Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mahjong machine technology, specifically to a tile-raising layout structure and a mahjong machine. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese utility model patent with announcement number CN221846023U discloses a card-pulling mechanism and a mahjong machine. The mahjong machine is a roller coaster-style mahjong machine that uses a card-pulling mechanism to play cards.

[0003] In the aforementioned mahjong machine, the tile holder is located at the tile outlet of the tile conveying mechanism, adjacent to the tile inlet / outlet of the tile path. One end of the tile lifting plate is hinged to the mahjong machine tabletop. During shuffling, the tile conveying mechanism transports the mahjong tiles to the tile holder, and the pushing drive device drives the tile pushing plate to push the mahjong tiles on the tile holder into the tile path. During tile lifting, the free end of the tile lifting plate descends to be flush with the tile inlet / outlet of the tile path, covering the tile holder. At this time, the tile pulling mechanism transports all the mahjong tiles from the tile path onto the tile lifting plate.

[0004] The drawback of the aforementioned mahjong machine is that after the free end of the lifting plate descends, it directly connects with the inlet and outlet of the tile path. The pull head needs to move to the free end of the lifting plate to transport all the mahjong tiles onto it. This layout requires consideration of the angle between the lifting plate and the tile path to ensure smooth tile transport. Typically, the lifting plate is positioned closer to the edge of the machine for a smoother connection. However, the closer the lifting plate is to the edge, the closer the stack of tiles on the table is to the edge, resulting in poor user comfort. Users need to push the stack towards the center, leading to a less enjoyable experience. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the technical defect in the prior art where the free end of the tile-lifting plate directly connects with the tile entry and exit point of the tile channel after it descends, resulting in the tile-lifting plate being arranged close to the edge of the mahjong machine.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: a card-raising layout structure, comprising at least:

[0007] A card conveying mechanism, wherein the card conveying mechanism is provided with a card outlet;

[0008] A card storage slot, wherein the card storage slot is provided with a card inlet and outlet;

[0009] A card stacking mechanism, comprising a card holder and a card pusher, wherein the card holder is adjacent to the card outlet of the card conveying mechanism and the card inlet / outlet of the card storage trough, respectively;

[0010] A tile-lifting plate, one end of which is hinged to the tabletop of the mahjong machine;

[0011] After the free end of the card-lifting plate descends, a card-passing connection area is provided between the free end of the card-lifting plate and the card-inlet / outlet of the card storage slot. The card-passing connection area includes at least the area where the card-bearing seat is located.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the card-pushing mechanism includes a card-pushing plate, a card-pushing linkage, and a card-pushing drive mechanism. The bottom of the card-pushing linkage is provided with a reset elastic element, and the upper surface of the card-pushing linkage is a card-passing surface that can accommodate mahjong tiles.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, after the free end of the card-lifting plate descends, the free end of the card-lifting plate connects with the side of the card-receiving seat away from the card-storage slot.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, a first receiving area is provided between the card holder and the card inlet / outlet of the card storage slot to accommodate the card pusher plate. After the free end of the card lifting plate descends, the card pusher linkage is driven to descend, and the card pusher plate enters the first receiving area. The card pusher linkage covers the card holder, and the card-passing surface of the card pusher linkage is connected to the card inlet / outlet of the card storage slot. The free end of the card lifting plate is connected to the card-passing surface of the card pusher linkage.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, a second receiving area for accommodating a pusher plate is provided on the side of the card holder away from the card storage slot. After the free end of the lifting plate descends, the pusher connecting rod is driven to descend, and the pusher plate enters the first receiving area. The card-passing surface of the pusher connecting rod is connected to the side of the card holder away from the card storage slot, and the free end of the lifting plate is connected to the card-passing surface of the pusher connecting rod.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the pusher link is provided with a recessed step to accommodate the end of the lifting plate.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the device further includes a card-pulling head located within the card storage slot. The card-pulling head comprises at least two card-pulling units connected end-to-end, with adjacent card-pulling units being rotatably connected. When the card-pulling head is located at its extreme position within the card storage slot near the card inlet / outlet opening, the card-pulling head covers the card-passing connection area.

[0018] This embodiment also discloses a mahjong machine, which includes at least four sets of the aforementioned tile-raising layout structure.

[0019] In this embodiment of the tile-lifting layout structure and mahjong machine, by setting a tile-passing connection area, the included angle between the tile storage slot and the tile-lifting plate can be set to be smaller, meaning the tile-lifting plate can be positioned closer to the center of the mahjong machine. With this layout, the stack of mahjong tiles raised to the mahjong table is closer to the center of the machine, and the distance between it and the edge of the table is larger. For the user, the larger distance between the stack of mahjong tiles and the edge of the mahjong machine results in better comfort and a better user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0032] Example 1

