[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model proposes a recycling device 100 for recycling cards. The recycling device 100 includes a card storage mechanism 1 and a card conveying mechanism 2. The card storage mechanism 1 includes a mounting frame 11 and a storage box 12. The storage box 12 is detachably connected to the mounting frame 11. The mounting frame 11 has a placement cavity 113 and a plurality of openings 114 communicating with the placement cavity 113. The storage box 12 can enter or leave the placement cavity 113 through the openings 114. The card conveying mechanism 2 is detachably connected to the mounting frame 11. The card conveying mechanism 2 has a transmission channel 24. One end of the transmission channel 24 communicates with the external space, and the other end of the transmission channel 24 communicates with the placement cavity 113. The transmission channel 24 is configured to convey the recycled cards to the storage box 12.

[0044] In this embodiment, the recycling device 100 is applied to the card issuing machine 300, which can automatically issue cards to the outside and recycle cards from the outside. The recycling device 100 is used to recycle cards from the outside. The recycling device 100 includes a card storage mechanism 1 and a card conveying mechanism 2. The card storage mechanism 1 is used to store cards, and the card conveying mechanism 2 is used to transfer external cards to the card storage mechanism 1. Specifically, the card storage mechanism 1 includes a mounting frame 11 and a storage box 12. The mounting frame 11 is a structural support component of the card storage mechanism 1 and also a structural support component of the recycling device 100. The mounting frame 11 is a frame structure, or it can be a platform, a base, or other structures.

[0045] In this embodiment, the card feeding mechanism 2 includes a base 21, a first roller group 22, and a second roller group 23. The base 21 has a receiving cavity, and the first roller group 22 and the second roller group 23 are spaced apart in the receiving cavity. The base 21 also has an inlet and an outlet connecting the receiving cavity. The first roller group 22 is arranged corresponding to the inlet, and the second roller group 23 is arranged corresponding to the outlet, forming a transmission channel 24 between the first roller group 22 and the second roller group 23 to connect the inlet and the outlet. Driven by the first roller group 22 and the second roller group 23, the card can be transmitted from the inlet to the outlet through the transmission channel 24, ensuring that the card moves along a predetermined path to realize card issuance and card retrieval.

[0046] Meanwhile, the base 21 of the card feeding mechanism 2 is detachably connected to the mounting frame 11, making the card feeding mechanism 2 and the mounting frame 11 detachable two-part structures. The storage box 12 located in the mounting frame 11 is also a detachable two-part or multi-part structure with the card feeding mechanism 2, so that the connection between the storage box 12 and the mounting frame 11 is not affected by the card feeding mechanism 2. The card feeding mechanism 2 can be detachably connected to the mounting frame 11 by snap-fit, screw-fit, or plug-in, etc., which is not limited here.

[0047] In this embodiment, the mounting frame 11 is provided with a placement cavity 113 and multiple openings 114 communicating with the placement cavity 113. The storage box 12 can enter the placement cavity 113 through the openings 114 and be placed in the placement cavity 113. The storage box 12 can also leave the placement cavity 113 through the openings 114 to enter the external space. The transmission channel 24 formed by the card feeding mechanism 2 communicates with the external space at one end and with the placement cavity 113 at the other end. After the user inserts the card into the circulating card dispenser 300, the card feeding mechanism 2 collects the card into the storage box 12 in the placement cavity 113 through the transmission channel 24. When there are many cards in the storage box 12, the storage box 12 can be pulled out directly to remove the storage box 12 with cards and replace it with an empty storage box 12. During operation, the card feeding mechanism 2 first receives the card from the external space. The card is transported to the storage box 12 in the placement cavity 113 through the transmission channel 24. When it is necessary to remove or replace the storage box 12, the operator can select any opening 114 to remove the storage box 12 from the placement cavity 113 or insert a new storage box 12. The design of multiple openings 114 makes the removal and placement of the storage box 12 more flexible and not limited by a single direction.

