Poker machine and method for finishing playing cards

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of poker machines, and in particular, to a poker machine and a method for organizing playing cards.

Background technique

[0002] Poker is a kind of entertainment item that people love. After playing a round of cards, players need to manage cards, shuffle cards, and deal cards themselves. In order to save the time of licensing, people invented the automatic card issuing machine to issue cards. For example, the patent document with publication number CN201164714Y discloses a four-port playing card dealer with a card shuffling cavity, which is installed in the center of the card shuffling cavity. The shuffling differential driven by the shuffling motor has four conveyor belts evenly distributed around its periphery. The conveyor belt is driven by the conveyor motor. Each conveyor belt is equipped with a deck wheel on one side and the other. A stopper matched with the licensing wheel, a spiral lever is installed on the licensing wheel, and a counting optical eye is installed on the output end of the licensing mechanism. When the dealer is in use, the messy cards are placed face down into the shuffle chamber, and are issued from the four outlets through the shuffle differential, the deck wheel, and the dealer mechanism. Although the dealer basically completes the shuffling and dealing of cards, it still cannot avoid the player's need to gather, organize, and flip the front and back sides of different playing cards, resulting in high labor intensity and long waiting time in the game.

[0003] The patent document with the publication number CN102580307A discloses a fully automatic poker machine, which includes a mounting base plate and a plurality of support legs provided at the bottom of the mounting base plate; The card slot into which playing cards are placed, the shuffle and first card splitting device for separating the messy playing cards for the first time at one end of the card slot, and the poker card for setting at the other end of the shuffle and initial card splitting equipment Adjust the same direction and separate the single-card straight and second card splitting equipment; set at the other end of the straight and second card splitting equipment to adjust the single-faced poker to the same direction and according to the regulations Card flopping and card-issuing equipment; card-pushing equipment installed at the other end of the card-playing equipment for moving cards; card-elevating equipment on the side of the card-pushing equipment to raise playing cards to the table device. Among them, the shuffling and initial card splitting equipment realizes the initial card splitting (separating the playing cards into a few cards) through the different speeds of the card entry belt and the card splitting belt, and the smooth card and second card splitting equipment are transported through the second card splitting belt Playing cards and through the straight belt on both sides and auxiliary straight belt to achieve straight cards (adjust the playing cards to the same direction, that is, card management)

, The flop equipment realizes the flop through the flop board and three flop belts with concave design (turn the poker card Go to the desired face), the licensing equipment realizes random licensing (ie shuffle and deal cards) through the cooperation of the licensing belt and the licensing lever, and the issued playing cards fall directly on the push card panel and then are pushed up by the push lever On the card panel, the playing card is promoted to the table top of the card table by the card-up device.

[0004] Although the above poker machine basically realizes the actions such as card handling, shuffling, and dealing of poker cards, it has the following problems due to its structural limitations:

[0005] 1. The gap between the conveyor belt and the peripheral wall is easy to be embedded in the playing cards, which is likely to cause damage to the playing cards, jamming or equipment failure;

[0006] 2. The playing cards are laid flat on the conveying belt, and the playing cards are turned on the horizontal plane to adjust the orientation through the opposite movement of the belts on both sides, so as to achieve the purpose of horizontal card management, which is easy to cause the playing cards to float, It is stuck between the two sides of the shun brand belts or even the playing cards are damaged or embedded in the belt gap, and the conveyor belt has high requirements on the speed and length of the conveyor belt, resulting in low efficiency of card management;

[0007] 3. The flop board and three flop belts are used to achieve the flop, which has the disadvantages of unstable flop and low flop efficiency, and also has the disadvantage of playing cards stuck in the gap of the belt;

[0008] 4. The use of a dealer belt and a straight line to arrange multiple dealer outlets has the disadvantages of unstable dealership and low dealership efficiency, and the playing cards of multiple cards rise in the same position, which is inconvenient for players to take cards There is also the possibility of cheating.

