Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a feeding plate structure for a mahjong cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] Mahjong, as a widely popular recreational card, is prone to contamination due to frequent hand contact during long-term use, making its cleaning a significant necessity. However, traditional manual cleaning methods require wiping each of the six surfaces of every tile individually, which is cumbersome, inefficient, and labor-intensive, failing to meet users' requirements for both cleaning quality and convenience.

[0003] Currently, although semi-automatic mahjong cleaning equipment exists, standard mahjong tables typically have upward-extending baffles around their perimeter. While these baffles effectively prevent tiles from falling during gameplay, they hinder cleaning staff from directly and continuously feeding the piled-up mahjong tiles into the cleaning machine's feed port. Consequently, cleaning staff must manually pick up each tile and feed it into the cleaning drum. This process not only reduces the overall efficiency of the cleaning operation but also increases the manual workload, making the mahjong cleaning process rather cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a feeding plate structure for a mahjong washing machine.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A feeding plate structure for a mahjong washing machine includes a housing and a feeding hole opened on the housing. The housing is provided with a feeding plate that can rotate to close or open the feeding hole. A folding plate is flipped on the side of the feeding plate away from the feeding hole.

[0007] Preferably, the feed plate is provided with a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the machine housing, and the rotating shaft and the folding plate are distributed opposite to each other at the front and rear ends of the feed plate.

[0008] Preferably, baffles are provided on both sides of the feed plate and the folding plate, and a guide plate is provided on the feed plate that is inclined upward and extends toward the feed hole.

[0009] Preferably, the feed plate is provided with a hinge that rotatably connects to the folding plate.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] A feeding plate is installed at the feeding hole above the cleaning cylinder, and a folding plate is further hinged to the feeding plate. By flipping the folding plate relative to the feeding plate at a certain angle, the folding plate can be directly pressed against the mahjong table. The mahjong tiles on the table can then be pushed smoothly and continuously into the cleaning cylinder for cleaning through the folding plate and the feeding plate, which effectively improves the cleaning efficiency of the mahjong tiles and reduces the manual operation burden.

[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0028] In the description of this specification, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or unit referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0029] like Figures 1-5 As shown in the figure, this embodiment discloses a feeding plate structure for a mahjong cleaning machine, including a housing 1 and a feeding hole 111 opened on the housing 1. The housing 1 is provided with a feeding plate 2 that can rotate to close or open the feeding hole 111. The feeding plate 2 is provided with a rotating shaft 21 that is rotatably connected to the housing 1. The feeding plate 2 achieves its rotation relative to the housing 1 through the rotating shaft 21. When not in use for cleaning, the feeding plate 2 rotates to cover the feeding hole 111; when it is necessary to clean the mahjong, the feeding plate 2 can rotate in the opposite direction toward the mahjong table where the mahjong is placed.

[0030] Furthermore, a folding plate 24 is flipped on the side of the feeding plate 2 away from the feeding hole 111. The rotating shaft 21 and the folding plate 24 are distributed opposite to each other at the front and rear ends of the feeding plate 2. A hinge 23 is provided on the feeding plate 2 to rotatably connect the folding plate 24. The folding plate 24 is hinged to the feeding plate 2 through the hinge 23. By flipping the folding plate 24 relative to the feeding plate 2 at a certain angle, the folding plate 24 can be directly pressed against the mahjong table. In this way, the mahjong tiles on the table can be directly and smoothly pushed into the cleaning cylinder 3 through the folding plate 24 and the feeding plate 2 for cleaning and disinfection, which can effectively improve cleaning efficiency and reduce the manual operation burden.

[0031] The feeding plate 2 and the folding plate 24 are provided with baffles 25 on both sides. The baffles 25 on both sides can prevent the mahjong from falling off the folding plate 24 or the feeding plate 2 when pushing the mahjong. The feeding plate 2 is provided with a guide plate 22 that is inclined upward and extends toward the feeding hole 111. The inclined guide plate 22 can feed the mahjong into the feeding hole 111 more smoothly and prevent the mahjong from getting stuck between the feeding plate 2 and the feeding hole 111.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 14 As shown, this embodiment also discloses a mahjong cleaning machine, including the above-mentioned feeding plate structure. The feeding hole 111 is opened at the top of the housing 1, and the bottom of the housing 1 is provided with casters 18. The casters 18 are provided to facilitate the movement of the housing 1.

