The efficient operation of these card dispensers is crucial for ensuring highway traffic flow and toll accuracy, effectively reducing vehicle waiting times and improving overall traffic flow.

[0003] In the daily operation of a card issuing machine, the conveying mechanism is a core component, and its performance directly affects the overall efficiency of the card issuing system. However, current card issuing machine conveying mechanisms cannot restrict the cards during the transmission process, and the cards are prone to positional deviation. This not only prevents the cards from being transmitted smoothly along the predetermined track, but also frequently causes machine jams and malfunctions, and may even damage the cards and the conveying mechanism, resulting in a significant reduction in card issuing efficiency and making it difficult to meet the ever-increasing demand for high-precision and high-efficiency card issuing.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a card issuing machine's conveying mechanism that can ensure that the card maintains a stable and accurate position during the conveying process, making the card conveying process smoother, effectively solving the problem of card position deviation during the conveying process, thereby avoiding machine jamming caused by card deviation, and greatly improving card issuing efficiency.

[0026] Current card issuing machines cannot restrict the cards during the card transmission process, and the cards are prone to positional deviation. This not only prevents the cards from being transmitted smoothly along the predetermined track, but also frequently causes machine jams and malfunctions, and even damages the cards and the transmission mechanism. As a result, the card issuing efficiency is greatly reduced, making it difficult to meet the growing demand for high-precision and high-efficiency card issuing.

[0027] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a card issuing machine's conveying mechanism that ensures the card maintains stable and accurate positioning throughout the conveying process, making the card conveying smoother and effectively solving the problem of card misalignment during conveying. This avoids machine lag caused by card misalignment and greatly improves card issuing efficiency.

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Example

[0030] Please see Figures 1-4 The card issuing machine of this application includes a conveying mechanism comprising a frame 1, a card conveying component 2, and a card positioning component 3. The frame 1 has a card inlet 11 and a card outlet 12, symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the frame 1. The card conveying component 2 is disposed on the frame 1 and located between the card inlet 11 and the card outlet 12, for conveying cards from the card inlet 11 to the card outlet 12. The card positioning component 3 is disposed within the frame 1 and located around the card conveying component 2, for positioning cards on the card conveying component 2 at a preset position. This preset position is directly opposite the card inlet 11 and the card outlet 12, ensuring that the card remains directly opposite the card inlet 11 and the card outlet 12.

[0031] Specifically, the card conveying assembly 2 includes a conveying motor 21, rotating rollers 22, conveying sprockets 23, and a chain conveyor belt 24. The conveying motor 21 is located on one side of the frame 1 and is connected to the rotating rollers 22. The two rotating rollers 22 are arranged opposite each other within the inner cavity of the frame 1, respectively below the card inlet 11 and the card outlet 12. For example, one rotating roller 22 has both ends rotatably connected to the inner wall of the frame 1 via a rotating shaft, and the other rotating roller 22 has one end rotatably connected to the inner wall of the frame 1 via a rotating shaft, with the other end penetrating the frame 1 and connected to the output end of the conveying motor 21. The conveying sprockets 23 are respectively sleeved on the two rotating rollers 22 and connected to each other via the chain conveyor belt 24. When it is necessary to transfer a card from the card inlet 11 to the card outlet 12, simply put the card into the chain conveyor belt 24 from the card inlet 11, start the conveyor motor 21, drive the rotating roller 22 to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor sprocket 23 and the chain conveyor belt 24 to rotate synchronously, so that the card located on the chain conveyor belt 24 is transferred to the card outlet 12.

[0032] The card positioning component 3 includes a support part 31, a drive part 32, and a limiting part 33. The support part 31 is generally in the shape of a gantry frame and is disposed in the inner cavity of the frame 1, and is located on the same side as the rotating roller 22. The drive part 32 is disposed on the support part 31 and is fixedly connected to the limiting part 33, and is used to drive the limiting part 33 to move. The limiting part 33 is disposed between the support parts 31 and is located on both sides of the chain conveyor belt 24, and is slightly higher than the chain conveyor belt 24, and is used to limit the card located on the chain conveyor belt 24 to a preset position.

[0033] Specifically, the support part 31 includes a ring 311, a support frame 312, and a mounting box 313. The ring 311 is sleeved on the outer ring of the rotating roller 22. The support frame 312 is disposed at the bottom of the outer surface of the ring 311, and the bottom of the support frame 312 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the frame 1. The mounting box 313 is disposed above the rotating roller 22 and is fixedly connected to the ring 311 through a connecting plate.

