The card is moved from the state to the discharge stage and the card is ejected.

In order to maximize the forward and backward movement distance of the moving feeder for discharging the card, the length of the rack gear is long, but the present invention forms a structure in which two feed gears are rotated in the same direction to minimize the length of the rack gear. In this case, the rack gear is passed over the distance of the feed gear, thereby minimizing the structure of the rack gear, resulting in an excellent effect of minimizing the overall size of the moving feeder.

When the card is discharged, the motor 310 is rotated in the reverse direction, the power gear 321 is rotated in the reverse direction, thereby the feed gears (322a, 322b) also rotates in the opposite direction as in the forward movement, shear The rack gear 220 meshed with the feed gear 322a is moved in the reverse direction so that the moving feeder moves to the opposite end of the discharge end as shown in FIG. 5A.

That is, according to the present invention, since the pair of feed gears 322a and 322b divides the distance that the rack gear 220 of the moving feeder moves, the length of the rack gear 220 is reduced, so that space efficiency is very high. .

6 is a perspective view showing a card mounted in a bin according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, one side of the bin according to the present invention may further include a bearing 130, and the card may be divided into a lower part and an upper part by the bearing.

When too many cards are stacked in the bin 10, the moving feeder may be overloaded by the load, so that the load by the card may be reduced when the bearing 130 is installed on the side.

More specifically, the bearing 130 is formed at a height that does not overload the moving plate in consideration of the weight of the card. When the bearing is installed, only the card at the bottom of the bearing acts as a load on the moving plate 20, so that the card at the top of the bearing does not act as a load on the moving plate, thereby preventing overload and being discharged by the load of the card. It is possible to prevent damage such as scratching of the card surface.

In addition, when the lowermost card is discharged, the lowermost card of the upper part of the bearing moves downward as the bearing rotates, so that the lower part of the bearing is always maintained with the same number of cards to maintain the same load.
