Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automated processing equipment for sheet media. Specifically, it is a sheet media rotary conveying device for precise delivery and efficient output of sheet media. Its core application is in the field of game consoles, used to realize the directional delivery and automatic output of sheet media such as game cards and item cards. It can also be extended and adapted to vending machines, self-service terminals and other equipment to complete the stable delivery and output of sheet media such as vouchers, coupons, and tickets, meeting the needs of automated circulation of sheet media in multiple scenarios. Background Technology

[0002] In game console operation and self-service equipment usage scenarios, the "transfer-output" process of sheet media is crucial to ensuring normal device interaction. Existing technologies for sheet media transfer devices suffer from the following core problems:

[0003] Low transmission efficiency: It mostly adopts a single-channel linear transmission structure, which can only transmit a single medium at a time. It cannot adapt to the needs of multiple players taking cards at the same time in game consoles and high-frequency output of self-service equipment. In addition, the transmission path is fixed and it is difficult to flexibly adjust the output position.

[0004] Poor stability: Lacking a precise media positioning structure, the media is prone to shifting or falling off during transmission. Furthermore, the lack of an effective position sensing mechanism makes it impossible to monitor whether the media is in place in real time, which can easily lead to malfunctions such as jamming or media damage.

[0005] Lack of accurate verification: The transmission and output links lack media information identification functions. If invalid media (such as damaged cards or misprinted cards) are mixed in, they cannot be screened in time, which can easily lead to equipment output errors and cause user disputes.

[0006] Poor structural adaptability: The transmission devices are mostly fixed single-layer designs, which cannot be expanded to increase the number of layers according to the media storage requirements. In addition, the number of output mechanisms is fixed, making it difficult to adapt to the multi-position output requirements of different devices.

[0007] To address the aforementioned pain points, there is an urgent need for a sheet-like media rotary conveying device with functions of "high-efficiency rotary conveying, precise positioning, information verification, and flexible adaptation" to solve the problems of low efficiency, poor stability, and weak adaptability of existing conveying devices. Utility Model Content

[0008] The present invention aims to provide a sheet-like medium rotary conveying device to achieve the following objectives:

[0009] It adopts a rotary conveying structure to improve the conveying efficiency of sheet media and supports multi-position, multi-level conveying and output;

[0010] Through precise positioning and sensing design, media offset, detachment, and jamming are avoided, thus improving transmission stability;

[0011] Integrated media information identification function enables invalid media screening, ensuring output accuracy;

[0012] The structure is optimized for adaptability, allowing the number of layers and output position to be adjusted according to scenario requirements, and is compatible with various types of sheet media.

[0013] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0014] A sheet-like medium rotary conveying device, characterized in that it includes a mounting plate, on which a rotary chuck, a drive mechanism for driving the rotary chuck to rotate, an outlet mechanism for outputting the sheet-like medium, and a push mechanism for pushing the sheet-like medium from the rotary chuck to the outlet mechanism are provided.

[0015] Furthermore, the rotary chuck is provided with a number of slots for loading sheet media at even intervals around its circumference. The driving mechanism drives the rotary chuck to rotate so that the sheet media in the slots rotate synchronously to the positions corresponding to the pushing mechanism and the outlet mechanism. The pushing mechanism pushes the sheet media in the slots toward the outlet mechanism, and the outlet mechanism completes the output of the sheet media.

[0016] Furthermore, the card slot includes card edges protruding from the rotating chuck at left and right intervals, and pressure blocks correspondingly disposed on the card edges; a card placement space for loading sheet media is formed between two adjacent card edges, and the pressure blocks extend laterally above the card placement space to press the inserted sheet media; an opening is formed on the inner side of the card placement space to cooperate with the card pushing mechanism, and an opening is formed on the outer side to cooperate with the outlet mechanism.

[0017] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a gantry frame mounted on the mounting plate and a drive motor mounted on the gantry frame; the rotating chuck is coaxially and rotatably mounted inside the gantry frame, and the drive motor drives the rotating chuck to rotate coaxially through a synchronizing element; a plurality of rollers are mounted on the mounting plate along the rotation direction of the rotating chuck via a bracket, and the rollers abut against the bottom of the rotating chuck.

