Toll collectors need approximately 40 minutes during shift changes to sort the collected cards and count them. With the number of staff at toll stations gradually decreasing, this lengthy process increases the workload of toll collectors. While existing external card processing devices can process and count cards in batches, they are bulky and unsuitable for toll station scenarios. Therefore, there is a need to design a device that can collect and sort highway toll cards. Utility Model Content

The card-straightening mechanism adjusts the card's posture and guides it to fall onto a card-flipping box in a stacking structure. The card-flipping box moves to a designated card storage slot under the drive of a translational drive mechanism. The card-flipping box flips and pours the cards into the corresponding card storage slot. Through the cooperation of the translational drive mechanism and the card-flipping box, a specified number of cards are transported into each card storage slot one by one. The card posture and transport path are adjusted in a multi-stage motion manner. Finally, the cards are sorted by stacking them layer by layer. This allows for the sorting and counting of collected cards in a limited space, saving toll collectors time in sorting and counting, reducing labor costs, and improving shift handover efficiency.

[0016] 2) The card-flipping plate tilts the card into the limiting groove, keeping the card in a vertical position. First, control one card-flipping plate to rotate 90°, and then control the other card-flipping plate to rotate 90°, so that the long side of the card is parallel to the two card-flipping plates, and falls into the card-flipping box below through the card-flipping channel. The card-flipping mechanism can adjust the card posture so that the card can be smoothly transported from the collection box to the stacking mechanism.

[0017] 3) The card flipping box reciprocates through the translation drive mechanism to reach the designated card storage slot, and then tilts the card into the card tray corresponding to the card storage slot through the flipping action. After each card storage slot is filled with one card, the lifting tray assembly drives the card tray to descend by the thickness of one card, and so on, to achieve the layer-by-layer stacking function.

The rotation of the two card-driving motors drives the corresponding two card-driving flip plates to flip in the direction of the card-driving channel 312, pushing the card in the direction of the card-driving channel 312, so that the card falls smoothly from the card-driving channel 312 into the stacking mechanism 4 below.

[0035] The stacking mechanism 4 is installed inside the chassis 1, located below the card-strapping mechanism 3, and is used to receive cards falling from the card-strapping mechanism 3. The stacking mechanism 4 includes a card-dispensing component 41, a translation drive mechanism 42, and a card storage box 43. The translation drive mechanism 42 is installed above the middle of the card storage box 43, and the card-dispensing component 41 is installed on the translation drive mechanism 42 and moves by translation via the translation drive mechanism 42.

One side of each card holder 446 is located in a corresponding card storage slot 431, and the other side of each card holder 446 extends from the opening on the outer side of the corresponding card storage slot 431 to the outside of the card storage slot 431 and is fixedly connected to the corresponding lifting plate 444. Each card holder 446 is located at the same horizontal height. Card tray 446 is used to receive cards poured from card flip box 411. Card flip box 411, in conjunction with translation drive mechanism 42, sequentially feeds cards one by one into several card storage slots. After each round of feeding, lifting tray assembly 44 lowers the card tray to a certain height, and then continues to complete the next round of feeding until the number of cards on each tray reaches a set value. At this point, lifting tray assembly lowers the card tray until it is completely detached from the card storage slot, allowing direct card removal. The outside of the card storage slots is equipped with scales and numbers corresponding to card thickness, allowing for quick indication of the number of cards in the slot.

[0037] The working principle and working steps of this utility model are as follows:

[0038] 1) The card is transported to the collection box of the card receiving mechanism 2 and the card is placed on the card tray 32 in the card receiving mechanism 3. The card tray 32 rotates 90° so that the card is placed on the two card trays 34 in the limiting groove 31 and is in a vertical state under the restriction of the card tray 32.

[0039] 2) First, control one card-flipping plate 34 to rotate 90°, then control another card-flipping plate 43 to rotate 90°, so that the long side of the card is parallel to the two card-flipping plates 34, and falls into the card-flipping box 15 below through the card-flipping channel 312. After the card-flipping is completed, the card-flipping plate 34 and the card-holding plate 32 are reset one after the other.

[0040] 3) The card flipping box 411 moves to the first card storage slot position under the drive of the translation drive mechanism 42. It is driven by the card flipping drive motor 413 to flip a certain angle in the direction of the corresponding card storage slot, so that the card is tilted and falls into the card storage slot. After each sequential conveying operation is completed, the card flipping box is adjusted to a horizontal state and then moves back to the bottom of the card conveying channel.

[0041] 4) When the next card is delivered by the card receiving mechanism 2, repeat steps 1) and 2). The translation drive mechanism 42 delivers the card flipping box 411 to the next card storage slot 431 and then flips it to pour the card into the corresponding card storage slot 431. This process is repeated in sequence, delivering cards to each card storage slot 431 one by one until one round of delivery is completed.

[0042] 5) After completing one round of one-to-one conveying, the lifting pallet assembly 44 drives the card pallet 446 to descend by the thickness of one card, and then continues to complete the next round of one-to-one conveying, layer by layer, until the number of cards on each card pallet 446 reaches the set value.

[0043] This invention achieves the sorting and counting of each card in a limited space through multi-stage motion. The card sorting mechanism 3 controls the posture of each card, so that it falls into the card flipping box 411 in a vertical position (long side is vertical). Finally, the cards are sorted by stacking them layer by layer, which saves the time of the toll collector in sorting and counting, reduces labor costs, and improves shift handover efficiency.

[0044] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Any modifications or equivalent substitutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be covered within the scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
