[0002] As a traditional entertainment activity, mahjong is deeply loved by the public. With the development of science and technology, automatic mahjong machines have gradually become an important tool for people's leisure and entertainment. Compared with the traditional manual dice throwing method, the automatic mahjong machine determines the dealer and the position of grabbing the tiles through the operation panel, greatly facilitating the players, saving time, and improving the game experience.

[0003] The operation panel of the automatic mahjong machine on the market is mainly mechanical. This design simulates the traditional manual dice throwing process through physical devices. Specifically, the mechanical operation panel is equipped with a dice cavity inside, which is driven to rotate by a motor, thereby driving the dice inside the cavity to roll, and finally randomly stopping and displaying the points. To some extent, this method restores the authenticity of the traditional mahjong dice throwing, creating a more traditional game atmosphere for players.

[0004] However, the mechanical operation panel has relatively simple functions, only meeting the basic needs of determining the dealer and the position of grabbing the tiles, and lacks more intelligent or expandable functions. In addition, during the process of throwing the dice, the noise generated by the motor operation and the collision of the dice with the cavity wall may affect the user experience, especially in a quiet environment, this noise is particularly noticeable.

Since the dice rotating disc 4 is arranged inside the operation disc and is difficult to be observed, the user can observe the points on the dice rotating disc 4 through the reflection of the observation mirror 6.

[0034] The dice points are arranged in 4*X groups, X is an integer, and X is greater than or equal to 1. Each group of dice points is composed of points 1-6, and if the dice rotating disc 4 is evenly divided into four parts, the dice points in each part are the same in terms of the number and size of the points.

[0035] The observation mirror 6 is provided with four sides and is uniformly arranged around the point viewing seat 5 in the circumferential direction. The observation mirror 6 is arranged to be inclined towards the user in four directions. When the driving motor 3 drives the dice rotating disc 4 to rotate and stop, the dice points are reflected by the observation mirror 6 and are observed by the user through the transparent area 2-1 on the operation panel 2. At this time, the dice points observed by each user are consistent.

[0036] The dice rotating disc 4 is provided with two groups, and the driving motor 3 is drivingly connected with the two groups of dice rotating discs 4 through two groups of planetary gear sets. As a preferred scheme of the embodiment, the two groups of planetary gear sets have different numbers of teeth, so that the two rotating discs can rotate independently, thereby generating more complex random point combinations and further improving the fairness and interest of the game. In order to prevent the planetary gear set from affecting the observation of the dice points, the position of the planetary gear set is staggered with the observation mirror 6.

[0037] The control mainboard 7 is further arranged in the inner cavity and is electrically connected with the driving motor 3.

[0038] The operation panel 2 is provided with a dice button 8, and the dice button 8 is electrically connected with the control mainboard 7. Correspondingly, the dice button 8 is also provided with four groups, and the position of the dice button 8 corresponds to the position of the observation mirror 6, that is, each user has an observation mirror 6 and a dice button 8 in front of him.

[0039] The upper end surface of the point viewing seat 5 is flush with the operation panel 2, and the upper end surface of the point viewing seat 5 is provided with a lifting button 9, and the lifting button 9 is electrically connected with the control mainboard 7. The lifting of the operation panel is controlled by pressing the lifting button 9.

[0040] The mahjong machine operation panel of the utility model forms the inner cavity between the tray 1 and the operation panel 2, and integrates the driving motor 3, the dice rotating disc 4 and the point viewing seat 5, realizes the high integration of the functional module, not only saves the space, but also improves the overall aesthetic property, and is convenient for the user to operate. The dice points are reflected to the transparent area 2-1 through the observation mirror 6, the effect of traditional dice throwing is simulated, the immersion and the reality of the user are enhanced, the science and technology of the mahjong machine are improved, and the noise problem that may be generated by the traditional mechanical type dice cavity is avoided.

[0041] The above specific embodiments further illustrate the purpose, technical scheme and beneficial effects of the utility model, and it should be understood that the above description is only for the specific embodiments of the utility model and is not used to limit the utility model. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement and the like made within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
