Infrared ray module group for inducing object position in game machine platform and manufacturing method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to an infrared module for sensing the position of an object in a game machine and a method for manufacturing the same. The infrared module comprises a substrate, a plurality of infrared elements, and a holding part, wherein the substrate is provided with a plurality of welding points; the infrared elements comprise a body part and at least one pin piece which extends downwards from the body part; and the holding part is provided with a plurality of through holes, the same end of the through holes is sleeved on the body part, and the pin pieces are extended out of the through holes to contact the welding points of the substrate so that the pin pieces are welded at the welding points. When the infrared module is manufactured, the plurality of the horizontally arranged through holes of the holding part are used for horizontally sleeving the plurality of the body parts of the infrared elements, and the pin pieces are bent downwards from the body parts and are extended out of the through holes so as to pass through the through holes on the substrate downwards, and finally the pin pieces are welded at the welding points; therefore, the infrared elements are installed fast and stably, and the holding part not only can be used for constraining light rays to come in and out of the body parts of the infrared elements, but also can be used as a fixture for fixing the infrared elements.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an infrared module and a manufacturing method of the infrared module, in particular to an infrared module used in a game machine to sense the position of an object and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] In the large-scale game consoles, more and more players interact with the content of the game through vigorous body movements to generate fun, such as playing hamsters, shooting basketball, etc., which are well received and favored by gamers. [0003] The traditional whack-a-mole game is to hit the physical "gopher" with a mallet. Today, due to the development of electronic technology, the induction of electronic equipment can replace the mechanical interaction. Some whack-a-mole game machines have been able to use infrared rays The module senses the position of the mallet in the sensing surface. The bottom of the sensing surface corresponds to a knock-resistant screen, and the target image will be di...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, when the conventional infrared modules are assembled, a single infrared LED emitting element or a single infrared sensing element is used to set them up respectively. These elements still need to be soldered to the substrate eventually, and the welding of the individual LEDs will cause problems. It is difficult to align the infrared LED emitting elements and infrared sensing elements of the same group with each other. Therefore, the prior art has the defect that the sensing accuracy of the infrared module is poor.

[0006] It can be seen that the above-mentioned existing infrared module for sensing the position of objects in the game machine and its manufacturing method obviously still have inconveniences and defects in terms of product structure, manufacturing method and use, and need to be further improved urgently.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the relevant manufacturers have tried their best to find a solution, but no suitable design has been developed for a long time, and there is no suitable structure and method for general products and methods to solve the above-mentioned problems. This is obviously a problem that relevant industry players are eager to solve
