Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of card issuing machines, in particular to a card issuing mechanism and a card issuing machine. Background Art

[0002] Card games are a popular form of entertainment nowadays. When playing card games, the cards need to be reshuffled and redistributed after a round is over before the next round can be played. In the past, the actions of shuffling and dealing cards were mainly achieved manually. In order to further reduce the workload of manual labor, there are already a large number of card dealing machines on the market to replace card distribution to achieve the card dealing action. However, the card dealing mechanism of the card dealing machines on the market currently has the situation that two cards overlap and thus the cards cannot be dealt. At the same time, some card dealing machines with a cache mechanism require the card dealing mechanism to cooperate to accurately send the cards to the designated position of the cache mechanism. These card dealing machines with a cache mechanism can generally cooperate with Two decks of playing cards are used. When a player uses one of the decks of playing cards to play a game, a card dealing machine distributes the other deck of playing cards to a cache mechanism. When the player finishes a game, the cards used for the game can be placed in the card dealing mechanism of the card dealing machine, and the distributed cards can be taken out from the cache mechanism to continue the next game, which greatly improves the game speed and game experience. However, ordinary card dealing mechanisms on the market currently only output the cards in a specified direction without considering the angle and stability of the cards when output from the card dealing mechanism. Therefore, the card caching operation implemented by the cache mechanism cannot be achieved. Therefore, a card dealing mechanism and a card dealing machine are proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to further improve the game speed and the game experience of the players, the utility model provides a card dealing mechanism for collecting and conveying cards, which is applied to a card dealing machine. The card dealing machine can output cards stably while solving the problem of overlapping output of cards.

[0004] According to the first aspect of the present invention, a licensing mechanism is provided, the licensing mechanism comprising:

[0005] A card collection bin, used to hold a preset number of cards;

[0006] A moving device, comprising at least two rollers arranged in parallel front and back at a predetermined interval, for moving the playing cards in the playing card collection bin one by one;

[0007] A card receiving plate, arranged below the moving path of the playing cards, for carrying the playing cards moved by the moving device;

[0008] And a first blocking member and a second blocking member are sequentially arranged above the moving path of the cards along the moving direction of the cards, a first gap is provided between the first blocking member and the card receiving plate, and a second gap is provided between the second blocking member and a roller shaft close to the card outlet of the card issuing mechanism.

[0009] The first gap and the second gap are greater than or equal to the thickness of a card and less than the thickness of two cards. The first gap and the second gap are used to set two layers of constraints to prevent the cards from overlapping and moving; at the same time, the second gap can cooperate with the roller to adjust the angle of the card-discharging mechanism.

[0010] In some embodiments, the first blocking member includes a vertically arranged card baffle plate, which includes an upright portion and a guide portion. The upright portion cooperates with the inner wall of the card collecting bin to form a card accommodating bin, and the upright portion blocks the cards other than the cards to be output from moving along the moving direction of the cards to be output. The guide portion cooperates with the card receiving plate to form a first gap. By setting the first gap to be greater than or equal to the thickness of a card and less than the thickness of two cards, the problem of malfunction caused by the joint output of cards is further solved.

[0011] The second blocking member includes a transversely arranged card pressing plate and a guide block extending toward the direction of the first blocking member, a second gap is formed between the card pressing plate and the card receiving plate and between the rollers near the card outlet of the card issuing mechanism, and a guide angle is formed between the guide block and the card receiving plate.

[0012] It should be noted that the guide block guides the cards output from the first gap into the second gap through the guide angle formed with the card receiving plate. The guide block can be integrally formed with the card pressing plate or an independent accessory independently installed on the card pressing plate. When the guide block is installed as an independent accessory, the guide block can also continue to extend in the card-dispensing direction of the card-delivering mechanism until it covers the second roller. A spring can be arranged between the guide block and the card pressing plate, and the spring provides downward pressure to the guide block, so that the guide block can not only guide the cards into the second gap, but also press the cards in the second gap against the card receiving plate and the second roller to prevent slipping between the cards and the second roller, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of the card movement and further preventing the occurrence of stacked cards.

[0013] In some embodiments, the second blocking member includes a driven roller, which is symmetrically arranged with a roller near the card outlet of the card dealing mechanism. The driven roller can clamp the cards with the roller near the card outlet of the card dealing mechanism to prevent the cards from slipping when being transported on the roller, and can also adjust the angle of the cards being discharged.

[0014] In some embodiments, the moving device is disposed below a card collection bin, and the lowest card in the card collection bin is in close contact with an upper end surface of the roller.

[0015] In some embodiments, the moving device includes a first roller and a second roller, the first roller and the second roller are sequentially arranged along a card moving direction, and a predetermined interval between the first roller and the second roller is not greater than a length of the card.

