Therefore, temporary passes are becoming more and more popular, but these cards need to be recycled and the relevant information needs to be counted.
[0003] The current card recovery device requires the previous owner's card to be placed in the recovery card slot or the staff to take the card from the owner and then put it into the recovery card slot to complete a series of subsequent processes such as card reading and recovery. The next owner needs to wait until the previous owner's card completes all operations before he can put his own card into the recovery card slot. The efficiency is very low, and when there are too many owners, it is easy to cause channel congestion, causing inconvenience to the owners entering and leaving, and is not conducive to public security management. Summary of the invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a card recovery and sorting device, which can realize automatic card recovery and card return without manual intervention. Only cards need to be put in. The device can realize the recovery of valid cards and the return of invalid cards.

[0009] The rotating disk is received in the accommodating cavity; the rotating disk comprises an inclined portion and a columnar portion, the large diameter end of the inclined portion is connected to the columnar portion, and the columnar portion is arranged close to the bottom surface of the accommodating cavity; and the columnar portion and the inner side wall of the accommodating cavity form an accommodating space for accommodating a single card, so that the card can slide into the accommodating space along the inclined portion;
[0010] The card recognition structure is provided with a card channel corresponding to the accommodating space, so that when the driving mechanism drives the turntable to rotate, when the accommodating space is connected to the card channel, the card in the accommodating space flows into the card channel and is recognized by the card recognition structure, and when the card is a valid card, the card flows to the valid card recovery structure; when the card is an invalid card, the card flows to the card return channel;

[0020] In the present technical solution, since the position of the card recognition structure is fixed, when the card does not enter the card recognition structure in an accurate posture, it may be impossible to recognize it. Therefore, the setting of the pushing part ensures that the card entering the accommodating space can only be horizontal and can only be a single card (i.e. one card), thereby ensuring that the card enters the accommodating space in the same posture, ensuring the effectiveness and accuracy of the recognition process.
[0021] Further preferably, the effective card recovery structure includes an effective card channel, an effective card storage space and a first sensor; the effective card channel is obliquely projected above the effective card storage space, so that the effective card flows from the effective card channel to the effective card storage space under the action of its own gravity; the effective card channel is provided with the first sensor for detecting whether a card passes through; the first sensor is connected to the driving mechanism; or, the effective card recovery structure includes an effective card channel, an effective card storage space, a first sensor and a second sensor; the effective card channel is obliquely projected above the effective card storage space, so that the effective card flows from the effective card channel to the effective card storage space under the action of its own gravity; the effective card channel is provided with the first sensor for detecting whether a card passes through; the first sensor is connected to the driving mechanism; the effective card storage space is provided with the second sensor for detecting whether the effective cards are full at the end close to the effective card channel.

Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work.
[0047] In order to make the drawings concise, only the parts related to the present invention are schematically shown in each figure, and they do not represent the actual structure of the product. In addition, in order to make the drawings concise and easy to understand, in some figures, only one of the parts with the same structure or function is schematically drawn, or only one of them is marked. In this article, "one" not only means "only one", but also means "more than one". In this article, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly stipulated and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal connection of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0048] In the first embodiment, Figure 1-7 As shown, a card recycling and sorting device comprises: a card sorting structure 11, a card identification structure 12, a card ejection channel 13 and an effective card recycling structure 14; the card sorting structure 11 comprises a turntable 111, a driving mechanism and a recycling shell 113 provided with a receiving chamber 1131; the turntable 111 is received in the receiving chamber 1131; the turntable 111 comprises an inclined portion 1111 and a columnar portion 1112, the large diameter end of the inclined portion 1111 is connected to the columnar portion 1112, and the columnar portion 1112 is arranged close to the bottom surface of the receiving chamber 1131; and the columnar portion 1112 and the inner side wall of the receiving chamber 1131 form a receiving space 1141 for accommodating a single card 2, so that the card 2 can be moved along the inclined portion 1111 111 slides into the accommodating space 1141; the card identification structure 12 is provided with a card channel corresponding to the accommodating space 1141, so that when the driving mechanism drives the turntable 111 to rotate, when the accommodating space 1141 is connected to the card channel, the card 2 in the accommodating space 1141 flows into the card channel and is identified by the card identification structure 12, when the card 2 is a valid card, the card 2 flows to the valid card recovery structure 14; when the card 2 is an invalid card, the card 2 flows to the card return channel 13; the recovery shell 113 is provided with a card insertion port 1132 for inserting the card 2 corresponding to the inclined portion 1111, and the card accommodating space 115 formed by the inclined portion 1111 and the recovery shell 113 can accommodate at least one card 2.
