Description

A fighting machine Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of toys, and in particular to a fighting machine. Background Art

[0002] A batting machine is a highly entertaining toy that includes a main body, a table, and several structural components that collect the balls that are hit. Because the top of the structural components is higher than the table, the balls inevitably collide with the structural components during play. However, when the balls collide with the structural components, they lose a lot of kinetic energy, causing them to stop in the middle of the table, where they cannot be hit. This forces the game to terminate, and the subsequent trajectory of the balls is altered by external forces that should not occur in the game, affecting the game experience and fairness. In light of this, the present application is filed. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0066] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the lower wall will combine the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this application, but are not used to limit the scope of this application.

[0067] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inside", "outside", etc. indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on this application.

[0068] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted" and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; and direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0069] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 , as well as Figures 6 and 9 , the present application provides a fighting machine suitable for game players to fight against a ball S1. Specifically, the fighting machine includes a body 1, a table 2, several structural components 3, and a plurality of elastic components 4. For ease of explanation, in this application, the direction toward the center of the fighting machine table 2 is referred to as "inside," and the direction away from the center of the fighting machine is referred to as "outside."

[0070] The body 1 is formed with a plurality of ball-dropping grooves 101, wherein the plurality of ball-dropping grooves 101 are arranged at intervals. More specifically, the plurality of ball-dropping grooves 101 are arranged in sequence along the circumference of the body 1. The table 2 provides a platform for playing ball for the user. The table 2 is arranged in the middle of the body 1, and at least a portion thereof is located inside the ball-dropping grooves 101. Accordingly, the plurality of ball-dropping grooves 101 are spaced around at least a portion of the table 2. In this way, during the process of playing against the ball S1, the ball S1 may fall into the ball-dropping groove 101 after rolling on the table 2, or it may be hit again before falling into the ball-dropping groove 101 and continue to roll on the table 2. When a game player hits the ball S1 into the ball-dropping groove 101 corresponding to his opponent, he is judged to have won over his opponent.

[0071] Each of the structural components 3 is disposed on the table 2, and is located between two adjacent ball drop grooves 101. A ball collecting groove 5 is formed between the structural component 3 and the body 1. The ball collecting groove 5 is connected to the ball drop groove 101, and the ball S1 that falls into the ball drop groove 101 can roll into the ball collecting groove 5. The structural component 3 extends to the table 2.

[0072] In a possible embodiment, the structural component 3 is provided with a door hole 31, and the door hole 31 connects the ball collecting trough 5 and the ball dropping trough 101. A sensor is provided at a position corresponding to the door hole 31 on the structural component 3 or the body 1. The bottom wall of the ball collecting trough 5 is lower than the bottom wall of the ball dropping trough 101, and the bottom wall of the ball dropping trough 101 close to the ball collecting trough 5 is lower than the end away from the ball collecting trough 5. The sensor can be triggered when the ball S1 passes through the door hole 31. If the hit ball falls into the ball collecting trough 5, it will roll toward the door hole 31 due to the position difference, and enter the ball collecting trough 5 through the door hole 31. The sensor detects that the ball passes through the door hole 31 and transmits a signal to the controller or other scoring mechanism, and the controller or scoring mechanism controls the scoring.

[0073] It is worth mentioning that the top of the structural component 3 is higher than the table 2. More specifically, the top of the structural component 3 is higher than the upper surface of the table 2. In the process of hitting the ball S1, the ball S1 may also hit the structural component 3 after rolling on the table 2, and cannot reach any of the ball-dropping grooves 101, nor can it reach the area designated by any game player to hit the ball S1. This forces the game to terminate, and the trajectory of the ball that should subsequently run will be changed by external forces that should not appear in the game, affecting the game experience and fairness. Based on this, the present application proposes that the hitting machine of the present patent application has an elastic component 4 set between the ball-dropping groove 101 and the adjacent ball-dropping groove 101, and the elastic component 4 is set on the inner side of the structural component 3. If the hit ball moves toward the structural component 3 located between the two adjacent ball-dropping grooves 101, it will not hit the structural component 3, but will hit the elastic component 4. The hit ball collides with the elastic component 4, which provides it with a large returning elastic force. In this way, the hit ball loses very little kinetic energy, which greatly reduces the possibility that the ball will stop at a position in the middle of the table 2 where it cannot be hit. More specifically, it greatly reduces the possibility that the ball S1 will stop at a position outside the designated area for hitting the ball S1. In this way, there is no need to be forced to terminate the game, and no unnecessary external force is needed to make the ball move again, which can improve the user experience and fairness of the game machine to a certain extent.

