Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of playing card conveying equipment, specifically to a walking wheel structure for a playing card dealing machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of distributing cards, a poker dealing machine needs to convey vertically stacked playing cards from the card box horizontally, one card at a time, through each compartment. The cards enter the compartment by opening it during transport. Conventional poker dealing machines typically use belts to transport the cards, and to ensure smooth transport between adjacent compartments, rollers are installed between them. This allows the cards to be transported stably through the gaps between the rollers and the belt. However, due to differences in the thickness of different types of playing cards, if the cards are too thick, they will affect the normal passage through the gaps, even causing blockages. Conversely, if the cards are too thin, they will not be transported effectively, thus affecting the performance of the poker dealing machine. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wheel structure for a poker dealing machine. This wheel structure can ensure that the conveying device of the poker dealing machine can stably and effectively convey poker cards of different thicknesses, reduce the limitations of poker card thickness on the use of the poker dealing machine, and expand the application range of the poker dealing machine.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above problems is:
[0005] The card dealing machine's roller mechanism includes:
[0006] Mounting rods are used to mount the card dealing machine's frame onto the drive wheels;
[0007] Two brackets are provided with an oblong hole between their two ends, and the mounting rod passes through the oblong hole and is mounted on the two brackets.
[0008] The diameter of the mounting rod is smaller than the diameter of the waist-shaped hole. Two rollers are rotatably arranged between the two support seats. The two rollers are symmetrically arranged with respect to the mounting rod. A torsion spring is provided between the mounting rod and the support seats to apply a force to the mounting rod to move downward relative to the support seats.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the roller includes a mounting shaft and a roller. The two ends of the mounting shaft are respectively inserted and abut against two support seats from the inside to the outside. The roller is in the shape of a cylindrical ring, and the inner diameter of the roller is larger than the diameter of the mounting shaft. The roller is sleeved on the mounting shaft and can rotate.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the roller is fitted with a number of equally spaced rubber rings, the outer diameter of which is larger than the outer diameter of the roller and is embedded in the roller.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, annular grooves for accommodating the torsion arms on the torsion spring are provided on both ends of the mounting shaft.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a first extension seat and a second extension seat are respectively provided on both ends of the bracket base. The first extension seat and the second extension seat are both arranged parallel to the mounting rod. The length of the first extension seat is greater than the length of the second extension seat. The first extension seat and the second extension seat are both provided with grooves for accommodating the mounting shaft, and the annular groove is exposed on the groove.
[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the first extension seats on the two bracket seats are arranged diagonally between each other and between the second extension seats.
[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, slots are provided at both ends of the mounting rod. The slots are circular and contain retaining rings. A torsion spring is clamped between the retaining rings and the bracket.
[0015] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a baffle is sandwiched between the retaining ring, the torsion spring and the bracket seat in sequence, and the baffle is sleeved on the mounting rod.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and effects:
[0017] This invention, through the structural arrangement between the support base and the mounting rod, and the torsion spring between them, allows the roller drum to support the conveying of playing cards while also allowing for relative movement between the mounting rod and the support base. This enables the gap between the roller drum and the belt to be changed, ensuring stable and effective conveying of playing cards by the card dealing machine's conveying device. It also allows the conveying device to accommodate playing cards of different thicknesses, reducing the limitations imposed by playing card thickness on the card dealing machine's use and thus expanding its applicability.

[0021] The components include: mounting rod 1, bracket seat 2, waist-shaped hole 21, roller cylinder 3, mounting shaft 31, roller 32, torsion spring 4, torsion arm 41, rubber ring 5, annular groove 6, first extension seat 71, second extension seat 72, groove 73, slot 81, retaining ring 82, and baffle 9. Detailed Implementation
[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0023] See Figures 1-3 The poker card dealing machine's drive wheel structure in this embodiment includes a mounting rod 1 and two support seats 2. The mounting rod 1 is used to mount the drive wheel on the frame of the poker card dealing machine. An oblong hole 21 is provided between the two ends of the support seat 2. The mounting rod 1 passes through the oblong hole 21 and is mounted on the two support seats 2. The diameter of the mounting rod 1 is smaller than the diameter of the oblong hole 21. Two roller cylinders 3 are rotatably arranged between the two support seats 2. The two roller cylinders 3 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the mounting rod 1. A torsion spring 4 is provided between the mounting rod 1 and the support seats 2 to apply a force to the mounting rod 1 relative to the support seats 2 for downward movement.
[0024] In use, the walking wheel is installed between the two compartments of the poker dealing machine via the mounting rod 1. During the process of the poker cards being transported by the belt, the poker cards can be stably transported from the front compartment to the back compartment with the support of the roller cylinder 3.
[0025] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The roller cylinder 3 includes a mounting shaft 31 and a roller 32. The two ends of the mounting shaft 31 are respectively inserted and abut against two support seats 2 from the inside out. The roller 32 is annular in shape, with an inner diameter larger than the diameter of the mounting shaft 31. The roller 32 is fitted onto the mounting shaft 31 and is rotatable. This structural design of the roller cylinder 3 facilitates installation between the two support seats 2 while also ensuring that the roller cylinder 3 can rotate relative to the support seats 2, thereby guaranteeing the smooth transport of playing cards.
[0026] See Figure 2 The roller 32 is fitted with several rubber rings 5 arranged at equal intervals. The outer diameter of the rubber rings 5 is larger than the outer diameter of the roller 32 and they are embedded in the roller 32, which increases the friction between the roller 32 and the playing cards and ensures the effectiveness and smoothness of the playing cards transportation.
[0027] See Figure 2 , Figure 3Both ends of the mounting shaft 31 are provided with annular grooves 6 for accommodating the torsion arm 41 on the torsion spring 4, which can limit the movement of the torsion spring 4 relative to the mounting rod 1, thereby ensuring the stability of the force applied by the torsion spring 4 between the bracket seat 2 and the mounting rod 1.
[0028] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 The bracket 2 has a first extension seat 71 and a second extension seat 72 at both ends, which are parallel to the mounting rod 1. The length of the first extension seat 71 is greater than that of the second extension seat 72. Both the first extension seat 71 and the second extension seat 72 have grooves 73 for accommodating the mounting shaft 31, and the annular groove 6 is exposed on the grooves 73. The arrangement of the first extension seat 71 and the second extension seat 72 improves the stability of the mounting shaft 31 on the bracket 2, and also allows the torsion spring 4 and the roller 32 to be located on opposite sides of the bracket 2, reducing the risk of mutual interference and ensuring the normal use of the rollers.
[0029] See Figure 2 The first extension seat 71 and the second extension seat 72 on the two bracket seats 2 are diagonally arranged, so that the same torsion spring 4 can be used on the running wheel, which reduces the number of different parts and also reduces the manufacturing difficulty and cost of the parts.
[0030] See Figure 3 The mounting rod 1 has slots 81 at both ends. The slots 81 are circular and have retaining rings 82 inside. The torsion spring 4 is sandwiched between the retaining rings 82 and the bracket seat 2, which reduces the risk of the torsion spring 4 falling off the mounting rod 1 and ensures the stability of the torsion spring 4's performance.
[0031] See Figure 3 A baffle 9 is sandwiched between the retaining ring 82, the torsion spring 4, and the bracket seat 2 in sequence. The baffle 9 is sleeved on the mounting rod 1, which improves the effect of restricting the position of the torsion spring 4 on the mounting rod 1.
[0032] The above description in this specification is merely illustrative of the present invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not depart from the content of this specification or exceed the scope defined in the claims, all of which shall fall within the protection scope of this invention.
