[0024] The present invention is further described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Through these descriptions, the characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become clearer and more specific. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

[0025] In the description of the present invention, it is to be understood that the terms “center”, “longitudinal”, “lateral”, “length”, “width”, “thickness”, “up”, “down”, “front”, “back”, “left”, “right”, “vertical”, “horizontal”, “top”, “bottom”, “inside”, “outside”, “clockwise”, “counterclockwise”, “axial”, “radial”, “circumferential”, etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0026] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention discloses a card flipping device driven by a single motor, including an outer frame 2 and a flipping assembly, wherein the outer frame is provided with a fixed gear 5, and the flipping assembly includes an inner frame 14, a card-moving rubber wheel 9, a motor 11, a driving gear 13, a swinging gear 12, a card-moving gear 7 and a synchronous belt 17, wherein the inner frame is rotatably assembled with the outer frame through an inner frame rotating shaft 3, and a card inlet and outlet channel 8 is provided on the inner frame, and the card-moving rubber wheel is installed in parallel along the card inlet and outlet channel, and multiple card-moving rubber wheels are synchronously rotated through a synchronous belt, and the card-moving gear is coaxially installed with one of the card-moving rubber wheels, and more specifically, the card-moving rubber wheel is rotatably assembled with the inner frame through a card-moving rubber wheel rotating shaft 10, and one end of all the card-moving rubber wheel rotating shafts are connected through a synchronous belt, and a card-moving gear is installed at the other end of one of the card-moving rubber wheel rotating shafts; when the synchronous belt is installed, a corresponding pulley is provided. Preferably, the motor is arranged on the upper side of the card-moving rubber wheel, which is conducive to improving the compactness of the overall structural layout. It can be understood that: the card-carrying rubber wheels are usually installed in the form of a pair of rollers, and the card passes between the pair of rollers, which is conducive to ensuring the stability of transmission.

[0028] The driving gear is installed at the output end of the motor, and a swing arm 6 is also fixedly installed at the output end of the motor. A swing gear is installed on the swing arm. The driving gear meshes with the swing gear. The motor drives the swing arm to swing, so that the swing gear meshes with the card-moving gear or the fixed gear.

[0029] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the outer frame is provided with a flip assembly position sensor 1, and the inner frame is provided with a position sensing baffle 15 used in conjunction with the flip assembly position sensor. In this embodiment, flip assembly position sensors are provided on both the left and right sides of the outer frame; each time the flip assembly flips 180 degrees, the position sensing baffle alternately cooperates with the two flip assembly position sensors, so that feedback can be given on the flipping degree of the flip assembly.

[0030] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a rotation damper 4 is provided at the position where the outer frame and the inner frame shaft are assembled. During the rotation of the flip assembly as a whole around the inner frame shaft, the rotation damper is used to fix any angle.

[0031] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a card position sensor 16 is provided on the inner frame; in this embodiment, card position sensors are provided on both the left and right sides of the inner frame. The card position sensor is used to provide feedback on the card transmission position.

[0032] In addition, it also includes a main control board, which is electrically connected to the motor, the flip assembly position sensor, and the card position sensor, respectively, so as to realize the coordinated control of card transmission and flipping.

[0033] The following is a detailed description of the working process:

[0034] Flip assembly flip: motor rotates counterclockwise (refer to Figure 5 ), driving the swing arm to rotate counterclockwise, and the swing gear meshes with the fixed gear. The motor continues to rotate counterclockwise, and the swing gear rotates clockwise. Since the fixed gear is fixed, the reverse force drives the swing gear to drive the flip assembly to rotate clockwise (refer to Figure 6 ), when the flip assembly position sensor on the right side senses the position sensing baffle on the inner frame, the motor stops rotating and the flip assembly flips 180 degrees (reference Figure 7 ). By using the motor step counting method, it can also achieve any angle flipping.

[0035] The card moves to the left: the motor rotates clockwise, driving the swing arm to rotate clockwise, and the swing gear meshes with the card moving gear. The motor continues to rotate clockwise, the swing gear rotates counterclockwise, driving the card moving gear to rotate clockwise, and synchronously driving the card moving rubber wheel to rotate clockwise, which can drive the card to move to the left (refer to Figure 8 ).

[0036] 3 Card moves to the right: Flip the flip component 180 degrees, and the other actions are the same as the card moves to the left (refer to Fig. 9 ) to move the card to the right.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the present invention, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
