[0002] With the continuous increase in traffic volume, the traffic pressure faced by highway toll stations is increasing day by day. The traditional manual card sending and receiving method is not only inefficient, but also prone to problems such as misoperation or missing cards. With the rapid development of the Internet and online payment systems, the current highway toll stations gradually use integrated card sending and receiving machines to replace manual card sending and receiving. The integrated card sending and receiving machines cooperate with the vehicle identification system to collect or issue cards. However, the card sending and receiving structures in the existing integrated card sending and receiving machines are mostly fixed on the body. After the vehicle is parked, the distance between the vehicle and the body is difficult to control, which will cause the driver to have difficulty in taking and placing the card in the car.