[0009] The patent document with publication number CN103055499A discloses a fully automatic poker machine, including: a card entry frame for placing playing cards, and a card delivery mechanism for conveying playing cards at the bottom of the card entry frame; A card slot for placing playing cards in an upright position, and at least two card handling parts capable of relative movement so as to be able to toggle the playing card to move out of the card slot in a lengthwise manner are arranged in the card slot; A vertical card transfer device for standing playing cards placed in the card slot in the card entry frame; a card flip device for flipping the front and back sides of the card, the card flip device is installed at the exit side of the card slot; A card issuing device for randomly sending playing cards to a plurality of receiving boxes behind the flopping device; a plurality of card rising devices for respectively raising the playing cards in each card receiving box to the table. The poker machine uses ordinary playing cards and adopts the vertical card management method, which greatly improves the accuracy and efficiency of card management. However, the poker machine has many parts and devices, and the manufacturing cost is high.

[0010] The patent document with the publication number CN105854274A discloses a poker machine and a method for sorting playing cards, omitting the card handling device and the vertical card transfer device, by providing a card outlet mechanism at the card outlet of the existing card entry frame, The card issuing mechanism sends out a single playing card to the flop device for turning over and dealt cards, which can sort out the cards into a stack The playing cards are separated, turned, shuffled and dealt, with high shuffling efficiency, good reliability and low machine manufacturing cost. However, the flopping device of the poker machine can only send one mahjong card to the flopping box for identification, flipping and sending starting cards. The flopping efficiency is low, and the turning noise of the flopping box is large and the motor load is large. Complex structure and poor stability. In addition, the poker machine has a loose structure, large volume, and low installation efficiency. Summary of the invention

The bottom of the card storage box 41 is provided with a detection sensor 4101 for detecting whether there is a playing card and a device for pushing the playing card to the card issuing device 42. The card-feeding wheel 4201 of the card entry channel, the card storage box 41 is close to the card-issuing device 42. A side wall of the card entry channel is formed with a card board 4105. The card board 4105 is provided with a number of card entry ribs 4104, card entry Below the protruding edge 4104, a split wheel 4202 of the card issuing device 42 is provided. A plurality of card entry protrusions 4102 are formed on the bottom inner wall of the card storage box 41 between the card delivery wheel 4201 and the split card wheel 4202. A card entry channel 4103 of the card-issuing device 42 is formed between the card 4102 and the card entry rib 4104. In this way, the concave-convex matching card entry channel helps to squeeze and separate multiple overlapping playing cards. Further preferably, a plurality of card entry protrusions 4102 and a plurality of card entry protrusions 4104 are alternately arranged to obtain a better card separation effect.

[0074] The card issuing device 42 includes a card dividing mechanism, a conveying mechanism, and a flopping mechanism. The channels used for playing cards in the card issuing device 42 include a card entry channel 4103, a conveying channel, a flop channel 4224, and a first card exit channel. 4208 and the second flop channel 4213, a flop component 4209 for opening or closing the flop channel 4 224 or the exit of the first flop channel 4208 is provided near the first flop channel 4208, when the flop component 4209 closes the flop When the channel 42 24 or the first card exit channel 4208 is opened, the card entry channel 4103, the conveying channel, and the first card exit channel 4 208 are connected in sequence, when the flop component 4209 opens the flop channel 4224 and closes the first card exit channel 4208 When exiting, the card entry channel 4103, the conveying channel, the first card exit channel 4208 flop channel 4224 and the second card exit channel 4213 are connected in sequence. The card dividing mechanism is installed at the card entry channel of the card issuing device 42, the conveying mechanism is installed at the position of the conveying channel, and the flopping mechanism is installed between the first card exit channel 4208 and the second card exit channel 4213. [0075] The card splitting mechanism may adopt various card splitting structures disclosed in CN108525278A, CN105854274A and other series of patent documents, but these card splitting structures can better separate the incoming playing cards to ensure the passing of single cards, but it is difficult to let The playing cards that have entered the conveying channel exit from the entering channel (retreat), so that once the subsequent sensor detects that the two playing cards overlap, it is necessary to notify the player of the withdrawal of the playing card for re-separation. In order to overcome this technical problem, in this embodiment, the card splitting mechanism preferably has the following structure:

