[0034] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solutions of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0035] like Figure 1 — Figure 14 As shown, a circulating shuffling machine of the present invention includes a base 100, a first shuffling body 200, a second shuffling body 300, a hinge 400, and a driving member 500.

[0036] The first shuffling body 200 is provided on the base 100 and can be raised and lowered relative to the base 100. There are two second shuffling bodies 300, both of which are provided on the base 100 and can be raised and lowered synchronously relative to the base 100. The two second shuffling bodies 300 are respectively located on both sides of the first shuffling body 200. The base 100 is provided with the same number of hinges 400 as the number of the second shuffling bodies 300. Each of the second shuffling bodies 300 is hinged to the first shuffling body 200 via a hinge 400. The cards in the first shuffling body 200 can be transferred to the two second shuffling bodies 300. In the second shuffling body 300, the cards in the two second shuffling bodies 300 can be transferred to the first shuffling body 200 at the same time; there are two driving members 500, both of which are arranged on the base 100, and each driving member 500 can simultaneously drive the adjacent second shuffling body 300 and the first shuffling body 200 to rise and fall relative to the base 100. The movement directions of the first shuffling body and the second shuffling body are opposite. When shuffling, people need to operate the two driving members 500 at the same time. The driving member 500 will drive the first shuffling body 200 to rise relative to the base 100, and at the same time, the driving member 500 will also drive the corresponding second shuffling body 300 to fall and fall. During this process, the hinge 400 will rotate relative to the base 100 to ensure that the first shuffling body 200 and the second shuffling body 300 can move in opposite directions, and the relative distance between the first shuffling body 200 and the second shuffling body 300 can be accurately controlled. When the first shuffling body 200 moves to the designated position, that is, when the second shuffling body 300 descends to the designated position, the two driving members 500 will stop running at the same time. In this way, people can place the cards on the first shuffling body 200. After that, the first shuffling body 200 will transfer the cards inside it to the two first shuffling bodies 200 respectively. After that, the driving member 500 will stop running. After the two second shuffling bodies 300 have been lifted up, the two second shuffling bodies 300 will alternately gather the cards inside them into the first shuffling body 200, thus completing the first shuffling. When all the cards in the two second shuffling bodies 300 have been gathered into the first shuffling body 200, the driving member 500 will again drive the first shuffling body 200 to rise, and at the same time drive the second shuffling bodies 300 to fall. Then, the above-mentioned actions are repeated to complete multiple shuffling of the cards.

[0037] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 7 — Figure 8As shown, the hinge 400 includes a support column 410 provided on the base 100, each support column 410 is hinged with a connecting rod 420, wherein one end of the connecting rod 420 is slidably connected to the adjacent second shuffling body 300, and the other end of the connecting rod 420 is slidably connected to the first shuffling body 200, each of the second shuffling bodies 300 includes a second box body 310, and a second slide groove 311 is provided on the outer surface of the second box body 310, and each end of the connecting rod 420 is provided with an end column 420. 1. Each end post 421 is provided with an anti-slip ring 422. One end post 421 passes through the second slide groove 311. The anti-slip ring 422 on the end post 421 is located inside the second box body 310. The end post 421 can slide in the second slide groove 311. The first shuffling body 200 includes a first box body 210. The outer surface of the second box body 310 is provided with a first slide groove 211. The end post 421 of the connecting rod 420 away from the second shuffling body 300 passes through the second slide groove 311. The end column 421 can slide in the first slide groove 211, and the anti-slip ring 422 on the end column 421 is located inside the first box body 210. When the first box body 210 rises and the second box body 310 falls, or the second box body 310 rises and the first box body 210 falls, the first box body 210 is hinged to the connecting rod 420 through one of the end columns 421, and the second box body 310 is hinged to the connecting rod 420 through the other end. In this way, the connecting rod 420 will rotate relative to the support column 410. To ensure that the first box body 210 and the second box body 310 hinged by the same connecting rod 420 can only move in opposite directions, during this process, one end column 421 will slide in the first slide groove 211, and the other end column 421 will move in the second slide groove 311 to avoid stress between the end column 421 and the first box body 210, and also to avoid stress between the end column 421 and the second box body 310, that is, to enable the first box body 210 and the second box body 310 to be raised and lowered smoothly.

[0038] The driving member 500 includes a motor 510 and a belt 520 mounted on the base 100. One end of the belt 520 is connected to the bottom of the first shuffling body 200, and the other end is connected to the bottom of the second shuffling body 300. The motor 510 is provided with a driving wheel 511, which is located directly below the adjacent second shuffling body 300. The base 100 is provided with a guide wheel 530 located directly below the first shuffling body 200. The belt 520 passes around the driving wheel 511 and the guide wheel 530. During operation, the motor 510 drives the driving wheel 511 to rotate, and the driving wheel 511 drives the belt 520 to rotate accordingly, so that the belt 520 can drive the first shuffling body 200 to rise and fall relative to the base 100, and can also simultaneously lift and fall the second shuffling body 300 relative to the base 100.

