The mounting structure of the card feeding bin gate can be seen from a cover plate device for a card feeding frame of a poker machine disclosed in patent document with publication number CN 103157272B. However, in practical use, the cover plate is raised too high to protrude from the table top, or the cover plate cannot fall down by its own weight, so that the cover plate cannot be opened. In order to overcome these technical problems, a card feeding gate device with the following two structures is preferably adopted:

the first card feeding bin gate device has a structure as shown in fig. 4 to 8, and comprises a card feeding bin gate 201, a sliding cover plate 202 and a cover plate bracket 203 which are arranged on a card feeding frame 205, wherein the cover plate bracket 203 is arranged on one side of the card feeding frame 205, a horizontal track 2051 and a vertical track 2052 which are communicated are arranged on the card feeding frame 205, the sliding cover plate 202 is in sliding connection with the cover plate bracket 203 and is driven to move by a cover plate motor 210 arranged on the cover plate bracket 203, the card feeding bin gate 201 is arranged above the sliding cover plate 202 and is folded up and down through an elastic component, a plurality of pushing slope 2022 are arranged on the sliding cover plate 202, a bearing slope 2012 matched with the pushing slope 2022 is arranged on the card feeding bin gate 201, the sliding cover plate 202 drives the card feeding bin gate 201 to move along the horizontal track 2051 so as to open or close a card discharging bin of the card feeding frame 205, the card feeding bin gate 201 is enabled to ascend along the vertical track 2052 through the matching of the pushing slope 2022 and the bearing slope 2012, and the card feeding bin gate 201 is enabled to descend along the vertical track 2052 through the pulling of the elastic component.

The elastic member may be a spring, a spring piece, or the like, and in this embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, 9, and 10, the elastic member is an elastic steel wire 216, where the elastic steel wire 216 passes through a steel wire hole 2013 on the card entry door 201, two ends of the elastic steel wire 216 are inserted into a steel wire groove 2021 on the sliding cover 202, and the steel wire groove 2021 preferably has a certain length so that the end of the elastic steel wire 216 moves in the steel wire groove 2021. Of course, the wire holes 2013 may be provided on the sliding cover 202, while the wire grooves 2021 are provided on the card entry gate 201. As shown in fig. 9 and 10, in this embodiment, a plurality of guide blocks 2011 are disposed on two sides of the card feeding bin gate 201, and the guide blocks 2011 extend into the horizontal rail 2051 and/or the vertical rail 2052 of the card feeding frame 205 to realize guiding movement. A rack 204 is fixed on the sliding cover plate 202, a gear 209 is rotatably arranged on the cover plate bracket 203, and a cover plate motor 210 drives the sliding cover plate 202 to move through the gear 209 and the rack 204. In addition, a horizontal rail groove communicated with the horizontal rail 2051 of the card feeding frame 205 is also arranged on the cover plate bracket 203 for guiding the movement of the card feeding bin gate 201, and a sensor 217 for detecting the movement position of the card feeding bin gate 201 and/or the sliding cover plate 202 is also arranged on the cover plate bracket 203.

As shown in fig. 4, when the card feeding bin gate 201 is opened, the card feeding bin gate 201 is drawn by the elastic component to descend to approach the sliding cover plate 202, and the card feeding bin gate 201 and the sliding cover plate 202 are staggered by a certain horizontal distance under the cooperation of the pushing slope 2022 and the bearing slope 2012; when the card feeding bin gate is closed, the sliding cover plate 202 always moves horizontally forward, the card feeding bin gate 201 moves along the horizontal track 2051 first, after the card feeding bin gate moves horizontally, the card feeding bin gate 201 is pushed to ascend along the vertical track 2052 under the cooperation of the pushing slope 2022 and the bearing slope 2012 until the sliding cover plate 202 moves in place, as shown in fig. 5, so that the card feeding bin gate 201 is lifted from below to just cover the card placing port of the card feeding frame 205 and is basically flush with the tabletop 11, and the card feeding bin gate is closed. When the card feeding frame 205 is opened, the cover plate motor 210 drives the sliding cover plate 202 to retreat, the sliding cover plate 202 descends along the vertical rail 2052 under the action of the drawing of the elastic component, and then retreats along the horizontal rail 2051 and the sliding cover plate 202 together, and the card feeding bin gate 201 is lower than the tabletop due to the falling of the card feeding bin gate 201, so that the card feeding bin gate 201 can be retracted under the tabletop without extending out of one side of the tabletop when being retreated and opened; and stopping the motor until the sensor detects that the card feeding bin gate is opened. Because the card feeding bin gate 201 and the sliding cover plate 202 are connected in a pulling way through the elastic component, the defect that the dead weight of the card feeding bin gate and the card feeding frame cannot be reduced in the prior art is avoided.

