[0029] The present invention provides an anti-inversion card dispensing box.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of an embodiment of an anti-inversion card dispensing box of the present invention; Figure 2 for Figure 1 The three-dimensional exploded structural diagram of the anti-inversion card issuing box is shown.

[0031] In this embodiment, the anti-inversion card issuing box is applied to an automatic card issuing machine for implementing automatic card issuing. It includes a housing 100, a door panel 200, a limiting device 300, and a self-locking device 400.

[0032] The housing 100 is a rectangular frame with an open side, and a receiving space 102 for receiving the card 500 is formed therein.

[0033] In this embodiment, the housing 100 includes a top plate 120 and a bottom plate 140 that are arranged opposite to each other, and an outer frame 160 that is arranged between the top plate 120 and the bottom plate 140. The top plate 120, the bottom plate 140, and the outer frame 160 form the rectangular frame. The accommodating space 102 is formed in the rectangular frame. The outer frame 160 includes a back plate 162, and a first side plate 164 and a second side plate 166 that are arranged opposite to each other; the first side plate 164 is provided with a card issuing slot 165 for issuing the card 500 at a position close to the bottom plate 140. The back plate 162, the first side plate 164, and the second side plate 166 are integrally formed, or are separately formed and then fixedly connected together. Specifically, in this embodiment, the back plate 162, the first side plate 164, and the second side plate 166 are integrally formed by a bending process.

[0034] Furthermore, for easy carrying, handles 130 are provided on the top plate 120 and the second side plate 166 .

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, and reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 3 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the door panel shown.

[0036] The door panel 200 is rotatably connected to the housing 100 for opening or closing the opening.

[0037] In this embodiment, the door panel 200 is rotatably connected to the bottom plate 140 , and the door panel 200 is closed by rotating toward the housing 100 , and is opened by rotating away from the housing 100 .

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the door panel 200 includes a stacked inner panel 220 and an outer panel 240. The inner panel 220 is provided with a plurality of latch holes 222 arranged longitudinally (from the top panel 120 to the bottom panel 140), and a hollow portion 224 located on one side of the latch holes 222. The outer panel 240 is provided with a transparent window 242 corresponding to the hollow portion 224, through which a user can observe the interior of the card dispensing box.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, and reference Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 4 for Figure 1 The assembly diagram of the limiting device is shown.

[0040] The limiting device 300 is movably installed in the housing 100 and is used to limit the card 500 when the door panel 200 closes the opening.

[0041] In this embodiment, the limiting device 300 includes a partition 320 disposed between the top plate 120 and the bottom plate 140 and spaced apart from the back plate 162, a pressing plate 340 disposed on the side of the partition 320 facing away from the back plate 162, and a slider 360 and a first elastic member 380 disposed on the side of the partition 320 facing the back plate 162. Specifically, the partition 320 is disposed parallel to the back plate 162 and is fixed to the top plate 120, the bottom plate 140, and the first side plate 164 and the second side plate 166. The partition 320 is provided with two through slots 322 in the longitudinal direction, and a connecting column 324 is provided on the partition 320 near the bottom plate 140. One end of the pressing plate 340 passes through the through slot 322 and is fixedly connected to the slider 360. The first elastic member 380 is a spring, one end of which is fixedly connected to the slider 360 and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the connecting post 324. The spring is used to apply a pulling force to the slider 360 toward the bottom plate 140, thereby driving the card pressing plate 340 to move toward the bottom plate 140, thereby pressing the card 500 between the card pressing plate 340 and the bottom plate 140. However, due to the limited elastic force of the spring, when the card dispensing box is lying flat or inverted, the elastic force is insufficient to retain the card 500, and the cards 500 may be reversed or their order may be disrupted.

[0042] In order to avoid the above situation, Figure 5 As shown, and reference Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 5 for Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the assembly of the card pressing plate and the top plate shown.

[0043] In this embodiment, the end of the card pressing plate 340 facing the door panel 200 is provided with an elastic hook 342 that is adapted to fit within the latching hole 222. When the door panel 200 closes the opening, the elastic hook 342 is engaged within one of the latching holes 222. Specifically, the lower surface of the elastic hook 342 has a guide slope 343. When subjected to an upward force, the elastic hook 342 retracts inward. During use, the card pressing plate 340 is first supported above the cards 500, with the elastic hook 342 engaged within one of the latching holes 222. When the number of cards 500 in the card dispensing box decreases, the card pressing plate 340 moves downward under the pulling force of the first elastic member 380. The elastic hook 342 retracts due to the upward reaction force, disengages from the latching hole 222, moves downward, and ultimately engages within the next latching hole 222. In this embodiment, the elastic hook 342 on the card pressing plate 340 cooperates with the card hole 222 on the door panel 200 to further limit the position of the card 500, thereby effectively preventing the card 500 from being reversed or the order from being disrupted when the card issuing box is lying flat or inverted. In addition, the structure of this embodiment is simple and the cost is relatively low.

