DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0023] Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail accompanying the drawings and examples as follows.

[0024] FIG. 1 to FIG. 7 illustrate a motor-driven telescopic intelligent auxiliary device for a card-issuing machine, which comprises a button auxiliary device and a card-issuing auxiliary device. The button auxiliary device comprises a driving mechanism 1 arranged on the back of the button inside the card-issuing machine, and a take-up and pay-off mechanism 2 arranged on the driving mechanism 1. The card-issuing auxiliary device comprises a card-sending mechanism 3 arranged on the back of the card outlet inside the card-issuing machine, and a card acquiring mechanism 4 installed on the outer wall of the card outlet.

[0025] The driving mechanism 1 comprises a linear actuator 11 horizontally installed inside the card-issuing machine. The output end of the linear actuator 11 extends towards the button. The output end of the linear actuator 11 is provided with a fixing sleeve 12 for fixing the button. The button is arranged inside the fixing sleeve 12, and a first through hole is provided on the outer wall of the card-issuing machine for the fixing sleeve 12 to pass through.

[0026] When a vehicle is detected next to the card-issuing machine, the linear actuator 11 pushes the fixing sleeve 12 forward. After the button arranged inside the fixing sleeve 12 is extended out, it is more convenient for the driver to press the button. The first through hole is provided for the output end of the linear actuator 11 and the fixing sleeve 12 to pass through.

[0027] The take-up and pay-off mechanism 2 comprises a fixture 21. The fixture 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall at the rear end of the linear actuator 11. The fixing rod 22 is horizontally arranged at the top of the fixture 21. A flat turbine spring 24 is fixedly installed around the top of the fixing rod 22, and one end of the flat turbine spring 24 is fixedly connected to the back of the button. A second through hole 25 is provided inside the flat turbine spring 24 for button lines to pass through. The fixing rod 22 is provided with a third through hole 23 for button lines to pass through, and the middle part of the outer wall of the linear actuator 11 is also provided with a spring limiting member 26.

[0028] When the linear actuator 11 pushes the button out, the power and signal lines of the button also need to be stretched along, and therefore there is a need for using the flat turbine spring 24. The second through hole 25 is provided in the flat turbine spring 24, and the signal and power lines are inserted into the second through hole 25. When the flat turbine spring 24 is straightened or rolled up, the signal and power lines are also straightened or rolled up accordingly. A third through hole 23 is provided on the fixing rod 22 for the power and signal lines to pass through, in order to connect to the controller.

[0029] The card-sending mechanism 3 comprises an electric sliding table 31, card-sending rod 32, card-sending box 33 and two gas springs 34. The electric sliding table 31 is horizontally installed inside the card-issuing machine and below the card outlet. The sliding block of the electric sliding table 31 is provided with a mounting stand 35, and the two gas springs 34 are horizontally installed on the mounting stand 35. The output end of each of the gas springs 34 extends towards a limiting plate 422. The rear end of the card-sending rod 32 is fixedly connected to the mounting stand 35. The top of the card-sending rod 32 passes through the outer wall of the card-issuing machine and is located below the card outlet. The card-sending box 33 is fixedly installed on the top of the card-sending rod 32.

[0030] The card acquiring mechanism 4 comprises a clamping assembly 41 and two sets of telescopic assemblies 42 arranged on respective sides of the card outlet. The two sets of telescopic assemblies 42 are structurally identical to each other, and each comprises a clamping block 421, limiting plate 422, first rod 423 and second rod 424. The clamping block 421 is arranged outside the card-issuing machine and located at the card outlet. The top of the first rod 423 and the top of the second rod 424 are connected to the bottom of the clamping block 421. The bottom of the first rod 423 and the bottom of the second rod 424 horizontally pass through the outer wall of the card-issuing machine, and the first rod 423 and second rod 424 are slidingly fitted on the outer wall of the card-issuing machine. The front end of the first rod 423 and the front end of the second rod 424 are both provided with a limiting ring 425 located outside the card-issuing machine. The bottom of the first rod 423 and the bottom of the second rod 424 are fixedly connected to the limiting plate 422. A return spring 426 is provided on the outer wall of each of the first rod 423 and the second rod 424 at the part located inside the card-issuing machine. The return spring 426 is located between the limiting ring 425 and the limiting plate 422. The clamping assembly 41 is installed on one of the clamping blocks 421.

[0031] The clamping assembly 41 comprises a miniature electric telescopic rod 411, output rod 412 and clamping plate 413. The miniature electric telescopic rod 411 is installed inside the clamping block 421, and the output end of the miniature electric telescopic rod 411 extends towards the other clamping block 421. One end of the output rod 412 is connected to the output end of the miniature electric telescopic rod 411, and the other end of the output rod 412 passes through the outer wall of the clamping block 421. The output rod 412 is slidingly fitted on the clamping block 421, and the clamping plate 413 is fixedly installed on the other end of the output rod 412.

[0032] After the driver presses the button, the card outlet will issue a card, and part of the card will be extended out of the card outlet. The miniature electric telescopic rod 411 pushes the output rod 412, and the clamping plate 413 on the output rod 412 pushes the card to facing towards the other clamping block 421 and cooperates with another clamping block 421 to clamp the card. Meanwhile, the electric sliding table 31 drives the sliding block to make the output end of the gas springs 34 face the limiting plate 422, so that the telescopic assemblies 42 are moved in parallel. After the entire card is extended out of the card outlet, the clamping assembly 41 releases the card so that the card naturally falls into the card-sending box 33. Meanwhile, the electric sliding table 31 mechanically drives the sliding block to make the card-sending box 33 move forward so that the driver may reach the card more easily. One thing to be noted is that when the electric sliding table 31 mechanically drives the sliding block to continue moving forward, the telescopic assembly 42 will not be damaged from abutting, as the telescopic assembly 42 is abutted by the gas spring 34. When the limiting plate 422 abuts the return spring 426 so that the sliding block cannot move forward, the output shaft of the gas springs 34 will retract when under the force. After the all steps of sending the card are completed, the return spring 426 will restore and reset the telescopic assembly 42.

[0033] The above-mentioned are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not meant to limit the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent modifications and changes made based on the spirit of the above embodiments of the present invention shall fall within the claimed scope of the present invention.