[0048] Furthermore, the multiple openings 114 of the connected placement cavities 113 allow users to pull out the storage box 12 located in the placement cavity 113 from any opening 114, enabling the storage box 12 to enter and exit the placement cavity 113 from different directions. In the traditional circulating card dispenser 300, because the card feeding mechanism 2 and the bottom mounting frame 11 are an integrated structure, the mounting frame 11 is directly installed on the bottom of the card feeding mechanism 2. As a result, some of the original structural support components of the card feeding mechanism 2, such as the mounting plate, affect the mounting frame 11, making it impossible for the mounting frame 11 to have multiple openings 114. When the user replaces a full storage box 12, they can only pull out the storage box 12 from one direction, making daily use very inconvenient and reducing the efficiency of card and storage box 12 replacement.

[0049] Based on the above problems, the recycling device 100 first sets the card feeding mechanism 2 and the mounting frame 11 as detachably connected, so that the mounting frame 11 can be an independent structure relative to the card feeding mechanism 2, thereby avoiding the influence of some structures of the card feeding mechanism 2 on the mounting frame 11. At the same time, the mounting frame 11 is provided with multiple openings 114 that communicate with the placement cavity 113, so that the storage box 12 can be directly pulled out from any opening 114, which greatly facilitates the recycling of cards and the replacement of the storage box 12, and improves the ease of use. The card storage mechanism 1 can be provided with one storage box 12, and the storage box 12 can enter or leave the placement cavity 113 from each opening 114. Alternatively, the card storage mechanism 1 can include multiple storage boxes 12, each storage box 12 corresponding to one opening 114, and can enter or leave the placement cavity 113 from the opening 114.

[0050] The recycling device 100 of this application is used for recycling cards. The recycling device 100 includes a card storage mechanism 1 and a card conveying mechanism 2. The card storage mechanism 1 includes a mounting frame 11 and a storage box 12. The storage box 12 is detachably connected to the mounting frame 11. The mounting frame 11 has a placement cavity 113 and a plurality of openings 114 communicating with the placement cavity 113. The storage box 12 can enter or leave the placement cavity 113 through the openings 114. The card conveying mechanism 2 is detachably connected to the mounting frame 11. The card conveying mechanism 2 has a transmission channel 24. One end of the transmission channel 24 communicates with the external space, and the other end of the transmission channel 24 communicates with the external space. The end is connected to the placement cavity 113, and the transmission channel 24 is configured to transmit the recycled card to the storage box 12. By setting the card conveying mechanism 2 and the card storage mechanism 1 as two detachably connected mechanisms, the influence of the card conveying mechanism 2's own structure on the opening 114 of the card storage mechanism 1 can be reduced. This allows the card storage mechanism 1 to form an opening 114 in all directions, and the storage box 12 can enter or leave the placement cavity 113 through each opening 114, making it convenient for users to pick up and put down the storage box 12, effectively improving the convenience of picking up and putting down the storage box 12 and increasing the efficiency of card recycling.

[0051] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the mounting frame 11 includes a base plate 111 and a plurality of support plates 112. The plurality of support plates 112 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart on the base plate 111. The card feeding mechanism 2 is located at one end of the support plate 112 away from the base plate 111. The plurality of support plates 112 and the base plate 111 enclose a placement cavity 113. Two adjacent support plates 112 along the periphery of the base plate 111 enclose an opening 114.

[0052] In this embodiment, the base plate 111 serves as a structural support component for the mounting frame 11 and the overall recycling device 100. Multiple support plates 112 are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart on the same surface of the base plate 111, forming a frame structure. These support plates 112 and the base plate 111 together enclose a placement cavity 113, with each pair of adjacent support plates 112 forming an opening 114 connecting the placement cavity 113. The base plate 111, as the basic load-bearing component, can be made of metal or high-strength plastic. The support plates 112 are vertically connected to the base plate 111, and the spacing between adjacent support plates 112 can range from 50 to 100 millimeters. This spacing accommodates the sidewalls of the storage box 12 while preventing excessive gaps that could lead to displacement. When a card conveying mechanism 2 is installed on the top of the support plate 112, the bottom surface of the card conveying mechanism 2 can be fixed to the support plate 112 via buckles or bolts. The opening 114 is defined by the side of the adjacent support plate 112 and the edge of the bottom plate 111. The width of the opening 114 can be 80-120 mm, which makes it easy for the storage box 12 to be pushed in or pulled out in a straight line.

