[0002] Mahjong is a traditional Chinese recreational tool. After use, a set of mahjong tiles accumulates a lot of stains, sweat, dust, and bacteria, requiring cleaning after each game. The three existing cleaning methods are: First, manual cleaning, where the mahjong tiles are placed face up, sprayed with cleaning agent, and then wiped one by one. After cleaning one side, the tiles are flipped over to clean the second side – a time-consuming and laborious process with extremely low efficiency. Second, using automated cleaning machines for playing cards and tiles. These machines typically have vertically arranged cleaning rollers or a drum-like structure similar to a washing machine, making it inconvenient to remove the tiles before and after cleaning. Furthermore, they are not dry-cleaning, resulting in less thorough cleaning, and the range of types they can clean is limited. Third, automated mahjong cleaning machines require human assistance to play the tiles after cleaning, making them not fully automatic. Therefore, to avoid the shortcomings of existing technologies, it is necessary to improve them. Utility Model Content
