Embodiments

[0058] The advantages and effects of the present application can be easily understood by the skilled in the art from the above description of the embodiments of the present application. The present application can also be implemented or applied by other different embodiments, and the details in the description can be modified or changed based on different views and applications without departing from the spirit of the present application.

[0059] As Figure 1A , Figure 1B and Figure 1CThe figure is a structural diagram of the card storage slot 20 of the card arranging machine with the pushing and blocking card head 10 of the present application. Further, the square block entertainment card 30 is a mahjong card or a card nine card, preferably a mahjong card. The card arranging machine is a mahjong machine or a card nine machine, preferably a mahjong machine. The card arranging machine storage slot 20 is divided into two parts, the front part is a ring slot 21, and the rear part is a straight slot 22. The ring slot 21 has a card entering end 211 for entering cards and a card exiting end 212 for exiting cards, and the card entering end 221 of the straight slot 22 is in communication with the tangent line of the card exiting end 212 of the ring slot 21. With the forward direction of the square block entertainment card as the reference datum, the ring slot 21 also contains two sections, one section is the passing section 21a for the square block entertainment card 30 to pass through from the card entering end 211 to the card exiting end 212, and the other section is the non-passing section 21b where the square block entertainment card 30 cannot pass through, and the non-passing section 21b is between the card exiting end 212 and the card entering end 211 according to the running direction of the square block entertainment card 30, and the starting position of the non-passing section 21b is the inner side wall 223 of the straight slot 22. The passing section 21a of the ring slot 21 and the straight slot 22 form the entire advancing channel of the mahjong card. The card arranging machine, for example, a mahjong machine, has a card storage slot 20 and a card lifting plate 41 rotatably hinged at the terminal end of the straight slot 22 of the card storage slot 20. The card lifting plate 41 has a starting end 411, and the starting end 411 of the card lifting plate 41 can be lifted up to the level of the mahjong machine table top, or it can be lowered down to the bottom of the card entering end 221 of the straight slot 22. When the starting end 411 of the card lifting plate 41 is lowered to the bottom of the straight slot 22, the starting end 411 of the card lifting plate 41 coincides with the position of the card entering end 221 of the straight slot 22. That is, when the card lifting plate 41 is lowered, the starting end 411 of the card lifting plate 41 aligns with the card exiting end 212 of the ring slot 21, and the square block entertainment card 30 is pushed onto the card lifting plate 41 under the action of the pushing and blocking card head 10. Since there is a through hole 222 in the inner side wall 223 of the straight slot 22 for the pushing and blocking card head 10 to rotate through, after pushing, the pushing and blocking card head 10 does not need to return to the non-passing section 21b from the passing section 21a to wait for the next square block entertainment card 30 to be pushed down, but can directly pass through the through hole 222 to continue to rotate to the non-passing section 21b. Moreover, when the starting end 411 of the card lifting plate 41 is raised, the card lifting plate 41 sends the square block entertainment card 30 to the level of the mahjong machine table top, and at this time, there is a gap between the starting end 411 of the card lifting plate 41 and the card exiting end 212 of the ring slot 21, so the square block entertainment card 30, for example, a mahjong card, stored in the ring slot 21 is easy to fall from the gap to the lower side of the card lifting plate 41. At this time, the pushing and blocking card head 10 (for example, see the pushing card head 11 or the blocking card head 12 of the pushing and blocking card head 10 described later) in the ring slot 21 stays at the card exiting end to block the next square block entertainment card 30, preventing the next entertainment card 30, for example, a mahjong card, from falling from the gap to the lower side of the card lifting plate 41.

[0060] An inlet 2111 is located on the outer wall of the card-entry end 211 of the annular groove 21, which is just large enough for one square entertainment card 30 to pass through. A guide plate 2112 is provided on the side of the inlet 2111 opposite to the direction of movement of the square entertainment card 30. The guide plate 2112 is located in the groove of the annular groove 21, separating the passage section 21a and the non-passage section 21b, to prevent the square entertainment card 30 from entering the non-passage section 21b. At the same time, a gap is left between the guide plate 2112 and the inner wall of the annular groove 21, allowing the peripheral end of the push-block card head 10 to pass through, so that the push-block card head 10 can rotate normally in the annular groove 21. Meanwhile, the center of the annular groove 21 of the card storage groove 20 is a hollow cavity. A motor is installed in the hollow cavity of the annular groove 21. The center end 103 of the push-block card rod 10 can be connected to the motor drive, so that the push-block card head 10 can rotate on the annular groove 21.

