Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of highway equipment systems, specifically a highway toll card box installation device. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the application of self-service card issuing machines at highway entrances and self-service toll payment machines at exits has become increasingly widespread. One of the core functions of these machines is the processing technology of toll cards. Besides card reading and writing, card storage and turnover technologies are receiving increasing attention from owners and designers. Currently, toll card storage is achieved using card boxes. Exit self-service toll payment machines collect toll cards and stack them in a predetermined manner. Then, staff retrieve the card boxes from the toll payment machine and load them into the entrance self-service card issuing machine, thus enabling toll card turnover.

[0003] However, existing technologies require the card holder to be inserted into the card holder fixing slot from top to bottom during loading and removed from bottom to top during removal. Inserting the card holder from top to bottom often requires reserving sufficient upper operating space; removing the card holder from bottom to top often results in it easily colliding with other components inside the chassis, which is extremely inconvenient. Both insertion and removal require vertical operation, failing to provide users with a quick installation and removal experience. In view of these shortcomings, this solution was developed through in-depth research, aiming to provide users with a highway toll card installation device that requires minimal space, is simple and convenient to operate, and enables rapid installation and removal of the card holder. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a highway toll card box installation device, which solves the existing problems.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution To achieve the above, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a highway toll card holder installation device, comprising a frame, a first locking assembly, a second locking assembly, a pop-out assembly, and a card holder: The frame includes a first side plate, a front plate, a second side plate, a bottom plate, guide strips, and fasteners; The first lock assembly includes a first housing support, a first electromagnet, a first connector, and a first baffle; The second lock assembly includes a second housing bracket, a second electromagnet, a second connector, a second baffle, a button, and a button bracket; The pop-out assembly includes a cover, a push block, a compression spring, a guide bar, and a micro switch; The card box includes at least a first side, a back, a second side, and a front.

[0006] Optionally, the first side plate design includes a first hole, a first threaded post, and a first guide surface; the front plate design includes a post; the second side plate design includes a second hole, a second threaded post, and a second guide surface; the bottom plate design includes a guide plate; the space S enclosed by the first side plate, the front plate, the second side plate, and the bottom plate is used for installing and fixing the card box; symmetrical guide strips are designed and installed on the inner side of the first side plate and the second side plate; symmetrical fasteners are designed and installed on the outer side of the first side plate and the second side plate.

[0007] Optionally, the first housing bracket and the first threaded post are installed and fixed on the first side plate, the first electromagnet is installed and fixed on the first housing bracket, one end of the first connector is installed and fixed to the end of the moving iron core of the first electromagnet, and the other end is installed with the first baffle. The first baffle is a structure that passes through the first hole. When the first electromagnet is not energized, that is, in the normal state of the first electromagnet, the intersection between the first baffle and the space S reaches its maximum value. When the first electromagnet is energized, it drives the first baffle away from the space S along the hole normal direction of the first hole until the moving iron core of the first electromagnet is completely attracted, at which point the intersection between the first baffle and the space S reaches its minimum value. In the normal state of the first electromagnet not being energized, the first locking assembly is in the "locked" state. When the first electromagnet is energized and the moving iron core is completely attracted, the first locking assembly is in the "unlocked" state.

[0008] Optionally, the button is mounted and fixed on the button bracket, which is fixed to the second side plate. The second housing bracket is mounted and fixed on the second side plate in conjunction with the second threaded post. The second electromagnet is mounted and fixed on the second housing bracket. One end of the second connector is mounted and fixed to the end of the moving iron core of the second electromagnet, and the other end is mounted in conjunction with the second baffle. The second baffle has a structure that passes through the hole. When the second electromagnet is not energized, i.e., in its normal state, the intersection between the second baffle and the space S reaches its maximum value. When the second electromagnet is energized, it drives the second baffle away from the space S along the normal direction of the second hole until the moving iron core of the second electromagnet is completely attracted, at which point the second baffle has no intersection with the space S. Furthermore, the design is that the second electromagnet in its normal state of not being energized is the "locked" state of the second lock assembly, and when the second electromagnet is energized and the moving iron core is completely attracted, it is the "unlocked" state of the second lock assembly.

[0009] Optionally, the two guide strips are symmetrically installed on the inner sides of the first side plate and the second side plate, respectively. The push block has a first guide groove on each side that mates with the guide strip. The first guide groove allows the push block to slide on the guide strip. The guide strip has a first limiting surface and a second limiting surface at both ends. The first limiting surface and the second limiting surface limit the travel of the push block on the guide strip. The push block has a hole, designed to insert one end of the compression spring into the post and the other end into the hole. At this time, due to the action of the compression spring, the push block is forced to be pushed against the limiting surface in a free state. Furthermore, the micro switch is installed and fixed on the inner side of the front plate. Specifically, the push block is pushed towards the limiting surface, and when the push block reaches the limiting surface, it just touches and triggers the micro switch.