When in snap connection, the card arranging cover plate frame 6021 and the card baffle 602 are integrally covered above the card moving channel to form an upper seal; when the buckling relation is released, the end part of the card arranging cover plate frame 6021 is a movable end part, and can be turned relative to the hinged end; when the playing cards in the card moving channel of the card sorting device 6 need to be cleaned, the card sorting cover plate frame 6021 and the card blocking plate 602 at the lower end of the card sorting cover plate frame are turned upwards, so that the card moving channel of the playing cards is opened, the playing cards in the channel are convenient to clean, and the assembly, the debugging and the later maintenance are convenient. The buckle connection structure is specifically that a side wall of a frame body of the card feeding frame 205 is provided with a pin hole, and two axially opposite pin holes 612 are preferably arranged; the pin shaft, the shift lever driving the pin shaft to axially move, and the elastic component (such as a spring) are arranged in the card arranging cover plate frame 6021, the elastic component can drive the pin shaft to enter the pin hole 612 to form a buckling relationship, and the shift lever is operated by external force, so that the pin shaft can be pulled out of the pin hole 612 against the elasticity of the elastic component, and the buckling relationship is relieved. Further, the upper end surface of the card blocking plate 602 is sleeved with the lower end surface of the card sorting cover plate frame 6021 through a mortise and tenon structure, the mortise and tenon sleeved end is positioned above the card feeding end of the card feeding channel, and the card blocking plate 602 and the card sorting cover plate frame 6021 are basically fixed through the mortise and tenon structure; only an adjusting spring 613 is arranged between the card baffle 602 above the card outlet end of the card channel and the card arranging cover plate frame 6021 as a connecting part, and a pressing wheel 607 matched with the card feeding roller B606 is also arranged on the card baffle 602; under the structure, the card baffle 602 above the card outlet end of the card moving channel is not completely fixed, the card baffle 602 has certain material elasticity, and the adjusting spring can apply downward force to the card baffle 602; with this structure, the fit clearance between the pressing wheel 607 and the card feeding roller B606 is relatively adjustable, so as to avoid damage caused by card jamming.

As shown in fig. 12 and 13, the side baffle 6011 is fixedly connected with or integrally formed with the card arranging bracket 601; the card feeding roller A604 of the card feeding belt 605 is in transmission connection with the card feeding motor 611 arranged on the card sorting support 601, the roller shaft of the card sorting belt 608 is in transmission connection with the card sorting motor 609 arranged on the card sorting support 601, and the roller shaft of the card sorting belt 608 is in transmission connection with the card poking wheel 610 through gears. The card dialing part 6101 on the card dialing wheel 610 may be in the shape of a bar, a tooth or a sheet, and preferably, the card dialing part 6101 is made of rubber or soft plastic with elasticity. As shown in fig. 24 and 25, in another embodiment, the card pulling portion 6101 has an inclined card pushing surface 6102, and the position of the card pulling portion 6101 contacting the playing card changes during the rotation of the card pulling portion 6101 by the card pulling wheel 610. The card pulling part can be spirally arranged, and the card pushing surface on the card pulling part can be a curved surface (concave-convex inclined surface) or a flat inclined surface, and only the playing card can be lifted in the rotating direction of the card pulling part. The setting is pressed to the card shifting portion, because the card pushing surface 6102 of card shifting portion inclines, in the process of shifting the transfer direction of the card of the correction playing card in the card shifting wheel, the card shifting portion can drive one corner of the playing card contacted with the card shifting portion to be lifted upwards to be separated from the card conveying belt, the force required for shifting the playing card is small in the separation state of the playing card and the card conveying belt, the contact position of the card shifting portion and the playing card is always changed, the situation that the card only contacts the same position of the card shifting wheel is avoided, the damage of the playing card to the card shifting portion is reduced, and therefore the service life of the card shifting wheel is prolonged.

