Of course, the left front block 22 and the right front block 26 can be combined into a front block, and similarly, the left rear block 32 and the right rear block 27 can also be combined into a rear block, that is, the cassette slot is surrounded by the bayonet plate 21, the front block and the rear block.

Wherein, bayonet plate 21, backing plate 24 are fixed on core mainboard 33, and this bayonet plate 21 is used for connecting out card mechanism 4, offer on this bayonet plate 21 with go out the card mouth that card way intercommunication of card mechanism 4, when card storage box 1 was installed in this card case inslot, the play card direction that goes out card groove 13 was just to this play bayonet socket for card in the card storage box 1 is pushing away card chunk 28 and is promoting down followed in the card storage box 1 through this play card mouth propelling movement to going out the card way.

The surface of the conveying belt 25 is a smooth structure and is lower than the lower surface of the lowermost card when the conveying belt is static and rotating, namely, the card cannot be driven to move by the surface of the conveying belt 25. Wherein the conveyor belt 25 is rotated by the driving mechanism. Optionally, the drive mechanism comprises: a first motor 37, a driving pulley 30, a transition pulley 29, a driven pulley 35, a tension pulley 31 and a first transmission belt 34. The first motor 37 drives the conveyor belt 25 through the driving wheel 30, the transition wheel 29, the driven wheel 35 and the first transmission belt 34. The first transmission belt 34 is sleeved on the driving wheel 30, the transition wheel 29 and the driven wheel 35. The tightness of the first transmission belt 34 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the tension pulley 31, further, the driving pulley 30, the transition pulley 29 and the driven pulley 35 correspond to three support points, the first transmission belt 34 is sleeved on the three support points, and the tightness of the first transmission belt 34 can be adjusted by adjusting the tension pulley 31 to press the first transmission belt 34 between the driving pulley 30 and the transition pulley 29.

The number of the card pushing blocks 28 arranged on the conveying belt 25 may be one or two, and when the number of the card pushing blocks 28 on the conveying belt 25 is one, the conveying belt 25 rotates one circle to complete one card pushing. When two card pushing blocks 28 are arranged on the conveyer belt 25, the distance between the two card pushing blocks 28 is half of the length of the conveyer belt 25, so that one card pushing block 28 is always positioned in the card box groove at any time, and the conveyer belt 25 rotates half a turn to complete one card pushing. One of the pushing fixture blocks 28 may only include one pushing fixture block, or may include more than two pushing fixture blocks, where when a plurality of pushing fixture blocks are included, the distance between the pushing fixture blocks at the head and the tail is smaller than the length of one card, for example, if there are five pushing fixture blocks, the first pushing fixture block is located at the head, the fifth pushing fixture block is located at the tail, and the distance between the leftmost edge of the first pushing fixture block and the rightmost edge of the fifth pushing fixture block is smaller than the length of one card.

The card outlet mechanism 4 is provided with a first detection device 23 near the card outlet channel, the first detection device 23 is arranged right below the opening 16 of the card storage box 1, and whether the opening 16 is blocked by an object is detected, so that whether a card exists in the card storage box 1 is judged. A second detecting device 36 for detecting whether the card pushing block 28 is located at the initial position is provided at the rear of the card feed mechanism 2, thereby facilitating control of the stop position and the pushing distance of the card pushing block 28. The first detection device 23 and the second detection device 36 may be photosensors or infrared modules.

As shown in fig. 5, the card discharging mechanism 4 has the card discharging channel, and the card discharging mechanism 4 is located at the card discharging side of the card feeding mechanism 2 and is configured to feed the card roll entering the card discharging channel to an external card discharging opening. Further, the card discharge mechanism 4 has a roll-feed mechanism including: a second motor 41, a second drive belt 47, and three pairs of rollers (a first pair of rollers 42, a second pair of rollers 46, and a third pair of rollers 44, respectively). The second motor 41 drives the three pairs of rollers to rotate through the second transmission belt 47, and pushes the CPC cards entering the first pair of rollers 42 to the external card outlet port through the second pair of rollers 46 and the third pair of rollers 44 in sequence. The third detecting device 48, the fourth detecting device 45 and the fifth detecting device 43 are used for detecting the card position in the card discharging process. The CPC card is rolled outward by the first pair of rollers 42, and when the third detection device 48 detects that there is a card, the card feeding is considered to be successful, and the card feeding mechanism 2 only needs to stop the card pushing block 28 at the set position normally; if the card-pushing block 28 has reached the set stop position but the third detecting means 48 has not detected the presence of a card, the card feeding is considered to have failed. Because the distance between the first pair of rollers 42 and the second pair of rollers 46 and the distance between the second pair of rollers 44 and the third pair of rollers are both smaller than the length of the CPC card, after the card is successfully fed, the CPC card continues to roll towards the direction of the outward bayonet outlet through the third detection device 48, and after the CPC card leaves the first pair of rollers 42, the CPC card continues to roll towards the outward direction through the second pair of rollers 46; after the fourth detection device 45 detects the CPC card, the second motor 41 is stopped with a delay so that the CPC card stays at a position between the second pair of rollers 46 and the third pair of rollers 44, and waits for an operation such as reading and writing the card. After the card reading and writing operation is completed, the second motor 41 rotates, the second pair of rollers 46 and the third pair of rollers 44 continue to drive the CPC card to roll towards the card outlet, and after the fifth detection device 43 detects the CPC card, the second motor 41 is stopped in a delayed manner, so that the CPC card stays at the card outlet and waits for a driver to take the card. When the driver removes the card, the fifth detection device 43 returns a signal to inform the control system that the card has been removed, thereby completing the entire card-dispensing process. The third detecting device 48, the fourth detecting device 45 and the fifth detecting device 43 may be photosensors or infrared modules.

