Mahjong machine and card serving method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a mahjong machine and a card serving method thereof. In the card serving method, all card picking and carrying systems are separately and independently arranged, and in the same card picking and carrying system, a card storage slot bends in a large-angle arc shape, a card lifting component is arranged at the inner side of a card feeding device, the card lifting device and the card feeding device are arranged outside the arc bending of the card storage slot, a card serving driving mechanism of a card serving push head is arranged in the arc bending of the card storage slot, when mahjong cards are stored, and mahjong cards are attracted by a mahjong attraction pulley in a mahjong push device, are leveled to the same direction and then are sent out to a card bearing table in the card push device; then the card push device pushes the mahjong cards into the card storage slot; when the mahjong machine is utilized to serve the cards, a card lifting support plate in the card lifting component is fallen, driven by the card serving driving mechanism, the card serving push head in the card serving component pushes the mahjong cards in the card storage slot to the card lifting support plate in the card lifting component to serve the cards. According to the mahjong machine and the card serving method thereof, the using experience and the comfort are better, the number of the mahjong cards stored in the card storage slot is increased, and the height of a mahjong machine host and the production cost are lowered.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention belongs to the field of mahjong machine manufacturing, and in particular relates to a mahjong machine and a card loading method thereof. 【Background technique】 [0002] With the continuous improvement of living standards, people pay more and more attention to leisure and entertainment life, and the convenient and labor-saving automatic mahjong machine is gradually loved by people. [0003] The patent document whose publication number is CN200966910Y discloses a kind of slope playing device for fully automatic mahjong machine. The sideline of the table is inclined at an angle. There are four arc-shaped card storage slots arranged in the shape of a windmill under the desktop board. The end of each card storage slot is equipped with a card delivery pusher. The pusher passes the card delivery wire rope and the pusher motor. Each card outlet is provided with a supporting door bar, one end of the supporting door bar is hinged with the card o...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0011] However, the above-mentioned slope playing mahjong machine in the prior art has not been able to completely overcome the following technical problems so far, though the inventor has repeatedly developed and improved the mahjong machine:

[0012] 1. In the prior art, the card feeding device and the card lifting assembly are arranged on the inside of the card storage slot, and the card lifting assembly in one group of card picking and conveying systems is arranged on the card feeding device in another group of card picking and transporting systems. The inner side, thereby forming the interlaced arrangement between adjacent pick-up card handling systems to extend the length of the card storage slot, but the number of mahjong tiles that can be stored in this way is still limited, especially the large ones.

[0013] 2. Because the adjacent card picking and handling systems are interlaced with each other, the upper and lower stacking between the adjacent card delivery device and the card lifting component is inevitable, which leads to an increase in the height of the mahjong machine

[0014] 3. Due to the staggered arrangement between the adjacent card picking and handling systems, the card lifting component and the card storage slot cannot be stacked up and down and the length of the card storage slot is limited, so the setting position of the card lifting port of the adjacent card picking and handling system is extremely restricted. Large restrictions affect the comfort of the mahjong machine

Take the 85cm square mahjong machine using 48mm mahjong tiles as an example, such as figure 1 As shown, the four rows of mahjong tile walls directly rising from the four-sided card opening 111 on the table top 11 are arranged in a windmill shape, and the distance between the two rows of mahjong tile walls is 35cm, so that the area where the player's left hand side is used to placing kong tiles is very large. Small (that is, the distance between the mahjong tile wall and the table frame is too small) cannot be placed. Players need to move the mahjong tile wall to clear the Kong tile area, which affects the comfort of use

[0015] 4. Due to the staggered arrangement of adjacent card picking and handling systems, the arc of the card storage slot is small (that is, the direction of card entry and card output of the card storage slot is arranged at an acute angle) and the shape is irregular, so the card storage is driven The driving mechanism of the card pushing head in the groove is complex in structure, requires high manufacturing precision, reliability is limited by the structure, and the manufacturing cost and maintenance cost are high.

In the above-mentioned card delivery device, the card bearing section and the delivery section of the card delivery device use the same power, and the load of the delivery motor is large; it is necessary to cooperate with the card transfer device, the card transfer slot and other card transfer devices to realize the card delivery device and the card storage slot. The connection of the transfer card device requires high manufacturing precision and difficult assembly and coordination

Because there is a large uncertainty in the contact position of the first mahjong tile in the stack with the conveyor belt of the tile receiving section during the falling process, it is easy to cause the position of the first mahjong tile (the mahjong tile below) to shift, that is, the stacking The two mahjong tiles are uneven up and down or even stuck when pushing the tiles, and because pushing the mahjong tiles along the direction of vertical conveyor belt conveyance will cause the conveyor belt to deviate, so the mahjong tiles must be sent out from the tile receiving section as little as possible. The force of small mahjong tiles on the conveyor belt along the direction of vertical conveyor belt conveyance, therefore, in the card picking and handling device of the above-mentioned patent document, a turn card device must be used to cooperate with the card bearing section of the card delivery device, and the card transfer device is used to move the tiles. Realize the flushness and small radius rotation and translation of the upper and lower mahjong tiles
