Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to self-service payment equipment, and more particularly to a card recycling mechanism and a highway self-service payment machine. Background Technology
[0002] Highway self-service toll payment machines are used to collect tolls from non-ETC vehicles traveling on highways. When drivers arrive at the highway exit, they can insert their CPC cards into the toll payment machine themselves. The machine then reads the CPC cards and charges the driver based on the information read.
[0003] In related technologies, highway self-service toll payment machines include a tray-type card collection mechanism. CPC cards can be placed on the tray, and after a CPC card is successfully read, the tray can move with the card above the collection slot, then flip to empty the card into the slot. However, this card collection method is too slow and takes a long time, affecting vehicle traffic efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0038] In the following description, specific details such as particular system structures and techniques are set forth for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present invention. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention can be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, apparatuses, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model discloses a card recycling mechanism 100, which mainly includes a support platform 1, a movable frame 2, and a first movable base component 3. The support platform 1 serves a supporting function and has a recycling port 11 for recycling cards 200. The movable frame 2 is movably mounted on top of the support platform 1. At least a portion of the structure of the first movable base component 3 can be disposed between the movable frame 2 and the platform to drive the movable frame 2 to reciprocate. The movable frame 2 is provided with a pushing part 21, which includes a standby state and a recycling state. In the standby state, a placement area 22 for placing cards 200 onto the support platform 1 is formed between the pushing part 21 and the recycling port 11. In the recycling state, the pushing part 21 moves towards the recycling port 11 to push the card 200 into the recycling port 11.
[0040] This card recycling mechanism 100 can be applied to highway self-service toll payment machines, where the card 200 is the CPC card. Understandably, before the driver inserts the CPC card, the pusher 21 is in a standby state; when the CPC card is inserted into the insertion area 22, the pusher 21, driven by the first movable base component 3, enters a recycling state, pushing the CPC card into the recycling slot 11, thus completing the recycling of the CPC card. Compared to the tray-type card recycling mechanism 100 in related technologies, this card recycling mechanism 100 completes card collection by pushing the card 200 horizontally, without the need for a flipping action, thus increasing card collection speed and positively impacting vehicle traffic efficiency. Of course, this card recycling mechanism 100 can also be applied to other self-service machines that require card 200 recycling; this is not limited to these applications.
[0041] The following example illustrates the construction of the card recycling mechanism 100, using its application on a highway self-service toll payment machine.
[0042] In some embodiments, reference may be made to Figure 1 The support platform 1 can be a rectangular flat plate structure. It should be noted that the support platform 1 can also be other shapes, such as a square, a polygon with more than four sides, etc., and does not have to be rectangular.
[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the recycling port 11 is a through-hole formed by the top and bottom of the carrying platform 1. A distance is left between the recycling port 11 and the edge of the carrying platform 1 on the side for delivery, to allow for the installation of the movable frame 2. The side for delivery can be understood as the side where the driver can deliver the CPC card; that is, the side facing the vehicle. The side closer to delivery is defined below as the preset side A.
[0044] The movable frame 2 can reciprocate along its length on the support platform 1. It can also be noted that the movable frame 2 can move along its width, diagonal direction, etc., on the support platform 1; this is not limited to these directions. Generally, the direction of movement of the movable frame 2 is parallel to or coincides with the straight line direction in which the payment machine faces the vehicle.
[0045] For reference Figure 4 The movable frame 2 can be a frame with an open top and bottom, and includes several side wall portions 23 in the circumferential direction. Among them, the side wall portion 23 located on the preset side forms a push portion 21.
[0046] When the mobile frame 2 is in standby mode, it is located between the edge of the preset side of the support platform 1 and the recycling port 11, and the various side walls 23 and the support platform 1 together define the delivery area 22.
[0047] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the movable frame 2 may include four sidewall portions 23 connected end-to-end in the circumferential direction. In other embodiments, the movable frame 2 may also include only two sidewall portions 23 arranged opposite each other in the length direction. Correspondingly, the support platform 1 also has two sidewalls on both sides along its length direction. The two sidewalls and bottom of the support platform 1, and the two sidewall portions 23 of the movable frame 2, together define the delivery area 22. Understandably, from a functional perspective, the movable frame 2 can also achieve the card pushing function with only one pushing part 21.
