Description of the embodiments
The following further describes the technical scheme with reference to the attached drawings.
Example 1
As shown in fig. 1, the tile supporting device of the mahjong machine of the embodiment mainly comprises a tile lifting mechanism 4, a tile pushing mechanism 5, a transmission mechanism 9 and a tile receiving mechanism 7. The card lifting mechanism 4 is in transmission connection with the card pushing mechanism 5. The transmission mechanism 9 is respectively connected with the card lifting mechanism 4, the card pushing mechanism 5 and the card receiving mechanism 7 in a transmission way.
The transmission mechanism of the embodiment mainly comprises a forward transmission unit 91 for transmitting the movement of the card lifting mechanism 4 and the card pushing mechanism 5, a reverse transmission unit 92 for transmitting the movement of the card receiving mechanism 7, a one-way transmission member 93 and a driving shaft 94. The forward transmission unit 91 and the reverse transmission unit 92 are respectively in transmission connection with a drive shaft 94 through a unidirectional transmission member 93. The forward transmission unit transmits the card lifting mechanism and the card pushing mechanism, so that the lug and the swing arm do corresponding movement, and the reverse transmission unit 92 transmits the driving unit, so that the card receiving seat and the card pushing head do corresponding movement.
Further, as shown in fig. 4, the forward transmission unit 91 mainly comprises a card lifting transmission member, a card pushing transmission member 51, a driving rotation member 911 for transmitting the card lifting transmission member, the card pushing transmission member 51, and an intermediate rotation assembly 912. The card lifting transmission member consists of a first bevel gear 41 and a driven rotation member 45 in transmission connection with the first bevel gear 41, wherein the driven rotation member 45 is in transmission connection with a driving rotation member 911. The driving rotary member 911 is in driving connection with the driving shaft 94 through a unidirectional transmission member 93.
The driven rotation member 45 of the present embodiment is a gear, and the driving rotation member 911 is a gear. The gear is coaxially arranged on the transmission shaft of the first bevel gear. The gears realize the transmission of the card lifting mechanism 4.
The number of the card lifting mechanisms 4 and the number of the card pushing mechanisms 5 are two, and the first bevel gears 41 of each card lifting mechanism 4 are in transmission connection through an intermediate rotating assembly 912 consisting of four gears. Of course, the technical solution of the present invention can also adopt only one card lifting mechanism 4 and card pushing mechanism 5 (the related figures are not shown), i.e. the intermediate rotating assembly 912 is not needed.
As shown in fig. 2, 5 and 6, the card lifting mechanism 4 of the present embodiment mainly includes a card lifting plate 1, a swing arm 42, a top block 44 including a cam surface 442, and a guide sleeve 43. The guide sleeve 43 is fixed on the frame of the mahjong machine, and the top block 44 is provided with a guide part 443 corresponding to the guide sleeve 43. The top block 44 is connected in the guide sleeve 43 in a penetrating way through the guide part 443 to realize sliding connection with the guide sleeve 43. The guide sleeve 43 is provided with a waist-shaped hole 431 for adjusting the horizontal position and a round hole 432 for positioning. One end of the swing arm 42 is a driving and rotating end, the other end of the swing arm 42 is a movable end, and in this embodiment, the movable end of the swing arm 42 is provided with a roller 421. The swing arm 42 is propped against the cam surface 442 through the movable end and is movably connected with the top block 44 to realize the lifting of the top block 44. The card lifting plate 1 is connected with the top block 44 and moves synchronously with the top block 44. The guide groove of the guide sleeve 43 is T-shaped, and the guide portion 443 is a slider adapted to the guide groove.
The cam surface 442 in this embodiment is V-shaped. The lower edge of the top block 44 is provided with an arc-shaped flange 441, and the flange 441 is connected with a cam surface 442 to form a groove. The flange of the embodiment is helpful for the swing arm to pull down the top block 44 more reliably and rapidly when the swing arm performs circular motion downwards, thereby avoiding the hysteresis effect generated by the static friction between the top block 44 and the guide sleeve falling only under the action of gravity, and enabling the action of the card lifting plate to be smoother when falling.
