[0026] As Figures 1-3 shown, a recycling card box device provided by an embodiment of the present application will now be described. The recycling card box device has the functions of issuing cards and recycling cards. Specifically, it includes a main bracket 1, a card issuing box 2, a card running mechanism 3, a recycling box 4, and a card reader 5. Among them, the card issuing box 2, the card running mechanism 3, the recycling box 4, and the card reader 5 are all arranged on the main bracket 1; in this embodiment, a plurality of card issuing boxes 2 are arranged, Figure 1 as shown in the figure, there are 3. Different card issuing boxes 2 can hold cards of different thicknesses. At least two recycling boxes 4 are arranged to recycle cards with thicknesses of 0.76 mm and 0.84 mm respectively; in this embodiment, the card reader 5 and the recycling box 4 are arranged in the same row, and the same row here means that they are both located on the same side of the card issuing box 2; the card reader 5 is used to read or input information for the card; the card running mechanism 3 is arranged between the card issuing box 2 and the recycling box 4 and is used to transfer the card between the card issuing box 2, the recycling box 4, and the card reader 5; an electronic control board 6 is also provided on the main bracket 1, which is the control center for each component; a card thickness measuring device 7 is provided on the card running mechanism 3 and is used to measure the thickness of the current card during transportation so as to transfer the card with the corresponding thickness to the corresponding recycling box 4.

[0027] As Figure 1 shown, in this embodiment, since the two recycling boxes 4 are arranged in a staggered manner, an auxiliary conveying mechanism 8 is also provided on the main bracket 1. The auxiliary conveying mechanism 8 is used to receive the cards conveyed by the card running mechanism 3 and transfer them into the recycling box 4. The auxiliary conveying mechanism 8 adopts a conventional belt conveyor, that is, there is a belt on the front and rear two shafts, and the belt is driven by a motor-driven shaft to move, and the cards are conveyed on the belt.

[0028] Its working process includes a card-issuing stage and a recycling stage. In the card-issuing stage, the card is sent out from the card-issuing box 2, transported to the card reader 5 through the card transport mechanism 3, and taken away by the user after the card reader 5 finishes processing. In the recycling stage: when the user forgets the card or inserts the recycled card, after being processed by the card reader 5, the card transport mechanism 3 transports the card, and at the same time measures the thickness of the card, and then transports it to the corresponding recycling box 4 according to the corresponding thickness.

[0029] In this embodiment, the card thickness measurer 7 is a ranging sensor, preferably an ultrasonic ranging sensor, which has the advantages of high stability and high measurement accuracy.

[0030] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in this embodiment, the card transport mechanism 3 includes: a linear reciprocating drive assembly 31 and a card feeding assembly 32 provided on the linear reciprocating drive assembly 31. The movement direction of the linear reciprocating drive assembly 31 is perpendicular to the card feeding direction of the card feeding assembly 32, and the card thickness measurer 7 is provided on the card feeding assembly 32. The function of the linear reciprocating drive assembly 31 is to send the card feeding assembly 32 to the corresponding card-issuing box 2, recycling box 4 or card reader 5, and the card feeding assembly 32 is to transport the card to the card reader 5 or the recycling box 4.

[0031] Specifically, the linear reciprocating drive assembly 31 includes a left bracket 311, a right bracket 312, a belt drive assembly 313, a circular guide shaft 314 and a square guide shaft 315. The left bracket 311 and the right bracket 312 are arranged at intervals. The two ends of the circular guide shaft 314 and the square guide shaft 315 are respectively rotatably installed on the left bracket 311 and the right bracket 312. The first synchronous belt 3135 of the belt drive assembly 313 is connected to the card feeding assembly 32 through a synchronous belt pressing plate 33. The card feeding assembly 32 is slidably arranged on the circular guide shaft 314 and the square guide shaft 315. A driving member 34 for driving the square guide shaft 315 to rotate is provided on the left bracket 311 or the right bracket 312. When the belt drive assembly 313 drives the first synchronous belt 3135 to rotate, the card feeding assembly 32 is driven to move on the circular guide shaft 314 and the square guide shaft 315 through the synchronous belt pressing plate 33. The driving member 34 is used to drive the card on the card feeding assembly 32.

