[0024] The utility model will be further described in detail in combination with the drawings and examples. Figures 1-3 And example to the utility model. Example 1
[0025] The magnetic suspension type mahjong storing track comprises a mahjong storing rack body 1, a mahjong storing track 11 for storing mahjong tiles is arranged on the mahjong storing rack body 1, and track magnets 2 that repel magnets in the mahjong tiles are arranged on the bottom of the mahjong storing track 11. Because the track magnets 2 repel the magnets in the mahjong tiles, the mahjong tiles are not tightly attached to the bottom surface of the mahjong storing track 11. When the mahjong tiles are pushed on the mahjong storing track 11 by a tile pushing motor, the friction between the mahjong tiles and the mahjong storing track 11 is small. Because the friction is small, the tile pushing motor can be a small power motor, thereby reducing the energy consumption and cost of the mahjong machine.
[0026] The mahjong storing track 11 is a spiral track groove extending upwards. The mahjong storing track 11 is designed as a spiral track groove extending upwards, so that a longer track length can be achieved in a limited space, and the storage and pushing path of the mahjong tiles is more compact. The groove bottom of the mahjong storing track 11 is provided with at least one first mounting groove 12. In this embodiment, the number of the first mounting grooves 12 is six. The track magnets 2 are arranged in the first mounting grooves 12, that is, the track magnets 2 are arranged in each of the first mounting grooves 12. The track magnets 2 are arranged in the first mounting grooves 12 in the groove bottom of the mahjong storing track 11, and the mahjong tiles are suspended and supported by the magnetic force, so that the friction of the mahjong tiles in the spiral track groove is further reduced, the mahjong tiles can move smoothly and stably in the complex spiral path, and the problem of tile jamming or poor movement caused by excessive friction is avoided.
[0027] The number of the track magnets 2 is multiple. In this embodiment, the number of the track magnets 2 corresponds to the number of the first mounting grooves 12, and the number of the track magnets 2 is also six. All the track magnets 2 are arranged at equal intervals on the mahjong storing track 11. When the mahjong tiles move on the mahjong storing track 11, the magnetic force acting on the mahjong tiles is always stable and uniform, so that the problem of unstable movement or increased local friction of the mahjong tiles caused by uneven magnetic force is avoided. The upper end surface of the track magnet 2 is flush with the groove bottom surface of the mahjong storing track 11, so that the track magnet 2 does not protrude, and the mahjong tiles do not interfere with the track magnet 2 when the mahjong tiles move on the track, thereby ensuring smooth movement of the mahjong tiles. Embodiment
[0028] The embodiment 2 has the same features as the embodiment 1, except that the bottom of the storage track 11 is provided with a light plate 3, which covers the track magnet 2. The light plate 3 covers the track magnet 2, forming a flat and smooth surface. Since the surface of the light plate 3 has a low friction coefficient, the contact friction between the mahjong tiles and the light plate 3 is further reduced when the mahjong tiles move on the storage track 11, and the friction is significantly reduced compared to direct contact with the bottom surface of the track, thereby facilitating smooth movement of the mahjong tiles. The light plate 3 is installed on the bottom of the storage track 11, covering the track magnet 2, so that the bottom of the storage track 11 forms a continuous and flat surface. This flat surface can reduce the bumping or jamming phenomenon of the mahjong tiles during movement due to the uneven surface of the track, further improving the stability of the movement of the mahjong tiles.
[0029] The light plate 3 is spiral-shaped, and the curvature of the light plate 3 is the same as that of the storage track 11. The upper end surface of the light plate 3 is flush with the bottom surface of the storage track 11, which ensures that the bottom surface of the storage track 11 is flat and continuous. When the mahjong tiles move on the track, there is no bumping or jamming phenomenon due to the height difference between the light plate 3 and the track, thereby ensuring the stability and smoothness of the movement of the mahjong tiles.
[0030] The upper end surface of the light plate 3 is provided with at least one light plate groove 31. In this embodiment, the number of light plate grooves 31 is two. The light plate groove 31 extends from one end of the light plate 3 to the other end, and the two ends of the light plate groove 31 penetrate the side wall of the light plate 3. The light plate groove 31 is designed to reduce the contact area between the mahjong tiles and the bottom surface, thereby reducing the friction of the mahjong tiles during movement. Embodiment 2
[0031] The embodiment 3 has the same features as the embodiment 2, except that the storage track 11 is provided with a second mounting groove 13 extending from one end to the other end, the bottom surface of the second mounting groove 13 is recessed downward to form the first mounting groove 12, the light plate 3 is installed on the second mounting groove 13 and covers the first mounting groove 12, and the light plate 3 is fastened to the storage rack body 1 by screws. This installation method makes the combination of the light plate 3 and the storage track 11 more compact, enhancing the stability of the entire track structure. The light plate 3 not only reduces friction, but also prevents the track magnet 2 from loosening or shifting during operation due to vibration or external force. Embodiment 3
