Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a smart card processing device, specifically a smart card hot stamping device. Background Technology

[0002] During the smart card production process, some cards require coding to be printed onto them using a coding device. The printed code is recessed on one side and raised on the other. This coding includes both recessed and raised codes, with raised codes forming the code on the raised side. To make the raised code appear more attractive, it is then hot-stamped to coat its surface with color.

[0003] The hot stamping of embossed codes is completed by a smart card hot stamping device. The hot stamping device mainly consists of a hot stamping tape conveyor mechanism, a hot stamping head, a card positioning seat, and a hot stamping feed mechanism. The hot stamping tape conveyor mechanism drives the hot stamping tape through the hot stamping station. During hot stamping, the hot stamping feed mechanism pushes the hot stamping head toward the card. The high temperature of the hot stamping head pushes the hot stamping tape to press it against the embossed surface of the card, printing the ink on the hot stamping tape onto the embossed code of the card, thus completing the hot stamping. Afterward, the hot stamping head resets, the hot stamped card is removed from the card positioning seat, and a new card is fed in. At the same time, the hot stamping tape conveyor mechanism drives the hot stamping tape to move a certain distance to perform the hot stamping process on the next card.

[0004] Existing hot stamping equipment has the following shortcomings:

[0005] The maximum stroke of the hot stamping feed mechanism driving the hot stamping head is small, resulting in poor operability, inconvenience in changing the ribbon, and inconvenience in equipment maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems and provide a smart card hot stamping device that is easy to operate, convenient for changing ribbons and maintaining equipment.

[0007] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] A smart card hot stamping device includes a hot stamping mechanism and a ribbon feeding and receiving mechanism.

[0009] The hot stamping mechanism includes a hot stamping head and a hot stamping drive mechanism; the hot stamping head is located directly above the card conveying channel; the hot stamping drive mechanism includes a hot stamping drive motor and a hot stamping transmission assembly, the hot stamping transmission assembly includes a transmission base and an eccentric structure; the transmission base is provided with a movable transmission hole; the transmission base is directly or indirectly connected to the hot stamping head; the eccentric structure includes a rotating wheel and an eccentric transmission wheel, the rotating wheel is coaxially fixed on the hot stamping drive motor, and the eccentric transmission wheel is rotatably connected to the rotating wheel, the axis of the eccentric transmission wheel is parallel to but not collinear with the axis of the rotating wheel; the eccentric transmission wheel is located in the movable transmission hole.

[0010] The working principle of the above-mentioned smart card hot stamping device is as follows:

[0011] Before starting the hot stamping process, a new ribbon needs to be installed. The hot stamping drive motor drives the rotating wheel to rotate, causing the eccentric drive wheel to swing upwards around the center of rotation. At this time, the eccentric drive wheel moves relative to the movable drive hole, thereby driving the drive seat to move upwards until the hot stamping head is raised to its maximum height, making it convenient for the operator to place the new ribbon. In addition, during routine equipment maintenance, the hot stamping head can also be raised to its maximum height for easy maintenance and good operability.

[0012] After the ribbon is loaded, the hot stamping head is moved downward by the hot stamping drive motor to enter the normal hot stamping working height, and the hot stamping work can then be carried out.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the transmission base is connected to the frame via a linear guide structure. This linear guide structure includes a slider and a guide rail. The slider is fixedly mounted on the frame, the lower end of the guide rail is fixedly connected to the transmission base, and the upper end of the guide rail is fixedly connected to the hot stamping head. With this structure, driven by the hot stamping drive motor, the guide rail drives the hot stamping head to reciprocate vertically, completing the hot stamping operation.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a base is provided below the transmission seat, and a buffer spring is provided on the base. This provides cushioning when the transmission seat moves to its lowest point, preventing the hot stamping head from making hard contact with the card and protecting the card structure.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the ribbon take-up and untake-up mechanism includes an unused ribbon take-up roller, a used ribbon take-up roller, a guide rod, and a take-up drive mechanism; the unused ribbon take-up roller and the used ribbon take-up roller are respectively arranged on both sides of the hot stamping station; the used ribbon take-up roller is connected to the drive end of the take-up drive mechanism.

[0016] Furthermore, the winding drive mechanism includes a winding drive motor and a belt drive structure, wherein the belt drive structure is connected between the used ribbon winding roller and the winding drive motor.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a card conveying mechanism is further included, which comprises a roller conveying mechanism and a card dispensing mechanism, wherein the roller conveying mechanism is located upstream of the card dispensing mechanism.

[0018] Furthermore, the roller conveying mechanism includes conveying rollers, a drive shaft, a synchronous gear set, and a roller drive motor; there are two conveying rollers arranged vertically opposite each other; there are two drive shafts, each connected to one of the two conveying rollers; and the synchronous gear set is connected between the drive shaft and the roller drive motor.

[0019] Furthermore, the card-dispensing conveying mechanism includes a card-dispensing rail, a card-dispensing belt, pulleys, and a conveying drive motor; the card-dispensing rail is provided with card slots; and the card-dispensing belt is provided with card-dispensing protrusions.

[0020] Furthermore, the card conveying rail includes a fixed rail and a movable rail, the movable rail being rotatably connected to the frame, and the rotation center of the movable rail being parallel to the direction of card conveying.

[0021] Furthermore, a tension spring is provided between the movable rail and the frame to keep the movable rail in its conveying posture. The two ends of the tension spring are fixedly connected to the movable rail and the frame, respectively, and the connection points of the two ends of the tension spring are not collinear with the rotation center of the movable rail. This structure not only maintains normal conveying operation but also allows the movable rail to be flipped outwards when it is necessary to remove the card, thus allowing for the card to be removed without damage—a very ingenious design.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a visual inspection mechanism is further included, which includes a camera for photographing the hot stamped ribbon.

[0023] Furthermore, the camera is positioned directly above the hot stamping head, with its lens facing downwards; the ribbon extends upwards after passing horizontally through the hot stamping station, and then passes horizontally below the camera.

[0024] The above structure allows for direct imaging of the colored band, which not only improves detection accuracy but also provides a simple and compact design.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a ribbon breaking mechanism is further included, which includes a breaking needle for breaking the hot stamped ribbon.

[0026] Furthermore, the destructive needle is fixedly mounted above the guide rod of the ribbon feeding mechanism, and the guide rod is provided with a groove, the tip of the destructive needle extending into the groove.

[0027] The above structure can split the hot-stamped ribbon in two, destroying the information on the ribbon, preventing the leakage of personal information, and ensuring information security.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0029] 1. The smart card hot stamping device of this utility model drives the rotating wheel to rotate through the hot stamping drive motor, which drives the eccentric transmission wheel to swing upward around the rotation center, thereby driving the transmission seat to move upward until the hot stamping head is raised to the maximum height, making it convenient for staff to place new ribbons.

[0030] 2. When equipment maintenance is required, the hot stamping head can be raised to its maximum height for easy maintenance and good operability. Attached Figure Description
