[0001] The invention relates to the field of poker machine doors, and in particular to a card-proof door for a poker dealer and a mounting structure thereof. Background Art

[0002] The poker dealer on the automatic poker table is installed in an embedded manner. After the shuffled poker cards are placed in the poker dealer, the poker dealer will divide the poker cards into a set number of piles and then transport them back to the table. When the poker dealer performs the card-splitting operation, the existing poker dealer mainly uses a belt conveyor device to transport the poker cards one by one to each card compartment by the friction between the belt and the poker cards, and the poker cards in the card compartment are put into the compartment by opening and closing the upper compartment door.

[0003] Since most of the existing playing cards are made of paper, during the process of conveying the playing cards via the belt conveyor, there is friction between the playing cards and the belt to generate static electricity, which causes the playing cards to sink slowly into the card compartment or be directly adsorbed on the top of the card compartment, especially in the dry winter weather. In the above situation, when the subsequent playing cards enter the card compartment again, due to the position restriction of the previous playing card in the card compartment, there is no or very little gap in the card compartment for the next playing card to enter, resulting in a card jam caused by the top card, which affects the normal and smooth card distribution operation of the poker dealer. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide an anti-card jamming door and its mounting structure for a poker dealing machine, which can ensure that the card dealing operation of the poker dealing machine is carried out normally and smoothly while also reducing the risk of a card jam caused by a card on top of a card in the card cabin.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and by way of examples. The following examples are intended to explain the present invention but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

[0030] Embodiment 1.

[0031] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 The present embodiment is a card-proof door for a poker dealer, comprising two guide members 1 arranged in a straight line, the two guide members 1 are connected by a mounting rod 2, the mounting rod 2 is passed through and fixed on the right end of the guide member 1, the bottom surfaces of the guide members 1 are opposite and the top surfaces are inclined, and a resisting member that can be used to resist the topmost poker card in the card compartment from top to bottom is provided on the bottom surface of the left end of the guide member 1.

[0032] When in use, the hatch will be installed on the card inlet of the card compartment of the poker dealer. When the poker cards are transported in a straight line, the card inlet of the card compartment is in a closed state through the hatch. When the card inlet of the card compartment remains in a closed state, the top surface of the guide 1 is in a horizontal state, and the poker cards are transported through the hatch. When the hatch is rotated and opened, the guide 1 blocks the conveying track of the poker cards, so that when the poker cards continue to be transported, the poker cards will contact the guide 1 and enter the card compartment through the card inlet under the guidance of the bottom surface of the guide 1. In the process of rotating and resetting the hatch, the abutment on the guide 1 can play a role in abutting the sinking of the poker cards in the card compartment, so that there is a gap between the poker cards and the bottom surface of the guide 1, reducing the risk of subsequent poker cards in the card compartment entering the card compartment and causing a card jam, thereby ensuring the smooth card distribution operation of the poker dealer.

[0033] In this embodiment, the abutting member is a metal hanging piece 71, one end of the metal hanging piece 71 is hinged on the left end of the guide member 1 and the other end thereof is exposed on the guide member 1, and the angle between the top surface of the guide member 1 and the metal hanging piece 71 is in the range of 0-90°. Since the metal hanging piece 71 can rotate relative to the guide member 1, there can be an overlapping space occupied area between the playing card pile in the card compartment and the guide member 1, thereby ensuring that there is a gap between the playing cards in the card compartment and the bottom surface of the guide member 1, and at the same time, the utilization rate of the card compartment space can be improved, and the control of the size of the card compartment volume can be ensured.

[0034] When the playing cards enter the card compartment, when the playing cards contact the metal hanging piece 71, the playing cards can resist the metal hanging piece 71 and push the metal hanging piece 71 to rotate relative to the guide member 1, so that the metal hanging piece 71 moves away from the moving track of the playing cards, thereby ensuring that the playing cards enter the card compartment, and when the compartment door is closed, the metal hanging piece 71 rotates and resets relative to the guide member 1 under the action of gravity, so that the metal hanging piece 71 can resist the top playing card in the card compartment, thereby providing sufficient space for subsequent playing cards to enter the card compartment, reducing the risk of card jamming caused by the top card, and ensuring the smoothness of the card dealing operation of the poker dealer.

[0035] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 A right-angle structure 3 is provided on the inner and outer ends of the left end of the guide member 1, which ensures the installation distance of the metal hanging piece 71 from the left end face of the guide member 1 while also ensuring the regularity of the shape of the guide piece, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the guide member 1.

[0036] See also Figure 1 A connecting piece 5 is provided between the adjacent guide members 1, and the two ends of the connecting piece 5 are respectively connected to the two guide members 1 in an integral manner, so as to improve the convenience of assembling the guide members 1 on the mounting rod 2 and ensure the stability of the relative position state between the guide members 1. The connecting piece 5 is sleeved on the mounting rod 2, and a baffle 51 is provided on the connecting piece 5. The baffle 51 is inclined relative to the top surface of the guide member 1, so that the baffle 51 can be located on the conveying track of the playing cards when the card compartment is opened, thereby improving the conveying restriction of the door on the playing cards, thereby ensuring the effect of the playing cards entering the card compartment under the guidance of the guide member 1.

