Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of card making, in particular to a portable card making device capable of wiping sensitive information. Background Art

[0002] With the growing demand for printing documents like social security cards and bank cards, thermal sublimation transfer technology, thanks to its superior printing quality, has gained widespread adoption in the card printing industry. However, this efficient and convenient printing method also presents a significant challenge: during the printing process, traces of personal sensitive information are left on the ribbon. Once leaked, this information poses a serious threat to personal privacy and security. With information security receiving increasing attention, properly handling this sensitive information left on the ribbon to ensure user safety has become a pressing issue.

[0003] Some card printers currently on the market attempt to remove residual information from ribbons by adding a scraper mechanism. However, this approach presents numerous practical challenges. The scraper mechanism is prone to deflection during operation, preventing the blade from maintaining close contact with the ribbon and, consequently, failing to completely remove residual information. Furthermore, controlling the scraper's pressure is a significant challenge. Insufficient pressure prevents effective removal of information, while excessive pressure can cut the ribbon, disrupting printer operation. Another solution involves shredding and destroying the ribbon after use, eliminating any residual information. However, this approach lacks timeliness, and the risk of information leakage persists for a period of time. Shredded ribbon fragments can still be reassembled, potentially leaking personal information. Furthermore, to completely shred the ribbon, the shredder blades must be arranged more closely, increasing the risk of blade jamming and hindering the efficient and continuous operation of the shredding process. In addition to the two aforementioned methods, another approach involves manually placing a white card after printing and wiping the ribbon before reprinting. However, this requires manual operation, hindering efficiency, and lacks convenience.

[0004] Therefore, how to effectively remove residual information on the ribbon while ensuring printing efficiency is still a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in the current card printer field. Utility Model Content

[0042] The portable card-making device capable of erasing sensitive information in this embodiment is further provided with a control module, which is used to control the entire printing process.

[0043] It should be noted that the wipe card in this embodiment is an ordinary white card that has not been printed.

[0044] The portable card-making device capable of erasing sensitive information in this embodiment specifically implements a method for erasing sensitive information as follows:

[0045] First, place the wiping card in the card input box 22. The control module issues an instruction, and the wiping card 22 moves through the second inlet and outlet 21 to the card slot 35 of the flip card receiving module 3. The control module issues an instruction to drive the flip card receiving module 3 to rotate around its own axis, so that the card slot 35 is connected to the card storage part 81, and the wiping card is transported to the card storage cavity through the first conveying roller 32.

[0046] The flip card receiving module 3 then rotates, docking it with the second entrance / exit 21. The card to be printed is placed in the card hopper 22. The control module then issues instructions for the card to be printed to pass through the flip card receiving module 3, the card transport module, and the intaglio printing module 7 in sequence. After printing is complete, the card is transported out of the first entrance / exit 71. After the card transport module completes printing, the electronic information recording unit records and determines whether the printed card is a reject card. If so, the card is transported to the reject card recovery module 9 via the flip card receiving module 3. If normal, the intaglio printing process continues.

[0047] After the card to be printed has completed data printing and is normal, the control module calls the wipe test ribbon to the pre-printing position. The control module can ensure that the ribbon is still in the original printing position. After the control module detects the presence of a wipe card in the card storage chamber through the wipe card detection sensor, it issues a wipe command, and the wipe card is sent to the flip card receiving module 3 via the guide roller 821. Then, it is sent to the printing module 6 through the flip card receiving module 3 for garbled code printing, thereby overwriting the card making information on the ribbon. After printing is completed, the wipe card is sent back to the card storage chamber through the flip card receiving module 3 to be wiped and used again. After the wipe card is reset, the ribbon is rewound to its normal position and waits for the next printing.

[0048] The portable card-wiping device of this embodiment can erase sensitive information from the ribbon in real time, effectively eliminating the risk of information leakage. This process is fully automated, requiring no manual operation, resulting in high efficiency and ease of use. The card storage unit eliminates the need for manual card insertion and erasing, further improving the efficiency of the entire process. The wiping card itself can be reused a certain number of times, improving efficiency while reducing wiping costs and making it more convenient in practice.

[0049] Finally, it should be emphasized that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various changes and modifications. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
