Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mahjong machine technology, specifically to an integrated tile deck module and a mahjong machine. Background Technology
[0002] Chinese utility model patent CN219462478U discloses a card-stacking mechanism and a mahjong machine. This mahjong machine is a rollercoaster-style machine that uses a card-pushing mechanism to load cards. This utility model aims to optimize and improve upon the aforementioned mahjong machine, addressing the following shortcomings:
[0003] (1) As mentioned above in the prior art Figure 1-3 As shown, the tile racks 11 used to store mahjong tiles after shuffling are independent, separate structures. The four sets of tile racks 11 are installed in the four directions of the mahjong machine, and the tile-pulling mechanism corresponding to each set of tile racks is installed on its respective tile rack. This separate structure of the tile racks results in cumbersome assembly, a large number of parts, higher costs and failure rates, and inconvenient maintenance and disassembly.
[0004] (2) The existing layout of the mahjong deck makes the deck too close to the edge of the mahjong machine. The tile-lifting plate that connects to the deck is also too close to the edge, resulting in the mahjong tile stacks on the table being closer to the edge. This is not comfortable for users, who need to push the tile stacks towards the center, resulting in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, such as the cumbersome assembly, large number of parts, high cost and failure rate, and inconvenient maintenance and disassembly caused by the split-type tile racks; and to solve the technical defect that the existing tile rack layout makes the tile racks too close to the edge of the mahjong machine.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an integral card slot module, comprising an annular base, wherein an installation cavity is provided at the center of the base, and four arc-shaped card storage slots are provided on the base, wherein the card inlet and outlet of the card storage slots extend into the installation cavity of the annular base, and the ends of adjacent card storage slots are arranged side by side in the radial direction to form an overlapping area C, and the card inlet and outlet of the card storage slots are located inside the overlapping area C.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the substrate has a transverse centerline A and a longitudinal centerline B, and any of the overlapping regions C is traversed by either the transverse centerline A or the longitudinal centerline B.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, any of the card storage slots extends through the area between adjacent transverse center lines A and longitudinal center lines B, and the first and last ends of the card storage slots cross the transverse center line A and the longitudinal center line B, respectively.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the substrate is integrally injection molded.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the substrate is formed by at least two substrate units, with adjacent substrate units fixedly connected.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a path groove penetrating the groove wall is provided in the storage groove along the extension direction of the storage groove.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the path groove is disposed at the bottom of the card storage groove.
[0013] This utility model also discloses a mahjong machine, which includes at least the aforementioned integrated tile path module and a square base. The integrated tile path module is installed on the square base, and the square base has a horizontal center line A and a vertical center line B. The horizontal center line A and the vertical center line B of the integrated tile path module coincide with the horizontal center line A and the vertical center line B of the square base.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the integrated card deck and mahjong machine of this embodiment have the following advantages:
[0015] (1) The integrated tile row module is installed as a whole in the mahjong machine. Compared with the existing technology where 4 sets of tile rows are installed in the four directions of the mahjong machine, the number of parts is less and the assembly is simpler. Correspondingly, the cost and failure rate are reduced. In addition, the integrated tile row module is more convenient to disassemble and assemble during maintenance.
[0016] (2) Since the inlet and outlet of the card storage slot is located inside the overlapping area C, and any overlapping area C is traversed by the transverse centerline A or the longitudinal centerline B, the inlet and outlet of the card storage slot is closer to the center of the mahjong machine. The upper end of the card-lifting plate connects to the inlet and outlet, allowing the card-lifting plate to also be positioned closer to the center of the mahjong machine. Correspondingly, the stack of mahjong tiles raised to the tabletop is closer to the center, and the distance between the stack and the edge of the mahjong machine is greater. For the user, this greater distance results in better comfort and a better experience. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element 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.
[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, an integral connection, or a detachable connection; they can refer to the internal connection of two components; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0025] The first embodiment of this example features an integrated card path module 10, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the device includes an annular base 1, which is integrally injection molded. The base 1 has a central mounting cavity 5, and four arc-shaped card storage slots 2 are provided on the base 1. The card inlet / outlet 3 of the card storage slots 2 extends into the mounting cavity 5 of the annular base 1.
[0026] In this embodiment, a path groove 4 penetrating the groove wall is provided in the card storage slot 2 along the extension direction of the slot, for cooperating with the card pulling mechanism to drive the mahjong tiles in the card storage slot 2 to be raised. Preferably, in this embodiment, the path groove 4 is located at the bottom of the card storage slot 2. It should be noted that the card pulling mechanism is the same as that in the prior art CN219462478U and is not an innovation of this application, so it will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0027] In this embodiment, the substrate 1 has a transverse centerline A and a longitudinal centerline B. It should be noted that, as... Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the mahjong machine is square in shape and has a square base 20. The square base 20 has a horizontal center line A and a vertical center line B. In this embodiment of the mahjong machine, when the integrated tile path module 10 is installed as a whole on the square base 20, the horizontal center line A and the vertical center line B of the base 1 coincide with the horizontal center line A and the vertical center line B of the square base 20.
[0028] In this embodiment, the integrated tile path module 10 is installed as a whole in the mahjong machine. Compared with the existing structure in which four sets of tile paths are installed in the four directions of the mahjong machine, there are fewer parts and the assembly is simpler. Correspondingly, the cost and failure rate are reduced. Furthermore, the integrated tile path module 10 is easier to disassemble and assemble during maintenance.
[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, adjacent card storage slots 2 are arranged side-by-side radially to form an overlapping area C, and the card inlet / outlet of each card storage slot is located inside the overlapping area C. A special feature of this embodiment is that any overlapping area C is traversed by either a transverse centerline A or a longitudinal centerline B. Correspondingly, in this embodiment, any card storage slot 2 penetrates the area between adjacent transverse centerlines A and longitudinal centerlines B, and the beginning and end of the card storage slot 2 cross the transverse centerline A and longitudinal centerline B, respectively.
[0030] In existing technologies, the overlapping area of adjacent card storage slots is typically located between adjacent horizontal center lines A and vertical center lines B. However, in this embodiment, since the card inlet / outlet 3 of the card storage slot 2 is located inside the overlapping area C, and any overlapping area C is traversed by either horizontal center line A or vertical center line B, the card inlet / outlet 3 of the card storage slot 2 is closer to the center of the mahjong machine. Furthermore, the upper end of the card lifting plate connects to the card inlet / outlet 3, allowing the card lifting plate to also be positioned closer to the center of the mahjong machine. Thus, compared to existing technologies, the mahjong tile stack raised to the mahjong machine tabletop is closer to the center, and the distance between the mahjong tile stack and the edge of the mahjong machine is larger. For the user, this larger distance results in better comfort and a better user experience.
[0031] The second implementation of the integrated card path module in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 3As shown, the substrate 1 is formed by four substrate units 11, and adjacent substrate units 11 are fixedly connected. It should be noted that, for production needs, the substrate 1 can be formed by two or more substrate units. Since adjacent substrate units 11 are fixedly connected, it is still installed as an integral tile module in the mahjong machine. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fixing method between adjacent substrate units 11 is not limited; any existing fixing connection method can be used, including but not limited to adhesive bonding, snap-fitting, welding, etc.
[0032] In summary, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
