Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of rail transit ticket recycling technology, and in particular relates to a single-journey ticket recycling mechanism device inside a turnstile. Background Technology
[0002] In rail transit systems, single-journey ticket collection is one of the important functions of exit gates. Traditional single-journey ticket collection mechanisms are typically complex in structure, including components such as ticket inlets, readers, control modules, conveying mechanisms, multiple sensors, and solenoid valves. This complex design not only increases manufacturing costs and maintenance difficulty but also easily leads to malfunctions such as ticket delays and jams, affecting the efficiency of the gates and the passenger travel experience.
[0003] Specifically, traditional single-journey ticket collection systems only determine validity after the ticket is inserted, resulting in slow processing speeds, especially during peak hours, which can easily lead to queues at the gates. Furthermore, the refund dispensers are not easily visible, making it difficult for passengers to find them when their tickets are invalid, further impacting throughput.
[0004] Meanwhile, due to the complex structure and numerous connecting cables of traditional recycling mechanisms, they occupy a large space inside the gate, limiting the appearance design of the gate.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design a single-journey ticket collection mechanism that is structurally simple, has a fast processing speed, and a low failure rate to improve the operational efficiency of rail transit systems and the travel experience of passengers. This utility model is proposed based on this background technology. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model. Specific Implementation Example 1:
[0032] Please see Figure 1-7 As shown, this utility model is a single-journey ticket recycling mechanism device inside a turnstile. The device utilizes the gravity of the single-journey ticket to fall into the transfer swing ticket chamber 2, uses an RFID card reader 4 to read the entry and exit information of the single-journey ticket, and controls the rotation of the transfer swing ticket chamber 2 through the drive motor 3 according to the prepaid fee of the single-journey ticket, so as to realize the function of recycling or returning the single-journey ticket.
[0033] Its structure includes a frame 1, a transfer swing ticket chamber 2, a drive motor 3, an RFID card reader / writer 4, and a recycling bin 5. The frame 1 includes a rectangular frame plate 11. The upper end of the rectangular frame plate 11 has a ticket inlet 12 corresponding to the ticket recycling slot at the upper end of the turnstile. Rectangular strips 13 are fixed between the two side walls of the rectangular frame plate 11, and the rectangular strips 13 are located directly below the ticket inlet 12. A rotating shaft mounting hole is provided on one side wall of the rectangular frame plate 11. One end of the transfer swing ticket chamber 2 is rotatably fitted with the rotating shaft mounting hole. The drive motor 3 is mounted on the other side wall of the rectangular frame plate 11, and the output shaft of the drive motor 3 passes through the rectangular frame plate 11 and is inserted into the opposite end of the transfer swing ticket chamber 2. When the transfer swing ticket chamber 2 is in a vertical position, its lower end is completely projected onto the rectangular strip 13, ensuring that the single-journey ticket will not fall off before the drive motor 3 drives it to rotate after the single-journey ticket enters the transfer swing ticket chamber 2. A pair of photoelectric switches 6 are installed on the lower end of the opposite side wall of the rectangular frame plate 11 when the transfer swing ticket chamber 2 is in the vertical state. The pair of photoelectric switches 6 are used to determine that the transfer swing ticket chamber 2 is in the correct position when it rotates. A card ejection plate storage slot 15 is fixed on the opposite inner wall of the rectangular frame plate 11 on one side of the rectangular strip 13 for temporarily storing single-journey tickets that do not meet the exit conditions. A first mounting bracket 16 for installing an RFID card reader 4 is fixed on the opposite inner wall of the rectangular frame plate 11 on the other side of the rectangular strip 13 for reading the entry and exit information of single-journey tickets. A recycling bin 5 is placed on the bottom wall between the two walls of the rectangular frame plate 11 for recycling single-journey tickets that meet the exit conditions. The rectangular frame plate 11 is fixed inside the gate box of the subway exit. The ticket recycling slot opened above the gate box corresponds to the ticket entry slot 12. The gate box also has a ticket retrieval slot corresponding to the position of the card ejection plate storage slot 15. A door is provided on the side wall of the gate control box near the recycling bin 5 for easy access.
[0034] To limit the extreme positions of the swinging motion of the transfer swinging ticket chamber 2, a second mounting bracket 17 is fixed to one side wall of the rectangular frame plate 11. The second mounting bracket 17 is located above the card ejection plate storage slot 15. A first limit switch 7 is installed on the second mounting bracket 17. A third mounting bracket 18 is fixed to one side wall of the rectangular frame plate 11. The third mounting bracket 18 is located between the RFID card reader / writer 4 and the transfer swinging ticket chamber 2. A second limit switch 8 is installed on the third mounting bracket 18.
[0035] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, in order to prevent users from accidentally touching other mechanisms in the recycling mechanism when picking up returned one-way tickets, a baffle plate 19 is fixed on the inner wall of the rectangular frame plate 11 above the card return folding plate temporary storage slot 15, and is set inward and downward.
[0036] The transfer swing ticket compartment 2 specifically includes a rectangular guide tube 21 with a wider opening at the top and a narrower opening at the bottom. A rotating shaft 22, which mates with a mounting hole, is fixed to the upper half of one end of the rectangular guide tube 21. A limit ring 23 is fixed to the rotating shaft 22. A rotating shaft connecting cylinder 24, which plugs into the output shaft of the drive motor 3, is also fixed to the upper half of one end of the rectangular guide tube 21, thus connecting to the drive motor 3. The end of the output shaft of the drive motor 3 has a semi-cylindrical structure, and the interior of the rotating shaft connecting cylinder 24 has a semi-cylindrical hole structure that mates with it.
[0037] The recycling bin 5 includes a rectangular box 51. A C-shaped protective plate 52 is fixed to the upper end of the side wall of the rectangular box 51 away from the card ejection plate storage slot 15 and the adjacent side walls to prevent single-journey tickets output during the rotation of the transfer swing ticket chamber 2 from being thrown out of the receiving area of the rectangular box 51. Two handles 53 are installed on the outer wall of the rectangular box 51 away from the card ejection plate storage slot 15 for taking out and putting in the recycling bin 5.
[0038] To ensure the stability of the placement of the recycling bin 5, a limiting strip 14 is fixed at each end of the through hole at the lower end of the rectangular frame plate 11.
[0039] Working principle of the single-journey ticket collection mechanism:
[0040] Single-journey ticket insertion: Passengers insert their single-journey tickets into the ticket collection slot at the top of the gate. The single-journey tickets fall into the transfer swing ticket compartment 2 through the ticket entry slot 12.
[0041] Information reading: The RFID card reader 4 reads the entry and exit information of the single-journey ticket and transmits the information to the gate control system.
[0042] Fee Determination and Processing: The gate control system determines whether a single-journey ticket meets the exit conditions based on the prepaid fee. If it does, the drive motor 3 controls the lower end of the transfer swing ticket chamber 2 to turn away from the card return plate storage slot 15, and the single-journey ticket falls into the collection box 5 for recycling under gravity. Simultaneously, the gate opens, allowing the passenger to exit, and the drive motor 3 controls the transfer swing ticket chamber 2 to swing back to its original position. If the exit conditions are not met, the drive motor 3 also controls the lower end of the transfer swing ticket chamber 2 to turn away from the card return plate storage slot 15, but this time the single-journey ticket is guided into the card return plate storage slot 15 for the passenger to retrieve, and the drive motor 3 controls the transfer swing ticket chamber 2 to swing back to its original position.