[0034] The driving unit 32 includes a drive motor 321, a pulley 322, a bidirectional lead screw 323, and a threaded sleeve 324. The drive motor 321 is disposed on one inner wall of the frame 1 and connected to the pulley 322. The two pulleys 322 are respectively disposed on the mounting box 313 and connected by a belt winding around them. The bidirectional lead screw 323 is disposed inside the mounting box 313 and passes through the mounting box 313 to connect with the pulley 322. For example, one end of the bidirectional lead screw 323 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting box 313 via a rotating shaft, and the other end passes through the inner wall of the mounting box 313 and is fixedly connected to the pulley 322. The threaded sleeve 324 is sleeved on the bidirectional lead screw 323 and connected to the limiting part 33. For example, the threaded sleeve 324 is fixedly connected to the limiting part 33 via the connecting block 332, that is, the top of the connecting block 332 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded sleeve 324, and the bottom is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting part 33.

[0035] Furthermore, to improve the stability of the movement of the limiting part 33, the driving part 32 also includes a guide rod 325. The guide rod 325 is disposed inside the mounting box 313 and parallel to the bidirectional lead screw 323, while the extension direction of the guide rod 325 is consistent with that of the bidirectional lead screw 323. For example, both ends of the guide rod 325 pass through the threaded sleeve 324 and are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting box 313, and are respectively disposed parallel above and below the bidirectional lead screw 323; the threaded sleeve 324 is slidably mounted on the guide rod 325. When it is necessary to move the limiting part 33, the driving motor 321 starts, drives the pulley 322 to rotate, and synchronously drives the bidirectional lead screw 323 to rotate, thereby driving the threaded sleeve 324 to move along the extension direction of the guide rod 325.

[0036] The limiting part 33 includes a protective frame 331. Two protective frames 331 are arranged parallel and symmetrically on both sides of the chain conveyor belt 24, and are slightly higher than the chain conveyor belt 24. They are fixedly connected to the screw sleeve 324 through a connecting block 332. In order to facilitate the smooth delivery of the card from the card outlet 12, the inner cavity of the protective frame 331 is provided with several guide cylinders 333. The two ends of the guide cylinders 333 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the protective frame 331 through a rotating shaft. The rotatable guide cylinders 333 facilitate the smoother delivery of the card from the card outlet 12.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] When the driver presses the card dispensing button, the card enters from the card inlet 11 and reaches the chain conveyor belt 24. The conveyor motor 21 is started, driving the rotating roller 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor sprocket 23 and the chain conveyor belt 24 to rotate synchronously. This causes the card on the chain conveyor belt 24 to move towards the card outlet 12. During this process, the drive motor 321 rotates forward, driving the pulley 322 to rotate, which in turn drives the bidirectional lead screw 323 to rotate. This drives the screw sleeve 324 to move closer to each other along the extension direction of the guide rod 325, and simultaneously drives the two protective frames 331 to move towards each other until the protective frames 331 abut against both ends of the card, thereby limiting the card to a preset position. Then, driven by the guide cylinder 333 and the chain conveyor belt 24, the card exits from the card outlet 12. When there are no cards on the chain conveyor belt 24, the drive motor 321 reverses and drives the screw sleeves 324 to move away from each other along the extension direction of the guide rod 325, thus synchronously driving the two protective frames 331 to move in opposite directions.

[0039] In this embodiment of the application, the card issuing machine's conveying mechanism includes a frame, a card conveying assembly, and a card positioning assembly. By configuring a conveyor motor, rotating rollers, a drive sprocket, and a chain conveyor belt, after a card is placed onto the chain conveyor belt, the card can be conveyed from the card inlet to the card outlet. Simultaneously, by configuring a drive motor, pulleys, bidirectional lead screws, threaded sleeves, connecting blocks, and protective frames, two bidirectional lead screws can be driven to rotate under the drive of a single drive motor. This simplifies the transmission system and ensures the consistency of the rotational speed and direction of the two bidirectional lead screws. Consequently, the two protective frames can move at the same speed and direction, accurately and quickly positioning the card at a preset position on the chain conveyor belt. This ensures that the card remains stable and accurately positioned throughout the conveying process, effectively solving the problem of card misalignment during conveying, avoiding machine jamming caused by card misalignment, and improving card issuing efficiency.
