[0017] The following clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, and do not represent all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without any creative effort are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] Example 1: As shown in FIGS. 1 to 9, the mahjong drive device mainly includes a transport passage, a tile storage passage 1, and a tile sending passage 2.

[0019] For the sake of structural convenience, a motor 3 with a controller is installed within the area of ​​the tile storage passage 1, and the motor 3 is connected to the tile push rod 4 via a transmission mechanism. The structure of the tile push rod 4 shown in the figure is designed to take into consideration the overall structural strength and operational stability; it is circular and protrudes to one side, and can be driven by the motor 3 to send a circular motion. Of course, the structure of the tile push rod 4 is not limited to this and can be driven by the motor 3 or in other ways, and its specific structure can be designed as desired, as long as it can achieve the function of this invention.

[0020] However, the transport passage is not shown in the attached drawings, and the transport passage is a common structure of automatic mahjong tables in the prior art, but in mahjong machines, the shuffling mechanism transports the tiles to the transport passage after shuffling, and the transport passage may usually be provided in a device that is transported by a belt, and the mahjongs enter the transport passage after being lined up, and are transported from the transport passage to the tile storage passage 1, but of course other methods are also possible, and this time there is no limitation. For ease of understanding, the direction of the arrow in attached drawing 1 indicates the position of the transport passage.

[0021] However, a connecting device 5 must be installed between the transport passage and the tile storage passage 1. One of the purposes of the connecting device 5 is to smoothly transfer the mahjongs from the transport passage to the tile storage passage 1, and the other is to stack the mahjongs in pairs and arrange them in pairs.

[0022] However, the structural focus of the connecting device 5 of the present invention is the rotatably installed rotating tile stacking base 51, as shown in Figures 1, 2, 4 and 5, and the rotating tile stacking base 51 may be installed in the main body structure of the mahjong machine. In order to facilitate the presentation of the central structure, this invention does not show the main body structure of the mahjong table. The rotating tile stacking base 51 is usually set in an L-shaped structure, and the L-shaped structure here is not limited to 90°, but may be greater than 90° or less than 90°. Thus, both sides of the rotating tile stacking base 51 are respectively a support plate 511 and a stopper plate 512. In a natural state, the support plate 511 naturally hangs down due to the action of its own weight. In order to limit the width of the support plate 511 rotating under its own weight, a raised structure is provided on the rotating structure, so that the rotation width of the rotating tile stacking base 51 can be limited. When the tile push rod 4 rotates, the support plate 511 is raised at an angle of about 45° relative to the tile storage passage 1 after being rotated. It is sufficient if the support plate 511 can rotate to a position lower than the tile storage passage 1 or can maintain the same horizontal plane as the tile storage passage 1, and of course, when the tile push rod 4 separates from the rotary tile stacking base 51, the support plate 511 will rotate under its own weight to a position lower than the tile storage passage 1, and in this way, when the tile push rod 4 passes through the rotary tile stacking base 51, it will press against the stopper plate 512 and then be able to pass through smoothly. However, after passing through smoothly, the rotary tile stacking base 51 may return under its own weight, and in this case, the return occurs because the tile push rod 4 continues to smoothly abut against the stopper plate 512 when moving in the opposite direction, allowing the support plate 511 to reach a state where it is raised or leveled.

[0023] A sensing device 7 is further provided on the side wall of the tile storage passage 1, which may be infrared sensing or optically controlled sensing, as long as it can send a signal to the controller after detecting that mahjong has been played.

[0024] However, after receiving the signal, the controller drives the motor 3 to rotate the tile push rod 4, and before the first mahjong is transported, the tile push rod 4 rotates clockwise to raise the support plate 511, which is the first state, waiting for the mahjong to be received. When the first mahjong falls, the sensor 7 detects it and sends a signal to the controller, which causes the motor 3 to rotate the tile push rod 4 counterclockwise by a certain amount, and the tile push rod 4 rotates the stopper plate 512, so that the support plate 511 and the tile storage passage 1 are on the same plane, which is the second state, and the transport passage transports the second mahjong above the first mahjong and stacks them together to form a vertically arranged mahjong set. At this time, the sensor 7 sends a signal to the controller, which then drives the motor 3 to rotate the tile push rod 4. As the tile push rod 4 rotates counterclockwise, it pushes the first stack of mahjong pieces into the tile storage passage 1. The tile push rod 4 then rotates clockwise by the motor 3, remaining in contact with the stopper plate 512, causing the entire rotating tile stacking base 51 to return to the first state and wait for the mahjong pieces to be picked up. This process is repeated until a certain number of mahjong pieces are stocked in the tile storage passage 1, reaching the set value.

