Patent ID: 8864028

Claim:
A card information protection device, which is provided between a transverse card inserting slot and a longitudinal magnetic card information reader, and comprises a transverse magnetic card receiving slot and a magnetic card conveying channel provided between the transverse magnetic card receiving slot and the longitudinal magnetic card information reader, wherein, a magnetic card rotating mechanism is provided in the magnetic card conveying channel for rotating a magnetic card inserted transversely to a longitudinal direction and conveying the magnetic card into the longitudinal magnetic card information reader, and then rotating the magnetic card, which is in the longitudinal direction and is returned by the longitudinal magnetic card information reader, to a transverse direction, thereby conveying the magnetic card out; wherein the magnetic card conveying channel comprises a channel plate, and the magnetic card rotating mechanism comprises: two rotary wheels provided axis-symmetrically in a direction that the magnetic card is carried at an outer side of the channel plate, and a power mechanism for providing power to the rotary wheels, wherein the channel plate is provided with grooves at positions corresponding to the rotary wheels, such that the rotary wheels protrude in the magnetic card conveying channel and form friction forces with the magnetic card being conveyed.
