Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of card transportation, and particularly to a conveying device and a card storage device. Background Art

[0002] Existing card storage devices generally include a printer, a conveying structure, and a card box. The card box transports cards into the printer through the conveying structure for printing operations on the cards. However, since the card inlet of the existing printer is usually opened at a relatively high height of the printer itself, the installation positions of the card box and the conveying structure are also relatively high. The card box is usually a columnar structure extending in the vertical direction, and when discharging cards, the lowermost card in the card box is first transported out by gravity. Therefore, the card box cannot be made too large in volume, otherwise, due to the high installation position, the installation stability between the card box and the printer will be reduced, resulting in a small number of cards transported at one time and reducing the card transportation efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main object of the present invention is to provide a conveying device and a card storage device, aiming to solve the problem of low card transportation efficiency of existing card storage devices.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a conveying device, including:

[0005] A mounting frame, an installation cavity is formed inside the mounting frame, and a first card outlet is opened at one end of the mounting frame along the card transportation direction;

[0006] A carrying mechanism, the carrying mechanism is arranged in the installation cavity, a first card inlet is opened at one end of the carrying mechanism perpendicular to the card transportation direction, and a second card outlet is opened at one end of the carrying mechanism along the card transportation direction; and

[0007] A lifting mechanism, the lifting mechanism is installed on the mounting frame and is drivingly connected to the carrying mechanism;

[0008] The lifting mechanism drives the carrying mechanism to lift, so that the second card outlet communicates with the first card outlet, and the carrying mechanism is in a card discharging state. The carrying mechanism transports cards to an external printer through the second card outlet and the first card outlet. The lifting mechanism drives the carrying mechanism to descend, and the carrying mechanism is in a card receiving state, and cards enter the carrying mechanism through the first card inlet.

[0009] In one embodiment, the conveying mechanism includes a frame body, a first auxiliary wheel set and a first driving member. The lifting mechanism is drivingly connected to the frame body. The end plate of the frame body along the direction of card conveyance is provided with the second card outlet, and one side plate of the frame body perpendicular to the card conveyance direction is provided with the first card inlet. The first auxiliary wheel set is rotatably connected to the bottom plate of the frame body and rolls against the card. The first driving member is drivingly connected to the first auxiliary wheel set to drive the first auxiliary wheel set to rotate.

[0010] In one embodiment, the conveying mechanism further includes two second auxiliary wheel sets. The two second auxiliary wheel sets are disposed at the second card outlet and are oppositely arranged. The two second auxiliary wheel sets are used for clamping and conveying the card to the first card outlet.

[0011] And / or, the conveying mechanism further includes two third auxiliary wheel sets. The two third auxiliary wheel sets are disposed at the first card inlet and are oppositely arranged. The two third auxiliary wheel sets are used for clamping and conveying the card into the interior of the conveying mechanism.

[0012] In one embodiment, the conveying mechanism further includes a pressing assembly. The pressing assembly includes a pressing member and a second driving member. The second driving member is drivingly connected to the pressing member. The pressing member is used for pressing onto the surface of the card.

[0013] In one embodiment, the conveying mechanism further includes a manual driving assembly. The manual driving assembly is rotatably connected to the frame body and is drivingly connected to the first auxiliary wheel set to drive the first auxiliary wheel set to rotate.

[0014] In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes a third driving member and a transmission member. The third driving member is installed on the mounting frame and is drivingly connected to the transmission member. The transmission member is movably installed on the mounting frame and is connected to the frame body to drive the conveying mechanism to lift or lower.

[0015] In one embodiment, the mounting frame further includes two slide rails. One slide rail is installed at one end of the mounting frame perpendicular to the card conveyance direction and extends along the direction in which the conveying mechanism lifts. Two sliders are correspondingly provided at both ends of the frame body perpendicular to the card conveyance direction. One slider slides on one slide rail, and the slider close to the lifting mechanism is fixedly connected to the transmission member.

