[0002] A mahjong machine is a device specifically designed for automating the mahjong game, enabling players to enjoy the game more efficiently and conveniently. Its main functions include automatically shuffling, dealing, and arranging the tiles, as well as replacing manual operation, thus enhancing the game's smoothness and entertainment value.

[0003] A search revealed that application (publication) number 201720628918.X discloses a lifting mechanism for an electric mahjong tile sorting machine. The vertical front end of the "tile lifting plate" has an arc-shaped part for guiding the tiles. Traditionally, the "tile lifting plate" is made of metal, and the arc-shaped part can be adjusted by bending it to accommodate mahjong tiles of different sizes. However, some manufacturers use plastic injection molding to reduce weight and cost. But after the plastic is cured, the angle of the arc-shaped part cannot be adjusted, resulting in the problem that it cannot be adjusted according to the size of the mahjong tiles.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes an adjustable push plate and a mahjong machine. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around" and other terms indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model is an adjustable push plate, including a plate body 1 integrally formed from plastic, and a guide plate 2 disposed at the front end of the plate body 1 for the transition of mahjong tiles during transport. The guide plate 2 is a malleable metal component. The guide plate 2 and the plate body 1 are detachably connected, and the connection point is flush with the side through which the mahjong tiles pass. At least part of the guide plate 2 overlaps with the plate body 1. The push plate is formed by combining the plastic plate body 1 and the metal guide plate 2, which can ensure adjustment flexibility while reducing cost and weight, and has the advantages of convenient installation and disassembly and simple and reliable structure.

[0028] The guide plate 2 includes a sheet metal connecting part 21 at the rear end. The guide plate 2 has reinforcing ribs 22 formed along the mahjong tile conveying path. The reinforcing ribs 22 serve to strengthen the structure of the guide plate 2, preventing the guide plate 2 from deforming due to the passage of mahjong tiles. At the same time, they can reduce the contact area between the guide plate 2 and the mahjong tiles, making the mahjong tiles pass through more smoothly.

[0029] The guide plate 2 has an arc at its front end for guiding the mahjong tiles to the guide plate 1. Since the guide plate 2 is made of a malleable metal material, the arc at the front end of the guide plate 2 can smoothly guide the mahjong tiles to the outside of the guide plate 1.

[0030] The plate 1 includes a first clearance groove 11 opened on the outer side wall near the guide piece 2. The overlapping part of the guide piece 2 and the plate 1 is embedded in the first clearance groove 11. The overlapping setting is to enhance the structural strength when the guide piece 2 is bent after it is installed on the plate 1. When the guide piece 2 is bent, the plate 1 can provide support, so that the curvature can be changed more easily.

[0031] The inner sidewall of the plate 1 is provided with a second clearance groove 12, and a through groove 13 is provided between the first clearance groove 11 and the second clearance groove 12. The connecting part 21 passes through the through groove 13 and fits into the second clearance groove 12. By setting the first clearance groove 11 and the second clearance groove 12 and connecting them through the through groove 13, the guide piece 2 can be more securely connected to the plate 1, thereby ensuring the structural reliability.

[0032] The second clearance groove 12 has a threaded hole 121, and the connecting part 21 has a connecting hole 211. The fastener 3 passes through the connecting hole 211 from the inside of the plate 1 and is screwed into the threaded hole 121. The fastener 3 is a self-tapping screw. In actual assembly, after the fastener 3 is locked, it may protrude from the outer side of the plate 1 in some places. Its front end needs to be ground to be flat with the plate 1.

[0033] To achieve the above method, this utility model also provides a mahjong machine, including the aforementioned adjustable push plate.

[0034] It is understandable that by combining a plastic plate 1 and a metal guide plate 2 to form a push plate, it is possible to ensure adjustment flexibility while reducing costs and weight, and it also has the advantages of convenient installation and disassembly and simple and reliable structure.

[0035] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: the plate 1 is integrally formed by injection molding, and a first clearance groove 11 and a second clearance groove 12 are respectively opened on its outer and inner sides. Then, a through groove 13 is opened at the connection of the first clearance groove 11 and the second clearance groove 12. A threaded hole 121 is opened in the second clearance groove 12. The connecting part 21 and the reinforcing rib 22 in the guide plate 2 are formed by sheet metal. A connecting hole 211 is opened in the connecting part 21.

[0036] During installation, the connecting part 21 passes through the through groove 13 from the outside and engages with the second relief groove 12. At this time, the guide piece 2 is partially engaged in the first relief groove 11. The fastener 3 passes through the connecting hole 211 from the inside of the plate 1 and is threadedly locked with the threaded hole 121.