[0061] Continue as Figure 1A As shown, in the first example, the card storage slot 20 has a card-pushing head 10 that can rotate circumferentially within the annular slot 21. When the card-pushing head 10 rotates circumferentially within the annular slot 21, it functions as a card-pushing head. When the card-pushing head 10 is positioned at the card-dispensing end 212 of the annular slot 21, it functions as a card-blocking head. That is, the card-pushing head 10 has different functions depending on its position within the annular slot 21. When the card-pushing head 10 rotates circumferentially within the annular slot 21, it pushes the diamond entertainment cards from the annular slot 21 onto the card-lifting plate 41, thus functioning as a card-pushing head. When the card-pushing head 10 is positioned at the card-dispensing end 212 of the annular slot 21, it blocks the diamond entertainment cards from falling into the gap below the beginning of the card-lifting plate 41, thus functioning as a card-blocking head.

[0062] like Figure 2As shown, the push card head 10 in the first example storage card slot 20 is a straight radial rod. In this example, the push card head 10 is a radial push card head, i.e. it is arranged radially in the annular slot 21. Further, the radial push card head has a rod radial arm 10a and a push head 10b arranged at the circumferential end 101a of the rod radial arm 10a, preferably fixed longitudinally at the lower end of the circumferential end 101a of the rod radial arm 10a. The push head 10b can be fixed at any angle with the rod radial arm 10a, preferably perpendicularly. When the radial push card head rotates circumferentially in the annular slot 21, it is a radial push card head, and when it stops at the card outlet end 212 of the annular slot 21, it is a radial blocking card head. It should be noted that the push card head 10 can be any shape that can rotate circumferentially in the annular slot 21, as long as it can push and block cards. Here, a straight radial push card head is taken as an example for illustration. The radial push card head has a central end 103, through which one end of the radial push card head can be arranged at the center of the annular slot 21, i.e. the radial push card head can rotate circumferentially around the center of the annular slot 21, and at this time the push head 10b rotates circumferentially in the slot of the annular slot 21. Below the central end 103 of the radial push card head is a connecting shaft 104 that can be connected to the motor. The connecting shaft 104 is arranged perpendicularly to the radial push card head. The center of the connecting shaft 104 has a shaft hole that can be fixed to the motor shaft. A better way is to make the shaft hole non-circular to prevent relative rotation between the motor shaft and the connecting shaft 104. For example, the shaft hole can be a D-shaped shaft hole, or other shapes such as a star-shaped shaft hole, a quadrilateral shaft hole, etc. (not shown in the figure). Therefore, the shaft hole of the connecting shaft 104 at the central end 103 of the radial push card head can be fixed to the motor shaft of the motor, thereby controlling the rotation or stop of the radial push card head in the annular slot 21.

[0063] Continue as Figure 1AAs shown, in the first example, since the push-stop head 10b is fixedly connected to the radial arm 10a of the rod, the through hole 222 on the inner wall 223 of the straight groove 22 has a planar through hole through which the radial arm 10a can rotate, and a longitudinal through hole through which the push-stop head 10b can rotate. The shape of the planar through hole and the longitudinal through hole after being integrally formed depends on the shape of the push-stop head 10b and the radial arm 10a after being fixed. Preferably, the push-stop head 10b and the radial arm 10a are fixed perpendicularly, that is, the planar through hole and the longitudinal through hole are set perpendicularly. At this time, the planar through hole and the longitudinal through hole are integrally formed to form an L-shaped through hole. A positioning sensor 213a is also provided on the annular groove 21, and a corresponding sensing element is provided on the push-stop head 10. The positioning sensor 213a and the sensing element can be set in any position. As long as the positioning sensor 213a can detect the sensing element and transmit the information to the motor when the push-stop head 10 rotates or stops rotating, the motor can perform the corresponding action. For example, the positioning sensor can be placed at the bottom of the card-dispensing end 212 of the annular groove 21, and the sensing element can be placed on the push-block head 10b of the push-block head 10. In this example, it is also feasible to place the positioning sensor 213a on the inner sidewall of the card-dispensing end 212 of the annular groove 21 and the sensing element on the radial arm 10a of the push-block head 10. In another embodiment, the motor can be a stepper motor or a servo motor, which can also achieve the positioning of the push-block head at the card-dispensing end of the annular groove.

