Description
Mahjong tile storage assembly of mahjong machine and mahjong machine Technical Field The invention belongs to the technical field of mahjong machines, and particularly relates to a mahjong machine and a mahjong storage assembly thereof. Background The mahjong pieces storage channels adopted in the rotary wing mahjong machine are arc-shaped and bent, the bending angle is large, and in the process of feeding the mahjong pieces (namely, the mahjong pieces stored in the mahjong pieces storage channels are pushed to the mahjong pieces lifting plate by the mahjong pieces pushing heads), the mahjong pieces can be continuously changed in the mahjong pieces storage channels, and large friction force exists between the mahjong pieces and the bottom surface and the side walls of the mahjong pieces storage channels, so that the torque of the mahjong pieces feeding motor is required. Meanwhile, in the process that the stacking and pushing assembly 200 of the mahjong machine pushes mahjong tiles or piers into the tile storage channel one by one, as the mahjong tile queues in the tile storage channel are prolonged, the tile pushing resistance of the stacking and pushing assembly 200 is gradually increased, and the torque of the stacking and pushing motor is also required to be higher. In order to reduce the resistance of the card-holding channel to the application of the tiles to the tiles, a number of solutions have been developed in the prior art. For example, the Chinese patent with publication number CN217246672U sets side patches and bottom patches in the mahjong tile storage channel, and ribs are arranged on the side patches and the bottom patches in a protruding mode, so that the contact area between mahjong tiles and the inner side and the bottom surface of the mahjong tile storage channel is reduced. In addition, as in CN116785681A, CN219110816U and CN223220941U, a tile feeding turntable is arranged in the center of the tile storage channel, and the tile feeding pusher is directly arranged on the tile feeding turntable, when the tile is fed, the tile feeding turntable also rotates, so that the inner side of the tile storage channel can not generate resistance to the movement of the mahjong tile, but the resistance applied on the mahjong tile by the bottom surface and the outer side (especially the bottom surface) of the tile storage channel still exists. Although the above measures can reduce the tile loading resistance of the mahjong tile queue in the tile storage channel to a certain extent, the tile loading resistance of the mahjong tile mainly comes from the bottom surface of the tile storage channel, and the tile loading resistance is unavoidable as long as the mahjong tile moves relative to the bottom surface of the tile storage channel, and after the mahjong tile is used for a long time, the friction force (especially the friction force between the mahjong tile and the bottom surface of the tile storage channel) of the mahjong tile in the tile storage channel is abnormally increased by stains (coming from the table top and players) stained on the surface of the mahjong tile. Disclosure of Invention The invention aims to provide a mahjong machine and a mahjong storage assembly thereof, which can obviously reduce the tile loading resistance of mahjong tiles in the mahjong storage assembly. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following technical scheme: The invention provides a mahjong machine tile storage assembly, which comprises a tile storage base, wherein a closed or non-closed path is formed on the tile storage base, and a shoe is arranged on the path; The card storage base is also provided with a card inlet and a card outlet which are positioned on different positions of the path, a shoe positioned between the card inlet and the card outlet is used for storing cards, and the shoe is driven by the driving unit to move between the card inlet and the card outlet along the path. The invention extends a path for the shoe to move on the existing tile storage channel (namely, the area between the tile inlet and the tile outlet), the mahjong tiles or tile piers are stored on the shoe, and the movement of the mahjong tiles or tile piers relative to the tile storage channel is converted into the movement of the shoe relative to the tile storage channel. When the shoe moves along the path, on one hand, the moving shoe can send mahjong tiles or piers to the tile outlet one by one from the tile inlet, so that the mahjong tiles or piers are prevented from being piled up at the tile inlet, the tile pushing pressure of the upstream piling and pushing assembly is reduced, the mahjong tiles or piers and the shoe are basically in a relatively static state, no matter the mahjong tiles are clean or stained, the movement of the shoe is not influenced, the resistance is not additionally increased, on the other hand, the moving shoe automatically gathers all the mahjong tiles or piers into a ma
