When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9The present invention proposes a cyclic card issuing device 100, which comprises: a housing 10, wherein the housing 10 is provided with a card bin 11, a card channel 12 and a card outlet 13 which are connected in sequence; a card blocking mechanism 20, wherein the card blocking mechanism 20 is movably connected to the housing 10 and is located at the card channel 12; a card ejecting mechanism 30, wherein the card ejecting mechanism 30 is movably connected to the housing 10 and is located at the card bin 11; and a driving mechanism 40, wherein the driving mechanism 40 is connected to the housing 10, and the card ejecting mechanism 30 is connected to the driving end of the driving mechanism 40; wherein the cyclic card issuing device 100 has a card ejecting state, a card recycling state, and a card ejecting state. state and returning to the warehouse state; in the card output state, the driving mechanism 40 drives the card push mechanism 30 to withdraw from the card warehouse 11, the card push mechanism 30 is abutted against the card blocking mechanism 20, and the card blocking mechanism 20 withdraws from the card channel 12; in the recovery state, the driving mechanism 40 drives the card push mechanism 30 to extend into the card warehouse 11, and the card blocking mechanism 20 extends into the card channel 12; in the returning to the warehouse state, the card 200 is located in the card channel 12 near the card blocking mechanism 20, the driving mechanism 40 drives the card push mechanism 30 to extend into the card warehouse 11, and the card blocking mechanism 20 is located outside the card channel 12.

[0035] Specifically, the circulating card issuing device 100 includes a shell 10, a card blocking mechanism 20, a card pushing mechanism 30 and a driving mechanism 40. The shell 10 is used to protect and install internal components. The shell 10 is provided with a card magazine 11, and the card magazine 11 is used to store the card 200. When the card needs to be taken out, the card 200 moves from the card magazine 11 to the card channel 12, and finally is taken out from the card outlet 13.

[0036] The driving mechanism 40 is used to drive the card ejecting mechanism 30 to move so that the card ejecting mechanism 30 extends into or withdraws from the card passage 12 . Meanwhile, in the card ejecting state, the card ejecting mechanism 30 can abut against the card blocking mechanism 20 so that the card blocking mechanism 20 withdraws from the card passage 12 .

[0037] The circular card issuing device 100 has a card output state, a recovery state and a return state. In the card output state, the card ejecting mechanism 30 is driven by the driving mechanism 40 to exit the card bin 11. At this time, the card ejecting mechanism 30 is held against the card blocking mechanism 20. The card blocking mechanism 20 follows the withdrawal of the card ejecting mechanism 30 and also exits the card passage 12. Therefore, the card 200 can be smoothly ejected from the card bin 11 along the card passage 12 through the card output port 13 without being blocked. In the recovery state, the card ejecting mechanism 30 is driven by the driving mechanism 40 to extend into the card bin 11, and the card blocking mechanism 20 also extends into the card passage 12. Under the action of the card blocking mechanism 20, the card 200 falls into the recovery box 70 at the bottom to be recovered. In the returning state, when the card 200 moves to a position in the card channel 12 close to the card blocking mechanism 20, the driving mechanism 40 drives the card lifting mechanism 30 to extend into the card bin 11 to lift the card 200 in the card bin 11. At this time, the card 200 can be supported on the card blocking mechanism 20, so that the card blocking mechanism 20 cannot enter the card channel 12. The card 200 can enter the card bin 11 from the card channel 12 to return the card, and thus enter the bottom of the card bin 11.

[0038] The blocking mechanism 20 can be movably connected to the shell 10 by being directly placed inside the shell 10 and provided with a support member for support; the blocking mechanism 20 can also be connected through an elastic member; it can also be rotatably connected through a pin shaft; the specific connection method can be set according to the movable connection method of the ejection mechanism 30.

[0039] The ejection mechanism 30 can be movably connected to the housing 10 by rotational connection via a pin shaft, or by support via a support member to achieve a movable connection; the specific connection method can be set according to the movable connection method of the blocking mechanism 20.