[0018] Furthermore, the rotary chuck is a single-layer structure, or a multi-layer integrated structure formed by vertically stacking multiple rotary chucks.

[0019] Furthermore, the outlet mechanism includes a vertical plate vertically mounted on the mounting plate, the vertical plate having an outlet slot, and an output sensor for sensing the output of the sheet-like medium is provided at the outlet slot;

[0020] A horizontal plate extends inward from the inner side of the vertical plate. A loading sensor is provided at the bottom of the horizontal plate to detect whether a card slot is loaded with sheet-like media. An avoidance hole is provided on the card slot to cooperate with the loading sensor. An identification component is also provided at the bottom of the horizontal plate to identify information about the sheet-like media. A corresponding identification code is provided on the sheet-like media to cooperate with the identification component.

[0021] Furthermore, there are multiple export mechanisms; the number of horizontal plates on the same vertical plate corresponds to the number of layers of the rotating chuck.

[0022] Furthermore, the rotating chuck has a ring-shaped structure, and the pushing mechanism is located at the center of the rotating chuck;

[0023] The card-pushing mechanism includes a base frame and a card-pushing electric cylinder mounted on the base frame. The push rod of the card-pushing electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the card-pushing plate. A first slide rail is mounted on the base frame, and a first slider that slides in cooperation with the first slide rail is fixedly connected to the bottom of the card-pushing plate.

[0024] The base frame is provided with position sensors on the front and rear sides along the moving direction of the push plate for sensing the position of the push plate, and the push plate is provided with a first sensing plate that cooperates with the position sensors.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] High transmission efficiency: It adopts a ring-shaped rotating chuck with a multi-layer structure design, which can load and transmit multiple sheet media at the same time; it supports multiple outlet mechanism settings, which can meet the needs of multiple players in the game machine to pick up cards at the same time and the multi-channel output of self-service equipment. The transmission efficiency is 2-3 times higher than that of traditional linear transmission devices.

[0027] High operational stability: The pressure block of the rotary chuck can prevent the medium from falling off, the roller of the drive mechanism reduces rotational friction, and the slide rail slider of the pusher mechanism ensures accurate pushing. With the real-time monitoring of the loading sensor and the output sensor, the probability of medium deviation, jamming and damage is greatly reduced.

[0028] High output accuracy: The integrated identification component works in conjunction with the identification code to verify media information in real time, effectively filter out invalid media, avoid outputting wrong or invalid cards, and improve the user experience;

[0029] Wide adaptability to various scenarios: The rotating chuck supports flexible selection of single or multiple layers, the number of exit mechanisms can be adjusted as needed, and it is compatible with different specifications of sheet media such as game cards, voucher cards, and tickets, and is suitable for various types of equipment such as game machines and vending machines.

[0047] like Figure 1-12 As shown, this utility model provides a sheet-like media output device, the core of which includes a mounting plate 1, a rotary transmission device 2, and a replenishment device 3. The three work together to automate the entire process of "storage-card replenishment-transmission-output-identification" of the sheet-like media 5. The specific structure and functions are as follows:

[0048] 1. Overall Architecture

[0049] Mounting plate 1: As the basic supporting component of the device, it is used to fix the rotary transmission device 2 and the supplementary device 3. The two are arranged along the plane of mounting plate 1. The supplementary device 3 is located on the side of the rotary transmission device 2 to ensure that the supplementary clamping action can accurately align with the clamping slot of the rotary transmission device 2, forming a stable "supplement-transmission-output" link.

[0050] Rotary transmission device 2: Its core function is "transfer + output" of sheet medium 5, including rotary chuck 4, drive mechanism, outlet mechanism 9 and push mechanism 10. The four work together to realize the directional transfer and precise output of sheet medium 5.

[0051] Supplementing device 3: Its core function is "storage + card replacement" of sheet medium 5, including card storage component and card replacement component. When the card slot of the rotary transmission device 2 detects a missing card, it automatically replenishes the sheet medium 5 to the card slot to ensure the continuous operation of the rotary transmission device 2.

