As shown in FIG. 9 to FIG. 15 , the card delivery device includes a card storage shoe 41 and a card delivery device 42. The card storage shoe 41 and the card delivery device 42 are located on the left and right sides of the card delivery base 4, respectively. The bottom of the card storage shoe 41 is a The side is communicated with the card feeding channel of the card delivery device 42 . In this embodiment, the card storage box is used to place the playing cards that are arranged in a stack, and the bottom of the card storage box 41 is equipped with a detection sensor 4101 for detecting whether there are playing cards inserted and for pushing the playing cards to the card delivery device. 42 The card delivery wheel 4201 of the card entry channel, a side wall of the card storage box 41 close to the card delivery device 42 and the card entry channel is formed with a shield plate 4105, the shield plate 4105 is provided with a number of card entry ridges 4104, the card entry Below the convex rib 4104 is arranged the card distribution wheel 4202 of the card delivery device 42, and a number of card input protrusions 4102 are formed on the bottom inner wall of the card storage box 41 between the card delivery wheel 4201 and the card distribution wheel 4202, so that these card input protrusions 4102 are formed. A card feeding channel 4103 of the card delivery device 42 is formed between the playing 4102 and the card feeding convex rib 4104, so that the card feeding channel with the concave-convex matching helps to squeeze and separate a plurality of overlapping playing cards. Further preferably, a plurality of card feeding protrusions 4102 and a plurality of card feeding ridges 4104 are alternately arranged to obtain a better card shuffling separation effect.

The card delivery device 42 includes a card distribution mechanism, a conveying mechanism and a flopping mechanism, and the channels used for the passage of playing cards in the card delivery device 42 include a card input channel 4103, a delivery channel, a flop channel 4224, a first card output channel 4208 and a first card outlet channel 4208. In the second card ejection channel 4213, there is a flopping part 4209 near the first card ejecting channel 4208 for opening or closing the flopping channel 4224 or the outlet of the first card ejecting channel 4208. When the flopping part 4209 closes the flopping channel 4224 or opens the When the first card outlet channel 4208 exits, the card inlet channel 4103, the conveying channel and the first card outlet channel 4208 are connected in sequence, and when the flop component 4209 opens the flop channel 4224 and closes the exit of the first card outlet channel 4208, the card inlet channel 4103, the conveying channel, the first card playing channel 4208, the flopping channel 4224 and the second card playing channel 4213 are connected in sequence. The card dividing mechanism is installed at the card input channel of the card delivery device 42 , the conveying mechanism is installed at the position of the conveying channel, and the card turning mechanism is installed between the first card output channel 4208 and the second card output channel 4213 .

The card separating mechanism can adopt various card separating structures disclosed in the series of patent documents such as CN108525278A, CN105854274A, etc., but although these card separating structures can better separate the incoming playing cards to ensure the passage of single cards, it is difficult to make the cards that have entered the conveyance The playing cards of the channel are withdrawn from the card entry channel (rejected), so once the subsequent sensor detects that two playing cards overlap and needs to withdraw the playing cards and send a notification to divide the cards again, it will be difficult to withdraw the cards. In order to overcome this technical problem, in this embodiment, the card dividing mechanism preferably has the following structure:

As shown in FIG. 9 to FIG. 12 , it includes a blocking plate 4105 , a card feeding wheel 4201 , a card dividing wheel 4202 and a dividing card pressing wheel 4222 , which are used to push the playing cards to the card feeding wheel 4201 of the card feeding channel of the card dealer 42 . It is installed at the bottom of the card storage box 41, and the bottom of the shield plate 4105 is provided with a license plate pressing wheel 4222. Below the license plate pressing wheel 4222, a license plate pressing wheel 4202 is arranged. The one-way clutch mechanism realizes that the incoming card does not rotate and the exit card can be rotated. In this way, not only the effect of fast and effective card splitting can be achieved when entering cards, but also when the cards need to be withdrawn, the card splitting pressure wheel 4222 can be reversed together with the card splitting wheel 4202 to realize fast and reliable withdrawal, avoiding the difficulty of withdrawing cards. It is further preferred that the front and rear dislocations and the upper and lower overlapping design of the splitting pressing wheel 4222 and the splitting wheel 4202 (that is, the axis of the splitting pressing wheel 4222 and the axis of the splitting wheel 4202 are staggered by a horizontal distance and the axis of the splitting pressing wheel 4222 is more than the axis of the splitting wheel 4202. Close to the card storage space of the card storage shoe 41, the bottommost position of the split card pressing wheel 4222 is lower than the highest position of the splitting card wheel 4202), in this way, when the gap between the split card pressing wheel 4222 and the split card wheel 4202 enters a plurality of poker cards When playing a card, the entry end of the playing card will be tilted, causing the upper and lower playing cards to shift, thus preventing the electrostatic bonding of the upper and lower playing cards from being separated, because the splitting pressure roller 4222 cannot be rotated under the control of the one-way clutch mechanism. In this way, the static friction force between the split card pressing wheel 4222 and the upper playing cards is much greater than the friction force between the upper and lower playing cards, and the conveying power of the playing cards comes from the split card wheel 4202, which is applied to the lower playing cards. Therefore, the lower playing cards are transported and continue to move forward, the upper playing cards are temporarily held, and the upper and lower playing cards are separated, the separation speed is fast, the structure is simple, the maintenance is convenient, and the accuracy is high.