[0016] In one embodiment, the conveying device further includes a first sensing member. The first sensing member is installed on the frame body and is located at the opening edge of the second card outlet for detecting whether the card has been conveyed out of the conveying mechanism.

[0017] And / or, the conveying device further includes a second sensing member, which is installed at one end of the mounting bracket close to the lifting mechanism for detecting whether the second card outlet is communicated with the first card outlet.

[0018] The present invention also provides a card storage device, including a printer, a conveying device and a card box. The conveying device is the above-mentioned conveying device. The printer is installed at one end of the conveying device facing the card conveying direction, and the card box is installed at one end of the conveying device perpendicular to the card conveying direction and is communicated with the first card inlet.

[0019] In one embodiment, the card storage device includes a plurality of the carrier mechanisms and a plurality of card boxes. One card box is communicated with one carrier mechanism, and the plurality of carrier mechanisms are connected end to end in sequence along the card conveying direction. The lifting mechanism is drivingly connected to the carrier mechanism close to the printer.

[0020] The present invention provides a conveying device, including a mounting bracket, a carrier mechanism and a lifting mechanism. When using this conveying device to convey cards, an external card first enters the carrier mechanism through a first card inlet with a lower vertical height. Then, the lifting mechanism lifts the carrier mechanism to a specified height, and the carrier mechanism then conveys the card so that it passes through a second card outlet and a first card outlet in sequence and enters an external printer. Through the conveying device of the present invention, an external card box does not need to be placed at the same height as the card inlet of the printer, so its own volume is no longer limited by the installation height. A larger card box can be used to store cards, thereby increasing the number of cards transported at one time and improving the card transportation efficiency. Description of the Drawings

[0033] The realization, functional features and advantages of the object of the present invention will be further described with reference to the embodiments and the accompanying drawings. Detailed implementation manners

[0034] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0035] An invention is needed. If there are directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) involved in the embodiments of the present invention, then such directional indications are only used to explain the relative positional relationship, movement conditions, etc. between components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached drawings). If this specific posture changes, then the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0036] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the present invention, then such descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In addition, the technical solutions between various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of those of ordinary skill in the art to implement. When the combination of technical solutions results in contradictions or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0037] Existing card storage devices generally include a printer, a conveying structure, and a card box. The card box transports cards into the printer through the conveying structure for printing operations on the cards. However, since the card inlet of the existing printer is usually opened at a relatively high height of the printer itself, the installation positions of the card box and the conveying structure are also relatively high. The card box is usually a columnar structure extending in the vertical direction, and when discharging cards, the lowermost card in the card box is first transported out by gravity. Therefore, the card box cannot be made into a relatively large volume, otherwise, due to the relatively high installation position, the installation stability between the card box and the printer will be reduced, resulting in a smaller number of cards transported at one time and reducing the card transportation efficiency.

[0038] To solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a conveying device, aiming to solve the problem of low card transportation efficiency of existing card storage devices.

[0039] As Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 9 , in one embodiment, the conveying device 100 includes a mounting frame 10, a carrying mechanism 20, and a lifting structure. An installation cavity is formed inside the mounting frame 10. One end of the mounting frame 10 along the card conveying direction is provided with a first card outlet 11. The carrying mechanism 20 is disposed in the installation cavity. One end of the carrying mechanism 20 perpendicular to the card conveying direction is provided with a first card inlet 212. One end of the carrying mechanism 20 along the card conveying direction is provided with a second card outlet 211. The lifting mechanism 30 is mounted on the mounting frame 10 and is drivingly connected to the carrying mechanism 20.

