Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of distribution equipment technology, and in particular to a card dispensing device. Background Technology

[0002] Card dispensers, as automated devices, are widely used in entertainment and commerce, such as automatic card vending machines, game machines, and lottery machines. Their core function is to automatically dispense cards or card holders containing cards. Traditional card dispensers typically rely on photoelectric sensors to monitor the drop status of cards or card holders and provide feedback to the control system. However, traditional card dispensers suffer from insufficient detection accuracy in practical applications, leading to incorrect card dispensing. Specifically, traditional photoelectric sensors are susceptible to interference from ambient light, dust, and vibration, resulting in misjudgments or missed detections of card drop status. For example, in complex outdoor environments or dusty game arcades, sensors may fail to accurately detect whether a card has been successfully dispensed, causing incorrect card dispensing, resulting in a degraded user experience and operational losses. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a card dispensing device that can prevent cards from being dispensed incorrectly.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a card issuing device, including a card issuing machine 1, and a card dispensing port 11 is provided on the front side of the card issuing machine 1. It should be noted that the card issuing machine 1 is an existing technology, such as the card issuing device for a card machine with application number "CN202120106025.5", and its specific structure and working principle will not be described in detail here.

[0025] The barcode scanner 2 is located above the card dispensing port 11 of the card issuing machine 1.

[0026] The toggle switch 3 is equipped with a lever 31. The lever 31 is located in front of the card dispensing slot 11. When the card at the card dispensing slot 11 touches the lever 31 and triggers the toggle switch 3, the barcode scanner 2 can scan and identify the QR code on the card. When the card is separated from the lever 31, the lever 31 can be reset by the action of a reset component, such as by a spring.

[0027] The controller (not shown in the figure) is electrically connected to the card issuer 1, the toggle switch 3 and the barcode scanner 2.

[0028] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the card dispenser 1 dispenses a card, it gradually conveys the card from the card outlet 11 forward. When the card moves to the point where it touches the lever 31 of the toggle switch 3 and activates the toggle switch 3, the toggle switch 3 sends a feedback signal to the controller, thereby controlling the card dispenser 1 to stop dispensing the card and controlling the barcode scanner 2 to scan. When the barcode scanner 2 scans and recognizes the QR code on the card, it sends a feedback signal to the controller, which then controls the card dispenser 1 to continue dispensing the card until the card is completely removed from the card outlet 11 and falls. At this time, the card separates from the lever 31, and the lever 31 is reset by the reset component, ready for the next operation. This device is equipped with a toggle switch 3 and a barcode scanner 2. When dispensing a card, the toggle switch 3 needs to be activated and the barcode scanner 2 needs to scan and recognize the QR code on the card for the card to be dispensed normally, thereby preventing the card from being dispensed incorrectly.

[0029] For example, a stand plate 12 is fixed on the left side of the card dispenser 1. The front side of the stand plate 12 is provided with a protrusion 121 that extends beyond the front side of the card dispenser 1. When the card is dispensed from the card outlet 11, the card is inside the protrusion 121 (i.e., the side of the stand plate 12 that is close to the card dispenser 1). A first fixing bracket 14 is fixed on the right side of the protrusion 121. The toggle switch 3 is installed on the first fixing bracket 14 to realize the installation and fixing of the toggle switch 3, so that the lever 31 is set on the front side of the card outlet 11, ensuring that the card can touch the lever 31 to activate the toggle switch 3 when it is dispensed.

[0030] For example, a horizontal plate 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the protrusion 121. The horizontal plate 13 is located above the front side of the card dispenser 1. When the card is sent out from the card outlet 11, the card is below the horizontal plate 13. The top of the horizontal plate 13 is provided with an avoidance groove 131. A second fixing bracket 15 is fixed on the horizontal plate 13. The barcode scanner 2 is installed on the second fixing bracket 15 and corresponds to the position of the avoidance groove 131, so as to realize the installation and fixation of the barcode scanner 2. The setting of the avoidance groove 131 ensures that the barcode scanner 2 can scan and recognize the QR code on the card.

[0031] For example, the card issuing machine 1 has upright plates 12 on its left and right sides respectively. The two upright plates 12 are arranged opposite each other, and the protrusions 121 of the two upright plates 12 are connected by a horizontal plate 13, making the connection structure between the upright plates 12 and the horizontal plate 13 more stable.

[0032] For example, the toggle switch 3 is also provided with a control plate 32, which is mounted on the first fixed frame 14. The bottom surface of the control plate 32 is provided with a connecting seat 321. The top end of the lever 31 is provided with a rotating shaft 311 that is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 321. The bottom end of the lever 31 is located in front of the card dispensing slot 11. When the card is dispensed from the card dispensing slot 11, the card will touch the bottom end of the lever 31, thereby pushing the lever 31 to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 311, thereby triggering the toggle switch 3. It is understood that the specific structure and principle of the lever 31 rotating to trigger the toggle switch 3 are existing technologies and can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art.

[0033] For example, the reset component includes a torsion spring 312, which is sleeved on the rotating shaft 311. One end of the torsion spring 312 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 321, and the other end of the torsion spring 312 is fixedly connected to the lever 31. When the card pushes the lever 31, causing the rotating shaft 311 to rotate, the torsion spring 312 torsionally generates elastic force. When the card separates from the lever 31, the rotating shaft 311 resets under the elastic force of the torsion spring 312, thereby realizing the reset of the lever 31.

[0034] For example, the device also includes a base 4 and a mounting platform 5. The mounting platform 5 is located on top of the base 4 and is rotatably connected to the base 4. The card dispenser 1 is mounted on the mounting platform 5. The mounting platform 5 can rotate relative to the base 4, thereby adjusting the angle between the card dispenser 11 and the horizontal plane, thereby improving its applicability.

[0035] For example, the base 4 has connecting plates 41 on its left and right sides respectively. The top of the connecting plates 41 is higher than the bottom of the base 4. The mounting platform 5 is located between the two connecting plates 41. The mounting platform 5 has connecting shafts 51 on its left and right sides respectively. The connecting shafts 51 are rotatably connected to the connecting plates 41 to realize the rotatable connection between the base 4 and the mounting platform 5. It can be understood that there is space between the bottom of the mounting platform 5 and the top of the base 4 for the mounting platform 5 to rotate, so as to ensure that the mounting platform 5 can rotate around the axis of the connecting shaft 51.

[0036] For example, the device also includes a card dispenser 6. It should be noted that the card dispenser 6 is a prior art, such as an automatic dispenser with easy adjustment as described in application number "CN202421460363.9". Its specific structure and working principle will not be described in detail here. The card dispenser 6 is mounted on the base 4. The front side of the card dispenser 6 is provided with a card dispenser outlet, so that the device can dispense both cards and card dispensers.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
