In this way, not only can the fast and effective division of cards be achieved when cards are entered, but also when the cards need to be withdrawn, the card-distributing pressure wheel 4222 can be reversed together with the card-distributing wheel 4202 to achieve fast and reliable card withdrawal, avoiding the difficulty of card withdrawal. It is further preferred that the splitting press wheel 4222 and the splitting wheel 4202 are staggered back and forth and overlapped up and down (that is, the axis of the splitting pressing wheel 4222 and the splitting wheel 4202 are staggered by a level distance and the splitting pressing wheel 4222 is compared with the axis of the splitting wheel 4202. Closer to the card storage space of the card storage box 41, the bottom of the card pressing wheel 4222 is lower than the highest point of the card wheel 4202), so that when the gap between the card pressing wheel 4222 and the card wheel 4202 enters more When playing cards, the entry end of the playing cards will be tilted, which will cause the upper and lower playing cards to shift, thus avoiding the electrostatic adhesion of the upper and lower playing cards. Rotate, so that the static friction between the sub-card pressing wheel 4222 and the upper playing cards is much greater than the friction between the upper and lower two playing cards, and the conveying power of the playing cards comes from the sub-card wheel 4202, which is applied to the lower playing cards. Therefore, the lower playing cards are transported to move forward, the upper playing cards are temporarily retained, 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 enhance the card-dividing effect of the above-mentioned card-splitting mechanism, the bottom of the card block 4105 is provided with a number of card entering ribs 4104, and there are formed on the inner wall of the bottom of the card storage box 41 between the card sending wheel 4201 and the card distribution wheel 4202. Several card entering protrusions 4102, the card entering ribs 4104 are closer to the card pressing wheel 4222 than the card entering protrusions 4102, so that the card entering protrusions 4102, the card entering ribs 4104 and the card separating wheel 4202 are between The card entering channel 4103 of the card-dealing device 42 is formed. The card entering channel 4103 has a concave structure with two ends (the card entering protrusion 4102 and the card distributing wheel 4202) tilted up in the middle. The overlapping 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 back and forth. In addition, because the card-in bulge 4102 will cause the card storage box 41 The poker cards are jacked up outside the card entry channel 4103, so when the card is withdrawn, the playing cards that are withdrawn from the card entry channel will be inserted under the playing cards in the card storage box 41 to avoid two playing cards conflicting and causing difficulty in pushing cards. . Further preferably, a plurality of card entering protrusions 4102 and a plurality of card entering ribs 4104 are alternately arranged in a staggered manner to obtain a better card-drawing separation effect.

In this embodiment, one side of the card delivery wheel 4201 is protrudingly formed with arc-shaped zigzags, so that the playing cards can be pushed upward and forward during the rotation of the card delivery wheel 4201, so that the playing cards can better leap over the card entry protrusion. Starting from 4102, in addition, this action can also prevent the front and back playing cards from collapsing and getting stuck when the card-dealing device withdraws the cards. The card-distributing pressure wheel 4222 is one-way passively rotating. In order to facilitate adjustment, the card-distributing pressure wheel 4222 is installed at the bottom of the card block 4105 through an elastic pressing mechanism. The elastic pressing mechanism is a compression spring and an ejector rod 4221. The mechanism is a one-way clutch mounted on the shaft of the sub-plate pressure wheel 4222. Each of the components of the card-distributing wheel, the card-delivery wheel, and the card-distributing pressing wheel can be a roller part, or can be composed of multiple wheel-shaped parts mounted on the same shaft, for example, as shown in the figure 16. As shown in Figure 17, each card splitting 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 convex for contact with playing cards. The arc rubber serration of the rubber ring is lower than the circumference of the side wall of the support frame. In this way, when the arc rubber serration of the splitting wheel comes into contact with the playing cards, the friction force is greater and it is easier to drive the poker. When the card moves, when the side wall circumference of the support frame of the card splitting wheel contacts with the playing cards, the friction force is small and it is difficult to drive the playing cards to move. The gap type driving the playing cards to move helps to separate the two playing cards. There are four dividing wheel 4202 installed on the same dividing wheel axle 42021, the card entering rib 4104 at the bottom of the blocking plate 4105 and the dividing pressing wheel 4222 and the four dividing wheel 4202 are arranged alternately up and down, which is easy to adjust up and down. Clearance to achieve fast and effective card splitting. The card-delivery wheel 42011 of the card-delivery wheel 4201 and the card-distribution wheel axis 42021 of the card-distributing wheel 4202 are connected by a card-in transmission belt 4228, so as to realize the coordinated rotation of the card-delivery wheel 4201 and the card-distributing wheel 4202 to improve the efficiency and efficiency of card distribution. Split card effect.

