Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a single-bar amusement machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the urban leisure and entertainment industry, amusement equipment that integrates fitness, fun, and interactivity is increasingly favored by the market. Traditional fitness amusement facilities, such as ordinary horizontal bars, climbing frames, and hanging devices, mainly focus on single physical training functions, lacking game mechanics and intelligent interactive design, resulting in weak user participation and making it particularly difficult to attract children and teenagers to use them continuously. Existing electromechanical amusement machines mostly focus on modes such as spinning, swinging, and coin-operated lottery, emphasizing sensory stimulation or luck-based games, lacking a tactile challenge experience directly related to human movement.

[0003] In recent years, although some products have attempted to integrate physical activities into amusement park settings, such as using pressure sensors to trigger animations or employing motion capture scoring, their functions are mostly limited to motion recognition or simple feedback, and a complete closed-loop challenge model of "motion triggering - process experience - score output" has not yet been formed. In particular, for the basic physical fitness indicator of "hanging endurance," there are currently no specially designed automated amusement park rides, let alone combinations of single-bar hanging movements with lifting mechanisms and multi-sensory feedback systems to create independent challenge projects with a sense of ritual and immersion.

[0004] This utility model was developed precisely because of the aforementioned shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a single-bar amusement machine that realizes an automated single-bar amusement mode.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model provides a single-bar amusement machine, including an amusement machine body. The amusement machine body includes a platform machine located at its bottom and extending forward for a person to stand on, and a machine located at the rear of the platform. The platform is provided with a first sensing device for sensing whether a user is standing on it. The single bar frame is slidably connected to the machine in the vertical direction. The single bar frame is provided with a single lever located above the standing platform for a person to hold. The single bar frame is provided with a second sensing device for detecting whether a user is holding the single lever. A drive mechanism is provided between the machine and the single bar frame, which can drive the single bar frame to slide up and down and can drive the single bar frame to rise after the user holds the single bar frame. The amusement machine body is also provided with a control module electrically connected to the first and second sensing devices and capable of controlling the operation of the drive mechanism.

[0008] As described above, the single-bar amusement machine has a display screen connected to the control module and facing forward to display animations and play information.

[0009] As described above, the single-bar amusement machine is further provided with a third sensing device for detecting the position of the single-bar frame between the standing machine and the single-bar frame.

[0010] As described above, the single-bar amusement machine also includes a safety mechanism between the stand and the single-bar frame to prevent the single-bar frame from falling.

[0011] As described above, the single-bar amusement machine has a recognition area on the platform for users to stand in, and a standing plate is provided on the platform in the recognition area. The first sensing device is a pressure sensor installed between the platform and the standing plate.

[0012] As described above, in the single-bar amusement machine, the second sensing device is a first optical sensor installed on the single-bar frame. The first optical sensor is positioned close to the single-bar cylinder and oriented parallel to the single-bar axis.

[0013] As described above, the drive mechanism of the single-bar amusement machine includes a drive motor mounted on the vertical machine, a rope reel connected to the output shaft of the drive motor, and a tension rope connected to the rope reel, with the free end of the tension rope connected to the single-bar frame.

[0014] As described above, the single-bar amusement machine includes two symmetrically arranged vertical rail columns, each with a sliding groove. The single bar frame is located between the two vertical rail columns, and sliding seats that are inserted into the sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the single bar frame. The sliding seats are equipped with sliding wheels that can abut against the wall of the sliding groove.

[0015] As described above, the single-bar amusement machine has several detection holes on the vertical rail column that pass through it and communicate with the sliding groove. The third sensing device is a second optical sensor installed on the vertical machine. The second optical sensor is configured to correspond to one of the detection holes so that the second optical sensor can detect the sliding seat through the detection hole.