[0040] In this embodiment, the mounting frame 10 is the basic support structure of the entire conveying device 100. It is formed by enclosing and welding multiple metal plates, so that an installation cavity is formed inside, providing an installation space for components such as the conveying mechanism 20 and the lifting mechanism 30, and ensuring that each component can be orderly combined and work together. The end plate of the mounting frame 10 facing the card conveying direction is provided with a first card outlet 11. The first card outlet 11 is the passage through which the card finally leaves the conveying device 100 and enters the external printer 200. The design of its position and size needs to be precisely adapted to the card inlet of the external printer 200 to ensure that the card can be smoothly transmitted without problems such as jamming or misalignment. The conveying mechanism 20 is slidably installed in the installation cavity and is used to carry and convey the card. One end of the conveying mechanism 20 perpendicular to the card conveying direction is provided with a first card inlet 212. The external card enters the inside of the conveying mechanism 20 through the first card inlet 212. The opening height of the first card inlet 212 is relatively low, which is different from the relatively high card inlet of the printer 200 in the traditional card storage device. This makes the placement position of the external card box 300 no longer restricted, and a larger volume card box 300 can be placed on the ground to convey the card into the conveying structure through the first card inlet 212. The end plate of the conveying mechanism 20 facing the card conveying direction is provided with a second card outlet 211. The second card outlet 211 is the intermediate outlet for the card to be transmitted from the inside of the conveying mechanism 20 to the first card outlet 11. When the conveying mechanism 20 rises to a specified height under the action of the lifting mechanism 30, the second card outlet 211 is communicated with the first card outlet 11, and the conveying mechanism 20 can then send the card through these two card outlets into the external printer 200 in sequence. The lifting mechanism 30 is installed on the outside of the mounting frame 10 and is drivingly connected to the conveying mechanism 20. The lifting mechanism 30 can accurately drive the conveying mechanism 20 to rise or fall according to actual needs. During the rising process, it ensures that the second card outlet 211 is accurately docked and communicated with the first card outlet 11 to meet the requirements of the card output state; during the falling process, it makes the conveying mechanism 20 return to a suitable position to facilitate receiving the card from the first card inlet 212 and enter the card receiving state.

[0041] The transport device 100 proposed by the present invention includes a mounting frame 10, a transport mechanism 20, and a lifting mechanism 30. When using the transport device 100 to transport cards, the external cards first enter the transport mechanism 20 through the first card inlet 212 with a lower vertical height. Then, the lifting mechanism 30 lifts the transport mechanism 20 to a specified height, and the transport mechanism 20 transports the cards, enabling them to enter the external printer 200 through the second card outlet 211 and the first card outlet 11 in sequence. Since the height of the first card inlet 212 of the transport device 100 is relatively low, it changes the situation where the installation positions of the card box 300 and the transport structure are restricted due to the high position of the card inlet of the printer 200 in the past. This enables the external card box 300 to be no longer restricted by the installation height, and a larger card box 300 can be adopted, thereby increasing the number of cards transported at one time and improving the card transport efficiency.

[0042] As Figures 3 to 5 , in an embodiment, the transport mechanism 20 includes a frame body 21, a first auxiliary wheel set 22, and a first driving member 23. The lifting mechanism 30 is drivingly connected to the frame body 21. The end plate of the frame body 21 along the card transport direction is provided with a second card outlet 211, and one side plate of the frame body 21 perpendicular to the card transport direction is provided with a first card inlet 212. The first auxiliary wheel set 22 is rotatably connected to the bottom plate of the frame body 21 and rolls against the card, and the first driving member 23 is drivingly connected to the first auxiliary wheel set 22 to drive the first auxiliary wheel set 22 to rotate.