As shown in Figures 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 4218 installed on the conveying top wall 4218 of the conveying channel. The pressure roller 4219 and the second conveying roller 4217, the first conveying press roller 4219 and the first conveying roller 4203 are matched up and down, the second conveying press roller 4217 is matched with the second conveying wheel 4205 up and down, the first conveying press roller 4219 and the second conveying roller 4205 The conveying pressure roller 4217 is a driven wheel, the first conveying wheel 4203 and the second conveying wheel 4205 are driving wheels and are sleeved with rubber rings to increase friction. The first conveying wheel shaft 42031 and the second conveying wheel 4205 of the first conveying wheel 4203 are The second conveying wheel axis 42251 of the card distribution wheel, the card distribution wheel axis 42021 of the card distribution wheel 4202, and the licensing motor shaft 42201 of the licensing motor 4220 are connected by the licensing transmission belt 4225, and the licensing transmission belt 4225 is tensioned by the tensioning wheel 4226. Synchronous movement of card entry, card splitting and transport. The parts of the first conveying wheel 4203, the second conveying wheel 4205, the first conveying pressing wheel 4219 and the second conveying pressing wheel 4217 can be press-fitted up and down, or staggered up and down. Each part It can be a roller-shaped part, or it can be composed of multiple wheel-shaped parts mounted on the same shaft.

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

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 different positions on the same side of the playing cards, using the pattern on the back of the playing cards as the unit pattern and the law of high coincidence of each position continuously, according to the coincidence of the pictures in these pictures. The degree determines whether it is the front or back of the playing card. Another method is to identify the front and back sides of the playing card by distinguishing the character pattern on the diagonal fixed position of the playing card based on the characteristic that the fixed position on the diagonal corner of the front of the playing card must be provided with characters, for example Kou Yongjun's master's thesis titled "Application Research of Image Recognition on Licensing Machines" published in the Journal of Hunan University in 2007. 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 there are overlapping playing cards in the conveying channel: one method is to detect the length of the playing cards. When the detecting 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 detecting element detects that the thickness of the playing cards in the card entry channel, the transport channel or the first card exit channel is greater than the normal thickness, it can be determined that there are multiple overlapping playing cards. One or more methods can be used 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 card flop agency will issue the playing cards directly; when it is recognized that the playing cards in the conveying channel need to be turned, the card flop agency will turn the playing cards and issue it. When it is recognized that the playing cards need to exit the card issuing device, the card-dealing motor 4220 drives the first conveying wheel 4203, the second conveying wheel 4205, the splitting wheel 4202, and the card-delivering wheel 4201 to reverse the card to implement the card withdrawal. One or more methods can be used in the same licensing device.

The utility model recognizes the front and back of the playing cards in the conveying channel, and flips the playing cards in the flop channel. The two steps do not affect each other, and the cards can be flopped and dealt continuously, which greatly improves the efficiency and the issue of cards. 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. The camera 4238 and a detection sensor for detecting the placement of the playing cards are fixed on the bottom wall 4204 or 4204 of the conveying channel. On the conveying top wall 4218, when the detecting sensor detects a playing card, the camera is activated at the same time or delayed, 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 follow this The pattern information identifies the front and back of a playing card, such as the front side when it is recognized as a character pattern.

In order to ensure that the camera can be activated in time and take a panoramic view of the character patterns on the playing cards, the following settings are preferred:

In the first case, the playing cards are transported forward along the width side in the card-dealing device (that is, the width of the transport 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 left or right wall of the adjacent conveying channel is: the vertical distance between the character pattern of a playing card and its near side edge <M <the character pattern distance of a 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 8.8cm long and 5.7cm wide) as an example, 58mm＜B＜62mm, 6mm＜M＜12mm.