[0016] It should be noted that general playing cards are rectangular, and the length of the playing cards here is the length of the longer side of the rectangular playing cards. The playing cards need to be continuously transferred between the rollers, so the distance between the rollers is smaller than the length of the playing cards.

[0017] In some embodiments, the moving device further includes a first motor for driving the first roller to rotate, and a second motor for driving the second roller to rotate.

[0018] In some embodiments, the rotation speed ratio of the first roller and the second roller is 1:2.

[0019] It should be noted that the two rollers are designed to have a speed difference, which makes the cards close to the card outlet of the card issuing mechanism leave the card issuing mechanism faster, increasing the distance with the next card, thereby further preventing the phenomenon of two playing cards being delivered to the outlet at the same time.

[0020] In some embodiments, the card issuing mechanism further includes a card pressing plate for pressing the cards in the card collecting bin so that the cards at the bottom of the collecting bin remain in close contact with the mobile device. The pressing force of the card pressing plate can ensure that all the cards in the card collecting bin are pressed smoothly so that the cards at the bottom of the collecting bin remain in close contact with the mobile device, so that the mobile device can deliver the cards one by one through friction.

[0021] In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the card dealing mechanism is inclined.

[0022] It should be noted that the inclination of the bottom surface can overcome the problem that the cards can be driven to follow due to inertia, that is, the cards in contact with the output cards have a tendency to fall backwards to offset the linkage tendency and solve the linkage problem.

[0023] In a second aspect of the present invention, a card dealing machine is provided, which comprises the card dealing mechanism as described above.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] The card dealing mechanism of the utility model is provided with a card collecting bin for accommodating cards, and the rollers are arranged in parallel front and back at a predetermined interval so that the cards can be output one by one from the card collecting bin 12 in a longer moving path, wherein gaps formed by two blocking members are respectively arranged on the moving path to prevent two cards from overlapping and moving at two positions, which not only solves the problem of card linkage in the existing card dealing mechanism, but also the second gap enables the cards to be issued one by one at a precise angle, and the function of dealing cards one by one is realized through a relatively simple and practical structure, and the card dealing mechanism has the effects of strong stability and low card linkage rate, and has a good practical effect in the application of the card dealing machine.

[0026] The card issuing mechanism of the utility model has the effects of strong stability and low card linkage rate, and has good practical effect in the application of the card issuing machine. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0039] The card issuing mechanism and the card issuing machine provided by the utility model are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0040] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 According to the first aspect of the present invention, a licensing mechanism is provided, wherein the licensing mechanism comprises:

[0041] A card collection bin 12, for accommodating a preset number of cards 0;

[0042] A moving device, comprising at least two rollers arranged in parallel front and back at a predetermined interval, for moving the cards in the card collection bin 12 one by one;

[0043] A card receiving plate 114, disposed below the moving path of the playing cards, for carrying the playing cards moved by the moving device;

[0044] A first blocking member 19 and a second blocking member 110 are sequentially arranged above the moving path of the cards along the moving direction of the cards, a first gap is provided between the first blocking member 19 and the card receiving plate 114, and a second gap is provided between the second blocking member 110 and the roller shaft near the card outlet of the card issuing mechanism.

[0045] Specifically, the moving device is arranged below the card collection bin 12, and the lowest card in the card collection bin 12 is in close contact with the upper end surface of the roller.

[0046] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 The first gap and the second gap are greater than or equal to the thickness of a card and less than the thickness of two cards. The first gap and the second gap are used to set up two layers of obstacles to prevent the cards from overlapping and moving; at the same time, the second gap can cooperate with the roller to adjust the angle of the card issuing mechanism.

[0047] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first blocking member 19 includes a vertically arranged card baffle plate, which includes an upright portion 191 and a guide portion 192. The upright portion 191 cooperates with the inner wall of the card collecting bin 12 to form a card accommodating bin, and the upright portion 191 blocks the cards other than the cards to be output from moving along the moving direction of the cards to be output. The guide portion 192 cooperates with the card receiving plate 114 to form a first gap, and the first gap is limited to only one card to pass through, further solving the problem of failure caused by the joint output of cards.

[0048] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the second blocking member 110 includes a transversely arranged card pressing plate and a guide block 115 extending toward the direction of the first blocking member 19, a second gap is formed between the card pressing plate and the card receiving plate 114 and between the roller shaft near the card outlet of the card issuing mechanism, and a guiding angle is formed between the guide block 115 and the card receiving plate 114.

