Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of card machine technology, specifically to a foldable card machine. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional card games, actions such as collecting, shuffling, and dealing cards are usually performed manually. This traditional method has significant limitations: First, players need to frequently perform repetitive actions like collecting and shuffling cards, which is labor-intensive and easily leads to fatigue; second, human error is unavoidable in manual operation, such as insufficient shuffling or incorrect card dealing order, which directly affects the smoothness and experience of the game; more seriously, there is a possibility of cheating in the manual operation stage, such as peeking at the card order or hiding cards, which seriously undermines the fairness and impartiality of the game.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, various automated card-processing devices, known as automatic card machines, have gradually emerged in the market. These devices utilize automation technology to perform functions such as shuffling and dealing cards, significantly reducing the workload for players, minimizing human error, and effectively preventing cheating, thereby ensuring the fairness and entertainment value of the game. However, existing automatic card machines generally suffer from bulky size, often occupying considerable space when not in use, making them inconvenient to store and transport. This, to some extent, limits the further expansion of their application scenarios. Therefore, optimizing the size and portability of the device while ensuring complete functionality has become an important direction for the future development of automatic card machines. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the existing technical problems, this utility model provides a foldable card machine.

[0005] To achieve the objectives of this utility model, the following technical solution is adopted:

[0006] A foldable card machine includes a foldable table and a card machine body. The table includes a table body and a table wing body disposed on one side of the table body.

[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

[0041] In this document, terms such as "upper," "lower," "inner," and "outer" are established based on the positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. Depending on the drawings, the corresponding positional relationships may also change. Therefore, they should not be interpreted as an absolute limitation on the scope of protection. Moreover, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish one component from another that has the same name, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these components.

[0042] Example 1, see Figure 1-11This embodiment provides a foldable card machine, including a foldable table body 1 and a card machine body 2. The table body 1 includes a table main body 11 and a table wing 12 disposed on one side of the table main body 11. The table wing 12 can be folded relative to the table main body 11. The card machine body 2 is installed inside the table main body 11, and the table main body 11 is provided with a card picking unit 3 that receives the cards issued by the card machine body 2 and exposes the cards to the table surface of the table main body 11.

[0043] By designing the table body 1 as a foldable structure, the table wings 12 can fold relative to the main table body 11, significantly reducing the overall size of the card machine. When not in use, the card machine can be folded for storage, occupying little space, maximizing space utilization, and facilitating storage and transportation. This solves the problem of traditional automatic card machines being bulky and inconvenient to store and transport. Furthermore, because the device is foldable, its application scenarios are no longer limited to fixed locations, and it can be widely used in various occasions such as family gatherings, outdoor activities, and card game competitions, further expanding the market potential of automatic card machines.

[0044] The card-playing machine 2 is integrated into the table body 11, which has a mounting slot. The card-playing machine 2 is installed in the mounting slot. The card-playing machine 2 includes a card-sorting device and a card-dealing device. The card-sorting device organizes the scattered cards into an orderly state, and then the card-dealing device flips the sorted cards face down and deals them as needed. The card-retrieving unit 3 can receive the cards dealt by the card-dealing device and expose them to the table surface of the table body 11. That is, the card-playing machine in this embodiment realizes the integrated operation of shuffling, dealing, and playing cards. The card-playing machine 2 is organically combined with the table body 1, with a compact structural design. Players do not need to operate additional equipment and can directly play the game, which meets functional requirements and is suitable for various scenarios such as home entertainment and card rooms. The table body 11 includes a main tabletop and a base with accommodating space. The table wing 12 includes a folding tabletop 121 and folding legs 122. The folding tabletop 121 is foldably mounted on the main tabletop, and the folding legs 122 are foldably mounted on the base. It can be understood that the tabletop of the table body 11 refers to the upper surface of the main tabletop.

[0045] See Figure 4 , 6 The card-playing machine 2 includes a top plate 21 that completes the tabletop of the main table 11 and a machine body 22 disposed within the mounting slot. The top plate 21 is movably or rotatably disposed on the main table 11 or the machine body 22 to open or close the card-dispensing opening 23. Specifically, when cards need to be placed into the machine body 22, the top plate 21 is controlled to move or rotate to open the card-dispensing opening 23 so that the cards can be placed into the machine body 22. After placement, the top plate 21 is controlled to move or rotate to close the card-dispensing opening 23, thus completing the tabletop of the main table 11. Preferably, the top plate 21 is located at the top of the mounting slot.

