JPS6279156A - Card supply device - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a compact and low price card supply device by embodying a single mechanism consisting of a card supply mechanism and a card sorting one to reduce the number of components. CONSTITUTION:A card 2 travelling on a base surface 1 is introduced to a guide plate 5 integral with a swing lever 4 with the outer peripheral speed of a drive roller 3 pressed against an opposed press roller 5 to be received in predetermined stackers 7a-7n. The swing lever 4 is swung to a predetermined position by a pulse drive motor 8. When the press roller 5 is selectively located in a position a by the swing lever 4, the card is discharged tangentially at the opposing position of rollers and introduced to the guide plate 6 to be received in the stacker 7a. Similarly when the roller 5 is selectively located in a position b, the card is received in the stacker 7b. Then, similarly the card 2 can be sorted and received in the predetermined stacker 7n by changing over the position of the press roller with the swing lever.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a card feeding device such as a card reader, and more particularly to a card feeding device suitable for a system for storing fed cards in sections.

[Background of the invention]

Conventionally, as this type of device, there are known devices in which the fed cards are sorted by driving a partition plate provided on the card ejection side, and devices in which the fed cards are sorted by moving a stacker up and down. (% Open/Close No. 57-111683, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 57-111684) However, since the drive mechanism for the partition plate and stacker is required separately from the feeding mechanism, there are problems in terms of downsizing and lowering the price of the device. Ta.

[Purpose of the invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a card feeding device that is small and inexpensive and can store different types of feeding cards.

[Summary of the invention]

In this invention, cards are sorted and stored by utilizing the fact that the card ejection direction is changed by changing the opposing positions of the driving roller and the pressure roller.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. A brief description of the known card feeding mechanism will be provided.

FIG. 1 shows a state in which cards 2 are fed, sorted, and stored by the card feeding device according to the present invention, and the cards 2 running on the base surface 1 are connected to a rotational drive source (not shown). The outer circumferential surface of the card is pressed by a drive roller 3 in contact with the card 2 and a pressure roller 5 facing the drive roller 3. At the outer circumferential speed of the drive roller 3, the card is guided to a guide plate 6 integrated with a swing lever 4, and is guided to a predetermined stacker. Store it in 7α~7n. The swing lever is swung into a predetermined position by a pulse drive motor 8. By swinging lever 4.

When the pressure roller 5 is at position a, the card is ejected in the tangential direction at the position opposite the roller, and the card is ejected from the guide plate 6.
and stored in the stacker 7α. Similarly, when position b is selected, the paper is stored in the stacker 7b. Similarly, by changing the position of the pressure roller with the swing lever, the cards 2 can be stored in the predetermined stacker 7nK section.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, since the card feeding and sorting mechanisms are realized in one mechanism, the number of constituent members can be reduced, and the card feeding device can be made smaller and lower in price.
