Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of self-service card issuing machine technology, and in particular to a self-service card issuing machine applicable to highways. Background Technology

[0002] In addition to manual card issuing lanes, highways also have unattended automatic card issuing lanes. These automatic card issuing lanes include automatic card issuing devices. The existing automatic card issuing devices are all installed on the toll islands, parallel to the edge of the toll islands or slightly recessed inside the toll islands. To facilitate travel, the current highway toll collection mode uses self-service card issuing machines at the entrance.

[0003] Patent specification CN217880380U discloses a self-service card issuing machine for highways, comprising a cabinet and a main control module. The main control module is housed within the cabinet, which includes an upper card issuing area and a lower card issuing area. Both the upper and lower card issuing areas include a card retrieval module and buttons. The card retrieval module includes a toll card loading rack, a horizontal card pushing module, a card dispensing device, and a card retrieval slot. By dividing the cabinet into upper and lower card issuing areas, the upper card issuing area is suitable for truck drivers, and the lower card issuing area is suitable for car drivers, which improves the comfort of card retrieval for drivers. Furthermore, this invention enables drivers to retrieve cards independently without the need for card issuing staff, thereby reducing manual intervention and effectively improving traffic efficiency.

[0004] However, in implementing the relevant technology, the self-service card issuing machine designed for highways has the following problems: In the existing technology, two sets of card issuing areas are used to issue cards to vehicles of different heights. However, when issuing cards, the distance between the issuing position and the vehicle is a certain distance, which is inconvenient for the driver to pick up the card. The driver needs to turn to the side to pick it up. If the driver's parking position is too far away, it is difficult to pick up the card. At the same time, if there are vehicles piled up behind and it is difficult to reverse, the driver needs to get out of the car to pick up the card, which is inconvenient and affects the card picking time. In view of this, a self-service card issuing machine for highways is provided to overcome the above defects. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a self-service card issuing machine for use on highways.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a self-service card issuing machine for highways, comprising a card issuing device, wherein a card outlet is provided at the middle of the front end of the card issuing device, and a sensor is embedded above the card outlet at the front end of the card issuing device, an inspection port is installed below the card outlet at the front end of the card issuing device, and a connecting block is provided at the front end of the card outlet, wherein a card feeding mechanism is provided inside the connecting block.

[0007] The card feeding mechanism includes a carrier shell, which is slidably connected inside the connecting block. Electric push rods are embedded on both sides of the top of the carrier shell. A damping spring is installed on the upper part of the inside of the carrier shell, and one end of the damping spring is connected to a clamping plate. An upper roller is rotatably connected to the bottom of the clamping plate on both axes. A lower roller is rotatably connected to the lower part of the inside of the carrier shell corresponding to the position of the upper roller. The carrier shell is pushed by the electric push rods, thereby moving towards the vehicle, making it easier for the driver to take the card and avoiding the inconvenience of getting out of the vehicle or turning to the side.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: the clamping plate has a U-shaped structure, and the clamping plate forms an elastic structure with the bearing shell through the damping spring. Under the action of the damping spring and the clamping plate, the upper roller elastically presses the card onto the lower roller, preventing it from shaking and falling off during the card feeding process. At the same time, the upper and lower rollers facilitate the removal of the card.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: limit blocks are fixed on both sides of the outer wall of the bearing shell, and limit grooves are opened inside the connecting block corresponding to the positions of the limit blocks. The limit grooves limit and support the limit blocks to prevent the bearing shell from shifting or shaking during the sliding process.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: the outer wall of the connecting block has a connecting port corresponding to the card outlet position. Furthermore, adjustment mechanisms are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the connecting block, with the card outlet and connecting port corresponding to each other, facilitating the card's penetration through the connecting block into the supporting shell.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: the adjustment mechanism includes connecting rods, two connecting rods are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall of the connecting block, and a push block is fixed at the axial end of the connecting rods that penetrate into the card issuing device. A threaded rod protrudes from the inside of one of the push blocks, and a motor is connected to the top of the threaded rod. A sliding groove is opened on the outer wall of the card issuing device at the position corresponding to the axial end of the connecting rod. A limit rod is slidably connected inside the other push block. Under the operation of the motor, the threaded rod is driven to rotate, so that the push block drives the connecting rod to slide stably along the sliding groove, thereby driving the card feeding mechanism to adjust the height and move according to the height of the vehicle, improving applicability.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: the connecting rod forms a sliding structure with the card issuing device through the slide groove, and the connecting rod forms a sliding structure with the limiting rod through the push block. One set of push blocks slides along the limiting rod in another set of slide grooves, which facilitates the adjustment mechanism to stably drive the card feeding mechanism to adjust the height.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: the card outlet has a card slot inside, and a card block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the card slot. The card outlet limits and stabilizes the card block through the card slot, so as to avoid shaking when the card is dispensed, which would cause the card outlet and the connecting port to be misaligned and the card cannot be conveyed.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This utility model relates to a self-service card dispenser for highways. An electric push rod pushes the carrier shell past a limiting block, allowing it to slide stably along the limiting groove of the connecting block to prevent deviation. This moves the card towards the vehicle, improving the convenience and comfort for the driver. When the card enters the carrier shell through the card dispenser, a damping spring elastically pushes the clamping plate, causing the upper roller to press the card firmly onto the lower roller. This elastic clamping prevents the card from detaching or loosening, while also avoiding over-clamping and facilitating the sliding removal of the card.