[0064] like Figures 3A-3C The diagram shows the working principle of the card storage slot 20 in the first example. After a set of diamond entertainment cards 30 is pushed, that is, after the pusher head 10 pushes the diamond entertainment cards 30 onto the card lifting plate 41, the pusher head 10 will retract to the card dispensing end 212 of the annular groove 21. At this time, the positioning sensor 213a on the inner wall of the card dispensing end 212 of the annular groove 21 will detect the sensing element on the radial arm 10a of the pusher head 10 and transmit the information to the motor. The motor will stop rotating, causing the pusher head 10 to stop at the card dispensing end 212 of the annular groove 21. At this time, the pusher head 10 acts as a card blocking head. Continuing as... Figure 3A As shown, after the starting end 411 of the card-raising plate 41 rises and delivers the diamond entertainment cards 30 to a position flush with the table, the card-blocking head blocks the next set of diamond entertainment cards 30, preventing them from falling into the gap below the card-raising plate 41. Continuing as... Figure 3B As shown, when the number of square entertainment cards 30 in the annular groove 21 meets the requirements and the next round of the game is to be started, the square entertainment cards 30 need to be sent to the table. At this time, the beginning end 411 of the card-raising plate 41 will descend to the bottom of the groove at the card-dispensing end 212 of the annular groove 21, and the card-pushing head 10 will rotate through the L-shaped through hole 222 and the non-passage section 21b to the card-entry end 211 of the annular groove 21, instead of returning from the card-dispensing end 212 through the passage section 21a to the non-passage section 21b. Continuing as... Figure 3CAs shown, at this time, the pushing and blocking tile head 10 acts as a pushing tile head, and the pushing tile head continues to rotate along the pass-through section 21a of the annular groove 21 to push the square block entertainment tiles 30 onto the tile lifting plate 41. After all the entertainment tiles 30 are pushed onto the tile lifting plate 41, the pushing tile head retreats to the tile outlet end 212 of the annular groove 21, and the positioning sensor 213a detects the sensing element to transmit information to the motor, and the motor stops rotating. At this time, the pushing and blocking tile head 10 acts as a blocking tile head to block the next pair of square block entertainment tiles 30 in the waiting state from falling into the gap below the tile lifting plate 41.

[0065] As shown in FIG. 1, the pushing and blocking tile head 10 is in the pushing tile head state, and the pushing tile head 101 of the pushing and blocking tile head 10 is in the pass-through section 21a of the annular groove 21 to push the square block entertainment tiles 30 onto the tile lifting plate 41. Figure 1B As shown in FIG. 2, the pushing and blocking tile head 10 is in the blocking tile head state, and the blocking tile head 102 of the pushing and blocking tile head 10 is in the tile outlet end 212 of the annular groove 21 to block the square block entertainment tiles 30 from falling into the gap below the tile lifting plate 41.

[0066] As shown in FIG. 3, the pushing and blocking tile head 10 is in the pushing tile head state, and the pushing tile head 101 of the pushing and blocking tile head 10 is in the pass-through section 21a of the annular groove 21 to push the square block entertainment tiles 30 onto the tile lifting plate 41. Figure 1C As shown in FIG. 4, the pushing and blocking tile head 10 is in the blocking tile head state, and the blocking tile head 102 of the pushing and blocking tile head 10 is in the tile outlet end 212 of the annular groove 21 to block the square block entertainment tiles 30 from falling into the gap below the tile lifting plate 41.