[0040] The card push mechanism 30 and the card blocking mechanism 20 can cooperate in the following manner: the card push mechanism 30 is connected to the card blocking mechanism 20, and the card push mechanism 30 can drive the card blocking mechanism 20 to enter or exit the card channel 12; or the card blocking mechanism 20 and the card push mechanism 30 are arranged on the top of the shell 10, and when the card push mechanism 30 enters the card channel 12, the card blocking mechanism also enters the card channel 12 under the action of gravity, and when the card push mechanism 30 exits the card channel 12, it can be abutted against the card blocking mechanism 20 to drive the card blocking mechanism 20 to exit the card channel 12; or an elastic member can be arranged on the card blocking mechanism 20 to keep the card blocking mechanism 20 in the card channel, so that when the card push mechanism 30 exits the card channel 12 in the card out state, it abuts against the card blocking mechanism 20 to drive the card blocking mechanism 20 to exit the card channel 12; the specific cooperation method can be selected according to actual needs.

[0041] In the recovery state, the card 200 is held against the card blocking mechanism 20, and the card blocking mechanism 20 is located outside the card channel 12. The implementation method can be that the card 200 is directly held against the card blocking mechanism 20 by cooperating with the wall of the card channel 12 to avoid the card blocking mechanism 20 extending into the card channel 12; a spring can also be used to connect the card blocking mechanism 20 and a fixed point, and the elasticity of the spring can be used to provide elastic support; a material with a certain elasticity can also be used as a gasket and placed between the card blocking mechanism 20 and the contact surface of the card 200; the card blocking mechanism 20 can also be rotatably connected as follows, and a torsion spring 23 is installed on the shaft, and the torsional characteristics of the torsion spring 23 are used to provide elastic support; the specific implementation method can be selected according to actual needs and will not be repeated here.

[0042] The card 200 enters the card channel 12 through the card outlet 13. When in the warehouse state, the card 200 is located in the card channel 12 near the card blocking mechanism 20. At this time, the position of the card 200 can be detected by setting a sensor, such as a photoelectric sensor, a pressure sensor; or by setting an encoder on the mechanism for transporting the card 200, etc.

[0043] The driving mechanism 40 may be a motor 41 or a cylinder or other mechanism, and the specific structure may be selected according to actual needs.

[0044] Therefore, the action of the card blocking mechanism 20 no longer depends on a separate drive system, but is indirectly controlled by the state change of the card ejecting mechanism 30, which greatly simplifies the drive structure of the card blocking mechanism 20, simplifies the mechanical structure inside the device, reduces the number of parts, and reduces the probability of failure due to mechanical failure due to the reduction in the number and complexity of mechanical parts. The three functions of card output, card collection and card return can be controlled by the drive mechanism 40 at the same time, which can ensure that the coordination between the three actions is more accurate and avoid the synchronization error that may occur in the traditional design; the card ejecting mechanism 30 is allowed to immediately switch to the card output state after completing the card 200 ejection state, and the card blocking mechanism 20 will follow the card exit channel 12 at this time, which provides a guarantee for the smooth output of the card 200. The linkage design of the card ejecting mechanism 30 and the card blocking mechanism 20 allows the device to quickly switch between the card output state, the recovery state and the warehouse return state, shortening the card 200 processing time, thereby improving the operation efficiency of the entire device.

