TWI743808B - Steel ball counter with counterweight block body - Google Patents

Abstract

The present invention related to a steel ball counter with counterweight block body comprising a counter, at least a blocking part and at least a weighting part. The counter has a channel and a sensing counter corresponding to the channel. When the steel balls rolling in the channel and passing the sensing counter, the sensing counter can sense and count the total number of the passing steel balls. Each blocking part is pivoted in the channel, and each weighting part is fixed on the each blocking part. The blocking part will swing upwardly when bursted by the steel balls, then the steel ball can pass through under the blocking part. So the blocking part can slow down the steel balls and guide them passing the sensing counter one by one. Such arrangement can avoid multiple steel balls pass the sensing counter simultaneously and lead to the wrong counting result.

Description

Counterweight structure of the number of beads

The present invention relates to a counterweight structure of a counting bead retaining body, which is a functional part of a machine.

Game machines such as pachinko and other game machines that need to be put in steel balls will be equipped with a counting device to calculate the number of steel balls put in.

But when the player puts too many steel balls at one time, it may happen that multiple steel balls pass through the counting element at the same time, and there is no way to count every steel ball passed, which affects the fairness of the machine.

In view of the above shortcomings, the inventor believes that it is necessary to make corrections, so with many years of experience in related technology and product design and manufacturing, upholding the excellent design concept, researching and creating for the above defects, after continuous efforts, finally Introduced the counterweight structure of the number bead retaining body of the present invention, which corrects the product structure to enhance the excellent efficacy of the product.

The main purpose of the ball counting block weight structure of the present invention is to provide a ball counting device structure that can avoid missing steel balls.

In order to achieve the purpose of the foregoing disclosure, the counterweight structure of the bead retaining body of the present invention includes:

A bead counting device has a shell, the shell is provided with a channel, the side of the channel is provided with a plurality of limit slots, the shell is fixed with an induction counter corresponding to the channel, and the front of the shell is fixed with a box The bead inlet box in which the space communicates with the channel;

A plurality of stoppers, the stopper has a stopper, a pivot is protrudingly formed at the proximal end on both sides of the stopper, and a limit post protrudes from the proximal end on both sides of the stopper, and each stopper is The pivot is pivoted in the passage, and the limit posts of the stopper are all embedded in the limit slot;

A plurality of weighted parts, the weighted part has a weighted body, and each of the weighted bodies is respectively fixed to the stop body of each stopper.

Therefore, when the player puts the steel ball into the ball box, the steel ball will roll into the channel and pass through the induction counter, and the induction counter will calculate the total number of steel balls passing through;

Among them, when the steel ball hits the stopper, the weight of the steel ball will knock off the stopper to make it swing upward, so that the steel ball can pass under the stopper, so that the stopper can play a function of slowing down the speed of the steel ball and ensure that each steel ball It passes through the induction counter one by one in sequence.

The present invention controls the steel balls one by one after passing through the induction counter through the stopper, so that each steel ball can be counted reliably to avoid missing counts, thereby maintaining the fairness of the game machine and protecting the players It is obvious that the present invention is a quite progressive product.

[Please refer to the first to third figures] The present invention relates to a counterweight structure of a bead retaining body, which includes:

A bead counting device (1) has a housing (11), the housing (11) is provided with a channel (12), the side of the channel (12) is provided with a plurality of limit slots (13), the housing (11) An induction counter (14) corresponding to the channel (12) is fixedly provided, and a bead inlet box (15) whose inner space is connected to the channel (12) is fixedly arranged on the front of the housing (11);

A plurality of stoppers (2), the stopper (2) has a stopper (21), and a pivot (22) protrudes from the proximal ends on both sides of the stopper (21). A limit post (23) protrudes from the other end, and each stopper (2) is pivoted in the channel (12) by the pivot (22), and the stopper (2) is restricted. The position posts (23) are all embedded in the limit slot (13);

A plurality of weighted pieces (3), the weighted piece (3) has a weighted body (31), and each weighted body (31) is respectively fixed on the stopper (21) of each stopper (2).

[Please refer to Figures 1 to 3] In the embodiment here, the channel (12) of the bead counting device (1) is set in a multi-segment curved shape, and the channel (12) is pivoted with two stoppers (2) Therefore, two pairs of limit grooves (13) are opened on the side of the channel (12) for embedding the limit posts (23) of the two stoppers (2) respectively.

[Please refer to the first to fourth pictures] The bead counting device (1) is used to install on pachinko and other game machines that require steel balls, so when using it, the user will put the steel balls into the bead box (15) Then, the steel ball will roll into the channel (12) and pass through the induction counter (14), and the induction counter (14) will calculate the total number of steel balls passing through;

The improvement of the present invention is focused on the stopper (2). When the steel ball hits the stopper (2), the weight of the steel ball will knock off the stopper (2) to swing upwards, so that the steel ball can pass through the stopper (2). ) And continue to move forward, and the purpose of this mechanism is to slow down the advance speed of the steel balls, and control the steel balls to pass through the induction counter (14) one by one, so that even when the number of steel balls enters the channel (12) When there are more, it can also prevent multiple steel balls from passing through the induction counter (14) at the same time and missing counts.

[Please refer to the first to third pictures] The weighted part (3) can increase the resistance to prevent the stopper (2) from being too easy to be knocked apart and can not achieve the effect of slowing down the steel ball. The weighted part (3) can be fixed It is fixed to the stopper (2) in different ways, and here, a stopper opening (24) and a weighting body opening (32) are respectively provided for the stopper (21) and the weighted body (31), where The stopper opening (24) has threads, whereby a screw lock (4) can pass through the weighted body opening (32) and lock into the stopper opening (24) to fix the weighted member (3), or The baffle body opening (24) and weight body opening (32) may not be used for screw locking with the screw lock (4), but used as positioning points for other fixing methods such as cementing. In addition, the thickness of the baffle (21) is set to gradually increase from one end to the other, and the pivot (22) is close to the thinner end, so that under the condition of equal weight, this thickness is gradually increased. The increased type can produce greater resistance than the uniform thickness type.

Only the foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and should not be used to limit the scope of the present invention. That is to say, all equal changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the patent application should still fall within the scope of this creation patent.

In summary, when it is known that the present invention is novel and progressive, and that the present invention has not been seen in any publication, it should comply with the provisions of Article 22 of the Patent Law.