[0010] Optionally, a handle is provided on the rear, and the first side and the second side are provided with a second guide groove with a symmetrical structure. The second guide groove can cooperate with the guide strip so that when the card box is pushed into the frame, the guide strip plays a guiding and limiting role for the card box.

[0011] (III) Beneficial Effects Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a highway toll card box installation device, which has the following advantages: This utility model utilizes a card box pushing-in installation device, the intention of which is to eliminate the need for reserved upper operating space to ensure the card box insertion action, avoid collisions between the card box and other components inside the chassis, limit the freedom of the card box's vertical movement, and prevent the tendency to tip over due to the high center of gravity caused by the card box's physical size. In particular, when the card box is pushed in until it can no longer be pushed in, that is, when the push block touches the limiting surface, and at the same time the first locking component and the second locking component are both in the "locked" state, the push block, the frame, the first locking component and the second locking component work together to "wrap" the card box. This invention, through its card holder fixing device, enables quick installation, one-click removal, and ensures safety and reliability while restricting the card holder's freedom of movement in all directions. Therefore, this invention effectively meets the installation requirements for card holder fixation. Attached Figure Description

[0014] 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.

[0015] Example: Please refer to Figures 1 to 9 The present invention provides a technical solution: a highway toll card holder installation device, comprising a frame 1, a first locking assembly 2, a second locking assembly 3, a pop-out assembly 4, and a card holder 5. The frame 1 includes a first side plate 11, a front plate 12, a second side plate 13, a bottom plate 14, guide strips 15, and fasteners 16; The first lock assembly 2 includes a first housing support 21, a first electromagnet 22, a first connector 23, and a first baffle 24; The second lock assembly 3 includes a second housing bracket 31, a second electromagnet 32, a second connector 33, a second baffle 34, a button 35, and a button bracket 36; The pop-out component 4 includes a cover 41, a push block 42, a compression spring 43, a guide bar 44, and a micro switch 45; Card box 5 includes at least a first side 51, a rear 52, a second side 55, and a front 54.

[0016] The first side plate 11 is designed to include a first hole 111, a first threaded post 112, and a first guide surface 113; the front plate 12 is designed to include a post 121; the second side plate 13 is designed to include a second hole 131, a second threaded post 132, and a second guide surface 133; the bottom plate 14 is designed to include a guide plate 141; the space S enclosed by the first side plate 11, the front plate 12, the second side plate 13, and the bottom plate 14 is used to install and fix the card box 5. The first outer shell bracket 21 is installed and fixed on the first side plate 11 in cooperation with the first threaded post 112. The first electromagnet 22 is installed and fixed on the first outer shell bracket 21. One end of the first connector 23 is installed and fixed on the end of the moving iron core of the first electromagnet 22, and the other end is installed in cooperation with the first baffle 24. The first baffle 24 is a structure that passes through the first hole 111. When the first electromagnet 22 is not energized, that is, under the normal state of the first electromagnet 22, the intersection of the first baffle 24 and the space S reaches the maximum value. When the first electromagnet 22 is energized and actuated, it drives the first baffle 24 away from the space S along the hole normal direction of the first hole 111 until the moving iron core of the first electromagnet 22 is completely attracted, and the intersection of the first baffle 24 and the space S reaches the minimum value. Button 35 is mounted and fixed on button bracket 36, button bracket 36 is fixed on second side plate 13, second housing bracket 31 is mounted and fixed on second side plate 13 in cooperation with second threaded post 132, second electromagnet 32 ​​is mounted and fixed on second housing bracket 31, one end of second connector 33 is mounted and fixed on the end of moving iron core of second electromagnet 32, and the other end is mounted in cooperation with second baffle 34. Second baffle 34 has a structure that passes through second hole 131. Two guide bars 44 are symmetrically installed on the inner side of the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 13, i.e., within the space S. The push block 42 is designed with first guide grooves 421 on both sides that cooperate with the guide bars 44. The first guide grooves 421 allow the push block 42 to slide on the guide bars 44. The two ends of the guide bars 44 are designed with first limiting surfaces 441 and second limiting surfaces 442. The first limiting surfaces 441 and second limiting surfaces 442 can limit the stroke of the push block 42 sliding on the guide bars 44. A handle 53 is provided on the rear 52. A second guide groove 551 with a symmetrical structure is provided on the first side 51 and the second side 55. The second guide groove 551 can cooperate with the guide bar 15 so that when the card box 5 is pushed into the frame 1, the guide bar 15 plays a guiding and limiting role on the card box 5. like Figure 8 As shown, it is assumed that the initial state is that the card box 5 is not loaded in the frame 1. After the device is powered on and started, in the free state, the compression spring 43 forces the push block 42 to be pushed tightly against the first limiting surface 441. At this time, the micro switch 45 detects that it is not in the touching state and feeds back its state to the control system. After receiving the state feedback from the micro switch 45, the control system issues a command to control the first electromagnet 22 and the second electromagnet 32 ​​to be energized at the same time. After the first electromagnet 22 and the second electromagnet 32 ​​are energized, their moving iron cores are completely attracted. At this time, the first baffle 24 and the second baffle 34 shown do not intersect with the space S, that is, the first locking component 2 and the second locking component 3 are both in the "unlocked" state.

