Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of card issuing machine technology, and in particular to a robotic arm card issuing machine with paper pass issuing function. Background Technology

[0002] In modern transportation systems, highways, as crucial infrastructure, bear a significant burden of passenger and freight transport. To achieve efficient and orderly management and reasonable toll collection, highway toll systems are constantly evolving and improving. Currently, CPC cards (composite toll cards) play a key role in highway toll systems, and are widely used as the toll calculation standard.

[0003] CPC cards serve as crucial credentials for highway toll collection, making their security and integrity paramount. Due to their high production cost and the fact that they store critical vehicle passage information, loss or damage not only incurs financial losses for highway operators but can also disrupt the normal operation of the toll collection system and compromise data accuracy. During toll-free periods like holidays, with a surge in vehicle traffic, continuing to use CPC cards for entry information recording would create immense pressure on the collection, counting, and management of these cards after the toll-free period ends, increasing the risk of loss or damage.

[0004] Therefore, this application develops a robotic arm card dispenser with paper pass issuance function to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a robotic arm card dispenser with paper pass issuance function to solve the problem of lost cards in the prior art.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is: a robotic arm card issuing machine with paper pass issuing function, comprising: a card issuing mechanism, a storage device and a slide rail mechanism; The storage device contains paper passes, and the storage device is slidably mounted on the card issuing mechanism via the slide rail mechanism; The slide rail mechanism is configured to allow the storage device to slide to the extended position in the pull-out direction and to the retracted position in the push-back direction under manual operation; When the storage device is in the extended position, it is at least partially exposed to the outside of the card issuing mechanism to facilitate manual retrieval of paper passes.

[0007] Preferably, the slide rail mechanism includes a fixed rail and a sliding rail. The fixed rail is installed on the outer side wall of the card issuing mechanism, and the sliding rail is installed on the side wall of the storage device adjacent to the card issuing mechanism. The fixed rail and the sliding rail cooperate with each other to slide.

[0008] Preferably, the end of the fixed rail away from the paper pass is provided with a damping block to prevent the sliding rail from sliding off the fixed rail when not subjected to external force.

[0009] Preferably, the storage device has a plurality of limiting holes spaced apart along the pull-out direction on the side adjacent to the card issuing mechanism. The card issuing mechanism has an insertion part at the position corresponding to the limiting hole. The insertion part and the limiting hole form a plug-in fit. By inserting the insertion part into the limiting hole at different positions, the storage device is limited.

[0010] Preferably, when the storage device is in the retracted position, the storage device protrudes outside the card issuing mechanism along the pull-out direction.

[0011] Preferably, the storage device has an installation door on one side, which is located at the position of the paper pass and is connected to the storage device by a hinge or buckle structure to realize the opening and closing structure.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: (1) During the free period of highway holidays, the storage device can be manually pulled out 6 hours in advance, so that at least part of the structure is exposed to the outside of the card issuing mechanism, making it convenient and quick to directly take out the paper toll ticket, which greatly improves the efficiency of operation; after the free period ends, it can be pushed back smoothly without taking up extra space, avoiding the loss of CPC card and saving a lot of money. (2) The fixed rail is installed on the outer side wall of the card issuing mechanism, and the sliding rail is installed on the adjacent side wall of the storage device. The two are slidably connected to each other. When taking out a paper pass, the sliding rail slides smoothly along the guide of the fixed rail, driving the storage device to move. After use, it can slide back smoothly to ensure smooth operation. (3) The card issuing mechanism is equipped with a limit structure to avoid excessive retraction and extension of the storage device, and can provide multiple limit position options according to different states or working scenarios of the storage device, to meet diverse usage scenarios and improve operational convenience and efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0013] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments: Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the storage device of the present invention in the extended position; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the storage device of the present invention in the retracted position; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the storage device of the present invention located at another position of the extended position; Figure 4This is an exploded view of the limiting hole and the insertion part described in this utility model.

