Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a mahjong device that is equipped with a mixing layer, a dispensing device, an extrusion device, a receiving plate device, and a stacking device, and is capable of stacking two mahjong tiles with high accuracy and lifting them onto a table board.

For example, as a device for stacking mahjong tiles in two levels,
As disclosed in Publication No. 7-74, a guideway for guiding mahjong tiles is provided with a portion that provides a vertical height difference and a portion that causes the mahjong tiles on both sides where the vertical difference has occurred to move sideways closer to each other and overlap one above the other. A similar device has been proposed, but this device provides a vertical difference inside the taxiway, and also moves horizontally to approach and lift it onto the top table board stacked in two tiers, making the taxiway complicated and difficult to manufacture. In addition to being time consuming, the mahjong tile rows may become distorted due to twisting of the guiding path or manufacturing errors, causing jams inside the mahjong tile row, and when the mahjong tile rows stacked in two layers are pushed out, the upper mahjong tiles may fall, resulting in a smooth and accurate process. It was difficult to stack two stacks.

Further, the extrusion means for extruding the mahjong tile rows has to be bent as the mahjong tiles become vertically different, making the structure of the device cumbersome and causing malfunctions.

The present invention provides a mahjong game machine that provides a stacking device at the exit end of the guideway and stacks mahjong tiles in two stages at the exit end, thereby simplifying the structure and enabling accurate and stable two-stage stacking. The purpose is to provide equipment.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

In the figure, the mahjong device 1 includes a mixing layer that mixes and distributes the mahjong tiles 4 that are thrown into the mahjong table 2, a dispensing device 5, the mixing layer,
A pushing device 9 that sends out the mahjong tiles 4 kicked out from the dispensing device 5, and a lifting device 11 shown in FIG. 5 and FIGS.
The pushing device 9 moves the mahjong tiles 4 sent out to the lifting device 11.
In this embodiment, the extrusion device 9 can align the mahjong tiles 4 to be layered into the wall layer 6 and the hand tiles 7.

The mahjong table 2 has a frame 15 placed on supporting legs 14, and a table plate 16 forming a table surface 10 is attached to the upper surface of the frame 15. Further, the table board 16 is provided with an input port 19 for the mahjong tiles 4, and openings 20 and 21 for lifting the wall layer 6 and the hand tiles 7 around the automatic dice rolling device 17 that stores the dice 17a in the center. The input port 19 and the lifting port 20.21 include
They can be covered by cover plates 22 and receiving plates 23 and 24, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 7, the mahjong tile 4 has a rectangular parallelepiped-shaped permanent magnet m that radiates lines of magnetic force perpendicular to the character surface a, for example, and has an N pole on the character surface a side and a reverse side in this embodiment. is S
It is buried so that the poles are exposed.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the mixing layer and dispensing device 5 includes a mixing tool 27 for mixing the mahjong tiles 4, a delivery tool 28 for sequentially sending out the mixed mahjong tiles by aligning them vertically, for example, A front and back alignment tool 29 that aligns the front and back sides of the tiles, a dispensing tool 30 that supplies mahjong tiles 4 one by one to a predetermined number of layer exits 37--, and a dispensing tool 30 that aligns the directions of the dispensed mahjong tables 4. It consists of a kicking tool 31.

The mixing tool 27 is a rotary drum 3 in the shape of a cylinder with an open top.
2, and a side plate 33 that surrounds the rotating drum 32 in a square shape, for example.
A baffle plate 35 protrudes from the inner surface, and a double bracket 36 is attached with its top facing through the through hole 32b around the bottom plate 32a of the rotating drum 32, and allows the mahjong tiles 4 to pass through one by one.
and.

The number of double barrels 36 is greater than, for example, four layer number outlets 37-- corresponding to each nearby position of the mahjong table 2, and preferably an odd number, for example, seven, are arranged at equal angular pitches. will be established.