In order to further improve the card-distributing effect of the above-mentioned card-distributing mechanism, the bottom of the shield plate 4105 is provided with several card-incoming ridges 4104, and a number of There are card feeding protrusions 4102, and the card feeding protrusion 4104 is closer to the card dividing pressure wheel 4222 than the card feeding protrusion 4102, so that the card feeding protrusion 4102, the card feeding ridge 4104 and the card dividing wheel 4202 are formed between The card feeding channel 4103 of the card delivery device 42, the card feeding channel 4103 has a concave structure with two ends (the card feeding protrusion 4102 and the card dividing wheel 4202) raised in the middle, so that the concave and convex matching card feeding channel helps to overlap The multiple playing cards are squeezed and separated to ensure that the multiple playing cards entering the position of the splitting wheel 4202 and the splitting pressing wheel 4222 are separated before and after. The jack is outside the card entry channel 4103, so when the card is withdrawn, the playing cards withdrawn from the card entry channel will be inserted under the playing cards in the card storage box 41 to avoid the difficulty of pushing the cards due to the collision of the two playing cards. Further preferably, a plurality of card feeding protrusions 4102 and a plurality of card feeding ridges 4104 are alternately arranged to obtain a better card shuffling separation effect.

In this embodiment, one side of the card feeding wheel 4201 is protruded with arc-shaped saw teeth, so that the playing cards can be pushed upward and forward during the rotation of the card feeding wheel 4201, so that the playing cards can better cross the card feeding convex Starting 4102, in addition, this action can also prevent the front and rear playing cards from being blocked and blocked when the card issuing device withdraws the cards. The license plate pressing wheel 4222 rotates passively in one direction. In order to facilitate adjustment, the license plate pressing roller 4222 is installed at the bottom of the shield plate 4105 through an elastic pressing mechanism. The mechanism is a one-way clutch installed on the shaft of the plate-separating pressure wheel 4222. The parts of the card distribution wheel, the card delivery wheel and the card distribution pressure wheel, each part can be a roller part, or can be composed of multiple wheel-shaped parts installed on the same shaft, for example, as shown in the figure. 16. As shown in FIG. 17, each card-dividing wheel 4202 includes a support frame with a certain rigidity and a rubber ring sleeved and fixed on the support frame. Part of the arc-shaped circumference of the rubber ring is protruding for contact with playing cards. The arc-shaped rubber serrations of the rubber ring are lower than the circumference of the side wall of the support frame. In this way, when the arc-shaped rubber serrations of the split wheel are in contact with the playing cards, the frictional force is large, which makes it easier to drive the playing cards. When the card moves, when the circumference of the side wall of the support frame of the split wheel is in contact with the playing card, the friction force is small and it is difficult to drive the playing card to move. Four card distributor wheels 4202 are installed on the same card distributor wheel shaft 42021. The card entry ridges 4104 at the bottom of the shield plate 4105, the card distributor pressure rollers 4222 and the four card distributor rollers 4202 are arranged alternately up and down, so that it is easy to adjust the upper and lower sides. Clearance to achieve fast and effective card division. The card delivery wheel shaft 42011 of the card delivery wheel 4201 and the card delivery wheel shaft 42021 of the card delivery wheel 4202 are connected through the transmission transmission belt 4228, so as to realize the coordinated rotation of the card delivery wheel 4201 and the card delivery wheel 4202, so as to improve the efficiency of card delivery and the Split effect.

As shown in FIGS. 9 to 12 , the conveying mechanism includes a first conveying wheel 4203 and a second conveying wheel 4205 installed on the conveying bottom wall 4204 of the conveying channel, and a first conveying wheel installed on the conveying top wall 4218 of the conveying channel The pressure roller 4219 and the second conveying pressure roller 4217. The first conveying pressure roller 4219 cooperates with the first conveying roller 4203 up and down. The second conveying pressure roller 4217 cooperates with the second conveying roller 4205 up and down. The conveying pressure wheel 4217 is a driven wheel, the first conveying wheel 4203 and the second conveying wheel 4205 are driving wheels and are sleeved with a rubber ring to increase friction, the first conveying wheel shaft 42031 of the first conveying wheel 4203, the second conveying wheel 4205 The second conveying axle 42051, the distributing axle 42021 of the distributing wheel 4202 and the distributing motor shaft 42201 of the distributing motor 4220 are connected through the distributing drive belt 4225, and the distributing drive belt 4225 is tensioned by the tensioning wheel 4226, thus realizing Synchronized movement of card entry, split and delivery. The components of the first conveying wheel 4203, the second conveying wheel 4205, the first conveying pressure wheel 4219 and the second conveying pressure wheel 4217 can be press fit up and down, or they can be staggered and staggered. It can be a roller part, or it can be composed of multiple wheel parts mounted on the same shaft.

