The pushing component 300 includes a fixing frame 310, a push plate 320, and a first driving component 330. The fixing frame 310 is fixedly connected to the first module 100. Module 100, push plate 320 is slidably connected to fixed frame 310, first drive member 330 is used to drive push plate 320 to slide so that the certificate can move towards the second module 200; receiving component 400 includes second drive member 410, drive wheel 420 and driven wheel 430, drive wheel 420 and driven wheel 430 are both arranged at the input end of second module 200, second drive member 410 is used to drive drive wheel 420 to rotate, drive wheel 420 and driven wheel 430 cooperate to transport certificate.

[0035] The first module 100 and the second module 200 are arranged adjacent to each other. The first conveying component can drive the document to move on the first module 100, and the second conveying component 610 can drive the document to move on the second module 200. The fixing frame 310 is fixedly connected to the first module 100. The first driving component 330 can drive the push plate 320 to slide on the fixing frame 310, so that the push plate 320 can push the document to move on the first module 100, so that the document can be conveyed from the first module 100 to the second module 200. The driving wheel 420 and the driven wheel 430 are both arranged at the input end of the second module 200. The second driving component 410 drives the driving wheel 420 to rotate, so that the driving wheel 420 and the driven wheel 430 cooperate to receive the document and drive the document to slide into the second module 200. By cooperating with the push component 300 and the receiving component 400, the document can be smoothly transferred from the first module 100 to the second module 200, thereby enabling the first conveying component and the second conveying component 610 to continuously convey the document, improve the continuity of conveying, replace manual handling, reduce labor intensity, and improve printing efficiency.

[0036] It should be noted that the document is driven to slide on the first module 100 by the first conveying component, and then the first driving component 330 drives the push plate 320 to slide on the fixed frame 310, so that the push plate 320 can push the document to move towards the second module 200, so that the document can move between the driving wheel 420 and the driven wheel 430. The second driving component 410 drives the driving wheel 420 to rotate, so that the driving wheel 420 and the driven wheel 430 cooperate to transfer the document to the second module 200. The second conveying component 610 drives the document to move on the second module 200, thereby realizing the conveying of the document between the first module 100 and the second module 200 and improving the continuity of the conveying.

[0038] Understandably, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The receiving component 400 also includes a connecting frame 440, a connecting rod 450, and a first elastic element. The connecting frame 440 is fixedly connected to the second module 200, the connecting rod 450 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 440, and the driven wheel 430 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 450. The first elastic element is arranged between the connecting frame 440 and the connecting rod 450 to drive the driven wheel 430 to move closer to the driving wheel 420. The connecting frame 440 is fixedly connected to the second module 200, one end of the connecting rod 450 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 440, and the other end is rotatably connected to the driven wheel 430. By setting the first elastic element between the connecting frame 440 and the connecting rod 450, the first elastic element can drive the connecting rod 450 to rotate, allowing the driven wheel 430 to move closer to the driving wheel 420. This enables the driving wheel 420 and the driven wheel 430 to cooperate in clamping the document, improving the stability, accuracy, and continuity of document transfer between processes.

[0039] In addition, by setting the first elastic element, the thickness difference of the document can be adaptively compensated, and the impact of mechanical vibration on the surface of the document can be reduced through elastic buffering, avoiding document damage caused by rigid contact and improving the stability of document transportation.

[0040] It should be noted that the first elastic element can be a torsion spring, a compression spring, or a rubber or silicone component, etc., which are elastic elements and will not be elaborated on here.

[0041] Understandably, referring to Figures 1 to 3A pusher block 321 is rotatably connected to the end of the pusher plate 320. A second elastic member is connected between the pusher plate 320 and the pusher block 321. When the pusher plate 320 moves towards the second module 200, the pusher block 321 remains vertical to push the document; when the pusher plate 320 moves away from the second module 200, the pusher block 321 can abut against the document to rotate and avoid it. The pusher block 321 is rotatably connected to the end of the pusher plate 320. The second elastic member is arranged between the pusher plate 320 and the pusher block 321, and can drive the pusher block 321 to abut against the pusher plate 320. When the push plate 320 moves toward the second module 200, the second elastic element drives the push block 321 to abut against the push plate 320, keeping the push block 321 in a vertical position to push the document; when the push plate 320 moves away from the second module 200, the push block 321 can abut against the document and can compress the second elastic element to make the push block 321 rotate to avoid the document, preventing the document from moving backward in the first module 100 and improving the stability of document delivery.

[0042] It should be noted that the push plate 320 is vertically provided with a retaining edge, and the push block 321 is rotatably connected to the push plate 320. The second elastic element is used to drive the push block 321 to abut against the retaining edge. When the push plate 320 moves towards the second module 200, the push block 321 abuts against the retaining edge, keeping the push block 321 in a vertical state to push the document. When the push plate 320 moves away from the second module 200, the document can abut against the push block 321, allowing the push block 321 to compress the second elastic element and separate from the retaining edge to avoid the document, enabling continuous delivery of the document and improving stability.

[0043] The second elastic element can be a torsion spring, a compression spring, or a rubber or silicone component, etc., which are elastic elements and will not be described in detail here.

[0044] Understandably, referring to Figure 2 A guide plate 110 is fixedly connected to the top of the first module 100. Multiple guide wheels 111 are rotatably connected to the guide plate 110, arranged along the length of the guide plate 110. The document can abut against the guide wheels 111. The guide plate 110 is fixedly connected to the top of the first module 100, and the guide wheels 111 are rotatably connected to the guide plate 110. This ensures that when the document slides on the first module 100, it is positioned between the first module 100 and the guide wheels 111, thereby limiting the document's position, reducing positional offset, preventing bending or tilting, and ensuring stable document transport.

