[0047] The bead storage and retrieval device provided in this application includes a panel with a bead pouring opening; a bead pouring chamber disposed on the inner surface of the panel and communicating with the bead pouring opening, the bottom surface of the bead pouring chamber having multiple bead passage holes; a counting device including a bead inlet and a bead outlet, the bead inlet being located below the bead passage holes in the bead pouring chamber; and a bead storage chamber communicating with the bead outlet. By providing multiple bead passage holes on the bottom surface of the bead pouring chamber, game users can pour an entire frame of beads into the bead pouring chamber. Multiple bead passage holes allow multiple beads to pass through simultaneously into the counting device for calculation, effectively improving bead storage efficiency.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, one embodiment of this application provides an access bead structure, including:

[0049] The panel has a ball bearing opening 210;

[0050] The ball reversing chamber is located on the inner surface of the panel and communicates with the ball reversing port 210. The bottom surface of the ball reversing chamber is provided with multiple ball passage holes 260.

[0051] The counting device includes a ball inlet and a ball outlet, the ball inlet being located below the position where the ball-passing chamber has a ball-passing hole 260; and

[0052] The ball storage compartment is connected to the ball outlet.

[0053] In implementation, the panel refers to part of the housing of the bead storage device. The bead pouring port 210 on the panel allows the player to pour the beads into the bead pouring chamber. The bead pouring chamber is container-shaped. When the player pours multiple beads (such as a whole basket or a bag of beads) into the bead pouring chamber, these beads will pass through the bead passage holes 260 at the bottom of the bead pouring chamber. Since there are multiple bead passage holes 260, multiple beads can pass through the bead passage holes 260 at the same time and fall into the counting device. After being counted by the counting device, the beads will fall into the bead storage chamber, realizing a high-efficiency bead storage function.

[0054] In some embodiments, the counting device includes:

[0055] Base 110;

[0056] A bead-feeding container 120 is installed on the base 110, and the bead-feeding container 120 is provided with a round bead inlet;

[0057] A limiting plate 130 is provided between the bead inlet hopper 120 and the base 110. The limiting plate 130 has a circular groove 131 and a slot 132 communicating with the circular groove 131.

[0058] A turntable 140 is rotatably installed in a circular groove 131. The turntable 140 is provided with a plurality of bead holes 141 for beads to fall into, and the side of the turntable 140 is provided with an opening 142 communicating with the bead holes 141.

[0059] A drive unit 150 is provided on the base 110. The drive unit 150 is connected to the turntable 140 and is used to drive the turntable 140 to rotate so that when the opening 142 is directly facing the slot 132, the ball is ejected from the bead inlet 141 toward the slot 132.

[0060] A toggle assembly rotatably mounted at slot 132; and

[0061] A counting component is mounted on the base 110 and cooperates with the toggle component.

[0062] In implementation, the bead-feeding hopper 120 is shaped like a container with openings at the top and bottom. The top opening of the bead-feeding hopper 120 serves as a bead inlet for the beads to fall into. For example, the bead storage and retrieval structure provided in this application is applied to a bead storage and retrieval machine. The panel of the bead storage and retrieval machine is provided with a bead pouring port 210. The player pours the beads into the bead pouring chamber through the bead pouring port 210, and the beads fall into the bead-feeding hopper 120 from the bead passage hole 260 at the bottom of the bead pouring chamber.

[0063] The turntable 140 is positioned at the bottom opening of the bead inlet 120, allowing the beads to fall into the bead inlet hole 141. In implementation, the diameters of the bead inlet hole 141 and the bead passage hole 260 are matched to the size of the beads. For example, the beads can have various sizes; exemplarily, the beads include large beads and small beads, where the size of the large bead is a1 and the size of the small bead is a2, where a1 > a2. For example, taking a1 as 13 mm and a2 as 10 mm, when the function of storing and retrieving small beads is required, the diameters of the bead inlet hole 141 and the bead passage hole 260 can be set to be greater than 10 mm and less than 13 mm. Conversely, when the function of storing and retrieving large beads is required, the diameters of the bead inlet hole 141 and the bead passage hole 260 can be set to be greater than 13 mm. Further details are omitted.

[0064] The turntable 140 is located within the circular groove 131 of the limiting plate 130. The diameter of the turntable 140 matches the diameter of the circular groove 131, allowing the turntable 140 to rotate relative to the limiting plate 130 within the circular groove 131. Each bead inlet 141 has a corresponding opening 142, allowing the bead to pass through. When the opening 142 aligns with the side wall of the circular groove 131, the bead is confined within the bead inlet 141 by the action of the bead inlet 141 and the side wall of the circular groove 131. When the turntable 140 rotates so that the opening 142 aligns with the slot 132, the bead is ejected from the bead inlet 141 towards the slot 132 under the action of centrifugal force. When the bead passes through the slot, it triggers the actuating component to rotate by a certain angle. Each bead triggers the actuating component once, so the actuating component performs a reciprocating motion under the action of multiple beads. At this time, the counting component counts the number of beads based on the number of times the actuating component moves.

