Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure mainly provides a mechanism device for automatically serving and recovering balls for a table air hockey, in particular to a automatically serving device in which a plurality of balls fall on a game table and the balls enter a table goal and fall into a ball pocket of a serving device through a track, so as to complete the action of automatically circularly serving and recovering the balls. The device is a unique, convenient and interesting creation.

BACKGROUND

With the progress of science and technology and the development of industry, people pay more and more attention to the need to relax mental stress, and in particular, a game machine which can relax stress and achieve sports efficiency is very popular. At present, the popular table hockey game console in the market is well received by consumers, which uses the buoyancy of air to make hockey balls float and move on the table. Thereafter, a ball is pushed by a game handle held by a player to make the ball enter the goal of the opponent, and the goal is scored. However, whenever the ball enters the goal gate after the player scores a goal, the player needs to manually take the ball out and put it back on the table to continue the game, which is really inconvenient and interrupts the game process, thus greatly reducing the interest. In order to solve the existing shortcomings and enhance its unprecedented progress and practicability, the inventor made an in-depth discussion on the above-mentioned shortcomings and actively sought solutions according to the above-mentioned needs, and after a long period of hard research and repeated tests, finally completed this creation.

The main purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a mechanism device for serving and recovering hockey balls on the table. The nylon cross turntable rotates to drive the ball to pass through the limiting bearing and the three-bump hardware, changes the moving direction of the balls, and cooperates with the bearing so that the balls enter the upper ball track. The upper ball track uses the space of the track so that the ball moves upward from left to right due to self-heating, and then reaches the top of the upper ball track hardware through the upper ball track hardware. Thereafter, the ball falls to the ball outlet of the plastic suction track from the left and right sides. The counter of the ball outlet of the plastic suction track is triggered to count, and the ball drops to the acrylic table of the machine. The game player pushes the ball with a ball handle so that the ball enters the ball inlet hardware, and then falls into the ball pocket after passing through the counter and the hardware parts of the lower ball bend, thus completing the circulation of ball ejection and ball collection.

SUMMARY

1. The 05 nylon cross turntable is provided with a plurality of 055 groove tracks, a 053 circular groove, a plurality of 054 screw holes, four 052 square ribs, a 056 straight groove and four 051 arc-shaped grooves. The grooves are 20 mm in depth, at least three balls can be stacked in the grooves, so that a ball is sent out to the upper ball track every time the nylon cross turntable rotates, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4.

2. The 06 three-bump hardware consists of 06A, 06B and 06C, and is designed according to the size specification of the ball. When the 05 nylon cross turntable rotates to drive the 33 balls to pass through the 06 three-bump hardware, the three-bump hardware changes the moving direction of the 33 balls, and cooperates with the 09 bearing and the 08 bearing so that the balls enter the 10 upper ball track from the 035 nylon disc outlet, as shown in FIG. 16 to FIG. 17.

3. The installation position of the 02 ball pocket baseplate is an inclined surface, a 210 baseplate hole into which foreign objects fall is provided at the bottom of the ball pocket baseplate, the hole has an aperture of 30 mm, and foreign objects such as screws, coins and keys fall into the hole, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 11.

4. The 07 straight fixed iron block is a single piece, which is fixed in the middle of the bottom of the cross turntable and functions to stably and firmly fix the 05 nylon cross turntable on the rotating shaft of the motor.

5. The 10 inversion inductor is arranged 47 mm below the center point of the top end of the upper ball hardware track, its position is above the moving track of the ball, once the ball triggers the inductor, it means that the ball may have deviated and moved to the track at this time, at this time, the inversion inductor feeds back a signal to a main board to control the inversion of the ball motor, so as to prevent the ball from choking in the upper ball hardware track while watching the ball, the ball is allowed to move backwards in the fairway for 1 second, and then the ball rotates forwards so that the ball moves to the ball ejection plastic suction track correctly, thus completing the ball ejection action, as shown in FIG. 12 to FIG. 19.

6. The 13 and 16 ball ejection plastic suction track is provided with the 15 left ball ejection counter and the 18 right ball ejection counter at the joint of the 10 upper ball hardware track and the 34 upper ball track fixing hardware. As long as the 33 balls pass through the joint, a feedback signal is sent to a main board controller, thereby completing ball ejection counting, as shown in FIG. 12 to FIG. 19.

7. Either of the left and right sides of the acrylic table is provided with a 20 or 24 ball inlet hardware device, respectively. The bottom of the ball inlet hardware device is provided with three 201 straight notches and 202 square notches for discharging foreign objects such as screws, coins and keys, and there are two counters in the middle position to complete the ball inlet counting function, as shown in FIG. 14 to FIG. 17.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

When the game is started, the 04 motor drives the 07 straight fixed iron block and the 05 nylon cross turntable to rotate counterclockwise. The nylon cross turntable is provided with four 051 arc-shaped grooves. The grooves are 20 mm in depth, and at least three balls can be stacked in the grooves, so that the nylon cross turntable rotates to drive the balls to move. The balls move with the 05 nylon cross turntable to the 06c.06b.06a limit contact of the 09 bearing and the 06 three-bump hardware, so that the ball changes its moving direction from the 035 nylon cross turntable into the 10 upper ball track hardware. At this time, there are a plurality of 055 grooves at the bottom of the 05 nylon cross turntable to avoid the 06 three-bump hardware to complete the ball ejection in a rotating manner, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 6.

The balls enter the 10 upper ball track hardware, and 101 square holes are used to observe the moving track of the 33 balls, as shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 9. Thereafter, the glass bead ball passes through the 10 upper ball track hardware to reach the top of the upper ball track hardware, and then the 33 balls fall from the left and right to the 13 or 16 plastic suction track. The 15 or 18 counter at the ball outlet of the plastic suction track is triggered to count. The glass bead ball reaches the 132, 162 track outlets through the 131, 161 arc direction-changing positions, and the ball falls to the 19 acrylic table of the machine. The game player pushes the ball with the ball handle to make the ball enter the 20 or 24 ball inlet hardware, as shown in FIG. 12, FIG. 13 and FIG. 16. The 33 balls fall into the 20 or 24 ball inlet hardware, then passes through the counter, passes through the lower ball bend hardware and then falls into the 03 ball pocket. The ball is driven by the 05 nylon cross turntable again to achieve circular ball ejection, as shown in FIG. 13 to FIG. 15.