[0045] It should be noted that by setting the guide wheel 111 to rotate and connect to the guide plate 110, the guide wheel 111 can be driven to rotate when the document is transported. This reduces the transport resistance of the document, improves the transport efficiency, and enables the document to accurately follow the predetermined trajectory, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the transport connection mechanism.

[0046] Understandably, referring to Figure 1 A storage component 500 is disposed between the first module 100 and the second module 200. The storage component 500 includes a support frame 510, a third drive component 520, and at least one storage compartment 530. The storage compartment 530 is slidably connected to the support frame 510. The third drive component 520 is used to drive the storage compartment 530 to slide on the support frame 510. Both sides of the storage compartment 530 are provided with openings 531, and the push component 300 and the receiving component 400 can respectively dock with the two openings 531. The support frame 510 is arranged between the first module 100 and the second module 200. The storage compartment 530 is slidably connected to the support frame 510. The third drive component 520 can drive the storage compartment 530 to slide on the support frame 510, so that the openings 531 on both sides of the storage compartment 530 can dock with the push component 300 and the receiving component 400, which facilitates the temporary storage of documents and avoids the accumulation of documents during transportation.

[0047] The number of storage compartments 530 is set to be multiple, so that the push component 300 can transport the documents from the first module 100 to the storage compartments 530. Multiple documents can be temporarily stored in multiple storage compartments 530, so that the documents on the first module 100 can be continuously output, avoiding the accumulation of documents on the first module 100 and keeping the delivery process continuous.

[0048] It should be noted that both sides of the storage compartment 530 are set as openings 531. When each storage compartment 530 contains documents, the push component 300 can drive the documents to continue to enter the storage compartment 530, so that subsequent documents can push out the documents in the storage compartment 530 and be transported to the second module 200, realizing the continuous transport of documents.

[0049] In addition, the third drive component 520 can be a linear cylinder, electric actuator, electric cylinder, linear slide module, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0050] Specifically, refer to Figure 1The storage component 500 also includes a first guide rail 540, which is fixedly connected to the support frame 510 in a vertical direction. A first slider 550 is fixedly connected to the storage compartment 530, and the first slider 550 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 540. The first guide rail 540 is fixedly connected to the support frame 510 in a vertical direction, and the first slider 550 is fixedly connected to the storage compartment 530. By setting the first slider 550 to slidably connect to the first guide rail 540, the storage compartment 530 can move smoothly along the length of the first guide rail 540, reducing the sliding resistance of the storage compartment 530, enhancing the stability and accuracy of the storage compartment 530 during sliding, reducing the shaking or offset of the storage compartment 530 during sliding, and improving the stability of document transport.

[0051] It should be noted that the number of first guide rails 540 and first sliders 550 can be set to multiple. Multiple first guide rails 540 are arranged in parallel at intervals on the support frame 510, and multiple first sliders 550 are fixedly connected to the storage compartment 530. The first guide rails 540 and the first sliders 550 correspond one-to-one.

[0052] Understandably, referring to Figure 2 The first driving component 330 includes a motor 331, a synchronous belt 332, and multiple synchronous pulleys 333. The multiple synchronous pulleys 333 are rotatably connected to a fixed frame 310, and cooperate to tension the synchronous belt 332. The push plate 320 is fixedly connected to the synchronous belt 332. The motor 331 drives the synchronous pulleys 333 to rotate, thereby driving the synchronous belt 332 to move. This allows the synchronous belt 332 to drive the push plate 320 to move closer to or further away from the second module 200. This not only improves the accuracy and consistency of document pushing but also makes the overall structure of the conveying connection mechanism more compact, facilitating installation and layout in limited spaces and increasing the flexibility of use.

[0053] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 The first driving component 330 also includes a controller, a baffle 334, and multiple detection components 335. The multiple detection components 335 are arranged at intervals along the length of the fixed frame 310. The baffle 334 is fixedly connected to the push plate 320, and the push plate 320 can trigger the detection components 335. The motor 331 and the detection components 335 are all electrically connected to the controller. The multiple detection components 335 are arranged at intervals along the length of the fixed frame 310, and the baffle 334 is fixedly connected to the push plate 320, so that the push plate 320 can move synchronously with the baffle 334, allowing the baffle 334 to trigger the detection components 335. This enables the controller to control the opening or closing of the motor 331, achieving precise control of the push plate 320's movement stroke, speed, and start / stop, thus improving the accuracy and stability of document pushing.

[0054] It should be noted that the detection component 335 can be an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a limit switch, etc.; the controller can be a microcontroller, a programmable logic controller, an industrial computer, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0055] Understandably, referring to Figure 2 The first driving component 330 also includes a second guide rail 336, which is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 310 in a horizontal direction. A second slider 337 is fixedly connected to the push plate 320, and the second slider 337 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 336. The second guide rail 336 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 310 in a horizontal direction, and the second slider 337 is fixedly connected to the push plate 320. By setting the second slider 337 to slidably connect to the second guide rail 336, the push plate 320 can move smoothly along the length of the second guide rail 336, thereby reducing the movement deviation of the push plate 320, improving the movement stability of the push plate 320, reducing the movement resistance of the push plate 320, slowing down wear, extending service life, and improving reliability.
