[0002] In recent years, the unattended automatic card issuing system for entrance lanes has been more and more widely used, which has reduced the operation cost of expressways to a certain extent and improved the vehicle passing efficiency. However, the exit lanes still mostly adopt the manual semi-automatic toll collection method, and the toll is paid in cash, resulting in low passing efficiency, and the labor cost and the high-speed operation cost are increasing year by year. In order to further reduce the operation cost of expressways and improve the passing efficiency of toll stations, it has become an urgent need to realize unmanned payment at the exit lanes.
[0003] The existing high-speed self-service payment devices generally mainly include a machine case, a card box and a card transmission device. The card transmission device has a card slot for cards to enter and exit, and this card slot is exposed. In rainy days, especially when it is windy, rainwater is easy to enter the device through this card slot, which is likely to cause damage to the electrical components inside the device and pose a danger. In areas with large sand and wind, such self-service payment devices will have a greater impact on use. Based on the fact that the device is basically made of sheet metal, its protection performance can basically meet the external use requirements. However, due to the exposure of the card slot, sand and wind will enter the device, which will greatly affect the normal use of the device. Therefore, it is very necessary to provide a sand and wind prevention structure to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Utility Model

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the specific embodiments and with reference to the drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. In addition, in the following description, the descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted to avoid unnecessarily confusing the concepts of the present utility model.
[0029] A wind and sand protection structure of an embodiment of the present utility model is installed on an existing conventional self-service payment device (not shown) for highway toll collection, such as a card receiving machine, a card issuing machine or a card receiving and issuing integrated machine. More specifically, it is installed outside the card slot for the card to pass through of the self-service payment device, and is used to close the card slot when there is no card passing through at the card slot to avoid wind, sand and rain from entering the device through the card slot and affecting the normal use of the device. Specifically, seeFigures 1 to 4, the sand and wind prevention structure of the embodiment of the present utility model includes a cover body 10, at least one flap member 20 and a driving mechanism 30. The cover body 10 is a generally cuboid-shaped housing with a cavity inside. The cover body 10 has two opposite mounting ends, which are defined as the first mounting end 11 and the second mounting end 12 for the convenience of description. Among them, the first mounting end 11 is used to connect with the outer shell of the self-service payment device, more specifically, the wall surface around the bayonet. The second mounting end 12 is used for the installation of the flap member 20. And for the convenience of the cover body 10 not interfering with the bayonet and being able to expose the bayonet conveniently when needed, the first mounting end 11 has a first opening 111, and the second mounting end 12 has a second opening 121. The first opening 111 avoids the bayonet so that the bayonet can communicate with the inner cavity of the cover body 10, while the second opening 121 is opposite to the bayonet and communicates with the inner cavity of the cover body 10. The flap member 20 is rotatably arranged on the inner wall of the cover body 10, more specifically, inside the second opening 121, so as to be able to switch between closing the second opening 121 and opening the second opening 121. The driving mechanism 30 is connected to the flap member 20 and is used to drive the flap member 20 to flip relative to the second opening 121 on the cover body 10 to realize the free switching of closing or opening the second opening 121. It should be noted that for the sand and wind prevention structure of the embodiment of the present utility model, its specific working process is as follows: The driving mechanism 30 is electrically connected to the lane system (host computer, not shown) of the self-service payment device. There is a ground induction coil (not shown) buried under the ground in front of the side of the self-service payment device. The ground induction coil is used to sense vehicles and is electrically connected to the controller (not shown) of the self-service payment device. The controller is also electrically connected to the lane system. When a vehicle passes by, the ground induction coil senses the vehicle and feeds back the signal to the controller. The controller receives the signal and feeds it back to the lane system. The lane system then feeds it back to the driving mechanism 30. The driving mechanism 30 starts to work to drive the flap member 20 to flip to open the second opening 121 and expose the bayonet. The payer can insert the pass card into the bayonet for payment. After the payment is completed, the driving mechanism 30 will drive the flap member 20 to reset again to close the second opening 121 and block the bayonet, effectively preventing problems caused by sand and rain entering the device through the bayonet. The structure is simple and practical. The electrical connection part between the ground induction coil and the self-service payment device belongs to the existing technology and is not the innovation point of the present utility model. The innovation point of the present utility model lies in the setting of the sand and wind prevention structure and the establishment of an electrical connection between the sand and wind prevention structure and the self-service payment device to realize automatic opening and closing and automation.The sand and wind prevention structure of the embodiment of the utility model is arranged at the opening position of the self-service payment device, automatically opens when a vehicle is detected to expose the bayonet for the access card to pass through, and automatically closes after the payment is completed to block the bayonet, effectively solving the problem that the bayonet of the existing self-service payment device is exposed, resulting in sand, wind and rain easily entering and affecting the normal use of the device. It can effectively prevent sand, wind and rain from entering the device through the bayonet, and is especially suitable for use in areas with strong winds and sand. The structure is simple and the practicability is strong.
