Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of toll collection equipment, and specifically relates to a card recycling device for a card-injection type toll payment machine. Background Art
[0002] The card-injection type toll payment machine at highway toll stations is an automatic toll collection device, which is used to receive the passing cards of drivers, identify the cards and then perform deduction processing. The card-injection machine is usually provided with a card-injection port. The driver needs to put the card into it, and then the data recognition area reads and identifies the card data and performs corresponding deductions.
[0003] However, after the driver stops at the highway toll station, there is a certain distance between the driver's seat and the card-injection port of the card-injection machine, making it difficult for the driver to accurately put the card into the card-injection port.

In addition, if "and / or" or "and / or" appears throughout the text, its meaning includes three parallel solutions. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes solution A, solution B, or a solution where A and B are satisfied simultaneously. In addition, the technical solutions between various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that those of ordinary skill in the art can implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the protection scope required by the present utility model.
[0039] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, a card recycling device for a card - inserting payment machine provided by an embodiment of the present utility model includes a support plate 1, a card - inserting box 2, a moving assembly 3, a conveying assembly 4, a card reader 5, a card - dropping door assembly 6, and a control terminal (not shown in the figure). Both sides of the card - inserting box 2 are fixedly connected to one end of the moving assembly 3, the other end of the moving assembly 3 is fixedly connected above the support plate 1, a conveying assembly 4 is arranged inside the card - inserting box 2, a card reader 5 is arranged above the card - inserting box 2, the control terminal is electrically connected to the moving assembly 3, the conveying assembly 4, and the card reader 5, and a card - dropping door assembly 6 is arranged at the rear end of the card - inserting box 2.
[0040] As Figures 4 - 7 shown, the moving assembly 3 includes two slide - rail mechanisms one 31. The slide - rail mechanism one 31 is a linear slide - rail. The sliders of the two slide - rail mechanisms one 31 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the card - inserting box 2, and the slide - rails of the two slide - rail mechanisms one 31 are respectively fixedly installed at both ends of the support plate 1; in other embodiments, the slide - rail mechanism one 31 can also be provided with other slide - rails such as track pulleys, ball slide - rails, linear motor slide - rails, etc.
[0041] One end of the bottom of the card - inserting box 2 is provided with a rack 35, a gear 33 meshing with the rack 35 is arranged above the support plate 1, a driving motor 34 corresponding to the gear 33 is arranged below the support plate 1, the driving motor 34 is electrically connected to the control terminal, and buffer pads 32 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the rack 35. The buffer pads 32 are fixedly installed on the support plate 1. When the buffer pads 32 cooperate with the rack 35, they play a buffering role, which helps to ensure the stable docking of the card - inserting box 2.
[0042] At one end of the support plate 1 away from the gear 33, there are two sensors 37. The two sensors 37 are arranged in parallel along the moving direction of the slide rail mechanism 31. On the card insertion box 2, there is an induction rod 36 corresponding to the sensor 37.
[0043] As Figure 16 、 17 shown, when the driver needs to insert a card, the control terminal will start the driving motor 34 to drive the gear 33 to rotate forward. The movement of the gear 33 will drive the rack 35 to move forward, thereby pushing the card insertion box 2 to slide outwards and extend; the extension of the card insertion box 2 drives the induction rod 36 to move forward. When the card insertion box 2 extends to a certain distance, the front sensor 37 detects the existence of the induction rod 36 and sends a signal to the control terminal. After receiving the signal from the sensor 37, the control terminal will turn off the driving motor 34; the extension of the card insertion box 2 shortens the distance between the driver and the card insertion box 2, so that the driver can more accurately insert the card into the card insertion box 2.
[0044] As Figure 1 、 2 shown, after the card is inserted into the card insertion box 2, the control terminal will start the driving motor 34 again to make the gear 33 rotate in the reverse direction. The movement of the gear 33 will drive the rack 35 to move backward, so that the card insertion box 2 slides inwards and retracts. At the same time, the conveying component 4 transports the card under the card reader 5 for data reading and sends the data to the control terminal for the driver to complete the payment. The retraction of the card insertion box 2 drives the induction rod 36 to move backward. When the card insertion box retracts to a certain position, the rear sensor 37 detects the existence of the induction rod 36 and sends a signal to the control terminal. After receiving the signal from the sensor 37, the control terminal will turn off the driving motor 34.
