Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chess and card equipment, in particular to a card scraping mechanism capable of accelerating card shuffling. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's living quality, automatic mahjong machines are increasingly used in chess and card entertainment places due to their convenient operation and reliable use. In the prior art, the card shuffling mechanism of an automatic mahjong machine includes a card shuffling disc, a support base, a card scraping strip, and a driving device for driving the card shuffling disc to rotate.

[0003] When the existing mahjong machine shuffles cards, it mainly uses the cooperation of the card shuffling disc and the card scraping strip to sweep the mahjong cards on the card shuffling disc. However, the whole process is carried out at a constant speed. In the second half of the card shuffling process, there are fewer mahjong cards on the card shuffling disc, and the sliding speed from the surface of the card shuffling disc is slower, resulting in a longer card shuffling time.

[0004] Therefore, a card scraping mechanism capable of accelerating card shuffling is proposed. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a card scraping mechanism capable of accelerating card shuffling to solve the problems mentioned in the above background art.

[0006] The utility model specifically adopts the following technical solutions to achieve the above purpose:

[0007] A card scraping mechanism capable of accelerating card shuffling includes a fixed base. The surface of the fixed base is fixedly connected with a card shuffling disc. The middle part of the fixed base is rotatably connected with a mounting column. The surface of the mounting column is sleeved with an acceleration component for controlling the rotation of the card scraping component. The surface of the mounting column is provided with a positioning component for limiting the acceleration component.

[0008] Further, the card scraping component includes a mounting disc, and the mounting disc is movably sleeved on the mounting column. The surface of the mounting disc is fixedly connected with a card scraping strip, and the number of the card scraping strips is multiple.

[0009] Further, the acceleration component includes a torsion spring, and both ends of the torsion spring are respectively installed on the mounting column and the mounting disc. The bottom surface of the mounting disc is fixedly connected with a second magnet. The top surface of the fixed base is fixedly connected with a first magnet, and the first magnet and the second magnet are magnetically connected.

[0010] Further, the positioning component includes a clamping strip, and the clamping strip is fixedly connected with one end of the torsion spring. A chute is opened on the surface of the mounting column, and the inner wall of the chute is movably inserted with the surface of the clamping strip. The other end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected with a connecting piece. A gasket is attached to the top surface of the connecting piece. A screw is threadedly connected to the top surface of the mounting disc, and the screw is attached to the gasket.

[0011] Furthermore, a pressing cover is threadedly connected to the surface of the mounting post, and the ground surface of the pressing cover is in contact with the surface of the coil spring.

[0012] Furthermore, a protective cover is movably sleeved on the surface of the mounting post, and the protective cover is fixedly connected to the pressing cover by bolts. The mounting post is a hollow tubular structure.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0014] The acceleration assembly is stably installed on the surface of the mounting post through the positioning assembly. When starting to shuffle the cards, the mahjong tiles will fall on the surface of the shuffling tray. The driving mechanism inside the mahjong machine controls the rotation of the shuffling tray. Under the guiding action of the card scraping assembly, the mahjong tiles will slide from the surface of the shuffling tray to the placement position inside the mahjong machine, thus realizing card shuffling. During the rotation of the card scraping assembly, the acceleration assembly will store energy. When the shuffling tray rotates several circles, the energy stored by the acceleration assembly will be automatically released, controlling the card scraping assembly to rotate rapidly in the opposite direction of the rotation of the shuffling tray, thereby clearing the remaining mahjong tiles on the surface of the shuffling tray, accelerating the card shuffling, achieving the effect of accelerating the sweeping and dropping of the mahjong tiles on the shuffling tray during use, shortening the time-consuming of the latter stage of card shuffling, and effectively improving the card shuffling efficiency compared with the existing mahjong machines.

[0023] The electrical components appearing in this article are all electrically connected to an external main controller and 220V mains power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that plays a control role.

[0025] Such as Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, a scraping mechanism for accelerating shuffling includes a fixed seat 1. A shuffling plate 2 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed seat 1. An installation column 4 is rotatably connected to the middle of the fixed seat 1. An acceleration component 5 for controlling the rotation of the scraping component 3 is sleeved on the surface of the installation column 4. A positioning component 6 for limiting the acceleration component 5 is arranged on the surface of the installation column 4. More specifically, the acceleration component 5 is stably installed on the surface of the installation column 4 through the positioning component 6. When starting to shuffle the cards, the mahjong tiles will fall on the surface of the shuffling plate 2. The shuffling plate 2 is controlled to rotate by the driving mechanism inside the mahjong machine. Under the guiding action of the scraping component 3, the mahjong tiles will slide from the surface of the shuffling plate 2 to the placement position inside the mahjong machine, thus realizing shuffling. During the rotation of the scraping component 3, the acceleration component 5 will store energy. When the shuffling plate 2 rotates several circles, the energy stored by the acceleration component 5 will be automatically released, controlling the scraping component 3 to quickly rotate in the opposite direction of the rotation of the shuffling plate 2, thereby clearing the remaining mahjong tiles on the surface of the shuffling plate 2, and thus accelerating the shuffling.

