Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of entertainment equipment, in particular to a push-card-free mahjong machine. Background Art

[0002] Mahjong, a four-player domino game, is very interesting, entertaining and educational, so it is very popular and has a great influence. There is a step of stacking cards when playing mahjong. After shuffling the cards, each player stacks a certain number of cards according to local rules. Two cards stacked up and down form a pile. Each player places the corresponding number of piles and stacks them into a wall in front of his door. The four-player wall is connected to the left and right to form a square. Due to the limitation of the venue and in order to obtain more personal activity space, people often tilt the four-player wall to form a windmill-like structure.

[0003] Mahjong machines are becoming more and more popular among the general public because of their advantages of helping players save time and effort and high entertainment. However, when the automatic mahjong machines of the prior art deliver the shuffled cards to the table, the distance between the four card walls is too large, and the player still needs to push the cards to make the four card walls closer before starting a new game. Especially when facing new players, if the player accidentally pushes the cards and makes the card wall fall over, it will inevitably affect the player's interest, reduce the playability, and even need to reshuffle the cards, wasting time.

[0004] The conveying mechanism and the stacking mechanism of the existing mahjong machine are connected. The stacking mechanism is located at one end of the card-carrying track. The mahjong tiles need to be transported to the stacking mechanism at the end through the conveying mechanism, which results in that the overall length of the mechanism is necessarily greater than the length of a row of mahjong tiles, and the structure is complicated. Directly applying it to a push-free mahjong machine will result in a significant increase in the size of the mahjong machine, making the realization of a push-free mahjong machine less likely. Even if the action mechanism is improved to adapt to the push-free structure, the card suction wheel of the mahjong machine needs to be located above the shuffling plate to transport the tiles based on magnetic suction, which limits the location of the conveying mechanism, thereby resulting in a large space occupation and making the designed mahjong machine too large.

[0017] The integrated module of the push-free mahjong machine is an integrated structure. Compared with the existing split structure, it makes full use of the cooperative relationship between each other to realize the integrated design, thereby realizing various actions and reducing a large number of redundant structures. The integrated module is used for fixed installation in the mahjong machine. It has a compact structure, simplifies assembly and greatly reduces space occupancy, thereby reducing the cost of materials, assembly and other costs. The integrated module of the push-free mahjong machine is used to transport the mahjong cards on the shuffling mechanism to the adjacent integrated module, and the integrated module transports the received mahjong cards to the stacking card of the other integrated module connected to the first end of the integrated module. Mechanism, it can be understood that the integrated module is respectively provided with four sides in the mahjong machine and is perpendicular to each other in sequence. The first end of the integrated module is connected to the adjacent integrated module, and the connection position is located at the mahjong tile receiving position of the adjacent integrated module, and then the integrated module takes the tiles and transports them to the stacking mechanism of the adjacent integrated module. The four-sided integrated module combination constitutes a windmill-like structure, and the four-sided tile wall finally raised is also a windmill-like structure. At the same time, the integrated module is tilted relative to the edge of the table body, so the output four-sided tile wall is also tilted relative to the edge of the table body. Based on the above structure, the tile wall arrangement effect without pushing tiles can be finally achieved; the tilted arrangement The design method makes full use of the internal space of the table body, so that the entire integrated module and the card wall output to the surface of the table body are moved forward to the center of the table body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 29, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a push-free mahjong machine, comprising a table body, a shuffling mechanism 6 arranged in the table body, and a control module; the mahjong machine also includes integrated modules arranged in a square in the table body, the integrated modules are tilted relative to the edge of the table body, adjacent integrated modules are perpendicular to each other, and the first end of one integrated module is perpendicular to the first end and the second end of the adjacent integrated module, a card receiving track 7 is integrated on the integrated module, and the integrated module is integrated with a conveying mechanism 3, a stacking mechanism 2, a card receiving track 7, a card dividing mechanism 1, a card pushing mechanism 5, and a card raising mechanism 4; the integrated module is used to convey the mahjong cards on the shuffling mechanism 6 of the mahjong machine to the adjacent integrated module, the integrated module is used to receive the mahjong cards 10 conveyed by the adjacent integrated module and stack the cards to form a pile, and is also used to divide the pile to the card receiving track 7 to form a card wall; the integrated module is also used to move the card wall on the card receiving track to the upper surface of the table body; the conveying mechanism 3 is arranged at the first end of the integrated module, and is used to convey the shuffling mechanism 6 The mahjong tiles 10 are transported to the stacking mechanism 2 of the integrated module adjacent to the first end of the integrated module; the stacking mechanism 2 includes a card holder 21 arranged between the first end and the second end of the card holder track 7, and the arrangement position of the card holder 21 matches the connection position of the two adjacent integrated modules; the card holder 21 is used to stack the mahjong tiles 10 transported to the stacking mechanism 2 and then transport them to the card separation mechanism 1; the card separation mechanism 1 is used to stack the mahjong tiles 10 transported to the stacking mechanism 2 to the first end of the card holder track 7 or to the card holder track 7 The second end drives the mahjong tiles 10 stacked on the card receiving seat 21 to the card receiving track 7; the card pushing mechanism 5 is used to push the rows of mahjong tiles 10 on the card receiving track 7 to the card lifting mechanism 4; the card lifting mechanism 4 includes a card lifting plate 41 parallel to the card receiving track 7, the card lifting plate 41 is used to receive the rows of mahjong tiles 10 pushed by the card pushing mechanism 5 to the card lifting mechanism 4, and the card lifting mechanism 4 is used to control the lifting and lowering of the card lifting plate 41 and thereby lift the mahjong tiles 10 on the card lifting plate 41 to the surface of the table body; the control module is used to respectively control the actions of the shuffling mechanism 6, the conveying mechanism 3, the stacking mechanism 2, the dividing mechanism 1, the card pushing mechanism 5 and the card lifting mechanism 4.

