Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of card issuing machines, and in particular to an autonomous card issuing machine for highways. Background Technology

[0002] Highway toll stations are important transportation hubs that affect the efficiency of highway operations. When entering a highway through a manual toll booth, a card issuing machine is used to issue a card to the driver.

[0003] Existing self-service card issuing machines for highways include a cabinet, a card storage module, a conveying mechanism, and a card issuing button. The card storage module is installed inside the cabinet, and the conveying mechanism is also installed inside the cabinet and connected to the card storage module. The card issuing button is installed on the surface of the cabinet and connected to the conveying mechanism. In use, the driver drives the vehicle to the side of the cabinet, rolls down the window, and presses the card issuing button. The conveying mechanism delivers the card to the card dispenser, and the driver can then retrieve the card. However, in actual use, this type of self-service card issuing machine for highways has several drawbacks. If the driver's parking position is slightly off, they may either be too far to reach the card, requiring them to unbuckle their seatbelt, lean out, or even open the door to get out of the car to retrieve it, or the vehicle may be too close, causing the device to scrape against it. The inconvenience of retrieving the card is insufficient, affecting traffic efficiency and posing safety hazards.

[0004] In the process of implementing this embodiment, the inventors discovered at least the following problems: Existing self-service card issuing machines on highways are not convenient enough for card retrieval, affecting traffic efficiency and posing safety hazards. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a self-service card issuing machine for highways, which solves the technical problems of existing self-service card issuing machines for highways, such as insufficient convenience of card issuance, impact on traffic efficiency, and potential safety hazards.

[0006] Invention solution: This invention provides an autonomous toll card issuing machine for highways, comprising a cabinet, a card issuing device, and a probe component. The cabinet is equipped with a slide rail. The card issuing device includes a telescopic box, a card storage assembly, a card pushing assembly, a card delivery assembly, and a first telescopic motor. The telescopic box is connected to the slide rail and has a card pushing slot, a card dispensing port, and a storage slot. The card dispensing port communicates with the card pushing slot. The card pushing assembly includes a second telescopic motor and a push plate. The second telescopic motor is installed in the card pushing slot, and the push plate is connected to the output end of the second telescopic motor. The card delivery assembly includes a reciprocating motor and a card delivery arm. The reciprocating motor is installed in the storage slot, and the card delivery arm is installed in the storage slot and is drivenly connected to the reciprocating motor. The arm also has a card delivery handle, which corresponds to the position of the card dispensing port. The first telescopic motor is installed in the cabinet and is connected to the telescopic box. The probe component is located on one side of the cabinet and is electrically connected to the first telescopic motor, the second telescopic motor, and the reciprocating motor.

[0007] Furthermore, the card feeder is equipped with an upper elastic clamp and a lower elastic clamp.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper elastic clamp includes a clamping spring and a clamping block; one end of the clamping spring is connected to the feed hand, and the other end is connected to the clamping block.

[0009] Furthermore, the card delivery hand is equipped with a baffle frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the storage slot is fitted with a decorative cover.

[0011] Furthermore, the card storage assembly includes a card storage box, a card loading frame, and a stepping card feeding assembly; the card storage box is installed on the telescopic box; the card loading frame is installed on the card storage box; the stepping card feeding assembly is installed on the card storage box and is kinetically connected to the card loading frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the card storage box is provided with a first slide groove and a second slide groove; the card mounting frame is provided with a sliding column, a slider, a first pressure-sensitive sensor and a second pressure-sensitive sensor; the sliding column is disposed in the first slide groove, and the slider is disposed in the second slide groove; the stepping card feeding assembly includes a third telescopic motor, a fourth telescopic motor and an elastic locking element; the third telescopic motor is installed in the card storage box and abuts against the sliding column; the fourth telescopic motor is installed in the card storage box and is connected to the elastic locking element, which can engage with the slider; the first pressure-sensitive sensor is connected to the third telescopic motor, and the second pressure-sensitive sensor is connected to the fourth telescopic motor.

[0013] Furthermore, the elastic locking component includes a telescopic cylinder, a retaining spring, and a locking head; the telescopic cylinder is connected to the output end of the fourth telescopic motor, one end of the retaining spring is fixedly connected to the telescopic cylinder, and the other end is connected to the locking head.

[0014] Beneficial Effects: This invention provides a self-service card dispensing machine for highways. When a driver passes a sensor, the sensor sends electrical signals to a first telescopic motor, a second telescopic motor, and a reciprocating motor. The first telescopic motor pushes the telescopic box outward, and the second telescopic motor pushes a push plate to push the card to the card dispensing slot. At this point, the card delivery hand clamps the card, and the reciprocating motor drives the card delivery arm and the card delivery hand to move, extending the card. The driver can then continue driving to the vicinity of the cabinet to retrieve the card. Afterward, the reciprocating motor-driven card delivery arm and the card delivery hand retract into the storage slot, and the first telescopic motor drives the telescopic box to retract. This self-service card dispensing machine for highways can deliver cards twice via telescopic extension, and the driver does not need to get out of the vehicle to press a button to retrieve the card, saving operation time, making card retrieval convenient for the driver, not affecting traffic efficiency, and with low safety risks.
