Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fully automatic mahjong machine technology, specifically to a mahjong machine with integrated cleaning function and its control method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, traditional fully automatic mahjong machines only have functions for shuffling, stacking, and raising tiles, but lack a tile cleaning function. After prolonged use, dust, oil, and lint easily accumulate on the tiles, affecting their feel and hygiene. Existing methods for cleaning mahjong tiles mainly include manual cleaning and external cleaning. Manual cleaning is inefficient and cumbersome; external cleaning equipment is complex in structure, takes up space, and cannot operate simultaneously with shuffling.

[0003] Therefore, the market urgently needs a simple, integrated mahjong machine that can clean the tiles simultaneously during the shuffling process. Summary of the Invention