[0024] The integrated module of the present push-free mahjong machine is an integrated structure. Compared with the existing split structure, it makes full use of the cooperative relationship between each other to realize the integrated design, thereby realizing various actions and reducing a large number of redundant structures. The integrated module is used for fixed installation in the mahjong machine. By integrally arranging the stacking mechanism 2, the dividing mechanism 1, the conveying mechanism 3, the card raising mechanism 4 and the card pushing mechanism 5 in the integrated module, the structure is compact, the assembly is simplified, and the space occupation is greatly reduced, thereby reducing the cost of materials, assembly and the like; the conveying mechanism 3 of the present push-free mahjong machine is arranged in the integrated module The first end of the block is located below the card receiving track 7. The two are arranged in layers to shorten the setting length of the integrated module. The conveying mechanism 3 conveys the received mahjong tiles 10 to the stacking mechanism 2 of the other integrated module connected to the first end of the integrated module. It can be understood that the integrated module is respectively provided with four sides in the mahjong machine and is vertically connected in pairs. The first end of the integrated module is connected to the adjacent integrated module, and the connection position is at the card receiving seat 21 position of the stacking mechanism 2 of the adjacent integrated module, and then the conveying module takes the tiles and conveys them to the stacking mechanism 2 of the adjacent integrated module. The four-side integrated module combination structure The structure is similar to a windmill, and the square card wall that is finally raised is also similar to a windmill structure. At the same time, the integrated module is tilted relative to the edge of the table, and the square card wall is tilted relative to the edge of the table. Based on the above structure, the effect of no pushing cards can be achieved; this tilted design method makes full use of the internal space of the table, so that the entire integrated module and the card wall output to the surface of the table are moved forward to the center of the table. At the same time, based on the tilted design, it is also ensured that the integrated module has sufficient structural length and sufficient structural layout space, so that the functions of conveying, stacking, dividing, pushing and raising cards can be coordinated and integrated into each other. to each integrated module; the conveying mechanism 3 and the stacking mechanism 2 of the existing mahjong machine are arranged in one shell and are arranged as one body, and the mahjong tiles 10 need to be transported to the stacking mechanism 2 at the end by the conveying mechanism 3, resulting in its overall length being necessarily greater than the length of a row of mahjong tiles 10, and the structure is complicated. The present integrated module conveys the mahjong tiles 10 grabbed by the conveying mechanism 3 to the stacking mechanism 2 of the adjacent integrated module, solving the problem that the two shells in the push-free mahjong machine are easily interfered with; and the connection structure does not need to set a complex action mechanism at both ends of the card bearing track 7, so that the overall length of the integrated module can be close to the card bearing track 7, thereby significantly shortening the length of the action mechanism shell of the existing mahjong machine, thereby streamlining the structure, achieving high space utilization, and compact structure. Based on the present integrated module structure, the integrated module can be arranged in the mahjong machine at an inclined angle without increasing the size of the mahjong machine, so as to obtain a push-free card wall arrangement, solving the problem that the existing push-free mahjong machine is too large in size;The card-splitting mechanism 1 of the integrated module can perform two-way card-splitting, and then can selectively push the stacked mahjong tiles 10 on the card-receiving seat 21 to the card-receiving track 7 on either side of the card-entry port 22 based on the above-mentioned connection structure. The total length of the card-receiving track 7 combined with the card-entry port 22 can be adapted to the length of the card wall. Based on the aforementioned structure of the conveying mechanism 3 and the two-way card-splitting structure, the length of the integrated module can be simplified; after the mahjong tiles 10 with sufficient piles on the card-receiving track 7 are separated, the card-pushing mechanism 5 pushes the stacked card wall in rows to the card-lifting plate 41, and controls the card-lifting plate 41 to rise so that it is transported to the tabletop of the mahjong machine. ;

[0025] It can be understood that the above actions are completed by controlling each mechanism to work separately through the control module. The control module can be a main control board in the prior art, etc. Its implementation method is the prior art and will not be elaborated in detail in this embodiment.

[0026] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 3 includes a card suction wheel 31 located above the shuffling plate 61 of the mahjong machine and a card outlet 32 ​​located at the first end of the integrated module. The card suction wheel 31 is used to absorb the mahjong tiles 10 on the shuffling plate 61 with the back side facing upward and located below the card suction wheel 31, and flip them to the top of the card suction wheel 31 and convey them to the card outlet 32 ​​via the conveyor belt 33; when the mahjong tiles 10 are in disorder and sorted on the shuffling plate 61, the mahjong tiles 10 are adjusted to face their back side upward and can pass under the card suction wheel 31 as the shuffling plate 61 moves. The back side of the mahjong tiles 10 used in the mahjong machine has magnetic material. Based on this, the card suction wheel 31 can absorb the mahjong tiles 10 and pass through the card suction wheel 31. The card suction wheel 31 is also used to drive the action of the conveyor belt 33, and then the mahjong tiles 10 on the conveyor belt 33 are transported to the card outlet 32 ​​at the first end of the integrated module, so as to transport the mahjong tiles 10 to another integrated module adjacent to the first end of the current integrated module; because the card suction wheel 31 must be located above the shuffling plate 61, the structure of the conventional mahjong machine cannot be directly applied to the push-free mahjong machine. Based on the setting mode of the conveying mechanism 3 and the connection structure between the integrated modules, the structural interference problem and the high space occupancy rate of the existing conveying mechanism 3 in the push-free mahjong machine are solved. It should be noted that the conveyor belt 33 is located below the card bearing track 7, and the conveying mechanism 3, the card bearing track 7 and even the shuffling plate 61 are distributed up and down in sequence, with a simple and compact structure and high space utilization.

[0027] Furthermore, the stacking mechanism 2 includes a card entry 22 connected to the card exit 32 of the adjacent integrated module, and the card receiving seat 21 is used to move up and down in the card entry 22 and receive the mahjong tiles 10 output from the card exit 32 to the card entry 22. The first end of the integrated module is used to be vertically connected with another integrated module so that the card outlet 32 ​​of the integrated module is connected with the card inlet 22 of the adjacent integrated module, that is, the mahjong tiles 10 on the conveyor belt 33 are transported to the card outlet 32 ​​and then output to the card inlet 22 of the adjacent integrated module; specifically, the stacking mechanism 2 includes a card receiving seat 21, which is used to move up and down in the card inlet 22 and receive the mahjong tiles 10 output from the card outlet 32 ​​to the card inlet 22; the integrated module is provided with a flip wheel 34 located at the card inlet 22 or at the card outlet 32, and the flip wheel 34 is used to flip the front-facing mahjong tiles 10 output from the card outlet 32 ​​to the card inlet 22 to the back-facing when passing through the flip wheel 34; when the back-facing mahjong tiles 10 are adsorbed and flipped by the card suction wheel 31 to the conveyor belt 33 for transportation, the mahjong tiles 10 are changed to face the front, and the mahjong tiles 10 are pushed by the conveyor belt 33 to flip again when the card outlet 32 ​​passes through the flip wheel 34 to change to face the back;

[0028] It can be understood that the integrated module is provided with an arc-shaped guiding structure 35, which is used to guide the mahjong tiles 10 on the shuffling mechanism 6 of the mahjong machine to the bottom of the card suction wheel 31, and to guide the mahjong tiles 10 with mismatched postures out of the conveying mechanism 3. In actual applications, after the four integrated modules are installed and fixed, the arc-shaped guiding structures 35 of each integrated module are connected in sequence to form a circle that matches the size of the shuffling plate 61, thereby ensuring that the conveying mechanism 3 grabs and conveys the mahjong tiles 10 on the shuffling plate 61. When the shuffling plate 61 rotates to shuffle the cards, because the middle part of the shuffling plate 61 is high and the surrounding parts are low, the mahjong tiles 10 are thrown to the surroundings by the centrifugal force and rotate with the shuffling plate, and can move along the arc-shaped guiding structure and then pass under the card suction wheel 31.