[0037] See also Figure 2 A weight-reducing groove 6 is provided on the bottom surface of the guide member 1, a metal hanging piece 71 is located in the weight-reducing groove 6, and a reinforcing piece 61 is provided in the weight-reducing groove 6, which not only ensures the structural stability of the guide member 1 but also reduces the weight of the guide member 1 and reduces the driving burden of the hatch.

[0038] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 The bottom end of the right end of the guide member 1 extends along the arc of the bottom surface of the guide member 1 to form an extension piece 11, which ensures the guiding effect of the guide member 1 on the playing cards.

[0039] Embodiment 2.

[0040] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of the first embodiment, except that the abutting member is a soft brush 72, the handle end of the soft brush 72 is fixed on the guide member 1 and the bristle end thereof is exposed on the guide member 1, and the soft brush 72 is arranged at an angle to the top surface of the guide member 1.

[0041] When the playing cards enter the card compartment, when the playing cards contact the brush end, the playing cards can press against the brush end and push the brush end to bend relative to the guide 1, so that the brush end moves away from the moving trajectory of the playing cards, ensuring that the playing cards enter the card compartment, and when the brush end stops being pushed by the playing cards, the brush end returns to its original state, so that when the compartment door is closed, the brush end can press against the top playing cards in the card compartment, so that there is enough space between the playing cards in the card compartment and the bottom surface of the guide 1 for subsequent playing cards to enter the card compartment, reducing the risk of cards being stuck due to top cards, and ensuring the smoothness of the card dealing operation of the poker dealer.

[0042] Embodiment three.

[0043] See also Figure 5 , Figure 6 The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of the first and second embodiments, except that: the abutting member is an elastic member 73, one end of the elastic member 73 is fixed on the guide member 1 and the other end thereof is exposed on the guide member 1, and the elastic member 73 is arranged at an angle to the top surface of the guide member 1. Since the elastic member 73 can be deformed and bent relative to the guide member 1, an overlapping space can exist between the stack of playing cards in the card compartment and the guide member 1, thereby ensuring that there is a gap between the playing cards in the card compartment and the bottom surface of the guide member 1, and at the same time, the utilization rate of the card compartment space can be improved, thereby ensuring the control of the volume of the card compartment.

[0044] When the playing cards enter the card compartment, when the playing cards contact the elastic member 73, the playing cards can resist the elastic member 73 and push the elastic member 73 to deform and bend relative to the guide member 1, so that the elastic member 73 moves away from the moving trajectory of the playing cards, thereby ensuring that the playing cards enter the card compartment, and when the elastic member 73 stops being pushed by the playing cards, the elastic member 73 automatically elastically returns to its original state, so that when the compartment door is closed, the elastic member 73 can resist the top playing cards in the card compartment, so that there is enough space between the playing cards in the card compartment and the bottom surface of the guide member 1 for subsequent playing cards to enter the card compartment, thereby reducing the risk of cards being stuck due to top cards and ensuring the smoothness of the card dealing operation of the poker dealer.

[0045] In this embodiment, the elastic member 73 may be an elastic element such as a spring, an elastic steel wire, an elastic patch, etc., which can automatically restore to its original shape after elastic deformation.

[0046] Embodiment 4.

[0047] See also Figure 7 , Figure 8The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of the first to third embodiments, except that: the abutting member is a protrusion 74, which is integrally connected to the guide member 1, and the end surface of the bottom end of the protrusion 74 is in an arc shape, which reduces the impact of the protrusion 74 on the smoothness of the playing cards entering the card compartment during the opening of the hatch, and the chamfer structure 4 is provided on the outer end of the left end of the guide member 1, which reduces the area of ​​the left end of the guide member 1 and prolongs the time that the playing cards cover the left end of the guide member 1 when the hatch is opened, thereby reducing the risk of playing cards covering the guide member 1 and causing card jams when the hatch is opened. When the hatch is closed, the protrusion 74 on the guide member 1 can abut on the topmost playing card in the card compartment from top to bottom, so that the distance between the playing card and the guide member 1 is always guaranteed to be constant, thereby ensuring the smoothness of subsequent playing cards entering the card compartment.

[0048] Embodiment five.

[0049] See also Fig. 9 , Fig.10 The present embodiment is a mounting structure for an anti-card hatch for a poker dealer based on any one of embodiments 1 to 4, comprising two mounting sleeves 8, which can be detachably mounted on the frame of the poker dealer, and the two ends of the mounting rod 2 are respectively inserted into the two mounting sleeves 8 and can rotate, while ensuring the switching of the hatch to the closed and open states of the card inlet, the convenience of installing the hatch on the card inlet is also improved, one end of the mounting rod 2 is bent to form a connecting portion 21 for connecting the driving end of the pull-type electromagnet, and the connecting portion 21 and the mounting rod 2 are arranged at a right angle, and a slot 81 connected to the cavity of the mounting sleeve 8 is opened on the side surface of the mounting sleeve 8 sleeved on one end of the mounting rod 2, reducing the inconvenience caused by the connecting portion 21 on one end of the mounting rod 2 to the installation of the mounting sleeve 8, and the width of the slot 81 gradually decreases from the outside to the inside along the radial direction of the mounting sleeve 8 and the minimum width of the opening is less than the diameter of the mounting rod 2, thereby ensuring the stability of the installation of the mounting sleeve 8 on one end of the mounting rod 2.
