Detailed ways

The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.

Refer to Figure 1-7: Automatic card shuffler, including lifting mechanism 1, card clamping mechanism, card shuffling mechanism, conveying mechanism and card receiving mechanism, lifting mechanism 1 transports the playing cards shuffled by the shuffling mechanism to the upper card clamping mechanism Inside, the clamping mechanism can clamp or loosen the playing cards, and the loosened playing cards in the clamping mechanism fall into the shuffling mechanism to shuffle again, and the playing cards that have been shuffled many times are sent to the receiving card in the institution.

The lifting mechanism 1 includes a lifting motor 11, a first screw 12 driven by the lifting motor 11 to rotate, the first screw 12 is screwed with a lifting block 13, and the lifting block 13 is fixedly connected to the card holder below the shuffling mechanism. Box 31, the lifting block 13 drives the card holder 31 to rise in the card clamping mechanism, and the card clamping mechanism clamps the playing cards in the card bearing box 31. Specifically, the lifting motor 11 drives the first screw rod 12 to rotate through a gear transmission mechanism, and the gear transmission mechanism includes a driving gear 14 connected to the output shaft of the lifting motor 11, a driven gear 15 fixedly connected to the first screw rod 12, The driving gear 14 meshes with the driven gear 15 .

Described clamping mechanism comprises card box 21, and one end of card box 21 is provided with clamping motor 22, and the bottom of card box 21 is slidably provided with splint 23, and the output shaft of clamping motor 22 is wound with two connecting wires 24 , the other ends of the two connecting wires 24 are respectively connected to the two ends of the splint 23 , and the splint 23 is connected to the return spring 25 . Along with the clamping motor 22 rotations, the connecting wire 23 is constantly wound on the output shaft of the clamping motor 22, so the connecting wire 24 pulls the clamping plate 23 to move in one direction, and the clamping plate 23 clamps the playing cards; when the clamping motor 22 reversely rotates , the connecting wire 24 is gradually disengaged from the output shaft of the clamping motor 22, and under the action of the return spring 25, the clamping plate 23 moves in another direction, the clamping plate 23 releases the playing cards, and the loosened playing cards fall into the shuffling mechanism .

Described card shuffling mechanism comprises the left card board 32 and the right card board 33 that are arranged in herringbone arrangement below the outlet of clamping mechanism, the left card board 32 below is provided with left board board 34 and left shuffling wheel 35, the bottom of the right card board 33 is provided with a right board board 36 and a right shuffling wheel 37, and the playing cards that slide off from the left board board 32 fall onto the left board board 34 and are washed by the left board board 35. The board falls on the turnover plate 38 below after the board, and the playing cards that slide off from the right splitting board 33 fall on the right bearing plate 36, and also fall on the turnover panel 38 of the bottom after the right shuffling wheel 37 shuffles. This turning plate 38 is connected with the first turning plate motor 39, and the rotation of the first turning plate motor 39 drives the turning plate 38 to turn over to one side and then the playing cards are dropped into the card receiving box 31. The shell of the first flipper motor 39 is fixedly connected with the flipper 38, the output shaft of the first flipper motor 39 is fixedly connected with a turning block 40, and the front end of the turning block 40 is fixedly connected with an extension bar 41, and the turning block 40 is inserted on a slider 42, and the slider 42 is screwed on the second screw rod 43, and the second screw rod 43 is driven to rotate by the second turning motor. In this mechanism, the output shaft of the first flap motor 39 is fixed and does not rotate, on the contrary, the casing of the first flap motor 39 rotates, and then drives the flap 38 to turn over to one side.

The conveying mechanism includes a supporting plate 51 connected with the stretching bar 41, and above the supporting plate 51, a front dealing wheel 52 driven by a first motor and a rear dealing wheel 53 driven by a second motor are arranged. , the intermittent operation of the rear dealing wheel 53 sends a single card, and the continuous operation of the front dealing wheel 52 sends the single card delivered by the rear dealing wheel 53 to the receiving mechanism. The reason why the front dealing wheel 52 will be set in front of the back dealing wheel 53 is because the angle of rotation of the second motor cannot be controlled very accurately, if the second motor rotates a certain angle, the next playing card may be made A part emerges from the bottom of the rear card dealing wheel 53, if only the rear card dealing wheel 53 is set without the front dealing card wheel 52, a part of the playing cards emerging will block the card receiving mechanism, so that the card receiving mechanism can not move left and right, and By setting the front card dealing wheel 52, since the front card dealing wheel 52 and the rear card dealing wheel 53 have a certain interval, the playing cards of the emerging part will not be issued by the front card dealing wheel 52.

The card receiving mechanism includes a card receiving motor 61, and the card receiving motor 61 connects the card receiving box 64 through a rack and pinion mechanism, and the rack and pinion mechanism includes a card receiving gear 62 fixedly connected with the output shaft of the card receiving motor 61 and a The card receiving box 64 is fixedly connected to the card receiving rack 63 , and the card receiving gear 62 is meshed with the card receiving rack 63 . In this embodiment, three card receiving shoe units 65 are arranged side by side on the card receiving shoe 64 .

The working principle of this embodiment: through the card shuffling mechanism, the playing cards fall on the turnover plate 38, the first turning plate motor 39 rotates to drive the turning plate 38 to turn over to one side and then the playing cards are dropped into the card holder 31, and the lifting motor 11 Drive the card holder 31 to move upward together through the lifting block 13. When the card holder 31 enters the clamping mechanism, the splint 23 of the clamping mechanism clamps the playing cards, and then the splint 23 is released, and the playing cards fall into the shuffled within the institution. In the shuffling mechanism, playing cards slide off from both sides of the left board 32 and the right board 33, and the playing cards that slide off from the left board 32 fall onto the left board 34, and pass through the left shuffling wheel 35. Drop on the turnover plate 38 below after shuffling, the poker that slides off from the right cardboard 33 falls on the right bearing plate 36, also falls on the turnover panel 38 below after shuffling through the right shuffling wheel 37 , as mentioned above, the rotation of the first turning board motor 39 drives the turning board 38 to turn over to one side and then the playing cards are dropped into the card holder 31, and the card holder 31 is driven by the lifting motor 11 to move upwards, and then passes through the clamping box in turn. Card mechanism and shuffling mechanism, so just realized multiple shuffling. When shuffling the cards for the last time, the playing cards that fell on the flipper 38 did not turn over to one side and fell into the card holder 31, but the second flipper motor rotated to drive the slider 42 to move forward and be inserted into the slider 42. The overturning block 40 on the 42 also moves forward. When the extension bar 41 in front of the overturning block 40 is connected with the supporting plate 51 of the conveying mechanism, if the slider 42 continues to move forward, the overturning block 40 will overturn forward and drive the overturning plate. 38 overturn forwards, so playing cards are poured into on the supporting plate 51 on the turnover plate 38, then the playing cards are issued to the card receiving box 64 by the front dealing card wheel 52 and the rear dealing card wheel 53 on the supporting plate 51 top. In this embodiment, the card receiving shoe 64 has three card receiving shoe units 65, and the card receiving motor 61 rotates to drive the card receiving shoe 64 to move left and right, so that each card receiving shoe unit 65 receives cards sequentially.

The above-mentioned embodiments are only enumerations of the implementation forms of the technical concept of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. .
