Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transportation equipment technology, specifically to a toll card recycling mechanism and an automatic payment device. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, unmanned automatic card issuing systems at highway entrances have been increasingly widely used, reducing highway operating costs and improving traffic flow to some extent. However, exit lanes still mostly rely on manual or semi-automatic toll collection methods, paying tolls in cash, resulting in low efficiency and increasing labor and highway operating costs year by year. To further reduce highway operating costs and improve toll station efficiency, implementing unmanned toll collection at exit lanes has become an urgent need. Since toll cards need to be reused, they must be collected and sorted after collection.

[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN118062559B discloses a card sorting device with a robotic arm, including a conveyor belt mechanism, a card posture adjustment mechanism, a card reader / writer, a robotic arm gripping mechanism, and a card storage mechanism. The card storage mechanism has multiple storage areas arranged in a matrix array, each storage area equipped with two limiting plates located on opposite sides of the storage area. The robotic arm gripping mechanism, with its lateral and longitudinal movement and vertical extension, enables the collection and sorting of access cards. However, in the above technical solution, on the one hand, the collection mechanism composed of the card storage mechanism and the robotic arm gripping mechanism occupies a large amount of space within the equipment; on the other hand, this solution cannot be implemented when the equipment has multiple upper and lower conveyor belt mechanisms for card collection and retrieval. Furthermore, to meet the requirement of collecting and sorting access cards transported by multiple upper and lower conveyor belt mechanisms, the structure would inevitably become more complex and occupy even more space. Therefore, this utility model was developed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.

