Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of card dealing machines, in particular to a card dealing machine with adjustable thickness of playing cards. Background Art
[0002] As an important part of modern leisure gaming equipment, automatic card dealers are widely used in various poker games, bridge competitions and home games, aiming to reduce the errors and time consumption of manual card dealing and improve the fairness and efficiency of the game. Through mechanization, automatic card dealers can accurately and quickly distribute pre-shuffled cards to players, allowing players to focus on strategy and entertainment without worrying about possible mistakes in the card dealing process.
[0003] Although automatic card dealers continue to improve in technology and functionality, current equipment still has some limitations, especially in terms of the ability to handle cards of different thicknesses. Most card dealers on the market today are designed to handle cards of standard thickness, but as card materials diversify, non-traditional cards such as carbon fiber cards and plastic cards are becoming more and more popular among players. These new cards are praised for their durability and unique tactile properties, but they are usually thinner than standard cards and therefore cannot be properly handled in existing card dealers.
[0004] At present, the card track design and card dealing mechanism of automatic card dealing machines are usually fixed, without providing the necessary adjustment mechanism to adapt to cards of different thicknesses. This results in the cards being clamped or held when using cards of non-standard thickness, and unable to pass through the card track smoothly; or the card pile is not compacted enough, resulting in the cards being clamped together or the cards being dealt incompletely.
[0005] Therefore, those skilled in the art have proposed a card-dealing machine with adjustable playing card thickness. Utility Model Content

[0009] Through the above technical means, the adjustment plate is a U-shaped structure and is fixed inside the mounting frame, and the adjustment mechanism is arranged inside the adjustment plate.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the adjustment mechanism includes a lifting frame, a limiting end, a wedge block, a waist groove, a limiting screw and a spring;
[0011] The lifting frame is configured as a T-shaped structure, the limiting end is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting frame, and a circular structure is configured at the bottom of the limiting end.
[0012] Through the above technical means, the bottom of the limiting end is set to a circular structure, and the limiting end with a circular structure is convenient for contacting with the playing cards.
[0013] As a preferred implementation, the wedge block is arranged on one side of the lifting frame, an inclined surface used in conjunction with the wedge block is arranged on the outer side of the limiting end, and the waist groove is opened inside the lifting frame.
[0014] Through the above technical means, the wedge block is in contact with the lifting frame, so that when the wedge block moves, the lifting frame can be driven to move by its own shape characteristics.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment, the limit screw is arranged inside the waist groove and one end of which is rotatably connected to the adjustment plate, the limit screw is threadedly connected to the wedge block, both sides of the wedge block are slidingly connected to the inner wall of the adjustment plate, the other end of the limit screw extends to the outside of the mounting frame and is provided with a cross structure, and the spring is symmetrically fixedly connected between the lifting frame and the mounting frame.
[0016] Through the above technical means, by turning the limit screw, the limit screw will drive the wedge block to move when it rotates. When the wedge block moves, its bottom will contact the lifting frame and drive the lifting frame to move up and down. The up and down movement of the lifting frame can achieve the effect of controlling the movement of the limit end, thereby achieving the technical purpose of adjusting the thickness of the playing cards. When the lifting frame is moved, the spring will be stretched or compressed, so that when the lifting frame needs to be reset, the spring can provide it with reset power.
[0017] As a preferred embodiment, a driving mechanism is arranged inside the card dealing machine body and on the mounting frame, and a storage battery is arranged inside the card dealing machine body.
[0018] Through the above technical means, the driving mechanism provides movement power for the card dealing machine body, and the battery can be used to power the card dealing machine body.
[0019] As a preferred embodiment, a card feeding mechanism is disposed inside the card dealing machine body, and the top of the card feeding mechanism extends to the inside of the placement slot.
[0020] Through the above technical means, the card feeding mechanism is used to drive the cards to move.
[0021] As a preferred embodiment, a control button is arranged on the top of the card dealing machine body, and adjustment buttons are arranged on the top of the card dealing machine body and equidistantly outside the control button.
[0022] Through the above technical means, the control button and the adjustment button are used to adjust the use of the card dealing machine body according to different needs.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the utility model are:
[0024] The utility model drives the wedge block to move by turning the limit screw, drives the lifting frame to move up and down by utilizing the contact characteristics of the inclined surface between the wedge block and the limit end, and provides a reset function for the lifting frame through a spring, so that the limit end has the effect of being able to be adjusted up and down, thereby achieving the technical purpose of being able to adjust the thickness of the playing cards. Compared with the traditional card dealing machine, the device can adapt to playing cards of different thicknesses, has a wider range of use, and is more convenient in actual operation.
