Automatic card sending machine

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic card sending machine comprising a card storage mechanism, a card poking mechanism for poking cards in the storage mechanism into a card forwarding channel one by one and a card forwarding mechanism for forwarding the cards in the card feeding channel; wherein, the card forwarding channel comprises two or more than two card feeding channels having different longitudinal heights, and a card guiding mechanism can control the cards to enter different card feeding channels. Although the automatic card sending machine is provided with only one card forwarding mechanism, one fewer than the existing automatic card sending machine has, the automatic card sending machine is still capable of forwarding cards to two or more than two card feeding channels having different heights, therefore, compared with the existing automatic card sending machine, the invention not only meets the requirements for vehicles of various cab heights, but also greatly expands the card storage space of the card storage area and further expands the card storage capacity. The invention can not only satisfy various requirements of users, but also send cards to both high-cab and low-cab vehicles in a balanced manner by making full use of the capacity of the card storage mechanism; and additionally, the invention has the advantages of lower cost and lower failure rate by arranging only one card forwarding mechanism.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to an automatic card issuing machine used in a highway toll collection system. Background technique: [0002] At present, unattended automatic card issuing machines have been used in the entrance issuing lanes of expressway toll stations to replace manual card issuing, which not only saves labor costs, but also eliminates the loss of cards and cheating in entry information writing that exist in manual card issuing. loophole. However, compared with manual card issuing, the height of the card outlet of the automatic card issuing machine is constant, and it cannot be adjusted according to the height of the driver's cab. It is convenient to take out the card. The existing automatic card issuing machine is usually equipped with two card issuing ports, the upper and the lower. The card-issuing equipment issued independently through their own card-issuing equipment, and its automatic card-issuing machine has two sets of card-issuing e...

However, compared with manual card issuing, the height of the card outlet of the automatic card issuing machine is constant, and it cannot be adjusted according to the height of the driver's cab. It is convenient to take out the card. The existing automatic card issuing machine is usually equipped with two card issuing ports, the upper and the lower. The card issuing equipment independently issues cards through separate card issuing equipment, and its automatic card issuing machine has two sets of card issuing equipment, which not only has high machine cost, complicated structure, and difficult maintenance

And in order to facilitate installation and maintenance, a certain space needs to be reserved between the upper and lower sets of card issuing equipment for operation during installation and maintenance, which occupies the relatively narrow space of the original card storage mechanism, so that the amount of card storage is not much In particular, the user should use the most advanced path induction card (with the ability to sense and record the information of each intersection passed by the vehicle, accurately measure the actual driving path of the vehicle, and make the account removal and charging of the owners of the expressways charged by the network easier. For accurate and reasonable functions), because the path induction card has a battery, the thickness of the card is 5-6mm / sheet, which is 7-8 times thicker than the currently used IC card, and its storage capacity is even smaller. Adding cards is cumbersome to operate, and it doesn't make much sense to save labor

In addition, the number of high and low vehicles through the automatic card issuing machine cannot be the same, and the upper and lower card storage mechanisms cannot make full use of the card storage space at the same time. The use of card capacity space is wasted, which will increase the work of adding cards, especially for high-end vehicles. 1. When the number of low-end models is very different, there is often a serious backlog of cards in one card storage mechanism, while another card storage mechanism needs to add cards frequently, and the workload of adding cards is even greater.