[0076] As shown in FIGS. 9 to 12, including a baffle board 4105, a card delivery wheel 4201, a split card wheel 4202, and a split card pressure wheel 4222, used to push playing cards to the card issuing device 42 into the card channel The card delivery wheel 4201 is installed at the bottom of the card storage box 41, and the bottom plate 4105 is provided with a sub-plate pressing wheel 4222, and a sub-plate pressing wheel 4222 is provided with a sub-plate wheel 4202, which is driven by a licensing motor to rotate The pressing wheel 4222 realizes that the card can be rotated without entering and not returning through the one-way clutch mechanism. In this way, not only can the fast and effective card splitting effect be achieved during card entry, but also when the card needs to be retired, the card splitting roller 4222 can cooperate with the card splitting wheel 4202 to reverse the card to achieve fast and reliable card retreat and avoid the difficulty of card retreat. Further preferably, the design of the split platen pressure wheel 4222 and the split plate wheel 4202 are misaligned and overlapped vertically (ie, the axis of the split platen pressure wheel 4222 and the axis of the split plate wheel 4202 are offset by a horizontal distance and the axis of the split pressure wheel 4222 is more than the axis of the score plate wheel 4202 Close to the storage space of the card storage box 41, the bottom of the sub-roller 4222 is lower than the highest part of the sub-roller 4202), so that when the gap between the sub-roller 4222 and the sub-roller 4202 enters multiple cards When playing cards, the entry end of the playing cards will be lifted, so that the upper and lower two playing cards are shifted to avoid the electrostatic bonding of the upper and lower two playing cards cannot be separated, because the point pressing wheel 4222 cannot be rotated by the one-way clutch mechanism. In this way, the static friction between the split 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 transmission power of the playing cards comes from the dividing wheel 4202, which is exerted on the following playing cards So, the following playing cards are transported and continue to move forward, the upper playing cards are temporarily stuck, the upper and lower playing cards are separated, the separation speed is fast, the structure is simple, Easy care, high accuracy.

[0077] In order to further improve the card splitting effect of the above card splitting mechanism, a number of card entry ribs 4104 are provided at the bottom of the fender 4105 on the inner wall of the bottom of the card storage box 41 between the card sending wheel 4201 and the card splitting wheel 4202 There are a number of entry card protrusions 4102, and the entry card ridges 4104 are closer to the score card pressing wheel 4222 than the entry card protrusions 4102, so that the entry card protrusions 4102, the entry card ridges 4104, and the score card wheel 4202 The card entry channel 4103 of the card-issuing device 42 is formed between the card entry channel 4103. The card entry channel 4103 has two ends (the card entry protrusion 4102 and the split card wheel 4202). The concave structure of the bottom, such that the concave and convex matching entry channel helps to squeeze and separate the overlapping multiple playing cards, ensuring that the multiple playing cards entering the position of the dividing wheel 4202 and the dividing card pressing wheel 4222 are separated back and forth. In the evening, because the card entry protrusion 4102 will push the playing cards in the card storage box 41 out of the card entry channel 4103, when the cards are withdrawn, the playing cards exiting from the card entry channel will be inserted in the card storage box 41 Under the playing cards inside, to avoid the difficulty of pushing cards due to the match between the two playing cards. Further preferably, a plurality of card entry protrusions 4102 and a plurality of card entry protrusions 4104 are alternately arranged to obtain a better card separation effect.

[0078] In this embodiment, one side of the card sending wheel 4201 is protruded and formed with arc-shaped serrations, so that the playing card can be pushed upward and forward during the rotation of the card sending wheel 4201, so that the playing card can be better crossed The card entry protrusion 4102, in addition, this action can also prevent the front and back playing cards from being stuck when the card issuing device withdraws the cards. The split card pressing roller 4 222 is passively rotated in one direction. For easy adjustment, the split card pressing roller 4222 is installed on the bottom of the baffle plate 4105 through an elastic pressing mechanism. The elastic pressing mechanism is a compression spring and a jack 4221, unidirectional The clutch mechanism is a one-way clutch mounted on the shaft of the split platen roller 4222. The sub-plate wheel, the card-feeding wheel and the sub-plate pressing wheel are several components, each of which may be a roller part or may be composed of multiple wheel-shaped parts mounted on the same shaft, for example, as shown in the figure 16. As shown in FIG. 17, each split card 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-shaped rubber saw teeth of the rubber ring, the outer circumference of the arc-shaped rubber saw teeth of the rubber ring is lower than the circumference of the side wall of the support frame, so that when the arc-shaped rubber saw teeth of the dividing wheel comes into contact with the playing cards, the friction is greater and it is easier to drive the poker Card movement, when the circumference of the side wall of the support frame of the split wheel is in contact with the playing cards, the friction force is small and it is difficult to drive the playing cards to move. The gap-driven driving card movement helps to separate the two playing cards. There are four sub-plate wheels 4202 installed on the same sub-plate wheel shaft 42021, the card entry ribs 4104 at the bottom of the baffle plate 4105 and the sub-plate pressing wheel 4222 and the four sub-plate wheels 4202 are alternately arranged up and down, so that it is easy to adjust Clearance to achieve fast and effective card division. The card-feeding axle 42011 of the card-feeding wheel 4201 and the card-spinning axle 42021 of the card-spinning wheel 4202 are connected by a card drive belt 4228, so as to realize the coordinated rotation of the card-feeding wheel 4201 and the card-spinning wheel 4202, so as to improve the efficiency of card splitting Split card effect.