[0053] Specifically, the base plate 111 supports the support plates 112 to form a frame structure, and the support plates 112 are spaced apart to form lateral guide rails. When the storage box 12 enters the placement cavity 113, its sidewall contacts the inner surface of the support plate 112, and the support plate 112 applies a lateral restraint force to the storage box 12 to prevent tilting or shaking. Openings 114 are distributed in different directions around the periphery of the base plate 111, such as the front, left, and right sides, allowing the storage box 12 to choose the most convenient path to enter and exit. The card conveying mechanism 2 is fixed to the top of the support plate 112, and its transmission channel 24 is vertically connected to the placement cavity 113. The top of the support plate 112 provides three-point support for the card conveying mechanism 2, preventing the transmission channel 24 from being misaligned due to external vibration. The gap between adjacent support plates 112 forms a guide channel. When the storage box 12 moves along the channel, the gap between the support plates 112 limits its offset angle. For example, if the storage box 12 offsets by more than 5 degrees, the sidewall of the support plate 112 generates a reverse force to reset it. The opening 114 around the base plate 111 has a chamfered edge with a radius of 2-3 mm to reduce frictional resistance when the storage box 12 moves in and out. The bottom of the support plate 112 is provided with a reinforcing rib at the connection between it and the base plate 111. The thickness of the rib can be 1.2-1.5 times the thickness of the support plate 112 to improve the bending strength of the overall structure.

[0054] Understandably, the base plate 111, as the basic load-bearing component, together with multiple parallel and spaced support plates 112, forms a placement cavity 113. This allows the storage box 12 to receive lateral support through the gaps between the support plates 112 when entering or exiting the opening 114, preventing the storage box 12 from shifting or tipping over. A card conveying mechanism 2 is located at the end of the support plate 112 furthest from the base plate 111. This ensures the connectivity between the transmission channel 24 and the placement cavity 113, and also secures the card conveying mechanism 2 through the support plate 112, improving the overall structural stability. Adjacent support plates 112 enclose the opening 114 along the periphery of the base plate 111, allowing the storage box 12 to enter or exit the placement cavity 113 from multiple different directions. The spacing between the support plates 112 provides a clear path guide for the movement of the storage box 12, reducing the risk of jamming. This improves the efficiency and reliability of the recycling device 100. Multiple support plates 112 are disposed on the base plate 111, which can form multiple openings 114 to allow the storage box 12 to enter and exit the placement cavity 113 through the openings 114. At the same time, the multiple support plates 112 and the base plate 111 also form a frame support structure with high structural strength, thereby providing a stable installation foundation for the card conveying mechanism 2. Furthermore, the two support plates 112 forming the same opening 114 can also provide guidance for the movement of the storage box 12 when it enters and exits the placement cavity 113 through the opening 114, ensuring that the storage box 12 moves in the direction of the opening 114, improving the accuracy of the storage box 12 when it is pulled out, and indirectly improving the convenience of the storage box 12 when it is pulled out.

[0055] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the support plate 112 includes a plate body 1121 and a guide plate 1122. The plate body 1121 is disposed on the bottom plate 111, and the guide plate 1122 is disposed on the side of the support plate 112 facing away from the placement cavity 113. The two support plates 112 enclose each other to form an opening 114, and the guide plate 1122 disposed on it extends away from the opening 114.

