[0023] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] Example 1: An adaptive card quantity adjustment mechanism.

[0025] As attached Figure 1-5 The illustrated embodiment shows an adaptive card quantity adjustment mechanism comprising a clamping block 1, a limiting block 2, and an adjusting bolt 3. The clamping block 1 is fixedly mounted to the upper inner wall of a card outlet passage 4. An adjusting slot 5 is provided on the lower inner wall of the card outlet passage 4. The limiting block 2 is mounted within the adjusting slot 5 via the adjusting bolt 3. Below the adjusting slot 5, a nut slot 6 is provided within the card outlet passage 4. An adjusting nut 7 that matches the adjusting bolt 3 is disposed within the nut slot 6. The nut slot 6 is a hexagonal slot that provides a transitional fit with the adjusting nut 7. A tapered countersunk hole is provided in the middle of the limit block 2, and the adjusting bolt 3 is a tapered countersunk bolt matching the countersunk hole. The adjusting bolt 3 passes through the countersunk hole and is then threadedly connected to the adjusting nut 7. The adjusting bolt 3 and the limit block 2 are clearance-matched; two adjusting springs 8 are also installed on the lower surface of the limit block 2, and the adjusting spring 8 is close to the card-discharging direction relative to the adjusting bolt 3. The adjusting spring 8 is in contact and connected with the bottom of the adjusting groove 5 on the lower inner wall of the card-discharging channel 4. The deformation recovery of the adjusting spring 8 pushes the limit block 2 closer to the bolt head of the adjusting bolt 3. Under the push of the adjusting spring 8, turning the adjusting bolt 3 can drive the limit block 2 to approach or move away from the blocking block 1 to adjust the size of the card-discharging channel 4.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the other side of the card block 1 relative to the card-discharging direction is a sloped surface inclined downwardly in the card-discharging direction; the side of the card block 1 facing the card-discharging direction is a sloped surface inclined downwardly in the opposite direction of the card-discharging direction. The playing cards themselves have a certain degree of elasticity. When a card encounters the first slope during the card-discharging process, it is guided downward and pressed down. After crossing the card block 1, it rebounds and recovers, and the card is played normally. If the card is blocked during the card-discharging process, the rebound of the card is blocked by the slope of the card block 1 and cannot be rebounded into the card slot 11, thereby reducing the probability of the card being stuck.

[0027] When adjusting the amount of cards to be output, the user screws the adjusting bolt 3 to adjust its height on the adjusting nut 7, and then cooperates with the adjusting spring 8 to adjust the extension distance of the limit block 2 in the card output channel 4. The amount of cards to be output is adjusted by adjusting the distance between the limit block 2 and the card block 1. The card block 1 has a constricted shape on one side close to the entrance of the card output channel 4 and an enlarged shape on the other side, which can effectively limit the amount of cards to be output and prevent the backflow of cards. In addition, during the card output process, the two ends of the limit block 2 can adaptively swing up and down within a certain range.

[0028] Embodiment 2: An automatic card dealing machine.

[0029] As attached Figure 1-8An automatic card dealing machine is shown, which includes a housing 9. A rotating base 10 is provided at the bottom of the housing 9 for driving the housing 9 to rotate. A card placement slot 11 is provided on one side of the housing 9, and a card delivery outlet 12 is provided on the other side of the housing 9. A card discharge channel 4 is provided between the card delivery outlet 12 and the card placement slot 11, and the card discharge channel 4 connects the card delivery outlet 12 and the card placement slot 11. The card discharge channel 4 is installed with the adaptive card quantity adjustment mechanism as described in Example 1; the housing 9 also contains a card feeding mechanism 13 for driving cards to move from the card placement slot 11 to the card delivery outlet 12, a card delivery mechanism 14 for ejecting cards from the card delivery outlet 12, and a control mechanism for controlling the operation of the card dealing machine.

[0030] In actual use, the card quantity adjustment mechanism is pre-adjusted based on the thickness of the playing cards and the desired card output quantity to limit the spacing of the card output channel 4, so that the spacing of the card output channel 4 is adjusted to a spacing corresponding to the card output quantity. For example, if the playing card thickness is 2mm and the card output quantity is set to 1, the spacing of the card output channel 4 needs to be set between 2mm and 4mm through the cooperation of the stop block 2 and the adjustment bolt 3 to meet the requirement that the card output channel 4 can only pass one card at a time. If the card output quantity is set to 2, the spacing of the card output channel 4 needs to be set between 4mm and 6mm through the cooperation of the stop block 2 and the adjustment bolt 3 to meet the requirement that the card output channel 4 can only pass two cards at a time. This arrangement can achieve a fixed amount of card delivery, and even if there is an obstruction at the exit of the card output channel 4, the card quantity adjustment mechanism will stop the card behind it under the limiting action of the card quantity adjustment mechanism, so that the card behind it cannot pass the card in front, thereby preventing the card from getting stuck in the card output channel 4.

[0031] The above-described embodiments represent only two implementation methods of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