[0079] As shown in FIGS. 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 conveying top wall 4218 installed on the conveying channel The first conveying pressure wheel 4219 and the second conveying pressure wheel 4217, the first conveying pressure wheel 4219 cooperates up and down with the first conveying wheel 4203, the second conveying pressure wheel 4217 cooperates up and down with the second conveying wheel 4205, the first conveying pressure wheel 4219 with The second conveying pressure wheel 4217 is a driven wheel, the first conveying wheel 4203 and the second conveying wheel 4205 are driving wheels, and a rubber ring is sleeved to increase friction. The first conveying wheel shaft 42021 of the first conveying wheel 4203, the second conveying wheel The second conveying axle 42051 of the wheel 4205, the split axle 42021 of the split wheel 4202 and the licensing motor shaft 42201 of the licensing motor 4220 are connected by a licensing transmission belt 4225, and the licensing transmission belt 4225 is tensioned by a tensioning wheel 42 26. In this way, synchronized movements of card entry, card division and conveying are realized. The first conveying wheel 4203, the second conveying wheel 4205, the first conveying pressure wheel 4219, and the second conveying pressure wheel 4217 can be a top-to-bottom compression fit or a staggered up-to-down fit, each part It can be a single roller part, or it can be composed of multiple wheel-shaped parts mounted on the same shaft.

[0080] As shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 19, the conveying channel of the above-mentioned card dispenser is provided with an identification element for identifying the front and back sides of the playing cards and a plurality of detecting elements for detecting the playing cards.

[0081] Regarding the identification of the front and back of the playing cards in the conveyor 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 continuous pattern of the four sides of each position has a high degree of coincidence. According to these The degree of coincidence of the graphics in the photo determines whether it is the front or back of the playing card. Another method is to identify the front and back of the playing card by distinguishing the character pattern on the diagonal diagonal fixed position of the playing card according to the character of the fixed position on the diagonal diagonal front of the playing card, such as Kou Yongjun A master's thesis titled "Application Research of Image Recognition on Dealer" published in the journal of Hunan University in 2007 Another method is to print magnetic ink on 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.

[0082] Regarding the identification of whether the playing cards in the conveying channel overlap: One method is to detect the length of playing cards. When the detecting element detects that the length of playing cards in the conveying channel is longer than the normal length, it can be determined that there are multiple playing cards overlapping. 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 transmission channel or the first card output channel is greater than the normal thickness, it can be determined that there are multiple pucks overlapping. One or more methods can be used in the same licensing device.

[0083] When it is recognized that the playing cards in the conveying channel do not need to be turned over, the flop mechanism will directly issue the playing cards; when it is recognized that the playing cards in the conveying channel need to be turned, the flop mechanism will issue the playing cards after turning over . When it is recognized that the playing cards need to be withdrawn from the dealing device, the dealing motor 4220 drives the first conveying wheel 4203, the second conveying wheel 4205, the dividing wheel 4202, and the delivering wheel 4201 to reverse the cards. Can be used in the same licensing device One or more methods.

[0084] The present invention recognizes the front and back of playing cards in the conveying channel, and flips the playing cards in the flop channel. The two steps do not affect each other, and can continuously flop and deal cards, greatly improving the flop Efficiency and licensing efficiency

[0085] As shown in FIG. 13, in this embodiment, the identification elements for identifying the front and back sides of the playing cards are a camera 4238, and the camera 4238 and a detection sensor for detecting the playing cards in place are fixed to the transport bottom wall 4204 of the transport channel Or on the transport top wall 4218, when the detection sensor detects the playing cards, the camera is simultaneously or delayed to enable the camera to shoot the pattern information at the diagonally fixed position of the playing cards in the transport channel, so that the controller can The pattern information identifies the front and back of the playing card, such as when it is recognized as a character pattern, it is determined to be the front.

