Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mahjong machine technology, specifically relating to a sloping mahjong machine and its card-dispensing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The eight-player mahjong machine (referred to as the eight-player machine) has two tile-raising slots on each side of the panel. The tile-raising slot near the edge of the panel is used to deliver the mahjong tiles needed for the initial dealing, while the tile-raising slot near the center of the panel is used to deliver the mahjong tiles needed for drawing tiles. This eliminates the need for players to manually draw tiles at the beginning of the game, allowing players to quickly enter the game.

[0003] While this eight-port machine is convenient to use, it requires an independent card feeding component for each port. The internal structure of the mahjong machine is more complex than that of a regular four-port machine, resulting in higher costs and a higher failure rate.

[0004] To achieve the functionality of an eight-player mahjong machine within a four-player machine, Chinese invention patent CN101934142B discloses a tile-lifting mechanism for a four-player mahjong machine with eight-player functionality. This mechanism includes a support frame with a lifting aluminum strip assembly mounted on it. A power motor is mounted below the support frame, and a motor gear is connected to the motor's output shaft. The outer side of the motor gear meshes with a left rocker arm assembly with a left-hand rotating shaft, while the inner side of the motor gear meshes with a cam gear. The cam gear is coaxially mounted with a mahjong tile pushing mechanism on the other side of the support frame via a central rotating shaft. The cam gear is meshed with the right rocker arm assembly on the outside. The right rocker arm assembly includes a right rotating shaft, which passes through the bracket and is connected to the card-raising signal wheel on the other side of the bracket. A sensor circuit board is provided on the bracket next to the card-raising signal wheel. The card-raising signal wheel includes card-raising signal wheel I and card-raising signal wheel II. The two card-raising signal wheels can trigger the sensor circuit board to send a signal to stop the motor, and the triggering positions of the two card-raising signal wheels are staggered by a certain angle. At least one of the left rotating shaft, the middle rotating shaft and the right rotating shaft is provided with a one-way bearing with anti-reverse function.

[0005] The tile-raising mechanism divides the tile-raising process into a first-stage and a second-stage process by setting pauses throughout the process. In the first-stage process, only the top layer of mahjong tiles protrudes from the panel. After the player removes this row of mahjong tiles, the second-stage process begins to raise the remaining two layers of mahjong tiles to the top of the panel.

[0006] The shortcomings of this card-raising mechanism are: (1) it is only suitable for mahjong machines that raise and lower the card, but not for mahjong machines that raise the card on a slope; (2) it requires a card-stacking component that can stack three layers of cards, which has high requirements for card stacking. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sloping mahjong machine and its card-feeding mechanism, which enables an eight-player game in a four-player sloping mahjong machine.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0009] The card-dispensing mechanism of the ramp-type mahjong machine includes:

[0010] The frame has a card storage channel that is curved in an arc and has a bending angle greater than 180°.

[0011] A card-pushing component, wherein the card-pushing component is used to sequentially push the card-dealing sequence and the card-drawing sequence within the card storage channel;

[0012] A card-raising component, wherein the card-raising component is used to sequentially raise the dealing sequence and the drawing sequence to the panel;

[0013] The control component is connected to both the card-pushing component and the card-raising component.

[0014] This invention divides the card stacks entering the card storage channel into two groups: a dealing sequence and a drawing sequence. The dealing sequence is needed for the player's initial game, while the drawing sequence is needed during the game. Correspondingly, the card-pushing component has two pushing operations, and the card-raising component has two raising operations. Specifically, when the dealing sequence enters the card storage channel, the card-pushing component intervenes in the card stack sequence. When the drawing sequence also enters the card storage channel, the card-pushing component is positioned between the dealing and drawing sequences. At this point, the card-raising component first raises the dealing sequence to the panel, and then the card-pushing component rotates back to the end of the drawing sequence to push it to the card outlet of the card storage channel. After the dealing sequence is taken, the card-raising component raises the drawing sequence back to the panel. By allowing the card-pushing component to intervene earlier, an eight-player mahjong machine can be implemented in a four-player sloping card-drawing machine, enhancing the fun of the mahjong machine and eliminating the need for players to manually draw cards at the start of the game, saving time and effort.

[0015] In this invention, the number of mahjong tiles in the dealing sequence can be set arbitrarily. Regardless of how many mahjong tiles are in the stack of tiles in the stacking component, the dealing sequence can be easily changed by simply adjusting the number of stacks pushed during the first push. This not only greatly reduces the requirements for stacking tiles in the stacking component, but also makes it compatible with more gameplay options.

[0016] It should be noted that although the card-dealing method of this utility model realizes the eight-player game by inserting the card-pushing head between the card-dealing sequence and the card-drawing sequence, the eight-player game is also compatible with the four-player game of the four-player sloping card-dealing mahjong machine itself. Players can choose different game modes in the same mahjong machine as needed.

[0017] Preferably, in the card-feeding mechanism of the aforementioned inclined mahjong machine, the card-pushing component includes:

[0018] A card-pushing turntable is located in the center of the card storage channel, and a card-pushing head extending into the card storage channel is fixed on its outer periphery.

[0019] A card pusher motor, which is used to drive the card pusher turntable to rotate;

[0020] The control components include a main control module and a first sensing module connected to the main control module. The first sensing module is located at the card inlet of the card storage channel and is used to detect whether the entire card dealing sequence has entered the card storage channel. The main control module is used to receive the output signal of the first sensing module and control the card pushing motor to work.

