Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of card shuffling machines and relates to a lifting structure of a card shuffling machine. Background Art

[0002] Playing cards, as the most common entertainment items in people's lives, are deeply loved by the general public because of their diverse playing methods and suitability for all ages. However, after a game of cards, players need to sort, shuffle, and deal the cards by themselves. To save the time of dealing cards, various machines that replace manual card dealing have emerged, greatly improving the experience of poker games. However, most card shuffling machines on the market can only shuffle multiple playing cards once and cannot achieve continuous and multiple shuffles within the card shuffling machine, resulting in poor shuffling effects, that is, the effect of disrupting the card deck becomes worse.

[0003] For example, a utility model patent with an application number of CN202321790021.9 provides a cyclic card shuffling machine including a base, a first shuffling body, a second shuffling body, a hinge, and a driving member. In this utility model, through the combined use of the hinge and the driving member, the first shuffling body and the second shuffling body can perform lifting movements in opposite directions. During operation, when the first shuffling body reaches the specified height, the cards in the first shuffling body can be transferred to the two second shuffling bodies. When the two shuffling bodies reach the preset height, the cards in the two second shuffling bodies can be simultaneously transferred to the first shuffling body. By repeating the above actions, multiple shuffles of the playing cards can be achieved.

[0004] However, similar existing technologies have problems such as poor structural stability and excessive use of parts. At the same time, due to the complex assembly relationship, the card shuffling machine is prone to jamming and has great room for improvement. Summary of the Invention

When the second shuffling body is raised to the second position, the cards in the second shuffling body can be transferred into the first shuffling body;

[0010] A driving element, which is connected to the base. The second shuffling body is connected to the driving element. The driving element can drive the second shuffling body to be lowered to the first position or can drive the second shuffling body to be raised to the second position.

[0011] In the above-mentioned lifting structure of a shuffling machine, the base is provided with guide rails, and the second shuffling body is provided with sliders. The sliders are movably connected to the guide rails to guide the second shuffling body to lift relative to the base.
