As shown in figures 1 to 4, by practice, the applicant provides a card shoe comprising a base 1, a card shoe 2, a sensor assembly 3 and an electronic control unit 4.

Wherein, the base 1 is provided with a horizontal rotating mechanism 11. The card dealing mechanism 2 is connected to the horizontal rotation mechanism 11, and is configured to be rotatable about an axis arranged in the vertical direction. The card dealing mechanism 2 comprises a rotator base 21, a first card dealing roller 22, a second card dealing roller 23 and a driving device 24, wherein a card storage bin 2a is arranged on the rotator base 21, a card outlet 2b is arranged on one side of the card storage bin 2a, and the first card dealing roller 22 is arranged in the horizontal direction and is rotatably installed in the card storage bin 2 a. The second dealing roller 23 is parallel to the first dealing roller 22, the second dealing roller 23 is rotatably installed at the card outlet 2b, a front roller wheel 231 is fixedly connected to the second dealing roller 23, and the front roller wheel 231 is coaxial with the second dealing roller 23. The card outlet 2b further has a stop plate 25 corresponding to the front roller 231, the stop plate 25 is vertically above the second card dealing roller 23, and the driving device 24 is installed on the rotating body base 21 and is in transmission connection with the first card dealing roller 22 and the second card dealing roller 23.

The sensor assembly 3 includes a distance sensor 31 and a count sensor 32, the distance sensor 31 being disposed at the bottom of the card storage compartment 2 a.

The electronic control unit 4, the horizontal rotation mechanism 11, the driving device 24, the distance sensor 31 and the counting sensor 32 are all electrically connected with the electronic control unit 4, and the electronic control unit 4 is configured to send control instructions to the horizontal rotation mechanism 11 and the driving device 24 based on sensing signals of the distance sensor 31 and the counting sensor 32 so as to drive the card dealing mechanism 2 to deal cards according to a preset frequency in the rotation process.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when it is required to automatically deal cards using the card dealing machine, a user may first put playing cards into the card storage 2a of the rotator base 21 while a lowermost one of the playing cards located in the card storage 2a abuts against the first card dealing roller 22. Then, by starting the card dispenser, the distance sensor 31 positioned at the bottom of the card storage bin 2a sends a sensing signal to the electronic control unit 4 after sensing that the playing cards are placed in the card storage bin 2 a. The electronic control unit 4 sends a control instruction to the driving device 24 after receiving the sensing signal of the distance sensor 31, drives the first card-dealing roller 22 to rotate, and the playing cards abutting against the first card-dealing roller 22 move towards the card outlet 2b under the rotation friction of the first card-dealing roller 22 and are loaded to the card outlet 2 b. When the playing card is loaded in place, the infrared light source of the counting sensor 32 is shielded, so that the counting sensor 32 generates level change and sends a sensing signal to the electronic control unit 4. Upon receiving the sensing signal from the count sensor 32, the electronic control unit 4 issues a control command to the horizontal rotation mechanism 11 to drive the entire card dealing mechanism 2 to rotate horizontally. Finally, after the rotation speed of the rotating body base 21 reaches a predetermined value, the electronic control unit 4 may send a control command to the driving device 24 again to drive the second card dealing roller 23 to rotate, so that the playing cards loaded to the card outlet 2b are sent out to the player from between the front roller 231 and the stop plate 25. When the playing cards pass through the second card dealing roller 23 and between the two stop plates 25, the stop plates 25 and the front rollers 231 on the second card dealing roller 23 can be abutted to the upper side end face and the lower side end face of the playing cards at the same time, the space gap distance of the playing cards passing through the card outlet is reduced, the friction force is improved, and therefore the situation that a plurality of playing cards are sent at one time is avoided. The electronic control unit 4 sends a control instruction to the horizontal rotation mechanism 11 and the driving device 24 based on the sensing signals of the distance sensor 31 and the counting sensor 32 so as to drive the card dealing mechanism 2 to continuously load and deal cards one at a time according to a preset frequency in the rotation process, only one card storage bin 2a is needed on the rotating body base 21, and the occupied space is small. And the rotation process does not need to be paused, the dealing efficiency is high, and the practicability is high.