In the second case, the playing cards are transported along the length side in the card-dealing device (that is, the width of the transport 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 left or right wall of the adjacent conveying channel is: the vertical distance between the character pattern of a playing card and its near side edge <M <the character pattern distance of a 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 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 be transported closer to the side of the left or right side through a specific conveying method, speed and direction, so that the width of the conveying channel will not affect the setting of the camera. Need to limit: the vertical distance M between the center of the camera lens and the left or right wall of the adjacent conveying channel is: the vertical distance between the character pattern of a playing card and its near side edge <M <the character of a playing card The vertical distance of the meta pattern from its proximal side edge is +5mm. Take the commonly used playing cards (Bridge Size 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 not only avoids unnecessary scratching and obstruction of the playing cards and the side walls of the conveying channel, but also ensures that the camera can still take a panoramic view of the position of the playing cards when the playing cards are inclined in the conveying channel.

In addition, in order to avoid or reduce the influence of uncertain factors such as the advancing speed of the playing cards in the conveying channel, it is preferable to arrange the detection sensor for detecting the presence of the playing cards and the camera 4238 adjacent to each other, so that the detection sensor detects After the playing cards are in place, the camera is activated immediately to take a panoramic view of the position of the characters of the playing cards. In other embodiments, it may also be preferable to provide two cameras in the conveying channel. The two cameras are respectively close to the left and right side walls of the conveying channel. Multiple cameras are used to photograph and recognize to improve the accuracy and recognition of the front and back of playing cards. Recognition efficiency.

It should be noted that the width of the above-mentioned conveying channel refers to the effective width of playing cards that can be conveyed in the conveying channel, and the left or right side wall of the above-mentioned conveying channel refers to the theoretical left or right wall of the effective width. In an embodiment, the left side wall or the right side wall of the conveying channel may be a visible structure formed by a stop element component, a stop element structure, a shell wall surface, etc., or a non-visual structure that actually exists, for example, by controlling the conveying wheel/ The roller conveying method, speed, direction and other methods limit the reach of the playing cards to a specific range in the conveying channel, and the left and right boundaries of the specific range are regarded as the left or right side of the conveying channel.

As shown in Figure 19, in this embodiment, a first sensor 4235, a second sensor 4236, and a third sensor 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. The sensor 4237 uses the first sensor 4235 and the third sensor 4237 to detect the length and distance covered by the playing cards in the conveying channel at the same time to determine whether there are multiple overlapping playing cards. If the first sensor 4237 4235 and the third sensor 4237 are blocked at the same time (the playing cards are detected), it is determined that there are two partially overlapping playing cards entering the conveying channel, and the card-dealing motor 4220 reverses to return the playing cards to the card storage box 41 and re-enter The cards are divided.

For the case that playing cards are transported along the width side in the card-dealing device (that is, the width of the transport channel is close to the width of the playing cards), the distance between the first sensor 4235 and the third sensor 4237 is longer than that of the poker. The length of the card is 2mm-3mm larger.

For the case that playing cards are transported along the length side in the card-dealing device (that is, the width of the transport channel is close to the length of the playing cards), the distance between the first sensor 4235 and the third sensor 4237 is longer than that of the poker. The width of the card is 2mm-3mm larger.

The second sensor 4236 is arranged between the first sensor 4235 and the third sensor 4237, and when it is blocked (a playing card is detected), the flop motor 4230 is activated as needed to perform the flop. The second sensor 4236 can also cooperate with the first sensor 4235 and the third sensor 4237 to assist in determining whether there are partially overlapping playing cards.

In this way, after the single playing card separated by the card splitting mechanism, after passing through the first sensor, the camera takes pictures for front and back recognition. When the playing card continues to move forward along the channel to the position of the second sensor, according to the recognition result, Control whether the flop agency flips playing cards. If the first sensor is blocked first until the third sensor is also blocked at the same time (that is, the playing cards are continuously detected), it means that two playing cards partially overlap and enter the conveying channel, and the card-dealing motor starts to reverse and turn The poker cards that enter the card-travel channel are returned to the card storage box to re-separate the single cards, so as to ensure the accuracy of the number of cards dealt.

