Behind the magnets 38, there are provided flexible projections 40, 40 projecting below the rotating member 36. The rotating member 36 is rotatably supported by a shaft 44 having a gear 42 below as shown in FIG. 3, and the magnet 38 of the rotating member 36 and the periphery of the rotating body 28 of the tile stirring means 26 are in the same direction. The gear 30 of the rotating body 28 and the gear 42 of the rotating member 36 are meshed with each other so as to rotate at substantially the same speed, and are configured to rotate in conjunction with each other by the motor 32. Below the rotating member 36, a magnet 46 for adsorbing the tiles 14 on the rotating body 28 and keeping it on standby is arranged on the rotating body 28 side of a base 56 of the tile guiding means 50 described later. . The magnet 38 of the rotating member 36 determines the polarity of the magnet 38 of the rotating member 36 and the magnet 24 of the tile 14 so that the back side of the tile 14 is attracted to the lower surface thereof, and the magnet 46 for the tile standby Determines the polarity of the magnet 46 and the magnet 24 of the tile 14 so that the surface on the rotating body 28 side and the back side of the tile 14 are attracted. For example, when the front side of the magnet 24 of the tile 14 is the N pole and the rear side is the S pole, the lower surface side of the magnet 38 of the rotating member 36 and the surface of the magnet 46 on the rotating body 28 side are respectively N poles.

In this case, a tile whose back side is upward or downward is attracted to the tile standby magnet 46 by rotating about 1/4 turn, and a tile whose back side is facing the magnet 46 is left as it is. If the tiles 14 are attracted to the magnets 46 and the back side of the tiles 14 faces the opposite side to the magnets 46, the tiles are rotated by almost half turn and are attracted to the tile standby magnets 46. As a result, the tiles are attracted to the tile standby magnet 46 in the same manner as described above. In particular, regarding the tile standby magnet 46, the relationship between the magnetic force of the tile standby magnet 46 and the weight of the tile 14, the relationship between the magnet 46 and the magnet 24 of the tile 14, or the relationship between the magnet 46 and the upper surface of the rotating body 28. According to the positional relationship described above, the tiles 14 that have moved on the rotating body 28 with the back side of the tiles 14 facing upward are provided so that the side surfaces of the tiles 14 are attracted to the tile standby magnets 46 in this state. The attraction of the tiles 14 by the magnet 38 of the rotating member 36 can be performed more efficiently, which is particularly desirable in practice. When the magnet 38 of the rotating member 36 rotates above the tiles 14 in standby, the back side of the tiles 14 is attracted to the magnets 38 and transferred to the stacking means 100 via tile guide means 50 described later. Is done.

Hereinafter, the stacking means 100, the reloading means 200, and the tile floating means 300 will be described in detail.
[0031]
[Stacking means]
11 is a perspective view of the stacking means 100, and FIG. 12 is an exploded perspective view of the stacking means 100. In the present embodiment, a structure in which the three-stage stacking plate 114 serving as the standby table is rotated up and down or moved up and down in a horizontal state by driving the motor 110 is a vertical movement means of the standby table. In the figure, reference numeral 102 denotes an L-shaped base plate, and its base 103 is fixed to the inner bottom surface of the mahjong table. In the figure, two slide members 104 are fixed to the front side of the base plate 102, and an in-machine guide 106 is fixed to the rear side. A gear box 108 is mounted between the two slide members 104 fixed to the base plate 102, and a motor 110 for driving the gear box 108 is mounted below the in-machine guide 106. A rotating arm 112 is attached to one end of the gear box 108, and the rotating arm 112 is rotated in one of upper and lower directions depending on the rotation direction of the motor 110. The in-machine guide 106 incorporates a three-stage stacking plate 114 serving as a standby table, and the free end 113 of the rotating arm 112 contacts the lower surface of the three-stage stacking plate 114. Further, a first protruding shaft 116 is disposed at an end of the three-stage stacking plate 114, and the first protruding shaft 116 is rotatably fitted to the bearing member 118. It is configured to be rotatable up and down around the protruding shaft 116. Therefore, if the rotating arm 112 is rotated upward by rotating the motor 110, the free end 113 pushes the three-tiered plate 114 upward, and the three-tiered plate 114 is centered on the first projecting shaft 116. Will rotate upward. When the motor 110 is rotated in the reverse direction, the push-up by the rotating arm 112 is released, and the three-tiered plate 114 is rotated downward about the first protruding shaft 116 by the weight of the three-tiered plate 114.
