Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of entertainment systems, and in particular to a fully automatic card dealing device for playing cards or mahjong tiles. Background Art

[0002] A fully automatic card dealing machine is a machine that can both shuffle and deal cards. Currently, fully automatic card dealing machines in the industry fall into several categories. The first category is the boot-type fully automatic card dealing machine, primarily used in overseas chess and card casinos. The second category is the table-type card dealing machine, exemplified by Xuanhe, for example, patent number CN222150864U. These machines, similar in design to fully automatic mahjong machines, are complex in design and have high production and maintenance costs. The third category is the popular small portable card dealing machine. However, the drawback is that after each deal, the machine must be moved from the center and then returned to the center for the next deal, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0003] In the past, some manufacturers in the industry have tried to integrate card dealing machines into fully automatic mahjong tables, but they still used table-type card dealing machines similar to Zhejiang Xuanhe, which built a card dealing system based on the fully automatic mahjong machine, with a more complex structure.

[0004] In summary, the centralized chess and card entertainment devices currently available on the market are: first, portable card-dealing machines, which need to be removed from the middle after each deal, resulting in a poor user experience; second, fully automatic mahjong machines, which can only play mahjong, not playing cards; and third, all-in-one mahjong and poker machines. However, these two hardware systems, mahjong and poker, operate independently, resulting in complex structures and high production, repair, and maintenance costs. Therefore, the market is in urgent need of a new card-dealing machine to address these numerous issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide an entertainment system to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, this application provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] Compared with existing technologies,

[0008] An entertainment system includes a card issuing mechanism, wherein the card issuing mechanism includes an upper shell, a rotating base, and a rotating mechanism;

[0009] The upper shell and the rotating base are connected by supporting the mechanical rotating body;

[0010] The rotating mechanism includes a rotating motor and a rotating positioning device;

[0011] The rotating motor is arranged in the rotating base and is in transmission connection with the upper housing;

[0012] A card bin is provided in the upper shell, the card bin is provided with a card pressing mechanism, a card feeding mechanism is provided at the bottom of the card bin, a card inlet is provided on one side of the bottom of the card bin, the card inlet is provided with a card separating mechanism, and a card discharging mechanism is provided outside the card inlet.

[0013] Preferably, the card separating mechanism comprises a card separating block arranged above the card inlet and a limiting piece arranged below the card inlet, and the gap between the card separating block and the limiting piece is the thickness of a playing card.

[0014] Preferably, the surface of the dividing block corresponding to the limiting piece is provided with an inclined surface.

[0015] Preferably, the bottom of the card bin is provided with a limiting groove adapted to the limiting piece, and the limiting piece is detachably connected to the limiting groove.

[0016] Preferably, a portable base is provided at the bottom of the rotating base, and the rotating base is detachably connected to the portable base.

[0017] Preferably, the card feeding mechanism includes a card feeding motor and a card feeding rubber roller transmission-connected to the card feeding motor, and the card feeding rubber roller is installed at the bottom of the card bin.

[0018] Preferably, the card discharging mechanism includes a card discharging motor, a card discharging rubber roller drivingly connected to the card discharging motor, and a driven rubber roller adapted to the card discharging rubber roller.

[0019] Preferably, the driven rubber roller is arranged above the card-discharging rubber roller, and the card-discharging motor and the card-feeding motor are arranged above and in front of the driven rubber roller.

[0020] Preferably, the limiting piece passes through the card inlet and extends to between the card outlet rubber roller and the driven rubber roller.

[0021] Preferably, a circuit board is provided in the upper shell, which has a built-in program for controlling the mahjong machine and / or the card issuing mechanism, and the circuit board is connected to the rotating motor, the rotating positioning device, the card feeding mechanism and the card discharging mechanism respectively.

[0022] Compared with the existing technology, this application has the following technical effects:

[0023] 1. Based on the original mahjong machine, without changing any existing structure of the mahjong machine, a mahjong and card all-in-one machine is realized, which achieves the effect of one plus one being greater than two in terms of function, so that this entertainment device combines the entertainment functions of a mahjong machine and a card machine. It greatly reduces costs and does not need to be taken away all the time compared to portable devices. Currently, portable card dealing machines are placed in the middle to deal cards and need to be manually taken away after each deal. However, the card dealing machine of this application automatically descends under the table after dealing cards, eliminating the need to take it away like a portable card dealing machine every time. This greatly improves the user's card playing experience and provides a good entertainment experience.

