[0016] The following will refer to the appendix in the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-4 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

They are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the utility model.
[0018] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "setting," "connection," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0019] This utility model relates to a novel card-holding mechanism, specifically a transmission mechanism capable of conveying playing cards 6. This design does not specifically limit the transmission mechanism; common transmission methods such as belt conveyors can be used. The transmission mechanism is connected to a card-holding mechanism, and the specific structure is as follows:
[0020] Frame: The licensed mechanism includes a frame consisting of baffles A1 and B3, which provides support and limit the foundation for the entire licensed mechanism.
[0021] Inclined Plate Structure: Inclined plates A2 and B4 are installed on the frame, pointing downwards. The upper end of inclined plate A2 corresponds to the outlet of the transmission mechanism. Inclined plates A2 and B4 form a V-shape, with a groove between their bottoms for the playing card 6 to pass through. The upper end of inclined plate A2 is bent to form a horizontal conveyor platform, facilitating the receipt of playing cards from the transmission mechanism. The widths of inclined plates A2 and B4 are matched to the width of the playing card 6, ensuring precise guidance and preventing card deviation. Tongue and Drive Mechanism: A tongue 7 is mounted on inclined plate B4, connected to a drive mechanism 5. The drive mechanism 5 is preferably an electromagnetic switch, which drives the tongue 7 to reciprocate. When the electromagnetic switch extends the tongue, it forms a platform on inclined plate B4 to prevent the playing card from sliding down; when the tongue retracts, the playing card can continue to slide down to complete the transfer. Limiting function: Baffles A1 and B3 are respectively set to fit the left and right sides of the V-shaped structure to prevent the playing card 6 from sliding off the sides of the V-shaped structure and ensure that the playing card completes the transfer action within the predetermined V-shaped area.
[0022] Working process: The transmission mechanism, such as a belt conveyor, transports the playing cards to the designated position. Before receiving the cards, the electromagnetic switch-drive mechanism 5 controls the tongue to extend, protruding from the inclined plate B4. The playing card 6 is first guided horizontally and falls onto the conveyor platform of the inclined plate A2. Then it moves further, at which point the center of gravity of the playing card 6 is between the two inclined plates. Due to gravity, it naturally flips downwards, and the lower end of the playing card 6 contacts the inclined plate B and slides down until it is blocked by the tongue 5. Afterwards, the tongue 5 retracts under the action of the electromagnetic switch drive mechanism, and the playing card continues to slide down due to the loss of the support of the tongue 5, sliding out through the gap in the groove between the inclined plates A2 and B4, completing one transfer of the playing card.
[0023] Specific implementation method:
[0024] Component preparation and assembly
[0025] Component fabrication: Fabricate baffle A1, baffle B3, inclined plate A2, and inclined plate B4 according to the design dimensions, ensuring that the upper end of inclined plate A2 bends to form a horizontal conveyor table, and that the widths of inclined plates A and B are adapted to the width of the playing cards; prepare the electromagnetic switch drive mechanism 5 with the tongue 7, ensuring that the tongue can extend and retract smoothly. Assembly: Install inclined plates A2 and B4 on the frame formed by baffles A1 and B3, forming a V-shaped structure, adjusting so that the upper end of inclined plate A corresponds to the outlet of the conveyor mechanism, and that the dimensions of the bottom grooves of inclined plates A and B are adapted to the passage of the playing cards; connect the electromagnetic switch drive mechanism 5 to the tongue 7 on inclined plate B4, and test the extension and retraction of the tongue.
[0026] 2. Operation in conjunction with the transmission mechanism
[0027] A belt conveyor structure can be selected as the transmission mechanism, but other suitable transmission structures can be replaced according to actual needs. The outlet of the belt conveyor mechanism is connected to the conveyor platform at the upper end of inclined plate A2. The equipment is started, and the transmission mechanism transports the playing cards to the conveyor platform of inclined plate A. Following the above working process, the electromagnetic switch controls the extension and retraction of the tongue, cooperating with the inclined plate and baffle structure to complete the transfer of playing cards. During operation, the smoothness of the card transfer and the accuracy of positioning can be observed, and fine-tuning of the positions of the mechanism components and the parameters of the electromagnetic switch can be made to ensure stable and reliable operation.
[0028] Example of a structure in this application where the driving mechanism drives the tongue to move:
[0029] Drive mechanism (electromagnetic switch): Electromagnetic relay
[0030] Principle: An electromagnetic relay is an electronic control device with input and output circuits, operating on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When current flows through the coil of the electromagnetic relay, a magnetic field is generated. This magnetic field attracts the armature, causing the armature to actuate the contacts, thereby controlling the on / off state of the circuit. In a license plate holder, the movement of the armature is controlled by controlling the energization and de-energization of the electromagnetic relay coil, which in turn moves the latch. Structure: It mainly consists of a coil, iron core, armature, spring, and contacts. The coil is wound around the iron core. When current flows through the coil, the iron core is magnetized, generating a magnetic field. Under the influence of the magnetic field, the armature overcomes the tension of the spring and attracts the iron core, simultaneously actuating the contacts. When the power is off, the spring returns the armature to its original position.
[0031] Application Example: The electromagnetic relay is installed at a suitable position near the inclined plate B4. The tongue 7 is mechanically connected to the armature of the electromagnetic relay, such as by a linkage or lever mechanism. When the tongue needs to extend to block the playing card, the coil of the electromagnetic relay is energized, and the armature is attracted, causing the tongue to extend. When the playing card needs to continue sliding down, the current to the coil of the electromagnetic relay is cut off, the armature is reset under the action of the spring, and the tongue retracts.
[0032] Drive mechanism (electromagnetic switch): Solenoid-type electromagnetic switch
[0033] Principle: A solenoid-type electromagnetic switch utilizes a magnetic field generated by an energized solenoid to attract or push an internal movable iron core plunger. When the solenoid is energized, the generated magnetic field causes the movable iron core to move linearly within the solenoid, thus achieving mechanical action. In the holding mechanism, the movement of the movable iron core is controlled by controlling the energization and de-energization of the solenoid, which in turn drives the extension and retraction of the tongue. Structure: It consists of a solenoid coil, a movable iron core, a return spring, and a housing. When the solenoid coil is energized, it generates a magnetic field, and the movable iron core moves under the action of the magnetic force; the return spring returns the movable iron core to its initial position when the power is de-energized; the housing protects and supports the internal structure.
[0034] Application Example: The housing of the solenoid electromagnetic switch is fixed on the inclined plate B4, and the movable iron core is connected to the tongue 7. When the tongue needs to extend, the solenoid coil is energized, and the movable iron core pushes the tongue forward under the action of the magnetic force to extend and block the playing card; when the playing card needs to continue sliding down, the current to the solenoid coil is cut off, and the movable iron core retracts under the action of the return spring, and the tongue also retracts accordingly.
[0035] Finally, it should be noted that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and many variations are possible. All variations that can be directly derived or conceived by those skilled in the art from the disclosure of this utility model should be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
