Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mahjong competition technology, specifically to a blind box mahjong table. Background Technology

[0002] Mahjong, as an intellectually stimulating game, has gained increasing attention and popularity due to its high level of fun. In recent years, mahjong has also spread overseas, gaining a following among foreigners.

[0003] As society develops and technology advances, the design of mahjong tables is constantly being innovated to meet the diverse needs of consumers.

[0004] Traditional hand-held mahjong requires players to spend a significant amount of time manually shuffling and arranging the tiles. Therefore, machine mahjong was invented, using machines to automatically shuffle and arrange the tiles, resulting in faster shuffling and less waiting time. However, both machine and hand-held mahjong require time for shuffling and arranging, significantly shortening the actual game time and greatly reducing the gaming experience. Furthermore, machine mahjong is relatively expensive and bulky, requiring considerable space, so only a small number of people would set up a machine at home. Most people would have to go to tea houses or mahjong parlors. Additionally, the need for electricity limits machine mahjong to indoor use, failing to meet the needs of outdoor mahjong games.

[0005] Meanwhile, existing mahjong tables are designed with little consideration for the storage and carrying of mahjong tiles. Whether it is machine mahjong or hand mahjong, the information on the tiles can be easily seen by others during the game, which affects the gaming experience. Utility Model Content

[0044] Example 1:

[0045] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides a blind box mahjong table, including a table body 1 that is adaptable to be transformed between a folded storage state and an unfolded assembly state. The table body 1 can be formed by hinged two table panels, which is convenient to carry and store and can meet the needs of outdoor mahjong games.

[0046] The blind box mahjong table also includes:

[0047] Mahjong bag 3 is configured to store mahjong tiles and is detachably attached to table body 1; tile-drawing opening 11 is located in the middle of the table body and is configured to allow the user to grab mahjong tiles. Mahjong bag 3 is located below tile-drawing opening 11. In this embodiment, tile-drawing opening is circular.

[0048] Above the card-touching opening 11 is an opening and closing device 2 for covering the card information. The opening and closing device 2 includes a flexible covering sheet, which includes a first part and a second part. When the first part and the second part are in the unfolded and assembled state, they are combined to cover the card-touching opening 11.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first and second parts of the flexible shielding sheet are both semi-circular shielding sheets. The arc portion of the semi-circular shielding sheet is fixed on the opening and closing device 2. The straight portion of the semi-circular shielding sheet is joined together to cover the card-touching opening 11 when the sheet is unfolded and joined.

[0050] Alternatively, the arc portion of the semi-circular cover can be directly attached to the card-touching opening 11. The straight portion of the semi-circular cover can be joined together to cover the card-touching opening 11 when the cover is unfolded and assembled, and the straight portion of the semi-circular cover can be separated when the cover is folded and stored.

[0051] When using the aforementioned blind box mahjong table, simply place the mahjong tiles into the mahjong bag. When drawing tiles, players retrieve them from the bag through the tile drawer. This eliminates the need for separate shuffling and stacking of the tiles, greatly increasing game time and enhancing the gaming experience.

[0052] By setting up a card-drawing opening on the table and installing an opening and closing device above the card-drawing opening to cover the card information, a blind box gameplay of mahjong is realized. During the game, the card information can be effectively covered, improving the confidentiality of the game and increasing the fun of mahjong.

[0053] Specifically, the opening and closing device 2 is locked in place with the tile-drawing opening 11. When using the blind box mahjong table, after all the mahjong tiles are placed into the mahjong bag 3, the mahjong bag 3 is positioned below the tile-drawing opening 11 and fixed to the table body 1. After use, the mahjong tiles are returned to the mahjong bag, and the mahjong bag 3 is removed from the table body. The opening and closing device 2 can then be removed from the tile-drawing opening, and the table body 1 can be folded and stored. Alternatively, the opening and closing device 2 can be left in place, and the table body 1 can be folded and stored directly. In this case, the first and second parts of the flexible cover of the opening and closing device 2 separate from each other. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2-4 The table body 1 is also provided with long strip-shaped slots 12 around its perimeter for holding the mahjong tiles. The tabletop of the table body 1 is lower than the plane at the top of the slots 12 to prevent the mahjong tiles from slipping off the tabletop.

