Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of card sorting machine manufacturing technology, and in particular relates to a pull-type anti-drop card sorting machine card storage slot and card sorting machine. Background Technology

[0002] A machine that arranges square tiles for entertainment is called a tile arranging machine, and there are various types of tile arranging machines, such as mahjong machines and dominoes machines. Taking mahjong machines as an example, they are further divided into rotary mahjong machines and roller coaster mahjong machines.

[0003] In rotary mahjong machines and roller coaster mahjong machines, the tile-lifting plate's inlet end descends and aligns with the tile-dispensing end of the storage slot. The mahjong tiles in the storage slot are pushed onto the tile-lifting plate by the pusher head. Then, by raising the inlet end of the tile-lifting plate, the mahjong tiles are transported to the table. At this point, the tile-lifting plate is flush with the table of the mahjong machine, and a gap is formed between the inlet end of the tile-lifting plate and the tile-dispensing end of the storage slot. At this time, the storage slot is about to store the next set of mahjong tiles.

[0004] Therefore, the mahjong tiles stored in the storage slot can easily fall through this gap into the lower plate without resistance, resulting in insufficient tiles for the next round, or tiles getting stuck in the gap, thus affecting the descent of the lower plate and ultimately leading to low shuffling efficiency of the mahjong machine. Therefore, it is necessary to improve this system. Utility Model Content

[0029] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model.

[0030] like Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of a card organizer 10, such as a mahjong machine, which includes a card storage slot 11 with a square entertainment card anti-dropping structure 20. The square entertainment cards 30 can be, for example, mahjong tiles or dominoes tiles, preferably mahjong tiles. The card organizer 10 is a mahjong machine or a dominoes machine, preferably a mahjong machine.

[0031] The card sorting machine 10, such as a mahjong machine, has a card storage slot 11 located upstream of the card dispensing area and a card lifting plate 12 located downstream of the card dispensing area. The card lifting plate 12 has a card receiving end 121, which can be raised and lowered. The card storage slot 11 has a card dispensing end 111 that can connect with the card receiving end 121 of the card lifting plate 12. When the card lifting plate 12 is lowered, the card receiving end 121 and the card dispensing end 111 of the card storage slot 11 are aligned, and the entertainment cards 30 are pushed onto the card lifting plate 12 by the pusher head. When the card receiving end 121 is raised, the card lifting plate 22 will be flush with the table of the mahjong machine. At this time, there is a gap between the card receiving end 121 and the card dispensing end 111 of the card storage slot 11, so the entertainment cards 30, such as mahjong cards, stored in the card storage slot 11 are likely to fall through the gap to the bottom of the card lifting plate 12. At this time, a square entertainment card anti-drop structure 20 is provided at the card dispensing end 111 of the card storage slot 11 to prevent the next set of entertainment cards 30, such as mahjong cards, from falling from the gap to the bottom of the card raising plate 12.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the anti-dropping structure 20 for diamond game cards includes an upper blocking rod 21 and a lower blocking rod 22. The shapes of the upper blocking rod 21 and the lower blocking rod 22 are not specifically limited, as long as they can be stacked and hidden below the card-inlet end of the card-lifting plate 12, and can cover the diamond game cards when opened. In one example, they are long rods. The total lengths of the upper blocking rod 21 and the lower blocking rod 22 are, for example, equal, but they can also be unequal; preferably, the total lengths of the upper blocking rod 21 and the lower blocking rod 22 are equal. The first end 211 of the upper blocking rod 21 is rotatably connected to the end face of the card-inlet end 121 of the card-lifting plate 12. The first end 221 of the lower blocking rod 22 is rotatably connected to the end face of the card-discharge end 111 of the card storage slot 11. The second end 211 of the upper blocking rod 21 and the second end 222 of the lower blocking rod 22 are rotatably connected. That is, during the rising and falling of the card-inlet end of the card-raising plate 12, both ends of the upper card-blocking rod 21 and the lower card-blocking rod 22 can rotate relative to each other, so that the upper card-blocking rod 21 and the lower card-blocking rod 22 can rotate and fold together to form a long strip, which is hidden between the card-inlet end 121 of the card-raising plate 12 and the card-dispensing end 111 of the card storage slot 11. The channel between the card storage slot 11 and the card-raising plate 12 is opened, so that the square entertainment cards 30 can pass through smoothly. Afterwards, the card-inlet end 121 of the card-raising plate 12 rises up, and the upper card-blocking rod 21 and the lower card-blocking rod 22 open up to each other and block the gap in front of the card-dispensing end 111 of the card storage slot 11, so that the next set of mahjong cards cannot fall from the gap in front of the card-dispensing end 111 of the card storage slot 11.

