Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a bowling machine for recreation, and more specifically, to a pinball rotational setting device for a bowling machine for recreation that allows pinballs scattered by striking with a rolling ball to be gathered forward by rotation while in a rearward position and then arranged in a playable setting position while rising. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, bowling is an indoor game in which multiple bowling pins (hereinafter referred to as pinballs) are set up on the upper surface of a plate at one end of a lane having a prescribed length and width, and a heavy, circular bowling ball (hereinafter referred to as a rolling ball) is rolled over the lane to knock down the pinballs.

[0003] Operating a bowling alley where one can enjoy such bowling games requires large-scale facilities, such as lanes approximately 18-20 meters in length and automated bowling pin disposal systems, as well as significant costs, so they are not widely installed.

[0004] In addition, there is a problem in that the elderly, children, and others cannot enjoy the game because the player must hold and roll a relatively heavy ball.

[0005] To address this, the inventor has presented numerous recreational bowling devices that can be easily enjoyed by anyone, including the elderly and children, in Korean Patent Registrations No. 10-2274356, No. 10-0278793, and No. 10-2190829.

[0006] However, in the bowling apparatus described above, after the rolling ball strikes the pinball, the rolling ball and pinball are gathered at the rear, and the pinball moves to a pinball storage space for pinball rearrangement, while the rolling ball moves back to its initial position through the rolling ball recovery path. At this time, there was a problem where the rolling ball moved to the pinball settling surface or returned to the lane, and in addition, in the case of the pinball, which has a smaller outer diameter than the rolling ball, there was a problem where it escaped through the hole formed for the rolling ball recovery path while shaking due to the impact of the rolling ball.

[0014] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a pinball rotational setting device for a bowling machine for amusement according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0015] <First Example>

[0016] The present invention, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, comprises a box-shaped body (100) having a rolling ball guide path (110) formed at the front so that a rolled ball (G) rolled at the upper end of one side is guided to roll and a space (120) that is open upward; a partition plate (130) that separates the upper part of the space (120) into a front space and a rear space; a pinball setting plate (200) positioned to be movable up and down in the front space and maintaining the same plane as the rolling ball guide path (110) when raised; a pinball receiving part (240) positioned in the front space of the partition plate (130) to guide the up and down movement of the pinball setting plate (200) and having a pinball storage space to receive a pinball (B) when the pinball setting plate (200) is lowered; and a device having one end rotatably hinged (301) to the upper end of the partition plate (130) and the other end that is rolled and moved A pinball storage section (320) is formed to receive a rolling pinball (B), and is composed of a rotating plate (300) that rotates up and down around a hinge (301).

[0017] The above pinball setting plate (200) and the above rotating plate (300) can be each positioned in the space (120) of the body (100) and operated by a cylinder (500) (600) having a forward and backward rod.

[0018] The above body (100) is formed in the shape of a rectangular box and may be movable by having wheels installed separately at the bottom. Inside, an upwardly open space (120) is formed, and on one side, a ball guide (110) is formed to guide a rolled ball (G) rolled by a movable person in a horizontal state.

[0019] The above-mentioned rolling ball guide (110) is connected to an external rolling path that rolls the rolling ball (G), and is formed so that when the user rolls the rolling ball (G) through the rolling path, the rolling ball (G) is guided through the rolling path guide (110) to the pinball setting plate (200) inside the body (100) while maintaining a horizontal state.

[0020] A partition plate (130) is installed in the above space (120) to divide it into a front space and a rear space.

[0021] The above-mentioned plate (130) forms a front space so that the pinball setting plate (200) can move up and down.

[0022] In addition, a pinball receiving portion (240) is formed in which a pinball storage space is formed on the inside so that a pinball (B) can be stored in the downwardly moved state of the pinball setting plate (200) by the above-mentioned plate (130).

[0023] The above pinball setting plate (200) is configured to allow a plurality of pinballs (B) to be struck, and forms a pinball receiving portion (240) so that a pinball can be stored on the upper side when moving downward in the front space, and is formed as a smooth surface so that the surface maintains the same plane as the rolling ball guide (110) when moving upward.

[0024] That is, the pinball setting plate (200) can be operated up and down by a cylinder (600) having a forward and backward rod, which is located in the front space (120) of the body (100).

[0025] The cylinder (600) is fixed to the bottom surface of the space (120), and the end of a forward / backward rod, which moves back and forth by hydraulic or pneumatic pressure from the cylinder (600), may be hinged to the bottom surface of the pinball setting plate (200) to move up and down.

[0026] The above-mentioned rotating plate (300) is positioned at the rear of the space (120) of the body (100), and one end is rotatably connected to the top of the diaphragm (130) by a hinge (301), and the other end is formed with a pinball storage portion (320) to accommodate a pinball (B) that is rolled and moved, and is configured to rotate around the hinge (301).