[0039] like Figure 2 — Figure 6 、 Figure 8 and Figure 13 As shown, at least two second inclined surfaces 312 are provided on one side of the interior of the second box body 310, and the bottom of the side is provided with a boss 313 with the same number as the second inclined surfaces 312, and the top of the side is also provided with an anti-slip sheet 314; a pad 315 is provided on the bottom surface of the interior of the second box body 310, and a second baffle 320 is movably installed on the other side of the interior of the second box body 310. When the playing cards fly from the first box body 210 to the second box body 310, the playing cards are close to the side of the second inclined surface 312. The second bevel 312 will come into contact with the card first and hit the second bevel 312. Since the second bevel 312 and the side of the second box body 310 away from the second baffle 320 form an acute angle, the side of the card close to the second bevel 312 will be guided by the second bevel 312 and tilted. That is, the side of the card in contact with the second bevel 312 will be higher than the side of the card away from the second bevel 312. After that, the card will fall into the second box body 310 under the action of gravity. The second card 312 is provided with a protruding portion 314, which prevents the first card from being ejected from the second box body 310 and the second card from being ejected from the second box body 310. , thereby ensuring that the playing cards can smoothly fall into the second box body 310; further, the second box body 310 and the first box body 210 are both rectangular frames, so that the bottom surface of the second box body 310 is perpendicular to each side surface of the second box body 310, and the bottom surface of the first box body 210 is perpendicular to each side surface of the first box body 210. In this way, when the playing card flies out from the bottom surface of the first box body 210, the playing card is always parallel to the bottom surface of the second box body 310 and smoothly hits the second inclined surface 312.

[0040] A second inclined plate 321 is provided on the top of the second baffle 320, and a second through-hole 316 is provided on the top of the second box body 310 on one side of the second baffle 320. When working, the cards in the first box body 210 can fly smoothly into the second box body 310 through the second through-hole 316; a second outlet 317 is provided at the bottom of the side, and the bottom edge of the second baffle 320 can block the second outlet 317. The part of the second inclined plate 321 that passes through the second baffle 320 and is located just above the second through-hole In the opening 316, further, sliding ears 322 are provided on both sides of the second baffle 320, and a second guide groove 319 is provided in the second box body 310 for guiding the sliding ears 322 to rise and fall. The sliding ears 322 are stuck in the second guide groove 319, and a second spring 319a is provided in the second guide groove 319, wherein the bottom of the second spring 319a is against the sliding ear 322, and the top of the second spring 319a is against the top of the second guide groove 319. When the second baffle 320 is not working, In this case, the second baffle 320 is acted upon by the elastic force of the second spring 319a, and the second baffle 320 blocks the second outlet 317. When the playing card in the second box body 310 is subjected to external traction, the playing card in the second box body 310 will press the second baffle 320, so that the second baffle 320 is lifted. In this way, the playing card will smoothly fly out of the second box body 310 through the second outlet 317 and fly into the first box body 210. At the same time, the second spring 319a is acted upon by the elastic force of the second spring 319a, and the second baffle 320 blocks the second outlet 317. When the playing card is completely out of the second box body 310, the second baffle 320 is acted upon by the second spring 319a, and the second baffle 320 is automatically reset. Furthermore, when the playing card is in the second box body 310, that is, when the boss 313 and the pad 315 support the playing card at the same time, one side of the playing card on the pad 315 will be aligned with the gap between the second baffle 320 and the bottom surface of the second box body 310, so that when the playing card is subjected to traction, the second baffle 320 can be smoothly lifted.

[0041] The base 100 is provided with a plurality of second vertical rods 110 , each of which passes through the second box body 310 . The arrangement of the plurality of second vertical rods 110 ensures that the second box body 310 can be raised and lowered relative to the base 100 in a directional manner.

[0042] A second bottom shell 330 is detachably connected to the bottom of the second box body 310. A second grinding wheel 331 is movably mounted on the second bottom shell 330. A second through-hole 318 is provided at the bottom of the second box body 310. The side of the second grinding wheel 331 passes through the second through-hole 318. A second motor 332 having a second gear 332a is provided on the second bottom shell 330. The second gear 332a engages with the end of the second grinding wheel 331. When the second motor 332 drives the second gear 332a to rotate, the second grinding wheel 331 rotates synchronously. At this time, the side of the second grinding wheel 331 contacts the playing cards in the second box body 310. In this way, the friction between the second grinding wheel 331 and the playing cards drives the playing cards to move. That is, the playing cards are pulled by the second grinding wheel 331, causing them to fly out of the second box body 310 and into the first box body 210.