[0024] Since the invention of the fully automatic mahjong table in 1964, the design concept of a mahjong and poker all-in-one machine has always been to build a separate card dealing system on top of the original mahjong all-in-one machine, with the two operating independently and integrating them into a single mahjong and poker all-in-one machine. The card shuffling, card delivery, and card dealing functions of the card machine have always been operated and operated on the table, resulting in a very complex structure, high cost, and high maintenance difficulty. Even the existing table-type poker machines currently on the market use similar shuffling, card delivery, and card dealing functions that have always been operated and operated on the table, resulting in a very complex structure, high cost, and high maintenance difficulty. To date, no one in the industry has modified the dice tray to enable a mahjong machine to function as a mahjong and poker all-in-one machine. Because the space in the dice tray is extremely limited, conventional designs simply cannot realize the independent function of the card dealing function. The present application meticulously arranges and combines each mechanism within the existing dice tray and its limited space of the fully automatic mahjong table, enabling it to realize the card dealing function, thus solving a technical problem that the industry has been trying to solve for many years but has not been able to solve.

[0025] 2. This device is simple in function, low in cost, ingenious in structural design, and easy to repair and maintain. It no longer uses a shuffling structure, but directly uses program-controlled irregular card dealing to replace the shuffling function, which greatly simplifies the structure of the device and has unexpected technical effects.

[0026] 3. This device has strong compatibility. Since the dice trays of most mahjong machines on the market are of universal product size and universal operating procedures, this device only needs to replace the software program to transform the original fully automatic mahjong machine into a mahjong and poker all-in-one machine. Moreover, with the recent popularity of throwing eggs, more and more people like card games. Based on this, this application is expected to serve as the standard configuration for future mahjong machine production, and can also upgrade the existing mahjong machine market to enable it to have the functions of a mahjong and poker all-in-one machine, which will be a huge commercial success.

[0027] 4. The card dealing machine of the present application has strong ductility. First, it can be compatible with the dice tray of the mahjong machine, and the mahjong machine can be transformed into an all-in-one mahjong and poker machine. Second, it is externally configured with a table body and a lifting mechanism, and can be used as a separate table-type poker machine. It has a simple structure, low cost, and is easy to install, repair and maintain. Third, it can be used as a separate portable card dealing machine with a base. The base and the card dealing machine are designed to be detachable structures, which are easy to carry and can be applied to different scenarios.

[0028] 5. The dice tray is also commonly known as the mahjong machine operating tray, mahjong machine lifting tray, and mahjong machine dice tray. It is generally oval, but also square, hexagonal, etc., with a bowl-shaped lower part. To transform it into a card dealing machine in such a limited space, it is necessary to fully consider the spatial layout of the card dealing machine mechanism. First, the program-controlled random card dealing replaces the shuffling structure, which can save one-third of the space. Second, the vertical card dealing is changed to horizontal card dealing, and the motor is set diagonally above the card-discharging rubber roller and the driven rubber roller, so that the card-discharging port position of the lower cover is a cone surface, and the other three sides of the lower cover are vertical surfaces within the size range of the original mahjong machine lifting tray; third, the rotating base is only equipped with a rotating motor, so that the overall structure becomes smaller as it goes down, but still shrinks within the size range of the original mahjong machine lifting tray; fourth, horizontal card dealing has a shorter card-discharging stroke than vertical card dealing, and the card-discharging speed is faster under the same time, which reduces the waiting time for card dealing. This application has fully considered the layout of each mechanism of the card dealing machine, so that it can be embedded in the dice tray of a small space, with unexpected technical effects.

