[0033] The present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] This specific embodiment is only an interpretation of the present utility model, and it is not a limitation to the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without creative contributions according to needs after reading this specification, but as long as it is within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, it is protected by the patent law.

[0035] This embodiment relates to a card-dealing machine, referring to Figures 1-4 , including: housing 100, card-sending mechanism 200, card-sorting mechanism 300 and card-dealing mechanism 400. For the convenience of description and understanding, the direction in which the playing cards are dealt is taken as the front side, and the opposite direction is the rear side.

[0036] Among them, referring to Figures 1-2 , the housing 100 has a card bin 110 for accommodating playing cards, a card-taking and placing opening 120 located on the top side and / or rear side of the card bin 110, a card-sending opening 130 located on the front side of the bottom of the card bin 110, and a card-dealing opening 140 located on the front side of the housing 100 and corresponding to the card-sending opening 130. The playing cards are put into the card bin 110 through the card-taking and placing opening 120, and then sent out through the card-sending opening 130 and the card-dealing opening 140.

[0037] In this embodiment, the rear side (the side away from the card delivery port 130) and the top of the card bin 110 are both open structures, forming an open card bin 110, which makes the process of placing and taking cards simpler and easier. Moreover, since the rear side of the card bin 110 is an open structure, the length of the playing cards placed in the card bin 110 can exceed the length of the card bin 110, and it can be adapted to more types of playing cards. Of course, in other embodiments, the card bin 110 can also have only an open top or rear side structure.

[0038] Further, referring to Figure 4 , the bottom surface of the card bin 110 is an inclined surface that slopes from the open side towards the card delivery port 130. The open side of the bottom surface of the card bin 110 is higher, so that the playing cards always tend to the card delivery port 130 when the housing 100 rotates. Therefore, when the card dispenser rotates to deal cards, the playing cards are not easily thrown out.

[0039] Referring to Figures 1-2 , the card delivery mechanism 200 is arranged at the bottom of the card bin 110 and is used to deliver the playing cards in the card bin 110 to the card delivery port 130. Referring to Figure 6 , the card distributing mechanism 300 includes: a lower card distributing member 320 arranged below the card delivery port 130, and an upper card distributing member 310 rotatably arranged above the card delivery port 130. Referring to Figure 4 , the card dealing mechanism 400 is arranged at the bottom of the card bin 110, between the card distributing mechanism 300 and the card dealing port 140, and is used to deal the playing cards that have passed through the card distributing mechanism 300 from the card dealing port 140.

[0040] In this embodiment, only one set of card distributing mechanisms 300 is arranged at the middle position of the card delivery port 130. The card distributing mechanism 300 only performs operations such as card distribution and card rubbing on the playing cards at the middle position of the card delivery port 130, and no other restrictions are imposed on the two sides of the card delivery port 130. When the card distributing mechanism 300 faces some used playing cards that may be bent and deformed on the left and right sides or some playing cards with a relatively narrow width, it can still produce a card distribution effect on the playing cards. Since there is a relatively large height on both sides for the bent playing cards to enter, it can effectively avoid card jamming and improve the compatibility and card distribution smoothness of the card dispenser. Of course, in other embodiments, the card distributing components can also be arranged at other positions of the card delivery port 130 or multiple sets can be arranged.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, referring to Figures 5-9, the upper card-sorting component 310 includes: a frame 311, a first card-sorting roller 312, a second card-sorting roller 313, a first guide block 314, and a second guide block 315. Among them, the frame 311 is installed inside the housing 100; the first card-sorting roller 312 is rotatably assembled on the lower side of the frame 311 and corresponds to the lower card-sorting component 320; the second card-sorting roller 313 is rotatably assembled on the lower side of the frame 311, located in front of the first card-sorting roller 312, and its lower surface is higher than the lower surface of the first card-sorting roller 312; the first guide block 314 is arranged on the lower side of the frame 311 and between the first card-sorting roller 312 and the second card-sorting roller 313; the second guide block 315 is arranged on the lower side of the frame 311, between the first guide block 314 and the second card-sorting roller 313, and its lower surface is lower than the lower surface of the first guide block 314. In some embodiments, the positions of the two guide blocks can be understood as being set between the axes of the first card-sorting roller 312 and the second card-sorting roller 313, that is, the two guide blocks can overlap with the edges of the two card-sorting rollers in the length direction (the card-dealing direction).

[0042] The first guide block 314 has a first guide inclined surface 3141 that is inclined downward in the card-dealing direction, and the second guide block 315 has a second guide inclined surface 3151 that is inclined downward in the card-dealing direction. When the playing cards pass through the card-sorting mechanism 300, the playing cards pass between the first card-sorting roller 312 and the lower card-sorting component 320, driving the first card-sorting roller 312 to roll. Then, the playing cards pass through the first guide block 314 and the second guide block 315 under the guiding action of the first guide inclined surface 3141 and the second guide inclined surface 3151 in sequence, and then drive the second card-sorting roller 313 to roll, and finally enter the card-dealing mechanism 400.