[0033] The machine housing 1 is provided with a cleaning cylinder 3 and a collection basket 43 located below the feed hole 111. A feed plate 2 is provided at the feed hole 111 above the cleaning cylinder 3. A brush 39 is provided on the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 3 and is rotatably positioned above the collection basket 43. That is, the cleaning cylinder 3 and the collection basket 43 are arranged vertically inside the machine housing 1.

[0034] The casing 1 is equipped with an ultraviolet lamp 15 and a fan 16 and a heating tube 17 located below the collection basket 43. The ultraviolet lamp 15 is installed on the side wall of the casing 1, and the fan 16 and the heating tube 17 are installed on the bottom of the casing 1.

[0035] The cleaning cylinder 3 is provided with a feed inlet 31 corresponding to the position of the feed hole 111 and a door plate 32 rotatably provided at the feed inlet 31. The door plate 32 can be rotated to open the feed inlet 31, thereby making the feed hole 111 and the feed inlet 31 vertically spaced and opposite each other. The feed hole 111 is provided with a feed guide plate 11 extending downward at an inclination, so that the mahjong tiles fed from the feed hole 111 can be better guided down to the feed inlet 31 through the feed guide plate 11.

[0036] The cleaning cylinder 3 is provided with a spray pipe 12 that is inclined towards the feed inlet 31. The spray pipe 12 delivers atomized cleaning agent into the cleaning cylinder 3 through the feed inlet 31, so that the cleaning agent can fully contact the mahjong tiles in the cleaning cylinder 3.

[0037] The cleaning cylinder 3 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 via a rotating shaft 38. The rotating shaft 38 passes through the cleaning cylinder 3 and is rotatably connected to the housing 1 at both ends, so as to drive the cleaning cylinder 3 to rotate. A brush 39 is provided on the rotating shaft 38. Furthermore, a cylinder plate 33 is provided on the inner circumference of the cleaning cylinder 3, and a brush 39 is provided on the inner wall of the cylinder plate 33.

[0038] Furthermore, during the rolling process of the cleaning drum 3, the mahjong tiles are efficiently scrubbed by the brush 39 to improve the cleaning effect. After the mahjong tiles are cleaned, the cleaning drum 3 rotates and the mahjong tiles inside fall into the collection basket 43, so that the mahjong tiles can be disinfected and sterilized a second time by the ultraviolet lamp 15, which greatly improves the cleaning, stain removal, disinfection and sterilization effect of the mahjong tiles.

[0039] Furthermore, by cooperating with the fan 16 and the heating tube 17, hot air is delivered to the mahjong tiles in the collection basket 43 to dry them. Specifically, by setting up a collection basket 43 for storing mahjong tiles below the cleaning cylinder 3, the mahjong tiles can be dried in the collection basket 43, thereby realizing the integration of cleaning, disinfection, storage and drying, thus improving the cleaning efficiency and ease of operation of the mahjong tiles, and ensuring the cleaning effect of the mahjong tiles.

[0040] To improve the reliability of the cleaning cylinder 3, two door panels 32 are provided and are rotatably connected to the feed inlet 31. That is, two door panels 32 that can rotate relative to each other to close or open the feed inlet 31 are provided on the cleaning cylinder 3. By providing two door panels 32 to open the feed inlet 31, compared with the existing method of providing a single door panel 32, the height required for the two door panels 32 to rotate and open is relatively low, thereby reasonably compressing and optimizing the volume of the equipment, so as to achieve a more compact and small structural layout of the equipment.

[0041] Furthermore, by rotating the two door panels 32 relative to each other to open, an inclined guide surface can be formed on both sides, so that the mahjong tiles can be smoothly and reliably sent into the cleaning tube 3.

[0042] To improve the stability of the door panel 32 rotation, an arc-shaped rack 35 connected to the door panel 32 is slidably provided on the cleaning cylinder 3. One side of the arc-shaped rack 35 meshes with the drive tooth 34. The drive tooth 34 rotates to drive the arc-shaped rack 35 to rotate at a certain angle, thereby driving the door panel 32 to rotate and open through the arc-shaped rack 35.

[0043] The other side of the arc-shaped rack 35 is abutted by an abutting wheel 351, which abuts and limits the rotation of the arc-shaped rack 35 to make the rotation of the arc-shaped rack 35 more stable.

