Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of card production technology, and in particular relates to a card issuing device. Background Technology
[0002] In card production, to reduce labor costs and automate production, multiple card issuers are often used to issue cards from bulk packaging to finished product packaging. The card issuers issue cards from the card compartment to the conveyor line. Existing belt-type card issuers can issue cards at high speed, but there is a chance that the cards will be scratched during the card issuance process. Therefore, the card quality requirements cannot be met. Cards with scratched surfaces need to be reprocessed or scrapped. This not only increases production costs, but the additional inspection and rejection work also increases labor costs. Cards with scratched surfaces entering the market will give consumers a negative impression. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned technical problems by providing a card dispenser. The card dispensing component completes the card dispensing within the dispensing chamber, using a suction cup to adsorb the card, which can effectively avoid the risk of card scratches during the dispensing process and meet the quality requirements of the cards. At the same time, dispensing the cards within the dispensing chamber avoids interference from the external environment and provides a protective function.
[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a card dispenser in this embodiment, including an electrical control box, a card dispensing support plate on the electrical control box, a material bin for holding cards on the card dispensing support plate, the discharge side of the material bin abutting against the card dispensing bin, a card dispensing port on the discharge side of the material bin, the card dispensing port connecting to a card supply slot, the card supply slot being located at the bottom of the material bin, a card dispensing component being provided inside the card dispensing bin, the card dispensing component being able to transfer the cards in the card supply slot to the conveyor line through a first through-hole on the card dispensing support plate.
[0005] In this technical solution, cards in the material bin are sequentially fed into the card slot through the card outlet. The card issuing component completes the card issuing within the card issuing bin. The card is adsorbed by a suction cup, which can effectively avoid the risk of card scratches during the card issuing process and meet the quality requirements of the cards. At the same time, issuing cards within the card issuing bin avoids interference from the external environment and plays a protective role.
[0006] In the above technical solution, the card issuing component further includes a suction cup disposed in the card issuing compartment, the suction cup being connected to a support tube body, the support tube body being mounted on a first support plate, the first support plate being connected to a drive unit, the suction cup being connected to an external air source pipe, and the side wall of the card issuing compartment being provided with a card retrieval port communicating with the card supply slot.
[0007] In this technical solution, under the control of the drive unit and an external air source, the card issuing assembly passes through the card dispensing port to pick up the card from the card supply slot. After rotating 90° counterclockwise, it transfers the card from the card-issuing support plate to the conveyor line through the first through-hole. In this embodiment, the drive unit is a servo motor and a reducer. The drive shaft of the reducer is fixedly connected to the first connecting block. The first connecting block is slidably connected to a fixing strip. A second connecting block is slidably disposed on the fixing strip. The second connecting block and the first support plate are fixedly connected. The second connecting block and the fixing strip, as well as the first connecting block and the fixing strip, can all be fixed and limited by bolts or other fasteners. In other embodiments, the drive unit can also be a rotary cylinder. The double suction cups on the first support plate further ensure the stability of card picking.
[0008] In the above technical solution, the card issuing compartment further includes a second support plate perpendicular to the card issuing support plate. The top of the second support plate is hinged with a card issuing protective shell, which can abut against the card issuing support plate. An observation window is also provided on the card issuing protective shell.
[0009] In this technical solution, the card-issuing protective shell has a drive port on the side near the drive unit, allowing the drive unit to extend into the drive suction cup to move and complete the card issuance. The card-issuing assembly picks up the card through the card-retrieving port in the card-issuing compartment, rotates it, and then sends the card out through the first port to the conveyor belt to complete a single card issuance. The card-issuing protective shell protects the card-issuing assembly, preventing external interference with the card issuance process, and also protects the operators from accidental contact. The observation window on the card-issuing protective shell also facilitates direct observation of the internal card issuance process. In addition, the second support plate and the card-issuing protective shell are hinged, which allows the card-issuing compartment to be opened directly during maintenance or replacement of parts, making operation convenient.
[0010] In the above technical solution, the material bin is further fixedly connected to the card issuing support seat by the first support column. The material bin is symmetrically provided with limit plates along the width direction of the material bin. The two limit plates can support the cards placed between them. The limit plates are connected to the adjustment components, which can adjust the distance between the two limit plates. A clamping component is also slidably provided between the two limit plates, which can press the cards in the material bin toward the discharge side.
[0011] In the above technical solution, the adjusting component further includes a third support plate symmetrically arranged on both sides of the material bin along the width direction of the material bin. A bidirectional threaded rod is rotatably arranged between the two third support plates. A first slider is threadedly connected to both sides of the bidirectional threaded rod. A second slider is fixedly connected to the top of the first slider. The second slider is slidably arranged in a first slide groove that runs through the bottom of the material bin. The first slide groove is perpendicular to the feeding direction of the material bin. The second slider passes through the first slide groove and is fixedly connected to a limiting plate in the material bin. A drive crank is connected to one side of the bidirectional threaded rod.