[0067] As shown in FIG. 5, the pushing and blocking tile head 10 is in the pushing tile head state, and the pushing tile head 101 of the pushing and blocking tile head 10 is in the pass-through section 21a of the annular groove 21 to push the square block entertainment tiles 30 onto the tile lifting plate 41. Figure 4A and 4BAs shown, the push card head 10 in the second example card storage groove 20 and the third example card storage groove 20 is a Y-shaped radial push card head. The Y-shaped radial push card head is divided into a push card head 101 and a stop card head 102, wherein the push card head 101 and the stop card head 102 are connected or integrally formed in a Y-shaped structure. It should be noted that the push card head 101 and the stop card head 102 can form any shape after being connected or integrally formed to form the push-stop card head 10, such as a fan-shaped structure or a V-shaped structure, which is taken as an example of a Y-shaped structure here. When the push card head 101 and the stop card head 102 are in a Y-shaped structure, an included angle is formed between the push card head 101 and the stop card head 102. The size of the included angle is not unique, and preferably, the size of the included angle is just enough to satisfy that when the push card head 101 is at the non-passing section 21b of the annular groove 21, the stop card head 102 can just be at the card outlet end 212 of the annular groove 21, that is, it can just block the gap at the card outlet end 212 of the annular groove 21. The Y-shaped push-stop card head 10 has a center end 103, through which the Y-shaped push-stop card head 10 is arranged at the center of the annular groove 21, that is, the push card head 101 and the stop card head 102 are integrally formed on the annular groove 21 through the center end 103. There is also a connecting shaft 104 connected to the motor below the center end 103 of the Y-shaped push-stop card head 10, which is arranged vertically to the push-stop card head 10. The center of the connecting shaft 104 has an axle hole that can fix the motor shaft, and a better way is to make the shape of the axle hole non-circular to prevent relative rotation between the motor shaft and the connecting shaft 104. For example, the shape of the axle hole is a D-shaped axle hole, or other shapes such as a star-shaped axle hole, a quadrilateral axle hole, etc. Therefore, the axle hole of the connecting shaft 104 below the center end 103 of the Y-shaped push-stop card head 10 can be fixed on the motor shaft of the motor, thereby controlling the rotation or stop of the Y-shaped push-stop card head 10 on the annular groove 21.

[0068] In this example, the pusher head 101 has a pusher radial arm 1011 and a pusher head 1012. One end of the pusher radial arm 1011 is fixed to the center end 103 and is radially disposed on the annular groove 21, rotating circumferentially about the center of the annular groove 21. The pusher head 1012 is disposed on the peripheral end 1011a of the pusher radial arm 1011, preferably fixedly disposed at the lower end of the peripheral end 1011a of the pusher radial arm 1011. The pusher head 1012 and the pusher radial arm 1011 can be fixed at any angle, preferably, the pusher head 1012 is fixed perpendicularly to the pusher radial arm 1011. The blocker head 102 has a blocker radial arm 1021 and a blocker head 1022. One end of the blocker radial arm 1021 is also fixed to the center end 103 and is radially disposed on the annular groove 21, rotating circumferentially about the center of the annular groove 21. The stop head 1022 is disposed on the peripheral end 1021a of the radial arm 1021. Preferably, it is fixedly disposed at the lower end of the peripheral end 1021a of the radial arm 1021. The stop head 1022 and the radial arm 1021 can be fixed at any angle. Preferably, the stop head 1022 and the radial arm 1021 are fixed perpendicularly. The push head 101 and the stop head 102 rotate as a single unit. The push head radial arm 1011 and the stop head radial arm 1021 are simultaneously connected at the central end 103 to form a Y-shape. The push head 1012 and the stop head 1022 are located in the groove of the annular groove 21.

[0069] Continue as Figure 1B and Figure 1C As shown, in the second and third examples of the card storage slot 20, since the pusher 1012 is fixedly connected to the pusher radial arm 1011 and the stop 1022 is also fixedly connected to the stop radial arm 1021, the through hole 222 on the inner sidewall 223 of the straight slot 22 has a planar through hole through which the pusher radial arm 1011 and the stop radial arm 1021 can rotate and pass, and a longitudinal through hole through which the pusher 1012 and the stop 1022 can rotate and pass. The shape of the planar through hole and the longitudinal through hole after being integrally formed depends on the shape of the pusher 1012 and the pusher radial arm 1011 and the stop 1022 and the stop radial arm 1021 after being fixed. Preferably, the planar through hole and the longitudinal through hole are integrally formed to form an L-shaped through hole, that is, the planar through hole and the longitudinal through hole are arranged perpendicularly.

