Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of mahjong machines, and in particular relates to a tile-lifting plate structure and a mahjong machine. Background Technology

[0002] A mahjong machine is a device specifically designed for automating the mahjong game, enabling players to enjoy the game more efficiently and conveniently. Its main functions include automatically shuffling, dealing, and arranging the tiles, as well as replacing manual operation, thus enhancing the game's smoothness and entertainment value.

[0003] A search revealed that application (publication) number 201720628918.X discloses: a lifting mechanism for an electric tile sorting machine, wherein the vertical front end of the tile lifting plate has an arc-shaped part for guiding the tiles, the purpose of which is to neatly guide the mahjong tiles being conveyed onto the lifting plate; the traditional metal tile lifting plate can have its angle adjusted by bending the arc-shaped part, thereby adapting to the smooth passage of mahjong tiles of different sizes;

[0004] However, due to considerations of lightweighting and cost control, some products use plastic injection molding to manufacture the tile-lifting plate. After the plastic material is cured, the angle of its curved part can no longer be adjusted. This makes it impossible for such plastic tile-lifting plates to be adaptively adjusted according to the actual size of the mahjong tiles used, which has become a problem that urgently needs to be solved. Secondly, since the tile-lifting plate needs to bear the weight of the mahjong tiles at the top, the strength of the injection-molded tile-lifting plate is not good. Long-term use can easily cause the two ends to collapse. Moreover, pressing the two ends of the tile-lifting plate downward from the outside of the mahjong machine will also cause obvious bending, affecting the quality. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tile-raising plate structure and a mahjong machine, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model relates to a tile-lifting plate structure, comprising a plate body. The plate body includes a horizontal tile-lifting plate and a vertical tile-guide plate, integrally formed by injection molding. The tile-guide plate has an avoidance opening at the end near where the mahjong tiles enter. A groove is formed at the bottom of the tile-lifting plate, and a reinforcing plate with metal components is connected in the groove. A connecting seat and an arc-shaped guide plate are installed at the avoidance opening. A connecting block is fixed to the upper side of the connecting seat and is fixedly installed with the reinforcing plate and the tile-lifting plate. The arc-shaped guide plate is installed on the connecting seat, and the outer sides of the tile-guide plate and the connecting seat are flush. The arc-shaped guide plate bends inward on the connecting seat.

[0008] Furthermore, the arc-shaped guide plate is bent into a bent portion and a connecting portion at the end near the adapter seat.

[0009] Furthermore, the adapter has a first clearance groove at the front end and a second clearance groove at the rear end. A through groove is provided between the first clearance groove and the second clearance groove. The arc-shaped guide plate fits into the through groove, the connecting part is located in the through groove, and the connecting part fits into the second clearance groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the reinforcing plate is bent into shape on both sides along its length to fit and contact the plate body.

[0011] Furthermore, the lifting plate has a first through hole, the reinforcing plate has a second through hole, and the connecting block has a third through hole. The screw passes through the first through hole and the second through hole and is then threaded into the third through hole.

[0012] Furthermore, the lifting plate has several fourth through holes, and the reinforcing plate has fifth connecting holes corresponding to the fourth through holes. The screw passes through the fifth connecting hole and is threadedly pressed into the fourth through hole.

[0013] Furthermore, a seventh through hole is provided in the connecting part, and a sixth through hole corresponding to the seventh through hole is provided in the second relief groove.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This utility model installs an arc-shaped guide plate by setting an adapter seat with a strength greater than that of the guide plate. The arc-shaped guide plate can be adjusted according to the size of the mahjong tiles. The adapter seat supports the guide plate to prevent it from deforming. The independent structure of the adapter seat also makes it easy to replace later.

[0017] This utility model, by setting a sinkhole and installing a reinforcing plate, strengthens the overall structure of the plate, preventing it from bending or collapsing easily, and enhancing durability while reducing weight and controlling costs.

[0018] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model 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 utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around" and other terms indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model is a tile-lifting plate structure, including a plate body 1. The plate body 1 includes a horizontal tile-lifting plate 11 and a vertical tile-guide plate 12, which are integrally formed by injection molding. The tile-guide plate 12 has an avoidance opening 121 at the end near where the mahjong tiles enter. The bottom of the tile-lifting plate 11 has a recessed groove 111, and a reinforcing plate 2 of metal components is connected in the recessed groove 111. The reinforcing plate 2 is bent into two 21 on both sides along the length direction and is in close contact with the plate body 1. By setting 21, it can play a reinforcing role in the length direction of the tile-lifting plate 11, preventing bending deformation. Moreover, the overall structure of the reinforcing plate 2 can be formed by bending, thus controlling costs.

[0029] Furthermore, an adapter 3 and an arc-shaped guide plate 4 are installed at the clearance 121. A connecting block 31 is fixed to the upper side of the adapter 3 and is fixedly installed with the reinforcing plate 2 and the lifting plate 11. The arc-shaped guide plate 4 is installed on the adapter 3. The guide plate 12 is flush with the outer side of the adapter 3. The arc-shaped guide plate 4 bends inward on the adapter 3. In this embodiment, the curvature of the arc-shaped guide plate 4 and the adapter 3 are smoothly transitioned to ensure that the mahjong tiles can be transported smoothly.