[0026] The scraping component 3 includes an installation plate 301, and the installation plate 301 is movably sleeved on the installation column 4. Scraping strips 302 are fixedly connected to the surface of the installation plate 301, and the number of the scraping strips 302 is multiple. It should be noted that when the shuffling plate 2 rotates, it will drive the installation plate 301 and the scraping strips 302 to rotate. Under the guiding action of the scraping strips 302, the mahjong tiles on the surface of the shuffling plate 2 will slide from above the shuffling plate 2 and fall into the placement position inside the mahjong machine, thus realizing shuffling.

[0027] The acceleration component 5 includes a torsion spring 501, and the two ends of the torsion spring 501 are respectively installed on the installation column 4 and the installation plate 301. A second magnet 503 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the installation plate 301. A first magnet 502 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the fixed seat 1, and the first magnet 502 and the second magnet 503 are magnetically connected. More specifically, in the initial state, the first magnet 502 and the second magnet 503 are mutually attracted. When the driving mechanism inside the mahjong machine drives the shuffling plate 2 to rotate, it will drive the installation plate 301 and the scraping strips 302 to rotate. At the same time, the installation plate 301 will pull one end of the torsion spring 501 to rotate. Since the other end of the torsion spring 501 is installed on the surface of the installation column 4, the torsion spring 501 will be compressed. When the shuffling plate 2 rotates a certain number of circles, there are fewer mahjong tiles remaining on the surface of the shuffling plate 2. At this time, the elastic potential energy stored by the torsion spring 501 is relatively large, which will be greater than the attraction between the first magnet 502 and the second magnet 503. The first magnet 502 and the second magnet 503 will be separated from each other. Under the elastic force of the torsion spring 501, it will push the installation plate 301 and the scraping strips 302 to rotate. Since the rotation directions of the scraping strips 302 and the shuffling plate 2 are different, it will accelerate the pushing away of the mahjong tiles on the surface of the shuffling plate 2, and thus the accelerated shuffling can be realized.

[0028] The positioning component 6 includes a clamping strip 601, and the clamping strip 601 is fixedly connected to one end of the coil spring 501. A chute 605 is formed on the surface of the mounting post 4, and the inner wall of the chute 605 is movably inserted into the surface of the clamping strip 601. The other end of the coil spring 501 is fixedly connected to a connecting piece 602. A gasket 604 is attached to the top surface of the connecting piece 602. A screw 603 is threadedly connected to the top surface of the mounting plate 301, and the screw 603 is attached to the gasket 604. It should be noted that by inserting the clamping strip 601 into the interior of the chute 605, one end of the coil spring 501 is fixed to the surface of the mounting post 4, and then by connecting the screw 603 to the mounting plate 301, the connecting piece 602 can be fixed to the surface of the mounting plate 301, thus realizing the fixation of both ends of the coil spring 501.

[0029] A pressing cover 606 is threadedly connected to the surface of the mounting post 4, and the bottom surface of the pressing cover 606 is attached to the surface of the coil spring 501. More specifically, by rotating the pressing cover 606, the pressing cover 606 moves downward along the surface of the mounting post 4 until it fits against the top of the coil spring 501, thereby limiting the coil spring 501 and preventing it from moving upward.

[0030] A protective cover 7 is movably sleeved on the surface of the mounting post 4, and the protective cover 7 is fixedly connected to the pressing cover 606 by bolts. The mounting post 4 is a hollow tubular structure. It should be noted that the protective cover 7 covers the upper part of the pressing cover 606 to provide dust protection for the structure below the protective cover 7. By setting the mounting post 4 as a hollow structure, the wire can pass through the middle of the mounting post 4, which facilitates the installation of the control panel above the mounting post 4 and energization.

[0031] In summary: The acceleration component 5 is stably installed on the surface of the mounting post 4 through the positioning component 6. When starting to shuffle the cards, the mahjong tiles will fall on the surface of the shuffling plate 2. The driving mechanism inside the mahjong machine controls the rotation of the shuffling plate 2. Under the guiding action of the scraping component 3, the mahjong tiles will slide from the surface of the shuffling plate 2 to the placement position inside the mahjong machine, thus realizing shuffling. During the rotation of the scraping component 3, the acceleration component 5 will store energy. When the shuffling plate 2 rotates several circles, the energy stored in the acceleration component 5 will be automatically released, controlling the scraping component 3 to rotate rapidly in the opposite direction of the rotation of the shuffling plate 2, thereby clearing the remaining mahjong tiles on the surface of the shuffling plate 2, thus accelerating the shuffling. The effect of accelerating the sweeping and dropping of the mahjong tiles on the shuffling plate is achieved during use, thereby shortening the time-consuming of the latter stage of shuffling and effectively improving the shuffling efficiency compared with the existing mahjong machines.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments, and what is described in the above embodiments and the specification is only the principle of the present utility model.