[0046] To enhance the ease of operation and intelligence of the card machine, a comprehensive control system is integrated on the top plate 21 or the tabletop 11. In the first embodiment, a control panel is provided on the top plate 21 or the tabletop 11. A specific example is provided: a touch-sensitive control panel is embedded in the surface of the top plate 21. This panel features an anti-accidental touch design and can have the following functions: displaying the working status of the card machine 2 (ready / shuffling / dealing, etc.), controlling the operation of the top plate 21 (open / pause / close), and adjusting the working mode of the card machine 2 (shuffling speed / dealing order, etc.). In the second embodiment, control buttons are provided on the top plate 21 or the tabletop 11. A specific example is provided: a physical button area is provided on the surface of the top plate 21, including: an emergency stop button (red raised design for quick stopping in emergencies); a door opening / closing control button (mechanical button providing tactile feedback); and a function switching button (knob design for mode selection). Additionally, the top plate 21 and the main body 22 can be intelligently linked. For example, after a shutdown command is issued, the main body 22 will automatically activate standby mode. Alternatively, after use, a one-button shutdown function can automatically control the top plate 21 to close the card slot 23 and the main body 22. The specific functions of the control panel and control buttons can be configured as needed and are not limited.

[0047] To make this embodiment clearer, the card-handling device 2 will be further described below. The card-handling device 2 can be used for card arrangement and dealing, as well as for shuffling, arrangement, and dealing. The card-handling device 2 can be of any form; this embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the card-handling device 2, but is merely an example. The card arrangement device of the card-handling device 2 can be the card arrangement device disclosed in application number 2021205321235, and the card dealing device can be the card dealing device disclosed in application number 2021102712956.

[0048] See Figure 1-2 To further enhance the practicality and user experience of the card machine, preferably, the top surface of the card machine body 2 is approximately flush with the tabletop of the table body 11. This design has the following advantages: 1. Improved space utilization: When the card machine is not used for gaming, the tabletop of the table body 1 can be used as a regular table, such as for placing items or engaging in other entertainment activities, thus improving space utilization. 2. Avoids inconvenience in placing items: The flush design of the top surface of the card machine body 2 with the tabletop of the table body 11 avoids the problems of instability and easy slippage of items caused by the card machine body 2 protruding from the tabletop of the table body 11 in traditional card machines, making it more convenient and safer to use. 3. Aesthetically pleasing: The flush design makes the card machine more concise and aesthetically pleasing, and more harmonious with modern home environments.

[0049] Furthermore, the card-collecting unit 3 includes several lifting card-collecting components (not shown) that are vertically and vertically mounted on the table body 11. When the lifting card-collecting components are lowered to the card-holding state, the cards issued by the card-collecting machine 2 can move to the top of the lifting card-collecting components. When the lifting card-collecting components are raised to the card-collecting state, the player can take the cards from the top of the lifting card-collecting components. The table body 11 has several card-dispensing openings corresponding to the lifting card-collecting components. When the lifting card-collecting components are raised to the card-collecting state, at least the top of the lifting card-collecting components is located at the card-dispensing opening, so that the player can take the cards.

[0050] Furthermore, when the card-retrieving mechanism is raised to the card-retrieving state, its top surface is approximately flush with the tabletop of the main table 11. Players can naturally retrieve cards as if taking them directly from the tabletop, without needing to adjust their gestures or postures, significantly improving the comfort and convenience of card retrieval. Maintaining the overall flatness and aesthetics of the tabletop while in the card-retrieval state offers advantages such as improved space utilization, avoiding inconvenience in placing items, and a more concise and attractive appearance. Additionally, players do not need to worry about cards falling or the card-retrieving mechanism colliding with other objects while retrieving cards, reducing the possibility of accidental operation and further enhancing the ease of use and reliability of the card machine.

[0051] Example 2: In this example, the parts that are the same as in Example 1 are given the same reference numerals, and the same text descriptions are omitted.

