Description
本发明涉及一种卡片牌发牌机,特别是涉及扑克牌(但不是唯一的)的卡片牌发牌机。
卡片牌可用来做游戏或其它目的,但通常在使用前须彻底地“洗”牌,然后按特定方式发牌(或分牌)。这些牌流行于游戏,但以手工彻底“洗”牌和精确发牌既花费时间又需要技巧,这是相当令人厌烦的,并且在两次游戏之间还要停止游戏,等待较长时间。
GB2152018提出了一种卡片牌发牌机,以便在所有方向的不可预见的方向上分发游戏卡片牌,以让玩牌者看一眼,并且,若有利时,用带有吸杯的杆尽快地拾取。因此,这些牌会在任何不可预见的位置向任何不可预见的方向分发。
这种卡片牌发牌机有这样的问题,它不能将卡片牌分发到几个预定的位置而为一般的玩牌游戏(例如桥牌)迅速地形成各份。
本发明的目的在于提供一种改进了和卡片牌发牌机,它能解决上述问题。
依照本发明提供了一种卡片牌发牌机,该机包括:一个机身,机身内有存放一叠牌的放牌室;至少一个出牌口,通过该出牌口可将放牌室中存放的牌从机身分发出去;输送装置,设在机身内,用以将所存放的上述一叠牌中的一张牌向前输送到至少一个出牌口中;以及随机装置,以随机方式将牌一张张地通过上述至少一个出牌口分发,所述随机方式被设置成使至少一部分待分发的卡片牌一张张地通过上述至少一个出牌口,以位置的随机次序分发到环绕机身的多个预定位置上。
最好是,该发牌机还包括一对相互压靠的滚子,它们设在机身内的上述至少一个出牌口或每个出牌口的后面,以便可操纵地将上述输送装置输送到上述出牌口处的牌由相应的出牌口发出去。
在一个较佳实施例中,机身上有四个出牌口,并且上述随机装置被设置来控制上述输送装置,以便将上述一叠牌中的一张牌以随机方式输送到一个出牌口。
这四个出牌口最好围绕放牌室设置,据此,围绕该机身规定出四个相应的发牌位置。
在另一个较佳实施例中,机身有一个基座部分和一个可动部分,可动部分可相对于基座部分活动,在可动部分上设有一个单独的出牌口;而上述随装置设置成以随机方式控制该可动部分相对于基座部分活动到相应于上述位置的多个方位中的一个部位。
该机身的可动部分最好能围绕基座部分旋转到四个不同角度的方位上。
上述输送装置最好包括一个可动部件靠摩擦来衔接上述一叠牌中最上张或最下张牌,以便在其活动时输送这张牌。
上述输送装置最好还包括一个螺线管线圈或另设一个电动机以使可动部件运动。
有利的是,将上述输送装置设置在放牌室的一侧,将一弹性装置设置在放牌室的相对一侧,以推动放牌室内的上述一叠牌向前而到达上述输送装置中。
该发牌器最好还包括一个控制电路以使用户能以随机方式控制发牌。
最好是,该控制电路具有可预置上述位置个数的功能。
最好是,该控制电路具有能预置给每个位置发送牌的张数的功能。
以下仅以举例的方式结合附图更具体地描述本发明。
图1是本发明的卡片牌发牌机第一个实施例的透视图;
图2是图1所示卡片牌发牌机的剖视图;
图3是本发明的卡片牌发牌机第二个实施例的透视图;
图4是图3所示卡片牌发牌机的剖视图。
先参照图1和图2,图中示出本发明的发牌机的第一个实施例10。它包括一个立方体的机身11,该机身有一个机盖12和一个存放一叠卡片牌14(见图2)的放牌室13。放牌室13有一个底板15,该底板由设在底板与机身11的基壁之间的一个弹簧协同作用而弹性地向上偏置,借此,当机盖12关闭时,底板15就将这叠牌14推向机盖12。机身11的每个侧壁在与这叠牌14最上张牌相同的高度处有一个水平的缝隙17,在缝隙17的后面设有一对橡胶滚子18。每对滚子18在与缝隙18相同高度上平行地延伸并在轴向上相互压靠。所有四个下部的滚子18都由伞齿轮9啮合在一起,并且可由电动机19通过齿轮系20同时驱动,以便在相应的缝隙17的高度处向前转动。借助每对滚子的运转,置于滚子对之间的牌14′从后面通过相应的缝隙17而发到机身11的外面。
