[0023] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to this embodiment as needed, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.

[0025] This embodiment relates to an automatic card dealing machine, such as Figure 1 As shown, the card dealing machine includes a rotating assembly 2 arranged at the bottom and a card dealing assembly 1 arranged on the rotating assembly 2. The rotating assembly 2 can drive the card dealing assembly 1 to rotate along its own center line, so that the card dealing assembly 1 deals cards in all directions.

[0026] Preferably, the side of the card bin 11 is a frame having three sides and an opening that replaces the fourth side, thereby providing the card bin 11 with an opening on the side that cooperates with the card placement opening provided at the top of the card bin 11, thereby facilitating the card placement and removal process. Furthermore, since one side of the card bin 11 is removed, the long sides of the cards placed in the card bin 11 can extend beyond the card bin 11, thus accommodating some commonly used playing cards of different sizes on the market to be placed in the card bin 11 for dealing.

[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it should be supplemented that a card outlet 113 is opened at the bottom of one of the sides of the frame, and the card outlet 113 is located exactly on the top of the base 21. A card dealing wheel 13 and a rolling rod 131 that rotates in the opposite direction to the card dealing wheel 13 are provided on the card outlet 113. The meshing parts of the two form a meshing portion, so that the cards contacting the meshing portion can be delivered from the card bin 11 to the card outlet 113, thereby completing a single card delivery.

[0028] like Figure 6 As shown, the mounting seat and the frame are integrally formed, and a support frame 8 is provided in the frame and the mounting seat. The card-dealing wheel 13 is provided on the support frame 8 close to the mounting seat, and a rolling rod 131 that rotates in the opposite direction to the card-dealing wheel 13 is provided in the frame. The rolling rod 131 rotates when it contacts the card-dealing wheel 13, and the two rotate by contacting each other through the rotating surfaces, which can increase the friction between the cards and the card-dealing wheel 13 and reduce the probability of slipping without increasing the resistance of the card-dealing wheel 13. A spring is provided on the top of the rolling rod 131, the main function of which is to offset the uncertainty of the thickness and surface state of the cards and achieve smooth and uniform card delivery.

[0029] It should be added that a mounting seat is provided on the bottom surface of the card bin 11, and the top of the mounting seat is used to receive the cards. A card feeding wheel 12 is provided at the position where the mounting seat contacts the cards. The card feeding wheel 12 can deliver the cards placed on the mounting seat to the card dealing wheel 13.

[0030] It should be added that the card feeding wheel 12 and the card dealing wheel 13 share an output motor 5, which is a dual-axis motor. One axis of the dual-axis motor is connected to a gear set 6, and the gear set 6 drives the card feeding wheel 12 to rotate; the other axis of the dual-axis motor is connected to a transmission chain 7, and the transmission chain 7 drives the card dealing wheel 13 to rotate, so that one output motor 5 can drive the card dealing wheel 13 and the card feeding wheel 12 to transmit at the same time, and the functions of feeding and dealing cards are realized by a single motor, so that the internal structure design of the frame and the mounting base is compact and easy to install, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the volume and being easy to carry.

[0031] In this embodiment, the gear set 6 , the dual-axis motor and the transmission chain 7 are all assembled on the support frame 8 .

[0032] Preferably, a control circuit board 3 is also provided inside the mounting base, and an operation panel 16 is provided on the top of the card bin 11. The operation panel 16 can control the rotation angle and speed of the rotating component 2, the card dealing speed of the card dealing component 1, and the opening or closing of the entire card dealing machine. A plurality of buttons are provided on the operation panel 16, and the above functions are realized by operating the buttons.

[0033] It should be noted that a PCB board 161 is provided on the back of the operation panel 16, and the control circuit board 3 is electrically connected to the PCB board 161, and the dual-axis motor is electrically connected to the control circuit board 3. A battery 4 is also provided inside the mounting base and electrically connected to the control circuit board 3. A charging port 15 is provided outside the mounting base and electrically connected to the control circuit board 3, so that the battery 4 can be charged, achieving long-term independence from external power supply.

[0034] In this embodiment, the charging port 15 is a Type-C charging port 15 , and in other embodiments it may be a Micro USB port or a Lightning port.

[0035] Preferably, the bottom surface of the card bin 11 is also the top of the mounting seat. A pad 112 is provided on the bottom surface of the card bin 11. The pad 112 is protrudingly provided on the bottom surface of the card bin 11. The height of the pad 112 is equal to the height of the card feeding wheel 12 extending out of the mounting seat. A taking slot 111 is also provided at the opening of the frame. The taking slot 111 is provided in the shape of a notch at the top of the mounting seat. The taking slot 111 facilitates the user to take the cards in the card bin 11.

