Detailed Implementation
[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.
[0022] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 5As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a handheld emergency toll collection device for toll stations, including a handheld toll collection device body 1. One end of the handheld toll collection device body 1 is rotatably connected to a first protective shell 2 via a rotating shaft. A T-shaped pin 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the bottom of the first protective shell 2. The two ends of the bottom of the handheld toll collection device body 1 are rotatably connected to first clamping blocks 4 via rotating shafts. One end of the bottom of the handheld toll collection device body 1 is fixedly connected to a first limiting shell 5. A first sliding buckle 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first limiting shell 5. The inner wall of the first sliding buckle 6 is slidably connected to the surface of the first clamping block 4. When the user needs to use the handheld toll collection device body 1, by sliding the first sliding buckle 6 along the inner wall of the first limiting shell 5, the device can be used to collect tolls. The first clamps 4 on both sides are released, allowing them to unfold to the sides. The user then rotates the first protective shell 2 via a pivot at one end of the handheld fare collection device 1 to unfold it, revealing the control panel of the handheld fare collection device 1 for operation. The first protective shell 2 covers the handheld fare collection device 1, effectively protecting it from damage caused by external impacts when not in use, extending its lifespan, and ensuring it remains in good condition when needed. A first through-hole is provided on one side of the first sliding buckle 6. A first guide rod 8 is installed inside the first through hole 7 and the first limiting shell 5. The surface of the first guide rod 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first through hole 7. When the user moves the first sliding buckle 6, the first through hole 7 on one side of the first sliding buckle 6 fixes the movement trajectory of the first sliding buckle 6 to the first guide rod 8, preventing the first sliding buckle 6 from shifting during movement. A first spring 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the first sliding buckle 6, and one end of the first spring 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the first limiting shell 5. When the user moves the first sliding buckle 6, the first limiting shell 5 releases the restriction of the first clamping block 4, allowing the first clamping blocks 4 on both sides to unfold to the sides. The first sliding buckle 6 compresses the first spring 9, causing the first spring 9 to store pressure. When the user needs the first sliding buckle 6 to return to its original position to restrict the first clamping block 4, the first sliding buckle 6 is released, causing the first spring 9 to release and rebound, pushing the first sliding buckle 6 back to its original position. The first spring 9 provides the function of automatic reset of the first sliding buckle 6, reducing the operation steps of the device. Both sides of the inner wall of the first protective shell 2 are provided with a first limiting block 16 slidably connected to the inner wall of the first limiting groove 10. One side of the first limiting block 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the handheld payment machine body 1. The first limiting block 16 prevents the handheld payment machine body 1 from shaking when inside the first protective shell 2 due to the user's movement, thus preventing damage caused by the collision between the handheld payment machine body 1 and the inner wall of the first protective shell 2.
[0023] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in this embodiment: an external touchscreen 11 is installed inside the first protective shell 2; a transmission port 12 is installed at one end of the handheld payment terminal body 1; and a transmission port 13 is installed at one end of the first protective shell 2. After the user covers the handheld payment terminal body 1 with the first protective shell 2 and connects it to the transmission port 12 and transmission port 13 via a data cable, the user can operate the device through the external touchscreen 11 installed inside the first protective shell 2. This reduces the number of steps the user needs to take when using the device, allowing the user to operate the device while simultaneously protecting the handheld payment terminal body 1 with the first protective shell 2. To improve the operation and usability of the device, a hand guard 14 is installed on one side of the first protective shell 2. When the user uses the handheld toll collection machine 1, the hand guard 14 allows for a stable grip on the device with one hand and protects the user's hand, making it more convenient and safer for the user to use the device. A signal light 15 is also installed on one side of the first protective shell 2. When the user uses the handheld device to collect tolls from vehicles on the road, the signal light 15 will flash to signal the toll-collecting vehicle, allowing the driver to see the user in low visibility conditions. The signal light 15 can improve the safety of the user when using the device.
[0024] Working principle:
[0025] Step one: The user slides the first sliding buckle 6 to release the restriction of the first limiting shell 5 on the first clamping blocks 4 on both sides. This allows the first clamping blocks 4 to unfold to both sides. Then, the first protective shell 2 is rotated by the pivot at one end of the handheld payment machine body 1 to unfold it, thereby exposing the operation panel for the user to operate. When the device is not in use, the first protective shell 2 can cover the handheld payment machine body 1, providing effective protection against damage caused by collisions with external objects. During the movement of the first sliding buckle 6, the first through hole 7 on one side of the first sliding buckle 6 will move along the first guide rod 8. When the first sliding buckle 6 moves and releases the restriction on the first clamping blocks 4, the first sliding buckle 6 will compress the first spring 9, storing its force. When the user needs the first sliding buckle 6 to return to its original position to restrict the first clamping blocks 4, simply release it. The first sliding buckle 6 and the first spring 9 will release and rebound, pushing the first sliding buckle 6 back to its original position to achieve automatic reset. The user can rotate the first clamping block 4 through the pivot to insert its inner wall into one end of the first limiting groove 10. The design of the first limiting groove 10 at both ends of the T-shaped pin block 3 makes the insertion of the first clamping block 4 and the first limiting shell 5 smoother, simplifying the operation process. In addition, the first limiting groove 10 can also reduce the wear caused by the insertion of the two ends of the T-shaped pin block 3 and the first clamping block 4, thereby extending the service life of the components. When the first protective shell 2 is closed with the handheld toll machine body 1, the first limiting block 16 is restricted in the first limiting groove 10, so that the handheld toll machine body 1 will not shake in the first protective shell 2, ensuring the stability of the handheld toll machine body 1 in the first protective shell 2.
[0026] Step two: When using the handheld toll collection machine 1, the user can connect the transmission port 12 to the drive port 13 via a data cable, and then operate it using the external touch screen 11 installed inside the first protective shell 2. In this way, even if the first protective shell 2 covers the handheld toll collection machine 1, the user can perform simple basic operations on the device through the external touch screen 11. When using the handheld toll collection machine 1, the user can hold the device securely with one hand using the hand guard 14, which can protect the user's hand. The surface of the first protective shell 2 is coated with an acrylic polyurethane coating, which can effectively resist the corrosion of ultraviolet rays, oxidation and chemicals, has low volatility, can still maintain bright color after long-term use, and has good wear resistance. The traffic light 15 can make the user visible in low visibility road conditions, improving the safety of the user when operating the device.
[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is 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.