[0017] like Figure 9 As shown, the card holder 5 is pushed horizontally into the frame 1 in the direction of the arrow until the second guide groove 551 of the card holder 5 begins to engage with the guide bar 15, at which point the front 54 just touches the push block 42; further, the card holder 5 is pushed in, and the push block 42 begins to slide due to the action of the card holder 5 and the engagement of the first guide groove 421 with the guide bar 44. Specifically, the push block 42 slides along the guide bar 44 from the first limiting surface 441 to the second limiting surface 442, and at the same time, the push block 42 begins to compress the compression spring 43; further, the card holder 5 is pushed in, and when... When the push block 42 touches the second limiting surface 442, the card box 5 cannot be pushed in any further. Furthermore, at this time, the push block 42 can just touch and trigger the micro switch 45. The micro switch 45 feeds back its status to the control system. After receiving the status feedback, the control system issues a command to control the first electromagnet 22 and the second electromagnet 32 ​​to be de-energized at the same time. The moving iron cores of the first electromagnet 22 and the second electromagnet 32 ​​are bounced back. The intersection of the first baffle 24 and the second baffle 34 with the space S reaches its maximum value, that is, the first locking component 2 and the second locking component 3 are both in the "locked" state.

[0018] In particular, such as Figure 9 As shown, a self-lubricating plastic plate 17 is installed and fixed inside the frame 1. The beneficial effect of the self-lubricating plastic plate 17 is to prevent the bottom of the card box 5 from dry friction with the frame 1 during the process of pushing the card box 5 into the frame 1, thereby reducing the life of the card box 5 and the frame 1.

[0019] Working principle: As described above, when the card holder 5 is completely fixed to the frame 1, to remove the card holder 5, simply click button 35. Specifically, after button 35 is clicked, a signal is fed back to the control system. The control system issues a command to simultaneously energize the first electromagnet 22 and the second electromagnet 32. After the first electromagnet 22 and the second electromagnet 32 ​​are energized, their moving iron cores are completely attracted. At this time, the first baffle 24 and the second baffle 34 shown do not intersect with space S, that is, the first locking assembly 2 and the second locking assembly 3 are both in the "unlocked" state. At this time, the push block... Under the action of the compression spring 45, the push block 42 slides from the second limiting surface 442 to the first limiting surface 441. Furthermore, the push block 42 pushes the card box 5. When the push block 42 touches the first limiting surface 441, the first guide groove 421 of the push block 42 disengages from the guide bar 44. Furthermore, at this time, the card box 5 has the freedom to move up, down, forward, and backward. Therefore, it is only necessary to pull out the card box 5 to achieve the requirement of removing the card box 5. Furthermore, this operation removes the card box 5 with one click, providing users with a solution for quickly removing the card box 5.

[0020] Specifically, the micro switch 45 controls the energization of the first locking component 2 and the second locking component 3. Specifically, when the micro switch 45 is not touched and triggered, both the first locking component 2 and the second locking component 3 will be simultaneously energized and in the "unlocked" state. The button 35 controls the de-energization of the first locking component 2 and the second locking component 3. Specifically, only when the micro switch 45 is touched and triggered, and then the button 35 is pressed, will both the first locking component 2 and the second locking component 3 be simultaneously de-energized and in the "locked" state. This prevents accidental touches of the button 35 from causing both components to be simultaneously de-energized and in the "locked" state. Furthermore, to ensure the overall usability of the device, when the device is not powered, the first locking component 2 and the second locking component 3 can be manually toggled to the "unlocked" state, which facilitates the removal of the card holder 5 when the device is not powered.

[0021] Specifically, when the card holder 5 is pushed in until it can no longer be pushed in, that is, when the push block 42 touches the second limiting surface 442, the second guide groove 551 and the guide bar 15 cooperate.