[0049] In actual application, the car owner only needs to put the card 2 into the device through the card insertion port 1132, and the device will sort and identify the card. Even if there are many car owners, the car owner can directly put the card 2 into the card storage space 115 for temporary storage, and the device can continuously identify the cards 2 one by one, and distinguish and divert the unrecognizable cards and wrong cards (i.e. invalid cards) from the valid cards. There is no need for the next car owner to wait for the previous car owner's card 2 to be recognized before delivering the card 2 as in the prior art, which will cause the passage to be blocked and is not conducive to entry and exit. The device does not require the car owner holding the card 2 to wait, and only needs to put the card 2 into the device in turn. The car owner does not need to wait for the recognition result of the card 2 and make unnecessary waiting. Since the card 2 can be delivered by the car owner himself, at the same time, it also greatly reduces the related work of the staff who check the gate (such as receiving the card 2, the staff need to walk around to facilitate the recovery of the card 2 because the car owner is too far away, etc.).
[0050] In the second embodiment, Figure 1-7 As shown, on the basis of the first embodiment, there are multiple accommodating spaces 1141, and at least one accommodating space 1141 is connected to the card channel during the 360° rotation of the turntable 111. Specifically, the bottom surface of the accommodating cavity 1131 is provided with a through slot corresponding to the size of the accommodating space 1141, and the card channel is arranged below the through slot and connected to the through slot, so that when the position of the accommodating space 1141 corresponds to the through slot in the rotation process of the turntable 111, the card 2 falls from the accommodating space 1141 under its own gravity and enters the card channel through the through slot, and then the card recognition structure 12 recognizes the card 2 and performs a diversion operation according to the recognition result: when the card 2 is a valid card, the valid card flows to the valid card recovery structure 14; when the card 2 is an invalid card, the card 2 flows to the card withdrawal channel 13. Effectively, it also includes a card guide channel 1133 arranged on the outside or inside of the card insertion port 1132, and the card guide channel 1133 is used to guide the card 2 and flow into the card holding space 115.
[0051] It is worth noting that one or more through slots and card channels can be provided correspondingly, and correspondingly, one or more card identification structures 12 can also be provided. In order to enable the card identification structure 12 to realize single card identification, the number of card identification structures 12 and the number of through slots and card channels are in a one-to-one correspondence. When there are more than two card identification structures 12, card channels and through slots, a card sorting structure 11, an effective card recovery structure 14 and a card return channel 13 can be shared, thereby greatly improving the working efficiency of the device. The above situation should also belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Preferably, the outer periphery of the columnar portion 1112 is provided with a plurality of radially extending card columns 1142, and the space between two adjacent card columns 1142 forms a receiving space 1141. In practical applications, the card column 1142 can be a column extending in the radial direction, or a sheet extending in the axial direction, as long as the card setting of a single card 2 can be realized. That is, the space between the turntable 111 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 1131 and the accommodating space 1141 formed by two adjacent card columns 1142 can only accommodate a single card 2 lying flat (the bottom surface of the card 2 (the surface formed by the length dimension and the width dimension) is close to the bottom surface of the accommodating cavity 1131), standing upright (the left side surface of the card 2 (the surface formed by the width dimension and the thickness dimension) is close to the bottom surface of the accommodating cavity 1131) or standing horizontally (the front side surface of the card 2 (the surface formed by the length dimension and the thickness dimension) is close to the bottom surface of the accommodating cavity 1131). Preferably, in order to facilitate the card 2 to enter the accommodating space 1141 more smoothly, the outer peripheral dimension of the accommodating space 1141 is slightly larger than the dimension of the card 2, but the larger dimension is preferably smaller than the dimension of the card 2 in any direction.
[0052] In the third embodiment, Figure 1-7 As shown, on the basis of the first or second embodiment, the card sorting structure 11 further includes a card-push member 116, the extension direction of the card-push member 116 is parallel to the inclination direction of the inclined portion 1111, and a gap is provided between the card-push member 116 and the inclined portion 1111, so that during the rotation of the turntable 111, the card 2 located at the inclined portion 1111 lies flat and passes through the gap. The provision of the card-push member 116 greatly reduces the stuck phenomenon of the card 2 during the rotation of the turntable 111, and the card-push member 116 allows the card 2 in the card-holding space 115 to slide into the accommodating space 1141 in a lying posture, effectively avoiding the stuck or stuck phenomenon of the turntable 111 caused by multiple cards standing upright, standing horizontally or lying flat at the same time entering the accommodating space 1141, and effectively reducing the failure rate of the device. In order to facilitate the card 2 to slide into the accommodating space 1141 under the action of its gravity, the angle between the inclined surface 11111 of the inclined portion 1111 and the horizontal direction is preferably greater than 55°. Of course, according to the principle of mechanics, the force of the card 2 along the extending direction of the inclined surface 11111 should be greater than the friction between the card 2 and the inclined surface 11111. Preferably, the inclined portion 1111 is a truncated cone structure or a conical structure.