[0021] The first sensing module can accurately and quickly detect whether the entire dealing sequence has entered the card storage channel. Obviously, the first sensing module can also be placed at the card stacking assembly to detect the number of cards already stacked, or it can be placed at the end of the card delivery channel (used to deliver cards to the card stacking assembly) to detect the number of cards delivered to the card stacking assembly; since the number of stacked cards and the number of cards delivered match the number of card stacks entering the card storage channel. However, placing the first sensing module directly at the card inlet of the card storage channel will yield more accurate results.

[0022] As a further preferred embodiment, in the card-dispensing mechanism of the aforementioned inclined mahjong machine, the first sensing module is a magnetic sensor or an infrared sensor.

[0023] Preferably, in the card-feeding mechanism of the above-mentioned inclined card-dispensing mahjong machine, the control component further includes a second sensing module, which is located at the card-dispensing port of the card storage channel and is used to detect whether the card-dealing sequence or the card-drawing sequence has reached the card-dispensing port; the main control module is used to receive the output signal of the second sensing module and control the card-pushing motor to work.

[0024] When the second sensing module detects the first mahjong tile in the dealing sequence, the main control module pauses the tile pushing motor and waits for the drawing sequence to enter the tile storage channel.

[0025] As a further preferred embodiment, in the card-dispensing mechanism of the aforementioned inclined mahjong machine, the second sensing module is a pressure sensor, a magnetic sensor, or an infrared sensor.

[0026] Preferably, in the card-feeding mechanism of the aforementioned inclined card-dispensing mahjong machine, the card-raising component includes:

[0027] The lifting plate is hinged to the frame;

[0028] A lifting motor used to drive the lifting plate to flip;

[0029] The first sensing module is also used to detect whether the entire card-drawing sequence has entered the card storage channel. The control component is used to receive the output signal of the first sensing module and control the card-pushing motor and the card-lifting motor to send the card-dealing sequence to the panel.

[0030] Only after all the cards in the drawing sequence have entered the card storage channel will the main control module start the card lifting motor, causing the card lifting plate to sink. At this point, the main control module will start the card pushing motor, and the card pushing head will push the card dealing sequence onto the card lifting plate. After pushing the card dealing sequence onto the card lifting plate, the card pushing head will rotate back to the starting point and begin pushing the card drawing sequence.

[0031] As a further preferred embodiment, in the card-feeding mechanism of the above-mentioned inclined card-dispensing mahjong machine, each card-lifting plate is linked to a ring-shaped linkage through a corresponding transmission unit, and the card-lifting motor is used to drive the ring-shaped linkage or at least one transmission unit to work.

[0032] The transmission unit includes a swinging component, the fixed end of which is hinged to the main frame, and the annular linkage component is used to drive the swinging component to swing; the bottom of the lifting plate is formed with a lifting curved groove, and the free end of the swinging component is equipped with a lifting bearing that rolls or slides with the lifting curved groove.

[0033] The annular linkage is provided with a first transmission rack, and the fixed end of the swinging member is provided with a transmission gear that meshes with the first transmission rack; the transmission gear is a complete gear or an incomplete gear.

[0034] The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the transmission gear or the swinging component; or, the annular linkage is provided with a second transmission rack, and the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected with a drive gear that meshes with the second transmission rack; the drive gear is a complete gear or an incomplete gear.

[0035] This means using a ring-shaped linkage to drive the four lifting plates in tandem, thereby achieving the goals of saving power, reducing failure points, and ensuring synchronous operation.

[0036] As a further preferred embodiment, in the card-dispensing mechanism of the above-mentioned inclined card-dispensing mahjong machine, the control component further includes a third sensing module, which is located on the card-lifting plate or on the moving path of the card-dispensing sequence, and is used to detect whether the card-dispensing sequence leaves the card-lifting plate.

[0037] The main control module is used to receive the output signal of the third sensing module and control the pusher motor and the lifter motor to send the drawing sequence to the panel.

[0038] Only when the third sensing module detects that the card dealing sequence has left the card lifting plate will the main control module restart the card lifting motor, and the card lifting plate will sink again. At this time, the main control module will restart the card pushing motor, and the card pushing head will push the card drawing sequence waiting at the card outlet of the card storage channel onto the card lifting plate.

[0039] As a further preferred embodiment, in the card-dispensing mechanism of the aforementioned inclined card-dispensing mahjong machine, the third sensing module is a pressure sensor or a magnetic sensor.

[0040] In addition to being able to be inserted between the dealing sequence and the drawing sequence to push cards sequentially, the card pusher also has another way of pushing cards, namely: the top surface of the frame is provided with a panel, which has a card dispensing port, and the panel has a dealing sequence storage area adjacent to the card dispensing port.

[0041] The panel has a through-hole for accommodating the fourth sensing module, and a thin protective cover for protecting the fourth sensing module is provided inside the through-hole; the top surface of the thin protective cover is flush with the top surface of the panel.

[0042] The thin cover has a U-shaped cross-section. The thin cover is integrally formed or fixedly connected to the main frame, and an accommodating space for accommodating the fourth sensing module is formed between the thin cover and the main frame.

[0043] The length of the card-raising plate is shortened so that the card-dealing sequence storage area and the card-dispensing port are closer to the center line of the panel, or at the center line of the panel, or beyond the center line of the panel;

[0044] The card pusher is also used to push cards at the end of the dealing sequence and the drawing sequence. The control component also includes a fourth sensing module connected to the main control module. The fourth sensing module is located in the dealing sequence storage area of ​​the panel and is used to monitor whether the dealing sequence is placed on the panel and whether the dealing sequence is taken away. The main control module is used to receive the output signal of the fourth sensing module and control the card pusher motor to work.

