Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of playing card shuffling, and more specifically to an automatic playing card shuffler. Background Art
[0002] Playing cards are one of the common entertainment items. During the process of playing, shuffling operations are involved. For playing card shuffling devices, existing similar shufflers can be divided into two categories. One is the manual type, which uses hand cranking to shuffle the cards, being rather troublesome and time-consuming. The other is the electric type, which needs to keep pressing the power button for the shuffler to run and will stop when the corresponding power button is released. There is a lack of functions such as automatically starting to shuffle when there are cards and automatically turning off when there are no cards. Therefore, the functions of existing similar devices are relatively single and need to be further improved. Summary of the Utility Model
[0003] Therefore, to solve the above deficiencies, the utility model provides an automatic playing card shuffler here. This inductive electric shuffler can automatically detect whether there are cards by adding sensors. It will automatically start to shuffle when there are cards and automatically turn off when there are no cards, reducing manual operations.
[0004] The utility model is implemented as follows. An automatic playing card shuffler is constructed. The shuffler consists of a housing and a base. The base is located at the bottom of the housing. A shuffling chamber is formed inside the housing. The upper left and right sides of the shuffler are card feeding bins. Shuffling mechanisms are provided on both the left and right sides inside the housing.
[0005] The shuffling mechanism includes rollers and motors. The rollers are located at the entrances of the corresponding card feeding bins. Coaxial transmission wheels are arranged on the rollers. The transmission end of the motor drives the transmission wheel through a transmission belt, thereby driving the rollers to rotate at the card feeding bins.
[0006] The shuffling mechanism also includes shuffling sensors. Shuffling sensors are arranged beside the corresponding rollers to sense the situation of the playing cards on the card feeding bins. The output ends of the shuffling sensors are connected to a control board, and the control board is connected to the corresponding motors. When playing cards are sensed, the shuffling mechanism is automatically started; when no playing cards are sensed, the shuffling mechanism is automatically stopped, so as to realize the automatic start and stop of the shuffler, making the shuffling process more intelligent, convenient and energy-saving.
[0007] Furthermore, multiple wave-shaped protrusions are formed around the rollers to facilitate driving the playing cards into the shuffling chamber during shuffling.
[0008] Furthermore, a card discharging blocking baffle is arranged at the upper part of the shuffling chamber to facilitate the automatic discharge of the playing cards into the shuffling chamber during shuffling. A power button is arranged on the card discharging blocking baffle for convenient operation by personnel.
[0009] Furthermore, a card pushing unit is arranged in the shuffling chamber to take out the shuffled playing cards.
[0010] Furthermore, a battery is arranged in the base, and a battery cover plate is arranged at the battery position.
[0011] The utility model has the following advantages: In an automatic poker shuffler provided by this application, after improvement, the left and right sides of the shuffler are card feeding bins, rollers are arranged on the card bins for shuffling, and a shuffling sensor is arranged beside the rollers to sense the situation of the poker cards on the card bins. When the poker cards are sensed, the shuffling mechanism is automatically started; when the poker cards are not sensed, the shuffling mechanism is automatically stopped. To achieve the automatic start and stop of the shuffler, making the shuffling process more intelligent, convenient, and energy-saving. The advantages and beneficial effects of this patent lie in automatically turning on and off through the sensor, reducing the operation steps. Description of the Drawings