[0029] In this embodiment, the transmission part of the card lifting mechanism 4 and the transmission part of the card pushing mechanism 5 are integrated and arranged in the middle of the integrated module near the edge of the mahjong machine, making full use of the space between the inclined integrated module and the edge of the table body;

[0030] In this embodiment, the transmission part of the card stacking mechanism 2 and the transmission part of the card dividing mechanism 1 are integrated at the second end of the integrated module and are located below the card receiving track; the card entry port 22 is arranged on one side of the transmission part of the card stacking mechanism and is between the first end and the second end of the integrated module, that is, the card receiving seat 21 arranged in the card entry port 22 is connected to the transmission part of the card stacking mechanism 2. When it is applied to a mahjong machine, the first end of the integrated module is connected between the first end and the second end of the adjacent integrated module, and the four-sided integrated module constitutes a structure similar to a windmill. The integrated module is arranged in the mahjong machine at a certain angle, and the four card walls finally raised to the table are similar to a windmill structure, with a small distance between each other, and there is no need to push the cards again, which is more convenient to use.

[0031] In this embodiment, the card splitting mechanism 1 includes a card splitting drive device, a card splitting transmission assembly and a card splitting plate 12. The card splitting drive device drives the card splitting transmission assembly to drive the card splitting head to move from the first side of the card input port 22 to the second side or from the second side of the card input port 22 to the first side.

[0032] It can be understood that when a stack of mahjong tiles 10 is pushed into the first end of the card track 7 and then another stack of mahjong tiles 10 is pushed in, the current mahjong tile 10 enters the card track 7 and pushes the mahjong tile 10 on the same side to move toward the first end of the card track 7, and the same applies to the second end.

[0033] Furthermore, the card-distributing rotating member 11 is protruded toward the end surface of one side of the slider to form a card-distributing slide bar 111; the card-distributing slide bar 13 is provided with a card-distributing chute 131 for cooperating with the card-distributing slide bar 111, and the length direction of the card-distributing chute 131 is perpendicular or inclined relative to the card-carrying track 7, and the vertical spacing at both ends of the card-distributing chute 131 is greater than or equal to the longitudinal stroke of the card-distributing slide bar 111, and no interference will occur; in this embodiment, the card-distributing chute 131 is opened perpendicular to the direction of the card-carrying track 7, and when the card-distributing rotating member 11 rotates, the horizontal relative distance and the vertical relative distance between the card-distributing slide bar 111 and the axis of the card-distributing rotating member 11 are changed; at this time, the card-distributing slide bar 111 moves in the vertical direction in the card-distributing chute 131, driving the card-distributing slide bar 13 to move horizontally along the direction of its slide hole, thereby controlling the movement of the card-distributing plate 12; refer to the attached , when the card-dividing slide bar 111 is located at the farthest end in the horizontal direction toward the first end of the card-receiving track 7, the card-dividing plate 12 is located at the first side of the card-entry port 22, and after driving the card-dividing rotating member 11 to rotate forward or reverse 180°, the card-dividing slide bar 111 is located at the farthest end in the horizontal direction toward the second end of the card-receiving track 7, and the card-dividing plate 12 moves to the second side of the card-entry port 22. During this action, the card-dividing plate 12 pushes the mahjong tiles 10 stacked at the card-entry port 22 toward the second end of the card-receiving track 7 to the card-receiving track 7; it should be noted that, because the vertical spacing between the two ends of the card-dividing slide groove 131 is greater than or equal to the longitudinal stroke of the card-dividing slide bar 111, when the card-dividing plate 12 is located on either side, controlling the card-dividing rotating member 11 to rotate forward 180° or reverse 180° can make it rotate half a circle and thus drive the card-dividing plate 12 to move to the other side.

[0034] Furthermore, the stacking mechanism 2 includes a card receiving seat 21, a card stacking driving device and a card stacking transmission assembly. The card receiving seat 21 is used to receive the mahjong tiles 10 conveyed to the stacking mechanism 2. The card stacking driving device is used to drive the card stacking transmission assembly to drive the card receiving seat 21 to move up and down. The card receiving seat 21 is used to control the height by lifting and lowering so as to receive the mahjong tiles 10 for multiple times for stacking and rise to the same height as the card receiving track 7. It should be noted that the height of the conveying device of the mahjong tiles 10 is fixed. After the card receiving seat 21 lowers the height to receive a mahjong tile 10, it lowers the height again to receive another mahjong tile 10 to achieve the stacking and stacking of two mahjong tiles 10, and then controls the card receiving seat 21 to rise to the same height as the card receiving track 7, and then the card separating mechanism 1 separates the tiles;

[0035] Furthermore, the stacking card transmission assembly includes a stacking card rotating member 23, a stacking card rocker arm 24, and a stacking card slider 25 connected to the card receiving seat 21; the first end of the stacking card rocker arm 24 is hinged and fixed, the second end of the stacking card rocker arm 24 protrudes toward one side of the stacking card slider 25 to form a rocker arm slide bar 242, and the stacking card slider 25 is provided with a stacking card slide groove 251 for cooperating with the rocker arm slide bar 242; the end surface of the stacking card rotating member 23 facing the slide bar side protrudes to form a stacking card slide bar 231, and the middle of the stacking card rocker arm 24 The stacking driving device is used to drive the stacking rotating member 23 to rotate, and the stacking sliding rod 231 rotates with the stacking rotating member 23 to drive the stacking rocker arm 24 to swing, and the swing of the rocker arm drives the stacking sliding block 25 to move up and down. It can be understood that a sliding hole is provided on the stacking sliding block 25 in a direction perpendicular to the card bearing track 7, and a sliding shaft is passed through the sliding hole and fixedly arranged, so that the stacking sliding block 25 can be restricted from sliding along the sliding shaft;