[0070] Continue as Figure 1BAs shown, the second example of the card storage slot 20 is provided with a positioning sensor 213b in the annular slot 21, and a corresponding sensing element 105 is provided on the pusher head 10. The positioning sensor 213b and the sensing element 105 can be arranged at any position, as long as the positioning sensor 213b can detect the sensing element 105 and transmit information to the motor to make the motor take corresponding action when the pusher head 10 needs to be rotated or stopped. For example, the positioning sensor 213b is arranged at the bottom of the card outlet end 212 of the annular slot 21, and the sensing element 105 is arranged on the blocking head 1022 of the blocking head 102; or the positioning sensor 213b is arranged on the inner side wall of the card outlet end 212 of the annular slot 21, and the sensing element 105 is arranged on the blocking head radial arm 1021 of the blocking head 102; or the positioning sensor 213b is arranged at the bottom of the non-passing section 21b of the annular slot 21, and the sensing element 105 is arranged on the pusher head 1012 of the pusher head 101; in the present example, the positioning sensor 213b is arranged on the inner side wall of the non-passing section 21b of the annular slot 21, and the sensing element 105 is arranged on the pusher head radial arm 1011 of the pusher head 101.

[0071] As shown in Figure 5A and 5B , it is a schematic diagram of the working principle of the second example of the card storage slot 20. After the push of a set of block entertainment cards 30 is completed, the starting end 411 of the card lifting plate 41 will rise to the level of the table top. At this time, the pusher head 101 will not return to the non-passing section 21b from the card outlet end 212 through the passing section 21a, but will directly pass through the L-shaped through hole to the non-passing section 21b of the annular slot 21, and when the positioning sensor 213b on the inner side wall of the non-passing section 21b detects the sensing element 105 on the pusher head radial arm 1011 of the pusher head 101, it will transmit information to the motor, and the motor will stop rotating. Figure 5A As shown, the pusher head 101 just stops after the guiding plate 2112 of the annular slot 21, which will not affect the next set of block entertainment cards 30 entering the annular slot 21, and at the same time, the blocking head 102 just stops at the card outlet end 212 of the annular slot 21, blocking the next set of block entertainment cards 30, preventing them from falling into the gap below the card lifting plate 41. As shown in Figure 5BAs shown, when the number of square entertainment cards 30 in the annular groove 21 meets the requirements of the entertainment game and the next round of the game can be played, the beginning end 411 of the card-raising plate 41 will descend and align with the card-dispensing end 212 of the annular groove 21. The card-pushing head 101 pushes the entertainment cards 30 forward. At this time, the card-blocking head 102 passes through the L-shaped through hole and rotates together with the card-pushing head 101, and the entertainment cards 30 will be pushed onto the card-raising plate 41. After all the tiles are pushed onto the lifting plate 41, the pushing head 101 continues to rotate through the L-shaped through hole until the positioning sensor 213b set on the non-passage section 21b detects the sensing element 105, and the information is transmitted to the motor. The motor stops rotating. At this time, the pushing head 101 stops in the non-passage section 21b of the annular groove 21, and will not affect the next set of diamond entertainment tiles 30 from entering the annular groove 21. The blocking head 102 stops at the tile outlet end 212 of the annular groove 21 to block the next set of diamond entertainment tiles 30 and prevent it from falling into the gap below the lifting plate 41.