Optionally, the second card dealing roller 23 has two front rollers 231 arranged at intervals, the card outlet 2b has two stop plates 25, the stop plates 25 are arc-shaped towards one end of the second card dealing roller 23, the arc tops of the two stop plates 25 are located between the two front rollers 231, and the distance between the plate surfaces of the two stop plates 25 is gradually increased in the card dealing direction. Illustratively, in the embodiment of the present invention, one end of the stop plate 25 facing the second card dealing roller 23 is configured to be arc-shaped, the arc top extends between the two front rollers 231, and the distance between the plate surfaces of the two stop plates 25 is gradually increased in the card dealing direction, that is, in the card dealing direction, the two stop plates 25 are configured to be in an out-toed structure. In the process that the playing cards move from the first card dealing roller 22 to the second card dealing roller 23 and the two stop plates 25, the playing cards can easily enter between the stop plates 25 and the front roller wheel 231 at first, along with continuous forward movement in the card dealing direction, the distance between the two stop plates 25 is increased, meanwhile, the upper end face of each playing card is gradually close to the arc top of the stop plates 25, the arc top of the front roller wheel 231, and the friction force between the playing cards and the stop plates 25 and the front roller wheel 231 is gradually increased and certain warping occurs. The change process of the deformation and the friction of the playing cards is a gradient change process which is changed from small to large, and plastic deformation caused by extrusion on the fixed part of the playing cards in the process of repeatedly using and dealing the playing cards is avoided. Even if there is the second tablet to push into the gap of first tablet and backstop board 25 and preceding running roller 231 to present simultaneously, the deformation volume of two tablets also has the difference with the frictional force that receives preceding running roller 231 and outwards play the tablet, can effectively make two tablets separate, avoids once sending many circumstances.

Figure 5 is a flow chart of a card dealing method provided by an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 5, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a card dealing method, where the card dealing method is implemented by using the high-efficiency card dealing machine shown in fig. 1 to 3, and the card dealing method includes the following specific steps:

s51, putting the playing cards into the card storage bin 2a from the upper part of the card dealing mechanism 2.

In this step, the card storage 2a for placing the playing cards is located at the top of the rotator base 21, and the user can load the playing cards by correspondingly placing the whole set of playing cards into the card storage 2a from above the card dealing mechanism 2.

S52, based on the sensing signal of the distance sensor 31, the electronic control unit 4 sends a first control command to the driving device 24 to drive the first card-dealing roller 22 to rotate to load the playing card into the card-outlet 2 b.

In this step, the playing cards are put into the card storage 2a of the rotator base 21, and at this time, the lowermost one of the playing cards located in the card storage 2a abuts against the first card-dealing roller 22 and the distance sensor 31. Then, by starting the card dispenser, the distance sensor 31 positioned at the bottom of the card storage bin 2a sends a sensing signal to the electronic control unit 4 after sensing that the playing cards are placed in the card storage bin 2 a. The electronic control unit 4 sends a first control instruction to the driving device 24 after receiving the sensing signal of the distance sensor 31, the driving device 24 drives the first card dealing roller 22 to rotate, and the playing cards abutting against the first card dealing roller 22 move towards the card outlet 2b under the rotation friction of the first card dealing roller 22 and are loaded to the card outlet 2 b.

In this step, for example, when the card shoe is first started, an initialization step is also performed before the loading step, and after the electronic control unit 4 is powered by a battery on the card shoe, the mobile control terminal 5, for example, a mobile phone, may be connected to the bluetooth module of the electronic control unit 4 through an application program and send a card-sending instruction. The embodiment of the present invention is exemplified by taking one of the game rules as an example, and the rotation speed of 4 players, 108 players and 8 players are left at 80us per step, where "step" means that the stepping motor on the main control circuit assembly of the electronic control unit 4 drives the stepping motor to send high and low level pulses every 80us, and the stepping motor will drive the rotating body base 21 to rotate by a corresponding angle through the horizontal rotating mechanism. Under the rule, 12000 steps are needed when the card dealing mechanism rotates one circle, namely 12000x80us turns 960ms, and about 26 seconds are needed when 4 cards are dealt one circle, namely 108 cards are dealt.