In addition, the baffle plate 35 has a pin 39 inserted into the inner surface of the side plate 33.
An arm 41 for attaching a soft plate 40 made of synthetic resin, rubber, etc., whose lower end is close to the bottom plate 32a of the rotating drum 32, is tiltably suspended and pivotally connected to the bottom plate 32a of the rotating drum 32. As a result, the tile input slot 19
When the mahjong tiles 4 thrown in are deposited on the bottom plate 32a with the rotation of the rotary drum 32, coupled with the mixing that occurs when they are thrown in, they engage with the baffle plate 35 and are rubbed, and the playback is slightly restrained. The mixture is further mixed and stirred. Moreover, the mixing efficiency can be improved by sequentially and randomly distributing the tiles 4 entering the seven double tubes 36 to the four layer number outlets 37-.

The number of double barrels 36 can be increased to 9, 11, etc. depending on the size of the table surface 10, and by setting an odd number, it is possible to prevent the mahjong tiles 4 from falling into the respective layer number outlets 37 at the same time. ,
Noise is reduced.

The delivery tool 28 includes the double barrel 36 and the double barrel 3.
6, and an elastic member 43 attached to the double barrel 36, as illustrated in FIGS. 3 to 4 and FIG. an inner cylinder 45 provided with an inner hole 45d through which 4 passes only vertically;
It has an outer cylinder 46 that is inserted into the inner cylinder 45, and each wJ45
．． Both 46 are slopes 45 whose upper parts are cut off diagonally.
a, 46a. In addition, the inner cylinder 45 has a flange portion 4 at the lower end.
7 is enlarged, and a horizontal notch groove 49 deep enough to reach the center is carved in the center of the inner cylinder 45.
The outer cylinder 46 is rotatably supported by a bearing 50 mounted above the cylinder 9.

A gear portion 5I is formed below the outer cylinder 46, and a relatively deep horizontal groove 52 is formed above the gear portion 51, extending to both sides centering on the lower end 46b of the slope 46a. The horizontal groove 52 is located at the lower end 45b of the slope 45a of the inner cylinder 45.
However, when the lower ends 45b and 46b face in the same direction, the horizontal groove 52 can face the inner hole 45d of the inner cylinder 45 by assembling the outer cylinder 46 at a lower position than the lower end 46b.

In this embodiment, the elastic member 43 is made of a circular coil spring and is fitted onto the outer periphery of the outer cylinder 46 through the horizontal R52. The elastic member 43 is a coil spring, and the horizontal groove 5
A plate spring piece or an arm piece (both not shown) biased by a spring can be used as long as it is a piece that protrudes into the inside of the spring.

The rotary tool 42 includes a gear 5G pivotally attached to a boss body 55 which is flange-mounted to the center of the lower plate 53 of the frame body 15, a rotary plate 57 fixed to two surfaces of the key 1-56, and the gear 5G. 56 and is attached to the lower surface of the lower plate 53 (consisting of a reduction motor M1), and the rotary plate 57 and the rotary drum 32 are connected using a joint piece 60.

Furthermore, by screwing the flange 47 of the inner cylinder 45 to the rotating Fi57, the double cylinder 36 can revolve integrally with the drive of the reduction motor M1.

Further, an upper fixing plate 62 on which a gear 61 is lazily placed and fixed is screwed to the boss body 55 above the rotary plate 57. Therefore, by meshing the gear 61 with the gear portion 51 at the bottom of the outer cylinder 46, the delivery tool 28 can be moved to the inner wJ45.
revolves together with the rotating drum 32 and the rotating plate 57, and the outer cylinder 46 can rotate around its axis.

As a result, the elastic member 43 has the lower end portion 45b,
In the state shown in FIGS. 11(a) and 11(b) in which the 46b faces in the same direction, the portion 43 of the elastic member 43 passing through the horizontal groove 52
a can protrude into the inner hole 45d, while the lower end portions 45b, 4
In the position shown in FIGS. 9(a) and 9(b) where 6b is on the opposite side, the horizontal groove 52 is covered and the elastic member 43 comes into contact with the outer surface of the inner cylinder 45, completely opening the inner hole 45d. Note that the lower end portion 45b,
For example, when the angle at which 46b is inserted is 45°, the 10th
As shown in Figures (a) and (b), one end 52a of the horizontal 652
The amount of protrusion of the elastic member 43 into the inner hole 45d can change with the rotation of the outer cylinder 46, such as protruding into the inner hole 45d by the length of a line horizontally connecting the outer cylinder 46 and the slope 45a. Note that the top portion 46, c of the outer cylinder 46 slightly protrudes into the rotating drum 32.

