[0036] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to or indirectly connected to that other component.

[0038] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0039] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0040] like Figures 1-12 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a card embossing and hot stamping device. The card embossing and hot stamping device includes: a base 1, a card conveying mechanism 2 disposed on the base 1, an embossing device 3, a hot stamping device 4, and a flipping assembly 5.

[0041] The flipping component 5 is mounted on the base and located on the card feeding side of the card conveying mechanism 2. This component enables vertical card feeding and horizontal card output; the card can be vertically inserted into the flipping component 5 and then horizontally conveyed to the card conveying mechanism 2. The flipping component 5 enhances the application scenarios of the card-making equipment. The card conveying mechanism 2 and the embossing device 3 are arranged along the Y-axis, while the card conveying mechanism 2 and the embossed character hot stamping device 4 are arranged along the X-axis. The card conveying mechanism 2 reciprocates along the Y-axis, delivering the card to the embossing device 3 for embossing and hot stamping. The card conveying mechanism feeds the card along the X-axis, allowing the embossed card to be delivered to the embossed character hot stamping device 4 for hot stamping. The card conveying mechanism 2 organically integrates the embossing device 3 and the embossed character hot stamping device 4.

[0042] like Figures 1-3As shown, the card conveying mechanism 2 includes: a Y-axis guide rail 21 mounted on the base 1; a main support 22 mounted on the Y-axis guide rail 21; a first card-rubbing wheel group 23 and a second card-rubbing wheel group 24 arranged at intervals along the X-axis on the main support 22; a drive mechanism 25 for driving the first card-rubbing wheel group 23 and the second card-rubbing wheel group 24 to rotate; and a lead screw assembly 26 for driving the main support 22 to reciprocate on the Y-axis guide rail 21. The main support 22 can reciprocate on the Y-axis guide rail 21, thereby moving closer to or further away from the embossing device 3, realizing the delivery of cards to the embossing device 3 and the transfer of cards from the embossing device 3 to the hot stamping device 4; of course, when the card feeding direction of the card conveying mechanism 2 is reversed, the cards can also be transferred from the hot stamping device 4 to the embossing device 3.

[0043] In this embodiment, the card conveying mechanism 2 has a correction function. Specifically, both the first card-rubbing roller group 23 and the second card-rubbing roller group 24 include an upper card-rubbing roller 231 and a lower card-rubbing roller 232. The upper card-rubbing roller 231 includes a cylindrical side portion and a conical side portion, wherein the cylindrical side portion is located at the end of the upper card-rubbing roller 231 away from the main support 22, and the lower card-rubbing roller 232 is entirely cylindrical. When the first card-rubbing roller group 23 repeatedly rotates forward and backward, it can automatically correct the card deviation.

[0044] In this system, the upper roller 231 and lower roller 232 of the first roller assembly 23 are rotatably mounted on the main support 22 via a first shaft and a second shaft, respectively. Similarly, the upper roller 231 and lower roller 232 of the second roller assembly 24 are rotatably mounted on the main support 22 via a third shaft and a fourth shaft, respectively. The drive mechanism 25 includes: gears 251 mounted on the first shaft, second shaft, third shaft, and fourth shaft, respectively, with the gears 251 located on the outer side of the main support 22 and the upper roller 231 and lower roller 232 located on the inner side of the main support 22; a roller motor 252 mounted on the main support 22; and a synchronous belt 253 connecting the roller motor 252, the second shaft, and the fourth shaft. The gears 251 on the first shaft and the second shaft mesh with each other, as do the gears 251 on the third shaft and the fourth shaft. Synchronous pulleys are provided on the output shafts of the second shaft, the fourth shaft, and the roller motor 252 for engagement with the synchronous belt 253. In this way, the forward and reverse rotation of the card-rubbing motor 252 can simultaneously realize the forward and reverse rotation of the first card-rubbing wheel group 23 and the second card-rubbing wheel group 24. When the first card-rubbing wheel group 23 repeatedly rotates forward and reverses, it can correct the deviation of the clamped card.

[0045] The lead screw assembly 26 includes a Y-axis drive motor 261 mounted on the base 1, a lead screw 262 connected to the Y-axis drive motor 261, and a lead screw nut 263 fixed to the main support 22 and threadedly connected to the lead screw 262. When the Y-axis drive motor 261 rotates forward and backward, the lead screw 262 pulls or pushes the main support 22 to reciprocate on the Y-axis guide rail 21, thereby realizing the reciprocating translation of the card conveying mechanism 2 along the Y-axis direction.

