Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of smart card manufacturing, and in particular to smart card customization equipment and a detection method. Background Art

[0002] In smart card customization equipment, after the data is written into the smart card by the data writing device, it needs to be customized, that is, customized printing is performed according to user needs. After printing, the smart card usually needs to be laminated to improve the durability and aesthetics of the card. Lamination is a key process, and its quality and efficiency directly affect the quality and production efficiency of the final product. However, in actual applications, the lamination process of smart cards often faces a series of challenges.

[0003] First, the patterns and text printed on the surface of smart cards may contain multiple colors and complex design elements, which requires the laminating material to be able to perfectly fit the card surface without affecting the original printing effect. At the same time, the selection of laminating materials also needs to take into account its transparency, wear resistance, scratch resistance and other properties to ensure that the card can maintain a good appearance and durability during use.

[0004] Secondly, the temperature and pressure control during the lamination process is also crucial. Too high a temperature or too high a pressure may cause deformation or blistering of the laminating material, while too low a temperature or insufficient pressure may cause the laminating material to not fit tightly to the card surface, resulting in bubbles or wrinkles. Therefore, the temperature and pressure parameters of the laminating equipment need to be precisely controlled to achieve high-quality lamination results.

[0005] In addition, with the increasing demand for smart card customization, production efficiency and cost control have also become the focus of enterprises. Traditional lamination methods often require manual operation, which is not only inefficient but also prone to errors. Therefore, developing a smart card customization device that can automatically complete the lamination operation is of great significance to improving production efficiency and reducing costs.

[0006] Chinese patent publication number CN206363353U discloses a smart card manufacturing device, including a frame, a card feeding mechanism installed in the frame, a first transmission mechanism, a second transmission mechanism, a third transmission mechanism, a data writing device, a printing device, an embossing mechanism and a laminating mechanism; the card feeding mechanism is used to transmit the smart card to the first transmission mechanism; the first transmission mechanism is used to transmit the smart card to the second transmission mechanism; the second transmission mechanism is used to transmit the smart card to the data writing device; the data writing device is used to write data to the smart card and transmit the smart card to the printing device; the second transmission mechanism transmits the smart card to the third transmission mechanism; the third transmission mechanism is used to transmit the smart card to the embossing mechanism; the embossing mechanism is used to punch out embossed text on the smart card on the third transmission mechanism; the third transmission mechanism further transmits the smart card to the laminating mechanism; the laminating mechanism is used to attach a thin film layer to the surface of the smart card on the third transmission mechanism by hot pressing.

[0007] The smart card making device can only coat a single side of the smart card, and the film cannot be separated from the film strip after being attached to the card, and needs to be cut manually, resulting in low production efficiency. Summary of the invention

The laminating mechanism has a film channel through which the smart card can be attached to the surface of the smart card when passing through, and a cutting and pasting component which can punch out and hot-press the film on the surface of the smart card when the smart card passes through the film channel. The working end of the printing mechanism faces the bonding side of the film in the laminating mechanism.

[0013] Preferably, a card ejection section is provided at the card output end of the transmission mechanism toward the laminating mechanism, and the detection mechanism includes visual detection cameras arranged at the top and bottom of the card ejection section. The conveying surface of the card ejection section is transparent, and two visual detection cameras arranged above and below respectively detect the top and bottom surfaces of the smart card.

[0014] Preferably, the card discharging section has an upper conveying surface and a lower conveying surface, the upper conveying surface is flush with the laminating channel, and the lower conveying surface and the upper conveying surface are intermittently matched.

[0018] A detection method for a smart card customization device, which realizes detection through a smart card customization device, comprises the following steps:

[0019] Step 1: The coated smart card passes through the coating channel and falls on the card arrangement section of the transmission mechanism;

[0020] Step 2: The visual inspection cameras at the top and bottom of the card arrangement section take photos of the top and bottom surfaces of the smart card;

[0021] Step 3: The main controller compares the top and bottom images of the smart card with the standard images to determine whether the surface of the smart card is neat and has no bubbles.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] In order to further understand the features, technical means, specific objectives and functions of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this application provides:

[0039] A smart card customization device includes a transmission mechanism, and a card issuing mechanism, a data writing mechanism, a printing mechanism 2, a laminating mechanism, a detection mechanism and a card receiving mechanism which are sequentially arranged on the transmission mechanism along a conveying direction. The laminating mechanism has a film channel 31 which can be attached to the surface of a smart card when the smart card passes through, and a cutting and pasting component 32 which can punch out and hot-press a film on the surface of the smart card when the smart card passes through the film channel 31. The working end of the printing mechanism 2 faces the bonding side of the film in the laminating mechanism. After the printing mechanism 2 sprays a pattern on the bonding side of the film, the cutting and pasting component 32 cuts and pastes the film on the surface of the smart card.

