Brushless motor system for mechanical reel gaming machine
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11887429B2) discloses a motor system designed for use in mechanical reel gaming machines. The system comprises a rotor with permanent magnets, a reel displaying game symbols, and a stator that, when activated, causes the rotor to rotate, subsequently rotating the reel. The rotor's surface faces the stator, with the magnets mounted on it, while the stator features coils mounted parallel to the rotor's surface. The stator and rotor are magnetically coupled during activation, with the stator positioned between one to five millimeters from the rotor.
Furthermore, the patent includes a mechanical reel gaming machine incorporating the brushless motor system, a memory, controller, and mounting frame. The rotor, in direct contact with the reel, displays symbols for gameplay. The motor system also includes a controller that regulates the stator based on rotor position or stator current. The method for assembling the gaming machine involves coupling the stator to the reel frame, attaching the rotor with permanent magnets, and mounting the reel for symbol display. This innovative system aims to enhance the performance and efficiency of mechanical reel gaming machines, offering a unique and technologically advanced solution for the gaming industry.
