The invention can be installed in an integrated self-service unmanned aerial vehicle, and cards can be respectively inserted from two inlets and outlets, and the working process of two card inserting modes is explained by combining the attached drawings.

Entering the card from the first entrance: when a card is sent to the first inlet/outlet 2 of the thermal sublimation card machine of the invention from the card sending mechanism inside the integrated self-service unmanned aerial vehicle, the card C enters from the horn-shaped opening 21 in the conventional card inserting direction, the edge of the front end of the card is detected by the turning sensor a (sa), and the controller commands the turning part of the card turning part 3 to drive the rubber roller 31 to roll for preparing to bring the card into the machine (as shown in fig. 8a, the card enters the turning part from the first inlet/outlet and is ready to stand by at the first turning position). After the card enters the card turning part 3, the controller makes the card stay in the card turning part turntable 33 by the turning sensor a (sa) and the turning sensor b (sb), and cleans the first card surface of the card C by the turning part passive cleaning roller 32 and the dust collection rubber roller 35 with cleaning effect (as the schematic diagram of the first card surface of the card C cleaned by the turning part shown in fig. 8 b), and then the controller continuously transmits the card to the magnetic stripe information recording part 8, the contact type chip information recording part 9, and the wireless rf chip information recording part 10 for electronic information recording (as the schematic diagram of the first card surface preparation position of the card in the electronic information recording part and the printing part shown in fig. 8C) along the printing plane (15) according to the requirement of the processing task. Situation one: if the electronic information record fails, the controller forwards the card C directly along the printing plane 15 to the second inlet/outlet 11 according to the requirement of the processing task (as shown in fig. 8g, the card C completing the electronic information processing and printing has a second inlet/outlet card-discharging schematic diagram), or the controller forwards the card C to the card-turning part 3 according to the requirement of the processing task and then discharges the card C from the first inlet/outlet 2, or turns the card C90 degrees to the third turning position and discharges the card C from the failed card outlet 12 (as shown in fig. 8h, the card-turning part turns the card to the third turning position and discharges the card through the failed card outlet). The second scenario is: if the card C with the electronic information record is successfully completed, the printing part 7 completes the first card surface printing task of the card C, and the controller processes the task requirement according to the requirement, and if only the first card surface printing is needed, the card C is selected to be an inlet and an outlet to be discharged in the way of the situation one; if the second card surface is still required to be printed, the card turning part turntable 33 is prepared to turn to the second turning position, the turning part passive cleaning roller 32 at the second turning position is located below the printing plane 15, when the first card surface printing task above the card C is completed, the card C is fed into the card turning part 3, and simultaneously the second card surface below the card C is cleaned by the turning part passive cleaning roller 32 (as shown in fig. 8d, the first card surface of the card is printed and then fed into the card turning part to clean the second card surface), the card turning part turntable 33 turns 180 degrees again to return to the first turning position, then the card C is fed into the printing part 7 to complete the printing task of the second card surface, and then an inlet and an outlet of the card C are selected to be discharged in the manner of the above-mentioned situation (as shown in fig. 8e, the card is prepared to be fed into the printing part by turning the second card surface to clean and then turning the card to the first turning position, or the card shown in fig. 8f is located on the second card surface of the card in the printing part to be printed, or the card having the second inlet and outlet for card arrangement after the electronic information processing and printing is completed shown in fig. 8 g).

Entering the card from the second inlet/outlet: when the card is sent to the second inlet/outlet 11 of the thermal sublimation card machine from the card sending mechanism inside the integrated self-service unmanned aerial vehicle, the card C enters from the trumpet-shaped opening 111 in the designated card-inserting direction (as shown in fig. 9a, the card enters the card turning part from the second inlet/outlet to be ready in the first turning position), the front end edge of the card is detected by the chip record sensor e (se), and the controller commands the stepping motor M4 of the card conveying roller part 4 to drive the roller to roll to prepare for bringing the card into the machine. After the card enters the card turning part 3, the controller makes the card center stay at the card turning part turntable 33 by the turning sensor a (sa) and the turning sensor b (sb), and cleans the surface of the first card surface of the card C by the turning part passive cleaning roller 32 and the dust collection rubber wheel 35 with cleaning effect (as the first card surface schematic diagram of the card entering the card turning part cleaning the card shown in fig. 9 b), the controller turns the card turning part turntable 33 to the second turning position according to the requirement to send the card C out from the card turning part 3 to the printing part 7, cleans the surface of the rest of the first card surface of the card C (as the first card surface card turning part cleaning the card shown in fig. 9C turns the card to the second turning position and sends the card to the printing part schematic diagram), and sends the card C into the card turning part 3 by the printing part 7 (as the first card surface card cleaning schematic diagram of the card shown in fig. 9d and sends the card to the second turning position), the card turning part turntable 33 turns to the first turning position to send the card C from the card turning part 3 to the printing part 7 (the card turning part turns the card to the first turning position as shown in fig. 9e to prepare to send the card to the printing part), and then the controller continues to send the card to the magnetic stripe information recording part 8, the contact chip information recording part 9, and the wireless rf chip information recording part 10 for electronic information recording according to the processing task requirement. Situation one: if the electronic information record fails, the controller forwards the card C directly along the printing plane 15 to the second inlet/outlet 11 according to the requirement of the processing task (as shown in fig. 8g, the card C that has completed the electronic information processing and printing has a second inlet/outlet card-discharging schematic diagram), or the controller forwards the card C to the card-turning part 3 according to the requirement of the processing task and then discharges the card C from the first inlet/outlet 2, or turns the card C90 degrees and discharges the card C from the failed card outlet 12 (as shown in fig. 8h, the card-turning part turns the card to the third turning position and discharges the card through the failed card outlet). The second scenario is: if the card C with the electronic information record is successfully completed, the printing part 7 completes the first card surface printing task of the card C, and the controller processes the task requirement according to the requirement, and if only the first card surface printing is needed, the card is selected to be an inlet and an outlet to be discharged in the way of the situation one; if the second card surface is still required to be printed, the card turning part turntable 33 is ready to turn to the second turning position, the turning part passive cleaning roller 32 in the second turning position is located below the printing plane 15, after the first card surface printing task above the card is completed, the card is fed into the card turning part 3, and simultaneously, the second card surface below the card is cleaned by the turning part passive cleaning roller 32 (as shown in fig. 8d, the first card surface of the card is fed into the card turning part to clean the second card surface after the printing is completed), the card turning part turntable 33 turns 180 degrees again, returns to the first turning position, feeds the card into the printing part 7 after the printing task of the second card surface, and selects an inlet and an outlet of the card to discharge in the above situation. (see fig. 8e for a schematic view showing that the second card surface is cleaned and the card is turned to the first turning position to prepare for feeding the card into the printing portion, or fig. 8f for a schematic view showing that the card is located on the second card surface of the printing portion to prepare for printing, or fig. 8g for a schematic view showing that the card for completing the electronic information processing and printing has a second inlet and outlet card arrangement).
