Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mahjong machines, and in particular to a multi-functional mahjong machine control panel and the mahjong machine thereof. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of automatic mahjong machines, the control panel, as the core component for user interaction, directly determines the ease of use and entertainment experience. With the increasing popularity of mahjong in daily entertainment, users' demands for diverse control panel functions are rising.

[0003] The patent document with authorization announcement number CN212141436U targets the control panel of a traditional automatic mahjong machine, which has relatively simple functions. It typically includes only core components such as a dice-throwing chamber cover, basic directional buttons, and lifting buttons, enabling only basic functions like dice throwing and controlling the control panel's height.12 This simple design has significant limitations: due to the lack of expandable features, the control panel cannot provide more diverse interactive options, resulting in poor overall playability. Users can only perform the most basic game control operations, making it difficult to personalize settings according to individual preferences or game needs, and also unable to obtain more game-related information through the control panel. Long-term use can easily lead to user fatigue due to the limited functionality.

[0004] Although the patent with authorization announcement number CN212141436U proposes an improved solution by adding independent shift buttons and a display screen, and connecting to the mahjong machine control system via a circuit board to expand functionality 12, the traditional control panel's limited functionality and insufficient playability remain common shortcomings in existing technologies, failing to meet users' demands for a rich interactive experience. Therefore, further optimization of the design to enhance functional diversity and playability is of great significance in addressing the issue of the simple functional configuration of existing control panels.

[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 The present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the embodiments.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] The multi-functional mahjong machine control panel includes a control panel 1. The control panel 1 has four dice-rolling buttons and two lifting buttons. The four dice-rolling buttons are not shown in the diagram. The control panel 1 has multiple downward-recessed mounting grooves 11, which are circular. In this embodiment, there are four mounting grooves 11 evenly distributed on the control panel 1. At the bottom of each mounting groove 11 is an upward-protruding positioning post 12. The positioning post 12 is cylindrical and integrally formed at the center of the mounting groove 11. A bearing 2 is fitted onto the positioning post 12 and placed within the mounting groove 11. The inner ring of the bearing 2 is fastened to the positioning post 12. A turntable 3 is mounted on the outer ring of the bearing 2. The turntable 3 can be rotated by the user, and it rotates on the positioning post 12 via the bearing 2. The positioning post 12 at the bottom of the mounting groove 11 provides precise positioning for the bearing 2. The structural design connecting the outer ring of the bearing 2 to the turntable 3 effectively reduces frictional resistance during rotation, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted rotation. At the same time, the cooperation between the positioning column 12 and the bearing 2 can distribute the force on the turntable 3, reduce the probability of wear after long-term use, improve structural stability and service life, and avoid functional abnormalities caused by frequent rotation.

[0029] The spinning wheel 3 allows players to spin it during game breaks or while waiting, providing an immediate stress-relieving method through physical interaction and enriching the non-functional interactive value of the control panel. This design overcomes the limitations of traditional control panels with their single function, further expanding the user interaction scenarios beyond dice rolling and raising / lowering, enhancing the fun and experience during entertainment.

[0030] The top end face of the turntable 3 exposes the groove of the mounting slot 11, allowing users to more intuitively access the turntable 3 and easily move it without having to go deep into the mounting slot 11. This greatly facilitates people's operation of the turntable 3 at any time and improves the convenience of use.

[0031] The inner ring of bearing 2 is interference-fitted with the positioning pin 12, and the outer ring of bearing 2 is interference-fitted with the turntable 3. This ensures that the connection between bearing 2, positioning pin 12, and turntable 3 is firm and reliable, preventing loosening or displacement during use.

[0032] The turntable 3 includes a bushing portion 31 and a dial 32 disposed above it. The dial 32 is integrally formed on the bushing portion 31, and the outer diameter of the dial 32 is larger than the outer diameter of the bushing portion 31. The bushing portion 31 is fitted onto the bearing 2, which can realize a stable connection between the turntable 3 and the bearing 2, ensuring the structural stability during rotation. The design of the outer diameter of the dial 3's dial 3's dial 3 being larger than that of the bushing portion 31 has a dual advantage: on the one hand, the larger outer diameter provides the user with a larger finger area for finger operation, which conforms to the design logic of optimizing the human-computer interaction of the control panel, making it easier for the user to apply force and operate more smoothly when turning the turntable 3, thus improving the ease of use; on the other hand, the larger outer diameter of the dial 32 can cover the port of the mounting groove 11, so that the control panel surface does not need an additional structure to block the mounting groove 11, reducing the dispersion of the panel surface components, thereby making the overall structure more compact.

[0033] A through hole 33 is provided in the middle of the turntable 3, and a cover plate 4 is fixed on the positioning post 12, which closes to the end of the through hole 33. The cover plate 4 provides a stable finger support point for the user. When the user rotates the turntable 3, one finger can be supported on the cover plate 4, and the other finger can be used to operate the finger lever 32, allowing for better control of the force when rotating the turntable 3. At the same time, the structure of the cover plate 4 covering the through hole 33 can also conceal internal components, making the turntable 3 look cleaner and coordinating with the overall compact design of the control panel, further enhancing the user experience.

[0034] The positioning post 12 has a socket 121, and the lower end of the cover plate 4 has a plug-in part 41. The plug-in part 41 is cylindrical and engages with the socket 121, securing the cover plate 4 to the positioning post 12. This ensures that the cover plate 4 remains stable and does not loosen during the rotation of the turntable 3, providing a reliable finger support point for the user and guaranteeing stability during rotation. Furthermore, this design facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the cover plate 4; if replacement or repair is required, simply separate the plug-in part 41 from the socket 121.

[0035] The top of the dial 32 is provided with an anti-slip part, which consists of multiple grooves 321 evenly distributed on the dial 32. The multiple grooves 321 are arranged in a circumferential array on the end face of the dial 32, forming a ring-shaped wave surface. The multiple evenly distributed grooves 321 increase the friction between the finger and the dial 32, effectively preventing the user's finger from slipping when turning the dial 3, ensuring more stable and precise rotation operation.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] Example 2 is basically the same as Example 1, except that the top of the finger shifter 32 is provided with an anti-slip part for anti-slip. The anti-slip part is a number of protrusions that are evenly distributed on the finger shifter 32. The protrusions are raised points, and the multiple raised points are evenly distributed on the end face of the finger shifter 32.
