At this time, the conveying track transports the second mahjong to the connection device, and the second mahjong is stacked on the first mahjong;

[0026] S3, after the sensing device senses the second mahjong tile falling, it sends a signal to the controller, so that the motor drives the push rod to continue to move, the push rod pushes the stacked mahjong tiles to the storage track, and then the motor drives the push rod to return to the initial position;

[0027] S4, repeating steps S2 and S3, so that the stacked mahjong tiles are guided into the storage track in a row until a set number is reached;

[0028] S5, when the number of mahjong tiles reaches the set value, the motor drives the card push rod to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby driving the lifting drive device to rotate, so that one end of the supporting plate of the card delivery track falls down and connects with the card storage track;

[0029] S6, then the motor drives the push rod to rotate forward, and pushes all the arranged mahjong pieces along the storage track onto the support plate;

[0030] S7, then the motor continues to drive the card pushing rod to move forward, and at this time it conflicts with the lifting drive device again, thereby guiding the lifting drive device to rotate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] Embodiment 1:

[0044] Mahjong driving device, such as Figure 1-9 As shown, it mainly includes a conveying track, a card storage track 1 and a card feeding track 2.

[0045] In order to facilitate the rationality of the structure, a motor 3 with a controller is arranged in the area of ​​the card storage track 1. The motor 3 is connected to the card pushing rod 4 through a transmission mechanism. The structure of the card pushing rod 4 shown in the figure is to take into account its overall structural strength and operating stability. It is arranged to be circular and protrudes on one side. Circular motion can be sent by the drive of the motor 3. Of course, the structure of the card pushing rod 4 is not limited to this. As long as it can be driven by the motor 3 or other means and can achieve the function of the present invention, its specific structure can be designed arbitrarily.

[0046] The conveyor track is not shown in the attached drawings. The conveyor track is a common structure of an automatic mahjong table in the prior art. After the shuffling mechanism in the mahjong machine shuffles the cards, it will be transferred to the conveyor track. The conveyor track can usually be set as a device transmitted by a belt. The mahjong is arranged and enters the conveyor track, and is transported to the card storage track 1 by the conveyor track. Of course, other methods are also possible, which are not limited this time. For the convenience of understanding, the attached drawings are shown in FIG. Figure 1 The direction of the arrow is the position of the conveyor track.

[0047] A connection device 5 needs to be provided between the conveying track and the card storage track 1. The purpose of the connection device 5 is to smoothly transfer the mahjong from the conveying track to the card storage track 1, and to stack the mahjong into groups of two.

[0048] The structural key points of the connection device 5 of the present invention are as follows Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, it includes a rotating card stacking seat 51 that is rotatably arranged. The rotating card stacking seat 51 can be arranged on the main structure of the mahjong machine. In order to facilitate the display of the core structure, the present invention does not show the main structure of the mahjong table. The rotating card stacking seat 51 is usually arranged in an L-shaped structure. The L-shaped structure here is not limited to 90°, and can also be greater than 90° or less than 90°. In this way, the two sides of the rotating card stacking seat 51 are respectively a support plate 511 and a limit plate 512. In a natural state, the support plate 511 will naturally droop due to its own gravity. In order to limit the range of rotation and drooping of the support plate 511 due to its own gravity, a raised structure can be set on the rotating structure to limit the rotation range of the rotating card stacking seat 51. The card pushing rod 4 can be driven by the card pushing rod 4 to rotate so that the support plate 511 can be tilted about 45° relative to the card storage track 1, or it can be kept at the same horizontal plane as the card storage track 1. Of course, when the card pushing rod 4 separates from the rotating card stacking seat 51, the support plate 511 will rotate to be lower than the card storage track 1 due to its own gravity. In this way, when the card pushing rod 4 passes through the rotating card stacking seat 51, it can squeeze the limiting plate 512 and pass smoothly. After passing smoothly, the rotating card stacking seat 51 will return to its original position due to its own gravity. The return at this time is to enable the card pushing rod 4 to continue to conflict with the limiting plate 512 smoothly when moving in the reverse direction, thereby continuing to drive the support plate 511 to reach a tilted or horizontal state.

[0049] A sensing device 7 is also provided on the side wall of the card storage track 1. The sensing device 7 may be an infrared sensor or a light-controlled sensor, and it only needs to be able to detect the presence of mahjong and then send a signal to the controller.