[0048] Here's an additional explanation, which can be combined with... Figure 1 and Figure 2 Depending on the state change, the pushing unit 21 may include a starting position and an ending position. The starting position is the position in the standby state, and there is a gap between the pushing unit 21 and the edge of the preset side of the recycling port 11 to make room to form the delivery area 22. The ending position is the position of the pushing unit 21 at the end of the recycling state, and the gap between the pushing unit 21 and the edge of the preset side of the recycling port 11 is at least less than half the length of the CPC card, so that the CPC card can be pushed into the recycling port 11. Optionally, the gap between the pushing unit 21 and the edge of the preset side of the recycling port 11 at the ending position can be zero, or it can even extend beyond the edge of the preset side of the recycling port 11.
[0049] The card recycling mechanism 100 may also include two position sensors 4 corresponding to the start position and the end position (see reference). Figure 1 , Figure 1 A position sensor 4 located at the endpoint is shown to determine the position of the movable frame 2. In some embodiments, the position sensor 4 may be a U-shaped sensor; correspondingly, refer to... Figure 3 The movable frame 2 is equipped with a baffle 26 that cooperates with the U-shaped sensor. When the movable frame 2 moves to the starting or ending position, the baffle 26 can just block the U-shaped sensor, providing a trigger signal for stopping the first movable base component 3, thereby allowing the movable frame 2 to stop accurately at the starting or ending position. In other optional solutions, the baffle can also be directly blocked by the side wall 23 of the movable frame 2.
[0050] Continue reading Figure 3 The card recycling mechanism 100 may also include a card detection component 5; the card detection component 5 is disposed at the delivery area 22 for sensing the presence of CPC cards, and is connected to the first active base component 3 to provide a trigger signal for the operation of the first active base component 3.
[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, the card detection assembly 5 can be installed in the support platform 1, located between the edge of a predetermined side of the support platform 1 and the recycling port 11. The card detection assembly 5 may include a shell plate 51, at least one card detection sensor 52 embedded in the shell plate 51, and a card detection circuit board (not shown) installed at the bottom of the shell plate 51. The shell plate 51 can be embedded in the top of the support platform 1, for example, by creating a slot in the top of the support platform 1 to embed the shell plate 51 in the support platform 1, and the top surface of the shell plate 51 can be part of the top surface of the support platform 1. This arrangement allows the card detection function to be performed without affecting the movement of the movable frame 2. The function and specific structure of the card detection sensor 52 and the card detection circuit board can be found in related technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0052] Of course, the card detection component 5 can also be embedded inside the carrier platform 1, at the bottom of the carrier platform 1, etc., as long as the distance between the CPC card and the card detection sensor 52 is within the sensing range of the card detection sensor 52.
[0053] Multiple card sensors 52 can be set and arranged at regular intervals in the middle of the shell plate 51. The arrangement can be a grid pattern, a linear pattern, a spiral pattern, an S-shaped pattern, etc.
[0054] Secondly, preferably, it can be referred to Figure 4 and Figure 5In the delivery area 22, the inner surfaces of the remaining side walls can be configured as outwardly protruding arc-shaped surfaces 231 to facilitate the CPC card sliding onto the card detection component 5. Here, "remaining sides" refers to the remaining sides of the delivery area 22 other than the preset side.
[0055] Understandably, when a CPC card is inserted into the delivery area 22, it is more likely to first impact the sidewalls on the other sides before falling onto the support platform 1. The outwardly protruding arc-shaped surface 231 helps the CPC card move closer to the center of the delivery area 22, which has a positive effect on improving the success rate of the card detection component 5. Of course, the outwardly protruding arc-shaped surface 231 can also be provided on the inner side of the preset side wall of the delivery area 22; this is not a limitation.
[0056] In addition, in the delivery area 22, the height of the side wall on the preset side can be lower than the height of the side walls on the other sides to facilitate the delivery of CPC cards.
[0057] For reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The card recycling mechanism 100 may also include a recycling bin 6 located at the bottom of the carrying platform 1. The recycling bin 6 is connected to the recycling port 11, and CPC cards passing through the recycling port 11 can fall freely into the recycling bin 6 under the action of gravity.