[0074] Specifically, the present application arranges the elastic component 4 on the structural assembly 3. Accordingly, each elastic component 4 is connected to a corresponding structural assembly 3, and the elastic component 4 extends from one side of the ball drop groove 101 to another adjacent ball drop groove 101.

[0075] In a possible embodiment, the elastic component 4 can be an elastic sheet, an elastic rope, etc., and the material can be rubber, plastic, etc. Preferably, a rubber elastic rope is selected.

[0076] In one possible embodiment, a recessed portion 6 is provided on the side of the structural component 3 facing the center of the table 2, that is, on the inner side of the structural component 3, and a gap is provided between the elastic component 4 and the recessed portion 6. Specifically, the side of the structural component 3 facing the center of the table 2 is recessed outward, that is, recessed in a direction away from the center of the table 2, to form a recessed portion. The gap between the elastic component 4 and the structural component 3 provided by the recessed portion 6 allows the elastic component 4 to deform toward the structural component 3 after the hit ball collides with the elastic component 4, ensuring that the elastic component 4 can smoothly store and release elastic force, thereby minimizing the kinetic energy loss of the hit ball after hitting the elastic component 4.

[0077] In order to prevent the ball hit on the table 2 from falling into the recessed portion 6 , the top of the edge of the structural component 3 must be higher than the table 2 .

[0078] The manner in which the elastic component 4 is disposed on the structural assembly 3 is not limited by this application. In one possible embodiment, connectors 7 are provided on both sides of the recessed portion 6 of the structural assembly 3, and the ends of the elastic component 4 are connected to the corresponding connectors 7. The ends of the elastic component 4 are connected to the structural assembly 3 via the connectors 7, thereby improving the stability of the connection.

[0079] Accordingly, the fighting machine includes a plurality of connecting members 7. The elastic component 4 is arranged on the structural component 3 through the connecting member 7. In an example of the present application, each elastic component 4 is arranged on the structural component 3 through two connecting members 7. In this example, the structural component 3 has a first side portion 302 and a second side portion 303. The first side portion 302 of the structural component 3 is adjacent to one of the ball-dropping grooves 101; the second side portion 303 of the structural component 3 is adjacent to the other ball-dropping groove 101. Every two connecting members 7 are respectively arranged on the first side portion 302 and the second side portion 303 of the structural component 3. One end of the elastic component 4 is connected to one of the connecting members 7, and the other end is connected to the other of the connecting members 7. When the structural component 3 has a recessed portion 6, the first side portion 302 and the second side portion 303 are located on both sides of the recessed portion 6; accordingly, every two connecting members 7 are respectively arranged on both sides of the recessed portion 6.

[0080] In one possible embodiment, the elastic member 4 is provided with a closed loop portion 41 at each end, and the loop portion 41 is sleeved onto the connector 7. The closed loop portion 41 provided on the elastic member 4 is structurally stable and easy to operate when sleeved onto the connector 7. The loop portion 41 can be formed by bending and knotting the ends of the elastic member 4, or it can be directly molded into the loop portion 41.

