Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mahjong machine technology, and in particular to a novel five-sided mahjong machine. Background Technology

[0002] Mahjong, a board game with a rich historical and cultural heritage, is widely popular in China and among Chinese communities worldwide. Its strategic depth, engaging gameplay, and social interaction make it an important form of leisure, entertainment, and social gathering. Traditional mahjong is typically played by four people using 136 or 144 tiles (including flower tiles), and involves a series of rules including drawing, discarding, eating, ponging, konging, and winning.

[0003] With the development of technology and the acceleration of the pace of life, automatic mahjong machines have emerged. Through mechanical devices and electronic control systems, automatic mahjong machines achieve the functions of automatically shuffling, stacking, and dealing mahjong tiles, greatly saving time and effort compared to manual operation, improving the efficiency and convenience of the game, and further promoting the popularization and development of mahjong. Currently, most automatic mahjong machines on the market are designed for four players, which can well meet the needs of four-player mahjong games.

[0004] The rules of four-player mahjong are relatively fixed, and the gameplay variations are relatively limited. For players who crave novelty and variety, playing four-player mahjong for an extended period may become monotonous and boring. Furthermore, because the number of participants is fixed, the game size and rules cannot be flexibly adjusted based on the actual number of players, making it difficult to meet the personalized needs of different player groups. For example, in some small gatherings, only five people might want to play mahjong, but a four-player mahjong machine cannot directly meet this need, requiring someone to leave or find an alternative, causing inconvenience to the players. Therefore, this application proposes a novel five-sided mahjong machine, providing a new technical solution to address the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-6 A novel five-sided mahjong machine includes a main body 1, a shuffling tray 4 located at the center of the inner side of the main body 1, and a card picking and transporting system 5 located inside the main body 1. The main body 1 is pentagonal in shape, and a tabletop 2 is detachably connected to the upper end of the main body 1. The tabletop 2 has five card playing windows 3, which are arranged parallel to the five edges of the main body 1. There are five card picking and transporting systems 5, which are arranged in a circular array around the shuffling tray 4, and the positions of the five card picking and transporting systems 5 correspond to the positions of the five card playing windows 3.

[0028] Specifically, the tile picking and transporting system 5 is a mature existing technology. The tile picking and transporting system 5 specifically includes a tile feeding mechanism for picking up mahjong tiles from the shuffling tray 4 and sending them out, and a tile pushing mechanism for sending multiple stacks of mahjong tiles onto the mahjong machine table at once. It is widely used in the mahjong field, so it will not be described in detail in this application.

[0029] Furthermore, to facilitate the disassembly of the desktop panel 2 and aid in equipment maintenance, connecting brackets 7 are vertically fixed at the lower corners of the desktop panel 2. The connecting brackets 7 are inserted into the bottom of the device body 1, extending to the outer side of the bottom of the device body 1. A limiting frame 6 is provided at the bottom of the device body 1, and the limiting frame 6 is fastened to the device body 1 and the connecting brackets 7. To achieve a supporting effect on the desktop panel 2, a support frame 8 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the device body 1, with the top of the support frame 8 fitting snugly against the top of the desktop panel 2.

[0030] In order to facilitate the connection between the connecting bracket 7 and the limiting frame 6, a flexible member 9 is provided at each end corner of the limiting frame 6. A connecting groove 10 is provided on the flexible member 9, and the bottom of the connecting bracket 7 is inserted into the connecting groove 10.

[0031] In order to achieve the fastening of the connecting bracket 7 and the limiting frame 6, and the fastening of the limiting frame 6 and the device body 1, a first limiting protrusion 11 is fixedly connected inside the connecting through groove 10, a second limiting protrusion 12 is fixedly connected to the outside of the flexible part 9, and a fastening groove 13 is opened at the bottom of the connecting bracket 7. When the connecting bracket 7 and the connecting through groove 10 are inserted, the first limiting protrusion 11 and the fastening groove 13 fasten together. A fastening groove that cooperates with the second limiting protrusion 12 is opened at the bottom of the device body 1, and the second limiting protrusion 12 is fastened together with the fastening groove.

[0032] In order to achieve the fixing effect of the limiting frame 6, the limiting frame 6 is detachably and fixedly connected to the device body 1 at both ends of the flexible part 9 by fixing screws 14.

[0033] It can be seen that the support frame 8 supports the desktop panel 2, the desktop panel 2 is positioned and installed with the device body 1 through the connecting bracket 7, the limiting frame 6 is initially connected to the connecting bracket 7 through the flexible part 9, the first limiting protrusion 11 on the inner side of the connecting groove 10 is fastened to the fastening groove 13 at the bottom of the connecting bracket 7 to limit the connection between the connecting bracket 7 and the flexible part 9, the second limiting protrusion 12 is fastened to the device body 1, the fixing screw 14 is used to fix the limiting frame 6 to the device body 1, and the fastening state of the flexible part 9 and the connecting bracket 7, as well as the fastening state of the flexible part 9 and the device body 1, makes it difficult for the desktop panel 2 to separate from the device body 1.

[0034] When the desktop panel 2 needs to be removed, use a tool such as a flathead screwdriver to pry up the flexible part 9 so that the flexible part 9 is separated from the connecting bracket 7. After separating each of the five connecting brackets 7 from the corresponding flexible part 9, the desktop panel 2 can be removed from the top of the device body 1.
