Product Function and Evaluation
Usage
Mechanical Function
Both sides of the card shuffler are mirrored and work independently. Their only connection is through the electrical circuit which closes once the bar is depressed. The following is a description of one independent side of the card shuffler.
The main mechanical function of the card shuffler comes from the motor/gearbox components. When the circuit is completed, the motor pinion turns the gearing system shown in figure 1. The pinion gear turns the first gear on the far right. This gear then translates its motion in two ways: 1) It directly rotates the agitator gear attached behind it on the same shaft 2) It translates its motion through the second gear to turn the third gear. The third gear is attached to a rubber wheel that grips a card from the feeder tray and slides it into the collection chamber. The agitation gear is a quarter gear that slightly protrudes above the feeder tray. This facilitates a steady flow of individual cards by vibrating the stack so that no cards stick together.
Upon entering the collection chamber, the cards encounter a routing surface (Part #adsf in Figure #adfasdf) which angles the cards downwards towards the base of the collection chamber. The base of the collection chamber sits on springs which compress as more cards are shuffled. This prevents the cards from flipping over on their way down the collection chamber by keeping the top of the stack close to the entrance of the chamber. Figure #adfs shows the platform of the collection chamber in its fully extended position; as cards stack in the collection chamber, the springs compress and the platform lowers.