The convex rings 6041 are arranged on the circumferences of the two sides of the card feeding roller A604 extending out of the card feeding belt 605, so that the position, which is not covered by the card feeding belt 605, of the card feeding position of the horn-shaped card feeding channel also forms the transferring power for transferring the playing cards, and the playing cards are prevented from being blocked or staying in the card feeding channel. Preferably, the convex ring 6041 on the circumference of the card feeding roller A604 near the side of the baffle 6011 has an outer diameter higher than the conveying surface of the card feeding belt 605, so that the playing cards can move towards the side of the card sorting belt 608, the card sorting efficiency is improved, and the card locking of the playing cards is further avoided. Further preferably, the collar 6041 is helical to further facilitate movement of the playing cards to the side of the card managing belt 608.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 6, the minimum distance between the card baffle 602 and the conveyer 213 is smaller than the minimum distance between the card baffle 602 and the card feeding belt 605, so that the card feeding amount of the card feeding port of the card feeding channel can be limited, and the card arranging space is sufficient, thereby ensuring smooth card feeding and card arranging.

Preferably, the card arranging belt 608 has a surface structure such as grooves, ribs or bars on the outer surface contacting with the playing cards, so as to facilitate the rotation of the playing cards, thereby improving card arranging efficiency.

The card pressing wheel 603 may be fixed, but the card pressing wheel 603 preferably may move up and down through power transmission, so that the card pressing wheel 603 may be lifted to reduce friction of playing cards when the card sorting device is fast in card discharging, and the card pressing wheel 603 may be pressed down to ensure card sorting efficiency when the card sorting device is not in card discharging for a long time. The card pressing wheel 603 can be driven by a motor to move up and down.

The card arranging method comprises the following steps:

as shown in figure 14, the playing cards 1000 are placed in the card feeding frame at any angle, the card feeding motor drives the card feeding belt 605 to move to transfer the playing cards, the card feeding belt is horizontally placed on the playing cards, the card pressing wheel rolls to press the playing cards, when the playing cards do not move forward with the width edge, the playing cards can contact the card sorting belt 608 moving backwards, under the simultaneous action of the card feeding belt 605 and the card sorting belt 608, as shown in figure 15, the playing cards rotate clockwise, the playing cards continue to move forwards until the card outlet direction is adjusted to be the width edge forward, in this way, the card sorting belt rotates to sort the playing cards forward with the width edge, as shown in figure 16, the card pulling wheel 610 dials the transfer direction of the playing cards, and the card feeding belt translates the playing cards to be sent out, and the card sorting is finished.

The card feeding mechanism and the card discharging mechanism share a card distributing motor.

In the embodiment, the card discharging pressing plate 704 is hinged with the card distributing bin 701 through a rotating shaft and is endowed with a downward pressing trend through a torsion spring (so that the card discharging pressing roller 705 is pressed on the card discharging roller 706); two annular bulges are arranged on the card feeding roller B709, and two grooves A corresponding to the annular bulges are arranged on the card feeding pressing plate B710; the bottom wall of the card distributing bin 701 extends from the card storing space to the card feeding roller B709, and a space for discharging paper scraps of the playing cards is reserved between the card feeding roller B709 and the card discharging roller 706, so that the faults of moving parts or the faults of sensors caused by the paper scraps are avoided.

In the prior art, as disclosed in patent documents such as CN2801230Y, CN203303617U, a dealing limit plate is adopted to limit the card outlet height of a card outlet of a dealing bin, or the card outlet height of the card outlet of the dealing bin is limited by arranging an upper roller and a lower roller which are oppositely rolled up and down, the number of playing cards passing through the card outlet of the dealing bin is limited by the structure, and the structure is very easy to be blocked when a plurality of playing cards enter the card outlet of the dealing bin, so that the requirement on the used playing cards is very high, the size adjustment of the card outlet of the dealing bin is also required to be completely consistent with the thickness of the playing cards, and the situation that a plurality of playing cards cannot be separated and blocked at the card outlet of the dealing bin due to static electricity or viscosity between the playing cards is also easy to be caused during use.