[0033] This embodiment of a mahjong machine includes a tile-raising layout structure as follows: Figures 1-2 As shown, the system includes a card conveying mechanism 10, a card storage slot 20, a card stacking mechanism, and a card lifting plate 50, one end of which is hinged to the mahjong machine tabletop. The card conveying mechanism 10 is provided with a card dispensing port 11. It should be noted that the card conveying mechanism 10 can utilize existing technology and is not an innovation of this application; its specific structure will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0034] In this embodiment, the card stacking mechanism includes a card holder 30 and a card pushing mechanism 40. The card holder 30 is adjacent to the card outlet 11 of the card conveying mechanism 10 and the card inlet / outlet of the card storage slot 20, respectively. Figure 5 As shown, the card pushing mechanism 40 includes a card pushing plate 41, a card pushing linkage 44, and a card pushing drive mechanism (not shown in the figure), such as... Figure 4 As shown, a reset elastic element 45 is provided at the bottom of the card-pushing linkage. It should be noted that the card-stacking mechanism also adopts existing technology, and its specific structure and functional principle will not be elaborated in this embodiment.

[0035] As a special feature of this embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, after the free end of the card-lifting plate 50 descends, a card-passing connection area A is provided between the free end of the card-lifting plate 50 and the card-in / out port of the card storage slot 20.

[0036] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the side of the card holder 30 away from the card storage slot 20 is provided with a second receiving area to accommodate the card pusher plate 41. After the free end of the card lifting plate 50 descends, it drives the card pusher linkage 44 to descend, and the card pusher plate 41 enters the first receiving area. The upper surface of the card pusher linkage 44 is a card-passing surface 42 that can accommodate the passage of mahjong tiles 70. This card-passing surface 42 connects to the side of the card holder 30 away from the card storage slot 20, and the free end of the card lifting plate 50 connects to the card-passing surface 42 of the card pusher linkage. Thus, in this embodiment, the card-passing connection area A includes the upper surface of the card holder 30 and the card-passing surface 42 of the card pusher linkage.

[0037] As an equivalent implementation of this embodiment, the position of the card-lifting plate 50 can also be configured such that, after its free end descends, the free end of the card-lifting plate directly connects to the side of the card-receiving seat 30 away from the card storage slot 20. With this configuration, the card-passing connection area A only includes the upper surface of the card-receiving seat 30.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment, in this case, Figure 5 As shown, the pusher rod 44 is provided with a recessed step 43 to accommodate the end of the lifting plate. With this configuration, the upper surface of the lifting plate 50 can connect more smoothly with the passing surface 42, reducing the resistance of the mahjong tiles passing through.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, after shuffling, all 70 mahjong tiles are located in the storage slot 20. When playing tiles, as... Figure 7 As shown, the free end of the lifting plate 50 descends, and the pulling mechanism drives the pulling head 60 to push the mahjong tiles onto the lifting plate via the passing area A. When the pulling head 60 is located at its extreme position near the inlet / outlet of the storage slot 20, it covers the passing area A. It should be noted that the pulling mechanism can utilize existing technology, and its specific structure will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0040] In this embodiment, by setting the card-passing connection area A, the included angle between the card storage slot and the card-lifting plate can be set smaller, meaning the card-lifting plate can be positioned closer to the center of the mahjong machine. With this arrangement, the stack of mahjong tiles raised to the mahjong table is closer to the center of the machine, and the distance between it and the edge of the table is greater. For the user, the larger distance between the stack of mahjong tiles and the edge of the mahjong machine results in better comfort and a better user experience.

[0041] In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the pull-tile head 60 can cover the tile-passing connection area A and ensure that the mahjong tiles are pushed into place, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the card-pulling head in this embodiment includes two card-pulling units connected end to end, namely card-pulling unit 61 and card-pulling unit 62, which are rotatably connected to each other. With this configuration, the card-pulling head can adapt to changes in the large angle of the card-passing connection area A, thereby ensuring that the mahjong tiles are pushed into place.

[0042] In this embodiment, the front of the card-pulling unit 61 is provided with a card-pushing part 611, and the rear is provided with a connecting rod 612 for connecting with the card-pulling unit 62. The connecting rod 612 has a first hinge hole 613 near its end. Correspondingly, the card-pulling unit 62 has a connecting rod groove 623 for accommodating the connecting rod 612 and a second hinge hole 622 corresponding to the first hinge hole 613. A pin can be inserted into the first hinge hole 613 and the second hinge hole 622 to achieve a rotatable connection between them. The rear of the card-pulling unit 62 is provided with a connecting part 621 for connecting with the card-pulling mechanism.

[0043] It should be noted that the number of card-pulling units can also exceed two, thus adapting to card-passing connection areas A with different lengths and angles.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] like Figure 9 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that a first receiving area for accommodating the pusher plate 41 is provided between the card holder 30 and the card inlet / outlet of the card storage slot 20. After the free end of the lifting plate 50 descends, it drives the pusher linkage to descend, and the pusher plate 41 enters the first receiving area. The pusher linkage 44 covers the card holder 30, and the card-passing surface 42 of the pusher linkage connects with the card inlet / outlet of the card storage slot 20. The free end of the lifting plate 50 connects with the card-passing surface 42 of the pusher linkage. In this embodiment, the card-passing connection area A is the card-passing surface 42 covering the card holder 30.

[0046] 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.
