[0023] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0024] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that descriptions involving orientation, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0025] In the description of the utility model, if there is a description of first and second, it is only for the purpose of distinguishing the technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0026] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0027] In the related art, workbenches in hotels and other places need to be equipped with card storage boxes and card readers respectively. After the staff takes out the card from the storage box, they need to take the card to the card reader and read the information of the card to be issued into the system before it can be issued. In addition, in order to prevent the card reader from misreading the information of other cards, the card storage box and the card reader need to be placed a certain distance apart. This makes the card issuance process more troublesome for the staff and is prone to errors, such as missing card information.

[0028] Reference below Figures 1 to 4 A card issuer according to an embodiment of the utility model is described.

[0029] like Figure 1As shown, the card issuer according to the embodiment of the utility model includes a main shell 100, a card reading assembly and an isolation assembly. The main shell 100 is provided with a card storage area and a card reading area. The card storage area is provided with a card placement slot 101 for stacking cards 900. The card placement slot 101 is provided with a card removal port 102 facing the card reading area. The card reading assembly is arranged in the main shell 100. The card reading assembly includes a circuit board assembly 210 and a card reading module 220 connected to the circuit board assembly 210. The card reading module 220 corresponds to the position of the card reading area. The isolation assembly is arranged in the main shell 100, and is used to isolate the card storage area from the card reading assembly.

[0030] By integrating the card storage area and the card reading area in the main shell 100, it is convenient for staff to take out, read and issue cards, and an isolation component is set between the card storage area and the card reading component to reduce the occurrence of cards in the card placement slot 101 being misread, thereby achieving fast card issuance with a low error rate.

[0031] Specifically, the cards are stacked in the card placement slot 101, and the card reading area is provided with a card placement surface. The lateral opening of the card placement slot 101 forms a card removal port 102 facing the card reading area. The staff can directly slide the card at the top of the card placement slot 101 sideways from the card removal port 102 to the card placement surface. After the card reading module 220 reads the information, the card can be issued, thereby realizing fast card issuance. Moreover, since the card removal port 102 faces the card reading area, the card can reach the sensing area of ​​the card reading module 220 as soon as it is taken out, and the card reading is completed, thereby reducing the occurrence of missed card reading. Furthermore, by configuring an isolation component, the sensing signal emitted by the card reading module 220 to the card storage area is weakened, thereby reducing the occurrence of misreading of the card in the card placement slot 101 and improving the accuracy of card reading.

[0032] In some embodiments of the present invention, the card reading module 220 is a wireless radio frequency identification module, which automatically identifies the target object and obtains related data through radio frequency signals, thereby obtaining card information.

[0033] It is conceivable that in some embodiments of the present invention, the card reading module 220 may also be an NFC module (Near Field Communication) or a Hall sensor module.

[0034] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the card storage area and the card reading area are both located above the card reading component, and the isolation component is a shielding plate 310 arranged at the bottom of the card placement slot 101. The shielding plate 310 weakens the signal transmitted from the card reading module 220 to the card placement slot 101 through the bottom of the card placement slot 101, thereby reducing the occurrence of the card reading module 220 reading the card in the card placement slot 101, improving the accuracy of card reading, and reducing the occurrence of misreading.

[0035] Specifically, the shielding plate 310 is a stainless steel sheet, and the stainless steel is used to form an electromagnetic shielding structure.

[0036] Of course, in the specific implementation process, the isolation component can also be an electromagnetic shielding film, an electromagnetic shielding coating, etc., which is arranged at the bottom of the card placement slot 101.

[0037] It can be understood that in some embodiments of the present invention, the isolation component can also be a shielding plate, an electromagnetic shielding film, an electromagnetic shielding coating, etc., which are arranged on the side wall of the card placement slot 101.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a recess 103 matching the shielding plate 310 is provided at the bottom of the card placement slot 101 to facilitate positioning and installing the shielding plate 310 .

[0039] Specifically, the shielding plate 310 is connected to the concave position 103 at the bottom of the card placement slot 101 by gluing.

[0040] It is conceivable that in some embodiments of the present invention, the shielding plate 310 can also be installed in the recess 103 at the bottom of the card placement slot 101 by screw connection or snap-on connection, or the shielding plate 310 can be directly placed in the recess 103, and the setting of the shielding plate 310 is completed by utilizing the gravity of the shielding plate 310 and the positioning of the recess 103.

[0041] Specifically, a plurality of snap-fitting protrusions may be provided on the side of the shielding plate 310 , and corresponding concave snap-fitting positions may be provided on the side walls of the recess 103 . The shielding plate 310 may be fixed to the recess 103 through snap-fitting cooperation between the snap-fitting protrusions and the concave snap-fitting positions.

[0042] It can be understood that in some embodiments of the present invention, the shielding plate 310 can also be directly installed to the bottom surface of the card placement slot 101 by screw connection, adhesive connection or snap connection, or the shielding plate 310 can be directly embedded in the part of the main shell 100 corresponding to the bottom surface of the card placement slot 101.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the shielding plate 310 corresponds to the depth of the recess 103, so that after the shielding plate 310 is installed in the bottom of the card placement slot 101, it is roughly flush with the bottom surface of the card placement slot 101, reducing wear on the bottom card.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, the shielding plate 310 corresponds to the outer contour of the card 900 to isolate and shield the entire card, meet the shielding requirements of cards at different positions of the sensing area, and can meet the shielding requirements of cards placed in reverse.

