Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to mahjong machine technical field, concretely relates to a kind of lifting plate, push card unit, card feeding assembly and mahjong machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] In roller coaster type mahjong machine, lifting plate is hinged with frame, and its working mode is as follows: when lifting plate is needed, the card receiving end of lifting plate is lowered to connect with storage channel, and mahjong tiles in storage channel are pushed onto lifting plate; after all tiles are pushed onto lifting plate, the card receiving end of lifting plate is lifted until lifting plate is flush with table top, and lifting action is completed.

[0003] As can be seen, in order to minimize the angle of lifting plate lowering or lifting, the hinge point between lifting plate and frame is generally set as close to the fixed end of lifting plate as possible. However, as we know, lifting plate is always in long strip shape, which is related to the arrangement of mahjong tiles it needs to support; in addition, its hinge point is at the fixed end, and the free end is suspended below, so when lifting plate is under load or pressure, its free end will often collapse due to insufficient support, and after long-term use, lifting plate will be severely deformed; even if a structure for driving lifting plate to lift is set at the middle end of lifting plate, the structure will inevitably loosen under pressure.

[0004] As can be seen, in the prior art, no matter which situation, lifting plate cannot be flush with table top. This results in at least two consequences: (1) the table top is uneven, with poor aesthetics, which is difficult for users to accept; (2) mahjong tiles are difficult to move from lifting plate to table top, and are easily tripped or stuck. INVENTION CONTENTS

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a lifting plate, a push card unit, a card feeding assembly and a mahjong machine, to ensure that the lifting plate is always level with the table top after lifting, without collapsing.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the application, the technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0007] The utility model provides a lifting plate first, and the lifting plate comprises a plate body, the fixed end of the plate body is provided with a hinge point for facilitating rotation of the plate body, and the free end of the plate body is provided with a support leg protruding from the bottom surface of the plate body.

[0008] After setting the support leg on the plate body, the free end of the plate body can be propped and lifted, without collapsing, and can always be flush with the table top in the lifted state, avoiding the situation that mahjong tiles are stuck or tripped.

[0009] Similarly, the utility model also provides a push mahjong unit, this push mahjong unit has the upper support platform for the free end of the mahjong plate and carries out the action of supporting and lifting.

[0010] It can be seen that the upper support platform on the push mahjong unit can support and lift the free end of the mahjong plate.

[0011] Similarly, the utility model also provides a mahjong feeding assembly, the mahjong feeding assembly includes the mahjong feeding support with the mahjong storage channel, and the push mahjong unit for pushing the mahjong tiles in the mahjong storage channel to the mahjong plate is arranged on the mahjong feeding support; the push mahjong unit has a supporting working position running to the lower side of the mahjong plate after the mahjong plate is lifted, and at least one of the push mahjong unit and the mahjong plate is provided with the upper support structure in the gap between the two and used for supporting the free end of the mahjong plate.

[0012] The mahjong feeding assembly of the utility model is suitable for the mahjong machine with the push mahjong unit running 360 degrees, that is, the push mahjong unit starts from the starting point of the mahjong storage channel, pushes all the tiles to the mahjong plate, and then passes under the mahjong plate and returns to the starting point of the mahjong storage channel after the mahjong plate is lifted. At this time, if the push mahjong unit is used to support the mahjong plate, the push mahjong unit only needs to be temporarily stopped after running to the lower side of the mahjong plate, and then the push mahjong unit is started again when the game on the table is finished and the push mahjong unit is needed to push the tiles again, and the push mahjong unit runs to the starting point of the mahjong storage channel and immediately starts the next round of tile pushing.

[0013] In the utility model, the upper support structure can include the supporting leg arranged on the bottom surface of the mahjong plate, or the upper support platform arranged on the push mahjong unit; the supporting leg and the upper support platform can be separately arranged or simultaneously arranged, and at this time, the supporting leg and the upper support platform are stacked vertically. The push mahjong unit generally includes the push rod and the push head arranged on the end of the push rod and in the mahjong storage channel, and therefore the upper support platform is preferably protruded on the top surface of the push rod.

[0014] Obviously, it is more preferred that the supporting leg and the upper support platform are simultaneously arranged, and after the upper support structure is divided into the supporting leg and the upper support platform based on the fixed height of the gap between the push mahjong unit and the mahjong plate, the supporting leg and the upper support platform are not too long, which on the one hand ensures the strength of each, and on the other hand prevents the supporting leg from affecting the descent of the mahjong plate due to being too long.