[0033] Continue as Figure 2As shown, the anti-dropping structure 20 for the square entertainment card also includes an upper rotating shaft 211a, a lower rotating shaft 221a, and a middle rotating shaft 212a. The first end 211 of the upper blocking rod 21 has a shaft hole, and the end face of the card-inlet end 121 of the lifting plate 12 also has a shaft hole. The two ends of the upper rotating shaft 211a are respectively inserted into the shaft holes of the first end 211 of the upper blocking rod 21 and the card-inlet end 121 of the lifting plate 12, thereby achieving relative rotation between them. It should be noted that the upper rotating shaft 211a is movably connected to at least one of the shaft holes of the end face of the card-inlet end 121 of the lifting plate 12 and the first end 211 of the upper blocking rod 21. Preferably, the upper rotating shaft 211a is movably connected to both the shaft hole of the end face of the card-inlet end 121 of the lifting plate 12 and the shaft hole of the first end 211 of the upper blocking rod 21.

[0034] Similarly, the first end 221 of the lower blocking rod 22 has a shaft hole, and the end face of the card dispensing end 111 of the card storage slot 11 also has a shaft hole. The two ends of the lower rotating shaft 221a are respectively inserted into the shaft hole of the first end 221 of the lower blocking rod 22 and the shaft hole of the card dispensing end 111 of the card storage slot 11, thereby realizing relative rotation between the two. In this embodiment, it should be noted that the lower rotating shaft 221a is movably connected to at least one of the shaft holes on the end face of the card dispensing end 111 of the card storage slot 11 and the shaft hole of the first end 221 of the lower blocking rod 22. Preferably, the lower rotating shaft 221a is movably connected to both the shaft hole on the end face of the card dispensing end 111 of the card storage slot 11 and the shaft hole of the first end 221 of the lower blocking rod 22.

[0035] Similarly, the second end of the upper stop lever 21 also has a shaft hole, and the second end 222 of the lower stop lever 22 also has a shaft hole. The two ends of the rotating shaft 212a are respectively inserted into the shaft holes of the second end of the upper stop lever 21 and the second end 222 of the lower stop lever 22, thereby realizing the relative rotation between the upper stop lever 21 and the lower stop lever 22. It should be noted that the rotating shaft 212a is movably connected to at least one of the shaft holes of the second end 212 of the upper stop lever 21 and the second end 222 of the lower stop lever 22. Preferably, the rotating shaft 212a is movably connected to both the shaft holes of the second end 212 of the upper stop lever 21 and the second end 222 of the lower stop lever 22.

[0036] In a further example, the upper rotating shaft 211a has the same shape as the shaft hole shape of the first end 211 of the upper barrier rod 21, for example, it is cylindrical. The lower rotating shaft 221a has the same shape as the shaft hole shape of the first end 221 of the lower barrier rod 22, for example, it is cylindrical. The middle rotating shaft 212a has the same shape as the shaft hole shape of the second end 212 of the upper barrier rod 21 and the shaft hole shape of the second end 222 of the lower barrier rod 22, for example, it is cylindrical.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the card-inlet end 121 of the card-lifting plate 12 descends, the distance between the end face of the card-inlet end 121 of the card-lifting plate 12 and the end face of the card-outlet end 111 of the card storage slot 11 is not less than the thickness of the upper card-blocking rod 21 and the lower card-blocking rod 22 when they overlap. Preferably, the distance between the end face of the card-inlet end 121 of the card-lifting plate 12 and the end face of the card-outlet end 111 of the card storage slot 11 is equal to the thickness of the upper card-blocking rod 21 and the lower card-blocking rod 22 when they overlap, to prevent the upper card-blocking rod 21 and the lower card-blocking rod 22 from getting stuck when they merge. When the upper blocking rod 21 and the lower blocking rod 22 overlap, their height is no higher than the height of the card dispensing end of the card storage slot 11 and the height of the card receiving end 121 of the lifting plate 12. More preferably, the height of the card receiving end 121 of the lifting plate 12, the height of the end face of the card dispensing end 111 of the card storage slot 11, and the height when the upper blocking rod 21 and the lower blocking rod 22 overlap are the same, which makes it easier to push the square entertainment card 30 onto the lifting plate 12.