The image recognition method is used to identify the front and back of a playing card. Due to the uncertainty of the pattern on the back of the playing card, it is easy to identify the wrong side. Therefore, it is preferable to use the learning mode to identify the front and back of the poker. In this way, you can set the learning mode The playing cards entered into the poker machine are recognized and learned to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the poker machine's recognition of the playing cards.

The learning mode may be automatic coding or convolutional neural network. The neural network does not require a mathematical model. In fact, it takes a feature pattern for comparison. If it matches, it starts the comparison of other positions or the entire image. This model requires a lot of memory and a powerful CPU. Therefore, it is preferable to adopt the learning mode of deep automatic coding, which is to first develop a mathematical model (encoder), sample the input pattern in multiple layers, extract abstract feature information, use the encoder to generate the feature code, and use a certain number of samples to perform the feature code. Fix.

In this embodiment, the method of learning the pattern to recognize the front and back of poker is to sample the back side patterns or front side character patterns of multiple playing cards to generate a feature code, save the feature code, and then use this feature code to match and be compared The pattern is used to identify the front and back of poker.

The preferred embodiment is that the poker machine sets up a learning mode and a card playing mode: in the learning mode, put multiple playing cards uniformly placed face down or reverse face down (for example, a new poker card with uniform front and back sides). ), the poker machine samples the reverse patterns or front character patterns of multiple playing cards to generate a characteristic code, and saves the characteristic code; in the card mode, the poker machine obtains the reverse pattern or the front character pattern of these playing cards , And use this feature code to match the compared patterns to identify the front and back of the poker. According to the recognition result, control whether the flop mechanism flips the poker.

As shown in Figures 9 to 12, the flop mechanism includes the first card issuing wheel 4207, the flop wheel 4210, the flop pressing wheel 4211, and the second card pressing wheel 4212. The flop wheel 4210 is the driving wheel and is turned The card motor 4230 drives and rotates (as shown in Figure 15, the flop motor shaft 42301 and the flop wheel shaft 42101 are connected by the flop transmission belt 4232), the first card press wheel 4207, the flop press wheel 4211 and the second card press Wheels 4212 are driven wheels. The first card press wheel 4207 and the flop press wheel 4211 are in rolling contact with the flop wheel 4210 respectively. The second card press wheel 4212 is in rolling contact with the flop press wheel 4211. The flop wheel 4210 is in contact with the flop wheel 4211. The first card exit channel 4208 is formed between the first card press wheel 4207, the flop channel 4224 is formed between the flop wheel 4210 and the flop press wheel 4211, and the flop press wheel 4211 and the second card press wheel 4212 are formed between Form the second card channel 4213, the flop wheel 4210 is installed inside the flop channel 4224 and located between the first card channel 4208 and the second card channel 4213, the flop channel 4224 is along a part of the arc of the flop wheel 4210 The circular circle extends from the side of the flop wheel 4210 close to the first card channel 4208 to the other side of the flop wheel 4210 away from the first card channel 4208, which is used to open or close the flop channel 4224 or the first card The flop component 4209 of the channel 4208 is arranged on the outer side of the flop channel 4224 near the end of the first card issuing channel 4208, and the end of the flop channel 4224 far away from the first card issuing channel 4208 is provided with a card pushing member 4216, and the second card issuing channel 4213 Set at a position opposite to the card pushing component 4216 outside the flop channel 4224, the flop component 4209 is driven to swing by the flop driving mechanism to open or close the flop channel 4224 or the first card-out channel 4208. As shown in Figure 11, when the flop component 4209 closes the flop channel 4224 or opens the exit of the first card-out channel 4208, the card-in channel 4103, the conveying channel and the first card-out channel 4208 are connected in sequence, and the playing cards are discharged from the first The card channel 4208 is sent to the receiving position of the card receiving seat 2; as shown in Figure 12, when the flop component 4209 opens the flop channel 4224 and closes the exit of the first card exit channel 4208, the card entry channel 4103, the conveying channel, The first card channel 4208, the flop channel 4224, and the second card channel 4213 are connected in sequence. After the playing cards come out of the first card channel 4208, they are blocked by the flop component 4209 and turned to enter the flop channel 4224, and are turned by the flop. 4210 and the flop pressing wheel 4211 are sent to the end of the flop channel 4224. The front end of the playing card is against the pushing part 4216. The playing card returns to a straight state after the back end of the flop pressing wheel 4211. The pushing part 4216 pushes. Under the action, the back end of the playing card first enters the second card issuing channel 4213 and is sent out to the card receiving position of the card receiving seat 2 by the flop pressing wheel 4211 and the second card issuing pressing wheel 4212. In this way, the passing playing cards are turned back and forth by 180° through the flop channel so as to realize the turning of the front and back of the playing cards.