[0029] Through the above design, some structures of this entertainment system, such as the lifting mechanism of the dice tray, the existing buttons of the dice tray, the electronic screen and other control systems, are shared by the mahjong machine and the card dealing machine, which greatly reduces the number of structural components, fully utilizes the space of the equipment, reduces production costs, facilitates installation and maintenance, improves the user experience, and has unexpected technical effects.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0056] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0057] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "center", "up", "down", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the position or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on this application.

[0058] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediary; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0059] like Figures 1 to 24 As shown:

[0060] Example 1:

[0061] The card dealing machine is integrated into the existing mahjong machine dice tray and uses the existing dice tray cover. The cover is provided with various control buttons required for the mahjong machine and the card dealing machine.

[0062] A card compartment cover connected by a spring rotating shaft is provided at the center of the face cover. When the card compartment cover is closed, it is connected to the face cover through a buckle and a spring button. The card dealing machine body is arranged in a cavity formed by the lower cover of the card dealing machine and the face cover.

[0063] The card pressing mechanism of the card dealing machine adopts the simplest spring card pressing structure (not shown in the figure). When the card compartment cover is closed, the spring set on the card compartment cover gives a certain downward pressure to the cards in the card compartment, so that the card feeding rubber roller and the contacting cards generate sufficient friction, thereby feeding the cards and ensuring smooth card feeding.

[0064] The main body of the card dealing machine consists of an upper shell, a card feeding mechanism, a card discharging mechanism, a card separating mechanism and a rotating mechanism.

[0065] The upper shell is mainly divided into three parts, one part is used as the card compartment, and the other two parts are used as the motor compartment and PCB board compartment.

[0066] The card feeding mechanism consists of a card feeding motor and a card feeding rubber roller, which is used to feed the cards in the card bin to the card inlet. The card feeding rubber roller is set at the bottom of the card bin and is supported on the shell by bearings on both sides.

[0067] The feeding roller is equipped with flexible convex teeth along its circumference to ensure smooth card feeding. At the card inlet, the card separation metal block and the card outlet limiter spring work together to separate the cards into individual cards and send them out from the card outlet.

[0068] The card-dispensing mechanism consists of a card-dispensing limit steel plate and a card-dispensing metal block. The upper and lower positions of the card-dispensing metal block can be adjusted appropriately. By adjusting the gap between the card-dispensing limit steel plate and the card-dispensing metal block, only one card can pass through at a time, thereby avoiding issuing multiple cards at one time.

[0069] The card discharging mechanism consists of a card discharging motor, a card discharging rubber roller and a driven rubber roller. The card discharging rubber roller and the driven rubber roller for driving the cards to be discharged are arranged at the bottom of the motor compartment, and are supported on the housing on both sides by bearings.

[0070] The card-discharging rubber roller and the driven rubber roller cooperate to ensure that the angle and force of the cards are stable.

[0071] The card feeding motor and the card discharging motor are both arranged in the motor compartment.

[0072] The card feeding motor and the card feeding rubber roller, the card discharging motor and the card discharging rubber roller are all driven by synchronous belts. Two sets of synchronous belt transmission mechanisms and corresponding synchronous wheels are respectively arranged on both sides of the housing.

[0073] In this embodiment, the card-discharging limit steel sheet and the upper vertex of the card-feeding rubber roller are kept in a horizontal plane, so that when cards are delivered, the card surface is horizontally delivered by the card-feeding rubber roller to the card-discharging mechanism and then to the card-discharging mechanism.

[0074] The bottom of the card compartment features a mounting slot that matches the steel plate for card removal. To accommodate different card thicknesses, simply produce several different thicknesses and install the corresponding steel plate, adapting the device to varying card thicknesses. This eliminates the need to modify other components of the device, and the pre-set screw holes in the mounting slot facilitate easy removal and replacement of the steel plate.

[0075] The thickness of the card-discharging limit steel plate can also be fixed, and the card-discharging metal block can be designed into different sizes so that the gap between the card-discharging metal block and the card-discharging limit steel plate is the thickness of a card, to correspond to cards of different thicknesses. At this time, only different models of card-discharging metal blocks need to be replaced, which can adapt to cards of different thicknesses for dealing cards. It is easy to install, low in cost, and convenient to repair and maintain, making the card-dealing machine more adaptable and able to adapt to cards of different thicknesses on the market.