[0036] Specific working principle: when the stacking card rotating member 23 rotates to the stacking card slide 231 is located at its upper top position, the length direction of the stacking card rocker 24 tends to be horizontal, the card receiving seat 21 is located at the highest position (i.e., parallel to the card receiving track 7), and the stacking card slide 231 is located in the middle position of the rocker slide slot 241; at this time, by driving the stacking card rotating member 23 to rotate 90° forward or 90° reverse, the vertical relative position of the stacking card slide 231 is reduced, thereby driving the stacking card rocker 24 to swing downward, thereby lowering the vertical position of the rocker slide 242 and changing the horizontal position. At this time, the rocker slide 242 moves horizontally in the stacking card slide slot 251 and drives the stacking card slide 25 to descend, and the card receiving seat 21 descends by a distance of about the thickness of a mahjong tile 10; the mahjong machine conveys a mahjong tile 10 to the card receiving seat 21, and then drives the stacking card rotating member 23 along the previous rotation direction Continue to rotate 90°, the stacking slide bar 231 moves to the lowest position, that is, the lowest vertical position, driving the stacking rocker arm 24 to swing down and then driving the card receiving seat 21 to drop again by a distance of about the thickness of a mahjong tile 10, and then the mahjong machine can convey another mahjong tile 10 to the card receiving seat 21 to be stacked on the previous mahjong tile 10 to achieve stacking, and then drive the stacking rotating member 23 to rotate 180° forward or 180° reverse at the current lowest position to make the stacking slide bar 231 rotate to the uppermost position, and based on the above-mentioned transmission principle, the card receiving seat 21 is raised to be parallel to the card receiving track 7. The rocker arm slot 241 is opened along the length extension direction of the stacking rocker arm 24, and its width dimension has an arc change, so that when the stacking slide bar 231 is in the middle of the rocker arm slot 241, the rocker arm slide bar 242 is located at the highest position, and when the stacking slide bar 231 is at the two ends of the rocker arm slot 241, the rocker arm slide bar 242 is located at the lowest position, and at the same time, the rising and falling processes of the rocker arm 242 tend to be stable;

[0037] In some embodiments, the card separating drive device may include a first drive, and the card stacking drive device may include another drive. One drive drives the card separating transmission assembly to move the card separating plate 12, and another drive drives the card stacking transmission assembly to move the card receiving seat 21.

[0038] In this embodiment, the card-splitting transmission assembly includes a main rotating member 14; the outer wall of the stacking rotating member 23 is provided with teeth, and the outer wall of the card-splitting rotating member 11 is provided with teeth; the main rotating member 14 is provided with a stacking tooth 141 for meshing with the teeth of the stacking rotating member 23 in the range of the first angle to the first angle + 180°, and the main rotating member 14 is provided with a splitting tooth 142 for meshing with the teeth of the splitting rotating member 11 in the range of the first angle + 180° to the first angle + 360°. The card-distributing teeth 142 are respectively located in the circumferential directions of different layers of the main rotating member 14 and meshed with each other; the radial dimensions of the stacking tooth 141, the radial dimensions of the card-distributing teeth 142, the radial dimensions of the teeth of the stacking rotating member 23 and the radial dimensions of the teeth of the card-distributing rotating member 11 are the same; the main rotating member 14 is used to be driven and rotated by the card-distributing driving device to drive the card-distributing rotating member 11 to rotate and the stacking rotating member 23 does not rotate, or driven and rotated by the card-distributing driving device to drive the stacking rotating member 23 to rotate and the card-distributing rotating member 11 does not rotate. It can be understood that in this embodiment, only one driver needs to be set, and the control module controls one driver to drive the main rotating member 14 to rotate forward and reverse, thereby realizing the control of the movement of the card-receiving seat 21 and the card-distributing plate 12 respectively, and the two do not move at the same time to avoid interference. Complex actions are realized through a low-cost mechanical transmission structure, which can greatly reduce costs compared to using two motor drives, and greatly reduce space occupancy, with a compact structure, while ensuring that the setting is performed without increasing the size of the mahjong machine and achieving the effect of no pushing cards.

[0039] It can be understood that the aforementioned driver is controlled by a control module, and the forward and reverse rotation of the motor is controlled, that is, the forward and reverse rotation of the main rotating member 14 is controlled. During specific installation, the angles of the stacking rotating member 23 and the card dividing rotating member 11 are such that the card receiving seat 21 is located at the highest point or the lowest point, and the card dividing plate 12 is located at the first side or the second side. The first angular position of the main rotating member 14 is at a critical position where the stacking tooth 141 is meshed with the stacking rotating member 23, and the card dividing tooth 142 is at a critical position where it is meshed with the card dividing rotating member 11. As shown in the figure, the card receiving seat 21 is located at the highest point and carries the mahjong tiles 10, and the card dividing plate 12 is located at the Taking the second side of the card inlet 22 as an example, the main rotating member 14 is rotated 180° forward (the forward rotation direction is only a hypothetical relative direction for the sake of distinction), the card dividing plate 12 moves from the second side to the first side and then pushes the mahjong tile 10 to the first end of the card receiving track 7, the main rotating member 14 continues to rotate forward 90° and then pauses, the card receiving seat 21 drops a distance of the thickness of the mahjong tile 10, and the mahjong machine conveys a mahjong tile 10 to the card receiving seat 21, the main rotating member 14 continues to rotate forward 90° and then pauses, the card receiving seat 21 drops a distance of the thickness of the mahjong tile 10 again to the lowest point, and the mahjong machine conveys another mahjong tile 10 to be stacked on the previous mahjong tile 10 At this time, the main rotating member 14 can be controlled to reverse 180°, the card receiving seat 21 rises to the highest point, the main rotating member 14 continues to reverse 180°, and the card dividing plate 12 moves from the first side of the card entry opening 22 to the second side to push the mahjong tiles 10 to the second end of the card receiving track 7; it should be noted that the card receiving tracks 7 on both sides of the card entry opening 22 have different lengths and can carry different numbers of mahjong tiles 10. In the above-mentioned action process, after the card dividing plate 12 pushes the cards to the first side of the card entry opening 22, the main rotating member 14 can be reversed 180° to make the card dividing plate 12 return to the second end of the card entry opening 22 On the second side, the card holder 21 is continuously reversed twice by 90° to lower it to the lowest position, and the aforementioned steps can be repeated in reverse to continue stacking and dividing the cards; similarly, when the card holder 21 is raised to the highest position and does not carry mahjong tiles 10, or to the middle height and does not carry mahjong tiles 10, or to the lowest position, the position of the card dividing plate 12 before dividing the cards can be selected based on the above-mentioned forward and reverse rotation method, thereby controlling the number of piles of mahjong tiles 10 on both sides of the card entry 22. A motor and the above-mentioned transmission structure can realize two-way card dividing based on the forward and reverse rotation of the motor, and the structure is compact and space occupancy is low.