[0043] In this embodiment, the frame 21 is also formed by welding a plurality of metal plates, and mainly includes a bottom plate, two side plates perpendicular to the card conveying direction, and an end plate facing the card conveying direction. The frame 21 is open in the direction away from the card conveying, wherein the second card outlet 211 is provided in the end plate facing the card conveying direction, and the first card inlet 212 is provided in the side plate close to the external card box 300 and facing the card conveying direction. The lifting mechanism 30 is drivingly connected to the frame 21 to drive the entire transport mechanism 20 to be lifted or lowered. The transport device 100 includes two first auxiliary wheel groups 22, which are connected to the bottom plate of the frame 21 in a rotational manner at intervals along the card conveying direction. The first auxiliary wheel group 22 is used to directly contact and roll against the card to transport the card. The first auxiliary wheel group 22 is usually made of a material such as rubber that has a certain friction and does not cause damage to the surface of the card. When the card enters the transport mechanism 20 from the first card inlet 212, it will fall on the first auxiliary wheel set 22. The rolling contact between the card and the first auxiliary wheel set 22 can reduce the friction between the card and the frame 21, so that the card can move more smoothly in the transport mechanism 20. The first driving member 23 can be a power device such as a motor. When it is started, it can drive the first auxiliary wheel set 22 to rotate according to the set speed and direction. Specifically, the first driving member 23 is fixedly mounted on the frame 21, and a driving shaft extends out. A first transmission rod 213 is provided below the first driving member 23. The first transmission rod 213 is rotatably connected between the two side plates of the frame 21. The driving shaft of the first driving member 23 and one end of the first transmission rod 213 are both equipped with pulleys, and are sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the two pulleys through a transmission belt. At the same time, two second transmission rods 214 are rotatably connected between the two side plates of the frame 21 and are located below the bottom plate of the frame 21. The two first auxiliary wheel sets 22 are both embedded in the bottom plate of the frame 21, and one first auxiliary wheel set 22 is sleeved on a second transmission rod 214, one end of one of the second transmission rods 214 is equipped with a pulley, and the other end of the first transmission rod 213 is also equipped with a pulley, and the two pulleys are also connected through a transmission belt; in addition, the other end of the first transmission rod 213 is also equipped with a pulley, and one end of the other first transmission rod 213 is correspondingly equipped with a pulley, and the two pulleys are also connected through a transmission belt.When the first driving member 23 is activated, the rotation of the first driving member 23 itself can be transmitted to the first transmission rod 213 through the transmission belt between the driving shaft and one end of the first transmission rod 213, thereby causing the first transmission rod 213 to rotate. Then, the second transmission rod 214 is driven to rotate through the transmission belt between the other end of the first transmission rod 213 and one end of a second transmission rod 214. Furthermore, the first auxiliary wheel set 22 sleeved on the second transmission rod 214 is driven to rotate. Finally, the other second transmission rod 214 is driven to rotate through the transmission belt between the other end of the second transmission rod 214 and one end of another second transmission rod 214, thereby driving another auxiliary wheel set to rotate, completing the entire transmission process. Ensure that the first driving member 23 can drive the two first auxiliary wheel sets 22 to rotate, greatly improving the smoothness of the card transportation within the transportation mechanism 20.

[0044] As Figures 3 to 5 , in an embodiment, the transportation mechanism 20 further includes two second auxiliary wheel sets 24. The two second auxiliary wheel sets 24 are arranged at the second card outlet 211 and are oppositely arranged. The two second auxiliary wheel sets 24 are used to sandwich and convey the card to the first card outlet 11;

[0045] And / or, the transportation mechanism 20 further includes two third auxiliary wheel sets 25. The two third auxiliary wheel sets 25 are arranged at the first card inlet 212 and are oppositely arranged. The two third auxiliary wheel sets 25 are used to sandwich and convey the card into the interior of the transportation mechanism 20.

[0046] In this embodiment, the two second auxiliary wheel sets 24 are oppositely arranged and installed near the second card outlet 211. The second auxiliary wheel sets 24 also adopt rubber with a certain elasticity and moderate friction to ensure that when sandwiching and conveying the card, it can provide sufficient driving force for the card without scratching or other damage to the card surface. When the card is transported from the interior of the transportation mechanism 20 to the position of the second card outlet 211 by the first auxiliary wheel set 22, the two oppositely arranged second auxiliary wheel sets 24 push the card further to the first card outlet 11 in a sandwiching manner through their own rotation, so as to achieve docking with the card inlet of the external printer 200 and complete the transportation of the card. Specifically, two third transmission rods 215 are rotatably connected near the second card outlet 211 on the opposite side plates of the frame 21. The two second auxiliary wheel sets 24 are respectively installed on the two third transmission rods 215. One end of any one of the two third transmission rods 215 is connected to the other end of the above-mentioned other second transmission rod 214 through the above-mentioned transmission belt, so that when the first driving member 23 is activated, its rotation can be first transmitted to the first auxiliary wheel set 22, and then transmitted to one of the two second auxiliary wheel sets 24 through the first auxiliary wheel set 22, thereby ensuring that the second auxiliary wheel set 24 can stably transport the card to the first card outlet 11.

