[0034] In some specific embodiments, reference Figure 1 to Figure 3The push rod 13 has a first introduction surface 131 in an annular shape at one end facing the side opening, so as to facilitate the insertion of the mounting cassette.

[0035] In some preferred embodiments, reference Figure 1 to Figure 3 Two of the push rods 13 are provided inside each cassette mounting slot 11, so that the cassette can be fixed stably and the baffle assemblies at both ends of the cassette can be pushed well, so that the cards on the two cassettes can be pushed out along the card feeding channel.

[0036] In some specific embodiments, reference Figure 1 to Figure 3 The cassette mounting seat 1 is provided with inclined second introduction surfaces 14 on both sides close to the side opening, so as to facilitate the insertion and installation of the cassette.

[0037] In this embodiment, reference Figure 1 to Figure 3 The bottom plate 2 is provided with guide grooves 21 distributed along the card feeding channel 3 so that the card pushing member on the slider in the card issuing machine can extend to push the card.

[0038] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The inner wall of the cartridge installation slot 11 away from the limiting door assembly 12 is provided with a detection switch 5 that contacts the card 7 in the cartridge 6, and the lower part of the cartridge 6 has an escape hole 616 for the detection switch 5 to extend into. By providing the detection switch, it is possible to timely know whether the cards in the cartridge have been used up, so as to remind the user to replenish the cards.

[0039] In this embodiment, as an example, reference Figure 1 , Figures 4 to 8 The card cassette 6 includes a base 61, a top seat 62 located above the base 61, and a card cassette body 63 arranged between the base 61 and the top seat 62. A card storage cavity 64 for stacking cards 7 distributed along the height direction is formed inside the card cassette 6. A card entry port connected to the card storage cavity 64 is provided at the upper portion of the top seat 62. A top cover 65 covering the entry port is provided on the top seat 62. Card outlets 611 connected to the card storage cavity 64 are provided at both ends of the lower portion of the base 61. The base 61 is provided with a baffle assembly 66 located at the card outlet 611.

[0040] Specifically, refer to Figure 6 to Figure 8The base 61 is provided with a transverse slide groove 612 and a vertical slide groove 613 connected vertically, and an insertion hole 614 connected with the transverse slide groove 612, and the insertion hole 614 is aligned with the top rod 13. The baffle assembly 66 includes a limit baffle 661 slidably installed in the vertical slide groove 613 and a limit push plate 662 slidably installed in the transverse slide groove 612. The upper part of the limit baffle 661 and the lower part of the limit push plate 662 are correspondingly provided with a collision inclined surface 663. A first return spring 664 for driving the limit baffle 661 to move toward the limit push plate 662 is provided between the vertical slide groove 613 and the limit baffle 661, and a second return spring 665 for driving the limit push plate 662 to move toward the insertion hole 614 is provided between the transverse slide groove 612 and the limit push plate 662. A protective cover 615 for covering the limit baffle 661 and the limit push plate 662 is provided on the outer wall of the base 61. By setting the baffle assembly 66 at the card outlet 611, during the process of transit transportation or storage of the card tray, the baffle assembly 66 can limit the card 7 inside the card tray 6 to prevent the card 7 from falling out; and when the installation of the card tray 6 is completed, the ejector rod 13 can be used to push open the card outlet 611 so that the card can be pushed out.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, the card cassette mounting seat 1 can be fixedly connected to the frame 81 of the card issuing machine 8 through the bottom plate 2. When the detection switch 5 detects that there is no card in the card cassette 6, the card issuing machine 8 reminds the staff to add a card. When replacing the card cassette, the staff first unlocks the lock assembly 4 and rotates to open the limit door assembly 12 to take out the empty card cassette. Then, refer to Figure 1 The base 61 of the cassette 6 filled with cards 7 is aligned with the cassette installation slot 11 and pushed into the cassette installation, and locked by the limit door assembly 12. Figure 4 As shown; Reference Figure 8 At this time, the push rod 13 in the cassette mounting groove 11 extends into the insertion hole 614 and pushes the limit push plate 662, so that the limit baffle 661 moves upward and opens the card outlet 611, so that the card can be pushed out of the card storage cavity and slide along the card feeding channel when issuing the card later; through the above operations, the replacement and replenishment of the cassette are completed.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
