Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle payment technology, and in particular to a vehicle payment terminal that is easy to install and remove. Background Technology

[0002] In-vehicle payment terminals are intelligent transaction devices installed inside vehicles. They integrate multiple payment methods such as QR code payment, NFC payment, and biometric payment. Through interconnection with in-vehicle systems and payment platforms, they enable fast and seamless payments for scenarios such as parking fee payment, highway toll settlement, refueling and charging, and in-vehicle consumption. With their convenient and efficient payment experience, in-vehicle payment terminals not only optimize the user's travel process but also improve transportation service efficiency and promote the construction of a smart mobility ecosystem.

[0003] Current in-vehicle payment terminals on the market suffer from significant pain points in maintenance. Their casings typically employ a bolt-fastened design, requiring specialized tools to remove multiple bolts one by one to access the internal core components. This traditional disassembly and assembly method is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but also prone to problems such as stripped bolts and casing wear due to frequent disassembly and assembly, severely impacting maintenance efficiency and equipment lifespan. Furthermore, if maintenance personnel neglect to remove small parts, it could cause abnormal noises or potential safety hazards during vehicle travel, posing a dual challenge to after-sales maintenance and user experience. Therefore, we propose an in-vehicle payment terminal that is easy to disassemble and assemble to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 —5. This utility model will be described in further detail.

[0024] In this embodiment, to address the significant pain points in the maintenance and repair of current in-vehicle payment terminals on the market, their outer shells typically employ a bolt-fastened structure. During maintenance, multiple bolts must be disassembled one by one using specialized tools to open the shell and access the internal core components. This traditional disassembly and assembly method is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but also prone to problems such as stripped bolts and shell wear due to frequent disassembly and assembly, severely impacting maintenance efficiency and equipment lifespan. Furthermore, if maintenance personnel neglect to remove small parts, it could cause abnormal noises or potential safety hazards during vehicle travel, posing a dual challenge to after-sales maintenance and user experience. This utility model discloses an in-vehicle payment terminal that is easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0025] It includes a fixed shell 1, a mounting shell 2 inserted into the surface of the fixed shell 1, and disassembly components are provided on the inner side of the mounting shell 2 and inside the fixed shell 1;

[0026] The disassembly assembly includes a fixing frame 3. There are two fixing frames 3, which are symmetrically fixed on the inner walls of both sides of the fixing shell 1. Limiting sleeves 4 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of the front sides of the two fixing frames 3. A locking rod 5 is inserted into the limiting sleeve 4. A limiting block 6 is fixedly installed on the surface of the locking rod 5. A return spring 7 is sleeved on the outside of the locking rod 5. The return spring 7 is located between the limiting block 6 and the limiting sleeve 4. Locking blocks 8 are symmetrically fixed at both ends of the inner side of the mounting shell 2. Locking holes 9 are opened on the surface of the locking blocks 8. Notches 10 are opened on the surface of both locking rods 5. The locking rods 5 are inserted into the corresponding locking blocks 8 through the locking holes 9.

[0027] Specifically: The mounting bracket 3 is integrally molded from high-strength engineering plastic and is tightly connected to the inner wall of the mounting shell 1 via embedded buckles, effectively resisting vibrations during vehicle operation and ensuring stability. The limiting sleeve 4 is cylindrical, with its inner diameter precisely matching the outer diameter of the locking rod 5, allowing the locking rod 5 to slide flexibly and providing precise guidance. The limiting block 6 is a disc-shaped structure with a diameter slightly larger than the inner diameter of the limiting sleeve 4, preventing the locking rod 5 from dislodging from the limiting sleeve 4 and providing stable support for the return spring 7. The return spring 7 is made of high-elasticity stainless steel and undergoes pre-compression treatment, maintaining constant elasticity in its natural state, ensuring that the locking rod 5 always tends to move towards the locking block 8. The locking block 8 is made of wear-resistant metal, and its surface locking hole 9 perfectly matches the end of the locking rod 5. When the mounting shell 2 is inserted into the mounting shell 1, under the elastic force of the return spring 7, the locking rod 5 can accurately embed into the locking hole 9, forming a solid locking structure; while the notch 10 on the surface of the locking rod 5 cleverly matches the edge of the locking hole 9, facilitating quick unlocking during disassembly.

[0028] Both fixed brackets 3 have movable openings 11 at their tops, and both locking blocks 8 have connecting rods 12 fixedly installed at their tops, with both connecting rods 12 passing through the movable openings 11.

