Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6, the arcade machine provided by the present disclosure will now be exemplarily described.

The arcade machine may include a support bracket 10, a gaming table 20 and a control unit 30. The gaming table 20 can be detachably connected to the support bracket 10.

The control unit 30 may include a control circuit board (not shown), a joystick 31, control buttons 32 and a connection interface (not shown) that are electrically connected to the control circuit board. The control circuit board, the joystick 31, and the control buttons 32 may be arranged in or on the gaming table 20. The connection interface may include a video interface for connecting to the display screen 40 and an interactive interface for connecting to a computer or a game machine. After the video interface is connected to the display screen 40 and the interactive interface is connected to the computer or the game machine, the operator can start the game program. Then, the content of the game may be displayed on the display screen 40, and the operator plays the game by manipulating the joystick 31 and/or the control buttons 32.

In some embodiments, the connection interface can be an interface such as VGA, DVI, HDMI, or DP, as long as it can realize the transmission of video signals.

In some embodiments, the video interface can be connected to the display screen 40. The display screen 40 can be a computer monitor, a TV screen, an LED display screen or an LCD display screen, etc., as long as it can receive image information and display the image information on the screen. The interactive interface is connected to the computer or the game machine, so that the control unit 30 can be connected to the computer or the game machine to perform game control operations. In other words, the arcade machine provided in the embodiment can be connected to and compatible with a computer and a variety of game machines, so as to provide more choices and experiences of game modes. In addition, in some embodiment, the arcade machine can be connected to an existing display screen and an existing game machine/computer through the setting of the connection interface (i.e., the video interface and the interactive interface, respectively). In other words, the arcade machine can be sold separately without the need to be equipped with the display screen 40 and the game machine/computer, thereby reducing the structure of the arcade machine, reducing the packaging size, and reducing the transportation cost.

In some embodiments, in each structure of the control unit 30, the control circuit board, the joystick 31 and the operation controls may all be provided on the gaming table 20, and the connection interface may be provided on the gaming table 20 or on the support bracket 10. When the video interface and/or the interactive interface are provided in the support bracket 10, the video interface and/or the interactive interface are electrically connected with the control circuit board through wires.

In some embodiments, the control unit 30 can be integrally fixed on the gaming table 20. Combined with the detachable connection design of the gaming table 20 and the support bracket 10, the arcade machine can be split into two separate packages for transportation and handling during transportation. Accordingly, the difficulty of handling and transportation costs can be effectively reduced compared to related art systems.

In some embodiments, the main structure (the control circuit board, the joystick 31 and the control buttons 32) of the control unit 30 can be arranged on the gaming table 20, and part of the structure (e.g., the connection interface) can be fixed on the support bracket 10, and this part of the structure (e.g., the connection interface) fixed on the support bracket 10 may be connected to the main structure by wires. In some embodiments, the connection can be a detachable connection. In the case of detachable connection of wires, combined with the detachable connection design of the gaming table 20 and support bracket 10, the arcade machine can be split into two separate packages for transportation and handling during transportation, thereby effectively reducing the difficulty of handling and reducing transportation costs. In the case where the wires are not detachable, the gaming table 20 and the support bracket 10 can be physically connected by wires. After the gaming table 20 is removed from the support bracket 10, the position of the gaming table 20 can be adjusted within the allowable range of the wire length. For example, the gaming table 20 can be placed in the storage space between the rods of the support bracket 10, thereby effectively reducing the packaging size of the arcade machine, and reducing the difficulty of handling and the transportation costs.

From the foregoing, the arcade machine provided by various embodiments can be connected to and compatible with the computer and various game machines, so as to provide more choices and experiences of game modes. This improves the compatibility of the arcade machine. The size of the arcade cabinet is also effectively reduced due to the detachable design of the gaming table 20 from the support bracket 10. The difficulty of handling is thereby reduced and the transportation costs are reduced.

In the structure shown in FIG. 1, the gaming table 20 may be suitable for single-person operation, and correspondingly, there may be one set of a joystick 31 and control buttons 32. In the structure shown in FIG. 6, the gaming table may be suitable for two-person operation, and correspondingly, there may be two sets of joysticks 31 and control buttons 32.

In another embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the support bracket 10 may include a main bracket 11 and a connection bracket 12 connecting the main bracket 11. The gaming table 20 may be placed on the main bracket 11 and can be engaged with the connection bracket 12. The connection bracket 12 may be provided with a supporting surface 101 on which the display is placed.

Referring to FIG. 5, an engagement portion 1221 is protruding from the surface (e.g., a front surface) of the connection bracket 12 and is facing the gaming table 20. The gaming table 20 may be provided with a corresponding slot at the position of the engagement portion 1221. When the gaming table 20 is connected to the support bracket 10, the engagement portion 1221 can be inserted into the slot to limit the movement of the gaming table 20. In other embodiments, the engagement portion 1221 can also be provided on the gaming table 20 and the slot can be provided in connection bracket 12. In some embodiments, the engagement portion 1221 (or, alternatively, the slot) is located on an upper end of the connection bracket 12, and the slot (or, alternatively, the engagement portion 1221) is located on the upper end of the gaming table 20.

