Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of playing card entertainment equipment, in particular to a card feeding mechanism of a poker dealing machine. Background Art

[0002] The poker machine can separate and deal the poker cards, which improves the convenience of the game and greatly saves the preparation time of the poker game.

[0003] The card feed mechanism is an important component of the poker machine. When the poker machine is in use, the playing cards need to be placed into the flipped-up card box on the card feed mechanism. The card box is then flipped down so that the playing cards at the bottom of the playing cards pile come into contact with the rubber wheel. The rubber wheel then rotates and transports the playing cards in contact with it horizontally in sequence for subsequent card distribution.

[0004] Because the vertical movement restriction of the playing card stack in the card box directly affects the effectiveness of the rubber wheel in conveying the playing cards, a corresponding card pressing component is often provided in the card box to press the playing card stack to ensure the rubber wheel can convey the playing cards. However, due to the provision of the card pressing component, the card pressing component needs to be flipped up before the playing card stack is placed in the card box. If the above operation is performed manually, it will not only greatly affect the user experience of the poker machine, but also may cause the user to forget to operate it, thus affecting the quality of subsequent card dealing. If a separate drive device is provided for driving, it will increase the manufacturing cost and structural complexity, and may also have a certain degree of impact on the structural layout, thereby increasing the installation space requirement.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through examples. The following examples are provided to explain the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

[0030] See also Figures 1 - 9 The card feeding mechanism of the poker dealing machine in this embodiment includes a box body 1 for placing a stack of playing cards and a driving mechanism 2. The box body 1 is rotatably set on the frame. The driving mechanism 2 is used to drive the box body 1 to rotate relative to the frame. A pressing plate 3 is rotatably connected to the box body 1. A torsion spring 31 is provided between the pressing plate 3 and the box body 1 for applying a force to the pressing plate 3 to clamp the stack of playing cards between the pressing plate 3 and the box body 1. When the box body 1 rotates relative to the frame, the pressing plate 3 is rotated relative to the box body 1 through the toggle mechanism 4.

[0031] When a poker stack needs to be placed in the poker dealing machine, the driving mechanism 2 drives the box body 1 to rotate relative to the frame, so that the poker stack insertion port on the box body 1 changes from a horizontal orientation to a vertical orientation. In this process, the pressing plate 3 is rotated relative to the box body 1 by the toggle mechanism 4, so that the pressing plate 3 is moved out of the cavity of the box body 1, and then the poker stack is placed in the box body 1. The box body 1 is then driven to reset by the driving mechanism 2. In this process, the pressing plate 3 re-enters the cavity of the box body 1 through the toggle mechanism 4, and the poker stack is clamped between the pressing plate 3 and the box body 1, thereby completing the placement of the poker stack in the poker dealing machine.

[0032] See also Figures 3 - 5 The driving mechanism 2 includes a rotating piece 21, which is rotatably arranged on the frame. A driving motor 22 is installed on the frame to drive the rotating piece 21 to rotate relative to the frame. The rotating piece 21 and the box body 1 are connected by a connecting piece 23, and the two ends of the connecting piece 23 are hinged to the rotating piece 21 and the box body 1 respectively.

[0033] When in use, the driving motor 22 drives the rotating piece 21 to rotate, so that the rotating piece 21 pushes the box body 1 via the connecting piece 23, so that the box body 1 rotates relative to the frame, that is, when the driving motor 22 drives the rotating piece 21 to rotate upward (such as Figure 5 As shown in FIG, the rotating piece 21 drives the box body 1 to rotate upward relative to the frame, so that the opening of the box body 1 for placing the playing card pile changes from a horizontal orientation to a vertical orientation. At this time, the playing card pile can be placed into the box body 1, and when the driving motor 22 drives the rotating piece 21 to rotate downward and return to its original position, the rotating piece 21 drives the box body 1 to return to its original position, completing the placement of the playing card pile into the poker dealing machine.