S53, based on the sensing signal of the counting sensor 32, the electronic control unit 4 sends a second control command to the horizontal rotation mechanism 11 to drive the rotation body base 21 to rotate at the first preset rotation speed.

In this step, when the playing card is loaded in place, the infrared light source of the counting sensor 32 is shielded, so that the counting sensor 32 generates a level change and sends a sensing signal to the electronic control unit 4. After receiving the sensing signal of the counting sensor 32, the electronic control unit 4 sends a second control instruction to the horizontal rotation mechanism 11 to drive the whole card dealing mechanism 2 to horizontally rotate at a first preset speed.

S54, when the rotation speed of the rotator base 21 reaches the first preset rotation speed, the electronic control unit 4 sends a third control command to the driving device 24 to drive the second card-dealing roller 23 to rotate to deal the playing card from the card-dealing port 2 b.

In this step, after the rotation speed of the rotator base 21 is accelerated to reach the first preset rotation speed, the electronic control unit 4 may send a control command to the driving device 24 again to drive the second card dealing roller 23 to rotate, so that the playing cards loaded in the card outlet 2b are dealt to the player by between the two front rollers 231 and the stopper plate 25.

S55, based on the sensing signal of the counting sensor 32, the electronic control unit 4 repeatedly sends the first control command and the third control command to the driving device 24 in sequence to deal the cards at a predetermined frequency.

In this step, when the dealing step of one card is completed, the playing card that shields the infrared light source of the counting sensor 32 disappears, so that the counting sensor 32 generates the level change again and sends a sensing signal to the electronic control unit 4. The electronic control unit judges that the dealing of one card is finished after receiving the induction signal. Then, by repeatedly sending the first control command and the third control command in sequence in the manner of steps S52 and S54, the loading and dealing of the playing cards can be continuously performed while the rotator base 21 rotates at the first preset rotation speed until the dealing of the whole deck of cards is completed. When the dealing method is adopted for dealing, the rotating body base 21 keeps rotating at a constant speed all the time in the dealing process, and does not need to pause midway, so that the dealing efficiency is improved.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the card dealing method may further include:

when the electronic control unit 4 sends a first control instruction to the driving device 24, and the counting sensor 4 does not sense that the playing cards are loaded to the card outlet 2b within a preset time,

if the playing card is the first card, the electronic control unit 4 is used for controlling the driving device 4 to stop and sending a first error signal to the user; alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

if the playing cards are not the first cards, the electronic control unit 4 is used for sending a fourth control instruction to the horizontal rotating mechanism 11 to drive the rotating body base 21 to decelerate according to the preset acceleration, when the rotating body base 21 decelerates from the first preset rotating speed to the second preset rotating speed, the counting sensor 4 does not sense that the playing cards are loaded to the card outlet 2b, the electronic control unit 4 is used for controlling the driving device 4 and the horizontal rotating mechanism 11 to stop, and a second error signal is sent to the user.

In this step, after the electronic control unit 4 issues the first control command to the driving means 24, that is, while the loading step of moving the playing cards from the magazine 2a to the card outlet 2b is being performed. Due to the fact that the playing cards are excessively deformed after being used for a long time or internal parts of the card dispenser are damaged due to faults, the playing cards possibly reach the card outlet 2b within preset time, namely within preset rotation steps in the loading process, at the moment, the infrared light source of the counting sensor 4 is not shielded all the time and does not generate corresponding level change, namely the sensor 4 does not sense that the playing cards are loaded to the card outlet 2 b.

If the playing card is the first playing card, that is, the situation occurs in step S52, i.e., the first playing card loading phase in which the rotator base 21 has not yet begun to rotate. At this time, since the card dealing machine has not started dealing, the electronic control unit 4 sends out a control instruction to control the driving device 4 to stop working, and sends out a first error signal to the user in time to remind the user to perform inspection and maintenance.