[0081] In a possible embodiment, a notch groove 42 and a column groove 43 connected to the notch groove 42 are provided on the structural component 3. More specifically, the notch groove 42 and the column groove 43 are provided at the top of the structural component 3. The notch groove 42 extends from the side of the structural component 3 facing the table to the top of the structural component 3. The connecting member 7 is plugged into the column groove 43, and the end of the elastic component 4 extends through the notch groove 42 and is sleeved on the connecting member 7. Both ends of the elastic component 4 extend into the notch groove 42 and are connected to the connecting member 7 and are confined in the column groove 43, so that the connection point of the collar portion 41 of the elastic component 4 is hidden in the notch groove 42, which will not affect the rebound effect of the elastic component 4 on the hit ball.

[0082] It should be understood that the two connecting members 7 used to connect the same elastic member 4 can be connected as a whole, which is equivalent to setting one elastic member 4 on the structural assembly 3 through one connecting member 7, wherein a part of the connecting member 7 is located on the first side 302 and the other part is located on the second side 303.

[0083] It should also be understood that the elastic component 4 can also be connected to the connecting piece 7 in other ways. For example, the elastic component 4 is a closed annular elastic element; a portion of the elastic component 4 is clamped or fixed on the side of the structural component 3 facing the center of the table, and the other portion is sleeved on at least one of the connecting pieces 7; for another example, the elastic component 4 is a closed annular elastic element; the structural component 3 has a three-dimensional annular groove, which extends upward from the side of the first side portion 302 facing the center of the table 2 to the top of the first side portion 302 and then to the top of the second side portion 303, and then extends downward to the side of the second side portion 303 extending from the second side portion 303 facing the center of the table 2, and the elastic component 4 is sleeved on the three-dimensional annular groove and is clamped in the three-dimensional annular groove.

[0084] In one possible embodiment, the playing machine further includes a ball beater 8. The ball beater 8 is movably disposed inside the ball drop trough 101, i.e., on the side facing the center of the table 2. This allows the player to intercept the ball S1 using the ball beater 8 before it enters the ball drop trough 101, thereby preventing the ball S1 from entering the player's corresponding ball drop trough 101 and thereby causing a loss. The player can then use the ball beater 8 to hit the ball S1 into the opponent's designated ball hitting area or the opponent's corresponding ball drop trough 101.

[0085] In a specific example, the ball beater 8 is slidably connected to the body 1 and / or the table 2. The ball beater 8 can move along the extension direction of the corresponding ball landing groove 101. In other words, the sliding direction of the ball beater 8 is consistent with the extension direction of the ball landing groove 101; wherein the extension direction of the ball landing groove 101 is consistent with the length direction of the ball landing groove 101.

[0086] In one possible embodiment, the hitting machine further includes a controller 10. A game player can control the movement of the hitting machine and hit the ball S1 via the controller 10. Specifically, the controller 10 is communicatively connected to the hitting machine 8 to control the movement of the hitting machine 8 and / or to hit the ball S1.

[0087] The manipulator 10 may be disposed on the machine body 1 or the structural component 3 , or may be independent of the machine body 1 and the structural component 3 .

[0088] The specific method of driving the ball-beating device 8 is not limited by the present application. In one possible embodiment, the hitting machine further includes a driving assembly 9. The driving assembly 9 is drivably connected to the ball-beating device 8, so that when the driving assembly 9 moves, the ball-beating device 8 moves.

[0089] In one example of the present application, the drive assembly includes at least a first driver 910 and a transmission assembly 920. The first driver 910 is communicatively connected to the controller 10; the transmission assembly 920 is transmissionably connected between the ball-beating device 8 and the first driver 910, so that when the first driver 910 moves, the ball-beating device 8 is driven to move via the transmission assembly 920.

[0090] In this example, the hitting machine further includes a control chip and a sensor. The first driver 910 is connected to the control chip, which is in turn connected to a sensor (e.g., a laser receiver). When a signal from the manipulator 10 is sensed by the sensor, it is transmitted to the control chip. The control chip controls the operation of the first driver 910 based on the signal, which in turn drives the hitting device 8 via the transmission assembly 920.

