DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
This apparatus apply hit
to the bottom of dice holder to cause the dice to bounce. These dice will continue to bounce randomly inside the dice container (200) until they lost all their kinetic energy. The dice face up number is the draw result for this particular dice.
The isometric view with different angles of this apparatus is as shown in Fig. 2 to Fig. 7.
They are two mechanisms to hit the dice in directly, one by the ball bar (103) and the other by the electric push pull cylinder (104).
The thick circular plate (129) under the dice holder (102) is to withstand countless times of hit by the ball bar (103). The ball bar (103) swing and hit the dice container (200) when user press the hand bar (107) down, while the shaft (173) of the electric push pull cylinder (104) will push up and hit both the ball bar (103) and the dice container (200) when user press the push button switch (108).
The strength to hit the dice container (200) can be controlled by user strength when pressing down the hand bar (107), while for the push button switch (108), it is uncontrollable.
When the user presses the push button switch (108), the electric push pull cylinder (104) will be triggered for one second. In this one second time, the shaft (173) of this electric push pull cylinder (104) will be extended up and hit both the ball bar (103) and dice container (200).
After that this shaft (173) will be retracted back to its original position. The user needs to wait for 5 seconds before another press can be activated. This mean that continue pressing of the push button switch (108) will not cause the shaft (173) of the electric push pull cylinder (104) to push up and hold it position.
For the camera (100), it is used for video recording of the dice draw process, even for users to connect online for live streaming to see the dice draw process and to trigger the electric push pull cylinder (104) remotely.
The type C female socket (112) at the back of the controller (110) is to supply power to the controller (110) and for data exchange.
For the ball bar (103) itself, its pin (165) is located farther away from the ball (128) of the ball bar (103), making the ball (128) side heavier than the rectangular plate (136) side of the ball bar (103) and the ball (128) lay down when idle.
The isometric view at different angles of the apparatus with specific parts is
as shown in Fig. 8 to Fig. 11.
The isometric view at different angles of the apparatus in parts disassembled view is as shown in Fig. 12 to Fig. 20.
The isometric view at different angles of the apparatus, for the moment the push button switch (108) is pressed is as shown in Fig. 21 and Fig. 22.
The isometric view at different angles of the apparatus, for the moment the hand Bar (107) is pressed is as shown in Fig. 23 and Fig. 24.
