Description

Ball path structure of the float ball machine

The invention relates to a ball path structure of a float ball machine, in particular to a meandering track which is continuously bent and overlapped, and automatically guides the ball to another zigzag track when a zigzag track accommodates the full number of balls.

According to the conventional ball game machine, as shown in FIG. 1 , the method includes: a circular cylinder 11 having a ball take-up tube 12 therein; a ball track 13 having an upper opening 131 and a lower opening 132. The upper opening 131 is sleeved with the ball taking tube 12; a ball path control mechanism 14 includes a box body 141, a guiding slot 15 and a recycling box 16, the box body 141 is swingable and separately provided The ball hole 142 and the ball return hole 143 of the opening 132 should be opened. With the above configuration, a plurality of balls 1 can be placed in the barrel 11 in a "blowing and floating" manner, and one of the balls 1 can be extracted at a time. And the ball control mechanism 14 can block the ball 1 in front of the opening 132 below the ball track 13 for displaying the ball 1 played by the game; repeat this step to reach one or more balls required for the game to be drawn. When the game of the game ends, if the box 141 of the ball control mechanism 14 swings and the ball hole 142 is aligned with the lower opening 132, the ball 1 enters the barrel 11 through the ball hole 142 and can be carried out. a game; if the box 141 of the ball control mechanism 14 swings and the ball return hole 143 is aligned with the lower opening 132, the entire ball 1 can be dropped through the guide groove 15 Recovery tank 16, but may replace the use of a different ball game. Although the above can be used for the purpose of the game, the game will need to extract a large number of balls for one round. For example, a general bingo game has 75 number balls 1 as an example, and it may be necessary to draw the 60th ball. 1 is the end of a round, and the number is drawn during the game. A large number of balls 1 will be stored in the spiral ball track 13 first.

The composition and function of the present invention are described in detail as follows: Referring to Figures 2 to 8, the float ball machine of the present invention is controlled by a computer game program, and the float ball machine can be provided with a circuit board for controlling its components and sensing signals ( The circuit board can transmit signals to the computer game program for calculation and judgment to control the operation of each machine member, and the cylinder 20, the ball plate 23 and the fairway seat 40 can fix a machine table 2 On the countertop 3. In the present invention, the ball-splitting process of a bingo game is taken as an illustrative example. First, the first telescopic cylinder 27 drives the gate 26 to close the goal opening 22, and the telescopic rod 491 of the fourth telescopic cylinder 49 leaves the first a zigzag rail 44, the telescopic rod 481 of the third telescopic cylinder 48 is separated from the engaging rail 47, and the telescopic rod 321 of the second telescopic cylinder 32 drives the displacement plate 33 to advance, so that the plate through hole 312 and the take-up tube 21 are Closing; at this time, an updraft is generated in the cylinder 20 to cause the ball 1 on the disc 23 to float up and disturb (this is a conventional technique, and will not be described here). When the disturbance is for a period of time, the second telescopic cylinder The telescopic rod 321 of the 32 drives the displacement plate 33 to retreat (as shown in FIG. 6), so that the plate through hole 312 and the take-up tube 21 are opened, so that the ball take-up tube 21, the plate through hole 312, The concave arc groove 341 and the through hole 342 are in a communicating path, so that the airflow can enter the flow path of the bottom of the ball taking pipe 21 to the through hole 342 of the concave arc groove 341, and the ball 1 can be inhaled by chance. When the ball 1 passes through the ball take-up tube 21 and the plate through hole 312 to reach the concave arc groove 341, the rising airflow keeps the ball 1 floating and does not fall. The retainer lever 343 to limit the sphere an arc groove 341 is located in the recess without departing from the mistake, the retainer lever 343 to line buffer material made In this case, the ball 1 can be prevented from flowing rapidly in the airflow and being damaged by collision with the hard object; at this time, the two sensing fibers 313 sense the presence of the ball 1 and provide a signal to the circuit board, and the computer game program makes the second telescopic cylinder The telescopic rod 321 of the 32 drives the displacement plate 33 to advance and close the plate through hole 312 and the take-up tube 21 (as shown in FIG. 7), and simultaneously pushes the ball 1 to the engaging track 47, and the ball 1 loses the ascending airflow. And falling into the engaging track 47, the ball 1 enters the first meandering track 44 through the upper opening 441, and the path of the ball 1 has inertia to accelerate through the side channel 46 due to the inclined angle of the engaging track 47. , the action of the ball 1 is preferentially entered into the first zigzag track 44; and when the ball 1 passes through the sensing fiber 471 of the connecting track 47, the sensing fiber 441 senses the ball 1 by making the second telescopic The cylinder 32 drives the displacement plate 33 to reopen the plate through hole 312 and the ball tube 21, and completes the action of extracting the ball 1. Thus, the above-mentioned action program can be cycled and the balls 1 are randomly selected in sequence; Between the balls 1, if the extracted balls 1 are intended to the player The telescopic rod 491 of the fourth telescopic cylinder 49 can be extended from the side into the first meandering rail 44 or the telescopic rod 481 of the third telescopic cylinder 48 can be extended from the side into the engaging rail 47 to stop the ball. 1 travels to be displayed to the player (as shown in FIG. 8), and after the display, the telescopic rod 491 of the fourth telescopic cylinder 49 or the telescopic rod 481 of the third telescopic cylinder 48 is separated from the first meandering rail 44, respectively. Or the engagement track 47 allows the ball 1 to continue to travel into the first meandering track 44 and again exhibits an effect for the player to easily view in the first meandering track 44.

Referring to FIGS. 2 to 5 and FIG. 9 again, when the ball 1 of the first meandering track 44 is filled to the entrance of the side channel 46, the subsequently drawn ball 1 enters the first meandering track 44 at the engaging track 47. At this time, it will be blocked by the previous ball 1 and stopped at the side channel 46, and the ball 1 will collide, or because the ball 1 is stationary on the inclined surface 412, the ball 1 is guided by the inclined surface 412 and falls to the side. The side channel 46 enters the lower second zigzag track 45 (as shown in FIG. 9), and the ball 1 can be successively changed into the second zigzag track 45 for storage and display, thereby achieving the use of the double The fairway accommodates a large number of balls. It also reduces the space occupied by the fairway and makes it easy for players to view.

Finally, please refer to FIGS. 2 to 5 and FIG. 10 again. When the game is played one time, the first telescopic cylinder 27 can drive the gate 26 to open the goal opening 22, so that the numerous balls are opened once. Go to the ball tray 23 of the cylinder 20 to complete the preparation of the next game. Of course, if the computer game program can recognize the number, color, etc. of the ball 1, the connecting track 47 can be equipped with an induction coil (not shown) to interpret the wafer in the ball 1 (the wafer reads the number, The color of the flower is a conventional technique, and will not be described here.) It is also worth mentioning that the static electricity generated by the ball 1 during the airflow blowing can be discharged from the grounding wire 231 after the collision of the ball disk 23. In order to reduce the mutual attraction of each ball 1 due to the generation of static electricity.

The above-mentioned embodiments are merely preferred embodiments for fully illustrating the present creation, and are not intended to limit the features of the present creation. The re-creation of the technical means and creation principle related to the creation is still the creation. The equivalent structure of the creative category.
