[0045] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a programming device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown below, in conjunction with... Figure 1 Provide a detailed description.
[0046] like Figure 1As shown, the programming equipment 100 mainly includes a storage bin 110, a finished product bin 120, a programming platform 130, and a card handling device 140. The storage bin 110 is configured to store cards to be programmed, ensuring that the cards are stacked neatly and orderly, improving the accuracy of subsequent programming operations. The finished product bin 120 is configured to store finished cards, ensuring that the finished cards are stacked neatly and orderly for subsequent transportation and / or packaging. The programming platform 130 is equipped with a programming module 131, which can program the cards to be programmed on the programming platform 130, turning them into finished cards. The card handling device 140 includes a loading suction cup 141, a unloading suction cup 142, and a robotic arm 143. The robotic arm 143 is configured to drive the loading suction cup 141 to switch between the storage bin 110 and the programming platform 130 to accurately load the cards to be programmed. Furthermore, the robotic arm 143 is also configured to drive the unloading suction cup 142 to switch between the programming platform 130 and the finished product bin 120 to accurately unload the finished cards. Preferably, the robotic arm 143 is configured to simultaneously drive the loading suction cup 141 and the unloading suction cup 142, so that the loading of the cards to be programmed and the unloading of the finished cards are performed synchronously, thereby significantly improving production efficiency.
[0047] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a card handling device 140 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the robotic arm 143 may include a mounting plate 143a, a rotary actuator 143b, a first linear actuator 143c, and a second linear actuator 143d. The mounting plate 143a is placed in a horizontal position. The rotary actuator 143b may be a motor, a rotary cylinder, a rotary hydraulic cylinder, a rotary electromagnet, etc., and is located below and connected to the mounting plate 143a. The rotary actuator 143b is configured to drive the mounting plate 143a to rotate about a first axis (vertical axis), so that the mounting plate 143a can switch between a first position and a second position. The first linear actuator 143c and the second linear actuator 143d may be linear cylinders, linear hydraulic cylinders, electric actuators, etc. The first linear actuator 143c and the second linear actuator 143d are mounted on the mounting plate 143a and can move with the movement of the mounting plate 143a. The first linear actuator 143c is connected to the loading suction cup 141 and configured to drive the loading suction cup 141 to rise and fall; the second linear actuator 143d is connected to the unloading suction cup 142 and configured to drive the unloading suction cup 142 to rise and fall. Figure 1As shown, when the mounting plate 143a is in the first position, the first linear actuator 143c and the loading suction cup 141 are located above the storage bin 110, and the second linear actuator 143d and the unloading suction cup 142 are located above the programming platform 130. At this time, the first linear actuator 143c drives the loading suction cup 141 to descend and ascend, enabling the loading suction cup 141 to pick up the card to be programmed from the storage bin 110; the second linear actuator 143d drives the unloading suction cup 142 to descend and ascend, enabling the unloading suction cup 142 to pick up the finished card from the programming platform 130. Correspondingly, when the mounting plate 143a is switched to the second position, the first linear actuator 143c and the loading suction cup 141 are located above the programming platform 130, and the second linear actuator 143d and the unloading suction cup 142 are located above the finished product bin 120. At this time, the first linear driver 143c drives the loading suction cup 141 to descend and rise, enabling the loading suction cup 141 to accurately place the card to be burned onto the burning platform 130; the second linear driver 143d drives the unloading suction cup 142 to descend and rise, enabling the unloading suction cup 142 to accurately place the finished card into the finished product bin 120.
[0048] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the card handling device 140 may further include a first linear bearing 143e and a first guide rod 143f. The first linear bearing 143e is mounted on the mounting plate 143a, and the first guide rod 143f passes vertically through the first linear bearing 143e, with its lower end connected to the loading suction cup 141. This configuration allows the loading suction cup 141 to be more stable during its ascent and descent, ensuring that the loading suction cup 141 can accurately place the card to be programmed onto the predetermined position on the programming platform 130. Correspondingly, the card handling device 140 may further include a second linear bearing 143g and a second guide rod 143h. The second linear bearing 143g is mounted on the mounting plate 143a, and the second guide rod 143h passes vertically through the second linear bearing 143g, with its lower end connected to the unloading suction cup 142. The above settings can make the feeding suction cup 142 more stable during the rising and falling process, thereby ensuring that the feeding suction cup 142 can accurately put the finished product card into the finished product warehouse 120.
[0049] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the card handling device 140 may further include a support frame 143i. The mounting plate 143a is disposed above the support frame 143i, and the rotary driver 143b is disposed inside the support frame 143i, with the output shaft of the rotary driver 143b passing through the support frame 143i and connected to the mounting plate 143a.
