[0007] (One embodiment) 2-3 show preferred embodiments of the main control board drive device of the crane game machine of the present invention. These embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and do not limit the present invention. Among them, the following are included:

[0008] The crane game machine 10 includes a main control board H and four machine stands, which are divided into a first machine stand U1, a second machine stand U2, a third machine stand U3, and a fourth machine stand U4, respectively, and as shown in Figure 2, the first machine stand U1 is located at the upper left, the second machine stand U2 is located at the lower left, the third machine stand U3 is located at the upper right, and the fourth machine stand U4 is located at the lower right.

[0009] As shown in FIG. 3, the first machine base U1 is electrically connected to the first drive plate V1, the second machine base U2 is electrically connected to the second drive plate V2, the third machine base U3 is electrically connected to the third drive plate V3, and the fourth machine base U4 is electrically connected to the fourth drive plate V4. In addition, the first driving plate V1 is electrically connected to the first control unit F1, the second driving plate V2 is electrically connected to the second control unit F2, the third driving plate V3 is electrically connected to the third control unit F3, and the fourth driving plate V4 is electrically connected to the fourth control unit F4, and the machine base of any one of the above is electrically connected to the earth G. The main control board H has a circuit with five core cables, which are respectively divided into a first transmission core cable S1, a second transmission core cable S2, a third transmission core cable S3, a fourth transmission core cable S4 and a fifth transmission core cable S5. Among them, the first transmission core cable S1 is electrically connected to the first driving plate V1, the second transmission core cable S2 is electrically connected to the second driving plate V2, the third transmission core cable S3 is electrically connected to the third driving plate V3, the fourth transmission core cable S4 is electrically connected to the fourth driving plate V4, and the fifth transmission core cable S5 is electrically connected to the ground G.

[0010] The main control board H is electrically connected to the first driving plate V1, the second driving plate V2, the third driving plate V3 and the fourth driving plate V4 of the first machine base U1, the second machine base U2, the third machine base U3 and the fourth machine base U4 in a multiple-pair manner via the first transmission core cable S1, the second transmission core cable S2, the third transmission core cable S3, the fourth transmission core cable S4 and the fifth transmission core cable S5, so that the single main control board H corresponds to the multiple driving plates and transmits electronic signals.

[0011] The main control board H is electrically connected to the count receiving board Y via a transmission cable E, and the count receiving board Y is electrically connected to the coin insert X via the transmission cable E, and the coin insertion value of the coin insert X is transmitted to the count receiving board Y via the transmission cable E. For example, if the number of games per round is 10 yuan, the user can play five rounds by inserting a 50 yuan coin into the coin insert X. The count receiving board Y is electrically connected to the main control board H via the transmission cable E, and the main control board H transmits the coefficient data via the transmission core cable to the first driving board V1 of the first machine base U1, the second driving board V2 of the second machine base U2, the third driving board V3 of the third machine base U3, and the fourth driving board V4 of the fourth machine base U4. The driving board of each machine base selects the machine base position under the control of the control unit, and the coefficient data is fed back to the selected single-player mode or multi-player mode to play the game.

[0012] The control unit electrically connected to each drive plate of each machine base includes a remote control 11, a liquid crystal display 12, a push button 13, and a speaker 14. The user controls the remote control 11, looks at the liquid crystal display 12, and listens to the sound from the speaker 14 to select the machine base position, single-player mode, or multiplayer mode, presses the push button 13 to confirm, and then uses the remote control 11 to operate and move the catch arm inside the machine base, and presses the push button 13 to catch the object and enjoy the game.

[0013] In this way, the present invention allows each machine base inside the crane game machine 10 to be electrically connected to its own drive plate, and the main control board H is electrically connected to the drive plate of each machine base in a multi-pair manner via multiple transmission core cables, so that a single main control board H can transmit electronic signals to multiple drive plates, thereby significantly reducing the costs of the main control board H and the drive plates and allowing faulty drive plates to be replaced or repaired individually, thereby achieving a practical advancement in terms of reducing costs and simplifying subsequent repairs.

[0014] The above-described embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of explaining the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Therefore, all technical means and creative principles related to the present invention are included in the scope of the claims of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
