Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of entertainment products, in particular to a card dealing machine. Background Art
[0002] A card dealing machine is an entertainment device for automatically dispensing playing cards, such as playing cards. It has a card compartment within a housing for storing the playing cards, a card entry opening at the bottom of the compartment, and a limiting mechanism at the entry opening to restrict entry of only one playing card at a time. Chinese Patent Publication No. CN116236765A discloses a patent entitled "A Card Dealing Machine," in which an upper card block is fixedly connected to the housing, and a lower card block is floatingly arranged on the housing via an adjustment spring. The floating arrangement of the lower card block allows the gap between the upper and lower card blocks to be dynamically adjusted. In this structure, an adjusting screw is used to limit the lower card block from disengaging from a card adjustment chamber. This results in the need to tighten the adjusting screw using a tool during installation. Furthermore, when the lower card block sinks, the position of the adjusting screw remains unchanged, causing the adjusting screw to lift the middle and rear portions of the playing cards, placing the playing cards in an inclined state and making them easily stuck in the card dispensing passage. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a card dealing machine, which can effectively solve the problem that the limiting mechanism of the existing card dealing machine is installed unchanged and is easy to lose playing cards.
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0005] A card dealing machine comprises a card bin for storing playing cards, a card discharging passage and a card feeding mechanism for pushing playing cards into the card discharging passage, wherein the card discharging passage has a card inlet connected to the card bin, and the card dealing machine further comprises a card adjusting mechanism arranged at the card inlet for limiting the number of playing cards pushed into the card discharging passage, the card adjusting mechanism comprises an upper card rubbing block, a lower card rubbing block and a card adjusting cavity for accommodating the lower card rubbing block, the card adjusting cavity is provided with a guide hole communicating with the card inlet, a blocking portion is further provided in the card adjusting cavity, the lower card rubbing block is provided with a limiting portion abutting against the bottom of the blocking portion to prevent the lower card rubbing block from escaping from the guide hole into the card adjusting cavity, and an elastic supporting member is further provided in the card adjusting cavity for supporting the lower card rubbing block toward the upper card rubbing block.
[0006] In the above-mentioned card dealing machine, the lower card rubbing block is swingably arranged in a vertical plane along the conveying direction of the playing cards in the card discharging channel, and gaps are arranged between the lower card rubbing block and the side wall of the guide hole, and between the limiting part and the side wall of the card adjusting cavity.
[0007] In the above-mentioned card dealing machine, the swing axis of the lower card rubbing block is located at the end of the lower card rubbing block close to the card bin; or, the swing axis of the lower card rubbing block is located at the end of the lower card rubbing block away from the card bin.
[0008] In the above-mentioned card dealing machine, the lower shuffling block includes a swinging end where the swing axis is located and a floating end away from the swinging end, the upper shuffling block is located above the floating end, and the elastic support member is supported below the floating end.
[0009] In the above-mentioned card dealing machine, a lower limit member is provided in the card adjusting cavity to limit the downward swing amplitude of the lower card rubbing block.
[0010] In the above-mentioned card dealing machine, a lower supporting block is provided on one side of the card mixing cavity close to the card bin, and the lower card rubbing block swings with the top end of the lower supporting block as a fulcrum.
[0011] In the above-mentioned card dealing machine, the lower card rubbing block is slidably arranged in the card mixing cavity along a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the playing cards pass through the card inlet.
[0012] In the above-mentioned card dealing machine, the limiting portion abuts against the side wall of the card adjusting cavity, and the elastic supporting member abuts against the middle portion of the bottom surface of the lower card rubbing block.
[0013] In the above-mentioned card dealing machine, a chute is provided in the card adjusting cavity, and the limiting portion extends into the chute.
[0014] In the above-mentioned card dealing machine, the top of the elastic support member abuts against the lower card rubbing block, and a fixing member for fixing the relative position of the elastic support member is provided in the card adjusting cavity.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:
[0016] By arranging a blocking part in the guide hole to cooperate with the limiting part of the lower card rubbing block, the problem of the current limiting mechanism of the card dealing machine being unchanged and easy to get stuck is solved. The card adjustment chamber allows the lower card rubbing block to have an independent adjustment space and is not easily interfered with by other components. In addition, a guide hole connected to the card inlet is arranged in the card adjustment cavity to limit the movement trajectory of the lower card rubbing block. The cooperation between the blocking part and the limiting part is then used to prevent the lower card rubbing block from escaping from the card adjustment cavity from the guide hole. Due to the abutment between the blocking part and the limiting part, the previous method of using screws to limit the lower card rubbing block is abandoned. When the lower card rubbing block is limited, it is not necessary to use tools for installation. Moreover, when the lower card rubbing block sinks, there is no problem of screws lifting the playing cards. Therefore, the playing cards can remain as low and flat as possible to enter the card discharging channel, reducing the situation where the playing cards are stuck in the card discharging channel and improving the stability of the card dealing.