In order to solve the technical problem, the gap between the pressing plate convex strip and the card feeding pressing plate A703 limits the entrance of only a few playing cards (at most three playing cards in the embodiment), and through the front-back dislocation and the upper-lower overlapping design of the pressing plate convex strip and the card feeding pressing plate A703 (the pressing plate convex strip is staggered with the axis of the card feeding roller A711 by a horizontal distance d and is closer to the card storage space of the card separating bin 701 than the axis of the card feeding roller A711, and the pressing plate convex strip is lower than the top of the card feeding roller A711), when the gap between the pressing plate convex strip and the card feeding roller A711 enters a plurality of playing cards, the entering ends of the playing cards are tilted so that the upper playing cards and the lower playing cards are prevented from being separated by electrostatic adhesion, and the static adhesion of the upper playing cards and the lower playing cards is avoided, because the static friction force between the pressing plate convex strip and the upper playing cards is far greater than the friction force between the upper playing cards and the lower playing cards, and the conveying power of the playing cards is derived from the card feeding roller A is applied to the lower playing cards, and the upper playing cards and the lower playing cards are kept to be separated and the lower cards and the upper and the lower playing cards are kept forward and the lower and are kept temporarily separated. Although the pressing plate convex strip and the card feeding roller A711 separate the two playing cards which are overlapped up and down, the situation that the two playing cards enter between the card feeding pressing plate B710 and the card feeding roller B709 in sequence is unavoidable, the technical scheme ensures that the two playing cards are deformed through the matching of the concave-convex dislocation structures on the card feeding pressing plate B710 and the card feeding roller B709, so that the two playing cards are prevented from being separated due to electrostatic adhesion, and because the card feeding pressing plate B is static and the concave-convex structure is smaller than the pressing contact area of the playing card above, the static friction force between the card feeding pressing plate B and the playing card above is far greater than the friction force between the playing card above and the playing card below, and the conveying power of the playing card is derived from the card feeding roller B and is applied to the playing card below, so that the playing card below is conveyed to move forwards continuously, the playing card above is temporarily detained, and only the playing card below is sent out from between the card feeding pressing plate B710 and the card feeding roller B709; the delivered playing cards are clamped by a card delivery compression roller 705 and a card delivery roller 706 and delivered to the card turning device.

In other embodiments of the card distributing mechanism of the present invention, the upper and lower positions of the card feeding pressing plate a703 and the card feeding roller a711 may be interchanged, or the upper and lower positions of the card feeding pressing plate B710 and the card feeding roller B709 may be interchanged, or the upper and lower positions of the card discharging pressing plate 205 and the card discharging pressing roller 705 and the card discharging roller 706 may be interchanged, or the concave-convex structures on the card feeding roller B709 and the card feeding pressing plate B710 may be interchanged or deformed, so that the effective separation of the plurality of playing cards may be realized, which is one of the specific embodiments applying the playing card separating principle of the present invention. The card feeding pressing plate a703, the card feeding roller a711, the card feeding pressing plate B710, the card feeding roller B709, the card discharging pressing plate 704, the card discharging pressing roller 705 and the card discharging roller 706 may be an integral part or a combined part formed by a plurality of parts to achieve the same function, for example, the card feeding pressing plate B710 may be an integral part with concave-convex structure, the card feeding pressing plate B710 may also be formed by fixing a roller part with concave-convex rings on a pressing plate part, and in another embodiment, the roller part with concave-convex rings is mounted on the pressing plate part in a mode of extremely large rotation resistance (i.e. the roller part can rotate relative to the pressing plate part but has large rotation difficulty resistance).

