Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic card processing equipment, and in particular to a dual-station card issuing machine. Background Technology

[0002] During the production or packaging of cards, it is often necessary to accurately distribute stacks of cards, one by one or in batches, to designated material boxes or conveyor lines. Traditional manual card distribution methods are inefficient, labor-intensive, and prone to errors.

[0003] Existing automated card issuing equipment is mostly designed for single-station operation, resulting in limited issuing efficiency. Furthermore, during the issuing process, issues such as card clamping, positioning, and accurate placement of cards into material boxes with potentially variable locations remain, leading to operational inefficiencies and poor adaptability, impacting production cycle time and reliability. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a highly efficient, stable, and adaptable automated card issuing device. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a dual-station card issuing machine, which is highly efficient, stable in operation, and capable of automatically completing card feeding, buffering, conveying, pressing, gripping, and accurate placement into the material box.

[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the present invention provides a dual-station card issuing machine, including a frame 1, and along the length of the frame 1 from front to back (within the range shown in the figure). Figure 1From the perspective of the conveying direction (from left to right), the buffer conveyor line 2, the card issuing conveyor line 3, and the card dispensing conveyor line 4 are installed sequentially. These three conveyor lines are set in two parallel sets in the width direction of the frame 1, forming two synchronously operating channels for conveying pallets, realizing dual-station feeding.

[0022] The starting end of buffer conveyor line 2, i.e. Figure 1 On the far left, extending beyond the left frame of the machine frame 1, an exposed loading position 21 is formed, facilitating the stacking of pallets by operators. A loading blocking mechanism 8 is installed on the buffer conveyor line 2, immediately behind the loading position 21. This mechanism includes two sets of upper clamping blocking cylinders 81 symmetrically mounted on both sides of the machine frame 1, with loading blocking plates 82 fixed to the cylinder piston rods. At the junction of the end of the buffer conveyor line 2 and the beginning of the card issuing conveyor line 3, a card issuing blocking mechanism 9 is installed. Its structure is the same as the loading blocking mechanism 8, including two sets of card issuing blocking cylinders 91 and card issuing blocking plates 92. Card sensing photoelectric sensors 10 are installed on the machine frame 1 corresponding to the loading position 21, the loading blocking plate 82, and the card issuing blocking plate 92 to detect the card's position.

[0023] A card pressing mechanism 6 is installed in the rack space on one side of the card issuing conveyor line 3. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the card pressing mechanism 6 mainly includes a lower pressing back frame 61 mounted on the frame 1 via an adjustable fixing plate 65. A lower pressing cylinder 62 is fixed to the top of the lower pressing back frame 61, and its drive end is connected downward to a roller bracket 63. A freely rotatable lower pressing roller 64 is mounted at the front end of the bracket. Below the card issuing conveyor line 3, an auxiliary card issuing assembly is also installed, including a lifting cylinder 66, on which a nylon block 67 of a specific shape is mounted. The upper part of the nylon block 67 is in contact with the conveyor line.

[0024] On one side of the card dispensing conveyor line 4, there is a material conveyor line 5 perpendicular to the length direction of the frame 1, on which material boxes 51 to be loaded with cards are placed. The material boxes 51 have side-by-side card slots.

[0025] A gripping mechanism 7 is installed in the space above the card delivery conveyor line 4 and above the material conveyor line 5. As shown in the figure, the gripping mechanism 7 includes a horizontally moving module 71 installed across this space. A slide table 72 is mounted on the slider of the horizontally moving module 71. A vacuum generator 73 is mounted on one side of the slide table 72, and an air pipe pressure plate 74 is mounted on its upper surface. A first cylinder 76 is vertically mounted on the other side of the slide table 72 via a mounting plate 75. The drive end of the first cylinder 76 points downwards, and its end is connected to a second cylinder 77. The drive end of the second cylinder 77 extends horizontally toward the material conveyor line 5, and its end is connected to a suction cup fixture 78, the lower surface of which is equipped with multiple suction cup bodies 79. The suction cup bodies 79 are connected to the vacuum generator 73 via air pipes (not shown in the figure).

[0026] The specific working principle of this utility model is as follows: The worker places two stacks of cards on the loading station 21 of the dual-station equipment, and the equipment operates. The loading blocking plate 82 of the loading blocking mechanism 8 retracts, the buffer conveyor line 2 starts, and the pallets are sent into the buffer area. After the end passes through the photoelectric sensor 10, it stops, and the blocking plate 82 extends. The loading is repeated until the buffer line 2 is full.

[0027] When the card issuing conveyor line 3 needs to replenish a card, the blocking plate 92 of the card issuing blocking mechanism 9 retracts, and the buffer line 2 and the card issuing line 3 operate simultaneously, sending the card from the buffer area into the card issuing area. After the card is in place, the blocking plate 92 extends, and the card issuing line 3 continues to send the card to the front end to block the blocking plate.

[0028] During card issuance, the pressing cylinder 62 of the card pressing mechanism 6 drives the pressing roller 64 to press down and press the topmost card; at the same time, the lifting cylinder 66 drives the nylon block 67 to rise, lifting one side of the card stack to form a ramp. The card issuance conveyor line 3 starts, and the card is conveyed from the card outlet to the gripping position.

[0029] The gripping mechanism 7 operates as follows: First cylinder 76 descends while second cylinder 77 extends, aligning the suction cup body 79 with and gripping the card; then first cylinder 76 retracts and second cylinder 77 retracts. Next, horizontal traverse module 71 moves the entire assembly laterally above the target slot in material box 51. Upon arrival, first cylinder 76 descends, the suction cup breaks the vacuum, releasing the card, which falls into material box 51. Finally, first cylinder 76 retracts, and traverse module 71 moves the assembly back to the gripping position, awaiting the next cycle. Notably, since one of the two slots in material box 51 on the line is not on the same straight line as the card dispensing conveyor line 4, a second cylinder 77 is installed on one side of first cylinder 76 to achieve a variable-pitch function, meeting production requirements. By extending and retracting second cylinder 77, the horizontal position of the suction cup can be adjusted to compensate for any alignment deviations between the slot in material box 51 and the gripping position of card dispensing conveyor line 4, achieving precise placement.

[0030] The above description is an explanation of the present utility model and not a limitation thereof. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the claims. Within the protection scope of the present utility model, any form of modification may be made.