[0040] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the stacking card rotating member 23 is symmetrically provided with a first protrusion 232 with an inner arc depression, and the main rotating member 14 is provided with a first arc-shaped step 143 for matching the inner arc depression of the first protrusion 232 in the range of the first angle +180° to the first angle +360°; the outer wall of the card dividing rotating member 11 is symmetrically formed with a second protrusion 112 with an inner arc depression; the main rotating member 14 is provided with a second arc-shaped step 144 for matching the inner arc depression of the second protrusion 112 in the range of the first angle to the first angle +180°; the first arc-shaped step 143 is used to cooperate with the first protrusion 232 when the main rotating member 14 drives the card dividing rotating member 11 to rotate, so that the outer arc surface of the first arc-shaped step 143 slides along the inner arc depression of the first protrusion 232 to thereby limit the rotation of the stacking card rotating member 23; the second arc-shaped step 144 is used to cooperate with the first protrusion 232 when the main rotating member 14 drives the stacking card rotating member 23 When rotating, it cooperates with the second protrusion 112 to make the outer arc surface of the second arc-shaped step 144 slide along the inner arc depression of the second protrusion 112, thereby limiting the rotation of the card-splitting rotating member 11; wherein, when the main rotating member 14 is at the first angle and the first angle + 180°, it is in the critical position where the card stacking tooth 141 is meshed with the card stacking rotating member 23, and the card-splitting tooth 142 is in the critical position where the card-splitting rotating member 11 is meshed, at this time, one end point of the arc-shaped end surface of the first arc-shaped step 143 is located in the middle position of the inner arc depression of the first protrusion 232, and one end point of the arc-shaped end surface of the second arc-shaped step 144 is located in the middle position of the inner arc depression of the second protrusion 112. When the main rotating member 14 drives the card stacking rotating member 23 to rotate, as it rotates, the arc surface of the first arc-shaped step 143 separates from the inner arc depression of the first protrusion 232, and the arc surface of the second arc-shaped step 144 moves along the second protrusion 112. The inner arc concave arc surface moves, and the two are concentric, thereby limiting the rotation of the card separating rotating member 11, avoiding interference caused by factors such as friction and gravity; when the main rotating member 14 drives the card separating rotating member 11 to rotate, the card stacking rotating member 23 is limited in rotation in the same way; by setting the above-mentioned limiting structure, it is integrated with the action part structure, the structure is compact and the number of parts is streamlined, the space occupancy is small, it is not easily affected by factors such as deformation, and only one driving device is required to drive it to achieve high-precision coordinated action.

[0041] Furthermore, the stacking mechanism 2 and the separating mechanism 1 are integrated at the second end of the integrated module, and a return mechanism 9 is provided on the card receiving track 7; the return mechanism 9 includes an energy storage slider 92 And an energy storage spring 91, an energy storage slider 92 is arranged on the card receiving track 7, and the energy storage slider 92 is used to abut and move with the mahjong tiles 10 located at the end when the last group of mahjong tiles 10 is pushed to the corresponding end of the card receiving track 7, thereby compressing the energy storage spring 91 to provide elastic force to make the mahjong tiles 10 return to abut against the card dividing plate 12. It can be understood that the head position of the energy storage spring 91 contacts the mahjong tiles 10 when the second-to-last group of mahjong tiles 10 is pushed to the second end of the card receiving track 7 and is compressed to store energy. The last group of mahjong tiles 10 is not separated on the card receiving seat. At this time, the compressed energy storage spring 91 provides elastic force to make the mahjong tiles 10 located on the second side of the card entry 22 move as a whole toward the first end of the card receiving track 7 to be close to the card dividing plate 12, thereby making the gap between the entire row of mahjong tiles 10 smaller and more beautiful.

[0042] Furthermore, a baffle is provided at the tail end of the energy storage spring 91, and the return mechanism 9 has a plurality of baffle installation positions, so that the baffle installation position can be changed according to the different numbers of mahjong tiles 10 under different rules in different regions, so that it contacts the mahjong tile 10 only when the mahjong tile 10 is pushed into the second end of the dividing track for the last time, avoiding premature contact to cause interference or failure to contact for energy storage and return.

[0043] In this embodiment, the card pushing mechanism 5 includes a card pushing drive device, a card pushing transmission assembly and a card pushing plate 51; the card pushing drive device is used to drive the card pushing transmission assembly to drive the card pushing plate 51 to move and then push the rows of stacked mahjong tiles 10 on the card holding track 7 onto the card lifting plate 41.

[0044] In this embodiment, the card-lifting mechanism 4 also includes a card-lifting drive device 45 and a card-lifting transmission assembly. The control module is used to control the card-lifting drive device 45 on the four-party integrated module to synchronously drive the corresponding card-lifting transmission assembly to drive the card-lifting plate 41 to move up and down, and then lift the mahjong tiles 10 on the card-lifting plate 41 to the surface of the table, that is, the control module controls the four card-lifting drive devices 45 to rotate at the same time, thereby driving the four lifting plates 41 to rise at the same time.

[0045] The card lifting transmission component and the card pushing transmission component are integrally arranged in the same integrated module. The driving device drives the card lifting plate 41 and the card pushing plate 51 to move in an interlaced and coordinated manner through the transmission component, controls the card pushing plate 51 to push the card wall on the card bearing track 7 onto the card lifting plate 41, and then controls the card lifting plate 41 to rise so that the card wall rises to the tabletop. By integrally arranging the card lifting transmission component and the card pushing transmission component in the same integrated module, the space occupation is reduced, the volume of the card loading mechanism is streamlined, and the assembly steps are simplified, thereby reducing costs.