[0044] Furthermore, the drive tooth 34 is engaged with a driven tooth 342, and there are two arc-shaped racks 35, which are respectively engaged with the drive tooth 34 and the driven tooth 342. The outer sides of the two arc-shaped racks 35 are abutted by abutment wheels 351. The drive tooth 34 is connected to a motor 341 that drives it to rotate, so that the drive tooth 34 and the driven tooth 342 are driven to rotate by the motor 341, and the two arc-shaped racks 35 are respectively driven to rotate to open or close the feed port 31.

[0045] Each of the two door panels 32 is respectively provided with a plug plate 36 and a pin 37. The pin 37 can be displaced and plugged into the plug plate 36. By plugging the pin 37 into the plug plate 36, the two door panels 32 are locked together, thereby preventing accidents such as the door panels 32 rotating and opening during the process of the cleaning cylinder 3 rotating to clean the mahjong.

[0046] A storage box 4 is slidably mounted on the casing 1. The bottom of the storage box 4 is provided with a base plate 42 with a notch 421. The collection basket 43 is placed on the base plate 42. The notch 421 is provided so that hot air can be better delivered to the mahjong tiles in the collection basket 43.

[0047] The chassis 1 is provided with a sliding plate 14, and the storage box 4 is provided with a sliding strip 41 that is slidably disposed on the sliding plate 14. The storage box 4 slides back and forth along the length direction of the sliding plate 14. The storage box 4 is provided with a rear cover plate 13 that abuts against the rear side of the chassis 1. When the rear cover plate 13 abuts against the rear side of the chassis 1, the collection basket 43 is located directly below the cleaning cylinder 3.

[0048] The collection basket 43 is provided with handles 434 on both sides. After cleaning, simply slide the storage box 4 outwards and use the handles 434 on both sides of the collection basket 43 to lift the collection basket 434 out of the cleaning equipment.

[0049] Furthermore, the front side of the collection basket 43 is rotatably connected to a rotating plate 432 and a plug-in seat 431 located below the rotating plate 432. The collection basket 43 is provided with a rotating sleeve 435 that is rotatably connected to the rotating plate 432. The rotating plate 432 is rotated to be installed on the collection basket 43 through the rotating sleeve 435. The rotating plate 432 is slidably provided with a plug rod 433 that can be inserted and fixed in the plug-in seat 431. When the plug rod 433 is inserted into the plug-in seat 431, the collection basket 43 can normally collect and store mahjong tiles.

[0050] The insertion rod 433 is connected to a handle 4331. When it is necessary to remove the mahjong tiles, the insertion rod 433 can be pulled upward by the handle 4331 to disengage the insertion rod 433 from the insertion seat 431. Then, by rotating the rotating plate 432, the front of the collection basket 43 can be rotated open, so that the mahjong tiles can be poured out more conveniently for subsequent use. This avoids the need to manually remove the mahjong tiles one by one, thereby improving the overall cleaning efficiency and effectively preventing secondary contamination of the mahjong tiles caused by manual picking up, ensuring the hygienic and clean effect of mahjong tile cleaning.

[0051] Furthermore, by rotating the rotating plate 432, the mahjong tiles can be tilted and removed as a whole, which effectively avoids the tedious process of picking up the mahjong tiles one by one, greatly improving the efficiency of tile retrieval, and reducing operation time and potential secondary pollution.

[0052] This embodiment also discloses a cleaning process for a mahjong cleaning machine.

[0053] a. Move to the mahjong table with the cleaning function, and unfold the two sections of the feeding plate and the folding plate to make it able to touch the mahjong table and push the mahjong into the cleaning tube;

[0054] b. Pour the atomized cleaning agent into the cleaning cylinder to ensure that the cleaning agent comes into full contact with the mahjong tiles;

[0055] c. Drive the two door panels to rotate relative to each other to close the feed inlet of the cleaning cylinder, and then drive the cleaning cylinder to rotate and cooperate with the brush inside to clean the mahjong tiles.

[0056] d. Rotate the cleaning cylinder to face the inlet toward the collection basket and open the door to send the cleaned mahjong tiles into the collection basket;

[0057] e. Sterilize and dry the mahjong tiles inside the machine using ultraviolet lamps;

[0058] f. The mahjong set is lifted out as a whole by collecting the basket, and the set is then tilted out by rotating the rotating plate.