[0046] In this embodiment, the cylindrical portion of the upper treading roller 231 is tangent to the cylindrical portion of the lower treading roller 232. The hardness of the upper treading roller 231 is lower than that of the lower treading roller 232, and the hardness of the lower treading roller 232 is lower than that of the card. When the card enters between the upper and lower treading rollers 231 and 232, the rollers deform and clamp the card, thus enabling the card to be transported along the X-axis. Specifically, the upper and lower treading rollers 231 and 232 repeatedly rotate forward and backward. After several reciprocating movements of the card, due to the different shapes and hardnesses of the rollers, the friction between the rollers and the card is uneven. This eventually causes the card to move closer to the side plate of the main support, ultimately ensuring the entire side of the card is firmly against the side plate, achieving card correction.

[0047] like Figure 1 , Figures 4-7 As shown, in this embodiment, the embossing device 3 includes: a mounting frame 31 fixed on the base 1, a character disk assembly 32, an upper striking device 33, a lower striking device 34, an embossed character ribbon box 35, and an embossed character ribbon detection and conveying device 36, all mounted on the mounting frame 31. The character disk assembly 32 has a conventional structure, including an upper character disk 321 and a lower character disk 322 rotatably mounted on a coaxial axis, with corresponding character keys evenly distributed along the edges of the upper and lower character disks 321 and 322. The upper striking device 33 and the lower striking device 34 are respectively positioned corresponding to the upper and lower character disks 321 and 322.

[0048] The upper striking device 33 and the lower striking device 34 have the same structure, both including: a striking motor 341, a cam 342, a swing rod 343, a striking rod 344, a pin 345, and a guide member 346. The swing rod 343 is rotatably mounted in the middle, allowing it to swing up and down around its center. The striking motor 341 drives the cam 342 to rotate. The cam 342 is located on one side of the swing rod 343 and drives the swing rod 343 to swing. The striking rod 344 is located at the other end of the swing rod 343. The pin 345 is movably mounted on the guide member 346 and is driven by the striking rod. The striking motor 341 drives the cam 342 to rotate via the transmission belt 347. The eccentric motion of the cam 342 when it rotates drives the swing rod 343 to swing. When the swing rod 343 swings, it drives the striking rod 344 to move up and down. The striking rod 344 then drives the pin 345 to move closer to the character disk, so that the pin 345 presses against the corresponding character key and forms embossed characters on the card.

[0049] In this embodiment, the swing amplitude of the swing lever 343 is determined by the shape and stroke of the cam 342; wherein, the distance from the position where the swing lever 343 contacts the cam 342 to the rotation center of the swing lever 343 is greater than the distance from the rotation center of the swing lever 343 to the contact between the striking lever 344 and the pin 345, this arrangement makes the striking lever 344 have a greater resistance force on the pin 345.

[0050] In this embodiment, the striking rod 344 is screwed onto the swing rod 343, which allows adjustment of the distance between the striking rod 344 and the pin 345, thereby adjusting the movement of the pin 345.

[0051] In this embodiment, the concave character ribbon detection and conveying device 36 includes a ribbon cassette support 361, a Y-axis moving motor 362, a ribbon cassette Y-axis guide rail 36321, a ribbon recycling assembly 364, and a ribbon detection assembly 365. The concave character ribbon cassette 35 is fixed on the ribbon cassette support 361, and the ribbon cassette support 361 is fixed on the ribbon cassette Y-axis guide rail 36321. The lead screw 262 of the Y-axis moving motor 362 is connected to the ribbon cassette support 361. The ribbon recycling assembly 364 and the ribbon detection assembly 365 are mounted on the ribbon cassette support 361. The Y-axis moving motor 362 and the lead screw 262 can drive the ribbon cassette support 361 to reciprocate in the Y-axis direction, thereby driving the concave character ribbon cassette 35 to move in the Y-axis direction. This allows the concave character ribbon to be moved to a designated position during the production of concave characters, enabling simultaneous concave character printing. The ribbon recycling component 364 and the ribbon detection component 365 are used for the recycling and detection of concave lettering ribbons, which is a conventional technology.