[0065] Optionally, the bead storage and retrieval device provided in this application also includes a bead outlet chamber. The base 110 is provided with a bead outlet hole 111 corresponding to the bead inlet hole 141. The diameter of the bead outlet hole 260 corresponds to the diameter of the first type of round bead, and the diameter of the bead outlet hole 111 corresponds to the diameter of the second type of round bead. The diameter of the first type of round bead is larger than the diameter of the second type of round bead.

[0066] The panel is provided with a bead outlet 250, and the bead outlet chamber is located on the inner surface of the panel and communicates with the bead outlet 250. The bead outlet chamber is located below the bead leakage hole 111.

[0067] During implementation, users may put beads of different sizes into the bead inlet 210. By designing the dimensions of the bead hole 260, the bead inlet 260 and the bead outlet 111, beads that meet the size requirements can be effectively picked out.

[0068] For example, when beads of different sizes are fed into the bead pouring opening 210, beads larger than the bead passage hole 260 cannot pass through the bead passage hole 260 and are thus kept in the bead pouring chamber. Further, beads smaller than the bead passage hole 260 fall through the bead passage hole 260 into the bead inlet hopper 120 and into the bead inlet hole 141 of the turntable 140. By setting a bead-leaking hole 111 on the base 110, the turntable 140 will drive the beads through the bead-leaking hole 111 during rotation. Beads smaller than the bead-leaking hole 111 will pass through the bead-leaking hole 111 and fall into the bead-discharging chamber. The user can then take out the beads from the bead-discharging chamber through the bead-discharging port 250. Beads smaller than the bead-passing hole 260 and larger than the bead-leaking hole 111 will be ejected from the bead-in hole 141 towards the slot 132 and fall into the bead storage chamber, so as to store the beads that meet the size requirements into the device.

[0069] Optionally, one side edge of the opening 142 is an inclined guide surface 143, which can better allow the ball to be ejected from the bead inlet 141 and improve technical efficiency.

[0070] The bead storage and retrieval structure provided in this application includes a panel with a bead pouring opening 210; a bead pouring chamber disposed on the inner surface of the panel and communicating with the bead pouring opening 210, the bottom surface of the bead pouring chamber having multiple bead passage holes 260; a counting device including a bead inlet and a bead outlet, the bead inlet being located below the bead pouring chamber where the bead passage holes 260 are located; and a bead storage chamber communicating with the bead outlet. By providing multiple bead passage holes 260 on the bottom surface of the bead pouring chamber, game users can pour an entire frame of beads into the bead pouring chamber. The multiple bead passage holes 260 allow multiple beads to pass through simultaneously into the counting device for calculation, effectively improving bead storage efficiency.

[0071] Optionally, the bottom surface of the ball-turning chamber can be designed as an inclined surface, with multiple ball-passing holes 260 located at the lower end of the bottom surface of the ball-turning chamber, which can better concentrate the balls into the ball-passing holes 260 so that they can pass through to the counting device for counting.

[0072] In some embodiments, the turntable 140 is divided into several fan-shaped regions, each fan-shaped region being an inclined surface with a high center and low edges, and the bead insertion hole 141 is located at the lowest end of the fan-shaped region.

[0073] The fan-shaped area gradually decreases from the center of the turntable 140 to the edge of the turntable 140. When the ball falls onto the turntable 140, the ball will concentrate in the lower edge area, thus falling more accurately into the bead hole 141.

[0074] In some possible embodiments, the two corners of the edge of the fan-shaped area can also be designed to be one high and one low, with the bead insertion hole 141 located at the lower position, so that the bead can fall into the bead insertion hole 141 better.

[0075] Optionally, the actuation assembly includes a fixed post 161, an actuation bar 164, and a movable block 162. The limiting plate 130 is installed on the outer surface of the base 110. The fixed post 161 is fixedly disposed on the first side of the slot 132. The movable block 162 is rotatably disposed on the second side of the slot 132. The gap between the movable block 162 and the fixed post 161 is smaller than the diameter of the ball. The movable block 162 is fixedly connected to the actuation bar 164 located on the inner surface of the base 110 by bolts 165 passing through the base 110. The counting assembly includes a photoelectric sensor 180 installed on the inner surface of the base 110. The photoelectric sensor 180 cooperates with the actuation bar 164 to count the number of times the actuation bar 164 moves.

[0076] Since the gap between the movable block 162 and the fixed post 161 is smaller than the diameter of the ball, when the ball passes through the slot 132, it will touch the movable block 162, causing the movable block 162 to move. When the movable block 162 moves, it will drive the toggle bar 164 to move synchronously, so that the movement of the toggle bar 164 is detected by the photoelectric sensor 180, thus realizing the ball counting function.

