Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of poker machine card dealing structures, in particular to a novel poker machine card dealing structure with an anti-seismic function. Background Art

[0002] A miniature poker machine is a device placed on a tabletop that can perform rotational, directional card dealing. Its structure consists of two parts: the upper part rotates to deal cards, and the lower part remains stationary on the tabletop. Due to its compact size and the requirement for fast, smooth, and non-stuttering rotational card dealing, the poker machine's operational stability is highly demanding and a key design characteristic. Failure to do so can lead to the following common phenomena: A) card dealing may become stuck, or even prevented from being dealt; B) during the rotational dealing process, the chassis experiences rotational displacement due to the rotational torque of the upper part, affecting the smoothness of the card dealing process. However, existing poker machine dealing structures often only have a dealing mechanism, resulting in an inability to resist rotational vibration during the card dealing process. The present invention provides an optimized poker machine dealing structure with an effective anti-rotational vibration design. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the problem that the card dealing structure of the poker machine is mostly only a card dealing structure during use, resulting in the inability to resist rotational vibration during the card dealing process.

[0004] The technical solution of the utility model is: a new poker machine card dealing structure with a shock-resistant function, comprising a card dealing mechanism, a rotating mechanism, an anti-deformation component, a shock-absorbing component, and an anti-slip component; the rotating mechanism is arranged inside the card dealing mechanism; the anti-deformation component is fixedly installed on the side end of the rotating mechanism; the shock-absorbing component is fixedly installed on the lower end of the rotating mechanism; and the anti-slip component is fixedly installed on the upper end of the rotating mechanism.

[0005] Optimally, the card condition requirements are lowered, allowing for moderate deformation. This is crucial for smooth, uninterrupted card delivery, improving the machine's overall operational stability and a key technical indicator for evaluating poker machines. Furthermore, the machine's rotation speed can be increased, allowing for faster card dealing and a more engaging gaming experience. Different styles of poker machines can be customized by replacing different protective plates, significantly reducing manufacturing costs.

[0006] Preferably, the card dealing mechanism includes a first synchronous belt, a card feeding wheel, a card dealing wheel, a first limiting blade and a sloped support platform; the card feeding wheel is provided at the upper end of the first synchronous belt; the card dealing wheel is provided at the side end of the card feeding wheel; the first limiting blade is fixedly mounted at the side end of the card dealing wheel; the side end of the first limiting blade is provided with a sloped support platform, and the card dealing motor drives the card feeding wheel and the card dealing wheel to rotate at the same time through the first synchronous belt, and the playing cards are pushed forward by the friction force generated by the rotating card dealing wheel. After passing through the first limiting blade, the gap of the limiting blade only allows the card to pass through and continue to be pushed forward. When the playing cards are pushed to the card dealing wheel, the position sensor starts to work until the playing cards are completely away.

[0007] Preferably, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating motor, a second synchronous belt, a first pulley, a first chassis, a position sensor and a first grid rubber; a second synchronous belt is connected to the outside of the rotating motor, and the rotating motor drives the second pulley to rotate through the second synchronous belt. The second pulley is connected to the first chassis, and the first chassis is stationary on the table, which is equivalent to the rotating motor rotating around the first chassis.

[0008] Preferably, a first pulley is provided within the second synchronous belt; a first chassis is provided at the upper end of the first pulley; a position sensor is provided at the lower end of the first chassis; and a first grid rubber is fixedly mounted at the upper end of the first chassis. When the rotating position sensor passes through a notch in the first chassis, the system locates the dealing position. By combining the motion of the above mechanisms, degree-of-rotation directional dealing is achieved.

[0009] Preferably, the anti-deformation assembly includes a card box, a second limiting blade, and a rectangular support. The second limiting blade is provided on the upper side of the card box; a rectangular support is provided at the lower end of the second limiting blade. The two sides of the bottom of the card box are sunken, leaving a 5mm gap between the sunken surface and the limiting blade. When the playing card deforms downward by no more than 5mm in the width direction, it can pass smoothly. A 5mm gap is also left above the second limiting blade, allowing the playing card to pass smoothly even when deformed in the width direction. This structural solution solves the problem of playing cards passing through the second limiting blade when they undergo such deformation.

