Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ETC, in particular to an ETC lane prompter. Background Art

[0002] ETC, which means electronic toll collection in Chinese, is an automatic toll collection on highways or bridges. Through the dedicated short-range communication between the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle windshield and the microwave antenna on the ETC lane at the toll station, the computer networking technology is used to conduct back-end settlement processing with the bank, so that the vehicle can pay the highway or bridge fee without stopping at the highway or bridge toll station. The ETC lane reminder is an important part of the ETC system, mainly used to provide the driver with key information such as lane status and traffic instructions. The ETC lane reminder is usually installed on the toll canopy in the oncoming direction of the ETC lane so that the driver can clearly see the instruction information. Its appearance and shape are diverse, but generally have a high-brightness, wide-viewing angle display to ensure clear instructions under various light conditions.

[0003] Existing lane reminders are installed on a gantry set in front of the ETC lane for the convenience of drivers. When installing the lane reminders, they are basically fixed with clamps and clamp rings. When affected by external forces, they will tilt or fall, which has poor safety and is not easy to disassemble and assemble. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0027] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0028] Example:

[0029] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 An ETC lane prompter includes a gantry 1 and a mounting frame 11 fixedly connected to the gantry 1, and also includes: a display screen 2 movably mounted on the mounting frame 11, matching rods 21 are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting surface of the display screen 2, a mounting hole 14 is opened on the mounting frame 11, the matching rod 21 is slidably installed in the mounting hole 14, a threaded rod 44 is rotatably installed on the gantry 1, the matching rod 21 is meshed and installed with the threaded rod 44, a rotating shaft 41 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 44 on both sides, a sprocket 42 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 41, the sprockets 42 on both sides are connected by chains 43, a driving motor 4 is fixedly connected to the gantry 1, and a threaded rod 44 on one side is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 4.

[0030] When the threaded rod 44 on one side rotates, the threaded rod 44 on the other side will be driven to rotate synchronously through the chain 43. The rotation direction and speed of the threaded rods 44 on both sides are consistent, ensuring that the display screen 2 can move smoothly during the disassembly process, which is convenient for operators to install or disassemble and repair.

[0031] Reference Figure 4-Figure 6The display screen 2 is fixedly connected with an insertion rod 22, and a lock is arranged inside the mounting frame 11. When the display screen 2 is fitted with the mounting frame 11, the lock locks the insertion rod 22. The lock includes a slide bar 32, and a support spring 33 is fixedly connected to the slide bar 32. The free end of the support spring 33 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 11. A slider 34 is fixedly connected to the slide bar 32. A slide rail 23 is provided at the insertion end of the insertion rod 22. When the insertion rod 22 is inserted into the mounting frame 11, the slider 34 engages with the slide rail 23. The slide rail 23 on the insertion rod 22 engages with the slider 34, so that the insertion rod 22 can guide the slider 34 and the slide rod 32 to move along a specific path during the insertion process, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the structure. A second slide groove 13 is provided inside the mounting frame 11, and the slide rod 32 is slidably installed inside the second slide groove 13. A first slide groove is provided on the mounting frame 11 12, the insertion rod 22 is slidably installed in the first slide groove 12, the mounting frame 11 is connected to the first slide groove 12, the fitting surfaces of the insertion rod 22 and the sliding rod 32 are both inclined surfaces with the same angle and fit each other, when the insertion rod 22 and the sliding rod 32 are fully fitted together, the fitting ends are at a right angle, and a limiting groove 24 is provided on the insertion rod 22. When the insertion rod 22 slides to the inner end of the first slide groove 12, the sliding rod 32 slides inside the limiting groove 24, thereby further locking the insertion rod 22 and the display screen 2, and a connecting rod 31 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 32, and an adjusting groove 15 is provided on the mounting frame 11. The connecting rod 31 is slidably installed in the adjusting groove 15, and handles 3 are fixedly connected at both ends of the adjusting groove 15, so that the operator can easily adjust the position of the sliding rod 32 by manual operation, so that the sliding rod 32 is moved out of the limiting groove 24, and the display screen 2 is disassembled and repaired.

[0032] In the present invention, when installing the display screen 2, the operator first inserts the matching rod 21 on the display screen 2 into the mounting hole 14, so that the matching rod 21 fits with the threaded rod 44. At this time, the limiting groove 24 on the display screen 2 is also inserted into the first slide groove 12. Then the driving motor 4 is started, and the driving motor 4 drives the threaded rod 44 on one side to rotate through the output shaft. When the threaded rod 44 on one side rotates, the two threaded rods 44 rotate synchronously through the transmission of the chain 43. The matching rod 21 continues to slide in the mounting hole 14 as the threaded rod 44 rotates. When the matching rod 21 and the threaded rod 44 are fully engaged, the limiting groove 24 is also fully inserted into the first slide groove 12. When the limiting groove 24 enters the first slide groove 12, the sliding rod 32 inside the mounting frame 11 is engaged with the sliding rail through the slider 34. When the rod 22 is inserted into the first slide groove 12, the limit groove 24 on the rod 22 is just below the slide groove 32, and the slide groove 32 is elastically moved to the inside of the limit groove 24 by the support spring 33, so as to limit the movement of the rod 22 and the display screen 2 and prevent the display screen 2 from falling off accidentally after installation. When the display screen 2 is damaged or needs to be overhauled regularly, the operator pulls the connecting rod 31 on either side to move the slide rod 32 out of the limit groove 24, and then starts the drive motor 4 to drive the threaded rod 44 to flip, so as to complete the disassembly of the display screen 2, which is convenient for the overhaul of the display screen 2.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