Therefore, the delivery tool 28 pushes up the mahjong tiles 4 thrown into the rotating drum 32 by pushing up one end of the mahjong tiles 4 by rotating the top 46c of the outer cylinder 46, and by cooperating with the baffle plate 35, inside the outer cylinder 4G. In addition, the inner hole 45d allows the mahjong tiles 4 to pass only in the vertical direction, so that the tiles 4 can be aligned vertically. Furthermore, as shown in Figures 9(a) and (b),
Even when the lower end of the mahjong tile 4 is locked by the lower end 45b of the inner tube j45 and does not fall, the elastic member 43 periodically protrudes into the inner hole 45d as described above. As a result, the mahjong tiles 4 in the rotary drum 32 are passed through the double barrel 36 and sent out one after another in the same direction without being accumulated.

The dispensing tool 30 is the double tube tool 36 attached to the rotary plate 57.
The tiles 4 falling inside can be fed to, for example, four layer number outlets 37- located on each side of the mahjong table 2. The dispensing tool 30 is
It includes the double barrel 36, a pressing tool 63 attached to the upper fixing plate 62, and a horizontal lower fixing plate 65 located near the lower end of the double barrel 36.

The lower fixing plate 65 is a disc body capable of supporting the lower ends of the mahjong tiles 4 that have fallen inside the double fixture 3G, and is fixed to the lower plate 53 using support pieces 66. Further, the lower fixing plate 65 is provided with an outlet portion 67 by cutting out a position directly above the layer number outlet 37 and allowing the tiles 4 to fall therefrom. Note that downwardly inclined guide pieces 69 are formed at both ends of the outlet portion 67.

As shown in detail in FIG. 4, FIG. 12(a), and FIG. 13, in this embodiment, the pressing tool 63 is made of an elastic material and has a relatively deep cut extending all around the circumference. It consists of a gear-shaped body 70 and a flat plate body 71 having an arcuate portion at its outer end 71a. be done.

The gear-like body 70 protrudes from the outer peripheral edge of the upper fixing plate 62, and the protruding portion 70a is connected to the inner cylinder 4 of the double cylinder fitting 36.
By protruding into the cutout groove 49 formed at 5, the inner hole 454 is blocked at the layer number exit 37 position. Flat plate body 71
is attached at the same height as the gear-shaped body 70 to an arm piece that is free to swing and is connected to the gear-shaped body 70. Incidentally, the flat plate body 71 is attached at a position preceding the gear-like body 70 so as to be able to hold the tiles 4 inside the double barrel 36 advancing toward the layer number outlet 37.

In addition, the flat plate body 71 is urged outward by a hexagonal bolt 72 whose arm piece is inserted into the lower surface of the gear 61, and is stopped by a stopper 73 with its outer end protruding from the outer peripheral edge of the upper fixing plate 62. do. Also, as schematically shown in FIG. 12(a), there is a falling gap between the outer end 71a of the flat plate body 71 and the gear-shaped body 70 adjacent to the flat plate body 71, in which the mahjong tiles 4 can be dropped. 75, while the distance between the lower fixing plate 65 and the pressing tool 63 is set to exceed the vertical length 11 of the mahjong tiles 4.

Therefore, at the initial stage of operation of the rotating drum 32, the mahjong tiles 4 that have first entered the double fixture 36 advance while being held by the gear-shaped body 70 or the flat plate body 71 at the position where the pressing tool 63 is attached, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 14, the pressing tool 63 falls onto the lower fixing plate 65 at the discontinuing falling gap 75, moves on the lower fixing plate 65, and is taken out from the outlet portion 67 to the tile takeout port 37. In addition, the mahjong tiles 4 that continue to fall in the falling gap 75 are pressed by the flat plate 71 that enters from the notch groove 49, and are also gripped by the gear-shaped body 7-0 at the exit portion 67. 65
Therefore, the cough dispenser 30 can be seated on the layer number outlet 37.
Mahjong tiles can be supplied one by one (as shown in Figures 15 and 16)
.

