Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of entertainment and gaming equipment technology, specifically a vibration tube for gaming equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the booming development of the gaming industry, players' demands for immersive experiences from gaming devices are increasing. As games such as simulated shooting, throwing, and archery become a larger proportion of entertainment activities, the current methods often rely on electromagnets and motors with concave cams to simulate vibrations. However, prolonged operation can cause the motors or electromagnets to overheat and lose their magnetic properties, resulting in discontinuous operation and weak vibrations. Vibration tubes utilize a pneumatic dual-frequency vibration structure. For example, in simulated shooting, they can simultaneously simulate two different vibrations: one end can simulate the recoil of firing a shot, and the other end can simulate the recoil of the launcher's spool, bowstring vibration, etc. Furthermore, they can simulate vibrations in the same or opposite directions. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a vibration tube for gaming devices to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Summary of the Invention

[0019] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the utility model, a vibration tube for a game device includes a first hardware tube 1 and a second hardware tube 2. Both the first hardware tube 1 and the second hardware tube 2 are cylindrical hollow structures, and the two are fixedly connected by a hardware tube connector 23. This structural design facilitates the installation and layout of internal components. A vibrating section is installed inside the first hardware tube 1. This vibrating section includes a first spherical bearing 3, which has a threaded mounting head for easy connection to external components. One end of the first spherical bearing 3 is threaded to a first spring connecting rod 4. A first guide shaft 12 is fixedly connected to the first spring connecting rod 4, and the first guide shaft 12 cooperates with a track on the first hardware tube 1 to ensure the stability of the first spring connecting rod 4 during movement. One end of the first spring connecting rod 4 is externally fixed to a first spring fixing nut 5, and a cylinder front fixing member 7 is connected to one end of the first spring connecting rod 4. A first cylinder 8 is installed at one end of the cylinder front fixing member 7, and a cylinder rear connecting member 9 is installed at the other end of the first cylinder 8. The cylinder front fixing member 7 and the cylinder rear connecting member 9 are fixed inside the first hardware tube 1 with screws to ensure the stability of this part during operation. A first return spring 6 is fitted onto both the first spring connecting rod 4 and the first cylinder 8. The first return spring 6 is located between the first spring fixing nut 5 and the front fixing part 7 of the cylinder. When the first cylinder 8 drives the first spring connecting rod 4 to move, the first return spring 6 can perform the reset function. A second air pipe connector 11 is provided on the side of the first cylinder 8 near the rear connecting part 9, and a first air pipe connector 10 is provided on the side near the front fixing part 7. Through these two air pipe connectors, an external air circuit can be connected to control the operation of the first cylinder 8.

[0020] Inside the second hardware tube 2, another set of vibrating components is installed, including a second spherical bearing 19, which also has a threaded mounting head. A second spring connecting rod 24 is mounted on one end of the second spherical bearing 19. A second guide shaft 20 is mounted on the second spring connecting rod 24, and the second guide shaft 20 cooperates with the track on the second hardware tube 2 to ensure the stable movement of the second spring connecting rod 24. A second spring fixing nut 18 is mounted on the outside of one end of the second spring connecting rod 24. One end of the second spring connecting rod 24 is connected to the second cylinder 16. A second return spring 17 is fitted onto both the second spring connecting rod 24 and the second cylinder 16. The second cylinder 16 passes through the second cylinder housing 21 and the second cylinder piston guide 15. The second return spring 17 is fitted onto the second cylinder 16 and installed between the second spring fixing nut 18 and the second cylinder housing 21, serving a reset function. A third air pipe connector 22 is installed on the second cylinder housing 21 for connecting to an external air circuit to control the operation of the second cylinder 16. The second cylinder housing 21 and the second cylinder piston guide 15 are fixed to the second hardware pipe 2 by screws. A first limiting nut 13 and a second limiting nut 14 are installed at one end of the second cylinder piston guide 15. Both are installed on the second cylinder 16 to limit the stroke of the second cylinder 16. When the vibrating tube of this gaming device is in operation, it is connected to an external air circuit control system via a first air pipe connector 10, a second air pipe connector 11, and a third air pipe connector 22. When vibration is required, the control system controls the first cylinder 8 and / or the second cylinder 16 to operate, driving the corresponding spring connecting rod to move, thereby generating vibration. During the movement, the guide shaft moves along the track on the hardware tube to ensure stable movement, the joint bearing reduces movement stress, the return spring resets the components after the movement ends, and the limit nut limits the maximum stroke of the cylinder to ensure safe operation of the equipment.

