Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mahjong machine technology, specifically to a mahjong machine panel clip and a mahjong machine. Background Technology

[0002] like Figure 1 As shown, the existing mahjong machine includes a base 30, four uprights 10 located at the four corners of the base, and a panel 20. The panel 20 is mounted on two adjacent uprights 10 via a hinge structure 40. The panel 20 can be flipped up around the hinge structure for easy maintenance and repair of the mahjong machine.

[0003] In mahjong machines with the above-mentioned structure, since the panel is not completely fixed, it is usually secured with cable ties or ordinary buckles at the opening and closing points of the panel during transportation to prevent the panel from shaking and causing damage. During on-site installation, the cable ties or ordinary buckles are removed to facilitate subsequent installation.

[0004] The drawback of the aforementioned mahjong machine is that, although cable ties and ordinary clips can limit the panel's movement to some extent, it is difficult to achieve a tight fit between the panel and the uprights. If there is significant bumping during transportation, the panel may still deform or be damaged. In addition, because the existing cable ties or ordinary clips interfere with the frame strip that needs to be installed, the cable ties or ordinary clips need to be removed before installing the frame strip. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a special mahjong machine panel clip and mahjong machine, so as to solve the technical defects of the prior art that there is a risk of panel deformation and damage during the transportation of mahjong machines.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a mahjong machine panel buckle, comprising at least a first clamping arm and a second clamping arm that are perpendicularly connected to each other, wherein the free ends of the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm are provided with clamping grooves that open inward, the upper ends of the first clamping arm and / or the second clamping arm are provided with upper clamping edges that extend vertically inward, and the inner walls of the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm are provided with protrusions that extend vertically inward.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the upper ends of the first and second clamping arms are each provided with an upper clamping edge, and the two upper clamping edges are provided with a notch at the connection between the first and second clamping arms.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the free ends of the first and second locking arms extend vertically inward to form a first extension arm, and the other end of the first extension arm is provided with a second extension arm extending vertically inward. The second extension arm, the first extension arm, and the first or second locking arm form the locking groove.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the second extension arm is provided with an inclined transition surface at the opening of the slot.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the device further includes a protrusion connected to the first extension arm, the protrusion being lower than the lower surface of the upper clamping edge and not extending beyond the outer surfaces of the first and second clamping arms.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the protrusion is provided with an arc-shaped recess.

[0012] A mahjong machine includes at least a base, four uprights disposed at the four corners of the base, and a panel. The panel is mounted on two adjacent uprights via a hinge structure. Each upright includes a first upright wall and a second upright wall that are perpendicularly connected to each other, and also includes the mahjong machine panel latch. The opening and closing side of the panel is connected to the uprights via the latch. The first and second upright walls are provided with latching holes for accommodating the protruding pillars. The distance between the lower surface of the upper latching edge and the axis of the upright is adapted to the distance between the upper surface of the panel and the axis of the latching hole. The first latching arm and the second latching arm are respectively attached to the first and second upright walls, and the edges of the first and second upright walls are engaged in the latching grooves.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the panel and the column are installed on one side via a hinge structure, and the panel and the column are connected by a snap-fit.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the edges of the first and second column walls are provided with folded edges that are adapted to the slot.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the mahjong machine panel latch and mahjong machine of this embodiment have the following advantages:

[0016] (1) The combination design of the first clamp arm, the second clamp arm, the upper clamp edge and the protruding column restricts the degree of freedom between the panel and the column. The fit between the panel and the column is better and the gap is smaller. During transportation and use, the buckle can protect the panel well and prevent the panel from deforming and affecting the quality of the mahjong machine.

[0017] (2) When installing the mahjong machine, the buckle does not interfere with the frame and the pressure strip, and the frame and pressure strip can be installed directly without removal.

[0018] (3) During later maintenance and repair, the buckles can be easily and quickly removed and installed without removing the frame. Attached Figure Description

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, an integral connection, or a detachable connection; they can refer to the internal connection of two components; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, a mahjong machine according to this embodiment includes a base 30, four uprights 10 disposed at the four corners of the base, and a panel 20. The panel 20 is mounted on two adjacent uprights 10 via hinge structures 40, and the panel 20 can be flipped up around the hinge structures. It should be noted that the above structure is a conventional existing structure, and specific details of the structure will not be elaborated in this embodiment.