[0050] After the controller receives the signal, it will drive the motor 3 to drive the card pushing rod 4 to rotate. Before transmitting the first mahjong, the card pushing rod 4 will rotate clockwise to make the support plate 511 in a tilted state. This is the first state, which is a state of waiting for receiving mahjong. When the first mahjong falls, the sensing device 7 senses it and sends a signal to the controller, so that the motor 3 drives the card pushing rod 4 to rotate counterclockwise by a certain amplitude, and the card pushing rod 4 drives the limit plate 512 to rotate, so that the support plate 511 is in the same plane with the card storage track 1. This is the second state, and then the conveying track will The second mahjong piece is transported to the top of the first mahjong piece and stacked to form a group of mahjong pieces placed up and down. At this time, the sensing device 7 sends a signal to the controller, and the controller drives the motor 3 to drive the card pushing rod 4 to rotate. When the card pushing rod 4 rotates counterclockwise, it will push the stacked first group of mahjong pieces into the card storage track 1, and then the card pushing rod 4 rotates clockwise under the drive of the motor 3, thereby continuing to resist the limit plate 512, so that the entire rotating card stacking seat 51 continues to return to the first state, waiting to receive mahjong pieces; this reciprocating process continues until a certain number of mahjong pieces are stored in the card storage track 1 to meet the set value.

[0051] The card storage track 1 is not only used to store a fixed number of mahjongs, but also needs to transport the fixed number of mahjongs from the card storage track 1 to the card delivery track 2 through the card pushing rod 4.

[0052] Key structural references for card delivery track 2 Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 First, the function of the card delivery track 2 is to smoothly transfer the mahjong in the card storage track 1 to the card delivery track 2, and then the card delivery track 2 also needs to smoothly lift these mahjong onto the desktop of the mahjong table.

[0053] Therefore, the present invention sets the card delivery track 2 as a structure with one side lifting and lowering and the other side rotating and connected. When it needs to dock with the card storage track 1 to receive mahjong, the side close to the card storage track 1 moves downwardly until it docks with the card storage track 1. Then, when the card pushing rod 4 rotates counterclockwise, the mahjong can be pushed to move along the card storage track 1 until all of it is transferred to the card delivery track 2.

[0054] The card feeding track 2 mainly includes a supporting plate 21 with a rotatable connection at one end, and the other end of the supporting plate 21 is connected to the card storage track 1, and the lifting and lowering control of the supporting plate 21 needs to be controlled by the lifting drive device 6, which mainly includes a rotatably installed guide member 61, and a push rod 62 is fixedly installed or integrally formed on the side wall of the guide member 61, and the push rod 62 is used to contact the bottom of the supporting plate 21, so that when the guide member 61 rotates, the push rod 62 will perform a circular motion, and when the push rod 62 performs a circular motion, different interference positions will be generated on the supporting plate 21, because one end of the supporting plate 21 is restricted to only rotate, and the other end can therefore perform a lifting action, so that when the push rod 62 rotates counterclockwise, the movable end of the supporting plate 21 can be lowered to connect with the card storage track 1, or when the push rod 62 rotates clockwise, the movable end of the supporting plate 21 can be raised to the table top of the mahjong table and kept horizontal.

[0055] Of course, in the drawings of the present invention, the push rod 62 is provided with a push rod 1 621 and a push rod 2 622, and a first guide portion 22 and a second guide portion 23 are provided below the supporting plate 21, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9As shown in , the reason why the present invention is designed in this way is because of the travel limitation. Because of the setting of the guide 61, the rotation angle is limited to a small range, that is, the rotation range of the push rod 62 is limited. Therefore, it is considered to set the push rod 1 621 to cooperate with the first guide part 22, and the push rod 2 622 to cooperate with the second guide part 23. When the push rod 1 621 extends into the first guide part 22 and rotates, the push rod 2 622 and the second guide part 23 do not contact each other until the push rod 1 621 is about to be separated from the first guide part 22. At this time, the push rod 2 622 just enters the second guide part 23 and continues to conflict. In this way, through the cooperation between each other, the support plate 21 can smoothly complete the tilted downward rotation or restore from the tilted downward state to the horizontal state, so as to transport the mahjong to the table. Of course, the structure here is set as needed according to the use size and structural size of the mahjong in the actual design.