[0086] In order to ensure that the camera can start in time and take a panoramic view of the character patterns on the playing cards, it is preferable to set as follows:

[0087] In the first case, the playing cards are conveyed forward along the width side in the card issuing device (that is, the width of the conveying 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 + lmm <B <playing card width + 5mm.

[0088] The value range of the vertical distance M of the center of the lens of the camera from the left or right side wall of the adjacent transport channel is: The vertical distance of the character pattern of the playing card from its near side edge <M <of the playing card The vertical distance of the character pattern from its proximal side edge is + 5_.

[0089] The value range of the vertical distance H of the center of the camera lens from the playing cards in the conveying channel is: 10mm <H <15mm.

[0090] With commonly used playing cards (Bridge

Size 8.8cm long 5.7cm wide) For example, 58mm <B <62mm, 6mm <M <12mm.

[0091] In the second case, the playing cards are conveyed forward along the length in the card issuing device (that is, the width of the conveying 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 + lmm <B <playing card length + 5mm.

[0092] The value range of the vertical distance M between the center of the lens of the camera and the left or right side wall of the adjacent transport channel is: the vertical distance of the character pattern of the playing card from its near side edge <M <of the playing card The vertical distance of the character pattern from its proximal side edge is + 5_. [0093] The value range of the vertical distance H of the center of the camera lens from the playing cards in the conveying channel is: 10mm <H <15mm.

[0094] With commonly used playing cards (Bridge

Size length 8.8cm width 5.7cm) as an example, 89mm <B <93mm, 6mm <M <12mm.

[0095] In other embodiments, the specific conveying method, speed and direction can also be used to make the playing cards in the conveying channel closer to the side of the left or right side, so that the width of the conveying channel will not Affecting the setting of the camera, it only needs to be limited: The vertical distance M of the camera lens center distance from the left or right side wall of the adjacent conveying channel is within the range of: the vertical distance of the character pattern of the playing card from its near side edge <M <The vertical distance of the character pattern of the playing card from its proximal side edge is + 5mm. Taking the commonly used playing cards (Bridge Size 8.8cm long and 5.7cm wide) as an example, the vertical distance H of the 6mm <M <12mm _° camera lens center from the playing channel in the conveying channel ranges from 10mm <H <15mm.

[0096] In this way, it is not only possible to avoid unnecessary rubbing obstruction between the playing cards and the side wall of the conveying channel, but also to ensure that the camera can still capture a panoramic view of the position of the playing card characters when the puck is inclined in the conveying channel.

[0097] In addition, in order to avoid or reduce the influence of uncertain factors such as the advance speed of playing cards in the conveying channel, it is preferable to arrange the detection sensor for detecting the playing cards in place and the camera 4238 adjacent to each other, so that the detection sensor detects poker The camera starts immediately after the card is in place to capture a panoramic view of the character positions of the playing cards. In other embodiments, it may also be preferable to provide two cameras in the conveyor channel, these two cameras are respectively close to the left side wall and the right side wall of the conveyor channel, and the multiple cameras are used to capture and identify to improve the accuracy of the identification of the front and back of the playing card Sex and recognition efficiency.

[0098] It should be noted that the width of the conveying channel refers to the effective width in which the playing cards can be conveyed in the conveying channel, and the left or right side wall of the conveying channel refers to the theoretical left side wall or the effective width of the effective width. The right side wall, in a feasible embodiment, the left side wall or the right side wall of the conveying channel may be a visible structure formed by a limiting member, a limiting structure, a shell wall surface, etc., or a non-visual structure but the fact Existing, for example, by controlling the conveying method, speed, direction, etc. of the conveying wheels / rollers to limit the reach of playing cards to a specific range within the conveying channel, the left and right boundaries of the specific range are regarded as the above conveying channel The left side wall or the right side wall.

[0099] As shown in FIG. 19, in this embodiment, the delivery top wall 4218 or the delivery bottom wall 4204 of the delivery channel The first sensor 4235, the second sensor 4236 and the third sensor 4237 are installed in sequence along the direction of playing cards. The first sensor 4235 and the third sensor 4237 cooperate to detect the length and distance covered by the playing cards in the conveying channel to determine whether There is a state where multiple playing cards overlap. If the first sensor 4 235 and the third sensor 4237 are blocked at the same time (playing cards are detected), it is determined that there are two partially overlapping playing cards entering the conveying channel, and the dealer motor 4220 will reverse The playing cards are returned to the card storage box 41 and the cards are re-entered.