[0045] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 、 5 、6、8 - 11 shown, the card dropping door assembly 6 includes a moving door 61. The moving door 61 is fixedly installed at the top of the sliding bracket 62. At the rear end of the card insertion box 2, there is a card dropping opening 63 matching the moving door 61; at both ends of the card dropping opening 63, there is a slide rail mechanism two 64. The slide rail mechanism two 64 facilitates the movement of the moving door 61. The slide rail mechanism two 64 is a linear slide rail. The slide rails of the two slide rail mechanisms two 64 are fixedly installed on the card insertion box 2, and the sliders of the two slide rail mechanisms two 64 are fixedly installed on the sliding bracket 62; on both sides of the bottom end of the sliding bracket 62, there are two pulleys 66 symmetrically arranged. On the support plate 1, there are two tracks 65 cooperating with the two pulleys 66. At one end of each of the two tracks 65, there is a convex portion 651;
[0046] As Figure 17As shown in the figure, when the card insertion box 2 moves forward and extends, the sliding bracket 62 moves accordingly, causing the pulley 66 to slip off the convex portion 651 of the track 65, and then the moving door 61 moves downward to block the card dropping opening 63. After the driver inserts the card, the card insertion box 2 moves inward and retracts, and at the same time, the conveying assembly 4 drives the card inside the card insertion box 2 to move. Since the moving door 61 blocks the card dropping opening 63 at this time, the card is temporarily retained in the card insertion box 2, extending the time for the card reader 5 to read the card data information, improving the success rate of card data reading, and ensuring the smooth completion of the deduction. When the card insertion box 2 moves inward a certain distance, the pulley 66 continues to slide and climbs onto the convex portion 651 of the track 65, causing the moving door 61 to move upward and open the card dropping opening 63. At the same time, the conveying assembly 4 drives the card to be discharged from the card dropping opening 63 out of the card insertion box 2 for centralized collection.
[0047] In this embodiment, as Figures 8 - 14 shown, the conveying assembly 4 is sequentially provided with a card insertion area 41 and a card reading area 42 along the transportation direction. The conveying assembly 4 is a belt conveyor, and the rotation of the track can convey the card from the card insertion area 41 to the card reading area 42. The card reading area 42 corresponds to the card reader 5, and the area of the card insertion area 41 is larger than that of the card reading area 42 for convenient card insertion. In other embodiments, the conveying assembly 4 can also be provided with other conveyors such as a vibrating conveyor or a pneumatic conveyor.
[0048] As Figure 8 shown, the conveying assembly 4 is provided with two guiding plates 43 that are relatively inclined. The guiding plates 43 are used to abut against the card to guide the card from the card insertion area 41 to the card reading area 42. When the conveying assembly 4 operates, the guiding plates 43 can limit the moving direction of the card by abutting, so that the card enters the card reading area 42 along the extension direction of the guiding plates 43, thereby improving the accuracy of the card reader to read the card data and further ensuring the success rate of card information data reading.
[0049] As Figure 4 shown, the front end face of the card insertion box (2) is provided with an ETC card swiping area (21).
[0050] As Figure 5 、 6 、12, 13 shown, the bottom of the card insertion box 2 is inclined downward from the rear end to the front end, so that the moisture inside the card insertion box 2 flows forward. A drainage slit 22 is provided at the abutting portion between the front end face and the bottom of the card insertion box 2, so that the moisture accumulated at the front end of the card insertion box 2 flows outwards.
[0051] In this embodiment, as Figure 14 、 15As shown in the figure, it further includes a card insertion door 7. The bottom end inside the card insertion door 7 is matched with the card insertion box 2, and the card insertion box 2 can telescopically move inside the card insertion door 7. A card blocking plate 71 is provided behind the card insertion door 7. The card blocking plate 71 is inserted into the card insertion box 2, and the card blocking plate 71 has a clearance fit with the conveying assembly 4. The card blocking plate 71 can block the cards from being inserted into the device and also enable the inserted cards to accurately fall onto the conveying assembly 4. A barcode scanner 72 is provided at the top end of the card blocking plate 71 for convenient payment.
[0052] In this embodiment, an outwardly inclined ramp surface 74 is provided on the upper end surface of the bottom frame of the card insertion door 7. A waterproof strip 73 that abuts against the bottom of the card insertion box 2 is provided at the top of the ramp surface 74. The waterproof strip 73 is located behind the drainage slot 22. Since the surface where the card insertion door 7 abuts against the bottom of the card insertion box 2 is provided with an outwardly inclined ramp surface 74, the drainage slot 22 is completely exposed. This design enables the waterproof strip 73 to effectively prevent the moisture flowing out of the card insertion box 2 from entering the device through the drainage slot 22, thereby preventing water from entering the device, improving the safety of the device, and extending its service life.
[0053] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments.
