Rotary-disk type card storage and retrieval device and card storage and retrieval apparatus

A card storage and retrieval apparatus comprising:

• a rotary-disk type card storage and retrieval device that comprises:
• a support;
• a rotary disk disposed on the support;
• a rotary disk driving mechanism that drives the rotary disk to rotate;
• and
• a card-holding belt that supports the cards,
• a card issuing device that holds cards to be stored and issues the cards one by one;
• and
• a card transport mechanism,
• wherein an axis of the rotary disk is horizontally arranged,
• wherein the rotary disk is provided with a plurality of card storage slots that store cards, the plurality of card storage slots being evenly distributed along a circumferential direction of the rotary disk,
• wherein one end of each of the plurality of card storage slots is an access opening for a card to enter and exit, the access opening being located on an outer cylindrical surface of the rotary disk, and the other end of each of the plurality of card storage slots extends into the interior of the rotary disk,
• wherein the card-holding belt has a card-holding section surrounding a lower portion of the outer cylindrical surface of the rotary disk, and the card-holding belt rotates synchronously with the rotary disk, and
• wherein the card-holding section of the card-holding belt has a blocking portion extending to the access openings of the card storage slots and the cards in the lower portion of the rotary disk are supported by the blocking portion,
• wherein a card entrance-exit that allows the cards to enter or leave the card storage slots of the rotary disk is provided on an outer side of the rotary disk of the rotary-disk type card storage and retrieval device, and
• wherein the card transport mechanism transports a card issued by the card issuing device to the card entrance-exit and puts the card into a card storage slot of the rotary disk, and takes out a card at the card entrance-exit from a card storage slot of the rotary disk and transports the card to a user retrieval opening.
