Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of highway toll collection technology, and more specifically, to a robotic arm-type toll collection robot. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, traditional highway toll collection methods mainly include manual toll collection and ETC (Electronic Toll Collection). Manual toll collection typically requires vehicles to obtain a toll card before entering the highway, and then return the card and pay the toll before exiting.

[0003] Currently, manual toll booths on highways typically require drivers to take a toll card first. After paying the toll, the card needs to be returned. However, because the card collection machine is located in a fixed position and the parking location is remote, there is often a situation where the distance is insufficient to return the card, requiring drivers to get out of the car to complete the return operation. This prolongs the card return time and affects efficiency. Therefore, there is a need for a robotic arm-type toll payment robot that can facilitate card return. Based on this, we propose a robotic arm-type toll payment robot. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, adapt to the needs of reality, and provide a robotic arm payment robot to solve the technical problem that the current card collection machine has a fixed position, which results in the card collection position being fixed and the card cannot be directly inserted into the card collection position, thus affecting the card return efficiency.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a robotic arm payment robot, including a card collector body, a servo motor installed inside one side of the card collector body, an extension arm fixedly installed at the output end of the servo motor, a card receiving box for collecting cards installed at the side end of the extension arm, an L-shaped fixing plate fixedly provided on the side of the extension arm, and a locking component that is rotatably connected to the card receiving box fixedly provided on the side of the extension arm facing the fixing plate.

[0006] Both sides of the card receiving box are fixed with rotating blocks that are connected to the fixing plate, and the bottom of the rotating blocks is fixed with a gravity ball.

[0007] This invention uses a servo motor to control the extension arm to tilt and adjust the height of the card receiving box, allowing it to be extended to a position near the vehicle window for easy card return by drivers. The card receiving box is rotatably connected to the card holder via a rotating block, enabling it to automatically tilt and adjust its angle during the tilting and raising process. The addition of a gravity ball design increases the weight at the bottom, ensuring the card receiving box's return port remains in an upward position for easy card return. This structure eliminates the need to get out of the vehicle to return cards, improving efficiency.

[0008] Preferably, the locking component includes a base, the top of which is integrally formed with two elastic clamping arms, and the two clamping arms have the same outer shape as the rotating block, and the facing end angles of the two clamping arms are rounded corners.

[0009] Preferably, both ends of the base are provided with movable grooves, and a stop bar that fits against the side of the clamping arm is movably installed inside the movable groove. A base plate is fixedly connected between the bottom ends of the two stop bars, and both ends of the base plate are fixedly provided with limiting members that engage with the ends of the base.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting member includes an L-shaped elastic plate, the top of which is integrally formed with an arc-shaped locking block, and the side of the elastic plate opposite to the arc-shaped locking block is integrally formed with a force strip.

[0011] Preferably, both ends of the base are provided with slots for engaging with the arc-shaped locking blocks, and the cross-sectional shape of the slots is C-shaped.

[0012] Preferably, an L-shaped limiting plate is fixedly provided on the top side of the fixing plate, and the bottom surface of the side end of the limiting plate is in contact with the top side of the card receiving box.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This utility model uses a servo motor to control the extension arm to rotate and adjust the height of the card receiving box, thereby extending the card receiving box to a position close to the vehicle window, making it easy for drivers to return the cards. The card receiving box is rotatably connected to the card holder through a rotating block, allowing it to automatically rotate and adjust its angle during the rotation and raising process. The design of the gravity ball increases the weight at the bottom, ensuring that the card receiving box's return port remains in an upward position, facilitating card return. This structure eliminates the need to get out of the vehicle to return the cards, improving card return efficiency.

[0015] 2. This utility model also facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the card receiving box through the design of the clamping and rotating block of the locking component. The setting of the limiting component can limit the position of the clamping arm to prevent it from deflecting and maintain the stability of the card receiving box installation. The arc-shaped locking block and the locking groove make it easy to release the limiting of the clamping arm. Such a structural combination can improve the stability of the installation position while facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the card receiving box and enhance the structural cooperation effect.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model relates to a robotic arm payment robot, including a card collector body 1. A servo motor 2 is installed inside one side of the card collector body 1. An extension arm 3 is fixedly installed at the output end of the servo motor 2. A card receiving box 4 for collecting cards is installed at the side end of the extension arm 3. An L-shaped fixing plate 5 is fixedly provided on the side of the extension arm 3. A locking member 6 that is rotatably connected to the card receiving box 4 is fixedly provided on the side of the extension arm 3 facing the fixing plate 5. The servo motor 2 is a prior art structure, usually controlled by a servo motor, which facilitates the control of the extension arm 3 to rotate. The card receiving box 4 is rotatably connected between the extension arm 3 and the fixing plate 5 and can adjust its angle by itself, so that the top surface can be kept facing upward during the rotation of the extension arm 3.