[0016] As described above, the safety mechanism of the single-bar amusement machine includes a descender mounted on the vertical frame, the descender having a descending rope that can slide slowly, the free end of the descending rope being connected to the single-bar frame.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. Pioneering the "One Bar to the End" challenge game mode, filling a market gap, this solution implements a brand-new "One Bar to the End" challenge gameplay: After the user stands up to start, the system automatically sends the horizontal bar to a grippable position. Once gripping the bar, the user is lifted into the air and begins the timed challenge, which ends when the user voluntarily falls back to the platform. The entire process is scored based on the "duration of hanging on the horizontal bar," forming a fun challenge mode that combines physical strength, courage, and perseverance. This mode is the first of its kind among existing amusement machine products, breaking through the boundaries of traditional fitness equipment and amusement equipment, and creating a new form of entertainment: "motion-sensing challenge."

[0019] 2. Fully automated sensor control and safety linkage ensure a smooth and reliable challenge process. Through the coordinated control of the first sensor (standing detection), the second sensor (grip detection), and the control module, a fully automated process of "starting on the stand—lifting off the bar—timing stops" is achieved without manual intervention, making operation simple and intuitive. Simultaneously, multiple safety mechanisms, including the drive mechanism, position detection, anti-overshoot device, descent device, and emergency stop button, are integrated and linked to ensure stable operation and timely response in high-frequency, multi-person challenge scenarios, effectively preventing risks from malfunctions or mechanical failures.

[0020] 3. Multi-sensory immersive feedback significantly enhances the challenging atmosphere and entertainment experience.

[0021] To enhance the tension and sense of accomplishment of the "One Bar to the End" challenge, the equipment integrates a display screen, fans, lighting, and sound system to create an immersive sensory environment: during the ascent, an animation of ascent plays, fans simulate oncoming airflow, lights create a high-altitude visual effect, and stimulating sound effects make users feel as if they are flying. After the challenge, the score is automatically displayed and a game ticket can be printed, forming a complete "challenge-feedback-commemoration" closed-loop experience, greatly enhancing user participation and repeat play rate.

[0028] The utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0029] The orientations described in this utility model specification, such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," and "back," are based on the orientations in the accompanying drawings and are intended to facilitate the description of the relationships between the various components. They do not indicate the unique or absolute positional relationships between the various components, but are merely one embodiment of the utility model and are not a limitation on its implementation.

[0030] This embodiment describes a single-bar amusement machine, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the amusement machine body 100, the user of the amusement machine, that is, the player, the amusement machine body 100 includes a stand 2 and a platform 1 located at the bottom of the stand 2 and extending forward for a person to stand on, as shown. Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the platform 1 is equipped with a first sensing device 11 for sensing whether a user is standing on it. The standing machine 2 is slidably connected to a horizontal bar frame 3 in the vertical direction. The horizontal bar frame 3 has a single lever 31 located above the standing platform 1 for the user to hold. The horizontal bar frame 3 is equipped with a second sensing device 32 for detecting whether the user is holding the single lever 31. A drive mechanism 21 is provided between the standing machine 2 and the horizontal bar frame 3, which can drive the horizontal bar frame 3 to slide up and down and can drive the horizontal bar frame 3 to rise after the user holds it. The machine body 100 is also equipped with a control module 22 that is electrically connected to the first sensing device 11 and the second sensing device 32 and can control the operation of the drive mechanism 21. Figure 2 As shown, the single bar frame 3 can slide between the descending position P1 and the ascending position P2.

[0031] As a preferred option, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the stand-up peg 2 is equipped with a display screen 23 connected to the control module 22 and facing forward to display animations and gameplay information. This design not only enhances the user's interactive experience but also displays the game status and scores in an intuitive way. Furthermore, the vertical dimensions and height of the display screen 23 are coordinated with the horizontal bar frame 3. That is, when the horizontal bar frame 3 is in the raised position P2, the user's head is roughly facing the display screen 23. When the user is suspended under the single bar 31, the display screen 23 displays the suspension duration and can also display animations to increase the enjoyment of the game. To further enhance the enjoyment, the stand-up peg 2 is also equipped with a forward-facing fan assembly 28, which faces the user suspended under the single bar 31, creating a wind effect. This not only increases the realism but also makes the experience more vivid. To further enhance this atmosphere, the stand-up peg 2 is also equipped with a forward-facing light assembly 29. The light assembly 29 is strip-shaped and gradually curves forward from top to bottom, creating the feeling that the user is at a high place, high in the air. In addition, the machine 2 is equipped with a forward-facing speaker 201 to play music, game information, and other content related to the aforementioned animation. It can also be equipped with a coin slot 202 for accepting coins, a ticket dispensing device 203 for printing game tickets, and an emergency stop button 204 for controlling the emergency stop or emergency braking of the amusement machine 100.

