[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-7 The present invention will be described in further detail below.

[0029] This utility model discloses a card dealing device for a card dealing machine.

[0030] Reference Figures 1-7 A card dealing device for a card dealing machine includes a box body, which has a card dealing compartment 1, a shuffling device, and a card dispensing compartment 2. The card dispensing compartment 2 has a card inlet and a card outlet. The card dealing compartment 1 has a second card inlet (connected to the first card outlet), a second card outlet (connected to the first card inlet), and a card dealing outlet. The shuffling device has a lifting component 8 and a card-dispensing mechanism. The lifting component 8 can be manipulated to raise the cards in the card dealing compartment 1 to the second card outlet. The card-dispensing mechanism has a card-dispensing component 4, which can be manipulated to dispense the cards on the lifting component 8 into the card dispensing compartment 2 through the first card inlet. During multiple shuffles, the lifting component 8 rises, the card-dispensing component 4 dispenses the cards on the lifting component 8 into the card dispensing compartment 2 through the first card inlet, the lifting component 8 descends, and then returns to the lifting component 8 through the first card outlet in the card dispensing compartment 2. This cycle can be repeated multiple times to complete multiple shuffles.

[0031] In this embodiment, the card dealing chamber 1 has a card dealing cavity inside, forming the card dealing chamber 1, and the top opening forms the card dispensing port 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, the shuffling mechanism includes at least two sets of dealing wheels 6, each set of dealing wheels 6 forming a card-distributing component 4. The card-distributing component 4 is the dealing wheel 6, and the two sets of dealing wheels 6 are respectively disposed on both sides of the lifting plate.

[0033] In this embodiment, the dealing chamber can be equipped with a separate dealing device 12. The dealing device 12 is located at the bottom of the dealing chamber. The dealing device 12 adopts the dealing structure of the prior art. The dealing device 12 is used to issue the cards on the lifting member 8 from the dealing port. In this embodiment, the dealing device 12 includes a dealing wheel 6 and a motor. The dealing wheel 6 is provided in multiple sets, and each set is spaced apart along the dealing direction. The motor is used to drive the dealing wheel 6 to rotate, so that the cards on the lifting member 8 are issued through the corresponding dealing port. The dealing wheel 6 can be manipulated to rotate so that the cards on the lifting member 8 are issued from the dealing port.

[0034] In other embodiments, the card-dispensing component 4 can be used to dispense cards from the lifting component 8 through the card-dispensing port 11. With this structure, the card-dispensing port 11 is located on the same side as the card-dispensing port of the card-distributing compartment 2. The shuffling mechanism includes at least two sets of card-dispensing wheels 6, each set of card-dispensing wheels 6 forming the card-dispensing component 4. The card-dispensing component 4 is a card-dispensing wheel 6, and the two sets of card-dispensing wheels 6 are respectively disposed on both sides of the lifting plate.

[0035] In this embodiment, the lifting component 8 is a lifting plate with a through hole for the dealing wheel 6 to pass through. The dealing wheel 6 passes through the through hole and contacts the card on the lifting component 8, driving the card to be issued from the dealing port.

[0036] At least one card dealing port 11 is provided. In this embodiment, there is one card dealing port 11. In other embodiments, multiple card dealing ports 11 can be provided to improve card dealing efficiency. If the number of card dealing ports 11 increases, only the corresponding card dealing mechanism needs to be replaced. For example, when there are two card dealing ports 11, the card dealing wheel 6 can be turned in both directions to make the corresponding cards be issued from the two card dealing ports 11 respectively.

[0037] In this embodiment, multiple card-distributing compartments 2 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the card-dealing compartment 1. Specifically, there are two card-distributing compartments 2, which are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the card-dealing compartment 1.

[0038] The card distribution compartment 2 is equipped with a card delivery component 7, which is used to transport the cards in the card distribution compartment 2 to the card dealing compartment 1 through a card outlet and a card inlet. The card delivery component 7 uses rollers, which are driven by a motor. The outer contour of the rollers is provided with anti-slip parts. When the card comes into contact with the anti-slip parts, it can prevent the card from moving further. When the rollers rotate, they drive the card to move, so that the card enters the card dealing compartment 1 from the card outlet. The height of the card outlet can be used to move only one card or multiple cards. In this embodiment, it is used to move only one card.