[0056] The power source of the lifting drive device 6 is still realized by the card pushing rod 4 driven by the motor 3.

[0057] like Figure 8 As shown, the guide member of the lifting drive device 6 is not only provided with a push rod 62, but also provided with a guide groove 63 on the guide member 61. The position of the guide groove 63 is used to cooperate with the card pushing rod 4. In order to facilitate the card pushing rod 4 to contact with the guide member 61 during the movement, the present invention takes into account that the guide member 61 needs to rotate and needs to be sent back to the original position, so a herringbone guide groove 63 is designed. Figure 7 As shown, the upper end surface of the card pushing rod 4 is designed with a guide member 41, and the guide member 41 is a protrusion. When the card pushing rod 4 is stacking cards, the rotation amplitude of the card pushing rod 4 is limited to a certain range, and at this time, it will not contact the guide member 61; and when the mahjong cards are stacked and reach the set number value, before the mahjong in the card storage track 1 needs to be pushed to the lifting track 2, the card pushing rod 4 will rotate clockwise by a large amplitude under the control of the motor 3 until the guide member 41 on the card pushing rod 4 enters the guide groove 63, and after entering the guide groove 63, it will enter the herringbone head. In this process, the guide member 41 conflicts with the side wall of the guide groove 63, thereby causing the guide member 61 to rotate counterclockwise. When the guide member 61 rotates counterclockwise, the push rod 62 is in a state of being separated from the supporting plate 21, and the supporting plate 21 rotates under the action of its own gravity and docks with the card storage track 1.

[0058] At this time, the card pushing rod 4 will rotate counterclockwise under the drive of the motor 3, thereby entering the other track of the guide groove 63 and successfully leaving the guide groove 63, thereby pushing the arranged mahjong tiles from the card storage track 1 to the supporting plate 21. When all the mahjong tiles enter the supporting plate 21, the card pushing rod 4 continues to rotate counterclockwise, thereby entering the head of the herringbone guide groove 63, and continues to conflict with the side wall of the guide groove 63, thereby driving the guide member 61 to rotate clockwise. When rotating clockwise, the push rod 62 will conflict with the supporting plate 21, thereby forcing the supporting plate 21 to rise until the supporting plate 21 reaches a completely horizontal state, thereby completing the card removal.

[0059] After playing the cards, the player is in a waiting state, so a magnetic switch 8 can be provided to control the start and stop of the motor 3, so as to facilitate the card push rod 4 to pause at a fixed position and wait for the next start.

[0060] In order to facilitate the design of the structure, the card storage track 1 can usually be designed to be arc-shaped, which is convenient for pushing mahjong without creating dead angles or getting stuck. The card pushing rod 4 can be arranged around the card storage track 1 and driven by the motor 3 to rotate in a circle. In this way, the card pushing rod 4 rotates forward or reversely within a fixed range, thereby realizing the function of stacking, playing and raising cards.

[0061] Embodiment 2:

[0062] A mahjong machine has the structure described in the embodiment. Of course, each mahjong machine is usually provided with four sets of mahjong driving devices of the first embodiment.

[0063] Embodiment three:

[0064] The mahjong driving method includes the mahjong driving device of the first embodiment, and the steps include:

[0065] S1, the mahjong is transported to the conveying track, and the conveying track transports the mahjong one by one to the connecting device 5;

[0066] S2, the initial state of the connecting device 5 is that it is resisted by the card pushing rod 4 so that it is tilted relative to the card storage track 1. At this time, the first mahjong is received. After the sensing device 7 senses that the first mahjong has fallen, it sends a signal to the controller, so that the motor 3 drives the card pushing rod 4 to rotate, so that the connecting device 5 rotates to a horizontal state with the card storage track 1. At this time, the conveying track transports the second mahjong to the connecting device 5, and the second mahjong is stacked on the first mahjong;

[0067] S3, after the sensing device 7 senses the second mahjong tile falling, it sends a signal to the controller, so that the motor 3 drives the card pushing rod 4 to continue to move, and the card pushing rod 4 pushes the stacked mahjong tiles to the card storage track 1, and then the motor 3 drives the card pushing rod 4 to return to the initial position;

[0068] S4, repeating steps S2 and S3, so that the stacked mahjong tiles are guided into the storage track 1 in a row until the set number is reached;

