Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of toll management machines, and particularly to a parking lot toll management machine. Background Art

[0002] The toll management machine is an important part of the modern parking lot management system, aiming to improve the operation efficiency of the parking lot and the user experience. Traditional parking lot toll management machines mainly rely on manual toll collection. However, with the progress of technology, automated toll management machines have gradually become popular. These automated toll management machines usually integrate license plate recognition systems, RFID readers, automatic barriers, and various payment methods, which can automatically identify vehicles entering and leaving, calculate parking fees, and provide convenient payment channels, greatly improving the management efficiency of the parking lot and user satisfaction.

[0003] However, the existing parking lot toll management machines still have some deficiencies in actual applications. Especially in the aspect of QR code payment, common problems include: the QR code is usually pasted on the toll management booth or displayed in a fixed position, and users need to get close to the QR code when scanning, which is inconvenient for in-vehicle operations; when the QR code is far from the vehicle, the scanning process becomes more difficult, resulting in low payment efficiency. In addition, the fixed position of the QR code is easily affected by environmental factors such as light and angle, further increasing the scanning difficulty. These problems not only affect the user experience but also reduce the operation efficiency of the parking lot.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose an improved parking lot toll management machine to solve the problems of inconvenient QR code payment, high scanning difficulty, and environmental factor influence, thereby improving the user's payment experience, increasing the reliability of the system, and the operation efficiency of the parking lot.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , this application proposes a parking lot toll management machine 10, which is applied to the parking lot exit position and includes a fixed pile (not marked in the figure) and a rotating member (not marked in the figure). The fixed pile is fixed to the ground; the rotating member is rotatably connected to the fixed pile. The rotating member has a display area 211 for displaying a two-dimensional code. When the vehicle drives to the parking lot exit position, the rotating member can rotate to face the front of the vehicle head, so that the user can complete the payment by scanning the two-dimensional code in the vehicle.

[0038] Specifically, the rotating member is rotatably connected to the fixed pile. The function of the fixed pile is to provide a stable support structure to support the rotating member. The installation position of the fixed pile should be near the parking lot exit to ensure that the vehicle can conveniently perform the payment operation when driving out of the parking lot. The rotating member has a display area 211 for displaying a two-dimensional code. When the vehicle drives to the parking lot exit position, the rotating member can rotate to face the front of the vehicle head, so that the display area 211 faces the front of the vehicle head, so that the user can complete the payment by scanning the two-dimensional code in the vehicle.

[0039] It should be understood that in the prior art, the two-dimensional code is usually fixed on the toll management booth or other fixed positions, and the user needs to get close to the two-dimensional code when scanning, which increases the inconvenience of operation. In this application, through the design of the rotating member, the two-dimensional code display area 211 can rotate to the most suitable position for the user to scan when needed, solving the problem of inconvenient operation during two-dimensional code payment.

[0049] Specifically, the fixing frame 110 is fixed to the ground to provide stable support. The driving device 120 is installed on the fixing frame 110 and is in transmission connection with the rotating frame 210. The driving device 120 can be a motor, a cylinder or a hydraulic device. As a preferred solution for the driving device 120, the motor is connected to the rotating frame 210 through a rotating shaft, and can accurately control the rotation angle and speed of the rotating frame 210. After the driving device 120 is started, it rotates according to the set angle (usually 90 degrees). During the rotation process, the driving device 120 provides sufficient power to ensure that the rotating frame 210 reaches the specified position smoothly and quickly. After the QR code display is completed, the system detects a payment success signal, and the driving device 120 is started again to return the rotating frame 210 to the initial position.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 3 , in an embodiment, the rotating frame 210 is provided with a fixing groove 213, the driving device 120 is a motor, and the rotating shaft of the motor is clamped in the fixing groove 213 to drive the rotating frame 210 to rotate by 90 degrees.

[0051] Specifically, a fixing groove 213 is provided on the rotating frame 210 for connecting with the rotating shaft of the driving device 120. The motor outputs power through the rotating shaft to drive the rotating frame 210 to rotate along a predetermined angle (usually 90 degrees). When the vehicle drives to the parking lot exit position, the motor is started, and the rotating shaft drives the rotating frame 210 to rotate 90 degrees along the direction of the fixing groove 213 to display the QR code in the position directly facing the vehicle head. After the payment is completed, the system sends a signal, and the motor drives the rotating frame 210 in the reverse direction to return to the initial position.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , in an embodiment, the fixing pile further includes a camera 130 and a control board 140. The camera 130 and the control board 140 are both arranged on the fixing frame 110. The control board 140 is electrically connected to the camera 130, the display screen 220 and the driving device 120. The camera 130 is used to observe whether there is a vehicle and license plate information in the target area to obtain the parking fee or whether the vehicle has paid the fee of the current vehicle; when the control board 140 detects through the camera 130 that the vehicle has driven to the parking lot exit position, the control board 140 obtains the parking fee or whether the vehicle has paid the fee of the current vehicle through the camera 130, so that the control board 140 can control the fixing frame 110 to rotate and control the display screen 220 to display the payment information.

[0053] Specifically, the control board 140 is installed inside the fixing frame 110 and is connected to the camera 130, the display screen 220, and the driving device 120 through cables. The control board 140 is built with a processor and a storage unit, which are used to process the image data transmitted back by the camera 130, perform license plate recognition and fee calculation, and send control signals according to the calculation results. The camera 130 is installed on the fixing frame 110 and has a wide-angle lens and a high-resolution imaging function, capable of monitoring the situation in the parking lot exit area in real time. The camera 130 is not only used to detect whether a vehicle has reached the exit position, but also to identify the license plate information of the vehicle, query the parking record in the background system through the license plate information, and obtain the parking fee or payment status of the current vehicle.

[0054] When the vehicle drives to the parking lot exit position, the camera 130 detects the vehicle and transmits the image to the control board 140. The control board 140 processes the image, identifies the license plate information, and queries the parking record to obtain the parking fee or payment status of the current vehicle.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 , in an embodiment, the fixed pile further includes a warning light 150. The warning light 150 is arranged on the side of the fixing frame 110, and the control board 140 is electrically connected to the warning light 150. When the vehicle drives to the parking lot exit position, the warning light 150 displays the payment status of the vehicle.

[0056] Specifically, the control board 140 controls the color of the warning light 150 to light up according to the query result. If the vehicle has not paid the fee, the control board 140 controls the driving device 120 to start, drives the rotating frame 210 to rotate to the position facing the vehicle head, the display screen 220 synchronously displays the current parking fee information, and at the same time the warning light 150 turns red. After the driver completes the payment by scanning the QR code, the control board 140 confirms the successful payment, the driving device 120 drives the rotating frame 210 to return to the initial position, the warning light 150 turns green, and the vehicle can pass through the exit smoothly. If the vehicle has already paid the fee, the display screen 220 directly displays the payment completed information, the warning light 150 turns green, and the vehicle can directly pass through the exit.

[0057] It should be noted that the camera 130 is used for license plate recognition. This camera 130 has high resolution and can clearly capture the license plate information of the vehicle. License plate recognition process: The camera collects the reflected light on the vehicle license plate and focuses it on the light-receiving surface of the imaging device (such as the target surface of the camera tube). Then, the imaging device converts the optical signal into an electrical signal to generate a video signal. The license plate information is extracted by analyzing the video signal through the license plate recognition algorithm. This camera 130 supports multiple license plate types, including ordinary blue plates, black plates, yellow plates, double-layer yellow plates, license plates for vehicles entering and leaving the Chinese mainland from Hong Kong, China and Macau, China. In addition, an AI camera 130 can also be used to identify and extract the license plate information.