[0045] This invention discovers that when the tile-raising plate descends, it forms an angle with the panel, thus naturally separating the mahjong tiles that have been placed on the panel from those remaining on the tile-raising plate. In this way, the tile-raising plate can be used to present the dealing and drawing sequences in stages, eliminating the need to insert the tile-pushing head between the dealing and drawing sequences; the tiles can be pushed directly at the end of the entire sequence.

[0046] At this point, once the preset number of card stacks has been stored in the card storage channel (which can be detected by the first sensing module), the main control module starts the card pushing and card raising clicks. The card raising plate descends, and the card dealing sequence first ascends onto the panel. When the fourth sensing module detects that the entire card dealing sequence has ascended onto the panel, the main control module pauses the card pushing motor. When the fourth sensing module detects that the card dealing sequence has been taken away, the main control module starts the card pushing motor to push the entire card drawing sequence onto the card raising plate. Finally, the card raising plate rises to bring the card drawing sequence onto the panel.

[0047] Clearly, this second registration method is more efficient.

[0048] In addition, the purpose of setting a through-hole on the panel is to bring the fourth sensing module closer to the top surface of the panel so that it will not be blocked by the thick panel, thereby improving the detection sensitivity; the thin cover not only plays a simple protective role, but also forms a accommodating space with a certain structural strength to accommodate the fourth sensing module, preventing the fourth sensing module from being damaged by pressure.

[0049] In traditional mahjong machines, the length of the tile-raising opening (i.e., the length of the tile-raising plate) is relatively long, which has two drawbacks: First, it takes longer for the tile sequence to travel from the tile-raising plate to the panel; second, the tile sequence on the panel is too close to the player's left side, making it inconvenient for the player to move it in front of them.

[0050] To solve the above problems, the length of the tile-raising plate in this invention is shorter than that in existing mahjong machines. This allows the location of the tile-dealing sequence storage area to be shifted to the right, closer to the center line of the panel. This ensures that the tile-dealing sequence is closer to the player and easier to move. Furthermore, with the tile-raising plate shortened, the time required for the tile-dealing sequence to reach the panel from the storage channel is also shortened, giving the player more time to organize the tile-dealing sequence.

[0051] Preferably, in the card-dispensing mechanism of the above-mentioned inclined card-dispensing mahjong machine, the first sensing module, the second sensing module and the third sensing module form a first signal path with the main control module, and the first sensing module and the fourth sensing module form a second signal path with the main control module.

[0052] The control component also includes an operation panel connected to the main control module, which has operation buttons for switching between the first signal path and the second signal path.

[0053] By operating the buttons, different signal channels can be switched, and different card-dealing modes can be selected, thus enabling the mahjong machine to be compatible with more gameplay and have a wider audience.

[0054] To control the size of mahjong machines, the length of the storage channel in existing machines is basically set to "full capacity," meaning the total length of the tile stacks is roughly the same as the length of the storage channel. Therefore, when the tile pusher is inserted into the dealing and drawing sequences, it occupies space within the storage channel, preventing at least the last tile stack in the drawing sequence from entering the storage channel. Furthermore, the last few mahjong tiles in the shuffling bin typically require more time to arrange; if the tile pusher had to return to its starting point after the dealing sequence before stacking the tiles, it would prolong the time required to place tiles in the drawing sequence.

[0055] To eliminate this effect, preferably, in the card feeding mechanism of the above-mentioned inclined card-dispensing mahjong machine, the control component also includes a fifth sensing module connected to the main control module. The fifth sensing module is located in the card feeding channel of the card feeding component and is used to monitor whether the number of hidden cards in the card feeding channel reaches a preset value.

[0056] The main control module is used to receive the output signal of the fifth sensing module and control the operation of the stacking pusher head, the card pushing assembly, and the card lifting assembly.

[0057] In the first card-dealing mode, after the card-pushing head pushes the dealing sequence to the card-dispensing outlet of the card storage channel, it pauses and does not return to the starting point. At this time, although the card storage channel cannot temporarily store more drawing sequences, the remaining mahjong tiles are first hidden in the card-delivery channel. Only after all parties' card-delivery channels have a preset amount of mahjong tiles hidden do the card-raising plate sink. The card-pushing head immediately returns to its original point after pushing the dealing sequence onto the card-raising plate. During this process, the stacking pusher head also stacks the hidden tiles into a tile pile, ensuring that the last tile pile of the drawing sequence is pushed into the card storage channel before the card-pushing head returns to its original point. This avoids the need to reduce the number of tiles required in this card-dealing mode and also prevents the card-dealing time from being extended.

[0058] In the second card-dispensing mode, hiding the cards also helps to ensure that the last few card stacks are stacked at the same time, thereby enabling the card-pushing components of all parties to work at the same time. This utility model also provides a slope card-dispensing mahjong machine, which is equipped with the above-mentioned card-dispensing mechanism.

[0059] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are reflected in:

[0060] (1) This utility model divides the card stacks entering the card storage channel into two groups: a dealing sequence and a drawing sequence. The dealing sequence is required for the player's initial game, while the drawing sequence is required during the game. Correspondingly, the card pushing component has two card pushing operations, and the card raising component has two card raising operations. Specifically, when the dealing sequence enters the card storage channel, the card pushing component intervenes in the card stack sequence. When the drawing sequence also enters the card storage channel, the card pushing component is positioned between the dealing sequence and the drawing sequence. At this time, the card raising component first raises the dealing sequence to the panel, and then the card pushing component rotates back to the end of the drawing sequence to push the drawing sequence to the card outlet of the card storage channel. After the dealing sequence is taken away, the card raising component raises the drawing sequence to the panel again. By allowing the card pushing component to intervene in advance, an eight-player mahjong machine is implemented in a four-player sloping card-dispensing machine. The mahjong machine is more fun, and players do not need to manually draw cards at the start of the game, saving time and effort.