If the playing card is not the first playing card, that is, the situation occurs in step S55, that is, the rotator base 21 rotates at the first preset rotation speed, and the continuous loading and dealing stage after dealing at least one playing card is completed. Due to the fact that relative sliding occurs between the playing cards and the first card dealing roller 22 and the second card dealing roller 23 caused by the rotation vibration, or due to the fact that the playing cards deform for a long time and the like, the playing cards in the card storage bin 2a may be blocked for a short time, and loading is not smooth enough. The electronic control unit 4 will send a fourth control command to the horizontal rotation mechanism 11 to drive the rotating body base 21 to decelerate according to the preset acceleration, and if the rotating body base 21 decelerates to the second preset rotating speed, the counting sensor 4 senses that the playing cards are loaded to the card outlet 2 b. The electronic control unit 4 will re-drive the rotating body base 21 to return to the first preset rotating speed in a short time, and continue to deal cards according to the preset frequency, so as to ensure that the playing cards can be dealt to the preset position. When the rotating body base 21 is decelerated from the first preset rotating speed to the second preset rotating speed, the counting sensor 4 still does not sense that the playing cards are loaded to the card outlet 2b, the electronic control unit 4 can judge that a fault card dealing error occurs, and control the driving device 4 and the horizontal rotating mechanism 11 to stop, so that a second error reporting signal is sent to a user, and the user is reminded to perform inspection and maintenance.

The card dealing machine adopts the method to timely carry out fault reporting and error reminding on a user in the process of dealing cards, so that the user can conveniently replace new playing cards in time or check and maintain the card dealing machine, the use experience of the user is prevented from being influenced by the card dealing error in the game process, and the practicability is further improved.

In this step, for example, after the electronic control unit 4 issues the fourth control command to the horizontal rotation mechanism 11, the horizontal rotation mechanism decelerates according to the S curve within a certain number of steps, and the deceleration frequency formula is as follows:

wherein, Fcurrent is the frequency gradually slowed down, Fmin is the first target rotation speed, which is 80us in the embodiment of the present invention, Fmax is the second preset rotation speed, such as 1000us, num is the total step number in the deceleration process, i is the step number, e is the natural number, and flexile is a set constant.

Optionally, after the electronic control unit 4 sends the first control instruction to the driving device 24, when the counting sensor 4 does not sense that the playing cards are loaded in the card outlet 2b within a preset time, if the playing cards are not the first cards, the electronic control unit 4 sends a fourth control instruction to the horizontal rotation mechanism 11 to drive the rotating body base 21 to decelerate according to a preset acceleration, and before the rotating body base 21 decelerates from the first preset rotation speed to the second preset rotation speed, the counting sensor 4 senses that the playing cards are loaded in the card outlet 2b, the electronic control unit 4 accumulates error points and sends a fifth control instruction to the horizontal rotation mechanism 11 to drive the rotating body base 21 to reaccelerate to the first preset rotation speed according to the preset acceleration. When the error integral accumulation reaches the preset threshold value, the electronic control unit 4 is used for controlling the driving device 4 and the horizontal rotating mechanism 11 to stop, and a third error signal is sent to the user. Illustratively, in the embodiment of the present invention, in the step S55, if the playing cards are not loaded in time according to the predetermined time in the continuous loading and dealing stage, even if the playing cards can be loaded in time in the process of the electronic control unit 4 controlling the rotating body base 21 to decelerate, there is a certain risk of dealing error. When such a condition occurs, the electronic control unit 4 registers the situation and accumulates the error integral. When the working condition appears for a plurality of times in the subsequent dealing process, the electronic control unit 4 recognizes that the accumulated error integral reaches the preset threshold value, and then controls the driving device 4 and the horizontal rotating mechanism 11 to stop, and sends a third error signal to the user to remind the user of checking and maintaining. So as to eliminate error hidden trouble in time and further improve the use experience of users.