[0046] Furthermore, the card-lifting driving device 45 includes a driver, which can be a motor. The card-lifting transmission assembly includes a card-lifting rotating member 42, a card-lifting gear 43 meshing with the card-lifting rotating member 42, and a card-lifting rocker arm 44. The fixed end of the card-lifting rocker arm 44 is connected to the card-lifting gear 43. The card-lifting rotating member 42 is used to be driven to rotate by the card-lifting driving device 45, thereby driving the card-lifting gear 43 to rotate and thereby driving the card-lifting rocker arm 44 to swing; the movable end of the card-lifting rocker arm 44 is connected to the card-lifting plate 41, and the card-lifting rocker arm 44 is used to rotate with the card-lifting gear 43 and thereby swing, thereby driving the card-lifting plate 41 to rise or fall, wherein the card-lifting rocker arm 44 is located on the side of the card-lifting mechanism facing the shuffling plate 61, the card-lifting rotating member 42 and the card-lifting gear 43 are located on the other side of the card-lifting mechanism, and the rotating shaft of the card-lifting gear 43 passes through the card-lifting mechanism and is connected to the card-lifting rocker arm 44, even if the transmission part of the card-lifting mechanism 4 and the card-lifting driving device 45 can be arranged outside the card-lifting mechanism to avoid interference;

[0047] It should be noted that the card-lifting mechanism 4 of the present embodiment includes two groups of symmetrically arranged card-lifting transmission components, that is, it has two groups of symmetrically arranged card-lifting rocker arms 44 to firmly support the card-lifting plate 41; wherein, the card-lifting rotating member 42 has a transmission tooth segment 421 and a card-lifting tooth segment 422 distributed along the axial direction, the card-lifting tooth segment 422 is used to mesh with the card-lifting gear 43, and the transmission tooth segment 421 is used to mesh with the card-lifting rotating member 42 of the adjacent card-lifting transmission component; the radial dimension of the transmission tooth segment 421 is larger than the radial dimension of the card-lifting tooth segment 422 to avoid interference. Through the above structure, the coordinated action of the two rocker arms can be achieved by driving a card-lifting drive device 45.

[0048] The card pushing transmission assembly includes a card pushing rotating member 52, a card pushing rocker arm 53 and a card pushing slider 54. The card pushing rotating member 52 is used to rotate under the drive of the card pushing driving device and thereby drive the card pushing rocker arm 53 to swing; the movable end of the card pushing rocker arm 53 is connected to the card pushing slider 54, and the card pushing plate 51 is connected to the card pushing slider 54; the card pushing rocker arm 53 is used to swing with the rotation of the card pushing rotating member 52, thereby driving the card pushing slider 54 to move and thereby moving the card pushing plate 51; it can be understood that the moving direction of the card pushing slider 54 is fixed, and in order to adapt to the moving trajectory of the end of the card pushing rocker arm 53, the card pushing slider 54 is perpendicular to its moving direction and is provided with a card pushing slide groove 541 for cooperating with the card pushing rocker arm 53. When the card pushing rocker arm 53 drives the card pushing slider 54 to move horizontally, the movable end of the card pushing rocker arm 53 slides in the card pushing slide groove 541;

[0049] Specifically, the first end surface of the card pushing rotating member 52 is provided with a plane section 521 and an inclined surface section 522 distributed along the circumferential direction; the card pushing rocker arm 53 includes a main rocker arm 531 and a secondary rocker arm 532 which are coaxially arranged, and the movable end of the secondary rocker arm 532 abuts against the first end surface of the card pushing rotating member 52 and then abuts against the plane section 521 to remain stationary or against the inclined surface section 522 as the card pushing rotating member 52 rotates. The secondary rocker arm 532 abuts against and moves along the inclined surface section 522, thereby driving the main rocker arm 531 to swing; the movable end of the main rocker arm 531 is connected to the card pushing slider 54; it can be understood that in the initial position (the initial position is a tentative relative position, which is convenient for distinguishing subsequent actions), the movable end of the secondary rocker arm 532 abuts against the flat surface section 521 of the first end surface of the card pushing rotating member 52, and as the card pushing rotating member 52 rotates, the movable end of the secondary rocker arm 532 abuts against its inclined surface section 522, and moves along the inclined surface section 522 as the card pushing rotating member 52 rotates, thereby changing the angle of the secondary rocker arm 532, thereby changing the angle of the main rocker arm 531 coaxially connected to the secondary rocker arm 532, causing the main rocker arm 531 to swing, thereby driving the card pushing slider 54 to move horizontally, thereby realizing the pushing of the card pushing plate 51;

[0050] Furthermore, the card pushing mechanism 5 includes a card pushing tension spring 542, which is used to provide elastic force to reset the card pushing slider 54 that has been moved out, that is, when the card pushing rotating member 52 rotates until the secondary rocker arm 532 is separated from the inclined surface section 522, the card pushing slider 54 is reset by the elastic force and then drives the card pushing rocker arm 53 to reset so that the secondary rocker arm 532 abuts against the plane section 521;

[0051] Furthermore, the card pushing plate 51 is provided with a yielding slot corresponding to the card dividing plate 12. When pushing cards, the card dividing plate 12 is located in the yielding slot to avoid interference.

