Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mahjong machines, and particularly relates to a folding foot of a mahjong machine. Background Art
[0002] In the existing technical field of mahjong machines, the folding foot, as an important part of the mahjong machine, bears the heavy responsibility of supporting and stabilizing the overall structure of the mahjong machine. The traditional design of the folding foot of a mahjong machine usually includes components such as a base, a support column, and a support seat. Among them, the support seat part is mostly manufactured by the method of sheet metal welding and forming.
[0003] Although the support seat formed by sheet metal welding can meet the support requirements of the mahjong machine to a certain extent, in the actual use process, it has some deficiencies. For example, welding stress may be generated during the welding process, resulting in problems such as deformation or cracking of the support seat during use, thus affecting the stability and service life of the mahjong machine. In addition, the support seat formed by welding needs to go through multiple processes during the manufacturing process, not only the production efficiency is low, but the manufacturing cost is also relatively high. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] In view of the above, the utility model provides a folding foot of a mahjong machine, which has the advantages of high production efficiency, low manufacturing cost, and stable product quality.
[0005] The technical solution of the utility model:
[0006] The utility model provides a folding foot of a mahjong machine, including a base, a heating cylinder, and a bracket. The heating cylinder is vertically fixed at the center of the base, and the bracket is installed at the top of the heating cylinder. The bracket includes a bottom wall, side walls, and U-shaped flanges. Two side walls are integrally bent and formed at both ends of the bottom wall. The bottom wall and the side walls are connected in an arc shape. The bottom wall and the two side walls form a U-shaped wall. U-shaped flanges are integrally bent and formed on both side surfaces of the U-shaped wall. The U-shaped wall and the two U-shaped flanges form a U-shaped groove.
[0007] Further, an air inlet hole communicating with the internal space of the heating cylinder is opened at the middle position of the bottom wall.
[0008] Further, the base includes a support frame and a support cover covering the support frame.
[0009] Further, the support frame is a "rice" shaped frame.
[0010] Further, the heating cylinder is a round-cornered square cylinder.
[0011] Further, the round-cornered square cylinder includes a cylinder body and heat dissipation windows installed on four side walls of the cylinder body.
[0012] Furthermore, the four side walls of the cylinder are provided with windows, and the windows are provided with card interfaces. The heat dissipation windows are provided with hooks around their perimeter. The heat dissipation windows are installed inside the windows by being connected to the card interfaces through the hooks.
[0013] Furthermore, the heat dissipation window includes a perforated plate and a frame fixed around the perimeter of the perforated plate, with multiple hooks formed on the frame.
[0014] Furthermore, it also includes two hinge seats, which are respectively hinged to the top of the two side walls. The two hinge seats are used to install the main body of the mahjong machine so as to realize the folding or unfolding of the main body of the mahjong machine.
[0015] Furthermore, a hook is formed on the hinge seat, and a locking element is installed on the side wall. The locking element locks with the hook to fix the position of the hinge seat.
[0016] The folding feet for the mahjong machine provided by this utility model have a unique and innovative design, bringing significant benefits, specifically in the following aspects:

[0018] II. Enhanced Structural Strength and Stability: The bracket adopts an integrated bending design for the bottom wall, side walls, and U-shaped folded edges, forming a stable U-shaped groove structure. This design not only optimizes the spatial layout but also significantly enhances the structural strength and stability of the folding legs. Especially when bearing the weight of a mahjong machine, it ensures that the folding legs do not deform or become damaged, thus better meeting the support requirements of the mahjong machine.
[0019] III. Enhanced Product Quality and Durability: The bracket is made of a single piece of stamped metal sheet, eliminating the need for welding or other additional processing during manufacturing and thus avoiding potential problems such as welding stress. This design not only improves the overall quality of the product but also significantly enhances its durability and corrosion resistance, making the mahjong machine's folding feet more reliable and durable during use.