[0045] The technical solution of the present invention is to make the card ejecting mechanism 30 contact with the card blocking mechanism 20. When the driving mechanism 40 drives the card ejecting mechanism 30 to move, the card blocking mechanism 20 can be controlled accordingly to complete the three functions of the card output state, the recovery state and the storage state. In the card output state, the driving mechanism 40 drives the card ejecting mechanism 30 to withdraw from the card channel 12, and the card blocking mechanism 20 also follows the withdrawal action of the card ejecting mechanism 30 to withdraw from the card channel 12, and the card 200 can smoothly pass through the card channel 12 and be sent out from the card output port 13; in the recovery state, the driving mechanism 40 drives the card ejecting mechanism 30 to extend into the card channel 12, and the card blocking mechanism 20 also follows the extension action of the card ejecting mechanism 30 to extend into the card channel 12, and the card 200 cannot return to the card bin 11 under the action of the card blocking mechanism 20, so as to fall into the recovery bin 7 below 0; in the returning state, the driving mechanism 40 drives the card pushing mechanism 30 to extend into the card channel 12, and the card pushing mechanism 30 pushes up the card 200 in the card bin 11. Since the card 200 is located in the card channel 12 near the card blocking mechanism 20 at this time, the card blocking mechanism 20 cannot enter the card channel 12 under the resistance of the card 200, and the card 20 can smoothly enter the card bin 11; the card pushing mechanism 30 and the card blocking mechanism 20 form a linkage, and the state change of the card blocking mechanism 20 is indirectly controlled by the state change of the card pushing mechanism 30, which reduces the number of parts independently driven by the card blocking mechanism 20, making the overall structure more compact and simple, and two functional components can be controlled by one driving mechanism 40, which not only maintains the basic functions of the equipment, but also reduces the number of parts and components, and reduces the complexity of manufacturing and assembly.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present invention, the card blocking mechanism 20 is rotatably connected to the shell 10 and partially extends into the card channel 12; the card ejection mechanism 30 is rotatably connected to the shell 10, and the card ejection mechanism 30 is provided with a card ejection end 3221 and a supporting end 3231; in the card ejection state, the card ejection end 3221 withdraws from the card channel 12, and the supporting end 3231 abuts against the card blocking mechanism 20, and causes the card blocking mechanism 20 to withdraw from the card channel 12; in the recovery state, the card ejection end 3221 is in contact with the card ejection end 3231, and the card ejection end 3231 is in contact with the card blocking mechanism 20, and causes the card blocking mechanism 20 to withdraw from the card channel 12; in the recovery state, the card ejection end 3221 is in contact with the card ejection end 3231, and causes the card ejection end 3231 to withdraw from the card channel 12. The end 3221 extends into the card channel 12, the supporting end 3231 is disengaged from the card blocking mechanism 20, and the card 20 extends into the card channel 12; in the storage state, the card 200 is located in the card channel 12 close to the card blocking mechanism 20, the top card end 3221 extends into the card channel 12, the supporting end 3231 is disengaged from the card blocking mechanism 20, and the card 200 stops the card blocking mechanism 20 so that the card blocking mechanism 20 is located outside the card channel 12.

[0047] In detail, Figure 4The card blocking mechanism 20 is rotatably connected to the shell body 10, and the card push mechanism 30 is also rotatably connected to the shell body 10. The abutting end 3231 of the card push mechanism 30 is used to abut against one end of the card blocking mechanism 20. Therefore, when in use, the card push mechanism 30 can control the card blocking mechanism 20 to extend into or out of the card channel 12 through its abutting end 3231.

[0048] The card blocking mechanism 20 is configured to be pre-extended into the card passage 12 , and this configuration may be achieved by providing a spring between the card blocking mechanism 20 and a fixed point, or by providing a torsion spring 23 on the card blocking mechanism 20 .

[0049] In the card output state, the card blocking mechanism 20 is controlled by the abutting end 3231, so that the card blocking mechanism 20 withdraws from the card channel 12; in the recovery state, the abutting end 3231 is disengaged and controlled, so that the card blocking mechanism 20 returns to the card channel 12; in the return state, when the card 200 moves to a position close to the card blocking mechanism 20 in the card channel 12, the card 200 abuts against the card blocking mechanism 20, so that the card blocking mechanism 20 cannot return to the card channel 12, so that the card 200 can pass through the card channel 12 and enter the card bin 11. At this time, the card pushing mechanism 30 in the card bin 11 has lifted the stored card 200, and the card 200 can smoothly enter the bottom of the card bin 11.

[0050] The specific structures of the card-lifting end 3221 and the abutting end 3231 of the card-lifting mechanism 30 can be set according to actual needs, and can be set as a cylinder, a convex block, a raised convex point, etc. At the same time, a structure that cooperates with the abutting end 3231, such as a baffle, a convex block, etc., can also be set on the card-blocking mechanism 20.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present invention, the top card mechanism 30 includes a transmission member 31 and a supporting member 32, the transmission member 31 is rotatably connected to the shell 10, the supporting member 32 is connected to the transmission member 31, and the transmission member 31 is connected to the driving end of the driving mechanism 40; the supporting member 32 is provided with the top card end 3221 and the supporting end 3231, and the top card end 3221 is arranged opposite to the supporting end 3231.