[0032]
The bearing member 118 is fixed to an elevating bracket 120, and the elevating bracket 120 is fixed to the slide member 104. Further, a first guide groove 122 is formed in the in-machine guide 106 so that a first protruding shaft 116 can be raised and lowered. Therefore, when the lifting bracket 120 is raised and lowered, the end of the three-stage stacking plate 114 on the first protruding shaft 116 side is raised and lowered. A second protruding shaft 124 is disposed in the middle of the three-stage stacking plate 114. A second guide groove 126 is formed in the mold base plate 102, and a guide hole 128 is formed in the elevating bracket 120. The lower end 127 of the second guide groove 126 and the lower end 129 of the guide hole 128 The function of stopping the lowering of the shaft 124 is achieved. As a result, it is possible to prevent the three-tiered plate 114 from rotating too far below a predetermined position. On the other hand, the upper end 130 of the guide hole 128 is configured so as to contact the second protruding shaft 124 at a position where the three-tiered plate 114 is turned upward from below and becomes horizontal, and at that position, the rotating arm 112 is turned. Is rotated further upward, the second protruding shaft 124 pushes up the upper end 130 of the guide hole, so that the elevating bracket 120 rises, and the bearing member 118 and the bearing member 118 arranged on the elevating bracket 120 are accompanied by this ascent. As the first protruding shaft 116 fitted to the ascending member rises, the three-tiered plate 114 rises while maintaining the horizontal state. When the rotating arm 112 is rotated downward by rotating the motor 110 in the reverse direction, the lifting bracket 120 is lowered by the pulling force of the spring 132, and the three-stage The stacking plate descends.
[0033]
Next, the process of stacking three mahjong tiles by the stacking means 100 will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0034]
FIG. 13 is a schematic view showing a state in which the first-stage mahjong tiles 14 are arranged on the three-stage stacking plate 114. In the figure, as will be described later, the three-stage stacking plate 114 descends from the upper position, that is, the position of the three-stage stacking plate 114 shown in FIG. Is stopped, and the lowering of the three-tiered plate 114 is stopped. Then, when the mahjong game played on the top board is finished, the switch 20a for opening the opening / closing lid 18 is pressed, the mahjong tile is dropped from the tile slot 16 into the mahjong table, and the switch for closing the opening / closing lid 18 is closed. When the button 20b is pressed, the tile slot 16 is closed by the opening / closing lid 18. Thereafter, the tile pile 14a and the tile arrangement 14b float on the top plate by the tile floating means 300 described later, and the motor 32 rotates to operate the tile stirring means 26, the tile take-out means 34, and the tile guide means 50. Set to Then, as described above, the mahjong tiles 14 guided on the placing portion 62 of the guide path 58 are sequentially pushed into the insertion openings 64 of the stacking means 100 by the horizontal bar 70 of the pushing mechanism 68, as shown in FIG. Thus, the first row of tiles 14 (1) is formed side by side on the three-tiered plate 114. Then, when the photo sensor 80 of the guideway 58 counts the twelve mahjong tiles 14, the solenoid 78 operates and the entrance 60 of the guideway 58 is closed by the partition piece 76. When the first row of tiles 14 (1) composed of twelve mahjong tiles is thus formed on the three-tiered plate 114, the motor 110 is rotated forward and the three-tiered plate 114 is rotated by one tile. When the sensor S102 detects the three-tiered plate 114, the rotation of the motor 110 is stopped, and the solenoid 78 is released to move the partition piece 76 downward to move the partition piece 76 downward. The entrance 60 is set to open. Then, the mahjong tiles 14 are guided on the guide path 58 and guided on the placing portion 62, and the mahjong tiles 14 on the placing portion 62 are inserted into the insertion ports 64 of the stacking means 100 by the horizontal bar 70 of the pushing mechanism 68. The tiles are sequentially pushed in, and a second row of tiles 14 (2) is formed on the first row of tiles 14 (1) on the three-tiered plate 114 as shown in FIG. Then, when the photo sensor 80 of the guideway 58 counts the eleven mahjong tiles 14, the solenoid 78 operates and the partition piece 76 closes the entrance 60 of the guideway 58. In this way, the second row of tiles 14 (2) consisting of 11 mahjong tiles is formed on the three-tiered plate 114. A step 134 having the same height as the first row of tiles 14 (1) is provided at the end of the three-tiered plate, but this is achieved by increasing the number of mahjong tiles. This is because the number of tiles arranged in the second and third rows may be larger than the number of tiles arranged in the same row. Then, the motor 110 rotates forward to rotate the three-tiered plate 114 downward by the height of one tile, and when the sensor S103 detects the three-tiered plate 114, the rotation of the motor 110 is stopped. The solenoid 78 is released and the partition 76 is moved downward so that the entrance 60 of the guideway 58 is opened. Then, the mahjong tiles 14 are guided on the guide path 58 and guided on the placing portion 62, and the mahjong tiles 14 on the placing portion 62 are inserted into the insertion ports 64 of the stacking means 100 by the horizontal bar 70 of the pushing mechanism 68. The tiles are sequentially pushed in, and a third tile row 14 (3) is formed on the second tile row 14 (2) on the three-tiered plate 114 as shown in FIG. Then, when the photo sensor 80 of the guideway 58 counts the eleven mahjong tiles 14, the solenoid 78 operates and the partition piece 76 closes the entrance 60 of the guideway 58. In this way, the third row of tiles 14 (3) consisting of 11 mahjong tiles is formed on the three-tiered plate 114. When the tiles are stacked in three stages on the three-stage stacking plate 114 of each competitor in this way, the motor 32 is stopped, and the operations of the tile stirring means 26, the tile removal means 34, and the tile guiding means 50 are stopped. .
