[0032] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an automatic sorting card dealing device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a card dealing machine; the card dealing machine includes a card dealing module 101, a conveying module 102, a sorting module 103, a card discharging platform 104, a card reading camera 105 and a control system 106. The card dealing module 101 includes a card storage bin 601, an elastic pressure plate 602 is connected to the card storage bin 601, a card stack 603 is arranged below the elastic pressure plate 602, a bottom plate 605 is fixedly connected to one side of the card storage bin 601, a baffle 604 is fixedly installed on the top of the bottom plate 605, a second conveyor belt 607 is arranged on one side of the bottom plate 605, a pressure wheel 608 is rotatably connected in the card dealing machine, a photoelectric switch 606 is arranged in the card dealing machine, and a card rubbing wheel 609 is rotatably connected in the card dealing machine. The sorting module 103 is composed of a plurality of identical sorting bins, and the sorting bin is divided into 14 small grids. The control system 106 is a single chip microcomputer with an ARM Cortex M4 processor as its core, and the card-discharging platform 104 is a lifting type.

[0034] Specifically, the conveying module 102 includes an X-axis walking mechanism, a Y-axis walking mechanism and a mobile platform 203, and the mobile platform 203 includes a clamping mechanism 302, a flipping mechanism 301 and a card holding platform 303. The sorting module 103 includes a lifting motor 506 fixedly connected to the card dealing machine, a conveying motor 502 is fixedly installed in the card dealing machine, a lifting plate 504 is arranged in the card dealing machine, and a plurality of first conveyor belts 501 connected to the output end of the conveying motor 502 are installed on the card dealing machine, a grid plate 503 is arranged in the card dealing machine, and the grid plate 503 is fixed on the card dealing machine. The card storage bin 601 can be turned over by 90°, and the elastic pressure plate 602 is arranged in an inclined shape. There is a gap between the bottom plate 605 and the baffle 604, the second conveyor belt 607 is designed with two, and the pressure wheel 608 and the card rubbing wheel 609 are designed with two and cooperate with the second conveyor belt 607.

[0035] Specifically, the X-axis walking mechanism includes a fixedly installed X-axis guide rail 202, an X-axis synchronous belt 204 is installed on the X-axis guide rail 202, and an X-axis motor 201 is installed at one end of the X-axis synchronous belt 204. The Y-axis walking mechanism includes two symmetrically fixedly installed Y-axis guide rails 205 in the card dealing machine, a Y-axis synchronous belt 206 is installed on the Y-axis guide rails 205, and a transmission shaft 207 and a Y-axis motor 208 are installed at one end of the Y-axis synchronous belt 206.

[0036] Specifically, the card discharging platform 104 includes a card discharging motor 401 fixedly installed in the card dealing system, which is connected to a lifting screw rod 406 through a transmission belt 402, and the lifting screw rod 406 is connected to a card placing platform 405. A lower limit sensor 403 and an upper limit sensor 404 installed in the card dealing system are used to detect whether the card placing platform 405 is raised or lowered into position.

[0037] When working, the card dealing module 101 is responsible for importing a stack of cards that have been sorted, and can output them one by one. The card storage bin 601 can be turned 90 degrees, and the cards are placed vertically. The card stack 603 is manually placed and then turned horizontally. At this time, the card stack 603 is placed above the card shuffling wheel 609, and the elastic pressure plate 602 presses the cards, so that the card shuffling wheel 609 always maintains a certain pressure. When dealing cards, the card shuffling wheel 609 and the second conveyor belt 607 rotate at the same time, and the pressure wheel 608 fits the second conveyor belt 607 and rotates passively. The cards at the bottom of the card stack 603 are output forward under the action of friction, and a gap is left between the bottom plate 605 and the baffle 604 to ensure that only one card can be output. When the cards enter between the second conveyor belt 607 and the pressure wheel 608, the photoelectric switch 606 detects that the cards are in place, the card shuffling wheel 609 stops rotating, and the conveyor belt continues to work. The cards continue to move forward under the action of the pressure wheel 608. Since the card shuffling wheel 609 has stopped rotating, the remaining cards in the card stack 603 will not be continuously output. The output of a single card is achieved. The mobile platform 203 on the conveying module 102 is pre-stayed at the output position of the card issuing module 101, and the flip mechanism 301 makes the card holding platform 302 horizontally placed, and the clamping mechanism 303 is loosened to prepare for the introduction of paper sheets. After receiving the paper, the clamping mechanism 303 clamps the paper, and then the card reading camera 105 reads the number and uploads it to the control system 106. The control system 106 determines the bin number and sequence number of the card to be placed according to the number and the order of card distribution, and then controls the X-travel mechanism and Y-travel mechanism of the conveying module 102 to transfer. After the mobile platform 203 reaches the specified position, the clamping mechanism 302 is released, so that the card slides into the sorting bin under the action of gravity, completing the conveyance of a card.

