Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of card issuing machine technology, and in particular to a transfer module for a high-speed card issuing machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the global transportation industry, highways, as an important component of modern transportation networks, have seen continuous expansion in construction scale and a surge in traffic volume. At highway entrances, card issuers, as key equipment at the front end of the toll collection system, bear the important task of issuing toll cards to passing vehicles. Their performance directly affects vehicle throughput and the overall operational quality of the toll collection system. The toll card serves as proof of entry for vehicles, recording crucial information such as the time and station of entry, providing a basis for subsequent toll settlement. With the rapid increase in highway traffic volume, higher demands are placed on the card issuer's speed and stability. Efficient and accurate card issuance can effectively reduce vehicle dwell time at entrances, avoid traffic congestion, and improve the overall capacity of highways.

[0003] Existing transfer modules are typically based on traditional mechanical transmission structures, such as belt drives and gear drives. These structures have many limitations during operation. For example, belt drives are prone to slippage after prolonged use, leading to unstable card transfer speeds and difficulty in guaranteeing accuracy at high speeds. While gear drives offer relatively high transmission accuracy, their complex structure and numerous components make them susceptible to significant mechanical wear and vibration at high speeds, thus affecting the accuracy and speed of card transfer.

[0004] The low card transfer efficiency of existing card issuing and transfer modules directly leads to a significant increase in waiting time for vehicles at highway entrances. This problem is particularly prominent during peak traffic hours, with a large number of vehicles queuing at the entrance to collect cards, causing traffic congestion and affecting the normal flow of traffic.

[0005] Therefore, this application develops a transfer module for a high-speed card issuing machine to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a transfer module for a high-speed card issuing machine to solve the problem of slow card issuing efficiency in the prior art.

[0007] The technical solution of this utility model is: a transfer module for a high-speed card issuing machine, comprising:

[0008] Support frame;

[0009] A card holder, used to hold cards, is mounted on one side within the support frame;

[0010] The card issuing assembly is located on the opposite side of the card holder within the support frame;

[0011] A transfer component is fixed on the side wall of the support frame. The transfer component is located between the card box and the card issuing component, and in the middle of the card box and the card issuing component. The transfer module quickly places the cards in the card box into the card issuing component in three-dimensional space.

[0012] Preferably, the transfer assembly includes a lifting module, a linear module, and a rotating module. The lifting module is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the support frame, and its travel range extends from the top to the bottom of the support frame. The linear module is fixedly disposed on the lifting module and can move up and down with the lifting module. The rotating module is slidably assembled on the linear module and can slide linearly along the linear module. The distal end of the rotating module is equipped with a suction nozzle for adsorbing cards to realize the card transfer operation.

[0013] Preferably, the surface where the hairpin assembly is located is divided into a first mounting surface and a second mounting surface along the longitudinal centerline of the supporting frame, and two hairpin assemblies are provided, located at the center of the first mounting surface and the second mounting surface, respectively.

[0014] Preferably, the card boxes are arranged in an array along the longitudinal direction within the support frame. When the array of card boxes is vertically projected onto the first mounting surface or the second mounting surface, the two card boxes furthest from the first mounting surface and the two card boxes furthest from the second mounting surface are equidistant from the corresponding card issuing component.

[0015] Preferably, the card issuing assembly has a first card issuing section and a second card issuing section, and a pre-storage section is fixedly provided between the first card issuing section and the second card issuing section for temporarily storing the cards during the card transfer process.

[0016] Preferably, the heights of the first card issuing section, the pre-storage section, and the second card issuing section gradually decrease.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0018] (1) The linear module is precisely positioned between the card box and the card issuing component and is equidistant from both. The rotating module can complete the transfer of the card from the card box to the card issuing component by rotating. No extra lifting action is required, which greatly simplifies the transfer process and improves the card issuing efficiency.

[0019] (2) Only one lifting module and one linear module are used, along with a rotating module, to enable the transfer components to move flexibly in three-dimensional space. This reduces the number of mechanical parts and simplifies the overall mechanical structure. The reduction of parts means a lower risk of failure, improved equipment reliability and stability, and reduced the failures that may be caused by a large number of parts, thus ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the equipment.

[0020] (3) The card issuing component is equipped with a first card issuing section, a pre-storage section and a second card issuing section. The pre-storage section can temporarily store cards during the card transfer process to avoid cards from being stuck or disordered on the transfer path, thus ensuring the continuity and stability of the card issuing process.