[0052] In detail, the rotating connection mode of the transmission member 31 allows the ejection card mechanism 30 to be flexibly arranged in the shell 10 to adapt to different installation spaces and layout requirements. Through the rotation of the transmission member 31, the positions of the ejection card end 3221 and the abutment end 3231 can be more accurately controlled to ensure the accuracy and consistency of each action. The design of the transmission member 31 and the abutment member 32 makes the entire ejection card mechanism 30 occupy less space, which is conducive to the overall miniaturization of the equipment and reduces production costs and maintenance costs.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present invention, the supporting member 32 includes a main body 321, a protrusion 322 and a supporting block 323. The protrusion 322 and the supporting block 323 are protruded from the surface of the main body 321 along the opposite ends of the main body 321. The protrusion 322 forms the top card end 3221, and the supporting block 323 forms the supporting end 3231. The side of the protrusion 322 facing the card outlet 13 is provided with a guide inclined surface 3222, and the side of the protrusion 322 facing the card magazine 11 is provided with a top supporting plane 3223.

[0054] It is worth noting that Fig. 9 The protrusion 322 is a card-pushing end 3221, and the abutting block 323 is a abutting end 3231. The protrusion 322 is provided with a guide slope 3222 on the side facing the card outlet 13, which helps the card 200 to smoothly transition when entering the card bin 11 through the card channel 12, reducing the risk of the card 200 getting stuck or blocked. The guide slope 3222 can guide the card 200 to smoothly enter the card bin 11. The protrusion 322 is provided with a top abutting plane 3223 on the side facing the card bin 11, which can provide a stable supporting force to ensure that the card 200 in the card bin 11 will not deviate or tilt when returning to the bin. The design of the top abutting plane 3223 allows the card 200 to be firmly supported, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the card-pushing action.

[0055] The design of the protrusion 322 and the abutting block 323 makes the functional areas of the card-pushing end 3221 and the abutting end 3231 clearly divided, which helps to accurately control the card-pushing and card-blocking actions, ensure the repeatability and consistency of each action, and enhance the user experience. The design of the guiding slope 3222 and the abutting plane 3223 optimizes the contact mode between the card 200 and the abutting member 32, and improves the reliability of the contact.

[0056] In addition, in one embodiment, the wall surface of the abutting block 323 facing the blocking mechanism 20 is an arc-shaped surface 3232. Fig. 9 The support block 323 is provided with an arc surface 3232. Since the card-lifting mechanism 30 is a rotational connection, the arc surface 3232 is provided to evenly distribute the force on a larger contact surface, avoiding deformation or damage caused by excessive local pressure, and can play a guiding role to ensure smoother movement between the support block 323 and the card-blocking mechanism 20, reduce the occurrence of jamming, and help improve the reliability and stability of the device. The arc surface 3232 can reduce the presence of sharp edges and prevent the card-blocking mechanism 20 from being scratched or damaged during movement.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present invention, two protrusions 322 are provided, and the two protrusions 322 are arranged on the main body 321 at intervals along the width direction of the card slot 11 .

[0058] Specifically, the two protrusions 322 can provide more stable support to ensure that the card 200 will not tilt or shift during the card-pushing process. The two protrusions 322 can evenly distribute the force on both sides of the card 200 to avoid deformation or damage of the card 200 caused by single-point force, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the operation.

[0059] The two protrusions 322 are respectively arranged on both sides of the main body 321, which can better guide the card 200 into the card compartment 11, ensure that the position and posture of the card 200 meet the requirements, and improve the operating accuracy of the device. The interval arrangement of the two protrusions 322 makes the structure of the entire abutment member 32 more compact and saves space.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present invention, two avoidance grooves 111 are defined at the bottom of the card slot 11 , and the two protrusions 322 are disposed in the avoidance grooves 111 .

[0061] Detailed, such as Figure 6 By providing the avoidance groove 111, it can be ensured that the protrusion 322 will not collide or interfere with the bottom of the card bin 11 when the card ejection mechanism 30 moves, which helps to protect the structure of the protrusion 322 and the card bin 11. The avoidance groove 111 provides sufficient space for the protrusion 322, making the protrusion 322 smoother during movement and reducing unnecessary resistance and friction.

