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.
