Description

Poker machine and dealing device thereof

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of poker machines, in particular to a poker machine and a card dealing device thereof.

Background

Playing cards are a favorite entertainment item, and after playing a game, players are required to arrange cards, shuffle cards and deal cards. In order to save the time of dealing, an automatic dealing machine is invented to deal cards, for example, a four-port dealing machine for playing cards is disclosed in patent document with publication number CN201164714Y, and is provided with a shuffling cavity, a shuffling differential mechanism driven by a shuffling motor is arranged in the center of the shuffling cavity, four conveying belts connected to a dealing mechanism are uniformly distributed around the shuffling cavity, the conveying belts are driven by the conveying motor, one side of each conveying belt is provided with a card arranging wheel, the other side of each conveying belt is provided with a stop block matched with the card arranging wheel, a spiral deflector rod is arranged on each card arranging wheel, and the output end of the dealing mechanism is provided with a counting light eye. When the dealing machine is used, the disordered cards are placed into the shuffling cavity with the front face facing downwards, and are dealt from four card outlets after passing through the shuffling differential mechanism, the card tidying wheels and the dealing mechanism. Although the card dealing machine basically completes the actions of shuffling and dealing, the card dealing machine still cannot avoid the need of a player to collect, sort and turn the playing cards with different front and back faces, so that the labor intensity in the game is high and the waiting time is long.

The patent document with the publication number CN102580307A discloses a full-automatic poker machine, which comprises a mounting bottom plate and a plurality of supporting legs arranged at the bottom of the mounting bottom plate; the device comprises a mounting bottom plate, a shuffling and primary card distributing device, a card distributing device and a card distributing device, wherein the mounting bottom plate is provided with a card inlet parallel to a tabletop opening mode and used for placing playing cards, the shuffling and primary card distributing device is arranged at one end of the card inlet and used for primarily separating the disordered playing cards, and the card distributing device is arranged at the other end of the shuffling and primary card distributing device and used for adjusting the playing cards in the same direction and separating the playing cards into single playing cards; the card turning and dealing device is arranged at the other end of the card distributing device and is used for turning and dealing the playing cards with different front and back sides into the same direction according to the stipulation; the card pushing device is arranged at the other end of the card turning device and used for moving the dealt playing cards; and the card lifting device is arranged at one side of the card pushing device and used for lifting the playing cards to the table top. The shuffling and primary card distribution equipment realizes primary card distribution (the playing cards are separated into a few playing cards) through different rotating speeds of the card feeding belt and the card distribution belt, the card distribution and secondary card distribution equipment conveys the playing cards through the secondary card distribution belt and realizes the card distribution through the card distribution belt and the auxiliary card distribution belt on two sides (the playing cards are adjusted to the same direction, namely card arrangement), the card distribution equipment realizes card distribution through the cooperation of three card distribution belts which are designed by the card distribution plate and the concave part (the playing cards are overturned to the required surface), the card distribution equipment realizes random card distribution (namely card shuffling distribution) through the cooperation of the card distribution belt and the card distribution rod, the distributed playing cards directly fall on the card pushing panel and are pushed onto the card lifting panel through the card pushing rod, and the card lifting equipment lifts the playing cards on the table top.

Although the above-mentioned poker machine basically realizes actions such as card sorting, shuffling and dealing of the playing cards, the following problems exist due to the structural limitations:

1. The gap between the conveying belt and the peripheral wall is easy to embed playing cards, so that the playing cards are easy to damage and miss, seize or equipment failure;

2. The playing cards are horizontally placed on the conveying belt, and the playing cards are stirred to rotate in the horizontal plane to adjust the orientation through the opposite movement of the two side card-following belts, so that the purpose of horizontal card sorting is achieved, the playing cards are easy to float and seize between the two side card-following belts, even the playing cards are damaged or embedded into the belt gap, and the conveying speed and the length of the conveying belt are high, so that the card sorting efficiency is low;

3. The card turning plate and the three card turning belts are matched to realize card turning, so that the defects of unstable card turning and low card turning efficiency exist, and the defect that the playing cards are clamped into the belt gaps also exist;

4. the card dealing belt and the plurality of card dealing openings are adopted, the defects of unstable card dealing and low card dealing efficiency exist, the playing cards with a plurality of cards are lifted at the same position, the player is inconvenient to take the cards, and cheating possibility exists.