[0053] Further preferably, the card 2 includes a thickness dimension, a length dimension and a width dimension; the length dimension is greater than the width dimension, and the width dimension is greater than the thickness dimension; the accommodating space 1141 can accommodate a single horizontal card 2, so that the length dimension is set close to the bottom surface of the accommodating cavity 1131; the end of the card pushing member 116 close to the large diameter end extends toward the columnar portion 1112 with a push-down portion 1161. In order to avoid multiple cards entering the accommodating space 1141 at the same time, the card 2 is arranged to be temporarily stored in the accommodating space 1141 in a horizontal position, and the card 2 enters the card channel in a horizontal position and is recognized by the card recognition structure 12. The present invention preferably arranges the accommodating space 1141 so that the card 2 can only be accommodated in the accommodating space 1141 in a horizontal position. Since the width dimension is smaller than the length dimension, some cards 2 will enter the accommodating space 1141 in an upright manner. In order to facilitate the card 2 to be recognized by the card recognition structure 12 in the same posture and reduce the difficulty of recognizing the card 2, the card 2 standing upright in the accommodating space 1141 is knocked down by the pushing part 1161 to be accommodated in the accommodating space 1141 in a horizontal position. It is worth noting that when the card 2 is placed in the storage space 1141 in an upright or horizontal position, the distance between the columnar portion 1112 and the inner wall of the storage cavity 1131 is preferably not less than the thickness of the card 2 and preferably less than twice the thickness of the card 2; when the card 2 is placed flat in the storage space 1141, the columnar portion 1112 and the storage cavity 1131 are preferably able to accommodate a single flat card 2, and the storage space 1141 is larger than the size of the card 2 but not larger than the thickness of the card 2; the specific selection can be made according to the actual application. In actual applications, the posture of the card 2 in the storage space 1141 may not be restricted, but the position of the card recognition structure 12 may be adjusted to achieve multi-posture recognition of the card 2. The columnar portion 1112 may be a cylindrical structure or a multi-faceted structure.
[0054] In the fourth embodiment, Figure 1-7 As shown, on the basis of the third embodiment, the card-push member 116 may be a rod-shaped structure or a sheet-shaped structure. Furthermore, in order to facilitate the excessive number of cards 2 in the card-holding space 115, which causes the turntable 111 to rotate inflexibly, a space is provided between the card-push member 116 and the upper surface of the accommodating chamber 1131 to facilitate the card 2 to lie flat and pass through, and the size of the gap between the card-push member 116 and the inclined surface 11111 and the space between the card-push member 116 and the upper surface of the accommodating chamber 1131 is preferably not less than the thickness dimension of the card 2 but less than the width dimension of the card 2. Of course, the card-push member 116 may also be provided with one or more through holes to facilitate the card 2 to lie flat and pass through, and the size of the through hole is preferably not less than the thickness dimension of the card 2 but less than the width dimension of the card 2. The card-push member 116 also has a guiding function along the inclined direction of the inclined surface 11111, so that the card 2 can flow to the accommodating space 1141 along its extension direction, thereby improving the working efficiency of the device. In practical applications, the card-push member 116 may be fixedly mounted on the recovery shell 113 (such as Figure 5-7 As shown), of course, the card-pulling member 116 can also be fixed on the rotating shaft of the rotating disk 111 (as shown in FIG. Figure 1-4 As shown), it is worth noting that the rotating shaft is cylindrical and fixed at this time, while the turntable 111 rotates around the rotating shaft. Of course, when the dialing member 116 is fixed to the recovery shell 113, at this time, the turntable 111 can be driven by the rotating shaft to select, that is, the rotating shaft is a polygonal structure with at least one inflection point, so that it is convenient for the rotating shaft to drive the turntable 111 to select; preferably, the driving mechanism also includes a reduction motor 1121, a bearing seat 1122, and a bearing 1123, wherein the rotating shaft is installed on the bearing seat 1122 through the bearing 1123, the reduction motor 1121 is connected to the rotating shaft, and the reduction motor 1121 is installed at the bearing seat 1122 and is located below the turntable 111. In order to reduce the size of the device along the height direction, the turntable 111 is preferably a hollow structure, so as to facilitate the concealed installation of the reduction motor 1121 and the bearing seat 1122.
