The present application relates to the field of mechanical technologies, and more particularly, to a card storing case.
Various types of cards such as bank cards and transportation cards are an indispensable part of people's daily lives. Taking chip cards as an example, the chip cards not only support a variety of financial applications such as loan and credit, electronic cash, electronic wallet, offline payment, fast payment and so on, but also may be applied to many industry sectors such as transportations, communications, businesses, education, medical treatment, social security, tourism and entertainment, and so on. The chip cards can really achieve multipotent effects and provide customers with more abundant value-added services.
To facilitate people to handle businesses, banks are equipped with self-service card issuing machines to help customers to obtain the chip cards to handle self-service businesses. Meanwhile, in some cases, the customers also may likely need to store the cards into the card issuing machines. For example, upon the expiration of the validity period of the cards, the customers need to store the original old cards into the card issuing machines and reapply for new cards.
However, in the structure of an existing card issuing machine, paths of issuing and storing cards are too long, and when in use, the customers need to wait for a long time to complete a normal card issuing or card storing operation.
In view of the aforementioned problems, the present application is proposed to provide a card storing case to overcome the aforementioned problems or at least partially solve the aforementioned problems.
To solve the aforementioned problems, the present application discloses a card storing case, which includes:
a left plate of the card storing case and a right plate of the card storing case arranged opposite to one another, wherein an inner side of the left plate of the card storing case and an inner side of the right plate of the card storing case are respectively provided with a plurality of guide grooves; and
a card bracket slidably arranged in the guide groove.
When a card is transferred into the card bracket, the card bracket slides along the guide groove, such that the card is moved and stored in the guide groove.
Alternatively, the card storing case further includes an upper connection plate of the card storing case, a lower connection plate of the card storing case, and a support plate of the card storing case. The card storing case is enclosed and formed by the left plate of the card storing case, the right plate of the card storing case, the upper connection plate of the card storing case, the lower connection plate of the card storing case, and the support plate of the card storing case.
