Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a dart game machine, and more particularly to a dart target body structure of a dart game machine.

Background Art

[0002] A dart game machine is a dart game device that calculates scores using electronic sensing technology and displays the results of the game. Its basic structure includes a dart target, an electronic display screen, sensors, a control panel, a power system, etc. When a player throws a dart at the dart target and the dart hits one of the target blocks of the dart target, an electronic element corresponding to the hit position of the target block senses the position of the dart according to the sensing principle of the electronic element itself, such as electromagnetic sensing or pressure sensing, and calculates the score of the player.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] However, during the use of the dart game machine, not only does the player hit the target block with the dart, but the dart may also accidentally hit the target frame of the dart target. Over time, the target frame may be damaged due to accidental shooting, and the target block may become detached from the target frame. This not only affects the flow and accuracy of the game, but also further increases the time and cost required for repair and replacement. Conventionally, when repairing a dart target, problems such as the complexity of the structure and the difficulty of maintenance are faced, and it is often necessary to replace the entire dart target. This means that there is no stopping the increase in operating costs for the operators of dart venues.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0019] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described through embodiments of the invention. However, the following embodiments do not limit the invention according to the claims. Also, not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are essential for the solution means of the invention.

[0020] First, an example of a specific embodiment of the structure of the dart target body of the dart game machine of the present invention will be described while referring to FIGS. 1 to 7B.

[0021] The structure of the dart target body of the dart game machine according to the present invention is mainly composed of a main body frame 10, a dart target module A, and a mark frame group B. First, after the dart target module A is installed on the mark frame group B, the mark frame group B is installed on the main body frame 10, so that the dart target module A is stably installed on the main body frame 10. Hereinafter, the configuration of each member will be described.

[0022] The main body frame 10 has a storage space 11, a frame portion 12 installed in the storage space 11, and four lock column portions 13 installed at the four corners of the frame portion 12 and extending outward. The lock column portion 13 is used to lock and remove the lock button 14.

[0023] The dart target module A is installed in the storage space 11 of the main body frame 10, and sequentially includes an annular zero-point target frame 70, a main target frame 20, a plurality of target blocks 30, a support plate 50, and a secondary target frame 40 from the outside to the inside. The main target frame 20, the support plate 50, and the secondary target frame 40 are locked to be integrated by a plurality of first lock assembly members 60.

[0024] The main target frame 20 is substantially disc-shaped, and has a plurality of first internal locking portions 21 at its peripheral edge, and a plurality of radially arranged first frame portions 22 at its central portion, and a first ring projection 23 which is located between each of the first internal locking portions 21 and each of the first frame portions 22 and has an annular shape.

[0025] Each of the target blocks 30 is detachably installed on the first frame portion 22 of the main target frame 20.

[0026] The secondary target frame 40 and the main target frame 20 have the same structure and are installed on the rear side of the main target frame 20. The secondary target frame 40 has a plurality of second internal locking parts 41 corresponding to the first internal locking part 21, a plurality of second frame parts 42 for mounting the target block 30, and a second ring projection 43 located between the second internal locking parts 41 and the second frame parts 42.

[0027] The support plate 50 is installed between the main target frame 20 and the secondary target frame 40 and has multiple holes 51 corresponding to the first internal locking parts 21 and the second internal locking parts 41, and multiple first external locking parts 52 provided on its periphery. In this embodiment, the support plate 50 is made of transparent acrylic, but the present invention is not limited thereto and may be made of a general plate, medium-density fiberboard or fiberboard, and an electronic sensing plate 91 is installed on the support plate 50. The electronic sensing plate 91 is sandwiched between the main target frame 20 and the support plate 50, and whether or not to install a light panel 92 on the rear side of the secondary target frame 40 is determined by whether or not to select an emitting plate or a non-emitting plate.

[0028] In this case, as shown in Figures 4, 7A, and 7B, each of the first lock assembly members 60 is composed of a nut 61 and a wing bolt 62, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and locking may be achieved by combining a nut with a hexagonal screw. The nut 61 is installed on the first internal locking portion 21 of the main target frame 20, and the wing bolt 62 has a wing head 621 and a bolt portion 622 connected to the wing head 621. The wing head 621 abuts against the second internal locking portion 41 of the secondary target frame 40, and the bolt portion 622 is sequentially inserted into the second internal locking portion 41 of the secondary target frame 40, the hole 51 of the support plate 50, and the first internal locking portion 21 of the main target frame 20, and screwed into the nut 61, thereby locking the main target frame 20, the support plate 50, and the secondary target frame 40 together.

