The slope mahjong tile feeding device comprises a rail support, a mahjong tile storage channel is arranged on the rail support and comprises a straight line section and a U-shaped section, a mahjong tile pulling guide rail is arranged at the upper end edge of the inner side edge of the mahjong tile storage channel, a mahjong tile pulling slide block is slidably mounted on the mahjong tile pulling guide rail, a pushing head is arranged on the mahjong tile pulling slide block and is arranged in the mahjong tile storage channel, a pulling mechanism for pulling the mahjong tile pulling slide block to move on the mahjong tile pulling slide rail is mounted on the rail support, a mahjong tile lifting plate is hinged to the rail support, and the mahjong tile lifting plate is far away from the end position of the U-shaped section, and the end position of the mahjong tile lifting plate and the hinged end of the rail support can be lifted. The mahjong machine has large mahjong storage quantity of the mahjong storage channel and good stability of the mahjong lifting process.

In the existing slope tile discharging type mahjong machine, mahjong tiles are shuffled by the shuffling large disc and then are conveyed to the tile pushing device by the tile conveying device, the tile pushing device pushes the mahjong tiles stacked into one pier into the slope tile discharging device (one pier is two tiles stacked up and down), the mahjong tiles are arranged into a row of a plurality of piers in the slope tile discharging device, and after the mahjong tiles are arranged to a specified pier number, the slope tile discharging device pushes all the mahjong tiles to a desktop of a corresponding party at one time. Thus, according to different playing habits, the existing mahjong machine arranges mahjong tiles (for example, 18 tiles in each square) arranged in a row of piers in each square on the table top, and players grab the tiles, arrange and stand the grabbed tiles in sequence according to tile faces when playing the tiles (for example, 13 tiles in each square and one more tile banker). Like this, adopt once only to go up the card, the player needs artifical card distribution and range, inconvenient and produce easily and take the card mistake and old thousand, and player experience remains to be promoted.

Therefore, the chinese patent publication No. CN107519637A discloses a mahjong machine and a mahjong loading method thereof, wherein four groups of mahjong picking and carrying systems of the mahjong machine are respectively and independently arranged, and are not arranged in a staggered manner, in the mahjong loading assembly, the mahjong storage groove is curved in a large-angle arc shape, so that the storage quantity of mahjong in the mahjong storage groove is increased, the height and manufacturing cost of the mahjong of the main machine are greatly reduced, and the use experience and comfort are better. The cover plate capable of being opened upwards is arranged, so that the mahjong tiles at the edge of the tile lifting support plate can jack the cover plate in the rising process of the tile lifting support plate, and the cover plate returns to the original position after the tile lifting support plate is flush with the tabletop of the mahjong machine, so that the tile lifting support plate and the tabletop of the mahjong machine are prevented from having large gaps or the mahjong tiles at the edge collide with the tabletop of the mahjong machine. However, the large-angle bending in the mahjong storage groove can increase the resistance of the mahjong storage groove wall to the mahjong tiles and the occupied volume of the mahjong storage groove in the mahjong tile feeding process, correspondingly reduce the area of the large shuffling plate, and further influence the overall performance of the mahjong machine.

And patent document with publication number CN107320947A discloses a mahjong machine and its slope tile-discharging device and tile-loading method, wherein the tile-lifting groove, the tile-storing groove and the tile-sending channel of the tile-sending device in the same group of tile-picking and carrying systems are arranged in a G shape, the tile-sending channel of one group of tile-picking and carrying systems is located below the side of the tile-lifting groove of the other adjacent group of tile-picking and carrying systems, so that the height of the main machine of the mahjong machine can be reduced; the cover plate capable of being opened upwards is arranged, so that the mahjong tiles at the edge of the tile lifting support plate can jack the cover plate in the lifting process of the tile lifting support plate, and the cover plate returns to the original position after the tile lifting support plate is parallel to the mahjong machine table top plate, so that the tiles at the edge or the larger gap between the tile lifting support plate and the mahjong machine table top plate can be prevented from colliding with the mahjong machine table top plate. Therefore, the mahjong can be played by stages, players can erect six mounds and half or thirteen mahjong tiles which are played for the first time, the process of manual splitting and arrangement is omitted, the operation of the players is simpler and more convenient, and the entertainment experience is better.

The above patent documents all use the slope card-feeding device capable of feeding cards for the second time to feed cards in stages, and players can start playing cards by erecting six mounds and half or thirteen mahjong tiles fed for the first time, so that the processes of manual card distribution and arrangement are omitted, the operation of the players is simpler and more convenient, and the entertainment experience is better.

However, the mahjong machine disclosed in the above patent document has the following disadvantages:

1) the arrangement of the mahjong machine has improved space: for example, the mahjong storage groove of the mahjong machine in the publication number CN107519637A is bent at a large angle, so that the resistance of the mahjong storage groove wall to the mahjong during the mahjong loading process is increased, the occupied volume of the mahjong storage groove is increased, the area of the large shuffling plate is correspondingly reduced, and the overall performance of the mahjong machine is influenced; and the mahjong storage groove of the mahjong machine in the publication number CN107320947A is too long, so that residual space still exists in the mahjong storage groove after the mahjong storage is finished;