[0054] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 The table body 1 also has protrusions 13 on its two side panels parallel to the folding and storage axis to facilitate unfolding the table body from the folded storage state to the unfolded and assembled state. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 The protrusions 13 are staggered when the device is folded and stored.

[0055] Example 2:

[0056] Please see Figure 6 This embodiment provides a blind box mahjong table. The difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is that the card-drawing opening 11 is surrounded by an mounting part 14 for attaching a mahjong bag 3.

[0057] Please see Figure 6 (a), Figure 6 (a) is a cross-sectional view of the tile-drawing opening 11 when the mahjong bag 3 is not installed. The tile-drawing opening 11 is surrounded by an installation part 14 for attaching the mahjong bag 3.

[0058] Please see Figure 6 (b), please refer to Figure 6(b) is a cross-sectional view of the tile-drawing opening 11 after the mahjong bag 3 is installed. The mahjong bag 3 is inserted into the tile-drawing opening 11, and the opening of the mahjong bag is configured with a hard edge of a certain thickness so that the opening of the mahjong bag can be locked onto the mounting part 14.

[0059] Specifically, a steel ring is provided at the opening of the mahjong bag, and the steel ring is placed on the mounting part 14 when the mahjong bag 3 is attached to the table body 1.

[0060] The mahjong bag is equipped with an opening and closing device 2 for covering the information on the tiles. The opening and closing device 2 includes a flexible covering piece, which includes a first part and a second part. When the table body 1 is in an unfolded and assembled state, the first part and the second part are assembled to cover the tile-drawing opening 11.

[0061] Specifically, the opening and closing device 2 is shaped to match the opening of the mahjong bag, and can be directly engaged with the opening of the mahjong bag. When using the blind box mahjong table, after all the mahjong tiles are placed into the mahjong bag 3, the opening and closing device 2 is engaged and fixed to the opening of the mahjong bag. The mahjong bag 3 and the opening and closing device 2 fixed to its opening are then inserted into the tile-drawing opening 11. After use, the mahjong tiles are put back into the mahjong bag 3, and then the opening and closing device 2 and the mahjong bag 3 are removed from the tile-drawing opening 11. Finally, the table body 1 is folded for storage.

[0062] Example 3:

[0063] Please see Figure 7 In this embodiment:

[0064] The first and second parts of the flexible shielding sheet are both semi-circular shielding sheets, and the semi-circular shielding sheets have strip-shaped openings at certain intervals to facilitate players to pick up mahjong tiles.

[0065] When playing mahjong, players can reach into the mahjong bag 3 through the strip-shaped opening on the flexible cover to draw tiles. This effectively conceals the tile information while making it easy for players to pick up the mahjong tiles.

[0066] Example 4:

[0067] Please see Figure 8 In this embodiment:

[0068] The first and second parts of the flexible shielding sheet are both composed of multiple toothed shielding sheets to facilitate players in picking up mahjong tiles.

[0069] When playing mahjong, players can reach their hands into the mahjong bag 3 through the openings between the toothed covers to draw tiles. This effectively conceals the tile information while making it easier for players to pick up the mahjong tiles.

[0070] Example 5:

[0071] Please see Figure 9-10 In this embodiment:

[0072] The table body 1 is formed by hinged two table panels. Under the table body 1, there are four first table legs 4 and four second table legs 5 that can be folded, stored or removed to support the table body. Under each table panel, there are two first table legs 4 and two second table legs 5.

[0073] For easy carrying and storage, when the table body 1 is folded and stored, a cavity is formed between the two tabletops. The height of the cavity is greater than the diameter of the table legs, so that when the blind box mahjong table is in the folded and stored state, the first table leg 4 and the second table leg 5 can be folded and stored into the cavity between the two tabletops.

[0074] In this embodiment, when the first table leg 4 and the second table leg 5 are folded towards the table board where the table leg is located, all the table legs are in a parallel state after being folded and stored.

[0075] 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 scope of the claims.