[0017] Furthermore, the lower card rubbing block is swung in a vertical plane along the direction in which playing cards are conveyed within the card outlet channel, and gaps are provided between the lower card rubbing block and the sidewalls of the guide hole, and between the stopper and the sidewalls of the card adjustment cavity. Another operating mode of the lower card rubbing block, in which the gap between the lower card rubbing block and the upper card rubbing block is adjusted by swinging, can also achieve the purpose of dynamically adjusting the gap according to the thickness of the playing cards.
[0018] Furthermore, the swing axis of the lower card block is located at an end of the lower card block that is close to the card compartment; or the swing axis of the lower card block is located at an end of the lower card block that is far from the card compartment. The swing axis of the lower card block is close to or far from the card compartment, which can prevent one end of the lower card block from being pressed down by the playing cards and the other end from tilting up and changing the running path of the playing cards.
[0019] Furthermore, the lower shuffling block includes a swinging end where the swing axis is located and a floating end away from the swinging end, the upper shuffling block is located above the floating end, and the elastic support member is supported below the floating end. The elastic support member can obtain a larger lever arm, and the control of the elastic force of the elastic support mechanism can be more precise.
[0020] Furthermore, a lower limiter is provided in the card adjustment cavity to limit the downward swing of the lower card rubbing block. The lower limiter can control the downward swing of the lower card rubbing block to prevent the lower card rubbing block from swinging too deep and causing the playing cards to hit the inner wall of the guide hole and be unable to enter the card outlet channel smoothly.
[0021] Furthermore, a lower support block is provided on one side of the card mixing chamber near the card bin, and the lower card rubbing block swings with the top of the lower support block as a fulcrum. The lower support block forms a fulcrum to support the swing of the lower card rubbing block, thereby avoiding the need for a rotating shaft in the card mixing chamber and simplifying the installation steps.
[0022] Furthermore, the lower card rubbing block is slidably arranged in the card mixing cavity in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the playing cards pass through the card inlet. A relative movement of the lower card rubbing block, which is slidably arranged in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the playing cards pass through the card inlet, can allow the lower card rubbing block to sink as a whole, making it easier to keep the playing cards in a tilted position when entering the card outlet, thereby reducing the risk of playing cards being tilted.
[0023] Furthermore, the limiting portion abuts against the side wall of the card-adjusting cavity, and the elastic support member abuts against the middle portion of the bottom surface of the lower card-rubbing block. The limiting portion abuts against the side wall of the card-adjusting cavity, which can limit the trajectory of the lower card-rubbing block as it floats up and down, thereby preventing the lower card-rubbing block from deflecting and getting stuck in the guide hole when floating up and down. In addition, the elastic support member abuts against the middle portion of the lower card-rubbing block, making the lower card-rubbing block more stable when subjected to the upward elastic force.
[0024] Furthermore, a chute is provided in the card-adjusting cavity, and the limit portion extends into the chute. Another way to limit the sinking and floating of the lower card-stirring block is to limit the movement trajectory of the lower card-stirring block by cooperating with the chute and the limit portion, which can also ensure that the lower card-stirring block floats up and down along a straight line.
