[0002] The main functions of a mahjong machine include automatic shuffling, card delivery, card stacking, etc. These functions greatly save the time and energy of players, making the mahjong game more convenient and efficient.

[0003] The shuffling large plate is an important part of a mahjong machine. Its structure is like a shuffling large plate and a mahjong machine disclosed in the Chinese Patent Library (Application No.: 202322273481.0), which includes a conical area and an annular flat area arranged around the conical area. A plurality of guiding strips are convexly arranged on the upper surface of the conical area. The guiding strips are inclined in the radial direction of the conical area, and all the guiding strips are inclined to the same side in the radial direction; the shuffling large plate includes a large plate body and a flannelette layer covering the large plate body. The large plate body includes a conical body and an annular flat body arranged around the conical body. The flannelette layer includes a conical flannelette layer covering the conical body and an annular flat flannelette layer covering the annular flat body. The guiding strips are arranged on the conical body and protrude from the upper surface of the conical flannelette layer.

[0004] In the above shuffling large plate, the conical flannelette layer is linearly covered along the waist line of the conical area, and it is easy to have insufficient adhesive strength, resulting in wrinkles in the conical flannelette layer, which hinders the sliding of mahjong tiles downward and affects the normal operation of the mahjong machine. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to address the above problems existing in the prior art and propose a shuffling large plate of a mahjong machine that can ensure the smooth sliding of mahjong tiles.

[0006] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved by the following technical solutions: A shuffling large plate of a mahjong machine includes a skeleton and a flannelette layer both in a ring shape. The skeleton includes a sliding section in a conical shape and a card-flipping section in a flat shape connected to the bottom of the sliding section. The flannelette layer is composed of an upper flannelette layer covering the outer side surface of the sliding section and a lower flannelette layer covering the top surface of the card-flipping section. Its characteristics are that the upper flannelette layer and the lower flannelette layer are independently arranged; the upper flannelette layer is composed of a circle of upper fan-shaped sections evenly distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction of the skeleton. A circle of upper fan-shaped sections are bent in sequence along the circumferential direction of the skeleton, and the gap between adjacent two upper fan-shaped sections is smaller than the width of a mahjong tile.

[0007] The flannelette layer is divided into an upper flannelette layer and a lower flannelette layer that are independent of each other, which can effectively avoid the wrinkles of the flannelette layer at the junction of the sliding section and the card-flipping section; at the same time, the upper flannelette layer is divided into a circle of evenly spaced upper fan-shaped sections, and the circle of upper fan-shaped sections is bent along the circumferential direction of the skeleton, so that the upper fan-shaped sections always have a tendency to be straightened, thereby avoiding the generation of wrinkles on the upper flannelette layer, ensuring that the mahjong tiles falling onto the upper flannelette layer smoothly slide down to the card-flipping section, and ensuring the stable operation of the mahjong tiles.

[0008] In the above-mentioned shuffling large plate of the mahjong machine, the lower flannelette layer is composed of a circle of lower fan-shaped sections that are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction of the skeleton, and the gap between two adjacent lower fan-shaped sections is smaller than the width of the mahjong tile. The lower flannelette layer is divided into a circle of independent and spaced lower fan-shaped sections, which can avoid the wrinkles of the lower flannelette layer, make the mahjong tiles slide smoothly at the card-flipping section, and further enhance the operation stability of the mahjong machine.

[0009] In the above-mentioned shuffling large plate of the mahjong machine, the lower fan-shaped section extends upward to the sliding section, making the junction of the flannelette layer at the sliding section and the card-flipping section smoother, and further ensuring the sliding of the mahjong tiles.

[0010] In the above-mentioned shuffling large plate of the mahjong machine, there is a gap between the lower fan-shaped section and the upper flannelette layer, and the gap between the lower fan-shaped section and the upper flannelette layer is smaller than the width of the mahjong tile, so that the upper flannelette layer and the lower flannelette layer do not contact each other, which is beneficial to the installation of the two.

[0011] In the above-mentioned shuffling large plate of the mahjong machine, the axial section of the side wall of the sliding section is in an inward concave arc shape, so that the flannelette layer forms a concave contact with the sliding section, effectively increasing the adhesion of the flannelette layer on the sliding section, making the flannelette layer not easy to fall off, and strengthening the structural stability of the large plate.

[0012] In the above-mentioned shuffling large plate of the mahjong machine, the number of the upper fan-shaped sections and the lower fan-shaped sections is the same and their positions correspond one by one, making the overall arrangement of the flannelette layer more uniform and beneficial to the sliding of the mahjong tiles.

[0013] In the above-mentioned shuffling large plate of the mahjong machine, a toothed ring is formed at the middle position of the inner wall of the sliding section, and the toothed ring is coaxially arranged with the skeleton. The setting of the toothed ring is used for the overall drive of the large plate and can also strengthen the strength of the side wall of the skeleton, making the structure of the large plate more stable.

[0014] In the above-mentioned shuffling large plate of the mahjong machine, a circle of triangular reinforcing ribs is formed between the outer peripheral surface of the toothed ring and the inner side surface of the sliding section to simultaneously strengthen the strength of the toothed ring and the skeleton.

[0015] In the above-mentioned shuffling large plate of the mahjong machine, a ring-shaped bearing seat is formed on the inner side of the top of the sliding section, and the bearing seat is coaxially arranged with the skeleton. With the above design, it is convenient for the rotation and installation of the large plate.

