Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ticket vending machine technology, specifically to an adjustable payment component for rail transit ticket vending machines. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the accelerated pace of urbanization, rail transit technology has developed rapidly. As an efficient and convenient modern mode of transportation, the subway, with its advantages of punctuality and large capacity, has gradually become the preferred choice for urban residents' daily travel. The massive passenger flow of the subway results in a significantly diversified service population, encompassing people of different ages, occupations, and physical conditions. This makes the rationality and ease of use of subway facilities an important indicator for measuring service quality.

[0003] In all aspects of subway operation, ticket purchase, as the starting point for passengers' journeys, directly impacts the overall travel experience. The widespread application of self-service ticket machines is undoubtedly a major innovative achievement in smart transportation construction. It not only significantly reduces labor costs but also, through 24-hour uninterrupted service and multilingual interactive interfaces, significantly improves passenger ticket purchase efficiency, effectively alleviating queuing pressure at manual ticket windows and making the travel process smoother and more efficient.

[0004] However, while self-service ticket machines bring convenience, we must also acknowledge their design limitations. Most currently available self-service ticket machines were designed with the habits and physical conditions of able-bodied individuals in mind, placing key components such as the user interface, ticket dispenser, and coin slot at relatively fixed heights. This lacks adaptation for special groups such as wheelchair users, children of shorter stature, and the elderly. For wheelchair users, the excessively high interface makes it difficult to easily tap the screen and complete payments; shorter users often need to tiptoe or rely on external assistance to reach the operating area. This not only causes considerable inconvenience for their travel but also, to some extent, limits their ability to use public facilities independently. Utility Model Content

[0016] 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 protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Example: Please refer to Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution: an adjustable payment component for a rail transit ticket vending machine, comprising a main body 1, a lifting card block 2 mounted on the main body 1, a housing 3 mounted above the lifting card block 2, an operation screen 4 mounted on the housing 3, a cash inlet 5 on the right side of the operation screen 4, a bank card insertion slot 6 below the cash inlet 5, a document sensing module 7 below the bank card insertion slot 6, a ticket dispensing slot 8 below the document sensing module 7, a secondary operation screen 9 below the ticket dispensing slot 8, and a lifting control device 10 on the right side of the secondary operation screen 9.

[0018] Among them, the lifting block 2 adopts an I-shaped structure, and the internal space can reduce the overall weight of the outer shell 3 and reduce the pressure on the lifting rod 15.

[0019] In this embodiment, the lifting block adopts an I-shaped structure. Through the internal space design, the overall weight of the outer shell is effectively reduced, the pressure on the lifting rod is reduced, the overall stability and durability of the equipment are improved, the wear and tear on components caused by excessive load is reduced, and the service life of the equipment is extended.

[0020] The lifting block 2 is provided with a lifting rod 15 below it, a hydraulic device 14 is installed below the lifting rod 15, a drive motor 13 is installed on the right side of the hydraulic device 14, and an induction support column 11 is provided below the drive motor 13.

[0021] In this embodiment, the design of the lifting boom, in conjunction with the hydraulic system, drive motor, and inductive support column, constructs a complete and efficient lifting power and control system. The hydraulic system provides stable power, the drive motor precisely controls the lifting process, and the inductive support column ensures that the lifting device is started on a stable ground, enhancing the safety of equipment operation and avoiding operational risks caused by unstable ground.

[0022] The sensor block is located above the sensor support column 11. The internal lifting device will only be activated when all four corner sensor support columns 11 are firmly planted on the ground. At the same time, the bottom of the lifting block 2 is provided with a protruding ring to prevent it from falling off the main body 1 during the ascent.

[0023] In this embodiment, a raised ring is provided at the bottom of the lifting block to prevent it from falling off the main body during the lifting process. This structurally ensures the safety of the equipment during operation, avoids accidents caused by parts falling off, and provides reliable protection for operators.

[0024] The sub-operation screen 9 on the outer casing 1 is connected to the main system, while the lifting control device 10 in the lower part of the outer casing 3 is positioned relatively low.

[0025] In this embodiment, the secondary operating screen on the outer shell is connected to the main system, making it convenient for shorter users to operate; the lifting control device is positioned low, making it easy for shorter users or those in different operating postures to reach it, thereby controlling the lowering of the outer shell and improving the convenience of operation.

[0026] Working Principle: In actual use, by operating the connection between the secondary screen 9 and the main system, users can easily complete the entire ticketing process, from selecting the departure point, destination, and travel time to confirming the order, on the visual interactive interface of the secondary screen 9. The entire operation is smooth, clear, and intuitive. If a user needs to use another payment method but cannot reach the corresponding interface due to the device's current high position, there is no need to strain to stand on tiptoe or use external objects. Simply press the lifting control device 10, and the device will quickly connect to the drive motor 13, providing a stable energy supply to the hydraulic device 14. Immediately, the lifting rod 15 on the hydraulic device 14 begins to descend at a uniform speed. With precise mechanical transmission, it drives the entire outer shell 3 to slowly move down along the lifting chamber 12 until it reaches a suitable position within the user's reach, ensuring a comfortable and convenient payment experience. After the user successfully completes the ticketing service, the hydraulic device 14 will restart, using hydraulic drive to propel the outer shell 3 along a predetermined trajectory, smoothly and quickly returning it to its initial position, ready for the next user.