[0025] Furthermore, the top of the elastic support member abuts against the lower card rubbing block, and a fixing member for fixing the relative position of the elastic support member is provided in the card adjustment cavity. The fixing member fixes the relative position of the elastic support member, ensuring that the elastic support member can provide support for the lower card rubbing block in the correct position.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0035] A card dealing machine includes a card bin 100 for storing playing cards, a card discharging channel 200, and a card feeding mechanism 300 for pushing playing cards into the card discharging channel 200. The card discharging channel 200 has a card inlet 210 connected to the card bin 100. The card dealing machine also includes a card adjusting mechanism 400 arranged at the card inlet 210 for limiting the number of playing cards pushed into the card discharging channel 200. The card adjusting mechanism 400 includes an upper card rubbing block 410, a lower card rubbing block 420, and a card feeding mechanism 300 for accommodating the lower card rubbing block 420. The card-adjusting cavity 430 is provided with a guide hole 431 communicated with the card entry port 210, a blocking portion 432 is provided in the card-adjusting cavity 430, and the lower card-rubbing block 420 is provided with a limiting portion 421 abutting against the bottom of the blocking portion 432 to prevent the lower card-rubbing block 420 from escaping from the card-adjusting cavity 430 from the guide hole 431, and an elastic support member 500 is also provided in the card-adjusting cavity 430 for supporting the lower card-rubbing block 420 toward the upper card-rubbing block 410.
[0036] By providing a blocking portion 432 in the guide hole 431 to cooperate with the limiting portion 421 of the lower card rubbing block 420, the problem of the limiting mechanism of the current card dealing machine being fixed and easily slipping is solved. The card adjustment chamber 100 allows the lower card rubbing block 420 to have an independent adjustment space and is not easily interfered with by other components. In addition, a guide hole 431 is provided in the card adjustment cavity 430, which is connected to the card inlet 210, to limit the movement trajectory of the lower card rubbing block 420. The blocking portion 432 and the limiting portion 421 cooperate to prevent the lower card rubbing block 420 from escaping from the guide hole 431 in the card adjustment cavity 430. Since the blocking portion 432 and the limiting portion 421 are only in abutment with each other, no tools are required when installing the lower card rubbing block 420, and this matching method abandons the existing screw limiting. When the lower card rubbing block 420 sinks, there will be no screws to push up the playing cards, so that the playing cards can remain as low and flat as possible when entering the card outlet channel 200, reducing the situation where the playing cards are stuck in the card outlet channel 200 and improving the stability of card dealing.
[0037] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Example 1:
[0042] See Figures 1 to 5 This is a first embodiment of a card dealing machine of the present invention. The card dealing machine includes a shell, in which a card bin 100 for storing playing cards is formed. A card outlet channel 200 is provided on the front side of the shell corresponding to the bottom of the card bin 100. The card outlet channel 200 has a card inlet 210 connected to the card bin 100. A card feeding mechanism 300 for pushing playing cards into the card outlet channel 200 is provided in the card bin 100. A card adjusting mechanism 400 for limiting the number of playing cards entering the card outlet channel 200 is provided at the card inlet 210. A card ejecting mechanism 700 is provided in the card outlet channel 200 downstream of the card adjusting mechanism 400. Its working principle is that the playing cards are stacked and placed in the card bin 100, and the card feeding mechanism 300 pushes the playing cards on the bottom layer from the card entry 210 into the card exit passage 200. The card adjusting mechanism 400 located at the card entry 210 controls that only one playing card enters the card exit passage 200 at a time, and the playing cards entering the card exit passage 200 will be ejected out of the card exit passage 200 by the card ejecting mechanism 700.
[0043] The card adjustment mechanism 400 comprises an upper card rubbing block 410, a lower card rubbing block 420 and a card adjustment cavity 430 for accommodating the lower card rubbing block 420, the upper card rubbing block 410 is positioned over the lower card rubbing block 420, the spacing between the upper card rubbing block 410 and the lower card rubbing block 420 is controlled to be greater than a playing card thickness and less than two playing card thicknesses, thereby realizing that only one playing card can pass through at each time.But because the thickness of different playing cards is different, the spacing between the upper card rubbing block 410 and the lower card rubbing block 420 need to be dynamically adjusted.The position of the upper card rubbing block 410 is fixed in the present embodiment, and is introduced with the relative position of regulating the lower card rubbing block 420.