The driving and rotating end of the swing arm 42 is driven to rotate by the first bevel gear 41, and drives the movable end to do circular motion so as to realize lifting of the top block 44. When the swing arm 42 rotates to the highest point, the roller 421 is propped against the horizontal plane at the top end of the V-shaped cam surface 442, and the tile lifting plate 1 is pushed by the top block 44 to be flush with the table top of the mahjong machine. When the swing arm 42 rotates to the lowest point, the top block 44 drives the tile lifting plate 1 to descend to be in parallel with the tile bearing plate, and the swing arm 42 keeps static to wait for the tile pushing plate 3 to push the mahjong tiles onto the tile lifting plate 1.
As shown in fig. 8, 9 and 10, the card pushing mechanism 5 mainly comprises a projection 52, a sliding block 53 and a card pushing plate 3 which can slide horizontally, wherein the projection 52 and the sliding block 53 are arranged on the end surface of the projection. The card pushing plate 3 is connected with a sliding block 53. The slider 53 is provided with a channel 531 therein, see fig. 11. The card pusher 51 of this embodiment is a second bevel gear. The second bevel gear meshes with the first bevel gear 41 and is in driving connection with the slider 53 by a sliding connection of the lug 52 with the channel 531. The channel 531 is U-shaped. The sliding block 53 is slidably connected to a supporting seat 532, the lower end surface of the sliding block 53 is provided with a sliding block 533, the supporting seat 532 is provided with a sliding rail 534 matched with the sliding block 533, the sliding block 53 is slidably connected to the sliding rail 534 through the sliding block 533 to play a role in sliding guiding, and the flatness of the card pushing surface of the card pushing plate is ensured. When the lug 52 pushes against two ports of the U-shaped channel 531 during movement in the channel 531, the sliding block 53 is pushed to realize sliding, and the movement precision of the card pushing plate is effectively ensured.
The second bevel gear is provided with teeth, and the driving rotation member 911 is a gear. The card pushing mechanism 5 is in transmission connection with the gear through the meshing of the teeth of the second bevel gear.
The reverse transmission unit 92 of the present embodiment is a transmission gear. Both unidirectional transmission members 93 of this embodiment use unidirectional bearings.
As shown in fig. 12 and 13, the card receiving mechanism 7 mainly includes a card receiving base 72 including a second elevating transmission pin 721, a housing 71, and a driving unit. The driving unit mainly comprises a driving wheel (namely the transmission shaft), a rotating arm 74, a sliding seat 75 provided with a channel 751, a guide rod 76 and a card pushing head 77. Drive teeth 731 and lifting cams 732 are provided on both end surfaces of drive wheel 73, respectively. The drive wheel 73 is connected to the transmission gear via the drive teeth 731 (in this embodiment, an excessive gear set is provided between the drive teeth 731 and the transmission gear, see fig. 12); and is connected with a second lifting transmission pin 721 through a lifting cam 732, and the driving card receiving seat 72 is slidably connected to the housing 71 in an up-and-down manner. The card receiving seat 72 is provided with a vertically arranged kidney-shaped hole 723 for penetrating the rotating arm 74. The guide bar 76 is supported in the housing 71 and is connected to the slide 75. One end of the rotating arm 74 is provided with a translation transmission pin and is driven to rotate by a driving wheel 73 (transmission shaft), and the other end is slidably connected to the channel 751 through the kidney-shaped hole. The card pusher 77 is connected to the slide 75. The translation transmission pin abuts against the sliding groove, and the rotating arm rotates to drive the card pushing head to move in a translation mode along the guide rod 76 through the translation transmission pin; the second lifting transmission pin is connected to the card receiving seat and abuts against the lifting cam, and the lifting cam rotates to drive the card receiving seat to do lifting movement through the second lifting transmission pin.
The card receiving seat 72 includes a card receiving plate 724 and a support plate 722 vertically connected to the lower end surface of the card receiving plate, forms an inverted L-shaped structure and constitutes an accommodating space below the card receiving plate, in which driving teeth and lifting cams connected to the driving shaft are disposed. A second lift pin 721 is attached to the inner side of the support plate 722.