Preferably, the card feeding pressing plate a703 is formed with an inclined plane or an arc surface on one side of the pressing plate convex strip close to the card feeding direction, so that only a few playing cards enter between the pressing plate convex strip and the card feeding roller a711 after being separated by blocking, and the playing card separating pressure of the card discharging mechanism is reduced. Similarly, the card feeding pressing plate B710 is formed with an inclined plane or an arc surface at one side close to the card feeding direction, so that when two or three playing cards pass through the pressing plate convex strip and the card feeding roller a711 and then tilt up, the playing cards can be further and conveniently moved up and down, and only one or two playing cards enter between the card feeding pressing plate B710 and the card feeding roller B709 through blocking, and the playing card separation pressure of the card discharging mechanism can be reduced, and the blocking of the playing cards can be avoided. In addition, a space for tilting one end of the playing card is provided between the card feeding pressing plate a703 and the card feeding pressing plate B710, that is, an upward inclined plane or an arc surface is formed behind the pressing plate convex strip, so that a plurality of playing cards passing through the pressing plate convex strip and the card feeding roller a711 can be fully tilted and thoroughly separated.

Preferably, the cross section of the pressing plate convex strip is V-shaped, so that the pressing plate separating effect is better.

However, as described in the above embodiments, in the card feeding device, the card outlet of the card feeding frame 205 is provided with a card discharging mechanism for discharging a small number of playing cards; the card discharging mechanism has the same function as that realized by the card discharging mechanism of the card distributing device 7, so that the card discharging efficiency of the card distributing device 7 can be completely suitable for the card discharging efficiency of the card distributing device 6 in theory, and the phenomenon of stacking playing cards can not be generated. Therefore, the card sorting device 7 in this embodiment can discard the card sorting bin 701 and the conveying mechanism 702 therein, and only the card discharging mechanism of the card sorting device 7 is reserved and is received on the card discharging port of the card sorting device 6. In another embodiment, the card discharging mechanism only retains one group of card feeding devices, and discards the whole card distributing device 7, namely the card distributing device 7 is not contained in the scheme, and the card discharging port of the card arranging device 6 directly receives the card turnover device. In another embodiment, the card sorting device 6 is discarded, and is sequentially accepted by the card feeding device, the card distributing device and the card turning device, and the playing card machine under the structure can not realize the card sorting function (i.e. can not adjust the card discharging direction of the playing cards) as a simplified plate, so that players are required to sort the playing cards to be processed into the same card discharging direction before the playing cards are put into the card feeding device, and the card feeding port of the card feeding device can be designed into a shape suitable for a single card discharging direction so as to standardize the direction in which the players put the playing cards, and avoid misplacement.

In this way, the invention makes the upper and lower playing cards deform through the matching of the card dealing roller 304 and the concave-convex structure on the card pressing piece 305, thereby avoiding the situation that the upper and lower playing cards cannot be separated due to electrostatic adhesion, and because the card pressing piece 305 cannot rotate synchronously with the card dealing roller 304 and the concave-convex structure is smaller in contact area with the playing cards, the static friction force between the card pressing piece and the playing cards is far greater than the friction force between the upper and lower playing cards, and the conveying power of the playing cards comes from the card dealing roller, so that the playing cards contacted with the card dealing roller are conveyed to move forward continuously, the playing cards contacted with the card pressing piece are temporarily retained, and only one playing card is sent out from between the card dealing roller 304 and the card pressing piece 305. Based on the possibility that two playing cards enter the card turning box, an embodiment can also be adopted in which an inductor is arranged in the card turning device or at the card outlet and is used for identifying the stacking condition of a plurality of playing cards (the inductor can not identify when the two playing cards are completely overlapped and can only identify when stacking dislocation exists), when the inductor monitors the abnormal condition of identifying the stacking condition of the plurality of playing cards, the plurality of playing cards are returned to the card turning device, the card turning and dealing process is carried out again, and only one playing card is guaranteed to be sent out from the position between the card dealing roller 304 and the card pressing piece 305; the retained playing cards are subjected to image recognition and card turning processes again, and then enter a card dealing mechanism to deal again. By adopting the repeated card rubbing method combining the card distribution and the card turning, the possibility that the card turning device simultaneously sends out two playing cards can be reduced to the minimum.