[0076] It is also possible to design only one universal size for the card-dispensing metal plate, and adjust the gap between the card-dispensing metal block and the card-dispensing limit steel plate by adjusting the installation height of the card-dispensing metal plate. A card-dispensing block installation groove can be provided on the outer side of the upper wall of the card inlet of the card bin, and the card-dispensing block and the card-dispensing block installation groove can be detachably connected. For example, washers of different thicknesses can be set at the bottom of the card-dispensing metal plate and the card-dispensing block installation groove. By adjusting the washers of different thicknesses, the installation height of the card-dispensing metal plate can be adjusted, thereby achieving adaptive adjustment.

[0077] Spatial coordination layout between the card distribution agency and the card issuing agency

[0078] The card-discharging limit steel sheet and the card-discharging metal block are centrally arranged at the card inlet, which does not take up space and has a good card-discharging effect. It is also easy to disassemble and assemble, and is convenient for production, assembly, installation and maintenance.

[0079] The card-splitting metal block is installed on the outer side of the center of the facade where the card inlet is located. This makes full use of the space between the card inlet and the card-discharging rubber roller and the driven rubber roller, and can shorten the distance between the card inlet and the card-discharging rubber roller and the driven rubber roller. In other words, the card-splitting metal block does not increase the distance between the card inlet and the card-discharging mechanism, resulting in the application being smaller and shorter than conventional card-dealing machines.

[0080] The card-discharging rubber roller and the driven rubber roller are designed by passing two sets of card-discharging rubber rollers and the driven rubber roller on a steel shaft. The two sets of card-discharging rubber rollers and the driven rubber roller are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides, which reserves extension space for the card-discharging limit steel sheet. The card-discharging limit steel sheet runs through the card inlet from the card bin and extends beyond the vertical section of the card-discharging rubber roller, which improves the smoothness and stability of card feeding. Moreover, by the same principle, the space between the card inlet and the card-discharging rubber roller and the driven rubber roller is fully utilized.

[0081] Of course, when the card-discharging rubber roller and the driven rubber roller are both whole, there is still a certain amount of space between the tangents and the intersection of the two circles of the card-discharging rubber roller and the driven rubber roller. The card-discharging limit steel sheet can extend through the cross-section formed by the tangents to the position close to the intersection of the card-discharging rubber roller and the driven rubber roller, thereby improving the stability of the card conveying.

[0082] The rotating mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the housing, and includes a rotating motor, a synchronous belt and synchronous wheel of the rotating mechanism, and a ball bearing.

[0083] The outer steel ring of the ball bearing is fixedly connected to the main body of the card dealing machine, which is also the upper shell of the main body of the card dealing machine, and is also fixedly connected to the synchronous belt of the rotating mechanism and a set of synchronous wheels. The inner steel ring of the ball bearing is fixedly connected to the rotating base. In this way, a rotating motor is installed in the rotating base below the main body of the card dealing machine (located below the lower cover). The rotating motor drives the main body of the card dealing machine to rotate circumferentially through a set of synchronous belts.

[0084] A light sensor is installed below the motor compartment and at the card outlet to sense whether the cards have been issued smoothly, thereby controlling the number of cards issued or monitoring whether all the cards have been issued.

[0085] At the rotating mechanism position at the bottom of the card dealing machine, a Hall sensor is provided in the circumferential direction to sense the rotation angle of the rotating mechanism, thereby controlling the card dealing direction of the card dealing machine.

[0086] The control PCB board of the card dealing machine is integrated with the original mahjong machine control PCB board.

[0087] The PCB board is connected to the Hall sensor, light sensor, rotating motor, card feeding motor, card discharging motor, touch screen or display on the card compartment cover, control buttons on the cover, all circuit control systems of the original mahjong machine, such as the lifting motor of the dice tray lifting mechanism, and the actuators of the entire shuffling, stacking, and feeding mechanisms of the mahjong machine. Since the fully automatic mahjong table or mahjong machine is existing technology, it will not be elaborated here.

