Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a plastic card separation system for a plastic card processing machine, as well as a processing machine comprising such a separation system.
  • each plastic card must undergo one or more treatments before being broadcast.
  • a treatment can consist of printing patterns, photos, characters, etc. on one or both sides of the plastic card.
  • Another treatment may consist of a magnetization of a magnetic strip present on one face of the plastic card, or an initialization of a chip present on one side of the plastic card.
  • a processing machine comprises a frame on which is mounted a reservoir containing the plastic cards to be treated, at least one processing module for processing each plastic card, and a receiving magazine containing the processed plastic cards.
  • the processing machine also has a separation system which is provided to take a plastic card in the tank by separating it from the rest of the stack.
  • US 5,383,572 A discloses a system for separating a lower card from a stack of cards comprising: - a loader roller on which a first end of a lower card rests, - a movable assembly disposed above the loader roller and comprising a base with one end. Said base being fixed vertically in a remote position in which the end is at a distance from the loader roller corresponding to the thickness of the card. The base is mounted on an upstream wall extending upstream end.
  • the system is also suitable for separating plastic cards.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a separation system which does not have the drawbacks of the prior art and which in particular remains efficient regardless of the thickness of the plastic cards to be treated.
  • the base having an upstream wall which extends upstream of the loading roller, and whose lower end is, in the contact position, at a distance from the loader roller lower than the thickness of the lower plastic card, and
  • the or each groove having an opening and a depth sufficient to allow the first end of the lower plastic card to descend into said groove so that its first end passes under the lower end of the upstream wall, the opening and the remaining depth, however, such that despite the fall of the first end of the lower plastic card, the first ends of the other plastic cards remain in abutment at the rear of the upstream wall.
  • the invention also proposes a plastic card processing machine comprising a frame on which is mounted a reservoir containing a stack of plastic cards to be treated, at least one treatment module intended to treat each plastic card, and a separation system according to the previous variant and arranged between the reservoir and the or one of the treatment modules.
  • the second ends of the plastic cards rest on a support of the tank which has an inclined slope which advances towards the separation system down.
  • the Fig. 1 and the Fig. 2 show a processing machine 100 of plastic cards C which has a frame on which are fixed a separation system 150 and a tank 160 upstream of said separation system 150 and for containing a stack of plastic cards C to be treated.
  • the chassis also carries at least one processing module mounted downstream of the separation system 150 and, preferably, a downstream receiving magazine of the treatment module or modules.
  • the separation system 150 is provided for separating the plastic cards C from the bottom of the stack, ie it supports the lower plastic card C0 which is below the stack.
  • the lower plastic card C0 is the one below the stack.
  • the Fig. 1 shows the processing machine 100 before the C0 lower plastic card is taken over by the separation system 150 and the Fig. 2 shows the processing machine 100 after the lower plastic card C0 has been taken over by the separation system 150 and thus separated from the rest of the stack.
  • the separation system 150 has a loader roller 152, a moving assembly 154 which is disposed above the loader roller 152 and a return means 156.
  • the moving assembly 154 comprises a base 158 and a loading roller 159 rotatably mounted on the base 158 which is here subjected to the return means 156.
  • the base 158 takes the form of a yoke inside which is mounted the loading roller 159.
  • the moving assembly 154 and more particularly the base 158, are mounted on the frame, and are movable vertically with respect to the loader roller 152 between a contact position ( Fig. 1 ) in which the loading roller 159 is in contact with the loader roller 152 and a spaced apart position ( Fig. 2 ) in which the loading roller 159 is remote from the loader roller 152.
  • the contact position corresponds to the case where no plastic card C is between the loader roller 152 and the loading roller 159
  • the spaced position corresponds to the case where the lower plastic card C0 is between the loader roller 152 and the feed roller. loading 159.
  • the moving assembly 154 is constrained in the contact position by the return means 156 which takes for example the shape of a spring.
  • Each plastic card C has a first end C1 and a second end C2.
  • the first end C1 comes into contact with the separation system 150 and the second end C2 is remote from the separation system 150 and rests on a support 162 of the tank 160.
  • the first end C1 of the lower plastic card C0 rests on the loader roller 152.
  • the support 162 has an inclined slope 164 which advances towards the separation system 150 down.
  • the second end C2 of this lower plastic card C0 descends along the inclined slope 162 during its advance ( Fig. 2 ) until reaching a horizontal position.
  • the Fig. 3 shows the separation system 150 before the support of the lower plastic card C0
  • the Fig. 4 shows the beginning of the support of the lower plastic card C0 by the separation system 150
  • the Fig. 5 shows the separation system 150 when the lower plastic card C0 is fully supported.
  • the loader roller 152 has at least one groove 304 which extends parallel to the axis of the loader roller 152, around the periphery of the loader roller 152 and over its entire length.
  • the loader roller 152 Prior to taking charge of the lower plastic card C0, the loader roller 152 is stopped and the first end C1 of the lower plastic card C0 rests on it while the loading roller 159 bears on the loader roller 152.
  • the base 158 has an upstream wall 302 which extends upstream of the loading roller 159 relative to the direction of advance of the plastic cards C to the processing modules and here substantially vertically.
  • the upstream wall 302 here extends on either side of the loading roller 159.
  • the lower end of the upstream wall 302, that is to say the end which is closest to the roller charger 152 is at a distance from the loader roller 152 which is less than the thickness of the lower plastic card C0.
  • the Fig. 2 shows that when a plastic card C is to be processed, the loader roller 152 is rotated (arrow 402) in the direction of advance of the plastic cards C.
  • Each groove 304 has an opening and a depth sufficient to allow the first end C1 of the lower plastic card C0 to descend (arrow 404) into said groove 304 so that its first end C1 passes under the lower end of the upstream wall 302.
  • the opening and the depth remain however such that, in spite of the fall of the first end C1 of the lower plastic card C0, the other first ends C1 of the other plastic cards C remain in abutment with the rear of the upstream wall 302 and can not not go under its lower end.
  • the Fig. 5 shows that the lower plastic card C0 is supported during the rotation (402) of the loader roller 152, and that the other plastic cards C remain in abutment with the rear of the upstream wall 302 preventing multiple support.
  • the loader roller 152 drives the lower plastic card C0 by friction and the movable assembly 154 is lifted up and moved into the spaced position by action of the lower plastic card C0 on the loading roller 159.
  • the loader roller 152 is stopped and the lower plastic card C0 continues to advance because of the means provided for this purpose in said module. treatment.
  • the moving assembly 154 returns to the contact position as shown in FIG. Fig. 1 and the plastic cards C remain in abutment at the rear of the upstream wall 302, and the new lower plastic card C0 is then ready to be supported.
  • the thicknesses of the plastic cards C used are between 0.5 mm and 0.76 mm.
  • the loader roller 152 is made of a flexible material which adheres to the plastic cards C such as EPDM.
  • the diameter of the loader roller 152 is of the order of 20 mm, each groove has a depth of order 0.6mm and an aperture of about 0.8mm.
