Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of highway card swiping machines, and in particular to a large-capacity card counting machine with a disinfection mechanism. Background Art

[0002] With the implementation of the nationwide network toll collection on highways, a large number of battery-powered path pass cards are needed. New cards need to be initialized after purchase, and they need to be manually swiped through the reader one by one. Every day, a large number of cards are recycled and counted and then distributed to various stations for use. At present, most stations still count cards manually, which is inefficient and easy to miscount, resulting in increased labor costs and card management errors. In addition, there is a fatal weakness that humans cannot judge whether the card is good or bad, whether the pass card has sufficient power; and after long-term use, the surface of the pass card will be dirty and even bacteria and viruses, which poses a great safety problem for workers.

[0003] For example, the Chinese invention patent application with publication number CN113112625A discloses a self-service toll payment machine with automatic disinfection function for highways, including a toll payment machine housing, at least two display screens and at least two self-service payment windows are arranged on the outside of the toll payment machine housing, and at least two automatic disinfection devices are arranged inside the toll payment machine housing corresponding to the external devices of the toll payment machine housing, and the automatic disinfection devices are connected to the display screen and the self-service payment window to realize automatic disinfection of the highway CPC card. The self-service toll payment machine with automatic disinfection function has a simple structure and is easy to implement. On the basis of the existing toll payment machine and payment method, a disinfection mechanism is added to organically combine the disinfection function with the payment function, which not only improves the efficiency of highway toll payment, but also effectively avoids the spread of viruses and bacteria through CPC cards as a medium caused by manual card collection. However, the toll payment machine has the problems of small card capacity, large overall volume, and no way to know the number of cards and whether the cards are intact. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the problems of large floor space and inaccurate card reading in the prior art, the present invention provides a large-capacity card counting machine with a disinfection mechanism, which solves the above-mentioned defects by providing a card slot mechanism, a card separation mechanism and a disinfection mechanism.

[0005] A large-capacity card counting machine with a disinfection mechanism comprises a card counting machine body, on which a card slot mechanism, a display screen, a card separating mechanism and a disinfection mechanism are arranged. The card slot mechanism is an annular structure located on the top of the card counting machine body and rotates relative to the center point of the card counting machine body when working. The card slot mechanism comprises a plurality of evenly distributed card slots for placing cards.

[0006] Since the path pass card is thick (the pass card used before the network fee is about 0.8mm thick, and the card used after the network fee is 5mm thick), it takes up a lot of space, so the card capacity should be large when designing (more than 300 cards should be loaded at a time), and the equipment should be able to load more pass cards in a smaller volume. Six card slots are evenly distributed along the circumference, and the card slots rotate around the center of the circle during operation. The structure is compact and the layout is ingenious, which minimizes the space.

[0007] Preferably, the card slot mechanism includes six fan-shaped columnar cavity structural members, a groove is formed between two adjacent cavity structural members, and a card-ejecting baffle is provided at the bottom of the groove to prevent the card from falling out of the groove during operation. The advantage of setting six fan-shaped columnar cavity structural members is that the card issuing machine occupies a smaller space and has a lighter overall weight while ensuring a large capacity of cards, and the manufacturing cost is also reduced accordingly.

[0008] In any of the above schemes, it is preferred that the card slot mechanism also includes a supporting base, which is provided with a rotating mechanism, a tray, a motor, a card pushing mechanism base and a rotating limiter, and the card pushing mechanism base is provided with a movable pushing block; the supporting base is provided with a main switch, an indicator light and a cabinet door switch.

[0009] When working, first start the motor and the rotating mechanism rotates. When the groove in the card slot mechanism rotates to the card inlet of the card separating mechanism, the movable push block in the base of the card pushing mechanism pushes the card into the card separating mechanism. During this process, the rotation limiter limits the rotating mechanism. When the groove is aligned with the card inlet of the card separating mechanism, it pauses for 1-2 seconds to push the card.

[0010] In any of the above schemes, it is preferred that the card separation mechanism is located on one side of the card counting machine body, and includes a card inlet, a card outlet, a stepper motor and a bad card recovery channel, and a card separation rotating mechanism, a read-write antenna and a card position detection sensor are provided on the top of the bad card recovery channel. The bad card recovery channel is designed with a read-write antenna to complete the card reading and writing operation; the bad card recovery channel is designed with a card separation rotating mechanism to separate and recover the detected abnormal cards; the card separation rotating mechanism is equipped with a card position detection sensor, which can control the position of the pass card through the sensor, and count the number of cards through the change of the sensor state and a series of other operating functions.

[0011] In any of the above solutions, it is preferred that the card separation rotating mechanism is connected to a transmission belt mechanism, and the transmission belt mechanism is driven by a stepping motor.