It should be noted that, in other embodiments of the present invention, the first card issuing channel 4208 and the second card issuing channel 4213 may not be directly connected to the outlet of the card receiving position of the deck 2, that is, when the first card is issued After the passage 4208 and/or the second card discharging passage 4213, one or more passages (or conveying wheels/conveying rollers) for continuing to transport the playing cards may be provided to send the playing cards to the card receiving position of the card receiving seat 2.

The flop wheel 4210, the first card press wheel 4207, the flop press wheel 4211 and the second card press wheel 4212 are several components, each of which can be a roller part, or it can be mounted on the same shaft It is composed of multiple wheel-shaped parts. In this embodiment, the flop wheel 4210, the first card press wheel 4207, the flop press wheel 4211, and the second card press wheel 4212 all include multiple wheels mounted on their respective shafts, and the flop component 4209 also includes mounting For the multiple components on the same rotating shaft, the flop component 4209 and the flop wheel 4210 are arranged in a staggered manner. In this way, the structure is simple and the installation and cooperation are convenient. A rubber ring may be installed on the flop wheel 4210, the first card pressing wheel 4207, the flop pressing wheel 4211 and/or the second card pressing wheel 4212 to increase the friction with the playing cards.

In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 11 to 14, the flop channel 4224 includes the inner side wall 4215 of the flop channel. Two swinging ends are formed on both sides. The inner side of the flop component 4209 is in an arc shape corresponding to the outer circumference of the flop wheel 4210, so that the flop component 4209 can not only play a better role in blocking steering, but also the flop component 4209 It can play the role of the outer side wall of the flop channel, and there is no need to specially set the outer side wall of the flop channel. In other embodiments, as shown in Figures 24, 25, and 26, the swing center (flop axis 42091) of the flop component 4209 is located at one end thereof, and the outer wall 4239 of the flop channel needs to be specially provided to ensure that the playing cards are in The flop channel 4224 passes smoothly.

In this embodiment, the flop channel 4224 and the second card discharging channel 4213 are arranged above the first card discharging channel 4208 (that is, the flop wheel 4210, the flop pressing wheel 4211, and the second card discharging wheel 4212 are located in the first card discharging channel 4208. Above the card pressing wheel 4207), in this way, the height setting of the card dealer and even the poker machine is more reasonable, the model is thinner and the number of cards stored is more. Of course, if space permits, the flop channel 4224 and the second card exit channel 4213 can also be set below the first card exit channel 4208 (ie the flop wheel 4210, the flop press wheel 4211 and the second card press The wheel 4212 is located below the first card pressing wheel 4207), as shown in FIG. 26.

In order to prevent the playing cards from getting stuck close to the side wall in the flop channel 4224, and to ensure that the playing cards can enter the second card outlet channel 4213 between the flop press wheel 4211 and the second card press wheel 4212, install the second card press A transition wheel 4223 is arranged on the side of the second card issuing press wheel frame 4214 of the wheel 4212 close to the flop wheel 4210 to guide the playing cards between the flop press wheel 4211 and the second card issuing press wheel 4212.