[0034] This utility model provides an embodiment of a pass card recycling mechanism; for details, see [link to specific details]. Figures 1 to 5 It includes a mounting frame 10, a robotic arm mechanism 20, and at least one recovery device 30. The mounting frame 10 is used to mount the robotic arm mechanism 20, and the recovery device 30 is located on the side of the mounting frame 10 and the robotic arm mechanism 20 (e.g., ...). Figure 1The horizontal frame 12 (shown on the left) is installed on the inner wall of the casing (not shown) of the automatic payment device for toll cards. In other words, the horizontal frame 12 and the robotic arm mechanism 20 are located between the conveyor belt mechanism and the recycling device 30. More specifically, the mounting frame 10 includes a vertical frame 11 and a horizontal frame 12. The vertical frame 11 has a vertical linear module that allows the horizontal frame 12 to slide vertically up and down along the vertical frame 11, driving the robotic arm mechanism 20 on the horizontal frame 12 to adjust its position in the height direction. When descending, it picks up the toll card from the conveyor belt mechanism (not shown), and after lifting, it places the toll card above the recycling device 30 and allows it to fall into the recycling device 30 for collection and arrangement. That is, one end of the horizontal frame 12 is connected to the vertical frame 11, and the other end extends horizontally and can be raised and lowered vertically relative to the vertical frame 11. At least one recycling device 30 extends in the same direction as the horizontal frame 12, and the recycling device 30 has several recycling slots 321 along its extension direction, i.e., its length direction. The robotic arm mechanism 20 is slidably mounted on the transverse frame 12 along its extension direction, allowing it to sequentially place access cards into different recycling slots 321. The robotic arm mechanism 20 can rotate vertically to switch between picking up access cards on the corresponding conveyor belt and placing them in the corresponding recycling slot 321, eliminating the need for vertical movement perpendicular to the transverse frame 12 in the horizontal plane. This simplifies the structure and reduces space requirements. The recycling device 30's alignment with the extension direction of the transverse frame 12 further reduces its footprint. To accommodate existing multi-layered conveyor belt mechanisms in automatic toll payment devices, a recycling device 30 can be installed at the end of each conveyor belt. Since the transverse frame 12 can be driven to move vertically up and down along the vertical frame 11, this vertical movement allows the robotic arm mechanism 20 to switch between multiple recycling devices 30. The recycling mechanism of this utility model embodiment has a simpler structure and occupies less space inside the device compared to the prior art, and the size of the entire automatic payment device for the toll card is also relatively small.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the robotic arm mechanism 20 includes a robotic arm assembly 22 and a lateral drive assembly 21. The robotic arm assembly 22 includes a main frame 221, a suction component 222, and a rotary drive assembly 223. The main frame 221 is a frame structure with a fixed plate at each of its top and bottom ends and a fixed post at each of the four corners between the two fixed plates. Figure 3As shown, the rotary drive assembly 223 is installed inside the main frame 221. The rotary drive assembly 223 includes a rotary drive motor 2231 whose drive end extends vertically beyond the fixed plate at the upper end of the main frame 221, and a horizontal rod 2232 horizontally disposed at the drive end of the rotary drive motor 2231. The suction component 222 is installed at the end of the horizontal rod 2232 away from the rotary drive motor 2231, with the suction end of the suction component 222 facing downwards. The drive end of the rotary motor drives the horizontal rod 2232 to rotate around a vertical line, thereby driving the suction component 222 to rotate synchronously around a vertical line, thus realizing the switching of the suction component 222 between the conveyor belt mechanism and the recycling device 30. Figure 3As shown, the suction component 222 includes a rotary motor 2221 and a suction nozzle 2222 located at the lower end of the rotary motor 2221. The suction nozzle 2222 uses vacuum to adsorb the access card, which is simpler in structure and easier and more stable to grip compared to a gripping claw mechanism. The rotary motor 2221 drives the suction nozzle 2222 to rotate vertically, adjusting the position of the access card on the nozzle so that the access card can match the collection slot 321 where the access card is to be placed. It should be noted that in this embodiment of the invention, when the robotic arm mechanism 20 is in its initial position, the horizontal bar 2232 is parallel vertically to the horizontal frame 12. Furthermore, the horizontal bar 2232 includes two horizontally rotatably connected crossbars and non-metallic connecting pieces 22324 located at the rotatable connection points of the two crossbars and fixed to the upper surfaces of the two crossbars respectively. The rotary motor 2221 and the rotary drive motor 2231 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom of the two crossbars at opposite ends. Specifically, for ease of distinction, the two crossbars are described as a first crossbar 22321 and a second crossbar 22322. That is, the crossbar 2232 includes a first crossbar 22321 and a second crossbar 22322 rotatably connected, and a non-metallic connecting piece 22324 located at the rotatable connection point of the first crossbar 22321 and the second crossbar 22322. More specifically, the second crossbar 22322 is horizontally positioned at the drive end of the rotary drive motor 2231. A rotary motor 2221 with its drive end facing downwards is fixed below the end of the first crossbar 22321 away from the second crossbar 22322. The first crossbar 22321 and the second crossbar 22322 are rotatably connected via a transversely positioned transverse pivot 22323, meaning the first crossbar 22321 can rotate up and down relative to the second crossbar 22322 around the transverse pivot 22323. A non-metallic connecting piece 22324 is laterally disposed at the rotatable connection between the first crossbar 22321 and the second crossbar 22322, and is partially connected to the upper surface of the first crossbar 22321 and partially connected to the upper surface of the second crossbar 22322. The material of the non-metallic connecting piece 22324 is not described or limited, but it may break under stress. Regarding the connection between the non-metallic connecting piece 22324 and the first crossbar 22321 and the second crossbar 22322, a detachable connection method is preferred, such as screw connection or other methods such as adhesive or snap-fit. In the initial state, the first crossbar 22321 is on the same horizontal plane as the second crossbar 22322 due to the torque of the transverse pivot 22323 and the fixation of the non-metallic connecting piece 22324. When the suction component 222 experiences a collision, such as when it moves downwards to collect a pass card and is subjected to excessive impact force, the first crossbar 22321 rotates upwards relative to the second crossbar 22322 around the transverse pivot 22323, causing the non-metallic connecting piece 22324 to break and thus protecting the suction component 222. Once the non-metallic connecting piece 22324 is damaged, it only needs to be replaced.The material of the non-metallic connecting piece 22324 is not specifically described or limited; it is a conventional non-metallic material that will break under bending force.

[0036] Preferably, on the side of the suction component 222, for example... Figure 3 A detection sensor 23 is also provided on the left side shown. The detection sensor 23 is communicatively connected to the suction component 222 and the controller (not shown). The detection sensor 23 is set up to detect whether the current recycling bin 321 is full of access cards. When it detects that it is full, it can move laterally to the position of other recycling bins 321 to collect and sort the access cards. After all recycling bins 321 are full, it notifies to replace the recycling box 32. As for the detection sensor 23, it is a conventional photoelectric sensor on the market. The specific structure and principle are not described and are not the innovation of this utility model.

