[0002] Playing cards, as one of the most common forms of entertainment in people's lives, are loved by a wide range of people of all ages due to their diverse gameplay and suitability for all ages. However, after each game, players need to arrange, shuffle, and deal the cards themselves. To save time in dealing, various machines have emerged to replace manual dealing, greatly improving the card game experience. Most existing card dealing machines are rotary machines, placed on a table and dealing cards by rotation. However, this type of machine is only suitable for smaller tables such as round or square tables, limiting the number of players. Therefore, there is a need to develop a card dealing machine suitable for longer tables and larger groups of players.

[0003] For example, a Chinese invention patent discloses an automatic card dealing machine [application number CN200720106743.2], which includes a card dispensing system and a card lifting system. The card lifting system includes a card collection compartment for placing card stacks and a lifting mechanism for raising and lowering the card collection compartment. The lifting mechanism is a swing arm structure, which includes a swing arm, a lifting motor, and a transmission mechanism. One end of the swing arm is movably connected to the base plate of the automatic card dealing machine, and the other end is fixedly connected to the card collection compartment. The lifting motor drives the transmission mechanism to act on the swing arm, causing the swing arm and the card collection compartment to rotate around the movably connected end of the swing arm as a pivot, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering action of the card collection compartment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the above-mentioned problems by providing a multi-station card-distributing mechanism for poker machines.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A multi-station card-dispensing mechanism for a poker machine includes a poker machine base plate and a card-dispensing seat. The card-dispensing seat is slidably connected to the poker machine base plate via a sliding structure. The poker machine base plate is provided with several card-dispensing areas, and the outlet of the card-dispensing seat can be moved to the entrance of the card-dispensing area.

[0007] In the multi-station card-distribution mechanism of the aforementioned poker machine, the card-distribution seat slides along a straight line on the base plate of the poker machine, and several card-distribution areas are placed sequentially along the moving direction of the card-distribution seat.

[0008] In the multi-station card-splitting mechanism of the poker machine described above, several partition frames are arranged sequentially on the poker machine base plate, and several card-splitting areas are set between each adjacent partition frame.

[0009] In the multi-station card-splitting mechanism of the poker machine described above, a placement piece is provided at the bottom of the dividing frame, and the placement piece extends into the bottom of the card-splitting area.

[0010] In the multi-station card-splitting mechanism of the poker machine described above, the partition frame near the entrance of the card-splitting area is curved, and the distance between two adjacent partition frames gradually decreases from the entrance of the card-splitting area to the other side.

[0011] In the multi-station card-splitting mechanism of the poker machine described above, the end of the separator near the entrance of the card-splitting area is pointed.

[0012] In the multi-station card dispensing mechanism of the aforementioned poker machine, the pushing structure includes a guide rod set on the bottom plate of the poker machine, the card dispensing seat is slidably set on the guide rod, and there is a gap between the bottom of the card dispensing seat and the bottom plate of the poker machine.

[0017] 1. The card-dealing seat moves horizontally to deal and distribute cards. Compared to the traditional rotating card dealing mechanism, this card-distributing mechanism is suitable for long tables and situations with many players.

[0018] 2. Several card-distributing areas are separated by dividing frames. Even when the card-playing seat distributes the cards to the sides, the dividing frames will block the cards from being mistakenly distributed to another card-distributing area.

[0019] 3. The width of the card distribution area is greatest at the entrance, which makes the card-playing seat more tolerant of errors when playing cards into the card distribution area. Even if there is a deviation in the angle of card distribution, it will still enter the card distribution area entrance smoothly and enter the corresponding card distribution area under the obstruction of the dividing frame.

[0020] 4. The front end of the divider is pointed and not very thick, which can prevent the card player from being blocked by the front end of the divider, thus preventing the card player from failing to play. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] This utility model provides a multi-station card-dispensing mechanism for a poker machine, combined with... Figure 1-3 As shown, the device includes a poker machine base plate and a card dispenser 1. The card dispenser 1 is slidably connected to the poker machine base plate via a sliding structure 20. The poker machine base plate is provided with several card-distribution areas 21. The outlet of the card dispenser 1 can be moved to the entrance of the card-distribution area 21.

[0027] In this embodiment, the card-dispensing seat 1 is used to dispense playing cards. When the card-dispensing seat 1 dispenses cards, the card-dispensing seat 1 moves laterally by the pushing structure 20, thereby distributing the playing cards to several card-distributing areas 21 in sequence, thus automatically completing the card-dispensing steps. Compared with the traditional rotating card-dispensing mechanism, this card-dispensing mechanism is suitable for long tables and situations with many players.

