[0038] Example 1
[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The support device 100 for the mahjong machine and the mahjong machine provided in the embodiments of this utility model can solve the above problems, and will be described in detail below.
[0040] The support device 100 for the mahjong machine includes a fixing part 110 and a supporting part 120. The fixing part 110 has a first end 111 and a second end 112 disposed opposite to each other. At least one of the first end 111 and the second end 112 is snapped together with the supporting part 120. The fixing part 110 and the supporting part 120 are used to form a clamping cavity 190 when connected. The clamping cavity 190 is used to clamp the table leg of the mahjong machine. The supporting part 120 is used to support an ashtray or a teacup.
[0041] During assembly and disassembly, a snap-fit connection is introduced to replace the existing threaded connection, which facilitates the connection or separation of the fixing part 110 and the bearing part 120, thereby improving the efficiency of assembly and disassembly.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3The support portion 120 has a third end 121 and a fourth end 122 spaced apart from each other. The third end 121 is provided corresponding to the first end 111, and the fourth end 122 is provided corresponding to the second end 112.
[0043] Specifically, the first end 111 can be snapped together with the third end 121; and the connection between the second end 112 and the fourth end 122 can be snapped together, rotated together, or riveted.
[0044] It should be noted that snap-fit connections, swivel connections, and riveting all improve assembly and disassembly efficiency compared to threaded connections. Furthermore, snap-fit connections involve an interference fit at both ends, meaning the insert end can engage with the receiving end even with slight deformation; this can also be understood as a snap-fit connection.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Regarding the snap-fit connection, one of the first end 111 and the third end 121 may have an elastic locking block 130, and the other may have a locking groove 140. The elastic locking block 130 is used to abut against the locking groove 140. In this embodiment, the elastic locking block 130 is formed at the first end 111, and the locking groove 140 is formed at the third end 121. Furthermore, the elastic locking block 130 is a portion of the end face of the first end 111 that protrudes outward.
[0046] Specifically, the elastic locking block 130 includes a protrusion 131 and a spring piece 132. One end of the spring piece 132 is connected to the protrusion 131, and the other end of the spring piece 132 protrudes from the protrusion 131 and is used to abut against the locking groove 140.
[0047] During the snap-fit connection, the protrusion 131 can drive the spring piece 132 to extend into the snap groove 140. During the process of entering the snap groove 140, the spring piece 132 will be compressed to avoid obstructing the process of entering the snap groove 140. After reaching the connection position, the spring piece 132 will spring up under the influence of its own elastic force to hold against the snap groove 140, thereby generating frictional resistance for the protrusion 131 to drive the spring piece 132 to disengage from the snap groove 140.
[0048] Furthermore, the protrusion 131 can be a hollow structure, with the spring piece 132 located inside the hollow of the protrusion 131 and extending from the front end of the protrusion 131 toward the rear end. The rear end face of the spring piece 132 is higher than the front end face, which serves to guide the spring piece during its entry into the slot 140.
[0049] In this embodiment, to improve the locking effect and facilitate pressing the spring piece 132 when the fixing part 110 is loosened, a limiting hole 142 is provided on the side wall of the latching groove 140. The spring piece 132 in the elastic block 130 is used to hold against the limiting hole 142. When connected in place, the spring piece 132 will spring into the limiting hole 142. The side wall of the limiting hole 142 can limit the rear end face of the spring piece 132 to improve the locking effect. When it is necessary to loosen the fixing part 110, the operator can manually press the spring piece 132 through the limiting hole 142 to squeeze the spring piece 132 into the latching groove 140, thereby facilitating the protrusion 131 to drive the spring piece 132 out of the latching groove 140.
[0050] Of course, in other embodiments of this utility model, the sidewall of the buckle groove 140 can be a solid structure, and part of the elastic block 130 is used to abut against the sidewall of the buckle groove 140.
[0051] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In terms of the rotatable connection, one of the second end 112 and the fourth end 122 may be formed with a disc 150, and the other may be formed with an arc-shaped buckle 160, which is rotatably fitted onto the disc 150.
