Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of highway ancillary equipment and facilities, and in particular to a highway traffic flow pre-identification and toll collection device. Background Technology

[0002] In the current technology, the toll collection method of highway toll stations is gradually changing to ETC toll collection as the main method, but the traditional toll booth model is still retained. The coexistence of the two models can adapt to the management of various types of vehicles. In related technologies, such as the Chinese utility model patent, publication number CN219590945U, patent title "A Highway Toll Station Traffic Flow Detection Device", in solving the problems of toll stations, traffic flow and toll collection, it is still about dealing with the relationship between the toll gate and the passage of traffic. In reality, the impact of traffic flow on highway toll station efficiency is primarily related to actual toll collection efficiency. Currently, toll booths accept cash payments and self-service payments via QR codes. While the height of most toll booth windows is the same as that of ordinary vehicles, small cars are positioned lower than the window, and large trucks use dedicated lanes. However, with the increasing variety of vehicle types, the actual situation is more complex with passenger cars, small SUVs, and various new energy vehicles. This leads to situations where, during actual payment interactions, when a vehicle is slightly off-center from the toll booth window, the driver or passenger may have difficulty seeing the QR code to be scanned, resulting in reduced payment efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention aims to solve the technical problems of low toll collection efficiency affecting actual traffic flow and the lack of effective toll collection devices in the existing technology, and provides a highway traffic flow pre-identification and toll collection device.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A highway traffic flow pre-identification and toll collection device, installed on a toll booth, includes: The ranging and recognition component obtains the distance between the working side of the toll booth and the vehicle based on infrared ranging. When the detection distance obtained by the ranging and recognition component is greater than a preset distance, the ranging and recognition component outputs a control signal to an actuator to drive a working arm assembly with a toll information panel to move. The working arm assembly has an extension arm that allows the toll information panel mounted thereon to be brought closer to the vehicle.

[0005] Specifically, the ranging and identification component includes: Multiple infrared rangefinders are installed on the working side of the lower part of the toll booth, and at least two sets of infrared rangefinders form a height difference on the lower part of the booth.

[0006] Specifically, multiple infrared rangefinders are arranged in two rows and two columns on the lower pavilion.

[0007] Specifically, the ranging and identification component further includes: The identification information collection module records multiple detection distances (h) obtained by the infrared rangefinder and transmits the multiple detection distance data to a terminal device. The terminal device is used to record a preset distance and send a control signal to the actuator based on the difference between the preset distance and the detection distance. The control signal is used to drive the action cylinder of the working arm assembly.

[0008] Specifically, a payment window is formed in the middle of the toll booth; A counter is formed on the payment window; A mounting surface is formed below the window sill, and the working arm assembly is mounted on the mounting surface.

[0009] Specifically, the working arm assembly includes: The main connecting arm is L-shaped, with its long side parallel to the horizontal plane. The short side of the main connecting arm is perpendicular to the horizontal plane; The long side is fixedly connected to the mounting surface via a mounting plate; The actuating cylinder is arranged on one side of the long side, and the actuating cylinder has a fixed end, which is rotatably connected to one end of the mounting plate adjacent to the long side. The output end of the actuating cylinder is rotatably connected to the first rotation point near the proximal end of the main bending arm; The second rotation point is formed at the junction of the proximal end and the long side and the short side; The secondary bending arm has its proximal end forming a third rotation point with the end of the short side; The main bending arm and the auxiliary bending arm have bending points; Connect the short arm, with its two ends rotatably connected to the corresponding bending points; The distal ends of the main bending arm and the auxiliary bending arm are rotatably connected to a panel connection part, forming two parallel rotation points; The panel connection part is fixedly connected to the charging information panel.

[0010] Specifically: when the output stroke of the actuating cylinder is at its minimum, the panel connection portion is located above the short side; When the output stroke of the actuating cylinder is at its maximum, the panel connection portion is located below the short side; When the output stroke of the actuating cylinder reaches / , the panel connection portion is located in front of the long side.

[0011] Specifically, the charging information panel is an LCD panel or a recording panel; The charging information panel is used to display QR code charging information.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: The distance measurement and recognition component works by using infrared ranging to determine the distance between the working side of the toll booth and the vehicle. When the detected distance is greater than a preset distance, the component outputs a control signal to an actuator to drive a working arm assembly with a toll information panel. At this time, the working arm assembly has an extension arm that allows the toll information panel mounted on it to move closer to the vehicle, providing a more convenient toll information display for the driver or passenger. This not only accommodates a wider range of vehicle types but also addresses situations where the distance between the driver and the toll booth is too great due to driver operation, thus improving traffic flow. Furthermore, because infrared ranging is used, it allows for pre-identification of vehicle distances, enabling the working arm assembly to move and provide a more convenient toll information display.

Figures 1-6 As shown; the highway traffic flow pre-identification and toll collection device, installed on toll booth 1, also includes: The distance measuring and recognition component 10 works by using infrared ranging to obtain the distance between the working side of the toll booth 1 and the vehicle 3. When the detection distance h obtained by the distance measuring and recognition component 10 is greater than a preset distance, the distance measuring and recognition component 10 outputs a control signal to an actuator to drive a working arm component 20 with a toll information panel 2 to move. At this time, the working arm component 20 has an extension arm 201, which allows the toll information panel 2 mounted on it to move closer to the vehicle 3, providing the toll information panel 2 at a closer distance to the driver or passenger to provide payment reminders. In this way, it can accommodate more vehicle types and can also adapt to situations where the distance between the driver and the toll booth 1 is too far due to the driver's operation, thus improving the actual traffic flow. Furthermore, since the distance measurement uses infrared ranging, it can provide a pre-identification of the vehicle distance, playing a pre-identification role, so that the working arm component 20 can move to provide a toll information panel 2 at a more convenient payment distance.

[0019] In one specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the ranging and recognition component 10 also includes: a recognition information collection module 110. Multiple detection distances h obtained by the infrared rangefinder 101 are recorded by the recognition information collection module 110, and the multiple detection distances h are transmitted to a terminal device 120. The terminal device 120 is used to record a preset distance and send a control signal to the actuator based on the difference between the preset distance and the detection distance h.
