[0002] At present, in order to solve the problem that paper RFID tags on pallets and goods are extremely prone to being damaged or falling off due to external forces, especially liquid immersion, collision, and scratching, RFID tag cards with plastic shells are started to be pasted and fixed on goods. At the same time, in response to the problem of a large number of pallets and goods and frequent labeling in large-scale warehousing, automatic labeling equipment has also emerged. However, the card issuing machine of the existing labeling equipment can only perform automatic card issuing operations and cannot adjust the posture of the issued RFID tag cards. In the use process, equipment for posture adjustment needs to be additionally installed, resulting in a bulky labeling equipment, large space occupation, high production cost, and inconvenient card issuing and labeling operations.

[0003] Therefore, developing a new type of card issuing equipment that can adjust the posture of RFID tag cards is the key to solving the problem. Summary of the Utility Model

[0017] The driving member (4) is arranged behind the guide plate (3) through a bracket (21). The working end of the driving member (4) is movably connected to the upper part of the guide plate (3), and the driving member (4) controls the rotation of the guide plate (3).

[0018] A spring (9) is provided between the working end of the driving member (4) and the guide plate (3).

[0019] The driving member (4) is a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric push rod.

[0020] The bent part of the front wall of the guide card slot (2) is arranged in an arc structure.

[0021] The suction disc (5) is a vacuum suction disc (5) and is provided with an air pipe connected to a vacuum pump.

[0022] The described card issuing institution (10) includes a support plate (11), a motor (12), a card issuing belt (13), and a rotating shaft (14). The support plate (11) is arranged at the bottom of the card storage box (1).

At least one passage slot is arranged along the long axis direction of the support plate (11), and the rear end or both ends of the passage slot penetrate the support plate (11). The rotating shafts (14) are respectively arranged at both ends of the passage slot through ear plates (15). The card issuing belt (13) is arranged between the two rotating shafts (14), and the upper surface height of the card issuing belt (13) is not lower than the upper surface height of the support plate (11). Any one of the rotating shafts (14) is drivingly connected to the motor (12) to drive the card issuing belt (13) to rotate in the passage slot. The motor (12) is arranged on the bracket (21).

[0023] Convex strips (16) perpendicular to the long axis of the card issuing belt (13) are provided on the working surface of the card issuing belt (13). The RFID tag card is pushed to move along with the card issuing belt (13) through the convex strips (16), solving the problem that the card issuing belt (13) cannot drive the RFID tag card to move, resulting in card issuing failure.

[0024] The described card issuing belt (13) is a conveyor belt.

[0025] Furthermore, a notch adapted to the guide plate (3) is provided at the lower end of the support plate (11) to ensure that the guide plate (3) can rotate, avoiding the support plate (11) causing movement interference to the guide plate (3), and further avoiding the situation that the end of the guide plate (3) blocks and jams the RFID tag card, resulting in card issuing failure.

[0026] An adjustment guide slot (17) is axially provided on the front wall of the card storage box (1). An adjustment plate (19) for adjusting the size of the ejection slot (24) is arranged in the adjustment guide slot (17) through an adjustment rod (18). A wing nut (20) is provided at the outer end of the adjustment rod (18). The wing nut (20) cooperates with the adjustment rod (18) to fix the adjustment plate (19) on the front wall of the card storage box (1). By controlling the position height of the adjustment plate (19) in the adjustment guide slot (17), the size of the ejection slot (24) is adjusted.

[0027] Guide slots are vertically provided on both side walls of the window (8). A baffle (22) in moving fit with the guide slots is arranged in the guide slots. A lifting member (23) is provided below the baffle (22). The lifting member (23) controls the baffle (22) to move upward into or downward out of the window (8) along the guide slots.

[0028] Working mode of the utility model: According to the thickness of a single RFID tag card, the adjusting plate (19) is controlled to adjust the size of the card outlet (24) of the card storage box (1), so that the card outlet (24) matches the thickness of a single RFID tag card, preventing multiple cards from being ejected at once or card ejection failure. The RFID tag cards are stacked in the card storage box (1) according to certain requirements (with the front side of the RFID tag cards facing down and the back side facing up). At this time, the RFID tag card at the bottom of the card storage box (1) is supported by the support plate (11).

[0029] When issuing a card, the motor (12) is started to drive the card issuing belt (13) to rotate. During the rotation of the card issuing belt (13) between the two rotating shafts (14), any rib (16) on the card issuing belt (13) enters from the rear of the card storage box (1) and contacts the rear end of the RFID tag card at the bottom of the card storage box (1), and then pushes the RFID tag card to move along with the card issuing belt (13) and finally be discharged from the card outlet (24) and fall into the guide card slot (2); while the front end of another RFID tag card is blocked by the rib (16) on the card issuing belt (13) to prevent it from automatically sliding out of the card outlet (24).

[0030] After the RFID tag card discharged from the card outlet (24) enters the guide card slot (2), its lower end will be automatically adjusted to a vertical posture under the guidance of the front wall of the guide card slot (2) and the guide plate (3), and then automatically fall to the bottom of the guide card slot (2) along the guide card slot (2); at this time, the lifting member (23) controls the baffle (22) to move upward along the guide card slot (2) into the window (8) to ensure that the RFID tag card is in a vertical state and prevent the RFID tag card from slipping out of the window (8) under the action of its own gravity.

[0031] Subsequently, the driving member (4) first controls the suction disc (5) to enter the through hole (7) to adsorb the RFID tag card, and the lifting member (23) controls the baffle (22) to move downward along the guide card slot (2) and exit the window (8), and the driving member (4) then continues to control the suction disc (5) adsorbed with the RFID tag card to penetrate the window (8), thereby realizing the automatic card issuing work of the RFID tag card.

[0032] During the card issuing process, when the RFID tag card is stuck in the guide card slot (2) and cannot fall automatically, the driving member (4) behind the guide plate (3) is started, and this driving member (4) pushes the guide plate (3) to rotate, thereby pushing down the RFID tag card to solve the problem of card jamming; after the card issuing is completed, the driving member (4) first controls the suction disc (5) to reset, exit the window (8) and the through hole (7), and the lifting member (23) controls the baffle (22) to move upward along the guide card slot (2) into the window (8) to wait for the next card issuing.