[0077] "Photonic Eye 180" refers to a photonic eye counter, a device used to count the number of times a moving object passes through. A photonic eye counter mainly consists of a light source, an optical system, a receiver, and a counting signal processing circuit. When a moving object passes through the counter, it blocks the light source or receiver, causing the light to be blocked or reflected. This physical change is converted into an electrical signal by the optical system and receiver, and then counted and statistically analyzed by the counting signal processing circuit.

[0078] Furthermore, the actuation assembly also includes a spring 163, and a fixing bolt 166 is provided on the inner surface of the base 110. The end of the actuation bar 164 away from the photoelectric sensor 180 is connected to the fixing bolt 166 via the spring 163. In implementation, the middle of the actuation bar 164 is fixedly connected to the movable block 162 via a bolt 165, thereby achieving a rotatable installation connection between the actuation bar 164 and the base 110. One end of the actuation bar 164 is connected to the fixing bolt 166 via the spring 163, and the other end of the actuation bar 164 engages with the photoelectric sensor 180. In implementation, when the movable block 162 is activated, it will drive the actuation bar 164 to move synchronously, causing the other end of the actuation bar 164 to trigger the photoelectric sensor 180 to count. After the count is completed, the actuation bar 164 resets under the action of the spring 163, waiting for the next count.

[0079] In some embodiments, the drive element 150 is a motor, and the power output shaft of the motor is connected to the turntable 140 through a reducer 170.

[0080] The speed reducer 170 is an independent component consisting of gear transmission, worm gear transmission, or gear-worm gear transmission enclosed in a rigid housing. It is commonly used as a speed reduction transmission device between the prime mover and the working machine. The speed reducer 170 matches the speed and transmits torque between the motor and the turntable 140, allowing the turntable 140 to rotate even with a small-power motor, thus controlling costs.

[0081] Secondly, this application also provides a game ball storage and retrieval machine, including the ball storage and retrieval structure as described above.

[0082] In practice, the game ball access device provided in this application has a housing 200, and a panel is mounted on the housing 200, or the panel is part of the housing 200.

[0083] Those skilled in the art will clearly understand that, for the sake of convenience and brevity, the structure and implementation principle of the game bead storage and retrieval machine described above can be referred to the corresponding structure and implementation principle in the foregoing embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0084] Furthermore, the game ball retrieval machine provided in this application also includes a control component (not shown) and a card reader 220, the card reader 220 and the control component being electrically connected.

[0085] In practice, the control component can be regarded as the computer host or main control chip of the game ball storage and retrieval machine. The control component is electrically connected to the card reader 220, and the card reader 220 can read the card (membership card, discount card or point card, etc.) information to ensure the smooth progress of the ball storage and retrieval process.

[0086] Furthermore, the game ball storage and retrieval machine provided in this application also includes a control screen 230, which is electrically connected to the control component. Through the cooperation between the control screen 230 and the control component, the dual functions of storing and retrieving game balls are effectively realized, making it easier for gamers to issue storage or retrieval commands to the computer host.

[0087] Furthermore, the game bead retrieval machine provided in this application also includes a barcode scanner 240, which is electrically connected to the controller assembly.

[0088] The barcode scanner 240 is a machine that reads barcode or QR code information. It uses an infrared light source to emit light, and then uses a chip to decode the code based on the reflection, finally returning the correct characters represented by the barcode or QR code.

[0089] In some embodiments, when a player needs to store beads, they can pour the beads into the bead-pouring chamber through the bead-pouring port 210. The beads in the bead-pouring chamber will then fall into the bead-entry hopper 120 through the bead-passing hole 260. Next, the player inserts their membership card into the card reader 220. The card reader 220 reads the membership information from the card and transmits the information to the computer host. The player can then operate the control panel 230 to issue a bead-storage command to the computer host, which will then perform the bead-storage. When a player needs to retrieve a bead, they can insert their membership card into the card reader 220. The card reader 220 will then read the membership information from the card and transmit it to the computer host. The player can then use the control panel 230 to issue a bead retrieval command to the computer host. The computer host will then eject the bead to the bead outlet 250, which the player can then retrieve. Through the cooperation between the control panel 230 and the control components, the bead storage and retrieval machine can perform both bead storage and retrieval functions, thus reducing the inconvenience for players when storing and retrieving beads.

[0090] The bead storage and retrieval structure provided in this application includes a panel with a bead pouring opening 210; a bead pouring chamber disposed on the inner surface of the panel and communicating with the bead pouring opening 210, the bottom surface of the bead pouring chamber having multiple bead passage holes 260; a counting device including a bead inlet and a bead outlet, the bead inlet being located below the bead pouring chamber where the bead passage holes 260 are located; and a bead storage chamber communicating with the bead outlet. By providing multiple bead passage holes 260 on the bottom surface of the bead pouring chamber, game users can pour an entire frame of beads into the bead pouring chamber. The multiple bead passage holes 260 allow multiple beads to pass through simultaneously into the counting device for calculation, effectively improving bead storage efficiency.