In order to ensure the delivery pressure and avoid slipping, it is preferable to give the first card pressing wheel 4207 and/or the flop pressing wheel 4211 a tendency to press the flop wheel 4210 through the respective enabling mechanism, and it is preferable to give the second card through the enabling mechanism The tendency of the pressing wheel 4212 to press the flop pressing wheel 4211 tightly. These energizing mechanisms can be elastic components such as springs, shrapnels, elastic rings, or elastic shafts, or they can be elastic energizing mechanisms composed of multiple components. In this embodiment, the first card output pressure wheel 4207 is rotatably installed on the first card output pressure wheel frame 4206, the first card output pressure wheel frame 4206 is hinged to the bottom wall 4204 of the conveying channel, and a torsion spring is provided on the hinge shaft. In order to prompt the first card press wheel 4207 to press the flop wheel 4210, the flop press wheel 4211 is equipped with an elastic rubber ring so as to be pressed against the flop wheel 4210, and the second card press wheel 4212 is installed on the first card through an elastic shaft. The second card presser roller frame 4214 presses the flop presser roller 4211 tightly. In this way, the installation is convenient, and the structure is simple and reliable.

The flop driving mechanism that drives the flop component 4209 to open or close the first card-out channel 4208 (open the flop channel 4224) can be realized by a motor through a reduction mechanism or a transmission mechanism. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. The electromagnet 4229 is driven. One end of the flop shaft 42091 of the flop component 4209 is fixed with the crank 4234. The swing end of the crank 4234 is connected to the movable end of the electromagnet 4229 through the connecting rod 4233. In this way, the electromagnet 4229 is required to act when the flop component 4209 is required to act. The flop member 4209 is pulled through the connecting rod 4233 and the crank 4234 to swing. Because the card flop action is performed based on the result of the camera identifying the front and back of the playing card, which is selective and intermittent, the electromagnet structure of this embodiment is more reasonable and the manufacturing cost is low.

The card pushing member 4216 may be an elastic member such as a spring, an elastic piece, an elastic elastic band, or the like, or an elastic energizing mechanism composed of multiple members. In this embodiment, the card pushing member 4216 is a plurality of springs arranged at the end of the channel. This structure is simple and easy to install.

In another alternative implementation of the card flop mechanism, the card flop channel 4224 is directly connected to the card storage box 41, and the second card issuing channel 4213, the second card pressing wheel 4212 and the card pushing member 4216 are no longer provided. The playing cards of are returned directly to the card storage box to re-enter the cards to be dealt. That is, the flop mechanism includes the first card pressing wheel, the flop wheel, and the flop pressing wheel. The flop wheel is the driving wheel and is driven by the flop motor. The first card pressing wheel and the flop pressing wheel are both from The moving wheel, the first card pressing wheel and the flop pressing wheel are in rolling contact with the flop wheel respectively, the first card channel is formed between the flop wheel and the first card pressing wheel, and between the flop wheel and the flop pressing wheel The flop channel is formed. The flop wheel is installed on the inner side of the flop channel. The flop channel extends from the side of the flop wheel close to the first card channel along the arc of the flop wheel to the flop wheel away from the first card. On the other side of the card issuing channel, the end of the flop channel is connected to the space in the card storage box, and the flop component used to open or close the flop channel or the first card channel is arranged outside the flop channel and close to the first card. At one end of the channel, the flop component is driven to swing by the flop driving mechanism to open or close the flop channel or the first card-out channel. When the flop component closes the flop channel or opens the exit of the first card-out channel, the card-in channel, the conveying channel and the first card-out channel are connected in sequence, and the playing cards are sent out from the first card-out channel to the receiving position of the card receiving seat. Up; when the flop component opens the flop channel and closes the exit of the first card-out channel, the card-in channel, the conveying channel, the first card-out channel, and the flop channel are connected in sequence, and the playing cards are removed from the first card-out channel The flop component blocks the turning into the flop channel, and is sent to the end of the flop channel by the flop wheel and the flop wheel to enter the storage box (the storage box and the flop wheel can also be provided with several conveying wheels and their pressure The wheel is used to transport playing cards). In this way, the passing playing cards are turned back and forth through the flop channel to realize the flip of the front and back of the playing cards. The other structure is the same as above. This structural scheme can make the depth of the card storage box shallow and the height of the poker machine low, but the card issuing efficiency is relatively low and the manufacturing cost is high.

The poker machine as described above includes a card receiving seat 2 and a card dealer. The card dealer is installed in the center of the card receiving seat 2 and is driven to rotate relative to the card receiving seat 2 through a rotary drive mechanism.
