Mahjong machine, tile feeding device thereof, and mahjong tile arranging method

Abstract

The invention discloses a mahjong machine, a tile feeding device of the mahjong machine, and a mahjong tile arranging method. A tile feeding hole of a tile feeding channel of the tile feeding device is provided with a tile absorbing wheel, a tile bearing conveying belt is arranged below a tile outlet of the tile feeding channel, the conveying direction of the tile bearing conveying belt is matchedwith the conveying direction of a tile feeding conveying belt, the thickness of a tile bearing face of the tile bearing conveying belt is smaller than the thickness of at least one mahjong tile of the tile outlet of the tile feeding channel, the tile bearing conveying belt and the tile feeding conveying belt are two conveying belts in independent winding, and the tile bearing conveying belt is intransmission connection with a shuffling large-plate gear through a staggered shaft transmission assembly. According to the technical scheme, four groups of tile pick-up carrying systems of the mahjong machine are independently arranged and are not staggered, a tile storage groove is bent at a large-angle arc shape, a tile-rotation-free device and a stacking and pushing machine head structure areadopted, the height and manufacturing cost of a main machine of the mahjong machine are greatly reduced, and the use experience and comfort are good.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention belongs to the field of mahjong machine manufacturing, and in particular relates to a mahjong machine, a card feeding device and a mahjong card sorting method. 【Background technique】 [0002] With the continuous improvement of living standards, people pay more and more attention to leisure and entertainment life, and the convenient and labor-saving automatic mahjong machine is gradually loved by people. [0003] The patent document whose publication number is CN200966910Y discloses a kind of slope playing device for fully automatic mahjong machine. The sideline of the table is inclined at an angle. There are four arc-shaped card storage slots arranged in the shape of a windmill under the desktop board. The end of each card storage slot is equipped with a card delivery pusher. The pusher passes the card delivery wire rope and the pusher motor. Each card outlet is provided with a supporting door bar, one end of the supporting door bar is...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0011] However, the above-mentioned slope playing mahjong machine in the prior art has not been able to completely overcome the following technical problems so far, though the inventor has repeatedly developed and improved the mahjong machine:

[0012] 1. In the prior art, the card feeding device and the card lifting assembly are arranged on the inside of the card storage slot, and the card lifting assembly in one group of card picking and conveying systems is arranged on the card feeding device in another group of card picking and transporting systems. The inner side, thereby forming the interlaced arrangement between adjacent pick-up card handling systems to extend the length of the card storage slot, but the number of mahjong tiles that can be stored in this way is still limited, especially the large ones.

[0013] 2. Because the adjacent card picking and handling systems are interlaced with each other, the upper and lower stacking between the adjacent card delivery device and the card lifting component is inevitable, which leads to an increase in the height of the mahjong machine

[0014] 3. Due to the staggered arrangement between the adjacent card picking and handling systems, the card lifting component and the card storage slot cannot be stacked up and down and the length of the card storage slot is limited, so the setting position of the card lifting port of the adjacent card picking and handling system is extremely restricted. Large restrictions affect the comfort of the mahjong machine

Take the 85cm square mahjong machine using 48mm mahjong tiles as an example, such as figure 1 As shown, the four rows of mahjong tile walls directly rising from the four-sided card opening 111 on the table top 11 are arranged in a windmill shape, and the distance between the two rows of mahjong tile walls is 35cm, so that the area where the player's left hand side is used to placing kong tiles is very large. Small (that is, the distance between the mahjong tile wall and the table frame is too small) cannot be placed. Players need to move the mahjong tile wall to clear the Kong tile area, which affects the comfort of use

[0015] 4. Due to the staggered arrangement of adjacent card picking and handling systems, the arc of the card storage slot is small (that is, the direction of card entry and card output of the card storage slot is arranged at an acute angle) and the shape is irregular, so the card storage is driven The driving mechanism of the card pushing head in the groove is complex in structure, requires high manufacturing precision, reliability is limited by the structure, and the manufacturing cost and maintenance cost are high.

In the above-mentioned card delivery device, the card bearing section and the delivery section of the card delivery device use the same power, and the load of the delivery motor is large; it is necessary to cooperate with the card transfer device, the card transfer slot and other card transfer devices to realize the card delivery device and the card storage slot. The connection of the transfer card device requires high manufacturing precision and difficult assembly and coordination

Because there is a large uncertainty in the contact position of the first mahjong tile in the stack with the conveyor belt of the tile receiving section during the falling process, it is easy to cause the position of the first mahjong tile (the mahjong tile below) to shift, that is, the stacking The two mahjong tiles are uneven up and down or even stuck when pushing the tiles, and because pushing the mahjong tiles along the direction of vertical conveyor belt conveyance will cause the conveyor belt to deviate, so the mahjong tiles must be sent out from the tile receiving section as little as possible. The force of small mahjong tiles on the conveyor belt along the direction of vertical conveyor belt conveyance, therefore, in the card picking and handling device of the above-mentioned patent document, a turn card device must be used to cooperate with the card bearing section of the card delivery device, and the card transfer device is used to move the tiles. Realize the flushness and small radius rotation and translation of the upper and lower mahjong tiles
