Description

Mass storage card processing unit

The present invention relates to a card processing apparatus for issuing and retrieving cards, and in particular, it is possible to smoothly issue a card located at the bottom of the card in a state where a large-capacity card is loaded, and the issued card can be recovered and reissued under the card of the weight. It is configured so that it can be recycled.

With the rapid development of information and communication technology, the use of various cards in real life is becoming more common. Examples of such cards include public telephone cards, bus cards, parking cards, credit cards, and the like, and more various cards are being developed as the information society progresses. Recently, smart cards that can be applied to various purposes by storing information such as personal credit information and personal information have been introduced.

These various cards may be issued through a predetermined issuing device. As a conventional ticketing device, it is described in detail in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1448707 (announced date 2014.10.08.).

A typical ticketing device is divided into a card cartridge that loads a card, a card reader that reads card-related information by recognizing a card, and a card dispenser that performs a card ejection function. , When the card located at the bottom of the card cartridge is discharged toward the card dispenser by rotation of the roller, it moves toward the card discharge port by the rotation of the roller installed in the card dispenser.

At this time, as the moving card passes through the card reader, information related to the card is read, and it is converted into a database and stored.

The card moved through the card dispenser is eventually positioned in a state where a part of the card is discharged out of the discharge port, and the user draws the card partially withdrawn from the discharge port to use the card.

On the other hand, a recovery machine for collecting cards is also commercially available.

A conventional card recovery machine includes a card injection unit and a card loading unit, and a method in which cards are injected one by one through the card injection unit and transferred to a desired card storage unit through a card transfer unit or a card transfer device to sequentially load the recovered cards. It consists of.

The card issuing machine and the card collecting machine configured as described above are typically configured separately. That is, when a card is issued by the card issuing machine, the user uses the issued card, and when the used card is inserted into the card collection machine, the card used in the card collection machine is loaded.

The reason why the card issuing machine and the card collecting machine are configured separately in this way is that the positions of the cards issued from the stacking unit and the positions of the cards to be collected are different.

The card discharged from the card dispenser is the card located at the bottom of the stacked cards in the stacking unit, but the card recovered by the card collector has a structure that is stacked at the top of the stacked card. It is difficult to install a card dispenser and a card collector together.

In addition, when the card issuer and the card retrieval machine use one loading part jointly, the inlet port is structurally high and the outlet port is low. In this case, when the number of cards to be loaded is large, the height of the outlet is low or the input section is relatively high, which is inconvenient to use.

In addition, the manager frequently checks the amount of cards loaded in the card issuing machine and the amount of cards in the card dispenser, and if the number of cards loaded in the card dispenser is small, the card dispenser is loaded after a reset process, etc., as necessary. It comes with the discomfort of having to move to wealth.

The card issuing machine and card collecting machine described above are a description of a small card issuing machine and a small card collecting machine in which the number of cards loaded in the card loading unit is small.

1 is a conceptual diagram showing a small card issuing machine according to the prior art.

The conventional small card issuing machine described in detail in Korean Utility Model Publication No. 20-2009-0012080 (published date; 2009.11.26.) The card transfer unit 20 is connected. Therefore, one card located at the bottom of the cards stacked in the card loading box 10 is discharged to the card transfer unit 20, and the card discharged to the card transfer unit 20 is discharged from the card discharge port ( 30) and the card is supplied to the user.

More specifically, the card loading tray 10 is equipped with an ejection roller 21 on the bottom of the card loading tray 10 in order to eject one card located at the bottom of the loaded cards, and is seated on the upper surface of the ejection roller 21. The card is discharged while advancing forward by friction generated while the discharge roller 21 rotates.

At this time, a heavy object or the like may be seated on the upper portion of the loaded card so as to generate appropriate friction between the card located at the lowermost end and the discharge roller 21.

As the heavy object is seated on the top of the loaded card, no slip occurs between the card and the ejection roller due to the load of the heavy object and the loaded card, and the lowermost card is ejected forward by the rotation of the ejection roller.

The card issuing machine configured as described above is described as an example in the case of a small card issuing machine having about 100 cards loaded in the card loading box.

In a conventional small card issuing machine, when the height of the card loading box is increased to increase the number of cards to be loaded, the friction between the card at the bottom and the ejection roller is caused by the load of the loaded card. And the discharge roller may not rotate due to the load applied to the discharge roller. In this case, there is a problem that the issuance of the card becomes impossible.

Therefore, a conventional card issuing machine loads only a small amount of cards, and there is an inconvenience in that the cards need to be replenished from time to time.

On the other hand, in the case of a conventional card issuing machine, if the discharge roller rotates in a state where the load applied to the discharge roller is large, abrasion occurs severely and the life of the discharge roller is shortened.

The first transfer roller 131 in which the card 1 rotates in reverse and the card 1 entering by the rotation of the lifting roller 130 are loaded as the lowest card of the loaded card 1.

In this way, in the state where the collecting card enters the card loading unit 110 and is loaded, when the card is issued, the lifting roller 130 descends, and the loaded card is pushed forward so that the center of gravity is the lifting roller 130 It is located between the and the first transfer roller 131. In this state, the lifting roller 130 and the first transfer roller 131 in contact with the lowermost card 1 are rotated by the forward rotation of the second motor 102 and are discharged from the card loading unit 110.

In the card processing apparatus 100 configured as described above, a sensor for detecting the position of the card is disposed in the card transfer unit 120, and as each sensor detects the card, the second motor 102 and the third motor 103 are Forward or reverse rotation is in progress. The location of the sensor can be located in various locations depending on the design.

In addition, the RF reader 150 that transmits and receives information to and from the card may be configured to be able to acquire and process information by recognizing the barcode printed on the card in place of the barcode reader, and the RF reader 150 includes the card transfer unit 120 It is mounted on the cover 151 hinged on the top of the cover 151 and is configured to open and close by turning the cover 151 up and down. By mounting the RF reader 150 on the cover 151 as described above, the cover 151 can be opened and serviced immediately when the RF reader 150 is inspected and repaired, thereby providing convenience to work.
