Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a tile-raising device for a mahjong machine. Background Technology
[0002] An automatic mahjong machine is an entertainment device that can automatically shuffle and arrange the tiles. It is widely used in family gatherings and various card and board game rooms. It greatly simplifies the tedious preparations before playing mahjong, making the game experience more convenient and comfortable.
[0003] Most mahjong machines have a tile-lifting device, which includes a tile-lifting plate. One end of the plate is hinged to the tile-lifting frame, and the plate is used to transfer the tiles from the pulling device to the table. The tile-lifting plate has notches for the tile pushers to pass through, improving the quality and efficiency of tile lifting. However, when the plate rotates and rises to meet the table, these notches can actually create a risk of tiles falling or tipping over, affecting tile transport, aesthetics, and the player's experience.
[0004] Existing mahjong machines use a baffle to cooperate with the notch. After the tile-lifting plate is flush with the tabletop, the baffle blocks the notch, making the tabletop a flat, unnotch-free surface. However, the baffle flipping method in existing mahjong machines requires a drive device. While the drive device flips the tile-lifting plate, it also drives the baffle to rotate, making its structure relatively complex. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tile-lifting device for a mahjong machine to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background section.
[0006] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of this utility model is as follows: It includes a tile-lifting plate, one end of which is hinged to a tile-lifting machine frame. The tile-lifting plate has a first state where it receives tile-pushing blocks pushing mahjong tiles in a tile-pushing track when tilted, and a second state where its upper surface is flush with the tabletop when horizontal. The other end of the tile-lifting plate has a notch for the tile-pushing blocks to pass through. The other end of the tile-lifting plate also has a baffle and a reset device, with the baffle cooperating with the notch. During the process of the tile-lifting plate flipping from the first state to the second state, the baffle is blocked and flipped by the tile-pushing blocks, allowing the tile-pushing blocks to pass through the notch. The reset device drives the baffle to reset.
[0007] Furthermore, the baffle and reset device are located below the lifting plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the baffle is hinged to the lifting plate via a rotating shaft.
[0009] Furthermore, the reset device includes a torsion spring, one end of which is connected to the lifting plate, and the other end is connected to a rotating shaft or a baffle.
[0010] Furthermore, the axis of the rotating shaft is parallel to the length direction of the lifting plate.
[0011] Furthermore, an abutment is provided at the lower edge of the notch, and when the baffle is flush with the lifting plate, the abutment covers the top of the baffle.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: (1) The other end of the lifting plate of this utility model is provided with a notch for the pusher block to pass through, which ensures that the pusher block can smoothly push the mahjong tiles onto the lifting plate. The notch is automatically closed after the pusher block is completed by the baffle and the reset device, which prevents the mahjong tiles from falling or overturning in the later stage of the lifting plate. When the pusher block passes through the notch, the baffle flips, and the drive device is no longer needed to drive the baffle to flip, which simplifies the structure and reduces the production cost.
[0013] (2) The axis of the rotating shaft of this utility model is parallel to the length direction of the lifting plate, making full use of the space below the end of the lifting plate, and the structure is reasonable.
[0014] (3) The present invention has an abutment part below the notch to prevent the baffle from overturning and exceeding the plane of the lifting plate. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Example 1, see Figure 1-4This embodiment of a mahjong machine's tile-lifting device includes a tile-lifting plate 1. One end of the tile-lifting plate 1 is hinged to the tile-lifting machine frame. The tile-lifting plate 1 has a first state in which it receives mahjong tiles pushed by tile-pushing blocks 2 in the tile-pushing track when tilted, and a second state in which its upper surface is flush with the tabletop when horizontal. The other end of the tile-lifting plate 1 is provided with a notch 1-1 for the tile-pushing blocks 2 to pass through. The other end of the tile-lifting plate 1 is also provided with a baffle 3 and a reset device. The baffle 3 cooperates with the notch 1-1. During the process of the tile-lifting plate 1 flipping from the first state to the second state, the baffle 3 is blocked by the tile-pushing blocks 2 and flipped, so that the tile-pushing blocks 2 can pass smoothly through the notch 1-1. The reset device drives the baffle 3 to reset.
[0027] The baffle 3 and the reset device are positioned below the tile-lifting plate 1. This placement not only avoids interference with the mahjong tile transport path but also effectively utilizes the space beneath the tile-lifting plate 1, resulting in a more compact overall structure and facilitating miniaturization of the equipment. Furthermore, it protects the baffle 3 and the reset device from external impacts or wear, improving the device's durability and lifespan.
[0028] In this embodiment, the baffle 3 is hinged to the lifting plate 1 via the rotating shaft 4.
[0029] The reset device includes a torsion spring. One end of the torsion spring is connected to the lifting plate 1, and the other end is connected to the rotating shaft 4 or the baffle 3. The reset force provided by the torsion spring resets the flipped baffle 3.
[0030] The axis of the rotating shaft 4 is parallel to the length direction of the lifting plate 1, making full use of the space below the end of the lifting plate 1, resulting in a reasonable structural layout.
[0031] A contact part 1-2 is provided on the lower edge of the notch 1-1. When the baffle 3 is flush with the lifting plate 1, the contact part 1-2 covers the baffle 3 to prevent the baffle 3 from overturning beyond the plane of the lifting plate 1, making the surface of the lifting plate 1 flatter and more aesthetically pleasing.
[0032] The working method of this embodiment is as follows: when the tile-raising plate 1 has finished receiving the mahjong tiles, when the tile is raised, that is, when it flips from the first state to the second state, the tile-pushing block 2 passes through the gap 1-1, and at the same time pushes the baffle 3 to flip. After the tile-pushing block 2 passes through the gap 1-1, the torsion spring drives the baffle 3 to reset and block the gap 1-1.
[0033] The other end of the lifting plate 1 of this utility model is provided with a notch 1-1 for the pusher block 2 to pass through, which ensures that the pusher block 2 can smoothly push the mahjong tiles onto the lifting plate 1. Through the design of the baffle 3 and the reset device, the notch 1-1 is automatically closed after the tiles are pushed, preventing the mahjong tiles from falling or overturning in the later stage of the lifting process. When the pusher block 2 passes through the notch 1-1, the baffle 3 is pushed and flipped, eliminating the need for a drive device to drive the baffle 3 to flip, simplifying the structure and reducing production costs.
[0034] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