[0049] It should be noted that the guide block 115 guides the cards output from the first gap into the second gap through the guide angle formed with the card receiving plate 114. The guide block 115 can be integrally formed with the card pressing plate or an independent accessory independently installed on the card pressing plate. When the guide block 115 is installed as an independent accessory, the guide block 115 can also continue to extend in the card-discharging direction of the card-delivering mechanism until it covers the second roller 112. A spring 116 can be arranged between the guide block 115 and the card pressing plate. The spring 116 provides downward pressure to the guide block 115, so that the guide block 115 can not only guide the cards into the second gap, but also press the cards in the second gap against the card receiving plate 114 and the second roller 112 to prevent the cards from slipping against the second roller 112, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of the card movement and further preventing the occurrence of stacked cards. It should also be noted that Figure 6 In the figure, only the structural relationship among the card pressing plate, spring and guide block is shown, and the specific installation position is not shown. It can be understood that those skilled in the art can realize the installation of the card pressing plate, spring and guide block based on the above-mentioned functional progressive relationship, and no further details are given here.

[0050] In some embodiments, the second blocking member 110 may also be a driven roller, which is symmetrically arranged with the roller near the card outlet of the card dealing mechanism. The driven roller can clamp the cards with the roller near the card outlet of the card dealing mechanism to prevent the cards from slipping when being transported on the roller, and can also adjust the angle of the cards being discharged.

[0051] refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the moving device includes a first roller 113 and a second roller 112, and the first roller 113 and the second roller 112 are sequentially arranged along the moving direction of the playing card, and the predetermined interval between the first roller 113 and the second roller 112 is not greater than the length of the playing card. It should be noted that the general playing card is rectangular, and the length of the playing card here is the length of the longer side of the rectangular playing card. The playing cards need to be continuously transferred between the rollers, so the distance between the rollers is less than the length of the playing card.

[0052] Continue to refer Figure 3 In some embodiments, the mobile device also includes a first motor 15 for driving the first roller 113 to rotate, and a second motor 14 for driving the second roller 112 to rotate. In this embodiment, in order to consider the layout of practical applications, the second motor 14 drives the second roller 112 through a transmission belt. Of course, in other layouts, the second motor 14 can also directly drive the second roller 112 without a transmission belt.

[0053] In some embodiments, the rotation speed ratio of the first roller 113 and the second roller 112 is 1:2. It should be noted that the two rollers are designed with a speed difference, which allows the cards close to the card outlet of the card dealing mechanism to leave the card dealing mechanism faster and increase the distance with the next card, thereby further preventing the phenomenon of two playing cards being delivered to the outlet at the same time.

[0054] refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the card dealing mechanism further includes a first position sensor 17 and a second position sensor 18. The first position sensor 17 is used to detect whether a card enters the second gap, and the second position sensor 18 is used to detect whether a previous card leaves the card dealing mechanism. After the previous card leaves the card dealing mechanism, the first roller 113 continues to output the cards in the card collecting bin 12 to the second roller 112 to continue dealing the cards.

[0055] In some embodiments, the card issuing mechanism further includes a card pressing plate for pressing the cards in the card collecting bin 12 so that the cards at the bottom of the collecting bin remain in close contact with the mobile device. The pressing force of the card pressing plate can ensure that all cards in the card collecting bin 12 are pressed smoothly so that the cards at the bottom of the collecting bin remain in close contact with the mobile device, so that the mobile device can deliver the cards one by one through friction.

[0056] In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the card issuing mechanism is inclined. It should be noted that the inclination of the bottom surface can overcome the problem that the cards can be driven to follow due to inertia, that is, the cards in contact with the output cards have a tendency to fall backwards to offset the linkage tendency and solve the linkage problem.

[0057] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the card collecting device is installed on the frame 1 via a rotating shaft 121, and the rotating shaft 121 is driven to rotate by a third motor 13 to drive the card collecting device to rotate. The positioning portion 124 of the card collecting device cooperates with the third position sensor 122 to make it selectively stay in the card feeding state, that is, the card feeding port of the card collecting device is vertically upward to allow the user to put the cards into the card collecting device. The positioning portion 124 of the card collecting device also cooperates with the fourth position sensor 123 to make it stay in the card discharging state, that is, the card feeding port of the card collecting device is horizontally toward the card output path, and the mobile device outputs the cards in the card collecting device one by one.

[0058] In a second aspect of the present invention, a card dealing machine is provided, which comprises the card dealing mechanism as described above.

[0059] The card dealing mechanism of the utility model is provided with a card collecting bin 12 for accommodating cards, and the rollers are arranged in parallel front and back at a predetermined interval so that the cards can be output one by one from the card collecting bin 12 in a longer moving path, wherein gaps formed by two blocking members are respectively arranged on the moving path to prevent two cards from overlapping and moving at two positions, which not only solves the problem of card linkage in the existing card dealing mechanism, but also the second gap enables the cards to be issued one by one at a precise angle, and the function of dealing cards one by one is realized through a relatively simple and practical structure, and the card dealing mechanism has the effects of strong stability and low card linkage rate, and has a good practical effect in the application of the card dealing machine.

[0060] The above are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