[0038] In another embodiment, continue as follows Figure 1 As shown, the card-dispensing end 111 of the card storage slot 11 of the card sorting machine has a wedge-shaped card-lifting block 13, which has a bottom surface, an inclined card-lifting surface, and a straight end surface. The bottom surface is fixedly connected to or integrally formed with the bottom of the card-dispensing end 111 of the card storage slot 11 to prevent the wedge-shaped card-lifting block 13 from moving. The inclined card-lifting surface faces away from the card-inlet end 121 of the card-lifting plate 12, and the diamond entertainment cards 30 enter the card-lifting plate 12 through the inclined card-lifting surface. The straight end surface of the wedge-shaped card-lifting block 13 faces the card-inlet end 121 of the card-lifting plate 12. In this embodiment, the straight end face of the wedge-shaped lifting block 13 has a shaft hole, the shape of which is the same as that of the lower rotating shaft 221a. That is, one end of the lower rotating shaft 221a can be inserted into the shaft hole of the straight end face of the wedge-shaped lifting block 13 on the card dispensing end 111 of the card storage slot 11. Then, the two ends of the lower rotating shaft 221a are respectively inserted into the shaft hole of the first end 221 of the lower blocking rod 22 and the shaft hole of the straight end face of the wedge-shaped lifting block 13. The lower rotating shaft 221a enables the first end 221 of the lower blocking rod 22 to be rotatably connected to the straight end face of the wedge-shaped lifting block 13.

[0039] In the above embodiments, it should be noted that the lower rotating shaft 221a is movably connected to at least one of the shaft holes on the straight end face of the wedge-shaped lifting block 13 and the shaft hole at the first end 221 of the lower blocking rod 22. Preferably, the lower rotating shaft 221a is movably connected to both the shaft hole on the straight end face of the wedge-shaped lifting block 13 and the shaft hole at the first end 221 of the lower blocking rod 22.

[0040] In this embodiment, when the card-inlet end 121 of the card-lifting plate 12 descends onto the card-outlet end 111 of the card storage slot 11, the distance between the end face of the card-inlet end 121 of the card-lifting plate 12 and the straight end face of the wedge-shaped card-lifting block 13 is not less than the thickness of the upper blocking rod 21 and the lower blocking rod 22 when they overlap. Preferably, the distance between the end face of the card-inlet end 121 of the card-lifting plate 12 and the straight end face of the wedge-shaped card-lifting block 13 is equal to the thickness of the upper blocking rod 21 and the lower blocking rod 22 when they overlap, to prevent the upper blocking rod 21 and the lower blocking rod 22 from getting stuck when they merge. When the upper blocking rod 21 and the lower blocking rod 22 overlap, their height is no higher than the height of the wedge-shaped lifting block 13 at the card dispensing end of the card storage slot 11 and the height of the card receiving end 121 of the lifting plate 12. More preferably, the height of the card receiving end 121 of the lifting plate 12, the height of the straight end face of the wedge-shaped lifting block 13, and the height when the upper blocking rod 21 and the lower blocking rod 22 overlap are the same, which makes it easier to push the square entertainment card 30 onto the lifting plate 12.

[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the card storage slot 11 of the card sorting machine of this utility model is a card storage slot 11 equipped with a wedge-shaped card lifting block 13. When the diamond entertainment card 30 is stored in the card storage slot 11 of the card sorting machine, the card lifting plate 12 is flush with the table, and the upper card blocking rod 21 and the lower card blocking rod 22 will unfold to block the diamond entertainment card 30 and prevent the diamond entertainment card 30 from falling below the card lifting plate 12. Only when the card inlet end 121 of the card lifting plate 12 descends, the first end 211 of the upper card blocking rod 21 rotates around the end face of the card inlet end 121 of the card lifting plate 12 by the upper rotating shaft 211a, the second end 212 of the upper card blocking rod 21 rotates around the second end 22 of the lower card blocking rod 22 by the middle rotating shaft 212a, and the first end 221 of the lower card blocking rod 22 rotates around the straight end face of the wedge-shaped card lifting block 13 by the lower rotating shaft 221a, until they merge into the wedge-shaped card lifting block 13. Between the card-inlet end 121 of the card-lifting plate 12 and the straight end face of the wedge-shaped card-lifting block 13, at this time, the card-inlet end 121 of the card-lifting plate 12, the combined upper card-blocking rod 21 and lower card-blocking rod 22 are flush with the straight end face of the wedge-shaped card-lifting block 13 in the card-discharge end 111 of the card storage slot 11. Under the action of the card-pushing head, the square entertainment card 30 is sent to the card-lifting plate 12 from above the upper card-blocking rod 21 and lower card-blocking rod 22 through the card-lifting surface of the wedge-shaped card-lifting block 13. When a set of diamond entertainment cards 30 is delivered to the card-raising plate 12, the card-inlet end 121 of the card-raising plate 12 rises and delivers the diamond entertainment cards 30 to the table level. At this time, the card-raising plate drives the upper card-blocking rod 21 to rise, and the upper card-blocking rod 21 drives the lower card-blocking rod 22 to rise. When the card-raising plate 12 is level with the table, the upper card-blocking rod 21 and the lower card-blocking rod 22 unfold and block the gap between the card-raising plate 12 and the card storage slot 11, blocking the next set of diamond entertainment cards 30 and preventing it from falling below the card-raising plate 12.
