It should be noted that, without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0025] It should be noted that the diagrams provided in the following embodiments only illustrate the basic concept of the present utility model in a schematic manner. Therefore, only the components related to the present utility model are shown in the diagrams, rather than being drawn according to the number, shape, and size of the components in actual implementation. The type, quantity, and ratio of each component in actual implementation can be arbitrarily changed, and the component layout type may also be more complex.

[0026] In all the directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, horizontal, vertical...) in the embodiments of the present utility model, they are only used to explain the relative position relationship and movement conditions between components in a certain specific posture. If this specific posture changes, then the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0027] Due to reasons such as installation errors, the parallel relationship referred to in the embodiments of the present utility model may actually be an approximate parallel relationship, and the vertical relationship may actually be an approximate vertical relationship.

[0028] The present utility model provides an operation panel and a mahjong machine. Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the operation panel 1 is arranged at the central position of the mahjong machine tabletop. A visible dice pocket is arranged at the center of the operation panel 1, and a plurality of physical buttons are also arranged on the operation panel 1 outside the periphery of the dice pocket.

[0029] Referring to Figure 3 , the dice pocket includes a pocket part 4 that is recessed downward from the surface of the operation panel 1 for accommodating a plurality of dice. The pocket part 4 is fixedly connected to the operation panel 1. The pocket part 4 has an upward opening. The visualization of the dice pocket is realized by covering a transparent plate 3 at the opening of the pocket part 4. The transparent plate 3 closes the opening of the pocket part 4 to prevent the dice from jumping out. The material of the transparent plate 3 includes but is not limited to glass, plastic, etc., so that users can clearly view the dice points inside.

[0030] To fix the positions of the transparent plate 3 and the pocket part 4, and prevent the transparent plate 3 from shifting or moving around after installation, the transparent plate 3 is further fixed by a cover plate 2. The transparent plate 3 is preferably circular in structure. A circular through-hole 21 is provided at the middle 242 of the cover plate 2. The diameter of the through-hole 21 is smaller than that of the transparent plate 3, so that when the cover plate 2 is installed, it is stacked on the transparent plate 3, and the part of the transparent plate 3 exposed through the through-hole 21 is for users to view. A circumferential installation mating groove 12 is provided on the pocket part 4 or the cover plate 2 to be nested and mated with the circumference of the transparent plate 3 to limit the horizontal displacement of the transparent plate 3. Further, the cover plate 2 is connected to the operation panel 1. When the connection is in place, the transparent plate 3 is pressed against the pocket part 4 to limit the movement of the transparent plate 3.

[0031] During long-term use, regular maintenance and cleaning are necessary for the dice pocket. In this embodiment, the cover plate 2 and the operation panel 1 are detachably connected.

[0032] Specifically, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , a first connection part 22 and a second connection part are provided at the bottom of the cover plate 2. The first connection part 22 and the second connection part are respectively arranged at both ends on the central axis of the cover plate 2. The cover plate 2 can include but is not limited to square, circular and other shape structures with a central axis. During installation, the cover plate 2 is sequentially connected and installed to the operation panel 1 through the first connection part 22 and the second connection part.

[0033] A groove 11 for accommodating the cover plate 2 is recessed on the operation panel 1. The shape of the groove 11 is the same as or similar to the outer peripheral shape profile of the cover plate 2, and the size is slightly larger than that of the cover plate 2. Thus, the cover plate 2 can be located within the groove 11, and the surface of the cover plate 2 is flush with the surface of the operation panel 1.

[0034] The first connection part 22 is a hook part with an L-shaped cross-section. A slot 13 for inserting the hook part of the first connection part 22 is provided on the corresponding side of the groove 11. After the hook part enters the slot 13, the slot 13 forms a limit on the upper part of the hook part.

[0035] The second connecting portion includes a slot 23 and a soft buckle 24. The slot 23 is a C-shaped structure with an opening downward. The soft buckle 24 includes a head 243, a middle portion 242 and a tail 241. The tail 241 is clamped in the slot 23 to achieve fixation. The middle portion 242 extends downward from the bottom of the tail 241 to form a columnar structure. The head 243 is connected to the bottom end of the middle portion 242. The head 243 is an inverted cone structure, and the radial width of the cone is greater than the width of the middle portion 242. A through plug hole 14 is provided on the corresponding side of the groove 11. The radial width of the plug hole 14 is slightly greater than that of the middle portion 24 2, and is smaller than the width of the head 243. The soft buckle 24 is made of elastic material as a whole, including but not limited to resin, rubber, etc. During installation, the soft buckle 24 passes downward through the plug hole 14. The soft rubber material of the soft buckle 24 enables the inverted cone-shaped head 243 to be easily deformed to squeeze through the plug hole 14. After the head 243 completely passes through the plug hole 14, the head 243 restores its shape and makes its conical bottom surface against the bottom surface of the plug hole 14, so that the head 243 cannot easily pass through the plug hole 14 in the reverse direction, and then the cover plate 2 and the operation panel 1 are fixed here by the soft buckle 24.

[0036] When installing the cover plate 2 , the first connecting portion 22 is installed first, and then the second connecting portion is installed, thereby completing the installation of the entire cover plate 2 on the operation panel 1 .

[0037] A notch 25 is provided at the edge of the cover plate 2, and the notch 25 is close to the position of the second connecting part, so that the user can hold the notch 25 with fingers or other tools to apply an upward force to the cover plate 2. When the cover plate 2 needs to be removed, the second connecting part is first acted on. The user holds the notch 25 to lift the cover plate 2 close to the second connecting part, and by applying a greater force, the head 243 of the soft buckle 24 is deformed so as to pass through the plug hole 14, so that the second connecting part is separated from the operation panel 1. Secondly, the cover plate 2 is moved laterally to make the first connecting part 22 out of the slot 13, thereby realizing the removal of the cover plate 2.

[0038] It should be added that in order to ensure that the soft buckle 24 is installed in place on the card slot 23 to avoid loosening during use, refer to Figure 6As shown, the release is fitted into the slot 23 along direction a (i.e., the direction of the lateral opening of the slot 23), and the four corners of the tail 241 of the soft buckle 24 are provided with protrusions 244, so that when the tail 241 cooperates with the inner wall of the slot 23, the four protrusions 244 are buckled on the outer wall of the slot 23, forming a limit in direction a for the release to prevent lateral disengagement, and at the same time, the C-shaped structure of the slot 23 also forms a bottom limit for the release to prevent vertical disengagement; further, a stopper 26 is provided on one side of the slot 23 in direction a, and when the release is installed into the slot 23 from the other side, the release will be against the stopper 26 after being installed in place, so that the user cannot continue to push the release, forming feedback for the user to know that the release and the slot 23 are installed in place.

[0039] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