[0052] See Figure 1-11 Compared to Embodiment 1, the card-taking unit 3 provided in this embodiment includes several flip-type card-taking components 31 rotatably mounted on the table body 11. Each flip-type card-taking component 31 has a card-holding slot 311 for holding cards. When the flip-type card-taking component 31 is flipped to the card-holding state, the cards issued by the card-taking machine 2 can enter the card-holding slot 311. When the flip-type card-taking component 31 is flipped to the card-taking state, the player can take the cards from the card-holding slot 311.

[0053] The specific working process of the card machine in this embodiment is as follows:

[0054] Dealing phase: Card machine 2 deals the sorted cards into the card slot 311 of the flip card take-up component 31 which is in the card holding state.

[0055] State switching: Flip the card-drawing component 31 to switch it from the card-playing state to the card-drawing state.

[0056] Card draw phase: Players draw cards from the 311 card slot.

[0057] State Reset: Flip the card-drawing component 31 to switch it from the card-drawing state back to the card-receiving state, preparing for the next card dealing.

[0058] The card machine in this embodiment achieves card feeding and card retrieval through the state transition of the flip card retrieval component 31. Players only need to take cards from the card slot 311, making the operation more convenient and faster. It eliminates the complex lifting and dispensing device in traditional card machines, simplifies the structure, reduces costs, and the solution has a compact structure, saves space, and is easy to store and transport.

[0059] In detail, when the card-flipping device 31 is flipped to the card-holding state, the card-holding slot 311 is on the card-dealing path so that the cards dealt by the card-dispensing device 2 can enter the card-holding slot 311. When the card-flipping device 31 is flipped to the card-retrieving state, the card-holding slot 311 is exposed on the table surface of the main table 11, and the player can take cards from the card-holding slot 311.

[0060] See Figure 1-2 To further enhance the practicality and user experience of the card machine, preferably, when the card-flipping component 31 is flipped to the card-holding state, its top surface is approximately flush with the tabletop of the main table 11. This design offers advantages such as improved space utilization, avoidance of inconvenience in placing items, and a more concise and aesthetically pleasing appearance. The movement trajectory and flipping angle of the card-flipping component 31 can be precisely controlled to ensure that its top surface remains level with the tabletop of the main table 11 when in the card-holding state.

[0061] In one embodiment, the card-flipping device 31 is flipped manually by the player; in another embodiment, the card-flipping device 31 is connected to a flipping drive unit. In one example, each card-flipping device 31 is connected to one flipping drive unit; in another example, several card-flipping devices 31 are driven by a single flipping drive unit, specifically, the flipping drive unit can be driven by a transmission unit. The flipping drive unit may consist only of a drive component, or it may consist of a drive component and a transmission component. The drive component may be a drive motor, and the transmission method of the transmission component and the transmission unit may be belt drive, gear drive, etc., without specific limitations, as long as it can drive the card-flipping device 31 to flip. The flipping drive unit can be controlled by a sensor inside the card-playing machine 2, or by a controller connected to the sensor.

[0062] Further, see Figure 8The flip-to-retrieve component 31 is provided with an anti-rotation part 315 that abuts against the bottom limit of the tabletop of the table body 11. Two anti-rotation parts 315 can be provided: one abuts against the bottom limit of the tabletop when the flip-to-retrieve component 31 is flipped to the card-holding state; the other abuts against the bottom limit of the tabletop when the flip-to-retrieve component 31 is flipped to the card-retrieve state. The anti-rotation parts 315 can prevent the flip-to-retrieve component 31 from rotating excessively and affecting card storage or retrieval. If the table body 11 has a bearing surface for supporting the flip-to-retrieve component 31 when it is flipped to the card-holding state, then only one anti-rotation part 315 abuts against the bottom limit of the tabletop when the flip-to-retrieve component 31 is flipped to the card-retrieve state is needed. The anti-rotation part 315 can be set as needed.

[0063] Further, see Figure 8 , 10 The flipping card-retrieving component 31 is provided with a card-guiding surface 316 in the card-receiving slot 311 to facilitate the movement of cards into the card-receiving slot 311 and avoid card loss.