[0047] Based on the above embodiments with or without them, the conveying mechanism 20 further includes two third auxiliary wheel sets 25. The two third auxiliary wheel sets 25 are oppositely arranged and installed near the first card inlet 212. The working principle of the third auxiliary wheel set 25 is similar to that of the above-mentioned second auxiliary wheel set 24. By means of clamping, the card is smoothly conveyed from the first card inlet 212 into the interior of the conveying mechanism 20, preventing the problem of unsmooth conveying that may occur when the card enters the conveying mechanism 20 due to lack of guidance or insufficient pushing force, ensuring that each card can smoothly and accurately enter the interior of the conveying mechanism 20, and laying a good foundation for the subsequent conveying process.

[0048] As Figures 3 to 6 , in an embodiment, the conveying mechanism 20 further includes a pressing assembly 26. The pressing assembly 26 includes a pressing member 261 and a second driving member 262. The second driving member 262 is drivingly connected to the pressing member 261, so that the pressing member 261 is rotatably connected to the frame 21 and has a pressing state of rotating towards the bottom plate of the frame 21 and pressing on the surface of the card and an initial state of rotating away from the bottom plate of the frame 21 and returning to the initial position.

[0049] In this embodiment, a pressing assembly 26 is further provided inside the conveying mechanism 20. It includes a pressing member 261 and a second driving member 262. The second driving member 262 can be a motor, serving as the power source for the movement of the pressing member 261. One end of it is fixedly installed on the frame 21, and the other end is drivingly connected to the pressing member 261. The pressing member 261 is a plate-like structure. One end of it is drivingly connected to the driving member, and the other end is provided with a plurality of rollers. When it is necessary to press the card, the second driving member 262 drives the pressing member 261 to rotate towards the bottom plate of the frame 21, so that it enters the pressing state. In this state, the pressing member 261 tightly presses on the surface of the card, fixing the card firmly on the bottom plate of the frame 21, avoiding the displacement, inclination and other situations of the card during the conveying process due to factors such as vibration and inertia. At the same time, the rollers of the pressing member itself can cooperate with the first auxiliary wheel set 22 to jointly convey the card. When the card conveying is completed or pressing is not required, the second driving member 262 drives the pressing member 261 to rotate away from the bottom plate of the frame 21, so that it returns to the initial position, preparing for the next pressing operation, and thus improving the stability and accuracy of the conveying device 100 during the card conveying process.

[0050] As Figures 3 to 6 , in an embodiment, the conveying mechanism 20 further includes a manual driving assembly 27. The manual driving assembly 27 is rotatably connected to the frame 21 and is drivingly connected to the first auxiliary wheel set 22 to drive the first auxiliary wheel set 22 to rotate.

[0051] In this embodiment, the transport mechanism 20 further includes a manual drive assembly 27, which is mainly used to provide a power source for manual operation of the first auxiliary wheel set 22 under certain circumstances. Specifically, the manual drive assembly 27 includes a fourth transmission rod 271 and a rotating member 272, wherein the fourth transmission rod 271 is located above the first driving member 23 and is rotatably connected to the two side plates of the frame 21, and one end of the fourth transmission rod 271 is also connected to the first transmission rod 213 by the above-mentioned belt drive, and the rotating member 272 is sleeved on the fourth transmission rod 271, and the rotating member 272 can be a gear or a handle.