[0010] Preferably, the shock-absorbing assembly includes a second chassis, a second pulley, a shock-absorbing spring, a rotary bearing, and a constraint bearing; a second pulley is provided on the outside of the second chassis; a shock-absorbing spring is connected to the inside of the second pulley; a rotary bearing is provided inside the second chassis; a constraint bearing is provided inside the rotary bearing, and a shock-absorbing spring is placed between the second chassis and the second pulley. The rotational torque is first transmitted to the second pulley, and then transmitted to the second chassis by the second pulley. After the shock-absorbing spring is placed between the second pulley and the second chassis, the shock-absorbing spring is subjected to force before the rotational torque is transmitted to the second chassis, and then transmitted to the second chassis by the shock-absorbing spring. In this way, the rotational torque is gradually released, achieving an anti-seismic effect. Since the shock-absorbing springs are distributed in degrees, the elastic forces generated by the shock-absorbing springs cannot offset each other, and a radial resultant force will be generated at the center of rotation. The existence of the resultant force will increase the rotational resistance. The structure places a constraint bearing at the center of rotation, and uses the rigidity of the bearing itself to bear the radial resultant force, which satisfies the anti-seismic effect without affecting the rotation.

[0011] Preferably, the anti-slip component includes a second grid rubber, a third chassis and a metal counterweight ring; the third chassis is provided on the upper end of the second grid rubber; the metal counterweight ring is provided on the upper end of the third chassis, and the second grid rubber is pasted under the third chassis. The second grid rubber has good friction, and the metal counterweight ring is placed on it to increase the positive pressure of the second grid rubber, further improving the friction between the second grid rubber and the table top, so that the poker machine runs more smoothly.

[0012] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0013] 1. During use, the requirements for the state of the playing cards are reduced, and moderate deformation is allowed. This is an important support for the smooth and uninterrupted card distribution of the poker machine, improving the overall operational stability of the poker machine and is an important technical indicator for considering the poker machine. On this basis, the rotation speed of the poker machine can be increased to make the card distribution faster and enhance the entertainment experience. Different styles of poker machines can be obtained by replacing different guard plates, while significantly reducing production costs.

[0014] 2. Card dealing mechanism: The card dealing motor drives the card feeding wheel and the card dealing wheel to rotate simultaneously through the first synchronous belt. The playing cards are pushed forward by the friction force generated by the rotating card dealing wheel. After passing through the first limiting blade, the gap of the limiting blade only allows the cards to pass through and continue to be pushed forward. When the playing cards are pushed to the card dealing wheel, the position sensor starts working until the playing cards are completely removed. Rotation mechanism: The rotating motor drives the second pulley to rotate through the second synchronous belt. The second pulley is connected to the first chassis. The first chassis is stationary on the table, which is equivalent to the rotating motor rotating around the first chassis. When the rotating position sensor passes through the gap on the first chassis, the system locates the card dealing position. Through the motion synthesis of the above mechanism, degree of rotation and directional card dealing is achieved;

[0015] 3. The two sides of the bottom of the card box sink, leaving a 5mm space between the sinking surface and the limiting edge. When the playing card's width is deformed downward by no more than 5mm, it can pass smoothly. A 5mm space is also left above the second limiting edge. When the playing card is deformed upward in the width direction, it can also pass smoothly. This structural solution solves the problem of the playing card passing through the second limiting edge when it is deformed as described above. Finally, the shock-absorbing component: This structure places a shock-absorbing spring between the second chassis and the second pulley. The rotational torque is first transmitted to the second pulley, and then transmitted to the second chassis by the second pulley. After the shock-absorbing spring is placed between the second pulley and the second chassis, the rotational torque is transmitted before it is transmitted to the second chassis;

[0016] 4. The shock-absorbing spring is subjected to force, which is then transmitted to the second chassis by the shock-absorbing spring. This allows the rotational torque to be gradually released, achieving an anti-seismic effect. Because the shock-absorbing springs are distributed in degrees, the elastic forces generated by the shock-absorbing springs cannot offset each other, resulting in a radial resultant force at the center of rotation, which increases rotational resistance. This structure places a constrained bearing at the center of rotation, using the bearing's own rigidity to withstand the radial resultant force. This achieves an anti-seismic effect without affecting rotation. Anti-slip chassis: A second mesh rubber is attached to the bottom of the third chassis. The second mesh rubber has good friction, and a metal counterweight ring is placed on it to increase the positive pressure of the second mesh rubber, further improving the friction between the second mesh rubber and the table surface, making the poker machine run more smoothly.