[0062] At the same time, the avoidance groove 111 can provide accurate positioning for the protrusion 322, ensuring that the protrusion 322 always maintains the correct path and position during movement, which helps to improve the accuracy and consistency of the card ejection and card discharging actions. In the card discharging state, the protrusion 322 can move to the bottom of the card bin 11 through the avoidance groove 111, saving space in the vertical direction, making the entire device more compact and lightweight.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present invention, the transmission member 31 includes a transmission shaft 311 and a transmission wheel 312, the transmission shaft 311 is rotatably connected to the shell 10, and the supporting member 32 and the transmission wheel 312 are both fixedly connected to the transmission shaft 311; the driving mechanism 40 includes a motor 41 and a driving wheel 42, the motor 41 is arranged in the shell 10, and the driving wheel 42 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 41, and the driving wheel 42 is transmission-connected to the transmission wheel 312 via a belt.

[0064] The transmission member 31 can be configured as a gear transmission or a sprocket transmission. Figure 7The transmission member 31 is provided with a transmission shaft 311 and a transmission wheel 312, and the driving mechanism 40 is provided with a motor 41 and a driving wheel 42, and the driving wheel 42 is connected with the transmission wheel 312 through a belt. The overall structure is relatively compact and simple, and occupies a small space. The driving wheel 42 drives the transmission wheel 312 to rotate to achieve multiple functions. The belt drive has a buffering and vibration absorption effect, which can reduce the impact and vibration during the transmission process, make the transmission more stable, and improve the operation stability of the equipment; the motor 41 can achieve precise speed and position control through the controller to ensure the accuracy and consistency of each action, and the response is also relatively fast, low cost, and high efficiency.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present invention, the card blocking mechanism 20 includes a connecting shaft 21 and a blocking card 22, the connecting shaft 21 is fixedly connected to the shell 10, the blocking card 22 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 21, the blocking card 22 is bent and formed to form a blocking end 221 and a top abutting end 222, the top abutting end 222 is arranged close to the card ejecting mechanism 30, and is used to cooperate with the supporting end 3231 of the card ejecting mechanism 30, and the card blocking end 221 is arranged away from the card ejecting mechanism 30; in the card output state, the supporting end 3231 abuts against the top abutting end 222 of the card blocking mechanism 20, and the card blocking end 221 withdraws from the card channel 12.

[0066] Specifically, Figure 6 The blocking card 22 is bent to form a blocking end 221 and a top abutting end 222. In the card-out state, the driving mechanism 40 drives the card-pushing mechanism 30 to rotate, and the card-pushing end 3221 of the card-pushing mechanism 30 exits the card channel 12, and the abutting end 3231 abuts against the top abutting end 222, so that the blocking end 221 on the other side of the blocking card 22 is pressed down to exit the card channel 12.

[0067] The card blocking mechanism 20 is rotatably connected by a simple connecting shaft 21 and a card blocking card 22. The structure is simple and the number of independent components is reduced. The rotation angle of the card blocking card 22 can be precisely controlled by the abutting end 3231 of the card lifting mechanism 30, ensuring that the card blocking end 221 can accurately exit or enter the card channel 12 when needed. The top abutting end 222 of the card blocking card 22 contacts the abutting end 3231 of the card lifting mechanism 30. The contact surface of the top abutting end 222 is a smooth surface, and the contact surface of the abutting end 3231 is an arc surface 3232, which reduces friction and prolongs the service life of the components. The rotation design of the card blocking card 22 can avoid the jamming phenomenon caused by linear motion and ensure the smoothness of the card 200 when passing through the card channel 12.

[0068] In addition, if Figure 1 and Figure 4A recycling box 70 is also provided. The recycling box 70 is arranged in the shell 10 and is located at the bottom of the blocking card 22. In the recycling state, the card 200 falls into the recycling box 70 due to the resistance of the blocking card 22 and is recycled.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present invention, the blocking mechanism 20 further includes a torsion spring 23 , one end of the torsion spring 23 is connected to the connecting shaft 21 , and the other end of the torsion spring 23 is connected to the blocking card 22 .

[0070] It is worth noting that a torsion spring 23 is also provided, and the design of the torsion spring 23 enables the blocking card 22 to automatically return to the initial position when no external force is applied, so as to facilitate the next use. That is, when the abutting end 3231 of the card-lifting mechanism 30 no longer abuts against the abutting end 222 of the blocking card 22, the elastic force of the torsion spring 23 will cause the blocking card 22 to return to the blocking state, ensuring that the blocking end 221 re-enters the card channel 12.

