[0022] refer to Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a portable mahjong machine with a slanted tile-loading mechanism, including a table.

[0023] A control panel 1 is located in the center of the table, and the control panel 1 can be raised and lowered. There are four card storage slots 2 on the upper side of the table, which are evenly distributed around the control panel 1. One end of the card storage slot 2 is the card receiving end, and the other end is the card dispensing end. There is a card loading hole 3 at each of the four corners of the table. The card receiving end of the four card storage slots 2 corresponds to the four card loading holes 3, and the card dispensing end corresponds to the four directions of the mahjong table.

[0024] The card storage slot 2 includes a first card storage section, a second card storage section, and a third card storage section. The first, second, and third card storage sections are connected in sequence to form a J-shaped structure. The three card storage sections correspond to the three positions of the mahjong table. The first and second card storage sections are parallel to the two side edges of the mahjong table, respectively. The third card storage section extends at an angle from one end of the second card storage section toward the third edge of the mahjong table. The three card storage sections effectively ensure the amount of cards that can be stored.

[0025] Each card storage slot 2 has a sliding groove on one side wall, and a card pulling timing belt 4 is installed in the sliding groove. The card pulling timing belt 4 can slide in the sliding groove. The card pulling timing belt 4 is equipped with a card pulling block 41, which can move together with the card pulling timing belt 4.

[0026] The third storage section is equipped with a lifting plate 5. One end of the lifting plate 5 is hinged to the table, and the other end is free. When the free end of the lifting plate 5 is raised, it is flush with the middle surface of the table. When the free end of the lifting plate 5 is lowered, it abuts against the bottom of the groove of the third storage section, which facilitates the entry of mahjong tiles onto the lifting plate 5. The side wall of the storage groove 2 is equipped with a one-way locking block 51 near the free end of the lifting plate 5. The one-way locking block 51 is hinged to the side wall of the storage groove 2. Mahjong tiles moving from the storage groove 2 toward the lifting plate 5 can push the one-way locking block 51 open, thus smoothly entering the lifting plate 5. When the mahjong tiles on the lifting plate 5 slide backward, they will be blocked by the one-way locking block 51, thus preventing the mahjong tiles on the lifting plate 5 from sliding back out of the lifting plate 5.

[0027] A lifting mechanism 6 is provided on the lower side of the lifting plate 5. The lifting mechanism 6 is used to control the raising and lowering of the lifting plate 5. (Reference) Figure 2 As shown, the lifting mechanism 6 includes a lifting control shaft 61, a half gear 62, and a lifting control rod 63. The lifting control shaft 61 is rotatably supported on the table, and the axis of the lifting control shaft 61 is perpendicular to the table surface. The half gear 62 is mounted on the lifting control shaft 61 and can rotate synchronously. The structure of the half gear 62 is that only a part of its circumference has teeth, and the rest is a smooth arc surface. The lifting control rod 63 has a Y-shaped structure. One end of the lifting control rod 63 is fixedly connected to the lifting control shaft 61, and the V-shaped end is a free end that extends to the bottom of the lifting plate 5. The lifting control rod 63 can rotate together with the lifting control shaft 61.

[0028] Each card storage slot 2 is equipped with a drive mechanism near the card lifting plate 5. The drive mechanism includes a drive motor 7 and a drive gear 8. The drive motor 7 is mounted on the table and adjacent to the lifting mechanism 6. The drive gear 8 is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 7 and can rotate synchronously. The drive gear 8 meshes with the half gear 62 and the card pulling timing belt 4. It should be noted that the half gear 62 can only be driven to rotate when the teeth of the drive gear 8 correspond to those of the half gear 62. When the teeth of the drive gear 8 and the half gear 62 are misaligned, the half gear 62 will not rotate with the drive gear 8. In this embodiment, the drive gear 8 meshes with the card pulling timing belt 4 in the outer card storage slot 2 and is connected to the lifting mechanism 6 corresponding to the inner card storage slot 2.

[0029] On one side of the storage slot 2, adjacent to the lifting plate 5, there is also a magnetic control sensor 9 for pulling tiles, which is used to sense whether the last set of mahjong tiles in the storage slot 2 has entered the lifting plate 5.

[0030] The working principle of the inclined tile-loading mechanism of the portable mahjong machine provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0031] During shuffling, the stacked mahjong tiles are pushed into the storage slots 2 through the tile-loading hole 3. Each storage slot 2 is filled with mahjong tiles. When it is time to play a tile, the control button on the control panel 1 is pressed to start the drive motor 7 to rotate forward, which drives the drive gear 8 to rotate. The drive gear 8 drives the half gear 62 to rotate forward, which in turn drives the lifting control rod 63 to rotate and move it away from the underside of the lifting plate 5. At this time, the free end of the lifting plate 5 falls and rests against the inner bottom surface of the storage slot 2. At the same time, the drive gear 8 also drives the pull-tile timing belt 4 to slide towards one end of the lifting plate 5, which in turn drives the pull-tile block 41 to move the mahjong tiles toward the lifting plate 5. When the last set of mahjong tiles moves onto the lifting plate 5 and is locked by the one-way locking block 51, the drive motor 7 reverses, which drives the drive gear 8 to rotate. The drive gear 8 drives the half gear 62 to rotate in reverse, which in turn drives the lifting control rod 63 to rotate to the underside of the lifting plate 5, thus lifting the lifting plate 5 to be flush with the table surface, completing the tile play.

[0032] This utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned optional embodiments. Anyone can derive other forms of products under the guidance of this utility model. However, regardless of any changes made in its shape or structure, any technical solution that falls within the scope of the claims of this utility model shall be protected by this utility model.