[0100] For the case where the playing cards are conveyed forward along the width side in the card issuing device (that is, the width of the conveying channel is close to the width of the playing cards), the distance between the first sensor 4235 and the third sensor 4237 is greater than that of playing cards 2mm-3mm longer.

[0101] For the case where the playing cards are conveyed forward along the length side in the dealing device (that is, the width of the conveying channel is close to the length of the playing cards), the distance between the first sensor 4235 and the third sensor 4237 is greater than that of playing cards 2mm-3mm wider.

[0102] The second sensor 4236 is disposed between the first sensor 4235 and the third sensor 4237, and when it is blocked (detecting playing cards), the flop motor 4230 is activated as required 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 multiple playing cards that partially overlap. In this embodiment, the first sensor 4235, the second sensor 4236, and the third sensor 4 237 are all photoelectric sensor modules.

[0103] In this way, after the single playing card separated by the card dividing mechanism, after the first sensor, the camera takes a picture 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 the playing cards. If the first sensor is blocked until the third sensor is blocked at the same time (that is, the playing cards are continuously detected), it means that there are two playing cards partially overlapping into the conveying channel, the dealer motor starts to reverse, and will enter the walking channel. The playing cards are returned to the storage card box to re-separate the cards, so as to ensure the accuracy of the number of cards dealt.

[0104] The image recognition method is used to identify the front and back of the playing cards. Due to the uncertainty of the back pattern of the playing cards, there is a problem of recognition errors. Therefore, it is preferable to use the learning mode to identify the front and back of the poker. In this way, the learning mode can be set by Recognize and study the playing cards put into the poker machine to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the poker machine to recognize the playing cards.

[0105] The learning mode may be an automatic coding or a convolutional neural network. Neural networks do not require mathematical models, In fact, it is to take a feature pattern for comparison, and if it matches, activate the comparison of other positions or the entire image. This mode requires a lot of memory and a powerful CPU. Therefore, it is preferable to adopt the learning mode of deep automatic coding, that is, first formulate 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 match the feature code Make corrections.

[0106] In this embodiment, the method of learning the pattern to identify the front and back of the poker is to sample the reverse pattern or the character pattern of the front of multiple playing cards to generate a feature code, save the feature code, and then use the feature code to match The compared patterns are used to identify the front and back of poker.

[0107] The preferred implementation mode is that the poker machine is provided with a learning mode and a card playing mode: In the learning mode, a plurality of playing cards (for example, a card with a uniform front and back sides) are placed in a unified manner, face down or face down New playing cards), the poker machine samples the reverse pattern or the front character pattern of multiple playing cards to generate a feature code, and saves the feature code; in the playing mode, the poker machine obtains the reverse pattern or the front character of these playing cards Pattern, and use this feature code to match the pattern to be compared, used to identify the front and back of the poker, according to the recognition result, control whether the flop mechanism flips the poker card.

[0128] 3. In this embodiment, the player picks the card from the card receiving position of the card receiving seat by himself, therefore, the card pushing driving mechanism on the card receiving seat is omitted.

[0129] The other structure is basically the same as that in Embodiment 1, and the specific description is as follows:

[0130] As shown in FIG. 27, FIG. 28 and FIG. 29, a poker machine includes: a base 1, a card receiving seat 2 and a card dispenser, the base 1 and the card receiving seat 2 are combined by a fixed connection or an integral molding method The card dealer is installed in the center of the card holder 2 and is driven to rotate relative to the card holder 2 by a rotary drive mechanism. The card dealer includes a card storage box 41 and a card issuing device. Card receiving positions. The top of the card receiving seat 2 is provided with a panel 3, and a hole for placing cards is opened on the panel 3. The door 31 and its driving mechanism are installed on the hole for placing cards, and a card storage box 41 is provided below the hole for placing cards.

[0131] In this embodiment, a key is provided on the panel 3, which is used to control actions such as booting and dealing cards. When playing cards, the player may set playing rules on the control panel. The poker machine deals cards to each player according to the set playing rules When dealing cards, each player's playing card is driven by the rotation drive mechanism to rotate the dealer randomly and deal cards randomly according to the number of cards set by the player to the receiving position of each party on the receiving seat. The bin door 31 and its driving mechanism are installed on the panel 3. The warehouse door plate 31 and its driving mechanism can refer to various structures disclosed in a series of patent documents such as CN103157272 and CN1085 25278.