[0056] In this embodiment, the main body 1121 is a plate-shaped structure. However, the main body 1121 can also be a column-shaped, rod-shaped, bar-shaped, sheet-shaped structure, or a frame structure and platform structure, etc., without limitation. The main body 1121 is located at the periphery of the base plate 111, and its extension direction is approximately perpendicular to the surface of the base plate 111. Guide plates 1122 are located on the side of the main body 1121 facing away from the placement cavity 113, and extend away from the main body 1121 along the direction of the opening 114. Guide plates 1122 located on two adjacent support plates 112 also extend away from the opening 114. The main body 1121 is fixed to the base plate 111 to form the basic support structure of the mounting bracket 11, and its thickness can be controlled within the range of 1.5-3 mm to balance structural strength and space occupation. The guide plate 1122 extends outward at an angle of 15-45 degrees, and its length can be set to 30-60% of the height of the main body 1121. The cross-section of the guide plate 1122 can be designed as an arc or a slope to form a gradually changing guide channel. The guide plate 1122 can be fixed to the support plate 112 by means of screws, clips, or welding, or it can be integrally formed with the support plate 112, maintaining the guiding effect while avoiding structural interference. When the two opposing support plates 112 are each equipped with a guide plate 1122, a guide channel with a gradually changing width is formed between the two guide plates 1122, providing precise positioning in the initial stage of the movement of the storage box 12.

[0057] Simultaneously, during the insertion of the storage box 12, the side wall of the storage box 12 first contacts the inclined end of the guide plate 1122. As the pushing action continues, the guide plate 1122 converts the lateral contact force into a longitudinal guiding force through its inclined surface. The rigid connection formed between the plate body 1121 and the base plate 111 prevents the support structure from deforming during contact. The outward extension of the guide plate 1122 maintains a safe gap of 0.8-1.2 mm between the movement trajectory of the storage box 12 and the body of the support plate 112. When the storage box 12 is fully inserted into the placement cavity 113, the contact point between the end of the guide plate 1122 and the side wall of the storage box 12 reaches its maximum distance from the edge of the opening 114, at which point the storage box 12 enters the non-contact sliding stage. This structure reduces the frictional resistance during the pulling process of the storage box 12 by 40-60% and can accommodate different specifications of the storage box 12 with a thickness error within ±0.3 mm.

[0058] Understandably, by setting the guide plate 1122, the movement of the storage box 12 within the opening 114 can be guided and limited, reducing jamming or offset of the storage box 12 during movement. This improves the smoothness of the storage box 12's pull-out process and indirectly enhances its convenience. Simultaneously, the guide plate 1122 is located on the outside of the support plate 112, not occupying the space for the storage box 12's movement. The guide plates 1122 on the two support plates 112 that enclose the opening 114 extend away from the opening 114, forming a gradually widening guide channel, reducing direct contact between the sidewall of the storage box 12 and the support plate 112. This design reduces frictional resistance during the movement of the storage box 12, preventing jamming and improving the efficiency of its pull-out. Furthermore, the extension direction of the guide plate 1122 forms an angle with the movement direction of the storage box 12, guiding the storage box 12 to slide smoothly along a preset trajectory, further enhancing the convenience of the storage box 12 replacement operation.

[0059] In one embodiment, the base plate 111 is provided with a plurality of guide grooves, each guide groove being provided with an opening 114 and extending in a straight line along the direction of the opening 114; the storage box 12 is provided with a guide rail, which slides in cooperation with the guide groove.

[0060] In this embodiment, the bottom plate 111 has a plurality of guide grooves on the side surface facing the placement cavity 113. Each guide groove corresponds to an opening 114 and the extension direction of the guide groove is consistent with the orientation of the opening 114. Meanwhile, each storage box 12 has a guide rail at its bottom. The guide groove and the guide rail slide together. When the storage box 12 enters or leaves the placement cavity 113 through an opening 114, the storage box 12 slides along the guide groove.

[0061] It is understandable that by setting guide grooves on the base plate 111 and setting guide rails on the base plate 111 of the storage box 12 corresponding to the guide grooves, the storage box 12 can move in and out in a fixed direction by the guide grooves when it enters or leaves the placement cavity 113 through an opening 114, thereby improving the smoothness of the storage box 12 during the pushing and pulling process.

