Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poker machine doors, specifically to a poker dealing machine door that prevents card jamming. Background Technology

[0002] When a card dealing machine shards a deck of cards (dividing it into several smaller decks), the cards are conveyed one by one to different card compartments via a conveyor system. Normally, the card compartments are closed. If the compartment doors are not open, the cards are conveyed directly from the top of one compartment to the next. However, when a compartment door is open, because the door lies across the conveyor path, it blocks the cards being conveyed and causes them to fall into the open compartment.

[0003] Conventional playing cards are mostly made of paper. Static electricity generated by friction between the paper cards and the conveyor belt can cause the cards to sink more slowly into the card compartment or even adhere to the top of the compartment's bottom, especially during dry winter weather. If this happens in the card compartment of a card dealing machine, when subsequent cards enter, the position of the previous card may leave insufficient or too little space for the next card, causing cards to stick together and jam, thus affecting the normal card dealing operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a door for a poker dealing machine that prevents card jamming. This door can reduce the risk of cards jamming due to cards hitting each other inside the card compartment, thus ensuring the normal operation of the card dealing process.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above problems is:

[0006] A card-proof poker dealing machine's hatch includes:

[0007] Two guide plates are arranged in a straight line and are symmetrically positioned. The top surface of the guide plate is flat and the bottom surface is curved. The thickness of the guide plate gradually increases along the direction of the playing cards being transported.

[0008] Mounting rod, which is used for the connection between the right ends of the two guide pieces;

[0009] The bottom surface of the left end of the guide plate is provided with a pressing component that can be used to press down on the top playing card in the card compartment from top to bottom.

[0010] Preferably, a weight-reducing groove is formed on the bottom surface of the guide piece, so that an inner side piece and an outer side piece are formed on the guide piece, and a reinforcing piece is provided in the weight-reducing groove.

[0011] Preferably, the pressing member is a toggle member, the top end of which is located in the weight reduction groove and hinged to the guide plate, and its bottom end is exposed on the guide plate. The angle between the top surface of the guide plate and the toggle member is in the range of 0-90°, and a right-angle structure is provided on the outer end of the left end of the guide plate.

[0012] Preferably, the pressing member is an elastic member, the top end of which is located in the weight reduction groove and fixed on the guide plate, and its bottom end is exposed on the guide plate. The top surface of the guide plate is set at an angle to the elastic member, and a right-angle structure is provided on the outer end of the left end of the guide plate.

[0013] Preferably, the pressing member is a protrusion, and any one or more of the inner side plate, reinforcing plate and outer side plate are integrally connected with the protrusion, and the outer end of the left end of the guide plate is provided with a chamfer structure.

[0014] Preferably, a connector is provided between the two guide pieces. The connector is a tubular structure with open ends and is sleeved on the mounting rod. A baffle is provided on the connector, and the baffle is inclined relative to the top surface of the guide piece.

[0015] Preferably, the bottom end of the right end of the guide piece extends along the arc of the bottom surface of the guide piece to form an extension piece.

[0016] Preferably, the mounting rod includes a connecting part and a bent part for connecting the drive end of the pull electromagnet, the connecting part and the bent part are arranged perpendicularly to each other, and the connecting part passes through and is fixed on the guide plate.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and effects:

[0018] This invention utilizes the structural design of the guide plate and the mounting rod to install the guide plate at the card inlet of the card compartment. This allows the guide plate to ensure the safe transport of playing cards when the card compartment is closed, and also to guide the cards into the compartment when it is open, thus ensuring the card-distributing operation. Furthermore, the structure of the upper and lower pressure components of the guide plate ensures that when the card compartment changes from open to closed, the lower pressure component can press against any remaining cards that have not fully fallen into the compartment, leaving space for subsequent cards to enter. This reduces the risk of cards jamming due to cards overlapping, thus ensuring the smooth and normal operation of the card-distributing machine. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] 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.

[0028] Example 1.

[0029] See Figures 1-3 This embodiment discloses a door for a card-blocking poker dealing machine, comprising two guide plates 1 and a mounting rod 2 for connecting the right ends of the two guide plates 1. The two guide plates 1 are arranged in a straight line and are symmetrically arranged from left to right. The top surface of the guide plate 1 is flat and its bottom surface is arc-shaped. The thickness of the guide plate 1 gradually increases along the direction of card conveying. The bottom surface of the left end of the guide plate 1 is provided with a pressing member that can be used to press against the topmost poker in the card compartment from top to bottom.

[0030] In use, the hatch will be installed on the card inlet of the card compartment of the poker dealing machine (e.g., Figure 3 As shown in the diagram, during the straight-line transport of playing cards, the card inlet of the card compartment is closed through the door.

[0031] When the card inlet of the card compartment remains closed, the top surface of the guide plate 1 is horizontal. Playing cards are conveyed from above the door. When the door is rotated open, the guide plate 1 blocks the conveying path of the playing cards. As the playing cards continue to be conveyed, they come into contact with the guide plate 1 and enter the card compartment through the inlet under the guidance of the bottom surface of the guide plate 1. During the rotation and reset of the door, the pressing part on the guide plate 1 can prevent the playing cards in the card compartment from sinking, thus creating a gap between the playing cards and the bottom surface of the guide plate 1. This reduces the risk of subsequent playing cards entering the card compartment causing card jamming due to card tops, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the card dealing machine.

[0032] See Figure 1 The mounting rod 2 includes a connecting part 21 and a bent part 22 for connecting the drive end of the pull electromagnet. The connecting part 21 and the bent part 22 are arranged perpendicularly to each other, which improves the convenience of connection. The connecting part 21 passes through and is fixed on the guide plate 1.

