Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of highway card issuing machine technology, and in particular to a height adjustment device for a highway card issuing machine. Background Technology
[0002] Highway card dispensers are automated devices installed at tollbooth entrances that use intelligent recognition technology to automatically identify vehicle type, license plate, and issue toll cards. Core functions include rapid reading and writing of CPC card information and seamless integration with the Ministry of Transport's management platform. Compared to manual card dispensing, they can improve traffic efficiency by 10% to 40% and support 24-hour unmanned operation.
[0003] Currently, existing card dispensers have a relatively fixed card dispensing height. However, the driver's seat height varies for different car models. When the card dispensing height is fixed, it cannot automatically adapt to drivers of different car models, which greatly reduces the convenience for drivers to take cards. Utility Model Content

The device is fixedly installed at a designated position in the toll station via a base plate and mounting holes. The detection component detects vehicle parking information and simultaneously determines the vehicle height based on image information. The drive component then drives the lifting mechanism to rotate. Through the threaded connection inside the lifting mechanism, the limit slider, connecting block, fixed frame, and card issuing mechanism are moved up and down, thus adjusting the card issuing position according to the vehicle height.

[0020] Reference Figure 1-4 A height adjustment device for a highway card dispenser includes a base plate 1 with a mounting hole 2 through its top surface. A fixed frame 3 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base plate 1. The fixed frame 3 is rectangular and made of metal, which provides higher strength and makes it less prone to deformation and damage under stress, thus increasing its durability. A limit groove 4 is through its surface, and multiple limit sliders 5 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the limit groove 4. These limit sliders 5 are symmetrically arranged about the vertical center line of the front of the fixed frame 3 and are used to connect multiple connecting blocks 6, improving the lifting stability of the fixed frame 7. Connecting blocks 6 are fixedly connected to the surface of the limit sliders 5, and the fixed frame 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting blocks 6. A card dispensing mechanism is installed inside the fixed frame 7, consisting of a card dispenser body 8, a display screen 9, and a card dispensing slot 1. The card dispenser consists of button 11 and a card dispensing machine body 8, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 7. The display screen 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the card dispenser body 8. The card dispensing slot 10 is located on the front of the card dispenser body 8. Button 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the card dispenser body 8 and is used for self-service card retrieval, which improves card dispensing efficiency. The top surface of the fixed frame 7 is equipped with a detection component. The surface of the fixed frame 3 is equipped with a lifting mechanism, which consists of a limit ring 15, a threaded rod 16, and a threaded sleeve 17. The limit ring 15 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed frame 3. The threaded rod 16 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the limit ring 15. The inner wall of the threaded sleeve 17 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 16, and the threaded sleeve 17 is fixedly connected to the surface of the limit slider 5. This mechanism is used to drive the card dispensing mechanism to move up and down, which facilitates automatic adjustment of the card dispensing height and greatly improves the convenience of card retrieval. The back of the fixed frame 3 is equipped with a drive component.
[0021] Specifically, the detection component consists of a fixed plate 12, an infrared sensor 13, and a detection camera 14. The fixed plate 12 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the fixed frame 7, the infrared sensor 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 12, and the detection camera 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 12. It is used to detect the parking information and image information of the vehicle, so as to facilitate automatic judgment of the vehicle height.
[0022] Specifically, the drive assembly consists of a fixed sleeve 18, a servo motor 19, a drive wheel 20, a transmission belt 21, and a driven wheel 22. The fixed sleeve 18 is fixedly connected to the back of the fixed frame 3. The servo motor 19 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 18. The inner wall of the drive wheel 20 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 19. The transmission belt 21 meshes with the inner wall of the drive wheel 20. The inner wall of the driven wheel 22 is fixedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 16, and the inner wall of the driven wheel 22 meshes with the transmission belt 21, which is used to drive the lifting mechanism to rotate, facilitating lifting transmission work.
[0023] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that provides control.
[0024] In use: First, the card dispenser body 8 is fixedly installed in the fixed frame 7. The device is then fixedly installed at the designated position of the toll station through the base plate 1 and the mounting hole 2. During operation, the infrared sensor 13 is activated to detect vehicle parking information. When a vehicle is detected, the detection camera 14 is activated to collect image information to determine the driver's seat height. The servo motor 19 is activated to drive the drive wheel 20 and the transmission belt 21 to rotate. Through the meshing of the transmission belt 21 and the driven wheel 22, the threaded rod 16 is driven to rotate along the inner wall of the limiting ring 15. Through the threaded connection between the threaded rod 16 and the threaded sleeve 17, the limiting slider 5 is driven to slide vertically up and down along the inner wall of the limiting groove 4. The movement of the limiting slider 5 drives the connecting block 6 and the fixed frame 7 to move up and down. The movement of the fixed frame 7 drives the card dispenser body 8 to move up and down. The card dispensing position can be adjusted according to the vehicle height. The driver can control the card dispenser body 8 through the button 11 and the display screen 9 to take the card through the card slot 10.
[0025] In summary, this highway card dispenser height adjustment device fixes the card dispensing mechanism in a fixed frame 7. The device is then fixed at a designated location in the toll station via a base plate 1 and mounting holes 2. The detection component detects vehicle parking information and simultaneously determines the vehicle height using image information. The drive component then drives the lifting mechanism to rotate. Through the threaded connection inside the lifting mechanism, the limit slider 5, connecting block 6, fixed frame 7, and card dispensing mechanism move up and down, thus adjusting the card dispensing position according to the vehicle height. Drivers can then use the card dispensing mechanism to retrieve their cards independently. This achieves the goal of automatically adjusting the card dispensing position based on vehicle height, avoiding the problem of existing card dispensers having fixed card dispensing positions that are difficult to adapt to drivers of different heights, thereby significantly reducing the convenience of card retrieval for drivers. This device addresses the problems mentioned in the background section.