[0052] In this embodiment, the disc 150 is formed at the fourth end 122, and the arc-shaped buckle 160 is formed at the second end 112. The two can be rotated together to move the first end 111 closer to or away from the third end 121.
[0053] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the fitting of the arc-shaped buckle 160 onto the disc 150 or its removal from the disc 150, the arc-shaped buckle 160 may have a notch 162. The design of the notch 162 helps to improve the elastic force of the arc-shaped buckle 160 itself.
[0054] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped buckle 160 includes two arc-shaped pieces, which are flush with the upper and lower end faces of the fixing part 110, respectively, and the notch 162 passes through both arc-shaped pieces. Similarly, the number of discs 150 can be two, with the two discs 150 located on the upper and lower end faces of the fourth end 122 of the supporting part 120, respectively, and the two arc-shaped pieces respectively fitted onto the two discs 150.
[0055] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In order to limit the rotational opening of the fixing part 110 to be too large, the fourth end 122 can also form a limiting step 152, which is used to hold the fixing part 110 and play a limiting role.
[0056] Furthermore, in order to improve the versatility of the support device 100 for the mahjong machine and avoid the inability to clamp and fix due to the mismatch between the size of the clamping cavity 190 and the table leg, the support device 100 for the mahjong machine may also include an inner liner. The inner liner is housed in the clamping cavity 190 and is used to support the table leg, thereby making it easier for the support device 100 for the mahjong machine to be clamped on table legs of different shapes and sizes.
[0057] Specifically, the lining can be made of either a flexible or rigid material. It has a split structure that can be connected to form a ring to support the outer side of the table legs and the inner side of the clamping cavity 190. When the table legs are made of rectangular or triangular material, they can be supported by filling with a flexible lining. Alternatively, the inner wall of the lining can be rectangular or triangular after connection, while the outer wall remains circular, thus achieving the supporting effect.
[0058] It is worth noting that, in order to make the bearing part 120 play a more stable bearing role, the bearing part 120 can be provided with ashtray slots, teacup slots, mobile phone slots and cigarette box slots, etc., to respectively support and accommodate ashtrays, teacups, mobile phones and cigarette boxes. There are no restrictions on the specific purpose, shape, number and position of each slot.
[0059] Example 2
[0060] The mahjong machine includes a table body, table legs, and a support device 100 for the mahjong machine. The top of the table legs is connected to the table body, and the clamping cavity 190 clamps the table legs. The mahjong machine has all the functions of the support device 100 for the mahjong machine.
[0061] Specifically, the table body has a rectangular parallelepiped structure, which includes a cavity for holding mahjong tiles, as well as a tile pushing mechanism and a tile shuffling mechanism. There are four table legs, connected to the four sides of the table body. Alternatively, there can be four support devices 100 for the mahjong machine, each clamped to the table body; or there can be two support devices 100, each clamped to two diagonally arranged table legs.
[0062] In summary, the support device 100 for a mahjong machine and the mahjong machine provided by the embodiments of this utility model have at least the following advantages:
[0063] (1) The support device 100 for mahjong machine introduces a snap-fit connection to replace the existing threaded connection during disassembly and assembly, which facilitates the connection or separation of the fixing part 110 and the bearing part 120, thereby improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency.
[0064] (2) When the support device 100 for the mahjong machine is connected by a snap-fit, the protrusion 131 can drive the spring piece 132 to extend into the snap groove 140. During the process of entering the snap groove 140, the spring piece 132 will be squeezed to avoid obstructing the process of entering the snap groove 140. After reaching the connection position, the spring piece 132 bounces up under the influence of its own elastic force to resist the snap groove 140, thereby generating frictional resistance for the protrusion 131 to drive the spring piece 132 to disengage from the snap groove 140.
[0065] (3) The support device 100 for mahjong machines can improve the assembly flexibility of the whole device by setting an inner lining, making it easy to clamp onto table legs of different shapes and sizes.
[0066] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