[0072] Continue as Figure 1C As shown, in the third example, the card storage slot 20 is further equipped with a first positioning sensor 213c on the card-feeding end 211 of the annular slot 21, and a second positioning sensor 213d on the non-passing section 21b of the annular slot 21. A corresponding card-pushing sensor 105 is provided on the card-pushing head 101. The first positioning sensor 213c and the second positioning sensor 213d are used to detect the card-pushing sensor 105, thereby positioning the card-pushing head 101. The first positioning sensor 213c, the second positioning sensor 213d, and the card-pushing sensor 105 can be located in any position, as long as the first positioning sensor 213c and the second positioning sensor 213d can detect the card-pushing sensor 105 and transmit the information to the motor so that the motor can perform the corresponding action when it is necessary to push the card head 10 to rotate or stop rotating. For example, the first positioning sensor 213c and the second positioning sensor 213d are disposed at the bottom of the annular groove 21, and the card pushing sensor 105 is disposed on the pusher head 1012 of the card pushing head 101; in this example, the first positioning sensor 213c and the second positioning sensor 213d are disposed on the inner sidewall of the annular groove 21, and the card pushing sensor 105 is disposed on the radial arm 1011 of the pusher head of the card pushing head 101.

[0073] like Figures 6A-6E The diagram shown illustrates the working principle of the card storage slot 20 in the third example. Continuing... Figure 6A As shown, a diamond entertainment card 30 is delivered from the inlet 2111 on the outer wall of the card-feeding end 211 of the annular groove 21 to the lifting assembly 23, at which point the lifting assembly 23 performs a card-stacking action. Continuing as... Figure 6BAs shown, the lifting assembly 23 lowers by the thickness of a tile 30 so that the upper surface of the tile 30 is flush with the bottom of the annular groove 21, at which time a tile 30 is fed and stacked on top of the previous tile 30. After the tiles are stacked, the lifting assembly 23 rises by the thickness of a tile 30 so that the bottom of the first tile 30 is flush with the bottom of the annular groove 21, thereby forming a stack of tiles. The process continues as shown. Figure 6C and Figure 6D As shown, the tile pushing head 101 pushes the stack of tiles forward by the width of a tile 30, at which time the tile pushing sensor 105 below the radial arm 1011 of the pushing head 101 rotates above the first sensor 213c, and the tile blocking head 102 partially penetrates the through hole 222 in the inner wall 223 of the linear groove 22. At this time, after the first sensor 213c detects the tile pushing sensor 105, the first sensor 213c transmits a signal to the motor, which reverses to drive the tile pushing head 101 to retreat to the non-passing section 21b of the annular groove 21. When the tile pushing sensor 105 on the radial arm 1011 of the pushing head 101 rotates above the second sensor 213d, the second sensor 213d detects the tile pushing sensor 105 and transmits a signal to the motor, at which time the motor drives the tile pushing head 101 to stop rotating, and the tile blocking head 102 is just blocked at the tile outlet end 212 of the annular groove 21 to prevent the tiles 30 from falling into the gap below the tile lifting plate 41. At this time, the lifting assembly 23 at the entrance 2111 of the annular groove 21 starts to stack the tiles again, and when a stack of tiles is formed, the tile pushing head 101 pushes the stack of tiles forward by the width of a tile 30, and the tile pushing head 101 retreats above the second sensor 213d. The stack of tiles is repeatedly pushed until the number of tiles 30 in the annular groove 21 meets the requirement, at which time the tile pushing head 101 stops at the non-passing section 21b of the annular groove 21 to wait for a deck of tiles 30 in the annular groove 21 to be fed onto the tile lifting plate 41, and the tile blocking head 102 stops at the tile outlet end 212 of the annular groove 21 to prevent the tiles 30 from falling into the gap below the tile lifting plate 41. It should be noted that the number of stacks of tiles in the annular groove 21 can be counted by the first positioning sensor 213c or the second positioning sensor 213d, for example, the first positioning sensor 213c senses 17, corresponding to 17 stacks of tiles in the annular groove 21, and the number of 17 stacks of tiles is the required number for the game, at which time the tile pushing head 101 stops pushing the stacks of tiles; or the second positioning sensor 213d senses 17, and the tile pushing head 101 stops pushing the tiles. The process continues as shown. Figure 6EAs shown, when the next round of game is to be played, the starting end 411 of the card lifting plate 41 will be lowered and aligned with the card outlet end 212 of the annular groove 21, at this time the card pushing head 101 pushes the entertainment cards 30 forward, at the same time, the card blocking head 102 rotates through the L-shaped through hole together with the card pushing head 101, after the entertainment cards 30 are all pushed onto the card lifting plate 41, the card pushing head 101 will not return to the non-passing section 21b from the card outlet end 212 through the passing end 21a, but continue to rotate through the L-shaped through hole until the second positioning sensor 213d arranged on the non-passing section 21b detects the pushing sensor part 105, at this time, information is transmitted to the motor, the motor stops rotating, and the card pushing head 101 stops in the non-passing section 21b of the annular groove 21, which will not affect the next set of square entertainment cards 30 entering the annular groove 21, and the card blocking head 102 stops at the card outlet end 212 of the annular groove 21 to block the next set of square entertainment cards 30, preventing them from falling into the gap below the card lifting plate 41.

