[0032] like Figures 1-6As shown, a lightweight smart card-making device supporting high-resolution printing is described below according to an embodiment of this application. This lightweight smart card-making device includes: a separate card-making module 1 and an auxiliary function module; the card-making module 1 can be detachably placed on the auxiliary function module; the card-making module 1 can be a card-making module 1 supporting low-resolution printing (e.g., 300 dpi) or a card-making module 1 supporting high-resolution printing (e.g., 600 dpi), selected according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the card-making module 1 includes a housing and conventional card-making functional structures disposed within the housing, such as embossed printing structures, printing mechanisms, hot stamping structures, etc. A card slot is provided on the housing for inserting white cards with chips and magnetic stripes, and card making is then performed within the housing. The card-making principle and corresponding functional structure of the card-making module 1 are prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] In this embodiment, the auxiliary function module includes a base 2 and a human-machine interface unit 3. The human-machine interface unit 3 is arranged in a drawer-like manner on the base 2, allowing it to be concealed and stored, providing good protection during transportation and minimizing its footprint. The base 2 can hold the card-making module 1, serving a supporting function. In actual operation, the card-making module 1 and the auxiliary function module can be transported and placed separately, reducing the labor intensity of transportation and the requirements for placement location.

[0034] In this embodiment, the human-computer interaction unit 3 includes at least a support platform 31 and a panel assembly 32. The support platform 31 is slidably connected to the base 2 via guide rails 21, achieving a drawer-like arrangement between the support platform 31 and the base 2. Two guide rails 21 are provided. One end of the panel assembly 32 is hinged to the support platform 31, and a support rod 33 is hinged to the back of the panel assembly 32. The panel assembly 32 is horizontally arranged on the support platform 31, or inclinedly arranged on the support platform 31 via the support rod 33. When the panel assembly 32 needs to be stored, it is placed horizontally on the support platform 31; when human-computer interaction is required, the support rod 33 is used to prop the panel assembly 32 obliquely on the support platform 31, facilitating interaction between the panel assembly 32 and the user.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the support platform 31 includes a left frame 311, a front frame 312, and a right frame 313 forming a U-shape. The left frame 311, front frame 312, and right frame 313 are all hollow structures, facilitating the installation of components inside. The left frame 311 and right frame 313 are slidably connected to the base 2 via corresponding guide rails 21. The front end of the panel assembly 32 is hinged to the front frame 312, and the panel assembly 32 can be placed on the upper surfaces of the left frame 311 and right frame 313 when flat. A bottom support plate 314 is provided between the left frame 311 and the right frame 313. The bottom support plate 314 is a perforated plate, and a limiting baffle 315 is provided on the upper rear surface of the bottom support plate 314. The limiting baffle 315 is an L-shaped plate, and the support rod 33 is a U-shaped rod. The two ends of the support rod 33 are hinged to the bottom surface of the panel assembly 32. The limiting baffle 315 is the limiting support point of the support rod 33, which can ensure that the panel assembly 32 is in a stable tilted state. In other embodiments, in order to adjust the tilt angle of the panel assembly 32, a toothed strip can be provided on the horizontal plate of the limiting baffle 315. The slots provided at intervals on the toothed strip can limit the support rod 33. The slots at different positions can make the tilt angle of the panel assembly 32 different.

[0036] In this embodiment, a microphone 316 and a barcode scanner 317 are provided on the front side of the front frame 312. The microphone 316 is used to make voice broadcasts to the user, and the barcode scanner 317 is used to scan barcodes or QR codes.

[0037] In this embodiment, the panel assembly 32 includes: a panel shell 321, on which a touch screen 322, an automatic face-tracking camera 323, a contactless card reader 324, and a keypad 325 are mounted. The front end of the panel shell 321 is hinged to the front frame 312 via a hinge. The touch screen 322 is used for human-computer interaction, operation, and information display. A stylus is housed within the left frame 311 for use with the touch screen 322. The automatic face-tracking camera 323 is driven by a micro motor and can rotate automatically, allowing the camera to automatically track faces to adapt to different user postures and ensure that the camera can capture the user's face. The contactless card reader 324 is used to read ID card information, and the keypad 325 is used for password input.

