[0051] It should be noted that the card 900 includes, but is not limited to, a highway composite pass card (CPC card), a membership card or an access control card.

[0052] The conveying mechanism is arranged on the rack 100, and includes a conveyor belt 210, which is used at least for conveying the card 900 to the card box 101. The posture adjusting mechanism 300 is arranged on the rack 100 and located upstream of the card box 101; wherein the posture adjusting mechanism 300 includes a positioning member 310 and a movable member 320 respectively located on both sides of the width direction of the conveyor belt 210, when the conveyor belt 210 drives the card 900 to move towards the card box 101, the positioning member 310 is used to contact the card 900 to form a rotation fulcrum, and the movable member 320 reciprocates along the length direction of the conveyor belt 210, which is used to contact and drive the card 900 to rotate around the rotation fulcrum, so as to adjust the card 900 from an abnormal posture to a normal posture.

[0053] It can be understood that when the card 900 moves to the direction of the card box 101 through the conveying belt 210, when the card 900 passes through the posture adjusting mechanism 300 in an abnormal posture, on the one hand, the card 900 will be in contact with the positioning member 310, and on the other hand, the side wall of the card 900 will be in constant contact with the movable member 320 which reciprocates along the length direction of the conveying belt 210, and in addition, the conveying belt 210 drives the card 900 to move to the direction of the card box 101, so that the card 900 can rotate around the contact point between the card 900 and the positioning member 310 as the rotation fulcrum, until the length direction of the card 900 is parallel to the length direction of the conveying belt 210, so that the card 900 can be automatically adjusted to a normal posture in the conveying process, which saves time and effort, thereby improving the automation of the card 900 recycling and arrangement, reducing the labor cost and improving the work efficiency and work quality.

[0054] According to the card recycling device provided by the embodiment of the application, the posture adjusting mechanism 300 is arranged upstream of the card box 101, so that the card 900 can rotate around the contact point between the card 900 and the positioning member 310 as the rotation fulcrum in the conveying process, until the length direction of the card 900 is parallel to the length direction of the conveying belt 210, so that the card 900 can be automatically adjusted to a normal posture in the conveying process, which saves time and effort, thereby improving the automation of the card 900 recycling and arrangement, reducing the labor cost and improving the work efficiency and work quality.

[0055] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the positioning member 310 includes a positioning plate 311 and a plurality of one-way protrusions 312, the positioning plate 311 is installed on the rack 100, and the plurality of one-way protrusions 312 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the conveying belt 210, and the one-way protrusions 312 are arranged on the side of the positioning plate 311 close to the movable member 320. It should be noted that the number and specific distribution of the one-way protrusions 312 can be designed according to actual needs, and the embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.

[0056] It can be understood that the positioning member 310 is installed on the rack 100 to support and position the card 900. The plurality of one-way protrusions 312 are arranged at intervals on the side close to the movable member 320, so that the side of the positioning member 310 close to the movable member 320 is zigzag-shaped, thereby providing contact points for cards 900 in various abnormal postures, to ensure that each card 900 in an abnormal posture can keep stable while using different one-way protrusions 312 as rotation fulcrums in the conveying process, and thus the movable member 320 can more effectively adjust the posture of the card 900.

[0057] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, the rack 100 is provided with a mounting slot along the width direction of the conveying belt 210 at the upper part of the conveying belt 210, and the positioning plate 311 is arranged in the mounting slot, and the one-way protrusion 312 protrudes from the side of the rack 100 near the mounting slot to the side near the movable piece 320, so that the structure of the entire card recycling device is more compact, and narrow islandization is realized as much as possible.

[0058] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 3-5, the side of the one-way protrusion 312 near the movable piece 320 is provided with an inclined surface, and the inclined surface is inclined in the direction near the movable piece 320 along the direction near the card box 101. It should be noted that the inclination angle and size of the inclined surface can be designed according to actual needs, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations thereto.

[0059] It can be understood that the inclined surface is inclined in the direction near the movable piece 320 along the direction near the card box 101, which helps to guide the card 900 to move smoothly and be positioned in a normal posture, reduces the possibility of deviation and overturning of the card 900, and more effectively adjusts the posture of the card 900 while reducing the possibility of damage to the card 900 when in contact with the card 900.

[0060] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 3-5, the positioning piece 310 further comprises a first elastic piece, and the two ends of the first elastic piece are respectively connected with the rack 100 and the positioning plate 311. The first elastic piece includes but is not limited to a spring.

[0061] It can be understood that by arranging the first elastic piece between the rack 100 and the positioning plate 311, the force exerted by the positioning piece 310 on the card 900 can be adjusted, so as to ensure that the force exerted on the card 900 can absorb the impact force that the card 900 may generate during conveying, reduce the resistance that the movable piece 320 generates when driving the card 900 to rotate, and reduce the possibility of damage to the edge of the card 900, and improve the adaptability to cards 900 of different sizes.

