[0019] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0020] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the present invention provides an ETC self-service device, including a housing 1, a mounting base 2, a camera 3 and a cross frame 4. The camera 3 is fixedly installed on the housing 1. A connecting seat 401 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cross frame 4. The housing 1 is rotationally connected to the connecting seat 401 through a damping rotating shaft 102, so that the housing 1 can rotate and position along the connecting seat 401 with the damping rotating shaft 102, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the horizontal orientation of the camera 3. A transmitting antenna 101 is fixedly installed at the top of the housing 1. Two driving seats 5 are symmetrically and slidably connected to the cross frame 4. A motor 6 is fixedly installed at one end of the cross frame 4. A bidirectional screw shaft 601 is fixedly connected to the driving shaft part of the motor 6. The two driving seats 5 are respectively threadedly sleeved on the positive and negative threaded parts of the bidirectional screw shaft 601. A positioning connecting rod 7 is movably hinged between the bottom end of the mounting base 2 and the upper end of the driving seat 5. When the motor 6 drives the bidirectional screw shaft 601 to rotate, the driving seats 5 can move closer to or away from each other, and the positioning connecting rod 7 is used to drive the distance between the mounting base 2 and the driving seat 5 to change, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the height position of the housing 1 and the camera 3. An information processing module 8 is fixedly arranged inside the housing 1.
[0021] Among them, as Figure 2As shown in the figure, the information processing module 8 includes an information processor 801, a receiver 802, and an information storage 803. The output end of the camera 3 is electrically connected to the input end of the receiver 802. Through the camera 3, the vehicle passing by can be photographed and processed. The output end of the receiver 802 is electrically connected to the input end of the information processor 801. The receiver 802 transmits the photographed information to the information processor 801 for analysis and processing. The output end of the information processor 801 is electrically connected to the transmitting antenna 101 and the input end of the information storage 803. The information after analysis and processing is finally transmitted to the transmitting antenna 101 and the information storage 803. The transmitting antenna 101 is remotely connected to the background device for information transmission.
[0022] Among them, as Figure 2 shown, two heat dissipation openings 103 are symmetrically opened on the bottom surface of the housing 1. A dust-proof net 104 is fixedly installed in the heat dissipation openings 103 to prevent external dust and impurities from entering the interior of the housing 1 through the heat dissipation openings 103.
[0023] Among them, as Figure 2 shown, a bearing seat 402 is fixedly installed inside the cross frame 4. The bearing seat 402 is rotatably connected to the end of the bidirectional screw shaft 601, achieving the purpose of ensuring the rotational stability of the bidirectional screw shaft 601.
[0024] Among them, as Figure 2 shown, a wire passing opening 105 is opened on the side of the housing 1. The cross-sectional shape of the wire passing opening 105 is rectangular, achieving the purpose of facilitating the electrification and wiring of each device in the housing 1.
[0025] Among them, as Figure 4 shown, positioning screw holes 201 are opened on the surface of the mounting seat 2. The positioning screw holes 201 are spaced and distributed at the respective end corners of the surface of the mounting seat 2. By cooperating the positioning screw holes 201 with bolt fasteners, the mounting seat 2 can be installed and fixed on the mounting surface.
[0026] The working principle of the present utility model:
[0027] During use, according to the actual usage scenario requirements, when it is necessary to adjust the height positions of the housing 1 and the camera 3, the bidirectional screw shaft 601 is driven by the motor 6 to rotate forward, causing the transmission seats 5 to move closer to each other. The positioning link 7 is used to drive the distance between the mounting seat 2 and the transmission seats 5 to increase, so that the height positions of the housing 1 and the camera 3 are raised. By driving the bidirectional screw shaft 601 to rotate in the reverse direction by the motor 6, the transmission seats 5 are moved away from each other. The positioning link 7 is used to drive the distance between the mounting seat 2 and the transmission seats 5 to decrease, so that the height positions of the housing 1 and the camera 3 are lowered. The housing 1 and the camera 3 can be adjusted to the required height positions. When it is necessary to adjust the horizontal orientation of the camera 3, the housing 1 is rotated and positioned along the connecting seat 401 with the damping rotating shaft 102 until the camera 3 is adjusted to the required horizontal orientation.
