Prize Game Placing Base Edge Protection Cover
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional prize acquisition game devices have exposed edges on the placing base, which are prone to scratches and damage when the door is opened or closed, affecting the aesthetic appearance and durability.
Innovation Solution
A cover is disposed outside the edge of the placing base to protect it from damage, which can be integrated with the support or control panel, or configured separately, extending from the control panel to cover the edge, ensuring the edge is not exposed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the door is mounted on the placing base with exposed edges, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the edge is prone to scratches and damage affecting appearance and durability
Solution Approach 1:
The placing base is divided into two functional parts: the base structure itself and a separate cover component. The cover is detachably coupled to the placing base, allowing independent manufacturing and assembly. This segmentation enables the base to be simple for manufacturing while the cover provides protective functionality to prevent edge damage and maintain appearance.
2Reliability
If a cover is added to protect the edge, then the durability and appearance are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The cover is detachably coupled to the placing base through a coupling structure that integrates both components into a unified assembly during use. This merging approach provides the protective benefits of a cover while allowing easy separation for maintenance, cleaning, or replacement, thereby minimizing the impact on device complexity.
3Device complexity
If the cover is integrally configured with the support or control panel, then the structure is simplified, but the adaptability is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The cover is designed with detachable coupling mechanisms that allow it to be easily attached and detached from the placing base. This dynamic configuration enables the cover to be adapted to different door types, positions, and sizes, providing versatility while maintaining a simplified integrated appearance during normal operation.

AI summary
A prize acquisition game device includes: a prize display case that includes a casing defining a game space in which prizes are displayed; a prize acquisition device that moves in the game space to acquire the prizes; and a control panel that includes an operation device that receives an input to operate movement of the prize acquisition device. The prize display case further includes: a door that is disposed on a front side of the prize display case and opens and closes the game space, and a placing base that is disposed below the door, the placing base has a top surface, a front surface, an edge formed by the top surface and the front surface, and a support that is formed on the top surface and supports the door from below, and a cover that covers at least a portion of the edge.