[0012] In any of the above schemes, preferably, the card dividing and rotating mechanism comprises a movable shaft, a shaft clamping block, a bracket column and two groups of card receiving structural parts, and a torsion spring is provided between the two groups of card receiving structural parts.

[0013] In any of the above schemes, it is preferred that the movable shaft is installed on a movable shaft bracket; and the card receiving structure comprises a long-axis card receiving structure, a middle-axis card receiving structure and a short-axis card receiving structure.

[0014] In any of the above schemes, it is preferred that the disinfection mechanism is connected to the card distribution mechanism, and the disinfection mechanism includes a power mechanism, a disinfection liquid cup, a liquid guide tube, a water tray, a water absorbent cotton roller wheel group and a main switch.

[0015] In any of the above schemes, preferably, a dispenser switch is provided at the lower end of the disinfectant cup, a cam mechanism is provided at the lower end of the switch, and the lower end of the cam mechanism abuts against the carrier.

[0016] In any of the above schemes, preferably, the absorbent cotton roller set is fixed to the main shell of the disinfection mechanism through a bracket column and a side plate, and the absorbent cotton roller set is divided into two groups, and each group of the absorbent cotton roller set includes two sponge rollers.

[0026] The specific implementation of the large-capacity card counting machine with a disinfection mechanism of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0027] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, this is a schematic structural diagram of a preferred embodiment of a large-capacity card counting machine with a disinfection mechanism according to the present invention.

[0028] A large-capacity card counting machine with a disinfection mechanism comprises a card counting machine body 1, on which a card slot mechanism 2, a display screen 3, a card dividing mechanism 4 and a disinfection mechanism 5 are provided. The card slot mechanism 2 is an annular structure located on the top of the card counting machine body 1, and rotates relative to the center point of the card counting machine body 1 during operation; the card slot mechanism 2 comprises a plurality of evenly distributed card slots for placing cards 6. Since the path pass card is relatively thick (the pass card used before networking and charging is about 0.8mm thick, and the card used after networking and charging is 5mm thick), it occupies a large space, so the card capacity should be large during design (more than 300 cards should be loaded at a time), and the equipment should be able to load more pass cards in a smaller volume. Six card slots are evenly distributed along the circumference, and the card slots rotate around the center of the circle during operation. The structure is compact and the layout is ingenious, which minimizes space (see Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown).

[0029] In this embodiment, the card slot mechanism 2 includes six fan-shaped columnar cavity structures, and a groove is formed between two adjacent cavity structures. A card-ejecting baffle 22 is provided at the bottom of the groove to prevent the card 6 from falling out of the groove during operation. The advantage of setting six fan-shaped columnar cavity structures is that the card issuing machine occupies a smaller space and has a lighter overall weight while ensuring a large capacity of cards, and the manufacturing cost is also reduced accordingly.

[0030] In this embodiment, the card slot mechanism 2 also includes a supporting base 21, which is provided with a rotating mechanism 23, a tray 24, a motor 25, a card pushing mechanism base 26 and a rotating limiter 27, and the card pushing mechanism base 26 has a movable pushing block; the supporting base 21 is provided with a main switch, an indicator light and a cabinet door switch.

[0031] The working process of the card slot mechanism 2 is as follows: first, turn on the main switch on the supporting base 21. At this time, the motor 25 starts, and the rotating mechanism 23 rotates. When the groove in the card slot mechanism 2 rotates to the card inlet 42 of the card separating mechanism 4, the movable push block in the card pushing mechanism base 26 pushes the card 6 into the card separating mechanism 4. During this process, the rotating limiter 27 limits the rotating mechanism 23. When the groove is aligned with the card inlet 42 of the card separating mechanism 4, it pauses for 1-2 seconds to push the card.

[0032] See next Figure 4-5 As shown, according to the card issuing machine with a disinfection mechanism of the utility model Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of the card separation mechanism in the illustrated embodiment.

[0033] In this embodiment, the card separating mechanism 4 is located between the card slot mechanism 2 and the disinfection mechanism 5, and includes a card inlet 42, a card outlet 45, a stepper motor 47 and a recycling channel 41. A sensor bracket 422 and a card inlet sensor 421 are provided at the card inlet 42. The card inlet sensor 421 is used to detect in real time whether a card enters: a card separating rotating mechanism 43, a read-write antenna 44 and a card position detection sensor are provided at the top of the recycling channel 41. The card separating rotating mechanism 43 is a one-way limiter, which allows the card 6 to fall into the recycling channel 41 for recycling.

[0034] The recycling channel 41 is designed with a read-write antenna to complete the card reading and writing operation; the recycling channel 41 is designed with a card separation and rotation mechanism 43 to separate and recycle the detected abnormal cards; a card position detection sensor is installed on the card separation and rotation mechanism 43, which can control the position of the pass card 6 through the sensor, and count the number of cards through the change of the sensor state and a series of other operating functions.