[0016] In the above-mentioned shuffling large plate of the mahjong machine, the axial section of the bearing seat is in an L shape, which is beneficial to the installation of the bearing.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the shuffling platen of this mahjong machine has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. The flannel layer is divided into an upper flannel layer and a lower flannel layer that are independent of each other, which can effectively avoid wrinkles at the connection between the sliding section and the card-flipping section; at the same time, the upper flannel layer is divided into a circle of evenly spaced upper fan-shaped sections, and the circle of upper fan-shaped sections is bent along the circumferential direction of the framework, so that the upper fan-shaped sections always have a tendency to be straightened, thereby avoiding wrinkles on the upper flannel layer, ensuring that the mahjong tiles falling onto the upper flannel layer slide smoothly to the card-flipping section, and ensuring the stable operation of the mahjong tiles.

[0019] 2. The lower flannel layer is divided into a circle of lower fan-shaped sections that are independent of each other and spaced apart, which can avoid wrinkles on the lower flannel layer, make the mahjong tiles slide smoothly at the card-flipping section, and further enhance the operating stability of the mahjong machine.

[0020] 3. The axial section of the side wall of the sliding section is in an inwardly concave arc shape, so that the flannel layer forms a concave contact with the sliding section, effectively increasing the adhesion of the flannel layer on the sliding section, making the flannel layer not easy to fall off, and strengthening the structural stability of the platen.

[0026] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and in combination with the accompanying drawings, the technical solutions of the present invention will be further described, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0027] As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the shuffling platen of this mahjong machine includes a framework 1 and a flannel layer that are both annular. Among them, the material of the flannel layer is the existing one, which will not be elaborated here, and in the actual product, the flannel layer is fixed on the outer side surface of the framework 1 by a bonding method.

[0028] Specifically,

[0029] The framework 1 includes a conical sliding section 1a and a turning plate section 1b which is connected to the bottom of the sliding section 1a and is in the shape of a flat plate, and the sliding section 1a and the turning plate section 1b are coaxially arranged.

[0030] The flannel layer is composed of an upper flannel layer 2 covering the outer side surface of the sliding section 1a and a lower flannel layer 3 covering the top surface of the turning plate section 1b, and the upper flannel layer 2 and the lower flannel layer 3 are independently arranged.

[0031] Among them, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, the upper flannel layer 2 is composed of a circle of upper sector segments 2a evenly distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction of the framework 1. A circle of upper sector segments 2a is bent in sequence along the circumferential direction of the framework 1, and the gap between adjacent upper sector segments 2a is smaller than the width of the mahjong tile. Dividing the flannel layer into the independent upper flannel layer 2 and lower flannel layer 3 can effectively avoid the wrinkles of the flannel layer at the connection of the sliding section 1a and the turning plate section 1b; at the same time, the upper flannel layer 2 is divided into a circle of evenly distributed upper sector segments 2a, and a circle of upper sector segments 2a is bent along the circumferential direction of the framework 1, so that the upper sector segments 2a always have a tendency to be straightened, thereby avoiding the generation of wrinkles on the upper flannel layer 2, ensuring that the mahjong tiles falling onto the upper flannel layer 2 smoothly slide to the turning plate section, and ensuring the stable operation of the mahjong tiles.

[0032] The lower flannel layer 3 is composed of a circle of lower sector segments 3a evenly distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction of the framework 1, and the gap between adjacent lower sector segments 3a is smaller than the width of the mahjong tile. Dividing the lower flannel layer 3 into a circle of independent and spaced lower sector segments 3a can avoid the wrinkles of the lower flannel layer 3, enabling the mahjong tiles to slide smoothly at the turning plate section 1b, and further enhancing the operation stability of the mahjong machine. Further explanation, the lower sector segments 3a extend upward to the sliding section 1a, making the connection between the sliding section 1a and the turning plate section 1b of the flannel layer smoother, and further ensuring the sliding of the mahjong tiles. There is a gap between the lower sector segments 3a and the upper flannel layer 2, and the gap between the lower sector segments 3a and the upper flannel layer 2 is smaller than the width of the mahjong tile, so that the upper flannel layer 2 and the lower flannel layer 3 do not contact, which is conducive to their installation.

[0033] Preferably, the number of the upper sector segments 2a and the lower sector segments 3a is the same and their positions correspond one by one, making the overall arrangement of the flannel layer more uniform and conducive to the sliding of the mahjong tiles.

[0034] As Figure 3 shown, the axial cross-section of the side wall of the sliding section 1a is in the shape of an inward concave arc, making the flannel layer form a concave contact with the sliding section 1a, effectively increasing the adhesion of the flannel layer on the sliding section 1a, making the flannel layer not easy to fall off, and strengthening the stability of the large plate structure.

[0035] As Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a gear ring 1a1 is formed at the middle position of the inner wall of the sliding section 1a, and the gear ring 1a1 is coaxially arranged with the framework 1. The setting of the gear ring 1a1 is used for the overall driving of the large disc and can also strengthen the side wall strength of the framework 1, making the structure of the large disc more stable. Further explanation, a circle of triangular reinforcing ribs 1a2 is formed between the outer peripheral surface of the gear ring 1a1 and the inner side surface of the sliding section 1a to strengthen the strength of both the gear ring 1a1 and the framework 1 at the same time. An annular bearing seat 1a3 is formed on the inner side of the top of the sliding section 1a, and the bearing seat 1a3 is coaxially arranged with the framework 1 to facilitate the rotary installation of the large disc. Preferably, the axial section of the bearing seat 1a3 is L-shaped, which is beneficial to the installation of the bearing.

[0036] In the actual product, a rubber block 4 is also fixed on the outer edge of the top surface of the card-flipping section 1b, and the above rubber block 4 is arranged in the gap between two adjacent lower fan-shaped sections 3a.

[0037] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains can make various modifications or supplements to the described specific embodiments or use similar ways to substitute them, but will not deviate from the spirit of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.