[0062] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 3-8, the movable piece 320 comprises a mounting portion 321 and a push plate 322, the mounting portion 321 is movably arranged in the rack 100, and the push plate 322 is arranged on the mounting portion 321, and the side of the push plate 322 near the positioning piece 310 is provided with a guide surface, and the guide surface is inclined in the direction near the positioning piece 310 along the direction near the card box 101. It should be noted that the inclination angle and size of the guide surface can be designed according to actual needs, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations thereto.

[0063] It can be understood that the mounting portion 321 is reciprocally arranged along the length direction of the conveying belt 210 on the rack 100, and is inclinedly arranged by the guide surface, so as to help guide the card 900 to rotate and provide stable support for the card 900 at the same time, and reduce the resistance of the card 900 in the conveying process.

[0064] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the movable part 320 further comprises a connecting portion 323 and a second elastic member 324, the connecting portion 323 is rotatably arranged on the mounting portion 321, and the rotation axis of the connecting portion 323 is parallel to the up-down direction, and the push plate 322 is arranged on the connecting portion 323; the second elastic member 324 is connected with the mounting portion 321 and the connecting portion 323 respectively. The second elastic member 324 includes but is not limited to a torsion spring.

[0065] It should be noted that the thickness direction of the conveying belt 210 is the up-down direction, that is, the conveying belt 210 is perpendicular to the up-down direction.

[0066] It can be understood that one side of the connecting portion 323 is rotatably arranged on the mounting portion 321 along the up-down axis, and the other side of the connecting portion 323 is provided with the push plate 322, so that the guide surface of the push plate 322 is inclinedly arranged, and the second elastic member 324 is connected with the mounting portion 321 and the connecting portion 323 respectively, so as to reset the push plate 322, so that it can more flexibly interact with the card 900 to adapt to the card 900 in different abnormal postures. In addition, the first elastic member connected between the positioning plate 311 and the rack 100, so that the card 900 can produce elastic deformation or displacement through the stress points on both sides of the width direction of the conveying belt 210 in the rotating process, so that the card 900 will not be stuck between the positioning part 310 and the movable part 320 in the posture adjustment process, and the efficiency of the posture adjustment of the card 900 in the conveying process is improved.

[0067] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, the posture adjustment mechanism 300 further comprises a second driving member 330, the fixed end of the second driving member 330 is arranged on the rack 100, and the driving end of the second driving member 330 is provided with the mounting portion 321, for driving the mounting portion 321 to reciprocally move along the length direction of the conveying belt 210. The second driving member 330 includes but is not limited to a linear motor or a ball screw.

[0068] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the accommodating cavity has a card placing opening facing the posture adjusting mechanism 300 and a card avoiding opening facing downward, and the card recycling device further comprises a card pushing mechanism 400 and a card lifting mechanism 500. The card pushing mechanism 400 is movably arranged on the frame 100 along the length direction of the conveying belt 210 and is adapted to abut against the card 900 to push the card 900 into or out of the accommodating cavity from the card placing opening. The card lifting mechanism 500 is movably arranged on the frame 100 along the up-down direction and is adapted to abut against the card 900 to push the card 900 into or out of the accommodating cavity from the card avoiding opening, so as to form a card entering space of the card 900 in the accommodating cavity.

[0069] It can be understood that, on the one hand, the card pushing mechanism 400 abuts against the card 900 in the normal posture on the conveying belt 210 and away from the side of the card box 101, so as to drive the card 900 to be close to the card box 101 and push the card 900 into the accommodating cavity through the card placing opening; on the other hand, the card lifting mechanism 500 partially extends into the accommodating cavity through the card avoiding opening and drives all the cards 900 stacked in the accommodating cavity to move upward to form the card entering space, so as to avoid the card 900 entering the accommodating cavity through the card pushing mechanism 400. When the card 900 is completely placed in the accommodating cavity through the card entering space, the card pushing mechanism 400 exits the accommodating cavity, so that all the cards 900 stacked in the accommodating cavity are located on the card 900, thereby realizing the orderly storage of the cards 900 in the accommodating cavity.

[0070] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 10, the card pushing mechanism 400 comprises a housing 410, a card pushing block 420 and a first eccentric member 430. The housing 410 is movably arranged on the frame 100 along the length direction of the conveying belt 210. The card pushing block 420 is movably arranged on the housing 410 along the up-down direction. The first eccentric member 430 is rotatably arranged on the housing 410, and the rotation axis of the first eccentric member 430 is parallel to the width direction of the conveying belt 210, and is adapted to drive the card pushing block 420 to abut against the top surface of the card 900. The first eccentric member 430 comprises, but is not limited to, a cam or an eccentric wheel and the like.

[0071] It can be understood that, after the card 900 passes through the posture adjusting mechanism 300 and is in the normal posture, the card 900 continues to move on the conveying belt 210 in the direction close to the card box 101. The card pushing block 420 is driven by the housing 410 to be close to the card 900, and at the same time, the first eccentric member 430 rotates until the card pushing block 420 abuts against the side of the card 900 away from the card box 101 along the width direction of the card 900. Then, the card pushing block 420 and the conveying belt 210 move in the direction close to the card box 101, so that the card 900 can be accurately pushed into the accommodating cavity.