[0061] (2) In this utility model, the number of mahjong tiles in the dealing sequence can be set arbitrarily. No matter how many mahjong tiles are in the stack of tiles stacked by the stacking component, the dealing sequence can be easily changed by simply adjusting the number of stacks pushed when pushing the tiles for the first time. This not only greatly reduces the stacking requirements of the stacking component, but also makes it compatible with more gameplay.

[0062] (3) This utility model discovers that when the tile-lifting plate descends, it forms an angle with the panel, thus naturally separating the mahjong tiles that have been placed on the panel from those remaining on the tile-lifting plate. This allows for the direct use of the tile-lifting plate to present the dealing and drawing sequences in stages. Therefore, a second tile-adding mode is proposed: when the mahjong machine confirms that the entire dealing sequence has been placed on the panel, the machine pauses all tile-adding mechanisms to prevent the drawing sequence from being placed on the panel. At this time, the player can conveniently remove the dealing sequence from the gap between the dealing and drawing sequences. After the machine confirms that the card-dealing sequence has been taken, each card-adding mechanism restarts, and the card-raising plate continues to present the card-drawing sequence. In this way, the card-raising plate can present the card-dealing sequence and the card-drawing sequence in one descent and ascent. Compared with the first card-adding mode, the second card-adding mode is simpler, more efficient, and provides a better user experience. Moreover, since the card-raising plate only rises and falls once, the wear and tear on the various parts of the card-adding mechanism (especially the card-raising plate hinged to the main frame) is greatly reduced, significantly lowering both manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0063] (4) In addition to the first and second card-playing modes, the card-playing method of the present invention can also be compatible with the third card-playing mode, namely the traditional four-player game: the card-pushing head pushes the card stack in the card storage channel to the card plate at one time; players can select their preferred card-playing mode through the operation buttons on the operation panel, making the sloping card-playing mahjong machine of the present invention more playable and more widely appealing.

[0076] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0077] Example 1

[0078] This embodiment of a sloping mahjong machine includes a stacking pusher head 3 and a card-feeding mechanism, wherein the structure of the card-feeding mechanism is as follows: Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the device includes a frame 1, which has an arc-shaped storage channel 200 with a bending angle greater than 180°, a pusher component 4 for pushing mahjong tiles along the storage channel 200, and a lifter component 5 for lifting mahjong tiles onto the panel. The operation of the pusher component 4 and the lifter component 5 is controlled by a control component 6.

[0079] The pusher assembly 4 includes a pusher turntable 41 located in the center of the storage channel 200. The outer periphery of the pusher turntable 41 is fixed with a pusher head 42 extending into the storage channel 200. The pusher turntable 41 is connected to a pusher motor 43, which drives the pusher turntable 41 to rotate, so that the pusher head 42 can push mahjong tiles along the storage channel 200.

[0080] The tile-lifting assembly 5 includes a tile-lifting plate 51, one end of which is hinged to the frame 1, while the other end can be freely lifted. Driven by the tile-lifting motor 57, the tile-lifting plate 51 can rotate around its hinge point, thereby lifting the mahjong tiles in the tile storage channel 200 onto the panel. When the tile-lifting plate 51 is in a horizontal state, it is flush with the panel.

[0081] In this embodiment, the card pusher 42 has two card push strokes, and correspondingly, the card raising plate 51 also has two card raising operations. In the first card push and card raising operation, the card sequence required by the player at the start of the game is first sent to the panel, while the card drawing sequence required by the player during the game is sent to the panel in the second card push and card raising operation.

[0082] In order to accurately control the two card pushing and card raising operations, the control component 6 in this embodiment includes a main control module 61, and a first sensing module 62, a second sensing module 63 and a third sensing module 64 connected to the main control module 61.

[0083] The first sensing module 62 can be installed at the card inlet of the card storage channel 200 to directly detect the number of card stacks entering the card storage channel 200, thus confirming that all card stacks of the dealing sequence or the preset number of card stacks of the drawing sequence have completely entered the card storage channel 200. The first sensing module 62 can also be installed at the stacking head 3 to detect the number of cards already stacked by the stacking head 3, or at the end of the card delivery channel (500) used to deliver cards to the stacking head 3, to detect the number of cards delivered to the stacking head 3; because the number of stacked cards and the number of cards delivered correspond to the number of card stacks entering the card storage channel 200. Clearly, installing the first sensing module 62 at the card inlet of the card storage channel 200 provides a more accurate detection result for the number of card stacks entering the card storage channel 200.

[0084] The second sensing module 63 is installed at the card outlet of the card storage channel 200 to detect whether the dealing sequence or the drawing sequence has reached the card outlet and whether it is ready to raise the cards. The third sensing module 64 is installed on the card raising plate 51 to detect whether the dealing sequence has left the card raising plate 51. Only when the dealing sequence leaves the card raising plate 51 can the card raising plate 51 sink again to receive the drawing sequence. Obviously, the third sensing module 64 can also be installed on the necessary movement path of the dealing sequence.

[0085] In this embodiment, the first sensing module 62 can be a magnetic induction counter or an infrared sensor, the second sensing module 63 can be a pressure sensor, a magnetic sensor or an infrared sensor, and the third sensing module 64 can be a pressure sensor or a magnetic sensor.