[0052] 2. Detailed structure and function of rotary transmission device 2

[0053] (1) Rotary chuck 4

[0054] Structural form: It can adopt a single-layer structure or a multi-layer integrated structure. When it is a multi-layer structure, the upper and lower adjacent rotating chucks 4 are fixedly connected by support columns to form an overall synchronous rotating structure, which can be flexibly selected according to storage needs. The rotating chuck 4 is a ring structure, and the central area is reserved for the installation space of the card pushing mechanism 10.

[0055] Slot design: Several slots are evenly spaced along the circumference of the rotating chuck 4 to stably load sheet media 5. Each slot includes:

[0056] The chuck edge 41 protrudes from the surface of the rotating chuck 4 at left and right intervals. The two adjacent chuck edges 41 form a "carding space" to limit the lateral position of the sheet medium 5 and prevent lateral displacement.

[0057] Pressure block 42: Correspondingly set at the top of the card edge 41, extending laterally above the card placement space, forming a vertical clamping force on the sheet medium 5 inserted into the card placement space, preventing the sheet medium 5 from falling off during the rotation of the rotating chuck 4;

[0058] 43: The clearance hole is located at the bottom of the card slot and is used in conjunction with the subsequent "second sensor 97" to detect whether the card slot is loaded with sheet-like medium 5;

[0059] Opening design: An opening is formed on the inner side of the card placement space to cooperate with the card pushing mechanism 10 (for the card pushing plate 15 to extend into and push the medium), and an opening is formed on the outer side to cooperate with the outlet mechanism 9 (for the sheet-like medium 5 to be output to the card outlet 93).

[0060] (2) Drive mechanism

[0061] Components include: gantry frame 6, drive motor 7, and rollers 8;

[0062] Gantry 6: Mounted on mounting plate 1, it has a frame structure and is used to stably support the rotating chuck 4, ensuring that the rotation axis of the rotating chuck 4 is fixed.

[0063] Rotary chuck 4 installation: The rotary chuck 4 is coaxially and rotatably mounted inside the gantry 6 to ensure that the axis does not deviate during rotation and to improve transmission stability;

[0064] Power transmission: The drive motor 7 is fixedly installed on the gantry 6 and is connected to the rotary chuck 4 via a synchronous belt. After the drive motor 7 is started, it can drive the rotary chuck 4 to rotate at a constant speed along the axis, thereby realizing the position switching of the chuck slot.

[0065] Auxiliary support: Several rollers 8 are set on the mounting plate 1 along the rotation direction of the rotary chuck 4 via a bracket. The rollers 8 abut against the bottom of the rotary chuck 4 to support the weight of the rotary chuck 4, reduce friction between the rotary chuck 4 and other components, extend service life and improve rotation smoothness.

[0066] (3) Export agency 9

[0067] Core functions: Enables directional output of sheet media 5, output status sensing, card slot missing detection, and media information identification. Multiple outlet mechanisms 9 can be set according to requirements to meet the needs of card dispensing at multiple positions.

[0068] Structural components: including vertical plate 91, horizontal plate 92, card outlet 93, and various sensing / identification components;

[0069] Vertical plate 91: It is vertically fixed on the mounting plate 1. The plate body has an "outlet 93" as an output channel for the sheet medium 5. An inclined plate 94 is provided at the lower edge of the outlet 93. The inclined plate 94 is in an inclined state to facilitate the smooth sliding out of the sheet medium 5 and avoid jamming at the outlet 93.

[0070] Output sensing: The card dispensing port 93 is equipped with first sensors 96 on the upper and lower sides respectively. The inclined plate 94 is provided with sensing holes 95 that cooperate with the first sensors 96. When the sheet medium 5 passes through the card dispensing port 93, the signal of the first sensor 96 is blocked by the medium, triggering the "card dispensing successful" feedback. If the signal is not blocked, the "card dispensing failed" message will be displayed.

[0071] Horizontal plate 92: Extends horizontally inward from the inside of vertical plate 91; a second sensor 97 and a camera 98 are installed at the bottom of horizontal plate 92; wherein:

[0072] Second sensor 97: used to sense whether the card slot is loaded with sheet medium 5. If the signal of the second sensor 97 can pass through the clearance hole 43 of the card slot, it indicates that there is no medium in the card slot; if the signal is blocked, it indicates that the card slot is loaded with medium.