[0132] In this embodiment, the panel 3 is fixed on the top of the card receiving seat 2, the card receiving seat 2 is fixed above the base 1, a plurality of card receiving positions 200 are provided around the card receiving seat 2, the bottom of the card receiving position 200 is outside A card notch 2001 is provided for facilitating the player to take cards, and the upper outer portion of the card receiving position 200 is provided with a card blocking member 2002 for preventing the playing card from falling out of the card receiving position when the card is dealt. The card dispenser is installed in the center of the card receiving seat, and a plurality of card receiving positions on the card receiving seat 2 are arranged around the card dispenser.

[0133] As shown in FIG. 28, FIG. 29, FIG. 30, and FIG. 31, the card dealer is fixed on the card holder 4, the card holder 4 is rotatably installed at the center of the upper part of the card holder 2 and is driven by a rotary drive mechanism For rotation, the rotation driving mechanism includes a rotary motor 203 mounted on the card holder 4, and the rotary motor 203 meshes with the ring-shaped internal gear 103 on the base 1 through a gear to drive the card holder 4 to rotate. A ring 40 is fixed above the dealer seat.

[0134] As shown in FIG. 30, FIG. 31, FIG. 32, and FIG. 33, the card dealer includes a card storage box 41 and a card distribution device, and the card storage box 41 and the card distribution device are located on the left and right sides of the card holder 4, respectively. The bottom side of the card storage box 41 is in communication with the card entry channel of the card issuing device. In this embodiment, the card storage box is used to place and arrange the stacked playing cards. The bottom of the card storage box 41 is provided with a detection sensor for detecting whether there is a playing card and a device for pushing the playing card to the card issuing device The card-feeding wheel 4201 of the card entry channel, a side wall of the card storage box 41 close to the card entry channel of the card-issuing device is formed with a card board, the card board is provided with a number of card-entry ribs, and the card-entry ribs are below A card dividing wheel 4202 provided with a card issuing device is formed with a plurality of card entry protrusions on the inner wall of the bottom of the card storage box 41 between the card delivery wheel 4201 and the card entry wheel 4202, so that these card entry protrusions and card entry protrusions The card entry channels of the card-issuing device are formed between them, so that the concave-convex matching card entry channels help to squeeze and separate multiple overlapping playing cards. It is further preferred that a plurality of card entry protrusions and a plurality of card entry protrusions are alternately arranged to obtain a better card separation effect.

[0135] The card issuing device includes a card dividing mechanism and a conveying mechanism. The channels used for playing cards in the card issuing device include sequentially connected card entry channels, conveying channels, and first card exit channels. The licensing mechanism is installed at the card entry channel of the licensing device, and the conveyor mechanism is installed at the conveyor channel location.

[0136] The card splitting mechanism can adopt various card splitting structures disclosed in CN108525278A, CN105854274A and other series of patent documents, but these card splitting structures can better separate the playing cards to ensure a single card Passing, but it is difficult to make the playing cards that have entered the conveying channel exit from the entering channel (retreat), so that once the subsequent sensor detects that the two playing cards overlap, it is necessary to send out the playing card exit notification to re-divide the card. The problem of difficulty in retiring. In order to overcome this technical problem, in this embodiment, the card dividing mechanism, including a baffle board, a card sending wheel 4201, a card dividing wheel 4202, and a card pressing wheel 4222, is used to push playing cards to the card entry channel of the card issuing device The card delivery wheel 4201 is installed at the bottom of the card storage box 41, and a sub-platen pressure wheel 4222 is provided at the bottom of the shield plate 4105, and a sub-platen wheel 4202 is provided below the sub-platen pressure wheel 4222. The card pressing wheel 4222 realizes that the card can be rotated without being rotated while being withdrawn through the one-way clutch mechanism. In this way, not only can fast and effective card splitting be achieved during card entry, but also when the card needs to be retired, the card splitter wheel 4222 can cooperate with the card splitter wheel 4202 to reverse quickly and reliably to avoid card retreat. Further preferably, the split press roller 4222 and the split card wheel 4202 are misaligned and overlapped up and down (ie, the split card pressure wheel 4 222 and the axis of the split card wheel 4202 are offset by a horizontal distance and the split card pressure wheel 4222 is more than the axis of the score card wheel 4202 Closer to the card storage space of the card storage box 41, the bottom of the sub-roller 4222 is lower than the top of the sub-roll 4202)

