[0002] With the increase in the number of household cars, the demand for vehicle cleaning is also growing. Now there is an unmanned self-service car wash machine on the market that can operate 24 hours a day. Car owners do not need to get out of the car. They just need to drive the car into the preset parking space inside the car wash machine, sit in the car and scan the code with their mobile phone to pay the car wash fee, then they can turn on the car wash machine to clean, wax and air-dry the vehicle. Because it does not require manual operation, it liberates manpower, reduces the cost of operators, and is convenient for car owners. Therefore, it is loved by the majority of operators and car owners.
[0003] However, in order to make it convenient for car owners to scan the code to pay while sitting in the car, the payment module is installed next to the preset parking space inside the car washing machine. When the car washing machine is washing the car, the foam and water sprayed by the car washing machine will splash onto the display screen of the payment module. When the next car owner uses it, the display screen is stuck with foam and water, resulting in unclear payment code. The mobile phone cannot recognize the payment code and needs to get out of the car to wipe the display screen, which gives the car owner a bad user experience. Utility Model Content

The directional pulley 41 slides on the upper surface of the track ridge 16, making the operation of the shielding plate 4 more stable and smooth. When the acquisition camera 22 captures a vehicle parked in the preset parking space inside the car wash machine, it transmits the information to the microprocessor, which controls the servo motor to rotate. The shaft drives the shielding plate 4 to flip up through the rotating rod 3, revealing the LED display screen 23. The car owner scans the payment code on the LED display screen 23 with a mobile phone through the prompt information on the LED display screen 23 and confirms the payment. After receiving the payment information through the wireless Wi-Fi module, the microprocessor controls the servo motor to rotate in the opposite direction to close the shielding plate 4.
[0032] Two directional pulleys 41 are relatively fixedly connected to the upper part of the inner facade of the shielding plate 4, and the inner facades of the vertical walls on both sides of the shell 1 are respectively provided with track protrusions 16 for matching the directional pulleys 41, so that the position of the shielding plate 4 is more stable and smooth when closing and opening.
[0033] A barrier strip 12 is fixedly provided at the upper edge of the opening of the shell 1 to limit the baffle 4. When the baffle 4 is in a closed state, the barrier strip 12 fits perfectly with the front facade of the baffle 4, preventing external water from flowing into the shell 1.
[0034] A barrier strip 2 13 is fixedly provided on the lower surface of the inner cavity of the shell 1 , and the barrier strip 2 13 contacts the front facade of the protective cover 2 . When the baffle plate 4 is in a closed state, the barrier strip 2 13 fits perfectly with the rear facade of the baffle plate 4 to prevent external water from flowing into the interior of the shell 1 .
[0035] The barrier strip 12 and the barrier strip 2 13 are made of rubber, are corrosion-resistant, and have good elasticity. They can cooperate with the baffle plate 4 to effectively prevent external water from flowing into the shell 1.
[0036] A mounting plate 14 is provided along the circumferential direction of the opening edge of the housing 1 , and a plurality of assembly through holes 141 are provided on the mounting plate 14 , so as to facilitate installation of the identifiable payment module for the car washing machine on the car washing machine.
[0037] A rubber sealing pad 142 is provided on the rear surface of the mounting plate 14 to prevent water from flowing into the interior of the car washer through the gap between the mounting plate 14 and the car washer.
[0038] The lower edge of the opening of the housing 1 is rounded to facilitate water flow and prevent water accumulation in the lower part of the housing 1.
[0039] The wireless communication module is a wireless Wi-Fi module, which has the characteristics of low power consumption and long-distance communication, and can meet the different usage scenarios of the identifiable payment module for car washing machines.
[0040] The microprocessor is electrically connected to a battery compartment, and a universal 18650 rechargeable lithium battery can be installed in the battery compartment to power the identifiable payment module for the car washing machine when there is no external power supply, thereby ensuring that the identifiable payment module for the car machine can work stably. The battery compartment is electrically connected to the power interface 11. When the power interface 11 is connected to an external power supply, the universal 18650 rechargeable lithium battery can be charged. The battery compartment is provided with a compartment cover 15, and the compartment cover 15 is located on the back surface of the shell 1.
[0041] Working principle: When the acquisition camera 22 captures a vehicle parked in the preset parking space inside the car wash machine, it will transmit the information to the microprocessor. The microprocessor controls the rotation of the servo motor, and the shaft drives the baffle 4 to flip up through the rotating rod 3, revealing the LED display 23. The car owner uses the mobile phone to scan the payment code on the LED display 23 according to the prompt information on the LED display 23 and confirms the payment. After receiving the payment information through the wireless Wi-Fi module, the microprocessor controls the servo motor to rotate in the opposite direction and close the baffle 4. Since the LED display 23 is shielded by the baffle 4, the foam and water sprayed by the car wash machine during operation will not splash onto the LED display 23, so that the next car owner can clearly see the information on the LED display 23 when using it and successfully scan the code.
[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