[0029] Specifically, the size of the movable opening 11 is adapted to the diameter of the connecting rod 12, providing a guide channel for the vertical movement of the connecting rod 12, making the engagement between the locking block 8 and the locking rod 5 more precise. After the connecting rod 12 passes through the movable opening 11, its top is slightly higher than the upper surface of the fixed frame 3, making it convenient for maintenance personnel to press or pull the connecting rod 12 during disassembly, thereby causing the locking block 8 to move and separating the locking rod 5 from the lock hole 9. The operation is intuitive and convenient.

[0030] The mounting housing 2 has symmetrical movable slots 13 at both ends inside, and movable shafts 14 are rotatably installed inside each of the two movable slots 13. The front ends of the two movable shafts 14 extend into the fixed housing 1, and a toggle plate 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the front ends of the two movable shafts 14. The two toggle plates 15 are located on one side of the adjacent connecting rod 12.

[0031] Specifically, the movable groove 13 provides a stable rotation space for the movable shaft 14, and its inner wall is finely machined to reduce frictional resistance when the movable shaft 14 rotates. The distance between the actuating plate 15 at the front end of the movable shaft 14 and the connecting rod 12 is precisely designed so that when the movable shaft 14 rotates, the actuating plate 15 can accurately contact and push the connecting rod 12. The actuating plate 15 has an arc-shaped or wedge-shaped structure, and the surface on the side that contacts the connecting rod 12 is smooth, which can effectively transmit power and avoid wear on the connecting rod 12.

[0032] Two movable shafts 14 are fixedly provided with rotating rods 16 at one end within the movable groove 13. Both ends of the rear side of the mounting shell 2 are movably hinged with sealing covers 17, and the two sealing covers 17 respectively cover the outside of the corresponding movable groove 13.

[0033] Specifically, the length and shape of the rotating rod 16 have been optimized for easy rotation by hand or tools by maintenance personnel. The sealing cover 17 is hinged to the rear side of the mounting shell 2 via a hinge, and its edge is provided with a sealing strip. In the closed state, it not only prevents dust and moisture from entering the movable groove 13 and affecting the rotation of the movable shaft 14, but also provides a certain degree of protection to prevent accidental contact that could cause the movable shaft 14 to rotate, thus ensuring the structural stability of the vehicle payment terminal during normal use.

[0034] Both the mounting shell 2 and the fixed shell 1 are rectangular, and the four corners of the front inner wall of the mounting shell 2 are fixedly provided with limit plates 18. The mounting shell 2 is inserted into the surface of the fixed shell 1 through the limit plates 18.

[0035] Specifically, the limiting plate 18 fits tightly against the inner wall of the fixed shell 1, and the thickness of the limiting plate 18 matches the width of the corresponding slot in the fixed shell 1, forming a precise limiting fit. This design not only ensures the accuracy of the mounting shell 2's installation position on the fixed shell 1, but also enhances the connection stability between the mounting shell 2 and the fixed shell 1 to a certain extent, preventing the mounting shell 2 from shaking due to vibration during vehicle operation.

[0036] The rear side of the mounting housing 2 is fixedly equipped with a display screen 19 and a card reader 20, with the display screen 19 located between two movable slots 13;

[0037] Specifically, the display screen 19 and the card reader 20 are fixed to the rear of the mounting housing 2 with waterproof and shockproof connectors to ensure their reliability in the complex operating environment of the vehicle. The layout of the display screen 19 between the two movable slots 13 does not affect the operating space of the rotating rod 16 in the movable slots 13, and facilitates clear visual viewing and interactive operation for users when using the vehicle payment terminal, while making the overall structure more compact and reasonable.

[0038] The specific working principle is as follows: When the vehicle-mounted payment terminal needs to be installed, the mounting shell 2 is aligned and inserted into the fixed shell 1 via the limiting plate 18. At this time, the locking block 8 on the inner side of the mounting shell 2 enters the interior of the fixed shell 1. Under the elastic force of the return spring 7, the locking rod 5 inserts into the locking hole 9 on the surface of the locking block 8, realizing a firm lock between the mounting shell 2 and the fixed shell 1, completing the installation process. When the vehicle-mounted payment terminal needs to be repaired and disassembled, the sealing cover 17 on the outside of the movable slot 13 is opened. The maintenance personnel rotate the rotating rod 16 to drive the movable shaft 14 to rotate. The actuating plate 15 at the front end of the movable shaft 14 pushes the connecting rod 12 to one side. The connecting rod 12 drives the locking rod 5 to move, causing the locking rod 5 to be pulled out from the locking hole 9. The notch 10 separates from the locking hole 9, releasing the locking state between the mounting shell 2 and the fixed shell 1. At this time, the mounting shell 2 can be easily removed from the fixed shell 1, allowing direct contact with the internal core components for inspection. After the repair is completed, simply reverse the steps above to reinstall. The entire disassembly and assembly process does not require tools to remove the bolts, making the operation simple and quick and greatly improving repair efficiency.
