Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0019] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications are possible within the described range, and embodiments obtained by appropriately combining technical means disclosed in different embodiments are also included in the technical scope of the present invention.

[0020] First, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail while referring to FIGS. 1 to 6.

[0021] The modular dart game machine 100 according to the present invention mainly includes a base A, a dart target base 50, and four locking fittings 60. Hereinafter, the configuration of each member will be described.

[0022] The base A includes a holder frame 20, a vertical frame 30 installed on the holder frame 20 along the vertical direction Y, and a back panel 40 locked to the back of the vertical frame 30 along the horizontal direction X.

[0023] The holder frame 20 has two opposing holder frame sides 21, and two first support feet 71 that adjust along the vertical direction Y are installed on the bottom surface of the holder frame 20. The holder frame 20 is used to mount a power supply system or a heat dissipation system, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0024] The vertical frame 30 has two vertical frame bottoms 31 that are locked to the two holder frame sides 21 by screws 72, and a connecting upper part 32 that is in the opposite direction to the vertical frame bottoms 31, and the connecting upper part 32 has four through holes 33, and the vertical frame 30 is used to mount a speaker system, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0025] The back panel 40 has a back panel portion 41 corresponding to the vertical frame 30 and a bottom plate portion 42 connected to the back panel portion 41 and corresponding to the holder frame 20. The back panel portion 41 of the back panel 40 is equipped with two second support feet 73 that correspond to the first support foot 71 and are adjustable along the vertical direction Y. By installing each of the second support feet 73 and each of the first support feet 71, the base A is stably placed on the floor. In addition, two rollers 74 are installed at the connection point between the back panel portion 41 and the bottom plate portion 42 of the back panel 40, and by installing each of the rollers 74, the dart game machine 100 is made easier to move. When transporting the dart game machine 100, tilting the base A backward causes each of the rollers 74 of the dart game machine 100 to contact the floor, making it easier to move the dart game machine 100 to a predetermined position. After moving the dart game machine 100 to a predetermined position, the inclined base A is returned to an upright position, each of the first support feet 71 and each of the second support feet 73 is brought back into contact with the floor, the base A is stably placed on the floor again, and the movement of the dart game machine 100 is completed.

[0026] The dart target base 50 is installed along the vertical direction Y on the base A and has a connecting bottom portion 51 provided on the connecting upper portion 32, the connecting bottom portion 51 having four screw holes 52 corresponding to each of the through holes 33. In this embodiment, the dart target base 50 is used to install a dart target 53, a main electronic display screen 54, a sub-electronic display screen 55, etc. What should be explained here is that the dart target base 50 further has a target frame portion 56, positioning columns 561 are installed at the four corners of the target frame portion 56, the dart target 53 has through holes 531 provided in each of the positioning columns 561 at its four corners, and is detachably positioned on the target frame portion 56 by engagings 57 which are combined with each other on the positioning columns 561 (see Figure 6). Furthermore, as shown in Figure 4, the dart target base 50 has a window frame 581 installed below the dart target 53, a carrying frame 582 locked to the periphery of the window frame 581, and the main electronic display screen 54 is pre-locked to the carrying frame 582 and installed on the dart target base 50 by the carrying frame 582, making the main electronic display screen 54 removable for replacement or repair. Similarly, a positioning frame 59 is installed above the dart target base 50, and the positioning frame 59 is used to install the sub-electronic display screen 55, making the sub-electronic display screen 55 removable for replacement or repair (see Figure 1).

[0027] The four locking fittings 60 are removably screwed between the upper coupling portion 32 of the base A and the lower coupling portion 51 of the dart target base 50. In this embodiment, referring to Figure 5, each locking fitting 60 has a drive head 61 and a threaded body 62 connected to the drive head 61, the drive head 61 is used by the user to grip and rotate it, the threaded body 62 passes through the through hole 33 of the vertical frame 30 from bottom to top and is screwed into the screw hole 52 of the dart target base 50, the drive head 61 is pressed against the upper coupling portion 32 of the vertical frame 30 and the base A and the dart target base 50 are locked together.

[0028] 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.

[0029] The present invention features a modular design for the main body of the dart game machine 100, specifically consisting of a base A and a dart target base 50. These two components can be quickly attached and detached by combining the upper connecting part 32, the lower connecting part 51, and the locking mechanism 60. This modular design of the dart game machine 100 allows the two components, base A and dart target base 50, to be stacked parallel or closely arranged during transport, maximizing the use of transport space and reducing the transport cost of each unit. Furthermore, the modular design of the dart game machine 100 reduces the risk of damage during transport, and the separate transport of base A and dart target base 50 provides even better protection, reducing damage from collisions and compression.

[0030] Incidentally, the present invention is designed so that the base A is composed of a holder frame 20 and a vertical frame 30, and a modular design is also adopted for the base A. During the transportation process, the holder frame 20 and the vertical frame 30 can be separated and stacked in parallel or arranged closely together to further utilize the transportation space and further reduce the transportation cost of each unit cargo. Furthermore, by separating the holder frame 20 of the base A from the vertical frame 30 and then adjusting the base A and the dart target base 50 to the maximum size limits for express delivery, the present invention can be transported without using a dedicated truck, thereby effectively reducing transportation costs.

[0031] In such cases, as shown in Figure 6, the present invention assembles the dart target 53 on the dart target base 50 in a modular form, so that if the dart target 53 is damaged and needs repair or replacement, the engaging device 57 can be removed, the entire dart target 53 can be separated from the dart target base 50, and the dart target 53 can be easily removed for repair. Furthermore, the dart target 53 is positioned on the dart target base 50 by the engaging device 57, and the dart target 53 can be removed without the assistance of external tools, effectively improving the convenience of removal. Similarly, the dart target base 50 is removably locked to the vertical frame 30 by the locking device 60, and the locking device 60 has a drive head 61 that can be driven by hand, so that the removal of the dart target base 50 and the vertical frame 30 does not require the assistance of external tools, similarly improving the convenience of removal (see Figure 5).

[0032] The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can be implemented in various forms without departing from the spirit of the invention. [Explanation of symbols]