In the embodiment, the power input of the whole card bearing device is realized only through the transmission connection of the output shaft of the driving motor 6. When the rotating shaft of the motor rotates clockwise, the forward rotating unit is driven to drive the card lifting mechanism and the card pushing mechanism to move, and at the moment, the card receiving mechanism is kept static and is in a non-working state due to the unidirectional transmission piece arranged between the reverse rotating unit and the driving shaft. When the motor rotates anticlockwise, the reverse rotation unit is driven to drive the card receiving mechanism to work, and the forward rotation unit is kept static under the action of the unidirectional transmission piece, so that the card lifting mechanism and the card pushing mechanism are in a non-working state. Of course, the unidirectional transmission piece arranged between the reverse rotation unit and the driving shaft can be omitted, because when the operations of lifting and pushing the mahjong tiles are needed to be completed, all mahjong tiles are displayed on the mahjong tile bearing plate, the mahjong tile receiving mechanism can always operate without influencing the operation of the mahjong tile lifting mechanism and the mahjong tile pushing mechanism, but the design mode increases the load of the output shaft of the driving motor, and influences the service life of the motor.
In this embodiment, a light sensing device (not shown in the figure) is disposed on the frame when the tile receiving seat 72 moves to the highest position, so as to detect whether the tile receiving seat 72 receives a set number of mahjong tiles, typically 2-3 mahjong tiles.
The number of the card lifting mechanisms 4 in the embodiment is two, and the first bevel gears 41 of each card lifting mechanism 4 are in transmission connection through an intermediate rotating assembly consisting of four gears.
Example 2
In this embodiment, the first bevel gear is replaced by a worm gear, one end of the swing arm is a driving rotation end, and the other end is a movable end. The driving rotating end drives the movable end to do circular motion through the rotation of the worm wheel driving. The swing arm is propped against the cam surface through the movable end and is movably connected with the top block to realize the lifting of the top block.
And the second bevel gear is a worm, the lug is arranged on the axial end surface of the worm and rotates along with the worm to do circular motion in the horizontal plane, and the worm is meshed with the worm wheel.
The driving rotating piece is a gear, teeth are arranged on the periphery of the worm wheel, the worm wheel is meshed with the gear through the teeth to realize transmission connection, and when a motor shaft unidirectionally transmits the gear by the forward transmission unit, the worm wheel is driven to rotate so as to drive the worm to rotate; the card lifting mechanism is driven to complete card pushing work.
The remaining components of this embodiment are the same as those of embodiment 1, and will not be described again here.
Example 3
In this embodiment, the driving rotary member is provided as a first pulley, and a second pulley is coaxially provided at the first bevel gear, and the second pulley is in driving connection with the first pulley through a belt. If two corresponding card lifting mechanisms are provided, the corresponding middle rotating components are belt pulley groups.
The remaining components of this embodiment are the same as those of embodiment 1, and will not be described again here. Similarly, the reverse transmission unit can also be used for making similar alternative technical schemes, and the description is omitted.
Example 4
The unidirectional transmission member employed in example 1 was: the unidirectional bearing is replaced by a ratchet pawl assembly, and the replacement mode is a conventional technical means of a person skilled in the art, and is not repeated herein (a pawl is arranged on a motor shaft of a drive motor, and a ratchet is arranged on the inner ring of a transmission gear).
Example 5

The driving unit mainly comprises a shell, a cam, a lug, a lever, a card pushing head, a sliding block, a sliding chute and a guide rod. The guide rod is supported in the casing.

One end face of the cam is eccentrically provided with a convex block, the other end face of the cam is provided with a top block (not shown in the figure), and the cam is connected in the sliding groove in a sliding way through the top block to realize movable connection with the sliding block. The lever is provided with a notch for sliding connection with the lug, one end of the lever is hinged on the shell, the other end of the lever is movably connected with the card receiving seat, and the lever is propped against the lug through the notch to serve as a fulcrum, so that a periodically reciprocating lever is formed. When the cam is driven to rotate by the reverse transmission unit, on one hand, the lever is driven to reciprocate to realize the card receiving action of the card receiving seat, and on the other hand, the sliding block is driven by the top block of the cam to slide along the guide rod, so that the card pushing head completes the card pushing action to push the mahjong cards from the card receiving seat to the card bearing plate. The cam and reverse gear unit may be geared as well as by a pulley set, as in the alternatives mentioned above.
The remaining components of this embodiment are the same as those of embodiment 1, and will not be described again here.