[0091] The first driver 910 can be implemented as a motor, whose shaft rotates during operation. The transmission assembly 920 converts rotational motion into linear motion. Specifically, the transmission assembly 920 includes a transmission housing 921, a first transmission wheel 922, a second transmission wheel 923, a third transmission wheel 924, a travel gear 93, and a rack 91. The first transmission wheel 922, the second transmission wheel 923, the third transmission wheel 924, and the travel gear 93 are mounted to the transmission housing 921. The rack 91 extends in the same direction as the ball drop chute 101. The first transmission wheel 922 is engaged with the first driver 910; the second transmission wheel 923 is connected to the first transmission wheel 922, rotates as the first transmission wheel 922 rotates, and is located below the first transmission wheel 922; the third transmission wheel 924 is engaged with the second transmission wheel 923; the traveling gear 93 is connected to the third transmission wheel 924, and rotates as the third transmission wheel 924 rotates; the traveling gear 93 is engaged with the rack 91; the first transmission wheel 922, the second transmission wheel 923, the third transmission wheel 924, the traveling gear 93 and the rack 91 cooperate with each other to convert the rotational motion of the motor into linear motion, and drive the transmission housing 921 and the ball beater 8 to move along the extension direction of the ball falling groove 101.

[0092] In this example, the hitting machine further includes a guide rail 92. The extending direction of the guide rail 92 is consistent with the extending direction of the ball drop chute 101. The transmission housing 921 is movably mounted on the guide rail 92, so that the transmission housing 921 can stably move along the extending direction of the guide rail 92, thereby enabling the ball hitting device 8 to stably move along the extending direction of the guide rail 92.

[0093] A rack 91 is provided along the edge of the table 2, and a guide rail 92 is provided on the body 1. Both the guide rail 92 and the rack 91 extend along the direction of the ball drop trough 101. The gear and rack 91 cooperate to drive the ball beater 8 along the direction of the ball drop trough 101, ensuring precise movement. The guide rail 92 constrains the trajectory of the ball beater 8, ensuring a precise and stable movement path.

[0094] In a possible implementation scheme, the ball beater 8 can extend toward the opponent's ball landing groove 101 to hit the hit ball. The side whose ball landing groove 101 the hit ball falls into is judged to have lost points. The controller can control the ball beater 8 to move along the extension direction of the ball landing groove 101 and control the ball beater 8 to hit the hit ball.

[0095] Accordingly, the ball-beating device 8 includes a movable portion 81 and a ball-beating portion 82. The movable portion 81 is slidably connected to the guide rail 92. The movable portion 81 is provided with a first driver 910 implemented as a motor and a travel gear 93. The travel gear 93 is transmission-connected to the motor and meshes with the rack 91. The ball-beating portion 82 is movably connected to the movable portion 81 and faces the center of the table 2.

[0096] In one example of the present application, the hitting machine further includes a second driver 930 and an elastic return element 940. The second driver 930 is connected to the control chip and the ball hitting section 82. When a signal emitted by the controller 10 is sensed by the sensor and transmitted to the control chip, the control chip controls the operation of the second driver 930 based on the signal, thereby driving the ball hitting section 82 to extend inward relative to the movable section 81. The elastic return element 940 is connected between the second driver 930 and the ball hitting section 82, causing the ball hitting section 82 to "automatically" rebound to its original position after extension, i.e., its position before extension relative to the movable section 81.

[0097] In one possible embodiment, the movable portion 81 and the ball-hitting portion 82 are located on opposite sides of the table 2 along its thickness, with the ball-hitting portion 82 located on one side of the top surface of the table 2. The movable portion 81 and the ball-hitting portion 82 are connected by a connector. The movable portion 81 is located below the table 2 so as not to contact or affect the movement of the ball being hit. The movable portion 81 is located above the table 2 so as to accurately hit the ball.

