[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the utility model, and cannot be understood as limiting the utility model.
[0027] The following describes an embodiment of the utility model based on its overall structure.
[0028] A flexible card receiving device for a highway self-service device, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, it includes a fan frame 100, a storage frame 130 is fixed at a position of the lower surface of the fan frame 100 near one side edge, a vertical plate 120 is fixed at a top edge of the storage frame 130 near the front and rear surfaces, and a movable plate 110 is rotatably provided at a position of the lower surface of the fan frame 100 near the other side edge;
[0029] The upper surface of the moving plate 110 is fixed with an arc rack 112 near the left and right edges. A vertical plate 120 is rotatably provided in the fan frame 100. A gear ring 101 engaged with the arc rack 112 is fixed on the outer wall of the vertical plate 120. A card reader 140 is installed below the driving shaft 102 in the fan frame 100. A driven shaft 121 is rotatably provided between the two sets of vertical plates 120. An L plate 150 extending into the fan frame 100 is provided on one side of the driven shaft 121. The outer wall of the driven shaft 121 is wrapped around the driven shaft 121. Two sets of cloth strips 122 are wound around, and the free ends of the cloth strips 122 are fixed to the ends of the L-plate 150. The front and rear surfaces of the L-plate 150 are provided with second restraint columns 152 extending into the sash frame 100. The second restraint columns 152 and the L-plate 150 are fixed by springs. A straight groove 105 is provided at the position where the inner wall of the sash frame 100 contacts the first restraint column 151. A triangular groove 106 connected to the straight groove 105 is provided below the straight groove 105. A triangular plate 107 is fixed at the right end of the triangular groove 106.
[0030] A motor 103 is installed on the outer wall of the front end of the fan frame 100, and the output end of the motor 103 is connected to the end of the driving shaft 102 through a coupling; one end of the driving shaft 102 extends out of the fan frame 100, and one end of the driven shaft 121 extends out of the vertical plate 120. The outer walls of the driving shaft 102 and the driven shaft 121 are sleeved with a conveyor belt, and a pulley is provided at the contact position between the outer walls of the driving shaft 102 and the driven shaft 121 and the conveyor belt;
[0031] The front and rear surfaces of the L-plate 150 are provided with a first restraining column 151 extending into the vertical plate 120 . A return spring 123 is provided at the contact position between the inner wall of the vertical plate 120 and the first restraining column 151 . A travel groove 124 in contact with the first restraining column 151 is fixed in the return spring 123 .
[0032] When the camera at the toll booth detects that the driver places the communication card on the upper surface of the moving plate 110, the remote terminal controls the motor 103 to work, and its output end drives the driving shaft 102 to rotate, and the gear ring 101 on the outer wall rotates synchronously, and the arc rack 112 drives the moving plate 110 to rotate around the contact point until the moving plate 110 fits with the fan frame 100. The impact force generated during the fitting causes the pass card to fall to the upper surface of the card reader 140, and then the amount of toll that the driver needs to pay is identified, and the payment code 114 and the code scanning device 115 on the surface of the moving plate 110 are displayed (such as Figure 1 Display), the driver can pay the amount through the mobile phone, and then can drive through the toll station;
[0033] When the driving shaft 102 rotates, the driven shaft 121 is driven to rotate synchronously through the conveyor belt. The driven shaft 121 rotates the retracted cloth strip 122 to pull the L plate 150 to move to the left, and the first constraint column 151 moves along the travel groove 124. At the same time, the second constraint column 152 moves along the straight groove 105, so that the L plate 150 moves in a straight line and pushes the pass card on the upper surface of the card reader 140 to slide until it falls into the storage frame 130. When resetting, the first constraint column 151 is pushed to move in the travel groove 124 by the reset spring 123, and the second constraint column 152 slides along the triangular groove 106 and transitions through the triangular plate 107 to enter the straight groove 105 again, so as to avoid pushing the pass card on the card reader 140 when the L plate 150 is reset. The L plate 150 rotates around the axis of the first constraint column 151, so that the right end of the L plate 150 tilts and returns to the horizontal state, so that the pass card can be continuously pushed to the left until it falls into the storage frame 130, and the pass card is finally recovered.
