[0064] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This invention provides a card packing device. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The figures shown are a side view and a top view of the card packing equipment. The equipment includes: a control device 900, a card detection device 300, a card transport device for moving cards, and a card insertion device 100 and a coding device 400 arranged sequentially along the transport direction of the cards; wherein... Figure 3 Structural frame of the card packing equipment provided in the embodiments of the present invention Figure 1 ,like Figure 3 As shown, the card transmission device 200, card detection device 300, and coding device 400 are all connected to the control device 900. The card feeding device 100 includes a container for placing cards and a card dispensing port, used to output cards placed in the container to the card transmission device 200 through the card dispensing port. The card transmission device 200, under the control of the control device 900, moves the cards along the transmission direction to the detection area of ​​the card detection device 300. The card detection device 300 reads the cards in the detection area and sends the reading result to the control device 900. The coding device 400 includes a coding port for performing coding operations. The coding port is correspondingly set to the detection area so that the control device 900 controls the coding device 400 to perform coding operations on the cards in the detection area according to the detection result.

[0065] The card packing equipment operates as follows: the card feeding device 100 outputs the cards placed in the container to the card conveying device 200 through the card dispensing port; the card conveying device 200 moves the cards along the conveying direction to the detection area of ​​the card detection device 300; the card detection device 300 reads the cards in the detection area and sends the reading result to the control device 900; the control device 900 controls the coding device 400 to perform a coding operation on the cards in the detection area according to the detection result.

[0066] The card packing equipment provided in this embodiment transports the cards output from the card receiving device 100 to the detection area via the card transmission device 200. The card detection device 300 reads the cards in the detection area, and the control device 900 controls the coding device 400 to perform coding based on the reading results. The entire card reading and coding process is fully automated, which can ensure accuracy, save labor costs, and improve work efficiency.

[0067] Alternatively, the coding device 400 can be a device capable of coding on cards; for example, the coding device 400 can be a laser coding device.

[0068] Optionally, the base of the coding device 400 is located next to the transmission surface of the card transmission device 200, and the coding port is located above the card detection device 300. The base of the coding device 400 and the coding port form an L-shape.

[0069] Optionally, the card transfer device 200 can push the card along the transfer direction by push rod 230, or it can drive the card along the transfer direction by conveyor belt.

[0070] Optionally, the transmission direction can be linear, or it can be achieved by combining multiple conveyor belts with transmission directions at a 90-degree angle, or by combining a conveyor belt with a push rod 230, to complete the 90-degree angle transmission. This allows for adjustment of the space occupied to adapt to different site requirements.

[0071] Optionally, the card detection device 300 can be positioned between the card insertion device 100 and the coding device 400, so that after the card is output from the card ejector of the card insertion device 100, it first passes through the detection area of ​​the card detection device 300 under the drive of the transmission device, and then enters the coding area of ​​the coding device 400. In this embodiment, "before," "after," and "between" are all relative to the transmission direction, and the direction opposite to the transmission direction is "forward."

[0072] As one possible operating mode of the card packing equipment, it can be an assembly line operation, where the card conveying device 200 can simultaneously convey multiple cards, which are arranged in a queue. The card at the front of the queue enters the second process after passing through the first process, the second card enters the first process, the first card enters the third process, the second card completes the first process and enters the second process, and so on, with each process working continuously at a certain cycle. Optionally, the first process can be the detection process of the card detection device 300, the second process can be the imaging process of the vision device 500 mentioned in subsequent embodiments, and the third process can be the coding process of the coding device 400. Optionally, the first process can be the imaging process of the vision device 500 mentioned in subsequent embodiments, the second process can be the detection process of the card detection device 300, and the third process can be the coding process of the coding device 400.

[0073] As another possible operating mode of the card packing equipment, it can be a periodic operation, that is, the card transmission device 200 transmits one card at a time, and the card passes through the card input device 100 after each process and then outputs the second card to the card transmission device 200, and so on in a periodic operation.

[0074] In one specific embodiment, the card detection device 300 includes a card reader located below the coding port, the card reader being disposed below the transmission surface of the card transmission device 200.

[0075] Optionally, the coding ports of the card detection device 300 and the coding device 400 are respectively located below and above the card transmission device 200, and are arranged opposite to each other. That is, the detection area also serves as the coding area for the coding device 400 to complete the coding operation on the card to be coded. This arrangement can save space.

[0076] In one specific embodiment, the device further includes a vision device 500 disposed above the card transfer device 200;

[0077] The vision device 500 is connected to the control device 900 and is used to acquire an image of the card to be coded on the card transmission device 200 and send it to the control device 900 so that the control device 900 can determine whether the card to be coded meets the coding conditions.

[0078] Optionally, the coding condition can be whether the card to be coded is facing up. If the card to be coded is facing down, the coding condition is not met and the coding operation cannot be performed.

[0079] Optionally, the vision device 500 can be positioned after the card insertion device, that is, after the card is ejected from the card insertion device, it enters the vision area and is first photographed. After the photographing operation is completed, subsequent inspection and coding processes are performed.