[0030] Furthermore, both the plate 1 and the adapter 3 are injection molded, and the material can be one or more of PC, ABS, and PVC mixed molding; both the reinforcing plate 2 and the adapter 3 are made of metal plate cutting and bending. The metal reinforcing plate 2 ensures structural strength, and the metal adapter 3 can be bent to adjust the curvature, so as to adapt to the conveying of mahjong tiles of different sizes.

[0031] Specifically, the curved guide plate 4 is bent into a bent portion 41 and a connecting portion 42 near the adapter seat 3. The adapter seat 3 has a first clearance groove 32 at the front end and a second clearance groove 34 at the rear end. A through groove 33 is provided between the first clearance groove 32 and the second clearance groove 34. The curved guide plate 4 fits into the through groove 33. The connecting portion 42 is located in the through groove 33 and fits into the second clearance groove 34. In this embodiment, the way the curved guide plate 4 passes through the adapter seat 3 and is connected strengthens the structural strength after connection, while avoiding loosening between the two and ensuring durability.

[0032] Specifically, the lifting plate 11 has a first through hole 112, the reinforcing plate 2 has a second through hole 22, and the connecting block 31 has a third through hole 311. The screw passes through the first through hole 112 and the second through hole 22 and is threaded into the third through hole 311. In this embodiment, the upper end of the first through hole 112 is formed with a countersunk groove for the screw cap to enter. When the screw is connected to the third through hole 311, the cap enters the countersunk groove to ensure the flatness of the top surface of the lifting plate 11. The third through hole 311 can be provided with a threaded groove to cooperate with the screw; or it can be without a threaded groove and a self-tapping screw can be used for connection.

[0033] Specifically, the lifting plate 11 has several fourth through holes 113, and the reinforcing plate 2 has fifth connecting holes 23 corresponding to the fourth through holes 113. After the screw passes through the fifth connecting hole 23, it is threaded and pressed into the fourth through hole 113. In this embodiment, the fourth through hole 113 can have a threaded groove to cooperate with the screw, or it can be without a threaded groove and a self-tapping screw can be used for connection. After the screw is connected, the front end should not protrude from the upper surface of the lifting plate 11. The multiple connection points ensure a reliable connection between the reinforcing plate 2 and the plate body 1. The reinforcing plate 2 supports the entire length of the plate body 1.

[0034] Specifically, a seventh through hole 421 is provided in the connecting part 42, and a sixth through hole 35 corresponding to the seventh through hole 421 is provided in the second clearance groove 34. After the screw passes through the seventh through hole 421, it is threaded and pressed into the sixth through hole 35. In this embodiment, a threaded groove can be provided in the sixth through hole 35 to cooperate with the screw, or no threaded groove can be provided, and a self-tapping screw can be used for connection. After the screw is connected, the front end must not protrude from the front end of the adapter 3 to prevent it from affecting the transport of mahjong tiles.

[0035] This utility model also provides a mahjong machine, including the above-mentioned tile-lifting plate structure. The tile-lifting plate structure is installed on the pushing mechanism of the mahjong machine. The pushing mechanism includes a tile-pushing component and a tile-lifting component, which are installed on the tile-pushing platform and respectively act to push and lift the mahjong tiles after they enter. Specifically, during operation, the tile-lifting plate is in a high position, and a mahjong tile conveying channel is formed between the tile-lifting plate and the tile-pushing plate. The conveying mechanism conveys the mahjong tiles to the tile-pushing platform. After the conveying is completed, the tile-lifting plate descends, and the tile-pushing plate on the side pushes the arranged mahjong tiles onto the tile-lifting plate. Then, the tile-lifting plate pushes the mahjong tiles upward onto the mahjong machine platform.

[0036] It is understandable that this utility model uses a stronger independent adapter to install the adjustable arc-shaped guide plate, which avoids the guide plate from deforming under stress and is easy to replace; at the same time, the plate is reinforced by adding a reinforcing plate to the sink, which effectively prevents bending and collapse and improves durability while controlling weight and cost.

[0037] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: both the plate 1 and the adapter 3 are injection molded, 21 is bent on the reinforcing plate 2, and the curvature of the arc guide plate 4, as well as the bent part 41 and the connecting part 42, are all bent.

[0038] During assembly, the reinforcing plate 2 is attached to the recess 111. The screw passes through the fifth connecting hole 23 and is threaded into the fourth through hole 113, thereby fixing the reinforcing plate 2 to the plate body 1. The adapter 3 is mated to the bottom of the reinforcing plate 2 and the third through hole 311 is coaxial with the second through hole 22 and the first through hole 112. The screw passes through the first through hole 112 and the second through hole 22 from top to bottom and is threaded into the third through hole 311. The adapter 3 is tightly attached to the plate body 1. The connecting part 42 passes through the through groove 33 and enters the second relief groove 34. The bent part 41 is located in the through groove 33. The arc-shaped guide plate 4 is partially located in the first relief groove 32. The screw passes through the seventh through hole 421 and is threaded into the sixth through hole 35.