[0035] In this embodiment, the card dividing rotating mechanism 43 is connected to the transmission belt mechanism 46, the transmission belt mechanism 46 is driven by a stepper motor 47, and the stepper motor 47 is fixed on the base 48; a panel 49 is provided on the upper part of the base 48, and the panel 49 is divided into a front panel and a rear panel, and a circuit board 481 is provided on the rear panel.

[0036] See also Figure 6 As shown, according to the card issuing machine with a disinfection mechanism of the utility model Figure 6 A schematic structural diagram of the card splitting rotation mechanism in the illustrated embodiment.

[0037] In this embodiment, the card dividing rotation mechanism 43 includes a movable shaft 431, an shaft block 433, a bracket column 435 and two groups of card receiving structures, and a torsion spring 434 is provided between the two groups of card receiving structures; the movable shaft 431 is installed on the movable shaft bracket 432; the card receiving structure includes a long-axis card receiving structure 436, a middle-axis card receiving structure 437 and a short-axis card receiving structure 438.

[0038] The working process of the card sorting mechanism 4 is as follows: after the stepper motor 47 is started, the card 6 from the card slot mechanism 2 enters the card sorting mechanism 4 through the card inlet 42. First, after the card 6 enters the card inlet 42, the card sensor 421 detects the position of the card and then controls the position of the card, as well as counts the number of cards through changes in the sensor state. Then the card enters the card sorting rotating mechanism 43. At this time, the movable shaft 431 and the shaft clamp block 433 work to push the card to the read-write antenna 44 to complete the card reading and writing operation. When a bad card is found during the reading and writing process, the stepper motor 47 reverses, and the bad card falls into the recycling channel 41 through the limit of the card sorting rotating mechanism 43 for recycling. The normal card in the recycling channel will continue to be pushed to the card outlet 45, and then arrive at the disinfection mechanism 5 for disinfection.

[0039] like Figure 7 As shown, according to the card issuing machine with a disinfection mechanism of the utility model Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of the disinfection mechanism in the illustrated embodiment.

[0040] In this embodiment, the disinfection mechanism 5 is connected to the card distribution mechanism 4, and the disinfection mechanism 5 includes a power mechanism, a disinfection liquid cup 51, a liquid guide tube 53, a water tray 54, a water absorbent cotton roller group 55 and a main switch 56; the lower end of the disinfection liquid cup 51 is provided with a liquid dispenser switch 52, and the lower end of the switch is provided with a cam mechanism 518 (see Fig. 9 As shown in the figure, the lower end of the cam mechanism 518 rests on the carrier 520; the liquid guide tube 53 is divided into an upper liquid guide tube and a lower liquid guide tube, one end of the upper liquid guide tube is connected to the upper end of the liquid dispenser switch 52, and the other end is connected to the speed change valve 59; one end of the lower liquid guide tube is connected to the lower end of the liquid dispenser switch 52, and the other end is connected to the liquid carrier tube 531.

[0041] In this embodiment, the lower end of the speed change valve 59 is connected to a direction change valve 511 to control the flow rate and direction of the disinfectant and reduce the waste of the disinfectant; a drain port 57 is provided at the bottom of the water tray 54 .

[0042] In this embodiment, the absorbent cotton roller set 55 is fixed to the main housing of the disinfection mechanism through a bracket column 57 and a side plate 58. The absorbent cotton roller set 55 is divided into two groups, and each group of absorbent cotton roller sets includes two sponge rollers 512.

[0043] Last read Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown, according to the card issuing machine with a disinfection mechanism of the utility model Figure 7 Schematic diagram of the internal structure of the embodiment shown.

[0044] In this embodiment, the power mechanism includes a motor 519 , a pulley 517 , a belt 516 , a gear 515 , and a movable shaft 513 , and shaft springs 514 are provided at both ends of the movable shaft 513 .

[0045] The working process of the disinfection mechanism 5 is as follows: first, the main switch 56 is turned on, and the card 6 from the card separation mechanism 4 enters the loading rack 520. At this time, the motor 519 works, driving the pulley 517 and the belt 516 to rotate, and then driving the gear 515 to rotate. At this time, the card 6 is transported forward. When the card 6 touches the cam mechanism 518, the cam mechanism 518 pushes the liquid dispenser switch 52 open, and the disinfectant in the disinfectant cup 51 passes through the liquid guide tube 53 and the liquid carrier tube 531 to reach the absorbent cotton roller group 55, and then is evenly applied to the card 6; when the card 6 is disinfected, it will continue to move forward and leave the disinfection mechanism 5. At this time, the cam mechanism 518 naturally droops, and the liquid dispenser switch 52 is closed to avoid waste of disinfectant.
