Example Embodiment

[0034] In order to provide an implementation scheme for automatically sucking and clamping an IC card and accurately fixing the position of the IC card, the embodiment of the present invention provides a method and device for testing the service life of an IC card. The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. .
[0035] Refer to figure 1 As shown, an IC card service life test method provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
[0036] Step 100: After the power is turned on, the IC card is inserted, and the rubber roller of the clamping mechanism rotates to wind the IC card and clamp it.
[0037] Specifically, the IC card service life testing device includes a housing. From the outside, the housing is provided with a card insertion slot corresponding to the position where the IC card is rolled, so that the IC card can be inserted into the correct position. After the power is turned on, the DC motor rotates forward. The forward rotation in the embodiment of the present invention refers to clockwise rotation, which drives the gear set to rotate, and the gear set drives the rubber roller of the clamping mechanism to rotate counterclockwise, rolls in the IC card and clamps the IC card together with the IC card support shaft.
[0038] After the rubber roller of the clamping mechanism rotates to roll in and clamp the IC card, before receiving the correct insertion signal, when the edge of the IC card is inserted into contact with the fixed baffle of the clamping mechanism, stop rotating the rubber roller , Generate the correct insertion signal, wherein the fixed baffle is arranged on the side of the rubber roller away from the IC card insertion guide slot.
[0039] Step 110: When the correct signal is received, the stepping motor is driven. The stepping motor drives the screw nut to move forward and backward along the screw, and the screw nut drives the clamping mechanism and the IC card to move forward and backward together.
[0040] Specifically, after receiving the correct insertion signal, confirm that the IC card has been rolled and clamped in the correct position, stop the DC motor, control the stepper motor driver by the micro-control unit, and then drive the stepper motor through the stepper motor driver. The stepping motor can convert the electrical pulse signal into angular displacement, rotate the screw, the screw can be rotated forward or reverse, so that the screw nut can move forward and backward along the screw, and the screw nut is connected with the clamping mechanism to drive the clamping The mounting mechanism and the IC card clamped on the clamping mechanism move back and forth.
[0041] Step 120: Every time the IC card is moved forward and inserted into the card reader, the card reader reads and writes the IC card. When receiving a feedback signal of incorrect reading or writing, the stepper motor is stopped. , And count the number of read operations or write operations.
[0042] Specifically, when the lead screw nut moves forward and backward along the lead screw, it drives the IC card to move forward and backward. Each time it moves forward, the IC card is inserted into the card reader, and the card reader starts to perform reading and writing operations on the IC card. If both read and write operations are normal, it is determined that the IC card status is normal. If one of the read operation or write operation fails to be performed normally, it is determined that the IC card status is abnormal, and the micro-processing unit is fed back a signal indicating that the read operation or write operation is not correct. After receiving the feedback signal, the micro-processing unit stops driving the stepper motor, stops the insertion and removal operations of the IC card, and counts the number of read operations or write operations as a parameter for judging the life of the IC card.

Among them, the support structure of the card reader is usually fixed, but in the embodiment of the present invention, the bolt and the spring 25 are sleeved into an integrated structure, so that the support structure of the card reader can be made flexible, so that after the card reader is clamped, It can be shaken in a small area. When inserting the IC card, it is easy to insert the card reader. It will not cause friction between the IC card and the card reader due to the inaccurate alignment when inserting, which will cause the IC card to be easily damaged or card off Card reader.
[0046] The clamping four-bar mechanism 27 includes: a buckle 28, a rotating shaft 29, a short link 30 and a long link 31; the buckle 28 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating shaft 29, and the lower end of the rotating shaft 29 is fixedly connected to one end of the short link 30, The other end of the short link 30 is hinged with the long link 31; the card reader 3 can be clamped or released by rotating the buckle 28. Among them, see Figure 5 As shown, pull one of the buckles 28, for example, clockwise and counterclockwise in the following expressions are all viewed from top to bottom; pull the left buckle 28 counterclockwise to drive the left shaft to rotate counterclockwise to drive fixation The connected left short link rotates counterclockwise, that is, with the left short link 30 as the radius, the connection point of the left shaft 29 and the left short link 30 is the center of the circle, driving the left short link 30 and the long link The connecting point of the articulation 31 draws a circle counterclockwise, the long link 31 moves right and inward under the drive of the left short link 30, and drives the right short link 30 to move clockwise, drives the shaft to move clockwise, and drives the right side The buckle 28 moves clockwise, so that the card reader 3 placed in the card holder 24 can be taken out; similarly, turning the left buckle 28 clockwise will make the right buckle 28 rotate counterclockwise to clamp Tight card reader 3.

The roller 12 and the IC card support shaft 13 are rolled into the IC card 5. The sensor 16 on the IC card baffle 15 senses that the IC card 5 has contacted the IC card baffle 15, and then sends a feedback signal to the micro processing unit, which is controlled by the micro control unit The stepper motor driver, the stepper motor driver drives the stepper motor 6 to work. The stepper motor 6 makes the lead screw rotate forward and reverse according to the cycle. The lead screw nut moves forward and backward along the lead screw when it rotates forward and backward, and drives it when it moves forward and backward. The plug-in unit 2 connected to the bracket 19 of the clamping structure completes the function of moving the IC card back and forth, and the IC card can be inserted or removed from the card reader when it is moved back and forth. The stepper motor repeatedly drives the screw nut to move forward, so that the IC card is inserted into the card reader, and then the stepper motor stops. After the reader completes the reading and writing operation, the stepper motor drives the screw nut to move backward, making the IC card Pull it out from the card reader and repeat it all the time. At this end of the card reader, the card reader 3 needs to be inserted into the card slot 26 in advance. Each time the card reader is inserted, the card reader performs a read operation or a write operation. After normal reading and writing, it sends a signal to the micro-control unit and counts it in the number of times the IC card is inserted and removed. When the card reader cannot read and write correctly, it sends a signal to the micro-control unit, the micro-control unit counts the number of insertions and removals and displays it on the LCD display, and stops the stepper motor, drives the DC motor, drives the gear, and rolls out the IC card. Take out the IC card 5 from the IC card insertion guide slot.
[0050] To sum up, the solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention uses a DC motor to drive the rubber roller to directly roll in and clamp the card, which saves human resources during testing, improves the efficiency of batch testing, and the clamping position is fixed. There will be no artificial changes. It can be aligned with the reader of the test IC card every time, and the support structure for clamping the reader adopts a flexible support, so that the reader can be shaken in a small area, making it easier to insert the IC card Pulling out is closer to the situation of inserting an IC card during human operation, and it is not easy to damage the card reader and the IC card. In the embodiment of the present invention, an easy-to-implement four-bar mechanism is used to clamp the card reader, which makes the operation more convenient.
