The slope card feeding mechanism 6 for feeding cards according to this embodiment may be various in card feeding driving mechanism, for example, a chain driving mode may be used for feeding cards, a specific structure may refer to a chinese patent document with publication No. CN208877886U or other similar chain driving structure, a wire rope driving mode may be used for feeding cards, a specific structure may refer to a chinese patent document with publication No. CN105413166a or other similar chain driving structure, a synchronous belt may be used for feeding cards, and a specific structure may refer to a chinese patent document with publication No. CN208694237U or other similar synchronous belt driving structure.
It should be noted that the second embodiment of the ramp card feeding mechanism 6 may employ a variety of card feeding drive mechanisms because the card feeding drive mechanism only acts on the horizontal segment of the card feeding process and the card feeding trajectories of adjacent card feeding pusher heads 612 do not overlap.
The method for arranging the mahjong pieces of the mahjong machine comprises the following steps:
The mahjong pieces 10 on the shuffling tray 3 are shifted to the lower parts of the card feeding ports of the four card feeding devices 4, and are sucked up by the card sucking wheels in the card feeding devices 4 to enter the card feeding channel 42 and are straightened to be conveyed along the length direction; the tile feeding device 4 is sequentially provided with a first tile pushing position 421 and a second tile pushing position 422 along the direction of feeding the mahjong tiles 10, the tile pushing head 7 pushes the single mahjong tile 10 on the first tile pushing position 421 to the flat pushing tile feeding device 5, and the tile pushing head 7 pushes the single mahjong tile 10 on the second tile pushing position 422 to the slope tile feeding mechanism 6; after a sufficient number of mahjong tiles 10 are stored in the flat-pushing tile feeding device 5 and the slope tile feeding mechanism 6, the arranged mahjong tiles 10 are conveyed to the table top 2 of the mahjong machine through the flat-pushing tile feeding device 5 and the slope tile feeding mechanism 6.
Specifically, four inner tile outlets 25 and four outer tile outlets 26 are arranged on the mahjong machine table top 2, the four inner tile outlets 25 are rectangular four sides respectively, the four outer tile outlets 26 are positioned at the outer sides of the inner tile outlets 25 and are close to four corners of the rectangle respectively, the flat pushing tile feeding device 5 feeds two layers of mahjong tiles 10 to the mahjong machine table top 2 through the four inner tile outlets 25, and the slope tile feeding mechanism 6 feeds single-layer tiles to the mahjong machine table top 2 through the four outer tile outlets 26.
In the flat-push card feeding device 5, the first card stacking method is as follows: the mahjong tile pushing device comprises a tile supporting plate 553 for storing the double-layer mahjong tile 10, wherein a warp plate 56 is arranged on the tile inlet side of the tile supporting plate 553, the warp plate 56 is flush with the tile supporting plate 553 and is arranged in a staggered avoiding manner, and one end of the warp plate 56, which is close to a first tile pushing position 421, can be lifted upwards; when the tile supporting plate 553 receives the first layer of mahjong tiles 10, the movable end of the warping plate 56 warps and is matched with the height of the first tile pushing position 421, the mahjong tiles 10 are pushed onto the tile supporting plate 553 along the warping plate 56 from the first tile pushing position 421, when the first layer of mahjong tiles 10 on the tile supporting plate 553 are fully arranged, the movable end of the warping plate 56 falls down to receive the second layer of mahjong tiles 10, at the moment, the upper surface of the first layer of mahjong tiles 10 is matched with the height of the first tile pushing position 421, and the tile pushing machine head 7 continues to push tiles until the second layer of mahjong tiles 10 are fully arranged.
The second card stacking mode is as follows: the mahjong tile pushing machine comprises a tile supporting plate 553 for storing double-layer mahjong tiles 10, wherein the tile supporting plate 553 is provided with two stay positions which are matched with the height of a first tile pushing position 421 and are at least one mahjong tile 10 thickness lower than the first tile pushing position 421, when the tile supporting plate 553 receives a first layer of mahjong tiles 10, the tile supporting plate 553 is matched with the height of the first tile pushing position 421, the mahjong tiles 10 are conveyed onto the tile supporting plate 553 through the first tile pushing position 421, when the first layer of mahjong tiles 10 on the tile supporting plate 553 are fully arranged, the tile supporting plate 553 descends, the descending height is at least one mahjong tile 10 thickness, and the tile pushing machine head 7 continues to push tiles until a second layer of mahjong tiles 10 are fully arranged.
The first card lifting mode is as follows: when a deal signal is received, the deal signal is usually sent by a player, the deal board 553 is lifted to a position flush with the table top 2 of the mahjong machine or higher than the table top 2 of the mahjong machine, then the mahjong pieces 10 on the deal board 553 are pushed out onto the table top 2 of the mahjong machine, and then the deal board 553 descends to the original position to wait for the next round of deal.
The second card lifting mode is as follows: when a deal signal is received, the deal signal is usually sent by a player, the cover plate on the inner deal 25 is lowered to a height matched with the deal plate 553, then the mahjong pieces 10 on the deal plate 553 are pushed out onto the cover plate, and then the cover plate is lifted to be flush with the table top 2 of the mahjong machine.
In the slope card feeding mechanism 6, the first card feeding mode is as follows: when a tile-feeding signal is received, the tile-feeding signal is usually sent by a player, the tile-feeding and tile-pushing head 612 pushes the mahjong tiles 10 to advance along the first tile-feeding guide rail 63 and can jack up the first turning plate 23 hinged with the table top 2 of the mahjong machine on the outer tile outlet 26 until all the mahjong tiles 10 are pushed onto the table top, then the tile-feeding and tile-pushing head 612 returns to the original position, and after tile feeding is completed, the distribution of the mahjong tiles 10 is shown in fig. 25.
The second card feeding mode is as follows: when a tile-feeding signal is received, the tile-feeding signal is usually sent by a player, a second turning plate 24 hinged with the table top 2 of the mahjong machine on the tile outlet 26 falls down and is connected with a second tile feeding guide rail, the tile feeding head pushes the mahjong tiles 10 on the second tile feeding guide rail onto the second turning plate 24, the second turning plate 24 turns up to be flush with the table top 2 of the mahjong machine, and after tile feeding is completed, the mahjong tiles 10 are distributed as shown in fig. 26.