[0086] The method for adding tiles to the sloping tile-dispensing mahjong machine in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0087] (1) The stacking pusher head 3 conveys the card-dealing sequence into the card storage channel 200;

[0088] The dealing sequence can be a single-layer sequence, a double-layer sequence, or a triple-layer sequence, and the number of mahjong tiles in the dealing sequence also matches the corresponding gameplay. This embodiment has no special requirements in this regard.

[0089] (2) Make the pusher head 42 run to the end of the card dealing sequence. When the pusher head 42 delivers the card dealing sequence to the card outlet of the card storage channel 200, make the stack pusher head 3 continue to deliver the card drawing sequence into the card storage channel 200.

[0090] Specifically, when the first sensing module 62 detects that the entire card dealing sequence has entered the card storage channel 200, the main control module 61 pauses the stacking pusher head 3 and starts the pusher motor 43, so that the pusher head 42 runs to the end of the card dealing sequence.

[0091] After the pusher 42 reaches the end of the dealing sequence, it does not stop pushing the tiles, but continues to push until the dealing sequence is pushed to the outlet of the storage channel 200. When the second sensing module 63 detects the first mahjong tile in the dealing sequence, the main control module 61 stops the pusher motor 43, and the dealing sequence waits at the outlet of the storage channel 200.

[0092] When the card pusher 42 reaches the end of the card dealing sequence, the main control module 61 also restarts the stacking pusher 3, which continues to deliver the card drawing sequence into the card storage channel 200.

[0093] (3) Lower the card-raising plate 51 and push the card-dealing sequence onto the card-raising plate 51 using the card-pushing head 42;

[0094] Specifically, when the first sensing module 62 detects that the entire card-drawing sequence has entered the card storage channel 200, the main control module 61 starts the card-lifting motor 57, causing the free end of the card-lifting plate 51 to sink down to connect with the card outlet of the card storage channel 200; at this time, the main control module 61 also starts the card-pushing motor 43 again, causing the card-pushing head 42 to push the card-dealing sequence onto the card-lifting plate 51;

[0095] (4) Raise the card-raising plate 51 to be flush with the panel, and after the card-dealing sequence leaves the card-raising plate 51, lower the card-raising plate 51 again.

[0096] At the same time, the card pusher 42 is rotated back to the starting point and the card drawing sequence is pushed to the card dispensing port of the card storage channel 200;

[0097] Specifically, after the entire dealing sequence is transferred to the lifting plate 51, the lifting motor 57 reverses, raising the free end of the lifting plate 51 to be flush with the panel. During this process, the pushing motor 43 does not stop working, and the pushing head 42 continues to rotate back to the card inlet of the starting card storage channel 200 after transferring the dealing sequence to the lifting plate 51, and pushes the drawing sequence to the card outlet of the card storage channel 200. The main control module 61 stops the pushing motor 43 only after the second sensing module 63 detects the first mahjong tile in the drawing sequence.

[0098] If the card-dealing sequence on the card-raising plate 51 is not removed, the card-raising plate 51 will always remain in a horizontal state; only when the third sensing module 64 detects that the card-dealing sequence has been removed will the main control module 61 start the card-raising motor 57 again, so that the free end of the card-raising plate 51 will sink down again to connect with the card outlet of the card storage channel 200.

[0099] (5) Push the card-drawing sequence onto the card-raising plate 51 by the card-pushing head 42, and then raise the card-raising plate 51 to be flush with the panel.

[0100] Specifically, after the free end of the card-raising plate 51 sinks into place, the main control module 61 restarts the card-pushing motor 43, causing the card-pushing head 42 to push the card-drawing sequence onto the card-raising plate 51. After the entire card-drawing sequence has been transferred onto the card-raising plate 51, the main control module 61 controls the card-raising motor 57 to reverse, causing the free end of the card-raising plate 51 to rise to be flush with the panel, until the end of a game.

[0101] After the card-pushing head 42 pushes all the cards in the sequence onto the card-raising plate 51, it continues to rotate back to the starting point. At this time, the main control module 61 pauses the card-pushing motor 43, and the card-pushing head 42 waits for the next card-dealing sequence to be pushed.

[0102] Example 2

[0103] This embodiment of a slope-dispensing mahjong machine has a structure that is basically the same as that of embodiment 1, except that the control component also includes a fifth sensing module 66 connected to the main control module. The fifth sensing module 66 is located in the card-dispensing channel 500 of the card-dispensing component and is used to monitor whether the number of hidden cards in the card-dispensing channel 500 has reached a preset value.

[0104] The main control module is used to receive the output signal of the fifth sensing module 66 and control the stacking pusher head, the pusher assembly and the lifter assembly to work according to the first card-handling mode or the second card-handling mode.

[0105] The fifth sensing module 66 can be a magnetic induction counter or an infrared sensor.

[0106] When the first sensing module detects that a preset number of drawing sequence tiles have been stored in the tile storage channel, the main control module pauses the stacking and pushing head; the tile delivery channel 500 begins to store tiles. When the fifth sensing module 66 detects that the number of stored tiles has reached the preset value, it sends a signal to the main control module. At this time, the stacking and pushing head restarts to stack tiles and pushes the last remaining drawing sequence tiles into the tile storage channel.

[0107] It should be noted that the number of tile stacks in this embodiment is at least one more than that in embodiment 4.

[0108] Example 3

[0109] This embodiment of a slope-operated mahjong machine has a structure that is basically the same as that of Embodiment 4 or 5, except that the card-lifting components at each side of the frame work synchronously. The structure of the card-lifting components is the same as that used in Embodiment 4 below.

