Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention is a four-row system that quickly and accurately arranges the tiles sent out from a four-row tile sending device in a fully automatic mahjong table into two stacks. This invention relates to a type two-tiered tile alignment device.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, various devices for stacking and arranging tiles in two tiers have been provided to suit each mahjong table, but these devices have not been reliable in correcting the direction of tiles, stacking them in two tiers, arranging tiles, etc. There are some deficiencies and the current situation remains unresolved.

(Problem to be solved) Therefore, the present invention is a quadruple-type double-stacked tile arrangement that ensures that the tiles are arranged in two-tiered stacks at the same time as the tiles that have been stirred on the rotating plate fall and are sent out from the tile-dispensing device. The purpose is to provide equipment.

(Means for solving the problem) The quadruple-type tile feeding device has a tile feeding stand and a tile holder below. A detection switch is provided, a slope with a rising front part and a step are provided, side walls are formed on both sides of the step, a frame is attached to the side, and a shaft is provided at a constant interval on the side of the frame. It is formed by a separate auxiliary lever that can rotate freely at the top,
The pin that comes into contact with the tip of the auxiliary lever is installed upright on an actuating plate attached to a separately provided chain. The plurality of switches that come into contact with the inclined portion of the operating piece include a tile fixed position stop switch in the center that stops the tiles at a fixed position, and a tile fixed position stop switch at the right end that sends out the tiles stacked in two stages on the alignment table. A feed-out switch and a double-stacked tile counting switch are installed on the left end to count the tiles stacked in two levels, and the tile fixed position stop switch and tile send-out switch are used to align the tiles that have fallen into the tile passage port on the tile feeding stand. The tile sending switch and the two-tiered tile counting switch are installed at a distance sufficient to allow the tiles to fall to the table, and the two-tiered tile counting switch is located at a distance sufficient to send out the tiles stacked in two tiers on the sorting table by the pushing arm of the actuating plate. , the double stacked tile counting switch and the tile fixed position stop switch are installed at a distance sufficient to return the double stacked tiles to the cutoff time after sending them out, and are located approximately in front of the tile fixed position stop switch. When the operating plate is detected by the tile detection switch in the tile passage opening, it is moved by the driving means, and the pin provided upright on the operating plate rotates the two-pronged lever via the auxiliary lever and fits into the sliding hole. When the pin slides, the tile feeding table slides forward, and the tile feeding device repeats the action of dropping the tiles in the tile passage opening onto the sorting table, and when the driving means is reversed, the tiles stacked in two levels on the sorting table are ,
This is a quadruple stacked two-tiered tile arrangement device in a fully automatic mahjong table, which has a mechanism in which the action of transferring the two-tiered tiles is carried out in conjunction with the push arm of a slide plate vertically installed on the operating plate.

(Function) The function of the quadruple-type double-stacked tile alignment device in the fully automatic mahjong table of the present invention configured as described above is that the first tile passes through the tile passage opening of the tile feed stand, and the tile detection switch is activated. When detected, it begins to move to the right by the drive means, and when the actuating plate attached to the chain moves, the vertical pin moves through the auxiliary lever and the two-pronged lever rotates.
When the pin slides through the sliding hole, the tile feed table slides forward for a long time from the tile holder, and the tiles in the tile passage hole fall onto the alignment table due to the slope of the tier. Repeatedly, the tiles stacked in two stacks on the sorting table are moved to the left by the reversal of the driving means, and the two stacked tiles on the sorting table are pushed upwards by the pusher arm of the slide plate vertically attached to the actuating plate attached to the chain. The technical problem was solved by creating a mechanism that linked the sending action to the

(Example) Hereinafter, the four-barrel two-tier stacking alignment device of the present invention will be explained in detail based on the drawings. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of one of the four-barrel two-tier stacking alignment device of the present invention; 1 is a tile feeding stand with a tile passing port 3 at the top

A tile holder 6 is installed at the bottom of the tile feeder 1, and a tile detection switch S (hereinafter abbreviated as switch S) is attached to the upper part, and a frame 7 is attached to the side.
An arm frame 7' is attached so that the tip of the frame 7 is flush with the top surface of the tile feeding table 1, and a sliding hole 8 is provided in the tip.

Further, a shaft 14 is provided at a constant interval on the side of the frame 7, a two-pronged lever 11 is attached to this shaft 14, and a pin 13 is attached to the tip of one arm of this two-pronged lever 11. , a pin 12 is attached to the intermediate portion.

The pin 13 is fitted into an elongated sliding hole 4 formed in the arm frame 2 of the tile feeder 1, and the pin 12 is inserted into the tile holder 6.
are fitted into the respective sliding holes 8 of the arm frame 7'.

The two-pronged lever 11 is rotatable, but the other arm is pulled by a coil spring 19 via a pin 19', and a separate auxiliary lever 11' is connected to the shaft 14 via a hinge spring 15 at the top. It is attached so as to be rotatable, and the distal end is attached so as to be locked by a pin 17 of an actuating plate 16 attached to two chains 18 (upper and lower chains not shown) separately provided. There is.

