[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This utility model is provided from top to bottom with a ball launcher that can move laterally, a set of baffles that guides the ball to fall randomly, a lifting frame, and a ball lane. It can control the ball to be released at different positions, and after passing through the baffles, it can pass through different lifting frames and finally enter different ball lanes, which increases the playability and enhances the overall fun. [Image Description]
[0014] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model;
[0015] Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the present invention. [Detailed Implementation]
[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0017] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of this utility model are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. Furthermore, descriptions involving "preferred," "second-best," etc., in this utility model are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined as "preferred" or "second-best" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.
[0018] like Figure 1-2As shown, a ball-dropping amusement machine includes a base 1. A transverse groove 2 is provided on the upper front side of the base 1. A ball launcher 4, which loads a ball 3 and releases the ball 3 downwards, is located on the front side of the base 1 in front of the transverse groove 2. A transverse motion assembly, with its moving end extending from the transverse groove 2 and connected to the ball launcher 4, is located inside the base 1. Multiple transversely arranged baffle groups are located on the front side of the base 1 below the transverse groove 2. Each baffle group consists of multiple transversely arranged and outwardly extending baffles 5, with the ball 3 able to pass between adjacent baffles 5. The baffles 5 in adjacent baffle groups are staggered. Multiple vertically arranged vertical grooves 6 are located on the front side of the base 1 below the baffle groups. A ball feeder is located on the base 1 in front of the vertical grooves 6. The ball 3 passes through a lifting frame 7, which contains a first detector for detecting the passage of the ball 3. The base 1 contains multiple vertical motion components with moving ends extending from one of the vertical slides 6 and connected to the lifting frame 7. The front side of the base 1, located below the lifting frame 7, contains multiple horizontally arranged ball lanes 8, each containing a second detector for detecting the passage of the ball 3. The base 1 contains a main control component that is connected to the ball launcher 4, the horizontal motion components, the first detector, the vertical motion components, and the second detector. The base 1 also contains an operation component 10 that is connected to the main control component to input motion commands from the horizontal motion components and ball launcher 4, as well as a main display 11 for displaying the score of the ball 3. During gameplay, the main control component controls the vertical motion component to drive the lifting frame 7 to move up and down along the vertical slide 6. Simultaneously, the player inputs the lateral movement command and the ball-serving command of the ball-serving device 4 to the main control component through the operation component 10. After receiving the control commands, the main control component controls the lateral motion component to drive the ball-serving device 4 to move laterally. When the ball-serving device 4 moves to the position where the player lowers the ball 3, the main control component controls the ball-serving device 4 to release the ball 3 downwards. After the ball 3 is released from the ball-serving device 4, it passes through the baffle group and the lifting frame 7 in sequence and enters the lower lane 8. After the ball 3 passes through the lifting frame 7 and the lane 8, it triggers the corresponding first detector and second detector. The main control component calculates the score based on the trigger signals of the first detector and second detector and displays the score through the main display 4.
[0019] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the front side of the base 1, located above the ball launcher 4, is equipped with a guide frame 12 for guiding the ball 3 into the ball launcher 4. Inside the base 1, there is a ball delivery assembly that transports the ball 3 from the lower lane 8 to the upper guide frame 12. In practical applications, the ball delivery assembly transports the ball 3 passing through the lane 8 to the guide frame 12, guiding it to fall into the ball launcher 4. The guide frame 12 is positioned on the left side of the transverse slide 2, allowing the ball launcher 4 to move laterally over a wider range to select the position of the lower ball 3.
[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the front side of the lifting frame 7 is equipped with a frame display screen 13 connected to the main control component, which enhances the fun of playing.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the front side of the ball launcher 4 is provided with an arrow 9 that points downwards to indicate the direction of the ball launch, which can accurately indicate the position of the ball 3 when it is launched.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the operation component 10 is a rolling ball component that can be rolled to input movement commands for the lateral movement component and can be pressed to input ball-serving commands for the ball-serving device 4. It sends control commands to drive the lateral movement component by rotating the rolling ball and sends ball-serving commands for the ball-serving device 4 by pressing the rolling ball.
[0023] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