[0034] See also Figure 3 、 Figure 4, the connecting piece 23 includes a first piece body 51 and a second piece body 52. The bottom end of the first piece body 51 is hinged to the rotating piece 21. At least two first threaded holes 53 are provided at the top end of the first piece body 51. A first waist-shaped hole 54 is provided at the bottom end of the second piece body 52. A first fixing bolt 55 adapted to the first threaded hole 53 is passed through the first waist-shaped hole 54. The first piece body 51 and the second piece body 52 are fixed by the first fixing bolt 55. The top end of the second piece body 52 is hinged to the box body 1. Through the structural arrangement between the first piece body 51 and the second piece body 52, the length of the connecting piece 23 can be adjusted, which not only ensures the driving effect of the driving mechanism 2 on the box body 1, but also reduces the risk of inconvenient assembly of the device caused by manufacturing errors between components, reduces manufacturing losses and ensures the assembly efficiency of the device.

[0035] See Figure 6 , Figure 7 , two extension pieces 61 are provided on the box body 1 and are symmetrically arranged left and right with respect to the box body 1. A rotating rod 62 is rotatably connected between the two extension pieces 61. At least two second threaded holes 63 are provided on the rotating rod 62 along its radial direction. Second waist-shaped holes 64 corresponding to the second threaded holes 63 one by one are provided at the outer end of the pressing piece 3. A second fixing bolt 65 adapted to the second threaded hole 63 is passed through the second waist-shaped hole 64. The pressing piece 3 and the rotating rod 62 are fixed by the second fixing bolt 65. Through the structural arrangement between the pressing piece 3 and the box body 1, the length of the pressing piece 3 located inside the box body 1 can be adjusted, so as to ensure the accuracy of the position of the inner end of the pressing piece 3 inside the box body 1, ensure the restricting effect of the inner end of the pressing piece 3 on the poker stack inside the box body 1, and thus facilitate the subsequent card dealing operation of the device.

[0036] See Figure 7 , the box body 1 includes a bottom piece 11. First side pieces 12 are integrally connected to both the left and right ends of the bottom piece 11. A second side piece 13 is provided between the two first side pieces 12. The second side piece 13 is integrally connected to the outer end of the bottom piece 11. The first side pieces 12 and the second side piece 13 are both perpendicular to the bottom piece 11. The two extension pieces 61 are respectively integrally connected to the two first side pieces 12. A through hole 14 is provided on the top edge of the second side piece 13. The inner end of the pressing piece 3 passes through the through hole 14 and is located in the accommodation space formed by the bottom piece 11, the first side pieces 12 and the second side piece 13. Through the structural arrangement of the box body 1, the manufacturing difficulty of the box body 1 and the assembly difficulty of each component on the box body 1 are reduced, and while ensuring the manufacturing efficiency, the storage effect on the poker stack is also ensured.

[0037] See Figure 7 , Figure 8The inner edge of the bottom film 11 is provided with a plurality of grooves 15 for accommodating the rubber wheel, which ensures the contact between the rubber wheel and the playing cards in the box body 1, thereby ensuring the conveying effect of the rubber wheel on the playing cards.

[0038] See also Figure 9 The toggle mechanism 4 includes a toggle piece 41 and a supporting column 42. One end of the toggle piece 41 is sleeved on the rotating rod 62 and cannot rotate. The supporting column 42 is installed on the frame and is located on the rotation track of the other end of the toggle piece 41.

[0039] When the box body 1 is rotated upward relative to the frame under the action of the driving mechanism 2, the toggle plate 41 will contact the abutting column 42, so that under the restriction of the abutting column 42, the toggle plate 41 drives the rotating rod 62 to rotate relative to the box body 1, so that the pressing plate 3 is flipped outward relative to the box body 1, reducing the obstruction caused by the pressing plate 3 to the stack of playing cards being placed in the box body 1. At this time, the pressing plate 3 is disengaged from the cavity of the box body 1 and the torsion spring 31 is tightened, and in the process of the box body 1 rotating downward and resetting, the abutting column 42 releases the abutting restriction on the toggle plate 41, so that the rotating rod 62 is rotated and reset relative to the box body 1 under the action of the torsion spring 31 restoring its original state, and the pressing plate 3 is placed inwardly into the cavity of the box body 1 and abuts on the stack of playing cards, ensuring the subsequent card dealing operation of the device.