[0073] Camera 98: Used to identify specific information of the sheet medium 5. The sheet medium 5 is equipped with a corresponding identification code 51 (such as a QR code or barcode). Camera 98 can read the identification code 51 and verify the validity of the medium to avoid invalid card output.

[0074] Multi-layer adaptation: The number of horizontal plates 92 set on the same vertical plate 91 corresponds to the number of layers of the rotating chuck 4, ensuring that the card slot of each layer of the rotating chuck 4 can be detected by the second sensor 97 and recognized by the camera 98.

[0075] (4) Card pushing mechanism 10

[0076] Installation position: Since the rotary chuck 4 has a ring structure, the push mechanism 10 is fixedly set at the center of the rotary chuck 4;

[0077] Structural components: including base frame 11, pusher cylinder 12, pusher plate 15, slide rail slider assembly and position sensing component;

[0078] Power components: The pusher cylinder 12 is fixedly installed on the base frame 11. The push rod of the pusher cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the pusher plate 15. When the pusher cylinder 12 extends or retracts, it can drive the pusher plate 15 to move in a straight line, thereby pushing the sheet medium 5.

[0079] Guide components: A first slide rail 13 is fixedly installed on the base frame 11, and a first slider 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the push plate 15. The first slider 14 slides in cooperation with the first slide rail 13 to ensure that the push plate 15 moves along a fixed track and avoids deviation that could cause jamming.

[0080] Position control: The base frame 11 is equipped with second sensors 17 on both the front and rear sides along the movement direction of the push plate 15. The push plate 15 is fixedly equipped with a second sensing plate 16 that cooperates with the second sensors 17. When the push plate 15 moves to the "push in place" or "reset in place" position, the second sensing plate 16 triggers the second sensor 17, and the push cylinder 12 stops moving to prevent overtravel damage to the components.

[0081] 3. Detailed structure and function of supplementary device 3

[0082] (1) Storage card assembly

[0083] Core function: Batch storage of sheet media 5, and automatic switching to backup storage units when a single storage unit is exhausted, to achieve continuous card storage;

[0084] Structural components: including card storage base 301, card storage motor 302, adjusting screw 303, second slider 304, card storage base plate 305 and card storage cylinder 306;

[0085] Support base: The storage card base 301 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 1 to provide stable support for the storage card assembly;

[0086] Movement Drive: The card storage motor 302 is fixed to one side of the card storage base 301. The output shaft of the card storage motor 302 is rotatably connected to one end of the adjusting screw 303. The adjusting screw 303 is rotatably set along the length direction of the card storage base 301. The adjusting screw 303 is threadedly engaged with the second slider 304. The bottom of the second slider 304 is slidably engaged with the second slide rail set along the length direction of the card storage base 301. After the card storage motor 302 is started, it can drive the adjusting screw 303 to rotate, thereby driving the second slider 304 to move along the second slide rail.

[0087] Storage unit: The top of the second slider 304 is fixedly connected to the card base plate 305. Several card cylinders 306 are evenly arranged on the card base plate 305. Each card cylinder 306 is used to stack the sheet medium 5 from bottom to top. Each card cylinder 306 has a card outlet at the bottom for the sheet medium 5 to be pushed out when the card is replenished.

[0088] Limit control: A third sensor 307 is set on both sides of the card base 301, and a third sensing plate 308 is set on both sides of the card base plate 305. When the card base plate 305 moves to the position of "leftmost card cylinder 306 in place" or "rightmost card cylinder 306 in place", the third sensing plate 308 triggers the third sensor 307, and the card motor 302 stops rotating to prevent the card cylinder 306 from shifting and causing card replacement misalignment.

