Specifically, each of the first driving wheel assembly 501 and the second driving wheel assembly 503 includes a driving wheel axle and two driving wheels fixedly connected to the driving wheel axle; the first driven wheel assembly 502 and the second driven wheel assembly 504 each include a driven wheel axle and two driven wheels rotatably coupled to the driven wheel axle. The capstan axle of the first capstan assembly 501 and the capstan axle of the second capstan assembly 503 are rotated synchronously by a drive motor 6, preferably a stepper motor. Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a driving wheel shaft of the first driving wheel assembly 501 and one end of a driving wheel shaft of the second driving wheel assembly 503 are both fixedly provided with a synchronous pulley 601 for receiving power, the two synchronous pulleys 601 are in transmission connection with a driving motor 6 through a synchronous belt, and the two synchronous pulleys 601 and the driving motor 6 are both arranged on the outer side of the supporting plate 1 on one side. The axles of the two groups of driven wheel assemblies respectively penetrate through the U-shaped grooves 104 (vertical bar holes) on the two side supporting plates 1, a torsion spring is respectively and independently connected between the axle of each group of driven wheel assemblies and the inner sides of the two side supporting plates 1, one end of each torsion spring is sleeved on the axle of each driven wheel assembly, and the other end of each torsion spring is inserted into a clamping groove or a jack on the side supporting plate 1. The structure and specific installation position of the torsion spring can be seen from fig. 1 and 4, wherein a torsion spring a 401 is connected between one end of the driven wheel axle of the first driven wheel assembly 502 and the support plate 1 on one side, and similarly, a torsion spring a 401 is also connected between the other end of the driven wheel axle of the first driven wheel assembly 502 and the support plate 1 on the other side; a torsion spring B402 is connected between one end of the driven wheel shaft of the second driven wheel assembly 504 and the one side support plate 1, and similarly, a torsion spring B402 is connected between the other end of the driven wheel shaft of the second driven wheel assembly 504 and the other side support plate 1. The driven wheel assembly floats upwards along the U-shaped groove 104 (or a vertical strip hole) under the pushing of the IC card so as to adjust the passing clearance of the IC card, and is elastically pressed above the driving wheel assembly under the action of the torsion spring.

The IC card reading module 2 is arranged on the channel, and the card reading area of the IC card reading module 2 faces to the horizontal plane where the card inlet channel and the card outlet channel are located.

Referring to fig. 1 and 3, the included angle between the connection positions of the side support plates 1 on the two sides and the bottom support plate is a right angle. Card guide rails 103 for positioning the movement of the IC card are arranged on the side supporting plates 1 on the two sides so as to prevent the IC card from shifting in the moving process. Both side edges of the IC card reading module 2 are placed on the upper side of the card guide 103.

In a preferred embodiment, the financial IC card transport mechanism further comprises a detection component, preferably an optical coupler, mounted on the side support plate 1 of the support. In particular, the number of optocouplers may be provided as a plurality, for example two, being the first optocoupler 101 and the second optocoupler 102, respectively. The first optocoupler 101 is fixedly arranged at the card inlet and used for detecting the entering of an IC card; the second optocoupler 102 is fixedly arranged at the card outlet and used for detecting the outgoing of the IC card. The distance between the first optical coupler 101 and the second optical coupler 102 is larger than the length of the IC card.

The specific working principle of the financial IC card transport transfer mechanism in this embodiment is as follows:

initially, the first driven wheel assembly 502 of the conveyance transmission mechanism of the present embodiment is urged toward the first driving wheel assembly 501 by the two torsion springs a 401 thereof, and the second driven wheel assembly 504 is urged toward the second driving wheel assembly 503 by the two torsion springs B402 thereof. The two timing pulleys 601 have no receivable power, and the whole mechanism is in a state of waiting for an action to be performed.

When the first optocoupler 101 at the card entrance detects that an IC card enters, the driving motor 6 is started to transmit power to the synchronous pulley 601, the driving wheels of the first driving wheel assembly 501 and the second driving wheel assembly 503 rotate together in the clockwise direction and at the same linear velocity under the driving of the synchronous pulley 601, while the driven wheels of the first driven wheel assembly 502 and the second driven wheel assembly 504 do not rotate, and the whole mechanism is in a state of waiting for card entering.