In this embodiment, the card pressing member 305 is a roller fixed to the card-distributing platen, and the protrusions are formed in a ring shape on the circumferential surface of the roller, which is convenient for processing and manufacturing, and also facilitates the discharge of paper chips along both sides of the ring-shaped protrusions. In other embodiments, the card pressing member may be integrally formed with the card dealing platen, and a corresponding concave-convex structure is provided at a position of the card pressing member corresponding to the card dealing roller. In other embodiments of the invention, the card dealing rack may be integrally formed with the card shoe.

In order to avoid playing card damage and machine faults caused by the fact that the card pressing piece is pressed on the card dealing roller by great pressure, a card pressing limiting mechanism used for limiting the moving range of the card pressing piece is arranged, the card pressing limiting mechanism can be a waist-shaped hole structure or an upper and lower limiting stop structure arranged on the card turning seat or the card dealing bracket, two ends of the card pressing piece are limited by the waist-shaped hole structure or the upper and lower limiting stop structure, in the embodiment, the card pressing limiting mechanism comprises rollers arranged at two ends of the card dealing roller 304 and bearings arranged at two ends of the card pressing piece 305, the rollers of the card dealing roller are arranged at two ends of a roller shaft of the card dealing roller, the bearings are arranged on shafts at two ends of the card pressing piece 305, and the rollers of the card dealing roller are in rolling contact with the bearings of the card pressing piece in a propping fit mode, so that the minimum gap between the card pressing piece and the card dealing roller can be limited, and the card dealing roller can be provided with very high matching precision and running precision. The elastic mechanism can exert larger acting force on the card pressing piece to accurately control the gap between the card pressing piece and the card dealing roller, and in order to avoid excessive withdrawal of the card pressing piece caused by the fact that the card pressing piece extrudes a plurality of playing cards between the card pressing piece and the card dealing roller, a limit rod for limiting withdrawal of the card pressing piece 305 or the card dealing pressing plate 307 is arranged on the card turning seat or the card dealing bracket so as to limit the maximum gap between the card pressing piece and the card dealing roller.

As shown in fig. 29, the card shoe 301 is provided with a card dealing cover 311 outside the card dealing mechanism, the card dealing cover 311 limits the flying range of the playing cards sent out from the card dealing mechanism so as to avoid that the playing cards cannot fall into the card receiving box, and the card dealing cover 311 is provided with a detecting element 312 for detecting whether the playing cards are sent out or not and a steel sheet 313 for guiding the flying direction of the playing cards. The steel sheet 313 is arranged at the card outlet of the card dealing mechanism of the card turning device, the playing card passing path formed by the card dealing roller 304 and the card pressing piece 305 points to the steel sheet 313, and the steel sheet 313 is inclined or arc-shaped and the like and is used for changing the flying direction of the playing card. When the playing cards fly out from the card outlet, the playing cards face the steel sheet 313 according to the flight track defined by the passing path, the kinetic energy of the playing cards is reduced on one hand after the playing cards touch the steel sheet 313, and the flying direction of the playing cards is guided towards the card receiving box on the other hand, so that the situation that the playing cards cannot fall into the card receiving box is avoided.

The playing cards can generate a large amount of static electricity in the running process of the playing card machine and in the playing process of players, the static electricity is a reason that the upper playing cards and the lower playing cards can generate larger adhesive force and can not be separated, meanwhile, the static electricity can also cause that parts such as a sensor are polluted and invalid, in the process of the playing cards being sent out from a card dealing mechanism to fly, the playing cards with static electricity often drift due to the electric field force and can not fall into a card receiving box, therefore, in the embodiment, the card pressing piece 305 is preferably made of conductive metal materials, and the card pressing piece 305 is grounded to eliminate static electricity on the playing cards.

The dealing arrangement 4 comprises a dealing mechanism arranged outside a card outlet of the card turning box 309, and a plurality of card receiving boxes for receiving the playing cards sent by the dealing mechanism are distributed along the same circumference and move along the circumference. The dealing mechanism is positioned in the rotating circumference of the card receiving box, and the card discharging direction of the dealing mechanism is consistent with the radial direction of the rotating circumference of the card receiving box. The plurality of card receiving boxes are fixed on a rotating ring which is connected with the motor in a transmission way.