[0088] In actual use, the user arranges the backs of the cards facing up, shuffles and stacks them, and places them in the card compartment. After setting the dealing mode, the card dealing machine executes its operations according to control commands. The rotating mechanism adjusts the dealing position, the card feeding mechanism delivers the cards, the card separating mechanism separates the cards, and the card dispensing mechanism deals the cards. After the cards in one position are dealt, the rotating mechanism adjusts the dealing position to the next, and the relevant operations and dealing operations continue until all the cards in each position are dealt.

[0089] In the above process, if the user only arranges the backs of the cards facing up, stacks the cards, and puts them into the card compartment without shuffling them, it is also possible. In this case, the pre-set software program will control the cards and deal them in an irregular manner, thereby achieving a certain degree of shuffling function.

[0090] The irregular card dealing rules of the present application can preset some irregular card dealing methods in the program of the circuit board. For example, the rules for dealing cards at all four positions are as follows: the first set of card dealing direction rules are 0°, 180°, 360°, 270°, and 90°; the second set of card dealing direction rules are 0°, 90°, 180°, 360°, and 270°; the third set of card dealing direction rules are 360°, 270°, 0°, 90°, and 180°. The three groups are run alternately until the number of cards dealt at each position meets the preset requirements. The number of cards dealt at each position is a number randomly selected from 0 to 4 for dealing, thereby achieving irregular card dealing. Take 0 cards, rotate to the corresponding dealing direction, but do not deal cards, that is, the number of cards dealt is 0, and then rotate to the next dealing direction to execute the dealing action. The above are just examples. In actual operation, various irregular methods can be built into the program of the circuit board to achieve irregular card dealing with different numbers of cards, such as two positions, six positions, and eight positions.

[0091] The number of cards dealt in each preset manner refers to the total number of cards dealt preset through the display screen and buttons, or the number calculated by the system by setting the total number of cards and the number of players. For example, if there are 54 cards and 2 people play, each person needs to be dealt 27 cards, and 27 cards is the preset number of cards dealt.

[0092] In the present embodiment, the card dealing machine is powered by an external direct-plug power supply, for example, the original power supply system of the automatic mahjong machine is directly powered by the external direct-plug power supply, and no additional power supply is required.

[0093] When the card dealing machine of this embodiment is powered by an external direct-plug power supply, for example, directly utilizing the existing power supply system of an automatic mahjong machine with an external direct-plug power supply, corresponding wires for the power supply of the PCB board, Hall effect sensor, light sensor, motor, etc., are routed to the corresponding power-consuming devices through the hollow conduits reserved in the rotating base and the card dealing machine body. Therefore, it is necessary to control, through a program on the card dealing machine PCB board, that each time the card dealing machine completes a 360° rotation, it must rotate 360° in the opposite direction to reset, and repeat this process for dealing cards. In this way, the wires will not become twisted and disconnected due to continuous rotation. In addition, a lower cover baffle is provided at a corner of the rotating base. When each card dealing rotation completes 360°, a rotating base baffle is provided at a corresponding position on the upper housing of the card dealing machine body, which is compatible with the lower cover baffle, to prevent the rotating base from rotating in the same direction.

[0094] During the research and development debugging stage, the applicant found that sometimes when rotating the cards, the distance of the cards thrown out would become shorter. After repeated debugging, it was found that this was because the program settings executed both the card throwing action and the rotation action. Later, the applicant optimized the program. The card throwing action was only executed when the rotation action rotated to a certain direction and stopped. At this time, one card might be thrown out, or the instruction required N cards to be thrown out one by one. When the card throwing action in a certain stopping direction was completely completed, the rotation action was executed. This prevented the card from being rotated before it was completely thrown out and the card throwing action from being executed when the rotation had not completely stopped, so as to prevent the cards from having a short distance and falling into the mahjong machine's card pushing entrance below the card dealing machine.

[0095] By optimizing the program steps, the card dealing process is smoother and the dealing stroke is consistent, which improves the stability of the card dealing process.

