Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a card storage slot adjustment barrier mechanism and a card sorting machine, belonging to the technical field of card sorting machines. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, people's demand for leisure and entertainment is constantly increasing. More and more people are choosing automatic card sorting machines as their first choice for entertainment, replacing manual card sorting. Automatic card sorting machines generally refer to mahjong machines, domino machines, etc. These machines usually use two decks of cards when sorting. One deck is placed on the table for the player to use, and the other deck is sorted in the machine. After sorting, the cards are stored in a card storage slot. When the cards on the table are put into the shuffling bin, the cards in the storage slot are pushed onto the table to improve sorting efficiency. Taking mahjong machines as an example, mahjong tiles come in many types and sizes, so most mahjong machines are designed with card storage slots... When using a mahjong machine, the length of the storage slot is usually designed based on the longest mahjong tile. However, for shorter tiles, there is still some unused space at the front, making it easy for tiles at the ends to tip over into the remaining space. This can happen when someone shakes the machine or when folding it up for storage. Therefore, when folding the machine, the tiles usually have to be removed from the storage slot, which is inconvenient. A structure is needed to prevent the tiles from tipping over or sliding within the storage slot.

[0003] In the existing technology, a baffle plate is provided on the bottom plate inside the card storage bar at the other end of the card storage bar. The baffle plate can be adjusted in length along the direction of the card storage groove, and the adjustable position does not exceed 10mm. Since the card push bar needs to be pushed through the entire card storage groove, the baffle plate cannot be in front of the card push bar, otherwise the card push bar will hit the baffle plate. Utility Model Content

[0004] A brief overview of the present invention is given below to provide a basic understanding of certain aspects thereof. It should be understood that this overview is not an exhaustive summary of the present invention. It is not intended to identify key or essential parts of the present invention, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Its purpose is merely to present certain concepts in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that follows.

[0005] In view of this, in order to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the card blocking component cannot be set in front of the card pushing strip when the card storage strip is too short, this utility model provides a card storage slot adjustment blocking mechanism and a card sorting machine.

[0006] Option 1: A card storage slot adjustment blocking mechanism, comprising: a card blocking component provided above the card storage slot, the card blocking component being used to block the cards in the card storage slot from moving inward along the card storage slot.

[0007] Preferably, the barrier component includes a base and a barrier portion, and the base and the barrier portion are hinged together.

[0008] Preferably, the sign block is movably connected to the bottom of the tabletop.

[0009] Preferably, the sign-blocking mechanism also includes a sign-blocking guide, which is disposed at the bottom of the table.

[0010] Preferably, the base is movably connected to the barrier guide.

[0011] Preferably, the barrier mechanism further includes a locking structure, wherein the barrier component and the barrier guide component are locked in an unlockable manner through the locking structure.

[0012] Option 2: A card storage slot adjustment blocking mechanism includes: a blocking component that moves with the card pusher bar within the card storage slot, the blocking component being used to block the cards in the card storage slot from moving inward along the card storage slot.

[0013] Option 3: A card sorting machine, characterized in that the card sorting machine includes a card storage slot adjustment barrier mechanism as described in Option 1.

[0014] Preferably, the card sorting machine is a mahjong machine, a poker machine, a dominoes machine, or a dominoes machine.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] This utility model provides a card-blocking component in the card storage slot. When the card pusher moves the card storage strip, the card-blocking component performs an avoidance action, so that the card-blocking component is not affected by the length of the card storage strip and is placed in front of the card pusher. This eliminates the influence of the card pusher on the card storage strip when it performs its action, allowing the card storage slot to store card storage strips of any length.

[0017] This utility model provides a card blocking guide in the card storage slot, allowing the card blocking component to be adjusted to any position on the card blocking guide. This enables the card blocking component to block card strips of any length stored in the card storage slot, while avoiding the problem of inconvenient maintenance when the card blocking component is directly set on the card storage slot and malfunctions.

[0018] This utility model features a locking structure that enables the barrier component and the barrier guide component to be unlocked and locked, facilitating the disassembly of the barrier component and making maintenance easier. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To make the technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the exemplary embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not an exhaustive list of all embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0029] Example 1, Reference Figures 1-7 This embodiment describes a card storage slot adjustment blocking mechanism, comprising: a card blocking component 2 disposed above the card storage slot 3, the card blocking component 2 being used to block the cards in the card storage slot 3 from moving inward along the card storage slot 3.

[0030] The card blocker 2 can be fixedly installed at the bottom of the table so that it can block a card storage strip of a certain length.