[0043] like Figure 8 — Figure 12 and Figure 14 As shown, first baffles 220 are slidably mounted on both side walls inside the first box body 210, and a first inclined plate 221 is provided on the top of each of the first baffles 220. The first box body 210 is provided with a first through-hole 212 on the top of one side of each first baffle 220. When a card in one of the second box bodies 310 enters the first box body 210 through the second outlet 317 thereon and the first through-hole 212 adjacent to the first box body 210, one side of the card will preferentially hit the first inclined plate 221 on the opposite side of the second box body 310. Because there is an angle between the first inclined plate and the first baffle, which is an acute angle, and the first inclined plate is parallel to the inner wall adjacent to the first box body, the card will move along the first inclined plate 221, that is, the card will be slightly moved. The first slant plate 221 is slightly tilted, and then, the tilted card is affected by its gravity and falls to the bottom of the first box body 210. During the process again, the card in the other second box body 310 will also fly into the first box body 210. In this way, the above two cards will be stacked together to achieve the effect of alternate shuffling. Furthermore, the part of the first inclined plate 221 that passes through the first baffle 220 is located in the first through-hole 212, so that when the card hits the first inclined plate 221 and is tilted by the first inclined plate 221, the first inclined plate 221 has enough distance to buffer the card and prevent the card from flying out through the first through-hole 212. Furthermore, by setting the operating time interval of the two second motors, the function of the cards in the two second boxes flying alternately into the first box body can be achieved.

[0044] The bottom of both sides of the first box body 210 is provided with a first outlet 213, and the bottom edge of the first baffle 220 can block the first outlet 213. Both sides of the first baffle 220 are provided with movable ears 222. The first box body 210 is provided with a first guide groove 214 for guiding the movable ear 222 to rise and fall. The movable ear 222 is stuck in the first guide groove 214, and a first spring 214a is provided in the first guide groove 214, wherein the bottom of the first spring 214a is against the movable ear 222, and the top of the first spring 214a is against the top of the first guide groove 214.

[0045] When the first baffle 220 is not working, the first baffle 220 is acted upon by the elastic force of the first spring 214a, and the first baffle 220 blocks the first outlet 213. When the playing cards in the first box body 210 are subjected to external traction, the playing cards in the first box body 210 will press the first baffle 220, so that the first baffle 220 is lifted. In this way, the playing cards will smoothly fly out of the first box body 210 through the first outlet 213 and fly into the second box body 310, and At the same time, the first spring 214a is compressed, and when the playing card is completely out of the first box body 210, the first baffle 220 is automatically reset by the action of the first spring 214a. Furthermore, when the playing card is at the bottom of the first box body 210, the bottommost playing card in the first box body 210 will be aligned with the gap between the first baffle 220 and the bottom surface of the first box body 210, so that the first baffle 220 can be smoothly lifted when the playing card is subjected to traction.

[0046] The first housing 210 is detachably connected to a first bottom shell 230. The first bottom shell 230 movably mounts first grinding wheels 231, the same number as the first outlets 213. The bottom of the first housing 210 is provided with first through-holes 215, the same number as the first outlets 213. Side surfaces of the first grinding wheels 231 extend through the first through-holes 215. When the first grinding wheels 231 rotate, the side surfaces of the first grinding wheels 231 contact the playing cards within the first housing 210. The friction between the first grinding wheels 231 and the playing cards causes the playing cards to move. In other words, the playing cards are pulled by the first grinding wheels 231, causing them to fly out of the first housing 210 and into the second housing 310 until they strike the second inclined surface 312 of the second housing 310.

[0047] A first motor 232 having a first gear 232a is mounted on the first base housing 230. The first gear 232a meshes with the end of one of the first grinding wheels 231. The first base housing 230 is further provided with a cylindrical main gear 233. A sub-gear 234 is disposed between each main gear 233 and the first grinding wheel 231. The ends of the main gears 233 and the ends of the first grinding wheels 231 mesh with adjacent sub-gears 234. When the first motor 232 rotates, the first grinding wheel 231 meshed with the first gear 232a rotates. In this process, the rotation of the main gear 233 and the two sub-gears 234 causes the other first grinding wheel 231 to rotate accordingly. The two first grinding wheels 231 rotate in the same direction, thus preventing the two first grinding wheels 231 from exerting opposing forces on the same playing card.