Reference numeral 24 denotes an actuating piece with a sloped portion 25 on the front side of the actuating plate 16.
is fixed to the actuating plate 16, and each detection switch
S ₁ , S ₂ , and S ₃ are brought into contact with each other by the inclined portion 25 .

Reference numeral 26 denotes a slide plate which is vertically disposed on the actuating plate 16, and has a push arm 16' disposed horizontally.

A tier 9 having an inclined surface 10 is provided at the front of the tile holder 6 of the tile dispensing device so that the tiles sent out are stacked in two tiers with the surface facing downward.
It is formed by side walls 6' on both sides.

In addition, since the operation of the tile feeding device and the operation of arranging tiles in two stacks are performed in conjunction with each other in front of the operation plate 16,
As shown in Figure 4, each detection switch S ₁ S ₂ , S ₃ is fixed at a predetermined interval and is installed in one of the four tile alignment devices.
S ₁ , S ₂ , and S ₃ are fixed in this order.The respective detection switches and installation intervals will be explained below.The two-level stacked tile counting switch (hereinafter abbreviated as switch _S1 ) This is a switch that counts.

The tile fixed position stop switch (hereinafter abbreviated as switch _S2 ) is a switch that stops the tiles in a fixed position.

The tile sending switch (hereinafter abbreviated as switch _S3 ) is a switch that sends out the tiles stacked in two levels on the sorting table.

The installation interval of each of the detection switches is as follows: First, the installation interval of switch S ₂ and switch S ₃ is such that when the actuating plate 16 is located approximately in front of switch S ₂ and the switch S detects the first tile, the chain motor (not shown) figure)
is driven (rightward) and the chain 18 moves, the pin 17 set up on the actuating plate 16 rotates the two-pronged lever 11' via the auxiliary lever 11', and the pin 13 in the sliding hole 4 slides. , the tile feeding stand 1 slides forward. That is, the distance between the switch S ₂ and the switch S ₃ is sufficient to cause the tiles that have fallen into the tile passage port 3 to fall to the alignment table 22.

In addition, the installation interval between switch S ₃ and switch S ₁ is the interval between the operations for sending out the tiles stacked in two levels on the sorting table 22 through the series of operations described above, and when the tile feeding table 1 moves back and forth twice, the operating plate 16 It is located at switch _S3 , moves to the left by the reverse drive of the chain motor, passes switch _S2 , and moves to the switch _S1 position. Therefore, the two-tier stacked tiles move to a stopper (not shown), the two-tier stacked tiles are stopped on the alignment table 22, and the operation is repeated up to 16 times thereafter. That is, the tiles stacked in two stages on the alignment table are pushed by the push arm 1 of the actuating plate 16.
6' is a sufficient distance to send it out.

Also, the installation interval between switch S ₁ and switch S ₂ is such that the tiles stacked in two levels on the sorting table are
6', and after stopping the double-stacked tiles with the stopper of the sorting table 22, the interval is such that it returns to the position of switch S ₂ because it becomes the initial operation, and it returns because it performs 16 feeding operations. However, at the 17th time, the actuating plate 16 stops at the switch _S1 position and the double stacking operation ends. That is, after sending out the two stacked tiles, the distance is sufficient to return to the initial operation.

With the above structure, next we will explain how the tiles are actually arranged in two stacks.As mentioned earlier, this invention is a quadruple system, and the four devices operate in the same way. , the operation of one unit will be explained.

First, the actuating plate 16 is located and stopped at the switch _S2 position, and the tiles that have fallen vertically from the stirring device pass through the tile passage port 3 on the tile holder 6 of each tile sending device.
When a tile passes and is detected by switch S, the chain motor is driven, and when the chain 18 begins to move to the right (toward the drawing), switch S ₂ is activated.
A pin 17 is installed on the actuating plate 16 from near the middle of _S3 .
As the two-pronged lever 11 rotates via the auxiliary lever 11' and the pin 13 slides through the sliding hole 4, the tile feeder 1 slides forward longer than the tile holder 6, causing the vertical The first tile dropped onto the alignment table 22 by the inclined surface 10 of the step 9, and when the tile feeding table 1 moves back and forth once, the actuating plate located at the switch _S3 is moved. 16 is returned to the position of switch _S2 by the reverse drive of the chain motor and stops, and when the second tile passes through the tile passing port 3 of the tile feed stand 1 and is detected by the switch S, the above series of operations is repeated, The actuating plate 16, which was located at switch _S3 , moves to the left (toward the drawing) by the reverse drive of the chain motor, and the actuating plate 16 passes through switch _S2. Then, when moving to switch S ₁ , the push arm 16 of the actuating plate 16 sends out the double-stacked tiles to the stopper of the sorting table 22 , and then the actuating plate 16 moves from the switch S ₁ to the switch S ₂ position. After that, the operation is repeated 16 times, and on the 17th time, it is stopped at the position where it was sent from switch S ₃ to switch S ₁ , and completed by arranging it in two stacks on the alignment table.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, the present invention is a groundbreaking technology that uses four alignment devices to reliably stack the tiles sent out from the tile feeding device into two stacks in a short time and with less noise. This is a four-stage two-tier stacking tile alignment device.
