Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0025] A card-pushing device for card production equipment includes a support block 101. A card-pushing mechanism 102 is located at the bottom of the support block 101. The card-pushing mechanism 102 includes a toothed rod 105. A sliding rod 103 is fixedly installed on one side of the toothed rod 105. The toothed rod 105 is fixedly installed on one side of a sliding table 106. A sensor baffle 201 is fixedly installed on the side of the sliding table 106 away from the toothed rod 105. A fork 202 is fixedly installed at the top of the sliding table 106. The sliding table 106 is movably installed outside a slide rail 203. Through this design, the sliding of the sliding table along the slide rail limits the maximum card-pushing stroke. The end point of the stroke is detected by the cooperation of the sensor baffle and a photoelectric proximity switch, achieving contactless limiting of the card-pushing mechanism. The card is then pushed out by the pushing structure at the front end of the fork. This design avoids wear and dust interference from friction of physical limit structures and overcomes the shortcomings of mechanical limit switches, such as easy failure and frequent maintenance.

[0026] Preferably, a sliding rod 103 is movably installed inside the support block 101, and a spring 104 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod 103. The card pushing device of this card making equipment significantly reduces the motor load during the reset stage through the synergistic effect of spring energy storage and motor drive, while improving the reset efficiency, thus solving the problems of high energy consumption and slow reset speed caused by a single power source in the traditional pure motor drive scheme.

[0027] In this embodiment, preferably, the push-card mechanism 102 further includes a base plate 204, a support block 101 is fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 204, and a slide rail 203 is fixedly installed on the side of the base plate 204 near the support block 101.

[0028] The above scheme establishes the mechanical reference of the overall device by fixing the support block and slide rail to the base plate, detects the amount of cards in the material box by photoelectric sensors installed on both sides of the base plate, and provides the power source fixation reference by the drive motor mounting position at the bottom of the base plate.

[0029] In this embodiment, preferably, a photoelectric sensor 205 is fixedly installed on the side of the base plate 204 near the slide rail 203, and a photoelectric proximity switch 206 is fixedly installed on the other side of the base plate 204 near the slide rail 203.

[0030] The above scheme converts the rotational motion of the motor into linear thrust through the meshing transmission of the drive gear and rack, optimizes the spatial layout by installing the gear shaft through the base plate, and achieves power transmission through the rigid connection between the rack and the sliding table.

[0031] In this embodiment, preferably, a drive motor 301 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the base plate 204, and a drive gear 302 is rotatably installed at the drive end of the drive motor 301. The drive gear 302 passes through the base plate 204 and meshes with one side of the rack 105.

[0032] The above scheme ensures the straightness of the card pushing trajectory by sliding the sliding table on the slide rail, fixes the card pushing execution component by the fork mounting interface on the top of the sliding table, and triggers photoelectric signal switching by the sensor baffle moving with the sliding table.

[0033] In this embodiment, preferably, a support frame 303 is fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the base plate 204 near the slide rail 203, a push groove 304 is opened on one side of the support frame 303, and a guide block 305 is fixedly installed on the side of the support frame 303 near the push groove 304.

[0034] The above scheme uses the locking groove at the top of the support frame to fix the position of the unloading frame, the inclined surface of the push groove outlet to guide and correct the card ejection angle, and the plug-in connection between the fixed frame and the fixed block to ensure the assembly stability of the hopper.

[0035] In this embodiment, preferably, the top of the support frame 303 is provided with a locking groove 306, a support plate 401 is fixedly installed in the locking groove 306, and a feeding frame 402 is movably installed in the locking groove 306.

[0036] The above scheme maintains the neatness of card stacking by vertically supporting the feeding frame with the support plate, achieves card self-centering by guiding the inclined surface of the guide block, and adapts to feeding frames of different thicknesses by the elastic locking tongue in the locking groove.

[0037] In this embodiment, preferably, a fixing frame 403 is fixedly installed on both sides of the feeding frame 402, the fixing frame 403 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing block 404, and the fixing block 404 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 303 near the engaging groove 306.

[0038] The above scheme achieves origin calibration by detecting the sensor baffle reset position through photoelectric proximity switch, overload protection is achieved by real-time monitoring of motor drive current, and different push-card resistances are adapted by adjusting the pre-compression amount of spring.

[0039] In this embodiment, the card-pushing device for the card-making equipment is assembled by fixing the base plate 204 to the support structure. Then, the card is vertically placed into the feeding frame 402. The support plate 401 supports the card, causing it to stack neatly within the feeding frame 402. After the device is powered on, when the photoelectric sensor 205 detects the presence of a card in the feeding frame 402, it sends a start signal to the drive motor 301. The drive motor 301 drives the drive gear 302 to rotate. Through the meshing of the gear and the rack 105, the drive rack 105 moves linearly. The movement of the rack 105 pushes the sliding table 106 along the slide rail 203. The outer side slides, simultaneously forcing the sliding rod 103 to slide inside the support block 101, directly compressing the spring 104 sleeved on the outer side of the sliding rod 103. During this process, the fork 202 fixed to the sliding table 106 moves forward synchronously, and its front end structure accurately pushes the bottom card out of the push slot 304. When the sliding table 106 drives the fork 202 to push out the card, the sensor baffle 201 rigidly connected to the sliding table 106 moves with it, gradually moving away from the sensing area of ​​the photoelectric proximity switch 206. Once the sensor baffle 201 is completely moved out of the sensing range, the photoelectric proximity switch 206 immediately triggers a signal to control the drive motor 301 to reverse.

[0040] When the drive motor 301 rotates in the reverse direction, the compressed spring 104 releases its stored elastic potential energy. Its rebound force acts in the opposite direction on the rack 105 through the sliding rod 103, forming a superimposed thrust in the same direction as the motor driving force. This mechanism significantly reduces the reverse load of the drive motor 301 and increases the reset speed of the sliding table 106. During the reset process of the sliding table 106, the sensor baffle 201 re-enters the sensing area of ​​the photoelectric proximity switch 206. The system confirms that the reset position has been calibrated. After the position is calibrated, the photoelectric sensor 205 detects the presence of the card in the unloading frame 402 again and immediately starts the next card pushing cycle.

[0041] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