[0035]
Then, this time, the motor 110 is rotated in the reverse direction to rotate upward until the three-tiered plate 114 becomes horizontal, that is, until the second projecting shaft 124 contacts the upper end 130 of the guide hole 128 as shown in FIG. Then, the three-tiered plate 114 is further raised while maintaining its horizontal state, and the rotation of the motor 110 is stopped when the sensor S104 senses the three-tiered plate 114 as shown in FIG. At the same time, the reloading means 200 described later operates to reload the third row of tiles 14 (3) and the second row of tiles 14 (2), and remove them from the three-tier stacking plate 114. When the transfer is completed, the three-tiered plate 114 is further raised while maintaining the horizontal state, and when the sensor S105 senses the three-tiered plate 114 as shown in FIG. To stop. At the same time, the reloading means 200 described later operates to reload the first row of tiles 14 (1) and remove it from the three-tiered plate 114. When the reloading operation is completed, the motor 110 rotates forward and the three-stage stacking plate 114 descends to the position where the sensor S101 senses as shown in FIG. Stops descending. After the switch 20b for closing the closing lid 18 is pressed, the tile floating means 300 descends, the reloading means 200 operates, and the tile pile 14a and the tile arrangement 14b float on the top board by the tile floating means 300. After that, a mahjong game is played on the top board, and the drive mechanism inside the mahjong table stops after three mahjong tiles are stacked on the three-stack plate 114, and after the mahjong game ends, the tiles are inserted. It is in a standby state waiting for a mahjong tile to be inserted through the mouth 16 and a switch 20b for closing the opening / closing lid 18 to be pressed.

19 is a perspective view of the transfer means 200, FIG. 20 is an exploded perspective view of the transfer means 200, and FIG. 21 is a schematic side view of the transfer means 200. In this embodiment, the pushing means 201 has a structure in which the pusher 238 is reciprocated in the horizontal direction by driving the motor 220. In the drawing, reference numeral 202 denotes an L-shaped substrate, and a hanging portion 204 of the L-shaped substrate 202 is opposite to the in-machine guide 106 of the L-shaped base plate 102 in the stacking means 100 as shown in FIG. It is fixed to the side of. The L-shaped substrate 202 has bracket passage grooves 206 and 208 formed so as not to hinder the lifting and lowering of the lifting bracket 120 in the stacking means 100.
[0037]
A transmission shaft 212 is attached to the back surface of the horizontal portion 210 of the L-shaped substrate 202, and rotating members 214 and 216 are fitted to both ends. A first arm 214a and a second arm 214b are disposed on the rotating member 214, and a vertical plate 218 is rotatably screwed at an upper end of the first arm 214a to a lower end of the vertical plate 218. Is rotatably screwed around a wheel 222 mounted on a motor 220. A cutout groove 223 is formed in the wheel 222, and sensors S201 and S202 are arranged at symmetrical positions so as to sandwich the wheel 222. The sensor S201 senses the notch groove 223 when the vertical plate 218 reaches the lowermost position, and the sensor S202 senses the notch groove 223 when the vertical plate 218 reaches the uppermost position. , The rotation of the motor 220 is stopped when each of the sensors S201 and S202 senses the notch groove 223. Therefore, when the motor 220 rotates by 180 degrees, the motors 220 are stopped by the sensors S201 and S202. A first horizontal plate 226 is rotatably screwed to one end of the second arm 214b of the rotation member 214. The other end of the first horizontal plate 226 is connected to a first pusher 238 described later. A protruding shaft 235 is rotatably fitted. Accordingly, when the motor 220 rotates, the rotational motion causes the vertical plate 218 to reciprocate vertically, and the vertical reciprocating motion of the vertical plate 218 imparts a rotational motion to the center shaft 215 via the first arm 214 a of the rotating member 214. Then, the second arm 214b rotates accordingly, and this rotation moves the first horizontal plate 226 horizontally reciprocatingly. When the rotation member 214 rotates, the rotation member 216 rotates via the transmission shaft 212. A first arm 216a is disposed on the rotating member 216, and a second horizontal plate 228 is rotatably screwed at one end of the first arm 216a, and the other end of the second horizontal plate 228 is provided. The portion is rotatably fitted with a second protruding shaft 237 attached to a pusher 238 described later. Therefore, the rotation of the rotating member 216 causes the first arm 216a to rotate, and the second horizontal plate 228 reciprocates horizontally with the rotation. According to the above configuration, when the motor 220 rotates, the first horizontal plate 226 and the second horizontal plate 228 reciprocate horizontally, and the pusher 238 reciprocates horizontally accordingly.