[0074] In another example, the present application also provides an annular card arranging machine card storage groove, the structure of the card storage groove and the card pushing and blocking head 10 is exactly the same as that of the aforementioned annular card arranging machine card storage groove and the card pushing and blocking head 10, when the card pushing and blocking head 10 rotates circumferentially in the annular groove 21 to push the cards, the card pushing and blocking head 10 is a card pushing head; when the card pushing and blocking head 10 stays in the passing section 21a of the annular groove 21 to block the cards (as shown), the card pushing and blocking head 10 is a limiting head. When the card pushing and blocking head 10 is a radial card pushing and blocking head, the radial card pushing and blocking head stays in the passing section 21a of the annular groove 21 to block the cards, the radial card pushing and blocking head is a radial limiting head. For example, when the card arranging machine is turned over to be stored in a vertical state, the well-arranged square entertainment card group needs to be continuously stored in the card arranging machine, the card pushing and blocking head 10 can also stay at the end of the square entertainment card group in the passing section 21a of the annular groove 21, i.e. the card limiting position, which can limit the well-arranged square entertainment card group to prevent it from moving and scattering. Figure 1A

[0075] It should be noted that here "the passing section 21a of the annular groove 21" and "the card outlet end 212 of the annular groove 21" in the aforementioned scheme are two different positions of the annular groove, the card outlet end 212 is downstream of and connected to the passing section 21a of the annular groove 21, and the square entertainment cards rotate and move in the passing section 21a of the annular groove 21 to the card outlet end 212 of the annular groove 21, and then enter the card lifting plate.

[0076] The passing section 21a of the annular groove 21 has at least one card limiting position for the limiting head to stay to limit the movement of the well-arranged square entertainment card group, for example, Figure 1A At this time, the position of the card blocking head 10 is the card limiting position. For different types and sizes of square entertainment cards, the passing section 21a of the annular groove 21 also has multiple discrete card limiting positions. ​

[0077] In order to realize the automatic positioning of the pushing and blocking head 10 at the limit position, the motor is a stepping motor or a servo motor, and the pushing and blocking head 10 can be stopped at the limit position of the passing section 21a of the annular groove 21. In another example, the passing section 21a of the annular groove 21 is provided with a limit sensor, and the pushing and blocking head 10 is provided with a sensing piece. The limit sensor is used to detect the sensing piece to position the limit head. For example, the limit sensor is arranged at the groove bottom of the passing section 21a of the annular groove 21 at the limit position, and the sensing piece is arranged on the limit head of the pushing and blocking head 10. Alternatively, the limit sensor is arranged on the inner side wall of the passing section 21a of the annular groove 21 at the limit position, and the sensing piece is arranged on the radial arm of the pushing and blocking head 10.

[0078] Therefore, the pushing and blocking head 10 of the card storage groove has multiple functions. The first function is to push a group of well-arranged square playing cards from the card inlet end 211 of the annular groove 21. The second function is to stay at the card outlet end 212 of the annular groove 21 to prevent the spare square playing cards from falling from the gap under the card lifting plate. The third function is to stay at the limit position of the passing section 21a of the annular groove 21 to prevent the well-arranged square playing card group from moving and scattering when the card shuffler is stored, and to limit the square playing card group.

[0079] The above embodiments of the present application are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art can make various changes to the present application according to the above description. Therefore, some details in the embodiments should not be considered as a limitation of the present application, and the scope of protection of the present application is defined by the appended claims.