[0062] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket 11 further includes a plurality of stops, each stop being disposed at an opening 114. Each stop includes an inlet section and a stop section connected together. One end of the inlet section is rotatably connected to the base plate 111, and the other end of the inlet section is connected to the stop section. The stop section is elastically connected to the base plate 111. The inlet section is disposed facing the opening 114, and the inlet section is disposed gradually away from the base plate 111 from the end rotatably connected to the base plate 111 to the end connected to the stop section.

[0063] In this embodiment, a stop is provided at the opening 114. The stop includes a guide section and a limiting section connected to each other. The guide section, which is rotatably connected to the base plate 111, is positioned facing the adjacent opening 114 and is inclined from the end rotatably connected to the base plate 111 to the end connected to the limiting section, gradually moving away from the base plate 111. The limiting section, which is elastically connected to the base plate 111, is positioned away from the adjacent opening 114. When the storage box 12 enters the placement cavity 113 through the opening 114, the edge of the storage box 12 first contacts the inclined surface of the guide section, pushing the guide section to rotate around the rotatable connection point towards the base plate 111, so that the guide section guides the storage box 12 to slide along a preset trajectory into the placement cavity 113. During this process, the limiting section undergoes elastic deformation with the rotation of the guide section. The elastic force generated by the deformation is transmitted to the guide section through the limiting section, so that the guide section applies lateral pressure to the storage box 12 to maintain its direction of movement. Once the storage box 12 is fully inserted into the placement cavity 113, the elastic force of the limiting section causes the guiding section to return to its initial tilted state. At this point, the guiding section forms mechanical interference with the side wall of the storage box 12, preventing the storage box 12 from detaching in the opposite direction. When the storage box 12 detaches, the external force applied by the pull handle 122 must overcome the elastic force of the limiting section and the rotational resistance of the guiding section, ensuring that the storage box 12 can only move stably in a single direction. The tilt angle of the guiding section and the elastic parameters of the limiting section work together to reduce the frictional resistance of the storage box 12 during movement and provide sufficient limiting pressure, so that the storage box 12 always maintains the predetermined position during movement. One end of the guiding section is rotatably connected to the base plate 111 via a rotating shaft, and the other end is fixedly connected to the limiting section.

[0064] Understandably, the guide section of the stop can guide the storage box 12 smoothly into the placement cavity 113 along a predetermined path, reducing the risk of jamming. At the same time, the limiting section provides elastic pressure after the storage box 12 is fully inside, limiting the accidental displacement or detachment of the storage box 12, thereby limiting and locking the storage box 12 and reducing the deviation of the storage box 12 in the placement cavity 113. This design optimizes the movement trajectory and fixing method of the storage box 12 in the mounting frame 11, improves the operational reliability and stability of the recycling device 100, and improves the accuracy of the relative position between the multiple storage boxes 12 and the fixing of the position of the storage box 12 relative to the mounting frame 11 when multiple storage boxes 12 are set in the same placement cavity 113.

[0065] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the card storage mechanism 1 includes multiple storage boxes 12, each of which is slidably connected to the mounting frame 11 and is provided with an opening 114. The multiple storage boxes 12 located in the placement cavity 113 abut against each other, and the projection of each storage box 12 toward the bottom wall of the placement cavity 113 coincides with the bottom wall of the placement cavity 113.

[0066] In this embodiment, the card storage mechanism 1 includes multiple storage boxes 12, each of which is slidably connected to the mounting frame 11. The mounting frame 11 has multiple openings 114, and each storage box 12 is provided with one opening 114. The storage box 12 can slide into or out of the placement cavity 113 along the direction of the opening 114. When multiple storage boxes 12 are located in the placement cavity 113, the storage boxes 12 are tightly abutted against each other, forming a gapless arrangement. Furthermore, the projection of each storage box 12 on the bottom wall of the placement cavity 113 completely coincides with the bottom wall of the placement cavity 113. For example, in a specific embodiment, the placement cavity 113 can be designed as a rectangular space, and the storage boxes 12 are tightly arranged in a matrix layout on the bottom wall so that the bottom surface of each storage box 12 completely coincides with its projection on the bottom wall.

