Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a smart card manufacturing device, in particular to a smart card conveying and positioning device. Background Art

[0002] During the smart card production process, a conveyor system is used to transport the smart cards to various processing stations for processing. During this transport process, the smart cards often experience changes in their orientation due to certain factors (such as vibration), such as front-to-back or left-to-right deviations. This can prevent the smart cards from arriving at the processing stations in the correct orientation, leading to errors in the processing equipment at each station. Therefore, existing smart card production equipment uses a positioning device to adjust the orientation of the smart cards, ensuring that they arrive at the processing stations in the correct orientation and successfully complete each processing step.

[0003] The existing positioning device has the following shortcomings:

[0004] Most existing positioning devices use cylinders as driving components to perform positioning and driving operations, which makes positioning and adjustment operations inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned problems and provide a smart card conveying and positioning device, which can be adjusted by setting parameters through software, which is convenient and quick.

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A smart card conveying and positioning device comprises a positioning assembly and a positioning drive mechanism; the positioning assembly is provided in two groups and is respectively located on both sides of a smart card conveying channel;

[0008] The positioning drive mechanism includes an opening drive motor for providing an opening drive force, an opening transmission assembly for transmitting the opening drive force to the positioning assembly, and a positioning spring for pulling the positioning assembly closer to position the smart card.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, each group of positioning components includes a sliding mounting seat and a positioning wheel, the sliding mounting seat is dynamically connected to the positioning drive mechanism; and the axis of the positioning wheel extends vertically.

[0010] Furthermore, the same set of positioning wheels is provided with two sets, and each set is directly or indirectly provided on the sliding mounting base of the same set. Each set of positioning wheels is provided with two and is arranged in a direction parallel to the smart card conveying channel. With the above structure, two smart cards can be positioned at the same time, which is suitable for different occasions.

[0011] Furthermore, each positioning assembly includes a conveyor base fixedly connected to a corresponding sliding mounting base and provided with a card feed trough. A pair of upstream positioning wheels are directly or indirectly mounted on the corresponding conveyor base, with portions of the wheel surface of the positioning wheels extending into the card feed trough. This structure allows the card to be positioned to be conveyed to the card feed trough of the conveyor base for positioning, facilitating smooth transfer of the smart card.

[0012] Furthermore, one set of positioning components also includes a buffer positioning structure, the buffer positioning structure is provided with two groups and each group is provided with two buffer positioning structures;

[0013] Each buffer positioning structure includes a buffer positioning swing arm, a buffer spring, and a spring mounting plate. One end of the buffer positioning swing arm is directly or indirectly rotatably connected to a sliding mounting seat, and the other end of the buffer positioning swing arm is rotatably connected to the corresponding positioning wheel. The spring mounting plate is fixedly mounted. The ends of the buffer spring respectively abut against the spring mounting plate and the side of the buffer positioning swing arm. This structure provides the positioning wheel with buffering and adaptive positioning functions, protecting the card from damage.

Through the above structure, under the drive of the opening drive motor, the transmission cam rotates, so that the part away from the center of the circle approaches the transmission roller, prompting the two transmission rollers to move outward, thereby driving the two positioning assemblies to synchronously move away from the smart card conveying channel so that the smart card can enter or exit; at this time, the positioning spring is stretched and energy is stored. When the smart card enters between the two sets of positioning components, the drive motor is opened and driven in opposite directions, so that the part of the transmission cam away from the center of the circle moves away from the transmission roller; at the same time, the positioning spring releases potential energy, pulling the sliding mounting bases of the two sets of positioning components synchronously close to the smart card until the positioning wheels of the two sets of positioning components are respectively clamped on both sides of the smart card, limiting the smart card to the specified position, thereby completing the positioning of the smart card.

[0019] A preferred embodiment of the present invention further comprises a front-end alignment mechanism, which is composed of a card conveying mechanism. When the card conveying mechanism pushes the card between the positioning components, the positioning work in a direction parallel to the conveying direction of the smart card is completed.