[0012] In this technical solution, the drive handle is used to rotate the bidirectional threaded rod, which in turn causes the two limiting plates of the material bin to slide along the first slide groove, moving away from or closer to each other. This is suitable for cards of different specifications. In other embodiments, the drive handle can be replaced with a drive motor, and the drive motor and the bidirectional threaded rod are connected by a transmission.
[0013] In the above technical solution, the clamping component further includes a pressure block, and telescopic shafts are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the pressure block. A roller is rotatably arranged on the side of the telescopic shaft away from the pressure block. The roller is rolled in a second groove opened on the limiting block. The bottom of the material bin is an inclined surface that slopes towards the discharge side. The direction of the second groove is consistent with the inclination direction of the inclined surface.
[0014] In the above technical solution, further, a third sliding groove is provided on the inclined surface along the length direction, and a protrusion is provided at the bottom of the pressure block, the protrusion sliding in the third sliding groove.
[0015] In this technical solution, the telescopic shaft can be used in conjunction with the adjustment component to accommodate cards of different specifications. When there is only one set of telescopic shafts and rollers on both sides, the slider is prevented from rotating by the setting of the third slide groove and the protrusion. When there are two sets of telescopic shafts on both sides, the pressure block is already restricted from rotating, so there is no need to set the protrusion and the third slide groove.
[0016] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the width of the card outlet is only wide enough for one card to pass through at a time.
[0017] In this technical solution, only when the previous card that entered the card supply slot is moved and issued by the card issuing component can the next card in the sequence in the material warehouse enter the card supply slot through the card outlet, thus avoiding multiple cards entering the card supply slot without being issued in time and causing the cards to tip over.
[0018] Furthermore, the above technical solution also includes a residual material detection sensor, which is set on either side of the limiting plate.
[0019] Furthermore, the above technical solution also includes a display screen, which is mounted on the card-issuing support plate via a bracket, and the display screen is electrically connected to the control unit inside the electrical control cabinet.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0021] 1. Cards in the material silo are sequentially fed into the card slot through the card outlet. The card issuing component completes the card issuing in the card issuing silo. The suction cup is used to adsorb the card, which can effectively avoid the risk of card scratches during the card issuing process and meet the quality requirements of the card. At the same time, the card issuing is carried out in the card issuing silo, which avoids the interference of the external environment on the card issuing process and plays a protective role.
[0022] 2. The adjusting component includes a third support plate symmetrically arranged on both sides of the material bin along the width direction of the material bin. A bidirectional threaded rod is rotatably arranged between the two third support plates. A first slider is threadedly connected to both sides of the bidirectional threaded rod. A second slider is fixedly connected to the top of the first slider. The second slider is slidably arranged in a first slide groove that runs through the bottom of the material bin. The first slide groove is perpendicular to the feeding direction of the material bin. The second slider passes through the first slide groove and is fixedly connected to a limiting plate in the material bin. A drive crank is connected to one side of the bidirectional threaded rod.
[0023] By driving the crank handle, the bidirectional threaded rod is rotated, causing the two limiting plates of the material bin to slide along the first slide groove, moving away from or closer to each other, which is suitable for cards of different specifications. Attached Figure Description

[0038] First embodiment:
[0039] like Figure 1-7As shown, this embodiment provides a card dispenser, including an electrical control box 1, a card dispensing support plate 2 on the electrical control box 1, a material bin 3 for accommodating cards on the card dispensing support plate 2, the discharge side of the material bin 3 abutting against the card dispensing bin, a card dispensing port 4 on the discharge side of the material bin 3, the card dispensing port 4 connecting to a card supply slot 5, the card supply slot 5 being located at the bottom of the material bin 3, a card dispensing assembly 6 being provided inside the card dispensing bin, the card dispensing assembly 6 being able to transfer the cards in the card supply slot 5 to the conveyor line 8 through a first through-hole 7 on the card dispensing support plate 2.
[0040] Cards in the material bin 3 are sequentially fed into the card slot through the card outlet 4. The card issuing component 6 issues the cards in the card issuing bin. The suction cup 9 is used to adsorb the cards, which can effectively avoid the risk of card scratches during the card issuing process and meet the quality requirements of the cards. At the same time, issuing cards in the card issuing bin avoids interference from the external environment and plays a protective role.
[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the card issuing assembly 6 includes a suction cup 9 disposed in the card issuing compartment. The suction cup 9 is connected to a support tube 10, which is mounted on a first support plate 11. The first support plate 11 is connected to a drive unit 12. The suction cup 9 is connected to an external air source pipe. The side wall of the card issuing compartment is provided with a card retrieval port 13 that communicates with the card supply slot 5.