[0067] Understandably, this embodiment achieves efficient utilization of the storage boxes 12 within the placement cavity 113. Multiple storage boxes 12 slide independently into and out of the placement cavity 113 along the opening 114, avoiding mutual interference during retrieval and placement operations. Simultaneously, the tight contact between the storage boxes 12 eliminates gaps, preventing cards from getting stuck or jammed. The design of the storage box 12's projection coinciding with the bottom wall ensures maximum space utilization and increases storage capacity. This layout also enhances the stability of the storage boxes 12 within the mounting frame 11, reducing the risk of equipment failure due to positional misalignment. Overall, this solution optimizes the storage efficiency and ease of operation of the storage boxes 12, improving the overall performance and reliability of the recycling device 100.

[0068] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the storage box 12 includes a box body 121 and a pull handle 122. The side of the box body 121 facing the card feeding mechanism 2 is provided with a receiving port 123, which is connected to the transmission channel 24. The pull handle 122 is located on the periphery of the side of the box body 121 facing the opening 114.

[0069] In this embodiment, the storage box 12 includes a box body 121 and a pull handle 122. The box body 121 has a cuboid structure and is injection molded from plastic material. A circular receiving port 123 is provided on the side of the box body 121 facing the card feeding mechanism 2. The receiving port 123 is connected to the transmission channel 24 to ensure that the card can smoothly enter the box body 121. The pull handle 122 is located on the periphery of the side of the box body 121 facing the opening 114. The pull handle 122 can be U-shaped and made of metal material. The two ends of the pull handle 122 are respectively fixed to the upper and lower edges of the side of the box body 121 to form a handle that is easy to grip. The receiving port 123 can be configured as a rectangular or trapezoidal structure, and its width matches the exit width of the transmission channel 24. For example, the width of the receiving port 123 is 1.05 to 1.1 times the exit width of the transmission channel 24 to ensure that the card slides smoothly into the box 121. The pull handle 122 can extend along the top or side of the periphery of the box 121, and its length accounts for 20% to 30% of the periphery length of the box 121 to provide sufficient force application area. The sliding connection between the box 121 and the mounting bracket 11 can be achieved by the cooperation of the guide groove and the guide rail. The depth of the guide groove is two-thirds of the height of the guide rail, thereby limiting the offset angle of the storage box 12 during the sliding process.

[0070] Specifically, when the card feeding mechanism 2 delivers the card into the storage box 12 through the transmission channel 24, the precise alignment of the receiving port 123 with the transmission channel 24 ensures that the card enters the box 121 in a straight line, avoiding accumulation due to path deviation. When it is necessary to remove the storage box 12, the operator can apply a horizontal pulling force through the pull handle 122. The lever effect of the pull handle 122 reduces frictional resistance. The peripheral layout of the pull handle 122 allows force to be applied from different angles; for example, the operator can hold the pull handle 122 from the top or side to adapt to the operational needs in narrow spaces. The integrated design of the box 121 and the pull handle 122 ensures that the receiving port 123 always faces the card feeding mechanism 2, ensuring that the receiving port 123 automatically aligns with the transmission channel 24 after each installation, while the pull handle 122 does not interfere with the card's transmission path. By matching the dimensions of the receiving port 123 and the transmission channel 24 and optimizing the mechanical properties of the pull handle 122, the storage box 12 can achieve a single operation completion time of less than 2 seconds during recycling and retrieval, while reducing the probability of card blockage to less than 0.5%.

[0071] Understandably, the overlapping projection features of the box 121 and the linear extension features of the guide rail work together to ensure that the box 121 remains horizontal during multi-directional pulling, preventing cards from tilting and piling up inside the box 121. When multiple storage boxes 12 are placed in the placement cavity 113 simultaneously, the overlapping projection features of each box 121 ensure that adjacent storage boxes 12 are tightly abutted, forming a stable array arrangement. The pull handle 122 facilitates the easy removal or insertion of the storage box 12 from the mounting frame 11. This achieves stable docking between the storage box 12 and the card feeding mechanism 2, avoiding potential blockages or misalignments during card transmission. Simultaneously, the design of the pull handle 122 improves the ease of operation of the storage box 12, allowing operators to quickly and easily remove or insert it, thus enhancing overall work efficiency. In addition, the integrated design of the box body 121 and the pull handle 122 realizes functional partitioning. The receiving port 123 focuses on transmission docking, while the pull handle 122 focuses on operation convenience. The two work together to ensure the efficiency and reliability of the storage box 12 in the recycling and retrieval process.

