[0002] Playing cards are a widely popular card game, typically consisting of 52 regular cards (excluding the Joker and Jack), one Joker, and one Jack, totaling 54 cards. These cards are divided into four suits: spades, hearts, clubs, and diamonds, with each suit consisting of 13 cards, representing the 13 points from Ace (representing 1 or 14) to King (representing 13). In addition, the Joker and Jack are special cards, often considered wild cards or possessing special functions, depending on the rules of the game. Playing cards is not only a form of entertainment but also contains a wealth of knowledge about mathematics, probability, and strategy. During the game, players must use their intelligence and skills to analyze and judge the situation and develop the optimal strategy. Therefore, playing cards is also considered a tool for training thinking and decision-making skills. Overall, playing cards is a card game with a long history and widespread influence. It not only provides entertainment and fun, but also promotes the development of mathematics, probability, and strategy.

Specific implementation manners

[0027] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1-3 , the present utility model provides a technical solution:

[0029] An automatic sorting machine for playing card production, comprising:

[0030] Main body structure; the main body structure includes a frame 1 and a conveying roller 2, and the conveying roller 2 is rotatably installed on the frame 1 for conveying the processed playing cards;

[0031] It further includes a detection mechanism for detecting defective playing cards; the detection mechanism includes a support plate 3 and an industrial camera 4. The support plate 3 is arranged on the frame 1, and the support plate 3 is designed in a U shape. The industrial camera 4 is installed on the inner wall of the support plate 3 for collecting images of the passing playing cards for detection. A control panel is also installed on the top of the support plate 3;

[0032] The machine also includes a sorting mechanism for sorting out defective products. The sorting mechanism consists of a side plate 7 and a push plate 9. The side plate 7 is welded to the frame 1 and located on one side of the support plate 3. The push plate 9 is located on the other side of the support plate 3 and is driven by a cylinder 8. The cylinder 8 is mounted on the outer wall of the side plate 7, and the end of the piston rod of the cylinder 8 passes through the side plate 7 and is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the side plate 7. The side plate 7 is designed to be arched, and the vertical distance between the lower end of the side plate 7 and the uppermost end of the conveyor roller 2 is 5-10 mm.

[0033] When in use, the finished playing card products are conveyed by the conveyor rollers 2. When the products pass through the inspection mechanism, the industrial camera 4 collects images of the products for appearance inspection. If defective products are found, the sorting mechanism receives the processing signal, and the cylinder 8 drives the push plate 9 to remove the conveyed defective products, thereby preventing the defective products from entering the market.

[0034] In general, this device has a simple structure and is easy to use. Through the cooperation of the main structure, detection mechanism and sorting mechanism, it can sort and remove defective playing card products. Compared with manual sorting, it has higher sorting efficiency and accuracy, and can effectively prevent the outflow of defective products.

[0035] Among them, the industrial camera 4 has built-in image recognition module, image acquisition module and data transmission module;

[0036] The control panel includes a display screen 6 and control buttons, and has a built-in processor, image recognition software, memory and data receiving module. The industrial camera 4 is communicatively connected to the control panel.

[0037] The industrial camera 4 captures images of the product and transmits them to the control panel. The processor of the control panel is used to process the images captured by the industrial camera 4 and input the processed image data into the recognition software for recognition. The recognition software determines whether the product is qualified by identifying the appearance of the product;

[0038] The control method of the control panel of this application is to use a PLC controller built into the control panel. The control circuit of the PLC controller can be implemented by simple programming by technicians in this field, which is common knowledge in this field. In addition, this application document is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so this application document will no longer explain the control method and circuit connection in detail.

[0039] Also, see Figure 2 :

[0040] The inner wall of the support plate 3 is further provided with fill lights 5 , and multiple groups of fill lights 5 are arranged around the industrial camera 4 .

[0041] By setting up the fill light 5, sufficient lighting conditions can be provided for the industrial camera 4, which is convenient for image capture of the product. The industrial camera 4 can be installed on the inner top and both side walls of the support plate 3, and can realize multi-angle image capture of the product.

[0042] Also, see Figure 3 :

[0043] An infrared radiation sensor 12 is installed on the side plate 7 and the baffle 10 , and a transmitting end of the infrared radiation sensor 12 is located on one side of the side plate 7 , and a receiving end of the infrared radiation sensor 12 is located on one side of the baffle 10 .

[0044] The setting of the infrared counter-radiation sensor 12 can detect the conveying position of defective products. The infrared counter-radiation sensor 12 is electrically connected to the control panel. When a defective product is detected, the control panel will start the infrared counter-radiation sensor 12. When the defective product passes through the transmitting end and the receiving end of the infrared counter-radiation sensor 12, the infrared rays are blocked, thereby triggering the sorting condition. At this time, the cylinder 8 works to drive the push plate 9 to remove the defective products. This design makes the sorting and removal of defective products in this device more accurate.

[0045] For further information, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 :

[0046] The other side of the frame 1 is also equipped with a baffle 10 corresponding to the side panel 7. A bevel 11 is positioned between the baffles 10 to guide defective playing cards. The frame 1 also includes a collection mechanism for collecting defective playing cards. This mechanism comprises a weighing platform 13 and a collection basket 14. The weighing platform 13 is located on one side of the frame 1, and the collection basket 14 is placed on the weighing platform 13. The weighing platform 13 has a built-in load cell to support the collection basket 14. A column 15 is installed on one side of the weighing platform 13, and a warning light 16 is mounted on the top of the column 15.

[0047] By setting a baffle 10 with an inclined block 11 corresponding to the side plate 7, and cooperating with a weighing platform 13 and a collection basket 14, the push plate 9 drops through the inclined block 11 into the collection basket 14 when rejecting defective products, so that subsequent staff can carry out the same processing;

[0048] Moreover, the collection basket 14 is placed on a weighing platform 13 with a weighing sensor. The weighing platform 13 can weigh the collected defective products and transmit the signal to the control panel. The staff can set the weight threshold through programming. When the set weight is reached, the control panel gives a signal to make the prompt light 16 at the top of the column 15 light up to remind the staff to recycle in time to avoid the accumulation of too many defective products causing the collection basket 14 to be overweight or the product to fall.

[0049] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention. Ordinary technicians in this field can change, modify, replace and modify the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