[0069] S5, when the number of mahjong tiles reaches the set value, the motor 3 drives the card push rod 4 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby driving the lifting drive device 6 to rotate, so that one end of the supporting plate 21 of the card feeding track 2 falls down and connects with the card storage track 1;

[0070] S6, then the motor 3 drives the push rod 4 to rotate forward, and pushes all the arranged mahjong pieces along the storage track onto the supporting plate 21;

[0071] S7, then the motor 3 continues to drive the card pushing rod 4 to move forward, and at this time it conflicts with the lifting drive device 6 again, thereby guiding the lifting drive device 6 to rotate. After the lifting drive device 6 rotates, it conflicts with the supporting plate 21, causing the supporting plate 21 to rise and return to a horizontal state, thereby sending the mahjong out.

[0072] After sending out, the card pushing rod 4 is in a waiting state, waiting for the next time to stack, play, and raise the cards. When the next time to stack, play, and raise the cards is needed, the card pushing rod 4 will first continue to rotate through the connecting device 5, and then reverse and hit the connecting device 5, so that the connecting device 5 reaches the initial state in step S2, and then repeat the above steps to realize the function of stacking, playing, and raising the cards again.

[0073] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

The driving device for mahjong according to claim 3, characterized in that: The push rods (62) are provided in two pieces, including a push rod 1 (621) and a push rod 2 (622); the support plate (21) is provided with a first guide portion (22) and a second guide portion (23); when the guide member (61) rotates, the push rod 1 (621) and the first guide portion (22) are in contact with each other, so that the support plate (21) rotates; when the push rod 2 (622) contacts the second guide portion (23), the push rod 1 (621) is disengaged from the first guide portion (22), and the push rod 2 (622) continues to rotate, so that the support plate (21) continues to rotate.

5. The driving device for mahjong according to claim 1, characterized in that: It also includes a magnetically controlled switch (8), which is arranged below the card-pushing rod (4). The magnetically controlled switch (8) is electrically connected to the controller and is used to control the motor (3) to drive the card-pushing rod (4) to start and stop.

6. The driving device for mahjong according to claim 1, characterized in that: The card storage track (1) is arranged in an arc shape, and the card pushing rod (4) moves along the arc-shaped card storage track (1) under the action of the motor (3).

7. A mahjong machine, characterized in that: The invention comprises a driving device for mahjong as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 6.

8. A driving method for mahjong, characterized in that: A driving device for mahjong according to any one of claims 1 to 6, comprising the steps of: S1, the mahjong is transported to the conveying track, and the conveying track transports the mahjong one by one to the connecting device (5); S2, the initial state of the connecting device (5) is that it is contacted by the card pushing rod (4) so ​​that it is tilted relative to the card storage track (1). At this time, the first mahjong is received, and the sensing device (7) senses that the first mahjong has fallen, and sends a signal to the controller, so that the motor (3) drives the card pushing rod (4) to rotate, so that the connecting device (5) rotates to a horizontal state with the card storage track (1), and the conveying track transports the second mahjong to the connecting device (5), and the second mahjong is stacked on the first mahjong; S3, after the sensing device (7) senses the second mahjong tile falling, it sends a signal to the controller, so that the motor (3) drives the push rod (4) to continue to move, and the push rod (4) pushes the stacked mahjong tiles to the storage track (1), and then the motor (3) drives the push rod (4) to return to the initial position; S4, repeating steps S2 and S3, so that the stacked mahjong tiles are guided into the storage track (1) in a row until a set number is reached; S5. When the number of mahjong tiles reaches a set value, the motor (3) drives the card pushing rod (4) to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby driving the lifting drive device (6) to rotate, so that one end of the supporting plate (21) of the card feeding track (2) falls down and connects with the card storage track (1); S6, the motor (3) then drives the push rod (4) to rotate in the forward direction, pushing all the arranged mahjong pieces along the storage track (1) onto the support plate (21); S7, the motor (3) then continues to drive the card pushing rod (4) to move forward, and at this time it comes into conflict with the lifting drive device (6) again, thereby guiding the lifting drive device (6) to rotate. After the lifting drive device (6) rotates, it comes into conflict with the supporting plate (21), causing the supporting plate (21) to rise and return to a horizontal state, thereby sending the mahjong out.