[0015] As a further preferred, the bottom end of the supporting leg is provided with a first guide surface towards the push mahjong unit side, and the first guide surface is used for guiding the push mahjong unit to run to the lower side of the supporting leg.

[0016] Alternatively or additionally, the top end of the upper support platform is provided with a second guide surface, and the second guide surface is used for guiding the upper support platform to run to the lower side of the mahjong plate along with the push rod.

[0017] The first guide surface and the second guide surface are used to ensure that the pushing rod or the upper support table can smoothly run to the lower side of the tile lifting plate or the support leg.

[0018] In some mahjong machines, the tail end of the pushing rod is connected with the tile lifting frame, and the head end is suspended to extend forward to bring the pushing head into the tile storage channel, which makes the head end of the pushing rod itself also have a certain instability. Therefore, as preferred, in the above-mentioned tile lifting assembly, the lower support structure in the gap between the tile lifting frame and the pushing rod and used to support the pushing rod in the supporting working position is arranged on at least one of the tile lifting frame and the pushing rod.

[0019] As further preferred, the lower support structure comprises a lower support table arranged on the edge of the tile lifting frame.

[0020] The top end of the lower support table is provided with a third guide surface facing the side of the pushing rod, and the third guide surface is used to guide the pushing rod to run above the lower support table.

[0021] The utility model also provides a mahjong machine, and the mahjong machine comprises the above-mentioned tile lifting plate, pushing unit or tile lifting assembly.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects of the utility model are embodied in:

[0023] (1) In the utility model, the free end of the tile lifting plate is provided with a support leg protruding from the bottom surface of the plate body; after the support leg is arranged on the plate body, the free end of the plate body can be supported and lifted, and the collapse phenomenon does not occur; in the lifted state, the plate body can always be flush with the table top, so that the mahjong tiles are prevented from being stuck or tripped; when the upper support table is arranged on the pushing unit, the upper support table can also play the same function as the support leg.

[0024] (2) In the utility model, the support leg and the upper support table can be arranged separately or simultaneously; preferably, the support leg and the upper support table are arranged simultaneously; after the upper support structure is divided into the support leg and the upper support table, the height of the gap between the pushing unit and the tile lifting plate is fixed, and the support leg and the upper support table are not too long, which ensures the strength of the support leg and the upper support table and prevents the support leg from affecting the descent of the tile lifting plate.

[0033] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this embodiment describes a tile-lifting plate used in a roller coaster-style mahjong machine. Its function is to receive mahjong tiles from the tile storage channel 71 and deliver these tiles to the tabletop. It can be seen that the tile-lifting plate is hinged to the frame of the mahjong machine. When tiles need to be received, the free end of the tile-lifting plate lowers; when tiles are lifted, the free end of the tile-lifting plate rises.

[0036] The lifting plate in this embodiment includes a plate body 1, which is hinged to the frame through a hinge point 2 at its fixed end. The free end of the plate body 1 is integrally formed with a support foot 3 protruding from the bottom surface of the plate body 1.

[0037] When applied to a mahjong machine, the bottom end of the support leg 3 is supported and lifted by the mahjong machine's tile-pushing unit. Therefore, even when the tile-lifting plate is under load (the weight comes from the mahjong tiles on it), its free end can always remain horizontal and will not collapse.

[0038] To facilitate the movement of the card-pushing unit below the card-lifting plate and support leg 3, such as Figure 1 As shown, the bottom end of the support leg 3 has a first guide surface 31 facing the side of the pusher unit (that is, the side facing away from the fixed end). The first guide surface 31 can be chamfered or wedge-shaped.

[0039] The number of support feet 3 in this embodiment can be set according to specific needs, and this embodiment has no special limitation. As for the position of the support feet 3, it is more preferable to set the support feet 3 closer to the tail end of the pushing rod 4 of the pushing unit. The closer to the head end of the pushing rod 4 (i.e. the position of the pushing head 5), the worse the lifting ability of the pushing rod 4.

