[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0032] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0033] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a CPC card receiving device, which is installed at a suitable location in front of the exit gate of a highway, preferably on a trapezoidal platform on both sides of the toll station road; it includes: a base 20 and a housing 10 disposed on the base 20, wherein the base 20 is provided with a card receiving mechanism 30 and a card receiving compartment 40; wherein,

[0034] The housing 10 is provided with an insertion port 11 for inserting CPC cards and a dropping port 12 for the inserted CPC cards to fall onto the card receiving mechanism 30. The insertion port 11 faces the toll lane and is relatively large with an upward angle, so that the driver can easily insert the CPC card into the housing in a forward, upward, or backward direction. The dropping port 12 is located at the bottom of the housing 10, and the CPC card inserted into the housing 10 can slide freely on the arc-shaped inner wall to the position of the dropping port. The housing 10 has an upper scanning dock 13 for QR code payment at the top and a lower scanning dock 14 for QR code payment at the bottom. Preferably, there are two upper and lower scanning docks 13 and 14 arranged horizontally. The upper scanning dock 13 is arranged at a height that is convenient for drivers of large vehicles (such as trucks, tour buses, etc.) to scan and pay, and the lower scanning dock 14 is arranged at a height that is convenient for drivers of small vehicles (such as cars, SUVs, etc.). The specific height requirement is selected according to actual needs. In addition, the upper and lower scanning docks are preferably existing high-definition wide-angle scanning docks.

[0035] like Figure 2As shown, the card receiving mechanism 30 includes a flip plate 33 and a motor 32 that drives the flip plate 33 to flip. The flip plate 33 is rotatably mounted on the housing 31. Specifically, the flip plate 33 has a flip shaft along its axial direction, and both ends of the flip shaft are rotatably mounted on the housing 31 through bearings. The motor 32 is installed inside the housing 31, and the output shaft of the motor 32 meshes with the driven gear on the flip shaft of the flip plate 33 through a main gear. Based on the rotation of the motor 32, the flip plate 33 is controlled to flip. The CPC card falling through the drop port 12 lands on the flip plate 33. The flip plate 33 is equipped with a sensor 34 for detecting the presence of a CPC card on the flip plate and a card reader for reading the information in the CPC card. After the CPC card is read, the motor 32 controls the flip plate 33 to flip, so that the CPC card falls into the card receiving compartment 40 below. Furthermore, the motor 32 controls the flipping plate 33 to flip from 0 to 90°. When the flipping plate 33 flips to a certain angle, the CPC card on the flipping plate 33 can slide into the inner cavity of the housing below the flipping plate 33 and enter the card receiving compartment 40 below the card receiving mechanism connected to the inner cavity of the housing. Furthermore, after the motor 32 controls the flipping plate 33 to a preset angle, it is reset to a horizontal state so as to receive the CPC card inserted by the driver of the next vehicle. Specifically, sensor 34 is installed on the front of the flip plate 33, and the sensing area of ​​sensor 34 covers the area below the drop port 12. Sensor 34 is used to sense whether an object has fallen on the flip plate, that is, to detect that the CPC card has been inserted into the mechanism. The card reader is located on the back of the flip plate 33 and is used to read the information of the CPC card on the flip plate 33. Sensor 34 and card reader are connected to the main control board 35 of the card receiving mechanism 30 and are used to control the card reader to read the information of the CPC card when sensor 34 senses that an object has fallen on the flip plate 33. The main control board 35 of the card receiving mechanism 30 is connected to the lane industrial control computer, the upper scanning terminal 13 and the lower scanning terminal 14. The lane industrial control computer is used to generate billing information based on the information read by the card reader and to scan the payment code displayed by the user through the upper scanning terminal 13 or the lower scanning terminal 14 to collect payment. After the payment is completed, the exit gate is automatically opened.

[0036] like Figure 3As shown, the card receiving compartment 40 of this utility model may further include a good card box 41 and a bad card box 42. When the card reader reads CPC card information, the motor 32 controls the flip plate 33 to flip clockwise so that the CPC card falls into the good card box 41 below; when the card reader does not read CPC card information, the motor 32 controls the flip plate 33 to flip counterclockwise so that the CPC card falls into the bad card box 42 below. Furthermore, the card receiving compartment 40 has a partition in the middle to divide it into a good card box 41 and a bad card box 42; or, the good card box 41 and the bad card box 42 are independent pull-out structures set in different compartments separated by the partition in the card receiving compartment; the clockwise rotation angle of the flip plate 33 is 0 to 90°, and the counterclockwise rotation angle of the flip plate 33 is 0 to -90°; when the flip plate is rotated 90° (the flip plate is set vertically), the lower edge of the flip plate abuts against or is higher than the partition, and the height is not greater than the size of the CPC card, so as to ensure that the CPC card can be accurately stored in the corresponding card box.

[0037] It should be noted that: after reading the information from the CPC card, billing, QR code payment, and control of the opening of the exit gate are all based on the read information. This is a conventional control method and structure, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0038] At the same time, such as Figure 1 As shown, the housing 10 of this utility model has a door 18 at the front, and a "tap-to-pay" device 17 is embedded in the door 18; the "tap-to-pay" device 17 can be an Alipay "tap-to-pay" device; when the driver inserts the card and completes the card collection, the payment is completed by touching the mobile phone to the "tap-to-pay" device on the CPC card collection device. Furthermore, the center of the cargo door 18 features an embedded window for a "tap-to-pay" device 17. The "tap-to-pay" device 17 is fixed inside the cargo door 18, with its main unit located within the cargo compartment inside the door 18. The payment terminal of the "tap-to-pay" device 17 is positioned at the window. The cargo door 18 and the cargo compartment are connected via a telescopic module, driven by a mechanism (motor, etc.). When the toll collector enters the license plate number, vehicle type, and confirms the payment amount, the system automatically triggers the telescopic device, ensuring a smooth and efficient payment process. Alternatively, after the driver inserts their card and the system recognizes the relevant payment information, the "tap-to-pay" device 17 automatically pops out via the drive mechanism, facilitating payment. A distance sensor can also be added to the housing 10, automatically stopping the extension when the device approaches the vehicle window to avoid collisions and improve the user experience. Furthermore, the "tap-to-pay" device 17 uses an embedded module, allowing it to be directly embedded into the cargo door, replacing the front cargo door during retrofitting. Existing power and communication lines are utilized, reducing the need for additional wiring.