Second card issuing section; 4. Transfer assembly; 41. Lifting module; 42. Linear module; 43. Rotating module; 44. Pre-storage section. Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0028] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a transfer module of a high-speed card dispenser includes a support frame 1, card boxes 2, a card dispensing component 3, and a transfer component 4. The support frame 1 serves as the support structure for the entire transfer module and is installed on the ground to provide installation positions for other components. Multiple card boxes 2 are arranged sequentially along the longitudinal direction of the support frame 1 and are fixedly installed on one side inside the support frame 1. Each card box 2 has the function of holding multiple cards. On the opposite side of the card box 2, a card dispensing component 3 is provided. A transfer module is provided between the card dispensing component 3 and the card boxes 2. The function of the transfer component 4 is to move the cards in the card boxes 2 into the card dispensing component 3.

[0029] The transfer module includes a lifting module 41, a linear module 42, and a rotating module 43. The lifting module 41 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the support frame 1, and its stroke range covers the top to the bottom of the support frame 1 to meet the working stroke of the card issuing machine. The linear module 42 is fixedly installed on the lifting module 41 and can move up and down together with the lifting module 41. The rotating module 43 is slidably assembled on the linear module 42 and can slide linearly along the linear module 42.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the linear module 42 is precisely positioned between the card holder 2 and the card issuing component 3, and is equidistant from both. When the rotating module 43 rotates to move the card into the card issuing component 3, only the rotation action needs to be completed. There is no need for additional lifting actions after the upgrading module and the linear module 42 have completed their actions, which can complete the card movement operation and greatly improve the card issuing efficiency. At the same time, through the coordinated action of the lifting module 41 and the linear module 42, the transfer component 4 has the ability to move flexibly in three-dimensional space. It can quickly and accurately take out the card from the card holder 2 and place it into the card issuing component 3. Moreover, it is controlled by only one lifting module 41 and linear module 42, which not only reduces the number of mechanical parts and simplifies the overall mechanical structure and reduces the manufacturing cost of the equipment, but also reduces the risk of failure caused by a large number of parts, improves the reliability and stability of the equipment. At the same time, the control difficulty is greatly reduced, which allows the transfer component 4 to respond to control commands more quickly and accurately, realize efficient and accurate card transfer, and further improve the card issuing efficiency.

[0031] In this embodiment, taking the longitudinal centerline of the supporting frame 1 as a reference, the surface where the card issuing component 3 is located is divided into a first mounting surface 11 and a second mounting surface 12. At the center of the first mounting surface 11 and the second mounting surface 12, a card issuing component 3 is provided. That is, the card issuing machine has two card issuing components 3, which respectively issue cards to large vehicles (trucks, buses, etc.) and small vehicles (cars, SUVs, etc.).

[0032] A suction nozzle is installed at the far end of the rotating module 43 in the transfer component 4. When transferring cards, the suction force generated by the suction nozzle is used to attract the cards, thereby realizing the transfer operation of the cards from the card box 2 to the card issuing component 3.

[0033] Furthermore, when the array of card holders 2 is projected vertically onto the first mounting surface 11, the projection positions of each card holder 2 in the vertical direction will be displayed within the projection area corresponding to the first mounting surface 11. In this projection image, the projection points of the two farthest card holders 2 are equidistant from each other on the first mounting surface 11. Similarly, when the array of card holders 2 is projected vertically onto the second mounting surface 12, the projection points of the two farthest card holders 2 are also found within the projection area of ​​the second mounting surface 12, and the straight-line distances from these two projection points to the card issuing components 3 on the second mounting surface 12 are also equidistant.

[0034] Whether it is the card issuing area corresponding to the first mounting surface 11 or the second mounting surface 12, the distance distribution from the card box 2 to the corresponding card issuing component 3 is relatively balanced, which helps the transfer component 4 to quickly and accurately transfer the cards in the card box 2 to the corresponding card issuing component 3, reducing the round-trip transportation distance and improving the stability and efficiency of the overall card issuing operation.

[0035] The card issuing assembly 3 has a first card issuing section 31 and a second card issuing section 32. A pre-storage section 44 is fixedly provided between the first card issuing section 31 and the second card issuing section 32 for temporary storage of cards during card transfer. The heights of the first card issuing section 31, the pre-storage section 44, and the second card issuing section 32 are distributed in a gradually decreasing manner. The height difference makes the transfer of cards between functional areas more stable, reducing problems such as card damage and jamming that may occur due to sudden changes in card position or posture, and ensuring the accuracy and stability of the card issuing process.

[0036] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this utility model.