[0016] This utility model designs a self-service card issuing machine for highways. A motor drives a threaded rod to slide a pusher block, which in turn drives a connecting rod to slide along a groove. A limiting rod, in conjunction with this, allows another set of pushers to slide, enabling the two sets of connecting rods to stably drive the card feeding mechanism to adjust its height. This improves applicability to vehicles of different heights. When a card enters the card feeding mechanism, the card block, fixed by the connecting block, is positioned within the card slot at the card outlet, preventing misalignment between the card outlet and the connecting port from affecting card delivery.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a self-service card issuing machine for highways: including a card issuing device 1, a card outlet 2 is provided at the middle of the front end of the card issuing device 1, a sensor 3 is embedded above the card outlet 2 at the front end of the card issuing device 1, an inspection port 4 is installed below the card outlet 2 at the front end of the card issuing device 1, a connecting block 5 is provided at the front end of the card outlet 2, and a card feeding mechanism 6 is provided inside the connecting block 5.

[0024] The card delivery mechanism 6 includes a carrier shell 601, which is slidably connected inside the connecting block 5. Electric push rods 602 are embedded on both sides of the top of the carrier shell 601. A damping spring 603 is installed on the upper part of the inside of the carrier shell 601. One end of the damping spring 603 is connected to a clamping plate 604. The bottom end of the clamping plate 604 is rotatably connected to an upper roller 605 on both axes. A lower roller 606 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the inside of the carrier shell 601 corresponding to the position of the upper roller 605. The carrier shell 601 is pushed by the electric push rods 602, thereby moving towards the vehicle, making it easier for the driver to take the card and avoiding the inconvenience of getting out of the vehicle or turning to the side.

[0025] As a further implementation of the above technical solution: the clamping plate 604 has a U-shaped structure. The clamping plate 604 forms an elastic structure with the bearing shell 601 through the damping spring 603. Under the action of the damping spring 603 and the clamping plate 604, the upper roller 605 elastically presses the card onto the lower roller 606 to prevent the card from shaking and falling off during the card feeding process. At the same time, the upper roller 605 and the lower roller 606 facilitate the removal of the card.

[0026] As a further implementation of the above technical solution: Limiting blocks 7 are fixed on both sides of the outer wall of the bearing shell 601, and a limiting groove 8 is opened inside the connecting block 5 at the position corresponding to the limiting block 7. The limiting groove 8 limits and supports the limiting block 7 to prevent the bearing shell 601 from shifting or shaking during the sliding process.

[0027] In practice, when a vehicle travels to the front of the card issuing device 1, the sensor device 3 senses the distance and height of the vehicle, thereby enabling the card feeding mechanism 6 and the adjustment mechanism 10 to work and adjust. After the card enters the carrier shell 601 through the card outlet 2, the damping spring 603 elastically pushes the clamping plate 604, causing the upper roller 605 to press the card down onto the lower roller 606, which facilitates the card sliding while elastically clamping it to prevent it from falling off. Under the push of the electric push rod 602, the carrier shell 601 moves towards the vehicle position, making it easier for the driver to directly pick up the card, improving the efficiency and convenience of card retrieval. The limiting groove 8 opened by the connecting block 5 facilitates the limiting and supporting of the limiting block 7, thereby maintaining the stable sliding of the carrier shell 601.

[0028] As a further implementation of the above technical solution: a connecting port 9 is provided on the outer wall of the connecting block 5 at the position corresponding to the card outlet 2. Adjustment mechanisms 10 are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the connecting block 5, with the card outlet 2 and the connecting port 9 corresponding to each other, so that the card can pass through the connecting block 5 and enter the bearing shell 601.

[0029] As a further implementation of the above technical solution: the adjustment mechanism 10 includes connecting rods 1001. Two connecting rods 1001 are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall of the connecting block 5. The connecting rods 1001 are inserted into the axial end of the card issuing device 1 and a push block 1002 is fixed thereon. A threaded rod 1003 extends out of the inside of one push block 1002. A motor 1004 is connected to the top of the threaded rod 1003. A groove 1005 is opened on the outer wall of the card issuing device 1 at the position corresponding to the axial end of the connecting rod 1001. A limit rod 1006 is slidably connected inside the other push block 1002. Under the operation of the motor 1004, the threaded rod 1003 is driven to rotate, so that the push block 1002 drives the connecting rod 1001 to slide stably along the groove 1005, thereby driving the card feeding mechanism 6 to adjust its height and move according to the height of the vehicle, thus improving its applicability.

[0030] As a further implementation of the above technical solution: the connecting rod 1001 forms a sliding structure with the card issuing device 1 through the slide groove 1005, and the connecting rod 1001 forms a sliding structure with the limiting rod 1006 through the push block 1002. One set of push blocks 1002 slides along the limiting rod 1006 in another set of slide grooves 1005, so that the adjusting mechanism 10 can stably drive the card feeding mechanism 6 to adjust the height.

[0031] As a further implementation of the above technical solution: a card slot 12 is provided inside the card outlet 2, and a card block 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the card slot 12. The card outlet 2 limits and stabilizes the card block 11 through the card slot 12, so as to avoid shaking when dispensing the card, which would cause the card outlet 2 and the connecting port 9 to be misaligned and the card could not be conveyed.

[0032] In specific implementation, the motor 1004 drives the threaded rod 1003 to work, thereby driving a set of push blocks 1002 to slide along the corresponding slide groove 1005, and the connecting rod 1001 drives the card feeding mechanism 6 to adjust the height. In conjunction with another set of push blocks 1002 sliding along the limiting rod 1006, the connecting rod 1001 drives the other side of the card feeding mechanism 6 to adjust the height, so that the card feeding mechanism 6 maintains stability while adjusting the height. When the connecting block 5 is located on the side of the card outlet 2, the card slot 12 limits the card block 11, and the connecting block 5 fixed to the card block 11 is stabilized, avoiding the card outlet 2 and the connecting port 9 being misaligned and unable to feed cards.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
