Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of card transportation technology, and in particular to a card transportation rotary track device. Background Technology

[0002] In the smart card production process, after a smart card has been processed on one production device, it needs to be transferred to the next for further processing. For example, after milling on a milling machine, the smart card needs to be transferred to a packaging machine for packaging. At this point, a transition transfer device is required to complete the transfer. Existing smart card production equipment, which typically operates in a straight line, is used to transfer cards between two production devices in a linear fashion. This means transferring the card from the output end of the card transition conveyor track on one production device to the input end on the card transition conveyor track on the next production device.

[0003] Because smart card production equipment is bulky, connecting two production devices in a straight line requires a lot of space in the production workshop. Therefore, when the space in the production workshop is limited and the two production devices cannot be placed in a straight line, it is necessary to arrange the two production devices at a certain angle to adapt to the space in the production workshop. In this case, the smart cards need to be rotated and adjusted in position during the transmission process.

[0004] Therefore, it is essential to provide a card transport rotary track device to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a card transport rotary track device. This invention uses a card transfer mechanism installed on the bent track section to transfer cards from one end of the transport track to the other end. At the same time, the drive motor installed in the card transfer mechanism can rotate the card adsorbed on the card suction cup 180° after receiving an electrical signal from the sensor installed in the sensing area, which facilitates the card turning around. The electromagnetic component added to the card transfer mechanism can improve the card adsorption efficiency. Finally, the card is engaged by the limiting card slot installed on the transport track, which facilitates the detachment and transport of the rotated card, thereby improving the card transport efficiency.

[0006] The above-mentioned objectives of this utility model are achieved through the following technical means.

[0007] A card transport rotary track device is provided, comprising two sets of transport tracks, a bent track between the two sets of transport tracks, and a card transfer mechanism installed on one side of the bent track; The card transfer mechanism includes a rotating arm, a control box mounted on the rotating arm, a drive motor mounted inside the control box, a rotating shaft mounted on the drive motor, a rotating inner liner connected to the rotating shaft, electromagnetic components mounted on both sides of the rotating inner liner, a connector mounted at the bottom of the rotating inner liner, and two sets of card suction cups mounted on the connector.

[0008] Specifically, the electromagnetic component includes a power supply unit, which is installed on both sides of the rotating inner liner. The power supply unit is connected to two sets of electromagnets, which are installed inside the rotating inner liner and extend into the card suction cup.

[0009] Specifically, the drive motor is equipped with control damping, and the drive motor's rotation frequency range is 180° per rotation.

[0010] Specifically, a sensing area is set on the curved track, and a sensor is installed inside the sensing area. The sensor is connected to the drive motor by an electrical signal.

[0011] Specifically, a limit slot is installed at the top of the conveyor track, and the limit slot is at the same height as the card suction cup.

[0012] This invention utilizes a card transfer mechanism installed on a bent track to transfer cards from one end of the conveyor track to the other. Simultaneously, a drive motor installed in the card transfer mechanism, upon receiving an electrical signal from a sensor installed in the sensing area, can rotate the card adsorbed on the card suction cup by 180°, facilitating card reversal. The electromagnetic component added to the card transfer mechanism enhances card adsorption efficiency. Finally, the card is engaged by a limiting slot installed on the conveyor track, facilitating the detachment and transport of the rotated card, thus improving card transport efficiency.

[0021] A limiting slot 17 is installed on the top of the conveyor track 1 along its length. The limiting slot 17 consists of two parallel nylon strips with a spacing of 86±0.2mm between them. A 0.3mm thick silicone strip is pasted on the inside of the slot. The top of the limiting slot 17 is 10mm above the surface of the track. The conveyor track 1 adopts a synchronous belt conveyor structure and is driven by a servo motor. The conveying speed can be adjusted by an externally installed servo motor.