[0072] In one embodiment, the storage box 12 includes a box body 121 and a plurality of pull handles 122. The projection of the box body 121 located in the placement cavity 113 toward the bottom wall of the placement cavity 113 coincides with the bottom wall of the placement cavity 113. Each pull handle 122 is elastically connected to the side wall of the box body 121, and each pull handle 122 is provided with an opening 114.

[0073] In this embodiment, the feature that the projection of the box 121 coincides with the bottom wall can be achieved in two ways: the bottom dimension of the box 121 is completely consistent with the outline of the bottom wall of the placement cavity 113, or there is a gap between the side of the box 121 and the support plate 112 of the mounting frame 11, but the bottom edge is aligned with the edge of the bottom wall. The storage box 12 includes a box 121 and three pull-out components. The box 121 is configured such that when it is fully inserted into the placement cavity 113 of the mounting frame 11, its bottom outline is completely aligned with the boundary of the bottom wall of the placement cavity 113. The three pull-out components are respectively connected to three adjacent outer surfaces of the box 121 by spring sheets. Each pull-out component is directly opposite three different openings 114 on the side wall of the mounting frame 11. The box 121 is provided with a vertical partition for storing and recycling cards. The end of the pull-out component forms an arc-shaped protrusion that matches the edge of the opening 114. When the operator applies force from any opening 114, the corresponding pull-out component undergoes elastic deformation, causing the box body 121 to slide along the guide rail. The unoperated pull-out component remains in contact with the edge of the opening 114. The elastic connection of the pull-out handle 122 can be a spring sheet, a rubber hinge, or a shape memory alloy connecting rod.

[0074] Specifically, when the box 121 is pushed into the placement cavity 113, the guide groove at the bottom of the box 121 moves linearly along the guide rail until the box 121 is completely inside the placement cavity 113. At this time, the bottom edge of the box 121 completely overlaps with the bottom wall edge, and the limiting section of the stop member abuts against the side of the box 121 by elastic force. When the box 121 needs to be removed, the operator can choose to apply force to the pull handle 122 in any direction of the opening 114. The elastic connection structure of the pull handle 122 allows it to deflect at a 5-15° angle during the pulling process. After the pulling action is triggered, the box 121 slides out along the direction of the opening 114. After the pulling is completed, the elastic connection structure pushes the pull handle 122 to automatically reset, avoiding the pull handle 122 from blocking the operating space of the adjacent opening 114.

[0075] Understandably, the free pull-out operation of the storage box 12 in multiple openings 114 directions eliminates the spatial limitations caused by a single operating direction. The elastically connected pull-out components automatically adhere to the edge of the opening 114 of the mounting bracket 11 when not in operation, preventing the storage box 12 from shifting within the placement cavity 113. The overlapping design of the box body 121 projection with the bottom wall ensures that multiple storage boxes 12 are evenly stressed when stacked, avoiding jamming caused by the tilting of the box body 121 during card storage. The pull-out components corresponding to different openings 114 form a redundant positioning structure, which can maintain the stability of the storage box 12 through the remaining pull-out components even if any pull-out direction fails.

[0076] In one embodiment, the recycling device 100 further includes a first detection element, which is disposed on the mounting frame 11 and faces an opening 114; the storage box 12 is provided with a detection port, which is provided corresponding to the first detection element, and the first detection element passes through the detection port to detect the interior of the storage box 12.

[0077] Optionally, the recycling device 100 further includes a second detection element, which is disposed on the mounting bracket 11 and faces an opening 114. The second detection element is set to detect the position of the storage box 12.

