Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field]

This invention pushes the tiles one by one onto the waiting table,
In the process of forming two stacks of castle wall tiles on the waiting stand,
This invention relates to a standby stand device for an automatic mahjong table that is improved to prevent tiles from falling sideways.

[Conventional technology]

The automatic mahjong table corrects the posture of all the tiles stirred on the turntable to the face-down state, pushes these face-down tiles onto the standby table, and forms two stacks of castle wall tiles on the standby stand. (See Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 108582/1982). That is, as shown in FIG. 2, tiles P are sequentially transferred from a turntable (not shown) by a transfer conveyor 1.
is housed in a rotating basket 2 for posture correction, which is supported by a rotating shaft 3 and can be rotated in forward and reverse directions, and is corrected into a face-down state. Tile P corrected to face down state
The tiles are pushed out by a push rod 4 that is movable forward and backward, and are sequentially fed onto a standby table 5 to form a two-tier stack of castle wall tiles.The standby stand 5 can be raised and lowered with respect to the rotating basket 2. It is installed in

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

When tiles are pushed out from the rotating basket for posture correction onto the standby table, if the standby table is wet due to the pushing speed of the tiles by the push rod, the level difference between the rotating basket and the standby table, or moisture. The pushed out tiles may fall sideways on the waiting table,
In particular, if there is a gap between the first row of tiles during the process of pushing out the second row of tiles onto the first row of tiles, the tiles will get caught in the gap a and fall sideways, as shown in Figure 3. This often happened, and there was a problem that it was not possible to form two stacked castle wall tiles in an orderly manner.

[Means to solve the problem]

This invention solves the above problems, and
The purpose of this is to lightly press the top of the tiles that have been pushed out from the rotating basket for posture correction onto the standby table.
To provide a standby stand device for an automatic mahjong table which is improved so as to prevent tiles from falling sideways. Therefore, the above-mentioned object of the present invention is to provide a standby stand for arranging the tiles pushed out from the rotating basket in close proximity to the tile delivery port side of the rotating basket for correcting the posture of the transferred tiles to a face-down state. In the standby device for an automatic mahjong table, which is installed in a manner that can be raised and lowered, the tiles pushed out onto the standby stand can be pressed from above at the position where they were pushed out, on the tile feeding section side of the rotating basket. This is achieved by an automatic mahjong table standby device configured with a presser plate.

【Example】

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. A rotating basket 2 installed at the tip of a conveyor 1 for transporting tiles P is supported by a rotating shaft 3, and its rotation in forward and reverse directions is controlled. The rotating basket 2 is attached with a push rod 4 that moves forward and backward toward the tile delivery section 2a of the rotating basket 2, and the forward movement of the push rod 4 causes the tiles stored in the rotating basket 2 to be pushed out. P is pushed out towards the standby table 5 which is arranged to be movable up and down. On the tile sending part 2a side of the rotating basket 2,
A presser plate 6 is provided on the starting end portion 5a of the standby table 5 and is placed in an inclined state toward the front end. The end 6a lightly presses the top surface of the tile P pushed out from the rotating basket 2 onto the standby stand 5, thereby preventing the tile P from falling sideways. The press plate 6 is formed of a flexible plate made of rubber or the like, and has a free end 6a that comes into contact with the top surface of the tile P to prevent the tile P from falling. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, when the standby table 5 is lowered and there is a gap a in the first row of tiles that have been completely arranged on the standby table 5, the tiles on the first row of tiles are The tile P that has been pushed out is about to fall laterally. The tiles P that are about to fall are pressed down on the upper side by the presser plate 6 and move forward, preventing them from falling sideways and moving in a normal posture as shown by the imaginary line in the figure, forming two stacked castle wall tiles in an orderly manner. It will be possible.

[Effect of the idea]

The present invention is as described above, and can completely eliminate the problem of the tiles being out of alignment on the standby table, and is extremely effective in orderly forming two-tiered castle wall tiles. Its practical value is that it only requires placing the holding plate facing the tile extrusion path, and that it can be easily applied to the conventional lifting platform device without requiring any special modification. It is extremely large.