[0098] In one possible embodiment, the ball-beating device 8 is provided with a plurality of indicator lights 83, and the ball-beating device 8 is communicatively connected to the sensor. Upon receiving a trigger signal from the sensor, the ball-beating device 8 controls the number of indicator lights 83 to be illuminated. A count indicator light 83 is provided on the ball-beating device 8 to facilitate monitoring of points scored and lost.

[0099] In one embodiment of the present application, the fighting machine is powered by connecting to a power source. It should be understood that in other embodiments, the fighting machine further includes a battery and can be powered without being connected to a power source.

[0100] It is worth mentioning that the fighting machine of the present application is provided with multiple ball drop chutes 101, suitable for multiple game players to hit the ball S1. For example, in one example of the present application, the fighting machine is provided with four ball drop chutes 101; suitable for four game players to hit the ball S1. However, considering that when the actual number of game players is less than the number of ball drop chutes 101, the ball S1 may roll into an area or ball drop chutes 101 that does not correspond to any game player hitting the ball S1, causing the game to be forced to terminate. The position of the ball S1 needs to be changed by external forces that should not appear in the game, affecting the game experience and fairness.

[0101] Based on this, the present application proposes to set a removable partition 130 on the inner side of each ball-dropping trough 101, and the upper surface of the partition is higher than the upper surface of the table 2. In this way, when the official game is played, the partition 130 can be placed on the inner side of the ball-dropping trough 101 corresponding to the game player for normal use by the game player. The partition 130 can be placed on the inner side of the ball-dropping trough 101 that does not match the corresponding game player to avoid affecting the game experience and fairness of the game.

[0102] Accordingly, in a modified embodiment of the present application, the fighting machine includes a body 1 and a table 2. The body 1 has a plurality of ball-dropping grooves 101, wherein the plurality of ball-dropping grooves 101 are arranged at intervals. The table 2 provides a playing platform for the user, and is at least partially located on the inner side of the ball-dropping grooves 101; accordingly, the plurality of ball-dropping grooves 101 are spaced around at least a portion of the table 2. The fighting machine includes a plurality of partition mounting structures 120, and a plurality of partition mounting areas 110 are pre-set; wherein the partition mounting structures 120 are used to detachably mount the partitions 130; the partition mounting areas 110 are located on the inner side of the corresponding ball-dropping grooves 101, and are used to provide mounting space for the partitions 130.

[0103] In one example of the present application, as shown in Figures 10 and 11 , the fighting machine has four ball drop chutes 101, suitable for two players to play against each other with the ball S1. When only two players are playing, partitions 130 are provided on the inner sides of two opposing ball drop chutes 101 not assigned to the players. This can reduce the impact of the two opposing ball drop chutes 101 on the game to a certain extent.

[0104] Theoretically, the partition mounting structure 120 can be set at any position where the partition can be detachably mounted on the partition mounting area; preferably, it avoids the position facing the ball drop groove 101 to avoid affecting the normal rolling of the ball S1.

[0105] In an example of the present application, the fighting machine further includes a structural component 3A, the structural component 3A is located between two adjacent ball-dropping troughs 101 , and the partition mounting structure 120 is provided on the structural component 3A.

[0106] The specific implementation of the partition mounting structure 120 is not limited by this application. In one example of this application, the partition mounting structure 120 is implemented as a slot 1201. Accordingly, when the partition 130 is installed inside the corresponding ball drop chute 101, the partition 130 only needs to be inserted into the slot 1201 located on both sides of the ball drop chute 101. When the partition 130 needs to be removed, the partition 130 only needs to be pulled out of the slot 1201.

[0107] It should be understood that the partition mounting structure 120 may also be implemented as other structures, such as a clamping member or a buckling member.

[0108] It is worth mentioning that in the modified embodiment in which the partition mounting area 110 and the partition mounting structure 120 are provided, the elastic component 4 may be optionally provided or not provided; other components, such as the ball beater 8, the guide rail 92, the drive assembly 9, the second driver 930, the elastic recovery element 940, etc. may be provided with reference to the embodiments shown in Figures 1 to 3, and no further details will be given.