[0078] In this embodiment, the first detection element may include a photoelectric sensor or an infrared sensor, whose installation position forms an angle of 30° to 90° with the axis of the opening 114 to ensure that the detection beam effectively penetrates the detection port, and a light guide structure is provided at the edge to reduce signal attenuation. The second detection element may be a contact microswitch or a non-contact Hall sensor, and its trigger point maintains a gap of 1mm to 5mm with the end of the storage box 12 when it is fully inserted.

[0079] Specifically, when the storage box 12 slides into the mounting bracket 11 along the guide rail, the second detection element generates a positioning signal by detecting the end position of the storage box 12. This signal can trigger the opening and closing control of the transmission channel 24. If the storage box 12 is not fully inserted, the second detection element blocks the signal output, preventing the card transmission action. At the same time, the first detection element continuously monitors the inside of the storage box 12 through the detection port. When it detects that the card stacking height exceeds 2 / 3 of the vertical height of the detection port, it generates a full-load warning signal. The detection port is set as a through hole penetrating the side wall of the storage box 12, and its axis coincides with the emission direction of the first detection element, so that the detection beam can penetrate the internal space of the storage box 12. By integrating the first and second detection elements on the same circuit board, the fixing structure and signal processing module of the mounting bracket 11 can be shared, thereby reducing hardware costs while realizing dual-modal detection.

[0080] As a preferred embodiment, the solution of this application is implemented as follows: A photoelectric sensor is configured on the side wall of the mounting bracket 11 as a first detection element, with its emitting end facing the opening 114. A rectangular detection port is opened on the corresponding position on the side of the storage box 12. When the storage box 12 is fully inserted, the infrared light from the photoelectric sensor passes through the detection port and enters the internal cavity of the storage box 12. The number of storage cards is determined by the intensity of the reflected light. Further, an infrared proximity sensor is set on the top of the mounting bracket 11 as a second detection element, with its detection area covering the outer edge of the opening 114. When the storage box 12 is pushed in to the contact limit block, the sensor receiving end captures the reflected signal of the metal tag and generates a position confirmation signal. The detection port is sealed with a semi-transparent material to ensure light penetration while preventing foreign objects from entering the storage box 12.

[0081] Understandably, this application implements a dual verification mechanism for the insertion depth of the storage box 12: the first detection element can penetrate the wall of the storage box 12 to monitor the stacking height of the storage cards in real time, triggering an alarm when a storage card touches a preset warning line; the second detection element accurately determines whether the storage box 12 has reached the installation position by detecting the positioning mark on the outer edge of the storage box 12, avoiding misalignment of the transmission channel 24 due to incomplete insertion. This solution simultaneously solves the technical obstacles in two dimensions: storage card capacity monitoring and storage box 12 physical positioning and placement detection, ensuring that the recycling device 100 immediately stops operating when the storage box 12 is installed abnormally or the storage card count is excessive, effectively preventing card blockage or falling accidents.

[0082] This utility model also proposes a circulating card issuing machine 300, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the circulating card issuing machine 300 includes a card feeding device 301 and the aforementioned recycling device 100. The card feeding device 301 is disposed on the mounting frame 11 of the recycling device 100 for feeding cards through the transmission channel 24 of the recycling device 100. The specific structure of the recycling device 100 is as described in the foregoing embodiments. Since this circulating card issuing machine 300 adopts all the technical solutions of all the foregoing embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the foregoing embodiments, and will not be described in detail here.

[0083] Understandably, the card feeding device 301 includes a card compartment, a card-topping mechanism, a card-feeding track, and a card-dispensing port connected in sequence. The card compartment is used to store cards, and the card-topping mechanism can push the cards located in the card compartment onto the card-feeding track. The card-feeding track then delivers the cards from the card-dispensing port to the user to issue cards. Alternatively, the user can also insert cards in the opposite direction through the card-dispensing port, and the cards will move along the card-feeding track into the storage box 12 to recycle the cards.

Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