As shown in Fig. 13 and Fig. 19, the conveying channel of the above-mentioned card dealer is provided with identification elements for identifying the front and back sides of playing cards and a plurality of detection elements for detecting playing cards.

Regarding the identification of the front and back sides of the playing cards in the conveying channel: one method is to obtain the photo information of the same side of the playing cards at different positions, and use the pattern on the back of the playing cards as the unit pattern. The degree of overlap determines whether the cards are heads or tails. Another method is to identify the front and back of the playing card by distinguishing the character pattern on the diagonal fixed position of the playing card according to the characteristics of the fixed position on the diagonal diagonal corner of the front of the playing card, such as Kou Yongjun In 2007, he published a master's thesis titled "Research on the Application of Image Recognition in Dealing Machines" in the Journal of Hunan University. Another method is to print magnetic ink at a fixed position on the front or back of the playing card, and identify the front and back of the playing card by detecting the magnetic ink. For the first two identification methods, the identification element is a camera. For the third identification method, the identification element is a magnetic detection sensor.

Regarding identifying whether the playing cards in the conveying channel overlap: one method is to detect the length of the playing cards. When the detection element detects that the length of the playing cards in the conveying channel is longer than the normal length, it can be determined that there are multiple overlapping playing cards. Another method is to detect the thickness of the playing cards. When the detection element detects that the thickness of the playing cards in the card feeding channel, the conveying channel or the first card discharging channel is greater than the normal thickness, it can be determined that there are multiple playing cards overlapping. One or more methods may be employed in the same licensing device.

When it is recognized that the playing cards in the conveying channel do not need to be turned over, the flopping mechanism directly sends out the playing cards; when it is recognized that the playing cards in the conveying channel need to be turned over, the flopping mechanism turns the playing cards over and sends them out. When it is recognized that the playing cards need to be withdrawn from the card delivery device, the card delivery motor 4220 drives the first conveying wheel 4203 , the second conveying wheel 4205 , the card dividing wheel 4202 and the card sending wheel 4201 to reversely implement the withdrawal. One or more methods may be employed in the same licensing device.

The invention identifies the positive and negative sides of the playing cards in the conveying channel, and flips the playing cards in the flopping channel. The two steps do not affect each other, and the cards can be flopped and dealt continuously, which greatly improves the efficiency of flopping and dealing. card efficiency.

As shown in Figure 13, in this embodiment, the identification element used to identify the front and back of the playing card is a camera 4238, and the camera 4238 and a detection sensor for detecting the position of the playing card are fixed on the bottom wall 4204 of the conveying channel or the top of the conveying channel On the wall 4218, when the detection sensor detects the playing card, the camera is activated at the same time or after a delay, so that the camera can just capture the pattern information on the diagonal fixed position of the playing card in the conveying channel, so that the controller can identify the pattern information according to the pattern information. The front and back of a playing card, such as when it is recognized as a character pattern, is judged to be the front.

In order to ensure that the camera can start up in time and capture the panorama of the character patterns on the playing cards, the following settings are preferred:

In the first case, the playing cards are conveyed forward along the width side in the card delivery device (ie, the width of the conveying channel is close to the width of the playing cards). In this way, the preferred value range of the width B of the conveying channel is: playing card width+1mm<B<playing card width+5mm.

The value range of the vertical distance M between the center of the camera lens and the adjacent left or right side wall of the conveying channel is: the vertical distance between the character pattern of the playing card and its near side edge<M<the distance of the character pattern of the playing card The vertical distance of its proximal side edge is +5mm.

The value range of the vertical distance H between the center of the camera lens and the playing cards in the conveying channel is: 10mm<H<15mm.

Take the commonly used playing cards (Bridge Size is 8.8cm long and 5.7cm wide) as an example, 58mm<B<62mm, 6mm<M<12mm.

In the second case, the playing cards are conveyed forward along the length of the card delivery device (ie, the width of the conveying channel is close to the length of the playing cards). In this way, the preferred value range of the width B of the conveying channel is: playing card length+1mm<B<playing card length+5mm.

The value range of the vertical distance M between the center of the camera lens and the adjacent left or right side wall of the conveying channel is: the vertical distance between the character pattern of the playing card and its near side edge<M<the distance of the character pattern of the playing card The vertical distance of its proximal side edge is +5mm.