[0052] like Figures 8-10As shown, in this embodiment, the embossed character hot stamping device 4 includes: a mounting bracket 41, a card feeding assembly 42 mounted on the mounting bracket 41, a ribbon winding assembly 43, and a ribbon pressing and stamping assembly 44. The card feeding assembly 42 has its card feeding direction aligned with the card output direction of the card conveying assembly, and is used to receive the card. The card feeding assembly 42 includes two sets of conveyor rollers 421 spaced apart and a conveyor motor 422; the two sets of conveyor rollers 421 are connected by a belt assembly 423, and the two conveyor rollers of one set of conveyor rollers 421 are driven by gear meshing. The conveyor motor 422 is connected to one of the conveyor rollers. The structure of the upper and lower conveyor rollers of the conveyor roller set 421 is the same as the structure of the upper and lower card-rubbing rollers 231 and 232 of the first card-rubbing roller set 23. Thus, the card feeding assembly 42 also has a card correction function.

[0053] In this embodiment, the ribbon winding assembly 43 includes an unwinding drum 431, a take-up drum 432, a take-up gear 433251, a drive shaft 434, and a take-up motor 435. The unwinding drum 431 and the take-up drum 432 are driven and mounted via the drive shaft 434. The drive shaft 434 is provided with a first hexagonal fixing member 436, and the unwinding drum 431 or the take-up drum 432 is provided with a second hexagonal hole fixing member 437. The first hexagonal fixing member 436 and the second hexagonal hole fixing member 437 are fitted together. The structure of the first hexagonal fixing member 436 and the second hexagonal hole fixing member 437 can prevent the unwinding drum 431 or the take-up drum 432 from slipping. As for the other structures of the embossed character hot stamping device 4, please refer to the patent application No. 2024216481072, which will not be described again here.

[0054] like Figure 1 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the flipping assembly includes two parallel vertical plates 51, vertical guide grooves 52 on the inner sides of the two vertical plates 51, and a first card-carrying roller group 53. A flipping frame 54 is rotatably disposed in the middle of the two vertical plates 51. A second card-carrying roller group 55 and a third card-carrying roller group 56 are spaced apart on the flipping frame 54. When the flipping frame 54 is in a vertical state, the second card-carrying roller group 55 and the third card-carrying roller group 56 are aligned with the vertical guide grooves 52, which facilitates the guidance of vertically inserted cards onto the flipping frame 54. When the flipping frame 54 is in a horizontal state, the second card-carrying roller group 55 and the third card-carrying roller group 56 are horizontally aligned with the first card-carrying roller group and the second card-carrying roller group, which facilitates the transport of cards on the flipping frame 54 to the card conveying mechanism 2. Conversely, cards on the card conveying mechanism 2 can be transported to the flipping frame 54. After the flipping frame 54 rotates 90°, it transports the cards to the first card-carrying roller group 53 and finally delivers them out.

[0055] Specifically, two vertical guide grooves 52 are provided to guide the two sides of the card. The first card-carrying roller group 53 is used for vertical clamping and conveying of the card. The flipping frame 54 can rotate freely 360° and has a rectangular frame structure. The second card-carrying roller group 55 and the third card-carrying roller group 56 are used to clamp and convey the card. The two vertical plates 51 are connected by two upper crossbeams and two lower crossbeams. The upper two crossbeams are equipped with upper feed detection sensors 59 to detect whether the card is inserted into the first card-carrying roller group 53. The lower crossbeam is equipped with a lower card detection sensor 510 to detect whether a card is transferred to the flipping frame 54 when the flipping frame 54 is in a vertical state. The middle of the vertical plate 51 is equipped with a horizontal card detection sensor 512 to detect whether a card is on the flipping frame 54 when the flipping frame 54 is in a horizontal state.

[0056] In this embodiment, the vertical plate 51 is provided with a card-moving drive motor 57 and a flipping drive motor 58. The card-moving drive motor 57 is connected to the first card-moving roller group 53, the second card-moving roller group 55 and the third card-moving roller group 56 through several gear sets to realize its rotation and card-moving. The flipping drive motor 58 is used to drive the flipping frame 54 to rotate. The vertical plate 51 is provided with a flipping position detection sensor 511 to position the flipping frame 54 in a horizontal or vertical position.

[0057] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