在机盖12的内部设有四个作动器22,每个作动器22都包括一个螺线管线圈23和一个与之相连的滑动头24。每个滑动头24都有一个橡胶的擒取部分25,擒取部分25通过缝隙26从机盖12的底壁向下突出,并且,借助于相连的螺线管线圈23,克服与之关联的、使滑动头24向内部位置偏置的一个弹簧(图中未示出)的作用,以小俯角从内部位置朝着相应的最近的缝隙17而可线性地滑动到外部位置。可以理解,擒取部分25在外部位置处要比在内部位置处伸出得更向下。
机盖12的底壁有四个悬垂的角柱27,当擒取部分25处于内部位置而不处在其外部位置时,角柱27伸出得比擒取部分25稍向下,以便借助角柱27使放牌室13内的这叠牌的最上张牌14与未起作用的作动器22分开。
一旦使特定的螺线管线圈23通电,相应的滑动头24就向外和向下移动,从而使其擒取部分25与最上张牌14接触,并靠摩擦与其衔接,借此将这张牌传输到相应的发牌滚子对18中。在传输中,作用在牌14上的每个滚子对的擒取摩擦力大到足以克服相应的工作中的作动器22的擒取部分的作用力。每个作动器22的工作时间长到足以能使传输中的牌14到达相应的滚子对18处,但也不可太长,以确保运行中的滑动头24能返回到其内部位置上或足以靠近该位置,以使其擒取部分25取走牌14而不受下一张牌14的干扰。
为了达到“洗”牌的效果,本发牌机10包括一个以微处理机为主的电路28,用以按随机的次序控制作动器22的工作。换句话说,即使牌14按特定的顺序堆叠并以这个次序一张张地发下去,但是发牌的方向或方位(机身11的四侧)也是预想不到的。
尽管作动器22运行按随机的次序,但电路28最终仍将保证(借助计数器)牌14是按要玩的卡片牌游戏的特定方式而分配的,例如桥牌要发成四份十三张牌。在玩扑克之类游戏的情况下,可以控制该发牌机10每次只发一张牌。分配方式可由使用者通过在机身11上的控制面板29预置。控制面板29有一个液晶显示器30和六个按钮31。使用者还能操作开启/关闭开关来开启或中断发牌机10的工作、来输入位置(游戏者)个数和去除“洗”牌功能。
图3和图4示出本发明发牌机的第二个实施例32,它包括一个机身33,机身33有一个机座部分34和机头部分35。机头部分35在基座部分34上面由一个步进电机36支持转动,并有一个机盖37和在机盖37下面的用以倾斜存放一叠牌39的放牌室38。在放牌室38的后侧设置一个楔形部件40,用弹簧52将其弹性地向前偏置,以向前推动这叠牌39使之靠着机盖37上的柱53上。
在机头部分35的前部内设有一个作动器41,该作动器除了含有一个有两个擒取部分42′以增强擒取牌的能力的滑动头42以外,基本上与发牌机10的作动器22相同并以相同的方式工作。
在机头部分35的前部下面,有一个水平的缝隙43,它位于与这叠牌39的顶部相同的平面上。一对发牌滚子44同样设置在这叠牌39的顶部与缝隙43之间的平面上。滚子对44可由电动机45通过齿轮系46驱动,电动机45固定在与作动器41相同的支座上,滚子对44是以与上文描述过的滚子对18相同的方式工作。
发牌机32包括一个以微处理机为主的控制电路47,用以借助步进电机36控制机头部分35相对于基座部分34的方位。机头部分35有四个可能的方位,亦即该基座部分34的前、后和两侧。机夹部分35可以按随机次序旋转到这四个不同的方位上,以不可预知的方式把牌39发到相应的位置上。
如图3所示,基座部分34上有一个控制面板48,其上设有一个液晶显示器49和六个按钮50,通过这些按钮使用者可以按上述发牌机10相同的方式控制控制电路47的工作,从而控制发牌机32的工作。
发牌机10和32两者都可由电池51供电或通过一个电源适配器由市电供电。
在使用中,不论是发牌机10还是发牌机32都可放在桌子的中央,如果有四个人玩,则发牌机的四个面朝着相应的四个游戏者。
可以想象,本发明的发牌机可以有一条轨道和沿这条轨道滑行的一个发牌单元,以便将一叠牌分发到一行内的多达四个或四个以上的不同位置,或者被设计得使牌是从底牌(即最下面一张牌)开始发。
现仅已举例方式描述了本发明,本技术领域中的技术人员可在不脱离所附权利要求书中所述的本发明范围的情况下对上述实施例做出各种其它的修改和/或变更。