[0058] Simultaneously, a second movable base component (not shown) is provided between the recycling bin 6 and the carrying platform 1, used to move the carrying platform 1 relative to the recycling bin 6. The direction of movement of the carrying platform 1 is parallel to / coincides with the straight line direction of the payment machine facing the vehicle; that is, the carrying platform 1 can extend outward in a preset direction on the recycling bin 6, or retract back to its original position. The respective directions of movement of the movable frame 2 and the carrying platform 1 can be on the same straight line. The carrying platform 1 can include a zero-point position and a maximum extension position, and the carrying platform 1 can reciprocate or stop between the zero-point position and the maximum extension position via the second sliding base component.
[0059] Preferably, two position sensors (not shown) are also provided at the zero point position and the maximum extension position, respectively, to determine the position of the support platform 1. The use of these position sensors can be referred to above, and will not be repeated here.
[0060] The card recycling mechanism 100 may also include a reflection sensor (not shown) for measuring the distance between the carrier platform 1 and the vehicle, thereby determining the extension amount of the carrier platform 1 based on the distance between the carrier platform 1 and the vehicle. Understandably, the reflection sensor allows for adaptive adjustment of the extension amount of the carrier platform 1 based on the vehicle distance, ensuring that the delivery area 22 is positioned appropriately for the driver to deposit the CPC card, while also preventing the carrier platform 1 from touching the vehicle when it extends towards it. In some embodiments, the reflection sensor may be a radar sensor.
[0061] Secondly, such as Figure 7 As shown, the top of the recycling bin 6 is provided with a bin opening 61 that communicates with the recycling port 11. The size of the bin opening 61 is larger than the size of the recycling port 11. Furthermore, the recycling port 11 is kept completely opposite to the bin opening 61. That is to say, no matter how the carrying platform 1 moves, the projection of the recycling port 11 on the bin opening 61 is always contained in the bin opening 61.
[0062] Understandably, by maintaining the recycling port 11 fully aligned with the bin opening 61, CPC cards can be recycled even when the carrying platform 1 is in its fully extended position. This is because if the recycling port 11 is only partially aligned with the bin opening 61, there is a risk that the CPC card might leak out from the misaligned area of the recycling port 11. In particular, cards 200 are generally flat, such as CPC cards, and are especially prone to falling through gaps. Therefore, since this card recycling mechanism 100 can complete card recycling without waiting for the carrying platform 1 to retract, it has a positive impact on improving card recycling speed.
[0063] Next, please read back. Figure 2 The first movable base component 3 may include a first guide structure 31, a first transmission structure 32, and a first drive member 33. The first drive member 33 provides power to the first transmission structure 32 and supports the reciprocating movement of the movable frame 2; the first transmission structure 32 drives the movable frame 2 to slide; and the first guide structure 31 guides the movable frame 2 to move back and forth on the support platform 1.
[0064] like Figure 2 As shown, the first guide structure 31 may include two crossbars 311, which are respectively fixed to the top of the support platform 1 and distributed on opposite sides along the direction of movement. The movable frame 2 can be installed between the two crossbars 311 and can be movably set on the crossbars 311.
[0065] In this embodiment, guide rail blocks 24 extending outward are provided on both sides of the movable frame 2 adjacent to the two crossbars 311. The guide rail blocks 24 can be movably fitted onto the corresponding crossbars 311 to complete the installation of the movable frame 2.
[0066] The first transmission structure 32 can also be installed on the support platform 1, located on one side of the movable frame 2 and connected to it. Optionally, the first transmission structure 32 can use belt drive, chain drive, or other methods for transmission.
[0067] In this embodiment, the first transmission structure 32 adopts a belt drive, as shown in the figure. It may include several pulleys 321 and a synchronous belt 322. The pulleys 321 are arranged in a straight line, and the synchronous belt 322 is tensioned on the outer periphery of the pulleys 321 as a whole and is fixedly connected to the movable frame 2. The first driving member 33 is connected to at least one of the pulleys 321 and provides power to it. The pulleys 321 connected to the first driving member 33 drive the synchronous belt 322 to rotate on the pulleys 321, thereby moving the movable frame 2 on the support platform 1. Further optionally, the bottom of the movable frame 2 may be directly fixedly connected to the synchronous belt 322 so that the synchronous belt 322 drives the movable frame 2 to move. Also optionally, a connecting part 25 may be provided between the movable frame 2 and the synchronous belt 322 to realize the transmission between the synchronous belt 322 and the movable frame 2.