Then, the front end of the IC card passes through the first optical coupler 101 at the card inlet and enters a friction transfer area between the driving wheel of the first driving wheel assembly 501 and the driven wheel of the first driven wheel assembly 502, and the IC card is sandwiched between the driving wheel and the driven wheel. The driven wheel of the first driven wheel assembly 502 floats upward along the U-shaped groove 104 (or vertical bar-shaped hole) of the side support plate 1 by the pushing of the IC card, so that the gap between the first driven wheel assembly 502 and the first driving wheel assembly 501 is adjusted, and it is possible to adapt to IC cards of different thicknesses. After the IC card enters, the driving wheel of the first driving wheel assembly 502 rotates to drive the IC card to move toward the card outlet, and meanwhile, the driven wheel of the first driven wheel assembly 502 rotates counterclockwise around the driven wheel axle as the rotation center. Under the action of the elastic restoring force of the two torsion springs a 401, the driven wheel axle of the first driven wheel assembly 502 has a downward returning trend along the U-shaped groove 104 (or the vertical bar-shaped hole), so as to ensure that the driven wheel of the first driven wheel assembly 502 can press the IC card against the driving wheel of the first driving wheel assembly 501 during the IC card transmission process, and the pressing force and the rotation motion of the first driving wheel assembly 501 generate enough friction force to drive the IC card to move forward continuously at the same linear velocity.

When the IC card reaches a position right below the IC card reading module 2 (see the position of the IC card 3 in fig. 4), the driving motor 6 stops operating, and the IC card reading module 2 reads and writes data from and into the IC card 3 located right below the driving motor. After the IC card information is written in, the driving motor 6 is started again, and the IC card continues to move towards the card outlet.

When the IC card enters the friction transfer area between the driving wheel of the second driving wheel assembly 503 and the driven wheel of the second driven wheel assembly 504, the IC card is sandwiched between the driving wheel and the driven wheel. Since the first driving wheel assembly 501 and the second driving wheel assembly 503 have the same linear velocity, no slip occurs when the IC card enters the second driving wheel assembly 503. Likewise, the driven wheel of the second driven wheel assembly 504 floats upward along the U-shaped groove 104 (or vertical bar-shaped hole) on the side support plate 1 under the urging of the IC card, thereby adjusting the gap between the second driven wheel assembly 504 and the second driving wheel assembly 503. With the rotation of the driving wheel of the second driving wheel assembly 503, the IC card is driven to move toward the card outlet, and simultaneously, the driven wheel of the second driven wheel assembly 504 rotates counterclockwise around the driven wheel axle thereof as the rotation center. Under the action of the elastic restoring force of the two torsion springs B402, the driven wheel axle of the second driven wheel assembly 504 tends to return downwards along the U-shaped slot 104 (or the vertical bar-shaped hole), so as to ensure that the driven wheel of the second driven wheel assembly 504 can press the IC card on the driving wheel of the second driving wheel assembly 503 during the IC card transmission process, and the pressing force and the rotation motion of the second driving wheel assembly 503 can generate enough friction force to drive the IC card to move forwards continuously at the same linear velocity. When the rear end of the IC card leaves the friction transmission area between the driving wheel of the first driving wheel assembly 501 and the driven wheel of the first driven wheel assembly 502, the driven wheel axle of the first driven wheel assembly 502 and the two torsion springs a 401 connected thereto are reset.

Finally, the IC card is conveyed to leave the whole conveying transmission mechanism, after the second optocoupler 102 detects that the IC card leaves, the driving motor 6 stops working, the two synchronous pulleys 601 lose power, the writing and conveying processes of the IC card are completed, and the conveying transmission mechanism of the financial IC card is recovered to the initial state.

In another aspect, the present application also provides a card sender including the above financial IC card transport delivery mechanism.

To sum up, the financial IC card that this application provided transports transfer mechanism, its shaft assembly from the driving wheel subassembly is in the U-shaped groove (or vertical bar shape hole) on the side backup pad of support, so the shaft of every group driving wheel subassembly can reciprocate for the clearance between driven wheel subassembly and the driving wheel subassembly can be according to the thickness of IC card and do the adaptability adjustment, and under the effect of the torsional spring at the shaft both ends from the driving wheel subassembly, realize the transmission function of transporting to the IC card of different thickness. The application rely on the action of gravity and the spring action pressure of torsional spring to hold in the top of action wheel subassembly from the driving wheel subassembly, and when the IC-card passed through between action wheel subassembly and the driven wheel subassembly, the driving wheel subassembly provided the power of carrying for the transport of IC-card, and the driven wheel subassembly can rotate along with the removal of IC-card. On one hand, when an IC card passes between the driving wheel assembly and the driven wheel assembly so that the wheel shaft of the driven wheel assembly floats upwards, the elastic force of the torsion spring can provide restoring force for the return of the wheel shaft of the driven wheel assembly; on the other hand, the elastic force of the torsion spring can enable the wheel shaft of the driven wheel component to have the trend of resetting downwards, so that the driven wheel component can press the IC card on the corresponding driving wheel component in the IC card transmission process, and the IC card transmission is stable. In addition, the conveying and transferring mechanism further realizes the information reading and writing functions of the financial IC card through the IC card reading module. The structure of this application can compatible different thickness's finance IC-card, and the thickness is adjusted the flexible operation, can not cause the dead phenomenon of card, and simple structure has reduced the manufacturing cost of equipment, can wide application in digital currency technical field.
