Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of highway equipment, in particular to an automatic issuing device for highway ETC equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the implementation of the national networking service of the highway electronic toll collection system (ETC), the number of ETC users has increased rapidly. As of the end of February 2024, the total number of ETC customers across the country has reached 222 million, and the ETC holdings in Fujian Province have reached 6.03 million. At the same time, in the "Draft of the Optimization and Upgrade Project Plan for the Highway Network Toll Collection System" issued by the Road Network Monitoring and Emergency Response Center of the Ministry of Transport in May 2022, it is clearly stated that "improve the level of customer service", requiring standardizing customer service work and strengthening customer services such as ETC issuance and after-sales.

[0003] With the continuous increase in the ETC user group, traditional ETC customer service outlets and bank agency outlets can no longer meet the growing user scale and user needs, and the online customer service model does not support all after-sales functions. In recent years, some terminal devices for ETC self-service and handling have emerged in the market. Although they can realize some functions of ETC after-sales service, there are still obvious shortcomings for the most complex ETC handling business.

[0004] The existing ETC self-service terminal issuing equipment has the following disadvantages: 1. The ETC card and OBU are shipped separately and then bound through procedures. The equipment must be shipped in sequential increment to ensure one-to-one correspondence between the card and the label, resulting in high equipment maintenance difficulty; 2. If the card-label matching is incorrect, it will affect the subsequent equipment issuing business, with a low fault tolerance rate. At the same time, it will also increase management risks and affect the efficiency of customer service work; 3. The operation lacks a fault detection mechanism and cannot locate problems in time to ensure the continuous and reliable operation of the equipment, increasing the operation and maintenance labor cost.

[0046] The specific structure of the present utility model will be described in detail below:

[0047] As Figure 1 shown, the automatic issuing device of the ETC device of the present utility model includes a storage bin, an operation module, and a moving guide rail. The storage bin is installed on one side inside the ETC device issuing module. The moving guide rail is distributed in an L shape on one side of the storage bin, jointly constituting the main body of the issuing module. The operation module is installed on the guide rail, as Figure 1 shown.

[0048] Operating principle: The ETC card and the OBU are loaded together into a packaging box with an opening at the top. The OBU switch is placed at the hole position, and then they are orderly placed into the storage bin. When receiving the issuing instruction, the operation module starts to move along the X-axis of the moving guide rail from the starting position to the position where the storage bin is ready to ship. The storage bin uses a conveyor belt to push the ETC device into the operation module, and the operation module performs a pressing operation to turn on the OBU anti-tampering switch. The programmer performs 5.8 GHz microwave operation on the OBU and 13.56 MHz frequency non-contact card reading and writing operation on the ETC card. After the ETC device is read and written, the operation module moves along the X-axis of the moving guide rail to the intersection of the X-axis and the Z-axis, and then moves along the Z-axis to send the device to the shipping port position for waiting to be picked up. If the programmer operation fails, the operation module moves along the X-axis of the moving guide rail to the recycling bin position to realize the recycling of the ETC device. The ETC device packaging box is as Figure 2 shown.

[0049] The storage bin is made of galvanized steel plate, and a single-side bin design is adopted. The internal space is evenly partitioned by steel plates to form 5 independent ETC device lanes. Each lane 31 can load 20 device boxes, as Figure 3 shown. The storage bin is equipped with a controller 32, which is used to control the drive module motor 33 at the bottom of each lane 31, and at the same time receive the signal fed back by the inventory sensor 49, and sequentially select the first lane 31 with goods. By rotating the motor one circle, the ETC device box on the push plate conveyor belt is driven into the operation module. The device box in the lane 31 automatically drops to fill the original position. The drive module is equipped with a limit sensor, which rotates one circle when receiving one issuing instruction from the controller 32 to ensure the accuracy of the ETC device transmission.

[0050] As Figure 4As shown in the figure, the operation module consists of a pressing mechanism, a programmer, a pushing plate, and a position sensor. The pressing mechanism is located at the top of the entire operation module. The pushing plate for delivering and the pushing plate for recycling are installed on both sides in the middle of the module, with an included angle of 90 degrees between them. The programmer is integrated at the bottom of the module. The operation module moves to the specified cargo lane 31 according to the coordinate information provided by the position sensor to receive the box containing the ETC device. The pressing mechanism descends to hold the upper end of the box, triggers the OBU anti-tampering switch through the opening on the upper cover of the box, and makes it in a readable and writable state. The programmer performs 5.8 GHz microwave operation on the OBU, reads the OBU information and writes data according to the software instructions. At the same time, it performs non-contact operation on the ETC card at a frequency of 13.56 MHz, reads the card number and binds it. After completing the reading and writing operations, the pressing mechanism rises to release the ETC device box. The operation module moves to the shipping position according to the position sensor signal. The stepping motor of the pushing plate screw rotates to drive the pushing plate for delivering to push the ETC device box to translate until the box is completely removed. The limit sensor installed on the running route triggers the pushing plate to reset, and the operation module moves to the initial position to wait for the next issuing instruction. If the reading and writing operation fails, the operation module moves to the recycling position according to the coordinate information. The stepping motor of the screw rotates to drive the pushing plate for recycling to push the ETC device box to translate until the box drops into the recycling bin. The limit sensor resets the pushing plate, and then the operation module moves to the initial position to wait for the next issuing instruction.

[0051] As Figure 5 shown, for the power part of the pressing mechanism, a screw-type telescopic stepping motor is selected, with a controllable telescopic length of 0 - 24 mm, meeting the requirements of various scenarios; a buffer spring with appropriate elasticity is selected between the pressing slider and the motor for flexible connection, with a buffer length of 0 - 10 mm, to avoid excessive pressing force from damaging the ETC device. At the same time, the pressing slider is equipped with a slider guiding structure to ensure accurate pressing position.

[0052] The motion guide rail consists of two directions, the X-axis and the Z-axis, and has an L-shaped structure, as Figure 6 shown. The stepping motor of the X-axis drives the operation module to reciprocate along the X-axis on the linear slide rail, and the real-time position is collected by the optical sensor preset on the rail; when moving in the Z-axis direction, the stepping motor of the Z-axis rotates the screw linear slide table to make the operation module reach any specified position within the stroke range of the Z-axis from the X-axis.

[0053] The overall structure of the present utility model is as Figure 7 shown. Through the collaborative operation of components such as the storage bin, the operation module, the motion guide rail, and various sensors, and in cooperation with the specially designed packaging box, the processes of loading, issuing, shipping, and recycling of the ETC device are simplified, realizing the automation of the issuing business and providing a hardware basis for the self-service application of ETC.

[0054] This device realizes the transfer of new ETC devices from the storage bin to the operation module, where card and label reading and writing are performed, and then the devices are transferred to the shipping outlet for collection. If they are not collected after the timeout, they will be automatically sent to the recycling bin. At the same time, sensors are arranged at key nodes to monitor the operating status of each module and component in real time.

[0055] The utility model adopts the above technical solutions and has the following technical effects: (1) The ETC card and OBU can be arbitrarily combined and placed in the same packaging box without the requirement of the issuance order, with relatively high fault tolerance and simple device maintenance; (2) It reduces the difficulty of card and label management, eliminates the need to achieve a one-to-one correspondence between the two, reduces the burden of the issuance business, and improves the work efficiency of customer service; (3) The operating status of the device is automatically detected, which supports the positioning of faulty components, provides corresponding problem-solving measures, and optimizes the device operation and maintenance mode.

[0056] Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all of them. Without conflict, the embodiments and the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.