[0089] (2) Card replacement component

[0090] Core function: to accurately push the sheet-like medium 5 in the card storage cylinder 306 into the card slot of the rotary transmission device 2 to complete the card replenishment action;

[0091] Structural components: including card replacement base 311, card replacement plate 314, transmission components and limit sensing components;

[0092] Support base: The card replacement base 311 is fixedly installed on one side of the card storage base 301, corresponding to the card slot position of the rotary transmission device 2, to ensure that the medium pushed by the card replacement plate 314 can accurately enter the card slot;

[0093] Mobile drive: The card replacement plate 314 and the card replacement base 311 are slidably guided together, and a transmission rack 313 is fixedly installed on the card replacement plate 314; a card replacement motor 312 is erected on the card replacement base 311 through a bracket, and a transmission gear 318 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the card replacement motor 312. The transmission gear 318 meshes with the transmission rack 313 for transmission; after the card replacement motor 312 is started, it drives the card replacement plate 314 to slide along the card replacement base 311 through the gear and rack transmission to realize card pushing and card replacement;

[0094] Limit control: A fourth sensor 319 is provided on both sides of the card replacement base 311, and a fourth sensing plate 320 that cooperates with the fourth sensor 319 is fixedly installed on the card replacement plate 314; when the card replacement plate 314 moves to the "card replacement in place" or "reset in place", the fourth sensing plate 320 triggers the fourth sensor 319, and the card replacement motor 312 stops operating, ensuring card replacement accuracy and component safety.

[0095] (3) The sensing control logic of supplementary device 3

[0096] The supplementary device 3 also includes three types of key sensing components, forming a closed-loop control system of "card shortage detection - automatic switching - precise card replacement":

[0097] The card replenishment sensor is fixedly installed on the card replenishment base 311. Each card storage cylinder 306 has a fifth sensing plate 315 fixedly installed at the bottom to cooperate with the card replenishment sensor. When a card storage cylinder 306 moves to the card replenishment position, the fifth sensing plate 315 triggers the card replenishment sensor and feeds back a "card storage cylinder 306 in position" signal to ensure accurate card replenishment position.

[0098] The fifth sensor 309 is located between the card replacement base 311 and the card storage base 301. It is used to sense whether there is still sheet-like medium 5 in the card storage cylinder 306 located at the card replacement position. If the fifth sensor 309 does not sense the medium, it triggers the card storage motor 302 to operate, drives the adjusting screw 303 to rotate, and switches the next spare card storage cylinder 306 to the card replacement position.

[0099] The sixth sensor 310 is fixedly installed on the side of the card storage base 301 and is used to sense whether the card slot in the rotary transmission device 2 that is "reaching the card replacement position" is loaded with sheet medium 5. If the sixth sensor 310 senses that the card slot is missing a card, it triggers the card replacement motor 312 to operate, drives the card replacement plate 314 to extend, pushes the sheet medium 5 at the bottom of the card storage cylinder 306 out of the card outlet, and pushes it into the corresponding card slot to complete the card replacement.

[0100] The following section uses "game card output in a game console scenario" as an example to explain the workflow of this device in detail:

[0101] (a) Initial state preparation

[0102] Game cards (sheet-shaped media 5) are stacked into the card storage cylinder 306 of the supplementary device 3, and the stacking method is "stacked from bottom to top" to ensure that the bottommost game card can be ejected from the card ejection port at the bottom of the card storage cylinder 306; depending on the number of players and the card ejection position requirements of the game machine, the rotating chuck 4 is selected to be a single-layer or multi-layer structure, and the number of exit mechanisms 9 is set accordingly (e.g., two exit mechanisms 9 are set for a two-player game machine).

[0103] Power on the device and initialize all sensing components: the third sensor 307 of the card storage assembly confirms that the card storage base plate 305 is in the "initial card storage cylinder 306 in place" position; the fourth sensor 319 of the card replenishment assembly confirms that the card replenishment plate 314 is in the "reset" position; and the second sensor 97 of the outlet mechanism 9 confirms the initial state of the card slot of the rotating chuck 4 (empty card or pre-stored card).

[0104] (II) Card Replacement Procedure (When a Card Slot is Missing)

[0105] The drive motor 7 of the rotary transmission device 2 starts, driving the rotary chuck 4 to rotate at a constant speed; when a certain slot rotates to the "replenishment position" (aligned with the replenishment component), the drive motor 7 stops, and the sixth sensor 310 detects whether the slot is missing a card.

