[0023] The present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments and the accompanying drawings, but the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited thereto.

[0024] See Figures 1-11 , the smart card flipping device of the present utility model includes a frame 12, a conveying device and a turning device 5 arranged on the frame 12. Among them, there are two groups of the conveying devices, which are arranged in parallel, namely a card flipping and conveying device 3 and a card direct conveying device 2; the turning device 5 is arranged in the conveying channel of the card flipping and conveying device 3.

[0025] See Figures 1-11 , the smart card flipping device of the present utility model further includes a conveying channel selection device 1 for driving the movement of the frame 12. Among them, the conveying channel selection device 1 includes a base 101, a sliding table 102 arranged on the base 101, and a linear driving mechanism 103 for driving the movement of the sliding table 102. Among them, the sliding table 102 is slidably connected to the base 101, and the bottom of the frame 12 is installed on the sliding table 102; the linear driving mechanism 103 is used to drive the sliding table 102 to move linearly, so as to convey the cards in the upstream card conveying line into the conveying channel of the card flipping and conveying device 3 or the card direct conveying device 2;

[0026] By setting the conveying channel selection device 1, the purpose is:

[0027] When the upstream card conveying line conveys the card to the smart card flipping device of the present invention, the control system determines whether the card needs to be flipped. If the card needs to be flipped, the linear drive mechanism 103 drives the slide 102 to move, so as to make the conveying channel of the card flipping and conveying device 3 on the frame 12 communicate with the upstream card conveying line, so that the card enters the conveying channel of the card flipping and conveying device 3, thereby realizing the flipping and conveying of the card; if the card does not need to be flipped, the linear drive mechanism 103 drives the slide 102 to move, so as to make the conveying channel of the direct card conveying device 2 on the frame 12 communicate with the upstream card conveying line, so that the card enters the conveying channel of the direct card conveying device 2, thereby realizing the direct conveying of the card.

[0028] In addition, the linear drive mechanism 103 can adopt a linear cylinder or an electric push rod.

[0029] See Figures 1-11 , a driving main shaft 6 is arranged on the front side of the frame 12, and a first driven main shaft 7 is arranged on the rear side of the frame 12; the driving main shaft 6 is connected with a conveying motor 9 installed on the frame 12 through a belt drive mechanism 8 to drive the driving main shaft 6 to rotate; in addition, a transmission box 10 is arranged on the frame 12 at a position corresponding to the belt drive mechanism 8, and the belt drive mechanism 8 is located in the transmission box 10, which can be used to protect the belt drive mechanism 8, such as dust prevention.

[0030] See Figures 1-11 , the direct card conveying device 2 includes multiple groups of first conveyor belt conveying mechanisms. Among them, multiple groups of first conveyor belt conveying mechanisms are arranged in parallel. The first conveyor belt conveying mechanism includes a first driving synchronous wheel, a first driven synchronous wheel, and a first conveyor belt arranged on the first driving synchronous wheel and the first driven synchronous wheel. Among them, the first driving synchronous wheel is installed on the driving main shaft 6, and the first driven synchronous wheel is installed on the first driven main shaft 7; the conveying motor 9 drives the driving main shaft 6 to rotate, thereby driving the first driving synchronous wheel to rotate, so as to drive the first driven synchronous wheel and the first conveyor belt to move, thereby realizing the conveying of the card.

[0031] See Figures 1-11, the card flipping and conveying device 3 includes multiple groups of second conveyor belt conveying mechanisms arranged on both sides of the flipping device 5. Among them, the multiple groups of second conveyor belt conveying mechanisms are arranged in parallel. The second conveyor belt conveying mechanism includes a second driving synchronous pulley, a second driven synchronous pulley, and a second conveyor belt arranged on the second driving synchronous pulley and the second driven synchronous pulley. Among them, the second driving synchronous pulley is installed on the driving transmission shaft 6 / the first driven transmission shaft 7 (that is, the second driving synchronous pulley located on the side close to the driving transmission shaft 6 is installed on the driving transmission shaft 6, and the second driving synchronous pulley located on the side close to the first driven transmission shaft 7 is installed on the first driven transmission shaft 7), and the second driven synchronous pulley is installed on the machine frame 12 through a second driven transmission shaft.

[0032] Through the above settings, during the process of the driving transmission shaft 6 rotating driven by the conveying motor 9, the first driven transmission shaft 7 will also rotate accordingly. Therefore, the driving transmission shaft 6 and the first driven transmission shaft 7 respectively drive the second conveyor belt conveying mechanisms on the front and rear sides of the flipping device 5 to work, so that the conveying speeds of the second conveyor belt conveying mechanisms on the front and rear sides of the flipping device 5 are kept consistent.

[0033] In this embodiment, there are four groups of second conveyor belt conveying mechanisms on both the front and rear sides of the flipping device 5.