[0068] The first drive unit 33 can be installed on the support platform 1, located on the side of the recovery port 11 away from the movable frame 2. Of course, the first drive unit 33 can also be installed in other locations, which is not limited here. The first drive unit 33 can be a stepper motor.
[0069] The second basic component may also include a second guide structure, a second transmission structure, and a second drive component. The second drive component provides power to the second transmission structure and supports the reciprocating movement of the support platform 1; the second transmission structure drives the support platform 1 to slide; and the second guide structure guides the support platform 1 to extend outwards or retract inwards on the recovery frame.
[0070] The second guide structure can be a slide rail structure, disposed between the bottom of the support platform 1 and the top of the recycling bin 6. Optionally, the slide rail structure can include two slide rails disposed at the bottom of the support platform 1, with the corresponding two side edges of the top of the recycling bin 6 embedded in the corresponding slide rails. Alternatively, the slide rail structure can include two slide rails, each with a slider; the slide rails can be disposed at the top of the recycling bin 6, connecting the slider to the bottom of the support platform 1; of course, it is also possible to dispose of the slide rails at the bottom of the support platform 1 with the slider connected to the recycling bin 6.
[0071] The specific composition and configuration of the second transmission structure and the second driving component can be referred to the first movable base component 3, and will not be elaborated here.
[0072] In summary, the specific execution process of this card recycling organization 100 can be as follows:
[0073] Before the CPC card is dispensed, activity rack 2 is in standby mode (i.e., in the starting position).
[0074] When the CPC card is placed in the placement area 22, the card detection component 5 senses its presence and sends a command. Upon receiving the command, the stepper motor rotates forward, driving the movable frame 2 to move via the synchronous belt 322. The pushing part 21 of the movable frame 2 then pushes the CPC card towards the collection port 11 until the baffle 26 blocks the U-shaped sensor. At this point, the movable frame 2 stops moving (i.e., reaches the end position), and the CPC card is pushed into the collection port 11, completing the card collection process.
[0075] After the card is collected, the stepper motor rotates in the opposite direction, and the movable frame 2 returns along the original path until the baffle 26 blocks the other U-shaped sensor; at this time, the movable frame 2 stops moving (returns to the starting position) and returns to the standby state.
[0076] In some embodiments, the length L1 of the recycling bin 6 in the moving direction can be between 330mm and 370mm; at the zero position, the edge of the preset side of the supporting platform 1 is flush with the edge of the preset side of the recycling bin 6. The length L2 of the movable frame 2 in the moving direction can be between 230mm and 270mm. The maximum extension L3 of the supporting platform 1 can be between 180mm and 220mm. Preferably, the length of the recycling bin 6 in the moving direction can be 350mm, the length of the movable frame 2 in the moving direction can be 250mm, and the maximum extension of the supporting platform 1 can be 200mm. It can be understood that, through the above configuration, the card recycling mechanism 100 can perform the card collection process without waiting for the supporting platform 1 to retract, and the card collection efficiency can be improved by at least 30%.
[0077] In addition, this invention provides a self-service toll payment machine for highways, which includes the aforementioned card recycling mechanism 100.
[0078] Highway self-service toll payment machines may also include toll collection components, which may include ETC toll collection components that provide the basis for ETC card payments, and / or QR code payment components that provide the basis for QR code payments. It should be noted that the specific structures of the ETC toll collection components and QR code payment components can be found in relevant technologies, and will not be elaborated upon here.
[0079] The self-service toll payment machine for highways may include a control module that controls the operation of the card recycling mechanism 100 based on received signals. For example, the control module may control at least one of the first drive unit 33 and the second drive unit to operate based on a reflection sensor and at least one of the two position sensors 4.
[0080] It is understood that the above embodiments only illustrate preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model patent. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, the above technical features can be freely combined, and several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, all of which fall within the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent transformations and modifications made within the scope of the claims of the present utility model should fall within the coverage of the claims of the present utility model.