[0110] Example 4

[0111] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, this embodiment of a sloping mahjong machine has the same basic structure as embodiment 4, including a frame 1. A shuffling tank 100 is formed in the center of the frame 1. The shuffling tank 100 is provided with a card feeding component 2, a stacking and pushing head 3, a card pushing component 4, and a card lifting component 5 on all four sides. The card feeding component 2 is used to pick up mahjong tiles from the shuffling tank 100 and send them to the stacking and pushing head 3 through the card feeding channel 500. The stacking and pushing head 3 is used to stack the mahjong tiles into piles and push them one by one into the storage channel 200. After all the piles are pushed into the storage channel 200, the card pushing component 4 pushes all the piles together into the card lifting component 5.

[0112] The structures of the card feeding component 2, the stacking pusher head 3, and the card pushing component 4 are the same as those in Embodiment 4, and are well known to those skilled in the art. Therefore, this embodiment will not elaborate further.

[0113] The difference is:

[0114] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the card-lifting assembly 5 includes card-lifting plates 51 hinged to the frame 1. In this embodiment, the card-lifting plates 51 located on all four sides of the frame 1 (only one side is shown in the figure) are driven by the same card-lifting drive unit to rise and fall synchronously. This is achieved by installing a ring-shaped linkage 52 on the frame 1. Each card-lifting plate 51 is linked to the ring-shaped linkage 52 via a transmission unit. Thus, the card-lifting drive unit can synchronously drive all card-lifting plates 51 by driving the ring-shaped linkage 52 or at least one transmission unit.

[0115] This embodiment uses the example of the lifting drive unit directly driving the annular linkage component 52 for further explanation. Figure 10 and Figure 11 As can be seen, the lifting drive unit includes a lifting motor (not shown in the figure), and a drive gear 53 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the lifting motor; while the annular linkage 52 is provided with a second transmission rack 52a that meshes with the drive gear 53. When the lifting motor is working, the annular linkage 52 will also rotate.

[0116] The transmission unit includes a swing member 54, the fixed end of which is hinged to the frame 1 via a shaft. A transmission gear 55 is also provided at the fixed end of the swing member 54, and a first transmission rack 52b meshing with the transmission gear 55 is provided on the annular linkage member 52. When the lifting plate drive unit drives the annular linkage member 52 to rotate, the free end of the swing member 54 will swing. The free end of the swing member 54 has a lifting plate bearing, and a lifting plate curved groove 56 is formed at the bottom of the lifting plate 51. The lifting plate bearing is inserted into the lifting plate curved groove 56 and rolls or slides within it. When the swing member 54 swings, the lifting plate bearing rolls or slides along the lifting plate curved groove 56, thereby causing the lifting plate 51 to descend or rise.

[0117] It can be seen that the swing amplitude of the swinging component 54 is not large, so the first transmission rack 52b and the second transmission rack 52a are not long either. Accordingly, the driving gear 53 and the transmission gear 55 can be either complete gears or incomplete gears.

[0118] Meanwhile, the first transmission rack 52b and the second transmission rack 52a can be on the same plane of the annular linkage 52 or on different planes, depending on the layout of the internal structure of the frame 1. In this embodiment, the output shaft of the card-lifting motor is located above the card-feeding assembly 2, and the transmission gear 55 cannot be too close to the card-lifting plate 51. Therefore, the first transmission rack 52b and the transmission gear 55 are set lower, while the second transmission rack 52a and the drive gear 53 are set higher.

[0119] The top surface of the frame 1 is provided with a panel 7, on which four card outlets 71 are opened, and each card lifting plate 51 is located at the corresponding card outlet 71. When the card lifting plate 51 is lowered, it is set at an angle to the panel 7; when the card lifting plate 51 is raised, it is flush with the top surface of the panel 7.

[0120] In this embodiment, the tile stacks in the tile storage channel 200 are not sent to the panel 7 all at once, but are delivered in two stages: the first stage is the dealing sequence, which is the mahjong tiles needed by the player at the start of the game; the dealing sequence can consist of tile stacks or a single layer of mahjong tiles; the second stage is the drawing sequence, which is the mahjong tiles for the player to draw during the game; the drawing sequence usually consists of tile stacks.

[0121] Therefore, by Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As can be seen, a card-dealing sequence storage area 300 is also formed on panel 7, which is adjacent to the card-dealing opening 71. This card-dealing sequence storage area 300 is used to store the card-dealing sequence when the first card is dealt. When the second card is dealt, the card-drawing sequence will, in most cases, partially or completely occupy the card-dealing sequence storage area 300, but this is not always the case.

[0122] The card-dealing sequence storage area 300 is equipped with at least one fourth sensing module 65. This fourth sensing module 65, along with the aforementioned card-lifting assembly 5 and card-pushing assembly 4, are all connected to the main control module 61. The function of the fourth sensing module 65 is to monitor whether the card-dealing sequence has reached the panel 7 during the first card dealing, but it does not operate during the second card dealing. Because the card-lifting plate 51 is angled relative to the panel 7 when it descends, the fourth sensing module 65 cannot detect card-dealing sequences that are on the card-lifting plate 51; it only detects the card-dealing sequence when it reaches the panel 7.

[0123] When the fourth sensing module 65 detects that the card dealing sequence has left the card raising plate 51 and arrived at the panel 7, it will send a signal to the main control module 61. After receiving the signal, the main control module 61 will pause the card pushing action of the card pushing component 4. After the player moves the card dealing sequence away, the main control module 61 will restart the card pushing component 4, and the card pushing component 4 will continue to push the card drawing sequence. After the entire card drawing sequence has been pushed onto the card raising plate 51, the main control module 61 will start the card raising component 5 to raise the card raising plate 51 (before this, the card raising plate 51 is always in a downward state).