[0033] See Figure 1 A connector 5 is provided between the two guide pieces 1. The connector 5 is a tubular structure with open ends, and its two ends are integrally connected to the two guide pieces 1 respectively. This improves the convenience of assembling the guide pieces 1 on the mounting rod 2 and also ensures the stability of the relative position between the guide pieces 1. The connector 5 is sleeved on the mounting rod 2 and is provided with a baffle 51. The baffle 51 is inclined relative to the top surface of the guide piece 1. When the card compartment is opened, the baffle 51 can be located on the conveying trajectory of the playing cards, which improves the restriction of the door on the conveying of the playing cards, thereby ensuring the effect of the playing cards entering the card compartment under the guidance of the guide piece 1.

[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 An extension piece 13 is formed by extending the bottom right end of the guide piece 1 along the arc of the bottom surface of the guide piece 1, which ensures the guiding effect of the guide piece 1 on the playing cards.

[0035] See Figure 2 The bottom surface of the guide plate 1 is provided with a weight reduction groove 6 so that an inner side plate 11 and an outer side plate 12 are formed on the guide plate 1. A reinforcing plate 61 is provided in the weight reduction groove 6. While ensuring the structural stability of the guide plate 1, the weight of the guide plate 1 is also reduced, thereby reducing the driving burden of the hatch.

[0036] See Figure 1 , Figure 2The pressing component is a protrusion 3, of which there are two and are integrally connected to the inner side plate 11 and the reinforcing plate 61 respectively. The outer end of the left side of the guide plate 1 has a chamfered structure 41, which reduces the area of ​​the left side of the guide plate 1 and prolongs the time when the playing cards are tilted and conveyed, thus reducing the risk of playing cards getting stuck on the guide plate 1 when the door is opened. When the door is closed, the protrusion 3 can press against the top playing card in the card compartment from top to bottom, so that the distance between the playing card and the guide component 1 remains constant, thus ensuring the smooth flow of subsequent playing cards into the card compartment.

[0037] Example 2.

[0038] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1, except that: the pressing component is a deflector 7, which is made of metal. The top of the deflector 7 is located in the weight-reducing groove 6 and hinged to the guide plate 1, while its bottom end is exposed on the guide plate 1. The angle between the top surface of the guide plate 1 and the deflector 7 is in the range of 0-90°. A right-angle structure 42 is provided on the outer left end of the guide plate 1. Through the cooperative arrangement of the deflector 7, the pressing effect of the guide plate 1 on the playing cards in the card compartment is improved. Moreover, since the deflector 7 can rotate relative to the guide plate 1, there can be an overlapping space between the pile of playing cards in the card compartment and the guide plate 1. This ensures that there is a gap between the playing cards in the card compartment and the bottom surface of the guide plate 1, while also improving the utilization rate of the card compartment space and ensuring the control of the size of the card compartment.

[0039] During the process of the playing cards entering the card compartment, when the playing cards come into contact with the actuating element 7, the playing cards can resist the actuating element 7 and push the actuating element 7 to rotate relative to the guide plate 1, so that the actuating element 7 moves away from the moving trajectory of the playing cards. When the compartment door is closed, the actuating element 7 rotates and resets relative to the guide plate 1 under the action of gravity, so that the actuating element 7 can resist the top playing card in the card compartment, thereby providing sufficient space for subsequent playing cards to enter the card compartment, reducing the risk of cards getting stuck due to cards on top, and ensuring the smoothness of the card dealing machine's card distributing operation.

[0040] Example 3.

[0041] See Figure 6 , Figure 7 The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of embodiment two, except that:

[0042] The pressing component is an elastic element 8. The top end of the elastic element 8 is located in the weight-reducing groove 6 and fixed to the guide plate 1, while its other bottom end protrudes from the guide plate 1. The top surface of the guide plate 1 is set at an angle to the elastic element 8, and a right-angle structure 42 is provided on the outer left end of the guide plate 1. Because the elastic element 8 can bend relative to the guide plate 1, there can be an overlapping space between the deck of cards in the card compartment and the guide plate 1. This ensures that there is a gap between the deck of cards in the card compartment and the bottom surface of the guide plate 1, while also improving the utilization rate of the card compartment space and ensuring control over the size of the card compartment.

[0043] During the process of the playing cards entering the card compartment, when the playing cards come into contact with the elastic element 8, the playing cards can resist the elastic element 8 and push the elastic element 8 to bend relative to the guide plate 1, so that the elastic element 8 moves away from the movement trajectory of the playing cards. When the elastic element 8 stops being pushed by the playing cards, the elastic element 8 returns to its elastic state. Thus, when the compartment door is closed, the elastic element 8 can hold the top playing card in the card compartment. This ensures that there is enough space between the playing cards in the card compartment and the bottom surface of the guide plate 1 for subsequent playing cards to enter the card compartment, reducing the risk of cards getting stuck due to cards on top and ensuring the smoothness of the card dealing machine's card distributing operation.

[0044] In this embodiment, the elastic element 73 can be an elastic element such as a spring, elastic steel wire, or elastic patch that can automatically return to its original shape after elastic deformation.

[0045] In both Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 3, the protrusion 3 structure in Embodiment 1 can be adopted, that is, the protrusion 3 is integrally connected on both the inner side plate 11 and the reinforcing plate 61, thereby ensuring the downward pressure effect of the guide plate on the playing cards in the card compartment in a combined manner.

[0046] 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.