[0052] In some embodiments, the card raising drive device 45 may be a driver, and the card pushing drive device may be a driver; in the present embodiment, the card raising drive device 45 and the card pushing drive device are set as the same driver, and the card raising drive device 45 is used to drive and connect with the card raising rotating member 42 of any group of card raising transmission components; the card pushing rotating member 52 is coaxially arranged with a group of card raising rotating members 42 of an adjacent card raising drive device 45 and thus rotates synchronously with the card raising rotating member 42; specifically, the card raising tooth segment 422 is an arc-shaped tooth set in the range of the first angle to the second angle of the card raising rotating member 42, and the card raising tooth segment 422 is in the arc The portion other than the tooth shape is used to prevent the card lifting rocker arm 44 from swinging when the card pushing rotating member 52 rotates to the point where the inclined surface section 522 abuts against the secondary rocker arm 532, so that the card lifting plate 41 remains stationary when the card pushing plate 51 pushes the card, that is, the inclined surface section 522 of the card pushing rotating member 52 should be set in the second angle to the first angle range of the card pushing rotating member 52, and be staggered with the card lifting tooth section 422; based on this, the actions of the card pushing plate 51 and the card lifting plate 41 can be controlled respectively by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of a driver; for example, a card lifting rotating member 42 is at the first angle and meshes with the starting end of the card lifting gear 43, and the card lifting rocker arm 44 The movable end of the card-raising plate 41 is at the highest point, and the card-raising plate 41 is at the height of the mahjong table top; the driving device drives the connected card-raising rotating member 42 to rotate from the first angle to the second angle direction (defined as forward rotation), driving the other card-raising rotating member 42 to rotate synchronously (reverse rotation), thereby driving the two card-raising gears 43 to rotate, so that the two card-raising rocker arms 44 swing, and the movable end of the card-raising rocker arm 44 moves from the highest limited position to the lowest limited position with the swing, and when the other card-raising rotating member 42 rotates, it drives the coaxially arranged card-pushing rotating member 52 to rotate synchronously, and the secondary rocker arm 532 abuts against the plane section 521; when the card-raising rotating member 42 rotates to the second angle, the card-raising tooth segment 422 disengages from the card-raising gear 43, and the secondary rocker arm 532 abuts against the plane section 521, and at this time, other action mechanisms of the mahjong machine can act on the card bearing track 7 to separate the cards; then, the card raising drive device 45 continues to control the card raising rotating member 42 to rotate forward, and then drives another card raising rotating member 42 to rotate reversely, thereby driving the card pushing rotating member 52 to rotate, and the secondary rocker arm 532 and the inclined surface section 522 produce relative movement, and the card raising gear 43, the card raising rocker arm 44 and the card raising plate 41 remain stationary; as the slope of the contact position between the active end of the secondary rocker arm 532 and the inclined surface section 522 changes, it swings, and then the card pushing plate 51 moves, pushing the card wall on the card bearing track 7 to the card raising plate 41, and at this time the active end of the secondary rocker arm 532 is located at the top of the inclined surface section 522;Then the driving device is controlled to reverse, so that the secondary rocker arm 532 is swung back and reset along the inclined section 522 under the action of the card pushing spring, the card pushing plate 51 is reset, the secondary rocker arm 532 swings to match with the flat section 521, the arc step of the card lifting rotating member 42 slides out of the inner arc groove of the limit section 431 of the card lifting gear 43, the motor continues to reverse, and the secondary rocker arm 532 The card-pushing plate 51 does not move when it cooperates with the plane section 521, and the card-pushing spring keeps the card-pushing plate 51 stationary and not driven, and the card-lifting rocker arm 44 swings its active end to rise and slide in the card-lifting slide groove 411 of the card-lifting plate 41, thereby driving the card-lifting plate 41 to rise and realize the card-lifting; based on the above structure, the card-lifting transmission component and the card-pushing transmission component of the card-loading mechanism are integrated, with fewer parts, and only one drive device is required to be set up and the card-pushing action and the card-lifting action can be staggered and coordinated by controlling its forward and reverse rotation, with a simple structure and high space utilization, and greatly reducing the cost of parts and the cost of using the driver. At the same time, based on the above structure, the various mechanisms are integrated in an integrated module, and the structure is simple. ;

[0053] In some embodiments, the brand-raising gear 43 can be a circular gear or a fan-shaped gear that can cooperate with the brand-raising tooth segment 422; in the present embodiment, the brand-raising gear 43 is a fan-shaped gear, and the brand-raising gear 43 protrudes axially to form a fan-shaped limit segment 431 that is compatible with the fan-shaped gear, and one side of the outer ring surface of the limit segment 431 has an inner arc depression; the brand-raising rotating member 42 also has an arc step distributed axially for matching with the inner arc depression of the limit segment 431, and the arc step is arranged in the third angle to fourth angle range of the brand-raising rotating member 42 (within the second angle to first angle range of the brand-raising rotating member 42), and the arc step is used to turn into the inner arc depression of the limit segment 431 when the brand-raising gear 43 rotates to disengage from the brand-raising tooth segment 422 and drives the active end of the brand-raising rocker arm 44 to be located at the lower height limit position, thereby limiting the rotation of the brand-raising gear 43, thereby raising the brand when the pushing plate 51 pushes the card. The plate 41 remains stationary. For example, when the card-raising tooth segment 422 is disengaged from the card-raising gear 43 and the movable end of the secondary rocker arm 532 begins to cooperate with the inclined segment 522, the arc step of the card-raising rotating member 42 turns into the inner arc depression of the limit segment 431 of the card-raising gear 43. The two have the same arc and remain concentric, thereby limiting the rotation of the card-raising gear 43, and thus maintaining the angle of the card-raising rocker arm 44 unchanged, which can prevent the card-raising plate 41 from moving when the card-pushing plate 51 is in motion, and also provide a stable support when the card-raising plate 41 moves to the end point position and needs to remain stationary. In some embodiments, the rocker arms of the two sets of card-raising mechanisms 4 are cross-arranged and hinged at the cross position to form a scissor-type structure. Because the card-raising plate 41 needs to support the lifting of the card wall, the above structure makes the support structure of the two sets of rocker arms more stable to prevent deformation after long-term use.

[0054] Based on the above content, the control module of the present embodiment is used to control the actions of the shuffling mechanism 6, the conveying mechanism 3, the stacking mechanism 2, the dividing mechanism 1, the pushing mechanism 5 and the lifting mechanism 4 respectively, and sensors such as sensors and counters are set at some positions; for example, the control module controls the dividing drive device to drive the card holder 21 to be located in the middle position, controls the conveying mechanism 3 to work and convey a mahjong tile 10 to the card holder 21, controls the lifting drive device 45 to drive the card holder 21 to the lowest position, controls the conveying mechanism 3 to work and convey another mahjong tile 10 to the card holder 21 for stacking, controls the lifting drive device 45 to drive the card holder 21 to the highest position, and controls the dividing drive device to drive the dividing plate 12 The card-splitting action is performed, and the card-splitting plate 12 is further controlled to be reset or kept in place, and the above steps are repeated through counting by the counter until the card-receiving track 7 reaches the preset number of piles, and the card-receiving seat 21 carries the last pile of mahjong tiles 10 without performing the card-splitting action; the control module controls the card-lifting driving device 45 to drive the card-pushing plate 51 to push the card wall on the card-receiving track 7 and the card-receiving seat 21 to the card-lifting plate 41, and continues to control the card-lifting driving device 45 to drive the card-lifting plate 41 to lift the card wall to the surface of the table.

[0055] In this embodiment, a guide rod is provided on the bottom surface of the card-raising board 41, and the mahjong machine includes an integrated bracket 8 arranged in the table body, and the bracket 8 has a guiding structure for matching with the guide rod.