[0032] In detail, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the platform 1 has a recognition area 12 for the user to stand on. A standing platform 13 is located in the recognition area 12 and is levitated on the platform 1. The first sensing device 11 is a pressure sensor positioned between the platform 1 and the standing platform 13. The pressure sensor can detect whether the user is standing on the standing platform 13. This design utilizes a simple physical principle—weight change—to achieve an automated start-up function, improving the intelligence level of the device and the user experience.

[0033] In detail, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second sensing device 32 is a first optical sensor mounted on the single bar frame 3. The optical sensor can be an infrared sensor, capable of emitting and receiving reflected signals to measure information such as the target's distance and speed. The infrared sensor is positioned at both ends of the single lever 31 and close to the cylindrical surface of the single lever 31, with its orientation parallel to the single lever 31. Only one first optical sensor can be used, located at one end of the single lever 31. In this embodiment, two first optical sensors are provided, located at opposite ends of the single lever 31 with their detection ends facing each other, to reduce errors through calculation and improve detection accuracy. This design employs a redundant detection mechanism to ensure stability and reliability during use.

[0034] In detail, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the vertical bar machine 2 includes two symmetrically arranged vertical rails 26, each with a sliding groove 261. The horizontal bar frame 3 is located between the two vertical rails 26. The horizontal bar frame 3 has sliding seats 33 on both sides that insert into the sliding grooves 261. Each sliding seat 33 has a sliding wheel 34 that can abut against the wall of the sliding groove 261, allowing the horizontal bar frame 3 to move smoothly up and down. The drive mechanism 21 includes a drive motor 211 mounted on the vertical bar machine 2, a rope reel 212 connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 211, and a tension rope 213 connected to the rope reel 212. The free end of the tension rope 213 is connected to the horizontal bar frame 3, and the tension rope 213 can also pass around the pulleys before connecting to the horizontal bar frame 3. This structural design utilizes basic mechanical transmission principles to achieve smooth lifting and lowering of the horizontal bar frame, while also considering safety and durability.

[0035] In this embodiment, the movement of the single bar frame 3 between the descending position P1 and the ascending position P2 can be achieved by controlling the forward or directional rotation of the drive mechanism 21 through the control module 22. However, to improve accuracy and safety, an additional supplementary solution is provided:

[0036] In Option 1, a third sensing device 24 for detecting the position of the horizontal bar frame 3 is also provided between the vertical machine 2 and the horizontal bar frame 3. Specifically, the vertical rail column 26 has several detection holes 262 that pass through it and communicate with the sliding groove 261. The third sensing device 24 is a second optical sensor installed on the vertical machine 2. The second optical sensor is correspondingly arranged with one of the detection holes 262 so that the second optical sensor can detect the sliding seat 33 through the detection hole 262. This allows the detection of the position of the horizontal bar frame 3 between the descending position P1 and the ascending position P2, and the feedback is sent to the control module 22 to help the control module 22 determine the position of the horizontal bar frame 3 and drive the horizontal bar frame 3 to move upward or downward.