[0080] Optionally, the vision device 500 can be located after the card detection device 300, that is, after the card to be detected has completed the detection operation, it enters the operation area of ​​the vision device 500 to perform the camera operation.

[0081] Optionally, the vision device 500 can be positioned opposite the card inspection device 300 on the upper and lower sides of the card transfer device 200 to save space. That is, when inspection is performed in the inspection area, image acquisition can be performed simultaneously, which can shorten the process cycle.

[0082] Optionally, the vision device 500 may include a device for capturing images of the card, such as a camera, scanner, or camera.

[0083] In one specific embodiment, the vision device 500 is installed between the card insertion device 100 and the card detection device 300.

[0084] In one specific embodiment, the vision device 500 is integrated and installed on the coding port to acquire the card image within the detection area.

[0085] Optionally, after the vision device 500 completes the image acquisition operation, the coding device 400 performs coding according to the instructions sent by the control device 900.

[0086] In one specific embodiment, the device further includes a rejection device 600 installed after the card detection device 300 and the vision device 500;

[0087] The rejection device 600 is connected to the control device 900 and is used to recycle cards that fail to read or do not meet the coding conditions under the control of the control device 900.

[0088] Optionally, the rejection device 600 can be located on one side of the card detection device 300. The rejection device 600 may include a card collection box and a telescopic rod. One end of the telescopic rod is connected to the collection box, and the other end is provided with a hook for pulling the card to be collected. After the rejection device 600 receives a collection instruction sent by the control device 900, the telescopic rod can extend and retract horizontally on the card transmission device 200 in a direction perpendicular to the transmission direction to pull the card to be collected into the card collection box. When no collection instruction is received, the telescopic rod remains in a retracted state so that cards that do not need to be collected can be smoothly transmitted on the card transmission device 200.

[0089] The cards to be recycled can be cards that failed to be read or did not meet the coding conditions.

[0090] Optionally, the cross-section of the recycling card box can be square, and the area of ​​the cross-section can be larger than the area of ​​the card, so that the card can be placed in a horizontal position.

[0091] In one specific embodiment, the rejection device 600 includes a recycling card box, the top cover of which can be opened or closed under the control of the control device 900;

[0092] The card recycling box is installed at the output end of the card transmission device 200, and the card recycling cover is installed at a position lower than the output end of the card transmission device 200; when the top cover of the card recycling box is opened, the cards output by the card transmission device 200 are recycled into the card recycling box.

[0093] In one specific embodiment, the device further includes a packing device 700 installed at the output end of the card packing device;

[0094] The card inlet of the packing device 700 is connected to the output end of the card packing equipment, and the card outlet of the packing device 700 is connected to the card box 720, for conveying the coded cards output by the card packing equipment to the card box 720.

[0095] In one specific embodiment, the device further includes: a packing device 700 installed at the output end of the card packing device; the packing device includes a lifting module 710 for placing a card box 720;

[0096] The lifting module 710 is connected to the control device 900 and is used to lower the card box 720 by one card thickness after each coded card is collected, under the control of the control device 900, so as to receive the next coded card.

[0097] Optionally, the card box 720 can be a cardboard box or a plastic box with a fixed structural size. The fixed structural size matches the size of the card so that when the cards are collected after coding, the cards can be neatly and compactly packed into the box without manual packing. This also avoids the cards shaking during the transportation of the cardboard box, which could eventually damage the box and cause the cards to be lost or damaged.

[0098] In one specific embodiment, the packing device 700 further includes a card box detection module and a printing module;

[0099] Both the card box detection module and the printing module are connected to the control device 900. The card box detection module is used to send a message to the control device 900 when it detects that the number of cards in the card box 720 has reached a preset number, so that the control device 900 instructs the printing module to print out the identifier corresponding to the card box 720 according to the message.

[0100] Optionally, the identifier may include the number of cards, card type, company information, production date, precautions, usage instructions, product batch number, and national approval number.

[0101] In one specific embodiment, the card box detection module includes a weight sensor disposed on the lifting device 710, and the weight sensor is connected to the control device 900.

[0102] In one specific embodiment, the card transfer device 200 includes a power module 210 and a workbench 220. The power module 210 is connected to the workbench 220 and is used to move the cards on the workbench 220 along the transfer direction under the control of the control device 900.

[0103] In one specific embodiment, the worktable 220 includes a plurality of rollers and a conveyor belt, the plurality of rollers and the conveyor belt being drivenly connected;

[0104] The roller is connected to the power module 210 and is used to rotate under the drive of the power module 210 to drive the transmission belt to move along the transmission direction.

[0105] Optionally, the power module 210 can be an electric motor.

[0106] In this embodiment, the transmission surface of the card transmission device 200 is the upper surface of the conveyor belt, and the area below the transmission surface actually refers to the area below the conveyor belt.

[0107] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the power module 210 includes a drive module, a push rod 230, and a metal sheet 240;

[0108] The card insertion device 100 is a rectangular cylindrical structure and is vertically arranged above the workbench 220.