[0025] However, the tile storage passage 1 not only has the role of stocking a fixed number of mahjong pieces, but also needs to transport the fixed number of mahjong pieces from the tile storage passage 1 to the tile sending passage 2 by the tile push rod 4.

[0026] Referring primarily to Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 9, the structure of the tile transport passage 2 is as follows: First, the function of the tile transport passage 2 is to smoothly transfer the mahjong pieces in the tile storage passage 1 into the tile transport passage 2, and the tile transport passage 2 must smoothly lift these mahjong pieces onto the table of the mahjong table.

[0027] Therefore, in this invention, the tile feed passage 2 has a structure in which one side is raised and lowered and the other side is rotated. When it needs to dock with the tile storage passage 1 and receive the mahjong, the side approaching the tile storage passage 1 will incline and move downward until it docks with the tile storage passage 1, and when the tile push rod 4 rotates counterclockwise, it can push the mahjong along the tile storage passage 1 until all of them are handed over to the tile feed passage 2.

[0028] The tile feeding passage 2 mainly comprises a support plate 21 with one end pivotally connected, the other end of which docks with the tile storage passage 1, and the lifting and lowering of the support plate 21 must be controlled by a lifting drive device 6, which mainly comprises a rotatably mounted guide member 61, the side wall of which has a pusher 62 fixed to or integrally formed therewith, which is used to abut against the underside of the support plate 21. As the guide member 61 rotates, the pusher 62 moves in a circular motion, and as the pusher 62 moves in a circular motion, different abutment positions are created on the support plate 21. This is because one end of the support plate 21 is restricted in its rotation, while the other end can therefore move up and down. In this way, when the pusher 62 rotates counterclockwise, the movable end of the support plate 21 can descend until it docks with the tile storage passage 1, or when the pusher 62 rotates clockwise, the movable end of the support plate 21 can rise to the table of the mahjong table and remain horizontal.

[0029] Of course, in the accompanying drawings of the present invention, the pusher 62 is provided with a first pusher 621 and a second pusher 622, and a first guide portion 22 and a second guide portion 23 are provided below the support plate 21. As shown in Figure 9, the present invention is designed in this manner to limit the stroke. The installation of the guide member 61 limits the rotation angle within a relatively small range, that is, the rotation width of the pusher 62. Therefore, considering the engagement between the first pusher 621 and the first guide portion 22 and the engagement between the second pusher 622 and the second guide portion 23, when the first pusher 621 enters the first guide portion 22 and rotates, the second pusher 622 does not come into contact with the second guide portion 23 until just before the first pusher 621 and the first guide portion 22 separate. At this time, the pusher 622 continues to abut by just entering the second guide part 23, and by this mutual engagement, the support plate 21 smoothly completes its diagonally downward rotation or returns from the diagonally downward state to a horizontal state, thereby allowing the mahjong to be transported to the table. Of course, this structure is set as needed based on the size of the mahjong to be used and the size of the structure when actually designed.

[0030] However, the power source of the lifting drive device 6 is still realized by the tile push rod 4 pulled by the motor 3.

[0031] As shown in Figure 8, the guide member of the lifting drive device 6 is not only provided with a pusher 62, but also with a guide groove 63, which is positioned to engage with the tile push rod 4. In order to facilitate contact between the tile push rod 4 and the guide member 61 during movement, the present invention takes into consideration the need for the guide member 61 to rotate and also have a return function, so a herringbone-shaped guide groove 63 is designed. As shown in the attached Figure 7, a guide body 41 is designed on the upper end surface of the tile push rod 4. The guide body 41 is a protrusion, and when the tile push rod 4 stacks tiles, its rotation range is limited within a certain range and it does not come into contact with the guide member 61. However, once the stacking of mahjong tiles is complete and the set number has been reached, before the mahjong tiles in the tile storage passage 1 need to be pushed out into the lifting passage 2, the tile push rod 4 is controlled by the motor 3 to rotate clockwise by a relatively large amount until the guide body 41 on the tile push rod 4 enters the guide groove 63, and after entering the guide groove 63, it enters the herringbone-shaped head, and in this process the guide body 41 abuts against the side wall of the guide groove 63, causing the guide member 61 to rotate counterclockwise. As the guide member 61 rotates counterclockwise, the pusher 62 is in a state where it is detached from the support plate 21, and the support plate 21 rotates under the action of its own weight and docks with the tile storage passage 1.