[0042] Under the control of the drive unit 12 and an external air source, the card issuing assembly 6 passes through the card taking port 13 to pick up the card from the card supply slot 5. After rotating 90° counterclockwise, it transfers the card from the card-issuing support plate 2 through the first through-hole 7 to the conveyor line 8. In this embodiment, the drive unit 12 is a servo motor and a reducer. The drive shaft of the reducer is fixedly connected to the first connecting block 14. The first connecting block 14 is slidably connected to a fixing strip 15. A second connecting block 16 is slidably arranged on the fixing strip 15. The second connecting block 16 and the first support plate 11 are fixedly connected. The second connecting block 16 and the fixing strip 15, as well as the first connecting block 14 and the fixing strip 15, can all be fixed and limited by bolts or other fasteners. In other embodiments, the drive unit 12 can also be a rotary cylinder. The double suction cups 9 on the first support plate 11 further ensure the stability of card picking.
[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the card slot includes a second support plate 17 perpendicular to the card support plate 2. A card protective shell 18 is hinged to the top of the second support plate 17. The card protective shell 18 can abut against the card support plate 2. An observation window 19 is also provided on the card protective shell 18.
[0044] The card-issuing protective shell 18 has a drive port on the side near the drive unit 12, allowing the drive unit 12 to extend into the drive suction cup 9 to move and complete the card issuance. The card-issuing assembly 6 picks up the card through the card-taking port 13 in the card-issuing compartment, rotates, and then sends the card out through the first port 7 to the conveyor belt to complete a single card issuance. The card-issuing protective shell 18 protects the card-issuing assembly 6, preventing external interference with the card issuance process, and also protects the operators from accidental contact. The observation window 19 on the card-issuing protective shell 18 also facilitates direct observation of the internal card issuance process. In addition, the second support plate 17 and the card-issuing protective shell 18 are hinged, which makes it convenient to open the card-issuing compartment directly when inspecting or replacing parts, making operation easier.
[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the material bin 3 is fixedly connected to the card issuing support seat by the first support column 20. The material bin 3 is symmetrically provided with limit plates 21 along the width direction of the material bin 3. The two limit plates 21 can support the cards placed between them. The limit plates 21 are connected to the adjustment component 22, which can adjust the distance between the two limit plates 21. The clamping component 23 is also slidably provided between the two limit plates 21, which can press the cards in the material bin 3 towards the discharge side.
[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the adjusting component 22 includes third support plates 24 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the material bin 3 along the width direction of the material bin 3. A bidirectional threaded rod 25 is rotatably arranged between the two third support plates 24. A first slider 26 is threadedly connected to both sides of the bidirectional threaded rod 25. A second slider 27 is fixedly connected to the top of the first slider 26. The second slider 27 is slidably arranged in a first slide groove 28 that is provided through the bottom of the material bin 3. The first slide groove 28 is perpendicular to the feeding direction of the material bin 3. The second slider 27 passes through the first slide groove 28 and is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 21 in the material bin 3. A drive crank 29 is connected to one side of the bidirectional threaded rod 25.
[0047] By driving the crank handle 29, the bidirectional threaded rod 25 is rotated, causing the two limiting plates 21 of the material bin 3 to slide along the first slide groove 28, moving away from or closer to each other, which is suitable for cards of different specifications. In other embodiments, the crank handle 29 can be replaced with a drive motor, and the drive motor and the bidirectional threaded rod 25 are connected in transmission.
[0048] like Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the clamping component 23 includes a clamping block 30. A telescopic shaft 31 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the clamping block 30. A roller 32 is rotatably arranged on the side of the telescopic shaft away from the clamping block 30. The roller 32 is rolled in the second groove 33 opened on the limiting block. The bottom of the material bin 3 is an inclined surface 34 that is inclined towards the discharge side. The direction of the second groove 33 is consistent with the inclination direction of the inclined surface 34.
[0049] The inclined surface 34 is provided with a third slide groove 36 along its length, and the bottom of the pressure block 30 is provided with a protrusion 35, which slides within the third slide groove 36. The telescopic shaft 31 is designed to work with the adjustment component 22 to accommodate cards of different sizes. When there is only one set of telescopic shafts 31 and rollers 32 on both sides, the third slide groove 36 and the protrusion 35 prevent the slider from rotating. When there are two sets of telescopic shafts 31 on both sides, the pressure block 30 is already restricted from rotating, and the protrusion 35 and the third slide groove 36 are not required.
[0050] The width of the card outlet 4 is only enough for one card to pass through at a time. Only when the previous card that entered the card supply slot 5 is moved and issued by the card issuing component 6 can the next card in the sequence in the material bin 3 pass through the card outlet 4 and enter the card supply slot 5, thus preventing multiple cards from entering the card supply slot 5 and not being issued in time, which could cause the cards to tip over.
[0051] It also includes a residual material detection sensor 37, which is disposed on either side of the limit plate 21.
[0052] It also includes a display screen 38, which is mounted on the card-issuing support plate 2 via a bracket 39, and the display screen 38 is electrically connected to the control unit in the electrical control cabinet.
[0053] The embodiments of this application have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. This application is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all of these forms are within the protection scope of this application.
