[0028] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a folding foot for heating a mahjong machine, including a base 1, a heating cylinder 2, a heating element 3, a bracket 4, and a fan 5. The heating cylinder 2 is vertically fixed to the center of the base 1, and the heating element 3 is fixed to the base 1 and located inside the heating cylinder 2. The bracket 4 is installed at the top of the heating cylinder 2, and the bracket 4 has an air inlet 40 that communicates with the internal space of the heating cylinder 2. The fan 5 is installed at the air inlet 40 on the bracket 4 to diffuse the heat generated by the heating element 3 through the heat dissipation windows 20 on the periphery of the heating cylinder 2.

[0030] The folding heating leg for mahjong machines provided by this utility model exhibits significant advantages compared to traditional mahjong machine stands:

[0031] I. Significant Effect: By fixing the heating element 3 to the base 1 and placing it in the heating cylinder 2, and with the heat from the fan 5 escaping through the heat dissipation windows 20 on the periphery of the heating cylinder, this invention achieves rapid and even heating of the foot area of ​​the mahjong machine. This design not only improves heating efficiency but also ensures heating comfort.

[0032] II. Compact Structure and Reliable Safety: The heating folding leg structure of this utility model is compact, and the connections between all components are stable and reliable. Furthermore, by precisely controlling the heating power and temperature of the heating element and employing forced heat dissipation via a fan, the safety and stability of the heating process are ensured.

[0033] III. Experience of using the mahjong machine: The addition of heating and folding feet enables players to enjoy a warmer and more comfortable gaming environment when using the mahjong machine in a cold environment. This design not only enhances the usage experience of the mahjong machine but also increases player satisfaction.

[0034] In this embodiment, the base 1 includes a support frame 11 and a support cover 12 covering the support frame 11. The support frame 11 is a "rice" - shaped frame, and the support cover 12 is fixed to the "rice" - shaped frame. Such a structure is simple, firm, easy to manufacture, and has a relatively low cost.

[0035] In this embodiment, the heating cylinder 2 is a rounded - square cylinder, and heat - dissipation windows 20 are opened on all four side walls of the rounded - square cylinder. In addition, the heating cylinder 2 can also be a cylindrical cylinder, and heat - dissipation windows are arranged in a circumferential ring on the peripheral wall of the cylindrical cylinder. In addition, the heating cylinder 2 can also be a hexagonal cylinder, and heat - dissipation windows are opened on all six side walls of the hexagonal cylinder.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 3 , in this embodiment, the heating component 3 includes a heating cylinder 31 and a heating wire 32. A spiral groove is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the heating cylinder 31, and the heating wire 32 is wound in the spiral groove of the heating cylinder 31. Winding the heating wire in the spiral groove of the heating cylinder not only increases the contact area between the heating wire and air but also improves the heat transfer efficiency. Compared with the traditional linear layout, the spiral - groove design enables the heating wire to generate heat more fully in a limited space, thus improving the overall heating efficiency. The spiral - groove design makes the heating wire form a uniformly - distributed heat source on the heating cylinder. This uniform distribution not only avoids heat loss and potential safety hazards caused by local overheating but also ensures the effective transfer and diffusion of heat. Therefore, the heating component of the present utility model can provide a more uniform and comfortable temperature environment during the heating process. A spiral groove is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the heating cylinder. This structural design not only increases the mechanical strength of the heating cylinder but also improves the connection stability between it and the heating wire. During long - term use, this stable connection structure can ensure the continuous and reliable operation of the heating component.

[0037] One end of the heating cylinder 31 is open, and the other end has an end wall. Two electrical connection holes 33 are opened on the end wall of the heating cylinder 31. Both ends of the heating wire 32 pass through the peripheral wall of the heating cylinder 31 respectively and穿出并固定于发热筒31的端壁外表面,形成两个电连接件。发热筒的一端开口,另一端具有端壁,并在端壁上开设了两个电连接孔。这种设计不仅简化了发热筒的结构,还使得发热丝能够方便地穿过周壁并从电连接孔穿出,形成稳固的电连接件。这种简洁而稳固的结构设计,不仅提高了发热筒31的可靠性和耐用性,还降低了生产成本。

[0038] It should be noted that there seems to be some garbled text in the original Chinese for item (the part "穿出并固定于发热筒31的端壁外表面" is not in a proper format). I translated it as best as I could based on the context, but it might need to be corrected in the original text for a more accurate translation.The heating element 31 has a fixing hole 34 on its end wall for screws or bolts to pass through and fix the heating element 31 to the base 1.

[0039] The heating element 31 can be made of heat-resistant ceramic. Heat-resistant ceramic has excellent high-temperature resistance, enabling it to withstand prolonged operation in high-temperature environments without easily deforming or being damaged. This material selection ensures the heating element remains stable during extended heating processes, extending the equipment's lifespan. The heat-resistant ceramic element also possesses good insulation properties, effectively isolating current and preventing safety hazards such as leakage. This is crucial for ensuring the safe operation of the equipment.

[0040] Please see Figure 4 The heating wire 32 has a serrated strip body. This serrated strip design increases the contact area between the heating wire and the air, allowing heat to be more effectively transferred to the surrounding environment. This design not only improves heating efficiency but also ensures uniform heat distribution, preventing localized overheating. The serrated strip structure makes the heat conduction path within the heating wire more complex, helping to reduce heat accumulation and loss, and improving heat transfer efficiency. Simultaneously, this structure also enhances the mechanical strength of the heating wire to a certain extent, extending its service life. When heated, the serrated strip heating wire better adapts to deformation, reducing structural damage caused by thermal expansion and contraction. This design not only improves the structural stability of the heating wire but also ensures the reliability of the heating device during long-term use. Compared to traditional straight heating wires, the serrated strip heating wire offers greater flexibility in manufacturing. This design simplifies the production process and reduces manufacturing costs. Furthermore, the serrated strip structure allows the heating wire to more easily adapt to various complex installation environments, improving installation convenience.

[0041] In addition, the heating wire 32 can also be a spiral component disclosed in the prior art.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the support 4 adopts a U-shaped structure. The U-shaped support design allows for better stress distribution when subjected to external forces, thereby enhancing the stability of the entire structure. This design not only improves the equipment's impact resistance but also extends its service life. The U-shaped support can utilize space more effectively, making the equipment layout more compact and rational. This design not only saves space but also improves the overall aesthetics of the equipment.

[0043] In this embodiment, the heating folding foot of the mahjong machine of this utility model includes a control panel 6 installed on one side of the bracket 4. The control panel 6 includes a power interface, a power switch, and a temperature control knob installed on the plate. The power interface is electrically connected to the heating element 3 and the fan 5 through the power switch and the temperature control knob, respectively, to control the amount of heat generated and the amount of airflow.

[0044] In this embodiment, the heating folding foot of the mahjong machine of this utility model includes a protective cover 7. The protective cover 7 is placed above the fan 5 and is connected to the control panel 6 and the bracket 4. An air inlet window is opened on the protective cover 7 at the position corresponding to the fan 5.

[0045] This utility model relates to a heated folding foot for a mahjong machine. When connected to a power source via a power interface, the heating element 3 and fan 5 are activated by turning on the power switch. The appropriate heat output and airflow are adjusted using a temperature control knob. Air generated by the fan 5 flows from top to bottom through the heat dissipation window 20, evenly dispersing the heat generated by the heating element 3 and achieving rapid and uniform heating of the foot area of ​​the mahjong machine. This design not only improves heating efficiency but also ensures comfortable heating.