[0109] The push rod is connected to the metal plate 240 at one end and to the drive module at the other end. It is used to push the metal plate 240 under the drive module to the bottom of the card insertion device 100 so as to push out the card between the bottom surface of the card insertion device 100 and the worktable 220.

[0110] Optionally, the worktable can be a stationary worktable. When the first card is pushed out by the metal strip 240, it pushes the card in front of it to move forward along the transport direction. After the metal strip 240 pushes out the second card, the second card pushes the first card and the card in front of the first card to move forward along the transport direction.

[0111] Optionally, the distance between the bottom surface of the cylindrical structure and the worktable 220 is the same as the thickness of the card. By setting the distance between the bottom surface of the cylindrical structure and the card conveying device 200 to be the same as the thickness of the card, the card inserting device 100 can dispense only one card at a time between the card inserting device 100 and the card conveying device 200, avoiding card overlap that could affect subsequent processes.

[0112] In one specific embodiment, the length of the cross-section of the card inserting device 100 is the same as the length of the card, and the width is the same as the width of the card; that is, the cross-sectional dimensions of the card inserting device 100 are the same as the dimensions of the card. When the card is placed into the card inserting device 100, the edge of the card fits against the side of the card inserting device 100 to keep the cards neatly arranged and to keep them in the same orientation when they fall.

[0113] In one specific embodiment, the driving module is a cylinder, and the push rod is used to push the metal sheet 240 from the initial position to below the card insertion device 100 under the drive of the cylinder. After pushing out the card between the bottom surface of the card insertion device 100 and the card transmission device 200, it retracts back to the initial position, thereby reciprocating between the initial position and the area below the card insertion device 100.

[0114] In this embodiment, after the push rod pushes out the card from the card insertion device 100, it retracts back to its original position and continues to push out newly dropped cards from the card insertion device 100, and so on, performing a reciprocating motion. Since the detection process of the card detection device 300 and the coding process of the coding device 400 have relatively short cycles, the working cycle of this card packing equipment mainly depends on the reciprocating cycle of the push rod 230. Therefore, the working efficiency of the card packing equipment can be adjusted by adjusting the reciprocating cycle of the push rod.

[0115] In one specific embodiment, the card insertion device 100 includes a card insertion box connected to the control device 900, and the bottom surface of the card insertion box can be opened or closed under the control of the card transmission device 200.

[0116] The card reader is positioned above the transmission surface of the card transmission device 200; when the bottom of the card reader is opened, the bottom of the card reader is the card ejection port.

[0117] In one specific embodiment, the card packing equipment is mounted on a rack platform 800. This facilitates overall relocation and maintenance.

[0118] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 Structural frame of the card packing equipment provided in the embodiments of the present invention Figure 2 , Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating the operation of a card packing device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. In one specific embodiment, the card packing device includes a control device 900, a card insertion device 100, a card detection device 300, a vision device 500, a coding device 400, and a packing device 700. Figure 5As shown, taking the highway composite toll card as an example, the workflow of this device is as follows: The operator places the tested cards into the card device 100, activates the operation switch, and the power module 210 of the card transmission device 200 drives the push rod to work. The push rod drives the metal sheet to move the highway composite toll card on the worktable 220 of the card transmission device 200. When the first card is pushed into the vision area, the camera in the vision device 500 acquires the image of the card and sends it to the control device 900. The control device 900 determines whether the card is front or back. If the card is front, it is pushed... When a card is pushed into the detection area, the control device 900 controls the card detection device 300 to identify the card and determine whether it meets the following criteria: the card information can be read, and the batch of the chip built into the card is consistent with the batch of a preset chip. A detection result is generated and sent to the control device 900. Based on the detection result, the control device 900 controls the coding device 400 to code cards that meet the above criteria. Cards that do not meet the above criteria are sent to the rejection area and rejected by the rejection device 600 under the control of the control device 900. The coded cards are then packed into boxes by the packing device 700. If the card is pushed out with its back facing up, the control device 900 controls the card detection device 300 not to perform card reading detection and the coding device 400 not to perform coding. After the card is sent to the rejection area, the control device 900 controls the rejection device 600 to reject the card. When the card receiving box 720 is full, the control device 900 controls the printing device to print the identification information of all the cards in the box onto the self-adhesive sticker. The operator takes the card receiving box 720 away to seal and label it. At the same time, a new card receiving box 720 is installed in the packing module to continue working. Thus, the entire process of card reading, coding, and packing is repeated continuously.

[0119] The card packing equipment provided in this embodiment has a compact overall structure, occupies little space, and is easy and simple to operate, which not only reduces the probability of errors but also improves production efficiency.

[0120] See Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating a card packing method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The present invention provides a card packing method, which includes:

[0121] According to the start command, the control device 900 controls the card input device 100 to output the card to the transmission device;

[0122] The control device 900 controls the card transfer device 200 to drive the card to move along the transfer direction to the detection area of ​​the card detection device 300;

[0123] Based on the card reading result of the card detection device 300, the control device 900 controls the coding device 400 to perform a coding operation on the cards in the detection area.