[0032] At this time, the tile push rod 4 rotates counterclockwise by being driven by the motor 3, enters the other passage of the guide groove 63, and smoothly leaves the guide groove 63, pushing the aligned mahjong tiles from the storage passage 1 to the support plate 21. When all the mahjong tiles are in the support plate 21, the tile push rod 4 continues to rotate counterclockwise, enters the head of the herringbone-shaped guide groove 63, and continues to abut against the side wall of the guide groove 63, causing the guide member 61 to rotate clockwise. When rotating clockwise, the pusher 62 abuts against the support plate 21, forcing it to lift the support plate 21 until it is completely horizontal, thus completing the tile transfer.

[0033] A magnetic control switch 8 may be provided to enter a waiting state after the tile transfer is completed, and the magnetic control switch 8 may control the start and stop of the motor 3, so that the tile push rod 4 can be temporarily stopped at a fixed position and wait for the next start.

[0034] However, to facilitate the structural design, the tile storage passage 1 can usually be designed in an arc shape, making it easy to push the mahjong and eliminating blind spots and jamming. However, the tile push rod 4 can be installed around the tile storage passage 1 and driven by the motor 3 to rotate in a circle. In this way, the tile push rod 4 can rotate forward or backward within a certain range to realize the functions of stacking tiles, removing tiles, and picking up tiles.

[0035] Example 2: Of course, each mahjong machine having the structure described in the embodiment is usually equipped with four sets of mahjong drive devices of the first embodiment.

[0036] Example 3: A mahjong driving method including the mahjong driving device of embodiment 1, the steps of which are as follows: S1, in which the mahjongs are transported into the transport passage, and the transport passage transports the mahjongs one by one to the connecting device 5; The initial state of the connecting device 5 is abutted by the tile push rod 4, so that it rises above the tile storage passage 1, and at this time, the first mahjong is received, and the sensor device 7 detects the fall of the first mahjong, and then sends a signal to the controller, causing the motor 3 to rotate the tile push rod 4, thereby rotating the connecting device 5 so that it is horizontal with the tile storage passage 1, and at this time, the transport passage transports the second mahjong to the connecting device 5, and at this time, the second mahjong is stacked above the first mahjong S2; After the detecting device 7 detects the fall of the second mahjong, it sends a signal to the controller, so that the motor 3 continues to move the tile push rod 4, and the tile push rod 4 pushes the stacked mahjong into the tile storage passage 1, and then the motor 3 returns the tile push rod 4 to its initial position S3; At this time, the steps S2 and S3 are repeated, and the stacked mahjongs are guided in a row into the tile storage passage 1 until the set number is reached (S4); When the number of mahjong pieces reaches the set value, the motor 3 rotates the tile push rod 4 in the reverse direction, thereby rotating the lifting drive device 6, and one end of the support plate 21 of the tile feeding passage 2 drops and connects with the tile storage passage 1 (S5); Then, the motor 3 rotates the tile push rod 4 in the forward direction, and pushes all the aligned mahjongs along the tile storage passage onto the support plate 21 (S6). Then, the motor 3 continues to move the tile push rod 4 in the forward direction, and at this time, it abuts against the lifting drive device 6 again, guiding the lifting drive device 6 to rotate, and after the lifting drive device 6 rotates, it abuts against the support plate 21, causing the support plate 21 to rise and return to a horizontal state, thereby sending out the mahjong.

[0037] After sending out, the tile push rod 4 enters a standby state, waiting for the next successive tile stacking, tile discharging, or tile picking up. When the next tile stacking, tile discharging, or tile picking up is required, the tile push rod 4 first continues to rotate, passes through the connecting device 5, and then turns around to abut against the connecting device 5, causing the connecting device 5 to reach its initial state in step S2, and then repeats the above steps to achieve one tile stacking, tile discharging, and tile picking up function.

[0038] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