[0071] The automatic reset function improves the reliability of the card blocking mechanism 20, ensuring that the card blocking end 221 can be accurately reset after each operation, shortening the time from the card blocking end 221 exiting and entering the card channel 12. The continuous elastic force provided by the torsion spring 23 can ensure that the card blocking card 22 remains stable during rotation. The reset function can be achieved by a torsion spring 23, reducing the number of components and reducing the complexity of manufacturing and assembly.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present invention, the circular card issuing device 100 also includes a sensor assembly (not shown in the figure), and the sensor assembly includes a first sensor 51 and a second sensor 52. The first sensor 51 is arranged at a position of the shell 10 close to the card outlet 13, and the second sensor 52 is arranged at a position of the shell 10 close to the card blocking mechanism 20. The first sensor 51 and the second sensor 52 are both located in the card channel 12.

[0073] In detail, Figure 5 By providing the first sensor 51 and the second sensor 52, it is possible to monitor in real time whether the card 200 has reached the vicinity of the card blocking mechanism 20, which helps to ensure that the card ejection mechanism 30 performs the card ejection operation at an appropriate time.

[0074] When the card 200 moves to this position, the two sensors detect the position of the card 200 and send out a signal, so that the driving mechanism 40 drives the card-lifting mechanism 30 to extend into the card compartment 11 and lift up the card 200 in the card compartment 11, and the second sensor 52 is arranged close to the card-blocking mechanism 20, so that the card 200 can be held against the card-blocking mechanism 20 at this position, so that the card-blocking mechanism 20 cannot extend into the card channel 12 and cannot affect the movement of the card 200, and the card 200 can smoothly pass through the card channel 12 and enter the card compartment 11. By setting the first sensor 51 and the second sensor 52, accurate card 200 position information can be provided, which helps control the actions of the card-lifting mechanism 30 and the card-blocking mechanism 20, and ensures the accuracy and consistency of each operation.

[0075] In addition, if Figure 3 and Figure 8 The sensor assembly also includes a third sensor 53 and a fourth sensor 54, which are connected to the side wall of the shell 10 and are located outside the shell 10; the central angle of the third sensor 53 and the fourth sensor 54 is 90 degrees; the transmission shaft 311 is also connected to a sensor sheet 301, and the sensor sheet 301 can rotate with the rotation of the transmission shaft 311.

[0076] The third sensor 53 and the fourth sensor 54 detect the position of the sensing sheet 301, thereby determining whether the card-lifting end 3221 of the abutting member 32 has completed the lifting or withdrawal action. Since the central angle of the third sensor 53 and the fourth sensor 54 is 90 degrees, which corresponds exactly to the rotation angle required when the card-lifting mechanism 30 switches states, it can ensure that the angle of each action is accurate and consistent. By detecting the position of the sensing sheet 301 by the sensor, it can be timely discovered whether the card-lifting mechanism 30 has been in place, thereby avoiding card 200 processing errors caused by mechanical failures.

[0077] In addition, it also includes a card splitting mechanism 60, which includes a mounting frame 61 and a card splitting component 62. A mounting port 112 is provided on the side of the card magazine 11 facing the card output port 13. The mounting frame 61 is fixedly connected to the card magazine 11 and is located in the mounting port 112. The card splitting component 62 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 61 and is located between the card channel 12 and the card magazine 11.

[0078] The mounting frame 61 is bent, and the card separation member 62 is fixedly connected to the card bin 11 through the mounting frame 61 to form a fixed card separation gap, which can ensure that only one card 200 enters the card channel 12 from the card bin 11 at a time, preventing multiple cards 200 from entering the channel at the same time to cause jamming or blockage.

[0079] The design of the fixed card separating component 62 can separate the cards accurately, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of each card issuance; the mounting frame 61 can provide stable support for the card separating component 62, ensuring that the position and posture of the card separating component 62 remain unchanged during the operation; the structure is simple, and the card separating function can be achieved through a mounting frame 61 and a card separating component 62, which reduces the number of parts and reduces the complexity of manufacturing and assembly.