[0048] A lifting plate 216 is movably mounted within the first box body 210. A plurality of third motors 235 are mounted on the first bottom shell 230. Each third motor 235 is provided with a screw 235a. Each screw 235a passes through the bottom of the first box body 210 and is threaded through the lifting plate 216. A through slot 216a is provided on both sides of the lifting plate 216 for the first grinding wheel 231 to pass through. When the bottom surface of the lifting plate 216 is in contact with the bottom surface of the first box body 210, the side surface of the first grinding wheel 231 just contacts the playing cards, so that when the first grinding wheel 231 rotates, The first grinding wheel 231 can drive the corresponding movement of the playing cards, that is, the playing cards in the first box body 210 can be smoothly transferred from the first box body 210 to the second box body 310. When the shuffling is completed or the lifting plate 216 is ready to receive the playing cards, the user needs to control the third motor 235 to rotate the screw rods 235a. Since each screw rod 235a is threaded through the lifting plate 216, the screw rods 235a drive the lifting plate 216 to rise and fall relative to the first box body 210. In this way, the playing cards can be delivered from the first box body 210 and the user can easily place the playing cards on the lifting plate 216.

[0049] The base 100 is provided with a plurality of first vertical rods 120 , each of which passes through the first box body 210 . The plurality of first vertical rods 120 movably pass through the first box body 210 , so that the first box body 210 can be directionally raised and lowered relative to the base 100 .

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the base 100 is provided with a shell 130 that surrounds the first shuffling body 200 and the second shuffling body 300. The shell 130 is provided with an upper cover 140. The upper cover 140 is provided with an access opening 141, which is located directly above the first shuffling body 200. The upper cover 140 is provided with a control screen 142. The control system of the shuffling machine is electrically connected to the control screen 142, wherein the first motor 232, the second motor 332 and the third motor 235 are all electrically connected to the control screen 142.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, each of the second inclined surfaces 312 is provided with a first sensor 312a electrically connected to the control screen 142. In the present invention, the first sensor 312a is preferably a pressure sensor. When a card flies out of the first box body 210 and flies into the second box body 310, the card will preferentially hit the first sensor 312a on the second inclined surface 312. In this way, the first sensor 312a will produce a pressure change, and the information is transmitted to the control screen 142, and the control screen 142 displays a reading. After repeating the above action, the control screen 142 adds the number of times the two first sensors 312a are hit to obtain the total number of cards. Further, in the process of transferring the cards from the first box body 210 to the second box body 310, if one of the first sensors 312a is pressed for a long time, If the first sensor 312a still does not obtain a card impact reading, the control system of the shuffler determines that the shuffler is stuck. Thereafter, the control system automatically controls the first motor 232 to rotate in the reverse direction for a certain period of time, forcing the stuck card to move in the reverse direction. Thereafter, the first motor 232 is controlled to rotate forward. If the first sensor obtains a card impact reading, the control system controls the first motor to continue to operate in the forward direction. If the first sensor 312a still does not obtain a card impact reading, the control system repeatedly controls the first motor to rotate in the reverse direction. After the above actions are repeated three times, if the first sensor 312a still does not obtain a card impact reading, the control system determines that the card cannot be repaired by the above means, and issues an alarm and displays it on the display screen. People can only manually disassemble the shuffler and solve the card jam problem.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, a second sensor 340 is provided on the inner bottom surface of the first box body 210. The second sensor 340 in the present invention is preferably a photoelectric sensor. The second sensor 340 constantly monitors whether there are still cards in the second box body 310. When there are cards in the second box body 310 and the second box body 310 rises to a specified height, the second motor 332 will continue to operate. When the second sensor 340 detects that there are no cards in the second box body 310, the second box body 310 will start to descend, and the second motor 332 will also stop operating at the same time.

[0053] A first position sensor (not marked in the figure) is provided on the base 100, and the first position sensor is located directly below the first box body 210. When the bottom of the first box body 210 contacts the first position sensor, it indicates that the first box body 210 has dropped to the preset position, that is, the second box body 310 has risen to the preset height; a second position sensor (not marked in the figure) is provided on the base 100, and the second position sensor is located directly below the second box body 310. When the bottom of the second box body 310 contacts the second position sensor, it indicates that the second box body 310 has dropped to the preset position, that is, the first box body 210 has risen to the preset height.

[0054] Furthermore, the bottom edges of the first baffle 220 and the second baffle 320 are both configured to be arc-shaped, so as to guide the playing cards to smoothly enter the first outlet 213 of the first box body 210 and the second outlet 317 of the second box body 310 .

[0055] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0056] In addition, in the present invention, descriptions such as "first," "second," and "one" are for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply their relative importance or implicitly specify the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In the description of the present invention, "plurality" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0057] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "connection" and "fixation" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixation" can mean fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two elements or interaction between two elements, unless otherwise specified. Those skilled in the art will be able to understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0058] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that ordinary technicians in this field can implement it. When the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