For the sake of easy understanding of the control flow of the card sending process, the control flow of the card sending process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in fig. 6. Wherein the position in fig. 6 is described in the view of fig. 3. Wherein, several positions of the card-pushing block 28 are defined as: the initial position is the position where the card pushing block 28 is located outside the right side of the card storage box 1, abuts against the card storage box 1, and immediately pushes the CPC card along with the rotation of the conveyor belt 25; position 1 means that the card-pushing block 28 is located below the rightmost row of card-storing positions in the card hopper 1 and is located at a position which is deviated from the center of the row of card-storing positions by 1/4 card lengths; position 2 is the card-pushing block 28 is located below the second row of card positions from right to left of the card hopper 1, at a position which is offset from the center of the row by 1/4 card lengths; position n is the position of the ejector shoe 28 below the leftmost column of hopper positions in the hopper 1, offset from the center of the column by 1/4 card lengths. The core goal is to ensure that the card pushing block 28 stays at the "initial position" or the "position x" after pushing one card each time, wherein x is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to n-1, and n is greater than or equal to 2. After receiving the card standby instruction, the card sender 100 determines whether the card can be currently prepared, if so, determines whether the card exists at the first detection device 23, if so, determines whether the card pushing block 28 is located at the initial position, if so, sets the rotation distance of the card pushing block 28 to be 4/3 card lengths, if not, sets the rotation distance of the card pushing block 28 to be "position x", and if so, sets the rotation distance of the card pushing block 28 to be card lengths, and when the card pushing block 28 is located at the position n, that is, the card pushing block 28 is located below the leftmost column of card storage positions of the card storage box 1, and is located at a position 1/4 card lengths away from the center left side of the column of card storage positions, rotates the conveyer belt 25 to return the card pushing block 28 to the initial position.

For convenience of understanding, the case of the card hopper 1 having 3 rows of card hopper 12 is taken as an example for explanation, and assuming that the card pushing block 28 is located at the initial position just before, the rotating distance of the card pushing block 28 is set to 4/3 calories of length when the first card pushing is performed, and at this time, the card pushing block 28 is located at position 1, i.e. below the rightmost row of card hopper 1, and is located at a position 1/4 calories of length away from the center left side of the row of card hopper; during the second card pushing, the card pushing block 28 is set to have a card length, at this time, the card pushing block 28 is located at position 2, i.e., below the second row of card storage positions from right to left of the card storage box 1, and at a position deviated from the left side 1/4 card length of the center of the row of card storage positions, at the third card pushing, the card pushing block 28 is set to have a card length, at this time, the card pushing block 28 is located at position 3, i.e., below the third row of card storage positions from right to left of the card storage box 1, and at a position deviated from the left side 1/4 card length of the center of the row of card storage positions, at this time, since the card pushing block 28 is located below the last row of card storage positions and at a position deviated from the left side 1/4 card length of the center of the row of card storage positions, the conveyer belt 25 is automatically rotated to return the card pushing block 28 to the initial position. The three card pushing processes are one card pushing cycle, and the processes are repeated in the next card pushing cycle, it should be noted that, in this case, 3 rows of cards are taken as an example for description, when the card storage box 1 has 5 rows of cards, the card pushing cycle includes 5 card pushing processes, and the rest is similar to the above.

The significance of this design is twofold: (1) the card pushing device ensures that the moving distance of all the cards pushed by the card pushing block 28 is not too large (the length of one card is not more than) when the cards are pushed each time, and effectively reduces the jamming caused by collision and friction of the CPC cards; (2) the position where the conveyer belt 25 stays each time can ensure that no jam occurs when the CPC card above falls down after the card pushing block 28 is pushed forward when the card is pushed next time.

It should be noted that, in the present specification, the embodiments are all described in a progressive manner, each embodiment focuses on differences from other embodiments, and the same and similar parts among the embodiments may be referred to each other.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and variations can be made in the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement and the like made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
