Gravity-adaptive card separation mechanism and card distribution device with the mechanism

Abstract

A gravity-adaptive card separation mechanism, which keeps the friction forces of stacked hard cards basically consistent. The mechanism is arranged on a storage box for storing stacked hard cards, and is used for separating the hard cards individually. The mechanism comprises: a support frame which is used for installing and supporting a floating separation unit and is relatively fixed and assembled with the storage box; and a floating separation unit which is provided with an installation plate, a card milling wheel used for separating cards, a drive motor used for providing a driving force for the card milling wheel, and limiting shafts respectively arranged on the front and rear of the card milling wheel being installed on the mounting plate, wherein the support frame is provided with U-shaped guide groove corresponding to the up and down floating stroke positions of the limiting shafts, the limiting shafts float in the U-shaped guide slots up and down, so that the floating separation unit floats in the support frame up and down, and a position detection unit used for detecting the maximum up and down floating stroke of the floating separation unit is arranged on the support frame.