In some embodiments, the gaming table 20 may be supported by the main bracket 11. The connection bracket 12 can be fixed on the upper side of the main bracket 11 and can restrict the movement of the gaming table 20 by being engaged with the gaming table 20. In some embodiments, the connection bracket 12 and the gaming table 20 are located on the same horizontal plane (e.g., both are placed on the upper surface of the main bracket 11), and the slot is provided on the side of the gaming table 20. Using the gaming table 20 on the front side of the connection bracket 12 as a reference direction when assembling, the gaming table 20 may be placed on the main bracket 11 and then moved backwards so that the engagement portion 1221 is inserted into the slot to complete the engagement between the operation table 20 and the connection bracket 12. Compared with arranging the connection position of the slot and the engagement portion 1221 on the lower side of the gaming table 20, the alignment of the slot and the engagement portion 1221 is not obstructed by the gaming table 20 during the operation of the gaming table 20 and the connection bracket 12 being engaged together, which improves the convenience of assembly.

In some embodiments, the surface (upper surface) of the connection bracket 12 facing away from the main bracket 11 is the supporting surface 101 for supporting the display. It should be noted that the supporting surface 101 is used for supporting the display, and it is only required to have the ability to support the display, and it is not required that the display be placed on the connection bracket 12 in actual use. In some uses, the display can be fixed by other support structures, or fixed on the connection bracket 12 by the C-clamp 50. The connection bracket 12 can be used as the direct or indirect support structure of the display. When the control buttons 32 or other structures on the gaming table 20 are repaired or otherwise serviced, the gaming table 20 can be removed from the support bracket 10 without affecting the fixed support of the display. In addition, the connection bracket 12 can be fixedly connected to the main bracket 11 (e.g., a welding connection can be used), which can improve the stability of the display compared to placing the display on the gaming table 20.

In some embodiments, the gaming table 20 and the main bracket 11 can be detachably connected by fasteners. The main bracket 11 is provided with an assembly hole. After the gaming table 20 is placed on the main bracket 11 and engaged with the connection bracket 12, the fastener passes through the assembly hole and is screwed with the gaming table 20 to achieve the detachable connection between the gaming table 20 and the main bracket 11. In some embodiments, the fasteners can be screws.

In another embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to FIG. 5, the connection bracket 12 may include a carrier 121 and support members 122 connecting both ends of the carrier 121. A surface of the carrier 121 facing away from the main bracket 11 is the supporting surface 101 for support the display, a side of the support member 122 facing away from the carrier 121 is connected to the main bracket 11, and a side of the support member 122 facing the gaming table 20 is protruding with the engagement portion 1221 that is engaged with the gaming table 20.

In order to improve the aesthetic effect of the structure, the upper surface of the carrier 121 may be flush (or substantially flush) with the upper surface of the gaming table 20. Since the gaming table 20 has a certain thickness, the connection bracket 12 conforms to the shape of the support bracket 10 and the carrier 121, which can reduce the material consumption compared with a whole plate (e.g., a thick plate or block).

The engagement portion 1221 is provided on the support member 122 to ensure the structural integrity of the carrier 121, simplify the design, and improve the aesthetic effect. In some embodiments, the engagement portion 1221 is close to the upper end side of the support member 122. In other embodiments, the engagement portion 1221 can also be arranged in the middle of the support member 122, as long as the gaming table 20 is engaged.

In some embodiments, the support members 122 and the carrier 121 are sheet metal parts, which may be formed by stamping metal plates such as stainless steel and cold-rolled sheets. The support member 122 and the carrier 121 are designed as sheet metal parts, which can reduce the structural weight while ensuring the structural strength, so as to reduce the production costs and transportation costs.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIG. 4, the carrier 121 includes a carrier plate and a surrounding edge connected to the periphery of the carrier plate. The carrier plate and the surrounding edge are enclosed to form an accommodating cavity, and the accommodating cavity is configured with a filling plate (not shown). The surface of the filling plate facing away from the carrier plate is flush (or substantially flush) with the side of the periphery facing away from the carrier 121.

In some embodiments, the carrier 121 is a sheet metal part, the periphery of the metal plate part is punched and bent to form a surrounding edge, and the inner side of the bending line is the carrier plate. The surrounding edge is enclosed to form the accommodating cavity. In the illustrated embodiment, the filling plate is arranged in the accommodating cavity, and the thickness of the filling plate is equal (or substantially equal) to the height of the accommodating cavity such that the lower surface of the filling plate is flush (or substantially flush) with the lower edge of the surrounding edge. Such arrangement enables the carrier 121 to serve as the clamping position of the C-clamp 50 at the position of the filling plate (e.g., the upper surface of the carrier and the lower surface of the filling plate are the clamping surfaces of the C-clamp 50). The display is fixed on the carrier 121 through the C-clamp 50.

In some embodiments, the filling plate is a PVC plate, and those skilled in the art can also select a wooden plate, a composite plate, etc. as the filling plate, which is not limited here.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIGS. 1 and 4, the gaming table 20 is provided with a placing area 201 and a gaming area 202. The gaming area 202 is located on the side of the placing area 201 away from the connection bracket 12 (e.g., the placing area 201 is between the connection bracket 12 and the gaming area 202). The placing area 201 is used for placing a keyboard. The joystick 31 and the control buttons 32 are located on the gaming area 202.

For ease of operation, the gaming area 202 where the joystick 31 and the control buttons 32 are located is close (proximate) to the user, and the display screen 40 is placed at the placement position of the connection bracket 12 away from the user to improve comfort. Positioning the placing area 201 for placing a keyboard between the gaming area 202 and the supporting surface 101 can make full use of the space of the gaming table 20, and the practicability of the arcade machine is effectively improved.
