Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of display screens, and in particular to a folding display screen for ETC. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of intelligent transportation systems, the Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) system has become one of the main ways of highway toll collection, greatly improving road traffic efficiency and reducing traffic congestion.
[0003] In the current context of the widespread application of electronic toll collection systems on highways, traditional fixed ETC displays have gradually revealed some limitations and shortcomings due to their non-foldable nature. Although these displays have played an important role in simplifying the toll collection process and accelerating vehicle traffic, their design and functions can no longer fully meet the growing needs of modern intelligent transportation systems.
[0004] First, fixed display screens tend to take up a lot of space due to their large size and fixed shape, which is a big challenge for toll station design, especially in areas with limited space or compact layout. They not only affect the overall aesthetics of the toll station, but may also limit the layout and optimization of other facilities.
[0005] Secondly, the non-folding structure limits the flexibility of information display. In practical applications, in addition to displaying basic information such as toll amount and account balance, the ETC system should also be able to display more dynamic information as needed, such as real-time road conditions and weather warnings. The fixed screen size is fixed, making it difficult to effectively integrate multiple information on the same interface, reducing the efficiency and richness of information transmission.
[0006] Furthermore, fixed display screens are prone to poor viewing angles when faced with differences in vehicle models and window heights, making it difficult for drivers to read, and even requiring them to stop the car to adjust the angle for viewing. This, to a certain extent, goes against the original intention of the ETC system for fast passage.
[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model designs a folding display screen for ETC. Utility Model Content
[0008] The utility model provides a folding display screen for ETC, aiming to solve the problem that the existing ETC screen is fixed and occupies a large space and cannot adjust the angle. The technical solution is as follows:

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a folding display screen for ETC is characterized in that: it includes; an upper mounted side frame 1, a lower mounted side frame 2, a middle mounted upper frame 3, a middle mounted lower frame 4, a support upper rod 5, a support lower rod 6 and a display block 8; the upper mounted side frame 1 and the lower mounted side frame 2 are rotatably connected, the middle mounted upper frame 3 and the middle mounted lower frame 4 are rotatably connected, the support upper rod 5 is installed on the upper mounted side frame 1 and the middle mounted upper frame 3, the support lower rod 6 is installed on the lower mounted side frame 2 and the middle mounted lower frame 4, the upper mounted side frame 1, the lower mounted side frame 2, the middle mounted upper frame 3, and the middle mounted lower frame 4 are all installed with a power supply control block 7, and the display block 8 is detachably installed on the upper mounted side frame 1 and the lower mounted side frame 2.
[0034] The intermediate mounting frame 3 is mounted with a bracket 91, and a screw hole is provided on the bracket 91. The bracket 91 is fixed to the intermediate mounting frame 3 with screws, and the top of the bracket 91 is fixed to the installation site with screws. The specific method can be selected according to the actual installation site.
[0035] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the display assembly block 8 includes a display light board 81 and an end cover 82, and the end cover 82 is installed at both ends of the display light board 81. The end cover 82 facilitates the disassembly of the display light board 81 on the upper mounting side frame 1 and the lower mounting side frame 2.
[0036] The number of the display light panels 81 is greater than 2.
[0037] The display light board 81 is an LED light bar screen, and the LED light bar screen includes an LED light bar and a PCB board.
[0038] like Figure 6As shown, a slot 821 is provided on the end cover 82. The slot 821 is used to fix the LED light bar.
[0039] like Figure 7 As shown, a protective strip 83 is provided on the LED light bar. The protective strip 83 is installed on the back of the LED light bar. The protective strip 83 can block the stray light behind the screen and reduce the interference of ambient light on the display effect, thereby improving the contrast and color saturation of the picture and ensuring that the displayed content is more vivid and clear. The protective strip 83 can enhance the overall structural strength of the LED light bar screen, help improve the stability and durability of the panel, and reduce damage caused by external impact or vibration.
[0040] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the power supply control block 7 includes a housing 71 , a power supply 73 and a control board 74 . The power supply 73 and the control board 74 are arranged in the housing 71 , and a USB interface 72 is provided on the housing 71 .
[0041] The upper mounting side frame 1, the lower mounting side frame 2, the middle mounting upper frame 3 and the middle mounting lower frame 4 are all made of cold-rolled plates. The cold-rolled plates have very high dimensional accuracy and surface finish, which helps to ensure that the various components of the folding screen side frame are accurately docked, the gap is small after assembly, the appearance is more neat and beautiful, and at the same time, the sealing of the display screen is ensured, which is conducive to dust and water resistance.
[0042] The upper mounting side frame 1 is provided with a side bracket 92. The bracket 91 and the side bracket 92 ensure that the folding display screen is stably fixed or suspended at the installation site.
[0043] This display screen is composed of multiple modules. Each module is assembled in a detachable way. Each set of screens consists of an upper vertical screen and a folding screen, both of which are 480mm high and 2240mm wide.
[0044] The upper vertical screen is composed of an upper mounting side frame 1 , a middle mounting upper frame 3 and a display assembly block 8 .
[0045] The folding screen is composed of a lower mounting side frame 2, a middle mounting lower frame 4 and a display assembly block 8.
[0046] The upper vertical screen is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and the folding angle of the folding screen is adjustable from 0° to 30°; it is adjusted by manual support rods. The allowable error of the spacing between each pixel in the display module is 1mm, and the unevenness is ≤2mm / m 2 .
[0047] This display screen receives information released by the monitoring and management computer and can display Chinese, English, numbers and icons, etc. Its control unit can store at least 100 pieces of information, which can be called up by the operator at any time, and the operator can perform full-screen editing, status detection and control on the monitoring and management computer.
[0048] The display module 8 adopts a modular design. The modular design allows the display modules to be freely combined according to actual needs. Whether it is to increase the display area, change the display ratio or upgrade the display effect, it can be adjusted quickly without replacing the entire display. This flexibility provides the toll station with the possibility of on-demand customization, while also simplifying the future system upgrade path and reducing maintenance costs. The modular structure allows individual display modules to be disassembled and replaced independently. When a module fails, maintenance personnel can directly locate and replace the faulty module without disassembling the entire display, greatly shortening the maintenance time and improving the reliability and availability of the system.
[0049] The present invention is described above by way of examples, but the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments, and any changes or modifications based on the present invention belong to the scope of protection required by the present invention.