[0038] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the base 2 includes a left support frame 22, a rear support frame 23, and a right support frame 24 forming a U-shape. The height of the rear support frame 23 is higher than the height of the left support frame 22 and the right support frame 24; the upper surfaces of the left support frame 22 and the right support frame 24 can accommodate the card-making module 1. The left support frame 22, the rear support frame 23, and the right support frame 24 are all hollow structures to facilitate the installation of internal components. The left support frame 22 and the right support frame 24 are spaced apart, and the bottom of the left support frame 22 and the right support frame 24 are provided with a front crossbeam 28, a middle support plate 29, and a rear crossbeam 210. The front crossbeam 28 connects the front bottom of the left support frame 22 and the right support frame 24, the rear crossbeam 210 connects to the bottom of the left support frame 22, the right support frame 24, and the rear support frame 23, and the two ends of the middle support plate 29 are respectively connected to the left support frame 22 and the right support frame 24. The middle support plate 29 is a perforated plate or has heat dissipation holes.

[0039] To ensure the stability of the human-computer interaction unit 3 at its initial and final positions, in this embodiment, as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the left frame 311 and the right frame 313 is provided with an elastic plunger 326, which is a ball-head plunger. The rear crossbeam 210 on the base 2 is provided with an initial limiting hole and the front crossbeam 28 is provided with an end-point limiting hole. The positioning pin of the elastic plunger 326 is used to cooperate with the initial limiting hole and the end-point limiting hole for limiting. When the left frame 311 and the right frame 313 slide out from the base 2 to the end position, the elastic plunger 326 is inserted into the end-point limiting hole for limiting, keeping the human-machine interaction unit 3 in the pulled-out state; when the left frame 311 and the right frame 313 slide into the base 2, the elastic plunger 326 is inserted into the initial limiting hole for limiting, keeping the human-machine interaction unit 3 hidden and stored in the base 2.

[0040] In this embodiment, a fingerprint reader 25 is provided on the outer side of the right support frame 24; a power module 26 and a communication module 27 are provided inside the rear support frame 23. The power module 26 includes at least a circuit board and various interfaces; the communication module 27 includes conventional 4G, antenna, and Bluetooth components.

[0041] In this embodiment, the card-making module 1 includes a motherboard 11, which serves as the control center. The motherboard 11 is compatible with mainstream operating systems such as Windows, domestically developed IT systems, and Android through hardware interchangeability to meet different application scenarios. In this embodiment, the motherboard 11, power module 26, communication module 27, and other functional components such as fingerprint scanners are all existing technologies. The only improvement is the optimized placement of these functional components to make the operation more convenient when processing transactions.

[0042] In this embodiment, the motherboard 11 and the power module 26 are electrically connected via several interface lines, which can be common wires such as power cables and USB data cables. Specifically, the motherboard 11 in the card-making module 1 is provided with a power interface and various signal interfaces. Preferably, the power interface and various signal interfaces on the card-making module 1 are located on the back of the card-making module (the back of the card-making module is placed near the rear support frame of the base). Similarly, the power interface and various signal interfaces on the power module 26 on the base are located on the top surface of the rear support frame 23. Thus, when the card-making module 1 is placed on the base 2, electrical connection and signal transmission between the card-making module 1 and the auxiliary function module can be realized through the interface lines, thereby enabling the auxiliary function module to match different card-making modules and realize the free combination of the auxiliary function module with different card-making modules. Specifically, the power module on the base is connected to an external power source through an adapter to power on the entire card-making equipment. Then, the power module is electrically connected to the card-making module through interface lines such as power cables and signal cables to power on the card-making module and realize signal transmission between the auxiliary function module and the card-making module.

[0043] In this embodiment, the bottom of the card-making module 1 is provided with a left support plate 12 and a right support plate 13 to ensure the flatness of the bottom surface of the card-making module 1. When the card-making module 1 is placed on the base 2, the left support plate 12 is placed on the upper surface of the left support frame 22, and the right support plate 13 is placed on the upper surface of the right support frame 24. In this embodiment, when the human-computer interaction unit 3 is placed horizontally, its upper surface is lower than the upper surfaces of the left support frame 22 and the right support frame 24 to ensure that it can be properly stored.

[0044] The lightweight smart card-making device provided in this embodiment has a small and lightweight individual module, making it easy to carry and enabling it to handle business, thus providing better service quality for door-to-door services.

[0045] 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.