[0072] In addition, compared with the pusher often arranged below the card 900 in the related art, the pusher block 420 is arranged above the card 900, so that the pusher mechanism 400 can overlap with the projection part of the posture adjusting mechanism 300, the structure of the entire card recycling device is more compact, and the demand for narrow island is met.

[0073] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the pusher mechanism 400 further includes a first driving member 440 and a third elastic member 450. The fixed end of the first driving member 440 is arranged on the shell 410, the driving end of the first driving member 440 is provided with a first eccentric member 430, and the first eccentric member 430 is used to drive the top surface of the pusher block 420 to abut; and the third elastic member 450 is connected with the pusher block 420 and the shell 410 respectively. The first driving member 440 includes but is not limited to a belt transmission mechanism, a chain transmission mechanism or a gear transmission mechanism. The third elastic member 450 includes but is not limited to a torsion spring.

[0074] It can be understood that the first driving member 440 drives the first eccentric member 430 to rotate forward to drive the pusher block 420 to move downward until the pusher block 420 abuts against the surface of the card 900, and at the same time, the third elastic member 450 is deformed; after the card 900 is pushed into the accommodating cavity, the first driving member 440 drives the first eccentric member 430 to rotate reversely, and at the same time, the third elastic member 450 drives the pusher block 420 to move upward to move away from the conveying belt 210 under the action of the elastic force of the third elastic member 450.

[0075] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the card recycling device further includes a card blocking member 600, which is movably arranged on the rack 100 and is used to control the rhythm of the contact between the card 900 and the pusher mechanism 400.

[0076] It can be understood that when the pusher mechanism 400 pushes the card 900 into the accommodating cavity, the card blocking member 600 moves forward to block the remaining cards 900 on the conveying belt 210; when the pusher mechanism 400 completes the card pushing process, that is, the pusher block 420 is not in contact with the card 900, the card blocking member 600 moves reversely to move away from the conveying belt 210, so that the pusher block 420 can abut against the next card 900 in normal posture. It should be noted that the card blocking member 600 includes but is not limited to an electromagnet.

[0077] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 9, the jacking mechanism 500 includes a third driving member 510, a second eccentric member 520, and a jacking block 530. The fixed end of the third driving member 510 is arranged on the rack 100, the driving end of the third driving member 510 is arranged with the second eccentric member 520, the jacking block 530 is movably arranged on the rack 100 in the up-down direction, and the bottom surface of the jacking block 530 can abut against the second eccentric member 520. The third driving member 510 includes, but is not limited to, a speed reducer motor. The second eccentric member 520 includes, but is not limited to, a cam or an eccentric wheel, etc.

[0078] It can be understood that, before the pushing mechanism 400 pushes the card 900 into the containing cavity, the third driving member 510 drives the second eccentric member 520 to move forward, so that the jacking block 530 moves upward and extends into the containing cavity through the avoiding opening, and then drives all the cards 900 stacked in the containing cavity to move upward together; after the pushing mechanism 400 completes the pushing process, the third driving member 510 drives the second eccentric member 520 to move reversely, so that the jacking block 530 moves downward, so that all the cards 900 stacked in the containing cavity move downward together to the card 900 just pushed into the containing cavity.

[0079] It should be noted that, when the card box 101 needs to be replaced, the third driving member 510 drives the second eccentric member 520 to continue to move reversely, so that the jacking block 530 continues to move downward and exits the containing cavity.

[0080] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1-3, the card recycling device further includes an enclosure 700 and a recycling box 810. The enclosure 700 is arranged on the rack 100 and located upstream of the posture adjusting mechanism 300. The enclosure 700 has an in-card opening and an out-card opening, and the out-card opening faces the conveying belt 210. The recycling box 810 is arranged on the rack 100, and the recycling box 810 and the posture adjusting mechanism 300 are respectively located on the two sides of the enclosure 700. The recycling box 810 has an in-card opening.

[0081] It can be understood that the enclosure 700 is located above the conveying belt 210, and the card inlet is upward and the card outlet is downward, so that the card 900 can be dropped into the enclosure 700 from the card inlet and dropped on the conveying belt 210 through the card outlet. Since the recycling box 810 and the posture adjusting mechanism 300 are respectively located on both sides of the enclosure 700, that is, when the card 900 is identified to have a problem (such as the power being lower than a preset threshold or communication being poor, etc.), the conveying belt 210 moves reversely to drive the card 900 to move away from the card box 101 until the card 900 moves to the end of the conveying belt 210 away from the card box 101 and then drops into the recycling box 810 through the card inlet, so as to realize that the recycling box 810 automatically collects the card 900 with a problem; when the card 900 is not identified to have a problem, the conveying belt 210 moves forwardly to drive the card 900 to move towards the card box 101, and cooperates with the posture adjusting mechanism 300 to make the card 900 in a normal posture and then conveyed into the card box 101, so as to improve the automation and orderliness of the whole card 900 recycling process and improve the recycling efficiency by separately recycling the identified cards 900.