[0044] The card-adjusting cavity 430 is provided with a guide hole 431 identical to the card entry port 210, and the top of the lower card-rubbing block 420 passes through the guide hole 431 and is partially located in the card entry port 210. A blocking portion 432 is provided in the card-adjusting cavity 430, and a limiting portion 421 is provided on the lower card-rubbing block 420 to abut against the bottom of the blocking portion 432. Through the cooperation of the blocking portion 432 and the limiting portion 421, the upward movement of the lower card-rubbing block 420 is limited, thereby preventing the spacing between the lower card-rubbing block 420 and the upper card-rubbing block 410 from being too small or the lower card-rubbing block 420 from upwardly separating from the card-adjusting cavity 430. Specifically, the inner sidewall of the card-adjusting chamber 430 can extend an upper convex eave to form a blocking portion 432 near the lower card-rubbing block 420, and the sidewall of the lower card-rubbing block 420 extends a lower convex eave to form a limiting portion 421 on the inner sidewall of the card-adjusting chamber 430. When the lower card-rubbing block 420 moves upward to a certain position, the top of the limiting portion 421 abuts the bottom of the blocking portion 432, thereby limiting the highest position of the lower card-rubbing block 420. In addition, in the present embodiment, because the blocking portion 432 protrudes toward the lower card-rubbing block 420, when the peripheral wall of the card-adjusting chamber 430 is provided with the blocking portion 432, the blocking portion 432 will surround the guide hole 431, that is, allowing the blocking portion 432 and the guide hole 431 to be connected as one; of course, the blocking portion 432 can also be separated from the guide hole 431, that is, spaced apart between the blocking portion 432 and the guide hole 431 along the vertical direction.
[0045] The above-mentioned limiting method for the lower card rubbing block 420 does not require the use of tools during installation, which can simplify the installation steps. In addition, compared with the previous method of limiting the lower card rubbing block 420 with bolts, after the lower card rubbing block 420 is lowered, there will be no bolt head protruding to support the playing cards. The playing cards can maintain a stable angle instead of diving through the card inlet 210, which also reduces the situation where the playing cards get stuck in the card outlet channel 200. An elastic support member 500 is also provided in the card adjustment cavity 430 to support the lower card rubbing block 420 in the direction of the upward card rubbing block 410. The elastic support member 500 dynamically adjusts the position of the lower card rubbing block 420 and helps the lower card rubbing block 420 return to its initial position.
[0046] In this embodiment, the lower card rubbing block 420 will move in the form of a swing, that is, the lower card rubbing block 420 is set to swing in a vertical plane along the direction of conveying the playing cards in the card outlet channel 200. There are gaps set between the lower card rubbing block 420 and the side walls of the guide hole 431, and between the limiting portion 421 and the side walls of the card adjustment cavity 430. Such gaps are set to provide room for the swing of the lower card rubbing block 420, thereby preventing the lower card rubbing block 420 from getting stuck during the swing.
[0047] Furthermore, the swing axis of lower rubbing card block 420 is positioned at an end of lower rubbing card block 420 near card storehouse 100, so that the end of lower rubbing card block 420 near card storehouse 100 can be flush with card storehouse 100 bottoms, allowing the playing cards to be more stable when moving to lower rubbing card block 420, without causing the situation of abutting with the end of lower rubbing card block 420. Of course, the swing axis of lower rubbing card block 420 can also be positioned at an end of lower rubbing card block 420 away from card storehouse 100, but it is necessary to set an excessive design similar to an arc at an end of lower rubbing card block 420 near card storehouse 100 so that the playing cards can be smoothly moved to lower rubbing card block 420. The above arrangement avoids tilting at both ends of lower rubbing card block 420 as much as possible, thereby preventing the other end from tilting and changing the transport path of the playing cards when one end of lower rubbing card block 420 is lowered.
[0048] On the basis of the above embodiment, the lower shuffling block includes a swinging end where the swinging axis is located and a floating end away from the swinging end. The upper shuffling block 410 is located above the floating end of the lower shuffling block 420, and the elastic support member 500 is located above the floating end of the lower shuffling block 420. In this way, the upper shuffling block 410 and the lower shuffling block 420 can obtain as large an adjustment range as possible, and the elastic support member 500 can also obtain a larger lever arm. When the lower shuffling block 420 is pressed down, the descending amplitude can be adjusted more accurately to ensure that only one playing card passes through the card entry 210 at a time.
[0049] Since the lower card rubbing block 420 is swingably set in the card adjusting cavity 430, a lower limit member is provided in the card adjusting cavity 430 to limit the downward swing of the lower card rubbing block 420, so as to prevent the lower card rubbing block 420 from descending too much and causing the end of the lower card rubbing block 420 away from the swing fulcrum to move downward below the top surface of the guide hole 431, thereby preventing the playing cards from pressing against the inner end surface of the guide hole 431 and causing a playing card situation.