Preferably, three positioning wheels are mounted on the frame table-board 1 along the same circumference, and the rotating ring is mounted in the middle of the three positioning wheels in a suspending manner and is in rolling friction contact with the three positioning wheels. The rotating ring is provided with circumferential internal teeth and is in transmission connection with the card distributing motor through gears. The rotating ring is provided with magnetic steel and a baffle for positioning and identifying the card receiving boxes, the table surface of the rack is provided with a corresponding magnetic steel detection element and a corresponding baffle detection element, the control module controls the card distributing motor to randomly distribute playing cards to the card receiving boxes, and the control module records the card receiving quantity of the card receiving boxes and finally completes the random card dealing process.

Further arrangements of the card dealing arrangement, the card shoe and the specific card dealing process can be found in the patent document with publication number CN103083896a and the related patent application of the inventor.

The card lifting device 5 and the card lifting process are described in patent document with publication number CN103055500A, CN103170131A and related patent application of the inventor. As shown in fig. 30 to 33, this embodiment is an improvement of the card lifting device disclosed in CN103055500a, which includes a card lifting seat 51, a card supporting plate 52 provided on the card lifting seat 51, and a driving assembly for driving the card supporting plate 52 to rise and fall. The drive assembly includes a lift motor and a lift belt 54 connected to the lift motor output and positioned by a pulley; the end part of the card supporting plate 52 is provided with a base plate 55 which is connected to the lifting belt 54; in use, the driving motor drives the lifting belt 54 to operate, so as to drive the card supporting plate 52 to move. However, in further production practice, it has been found that the connection between the base plate 55 and the lifting belt 54 is a face connection, and when the card supporting plate 52 is lifted to the highest position or lowered to the lowest position, the lifting belt 54 at the two positions is an arc-shaped face rather than a vertical face due to the positioning of the pulleys, so that the card supporting plate 52 cannot be moved to the theoretically ideal highest position or lowest position (mainly, there is a problem that the angle of the card supporting plate 52 is changed and the connection face is easily stretched). In order to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks, in this embodiment, the lifting belt 54 is not an integral closed endless belt, both ends of the lifting belt 54 are respectively provided with a first tongue 541 and a second tongue 542 extending outwards in the belt direction, the first tongue 541 and the second tongue 542 are integrally formed with the belt body of the lifting belt 54 and have a smaller width than the belt body, preferably, the first tongue 541 and the second tongue 542 are in complementary shapes, and the sum of the widths of the first tongue 541 and the second tongue 542 is equal to the belt body width of the lifting belt 54, so that the lifting belt 54 adopted in this scheme can be obtained by cutting the whole conventional integral closed lifting belt 54 as required. Further, the first tongue 541 of the lifting belt 54 is led down from above the base plate 55, and the tongue end thereof is fixedly connected to the lower end of the base plate 55, the second tongue 542 of the lifting belt 54 is led up from below the base plate 55, and the tongue end thereof is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base plate 55, that is, the first tongue 541 and the second tongue 542 of the lifting belt 54 are respectively connected to the base plate 55, so as to ensure the connection strength between the lifting belt 54 and the base plate 55. Further, since the connection ends between the first tongue 541, the second tongue 542 and the base 55 are relatively independent, the base 55 will not rise to the highest position or fall to the lowest position, and the inclination will occur, thereby overcoming the problem that the card supporting plate 52 cannot be lifted to the highest position or lowered to the lowest position in the prior art. As shown in fig. 32, when the lifting belt 54 pulls the card supporting plate 52 upward, the tongue end of the first tongue 541 is used as a connection force application end, and the tongue end of the first tongue 541 is connected to the lower end of the base plate 55, so that the card supporting plate 52 can be lifted to the highest position; as shown in fig. 33, when the lifting belt 54 pulls the card supporting plate 52 downward, the tongue end of the second tongue 542 serves as a connection urging end, and the tongue end of the second tongue 542 is connected to the lower end of the base plate 55, so that the card supporting plate 52 can be lifted to the lowest position.