[0043] By providing the lower card-sorting component 320, and setting the upper card-sorting component 310 to include: the first card-sorting roller 312 and the second card-sorting roller 313, the playing cards driven by the card-feeding mechanism 200 in the card bin 110 to the card-feeding port 130 will first be sorted for the first time under the combined action of the lower card-sorting component 320 and the first card-sorting roller 312, and then the second card-sorting roller 313 will sort the playing cards again for the second time. The two-time sorting greatly reduces the possibility of the playing cards being stuck and dealt, ensuring a good card-dealing effect and an accurate number of cards dealt; the setting of the two-time sorting also makes it unnecessary to be too strict in the first sorting, improving the tolerance for playing cards of different thicknesses and the adaptability of the card-dealing machine. And in the second sorting, the playing cards will be sorted again, ensuring the card-sorting effect of the card-sorting mechanism 300. Splitting the first sorting into two sorts can also improve the smoothness of sorting.

[0044] For the secondary card dealing, card dealing rollers that can roll along the card dealing direction are adopted for the card dealing operation. Since it is rolling friction, it can effectively reduce the friction between the playing cards and the card dealing rollers, making the card dealing process smoother, avoiding card jams, reducing the wear of the two card dealing rollers during the card dealing process, and reducing the wear of the playing cards, effectively extending the service life of the card dealing machine and the playing cards.

[0045] By arranging a first guiding block 314 and a second guiding block 315 between the first card dealing roller 312 and the second card dealing roller 313, and respectively arranging a first guiding inclined surface 3141 and a second guiding inclined surface 3151 on the first guiding block 314 and the second guiding block 315, the playing cards passing through the first card dealing roller 312 can smoothly contact the second card dealing roller 313 through the first guiding inclined surface 3141 and the second guiding inclined surface 3151, so as to ensure that each playing card undergoes secondary card dealing; in addition, the setting of the first guiding inclined surface 3141 can also play a role in leveling the playing cards with the front end warped, helping the playing cards pass through the second guiding block 315 and the second card dealing roller 313 smoothly; if only the second guiding block 315 is set, the playing cards passing through the first card dealing roller 312 and with the front end warped will hit the second guiding inclined surface 3151 in a warped posture, easily resulting in card jamming. It should be noted that after the playing cards pass through the first card dealing roller 312, their front ends are prone to warping, so it is very necessary to set the first guiding block 314.

[0046] In this embodiment, referring to Figures 5-9 , there are two first card dealing rollers 312, symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the upper card dealing member 310. The two groups of card dealing rollers can rotate independently, enabling the playing cards to pass through more smoothly. The second card dealing roller 313 is located between the two first card dealing rollers 312, enabling the second card dealing roller 313 to smoothly contact the playing cards passing through the first card dealing rollers 312, ensuring that the card dealing mechanism 300 achieves the effect of secondary card dealing.

[0047] In this embodiment, referring to Figures 5-9, there is one first guiding block 314, which is located between two first card-sorting rollers 312 and does not contact either of the two first card-sorting rollers 312. In addition, the first guiding slope 3141 of the first guiding block 314 overlaps with the edge of the first card-sorting roller 312 in the length direction (the card-dealing direction). Such a setting saves space, makes the structure more compact, and does not affect the card-sorting guiding effect. There are two second guiding blocks 315, which are located on both sides of the second card-sorting roller 313. The second guiding slope 3151 of the second guiding block 315 does not overlap with the first guiding slope 3141 in the length direction (the card-dealing direction), but overlaps with the edge of the second card-sorting roller 313. The setting of the two second guiding blocks 315 makes the contact area between the playing cards and the second guiding slope 3151 larger, ensures the force balance on both left and right sides of the playing cards, reduces the deformation of the playing cards caused by the impact of the playing cards on the second guiding slope 3151, and can better guide the playing cards.

[0048] In this embodiment, the angles between the first guiding slope 3141 and the horizontal plane and between the second guiding slope 3151 and the horizontal plane are both 30°, enabling the two guiding slopes to well realize the guiding function for the playing cards, ensuring that the playing cards can smoothly contact the second card-sorting roller 313 and achieving the effect of secondary card sorting. Of course, in other embodiments, the angles between the first guiding slope 3141 and the horizontal plane and between the second guiding slope 3151 and the horizontal plane can be set to different angles. Additionally, the angles between the first guiding slope 3141 and the horizontal plane and between the second guiding slope 3151 and the horizontal plane can also be set to 20 degrees, 25 degrees, 35 degrees, 40 degrees, 45 degrees, 50 degrees, 60 degrees, and so on.

