[0025] The present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by orientation words such as "upper, lower" and "top, bottom" is usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description. Without contrary instructions, these orientation words do not indicate and imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, so they should not be construed as limiting the protection scope of the present utility model; the orientation words "inside, outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the contour of each component itself.

[0026] As Figure 1-8 shown, an in-vehicle sun visor with a plug-in ETC includes a skeleton body, the skeleton body includes an upper skeleton 1 and a lower skeleton 2 which are snap-connected, a sun visor control circuit board is fixedly installed inside the skeleton body, an ETC device 3 is fixed inside the skeleton body, and a relief opening is provided in the skeleton body opposite to the ETC device;

[0027] The ETC device includes a housing 11 and a housing cover 12. The housing is fixedly installed on the lower skeleton. The housing is U-shaped. The housing is fixedly connected to the housing cover. An installation channel is formed between the housing and the housing cover. An ETC card mounting seat 13 is installed in the installation channel through a push switch structure. An ETC card 14 is installed in the ETC card mounting seat; an installation groove 15 is recessed in the housing cover opposite to the housing. An ETC control circuit board (not shown) is fixed in the installation groove. The ETC control circuit board is electrically connected to the sun visor control circuit board. A support 16 is fixedly installed on the housing cover. A contact piece 17 electrically connected to the ETC control circuit board is fixed on the support. The contact piece contacts the chip of the ETC card.

[0028] In this way, integrating the ETC device into the visor body can prevent the ETC device from being adhered to the front windshield, avoid obstructing the driver's line of sight, and better ensure driving safety. A relief opening is provided to facilitate the ETC card mount to pop out under the action of the push switch structure, making it convenient to insert and remove the ETC card. The ETC control circuit board is connected to the visor control circuit to supply power to the ETC control circuit board. The contact piece contacts the chip of the ETC card to facilitate information reading.

[0029] During implementation, the ETC card mount is provided with a slot, and the ETC card is inserted and matched with the slot. The lower end of the slot is closed, and a relief area corresponding to the chip of the ETC card is provided in the slot; a relief opening is provided at the upper end of the ETC card mount. This facilitates the placement of the ETC card and at the same time avoids affecting the contact between the chip and the contact piece.

[0030] During implementation, the push switch structure includes two guide rods 21 fixed to the ETC card mount. A guide sleeve 22 slidably matched with the guide rods is fixed on the housing. A compression spring 23 is sleeved on the guide rods, and the compression spring is located between the ETC mount and the guide sleeve; the push switch structure includes a hinge shaft 24. One end of the hinge shaft is rotatably connected to the housing, and a roller is rotated at the other end of the hinge shaft; a track groove is provided on the ETC card mount, and the roller is in rolling cooperation with the track groove;

[0031] The track groove includes a locking track section 25 and a pop-up track section 26. The locking track section is in an M shape, and the pop-up track section is in a V shape. The two ends of the locking track section are connected to the two ends of the pop-up track section;

[0032] The two sides of the bending part of the locking track section facing the pop-up track section have different angles.

[0033] In this way, when the roller is at the bending part of the locking track section facing the pop-up track section, the ETC card mount is located in the channel. When it is necessary to take out the ETC card mount, press the ETC card mount inward. The compression spring is compressed, and at the same time the hinge shaft swings. The roller slides along the locking track section to the pop-up track section, and the compression spring is released, pushing the ETC card mount outward. Then pull out the ETC card mount outward. Through the arrangement of the guide rods and the guide sleeve, support and guidance are provided for the ETC card mount.

[0034] The two sides of the bending part of the locking track section facing the pop-up track section have different angles. When pressing the ETC card mount, the roller rolls along the locking track section. Due to the different angles, the roller can always roll in the direction with a gentler slope. Then it resets from the other side. Since the bending part of the locking track section facing the pop-up track section is in a V shape, when the ETC card mount is not pressed, the roller can be located at the end of the bending part of the locking track section facing the pop-up track section, improving the installation stability.

[0035] During implementation, a notch 31 is provided on the housing. This facilitates pulling out the ETC card mount outward after it pops out, making it convenient to insert and remove the ETC card.

[0036] During implementation, the housing and the housing cover are fixedly connected by screws. This facilitates the connection.

[0037] During implementation, a limiting block 32 is fixed to the end of the guide rod away from the ETC mount. This prevents the ETC card mount from detaching from the housing.

[0038] Specifically, the ETC control circuit board integrates an ETC antenna, a communication module, a controller, etc., which is an existing structure. Integrating the ETC device into the visor body facilitates installation and use.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present utility model fall within the scope of the claims of the present utility model and their equivalents, the present utility model is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
