Arcade Machine Detachable Gaming Table Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing arcade machines are difficult to handle and expensive to transport due to their fixed design, which includes a rack, gaming table, and display screen connected as a single unit.
Innovation Solution
The arcade machine is designed with a detachable gaming table that can be connected and disconnected from a support bracket, allowing the machine to be split into two separate packages for easier handling and transportation. This design includes a control unit with a control circuit board, joystick, control buttons, and connection interfaces for compatibility with computers and game machines.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the arcade machine is designed as a fixed complete unit with rack, gaming table and display screen connected together, then the structural stability and completeness is improved, but the ease of handling and transportation cost deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The arcade machine is divided into separable components: a rack unit and a gaming table unit that can be detached from each other. The gaming table includes a control panel assembly that can be detached from the box body. This segmentation allows the machine to be disassembled into smaller, more manageable parts for easier handling and transportation, while maintaining structural completeness when assembled.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the arcade machine is designed as a fixed complete unit with rack, gaming table and display screen connected together, then the structural stability is improved, but the transportation cost deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The arcade machine is divided into separable components: a rack unit and a gaming table unit that can be detached from each other. The gaming table includes a control panel assembly that can be detached from the box body. This segmentation allows the machine to be disassembled into smaller, more manageable parts for easier handling and transportation, while maintaining structural completeness when assembled.
3Reliability
If the control panel is fixedly connected to the box body, then the reliability of connection is improved, but the ease of repair and maintenance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The control panel assembly is designed as a detachable component that can be separated from the box body through a cover member. This segmentation allows the control panel to be easily removed for maintenance or replacement without damaging the box body, while maintaining reliable connection when assembled through the cover member's engagement and fastening mechanisms.
4Stability of the object's composition
If the arcade machine has fixed connection between components, then the structural stability is improved, but the adaptability to different game modes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The control circuit board is equipped with multiple connection interfaces including video interfaces for display screens and interactive interfaces for computers or game machines. The video switching software enables the system to adapt to different game machines or computers, providing multi-functionality and versatility for various game modes while maintaining structural stability through the detachable but reliable connection design.

AI summary
An arcade machine includes a support bracket; a gaming table detachably connected to the support bracket; and a control unit coupled to the gaming table. The control unit includes a control circuit board, a joystick, control buttons and a connection interface electrically connected to the control circuit board. The control circuit board, the joystick, and the control buttons are arranged on the gaming table, and the connection interface includes a video interface configured for connecting a display screen and an interactive interface configured for connecting to a computer or a game machine. The arcade machine can be connected to and is applicable to a computer and a variety of game machines, thereby obtaining more choices and experiences of game modes and improving the applicability of the arcade machine. The detachable design of the gaming table can effectively reduce the difficulty of handling and reduce transportation costs.
