Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transportation equipment, specifically to a gate device for an unmanned toll station on a highway. Background Technology

[0002] With the gradual implementation of unmanned operation at highway toll stations, the lack of human intervention has led some drivers to follow closely behind the vehicle in front, taking advantage of the time gap between the raising and lowering of the lane barrier after the vehicle in front pays its toll, and speeding up to evade the toll.

[0003] Existing technologies mainly rely on geomagnetic induction coils, infrared beam detectors, or video recognition to detect vehicles following behind. However, these methods are still insufficient to combat situations where following vehicles accelerate to evade tolls. Some toll stations have attempted to alleviate the problem by adding physical barriers or speed bumps to reduce vehicle speed, but these methods have not been effective in curbing toll evasion. This is mainly because, to ensure traffic efficiency, it is not advisable to use multiple barriers for segmented passage in a single lane at highway toll stations. Therefore, conventional methods cannot effectively separate the distance between vehicles and thus prevent toll evasion.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of highway tollbooth barrier device that can effectively separate paying vehicles from following vehicles through physical means, thereby preventing similar toll evasion. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a barrier gate device for unmanned toll stations on highways, which effectively isolates toll-paying vehicles from following vehicles through physical means, thereby preventing similar toll evasion.

[0006] To achieve these objectives and other advantages of this utility model, a highway unmanned tollbooth barrier device is provided, comprising a road body and a toll payment machine and a toll gate disposed on the side of the road body, including: a pressing device disposed in the road body corresponding to the toll payment machine, the pressing device including a pressing platform, the side of the pressing platform away from the toll gate being hinged to the road body, the other side of the pressing platform being raised upwards, and a main airbag disposed below the pressing platform, wherein when the pressing platform is subjected to pressure, the pressing platform rotates to a horizontal position and compresses the main airbag; and a lifting column disposed in the road body away from the pressing device and the toll gate, the lifting column including a column airbag, the column airbag being connected to the main airbag air passage, wherein when the main airbag is compressed, the column airbag inflates and stands upright.

[0007] Preferably, the pressing platform includes a first overhead platform and a first platform frame connected vertically. The road body is recessed at the position corresponding to the pressing device. Ground beams are provided on both sides of the recessed area. Ground beams are provided on the ground beams. The first platform frame is rotatably connected to the ground beam hinges. The main airbag is located in the recessed area between the ground beams. When the pressing platform is raised, it does not contact the ground beams and the main airbag. When the pressing platform is pressed, it is supported by the ground beams, and the main airbag is compressed.

[0008] Preferably, a plurality of elastic reset structures are provided below the pressing platform.

[0009] Preferably, the elastic reset structure is a spring.

[0010] Preferably, the pressing platform is rotatably connected to an extension platform on the side near the toll gate, and the other side of the extension platform hangs down naturally and contacts the ground beam. When the pressing platform is pressed to a horizontal position, the extension platform rotates to a horizontal position and is supported by the ground beam.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the first platform frame is provided with a downward protrusion corresponding to the position of the main airbag, wherein when the downward platform is raised, the bottom of the downward protrusion contacts the main airbag.

[0012] Preferably, the lifting column includes a pre-embedded cylinder embedded in the road body. A middle cylinder, an upper cylinder, and the column airbag are sequentially sleeved inside the pre-embedded cylinder. The top of the column airbag is fixed to the inner side of the top of the upper cylinder, and the bottom of the column airbag is fixed to the bottom plate of the pre-embedded cylinder. When the column airbag is inflated, the upper cylinder and the middle cylinder are sleeved inside the pre-embedded cylinder, and the top surface of the upper cylinder is not higher than the road body. When the column airbag is inflated, the upper cylinder is pushed out of the road body by the column airbag. The upper and lower edges of the middle cylinder are respectively engaged with the bottom edge of the upper cylinder and the top edge of the pre-embedded cylinder.

[0013] Preferably, a top counterweight is provided at the top of the upper cylinder.

[0014] Preferably, the columnar airbag is corrugated tubular.

[0015] Preferably, the upper and middle cylinders are made of hard plastic shells.

[0016] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0017] This invention utilizes a toll-paying vehicle driving on a pressing device, which compresses the main airbag. The air stored in the main airbag is forced into the column airbag, which lifts the lifting column, blocking following vehicles. After the preceding vehicle finishes paying and passes the toll gate, the pressing device lifts up, and the lifting column returns to its original position under its own weight, allowing following vehicles to pass. This effectively prevents drivers from tailgating the vehicle intending to evade tolls.