[0021] The working principle of this utility model is that all the vibrating parts are fixed on the hardware tube, which reduces the damage of vibration to the shell of the game prop and also reduces the requirements for the hardness and toughness of the material of the shell of the game prop.

[0022] The vibration is divided into two parts, which are installed on two hardware tubes respectively. They can vibrate in the same or opposite directions, and the two parts can vibrate at different frequencies.

[0023] The first joint bearing 3 and the first spring connecting rod 4 are connected by threads and are integrally mounted on the first cylinder 8. The first guide shaft 12 and the first spring fixing nut 5 are fixed on the first spring connecting rod 4 to prevent the first spring fixing nut 5 from loosening during operation. The cylinder front fixing part 7 and the cylinder rear connecting part 9 are mounted on the first cylinder 8. The first return spring 6 is sleeved on the first spring connecting rod 4 and the piston rod of the first cylinder 8, and its two ends are respectively mounted between the first spring fixing nut 5 and the cylinder front fixing part 7 to form an integral structure. The first air pipe connector 10 and the second air pipe connector 11 are mounted on the first cylinder 8; the cylinder front fixing part 7 and the cylinder rear connecting part 9 are fixed to the first hardware pipe 1 by screws.

[0024] When the first return spring 6 is a pressure spring: the first air pipe connector 10 takes in air, the first cylinder 8 contracts and presses the pressure spring, driving the first joint bearing 3 to move towards the hardware pipe connector 23, simulating the shooting prop's front tube moving backward, the archery / fishing game drawing the bowstring and charging up; the first air pipe connector 10 returns to air, the first return spring 6 releases force, driving the first joint bearing 3 to move in the opposite direction to the hardware pipe connector 23, simulating the shooting prop's front tube resetting or the arrow being launched.

[0025] When the first return spring 6 is a tension spring: air enters the second air pipe connector 11, and the first joint bearing 3 moves toward the hardware pipe connector 23; air exits the second air pipe connector 11, and the first joint bearing 3 moves toward the hardware pipe connector 23 in the opposite direction.

[0026] By changing the type (pressure / tension) of the first return spring 6 and selecting the first air pipe connector 10 or the second air pipe connector 11 for air intake, the direction of vibration force (forward / backward) can be changed. All accessories installed by the first hardware pipe 1 are collectively referred to as the first part. The first part has the function of changing the direction of vibration and storing force.

[0027] The second joint bearing 19, the second spring fixing nut 18, and the second guide shaft 20 are mounted on the piston rod of the second cylinder 16; the first limiting nut 13 and the second limiting nut 14 are mounted on the piston rod of the second cylinder 16 to limit the direction of the hardware pipe connector 23, and the double nut design can prevent loosening. The piston rod of the second cylinder 16 passes through the second cylinder housing 21 and the second cylinder piston guide 15; the second return spring 17 is sleeved on the piston rod of the second cylinder 16, and its two ends are respectively installed between the second spring fixing nut 18 and the second cylinder housing 21. The third air pipe connector 22 is mounted on the second cylinder housing 21; the second cylinder housing 21 and the second cylinder piston guide 15 are fixed to the second hardware pipe 2 by screws to form an integral structure.

[0028] When air enters through the third air connector 22, the piston rod of the second cylinder 16 drives the second joint bearing 19 to move towards the hardware pipe connector 23. When the piston rod disengages from the second cylinder housing 21, the air pressure inside the housing is released, the second return spring 17 releases its elasticity, and drives the piston rod to move in the opposite direction towards the hardware pipe connector 23. After moving a certain distance, because the third air connector 22 continues to enter, the piston rod again drives the second joint bearing 19 to move towards the hardware pipe connector 23, forming a high-frequency repetitive vibration (the frequency is different from the first part), simulating the vibration of an archery bowstring and the vibration of a shooting prop's butt. After the third air connector 22 returns to its original position, the piston rod drives the second joint bearing 19 to return to its original position. Furthermore, the vibration frequency is different from that in the first part. This simulates the vibration of an archery bowstring and the vibration of a shooting prop's butt.

[0029] The first hardware tube 1 and the second hardware tube 2 are fixed together by a hardware tube connector 23. Both have fixing holes for mounting the main body of the game prop. The first joint bearing 3 and the second joint bearing 19 are threaded and can be connected to components of the game prop such as fishing rods, fishing nets, the front end or rear support of the launcher. The first guide shaft 12 mates with the track of the first hardware tube 1, and the second guide shaft 20 mates with the track of the second hardware tube 2, together guiding and stabilizing vibrations.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