[0031] The barrier component 2 includes a base 201 and a barrier part 202, which are hinged together.

[0032] In this embodiment, a blocking component 2 is set in the card storage slot 3. The function of the blocking component 2 is to block the card storage strip 5 in front of the pushing strip 1, so that the card storage strip 5 will not tilt or slide. The position of the blocking component 2 is set according to the length of the card storage strip 5. When the lifting plate 6 is raised or lowered, the pushing strip 1 pushes the blocking component 2 to perform an avoidance action and a working action. When the blocking component 2 performs the avoidance action, it does not delay the pushing of the pushing strip 1 or the raising or lowering of the lifting plate 6. When the blocking component 2 performs the working action, the blocking component 2 can be used to block the movement of the card storage strip.

[0033] Reference Figures 4-6 The execution process of this embodiment is as follows: Initially, the card-lifting plate 6 is aligned with the tabletop, and the card storage strip 5 is stored in the card storage slot 3. When the cards on the tabletop are pushed into the card sorting machine, the card-lifting plate 6 descends to a position flush with the bottom of the card storage slot 3. Driven by the motor, the card-pushing strip 1 pushes the card storage strip 5 from the card storage slot 3 onto the card-lifting plate 6. At this time, the card-blocking component 2 moves upward under the forward force of the card-pushing strip 1, forming an avoidance state. The pushing process of the card-pushing strip 1 is not restricted by the card-blocking component 2. When the card strip 1 completes the pushing action, the card strip 1 returns to its initial state and loses the force of the card strip 1. The card blocking component 2 returns to its working state and blocks the cards in the card storage slot 3 from moving inward along the card storage slot 3. When the machine head stacks another set of cards into two stacks and then pushes the cards into the inner end of the card storage slot 3 from the outer end of the card storage slot 3 along a direction at a 90-degree angle to the conveying structure, the card storage strip 5 at the outer end of the card storage slot 3 is constrained by the machine head, and the card storage strip 5 at the inner end of the card storage slot 3 is constrained by the card blocking component 2, so that the card storage strip 5 will not move out of the card storage slot 3 due to external force.

[0034] Example 2 differs from Example 1 in that the card block 2 is movably connected to the bottom of the table and can be slidably set at the bottom of the table so that it can block card storage strips of any length.

[0035] The difference between Example 3 and Examples 1 and 2 is that the blocking component 2 is positioned at the bottom of the table so that it can block storage strips of several fixed lengths.

[0036] Example 4 differs from Examples 1, 2, and 3 in that the sign-blocking mechanism further includes a sign-blocking guide 4, which is disposed at the bottom of the table. The sign-blocking component 2 is slidably disposed on the sign-blocking guide 4.

[0037] Example 5 differs from Examples 1, 2, 3, and 4 in that the barrier component 2 is adjustablely mounted on the barrier guide component 4.

[0038] Example 6 differs from Examples 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 in that the barrier mechanism further includes a locking structure. The barrier component 2 and the barrier guide component 4 are locked together by the locking structure to form an unlockable lock. This facilitates the disassembly of the barrier component 2 and makes maintenance easier.

[0039] Example 7 differs from Example 1 in that a card storage slot adjustment blocking mechanism includes: a blocking component 2 that moves with the card pusher bar 1 within the card storage slot 3, the blocking component 2 being used to block the cards in the card storage slot 3 from moving inward along the card storage slot 3.

[0040] The barrier component 2 includes a base and a barrier part, and the base and the barrier part are fixedly connected.

[0041] The card blocking component 2 is movably connected to the bottom of the table. The card blocking component 2 can move forward and backward in the card storage slot 3 along with the card pushing strip 1 so that the card blocking component 2 does not restrict the card pushing strip 1 from performing its actions. It can also move left and right in the card storage slot 3 to block the displacement of card storage strips of different lengths.

[0042] The blocking mechanism also includes a blocking guide 4, which is connected to the bottom of the table. The blocking component 2 can also be set on the blocking guide 4. The blocking component 2 can move forward and backward along the pushing strip on the blocking guide 4 so as to realize that the blocking component 2 does not restrict the pushing strip 1 from performing its actions. The blocking component 2 can also move left and right on the blocking guide 4 to block the displacement of storage strips of different lengths.

[0043] The specific base is movably connected to the guide component 4.

[0044] Example 8: A card sorting machine, the card sorting machine including a card storage slot adjusting barrier mechanism as described in Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Example 4, Example 5, Example 6 or Example 7.

[0045] The card sorting machine can be a mahjong machine, a poker machine, a dominoes machine, or a dominoes machine.