[0018] Other advantages, objectives and features of this invention will be partly apparent from the following description, and partly understood by those skilled in the art through study and practice of this invention. Attached Figure Description

[0032] like Figure 1-9As shown, the technical solution of this application provides a highway unmanned toll gate device, including a road body 2 and a toll machine 11 and a toll gate 12 disposed on the side of the road body 2. The device includes: a pressing device 3 disposed in the road body 2 corresponding to the toll machine 11; the pressing device 3 includes a pressing platform 31, one side of the pressing platform 31 away from the toll gate 12 is hinged to the road body 2, and the other side of the pressing platform 31 is raised upwards; a main airbag 4 is disposed below the pressing platform 31; wherein, when pressure is applied to the pressing platform 31, the pressing platform 31 rotates to a horizontal position and the main airbag 4 is compressed; and a lifting column 5 disposed in the road body 2 away from the pressing device 3 and the toll gate 12; the lifting column 5 includes a column airbag 50, the column airbag 50 being connected to the main airbag 4 via an air passage; wherein, when the main airbag 4 is compressed, the column airbag 50 inflates and stands upright. In this technical solution, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, when the pressure device 3 is not under pressure, it remains in an upward state, with its side away from the toll gate 12 flush with the road body 2. Springs or other elastic components can be installed under the pressure device 3 to ensure it is raised. The main airbag 4 is also in a state of no or minimal force at this time. The air pressure inside the column airbag 50 is insufficient to push the lifting column 5 from under the road body 2, leaving the road body 2 unobstructed. When the vehicle 1 moves forward and travels on the pressure platform 31, the pressure platform 31 changes from an inclined state to a horizontal state. The main airbag 4 is compressed and pushes its internal gas into the column airbag 50. The column airbag 50 pushes the lifting column 5 out from under the road body 2, forming a temporary roadblock behind the vehicle 1 that is paying the toll. The connecting pipes between the column airbag 50, the main airbag 4, and the column airbag 50 remain airtight. Multiple pipes can be installed between the main airbag 4 and the column airbag 50 in conjunction with a one-way valve to achieve better airflow transmission.

[0033] In this technical solution, such as Figure 2 (c) Figure 2 As shown in (d), when the vehicle in front 1 is driving normally on the pressure device 3, its position corresponds exactly to the payment machine 11. When the driver of the vehicle in front performs the payment operation on the payment machine 11, the vehicle 1 is always on the pressure device 3. The column airbag 50 and the lifting column 5 form a temporary roadblock behind the vehicle. Only after the driver of the vehicle in front finishes paying and starts the vehicle to pass through the toll gate 12 will the vehicle completely leave the pressure device 3. The main airbag 4 will no longer be compressed, and the gas in the column airbag 50 will flow back into the main airbag 4. The lifting column 5 will fall. During this entire process, unless the vehicle behind 1 maliciously damages the lifting column 5, it will not be able to pass before the vehicle in front 1 has completely left the pressure device 3, effectively solving the problem of evading tolls by following other vehicles.

[0034] In another technical solution, the pressing platform 31 includes a first overhead platform 311 and a first platform frame 312 connected vertically. The road body 2 is recessed at the position corresponding to the pressing device 3. Ground beams 7 are provided on both sides of the recessed area. Ground beams 7 are provided on the ground beams 7. The first platform frame 312 is rotatably connected to the ground beam hinges 70. The main airbag 4 is located in the recessed area between the ground beams 7. When the pressing platform 31 is raised, it does not contact the ground beams 7 and the main airbag 4. When the pressing platform 31 is compressed, it is supported by the ground beams 7, and the main airbag 4 is compressed. In this technical solution, as... Figure 4 As shown, the ground beam hinge 70 is a plate with a hinge hole. The first platform frame 312 has a platform frame hinge hole 313, which is rotatably connected to the ground beam hinge 70. The first platform frame 312 can rotate around its hinge point with the ground beam 7. The first platform frame 312 is a steel structure frame with good rigidity. The first traveling plate 311 is installed on the top of the first platform frame 312 for vehicle travel. The lower pressure plate 314 is installed on the bottom of the first platform frame 312 for pressing the main airbag 4 when rotating. When the first platform frame 312 is under pressure, the entire first platform frame 312 is supported by the ground beam 7. After the pressure is released, it returns to the raised state under the action of the elastic structure such as springs provided below.

[0035] In another technical solution, a plurality of elastic reset structures 6 are provided below the pressure platform 31. The top of the elastic reset structure 6 abuts against the first platform frame 312 and does not conflict with the position of the ground beam 7 and the main airbag 4.

[0036] In another technical solution, the elastic reset structure 6 is a spring. Optionally, the elastic reset structure 6 can also be an elastic element such as a tower spring or a torsion spring, or a device such as a damping reset device.

[0037] In another technical solution, an extension platform 32 is rotatably connected to the side of the pressing platform 31 near the toll gate 12. The other side of the extension platform 32 hangs down naturally and contacts the ground beam 7. When the pressing platform 31 is pressed into a horizontal position, the extension platform 32 rotates to a horizontal position and is supported by the ground beam 7. In this technical solution, if the pressing platform 31 immediately rises after the rear wheels of vehicle 1 leave the pressing platform 31, it is easy to collide with the rear of vehicle 1 during the lifting process, causing damage to the vehicle. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the extension platform 32 includes a second traveling plate 321 and a second platform frame 322. The first platform frame 312 is provided with a plurality of first ear plates 316, and the second platform frame 322 is provided with a plurality of second ear plates 323. The first ear plates 316 and the second ear plates 323 are hinged together by a pin. When the pressing platform 31 is lifted, the second platform frame 322 tilts so that one side falls onto the ground beam 7. When the pressing platform 31 is pressed and rotates to a horizontal position, the extension platform 32 rotates to a horizontal position and is also supported by the ground beam 7. When the rear wheel of the vehicle 1 on the pressing device 3 drives from the pressing platform 31 onto the extension platform 32, the extension platform 32 is pressed onto the ground beam 7. Since the pressing platform 31 is hinged to the extension platform 32, it also remains horizontal until the rear wheel of the vehicle 1 has completely passed the extension platform. Only then does the pressing platform 31 lift up again under the action of the elastic reset mechanism 6. At this time, the lifting column 5 falls, and the vehicle 1 behind can drive onto the pressing platform 31 again.

