[0002] In the field of criminal investigation technology, blood cards (also called blood collection cards, usually paper cards) are often used to collect, store and transport information such as DNA and blood type. As an information card, blood cards are easy to use, can standardize the extraction of blood samples, ensure the quality and success rate of blood sample storage and specimen submission, and can also run multiple repeated tests.

[0003] Since the various identity information of the person being collected usually needs to be written manually on the blood card, and finally collected by the input department for manual batch input into the computer system, there are problems such as large labor volume and low input efficiency. Therefore, the increasingly mature visual recognition technology is currently used to cooperate with machine equipment to automatically input information cards. The visual recognition technology can automatically complete the registration of the person being collected corresponding to the blood card and the QR code information on the blood card into the computer management system (such as the DNA laboratory management system in each province); it can also be based on the generated blood card QR code information, through the "QR code recognition" function of the visual recognition system to complete the blood card QR code information review registration in batches, generate the same template data file as the computer management system, and then select the computer management system query function to complete the review work with one click. If it is found that the information on the blood card does not correspond to the information in the computer system, it will report an error and complete the accurate review work.

[0004] In the prior art, a card collection and card information entry device and method with a fixed barcode disclosed in Chinese patent publication number CN104239919B can automatically realize blood card collection or blood card information collection, which can effectively improve the blood card collection efficiency.

[0030] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in a variety of different ways as defined and covered below.

[0031] Please refer to the attached drawing, which is a structural diagram of a preferred embodiment of an information card batch input device provided by the utility model.

[0032] An information card batch input device includes a conveyor belt 10 for transmitting information cards 4, and a visual recognition system 9 mounted on the conveyor belt 10 to scan and identify information on the information cards 4. The information card batch input device also includes:

[0033] A temporary storage piece 2, which is arranged at the feeding end of the conveyor belt 10 and is used to temporarily store the information card 4;

[0034] Suction cup assembly 6, telescopic assembly 7 and rotating mechanism, the telescopic assembly 7 is used to drive the suction cup assembly 6 to perform linear motion along the axial direction of the telescopic assembly 7, the rotating mechanism is arranged between the feeding end of the conveyor belt 10 and the temporary storage piece 2, the rotating mechanism is used to drive the telescopic assembly 7 to rotate to the temporary storage piece 2, and then drive the suction cup assembly 6 to absorb the information card 4 in the temporary storage piece 2 through the telescopic assembly 7, and the rotating mechanism is also used to drive the telescopic assembly 7 to rotate above the conveyor belt 10 after the suction cup assembly 6 absorbs the information card 4, and then place the information card 4 on the conveyor belt 10 through the suction cup assembly 6;

[0035] The storage box 13 is arranged at the discharge end of the conveyor belt 10 .

[0036] It should be noted that the suction cup assembly 6 can adopt a vacuum suction cup, or an air extractor equipped with a suction cup. The operation of sucking up the information card 4 through the suction cup assembly 6 not only facilitates the removal of the information card 4, but also reduces damage to the information card 4 such as bumps and reduces the impact on the information card 4.

[0037] Here, the conveyor belt 10 is driven by the second motor 12 to reciprocate, and continuously conveys the information card 4 to the visual recognition system 9 for scanning and recording. The visual recognition system 9 is a prior art and will not be described again.

[0038] The utility model transmits the information card 4 through the conveyor belt 10, scans and identifies the information on the information card 4 through the visual recognition system 9 and enters it into the computer system, temporarily stores the piled information cards 4 through the temporary storage part 2, and then drives the telescopic component 7 to rotate to the temporary storage part 2 through the rotating mechanism, and the telescopic component 7 drives the suction cup component 6 to extend along a straight line to release the information card 4 and absorb the information card 4, and then the telescopic component 7 drives the suction cup component 6 to contract to move the information card 4 away from the temporary storage part 2, so that the rotating mechanism drives the telescopic component 7 to rotate above the conveyor belt 10, and the suction cup component 6 puts the absorbed information card 4 into the conveyor belt 10 to realize the card taking operation of the information card 4, so that the cyclic operation realizes the batch transmission of the information cards 4 one by one, and scans and enters them one by one through the visual recognition system 9. The information cards 4 that have been entered fall into the storage box 13 for storage.

[0039] Preferably, please refer to Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the temporary material storage member 2 includes a material storage plate inclined downward toward the discharge direction of the conveyor belt 10, and limit plates are provided on both sides of the material storage plate relative to the discharge direction. A baffle 5 is provided at the discharge end of the material storage plate. The limit plates on both sides and the baffle 5 are combined with the baffle 5 on the upper surface of the material storage plate to form a material storage cavity, and the material storage cavity is used for arranging and placing information cards 4, and the baffle 5 is used for limiting the information cards 4 in the storage cavity.