The value range of the vertical distance H between the center of the camera lens and the playing cards in the conveying channel is: 10mm<H<15mm.

Take the commonly used playing cards (Bridge Size is 8.8cm long and 5.7cm wide) as an example, 89mm<B<93mm, 6mm<M<12mm.

In other embodiments, the playing cards in the conveying channel can also be conveyed close to one side of the left or right side by a specific conveying mode, speed and direction, so that the width of the conveying channel will not affect the camera For setting, it only needs to be limited: the value range of the vertical distance M between the center of the camera lens and the adjacent left or right side wall of the conveying channel is: the vertical distance between the character pattern of the playing card and its near side edge <M< The vertical distance of the character pattern of the playing card from its proximal side edge is +5mm. Take commonly used playing cards (Bridge Size is 8.8cm long and 5.7cm wide) as an example, 6mm<M<12mm. The value range of the vertical distance H between the center of the camera lens and the playing cards in the conveying channel is: 10mm<H<15mm.

This can not only avoid unnecessary scratches between the playing cards and the side wall of the conveying passage, but also ensure that the camera can still capture a panoramic view of the character positions of the playing cards even when the playing cards are inclined in the conveying passage.

In addition, in order to avoid or reduce the influence of uncertain factors such as the forward speed of the playing cards in the conveying channel, it is preferable to set the detection sensor for detecting the position of the playing cards and the camera 4238 adjacent to the left and right, so that after the detection sensor detects that the playing cards are in place The camera is activated immediately to take a panoramic view of the positions of the playing card characters. In other embodiments, it is also preferable to set two cameras in the conveying channel, the two cameras are respectively close to the left side wall and the right side wall of the conveying channel, and are photographed and recognized by multiple cameras to improve the accuracy of the recognition of the front and back of the playing cards. gender and recognition efficiency.

It should be noted that the width of the above-mentioned conveying channel refers to the effective width that can transport playing cards in the conveying channel, and the left or right side wall of the above-mentioned conveying channel refers to the theoretical left or right side wall of the effective width. , in a feasible implementation manner, the left side wall or the right side wall of the conveying channel may be a visible structure formed by a limiting member, a limiting structure, a shell wall, etc., or a non-visible structure but actually exists, For example, by controlling the conveying method, speed and direction of the conveying wheel/roller, the range that the playing cards can reach is limited to a specific range in the conveying channel, and the left and right boundaries of the specific range are regarded as the left side of the above-mentioned conveying channel. wall or right side wall.

As shown in FIG. 19, in this embodiment, a first sensor 4235, a second sensor 4236 and a third sensor 4237 are sequentially installed on the conveying top wall 4218 or the conveying bottom wall 4204 of the conveying channel along the advancing direction of the playing cards. A sensor 4235 and a third sensor 4237 cooperate to detect the length distance covered by the playing cards in the conveying channel to determine whether there is a state of overlapping of multiple playing cards. cards), it is determined that two partially overlapping playing cards enter the conveying channel, and the card-discharging motor 4220 reverses and returns the playing cards to the card storage box 41 to re-enter the cards and distribute the cards.

For the case that the playing cards are transported forward along the width side in the card delivery device (that is, the width of the conveying channel is close to the width of the playing cards), the distance between the first sensor 4235 and the third sensor 4237 is greater than the length of the playing cards 2mm-3mm.

In the case where the playing cards are transported forward along the length side in the card delivery device (that is, the width of the conveying channel is close to the length of the playing cards), the distance between the first sensor 4235 and the third sensor 4237 is greater than the width of the playing cards 2mm-3mm.

The second sensor 4236 is arranged between the first sensor 4235 and the third sensor 4237. When it is blocked (playing cards are detected), the flopping motor 4230 is activated as required to flop the cards. The second sensor 4236 may also cooperate with the first sensor 4235 and the third sensor 4237 to assist in determining whether there are multiple playing cards that overlap partially.

In this way, after the single playing card separated by the card sorting mechanism, after passing through the first sensor, the camera takes a picture to identify the front and back sides. When the playing card continues to move forward along the channel to the position of the second sensor, the card flipping mechanism is controlled according to the recognition result. Whether to flip playing cards. If the first sensor is blocked until the third sensor is blocked at the same time (that is, playing cards are continuously detected), it means that there are two playing cards partially overlapping and entering the conveying channel, the card-distributing motor starts to reverse, and the The playing cards are returned to the card storage box for single card separation again, so as to ensure the accuracy of the number of cards dealt.

As shown in Figures 9 to 12, the flopping mechanism includes a first card pressing wheel 4207, a flopping wheel 4210, a flopping pressing wheel 4211 and a second playing pressing wheel 4212.