[0124] As can be seen, once the entire dealing sequence reaches panel 7, a gap is formed between the dealing sequence and the tile stacks or mahjong tiles on the tile-raising plate 51, allowing players to easily move the dealing sequence without accidentally touching the drawing sequence.

[0125] like Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, the card dealing sequence storage area 300 is positioned close to, at, or beyond the center line of panel 7, to ensure that the card dealing sequence is closer to the player and easier to move. Furthermore, the rightward shift of the card dealing sequence storage area 300 is achieved by shortening the length of the card-raising plate 51. When the length of the card-raising plate 51 is shortened, the time required for the card dealing sequence to travel from the storage channel 200 to panel 7 is also reduced, giving the player more time to organize the card dealing sequence.

[0126] Since this embodiment uses the feedback signal of the fourth sensing module 65 to control the operation of the card pushing component 4, the card raising plate 51 does not need to rise to deliver the card dealing sequence, nor does it need to fall to receive the card drawing sequence. During the entire card raising process, the card raising plate 51 only falls and rises once. The intermediate pause time of the card pushing component 4 is short. As long as the player moves the card dealing sequence, the card pushing component 4 can immediately resume its operation. This not only saves the time required for card dealing and card raising, but also extends the service life of the card raising component 5 (especially the hinge structure between the card raising plate 51 and the frame 1). At the same time, compared with the existing mahjong machine structure, the modification is small, and the mold opening cost is greatly reduced.

[0127] To control the size of the mahjong machine, the length of the card storage channel 200 in existing mahjong machines is basically set to "full load," meaning the total length of the card stacks is roughly equivalent to the length of the card storage channel 200. However, in this embodiment, the card pushing component 4 pushes the cards at the very end of the dealing and drawing sequences, rather than inserting them between the dealing and drawing sequences. Therefore, the card pushing component 4 does not occupy space within the card storage channel 200. This allows users to choose between the traditional four-player mahjong machine method of pushing all the card stacks onto the panel 7 at once, or the method of the present invention where the dealing sequence is pushed first and then the drawing sequence, resulting in a better customer experience.

[0128] It should be noted that the working mode of the tile-pushing component 4 in this invention is not unique due to the size of the mahjong tiles. When the mahjong tiles are large, after the dealing sequence reaches the panel 7, the drawing sequence may not have been fully pushed onto the tile-raising plate 51. In this case, after the player moves the dealing sequence, the tile-pushing component 4 will continue to push the tiles until the entire drawing sequence is pushed onto the tile-raising plate 51, at which point the tile-raising plate 51 will rise. The tile-pushing component 4 will then return to its original position to wait for the next tile push. However, when the mahjong tiles are small, after the dealing sequence reaches the panel 7, the drawing sequence may have already been fully pushed onto the tile-raising plate 51. In this case, after the player moves the dealing sequence, the main control module 61 will simultaneously start the tile-pushing component 4 and the tile-raising component 5. The tile-pushing component 4 will directly return to its original position to wait for the next tile push, while the tile-raising component 5's tile-raising plate 51 will directly rise.

[0129] The fourth sensing module 65 that can be used in this embodiment is of various types. For example, this embodiment uses a magnetic induction counter. The magnetic induction counter can count the mahjong tiles that pass by it, and then the main control module 61 can determine whether the dealing sequence has been completely transferred to the panel 7 based on its counting result.

[0130] In this case, a better solution is to place the magnetic induction counter at one end of the card dealing sequence storage area 300 near the card dispensing port 71 (e.g., Figure 10 As shown), it corresponds to the position of the last stack of tiles or the last mahjong tile in the dealing sequence; thus, when the first stack of tiles or the first mahjong tile in the dealing sequence enters the dealing sequence storage area 300, the magnetic induction counter starts counting. When the count reaches the preset value, it sends a feedback signal to the main control module 61, and the main control module 61 then pauses the tile pushing component 4.

[0131] The magnetic induction counter can also be set in other locations within the card dealing sequence storage area 300, as long as the location matches the quantity to be counted. Multiple magnetic induction counters can also be set. In this case, the main control module 61 can compare the counting data of multiple magnetic induction counters and then control the card pushing component 4 based on the comparison result.

[0132] like Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, the magnetic induction counter is configured as follows: a thin protective cover 11 is integrally formed on the frame 1. The thin protective cover 11 has a U-shaped cross-section, thus forming a accommodating space 400 between the thin protective cover 11 and the frame 1 to accommodate the magnetic induction counter, thereby protecting the magnetic induction counter. The size of the accommodating space 400 can be equivalent to or larger than the magnetic induction counter; this embodiment has no special requirements in this regard, as long as it is ensured that the magnetic induction counter is installed on the top wall of the accommodating space 400.

[0133] Meanwhile, a through-hole 72 is opened at the corresponding position of the panel 7; when the panel 7 covers the frame 1, the thin cover 11 is inserted into the through-hole 72, and the top surface of the thin cover 11 is flush with the top surface of the panel 7. The thickness of the thin cover 11 is smaller than that of the panel 7, so the magnetic induction counter is closer to the plane where the top surface of the panel 7 is located, and can detect the mahjong tiles more sensitively.