[0052] In an emergency situation such as when the first driving member 23 is damaged or the power supply is interrupted, the operator can manually rotate the rotating member 272 to rotate the fourth transmission rod 271, and then rotate the first transmission rod 213 through the belt transmission between the fourth transmission rod 271 and the first transmission rod 213. Finally, the first transmission rod 213 is connected to the first auxiliary wheel group 22 through the transmission connection with the first auxiliary wheel group 22 as described above, and the design of the manual drive component 27 provides more flexibility for the operation of the conveying device 100 in some special scenarios, further improving the reliability, operability and adaptability of the conveying device 100 in different scenarios.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 3 and Figures 7 to 8 In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism 30 includes a third driving member 31 and a transmission member 32. The third driving member 31 is installed on the mounting frame 10 and is driven and connected to the transmission member 32. The transmission member 32 is movably installed on the mounting frame 10 and is connected to the frame 21 to drive the transport mechanism 20 to lift or lower.

[0054] In this embodiment, the third driving member 31 can be a power device such as a motor, which is installed on the outer side of the end plate of the mounting frame 10 perpendicular to the card conveying direction and away from the first card inlet 212, to provide driving force for the entire lifting and lowering action. In this embodiment, the transmission member 32 includes two connecting rods and two conveyor belts, the two connecting rods are rotated and connected to the mounting frame 10 at intervals along the lifting direction of the carrier 20, one connecting rod is rotated and connected to the mounting frame 10 near the height of the first card outlet 11, and the other connecting rod is rotated and connected to the mounting frame 10 near the height of the first card inlet 212. The two conveyor belts are arranged between the two connecting rods at intervals. Specifically, the two connecting rods are each installed with two gears at intervals. A conveyor belt is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the two gears at the same installation position of the two connecting rods. At the same time, one end of the frame 21 close to the conveyor belt is fixedly connected to the two conveyor belts. The third driving member 31 is drivingly connected to the connecting rod located near the height of the first card inlet 212 to drive the connecting rod to rotate, thereby driving the other connecting rod and the conveyor belt between the two connecting rods to perform reciprocating circulation, and finally driving the frame 21 and the entire transport mechanism 20 to be lifted or lowered. The design of the third driving member 31 realizes the precise control of the lifting and lowering action of the transport mechanism 20, and realizes the efficient transportation of cards.

[0055] like Figures 1 to 3 and Figures 7 to 8 In one embodiment, the mounting frame 10 also includes two slide rails 12, one slide rail 12 is installed at one end of the mounting frame 10 perpendicular to the card conveying direction and extends along the lifting direction of the carrying mechanism 20, and two sliders 216 are correspondingly provided at both ends of the frame 21 perpendicular to the card conveying direction. One slider 216 is slidably mounted on one slide rail 12, and the slider 216 close to the lifting mechanism 30 is fixedly connected to the transmission member 32.

[0056] In this embodiment, the slide rail 12 is made of high-strength metal material so that it has good wear resistance and straightness, thereby providing a stable and smooth track for the sliding of the slider 216. At the same time, both sliders 216 are provided with slide grooves so that the slider 216 can be closely matched with the slide rail 12 through its own slide groove, ensuring free sliding on the slide rail 12 without excessive gaps causing shaking. At the same time, the slider 216 close to the lifting mechanism 30 is also fixedly connected to the transmission member 32. When the third driving member 31 of the lifting mechanism 30 is started and power is transmitted through the transmission member 32, the slider 216 connected to the transmission member 32 will move on the slide rail 12 along the lifting direction of the carrier 20. Since the sliders 216 at both ends of the frame 21 are connected to the frame 21, the movement of one slider 216 will drive the entire frame 21 to rise or fall along the slide rail 12, thereby realizing the smooth lifting and lowering of the carrier 20.