[0027] That is, the rotating plate (300) is installed to rotate according to the forward and backward movement of the cylinder (500), and in the setting state, it maintains a state rotated clockwise around the hinge (301) to form a downward inclined angle so that the rolling ball (G) and pin ball (B) flow down. In this way, when the rolling ball (G) strikes the pin ball (B) in the setting state, the rolling ball (G) and pin ball (B) move along the inclined surface so that the pin balls are collected in the pin ball storage unit (320) located at the rear.

[0028] Afterwards, when a switching operation is performed to set the pinball (B), the cylinder (500) is operated by hydraulic or pneumatic pressure so that the rotating plate (300) rotates around the hinge (301), and at this time, the stored pinballs (B) roll down due to gravity.

[0029] At the same time, when the pinball setting plate (200) is moved downward, the rolling pinballs are collected in the pinball storage space of the pinball receiving section (240).

[0030] Afterwards, the cylinder (600) operates the forward and backward rod to lift the pinball setting plate (200), and at this time, when the upper surface of the pinball setting plate (200) maintains the same horizontal level as the rolling ball guide (110), the pinballs (B) gathered on the pinball setting plate (200) can be rearranged and set.

[0031] As another example, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the pinball setting plate (200) and the rotating plate (300) can be operated simultaneously through a single driving force by means of an interlocking means (600a).

[0032] The above interlocking means (600a) is composed of a motor (640a) installed in the body (100), a wire (650a) wound around the drive shaft pulley of the motor (640a) and having one end connected to the end of the rotating plate (300), a vertical member (610a) erected on the bottom surface of the space (120), a rotating member (620a) having its middle part rotatably connected to the top of the vertical member (610a) via a rotating shaft (621a) so that both ends rotate up and down, a lifting member (630a) having one end hinge-fixed to the end of the rotating member (620a) and the other end hinge-connected to the bottom surface of the pinball setting plate (200), and a rotating member (660a) having one end hinge-fixed to the rotating member (620a) and the other end hinge-connected to the bottom surface of the rotating plate (300).

[0033] That is, as shown in FIG. 4, when the pinball setting plate (200) and the rotating plate (300) are installed, when the user rolls the rolling ball (G) and strikes the pinball (B), the rolling ball (G) and the pinball (B) roll down along the slope (340) of the rotating plate (300), the rolling ball (G) exits to the user's initial position through the rolling ball passing hole (140), and the pinball (B) passes through the pinball passing hole (322) and is collected in the pinball storage unit (320).

[0034] Afterwards, when the rolling of the ball of the movement is completed and a switching operation is performed, the motor (640a) operates to wind and pull the wire (650a) through the drive shaft pulley, and the pulled wire (650a) lifts the rotating plate (300). At this time, the rotating plate (300) that is lifted rotates around the hinge (301), and at the same time, the rotating member (660a) is lifted and the rotating member (620a) is lifted. At this time, the rotating member (620a) rotates around the intermediate rotating shaft (621a) and moves the lifting member (630a) downward, and the downwardly moving lifting member (630a) moves the pinball setting plate (200) downward to form a pinball receiving portion (240), which is a space where a pinball can be stored, on the upper side of the pinball setting plate (200). In this state, the pinball rolls down along the ramp (340) of the rotating plate (300) by gravity, and the rolling pinballs are collected and stored in the plate ball receiving section (240). Once storage is complete, a switching operation is performed, and the motor (640a) releases the wire (650a) by the switching operation. Then, the rotating plate (300) rotates in the reverse direction around the hinge (301), and at the same time, the pinball setting plate (200) moves upward so that the pinballs can be positioned to be rearranged and set.

[0035] <Second Embodiment>

[0036] As illustrated in FIGS. 6 to 9, the present invention comprises a box-shaped body (100) having a rolling ball guide path (110) formed at the front and an upwardly open space (120) formed so that a rolling ball (G) rolled on one side upper part is guided to roll; a partition plate (130) that separates the upper part of the space (120) into a front space and a rear space; a pin ball setting plate (200a) having one end fixed by a hinge (201a) in the front space and the other end maintaining the same horizontal level as the rolling ball guide path (110) when rotating up and down around the hinge (201a); and a pin ball setting plate (200a) positioned in the front space based on the partition plate (130) to guide the up and down rotation of the pin ball setting plate (200a), to accommodate a pin ball (B) when the pin ball setting plate (200a) rotates downward, and when the pin ball setting plate (200a) rotates upward It is composed of a pinball receiving portion (240) that guides the pinball (B) to be lifted while maintaining the same horizontal level as the rolling ball guide (110), and a rotating plate (300) having one end rotatably hinged (301) to the diaphragm and the other end equipped with a pinball storage portion (320) to receive the pinball (B) that is rolled and moved.