[0056] The bracket 8 of the present lifting support structure is an integrally formed structure, which is arranged in the mahjong machine to position each card-lifting board 41 in the mahjong machine respectively. Each card-lifting board 41 is driven to lift by its corresponding driving device respectively, and it can position and guide each card-lifting board 41, maintain the relative position of each card-lifting board 41 and the correspondence with the position of the card outlet slot on the table top of the mahjong machine, without repeated adjustment, and the positioning can be achieved after the bracket 8 is installed in position, and the influence of structural deformation caused by long-term use can be avoided; and, compared with the use of an integrated card-lifting board 41, when each driving device works synchronously but the lifting speeds at different places are different under different working conditions, the present lifting support structure can avoid the mechanism jamming caused by different lifting speeds, and the movement is stable and smooth, and the structure is solid.

[0057] Specifically, the bracket 8 has four supporting edges 81 that are perpendicular to each other, and each brand-lifting plate 41 is arranged parallel to and adjacent to a supporting edge 81, so that when the brand-lifting plate 41 is subjected to surface stress for a long time, it has a positioning and alignment function, thereby reducing the impact of deformation caused by long-term use.

[0058] Furthermore, the first end of the supporting edge 81 is vertically connected between the first end and the second end of the first side of the adjacent supporting edge 81, and each card raising plate 41 is respectively arranged on the second side of a supporting edge 81. The present bracket 8 can be specifically applied to a mahjong machine without pushing cards. The four card raising plates 41 are perpendicular to each other, forming a windmill-like structure. When the cards are raised to the card wall behind the table, there is no need for the player to push the cards again.

[0059] In this embodiment, the positioning structure includes a positioning block 811 formed on the bottom surface of each supporting edge 81, the positioning block 811 is arranged close to the second side of the adjacent supporting edge 81, and the spacing between the positioning block 811 and the adjacent supporting edge 81 is less than the width of the lifting plate 41; the positioning block 811 is provided with a first guide hole 8111 and a second guide hole 8112, the first guide hole 8111 is located on the first side of the supporting edge 81, and the second guide hole 8112 is located on the second side of the supporting edge 81, the lifting plate 41 has at least two positioning rods, and the lifting plate 41 has at least two positioning rods. One positioning rod of the lifting plate 41 cooperates with the second guide hole 8112 of the corresponding supporting edge 81, and another positioning rod of the lifting plate 41 cooperates with the first guide hole 8111 of the adjacent supporting edge 81. The above structure can guide the lifting action of the lifting plate 41 and position the lifting plate 41 at the same time. The two positioning rods of each lifting plate 41 are respectively located on the positioning blocks 811 of the two adjacent supporting edges 81, with stable support and compact structure. The two positioning rods are diagonally distributed on the lifting plate 41, and the bottom support is more stable, avoiding deformation caused by one side being stressed without support.

[0060] In some embodiments, reference Fig.30 Alternatively, one end of any of the two positioning rods of the lifting plate 41 that is away from the lifting plate 41 is a large end, and the large end has a certain elasticity for assembly with the positioning structure, that is, the diameter of the large end is adapted to the diameters of the first guide hole 8111 and the second guide hole 8112; the rod diameter of the positioning rod is slightly smaller than the diameter of the guide hole, so as to prevent the lifting plate from being stuck and unable to move after assembly due to production errors, and at the same time prevent the mechanism from being deformed after long-term use, resulting in displacement of the installation position and causing the lifting plate to be stuck;

[0061] In some embodiments, reference Fig.31It can also be that the positioning block 811 is only provided with a guide hole on the second side of the supporting edge 81, and a guide groove 814 is provided on the first side of the supporting edge, and the spacing between the guide groove 814 and the adjacent supporting edge 81 is smaller than the width of the lifting plate 41, and a positioning rod of the lifting plate 41 cooperates with the guide hole of the corresponding supporting edge 81, and the other positioning rod of the lifting plate 41 cooperates with the guide groove 814 of the adjacent supporting edge 81, that is, the positioning rod of the lifting plate used to cooperate with the guide hole is a round rod, and the positioning rod used to cooperate with the guide groove 814 is a square rod. Based on the above structure, the problem of the lifting plate being unable to be assembled and the mechanism being stuck due to production precision errors can be avoided, the assembly and subsequent lifting actions are smoother, and the mechanism being stuck due to deformation after long-term use can be avoided; it can also be that the positioning block 811 is only provided with a guide hole on the first side of the supporting edge 81, and the guide groove 814 is provided on the second side of the supporting edge 81.

[0062] In this embodiment, the first side of each supporting edge 81 is surrounded to form an annular cavity, and the inner annular surface of the annular cavity is triangular or circular, which has a certain supporting effect on the bracket 8 to prevent deformation. It is preferably circular to avoid interference with the mahjong tiles 10 pushed into the mahjong machine on the mahjong machine table;

[0063] Furthermore, the annular cavity is provided with a slope structure, and its slope gradually decreases from the first side of the support edge 81 to the center of the annular cavity, so that part of the mahjong tiles 10 pushed into the mahjong machine by the player can slide along the slope structure to the shuffling plate 61; in specific application, the card lifting plate 41 is connected to the actuator of the mahjong machine, and the actuator is located on the second side of the corresponding support edge 81 and abuts against the first side of the adjacent support edge 81, so as to position each other, improve the assembly accuracy, and avoid deformation caused by long-term stress on the mechanism.

[0064] Furthermore, a positioning groove 812 is provided at the second end of the supporting edge 81; a positioning protrusion matching the positioning groove 812 is provided in the table body of the mahjong machine, so as to locate the installation position of the bracket 8 and ensure the assembly accuracy; a threaded hole 813 is provided at the second end of the supporting edge 81 at the position of the positioning groove 812, and the positioning protrusion is formed on the mounting plate, which is fixedly arranged in the table body and provided with mounting holes for passing screws, so that the supporting edge 81 can be installed on the mounting plate, and then the mounting plate is connected to the inner wall of the table body, so that the installation operation is more convenient and the fixation is stable; in this embodiment, the first end of the supporting edge 81 is vertically connected to the second end of the adjacent supporting edge 81, and the vertical position is located between the first end and the second end of the supporting edge 81, and each card-raising plate 41 is respectively arranged on the second side of a supporting edge 81, and is correspondingly connected to the actuator installed on the second side of the supporting edge 81.

For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