Note that the number of layer number outlets 37 is, for example, four, while the number of
By setting the number of heavy tools 36 to seven, for example, it is possible to distribute the mahjong tiles 4 continuously and quickly. Further, since the gear-shaped body 70 is rotatably supported, it can prevent uneven wear, and since it has tooth-shaped parts, it can firmly and reliably hold the mahjong tiles 4.

The front and back adjustment tool 29 is a magnet body 91 (shown in FIGS. 3-4, FIG. 8, FIGS. 13-14, etc.) provided in the inner @ 45, and fixes the north pole facing inward.

Therefore, the front and back adjustment tool 30 uses the magnetic body 91 to hold the mahjong tiles 4 falling in the falling gap 75, and the back surface of the layer 4 is attracted by b-h< Then, the back side of tile 4 is aligned outward G.

The mahjong tiles 4 aligned by the magnet body 91 are placed in the double barrel 36
15) on the lower fixing plate 65), and the magnetic body 91 allows it to move while maintaining its posture as shown in FIG.
a), f! (shown in Figure S16), while falling from the exit part 67, the upper mahjong tile 4 is moved to the next falling gap 75 as described above.
It is held and transferred by the pressing tool 63 until the end.

As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 18, and FIG. and a guide tool 94 that is installed at the layer number exit 37 and that inverts the mahjong tiles 4 that fall in the vertical direction with the face a facing upward and arranges the tiles 4. The guide tool extends outwardly from the outlet section 67 and extends upwardly toward both ends of the outlet section 67 at its base (having an I'l wall 95 and a north pole at the bottom plate 96).

A cam plate 104, which is pivotally supported by a support piece 103 erected on the lower plate 53 and has a rear end O, is attached to the rotary plate 5.
By colliding with the subordinate cam roller 105, its front end force (swings toward the guide tool 94, while being interlocked by the spring as the cam roller 105 passes,
The front end 8B has a protruding piece 107 that faces toward the edge, and the protruding piece 107 is rotated so that the letter a is inverted to 1 by the magnet 97 on the lower surface of the guiding tool 94. A mahjong tile 4 is advanced from the tile tossing part 99 to the holding part 101 by a length exceeding the vertical length 11 of the mahjong tile 4.

The cam roller 105 is positioned slightly ahead of each double barrel 36, and therefore, immediately after the tiles fall from the double barrel 36, the kicking plate 93 is operated to push out the mahjong tiles 4 as described above.

The extrusion device 9 includes the guide tool 94 which also functions as the push-out tool 32, and the sliding tool 10 attached to the guide tool 94.

Eventually, as shown in FIG. 27, when ten mahjong tiles 4 are pushed out, the single tile feeder 110 is operated by the operation of the microswitch LS2, and the three mahjong tiles 4.4. Among the mahjong tiles 4, only the mahjong tile 4 located at the tip is pushed out to the hand tile guiding path 147 by the fork 121 (as shown in FIG. 28). The outer edge of the fork 121' engages with the guide roller 119 of the receiving piece 116 during reciprocation to prevent the slider 116 from returning and close the outlet portion 67 with the bridging piece 115. The sliding tool 109 is moved by the next row of the single tile feeding tool 110.
moves inward and the kicking tool 31 replenishes one mahjong tile 4, so that the holding part 101 of the guide tool 94 finally has a wall layer as shown in FIG. Two 11 first and second mahjong tile rows A and B are placed on the guide path 146.
A wall layer 6 consisting of a mahjong tile row C is placed on the hand tile guiding path 147, and a hand tile 7 consisting of 12 mahjong tile rows C is placed and waiting.

Next, when the deceleration motor M3 rotates continuously, the extrusion piece 133 moves the first and second mahjong tile rows A and Bt in the wall layer guideway 146 to the curved portion 150 as shown in FIG. By folding at the upper part and the upper straight part 151, the letter "a" is reversed downward and transferred. Note that the mahjong tile rows A and B are adjacent to each other as described above at the exit end 161 of the guideway 112, but there is a vertical difference in level due to the eaves pieces 159 and 160.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 30, the mahjong tile row C of the hand tile guiding path 147 is similarly folded back at the curved portion 150 and the straight portion 151 above.