[0044] Furthermore, the limiting device 300 also includes a hook 302 rotatably mounted on the top plate 120, and a hanging rod 344 provided on the card pressing plate 340. When the card pressing plate 340 moves toward the top plate 120 under the action of an external force and moves into position, the hook 302 cooperates with the hanging rod 344 to position the card pressing plate 340. Specifically, to facilitate the user's placement of the card 500 in the accommodating space 102, when the card pressing plate 340 moves to the position of the top plate 120, the hook 302 will hook the hanging rod 344, thereby positioning the card pressing plate 340. At this time, the user can place the card 500 between the card pressing plate 340 and the bottom plate 140. After placement, force is applied to the hook 302 to rotate the hook 302 and separate it from the hanging rod 344, thereby releasing the card pressing plate 340. After being released, the card pressing plate 340 moves toward the direction close to the bottom plate 140 (ie, downward) under the pulling force of the first elastic member 380 , and is finally supported on the card 500 .

[0045] To facilitate the release of the card-holding plate 340, in this embodiment, the hook 302 is provided with a protrusion. When the user places the card 500 and closes the door panel 200, the door panel 200 presses against the protrusion, causing the hook 302 to rotate and disengage from the hanging rod 344, thereby releasing the card-holding plate 340. Alternatively, the user can manually apply force to the protrusion to cause the hook 302 to rotate and disengage from the hanging rod 344, thereby releasing the card-holding plate 340.

[0046] like Figure 6 Shown and referenced Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 6 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the assembly of the self-locking device and the top plate shown.

[0047] The self-locking device 400 is used to open or close the hairpin opening 165. The self-locking device 400 includes a fixed plate 420 disposed parallel to the first side plate 164, a movable plate 440 movably connected to the fixed plate 420, and a plurality of second elastic members 460 connected at one end to the fixed plate 420 and at the other end to the movable plate 440. The fixed plate 420 is provided with a guide post 422 and a guide block 424; the movable plate 440 is provided with a guide hole 442 and a guide slot 444. The second elastic member 460 is a spring, one end of which is fixedly connected to the guide block 424 and the other end is connected to the wall of the guide slot 444. The second elastic member 460 is a spring, one end of which is fixedly connected to the guide block 424 and the other end is connected to the wall of the guide slot 444. The second elastic member 460 is used to apply a thrust force to the movable plate 440 toward the bottom plate 140, thereby moving the movable plate 440 toward the bottom plate 140 and closing the hairpin opening 165. The movable plate 440 is provided with a force-applying member 446 for moving the movable plate 440 away from the bottom plate 140 under the action of an external force, thereby opening the card dispensing opening 165. A user can manually apply force to move the movable plate 440 upward to open the card dispensing opening 165. In this embodiment, to facilitate operation, a force-applying body (not shown) is provided on the main body of the automatic card dispensing machine to cooperate with the force-applying member 446. When the card dispensing box is installed in the automatic card dispensing machine, the force-applying body applies force to the force-applying member 446, causing the movable plate 440 to move away from the bottom plate 140, thereby opening the card dispensing opening 165. When the card dispensing box is separated from the automatic card dispensing machine, the movable plate 440 is moved toward the bottom plate 140 under the action of the second elastic member 460, thereby closing the card dispensing opening 165.

[0048] Furthermore, to prevent the card 500 from being stolen, in this embodiment, the self-locking device 400 further includes a protective cover (not shown) and a limiting assembly 480 disposed within the protective cover for limiting the movement of the movable plate 440. The protective cover is used to protect the limiting assembly 480 and improve the appearance. The limiting assembly 480 includes a limiting member 482 rotatably mounted on the top plate 120 and a reset member 484 for resetting the limiting member 482. When the limiting member 482 is in the locked position, it abuts against the top of the movable plate 440 to limit the movable plate 440 from moving away from the bottom plate 140 (i.e., upward). When the limiting member 482 rotates to the unlocked position under the action of an external force, it is located on one side of the movable plate 440, allowing the movable plate 440 to move away from the bottom plate 140 under the action of the external force. Specifically, to facilitate operation, in this embodiment, a pusher (not shown) is provided on the main body of the automatic card issuing machine that cooperates with the limiter 482. When the card issuing box is installed in the automatic card issuing machine, the pusher pushes the limiter 482, causing it to rotate to one side of the movable plate 440. Under the action of the force-applying body, the movable plate 440 moves away from the bottom plate 140, thereby opening the card issuing opening 165. When the card issuing box is separated from the automatic card issuing machine, the movable plate 440, under the action of the second elastic member 460, moves toward the bottom plate 140, thereby closing the card issuing opening 165. Simultaneously, the limiter 482 is reset by the reset member 484 and abuts directly above the movable plate 440, thereby limiting its movement away from the bottom plate 140.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention.
