Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of self-service payment equipment technology, specifically to a housing structure for a self-service payment machine. Background Technology
[0002] With the improvement of my country's economy and people's living standards, as well as the unprecedented development of the automotive industry, the number of vehicles in China has reached an unprecedented scale, thus placing higher demands on the highway transportation system. As a component of intelligent transportation, unmanned lane toll collection systems have mature equipment and technologies.
[0003] Self-service toll payment machines have been widely used on numerous highways in China. The implementation of self-service toll payment robots on highways can effectively reduce operating costs, significantly improve lane traffic efficiency, save human resources, and enhance the intelligence level of highway toll stations. In this era of rapid digital information development, self-service toll payment methods are increasingly leaning towards electronic payments.
[0004] The existing technology, "Self-service Toll Payment Robot and Toll Collection System for Highways," application number CN202322055136.X, discloses a robot body equipped with a display screen, an invoice printing outlet, a cash payment slot, an ETC card reader module, and a barcode scanning module; and a cash processing device disposed within the robot body, which is arranged correspondingly to and cooperates with the cash payment slot, and is capable of recognizing RMB and providing change.
[0005] While existing technology includes a cash payment slot and a cash processing device—allowing drivers to place cash in the slot and have it processed to complete the payment—and, in conjunction with an ETC card reader and QR code scanning module, enables automated toll payment robots on highways to support either electronic or cash payment methods, this device is designed for ETC users only. Vehicles using temporary cards for highway entry cannot use this self-service payment system. Summary of the Invention
