To this end, a target 1 having a through-hole 2 through which the projectile passes is formed, a sensing means 3 installed adjacent to the through-hole to sense that the projectile passes through the through-hole, and installed on the target to provide a through-hole. The display unit 5 which displays the number of passes of the projectile passing through the control unit 4 numerically and rotatably installed below the target, is rotated by the driving of the motor 9, and is located at the highest stage. Screw 8 for freely dropping the premium 7 downward, and the limit switch 10 for stopping the driving of the motor by detecting this as the prize caught by the screw falls.

Description

Point counter device for vending machines {Point counter for premium-dispensing game}

The present invention relates to a vending machine installed in a place or an amusement park where pedestrians are frequently visited to enjoy entertainment and at the same time give prizes according to the scores obtained. More specifically, objects thrown or fired to the target side (bullet, baseball, basketball) It is related to a counter device for a vending machine that determines whether the target has hit the target correctly, counts it automatically, and gives prizes according to the score obtained after the entertainment is completed.

In general, a game that gives a certain prize by firing or throwing an object at an amusement park, etc., by firing an arrow at a target, giving a prize according to the number of hits, or throwing a predetermined number of baseballs at a certain distance into a large hole drilled in a wall, or basket If the thrown basketball is thrown into a basketball or a basketball passing through a hole or a basket, the operator directly visually identifies it and gives a prize according to the number of baseballs or basketballs passed. It is coming true.

However, such entertainment had a problem that it was not easy to get tired after having enjoyed once because of the lack of reality. Of course, because the operator visually identifies the points according to the entertainment and gives prizes, even if there are several targets, there is a dismissal of the enjoyment of several people at the same time.

The present invention was devised to solve such a conventional problem, and electronically detects whether the projectile hit the target accurately and displays it on the display, and after the end of the entertainment, the prize can be automatically withdrawn according to the acquired score. The purpose is to enable the vending machine to operate the game without the operator staying.

According to an aspect of the present invention for achieving the above object, a target formed with a through-hole through which the projectile passes, sensing means for detecting the projectile passes through the through-hole is installed adjacent to the through hole, and installed on the target through-hole A display unit for counting and displaying a projectile passing through the screw; a screw rotatably installed below the target; a screw freely falling down at an upper end of a premium while rotating by driving of a motor; and a premium caught on the screw A score counter device for a vending machine is provided, which is configured as a limit switch which senses this fall and stops driving of the motor.

Hereinafter, with reference to Figures 1 to 3 showing the present invention as an embodiment in more detail as follows.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of FIG. 2. The present invention is a target 1 installed at a predetermined distance from a launcher (not shown). A through-hole 2 through which the projectiles fired are passed is formed, and a detection means 3 such as a photosensor for detecting the projectile passes through the through-hole 2 is installed at a portion adjacent to the through-hole, so that the projectile is As the sensing means detects the passage of the through-hole 2, the number of times is controlled by the controller 4 and displayed on the display unit 5 in numerical value.

The screw 8 which hangs in order to hang the hook 7a fixed to the prize 7 to the mounting plate 6 fixed below the target 1 in turn is rotatably installed, and the motor according to the control of the control part 4 When the drive (9) is rotated to freely drop one prize that was caught on the screw (8) downward, the front end of the screw (8) is detected by the fall of the prize caught on the screw to detect the motor The limit switch 10 which stops the drive of (9) is provided.

The target 1 is further provided with a dip switch 11 for arbitrarily setting the driving time of the motor 9 according to the number of passes of the projectile is connected to the input terminal of the control unit 4.

This is to allow the operator to arbitrarily set the timing of giving the prize in consideration of the installation position of the vending machine and the kind of the prize.

Referring to the operation of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

First, the user moves the firing device up, down, left, and right by using the aiming stick or the joystick while the coin is put into the vending machine, and then aims by pressing the switch of the launching device, the projectile flies to the target 1.

Accordingly, when the projectile is launched through the through hole 2 formed in the target 1, the sensing means 3 installed in the periphery of the through hole detects the passage of the projectile and transmits it to the control unit 4 so that the control unit By counting this, the display unit 5 displays the number according to the passage of the projectile.

Therefore, it is possible to know at a glance whether the projectile hits the target 1 while the user enjoys the entertainment.

However, if the launched projectile does not pass through the through hole 2 formed in the target 1, the sensing means 3 does not detect the projectile, so the control unit 4 does not count it.

When the projectile passes through the through hole 2 by a predetermined number of times set in the control unit 4 by repeatedly launching the projectile to the target 1 side by using the launching device, the control unit 4 determines this and installs the motor installed in the installation plate 6. Since power is applied to (9), the screw (8) fixed to the motor shaft is rotated.

As such, when the screw 8 rotates, the ring 7a on which the premium 7 is suspended is caught on the outer circumferential surface of the screw so that the premium gradually moves to the leading end of the screw, and the premium 7 caught at the top end is removed from the screw. It is detached and falls downward. The limit switch 10 is installed at the tip of the screw to operate the limit switch in the process of removing the premium 7 from the screw 8, so that the power of the motor 9 is automatically Is off.

As described above, the present invention is able to operate a vending machine for entertainment without an operator, because the sensing means accurately determines whether the hit of the projectile launched by the launcher is automatically supplied with a predetermined prize. .

In addition, it is possible to arbitrarily set the time to give a prize in accordance with the type of prizes and the ability of the main user also has the effect of causing interest to the user.