[0030] As a special feature of this embodiment, in this embodiment, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the column 10 and the panel 20 are connected by a snap fastener 50. It should be noted that the snap fastener 50 can be set between the opening and closing side of the panel 20 and the column 10, or it can be set simultaneously on the side where the panel 20 and the column 10 are installed by the hinge structure 40.

[0031] In this embodiment, the structure of the column 10 is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the column includes a first column wall 11 and a second column wall 12 that are perpendicularly connected to each other. The first column wall 11 and the second column wall 12 are provided with a locking hole 13 near the upper end, and the edges of the first column wall 11 and the second column wall 12 are provided with a folded edge 14.

[0032] As a special feature of this embodiment, the mahjong machine panel latch 50 of this embodiment, such as... Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the device includes a first locking arm 51 and a second locking arm 52 that are perpendicularly connected to each other. The free ends of the first locking arm 51 and the second locking arm 52 are provided with locking slots 58 that open inwards. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the area between the first locking arm 51 and the second locking arm 52 is defined as the inner side.

[0033] In this embodiment, the upper ends of the first locking arm 51 and the second locking arm 52 are provided with upper locking edges 53 extending vertically inward. In this embodiment, both the first locking arm 51 and the second locking arm 52 are provided with upper locking edges 53, and a notch 55 is provided at the connection point of the two upper locking edges 53. It should be noted that, as an equivalent implementation, the upper locking edge 53 may be provided only in one of the first locking arm 51 and the second locking arm 52.

[0034] In this embodiment, the inner walls of the first card arm 51 and the second card arm 52 are provided with vertically inwardly extending protrusions 54, which are used to be inserted into the card hole 13.

[0035] In this embodiment, a preferred method of forming the slot 58 is as follows: a first extension arm 56 extends vertically inward from the free ends of the first card arm 51 and the second card arm 52; a second extension arm 57 extends vertically inward from the other end of the first extension arm 56; the second extension arm 57, the first extension arm 56, and the first or second card arm form the slot 58. In this embodiment, the width of the slot 58 is adapted to the width of the folded edge 14.

[0036] In this embodiment, preferably, the second extension arm 57 is provided with an inclined transition surface 59 at the opening of the slot 58. The purpose of this arrangement is to facilitate the folded edge 14 to enter the slot 58 when the buckle is installed on the column.

[0037] In this embodiment, a protrusion 510 connected to the first extension arm 56 is also included. The protrusion 510 is lower than the lower surface of the upper locking edge 53 and does not extend beyond the outer surfaces of the first locking arm 51 and the second locking arm 52. The purpose of providing the protrusion is to facilitate the operator to apply force with their fingers when installing and removing the buckle.

[0038] In this embodiment, preferably, the protrusion 510 is provided with an arc-shaped concave portion, which increases the contact area with the operator's fingers and provides a better operating experience.

[0039] In this embodiment, the mahjong machine panel latch 50, during installation, firstly aligns the protruding post with the latching hole, applies external force to the protruding part to open the first and second latching arms, then inserts the protruding part into the latching hole, so that the folded edges of the first and second column walls enter the latching grooves of the first and second latching arms. Based on the fact that the distance between the lower surface of the upper latching edge and the axis of the column matches the distance between the upper surface of the panel and the axis of the latching hole, the first and second latching arms respectively fit against the first and second column walls. After installation, the panel and the column are tightly fitted, and the wobbling gap between them is negligible. During transportation, the panel will not wobble relative to the column, thus ensuring that the panel will not be damaged or deformed.

[0040] Furthermore, since there is also a gap on the side where the hinge structure is located, installing the clip on that side further eliminates the gap between the panel and the post.

[0041] In this embodiment, the dedicated clip does not interfere with the pressure frame strip, allowing the pressure frame strip to be installed directly without disassembling the clip. When maintenance is required, the clip can be easily detached by applying external force to the protrusion, and can be reinstalled after maintenance is completed.

[0042] In summary, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
