Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for feeding value cards to be produced from different endless card material via a common cutting device to a card slot, which runs between a card reader and a downstream processing unit and is connected via a switch to the feed slots of the endless card materials.
  • the invention has for its object to develop a device of the type described in such a way that with gentle handling of the card material results in a compact and technically simple construction, which also allows movement of the prepaid cards in both directions in the card slot without the risk of card damage or blockages .
  • the solution to this problem by the invention is characterized in that the feed chutes for the continuous card material brought together in front of the cutting device are connected to the card slot via a curve piece and that a driven roller is arranged in the connection area between the curve piece and the card slot, which when the card slot is used for the transport of a value card from the card reader into the downstream processing as a guide roller and when one is supplied Endless card material produced card to the card reader acts as a drive roller.
  • This inventive design of the device results in a clear and forced guidance of the various cards in the switch area, so that the risk of damage to the cards or of a blockage of the card slot is excluded.
  • the driven roller arranged in the connection area of the curve piece on the card slot not only enables the trouble-free transport of value cards in both transport directions within the card slot, but also the targeted supply of value cards into the card slot, these value cards of continuous card material using those common to the different materials Cutting device have been produced.
  • a drive roller which interacts with a spring-loaded counter roller is arranged in each feed shaft and is arranged directly on the shaft of a stepping motor.
  • a driven roller pair in the area of merging the feed chutes a driven roller pair can be arranged.
  • the drive of all pairs of rollers is preferably effected by stepper motors which are controlled by suitable sensors.
  • a sensor system is arranged in front of the cutting device, which consists of a reflex light barrier on one side and a light-sensitive sensor on the other side.
  • a sensor system not only print marks (through the reflex light barrier) but also slits (through the light barrier and the opposite sensor) can be detected, even with transparent card material.
  • the card slot is provided with its own card transport device, which according to the invention consists of a transport belt guided over two rollers and two pressure rollers, which bear under spring force on the transport belt located on the rollers and projecting into the card slot, one of the rollers is driven by a stepper motor.
  • An O-ring is preferably used as the transport belt.
  • the device shown using an exemplary embodiment comprises a lower housing part 1 and an upper housing part 2, between which a card slot 3 is formed, which runs between a card reader (not shown in the drawing) and a downstream processing.
  • a card transport device is arranged in the upper housing part 2, which can best be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • This card transport device comprises a stepping motor 4, on the shaft of which a toothed belt pinion 5 is fastened, which drives a toothed belt pulley 7, which is fastened on a shaft 8, via a toothed belt 6.
  • a drive roller 9 is also attached to this shaft 8, over which a transport belt 10 designed as an O-ring extends.
  • This conveyor belt 10 is guided over a further roller 11 and is tensioned by a tensioning roller 12, as best shown in FIG. 2.
  • the conveyor belt 10 running around the drive roller 9 and the roller 11 protrudes into the card slot 3 as shown in FIG. 2 and in each case interacts with a pressure roller 13 which is loaded by a spring 14 in such a way that it constantly bears against the conveyor belt 10.
  • a value card located in the card slot 3 can be reliably transported in both transport directions with the aid of the stepping motor 4.
  • the upper housing part 2 can be easily removed from the lower housing part 1.
  • three feed shafts 15 are arranged in the exemplary embodiment, each of which serves to guide an endless card material, which as a roll or zigzag stack is trained. Individual value cards are to be cut off from this endless card material of different design with the device shown.
  • a drive roller 17 cooperating with a spring-loaded counter roller 16 is arranged in each feed shaft 15, which in turn is fastened on the shaft of a stepping motor 18, 19, 20.
  • the continuous card material (not shown in the drawing) can be drawn forwards or backwards in the individual feed shafts 15 as desired and in particular fed to a cutting device common to all three feed shafts 15, which is best shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 can be seen.
  • a further pair of rollers 21, 22 is arranged, of which the roller 22 is loaded by a spring 23 and the roller 21 is driven by means of a toothed belt 24, which can best be seen in FIG. 1 is.
  • This toothed belt 24 is driven by a stepper motor 25, on the shaft of which a roller 26 is fastened, which also interacts with a counter roller 27 loaded by the spring 14.
  • This roller 26, which is driven by the stepping motor 25, is located in the connection area between a curve piece 28 and the card slot 3, the curve piece 28 connecting the merged feed shafts 15 to the card slot 3.
  • the roller 26, which is driven in the desired direction of rotation, serves as a guide roller when 3 value cards are transported within the card slot and as a drive roller when value cards cut from the endless card material are fed to the card slot 3 via the curve piece 28.
  • the roller 26, which interacts with the freely rotatable counter roller 27, in this way brings about an unambiguous and compulsory guidance of the various value cards in the switch area between the card slot 3 and the curve piece 28 and prevents the risk of both card damage and blockages in the switch area.
  • the cutting device used in the exemplary embodiment consists of a fixed lower knife 29 and a longitudinally movable upper knife 30 which can be driven by an electric motor 32 via an eccentric 31.
  • the eccentric 31 engages by means of a ball bearing 33 in a transverse elongated hole of the upper knife 30, so that the upper knife 30 is completely reciprocated when the shaft of the electric motor 32 rotates.
  • the longitudinally movable upper knife 30 is stored and guided with the aid of three bearing rollers 34 which engage with a molded collar in corresponding longitudinal grooves in the upper knife 30.
  • this continuous card material is turned on by means of the respective drive roller 17 and counter roller 16 by switching on the associated stepping motor 18 or 19 or 20 to the pair of rollers 21, 22 in the merging of the feed shafts 15 fed and transported with the upper knife 30 withdrawn into the curve piece 28 such that the respective interface is in the area between the upper knife 30 and lower knife 29.
  • the correct position of the interface is detected by a sensor system 35, which is located below the cutting device and preferably consists on one side of a reflective light barrier and on the other side of a light-sensitive sensor.
  • This sensor system 35 controls the respective stepper motor 18 or 19 or 20 and the stepper motor 25 synchronized therewith, which drives the rollers 26 and 21.
  • the upper knife 30 is driven by the electric motor 32.
  • a prepaid card is separated from the continuous card material, which is then withdrawn into an initial position in the feed shaft 15 with the aid of the respective drive roller 17, so that the junction point between the feed shafts 15 is released again.
  • the cut-off value card is then fed with the help of the roller 26 to the card slot 3, from which it is conveyed into an adjacent device by a corresponding actuation of the drive device arranged in the upper housing part 2.
  • value cards can be separated from the continuous card material in the manner described above and fed to the card slot 3 without this card slot 3 losing its property that any value cards can be transported in it in both directions can.