[0134] The module connection diagram of the ramp-type mahjong machine in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 12 As shown. From Figure 12 As can be seen, the control component 6 also includes an operation panel 67 connected to the main control module 61. The operation panel 67 is equipped with operation buttons, through which the user can select the preferred license plate mode.

[0135] The working principle of the inclined card-dispensing mahjong machine in this embodiment (see process) Figure 5 )for:

[0136] When the user selects the first license plate issuance mode via the operation button, the main control module 61 communicates with the fifth sensing module 66, the first sensing module 62, the second sensing module 63 and the third sensing module 64 to carry out the license plate issuance operation in the same way as in embodiment 4.

[0137] When the user selects the second license plate issuance mode via the operation button, the main control module 61 communicates with the fifth sensing module 66, the first sensing module 62, and the fourth sensing module to implement the license plate issuance operation using the following method:

[0138] The card delivery component 2 picks up mahjong tiles from the shuffling barrel 100 and sends them to the stacking and pushing head 3. The stacking and pushing head 3 stacks the mahjong tiles into piles. Taking 18 piles per side as an example, the stacking and pushing head 3 first stacks at least 15 piles, and then the card pushing component 4 pushes the piles one by one into the card storage channel 200.

[0139] The remaining mahjong tiles are temporarily stored in the corresponding delivery channel 500 after being absorbed. After at least six remaining mahjong tiles are stored in all four delivery channels (500) (i.e., "hidden tiles", monitored by the fifth sensing module 66), the stacking and pushing machine head 3 quickly stacks the tiles in a short time. After the pushing component 4 pushes these tiles into the storage channel 200, the main control module 61 simultaneously starts the four lifting components 5. Each lifting plate 51 descends at the same time, and the pushing component 4 pushes all the tiles at the end of the queue.

[0140] When the card sequence at the head of the queue is transferred from the card-raising plate 51 to the panel 7, the magnetic induction counter starts counting the number of card stacks passing by it. When the count is consistent with the preset number, the main control module 61 pauses the card-pushing component 4, and the card-raising plate 51 remains in a downward state. At this time, the card-raising plate 51 has stored some or all of the card-drawing sequences. The player moves the card sequence in the card sequence storage area 300 to the front of him.

[0141] At this time, the magnetic induction counter detects that there are no more mahjong tiles in the tile-dealing sequence storage area 300, and sends a signal to the main control module 61. The main control module 61 restarts the tile-pushing component 4, pushing the remaining tile-drawing sequence in the tile storage channel 200 onto the tile-lifting plate 51. At this time, the main control module 61 starts the tile-lifting motor of the tile-lifting component 5. Under the meshing transmission of the transmission gear 55 and the second transmission rack 52a, the annular linkage 52 rotates. Under the meshing transmission of the first transmission rack 52b and the transmission gear 55, the swinging component 54 swings. The free end of the swinging component 54 pushes the tile-lifting plate 51 upward, making it rise to be flush with the panel 7. At this time, the entire module sequence is also sent onto the panel 7. At the same time, the tile-pushing component 4 returns to its original position to wait for the next round of tile pushing.

[0142] If the card-drawing sequence has been completely transferred to the card-raising plate 51 when the card-dealing sequence reaches the panel 7, then after the main control module 61 starts the card-pushing component 4, the card-pushing component 4 will directly return to its original position.

[0143] When the user selects the third card-playing mode via the operation button, the main control module only communicates with the fifth sensing module 66 and the first sensing module 62, and implements the card-playing operation using the traditional four-player machine method.

[0144] Example 5

[0145] This embodiment of a slope-operated mahjong machine has a structure that is basically the same as that of embodiment 4, except that the fourth sensing module 65 used is a pressure sensor.

[0146] At this time, it is preferable to set the pressure sensor at one end of the card dealing sequence storage area 300 away from the card dispensing port 71, corresponding to the position of the first card stack or the first card in the card dealing sequence, to detect whether the first card stack or the first card in the card dealing sequence has reached the corresponding position.

[0147] Example 6

[0148] This embodiment of a slope-operated mahjong machine has a structure that is basically the same as that of embodiment 4, except that the fourth sensing module 65 used is a magnetic sensor.

[0149] A magnetic sensor can be set up, which can be located at the end of the card dealing sequence storage area 300 away from the card dispensing port 71, corresponding to the position of the first stack of cards or the first card in the card dealing sequence; in this way, when the pressure sensor or the magnetic sensor detects a mahjong tile, it means that the first stack of cards or the first card in the card dealing sequence has reached the predetermined position, indicating that the entire card dealing sequence is in place; the magnetic sensor can also be located at the end of the card dealing sequence storage area 300 closer to the card dispensing port 71, corresponding to the position of the last stack of cards or the last card in the card dealing sequence; in this case, the magnetic sensor sends a signal once every time it detects a stack of cards or a mahjong tile, and the main control module 61 can control the card pushing component 4 according to the number of signals received.

[0150] Multiple magnetic sensors can be set, and the main control module 61 can also compare multiple sets of sensing data to ensure accurate control.

[0151] Example 7

[0152] This embodiment is a slope-type mahjong machine, whose structure is basically the same as that of embodiment 4, except that the card dealing sequence is a single layer of mahjong tiles.

[0153] Example 8

[0154] This embodiment of a slope-driven mahjong machine has a structure that is basically the same as that of embodiment 4, except that the card-raising components 5 are not linked together and are driven by an independent card-raising drive unit.

[0155] Example 9

[0156] This embodiment of a slope-driven mahjong machine has a structure that is basically the same as that of embodiment 4, except that the stacking head 3 continuously stacks cards and there is no operation of hiding cards in the card delivery channel 500.