[0022] A sensing area 15 is provided on the bent track 2, and a sensor 16 is installed inside the sensing area 15. The sensor 16 is electrically connected to the drive motor 6. The bent track 2 is located between two sets of conveying tracks 1, and has a 90° arc transition structure with a curvature radius of 200mm. The track width is the same as that of the conveying track 1. The track material is high-strength wear-resistant PU with a surface Shore hardness of 85A. The sensing area 15 is located near the junction of the two sets of conveying tracks 1 on the bent track 2. The sensing area 15 is an arc-shaped groove, and a diffuse reflection infrared sensor 16 is embedded in the arc-shaped groove. The sensor 16 has its probe facing upward, and the sensing distance is adjustable (30-50mm). The detection accuracy is ±0.5mm. At the same time, the sensor 16 can be electrically connected to the drive motor 6 to control the drive motor 6 to operate.

[0023] The card transfer mechanism 3 includes a rotating arm 4, a control box 5 mounted on the rotating arm 4, a drive motor 6 mounted inside the control box 5, a rotating shaft 7 mounted on the drive motor 6, a rotating inner liner 8 connected to the rotating shaft 7, electromagnetic components 9 mounted on both sides of the rotating inner liner 8, a connector 10 mounted at the bottom of the rotating inner liner 8, and two sets of card suction cups 11 mounted on the connector 10.

[0024] The drive motor 6 is equipped with a control damper 14. The rotation frequency range of the drive motor 6 is 180° per rotation. The rotating arm 4 is made of hollow rectangular aluminum alloy profile. One end is connected to the frame column through a deep groove ball bearing, and the other end is rigidly connected to the control box 5. The control box 5 is equipped with the drive motor 6, power module and PLC control board. The drive motor 6 is a high-precision servo motor with built-in encoder and magnetorheological control damper 14. The rotation frequency range of the drive motor 6 is 180° per rotation. The rotating shaft 7 is made of 40Cr alloy structural steel and is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 6 through a coupling. The rotating inner liner 8 is a cylindrical structure with symmetrical mounting slots on the inner and outer sides. Two sets of card suction cups 11 are installed at the bottom through connectors 10. The card suction cups 11 are made of silicone material and are integrally molded to adsorb the cards being transported.

[0025] The electromagnetic component 9 includes a power supply unit 12, which is installed on both sides of the rotating inner liner 8. Two sets of electromagnets 13 are connected to the power supply unit 12. The electromagnets 13 are installed inside the rotating inner liner 8, and the part of the electromagnets 13 that extends into the rotating inner liner 8 passes into the card suction cup 11.

[0026] It includes a power supply unit 12 and two sets of electromagnets 13. The power supply unit 12 is a 12V lithium battery pack and is installed in the mounting groove on the outside of the rotating inner tube 8. The electromagnets 13 are electrically connected to the power supply unit 12. The iron core of the electromagnet 13 penetrates through the side wall of the rotating inner tube 8 and its end is embedded in the central groove of the card suction cup 11. After being powered by the power supply unit 12, the electromagnet 13 can generate magnetic attraction, which facilitates the picking up of the card. The electromagnet 13 works with the pull-tab suction cup to stably attract the card, which makes it easy for the card to rotate and turn around.

[0027] A limit slot 17 is installed at the top of the conveyor track 1. The limit slot 17 is at the same height as the card suction cup 11. When the card being picked up moves to the limit slot 17, the card can be removed due to the limit slot 17 being at the same height as the card suction cup 11. At the same time, the rotating arm 4 is reset by the internally controlled PLC, completing the single card turning and transfer.

[0028] This invention uses a card transfer mechanism 3 installed on the bent track 2 to transfer cards from one end of the conveying track 1 to the other end of the conveying track 1. At the same time, the drive motor 6 installed in the card transfer mechanism 3 can rotate the card adsorbed on the card suction cup 11 by 180° after receiving an electrical signal from the sensor 16 installed in the sensing area 15, so that the card can turn around. The electromagnetic component 9 added to the card transfer mechanism 3 can improve the card adsorption efficiency. Finally, the card is engaged by the limiting card slot 17 installed on the conveying track 1, so that the rotated card can be dropped and transported, thus improving the card transport efficiency.
