Description

Game console structure

The present invention is a technology belonging to a game device, and specifically refers to a game machine structure through which a game machine that can sell goods or points games by detecting the nature of the item can further enhance the interaction and entertainment of the game machine.

According to, in recent years, to help people effectively relieve the pressure of life, there are various game devices on the streets, shops, and playgrounds for people's entertainment and decompression, such as vending machines, shooting machines, and dancing machines. Among them, the selection vending machine is mainly located in a storage space with a falling object opening in a machine, and there are many objects (such as plush dolls, electronic products, etc.) placed in the storage space. The machine is placed in parallel There is a gripping module [including gripper and mobile crane] above the storage space, and the gripper movement of the gripping module is controlled by the control module on the machine [including direction rocker and lower gripper button] , For selecting and grabbing the item to be purchased, and moving the item to the falling object opening in the storage space. If the item can be smoothly dropped into the falling object opening, the player can obtain the item; but this type of selection Vending machines are only limited to grabbing items. When the value cost of the provided items is too low, it will be difficult to attract players. If the value cost is too high, it will cause losses to the merchant. Therefore, it must reduce the chance of winning, and it will lose in the long run. Attractiveness to players. In addition, when items become less and less or popular items are caught, it will also reduce the player’s willingness to play, which in turn will increase the economic benefits of the vending machine. Less. In addition, the item selection vending machine has no other gameplay besides providing item selection games. Therefore, its use and variability are restricted by the players. It is also difficult to provide merchants for marketing or promotional activities. Room for improvement.

In other words, if you can add more novel, interesting, and interactive game options to the selection vending machine, I believe it can increase the attractiveness of players, bring new business opportunities, and improve its economic benefits.

The reason is that the present inventor has made an in-depth discussion on the problems faced by the existing vending machines, and with years of experience in research and development and manufacturing in related industries, after continuous efforts to improve and trial production, finally successfully developed a game machine structure. In order to overcome the inconvenience and trouble caused by the existing players being unable to choose game methods and score points.

Therefore, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a structure of a game machine, which can change the game mode after detecting the nature of the object, thereby increasing its entertainment effect and increasing the attraction to players.

In addition, another main purpose of the present invention is to provide a game machine structure that allows players to find specific items to score game points and generate different games to further enhance the fun of the game machine.

Based on this, the present invention mainly achieves the aforementioned objectives and effects through the following technical means: for grabbing at least one item with an identification tag, which includes: a machine with an accommodation space, the machine The platform has a retrieval port connected to the accommodating space, and the accommodating space may include a grabbing area and an identification area, wherein the grabbing area can be used for placing a plurality of items, and the identification area has a falling object path and an identification area Reflux channel, in which the falling object channel is connected to the fetching port through a falling object opening, and the return channel is connected Through the grabbing area; a control module, which is set in the machine, the control module has a processing unit, the processing unit is connected to a starting unit to start the game, and the processing unit is connected to a accommodating space The fetching unit on the top can selectively grab the items and move them in the accommodating space. Furthermore, the processing unit is electrically connected to a control unit that can operate the fetching unit, and the processing unit is also connected to a setting item game information Memory unit; a selection module, which is set in the recognition area of the machine, the selection module includes a scanning unit connected to the processing unit, the scanning unit can identify the movement path of the article, and the selection module is in A baffle is provided on the falling object and the return channel of the identification zone, and the baffles can be operated separately or synchronously through at least one baffle drive connected to the processing unit, so that the baffles of the falling object and the return channel can be selectively In a state where one is open and the other is closed.

In order to enable your reviewer to further understand the composition, features and other purposes of the present invention, the following is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, accompanied by detailed descriptions in conjunction with the drawings, and at the same time allows those familiar with the technical field to implement it in detail.