[0055] In the fifth embodiment, Figure 1-7 As shown, on the basis of the first, second, third or fourth embodiment, the effective card recovery structure 14 includes an effective card channel 141, an effective card storage space 142 and a first sensor 143; the effective card channel 141 is obliquely projected above the effective card storage space, so that the effective card flows from the effective card channel 141 to the effective card storage space under its own gravity; the effective card channel 141 is provided with a first sensor 143 for detecting whether a card 2 passes through; the first sensor 143 is connected to the driving mechanism. Preferably, a second sensor is also included. The end of the effective card storage space close to the effective card channel 141 is provided with a second sensor for detecting whether the effective card is full. Preferably, a first prompter is also included, and the second sensor is connected to the first prompter. When the second sensor detects that the recovered effective cards reach a specified amount, the second sensor gives a signal, so that the first prompter prompts the staff to recycle the effective cards for reuse. Specifically, the effective card channel 141 is tilted above the effective card storage space 142, so that the effective card slides down into the effective card storage space 142 under the action of its own gravity. According to the principle of mechanics, the force of the card 2 along the tilt direction of the effective card channel 141 should be greater than the friction between the card 2 and the effective card channel 141. Preferably, the angle between the effective card channel 141 and the horizontal direction is greater than 45°. Preferably, the card ejection channel 13 is provided with a third sensor 131 for detecting whether a card 2 passes through; the third sensor 131 is connected to the driving mechanism.
[0056] Further preferably, it also includes an invalid card storage space, and the card return channel 13 is tilted above the invalid card storage space, so that the invalid card slides into the invalid card storage space under its own gravity. According to the principle of mechanics, the force of the card 2 along the tilt direction of the card return channel 13 should be greater than the friction between the card 2 and the card return channel 13. Preferably, the angle between the card return channel 13 and the horizontal direction is greater than 45°. Preferably, the end of the invalid card storage space close to the card return channel 13 is provided with a fifth sensor for detecting whether the invalid cards are full. Preferably, it also includes a second prompter, and the fifth sensor is connected to the second prompter.

The receiving end 1222 is separately arranged in the temporary storage channel to identify the card 2. When the card 2 is a valid card, the corner motor 123 rotates, so that the card 2 in the third channel flows to the valid card channel 141 through the first channel 1241 under the action of its own gravity; when the card 2 is an invalid card, the corner motor 123 rotates (in the opposite direction to the rotation of the valid card), so that the card 2 in the third channel flows to the card return channel 13 through the second channel 1242 under the action of its own gravity; each time the corner motor 123 rotates once, it is reset, that is, the third channel is docked with the through slot and is connected.

Preferably, the power mechanism can be a linear motor, and the lever is a card slot structure covered on both sides of the upper end of the card 2; and the temporary storage channel is a straight slot structure with a notch facing the through slot, one end of the straight slot is used to communicate with the effective card channel 141, and the other end of the straight slot is used to communicate with the card withdrawal channel 13; in actual application, when the card 2 falls from the through slot, the bottom of the card 2 stays on the bottom surface of the straight slot, and the two sides of the card 2 are restricted by the card slot, when the recognition structure identifies the card 2, when the card 2 is a valid card, the linear motor drives the lever to move along the extension direction of the straight slot toward the effective card channel 141, so that the card 2 flows to the effective card channel 141 under the action of its own gravity; when the card 2 is an invalid card, the linear motor drives the lever to move along the extension direction of the straight slot toward the card withdrawal channel 13, so that the card 2 flows to the card withdrawal channel 13 under the action of its own gravity; when the linear motor drives the lever to be braked each time, it will reset so that the card slot and the through slot are docked. Furthermore, the card channel can also be a through slot structure provided when the through slot is in the initial position, and the through slot structure is fixedly provided below the through slot. Further preferably, the straight slot structure is connected with the effective card channel 141, and the straight slot structure is connected with the card ejection channel 13 by an arc transition, that is, the two ends of the straight slot structure are provided with arc grooves and are respectively connected with the effective card channel 141 and the card ejection channel 13 by an arc transition.

In practical applications, in order to facilitate the start and shutdown of various mechanisms (card sorting structure, card recognition structure, sensor (i.e., first sensor 143, second sensor, third sensor 131, fourth sensor, fifth sensor) and other mechanisms), a controller can also be set, and the controller is connected to each mechanism of the device respectively to realize the centralized control of each mechanism. In practical applications, the card 2 can be a park card, a community parking card, a high-speed pass card, etc. The sensor can be an infrared sensor or a laser sensor. The identification structure should be an identification structure corresponding to the identification of card 2, but when card 2 is a radio frequency card, the identification structure is a radio frequency identification structure; when card 2 is a barcode or icon card, the identification structure can correspond to an image sensor, and the identification structure can be an independent component or two components arranged relatively (i.e., a transmitting end and a receiving end), etc.