[0057] In addition, the provision of the slide rail 12 and the slider 216 also facilitates the installation, debugging, and maintenance of the device. During the installation process, due to the standardized design of the slide rail 12 and the slider 216, assembly can be carried out quickly and accurately, reducing the installation difficulty and time cost. During the debugging phase, technicians can quickly determine whether the movement of the conveying mechanism 20 is smooth and whether there are problems such as jamming by observing the sliding of the slider 216 on the slide rail 12, and make adjustments in a timely manner. During equipment maintenance, if wear or other faults are found in the slider 216 or the slide rail 12, they can also be easily replaced, improving the efficiency of equipment maintenance.

[0058] For example Figures 1 to 6 , in one embodiment, the conveying device 100 further includes a first sensing member 40, which is installed on the frame 21 and located at the opening edge of the second card outlet 211 for detecting whether a card is transported out of the conveying mechanism 20;

[0059] And / or, the conveying device 100 further includes a second sensing member 50, which is installed at one end of the mounting frame 10 close to the lifting mechanism 30 for detecting whether the second card outlet 211 is in communication with the first card outlet 11.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first sensing member 40 is installed on the frame 21 and located at the opening edge of the second card outlet 211. Its type can be various, such as infrared sensors, photoelectric sensors, etc. In this embodiment, the first sensing member 40 uses an infrared sensor, which works by emitting infrared rays and detecting the reflected infrared ray signals. When a card is transported out through the second card outlet 211 from inside the conveying mechanism 20, the card will block part of the infrared rays, causing a change in the reflected signal received by the sensor. By detecting and analyzing this signal change, the first sensing member 40 can accurately determine whether the card has been transported out of the conveying mechanism 20. This precise detection function provides real-time feedback information for the entire conveying process, facilitating accurate control of the subsequent conveying process.

[0061] Based on the above embodiment with or without it, the conveying device 100 further includes a second sensing member 50, which is installed at one end of the mounting frame 10 close to the lifting mechanism 30. Specifically, an extension end extends from the slider 216 close to the lifting mechanism 30. The second sensing member 50 is also an infrared sensor. When the conveying mechanism 20 is lifted under the action of the lifting mechanism 30, causing the second card outlet 211 to be in communication with the first card outlet 11, the extension end will block part of the infrared rays, causing a change in the reflected signal received by the sensor, thereby enabling the second sensing member 50 to accurately determine the position of the lifting mechanism 30.

[0062] For example Figure 9, the present invention also provides a card storage device, which includes a printer 200, a conveying device 100, and a card box 300. The printer 200 is connected to one end of the conveying device 100 facing the card conveying direction to convey the card into the printer 200 for printing. The card box 300 is communicated with the first card inlet 212 to enable the card to enter the conveying mechanism 20. For the specific structure of the conveying device 100, refer to the above embodiments. Since the conveying device 100 adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0063] As Figure 9 , in an embodiment, the card storage device includes a plurality of conveying mechanisms 20 and a plurality of card boxes 300. One card box 300 is communicated with one conveying mechanism 20. The plurality of conveying mechanisms 20 are connected end to end in sequence along the card conveying direction. The lifting mechanism 30 is drivingly connected to the conveying mechanism 20 close to the printer 200.

[0064] In this embodiment, the card storage device includes a plurality of conveying mechanisms 20 and a plurality of card boxes 300. The specific quantity is not limited here. Taking two conveying mechanisms 20 and two card boxes 300 as an example, the two conveying mechanisms 20 are connected end to end in sequence along the card conveying direction, and each conveying mechanism 20 is connected to a card box 300. Through this design, the conveying mechanism 20 close to the printer 200 can not only receive the cards from the card box 300 connected to itself, but also the other conveying mechanism 20 can convey the cards in the card box 300 connected to itself to the conveying mechanism 20 close to the printer 200, and then the lifting mechanism 30 lifts the conveying mechanism 20 close to the printer 200 to convey the cards out. The design of the plurality of conveying mechanisms 20 and the plurality of card boxes 300 in this embodiment further increases the number of cards conveyed, thereby improving the card conveying efficiency.

[0065] The above description is only an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the technical concept of the present invention by using the description and drawings of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