[0038] The grid plate 503 is designed with 14 small grids to correspond to the 14 numbers of the cards. When receiving the cards, the cards are introduced into the corresponding compartments according to the numbers. After the cards are received, the lifting plate 504 begins to rise under the action of the lifting motor 506, so that the cards are transferred to the first conveyor belt 501. The card discharging platform 104 is driven by the card discharging motor 401 through the transmission belt 402 to drive the lifting screw 406 to rotate, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the card placing platform 405. When the first conveyor belt 501 prepares the cards, the card placing platform 405 drops to a low position, and the conveying motor 502 starts, so that the cards on the first conveyor belt 501 are transferred to the card placing platform 405, and then rise and lift to the table to realize the output of the cards. The control system 106 is a single-chip microcomputer with an ARM Cortex M4 processor as the core. It is the core of the entire card dealing machine and is responsible for controlling the start and stop of each motor and the selection of the card dealing method. Its control process is shown in the attached figure. Figure 7 shown.

[0039] When the card dealing machine is started, the control system 106 guides the user to select the number of people, the game mode, and the order of dealing cards. The number of card dealing positions, the number of cards in each position, and the sorting method are determined. The card holding platform 303 of the mobile platform 203 rotates horizontally, and the clamping mechanism 302 is released to move it below the card outlet of the card dealing module 101. The card dealing module 101 outputs a card and automatically imports it into the mobile platform 203. After the mobile platform 203 receives the card, the clamping mechanism 302 clamps the card, the card reading camera 105 takes a photo to read the number, and uploads it to the control system 106. The flipping mechanism 301 is released to fix the card in an inclined position. The control system 106 determines the position number of the card according to the specified order of dealing cards, and determines the ranking number according to the card number. The X-axis motor 201 and the Y-axis motor 208 of the conveying module 102 drag the mobile platform 203 to the specified position, and then release the clamping claw to allow the paper to slide freely into the sorting bin. The conveying of a card is completed. According to the above cycle, the distribution of all cards is completed. After the sorting module 103 receives the cards, the lifting motor 506 is started, and the lifting plate 504 rises along the direction determined by the guide plate 505, and the first conveyor belt 501 is installed on the lifting plate 504 and rises accordingly. Because the small grids on the grid plate 503 are at a certain angle with the first conveyor belt 501, the cards are tilted in a predetermined direction and transferred to the first conveyor belt 501 to wait for output. After the control system 106 receives the card output instruction, the card output motor 401 is started, driving the card placement platform 405 to move down to the card output position. The conveying motor 502 is started to transport the cards to the card placement platform 405 and naturally form a stack. After all the cards are output, the card placement platform 405 rises to the desktop, so that the card stack 603 is completely exposed on the desktop, and a card distribution operation is completed. The structure designed by the present application can orderly organize the card numbers, and the sorting method can also be freely set by the user, thereby bringing more high-end enjoyment to the user.

[0040] The mobile platform 203 designed in the present application makes the clamping and flipping maintained by spring force, and the electromagnet only needs to work for a short time, which is energy-saving and prolongs the service life, so that the mechanism can be used for a long time; a synchronous belt drive is used to ensure that the tension of each wheel is consistent, ensuring that the mechanism can operate stably for a long time; and the sorting bin structure design and grid storage solve the problem of orderly storage of random brands, and at the same time solve the problem of sorting various numbers; the inclined layout of the grid plate 503 enables more bins to be arranged in a limited space; and the first conveyor belt 501 can be smoothly raised and lowered horizontally under the control of the guide plate 505.

[0041] Working principle: When the card dealing machine is started, the control system 106 guides the user to select the number of people, the game mode, and the order of dealing cards. Determine the number of card dealing positions, the number of cards in each position, and the sorting method. The card holding platform 303 of the mobile platform 203 is placed horizontally, and the clamping mechanism 302 is released to move it below the card outlet of the card dealing module 101. The card dealing module 101 outputs a card and automatically imports it into the mobile platform 203. After the mobile platform 203 receives the card, it first clamps the paper with the clamping mechanism 302. The card reading camera 105 takes a photo to read the number and uploads it to the control system 106, and then the flipping mechanism 301 fixes the tilting position of the card holding platform 303. The control system 106 determines the position number of the card according to the specified order of dealing cards, and determines the ranking number according to the card number. The X-axis motor 201 and the Y-axis motor 208 of the conveying module 102 drag the mobile platform 203 to the specified position, and then release the clamping claw to allow the paper to slide freely into the sorting bin. Complete the delivery of a card. According to the above cycle, complete the distribution of all cards. After the sorting module 103 receives the cards, start the lifting motor 506 to make the first conveyor belt 501 go up. The cards stored between the grid plates 503 are at a certain angle with the first conveyor belt 501, so that the cards are dumped in a predetermined direction and transferred to the first conveyor belt 501 to wait for output. After the control system 106 receives the card output instruction, the card placing platform 405 moves down to the card output position. The conveying motor 502 starts to transport the cards to the card placing platform 405, and naturally forms a stack. After all the cards are output, the card placing platform 405 moves up to the desktop, so that the card stack 603 is completely exposed on the desktop, and a card dealing operation is completed.
