[0031] Now, various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that: unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangements of components and steps, numerical expressions and values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0032] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and in no way limits the present invention or its application or use.

[0033] Technologies, methods and devices known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods and devices should be regarded as part of the specification.

[0034] In all the examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be construed as merely exemplary and not as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0035] It should be noted that: like reference numerals and letters denote like items in the following drawings, and thus, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0036] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the present invention discloses a positioning device for positioning a card to be printed, including a positioning plate 1 made of bakelite, a gasket (not shown in the figure) and a protection block (not shown in the figure).

[0037] On one side surface of the positioning plate 1, a concave positioning groove 2, a card-taking groove 3 and an avoidance groove 4 are provided. Among them, the depths of the positioning groove 2 and the avoidance groove 4 are the same, and the depth of the card-taking groove 3 is greater than the depths of the positioning groove 2 and the avoidance groove 4.

[0038] The positioning groove 2 is a groove with a rectangular structure in a top view, and the four avoidance grooves 4 are respectively located at the four corners of the rectangle of the positioning groove 2, and the avoidance groove 4 communicates with the positioning groove 2. Further, in a top view, the avoidance groove 4 is a groove with a circular structure with a notch; at the notch, the avoidance groove 4 communicates with the positioning groove 2.

[0039] Combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4, the card slot 3 is located on both length sides of the positioning slot 2. The depth of the positioning slot 2 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the card. When the card to be printed is placed in the card slot 3, the four corners of the card are respectively located in the four avoiding slots 4. The upper surface of the card is flush with the upper surface of the positioning plate 1 or the upper surface of the card is lower than the upper surface of the positioning plate 1, and the outer periphery of the card is in contact with the vertical wall 21 of the positioning slot 2. It can be seen that the four corners of the card being respectively located in the four avoiding slots 4 can prevent the inner wall of the positioning slot 2 from contacting the four corners of the card during the placement of the card, resulting in damage to the card; the outer periphery of the card being in contact with the vertical wall 21 of the positioning slot 2 plays a role in shielding the outer periphery of the card and preventing ink from being printed on the outer peripheral wall of the card during printing, affecting the printing quality of the card. The setting of the card slot 3 facilitates the removal of the card from the positioning slot 2. When taking the card, insert the finger into the card slot 3 and flick the outer peripheral wall of the part of the card exposed outside the card slot 3 with the finger to remove the card from the positioning slot 2.

[0040] Furthermore, the depth of the card slot 3 is greater than the depth of the positioning slot 2. The card slot 3 extends to one side edge of the positioning plate 1 and opens at this side edge of the positioning plate 1. The opening is provided to facilitate the finger to insert into the card slot 3 and improves the card-taking efficiency. The card slot 3 includes a first card-taking part 31 and a second card-taking part 32 that are connected in extension; the first card-taking part 31 is recessed in the bottom surface of the positioning slot 2, the second card-taking part 32 is located outside the positioning slot 2, and the bottom surfaces of the first card-taking part 31 and the second card-taking part 32 are in the same plane. When taking the card, the finger can insert from the second card-taking part 32 under the card into the first card-taking part 31 to flick the card upward, further improving the card-taking efficiency.

[0041] From a top view perspective, the shape and size of the gasket are the same as those of the positioning slot 2. When the depth of the positioning slot 2 is greater than the thickness of the card, several gaskets can be placed in the positioning slot 2 to make the upper surface of the card flush with the upper surface of the positioning plate 1 or make the upper surface of the card slightly lower than the upper surface of the positioning plate 1, as long as the height requirement of the card during the printing process is met. The gasket is placed in the positioning slot 2 in a detachable manner, and the number of gaskets can be appropriately adjusted according to the thickness of the card.

[0042] The protection block can be placed in the card slot 3, and the width of the protection block is equal to the width of the card slot 3; when the card is placed in the positioning slot 2, the protection block abuts against the outer periphery of the card to reduce the proportion of the exposed part of the outer wall of the card when the card is placed in the positioning slot 2. In some embodiments, the protection block is slidably installed in the card slot 3, and the protection block can slide in the card slot 3 towards or away from the positioning slot 2.

[0043] In summary, for the positioning device provided by the present utility model, when printing a card, the card placed in the positioning groove 2 can be accurately positioned. Since the depth of the positioning groove 2 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the card, when the card is placed in the positioning groove 2, the outer periphery of the card is in contact with the vertical wall 21 of the positioning groove 2 and the outer peripheral wall of the card will not be exposed outside the positioning groove 2. During the printing process, ink cannot splash onto the outer periphery of the card, and the printing effect of the card is better. The card taking slot 3 and the positioning groove 2 are located on the same side surface of the positioning plate 1, and the card taking slot 3 and the positioning groove 2 are communicated with each other, which is convenient to take out the card from the positioning groove 2 after printing is completed.

[0044] Although some specific embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are only for illustration and not for limiting the scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments can be modified without departing from the scope and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims.
