[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, such as... Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model includes a card dealing machine body 1, a card receiving slot 2 disposed on the card dealing machine body 1, and a card dealing device 3 for distributing the cards to be dealt in the card receiving slot 2. The card receiving slot 2 is provided with an adjusting bracket 4, which includes one or two sliding baffles 41. The sliding baffles 41 are slidably connected to the card receiving slot 2 in the left and right direction. Compared with the existing traditional automatic card dealing machines that can only be used for automatic card dealing of one size of playing cards, this utility model can form card receiving intervals 5 with different widths by moving the sliding baffles 41 in the card receiving slot 2, so that it can be better used for automatic card dealing of various sizes of playing cards, and has stronger practicality.

[0021] In this embodiment, the adjusting bracket 4 of the present invention includes two sliding baffles 41, which together form a card-receiving area 5 with different widths. Of course, in other embodiments, the adjusting bracket 4 of the present invention may also include only one sliding baffle 41, which together with the side wall of the receiving groove forms a card-receiving area 5 with different widths. Compared with the adjusting bracket 4 including only one sliding baffle 41, the adjusting bracket 4 of the present invention preferably includes two sliding baffles 41. The two sliding baffles 41 enable the card to be dealt to be better centered in the middle position of the card-receiving groove 2, so as to better deal the cards.

[0022] In this embodiment, the adjustment bracket 4 is detachably installed in the card slot 2. By removing the adjustment bracket 4 from the card slot 2, another type of card dealing suitable for the width of the card slot 2 can be added.

[0023] The adjusting bracket 4 includes a lifting member 42, and the top of the front end of the sliding baffle 41 is slidably connected to the lifting member 42. The lifting member 42 not only facilitates the smooth sliding of the sliding baffle 41, but also makes it easier to pick up and put down the adjusting bracket 4, thus making it easier to put the adjusting bracket 4 into the container slot 2 or to take the adjusting bracket 4 out of the container slot 2.

[0024] The adjusting bracket 4 includes a snap-fit ​​component 43. The bottom rear end of the sliding baffle 41 is slidably connected to the snap-fit ​​component 43. The bottom rear end of the card holder 2 is formed with a snap-fit ​​groove 21 that mates with the snap-fit ​​component 43. When the adjusting bracket 4 is installed in the card holder 2, the snap-fit ​​component 43 is located in the snap-fit ​​groove 21. The snap-fit ​​component 43 facilitates the smooth sliding of the sliding baffle 41. In addition, the snap-fit ​​component 43 is recessed in the snap-fit ​​groove 21, which can avoid interference with the placement of the cards to be dealt, making it more practical.

[0025] The bottom rear end of the card holder 2 has a card retrieval notch 22, which makes it easier to take out and put in the cards in the card holder 2.

[0026] The card dealing device 3 includes a pre-feeding roller 31 rotatably connected to the bottom of the card receiving slot 2 in a front-back rotation direction, and at least two delivery rollers 32. Each delivery roller 32 is rotatably connected to the front of the pre-feeding roller 31 in a front-back direction, and the delivery rollers 32 are arranged side by side in a front-back direction. The card dealing device 3 also includes a pre-feeding power mechanism 33 for driving the pre-feeding roller 31 to rotate, and several delivery power mechanisms 34 for driving each delivery roller 32 to rotate. In this embodiment, the front-back direction is the card dispensing direction, that is, each delivery roller 32 is rotatably connected to the pre-feeding roller 31 near the card dispensing end in a card dispensing direction. Compared with the existing card dealing machine which only has one delivery roller 32, the card dealing device 3 of this utility model includes at least two delivery rollers 32 arranged side by side in a front-back direction, which has dual or even multiple pushing forces, and can automatically deal cards more smoothly and stably. Even if the cards are old, there will be no card jamming. The overall user experience is better and it is more suitable for the market.

[0027] In this embodiment, the pre-feeding power mechanism 33 and each of the delivery power mechanisms 34 are of the same structure, which can simultaneously drive the pre-feeding roller 31 and each of the delivery rollers 32 to rotate. That is, only one power mechanism is needed to complete the card dealing. Not only is the overall structure more compact and smaller in size, but the overall cost is also lower and the practicality is stronger. Of course, in other embodiments, the pre-feeding power mechanism 33 and each of the delivery power mechanisms 34 can also be independent power mechanisms.

[0028] The pre-feeding power mechanism 33 or the delivery power mechanism 34 includes a motor 331, a pre-feeding shaft 332 inserted into the pre-feeding roller 31, and several delivery shafts 333 respectively inserted into each delivery roller 32. The output end of the motor 331 is connected to the delivery shaft 333 inserted into the delivery roller 32 furthest from the pre-feeding roller 31 via a synchronous belt module 334. Each pair of adjacent delivery shafts 333 is connected to each other via a synchronous belt module 334. The delivery shaft 333 inserted into the delivery roller 32 closest to the pre-feeding roller 31 is connected to the pre-feeding shaft 332 via a synchronous belt module 334. This utility model can realize the simultaneous rotation of the pre-feeding roller 31 and each delivery roller 32 and complete the card dealing by cooperating with one motor 331 and several synchronous belt modules 334. It not only has a simple and reasonable overall structure, but also a compact structure, small size, and lower overall cost.

[0029] The delivery power mechanism 34 includes a motor 331, which is positioned above the delivery roller 32. Compared to placing the motor 331 below the delivery roller 32, the motor 331 would undoubtedly occupy some space and prevent the delivery roller 32 from being made too low in the vertical direction. In this invention, the delivery roller 32 is positioned below the motor 331, allowing for a lower vertical height. Consequently, the card outlet is closer to the bottom, resulting in a more stable landing of the cards and preventing them from flying around, thus enhancing its practicality.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] Adjust the sliding baffle 41 according to the required card size to form a card-holding area 5 with a corresponding width. Place the card to be dealt into the card-holding area 5, and the card-dealing device 3 will automatically deal the cards. This utility model can form card-holding areas 5 with different widths by moving the sliding baffle 41 in the card-holding slot 2, so it can be better suited for automatic dealing of various card sizes and has stronger practicality.

[0032] Of course, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of the present utility model patent application are included in the scope of the present utility model patent application.