[0037] The above pinball setting plate (200a) and the above rotating plate (300) can be each positioned in the space (120) of the body (100) and operated by a cylinder (501) (601) having a forward and backward rod.

[0038] Here, the configuration of the body (100), the plate (130), the rotating plate (300) that rotates around the hinge (301), the pinball receiving portion (240), and the pinball storage portion (320) is the same as that of the first embodiment, so a detailed description is omitted.

[0039] The above pinball setting plate (200a) is configured to rotate around the hinge (201a) when the forward and backward rod of the cylinder (601) moves downward.

[0040] The above-mentioned rotating plate (300) is installed to rotate according to the forward and backward rod movement of the cylinder (500), and in the setting state, it maintains a state rotated clockwise around the hinge (301) to form a downward inclined angle so that the rolling ball (G) and pin ball (B) flow down. In this way, when the rolling ball (G) strikes the pin ball (B) in the setting state, the rolling ball (G) and pin ball (B) move along the inclined surface so that the pin balls are collected in the pin ball storage unit (320) located at the rear.

[0041] Afterwards, when a switching operation is performed to set the pinball (B), the cylinder (500) is operated by hydraulic or pneumatic pressure so that the rotating plate (300) rotates around the hinge (301), and at this time, the stored pinballs (B) roll down due to gravity.

[0042] At the same time, when the pinball setting plate (200a) is rotated downward through the forward and backward movement of the cylinder (601), the pinball setting plate (200a) rotates around the hinge (201a) to form a pinball receiving section (240) so that the rolling pinballs can be collected, and the pinballs are collected in the pinball storage space formed by the pinball receiving section (240) in this way.

[0043] Afterwards, the cylinder (600) operates the forward and backward rod to lift the pinball setting plate (200a), and continuously, when the upper surface of the pinball setting plate (200a) maintains the same horizontal level as the rolling ball guide (110), the operation is completed, and at this time, the pinballs (B) gathered on the pinball setting plate (200a) can be rearranged and set.

[0044] As another example, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the pinball setting plate (200a) and the rotating plate (300) can be operated by an interlocking means (600b).

[0045] The above interlocking means (600b) is composed of a motor (640b) installed in the body (100), a wire (650b) wound around the drive shaft pulley of the motor (640b) and having one end connected to the end of the rotating plate (300), a vertical member (610b) erected on the bottom surface of the space (120), a rotating member (620b) with a middle part rotatably connected to the top of the vertical member (610b) so that both ends rotate up and down, a lifting member (630b) with one end hinge-fixed to the end of the rotating member (620b) and the other end hinge-fixed to the bottom surface of the pinball setting plate (200a), and a rotating member (660b) with one end hinge-fixed to the rotating member (620b) and the other end hinge-fixed to the bottom surface of the rotating plate (300).

[0046] That is, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, when the pinball setting plate (200a) and the rotating plate (300) are installed, when the user rolls the rolling ball (G) to strike the pinball (B), the rolling ball (G) and the pinball (B) roll down along the slope (340) of the rotating plate (300), the rolling ball (G) exits to the user's initial position through the rolling ball passing hole (140), and the pinball (B) passes through the pinball passing hole (322) and is collected in the pinball storage unit (320).

[0047] Afterwards, when the rolling of the ball of the movement is completed and a switching operation is performed, the motor (640b) operates to wind and pull the wire (650b) through the drive shaft pulley, and the pulled wire (650b) lifts the rotating plate (300). At this time, the rotating plate (300) that is lifted rotates around the hinge (301), and at the same time, the rotating member (660b) is lifted and the rotating member (620b) is lifted. At this time, the rotating member (620b) rotates around the intermediate rotating shaft (621b) and moves the lifting member (630b) downward, and the downwardly moved lifting member (630b) rotates the pinball setting plate (200a) downward, thereby forming a pinball receiving portion (240), which is a space where a pinball can be stored, on the upper inclined surface of the rotated pinball setting plate (200a). In this state, the pinball rolls down along the slope (340) of the rotating plate (300) by gravity, and the rolling pinballs are collected and stored in the pinball receiving section (240). When storage is completed in this manner, a switching operation is performed, and the motor (640b) releases the wire (650b) by the switching operation. Then, the rotating plate (300) rotates in the reverse direction around the hinge (301), and at the same time, the pinball setting plate (200a) rotates upward around the hinge (201a), positioning the pinball so that it can be rearranged and set.

[0048] Meanwhile, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited by the embodiments described above and the attached drawings, and that it can be modified and applied in various ways not exemplified within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, as well as widely applied by substituting each component and changing to equivalent alternative embodiments.