[0037] Option 2: To prevent the horizontal bar frame 3 from sliding downwards beyond its travel range, such as... Figure 5As shown, a safety mechanism 25 is provided between the vertical machine 2 and the single bar frame 3 to prevent the single bar frame 3 from falling. The safety mechanism 25 includes a descent device 251 mounted on the vertical machine 2. The specific structure can be found in patent CN91233328.6, entitled "High-Altitude Safety Descent Device." The descent device 251 generally has a slowly sliding descent rope 252. The free end of the descent rope 252 is connected to the single bar frame 3. The descent rope 252 can pass around a pulley before connecting to the single bar frame 3, thus providing protection in case the descent device 251 unexpectedly loses power or braking. Additionally, the vertical rail column 26 is provided with a blocking block 263 to prevent the single bar frame 3 from sliding downwards. When the single bar frame 3 falls to the descent position P1, it rests against the blocking block 263.

[0038] Option 3: To prevent the horizontal bar frame 3 from sliding upwards beyond its travel range, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the standing machine 2 is also equipped with an anti-collision detection device 27 that can detect when the horizontal bar frame 3 rises to a preset height. The anti-collision detection device 27 includes a mechanical switch 271 and a photoelectric sensor 272. The mechanical switch 271 has a movable contact foot located on the sliding path of the sliding seat 33. When the horizontal bar frame 3 rises to the rising position P2, the sliding seat 33 touches the movable contact foot of the mechanical switch 271, thereby disconnecting the circuit or sending a signal to the control module 22. The photoelectric sensor 272 is an infrared sensor or a Hall sensor. The photoelectric sensor 272 faces the sliding groove 261, that is, it can detect when the sliding seat 33 passes by, thereby disconnecting the circuit or sending a signal to the control module 22. Through the above structure, it is accurately ensured that the horizontal bar frame 3 rises to the rising position P2.

[0039] The control method for this type of single-bar amusement machine, applied to the aforementioned single-bar amusement machine, is characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0040] A. When the user stands in the recognition area 12 of the platform 1, the first sensor 11 detects that the user is standing in the recognition area 12 and sends a signal to the control module 22. The control module 22 determines that the game is in the start state and the game begins.

[0041] B. The control module 22 controls the horizontal bar frame 3 to slowly descend to a specified height, that is, to the descent position P1 as the preset height. This preset height is to ensure that the single bar 31 is 10cm to 30cm higher than the head of a normal adult, so that the single bar 31 is above the user. When the user's hands are on the single bar 31, the second sensor device 32 detects that the user's hands are on the horizontal bar and sends a signal to the control module 22. The control module 22 determines that it is in the ready state.

[0042] C. The control module 22 controls the horizontal bar frame 3 to slowly rise to the specified height, that is, to the rising position P2. This position ensures that the user's feet have left the platform 1, but the distance from the platform 1 is kept below 80cm to avoid injury when the user falls. This allows the user to hold onto the horizontal bar and hang. The control module 22 determines that the timing has started.

[0043] D. When the user falls back to the recognition area 12 of platform 1, the second sensor 32 detects that the user's hand leaves the bar and sends a signal to the control module 22. The first sensor 11 detects that the user is standing in the recognition area 12 and sends a signal to the control module 22. The control module 22 determines that the timing has ended.

[0044] E. The control module 22 calculates the total time elapsed from the start of the timer to the end of the timer, which is used as the user's game score, and the game ends.

[0045] As a preferred embodiment, the stand-up peg 2 is equipped with a display screen 23 connected to the control module 22 and capable of displaying animations and gameplay information. Between the start state and the ready state, the control module 22 controls the display screen 23 to display gameplay and warning information. Between the start timer state and the end timer state, the control module 22 controls the display screen 23 to display game animation information. After the game ends, the control module 22 controls the display screen 23 to display the user's game score.

[0046] As a preferred embodiment, the stand-up peg 2 is also equipped with a fan assembly 28, which faces the user suspended under the single lever 31 to create a wind effect. When the display screen 23 displays game animations, such as flying, gliding, or fast-forwarding animations, the fan assembly 28 creates a wind effect, thereby enhancing the atmosphere and increasing the fun of playing.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of this utility model, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