[0025] Both sides of the card receiving box 4 are fixed with rotating blocks 401 that are combined with the fixing plate 5. The bottom of the rotating block 401 is fixed with a gravity ball 402. The rotating block 401 is designed to facilitate rotation and angle adjustment. The gravity ball 402 can increase the weight at the bottom, so that the center of gravity is downward and the vertical state is maintained.

[0026] In an embodiment of this utility model, the locking component 6 includes a base 601. The top of the base 601 is integrally formed with two elastic clamping arms 602, and the two clamping arms 602 have the same outer shape as the rotating block 401. The facing end angles of the two clamping arms 602 are both rounded corners 603. When the two clamping arms 602 are squeezed by the rotating block 401, they can bend outward, thereby expanding the size between the two clamping arms 602, making it easier for the card box 4 to be inserted. The rounded corners 603 can reduce the resistance of the rotating block 401 pressing down, making installation and operation convenient.

[0027] In this embodiment of the utility model, both ends of the base 601 are provided with movable grooves. Inside the movable grooves, a stop bar 604 that fits against the side of the clamping arm 602 is movably installed. A base plate 605 is fixedly connected between the bottom ends of the two stop bars 604. Both ends of the base plate 605 are fixedly provided with limiting members 7 that engage with the ends of the base 601. The movable stop bar 604 can be separated from the clamping arm 602 when the card receiving box 4 is installed. After the card receiving box 4 is installed, it can be moved to a position that fits against the clamping arm 602. This improves the limiting strength without affecting the installation of the card receiving box 4 and maintains the stability of the position of the card receiving box 4 during use. The setting of the limiting member 7 makes it easy to restrict the position of the stop bar 604.

[0028] In an embodiment of this utility model, the limiting member 7 includes an L-shaped elastic plate 701, with an arc-shaped locking block 702 integrally formed at the top of the elastic plate 701, and a force strip 703 integrally formed on the side of the elastic plate 701 away from the arc-shaped locking block 702; the characteristic that the elastic plate 701 is easily bent when squeezed can facilitate the adjustment of the position of the arc-shaped locking block 702, and pressing the force strip 703 can make the elastic plate 701 tilt, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the position of the arc-shaped locking block 702.

[0029] In the embodiments of this utility model, both ends of the base 601 are provided with a locking groove 606 that engages with the arc-shaped locking block 702, and the cross-sectional shape of the locking groove 606 is C-shaped; the position of the stop strip 604 can be limited by the arc-shaped locking block 702 being inserted into the locking groove 606, and the C-shape can improve the fit between the two and increase the limiting contact surface.

[0030] In an embodiment of this utility model, an L-shaped limiting plate 501 is fixedly provided on the top side of the fixing plate 5, and the bottom surface of the side end of the limiting plate 501 is in contact with the top side of the card receiving box 4; by setting the limiting plate 501, it can be in contact with the top surface of the card receiving box 4 when the extension arm 3 moves to a position horizontally flush with the card receiving box 4, thereby limiting the position of the card receiving box 4.

[0031] Working Principle: This embodiment provides a robotic arm-type toll payment robot. When the vehicle stops in front of the barrier, the servo motor 2 can rotate the side of the extension arm 3 outwards. During this rotation, the angle of the extension arm 3 changes. Due to the rotatable connection between the card collection box 4 and the extension arm 3, the bottom of the card collection box 4 is kept facing each other under the action of the gravity ball 402, ensuring a stable top position. This allows the card collection box 4 to be moved to the car window position while maintaining the opening facing each other, making it convenient for the driver to insert the card into the card collection box 4 after paying the toll, thus completing the card return operation. This method eliminates the need to get out of the vehicle to return the card, improving efficiency. Simultaneously, this method allows the card collection box 4 to... Raising the card holder to the height of the truck window facilitates card return operations. The limiting plate 501 on the fixed edge of the fixed plate 5 fits against the top surface of the card receiving box 4 when the extension arm 3 moves to a position horizontal to the ground, thereby limiting the flipping position of the card receiving box 4. During continuous upward movement, the top opening can be kept facing upward, facilitating card return operations. The card receiving box 4, through the combination of the rotating block 401 and the card slot 6, allows for convenient and quick disassembly and assembly of the card receiving box 4, enabling timely replacement when it is full of toll cards. The limiting component 7 limits the position of the clamping arm 602 after the card receiving box 4 is installed, keeping it in contact with the rotating block 401, preventing bending and improving installation strength. In this way, the efficiency of card return can be improved with the cooperation of the overall structure.

Those skilled in the art can readily grasp the spirit of this utility model based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and variations. However, as long as they do not depart from the spirit of this utility model, they are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