[0034] See Figures 1-11 , the machine frame 12 is provided with a partition 11 between the conveying channels of the card flipping and conveying device 3 and the card direct conveying device 2; the conveying channels of the card flipping and conveying device 3 and the card direct conveying device 2 are separated by the partition 11.

[0035] See Figures 1-11, the conveying device further includes a card pressing and conveying device 4 disposed on the front and rear sides of the frame 12. The card pressing and conveying device 4 includes a mounting seat 401 disposed on the partition plate 11, a rotating shaft 403 disposed on the mounting seat 401, and rollers 402 disposed on both sides of the rotating shaft 403. Among them, the rollers 402 on both sides of the rotating shaft 403 are respectively located in the conveying channels of the card flipping and conveying device 3 and the card direct conveying device 2; the rollers 402 are mounted on the rotating shaft 403 through swing arms 405. The upper end of the swing arm 405 is connected to the rotating shaft 403, and the lower end is rotatably connected to the roller 402; a torsion spring seat 404 is further disposed on the rotating shaft 403. The torsion spring seat 404 is connected to the mounting seat 401 through a torsion spring 406. The elastic force of the torsion spring 406 causes the rotating shaft 403 to rotate, so as to cause the roller 402 to press down on the card, thereby increasing the friction between the card and the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt, so as to facilitate the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt to convey the card.

[0036] See Figures 1-11 , the turning device 5 includes a roller 501, a clamping member 502 disposed on the roller 501, and a turning driving mechanism for driving the roller 501 to rotate. Among them, there are multiple groups of the clamping members 502, and the multiple groups of clamping members 502 are arranged at equal angles along the circumferential direction of the roller 501; mounting grooves 509 for mounting the clamping members 502 are disposed on the roller 501 at positions corresponding to the clamping members 502; the clamping members 502 are mounted in the mounting grooves 509.

[0037] See Figures 1-11 , each group of clamping members 502 includes two groups of symmetrically arranged clamping plates 5021; a clamping groove for clamping the card is formed between the two groups of clamping plates 5021. In order to ensure that the card on the second conveyor belt can smoothly enter the clamping groove, a guiding portion is disposed on the clamping plate 5021; among them, the guiding portions on the two groups of clamping plates 5021 extend obliquely outward in a direction away from each other; the guiding portion includes a first guiding portion 5022 disposed on both sides of the clamping plate 5021 and a second guiding portion 5023 disposed in the middle of the clamping plate 5021. Among them, the length of the second guiding portion 5023 is greater than the length of the first guiding portion 5022; both the first guiding portion 5022 and the second guiding portion 5023 are located in the gap between adjacent two groups of second conveyor belt conveying mechanisms. In this way, during the rotation of the roller 501 driving the clamping members 502, the first guiding portion 5022 and the second guiding portion 5023 on the clamping members 502 will not interfere with the second conveyor belt.

[0038] In addition, retaining edges 508 are provided on both sides of the roller 501, and the retaining edges 508 can be used to prevent the cards located in the clamping grooves from undergoing axial displacement.

[0039] Refer to Figures 1-11 , the card turning device 5 further includes an arc-shaped shield 504, the arc-shaped shield 504 is installed on the frame 12 and is located above the card turning and conveying device 3, and the arc-shaped shield 504 is coaxially arranged with the roller 501; since the cards may be disengaged from the clamping grooves due to centrifugal force during the process of the card turning device 5 turning the cards, the arc-shaped shield 504 is provided to limit the cards, thereby preventing the cards clamped by the clamping members 502 from undergoing radial displacement.

[0040] Refer to Figures 1-11 , the turning drive mechanism includes a turning motor 503 and a belt drive mechanism 505. Among them, the turning motor 503 is installed on the frame 12, and its main shaft is connected to the roller 501 through the belt drive mechanism 505; in order to ensure the rotation accuracy of the roller 501, a rotation angle detection mechanism is further provided in the card turning device 5. The rotation angle detection mechanism includes a detection disc 507 provided on the driven pulley of the belt drive mechanism 505 and a detection sensor provided on the frame 12. Among them, the detection disc 507 is equidistantly provided with grooves in its circumferential direction, and the detection sensor determines the rotation angle of the roller 501 by detecting the number of grooves. For example, six grooves are provided on the detection disc 507, that is, the included angle between two adjacent grooves is 60 degrees. Then the turning motor 503 needs to drive the roller 501 to rotate 60 degrees each time. That is, when the detection sensor detects the next groove, the turning motor 503 stops rotating, and at this time the next clamping member 502 is just located in the conveying plane of the second conveyor belt conveying mechanism.

[0041] Finally, detectors can be provided at both ends of the conveying device to detect whether the cards enter or leave the smart card turning device of the present invention.

[0042] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the above content. Any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be equivalent replacement methods and are all included in the protection scope of the present invention.