[0030] According to some preferred embodiments of the embodiment of the utility model, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, the number of the flap members 20 of the embodiment of the utility model is two, that is, they are arranged relatively one above the other at the position of the second opening 121. Compared with a single flap member 20, the flipping amplitude of each flap member 20 is relatively small. The structures of the two flap members 20 are the same, and only one of them will be described as an example. The flap member 20 of the embodiment of the utility model includes a first connecting plate 21 and a second connecting plate 22 provided at both ends and a baffle 23 located between the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22. The first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22 both extend along the radius direction of the arc formed by the flipping path of the flap member 20, and the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22 are respectively parallelly spaced and rotatably connected to the two side walls of the cover body 10, that is, the left and right side walls as Figure 3 shown. The baffle 23 is a plate body that is integrally formed with the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22 at both ends and is arc-shaped. The driving mechanism 30 includes a driving motor 31, a driving wheel and a driven wheel 33. The driving motor 31 is installed on the outer side of one of the side walls of the cover body 10. A driving wheel is respectively provided on the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22 of one of the flap members 20, and a driven wheel 33 is respectively provided on the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22 of the other flap member 20. The driving motor 31 is connected to one of the driving wheels. For the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22, preferably, it is a plate body with a fan-shaped cross-section. For the driving wheel and the driven wheel 33, as Figure 2 shown, preferably, the driving wheel and the driven wheel 33 are both gears, that is, the driving wheel and the driven wheel 33 are meshed to achieve transmission connection. As an alternative embodiment, the driving wheel and the driven wheel 33 can also be synchronous belt wheels or sprocket wheels, and are connected through a transmission mechanism such as a synchronous belt or a chain to achieve transmission connection.
[0031] As an alternative embodiment of the turning baffle 20, the number of turning baffles 20 in the embodiment of the present utility model is only one, and the specific structure is the same as that of the above-mentioned turning baffle 20, except that the size is larger. Correspondingly, as for the driving mechanism 30, at this time, only one driving mechanism 30 is required, and the motor shaft of the driving motor 31 can be directly connected to the first connecting plate 21 or the second connecting plate 22, without adding a driving wheel and a driven wheel 33. However, preferably, a limiting member (not shown) can be added above or below the second opening 121 of the cover body 10 to stop and limit the baffle 23.
[0032] Since the baffle 23 is an arc-shaped plate, in order to avoid interference between the turning baffle 20 and the inner wall of the cover body 10 during the turning process, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the top wall and the bottom wall of the cover body 10, more specifically, the wall surfaces above and below the second opening 121, are both arc surfaces 13 that match the arc of the baffle 23. The specific radian is not limited and can be set according to the radian of the baffle 23.
[0033] In some preferred embodiments of the present utility model, the size of the first opening 111 is larger than that of the second opening 121. The specific size is not described and limited. The relatively smaller second opening 121 can reduce the size of the baffle 23 of the turning baffle 20, thereby reducing the cost. Preferably, as Figure 2 shown, the first mounting end 11 of the cover body 10 in the embodiment of the present utility model is directly open, that is, the cover body 10 has only five faces (for the convenience of description and understanding, the face where the first mounting end 11 is located is described as the back, and the face where the second mounting end 12 is located is described as the front), that is, including the top surface, the bottom surface, two side surfaces, and a part of the front surface (the above-mentioned upper and lower arc surfaces 13, and the second opening 121 is between the upper and lower arc surfaces 13). The peripheral wall surface of the first opening 111 of the first mounting end 11 is a connecting surface connected to the wall surface of the outer periphery of the bayonet of the self-service payment device. In this way, the size of the bayonet of the self-service payment device does not need to be opened, improving the versatility. As an alternative embodiment, the first mounting end 11 may not be open, that is, the back of the cover body 10 still exists and the first opening 111 is opened in the middle of the back and matches the size of the bayonet of the self-service payment device.
[0034] The wind and sand prevention structure in the practical embodiment of the present utility model can be detachably (such as fixed connection by fasteners such as bolts) installed on the outer shell of the self-service payment device. This method requires corresponding connection holes to be opened on the outer shell of the existing self-service payment device. As an alternative embodiment, the wind and sand prevention structure in the embodiment of the present utility model can also be fixedly connected to the outer shell of the self-service payment device, such as welding.
[0035] An embodiment of the present utility model further provides a self-service payment device, which includes the sand-proof structure of the above embodiment. Of course, it may also include some other general components such as a machine shell, a card recycling box disposed inside the machine shell and below the card transmission mechanism, etc., which will not be described and limited in detail specifically. Since it includes the sand-proof structure of the above embodiment, it at least has the beneficial effects of the above sand-proof structure, which will not be elaborated here.
[0036] It should be understood that the above specific embodiments of the present utility model are only used for exemplary illustration or explanation of the principle of the present utility model, and do not constitute a limitation to the present utility model. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model. In addition, the appended claims of the present utility model are intended to cover all variations and modifications that fall within the scope and boundaries of the appended claims, or equivalent forms of such scope and boundaries.