[0040] Before work, blank smart cards are stacked in the card issuing mechanism in advance, and the card issuing mechanism pushes the cards to the feed end of the transmission mechanism in turn. After the blank cards pass through the data writing mechanism, the data writing mechanism writes data on the blank cards, and then the blank cards are sent to the laminating mechanism by the transmission mechanism. In the laminating mechanism, the printing mechanism 2 can spray patterns on the film strip in advance, so that the film strip with the sprayed pattern passes through the film channel 31.

[0041] The smart card is aligned with the pattern on the film strip before entering the film channel 31 until the smart card completely enters the film channel 31 and the pattern is completely aligned with the smart card. When the smart card and the film with the pattern pass through the working end of the cutting and pasting component 32, the cutting and pasting component 32 can cut the film with the pattern from the film strip and hot-press it on the upper and lower surfaces of the card.

[0042] The smart card after hot pressing continues to move until it leaves the film channel 31 and then falls on the transmission mechanism. The detection mechanism detects the surface of the smart card to detect whether its pattern is aligned and whether there are bubbles. When the pattern is not aligned or there are bubbles, a picking mechanism is provided on the transmission mechanism, and defective products can be picked out by the picking mechanism. The picking mechanism includes a mechanical arm and a suction cup arranged at the end of the mechanical arm, which can take the defective products out of the transmission mechanism, and the good smart card oil collecting mechanism collects and stacks them.

[0043] The smart card production device in this embodiment realizes the automatic operation of double-sided lamination of the smart card by combining the function of the cutting and pasting mechanism during the process of sending the smart card through the film channel 31. Specifically, when the smart card smoothly passes through the film channel 31 along the set track, the cutting and pasting mechanism will first cut the film of corresponding size from the film strip, and at the same time, it can accurately attach the cut film to the top and bottom surfaces of the smart card. In this process, the cutting and pasting mechanism ensures the close fit between the film and the smart card by accurately controlling the film's pasting position and angle, and does not cause bubbles or misalignment.

[0044] Through this double-sided lamination method, this embodiment successfully solves the problem that the existing smart card production equipment cannot laminat both sides of the smart card at the same time. This not only improves the efficiency of smart card production, but also reduces the difficulty and error rate of manual operation, making the entire production process more automated and intelligent.

[0045] In addition, the cutting and pasting mechanism in this embodiment also has high flexibility and scalability. It can replace film strips with different patterns and colors according to different needs, so as to produce smart cards with personalized characteristics. This feature makes the smart card production device of this embodiment more competitive in the market and can meet the needs of more consumers.

[0046] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the film channel 31 has two film strips which are parallel to each other. The two film strips move along the conveying direction of the transmission mechanism. The cutting and pasting assembly 32 is arranged on the back side of the two film strips.

[0047] The two film strips move synchronously to the left in the working state. When the smart card enters between the two film strips from the right side, the two film strips can clamp the smart card and move synchronously to the left. During this process, the smart card and the film strips pass between the cutting and pasting components 32, so that the cutting and pasting components 32 can cut the film strips with patterns according to the size of the smart card and hot press them on the upper and lower sides of the smart card until the laminated smart card is completely out of the laminating channel.

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the laminating mechanism further includes an unwinding assembly 33 for unwinding the film material strip raw material, and a winding assembly 34 for winding the film material strip residual material.

[0049] The unwinding assembly 33 and the rewinding assembly 34 can enable the film strip to move stably, the printing mechanism 2 can spray patterns on the film strip, and the rewinding assembly 34 can rewind the remaining film strip, thereby achieving continuous coating.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, a card feeding section 11 is provided at the card input end of the transmission mechanism toward the laminating mechanism, and a card feeding channel 111 is provided at one end of the card feeding section 11 toward the laminating channel. The spacing of the card feeding channels 111 is smaller than the thickness of the smart card, and the smart card is clamped and fed into the laminating channel via the card feeding channel 111.