[0027] See also Figure 1-3 The smart card conveying and positioning device of this embodiment includes a positioning component, a positioning drive mechanism, and an avoidance lifting drive mechanism for driving the positioning component and the positioning drive mechanism to rise and fall. The positioning components are provided in two groups and are respectively located on both sides of the smart card conveying channel; wherein, each group of positioning components includes a sliding mounting base 1 and a positioning wheel 2, and the sliding mounting base 1 is power-connected to the positioning drive mechanism; the axis of the positioning wheel 2 extends vertically.

One end of the buffer positioning swing arm 4 is directly or indirectly rotatably connected to the sliding mounting seat 1, and the other end of the buffer positioning swing arm 4 is rotatably connected to the corresponding positioning wheel 2. The spring mounting plate 5 is fixedly arranged. The two ends of the buffer spring respectively abut against the spring mounting plate 5 and the side of the buffer positioning swing arm 4 of the same group. This structure provides the positioning wheel 2 with buffering and adaptive positioning functions, protecting the card from damage.

[0031] See also Figure 1-3 The positioning drive mechanism includes an opening drive motor 7 for providing an opening drive force, an opening transmission assembly for transmitting the opening drive force to the positioning assembly, and a positioning spring 8 for pulling the positioning assembly closer to position the smart card. The opening drive motor 7 is fixedly mounted on a fixed mounting seat 9, which is fixedly mounted on a transverse guide column. The fixed mounting seat 9 is located between the sliding mounting seats 1 of the two positioning assemblies, and the sliding mounting seats 1 of the two positioning assemblies are respectively slidably connected to the transverse guide column.

The wheel surfaces of the two transmission rollers 11 are both in contact with the wheel surfaces of the transmission roller 11. The two ends of the positioning spring 8 are respectively connected to the sliding mounting seats 1 of the two positioning assemblies. Through the above structure, under the drive of the open drive motor 7, the transmission cam 10 rotates, causing the portion away from the center of the circle to approach the transmission roller 11, prompting the two transmission rollers 11 to move outward, thereby driving the two sets of positioning components to synchronously move away from the smart card conveying channel, allowing the smart card to enter or exit; at this time, the positioning spring 8 is stretched and stored with energy. When the smart card enters between the two sets of positioning components, the open drive motor 7 is driven in the opposite direction, causing the portion of the transmission cam 10 away from the center of the circle to move away from the transmission roller 11; at the same time, the positioning spring 8 releases potential energy, pulling the sliding mounting bases 1 of the two sets of positioning components synchronously towards the smart card, until the positioning wheels 2 of the two sets of positioning components are respectively clamped on both sides of the smart card, confining the smart card to the specified position, thereby completing the smart card positioning work.

The length of the swing push rod 18 is perpendicular to the axis of the transmission shaft 20. The swing plane of the swing push rod 18 is parallel to the smart card conveying channel. With this structure, when the smart card returns to the positioning components for secondary positioning, the swing drive motor 19 drives the transmission shaft 20 to rotate in the corresponding direction, thereby causing the swing push rod 18 to swing closer to the smart card, thereby aligning the smart card downstream, allowing the smart card to be accurately positioned in a direction parallel to the smart card conveying direction.

[0036] See also Figure 1-3 The working principle of the smart card conveying and positioning device of this embodiment is as follows:

[0037] During operation, before the card moves between the positioning components, the drive motor 7 is opened to drive the lower transmission cam 10 to rotate, so that the part of the transmission cam 10 away from the center of the circle is close to the transmission roller 11, prompting the two transmission rollers 11 to move outward, thereby driving the two sets of positioning components to synchronously move away from the smart card conveying channel so that the smart card can enter or exit; at this time, the positioning spring 8 is stretched and energy is stored.

[0038] When the card conveying mechanism pushes the card between the positioning components, the drive motor 7 is opened and driven in the opposite direction, so that the part of the transmission cam 10 away from the center of the circle is away from the transmission roller 11; at the same time, the positioning spring 8 releases its potential energy, pulling the sliding mounting bases 1 of the two sets of positioning components synchronously close to the smart card until the positioning wheels 2 of the two sets of positioning components are respectively clamped on the two sides of the smart card, limiting the smart card to the specified position, thereby completing the positioning of the smart card.
