Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of self-service toll collection equipment for expressways, in particular to unattended equipment. Background Art

[0002] At present, after the cancellation of provincial highway toll stations, the national highways have entered a new stage of "one network operation, integrated service". Through the application of technologies such as ETC non-stop toll collection, mobile payment, and license plate recognition, highway operation and toll services are gradually developing towards unmanned and intelligent directions.

[0003] In addition to ETC lanes, highways generally also have manual service lanes. For car owners who have not installed ETC, they are required to pick up a toll card in the manual management lane before entering the highway. If the car owner wants to get the card from the staff, he may need to get out of the car or lean out of the window. The card retrieval efficiency is low and unsafe. In order to improve the efficiency of card retrieval, avoid car owners waiting in line at toll stations, and further reduce labor costs, automatic card issuing equipment is needed to replace the original staff to help drivers complete the card retrieval work.

[0036] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be noted that, under the premise of no conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form a new embodiment.

[0037] Please combine Figure 1 - Figure 5 , an unattended device of this embodiment, the unattended device referred to in this embodiment is mainly used at highway toll stations to provide toll cards for car owners who have not yet installed ETC.

[0038] Specifically: the unattended equipment includes an outer shell 1, on one side of which is fixedly connected a transverse mounting frame 2, firstly, a swing arm is rotatably mounted on one end of the transverse mounting frame 2, and at the same time, a hydraulic telescopic rod 3 is rotatably mounted on the transverse mounting frame 2, and at the same time, one end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 3 is rotatably connected to the end of the swing arm, so when the hydraulic telescopic rod 3 is extended or shortened, it can drive the swing arm to rotate around the connecting axis between itself and the transverse mounting frame 2.

[0039] The main function of the rotating arm 4 is to deliver the toll card to a suitable position for the driver to take it. Therefore, a card holder 6 is connected to the other end of the rotating arm 4. Specifically:

[0040] The card holder 6 includes an outer clamping plate 61, a rotating bracket 62, a roller 63 and a clamping spring 64. First, there are two outer clamping plates 61, and the two outer clamping plates 61 are symmetrically installed. The middle area is the channel for the toll card. A rotating bracket 62 is rotatably installed inside the outer clamping plate 61, and rollers 63 are rotatably connected at both ends of the rotating bracket 62. At the same time, a clamping spring 64 is arranged between the outer clamping plate 61 and the rotating bracket 62, that is, one end of the clamping spring 64 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer clamping plate 61, and the other end is connected to the rotating bracket 62. Therefore, with the cooperation of the clamping spring 64, the rotating bracket 62 and the roller 63 inside the upper and lower outer clamping plates 61 are close to each other, and the rollers 63 on the upper and lower rotating brackets 62 fit each other.

[0041] In addition, because the traffic volume on the highway is large every day, a large number of toll cards are needed. For convenience, a card box 7 for storing these toll cards is provided. A detachable cover (existing technology) is provided on the top of the card box 7. After opening the cover, the toll card can be placed. A card outlet 71 is provided at the bottom. When the cover is fixed, the toll card can only go out through the card outlet 71 at the bottom.

[0042] In order to install the card box 7, a mounting hole 8 is opened on one side of the outer shell 1. The mounting hole 8 is a through stepped hole as a whole, that is, a retaining edge 10 is provided at the edge. The function of the retaining edge 10 is to limit the card box 7 when installing the card box 7.

[0043] In addition, in order to facilitate card removal, the position of the bottom card outlet 71 of the card box 7 needs to correspond to the position of the card holder 6. In order for the card box 7 to be accurately installed, movable card plates 72 are fixedly connected on both sides of the card box 7, and a fixed card plate 11 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the mounting hole 8, wherein the movable card plate 72 is provided with a matching concave and convex maze structure on the side opposite to the fixed card plate 11. Therefore, when the fixed card plate 11 is fixed, it can ensure that the movable card plate 72 and the card box 7 can be accurately installed in the corresponding positions.