[0038] In another technical solution, a downward protrusion 315 is provided at the bottom of the first platform frame 31 corresponding to the position of the main airbag 4. When the downward platform 31 is raised, the bottom of the downward protrusion 315 contacts the main airbag 4. Figure 3 As shown, the downward pressure platform 31 has a small lifting angle. In order to better press the main airbag 4 after turning to the horizontal position, a downward pressure protrusion 315 is provided. The downward pressure protrusion 315 is made of rigid plates spliced ​​together.

[0039] In another technical solution, the lifting column 5 includes a pre-embedded cylinder 51 embedded in the road body 2. A middle cylinder 52, an upper cylinder 53, and the column airbag 50 are sequentially fitted inside the pre-embedded cylinder 51. The top of the column airbag 50 is fixed to the inner side of the top of the upper cylinder 53, and the bottom of the column airbag 50 is fixed to the bottom plate of the pre-embedded cylinder 51. When the column airbag 50 contracts, the upper cylinder 53 and the middle cylinder 52 are fitted inside the pre-embedded cylinder 51. The top surface of the upper cylinder 53 is not higher than the road body 2. When the column airbag 50 is inflated, the upper cylinder 53 is pushed out of the road body 2 by the column airbag 50. The upper and lower edges of the middle cylinder 52 are respectively engaged with the bottom edge of the upper cylinder 53 and the top edge of the pre-embedded cylinder 51. In this technology, the pre-embedded cylinder 51 is buried inside the road body 2. The pre-embedded cylinder 51 is a cylinder with an open top and a closed bottom. The bottom of the pre-embedded cylinder 51 is the pre-embedded cylinder bottom plate 511, and the top of the pre-embedded cylinder 51 extends inward. There is a pre-embedded upper edge plate 512. The diameter of the middle cylinder 52 is matched with the pre-embedded upper edge plate 512. The upper and lower edges of the middle cylinder 52 are respectively provided with an inward-facing upper edge plate 522 and an outward-facing lower edge plate 521. The top of the upper cylinder 53 is closed and matches the upper edge plate 522 of the middle cylinder. The bottom edge of the upper cylinder 53 is provided with an outward-facing lower edge plate 531. When the top and bottom of the column airbag 50 are... The top of the upper cylinder 53 and the bottom plate 511 of the pre-embedded cylinder are connected respectively. When the main airbag 4 is not compressed, the air pressure in the column airbag 50 is insufficient to lift the upper cylinder 53. The upper cylinder 53 and the middle cylinder 51 are contracted inside the pre-embedded cylinder 51. When the main airbag 4 is compressed, the column airbag 50 pushes the upper cylinder 53 out of the road body 2. At this time, the upper edge plate 522 and the lower edge plate 521 of the middle cylinder are respectively locked onto the lower edge plate 531 of the upper cylinder and the upper edge plate 512 of the pre-embedded cylinder.

[0040] In another technical solution, a top counterweight 532 is provided on the top of the upper cylinder 53. In this technical solution, when the main airbag 4 is no longer under pressure, the column airbag 50 is no longer sufficient to support the upper cylinder 53, and the upper cylinder 53 and the middle cylinder 52 fall back into the pre-embedded cylinder 51 under the action of gravity.

[0041] In another technical solution, the columnar airbag 50 is corrugated. The corrugated columnar airbag 50 is easy to stack inside the pre-embedded cylinder 51, and it can grow vertically faster after being inflated. When the air pressure inside the columnar airbag 50 decreases and it is pressed down by the top counterweight 532, it is not easy to cause misalignment.

[0042] In another technical solution, the upper cylinder 53 and the middle cylinder 52 are made of hard plastic shells. Specifically, the purpose of this device is to temporarily block the following vehicle rather than to act as a vehicle stopper. In order to avoid damage to the vehicle and causing a safety accident in special circumstances, the upper cylinder 53 and the middle cylinder 52 that can extend out of the road body 2 are made of hard plastic shells. Even if the following vehicle fails to brake in time, it will only break the upper cylinder 53 and the middle cylinder 52 and will not cause a serious vehicle safety accident.

[0043] The number of devices and processing scale described herein are for the purpose of simplifying the description of this utility model. Applications, modifications, and variations of this utility model will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.

[0044] Although the embodiments of this utility model have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and embodiments. They can be applied to various fields suitable for this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other modifications can be easily made. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and their equivalents, this utility model is not limited to the specific details and the illustrations shown and described herein.
