Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traffic barrier technology, specifically to an ETC and barrier segmentation device that enables non-stop toll collection for vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] In modern intelligent traffic management, electronic toll collection (ETC) systems have been widely used in highways, parking lots and other scenarios. They achieve rapid toll collection through information exchange between on-board electronic tags and roadside sensors, which can theoretically avoid vehicle stops.

[0003] However, the existing ETC system and barrier gate setup still have the following shortcomings: Traditional ETC lanes usually place the sensor and barrier gate in the same location. Vehicles need to slow down to the barrier gate and wait for the sensor to recognize the vehicle and for the barrier gate to lift. This can easily cause queuing and congestion, especially when traffic volume is high, and cannot truly achieve "non-stop" passage. When a vehicle is following too closely, before the barrier gate closes after the vehicle in front has completed payment, the vehicle behind may trigger the barrier gate prematurely due to sensor misreading, leading to a collision risk; or the vehicle may be forced to stop due to a delay in the barrier gate's response. Most existing barrier gate devices are integral lifting structures, lacking segmented control designs for vehicle passage, and cannot adapt to the needs of toll collection and barrier gate linkage at different vehicle speeds. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an ETC and barrier gate segmentation device that enables uninterrupted toll collection for vehicles, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an ETC and barrier gate segmentation device for non-stop vehicle toll collection, comprising a barrier gate with an internal drive source, an ETC sensor fixedly connected to the outside of the barrier gate, a drive source inside the barrier gate fixedly connected to a guardrail via a bracket, an mounting plate fixedly connected to the upper end of the guardrail, a first sliding groove on one side of the mounting plate, a threaded hole through the middle of the mounting plate, a sliding plate slidably connected in the first sliding groove, a drive motor fixedly connected to the other side of the sliding plate, a screw fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor, the screw rod wall threadedly connected in the threaded hole, and the lower end of the screw rotatably connected to a baffle via a bearing.

[0006] Preferably, movable holes are provided through both sides of the guardrail, and auxiliary plates are movably connected in each movable hole. Second sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the auxiliary plates, and sliders are slidably connected in each of the second sliding grooves. The opposite side of the sliders is fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the movable holes, and the lower end of the auxiliary plate is fixedly connected to the baffle.

[0007] Preferably, the lower end of the baffle is fixedly connected to several externally wrapped spring-loaded telescopic dampers, and the lower ends of the telescopic dampers and springs are jointly fixedly connected to the protective plate.

[0008] Preferably, the ETC sensor and the barrier gate drive source are wirelessly connected.

[0009] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Through the liftable barrier structure and the linkage design of the drive motor and screw, the lifting range of the barrier can be automatically adjusted according to the vehicle height, avoiding the time loss of the traditional barrier raising the entire length, significantly shortening the vehicle passage waiting time. The guide structure of the auxiliary plate and slider ensures that the barrier lifting is accurately adapted to different vehicle models. With the segmented layout of the ETC sensor and the barrier, the barrier can quickly act as needed while the vehicle completes the toll collection process. The telescopic damping and protection plate design can also buffer collisions. This device improves lane passage efficiency while enhancing adaptability to different vehicle models and equipment safety. Attached Figure Description

[0012] 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.

[0013] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: an ETC and barrier gate segmentation device for non-stop vehicle toll collection, including a barrier gate 1 with an internal drive source, an ETC sensor 2 fixedly connected to the outside of the barrier gate 1, a drive source inside the barrier gate 1 fixedly connected to a guardrail 3 via a bracket, a mounting plate 4 fixedly connected to the upper end of the guardrail 3, a first sliding groove 5 opened on one side of the mounting plate 4, a threaded hole 6 through the middle of the mounting plate 4, a sliding plate 7 slidably connected in the first sliding groove 5, a drive motor 8 fixedly connected to the other side of the sliding plate 7, a screw 9 fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 8, and the screw 9 threadedly connected to the threaded hole 6. The lower end of the screw 9 is rotatably connected to the baffle 10 via a bearing. Movable holes 11 are opened through both sides of the baffle 3. Auxiliary plates 12 are movably connected inside the movable holes 11. Second slide grooves 13 are opened on both sides of the auxiliary plates 12. Sliding sliders 14 are slidably connected inside the second slide grooves 13. The opposite side of the sliders 14 is fixedly connected to the inner walls on both sides of the movable holes 11. The lower end of the auxiliary plate 12 is fixedly connected to the baffle 10. Several telescopic dampers 15 with externally wrapped springs are fixedly connected to the lower end of the baffle 10. The telescopic dampers 15 and the lower ends of the springs are jointly fixedly connected to the protection plate 16. The ETC sensor 2 and the barrier gate 1 are wirelessly connected to the drive source.

[0014] Specifically, when using this utility model, the drive source inside the barrier gate 1 is usually a servo motor or a stepper motor, which has high-precision speed control and torque output capability. The drive source is mechanically connected to the barrier plate 3 through a bracket. When the vehicle enters the recognition range of the ETC sensor 2 (usually 5-10 meters in front), the on-board OBU device and the ETC sensor 2 complete information interaction to confirm the vehicle identity and toll information. The ETC sensor 2 transmits the sensing signal to the control system of the barrier gate 1 through wireless signals (such as RFID, DSRC) to trigger the drive source to prepare for action. (If the device is equipped with a height sensor, the vehicle height can be detected in real time; otherwise, the lifting range is preset according to the vehicle model.) The drive motor 8 starts according to the received signal (or preset program). If the vehicle height is not high, the drive screw 9 rotates. The screw 9, in conjunction with the thread action of the threaded hole 6, the rotation action of the bearing at the bottom of the screw 9, and the sliding limit action of the slide plate 7 under the action of the sliding limit of the first slide groove 5, rises stably. At the same time, when the screw 9 rises, it will drive the baffle 10 to rise. When the baffle 10 rises, it will simultaneously drive the auxiliary plate 12. The auxiliary plate 12, under the force and the sliding limit action of the second slide groove 13 and the slider 14, stably passes through. The movable hole 11 rises to facilitate vehicle movement. When a vehicle is too high, the drive source inside the barrier gate 1 drives the barrier plate 3 to rise, facilitating quick passage and enabling toll collection while the vehicle is in motion. The barrier gate dynamically adjusts the lifting range according to the vehicle type, avoiding the delay chain of the traditional barrier gate "stop-sensor-lift" and shortening the passage time. If a vehicle accidentally collides with the barrier plate 3, the telescopic damper 15 at the lower end of the baffle 10 is compressed and retracts, the external spring absorbs the impact energy, and the protective plate 16 buffers the impact force to prevent hard damage to the barrier plate 3. After the collision, the spring returns to its original position, and the telescopic damper 15 provides damping force to reduce vibration.
