Abstract

A card dealing device using gear floating scheme is provided. At least one gear in a gear assembly between a card dealing gear and a card dispensing gear is configured to be floatable to reduce power loss, enhance operational efficiency and smoothness of the card dealing device, and offer low-cost advantages. A card separating ramp, which protrudes forward, is provided on a bottom surface of a card dealing opening. Card separation is performed by the card separating ramp, which is simpler and more practical compared to other card separation structures, and also cost-effective. A card separating ramp and a buffer guiding surface are provided on a lower bottom surface of a card dealing channel, and a card limiting assembly is disposed above the card separating ramp, such that a predetermined gap is formed between the card limiting assembly and the card separating ramp.

Dependent claims

A card dealing device, comprising:

a housing having a card storage chamber for accommodating cards, a card access opening located at a top side and/or a rear side and/or a left side or a right side of the card storage chamber, a card dispensing chute located at a front side of the card storage chamber, and a card dealing opening located at a front side of the housing and corresponding to the card dispensing chute;
a card dispensing mechanism disposed at a bottom or a top of the card storage chamber, and configured to dispense cards inside the card storage chamber to the card dispensing chute;
and
a card dealing mechanism disposed between the card dispensing chute and the card dealing opening, and configured to deal cards passing therethrough from the card dealing opening;
wherein
the card dealing mechanism comprises:
a card dealing member configured to drive a driving member of the card dealing member to rotate, and a card dealing gear disposed at one end of the card dealing member and rotating with the card dealing member;
the card dispensing mechanism comprises:
a card dispensing member and a card dispensing gear disposed at one end of the card dispensing member, and a rotation speed of the card dispensing member is lower than a rotation speed of the card dealing member;
a gear assembly is disposed between the card dealing gear and the card dispensing gear for transmitting or cutting off power, at least one gear in the gear assembly is floatable to disengage from the gear assembly, so as to cut off power transmission;
the driving member drives the card dealing member to rotate, the card dealing gear drives the card dispensing gear via the gear assembly to drive the card dispensing member to rotate and deliver cards located in the card storage chamber;
when a card simultaneously contacts the card dispensing member and the card dealing member, a movement speed of the card increases under driving of the card dealing member, and a rear edge of the card applies a force to the card dispensing member to cause an increase in the rotation speed of the card dispensing member and the card dispensing gear, and at this time, at least one gear in the gear assembly floats and disengages from the gear assembly so as to cut off the power transmission.

a housing having a card storage chamber for accommodating cards, a card access opening located at one side of the card storage chamber and in communication with the card storage chamber, a card dispensing chute located at a front side of the card storage chamber, a card dealing opening located at a front side of the housing, and a card dealing channel located between the card dispensing chute and the card dealing opening;
a card dispensing mechanism disposed at a bottom or a top of the card storage chamber, and configured to dispense cards to the card dispensing chute;
and
a card dealing mechanism disposed inside the card dealing channel, and configured to deal cards from the card dealing opening;
wherein
a lower bottom surface of the card dealing channel comprises a card separating ramp and a gently sloped card guiding surface;
the card separating ramp protrudes upward from the card dispensing chute toward the card dealing opening for guiding card separation;
the gently sloped card guiding surface is located between the card separating ramp and the card dealing opening, and an inclination angle of the gently sloped card guiding surface gradually decreases in a direction toward the card dealing opening;
and
a card limiting assembly is disposed above the card separating ramp and forms a predetermined gap with the card separating ramp therebetween, and configured to limit a number of cards passing through the predetermined gap to be one card by squeezing and gap fitting.
