The two electromagnets 53 and 55 are electrically connected to the control unit, and the matching relationship between the pull rod 52 and the moving member 45 in the initial position is shown in fig. 10. When the control unit judges that the installation is wrong for the first time, the two electromagnets 53 and 55 are controlled to repel each other, so that the second electromagnet 55 drives the pull rod 52 and the moving component 45 to move forward from the initial positions, as shown in fig. 12A, and the engagement relationship of the gears is shown in fig. 11; the control unit then de-energizes the electromagnets 53, 55 and the second electromagnet 55 is reset by the second spring 56, as shown in fig. 12B, when the pull rod 52 is reset, but the moving member 45 is not reset. After the smart card 6 rotates once, the moving part 45 is reset, if the control unit determines that the installation is wrong for the second time, the control unit controls the two electromagnets 53 and 55 to attract each other, so that the second electromagnet 55 drives the pull rod 52 and the moving part 45 to move backward from the initial position, as shown in fig. 14A, and at this time, the engagement relationship of the gears is shown in fig. 13; the control unit then de-energizes the electromagnets 53, 55 and the second electromagnet 55 is reset by the first spring 54, as shown in fig. 14B, when the pull rod 52 is reset, but the moving member 45 is not reset. After the smart card 6 rotates for the second time, the moving part 45 resets, if the control unit judges that the installation is wrong for the third time, the control unit controls the two electromagnets 53 and 55 to repel each other, so that the second electromagnet 55 drives the pull rod 52 and the moving part 45 to move forward from the initial position, then the control unit disconnects the electromagnets 53 and 55, the second electromagnet 55 resets under the action of the second spring 56, and the working program refers to the control unit to judge that the installation is wrong for the first time.