On this basis, you can choose to increase the rotation speed of the poker machine to make the card dealing speed faster and enhance the entertainment experience. You can get a poker machine of the corresponding style by replacing different guard plates, while significantly reducing the production and manufacturing costs.

[0025] See also Figure 1-2In this embodiment, the card dealing mechanism 1 includes a first synchronous belt 101, a card feeding wheel 102, a card dealing wheel 103, a first limiting blade 104 and an inclined support 105; the card feeding wheel 102 is provided at the upper end of the first synchronous belt 101; the card feeding wheel 102 is provided at the side end thereof; the card dealing wheel 103 is fixedly mounted at the side end thereof with a first limiting blade 104; the side end of the first limiting blade 104 is provided with an inclined support 105, and the card dealing motor drives the card feeding wheel 102 and the card dealing wheel 103 to rotate simultaneously through the first synchronous belt 101, and the playing cards are pushed forward by the friction force generated by the rotating card dealing wheel 103. After passing through the first limiting blade 104, the gap between the limiting blades only allows one card to pass through, and continues to be pushed forward. When the playing cards are pushed to the card dealing wheel 103, the position sensor 205 starts to work until The playing cards are completely removed. The rotating mechanism 2 includes a rotating motor 201, a second synchronous belt 202, a first pulley 203, a first chassis 204, a position sensor 205, and a first mesh rubber 206. The second synchronous belt 202 is connected to the outside of the rotating motor 201, and the first pulley 203 is located inside the second synchronous belt 202. The first chassis 204 is located at the top end of the first pulley 203, and the position sensor 205 is located at the bottom end of the first chassis 204. The first mesh rubber 206 is fixedly mounted on the top end of the first chassis 204. The rotating motor 201 drives the second pulley 402 through the second synchronous belt 202 to rotate 360 ​​degrees. The second pulley 402 is connected to the first chassis 204, and the first chassis 204 is stationary on the table, which is equivalent to the rotating motor 201 rotating around the first chassis 204. When the rotating position sensor 205 passes through the notch in the first chassis 204, the system locates the dealing position. Through the combined motion of the above mechanisms, 360-degree rotational directional dealing is achieved.

[0026] See also Figure 3-5In this embodiment, the anti-deformation component 3 includes a card box 301, a second limiting blade 302 and a rectangular support 303; the second limiting blade 302 is provided on the upper side of the card box 301; the lower end of the second limiting blade 302 is provided with a rectangular support 303, and the two sides of the bottom of the card box 301 are sunken, leaving a 5mm space between the sunken surface and the limiting blade. When the downward deformation of the playing cards in the width direction does not exceed 5mm, they can pass through smoothly. A 5mm space is also left above the second limiting blade 302, so that when the playing cards are deformed upward in the width direction, they can also pass through smoothly. This structural solution solves the problem of the playing cards passing through the second limiting blade 302 when the above-mentioned deformation occurs. The shock-absorbing assembly 4 includes a second chassis 401, a second pulley 402, a shock-absorbing spring 403, a rotating bearing 404 and a constraint bearing 405; a second pulley 402 is provided on the outside of the second chassis 401; a shock-absorbing spring 403 is connected to the inside of the second pulley 402; a rotating bearing 404 is provided inside the second chassis 401; a constraint bearing 405 is provided inside the rotating bearing 404, and two shock-absorbing springs 403 are placed at 137 degrees between the second chassis 401 and the second pulley 402. The rotational torque is first transmitted to the second pulley 402, and then transmitted to the second chassis 401 by the second pulley 402. After the shock-absorbing spring 403 is placed between the second pulley 402 and the second chassis 401, the shock-absorbing spring 403 is subjected to force before the rotational torque is transmitted to the second chassis 401, and then the shock-absorbing spring 403 is transmitted to the second chassis 401, so that the rotational torque is gradually released, thereby achieving an anti-seismic effect. Since the two shock-absorbing springs 403 are distributed at 137 degrees, the elastic forces generated by the two shock-absorbing springs 403 cannot offset each other, and a radial resultant force will be generated at the center of rotation. The existence of the resultant force will increase the rotational resistance. This structure places a constraint bearing 405 at the center of rotation, and uses the rigidity of the bearing itself to withstand the radial force. This not only meets the anti-seismic effect but also does not affect the rotation. The anti-slip component 5 includes a second grid rubber 501, a third chassis 502 and a metal counterweight ring 503; the third chassis 502 is provided at the upper end of the second grid rubber 501; the metal counterweight ring 503 is provided at the upper end of the third chassis 502, and the second grid rubber 501 is pasted under the third chassis 502. The second grid rubber 501 has good friction. The metal counterweight ring 503 is placed on it to increase the positive pressure of the second grid rubber 501, further improving the friction between the second grid rubber 501 and the table, making the poker machine run more smoothly.

