Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic mahjong machine technology, specifically to an automatic mahjong machine equipped with a voltage stabilizing module. Background Technology
[0002] Automatic mahjong machines are common entertainment devices in daily life, widely found in various activity venues and homes. Traditional automatic mahjong machines are equipped with only a fixed transformer. After the mains power is input into the mahjong machine, it is transformed by the transformer. The transformer's output voltage is directly input to the mahjong machine's control board. The control board then converts the input voltage into two sets of voltages: one set is converted into a 5V DC voltage to power the main board's control chip and the sensors on various components; the other set of higher voltage supplies power to the motors of various components.
[0003] However, due to geographical location, seasonality, and time of day, mains voltage fluctuates, causing the transformer's output voltage to also fluctuate. The lower the mains input voltage, the lower the transformer's output voltage; conversely, the higher the mains input voltage, the higher the transformer's output voltage. For example, with a mains voltage of 180V, the transformer's output voltage is 100V; with 220V, it's 125V; and with 250V, it can reach as high as 145V. Both excessively high and low voltages can cause malfunctions in mahjong machines. High voltage can lead to shortened motor lifespan, abnormal motor noise, excessive current noise, motor reversal, and shortened capacitor lifespan; low voltage can cause weak motor power and machine jamming. In some areas, due to significant voltage fluctuations, an additional voltage stabilizer is required, increasing user costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide an automatic mahjong machine equipped with a voltage stabilizing module, so as to overcome the problem that existing fixed transformers cannot adapt to large fluctuations in mains voltage. The specific technical solution adopted is as follows:
[0005] An automatic mahjong machine equipped with a voltage regulator module includes a mahjong machine body. The mahjong machine body contains a mahjong machine control motherboard and a power supply system for powering the mahjong machine control motherboard. The power supply system includes at least a multi-output transformer and a power management module. The primary side of the multi-output transformer is connected to mains power, and the secondary side includes several output ports. The power management module includes an mains voltage acquisition unit, a control unit, and a switch switching unit. The mains voltage acquisition unit is used to acquire mains voltage. The switch switching unit includes several switches. Different output ports on the secondary side of the multi-output transformer are connected to the power input ports of the mahjong machine control motherboard through different switches. The control unit controls the switch switching unit to switch the output ports on the secondary side of the multi-output transformer that supply power to the mahjong machine control motherboard based on the mains voltage acquired by the mains voltage acquisition unit.
[0006] Furthermore, the secondary side of the multi-output transformer forms output voltages in different ranges based on windings with different numbers of turns, and outputs them respectively through the output ports.
[0007] Furthermore, the secondary side of the multi-output transformer forms 3-5 output voltage intervals through 3-5 windings, and the output voltages of each interval are interconnected to form a gradient interval.
[0008] Furthermore, when the mains voltage collected by the mains voltage acquisition unit is within a preset range, the control unit controls the switch switching unit to make the output port of the secondary side of the multi-output transformer the output port of the standard voltage range.
[0009] When the mains voltage collected by the mains voltage acquisition unit is higher than the preset value, the control unit controls the switch switching unit to switch the output port of the secondary side of the multi-output transformer to the output port of the lower voltage range.
[0010] When the mains voltage collected by the mains voltage acquisition unit is lower than the preset value, the control unit controls the switch switching unit to switch the output port of the secondary side of the multi-output transformer to the output port of the higher voltage range.
[0011] Furthermore, the applicable mains voltage range of the multi-output transformer is 170V-250V, and the control unit switches the output port based on the input mains voltage so that the voltage output on the secondary side is within the range of 113V-125V.
[0012] Furthermore, the switching unit includes a multi-channel switching circuit, each of which includes a thyristor switch and an optocoupler coupled between its control terminal and the control unit.
[0013] Furthermore, the control unit includes a microcontroller and an analog multiplexer, and the microcontroller sends control signals to the switch switching unit through the analog multiplexer.
[0014] Furthermore, the mahjong machine control motherboard is also equipped with a voltage conversion circuit, which is used to convert the input voltage and output it to the various motor and sensor control modules in the mahjong machine body.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] This invention relates to an automatic mahjong machine equipped with a voltage stabilization module. By configuring a multi-output transformer, it can output different ranges of output voltage based on the input mains voltage. The control unit controls the switching unit to switch the output voltage between different ranges based on the collected mains voltage, so that the voltage output from the transformer to the mahjong machine's main board is always kept within a preset range. This ensures that the automatic mahjong machine can still operate stably even when the input mains voltage fluctuates, avoiding machine malfunctions or reduced machine lifespan caused by mains voltage fluctuations.

Preferably, the secondary side of the multi-output transformer forms 3-5 ranges of output voltage through 3-5 windings, and the output voltages of each range are connected to form a gradient range.
[0023] Correspondingly, when the mains voltage collected by the mains voltage acquisition unit is within the preset range, the control unit controls the switch switching unit to make the output port of the secondary side of the multi-output transformer the output port of the standard voltage range.
[0024] When the mains voltage collected by the mains voltage acquisition unit is higher than the preset value, the control unit controls the switch switching unit to switch the output port of the secondary side of the multi-output transformer to the output port of the lower voltage range.
[0025] When the mains voltage collected by the mains voltage acquisition unit is lower than the preset value, the control unit controls the switch switching unit to switch the output port of the secondary side of the multi-output transformer to the output port of the higher voltage range.
[0026] As a preferred embodiment, in this example, the applicable mains voltage range of the multi-output transformer is 170V-250V, and the control unit switches the output port based on the input mains voltage so that the voltage output on the secondary side is within the range of 113V-125V.