[0064] To ensure the stability of the card-flipping component 31 during card storage or retrieval and to prevent it from easily rotating due to external forces, a locking unit 4 is further provided between the card-flipping component 31 and the table body 11. Locking the card-flipping component 31 with the locking unit 4 effectively prevents accidental rotation and ensures the smooth running of the game. In the first embodiment, see... Figure 9-11 The locking unit 4 is a magnetic attraction component 43, with magnets, such as permanent magnets or electromagnets, attracting each other on the flip-to-retrieve card-holding component 31 and the table body 11. When the flip-to-retrieve card-holding component 31 is in the card-holding state, the magnets attract each other, locking the flip-to-retrieve card-holding component 31 in its current position. To flip it to the card-holding state, an external force is applied to overcome the magnetic attraction. In the second embodiment, the locking unit 4 is a rebound device, which typically includes a spring, an iron hook, a magnetic head, a rubber head, and a plastic sleeve. Rebound devices are existing technology and will not be described in detail here. In the third embodiment, see [link to third embodiment]. Figure 8-9The locking unit 4 includes a ball bearing 41 disposed on one of the flip-top card-retrieving component 31 and the table body 11, a mating groove 42 disposed on the other of the flip-top card-retrieving component 31 and the table body 11, and an elastic member that abuts against the ball bearing 41 to drive the ball bearing 41 to reset and move to the mating groove 42. It can be understood that by setting the elastic member to abut against the ball bearing 41 and drive the ball bearing 41 to reset and move to the mating groove 42, a certain degree of limiting engagement is achieved. That is, when the flip-top card-retrieving component 31 is in the card-holding state, when the force on the flip-top card-retrieving component 31 is small, the limiting engagement between the ball bearing 41 and the mating groove 42 can prevent the flip-top card-retrieving component 31 from rotating. When the force on the flip-top card-retrieving component 31 is large, the ball bearing 41 can disengage from the mating groove 42, allowing the flip-top card-retrieving component 31 to flip. Preferably, the surfaces of the ball bearing 41 and the mating groove 42 of the flip-top card-retrieving component 31 and the table body 11 are configured as rotating surfaces to improve the locking effect and facilitate the rotation of the flip-top card-retrieving component 31. In the first and second embodiments, the table body 11 preferably has a bearing surface on which the locking unit 4 is installed. The bearing surface and the flip card-retrieving component 31 can cooperate to prevent rotation and are locked by the locking unit 4.

[0065] To simplify the structural design and improve the stability of the flip-over card-retrieving component 31, the central portion of the flip-over card-retrieving component 31 is rotatably mounted to the table body 11. This design has the following advantages: 1. Simplified structure: Placing the rotation fulcrum of the flip-over card-retrieving component 31 in the middle reduces the complexity of the support structure and lowers manufacturing costs. 2. Stable operation: The central rotation design allows the flip-over card-retrieving component 31 to experience more even force during flipping, resulting in smoother operation and reducing the risk of jamming or tilting. 3. Easy maintenance: The central rotation fulcrum facilitates disassembly and maintenance of the flip-over card-retrieving component 31. Specifically, a pivot can be provided in the middle of the flip-over card-retrieving component 31 and connected to the table body 11 or a bearing seat on the table body 11 to achieve rotatable mounting of the flip-over card-retrieving component 31.

[0066] Further, see Figure 10 The table body 11 has a bottom compartment 13 at the bottom of its tabletop to accommodate the flip-over card-retrieving component 31. The flip-over card-retrieving component 31 is rotatably mounted on the bottom compartment 13 or on the table body 11. The locking unit 4 can be located on the bottom compartment 13 and the flip-over card-retrieving component 31. The bottom compartment 13 and the table body 11 can be an integral structure, or the bottom compartment 13 can be mounted on the bottom of the tabletop of the table body 11 or on a mounting bracket inside the table body 11.

[0067] In the first embodiment, see Figure 10-11 The card-flipping component 31 has a card inlet 312 connected to one end of the card-receiving slot 311, and a card-removing outlet 313 connected to the other end of the card-receiving slot 311. When the card-flipping component 31 flips the card, the card is held by the bottom compartment 13. In the second embodiment, see... Figure 8 The flip card retrieval component 31 has a card storage and retrieval port 314 that connects to the card receiving slot 311. In this embodiment, the flip card retrieval component 31 needs to be flipped at a larger angle.

[0068] Without contradicting the spirit and technical means of this utility model, at least some of the technical implementation methods in the above embodiments can be combined or replaced.

[0069] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the scope of the claims. Any improvements and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should also be considered as protection within the scope of this utility model.