[0027] When in use, first, the card dealing mechanism 1: the card dealing motor drives the card feeding wheel 102 and the card dealing wheel 103 to rotate simultaneously through the first synchronous belt 101. The playing cards are pushed forward by the friction force generated by the rotating card dealing wheel 103. After passing through the first limiting blade 104, the gap between the limiting blades only allows one card to pass through, and the playing cards continue to be pushed forward. When the playing cards are pushed to the card dealing wheel 103, the position sensor 205 starts working until the playing cards are completely removed. Rotating mechanism 2: the rotating motor 201 drives the second pulley 402 to rotate 360 ​​degrees through the second synchronous belt 202. The second pulley 402 is connected to the first chassis 204. The first chassis 204 is stationary on the table, which is equivalent to the rotating motor 201 rotating around the first chassis 204. When the rotating position sensor 205 passes through the notch on the first chassis 204, the system locates the card dealing position. Through the motion synthesis of the above mechanisms, 360-degree rotational directional card dealing is achieved;

[0028] The bottom of the card box 301 then sinks on both sides, leaving a 5mm gap between the lowered surface and the limiting edge. This allows a card to pass smoothly if its widthwise downward deformation does not exceed 5mm. A 5mm gap is also left above the second limiting edge 302, allowing it to pass smoothly even if the card deforms upward. This structural solution solves the problem of cards passing through the second limiting edge 302 when deformed. Finally, the shock absorber assembly 4: This structure places two shock absorber springs 403 at a 137-degree angle between the second chassis 401 and the second pulley 402. The rotational torque is first transmitted to the second pulley 402, and then transmitted to the second chassis 401 by the second pulley 402. After the shock-absorbing spring 403 is placed between the second pulley 402 and the second chassis 401, the rotational torque is first subjected to force on the shock-absorbing spring 403 before being transmitted to the second chassis 401. In this way, the rotational torque is gradually released, thereby achieving an anti-seismic effect. Since the two shock-absorbing springs 403 are distributed at 137 degrees, the elastic forces generated by the two shock-absorbing springs 403 cannot offset each other, and a radial resultant force will be generated at the center of rotation. The existence of the resultant force will increase the rotational resistance. This structure places a constraint bearing 405 at the center of rotation, using the rigidity of the bearing itself to withstand the radial force, which not only meets the anti-seismic effect but also does not affect the rotation. Anti-slip chassis: A second grid rubber 501 is pasted under the third chassis 502. The second grid rubber 501 has good friction. A metal counterweight ring 503 is placed on it to increase the positive pressure of the second grid rubber 501, further improving the friction between the second grid rubber 501 and the table, making the poker machine run more smoothly.

[0029] The above steps reduce the requirements for the card condition, allowing for moderate deformation. This is crucial for smooth, uninterrupted card play, improving the machine's overall operational stability and a crucial technical consideration for poker machines. Furthermore, the machine's rotation speed can be increased for faster card dealing and a more engaging gaming experience. Different guard plates can be replaced to create custom poker machine styles, significantly reducing manufacturing costs.

[0030] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