[0028] The card-dispensing seat 1 slides along a straight line on the bottom plate of the poker machine, and several card-dispensing areas 21 are placed sequentially along the moving direction of the card-dispensing seat 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, the horizontal spacing between several card-distribution areas 21 and the card-playing seat 1 is the same, and the playing cards are distributed to the same position on each card-distribution area 21. When playing cards, several playing cards are piled up in a row and played.

[0030] The poker machine base plate has several partition frames 22 arranged in sequence, and several card-splitting areas 21 are set between each adjacent partition frame 22.

[0031] In this embodiment, several card-distributing areas 21 are separated by dividing frames 22. Even when the playing card holder 1 distributes the playing cards to both sides, the dividing frames 22 will block the cards from being mistakenly distributed to another card-distributing area 21.

[0032] The bottom of the dividing frame 22 is provided with a placement piece 23, which extends into the bottom of the dividing area 21.

[0033] In this embodiment, the distance between the two placement plates 23 is less than the width of the playing cards. Therefore, when the playing cards are dealt at the card-dispensing station 1, the playing cards will be placed on the placement plates 23. The playing cards will not contact the bottom plate of the playing card machine and there will be a gap between them, which makes it convenient to transfer the playing cards from the bottom of the card pile to the table of the playing card machine.

[0034] The partition frame 22 is curved near the entrance of the signboard area 21, and the distance between two adjacent partition frames 22 gradually decreases from the entrance of the signboard area 21 to the other side.

[0035] In this embodiment, the width of the card-distribution area 21 is the largest at the entrance, which makes the card-distribution seat 1 more tolerant of errors when distributing cards into the card-distribution area 21. Even if there is a deviation in the angle of distributing the cards, it will still enter the entrance of the card-distribution area 21 smoothly, and enter the corresponding card-distribution area 21 under the obstruction of the dividing frame 22.

[0036] The end of the separator 22 near the entrance of the sign area 21 is pointed.

[0037] In this embodiment, the front end of the divider frame 22 is pointed and not very thick, which can prevent the card playing seat 1 from being blocked by the front end of the divider frame 22, resulting in the card playing failure.

[0038] The pushing structure 20 includes a guide rod 24 disposed on the bottom plate of the poker machine, the card dispensing seat 1 is slidably disposed on the guide rod 24, and there is a gap between the bottom of the card dispensing seat 1 and the bottom plate of the poker machine.

[0039] The pushing structure 20 includes a lead screw 25 mounted on the bottom plate of the poker machine. The card dispensing seat 1 is screwed to the lead screw 25 via a threaded sleeve. It also includes a drive motor 27. The output shaft of the drive motor 27 is connected to the lead screw 25 via at least one set of rotating wheels 28 and a toothed belt 29.

[0040] The poker machine base plate is provided with a blocking frame 30, the drive motor 27 is located on the outside of the blocking frame 30, the rotating wheel 28 is rotatably located inside the blocking frame 30, and the output shaft of the drive motor 27 extends into the blocking frame 30 and is connected to the rotating wheel 28.

[0041] The pushing structure 20 includes a drive motor 27 mounted on the card-dispensing base 1. The output shaft of the drive motor 27 is provided with a rotating wheel 28, which is meshed with a rack 31 mounted on the bottom plate of the poker machine.

[0042] In this technical solution, the movement of the card-dispensing seat 1 has two embodiments. In one embodiment, the drive motor 27 operates, and the lead screw 25 rotates through the transmission between the rotating wheel 28 and the toothed belt 29. The card-dispensing seat 1 moves laterally through the screw connection between the lead screw 25 and the threaded sleeve. The rotating wheel 28 and part of the toothed belt 29 are hidden inside by the shielding frame 30 to prevent impurities from entering and causing the rotating wheel 28 to jam. In the other embodiment, the drive motor 27 installed on the card-dispensing seat 1 operates to rotate the rotating wheel 28. The card-dispensing seat 1 moves laterally through the meshing of the rotating wheel 28 and the rack 31.

[0043] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0044] Although this article frequently uses terms such as card-playing base 1, pushing structure 20, card-separating area 21, partition frame 22, placement piece 23, guide rod 24, lead screw 25, threaded sleeve, drive motor 27, rotating wheel 28, toothed belt 29, shielding frame 30, and rack 31, these terms are used merely to more conveniently describe and explain the essence of this utility model; interpreting them as any kind of additional limitation would contradict the spirit of this utility model.
