For your convenience, the review committee can make a further understanding and understanding of the purpose, technical features and effects of the present invention. The embodiments are combined with the drawings, and the details are as follows:

The present invention is a target control system and can be applied to a shooting game machine. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the target control system 2 includes an induction. The substrate 21, a transport mechanism 23, a plurality of target brackets 25, and a control unit 27, wherein the sensing substrate 21 is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart sensors 211, and the inductors 211 are electrically connected to the control unit 27. Connected, and separated from each other by a predetermined distance, and after being shielded, a masking message is sent to the control unit 27 so that the control unit 27 can know the currently blocked sensor 211. In this embodiment, the predetermined spacing between the inductors 211 is fixed, but in other embodiments of the invention, the predetermined spacing between the inductors 211 can be designed as different game requirements. Not fixed, first stated.

Referring to Figures 2 and 3, the transport mechanism 23 is electrically connected to the control unit 27 and is located below the sensing substrate 21. Here, in particular, in order to avoid the complexity of the drawing, In Figs. 2 and 3, only a broken line is drawn as a connection between the inductor 211, the transport mechanism 23, and the control unit 27. Moreover, the target mechanism bracket 25 is assembled on the transport mechanism 23, and the transport mechanism 23 drives the target brackets 25 at a predetermined speed to perform closed or cyclic orbital motion, so that each target Each of the brackets 25 can pass under the inductors 211, and in the case where each of the target brackets 25 is not hit by a target (e.g., a coin) emitted by the user, each of the target brackets 25 cannot be shielded. The sensors 211 are housed, but in the case where each of the target holders 25 is hit by a fired object emitted by the user, each of the target holders 25 is displaced upward and shields one of the sensors 211, and When the transport mechanism 23 is driven, the hit target bracket 25 will sequentially cover the subsequent sensors 211, so that the sensors 211 can sequentially transmit the mask signal to the control unit 27, and thus, When one sensor 211 is damaged, the adjacent sensor 211 will still be obscured by the hit target bracket 25, so that the control unit 27 can still correctly calculate the game score and greatly improve the fault tolerance of the shooting game machine.

In order to clearly disclose the overall structure of the target holder, in the preferred embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the target holder 25 includes a frame 251, a rod 253, and a target. The plate 255, an elastic member 257 and a shielding piece 259, wherein the frame 251 has a U-shaped longitudinal section, and a hole 2511 is formed in the upper side and the lower side respectively. However, in other embodiments of the present invention, The cross-sectional shape of the frame 251 can be changed to other styles according to the design requirements of the manufacturer. The rod body 253 can pass through the holes 2511 in sequence, and both ends of the rod body 253 are exposed outside the frame 251. Further, the target body 255 is assembled on one side of the rod body 253 adjacent to one end, and is exposed at The shielding piece 259 is assembled at the position of the other end of the frame 251, and one end of the elastic member 257 is hooked to the upper side of the frame 251, and the other end is hooked to the middle of the rod 253. And adjacent to the edge of one of the target plates 255, one end edge of the target plate 255 can abut the frame 251 in the case where each of the target plates 255 is not hit by a fired object emitted by the user. The periphery of the lower hole 2511 (as shown in FIG. 4), and the elastic member 257 is pulled into a tight state, and the shielding piece 259 cannot cover the inductors 211 (as shown in FIG. 3). However, in a case where each of the target plates 255 is hit by a fired object emitted by the user, the target plates 255 are displaced to a position corresponding to the lower hole 2511 of the frame 251. At this time, the elastic member 257 is caused by The restoring force drives the rod body 253 to move upward, so that one end of the target plate 255 is worn. The frame of the bottom hole 2511251 (as shown in FIG. 5), while the shielding plate 259 will be displaced upwardly and wherein concealed under a sensor 211 (as shown in FIG. 3).

Moreover, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, when the transport mechanism 23 drives the target brackets 25 to perform closed or cyclic orbital motion, the control unit 27 may be based on one of the target brackets 25. Referring to the position, the color score or totem corresponding to each target bracket 25 is calculated, and a timing function is activated. When the control unit 27 receives the masking message from each sensor 211, it will accumulate according to the current state. At the time, the color score or totem corresponding to the hit target bracket 25 is calculated, and a corresponding procedure (eg, increase or decrease score) is performed. In the preferred embodiment, the target control system 2 A target calibration sensor 29 is further included, and the transport mechanism 23 is provided with a calibration piece 231. When the calibration piece 231 passes the target calibration sensor 29, the target calibration sensor 29 can transmit a calibration signal to The control unit 27, at this time, the control unit 27 sets the target bracket 25, which is located below the leftmost sensor 211, as the first target, and uses the first target as the reference position. And set sequentially from left to right The order of each target bracket 25 (eg, the second target, the third target, etc.), and the information corresponding to each target bracket 25 is calculated, and in particular, each one The information corresponding to the target holder 25 is stored in the control unit 27 first, and when the calibration sheet 231 passes the target calibration sensor 29, the target holder 25 located below the leftmost sensor 211 Also fixed, the target calibration sensor 29 and the calibration sheet 231 are only for the control unit 27 to be able to accurately calculate the current position of each of the target holders 25. Thus, each time the calibration piece 231 passes the target calibration sensor 29, the control unit 27 recalculates the information corresponding to each target bracket 25 according to the reference position of one of the target brackets 25, and The timing function is restarted to avoid the problem that the control unit 27 has a calculation error under a long period of operation.

In order to clearly reveal the target control system of the present invention, it is possible to determine the target bracket to be hit with a small number of sensors. For example, a game example is shown. Referring to Figures 2 and 3, the target control system 2 is provided with seventeen sensors 211 and twenty-seven target brackets 25, wherein the leftmost sensor 211 (As shown in FIG. 3) is the first sensor 211, and the second sensor 211 to the seventeenth sensor 211 are sequentially turned to the right, and the movement distance of each target bracket 25 is one second every second. The distance between the two sensors 211, firstly, when the calibration sheet 231 passes the target calibration sensor 29, and the control unit 27 receives the calibration message, the label below the current first sensor 211 will be The target bracket 25 is set as the first target, and the second target to the twenty-seventh target are sequentially set from left to right, and a timing function is activated at the same time, 嗣, after five seconds, If the control unit 27 receives the masking message from the sixth sensor 211, it calculates that the target bracket 25 currently under the sixth sensor 211 is the first target, and according to the first number The information corresponding to the target (color score or totem), calculate the corresponding game score and execute the corresponding program (such as: The corresponding game screen appears on the screen. Further, when the first target continues to move and shields the subsequent sensor 211, since the control unit 27 has previously determined that the first target has been hit Therefore, it will not repeat the scoring.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, in the foregoing case, if the sixth sensor 211 is damaged, although the control unit 27 cannot know that the first target has been hit, However, after six seconds, the first target will move and shield the seventh sensor 211. At this time, the seventh sensor 211 transmits a masking signal to the control unit 27, so the control The unit 27 can still determine that the first target has been hit, calculate the corresponding game score and execute the corresponding program. Therefore, after the shooting game machine uses the target control system 2 of the present invention, it can be significantly Improve the fault tolerance of the shooting game machine, and the user can continue the normal game. In addition, the manufacturer does not need to set a sensor on each target as the traditional shooting game machine, effectively reducing the sensor. The number to save the manufacturer's production and maintenance costs.