[0029] In this case, as shown in Figures 4, 6A and 7B, the zero-point target frame 70 has an annular contact portion 71 that presses to limit the position of the first ring projection 233 of the main target frame 20, and the annular contact portion 71 is used to press the second ring projection 43 of the secondary target frame 40. In this embodiment, the zero-point target frame 70 is composed of a plurality of zero-point frame segments 70A, and each zero-point frame segment 70A has a second outer lock portion 72 on both sides. Each adjacent second outer lock portion 72 is superimposed on the other, and the second outer lock portion 72 corresponds to the first outer lock portion 52 of the support plate 50.

[0030] In this case, as shown in Figures 4, 6A, and 6B, the mark frame group B is provided with mounting holes 80B at its four corners and four columnar fixing parts 83B. In this embodiment, the mark frame group B consists of a lower frame 81, a face frame 82, and an intermediate frame 83 installed between the lower frame 81 and the face frame 82. The intermediate frame 83 has a plurality of fixing parts 83B that penetrate the lower frame 81. The fixing parts 83B protrude sequentially from the second outer lock part 72 of the zero-point target frame 70 and the first outer lock part 52 of the support plate 50, and are tightly combined, or the lock members protrude from the first outer lock part 52, thereby stably mounting the dart target module A to the mark frame group B. Incidentally, the face frame 82 is a decorative number frame member, and the intermediate frame 83 is the fixing position for all the lock members, and may be made of plastic injection molded plastic or metal. In this embodiment, the fixing portion 83B is metal-welded to the middle frame 83, and the middle frame 83 is a support layer, mainly used to reinforce structural strength and increase distance, and may be manufactured from fiber or plastic injection molding may be employed. Also, referring to Figures 4, 5A and 5B, the mark frame group B is stably mounted on the main frame 10 by having the mounting holes 80B cover the lock column portion 13 of the main frame 10, with each lock column portion 13 partially protruding from the mark frame group B, and the lock button 14 being locked to the lock column portion 13 protruding from the mark frame group B.

[0031] The above describes the configuration of each main component according to the embodiment of the present invention. The operating method and effects of the present invention will be described below.

[0032] In this invention, the main target frame 20, secondary target frame 40, and support plate 50 are mounted using the first lock assembly member 60, and then the zero-point target frame 70 is mounted to the mark frame group B, and the mark frame group B is mounted to the main body frame 10. In this way, the dart target module A is modularized and installed on the main body frame 10, and since the main target frame 20 and secondary target frame 40 are designed to have the same structure, even if the main target frame 20 is damaged, the dart target module A can be removed from the main body frame 10 and the damaged main target frame 20 can be replaced with the completed secondary target frame 40, making it usable again without replacing the entire dart target module A, and effectively suppressing maintenance costs. Furthermore, the secondary target frame 40 can achieve a light source shielding effect, preventing the light emitted from the light panel 92 from generating cross color. If the support plate 50 is made of acrylic material, the cross color can be optimized by printing a light-shielding film on the support plate 50.

[0033] The point to be explained here is that, by designing the main target frame 20 and the secondary target frame 40 to have the same structure, during the process of exchanging the main target frame 20 and the secondary target frame 40, the target block 30 removed from the main target frame 20 is smoothly assembled onto the second frame portion 42 of the secondary target frame 40, and the annular contact portion 71 of the zero-point target frame 70 similarly stably presses against the second ring protrusion 43 of the secondary target frame 40, thereby completing the exchange between the main target frame 20 and the secondary target frame 40 without damaging their original function and form.

[0034] Incidentally, the present invention is designed so that the zero-point target frame 70 is composed of multiple zero-point frame segments 70A. Therefore, even if one of the zero-point frame segments 70A is damaged, only the damaged zero-point frame segment 70A needs to be replaced, eliminating the need to replace the entire zero-point target frame 70 and effectively reducing maintenance costs.

[0035] The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the claims. Embodiments obtained by appropriately combining the technical means disclosed in different embodiments are also included in the technical scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