[0096] The mainstream dice plate size on the market is currently 238mm in outer diameter for the top disc, which gradually shrinks to a total thickness of 50mm at the bottom. A deck of 54 cards has a width of 57mm to 60mm and a length of 87 to 98mm. The thickness of the 54 cards together is about 20mm. Under such extreme dimensions, the structural layout of the card dealing machine needs to fully consider the layout of different structures. The card bin deals cards horizontally, and a card-discharging rubber roller and a driven rubber roller are set outside the card-discharging port. The card-discharging motor and the card-feeding motor are arranged above the card-discharging rubber roller and the driven rubber roller. The card-splitting mechanism does not increase space and also serves as a bridge between the card-feeding mechanism and the card-discharging mechanism. The card-discharging motor and the card-feeding motor are arranged above the card-discharging rubber roller and the driven rubber roller.

[0097] This application fully considers that the original dice plate is a flying saucer-shaped structure that gradually shrinks from top to bottom. Figure 18 It can be seen that the card-discharging motor and the card-feeding motor of the present application are arranged obliquely above the driven rubber roller, and the driven rubber roller is arranged just to the left of the shortest distance surface between the card-discharging motor, the card-feeding motor and the card-discharging rubber roller. This design shortens the distance between the card-discharging rubber roller and the card-discharging motor and the card-feeding motor, making the overall card-dealing machine more compact and smaller in size; the card-discharging port is located to the right of the shortest distance surface between the card-discharging motor, the card-feeding motor and the card-discharging rubber roller. The space of this motor compartment includes the card-discharging motor, the card-feeding motor, the card-discharging rubber roller, the driven rubber roller and the card-discharging port. This arrangement makes maximum use of space, so that it can be adapted to the original dice plate's flying saucer-shaped structure that gradually shrinks from top to bottom. Figure 2 It can be seen that the card outlet is located exactly on the inclined surface of the same size as the original dice plate.

[0098] The usage process of the device of the present application is: first straighten the front and back of the playing cards into one direction, open the card compartment cover, put the cards face down into the card compartment, close the card compartment cover, and switch the device to the playing card mode through the control button. At this time, the lifting plate rises, and the device deals cards according to the preset number of cards and the number of people. At this time, the cards are dealt without rules. The rule is to rotate to the position of each person without rules, and the number of cards dealt each time is without rules until the preset number of cards for everyone is dealt. The card dealing is completed, the lifting plate is lowered into the table, and the player starts playing cards. When the player wants to play mahjong, he only needs to switch the mahjong mode with the button, and then enter the mahjong machine mode. Since the operation of the mahjong machine is a prior art, it will not be repeated here.

[0099] The specific licensing method includes the following steps:

[0100] S1. Deal mahjong cards;

[0101] S2, dealing playing cards;

[0102] S3: Switch to execute S1 or S2.

[0103] In the above-mentioned S2, the playing cards are dealt in an irregular manner.

[0104] The irregular dealing of cards means that the cards are randomly delivered to the predetermined positions or / and the number of cards dealt each time is random;

[0105] The number of cards dealt at the predetermined position is greater than or equal to one card and less than or equal to the total number of preset cards dealt at the predetermined position.

[0106] The rotation rule of the entertainment system is that after completing a 360° rotation, it needs to rotate 360° in the opposite direction to return to the starting point, and this cycle is repeated.

[0107] Each time the predetermined position is reached, the card dealing action is performed.

[0108] The predetermined position is a position divided equally into N parts of 360°.

[0109] Example 2:

[0110] The card dealing machine is provided with a card pressing rod instead of a spring. The card pressing rod includes a card pressing connecting rod and a card pressing plate, which can be integrated or separated. When the two are separated, a rotating mechanism can be provided at the connection between the card pressing connecting rod and the card pressing plate. When the card pressing plate is pressed on the playing cards, it always remains in a horizontal state. The length of the card pressing plate can be close to the length of the playing cards, and the width is half the width of the playing cards. The card pressing plate is centered to press the cards, which can ensure that the card pressing force is evenly distributed, making it more conducive to smooth card delivery.

[0111] A card pressing rod hook is provided at the corresponding position of the card compartment cover, which is convenient for clamping the card pressing rod on the card compartment cover when the card compartment cover is opened to place the cards. When the cards are placed, the card pressing rod is disengaged from the card pressing rod hook and pressed onto the cards.