[0044] At the same time, a pressure cover 12 is provided on the side of the mounting hole 8 away from the card holder 6, and the pressure cover 12 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 1 by screws, and the inner side of the pressure cover 12 contacts the card box 7, pressing the card box 7 into the mounting hole 8. In summary, the movable clamping plates 72 on both sides of the card box 7 cooperate with the fixed clamping plates 11 to prevent it from moving up and down and left and right, and the baffle in the mounting hole 8 cooperates with the pressure cover 12 to prevent it from moving forward and backward. Therefore, the position of the card box 7 can be accurately installed.

[0045] In order to transfer the toll card in the card box 7 to the card holder 6 , a card dispenser 9 is arranged in the mounting hole 8 and at the bottom of the card box 7 .

[0046] Specifically, the card issuer 9 includes a belt conveyor 91 and a raised strip 92. First, the conveyor belt 91 is driven by a motor, and the raised strip 92 is fixedly installed on the conveyor belt 91. The raised strip 92 can be made of flexible materials such as rubber. The conveyor belt 91 is installed at the bottom of the card box 7. It is necessary to ensure that the conveyor belt 91 is in contact with the charging card at the bottom of the card box 7, so that when the conveyor belt 91 is running, it can drive the charging card at the bottom of the card box 7 to move out of the card outlet 71 through friction. In this process, multiple charging cards are stacked in the card box 7, that is, the charging card at the bottom will also be subject to the downward pressure of the upper card. If the friction alone is not enough to drive it to move out, the raised strip 92 can also play a role, that is, push the charging card from the side to move it out of the card box 7.

[0047] Since the card holder 6 is arranged to be moved out of the card outlet 71, when the charging card is moved out of the card box 7, it just enters the position between the two outer clamping plates 61 of the card holder 6, and when it contacts the roller 63, it will squeeze the roller 63 to both sides. During this process, the rotating bracket 62 rotates and the clamping spring 64 is compressed.

[0048] When the toll card enters the card holder 6, the clamping spring 64 and the rotating bracket 62 cooperate to drive the roller 63 to clamp the toll card.

[0049] It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the card holder 6 can be moved to the designated position to facilitate the clamping of the toll card, the rotation angle of the rotating arm 4 here cannot be too large (the rotating arm 4 can only be rotated to a vertical state at most), so the limit plate 5 needs to be fixedly connected to the horizontal mounting frame 2. Figure 2 In the state shown, the card holder 6 is blocked by the limiting plate 5 and cannot continue to rotate, so it can also be ensured that when the rotating arm 4 stops rotating, the card holder 6 can be just located at the card outlet 71 of the card box 7.

[0050] The implementation process and principle of an unattended device in the embodiment of the present application are as follows:

[0051] (I): First, place the toll card in the card box 7, and install the card box 7 in the mounting hole 8 through the corresponding concave and convex parts between the movable card plate 72 and the fixed card plate 11. At the same time, fix the pressure cover 12 on the mounting hole 8 by screws. The pressure cover 12 contacts the card box 7 and presses the card box 7 tightly into the mounting hole 8 to ensure that the conveyor belt 91 contacts the bottom toll card in the card box 7.

[0052] (ii): The conveyor belt 91 is driven by a motor. Since the conveyor belt 91 contacts the toll card at the bottom of the card box 7, the toll card can be moved out of the card box 7 through friction. At the same time, a raised strip 92 is also provided on the conveyor belt 91. The raised strip 92 can also push the toll card out of the card box 7, so that the toll card enters the card holder 6.

[0053] (III): Drive the hydraulic telescopic rod 3 to shorten. Since the hydraulic telescopic rod 3 is rotationally connected to the horizontal mounting frame 2, when it shortens, the swing arm will drive the card holder 6 to rotate around the connecting axis between itself and the horizontal mounting frame 2. The swing arm gradually rotates from a vertical state to a horizontal state. Therefore, the swing arm and the card holder 6 transfer the toll card to the window on the side of the motor vehicle, making it convenient for the car owner to quickly pick up the card. First of all, unmanned self-service card retrieval is realized, the card retrieval efficiency is improved, the waiting time for card retrieval is reduced, and the labor cost is reduced. At the same time, the car owner does not need to get off the car or move his body out of the window when taking the card, thereby ensuring safety.

[0054] The above-mentioned implementation modes are only preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by technicians in this field on the basis of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