[0039] The bottom of the card distribution compartment 2 is tilted upwards, which facilitates the smooth sliding or ejection of the cards. For example, a tilt of 15 to 75 degrees helps the card delivery component 7 below the card distribution compartment 2 to push the cards forward.

[0040] The card delivery component 7 can be delivered using rollers, drums, push rods, gears, or other methods.

[0041] In this embodiment, the card-dispensing belt transmission assembly 3 is mounted on the lifting plate. The belt, driving pulley, driven pulley and motor are mounted on the lifting plate. As the lifting plate moves together, the motor can rotate back and forth, driving the cards into different card inlets. The card-dispensing component 4 is mounted on the belt. The belt can be manipulated to move the card-dispensing component 4, which then dispenses the cards placed on the belt into the card-sorting compartment 2 through the card inlet.

[0042] In other embodiments, a belt, a drive pulley, a driven pulley, and a motor are located on the top of the housing. The belt is installed between the drive pulley and the driven pulley. The motor can rotate back and forth, driving the cards into different card inlets. A card-pulling component 4 is located on the belt. The belt can be manipulated to move the card-pulling component 4, which will push the cards on the lifting component 8 through the card inlet into the card distribution compartment 2.

[0043] The shuffling device also includes a lifting mechanism 5, which is used to drive the lifting component 8 to move up and down in the vertical direction. There are many ways to drive the lifting component 8 to move up and down, including cylinder, electric cylinder, sprocket and chain, gear and belt, belt and pulley, screw and nut, etc. In this embodiment, the screw and nut method is used.

[0044] The shuffling process is as follows:

[0045] 1. Place the cards into the corresponding card slots 2;

[0046] 2. Card Distribution Unit 7 delivers the playing cards from Card Distribution Unit 2 into Card Distribution Unit 1;

[0047] 3. If multiple shuffling is required, after all cards in the distribution box 2 have entered the dealing box 1;

[0048] 4. The lifting component 8 in the dealing chamber 1 rises, and at the same time, the card-dispensing belt pulley located at the top of the dealing chamber 1 begins to rotate in both directions, driving the belt and the card-dispensing component 4 fixed on the belt to move left and right, dispensing the delivered playing cards into the corresponding card-dispensing chambers 2. This step is repeated to complete the shuffling.

[0049] Other card-dispensing methods are similar to this shuffling process, as those skilled in the art will know, and will not be described in detail here.

[0050] In this embodiment, the card dealing port 11 is inclined downwards in the horizontal direction. The end of the card dealing port 11 closest to the card dealing chamber 1 is the higher end, giving the card dealing port 11 an inclined surface. On the one hand, this can improve the card dealing speed and make the cards be dealt more smoothly. On the other hand, the inclined surface reduces the possibility of foreign objects entering the card dealing chamber 1 through the card dealing port 11, effectively ensuring the cleanliness of the inside of the card dealing chamber 1 and effectively ensuring the smooth operation of the card dealing mechanism.

[0051] The box can be rotated or fixed along its own axis. In this embodiment, the box can rotate along its own axis to deal cards. The box includes an upper box 9 and a lower box 10. The card dealing port 11 is located in the upper box 9, and the microphone 12 is located in the lower box 10. The upper box 9 is rotatably mounted on the lower box 10, and this rotational configuration can increase the number of participating users. The lower box 10 is provided with a rotating mechanism for driving the upper box 9 to rotate. The rotating mechanism can be a motor, a rotary cylinder, a motor, or a rotary platform. The rotary platform can be a Gewa rotary platform, all of which are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0052] In this embodiment, the cards can be playing cards, bridge cards, game cards, etc., and the spacing of the storage doors is set according to the type of card game being played.

[0053] This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this utility model. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this utility model. The above descriptions are only preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that due to the limitations of textual expression, while there are objectively infinite specific structures, those skilled in the art can make several improvements, modifications, or changes without departing from the principles of this utility model, and can also combine the above technical features in an appropriate manner.