[0106] If the sixth sensor 310 detects a missing card in the card slot (synchronously triggering the second sensor 97 signal through the clearance hole 43), the replacement sensor checks whether the card storage cylinder 306 is in place: if the card storage cylinder 306 is in place (the fifth sensor plate 315 triggers the replacement sensor), proceed to the next step; if it is not in place, the card storage motor 302 starts, driving the adjusting screw 303 to rotate, causing the card storage base plate 305 to move horizontally until the fifth sensor plate 315 of a certain card storage cylinder 306 triggers the replacement sensor, and the card storage motor 302 stops;

[0107] The fifth sensor 309 detects whether there is a game card in the card storage cylinder 306 at the card replenishment position. If there is a card, the card replenishment motor 312 starts, driving the transmission gear 318 to rotate. Through the transmission rack 313, the card replenishment plate 314 extends towards the card slot, pushing out the game card at the bottom of the card storage cylinder 306 and into the card slot. When the card replenishment plate 314 moves to the "card replenishment in place" position, the fourth sensor plate 320 triggers the fourth sensor 319, the card replenishment motor 312 reverses, and drives the card replenishment plate 314 to reset until the fourth sensor plate 320 triggers the fourth sensor 319 on the other side, and the card replenishment motor 312 stops.

[0108] If the fifth sensor 309 detects that there is no game card in the card storage cylinder 306, the card storage motor 302 starts, drives the adjusting screw 303 to rotate, and moves the card storage base plate 305 to switch to the next backup card storage cylinder 306; when the fifth sensor plate 315 of the backup card storage cylinder 306 triggers the replacement sensor, the card storage motor 302 stops and repeats the above card replacement action until the card slot is replaced.

[0109] (III) Card dispensing process (when receiving the card dispensing instruction from the game machine)

[0110] After the game machine receives the player's "card dispensing command", it sends a card dispensing signal to this device; the drive motor 7 starts again, driving the rotating chuck 4 to rotate, rotating the card slot with the loaded game card to the "card dispensing position" (aligned with the card dispensing port 93 of a certain exit mechanism 9), and the drive motor 7 stops;

[0111] When the card-pushing mechanism 10 starts its electric cylinder 12, the push rod extends and drives the card-pushing plate 15 to move along the first slide rail 13 toward the card slot; the card-pushing plate 15 extends into the inner opening of the card slot and pushes the game card to move toward the outer opening until the game card passes through the card outlet 93 and slides out along the inclined plate 94;

[0112] When the game card passes through the card dispensing slot 93, the signal of the first sensor 96 is blocked. The first sensor 96 sends a "card dispensing successful" message to the game machine. At the same time, the camera 98 reads the identification code 51 (such as a QR code) on the game card to verify its validity. If valid, the card is dispensed; if invalid, the device triggers an alarm to prompt staff to handle the situation.

[0113] After the pusher plate 15 is pushed into place, the second sensor plate 16 triggers the second sensor 17 on one side of the base frame 11, and the pusher cylinder 12 reverses, causing the pusher plate 15 to reset. When the pusher plate 15 is reset into place, the second sensor plate 16 triggers the second sensor 17 on the other side of the base frame 11, and the pusher cylinder 12 stops. The drive motor 7 starts again, driving the rotary chuck 4 to rotate, ready for the next card replenishment or card dispensing.

[0114] If the game machine needs to dispense cards to multiple players simultaneously (such as a two-player game machine), the drive motor 7 can drive the rotating chuck 4 to rotate, rotating the game cards in different slots to the corresponding exit mechanism 9, and simultaneously activating multiple card pushing mechanisms 10 (multi-layer rotating chuck 4 is equipped with multiple card pushing mechanisms 10), so that multiple players can pick up cards at the same time and meet the needs of efficient card dispensing.

[0115] This implementation method is only for game console scenarios. If applied to vending machines, simply replace the "game card" with a "coupon / voucher card", adjust the size of the card storage cylinder 306 to adapt to the media specifications, and position the outlet mechanism 9 to correspond to the card dispensing slot of the vending machine. The workflow is the same as described above, demonstrating the device's flexibility in adapting to different scenarios.

[0116] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0117] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