[0051] To ensure that the smart card can be aligned with the pattern on the film when it enters the laminating channel, the card feeding section 11 of the transmission mechanism can clamp the smart card and send it to the laminating channel, so that the smart card can be moved by the card feeding channel 111 with a spacing smaller than its thickness. The smart card cannot slide in the card feeding channel 111, thereby ensuring that the smart card can be aligned with the pattern on the film.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, a card ejection section 12 is provided at the card output end of the transmission mechanism toward the laminating mechanism, and the detection mechanism includes visual detection cameras 41 arranged at the top and bottom of the card ejection section 12. The conveying surface of the card ejection section 12 is transparent, and the two visual detection cameras 41 arranged above and below respectively detect the top and bottom surfaces of the smart card.

[0053] In order to detect whether the patterns on the coated smart cards are aligned, the laminating mechanism sends the smart cards into the card arranging section 12 of the transmission mechanism. The card arranging section 12 can drive the smart cards to move horizontally. Since the conveying surface of the card arranging section 12 is transparent, the two visual inspection cameras 41 installed at the top and bottom of the card arranging section 12 can take pictures of the top and bottom surfaces of the smart cards respectively, and transmit the image information to the main controller, which compares the real-time image information with the standard image information to determine whether there are defective products.

[0054] like Figure 1As shown, the card discharging section 12 has an upper conveying surface and a lower conveying surface, the upper conveying surface is flush with the laminating channel, and the lower conveying surface and the upper conveying surface are intermittently matched.

[0055] When the transparent lower conveying surface of the card arranging section 12 is gap-matched with the transparent upper conveying surface, the visual detection camera 41 located at the bottom of the lower conveying surface can capture the image of the smart card surface more clearly, thereby improving the detection accuracy.

[0056] like Figure 6 As shown, the cutting and pasting assembly 32 includes two clamping wheels 321 rotatably arranged at the top and bottom ends of the laminating channel, and the outer circumferential surface of the clamping wheel 321 is provided with a hot pressing area 3211 corresponding to the smart card along its circumference, and a punching knife 322 is arranged at the edge of the hot pressing area 3211. After the two hot pressing areas 3211 clamp the card at the outside of the laminating channel and rotate in the opposite direction, the film is punched and hot-pressed on the top and bottom surfaces of the smart card.

[0057] When the two clamping wheels 321 rotate coaxially and in opposite directions, the punching knife 322 on the top clamping wheel 321 rotates along its circumference, so that the punching knife 322 can roll on the film strip and make the punching knife 322 abut against the circumferential surface of the bottom clamping wheel 321, so as to cut the film from the film strip 311, and at the same time, the hot pressing area 3211 can hot press the cut film onto the smart card.

[0058] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the hot pressing zone 3211 is distributed in the form of fan-shaped grooves on the circumferential surface of the clamping wheel 321, a heating element 323 is arranged in the hot pressing zone 3211, and an elastic abutment component distributed along its circumference is arranged in the hot pressing zone 3211, the outer end of the elastic abutment component has a hot pressing arc surface that can move radially along the clamping wheel 321, and the hot pressing arc surface can elastically abut against the surface of the smart card from the outside of the film strip.

[0059] The elastic abutment assembly includes a positioning frame 3241 and an arc-shaped strip 3242. The positioning frame 3241 is distributed circumferentially in the hot pressing zone 3211. A positioning rod 3243 arranged along its length direction is provided at one end of the positioning frame 3241 away from the axis of the clamping wheel 321. The positioning rod 3243 extends radially along the clamping wheel 321. The arc-shaped strip 3242 is distributed circumferentially in the hot pressing zone 3211. A bending frame is provided on the inner side of the arc-shaped strip 3242. The positioning rod 3243 slides through the bending frame. A spring 3245 is also sleeved on the positioning rod 3243. The spring 3245 is located between the bending frame and the positioning frame 3241. A limiting strip 3246 is also provided at the end of the positioning rod 3243 to prevent the bending frame from detaching from the positioning rod 3243 under the action of the elastic force of the spring 3245.

[0060] When the clamping wheel 321 rotates, the hot pressing arc surface of the elastic abutment component can move radially along the clamping wheel 321, so that the hot pressing arc surface can elastically abut against the outside of the film hopper, and the elastic abutment components distributed circumferentially in the hot pressing zone 3211 can evenly abut the film.

[0061] like Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, an elastic force adjustment component is also provided in the hot pressing zone 3211, and the elastic force adjustment component is transmission-connected with the elastic abutment component, and the elastic force adjustment component is used to adjust the pressure of the hot pressing arc on the film strip.