[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 A payment code 114 is provided on one side of the outer surface of the moving plate 110 , and a code scanning device 115 is provided on one side of the payment code 114 .
[0035] When the movable plate 110 rotates to flip the pass card onto the card reader 140, the movable plate 110 is in an upright state, and the payment code 114 and the code scanning device 115 on its surface are displayed, which can facilitate the driver to pay the fee. The payment code 114 and the code scanning device 115 can be hidden to reduce sunlight exposure, thereby achieving a certain protection purpose.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The curved outer wall of the fan frame 100 is provided with a through notch 104 , the inner wall below the notch 104 is flush with the height of the card reader 140 , and notches are provided at two corners of the card reader 140 near the vertical plate 120 .
[0037] This prevents the pass card from being blocked when sliding from the upper surface of the card reader 140 , ensuring that it enters the storage frame 130 smoothly.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 A restraining strip 113 is fixed on the upper surface of the fan frame 100 between the two sets of arc racks 112 , and a fan-shaped cloth 111 fixed to the fan frame 100 is provided on the outer wall of the arc rack 112 .
[0039] The restraint bar 113 serves to block the inserted pass card, ensuring that it can be turned over to the upper surface of the card reader 140 along with the movable plate 110, while the fan-shaped cloths 111 on both sides restrain the two sides to prevent them from falling.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 3 The outer wall of the card reader 140 is wrapped with rubber material. The card reader 140, the motor 103 and the code scanning device 115 are connected to the external power supply through a wire, and the size of the wire connecting the code scanning device 115 and the outside world can allow it to swing normally.
[0041] The rubber material wrapped around the outer wall provides elastic protection for the flipped pass card to avoid damage caused by rigid contact. At the same time, an external power source is used to provide power to the motor 103 to ensure that the moving plate 110 completes the rotation action, which makes it easier for the driver to pay.
[0042] When in use, when the camera located at the toll station detects that the driver places the communication card on the upper surface of the movable plate 110, the remote terminal controls the motor 103 to work, and its output end drives the driving shaft 102 to rotate, and the gear ring 101 on the outer wall rotates synchronously, and the arc rack 112 drives the movable plate 110 to rotate around the contact point until the movable plate 110 fits with the fan frame 100. The impact force generated during the fitting causes the pass card to fall to the upper surface of the card reader 140, and then the amount of toll that the driver needs to pay is identified, and the payment code 114 and the code scanning device 115 on the surface of the movable plate 110 are displayed (such as Figure 1 Display), the driver can pay the amount through the mobile phone, and then can drive through the toll station;
[0043] The driving shaft 102 rotates while driving the driven shaft 121 to rotate synchronously through the conveyor belt. The driven shaft 121 rotates the retracting cloth strip 122 to pull the L plate 150 to the left, and the first restraining column 151 moves along the travel groove 124. At the same time, the second restraining column 152 moves along the straight groove 105, so that the L plate 150 moves in a straight line and pushes the pass card on the upper surface of the card reader 140 to slide until it falls into the storage frame 130. When resetting, the first restraining column 151 is pushed to move in the travel groove 124 by the reset spring 123. The second constraint column 152 slides along the triangular groove 106 and transitions through the triangular plate 107 to enter the straight groove 105 again, so as to prevent the L plate 150 from pushing the pass card on the card reader 140 when resetting, and the L plate 150 rotates around the axis of the first constraint column 151, so that the right end of the L plate 150 tilts and restores to a horizontal state, thereby continuously pushing the pass card to the left until it falls into the storage frame 130, and finally completing the recovery of the pass card. The parts not involved in the device are the same as the prior art or can be implemented by the prior art.
[0044] Although an embodiment of the utility model has been shown and described, this specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the utility model and is not a limitation of the utility model. The specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions and variations to the embodiments without creative contributions as needed without departing from the principles and purpose of the utility model. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the utility model, they are protected by patent law.