[0045] It can be understood that in some embodiments of the present invention, the shielding plate 310 can also be set to a size corresponding to or slightly larger than the sensing area of ​​the card 900, and the shielding plate 310 can be set at the bottom of the card placement slot 101 at a position corresponding to the sensing area of ​​the card 900, which can also meet the shielding requirements for the card 900 placed in the card placement slot 101.

[0046] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the main shell 100 is provided with an avoidance opening 104 corresponding to the card reading module 220, and a glass panel 110 is provided at the avoidance opening 104 to reduce the wear on the card 900 and reduce the attenuation of the signal of the card reading module 220, thereby improving the success rate of card reading.

[0047] Specifically, a sensing area mark is provided on the surface of the glass panel 110 to facilitate the staff to move the card to the sensing area for card reading.

[0048] It is understandable that in some embodiments of the present invention, an acrylic panel may be provided at the avoidance opening 104 , or the avoidance opening 104 may not be provided, and the card placement surface may be directly formed by the plastic shell of the main housing 100 .

[0049] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the utility model, the main shell 100 includes an upper shell and a lower shell, and the upper shell and the lower shell are installed and fixed by an installation mechanism such as a screw mechanism, a clamping structure, etc., and a cavity for installing the circuit board assembly 210 is formed between the upper shell and the lower shell, and the card reading module 220 is welded to the top of the circuit board assembly 210, and the avoidance opening 104 is arranged in the upper shell and corresponds to the position of the card reading module 220.

[0050] Specifically, one end of the upper shell is extended upward to form three walls, thereby forming a card placement slot 101 with an upper opening and a lateral card removal port 102 , and the glass panel 110 is arranged at the other end of the upper shell and is lower than the card placement slot 101 .

[0051] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the bottom surface of the card placement slot 101 is an inclined surface, and the inclined surface gradually tilts downward from the position of the card removal port 102 toward a direction away from the card reading area, so that the card 900 is in an inclined state when stacked in the card placement slot 101. When the staff takes the card, the card needs to slide obliquely upward out of the card removal port 102, which makes it difficult to bring out the next card, thereby reducing the occurrence of taking out multiple cards at one time.

[0052] Specifically, when the cards 900 stacked in the card placement slot 101 are in a tilted state and are in a lifted state toward the card removal port 102, since the cards are tilted, the positive pressure of adjacent cards (gravity forms two components after tilting) is smaller than that of horizontally placed cards, making the friction between adjacent cards smaller (the friction is proportional to the pressure), so that when the previous card is taken out, it is not easy to bring out the next card.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the inclination angle a of the inclined surface is 1° to 8°, which can reduce the occurrence of taking out two cards at a time and also make it convenient for staff to take cards.

[0054] Specifically, when the inclination angle a of the inclined surface is 1°, 3°, 5°, 7° or 8°, it is possible to better avoid the situation where two sheets are taken out at one time.

[0055] It is conceivable that in some embodiments of the present invention, other card fixing structures can be used to avoid the situation of taking out multiple cards at one time. In this case, the bottom surface of the card placement slot 101 can be set as a horizontal plane.

[0056] It is conceivable that in some embodiments of the present invention, elastic squeezing mechanisms such as springs, push plates set by springs, etc. are provided at two opposite slot walls of the card placement slot 101 (the slot walls on both sides of the card removal port 102) to elastically squeeze the cards stacked in the card placement slot 101, increase the resistance when the cards are removed, and reduce the occurrence of taking out two or more cards at a time.

[0057] Specifically, metal springs are respectively arranged at two opposite slot walls of the card placement slot 101 , and both ends of the metal springs are respectively bent toward the slot walls and connected to the corresponding slot walls, so that the metal springs form an arched spring structure that can elastically push the card placed in the card placement slot 101 .

[0058] Of course, in the specific implementation process, an elastic push plate mechanism can also be respectively provided at the two opposite slot walls of the card placement slot 101. The elastic push plate mechanism includes a push plate movably arranged in the card placement slot 101 and a compression spring connecting the push plate and the slot wall of the card placement slot 101. The elasticity generated when the compression spring is compressed generates an elastic thrust on the push plate, so that the push plate elastically pushes the card placed in the card placement slot 101.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the lower edge of the card removal port 102 is higher than the card placement surface of the card reading area, so that the card sliding out of the card placement slot 101 can directly fall or slide to the card placement surface, directly completing the card reading, which is convenient for the staff to issue cards.

[0060] It can be understood that in some embodiments of the present invention, the lower edge of the card removal port 102 can be set to be flush with the card placement surface of the card reading area, so that the card sliding out of the card placement slot 101 can directly slide to the card placement surface, directly completing the card reading, which is convenient for the staff to issue cards.

[0061] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the card placement slot 101 is provided with an upper opening for cards to be placed from top to bottom, so as to facilitate the placement of cards into the card placement slot 101 and also facilitate a person's hand to reach into the card placement slot 101 to take out the card 900 .

[0062] It is conceivable that in some embodiments of the present invention, the card placement slot 101 may not be provided with an upper opening, and the stacked cards may be placed into the card placement slot 101 through the card removal port 102 .

[0063] Of course, the invention of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned implementation modes. Those skilled in the art may make equivalent modifications or substitutions without violating the spirit of the present invention. These equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.