In this way, when the gap between the split press wheel and the split wheel enters multiple playing cards, the entry end of the playing card will be lifted, causing the upper and lower two playing cards to shift, thereby avoiding the electrostatic sticking of the upper and lower playing cards The clutch cannot be separated, because the split card pressure roller cannot be rotated under the control of the one-way clutch mechanism, so that the static friction between the split card pressure roller and the upper playing card is much greater than the friction between the upper and lower two playing cards, and the playing card The transmission power comes from the split wheel, which is applied to the playing cards below. Therefore, the playing cards below are transported to continue to move forward. The playing cards above are temporarily stuck, and the upper and lower playing cards are separated. The separation speed is fast. , Simple structure, easy maintenance and high accuracy.

[0137] In order to further improve the card division effect of the above card division mechanism, a number of card entry ribs are provided on the bottom of the baffle board, and a number of card entries are formed on the inner wall of the bottom of the card storage box between the card delivery wheel and the card separation wheel The card bulge, the card entry rib is closer to the score card pressing wheel than the card entry ridge, so that a card entry channel of the card-issuing device is formed between the card entry ridge, the card entry rib and the card wheel. The card channel has two ends (protruding card protrusion and split card wheel). The concave structure in the middle is raised, so that the concave and convex matching card input channel helps to squeeze and separate multiple overlapping playing cards, ensuring entry to the split card wheel It is separated from the multiple playing cards in the position of the card pressing wheel. In addition, because the card entry protrusion will push the playing card in the storage box out of the card entry channel, when the card is withdrawn, from the card entry channel The withdrawn playing cards will be inserted under the playing cards in the card storage box 41 to avoid the difficulty of pushing cards due to the collision of the two playing cards. Further preferably, a plurality of card entry protrusions and a plurality of card entry protrusions are alternately arranged , To get better separation effect of shuffling.

[0138] In this embodiment, one side of the card delivery wheel 4201 is convexly formed with curved serrations, so that during the rotation of the card delivery wheel 4201, the playing cards can be pushed up and forward, so that the playing cards can be better crossed The card entry protrusion 4102, in addition, this action can also prevent the front and back playing cards from being stuck when the card issuing device withdraws the cards. The split card pressing wheel 4 222 is passively rotated in one direction. For easy adjustment, the split card pressing wheel 4222 is installed at the bottom of the baffle plate through an elastic pressing mechanism. The elastic pressing mechanism is a compression spring and a jack, and a one-way clutch mechanism It is a one-way clutch installed on the shaft of the sub-platen pressure roller. The sub-plate wheel, the card-feeding wheel and the sub-plate pressure wheel are several components, each of which may be a roller-type component, or may be composed of multiple wheel-shaped components mounted on the same shaft, for example, each The split wheel includes a support frame with a certain rigid strength and a rubber ring sleeved and fixed on the support frame. Part of the arc circle of the rubber ring is a protruding arc-shaped rubber saw tooth for contact with playing cards, and the arc of the rubber ring The outer circumference of the rubber-shaped serrations is lower than the circumference of the side wall of the support frame. In this way, when the arc-shaped rubber serrations of the dividing wheel come into contact with the playing cards, the friction force is greater and it is easier to drive the playing cards to move. When the circumference of the side wall is in contact with the playing cards, the frictional force is small and it is difficult to drive the playing cards. The gap-type driving of the playing cards helps to separate the two playing cards. There are four sub-plate wheels 4202 installed on the same sub-plate wheel shaft 42021, the card entry ribs at the bottom of the baffle plate and the sub-plate pressing wheel 4222 and the four sub-plate wheels 4202 are alternately arranged up and down, so that it is easy to adjust the vertical gap , In order to achieve fast and effective card division. The card-feeding axle 42011 of the card-feeding wheel 4201 and the card-spinning axle 42021 of the card-spinning wheel 4202 are connected through a driving belt, thereby achieving the coordinated rotation of the card-feeding wheel 4201 and the card-spinning wheel 4202 to improve the efficiency and points of the card Card effect.