[0014] The components include: 1. Card issuing mechanism; 2. Storage device; 3. Slide rail mechanism; 31. Fixed rail; 32. Sliding rail; 4. Damping block; 5. Limiting hole; 6. Insertion part; 7. Installation door. Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments: like Figures 1-2 As shown, a robotic arm card dispenser with paper toll ticket dispensing function includes a card dispensing mechanism 1, a storage device 2, and a slide rail mechanism 3. The card dispensing mechanism 1 provides the installation foundation and stable operating environment for the storage device 2 and the slide rail mechanism 3, ensuring that all components can work together to realize the various functions of the card dispenser. The storage device 2 is a component specifically used to store paper toll tickets, containing a certain number of paper toll tickets. The storage device 2 is connected to the card dispensing mechanism 1 via the slide rail mechanism 3, which allows the storage device 2 to slide under manual operation. Specifically, during highway holidays when tolls are waived, 6 hours in advance, under the action of manually applied external force along a pre-set pulling direction, at least a portion of the structure of the storage device 2 is exposed to the outside of the card dispensing mechanism 1. This allows for convenient and quick direct retrieval of paper toll tickets, greatly improving operational efficiency. When the toll-free period ends, pushing in the opposite direction allows the storage device 2 to smoothly slide to the retracted position, without occupying extra space, making the overall structure of the card dispenser more compact.

[0016] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, an installation door 7 is installed at the location of the paper toll ticket via a hinged or snap-fit ​​structure, enabling smooth opening and closing and facilitating the management of paper toll tickets by staff. When it is necessary to replenish paper toll tickets into the storage device 2, staff only need to open the installation door 7 to neatly place the new toll ticket into the corresponding position, greatly shortening the filling time and improving work efficiency. Especially at highway toll stations with high traffic volume, it can quickly complete the filling of toll tickets, reduce vehicle waiting time, and ensure smooth traffic flow.

[0017] In this embodiment, the slide rail mechanism 3 includes a fixed rail 31 and a sliding rail 32. The fixed rail 31 is installed on the outer wall of the card issuing mechanism 1, and the sliding rail 32 is installed on the side wall adjacent to the card issuing mechanism 1. The two are slidably connected to each other. When a paper pass needs to be retrieved, the staff applies an external force in the pulling direction to the storage device 2. At this time, the sliding rail 32 slides smoothly along the guide of the fixed rail 31, driving the storage device 2 to gradually move towards the outside of the card issuing machine until it reaches the extended position. In the extended position, the storage device 2 is at least partially exposed to the outside of the card issuing mechanism 1, making it convenient to directly retrieve the paper pass. After use, an external force is applied in the pushing direction, and the storage device 2 smoothly slides back to the retracted position through the cooperation of the sliding rail 32 and the fixed rail 31. The sliding rail 32 is installed on the side wall of the storage device 2, making full use of the space between the card issuer and the storage device 2 without increasing the overall volume of the equipment. This allows the card issuer to realize the storage and issuance of paper toll tickets in a limited space, which is suitable for various space-constrained highway toll station scenarios and improves space utilization.

[0018] Furthermore, a damping block 4 is provided at the end of the fixed rail 31 away from the paper pass. When the storage device 2 completes the paper pass issuance operation and the staff pushes the storage device 2 to move it to the retracted position, the damping block 4 can play a buffering role, while ensuring that the sliding rail 32 will not slide out of the fixed rail 31 under the action of no external force.

[0019] like Figure 4 As shown, on the side adjacent to the card issuing mechanism 1, multiple limiting holes 5 are evenly spaced along the direction in which the storage device 2 is pulled out. Simultaneously, on the card issuing mechanism 1, at positions corresponding to the limiting holes 5, insertion parts 6 with shapes and sizes matching the limiting holes 5 are provided, allowing for precise insertion into the limiting holes 5. In actual use, when the storage device 2 is in different states of being pulled out or retracted, or when the position of the storage device 2 needs to be adjusted according to different work scenarios, the operator only needs to insert the insertion part 6 on the card issuing mechanism 1 into the limiting holes 5 at different positions on the storage device 2 to achieve the limiting of the storage device 2. The multiple limiting holes 5 spaced apart along the pulling direction, in conjunction with the insertion part 6, provide multiple limiting position options, greatly improving the flexibility of limiting, meeting diverse usage scenarios, and enhancing operational convenience and efficiency.

[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, to facilitate the extension of the storage device 2, when the storage device 2 moves to the retracted position, a portion of it protrudes outside the card issuing mechanism 1 along the pulling direction, thereby providing a force-applying part, enabling staff to quickly and effectively pull out the storage device 2, and at the same time, it will not affect the vehicle's movement when paper passes are not required.