[0050] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the feeding suction cup 141 and the unloading suction cup 142 are each equipped with one or more sets of vacuum nozzles 144, wherein the multiple sets of vacuum nozzles 144 are independently controlled. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a feeding suction cup 141 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the loading suction cup 141 is equipped with two sets of vacuum nozzles 144 (one vacuum nozzle 144 per set). These two sets of vacuum nozzles 144 can be controlled independently. The user can select one set to work according to actual needs, or both sets can work simultaneously, thereby better adapting to cards of different sizes and shapes to be programmed. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that in other embodiments, multiple vacuum nozzles 144 can also be used as a set. With the above configuration, the loading suction cup 141 and the unloading suction cup 142 can effectively and accurately perform precise and stable suction operations on larger square cards and irregularly shaped cards, greatly improving the versatility of the programming device 100.
[0051] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, a gas nozzle 145 is provided on the feeding suction cup 141. This gas nozzle 145 is used to spray gas downwards from the feeding suction cup 141 to eliminate electrostatic adsorption and adhesion between the cards to be programmed, ensuring that the feeding suction cup 141 picks up only one card at a time. Preferably, the position and / or jet direction of the gas nozzle 145 are adjustable to accommodate cards of different sizes and shapes, allowing users to adjust according to actual needs. For example... Figure 3 As shown, a support rod 146 is connected to the feeding suction cup 141. The support rod 146 has a through hole 146a through which a gas nozzle 145 passes. Optionally, the gas nozzle 145 is configured to slide (up and down) along the direction of the through hole 146a and rotate flexibly within it. This allows the user to precisely adjust the position and jet direction of the gas nozzle 145 according to actual production needs and the specific conditions of the card, ensuring that the gas is accurately sprayed onto the target area. Optionally, the support rod 146 has an elongated hole 146b, which is fixed by a matching bolt. When it is necessary to adjust the position and / or jet direction of the gas nozzle 145, the bolt can be loosened first, and then the support rod 146 can be moved and / or its angle adjusted. After the gas nozzle 145 is adjusted to the appropriate position and / or jet direction, the bolt is tightened to ensure that the support rod 146 is securely fixed in the new position, allowing the gas nozzle 145 to be accurately aimed at the target area.
[0052] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1As shown, the storage bin 110 may include a support platform 111 and multiple baffles 112, with the support platform 111 and the baffles 112 jointly defining a storage space. The support platform 111 has multiple connecting holes 111a on its upper side. The baffles 112 are bolted to the support platform 111, with the bolts engaging the connecting holes 111a to secure the baffles 112. Preferably, the multiple connecting holes 111a are evenly distributed on the support platform 111, and the number of connecting holes 111a is greater than the number of bolts. This design allows users to flexibly adjust the installation position of the baffles 112 according to the size and shape of the cards to be programmed, thereby achieving adaptive storage for cards of different specifications. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that in some embodiments, the finished product bin 120 may adopt the same structural design as the storage bin 110, which will not be described further here.
[0053] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the programming platform 130 is also equipped with a verification module 132. The verification module 132 is configured to read the finished product card and check the programming information in the finished product card to determine whether the finished product card is qualified.
[0054] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the programming apparatus 100 may further include a waste bin 150 and a rejection device 160, wherein the waste bin 150 may be disposed on one side of the programming platform 130 (e.g., Figure 1 (on the left side of the image), the rejection device 160 is configured to transfer defective cards on the programming platform 130 to the waste bin 150. Figure 4 A schematic diagram of a rejection device 160 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the rejection device 160 may include a pusher plate 161 and a third linear driver 162 disposed on the programming platform 130. The third linear driver 162 is connected to the pusher plate 161 and is used to drive the pusher plate 161 to move closer to and away from the waste bin 150 so as to push the defective cards on the programming platform 130 into the waste bin 150.
[0055] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the programming device 100 may further include a barcode scanner 170, which is positioned above the programming platform 130 and used to scan the barcode or QR code on the card (the card to be programmed or the finished card) to obtain the card's identity information. Preferably, the barcode scanner 170 is mounted on an adjustable bracket 180 so that the user can adjust the position and scanning direction of the barcode scanner 170 according to the actual situation.
[0056] Compared with existing technologies, the embodiments of this utility model provide a programming device 100, which is beneficial for automating the programming of larger square cards or irregularly shaped cards, reducing labor costs, and improving production efficiency and programming success rate. Specifically, when using the programming device 100 for programming, the cards to be programmed are neatly and orderly placed in the storage bin 110, awaiting subsequent operations. The feeding suction cup 141 in the card handling device 140 works in conjunction with the robotic arm 143 to accurately transport the cards to be programmed from the storage bin 110 to the programming platform 130, achieving fast and accurate feeding. After feeding is completed, the barcode scanner 170 scans the barcode or QR code on the card to obtain the card's identity information. The programming device 100 matches the corresponding programming information according to the card's identity information, and the programming module 131 performs the programming. After the burning process is completed, the verification module 132 reads the burning information in the card to determine whether the card is qualified. If the card is qualified, the unloading suction cup 142 in the card handling device 140 and the robotic arm 143 work together to transport the card to the finished product warehouse 120. If the card is unqualified, the rejection device 160 transfers the card to the waste warehouse 150.
[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