[0112] Example 3:

[0113] The card dealing machine is provided with a battery for power supply, and does not need to be powered by the original power supply system of the automatic mahjong machine which utilizes an external direct-plug power supply. Instead, the battery is used to supply power only when the card dealing machine is not working.

[0114] The battery can be charged using a reserved charging port or wirelessly, that is, the battery used is a battery compatible with wireless charging, and a wireless charger is installed in the fully automatic mahjong table integrated with the card dealing machine or a separate card dealing table that supports the card dealing machine. In this way, the battery can be continuously charged as long as there is external power supply. If the lifting mechanism connected to the card dealing machine in the fully automatic mahjong table or a separate card dealing table that supports the card dealing machine is also equipped with an independent battery, even if there is no external power supply temporarily, the built-in battery can provide power, making it possible to play card games.

[0115] When powered by batteries, the portion of the card dealing machine above the rotating base is powered by batteries. In this case, the rotating motor and the lifting motor of the mahjong machine can be wirelessly controlled by the PCB program via wireless communication. In this case, the card dealing machine can be free from the requirement to rotate 360° in the opposite direction after each 360° rotation as in Example 1, and the rotating base baffle that matches the lower cover baffle of Example 1 is no longer required. The card dealing machine can rotate freely, providing greater entertainment and a better user experience. In this case, adaptive adjustments to the program on the control PCB of the card dealing machine are sufficient.

[0116] Example 4: A dustproof pad is set at the bottom of the card bin of the card dealing machine. Except for the flexible convex teeth of the card feeding rubber roller, the supporting frame and the card-discharging limit steel plate, the rest of the bottom is covered. This design is both beautiful and prevents dust from falling, thereby increasing the service life of the card dealing machine and reducing the failure rate of the card dealing machine.

[0117] Several supporting frames and card-discharging limit steel sheet installation parts are set at the bottom of the card bin, and the height of the two is slightly lower than the card-discharging limit steel sheet. On the one hand, after the card-discharging limit steel sheet is installed, it is exactly level with the card-discharging limit steel sheet, so that each card is in a horizontal state when it is delivered. On the other hand, since the height of the supporting frames is slightly lower than the card-discharging limit steel sheet, the supporting frames can support the cards to maintain their level without affecting the friction provided by the card-discharging limit steel sheet to deliver the cards, thereby ensuring the fluency and smoothness of the card dealing.

[0118] like Figure 5As shown, the support skeleton of the present application includes 4 pieces, two of which are evenly distributed behind the card feeding rubber roller, and the other two are distributed on both sides in front of the card feeding rubber roller. The mounting boss of the card discharging limit steel sheet is arranged in the center, so that the mounting boss is convenient for the installation of the card discharging limit steel sheet. At the same time, the card discharging limit steel sheet and the support skeletons on both sides can ensure that the cards pass smoothly through the card separating mechanism and enter the corresponding card discharging rubber roller and the driven rubber roller. The support skeleton saves raw materials and makes the bottom of the card bin do not need a solid bottom for support. It also plays a supporting role and reduces friction, so that the cards can be smoothly transferred from the card feeding mechanism to the card separating mechanism to the card discharging mechanism.

[0119] Embodiment 5: Because a rotating mechanism synchronous belt and synchronous wheel are provided between the rotating base and the upper shell of the card dealing machine body, a certain space is formed in the area outside the synchronous belt and synchronous wheel without any structure, resulting in severe shaking of the card dealing machine when the button is pressed. Therefore, in this embodiment, three groups of supporting rollers are arranged on the outer side of the rotating wheel of the rotating base. The supporting rollers are composed of a supporting base fixed to the rotating base and a roller that can roll around the supporting base. In this way, when the card dealing machine is operated and a button is pressed, the three groups of supporting rollers are evenly distributed in the certain space formed in the area outside the synchronous belt and synchronous wheel, so that there is no gap difference between the rotating base and the card dealing machine body. When the control button is pressed, the card dealing machine body will no longer shake. In addition, when the card dealing machine body rotates, it can rotate freely based on the rotation of the rollers.