[0032] Specifically, the belt drive assembly 313 includes: a vertical plate 3131, two first belt pulleys 3132, a tensioning belt pulley 3133, and a positioning motor 3134. Among them, both ends of the vertical plate 3131 are fixed to the left bracket 311 and the right bracket 312. The two first belt pulleys 3132 are arranged on the vertical plate 3131 at intervals. The positioning motor 3134 is drivingly connected to the tensioning belt pulley 3133 and fixed to the vertical plate 3131. The first synchronous belt 3135 is drivingly arranged on the two first belt pulleys 3132 and the tensioning belt pulley 3133. The upper strip of the first synchronous belt 3135 is connected to the card feeding assembly 32 through a synchronous belt pressing plate 33. The positioning motor 3134 rotates forward and backward, drives the first synchronous belt 3135 to move forward and backward through the tensioning belt pulley 3133, and thus drives the card feeding assembly 32 to perform a reciprocating linear motion.

[0033] Specifically, the driving member 34 includes a transmission motor 341, a second synchronous belt 342, and a second belt pulley 343. The transmission motor 341 is arranged inside the left bracket 311. The output shaft of the transmission motor 341 extends to the outside of the left bracket 311 and is provided with an output belt pulley. The second synchronous belt 342 is drivingly connected between the second belt pulley 343 and the output belt pulley. The second belt pulley 343 is arranged at one end of the square guide shaft 315 located outside the left bracket 311. When the transmission motor 341 operates, it drives the square guide shaft 315 to rotate through the second synchronous belt 342.

[0034] As Figure 3 shown, in the embodiment, the card feeding assembly 32 includes two side brackets 321 and a top bracket 322. The top bracket 322 is arranged on the tops of the two side brackets 321. The two side brackets 321 are respectively slidably connected to the circular guide shaft 314 and the square guide shaft 315. Specifically, a circular tube 323 and a square tube are arranged between the two side brackets 321. Among them, the circular guide shaft 314 passes through the circular tube 323 to achieve the sliding connection between the circular guide shaft 314 and the side bracket 321. At the same time, the circular guide shaft 314 can rotate relative to the circular tube 323. When the circular tube 323 is fixedly arranged, a driven belt pulley 324 is rotatably arranged on the circular tube 323; when the circular tube 323 is rotatably arranged, the driven belt pulley 324 is fixedly arranged on the circular tube 323. The square guide shaft 315 passes through the square tube, and the square tube is slidably arranged with the square guide shaft 315. At the same time, the square guide shaft 315 and the square tube can rotate synchronously. A driving belt pulley is arranged on the square tube to drive the driving belt pulley to rotate synchronously; a card feeding belt 325 is drivingly connected between the driving belt pulley and the driven belt pulley 324. The card feeding belt 325 is used to drive the card to move; the card thickness measuring device 7 is installed on the top bracket 322 through a bracket. When the transmission motor 341 drives the square guide shaft 315 to rotate, the rotation of the square guide shaft 315 drives the square tube to rotate. The square tube drives the driving belt pulley to rotate. The driving belt pulley drives the card feeding belt 325 and the driven belt pulley 324 to rotate synchronously, so as to convey the card.

[0035] Specifically, driven shafts 326 are rotatably provided on two side brackets 321. There are two driven shafts 326. A kidney-shaped long slot 327 is provided on the side bracket 321. The two ends of the driven shaft 326 are movably arranged in the kidney-shaped long slot 327. The driven shaft 326 is located at the lower end of the kidney-shaped long slot 327 by its own gravity. A pressing wheel 328 is provided on the driven shaft 326. The pressing wheel 328 is located directly above the card feeding belt 325 at the position of the driving pulley or the driven pulley 324. The pressing wheel 328 is used to press against the card to ensure the stability of card feeding. When the card thickness changes, the driven shaft 326 will rise in the kidney-shaped long slot 327 to adapt to cards of different thicknesses. To ensure the stability of card feeding, a card guide groove 329 is provided on the inner side of the side bracket 321, and both sides of the card move in the card guide groove 329.

[0036] Specifically, the bottoms of the two side brackets 321 are bent inward to form a bottom plate 330. The fixing plate of the synchronous belt pressing plate 33 is arranged on the bottom plate 330. The movable plate of the synchronous belt pressing plate 33 is detachably installed on the fixing plate by bolts. The first synchronous belt 3135 is clamped between the movable plate and the fixing plate.

[0037] In this embodiment, the recycled card box device can automatically distinguish and recycle according to the card thickness, without manual reprocessing, with a high degree of intelligence and a better customer experience. Moreover, the structure is simple and efficient, and the equipment cost is low.

[0038] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
