2. Product Features and Technical Principles
Air hockey game machines usually have the following characteristics: moderate size, easy to place; moderate weight, strong stability; wide voltage adaptability range, suitable for power standards in different countries and regions. During the game, players start the game by inserting coins or scanning codes, the electromagnet attracts and releases the ball, and then the fan blows air to make the ball slide on the smooth table, simulating the movement effect on the ice. Players use special grips to hit the ball hard, use different strategies to shoot the ball into the opponent’s goal, and try to prevent the opponent from scoring.
In terms of technical principles, air hockey game machines make full use of the knowledge of subjects such as electromagnetism and dynamics, and realize the automatic release, trajectory control and scoring functions of the ball through precise mechanical design and intelligent control system. This not only enhances the fun and challenge of the game, but also ensures the fairness and justice of the game.
