Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an automatic card insertion device that automatically inserts cards such as driver's licenses and identification cards between two cases.

In the past, this work was done manually, which resulted in the cards being inserted in uneven positions, and the work being inefficient as it took time and effort to open the case when it was folded in half. For these reasons, there was a desire to develop an automatic card insertion device.

The present invention was developed in response to such needs, and provides an automatic card insertion device that can efficiently and accurately insert a card into a predetermined position within a case.

This invention consists of a storage container that stores cards and cases as materials, and a vacuum suction cup installed at the tip of a cylinder that is driven according to a preset cycle timing to take out the cards and cases one by one from the storage container and place them in a predetermined position. A transfer device is used to transfer the case to the specified position, and the case is initially folded in half and is suctioned by a vacuum suction cup for the case, and then the other side of the case is suctioned by a suction cup for opening the case. It consists of a case opening device that opens the mouth of the case, and a card insertion device that inserts a card placed on a card receiving plate between the opened cases.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. A card A and a case B folded in half are stored in appropriate amounts in storage containers 1 and 2, stacked one on top of the other.

The card A transfer device is composed of a vertical transfer cylinder 3 for vertically transferring the card, a swing cylinder 4 for swinging the vertical transfer cylinder, and a card vacuum suction cup 5 attached to the tip of the vertical transfer cylinder 3.

Note that the inside of the card vacuum suction cup 5 is evacuated by operating a vacuum device in accordance with a preset cycle timing.

6 indicates a vacuum pipe for connecting to vacuum equipment.

The transfer device for case B is similar to the transfer device for card A.
It consists of a vertical transfer cylinder 7, a swing cylinder 8, and a vacuum suction cup 9 for the case, and 10 is a vacuum pipe for the vacuum suction cup 9 for the case.

The case opening device is composed of a case opening cylinder 11 and a case opening vacuum suction cup 12, and the case opening vacuum suction cup 12 has a vacuum pipe 13 connected to a vacuum device for evacuating the inside of the suction cup. It is installed.

The card insertion device is composed of a cylinder 14 and a card receiving plate 15.

Next, the operation of the device of the present invention will be explained.

From the state shown in FIG. 1, the vertical transfer cylinders 3 and 7 are first transferred directly above the card A and the case B by the swing cylinders 4 and 8.

Subsequently, when the upper and lower transfer cylinders 3 and 7 operate, the vacuum suction cups 5 and 9 descend to vacuum-suction the cards A and case B in the storage containers 1 and 2 one by one until they reach the position shown in FIG. The card A is transferred to a predetermined position on the card receiving plate 15, and the case B is transferred to the predetermined position while being folded in half.

When the card A and the case B have been transferred to the predetermined positions, the inside of the vacuum suction cup 12 for opening the case is evacuated, and at the same time, the cylinder 11 is operated, and as shown in FIG. The other side is vacuum suctioned by the vacuum suction cup 13, and the case B is opened.

After that, operate the cylinder 10 to move the card receiving plate 15 at the tip of the cylinder in the direction of the arrow, and transfer the card A to the case B.
After the cylinder 10 is inserted into the cylinder 10, the cylinder 10 is returned to its original position.

At the same time, when the pressure in the vacuum suction cups 9 and 12 is returned to normal pressure, the case B, with the card A inserted, slides over the vacuum suction cup 12 and fits into the product receiving box, completing one cycle.

Repeat this operation below. With the above structure, the present invention can automatically insert the card into the case at a predetermined timing, thereby improving efficiency and allowing the card to be inserted at a predetermined position in the case.