[0040] It can be understood that the tilted material storage plate can facilitate the arranged information cards 4 to be stacked in sequence under the action of gravity, and facilitate the automatic displacement of the remaining information cards 4 after the information card 4 at the bottom is taken out, so that the information card 4 located at the bottom position is always in contact with the baffle 5, which is convenient for the suction cup assembly 6 to take out the material.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the limit plates on both sides are movably arranged on the material storage plate, and the distance between the limit plates on both sides can be adjusted to adjust the width of the material storage cavity. Specifically, the limit plates can be connected to the screw holes preset on the material storage plate by bolts, and the screw holes on the material storage plate are arranged in multiple arrangements. In addition, the baffle plate 5 can be connected to the limit plate by bolts, so when the limit plate is adjusted, the baffle plate 5 can be adjusted together.

[0042] Preferably, please refer to Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the baffles 5 are symmetrically arranged along the discharge direction of the material storage plate, and a discharge port is formed between the baffles 5 on both sides. The width of the discharge port is smaller than the length of the information card 4, and the suction cup assembly 6 is used to suck the information card 4 in the storage cavity from the discharge port.

[0043] It is understandable that the baffles 5 on both sides can limit the two sides of the information card 4, and the baffles 5 also have a material separation function, so that the information card 4 can be easily taken out from the discharge port one by one through the suction cup assembly 6.

[0044] Preferably, please refer to Figure 2 , 3 As shown, a material pressing piece 3 is placed in the material storage cavity, and the material pressing piece 3 is used to press the information card 4 onto the baffle 5.

[0045] Specifically, a guide member 14 is provided at the bottom end of the pressing member 3 , a guide groove 1 is provided on the material storage plate along its discharging direction, and the guide member 14 is embedded in the guide groove 1 and is used for guiding and moving along the guide groove 1 .

[0046] It can be understood that the setting of the pressing member 3 can compact the stacked information cards 4 so that the information cards 4 remain in a straight state, which is particularly beneficial to the straightening effect of paper information cards, and can assist in pushing the stacked information cards 4 to move toward the discharge port, so that when the information card 4 at the bottom is sucked, the remaining information cards 4 can be moved as a whole toward the discharge port, so that the suction cup assembly 6 can suck the information card 4 from the discharge port again, thereby realizing the single-card one-by-one discharge operation of the information cards 4.

[0047] Preferably, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the rotating mechanism includes a first motor 8, which is mounted on a conveyor belt 10, and the telescopic assembly 7 includes a cylinder, a cylinder body of the cylinder is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 8, and a piston rod of the cylinder is connected to the suction cup assembly 6.

[0048] It can be understood that the first motor 8 drives the cylinder to swing back and forth to realize the material transfer operation of the information card 4 from the temporary storage piece 2 to the conveyor belt 10. The first motor 8 can be installed through the motor bracket, can be flexibly arranged, and occupies a small space, is convenient for transportation, and can be well matched with the temporary storage piece 2 and the conveyor belt 10 for the overall arrangement of the device.

[0049] Preferably, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, an auxiliary discharging member is provided at the rear side of the discharging end of the conveyor belt 10 , and the auxiliary discharging member is used to receive the information card 4 discharged from the discharging end of the conveyor belt 10 and guide the information card 4 into the storage box 13 .

[0050] In some embodiments, the auxiliary discharging member includes a plurality of discharging rollers 11 arranged and tilted downward in a direction toward the storage box 13 .

[0051] It is understandable that, for paper information cards, due to their light weight, they need to be guided during discharge so that they can fall smoothly and stably into the storage box 13. The multiple discharge rollers 11 arranged obliquely and in sequence can guide the information cards 4 to fall smoothly into the storage box 13, ensuring the smoothness of discharge.

[0052] Optionally, a material leveling member is installed on the conveyor belt 10 , and the material leveling member is located between the visual recognition system 9 and the rotating mechanism. The material leveling member is used to flatten the information card 4 located on the conveyor belt 10 .

[0053] In some embodiments, the material leveling member includes a material leveling roller, which is used to fit the conveyor belt 10 and flatten the information card 4 passing through the material leveling roller.

[0054] It is understandable that the paper information card 4 is prone to bending. By arranging a material leveling member in front of the visual recognition system 9, the information card 4 can be further evenly pressed, and the pressing effect of the material pressing member 3 can be combined to ensure that the information card 4 is in a straight state when being transmitted to the visual recognition system 9.

[0055] It should be noted that the visual recognition system 9 includes a text recognition module and a QR code recognition module, and different modules can be opened separately or all modules can be opened depending on the situation. Since the visual recognition system is a prior art, more functions and uses are not described here.

[0056] In some embodiments, the material-distributing roller may be connected to the mounting support rod via a spring, and the spring is used to tighten the material-distributing roller so that the material-distributing roller maintains contact with the conveyor belt 10 , thereby achieving a better pressing effect on the information card 4 .

[0057] It should be noted that, in this article, the terms "comprises", "includes" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or apparatus that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or apparatus.

[0058] This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the utility model. The above examples are only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the utility model. The above is only the preferred implementation method of the utility model. It should be pointed out that due to the limitations of textual expression and the objective existence of infinite specific structures, ordinary technicians in this technical field can make several improvements, modifications or changes without departing from the principles of the utility model, and can also combine the above technical features in an appropriate manner; these improvements, modifications, changes or combinations, or the direct application of the concept and technical solution of the utility model to other occasions without improvement, should be regarded as the protection of the utility model.