[0120] Example 6: The three sides of the card compartment are provided with grooves for fingers to insert into and take out the cards. This design conforms to the design concept of ergonomics. When the cards are put in and need to be taken out, it is more convenient to use the thumb, index finger and middle finger to take out the cards.

[0121] Example 7: The synchronous belts and synchronous wheels of the card feeding mechanism, card discharging mechanism, and rotating mechanism in Example 1 can be replaced by gear meshing transmission or chain transmission, etc., which can also achieve the technical effects of this application.

[0122] Example 8: Adding a layer of sound insulation cotton to the outside of the existing motor reduces the noise of the card dealing machine's rotation, which can achieve a good quiet effect and improve the user's entertainment experience.

[0123] Example 9: The card dealing machine can be provided with a through-hole slip ring to transmit power from a fixed position to a rotating position. For example, the MT series through-hole slip ring of Movlon can be used. In this way, there is no need to stick to the embodiment 1, which requires a 360° reverse rotation to reset after each card dealing rotation. There is also no need to provide a rotating base baffle to match the lower cover baffle of embodiment 1. The card dealing machine can be rotated at will, which is more entertaining and provides a better experience. At the same time, the program of the control PCB board of the card dealing machine can be adaptively adjusted.

[0124] Example 10: The present application is not limited to the structures provided in the above embodiments. For example, the card dealing machine corresponding to the patent with authorization announcement number CN220193952U is integrated into the dice tray of the mahjong machine, and the structure of the dice tray is adaptively expanded. The two programs are interconnected, and the dice tray of the mahjong machine can also be modified in practice. Compared with the aforementioned embodiments, only the compatibility and scalability are slightly improved. The table hole in which the mahjong machine is embedded in the dice tray needs to be adaptively expanded to adapt to the integration of the modified card dealing machine and the dice tray. However, some structures in this entertainment system, such as the lifting mechanism of the dice tray, the existing buttons of the dice tray, the electronic screen and other control systems can still be shared by the mahjong machine and the card dealing machine, which greatly reduces the structural components, fully utilizes the space of the equipment, reduces the production cost, is easy to install and maintain, improves the user experience, and has unexpected technical effects.

[0125] Embodiment 11: The rotating mechanism of this embodiment is arranged at the bottom of the housing, and includes a rotating motor, a synchronous belt and synchronous wheel of the rotating mechanism, and a ball bearing.

[0126] The inner steel ring of the ball bearing is fixedly connected to the upper housing of the card dealing machine body, which also serves as the card dealing machine body. The outer steel ring of the ball bearing is fixedly connected to the rotating base and is also fixedly connected to the synchronous belt and synchronous pulleys of the rotating mechanism. A rotary motor is installed in the upper housing of the card dealing machine body, which drives the card dealing machine body in circumferential rotation via a synchronous belt. This axial motion is achieved by rotating the outer steel ring of the ball bearing, which is fixedly connected to the rotating base. When the motor rotates, it rotates around the synchronous pulleys corresponding to the fixed outer steel ring. As the card dealing machine body rotates circumferentially, the rotary motor installed in the upper housing also rotates in conjunction with the rotating motor.

[0127] The biggest difference from Example 1 is that the rotating motor is placed within the upper housing. If the rotating motor and gearbox of Example 1 are used directly, it can be placed on the other side of the card compartment, symmetrical to the card feed motor and card discharge motor. If only the rotating motor is used, the gearbox is removed and the rotating motor is placed vertically downward. In this case, it can be placed on any of the other three sides except the card discharge port. This design allows the rotating base to be designed to be very thin, and the thickness of the entire card dealer is only slightly thicker than that of a deck of cards. If the other structures remain unchanged, referring to Example 1, the overall performance is better than that of Example 1, and the device becomes lighter and thinner, providing more possibilities for further compatibility and scalability of the device. This embodiment can also be converted into a table-type card dealer or used directly as a portable card dealer. Compared to existing table-type card dealers, this application has a simpler structure, lower production costs, and easier maintenance and installation. When used directly as a portable card dealer, when the rotating base is designed to be very thin, the size of this application is even thinner, which will provide users with a better operating experience.