[0036] Preferably, a card pressing rod 14 is installed on the top of the card bin 11. The card pressing rod 14 is tilted, with one end connected to the top of the card bin 11 and the other end tilted downward toward the center of the card bin 11. The end connected to the card bin 11 can allow the card pressing rod 14 to rotate close to or away from the center of the card bin 11. The card pressing rod 14 can use gravity to exert downward pressure to increase the friction between the cards and the card feeding wheel 12, so that the card feeding wheel 12 can smoothly push the cards into the meshing part of the card dealing wheel 13 and the rolling rod 131.

[0037] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a base 21 is provided on the rotating component 2, and the base 21 is provided at the bottom of the mounting base. A reduction motor 23 with an output shaft extending into the base 21 is also provided in the mounting base. A rotating disk 22 is provided in the base 21 and is transmission-connected to the output shaft of the reduction motor 23. A transmission rod 221 assembled with the rotating disk 22 is provided on the center line of the bottom of the mounting base. When the reduction motor 23 drives the rotating disk 22 to rotate, the rotating disk 22 drives the transmission rod 221 to rotate, thereby driving the card dealing component 1 to rotate along the center line.

[0038] It should be added that the rotating disk 22 in this scheme is a one-way bearing 222 and a bearing driven wheel 223 sleeved on the outer ring of the one-way bearing 222, the transmission rod 221 is assembled in the inner ring of the one-way bearing 222, the bearing driven wheel 223 is connected to the output shaft of the reduction motor 23, and a reset member 271 is provided at the bottom of the rotating disk 22. The reset member 271 allows the bearing driven wheel 223 to return to the original angle after rotating a certain angle, so that the bearing driven wheel 223 drives the one-way bearing 222 to rotate intermittently, and the one-way bearing 222 drives the transmission rod 221 to rotate intermittently, and the transmission rod 221 drives the card dealing component 1 on the mounting seat to rotate intermittently.

[0039] It should be added that the inner ring of the one-way bearing 222 remains stationary when the bearing driven wheel 223 on the outer ring rotates with the reduction motor 23, and is driven to rotate by the bearing driven wheel 223 when it retreats, and the reduction motor 23 can rotate intermittently, so that the above steps can be realized.

[0040] In this embodiment, an output gear 231 is provided on the output shaft of the reduction motor 23, and teeth are provided on the side of the bearing driven wheel 223. The bearing driven wheel 223 and the output gear 231 are located on the same horizontal plane and are both placed horizontally. The bearing driven wheel 223 and the output gear 231 are transmitted through a belt 224.

[0041] In the implementation of this city, the reset member 271 is arranged in a spring groove opened at the bottom of the bearing driven wheel 223. The spring groove is arranged in an arc shape. The reset member 271 is two springs arranged at the starting end and the end end of the spring groove, and a limit rod 27 is arranged between the two springs. The limit rod 27 is not fixed to the spring groove. The limit rod 27 is fixedly assembled with the base 21. The limit rod 27 is pressed by the two springs, so that after the bearing driven wheel 223 rotates forward or reverse for a certain angle, a spring will be compressed. When the reduction motor 23 stops, the reset force generated by the compressed spring will drive the bearing driven wheel 223 to retreat, thereby allowing the one-way bearing 222 to achieve intermittent rotation.

[0042] It should be added that when the rotating assembly is started or stopped suddenly, if the reset member 271 is not provided, the entire device will shake and shift. After the reset member 271 is installed, the shaking and shifting of the product are solved, thereby ensuring that the cards can be accurately distributed.

[0043] Track rods 261 are installed at the bottom of the rotating disk 22. Track rods 261 extend into track holes 26 in the inner bottom surface of the base 21. Track holes 26 are used to limit the rotation angle of the bearing driven pulley 223 to which the track rods 261 are installed. Three sets of track holes 26 and track rods 261 are provided, evenly distributed circumferentially between the bearing driven pulley 223 and the inner bottom surface of the base 21.

[0044] Preferably, a plurality of sensing sheets 25 are provided on the inner periphery of the base 21, and a rotation sensor 24 for sensing the sensing sheets 25 is provided on the mounting seat. The rotation sensor 24 cooperates with the sensing sheets 25 to locate the card dealing direction of the card dealing component 1. When the rotating component 2 is working, an induction relationship is formed between the eight sensing sheets 25 and the rotation sensor 24, so that the rotating component 2 has eight fixed-point rotation positioning, thereby achieving the purpose of dealing cards at a designated position.

[0045] In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the base 21 is provided with foam 211, so as to reduce the vibration generated by the card dealing and rotation process of the card dealing machine.

[0046] The above is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention and is not intended to limit it. Other modifications or equivalent substitutions made to the technical solution of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