[0038]
U-shaped receiving members 230 and 232 are attached to both ends of the upper surface of the horizontal portion 210 of the L-shaped substrate 202, and horizontal shafts 231 and 233 are attached to the receiving members 230 and 232, respectively. ing. A pusher 238 is attached to the horizontal shafts 231 and 233 via slide members 234 and 236 so as to be slidable in the horizontal direction. The pusher 238 is made of a plate-like body that stands upright in a horizontal direction. The pusher 238 pushes the tile rows 14 (1), 14 (2), 14 (3) stacked by the above-mentioned stacking means 100 to raise tiles described later. It fulfills the function of transferring to the means 300. The first protruding shaft 235 and the second protruding shaft 237 described above are attached to the slide members 234 and 236, respectively. The rotation of the motor 220 causes the pusher 238 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction. That is, when the motor 220 rotates and the pusher 238 moves horizontally in one direction, the second tile row 14 (2) and the third tile row 14 (3) stacked are pushed and moved. The sensor S202 detects the cutout groove 223 of the wheel 222 of the motor 220, and the pusher 238 stops. The stop signal activates the motor 110 to raise the three-stage stacking plate 114 to the position shown in FIG. When the motor 220 rotates and the pusher 238 moves horizontally in the opposite direction, the first row of tiles 14 (1) is pushed, and the sensor S201 senses the notch groove 223 of the wheel 222 of the motor 220, and the motor 220 Stops, and the pusher 238 stops. This stop signal activates the motor 110 to lower the three-tiered plate 114 to the position shown in FIG. 13. At this time, the rotation of the motor 110 is stopped by the sensor S101 sensed and the three-tiered plate 114 is stopped. When the sensor S201 senses, the pusher 238 is stopped as described above, the three-tiered plate 114 is lowered, and the tile floating means 300 described later is operated.

Then, the motor 220 is driven by the detection of the sensor S301 to operate the reloading means 200. In the reloading means 200, first, the pusher 238 is operated by the driving of the motor 220, and the mahjong tiles 14 (1), 14 (2), 14 (3) on the stacking plate 114 in the stacking means 100 are stacked. Among them, the upper two mahjong tiles 14 (2) and 14 (3) are transshipped to the first elevator 301. When this transfer is completed, the sensor 220 senses and the motor 220 stops, and the pusher 238 stops. Further, the motor 110 of the stacking means 100 is driven by the detection of the sensor S202, and the stacking plate 114 is raised. When the stacking plate 114 rises by the height of two mahjong tiles, the sensor S105 senses and the motor 110 stops, and the stacking plate 114 stops. The motor 220 in the reloading means 200 is driven by the detection of the sensor S105, and the pusher 238 operates to move the remaining one-stage mahjong tiles 14 (1) on the stacking plate 114 in the stacking means 100 to the second elevator 302. Will be transshipped. When this transfer is completed, the sensor 220 senses and the motor 220 stops, and the pusher 238 stops.
[0050]
The motor 309 in the tile floating means 300 is driven again by the detection of the sensor S201, and the first lifting / lowering table 301 loaded with the two-stage mahjong tiles 14 (2) and 14 (3) and the one-stage mahjong tile are loaded. When the second platform 302 on which the tiles 14 (1) are loaded rises and reaches the top surface, the sensor S302 senses, the motor 309 stops, and the first platform 301 and the second platform 302 rise. Stop.
[0051]
In this manner, a tile pile 14a composed of two-tiered mahjong tiles 14 (2) and 14 (3) and a tile distribution 14b composed of a single-tiered mahjong tile 14 (1) are formed on the top board. You can start the game.