[0062] The positioning frame 3241 is radially slidably arranged in the hot pressing zone 3211, and the elastic force adjustment component includes a first connecting seat 3251, a second connecting seat 3252, a bidirectional screw rod 3253, a first connecting rod 3254, a second connecting rod 3255, a gear 3256, an inner gear ring 3257 and a positioning bolt 3258. The first connecting seat 3251 and the second connecting seat 3252 are slidably arranged in the hot pressing zone 3211 in opposite directions or opposite directions. The first connecting seat 3251 and the second connecting seat 3252 can slide along the axial direction of the clamping wheel 321, and the two ends of the bidirectional screw rod 3253 respectively penetrate the first connecting seat 3251 and the second connecting seat 3252 and is threadedly connected thereto, two ends of the first connecting rod 3254 are rotatably connected to the first connecting seat 3251 and one end of the positioning frame 3241 respectively, and two ends of the second connecting rod 3255 are rotatably connected to the second connecting seat 3252 and the other end of the positioning frame 3241 respectively; the gear 3256 is coaxially fixedly arranged at the other end of the two-way screw rod 3253, and the inner ring gear 3257 is coaxially rotatably arranged at one end of the clamping wheel 321, the gear 3256 is meshed with the inner ring gear 3257, and the inner ring gear 3257 is provided with an arc-shaped through groove coaxial therewith, and the positioning bolt 3258 passes through the arc-shaped through groove and is threadedly connected to the clamping wheel 321.

[0063] When it is necessary to adjust the pressure of the elastic abutment assembly on the film strip, rotate the bidirectional screw 3253 so that the first connecting seat 3251 and the second connecting seat 3252 can move relative to or back to back, and then drive the positioning frame 3241 to move radially along the clamping roller through the first connecting rod 3254 and the second connecting rod 3255, so as to adjust the distance between the positioning frame 3241 and the bending frame.

[0064] When the pressure requirement for the film strip changes during the production process and the pressure applied by the elastic abutment component needs to be adjusted, a bidirectional screw rod 3253 is used, which has the function of bidirectional rotation and provides a convenient operation method for adjustment.

[0065] During the adjustment process, the screw rod is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise according to actual needs. As the screw rod rotates, the threads at both ends of the screw rod will push the first connection seat 3251 and the second connection seat 3252 connected thereto to move accordingly. This movement is relative, that is, when the connection seat on one side approaches the center of the screw rod, the connection seat on the other side will move away from the center of the screw rod, and vice versa.

[0066] The movement of the connecting seat is not isolated, and they are closely connected to the positioning frame 3241 through the first connecting rod 3254 and the second connecting rod 3255. When the connecting seat moves, the connecting rod will change its angle accordingly, and this change will be converted into a linear movement of the positioning frame 3241 along the radial direction of the clamping roller. In this way, the positioning frame 3241 can be accurately adjusted in displacement according to needs.

[0067] The movement of the positioning frame 3241 directly affects the distance between it and the bending frame. When the positioning frame 3241 is close to the bending frame, the distance between the two is reduced, so that the pressure of the elastic abutment component on the film strip increases; conversely, when the positioning frame 3241 is away from the bending frame, the distance increases and the pressure decreases. In this way, the pressure of the elastic abutment component on the film strip can be accurately adjusted to meet different production requirements.

[0068] This adjustment mechanism is not only easy to operate but also has high adjustment accuracy, which can ensure that the film strip is always subjected to appropriate pressure during the smart card production process, thereby ensuring the quality and stability of the final product.

[0069] In order to synchronously adjust the pressure of the elastic abutment assembly in the circumferentially distributed hot pressing zone 3211 on the film, the positioning bolt 3258 is loosened so that the inner gear ring 3257 can rotate a certain angle, and then the inner gear ring 3257 can rotate with all the gears 3256. The gears 3256 can drive the bidirectional screw 3253 to rotate, thereby adjusting the pressure of the elastic abutment assembly on the film and the smart card.

[0070] A detection method for a smart card customization device, which realizes detection through a smart card customization device, comprises the following steps:

[0071] Step 1: The coated smart card passes through the coating channel and falls on the card arrangement section 12 of the transmission mechanism;

[0072] Step 2: The visual inspection cameras 41 at the top and bottom of the card arrangement section 12 take photos of the top and bottom surfaces of the smart card;

[0073] Step 3: The main controller compares the top and bottom images of the smart card with the standard images to determine whether the surface of the smart card is neat and has no bubbles.

[0074] The above embodiments only express one or several implementation modes of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for those of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