[0049] Refer to Figures 5-9 , in this embodiment, the lower card-sorting member 320 includes: a lower card-sorting roller 321 disposed on the lower side of the card-sending port 130 and capable of rolling along the card-dealing direction. During the operation of the card-dealing machine, the lower card-sorting roller 321 can rotate along the card-dealing direction, effectively reducing the friction between the playing cards and the lower card-sorting member 320, making the process of the playing cards passing through the lower card-sorting member 320 smoother, and ensuring a good card-sorting and card-dealing effect. As a preferred solution, the lower card-sorting member 320 further includes: a card-sorting driving device (not shown). The card-sorting driving device is power-connected to the lower card-sorting roller 321 to drive the lower card-sorting roller 321 to rotate, so that the lower card-sorting roller 321 can drive the playing cards to move, enabling the playing cards to more smoothly enter the card-sending port 130 and pass through the card-sorting mechanism 300, improving the card-sorting efficiency of the card-sorting mechanism 300, and ensuring the smooth operation of the card-dealing machine.

[0050] Refer to Figures 5-9, in this embodiment, a plurality of left - right penetrating grooves 3211 are arranged at intervals on the circumferential side of the lower card - distributing roller 321. The arrangement of the grooves 3211 enables the lower card - distributing roller 321 to roll the playing cards into the card - feeding port 130 through these grooves 3211 even when there is some dust on the lower card - distributing roller 321, ensuring the good operation of the card - distributing mechanism 300. The cross - section of the groove 3211 is V - shaped.

[0051] Refer to Figures 5-9 , in this embodiment, the frame 311 is rotatably connected to the housing 100 above the front end thereof. An elastic member 330 is arranged between the upper surface of the frame 311 near the rear end and the housing 100. The elastic member 330 presses the rear end of the frame 311 towards the lower card - distributing member 320, so that the first card - distributing roller 312 is pressed downward to the upper side of the lower card - distributing member 320. During the card - distributing process, the first card - distributing roller 312 can float upward. The floating setting of the first card - distributing roller 312 enables the card - distributing structure to adapt to playing cards of different thicknesses. The first card - distributing roller 312 can float up and down according to the thickness of the playing cards to allow playing cards of different thicknesses to pass through, without the need to adjust the card - distributing mechanism 300 according to the thickness of the playing cards, which is more convenient and worry - free. When the lower card - distributing roller 321 has power, the first card - distributing roller 312 can press the playing cards towards the lower card - distributing roller 321 direction, which can increase the friction between the playing cards and the lower card - distributing roller 321, enabling the playing cards to be better driven by the lower card - distributing roller 321 and thus smoothly enter the card - feeding port 130 to achieve a good card - distributing and dealing effect. The second card - distributing roller 313 is arranged at the front end of the frame 311. During the up - and - down floating process of the first card - distributing roller 312, the position change of the second card - distributing roller 313 is relatively small, ensuring that the second card - distributing roller 313 can smoothly achieve the card - distributing effect.

[0052] Refer to Figures 5-9 , in this embodiment, a shock - absorbing layer 340 is arranged on the upper surface of the frame 311. Since the card - distributing mechanism 300 is provided with a floating structure, certain noise will be generated during the up - and - down floating process. The setting of the shock - absorbing layer 340 can play a certain sound - eliminating effect. In addition, the shock - absorbing function of the shock - absorbing layer 340 will also improve the service life of the card - distributing mechanism 300.

[0053] To facilitate the installation of the elastic member 330, a limiting groove 3111 for installing the elastic member 330 is provided on the upper surface of the frame body 311. In this embodiment, the elastic member 330 is a spring. A shock-absorbing layer 341 is provided on the shock-absorbing layer 340 and is placed on the periphery of the limiting groove 3111. Since the shock-absorbing layer 341 is placed inside the periphery of the limiting groove 3111, it facilitates the installation of the shock-absorbing layer 340 and also helps to prevent the shock-absorbing layer 340 from falling off relative to the frame body 311. In addition, the front end of the shock-absorbing layer 340 extends downward to form an extended shock-absorbing layer 342 that semi-wraps the front side of the frame body 311. The extended shock-absorbing layer 342 prevents the front end of the frame body 311 from directly contacting the inside of the housing 100 and also plays a role in shock absorption. The shock-absorbing layer 340 is made of a flexible material. Specifically, in this embodiment, the shock-absorbing layer 340 is made of PET material. In other embodiments, the shock-absorbing layer 340 can also be made of silicone or other soft rubber materials.

[0054] Referring to Figure 10 , in this embodiment, the first card-dealing roller 312 includes: a hard inner sleeve 3121 rotatably assembled on the lower side of the frame body 311, and a soft outer sleeve 3122 sleeved on the outside of the hard inner sleeve 3121. By setting the outermost side of the first card-dealing roller 312 as the soft outer sleeve 3122, it also has an effect of shock absorption and helps to protect the first card-dealing roller 312, the lower card-dealing roller 321, and the playing cards. In this embodiment, the hard inner sleeve 3121 is made of copper, and the soft outer sleeve 3122 is made of soft rubber. In other embodiments, the soft outer sleeve 3122 can also be made of silicone or PET material, etc.

[0055] The above is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention and not to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent replacements made by those of ordinary skill in the art to the technical solution of the present invention shall be covered by the scope of the claims of the present invention as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