[0050] The method for forming the rotation axis of the lower shuffling block 420 includes but is not limited to the following schemes:
[0051] 1. A rotating shaft is provided at the end of the lower card shuffling block 420 close to the card bin 100 , and both ends of the rotating shaft are provided on the side walls of the card adjustment cavity 430 , so that the lower card shuffling block 420 forms a swinging structure with the rotating shaft as the rotation axis.
[0052] Second, a lower support block 433 is provided on a side near the card compartment 100 in the card adjustment cavity 430, and the lower portion of the lower card rubbing block 420 near one end of the card compartment 100 abuts against the lower support block 433, so that the top of the lower support block 433 is a fulcrum for swinging. This method is simpler to install than the rotating shaft method. Further, a limiting portion 421 can be arranged at an end closer to the card compartment 100 at the fulcrum, and the limiting portion 421 and the blocking portion 432 maintain a certain gap when the lower card rubbing block 420 is not under pressure. When the lower card rubbing block 420 is under pressure and swings around the fulcrum, the limiting portion 421 is tilted upward and against the blocking portion 432, so that the swing amplitude of the lower card rubbing block 420 can be limited. In this way, there is no need to set a lower limiting member to limit the swing amplitude of the lower card rubbing block 420.
[0053] The elastic support member 500 can be a compression spring or a spring sheet. The elastic support member 500 can be arranged in the card adjusting cavity 430 by fixing the top end to the lower card rubbing block 420 or fixing the bottom end to the card adjusting cavity 430. In this embodiment, the bottom of the elastic support member 500 is fixed in the card adjusting cavity 430. Specifically, a fixing member 600 is provided in the card adjusting cavity 430, and a placement hole is opened at the top of the fixing member 600. The lower part of the elastic support member 500 is located in the placement hole, and the top of the elastic support member 500 abuts against the bottom of the lower card rubbing block 420, thereby realizing the positioning of the elastic support member 500.
[0054] For structures not described in this embodiment, reference may be made to the prior art solutions in the background art. The cooperation between the limiting portion 421 and the blocking portion 432 allows the lower card rubbing block 420 to be limited in position. No screws or tools are required for installation, simplifying the installation process. This also prevents the top of the screw from protruding and locking the playing cards after the lower card rubbing block 420 descends, potentially causing the playing cards to become stuck in the card delivery channel. A card dealing machine employing this solution can significantly reduce card jamming and enhance user experience.
[0055] Example 2:
[0056] refer to Figure 6 、 Figure 7 This is a second embodiment of a card dealing machine of the present invention. The difference from the first embodiment is that in this embodiment, the lower card rubbing block 420 is not swingably set in the card mixing cavity 430, but is slidably set in the card mixing cavity 430 perpendicular to the direction in which the playing cards pass through the card inlet 210. That is, the lower card rubbing block 420 will slide after being squeezed to a certain extent to adjust the distance between it and the upper card rubbing block 410.
[0057] The specific method of realizing the sliding cooperation between the lower card rubbing block 420 and the card adjusting cavity 430 includes but is not limited to the following structures:
[0058] 1. As Figure 6As shown, the limiting portion 421 abuts against the side wall of the card-adjusting cavity 430 and can slide relative to the side wall of the card-adjusting cavity 430, thereby restricting the lower card-rubbing block 420 from sliding up and down along the side wall of the card-adjusting cavity 430. At this time, the elastic support member 500 abuts against the middle of the bottom surface of the lower card-rubbing block 420, maintaining the balance of the lower card-rubbing block 420 when it slides up and down.
[0059] 2. If Figure 7 As shown, a slide groove 434 is provided in the card mixing cavity 430, and the limiting portion 421 extends into the slide groove 434. The movement direction of the limiting portion 421 is limited by the slide groove 434, thereby realizing the up and down sliding of the lower card rubbing block 420. Of course, since the slide groove 434 can limit the lower card rubbing block 420 in multiple directions, the position of the elastic support member 500 will not be particularly important, as long as it can lift the lower card rubbing block 420 to restore its initial position after the external force is removed.
[0060] The lower card rubbing block 420 is set to slide perpendicular to the direction of movement of the playing cards, so that the lower card rubbing block 420 will not lift the tail end of the playing cards, ensuring that the playing cards can enter the card ejection mechanism 700 in a straight state rather than a diving state, reducing the probability of the playing cards being stuck in the card output channel 200.

[0062] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the technical features of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any changes or modifications made by any technician in this field within the scope of the present invention are included in the patent scope of the present invention.