[0040] Embodiment 2

[0041] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , this embodiment is a pushing unit for a mahjong machine, which is used to push the mahjong tiles in the tile storage channel 71 to the tile lifting plate. In this embodiment, the pushing unit includes a pushing rod 4, the tail end of the pushing rod 4 is connected with the driving unit 8, and the head end of the pushing rod 4 is fixedly provided or integrally formed with a pushing head 5.

[0042] As can be seen from Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the top surface of the head end of the pushing rod 4 is provided with an upper support table 6. When the pushing rod 4 runs to the lower side of the tile lifting plate, the upper support table 6 can just support and lift the free end of the tile lifting plate, ensuring that the tile lifting plate remains horizontal when holding the tiles.

[0043] Similarly, the top end of the upper support table 6 also has a second guide surface 61, which is used to guide the upper support table 6 to run to the lower side of the tile lifting plate with the pushing rod 4; the first guide surface 31 can be a chamfer or a wedge surface.

[0044] Embodiment 3

[0045] This embodiment is a tile lifting assembly applied to a roller coaster type mahjong machine, which includes a tile lifting support 7 with a tile storage channel 71, and a pushing unit for pushing the mahjong tiles in the tile storage channel 71 to a tile lifting plate, and the tile lifting plate is the same as that in Embodiment 1.

[0046] Embodiment 4

[0047] This embodiment is a tile lifting assembly applied to a roller coaster type mahjong machine, which includes a tile lifting support 7 with a tile storage channel 71, and a pushing unit for pushing the mahjong tiles in the tile storage channel 71 to a tile lifting plate, and the pushing unit is the same as that in Embodiment 2, specifically the same as the pushing unit shown in Figure 3 .

[0048] Embodiment 5

[0049] As shown in Figure 4As shown, the up-card assembly of the embodiment is applied to a roller coaster mahjong machine, which comprises an up-card support 7 with a card storage channel 71, and the up-card support 7 is provided with a card pushing unit for pushing the mahjong tiles in the card storage channel 71 to the up-card plate, the up-card plate is the same as that in embodiment 1, and the card pushing unit is the same as that in embodiment 2, specifically the same as that shown in Figure 2 As shown, the card pushing unit is the same as that in embodiment 2 (the same as Figure 3 Compared with the card pushing unit shown in embodiment 2, Figure 2 the height of the up support table 6 shown in embodiment 1 is lower); and when the card pushing unit performs the supporting operation on the up-card plate, the up support table 6 and the support leg 3 are stacked up and down to jointly form an up support structure.

[0050] In the embodiments 1, 2 and 3, the card pushing unit is operated at 360°, that is, the pushing head 5 starts from the starting point of the card storage channel 71, pushes all the tiles to the up-card plate, and after the up-card plate is lifted, the pushing head 5 and the head end of the pushing rod 4 pass under the up-card plate and return to the starting point of the card storage channel 71. When the pushing rod 4 passes under the up-card plate, the supporting operation on the up-card plate can be realized, at this time, the card pushing unit only needs to stay under the up-card plate, and when a game on the table is over and the card pushing unit needs to push tiles again, the card pushing unit is started again to return to the starting point of the card storage channel 71 and immediately start pushing tiles.

[0051] Embodiment 6

[0052] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 The up-card assembly of the embodiment is basically the same as that in embodiments 3, 4 or 5, and the difference is that:

[0053] The tail end of the pushing rod 4 is connected with the driving unit 8, and the head end thereof extends to the direction of the card storage channel 71, so that a certain height difference is formed between the head end of the pushing rod 4 and the up-card support 7, which makes the head end of the pushing rod 4 itself also have a certain instability.

[0054] Therefore, in the embodiment, at least one of the up-card support 7 and the pushing rod 4 is provided with a lower support structure in the gap therebetween and for supporting the pushing rod 4 in the supporting working position.

[0055] Specifically, the lower support structure comprises a lower support table 9 arranged at the edge of the up-card support 7, and the top end of the lower support table 9 is provided with a third guide surface 91 facing the side of the pushing rod 4, which is also used for guiding the pushing rod 4 to run above the lower support table 9.

[0056] Embodiment 7

[0057] As shown in Figure 7As shown, the mahjong machine of the present embodiment includes a main frame 10, each side of which is provided with the same tile lifting plate as that of embodiment 1, the same tile pushing unit as that of embodiment 2, or the same tile feeding assembly as that of embodiments 3-6.