[0052]
Further, as shown in FIG. 30, by the detection of the sensor S201, after the previous mahjong game is over, the mahjong tile is dropped into the mahjong table and stirred, taken out, and guided by the tile washing system. On the other hand, an operation of stacking the three-stage stack is started.
[0053]
That is, the motor 110 in the stacking means 100 is driven by the detection of the sensor S201, and the stacking plate 114 is lowered, and the stacking plate 114 is moved to the position of the mounting portion 62 of the tile guiding means 50 in the tile washing system. When the insertion slot 64 is reached, the sensor S101 senses and the motor 110 stops, and the lowering of the stacking plate 114 stops. By the detection of the sensor S101, the solenoid 78 of each tile guiding means 50 operates to open the entrance 60 of the guideway 58 by the partition piece 76, so that the mahjong tiles can enter the guideway 58. When the photo sensor 80 provided in each guideway 58 counts 12 mahjong tiles, the solenoid 78 in each tile guide means 50 operates to close the entrance 60 of the guideway 58 by the partition piece 76. , Mahjong tiles cannot enter the taxiway. As a result, the first tiles 14 (1) of twelve pieces are formed on the stacking plate 114.
[0054]
Further, when the photosensors 80 provided on the guideways 58 count twelve mahjong tiles, the motor 110 of the stacking means 100 is driven, the stacking plate 114 is lowered, and the mahjong tiles are shifted one step. When the sensor 110 moves down by the height of one minute, the sensor 110 senses it, stops the motor 110, and stops the lowering of the stacking plate 114. In response to the detection of the sensor S102, the solenoid 78 of each tile guiding means 50 is operated to open the entrance 60 of the guideway 58 by the partition piece 76, so that the mahjong tiles can enter the guideway 58. When the photosensors 80 provided on each guideway 58 count 11 mahjong tiles, the solenoid 78 of each tile guide means 50 operates, and the entrance 60 of the guideway 58 by the partition 76 is closed. , Mahjong tiles cannot enter the taxiway. Thus, the second tile 14 (2) composed of eleven sheets is formed on the stacking plate 114.
[0055]
Also, when the photosensors 80 provided on the respective guide paths 58 count eleven mahjong tiles, the motor 110 in the stacking means 100 is driven, the stacking plate 114 is lowered, and the mahjong tile 1 is further moved. When the sensor 110 is lowered by the height of the step, the sensor S103 senses it, the motor 110 stops, and the lowering of the stacking plate 114 stops. By the detection of the sensor S103, the solenoid 78 of each tile guiding means 50 operates to open the entrance 60 of the guideway 58 by the partition piece 76, so that the mahjong tiles can enter the guideway 58. When the photosensors 80 provided on each guideway 58 count 11 mahjong tiles, the solenoid 78 of each tile guide means 50 operates, and the entrance 60 of the guideway 58 by the partition 76 is closed. , Mahjong tiles cannot enter the taxiway. As a result, the third tiles 14 (3) of eleven sheets are formed on the stacking plate 114.
[0056]
Then, when the photosensors 80 provided on each of the guide paths 58 count 11 mahjong tiles, the motor 32 operating the tile washing system is stopped, and the tile washing system is stopped. Then, the motor 110 in the stacking means 100 is driven, and the stacking plate 114 on which the mahjong tiles 14 (1), 14 (2), and 14 (3) are stacked is raised. Then, the sensor 110 senses that the motor 110 stops, and the stacking plate 114 stops. In this state, the tile washing system and the tile arrangement system are all stopped, and the system waits until the switch 20a, which is the start of the flowchart in FIG. 29, is pressed, that is, until one mahjong game is completed.
[0057]
When the photo sensor 80 counts the 11 mahjong tiles and the three-tiered tiles 14 (3) are formed on the stacking plate 114, the tile washing system is activated without raising the stacking plate 114. In a standby state until the mahjong game ends with the motor 32 stopped, the motor 110 of the stacking means 100 is driven when the switch 20a is pressed, and the mahjong tiles 14 (1), 14 The stacking plate 114 on which (2) and 14 (3) are loaded rises. Then, the motor 110 may be stopped by the sensor S104 to sense, and the stacked plate 114 may be stopped.
[0058]
As described above, the operation of the automatic mahjong table according to the present embodiment can be performed only by pressing the switch 20a, dropping the mahjong tile from the tile slot 16 into the mahjong table, and pressing the switch 20b. On the top plate, a tile pile 14a with 11 stacked two-tiers and a tile stack 14b with 12 stacked single-tiers can be formed.
[0059]