[0037] For the lateral drive component 21, such as Figure 2 As shown, the system includes a transverse drive motor 211, a drive wheel 212, a driven wheel 213, and a transmission belt 214. The transverse drive motor 211 is located at the bottom of the transverse frame 12 near the vertical frame 11, with its drive end extending to the top surface of the transverse frame 12. A drive wheel 212 with an axial vertical direction is provided on the drive end of the drive motor. A driven wheel 213 is provided on the top surface of the other end of the transverse frame 12, i.e., the end away from the vertical frame 11. In this embodiment, there are two driven wheels 213, arranged parallel to each other along the width direction of the transverse frame 12. The diameter of any driven wheel 213 is smaller than that of the drive wheel 212. The transmission belt 214 is driven between the drive wheel 212 and the two driven wheels 213. One side of the fixing plate at the bottom of the main frame 221 is fixedly connected to the transmission belt 214 via two clamps (not shown). The lateral drive motor 211 drives the drive wheel 212 to rotate vertically, thereby driving the transmission belt 214 to transmit power, which in turn causes the rotary drive assembly 223 and the suction component 222, which are fixed to the transmission belt 214, to move laterally. The lateral drive motor 211 can rotate in both directions so that the main frame 221, the rotary drive assembly 223, and the suction component 222 can reciprocate at both ends of the lateral frame 12. As an alternative embodiment, the lateral drive assembly 21 can also be other drive mechanisms known to those skilled in the art, such as a combination of drive gears and racks. Further preferably, in order to improve the support strength of the main frame 221, the rotary drive assembly 223, and the suction component, and to improve the linearity of movement of the rotary drive assembly 223, the suction component, and the main frame 221, the lateral drive assembly 211 also includes a guide mechanism composed of a lateral guide rail 215 and a lateral slider 216. Specifically, as shown in the example... Figure 2As shown, on the top surface of the transverse frame 12, specifically between the drive wheel 212 and the two driven wheels 213, there is a transverse guide rail 215 extending along the extension direction of the transverse frame 12. The bottom of the fixing plate at the bottom of the main frame 221 is provided with a transverse slider 216, which is slidably connected to the transverse guide rail 215.

[0038] For the recycling device 30, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the device includes a mounting base 31 fixedly connected to the housing of the automatic payment device for toll cards, and a recycling box 32 detachably mounted on the mounting base 31. The recycling box 32 is a square box whose length direction is aligned with the extension direction of the transverse frame 12, with an opening at the top and multiple partitions in the middle to form multiple recycling slots 321. That is, each recycling slot 321 is also a rectangular prism-shaped slot, meaning that toll cards are stacked together along the depth direction within any recycling slot 321. In other words, the length and width of any recycling slot 321 match the length and width of the toll cards. To facilitate the removal of the recycling slot 321, an opening 322 is provided on the wall of any recycling slot 321 facing the robotic arm mechanism 20 or the horizontal frame 12. The opening 322 extends from the top opening of its corresponding recycling slot 321 toward the bottom of the slot. The height of any opening 322 is less than the depth of its corresponding recycling slot 321 and the width of any opening 322 is less than the width of the access card, thereby preventing the access card from falling out when it is stacked at the opening 322. Regarding the mounting base 31, this embodiment of the invention preferably includes two independent, generally L-shaped mounting bases 31 arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart along the length of the recycling box 32. Each mounting base 31 includes a base body 311 and two L-shaped locking blocks 312 disposed on the upper surface of the base body 311. The two locking blocks 312 are spaced apart on the base body 311 along the width direction to define a locking portion 3120 that matches the width of the recycling box 32. The two locking portions 3120 define a locking groove that matches the length of the recycling box 32. More preferably, to facilitate the disassembly of the recycling box 32 and its handling and counting, an outwardly protruding gripping portion 323 is provided on each of the two sides of the top of the recycling box 32. In this embodiment of the invention, the gripping portion 323 is exemplarily inverted triangular in shape. Preferably, in this embodiment of the invention, an IC card (not shown) can also be provided on the side of the recycling box 32, for example, on the side opposite to the clearance opening 322 of each recycling slot 321, so as to record the number of access cards in the recycling slot 321 and facilitate the device to identify the recycling box 32.

[0039] For the horizontal frame 12 to move vertically up and down along the vertical frame 11, optionally, the horizontal frame 12 is connected to the vertical frame 11 via a vertical slider 121, and a vertical drive assembly connected to the vertical slider 121 is also provided on the vertical frame 11. That is, the horizontal frame 12 is connected to the vertical drive assembly on the vertical frame 11 via the vertical slider 121. As for the vertical drive assembly, optionally, it includes a component located on one side of the top of the vertical frame 11, i.e., as shown in the image. Figure 1 The vertical drive motor 40 on the left side is shown, along with a vertically extending slide rail (not shown) and / or a vertical lead screw (not shown) mounted on the vertical frame 11. Specific details are not described or limited, as these are existing conventional technologies that are readily understood and implemented by those skilled in the art.

[0040] For the horizontal frame 12, such as Figure 2 As shown, it consists of a horizontal square plate (not shown) and a vertical triangular plate (not shown). The triangular plate serves as reinforcement and is a perforated plate. The lateral drive assembly 21 is mounted on the square plate.

[0041] In this embodiment, the access card recycling mechanism works as follows: When a access card that has been read and written and needs to be recycled is detected on the conveyor belt mechanism, the robotic arm mechanism 20 receives an instruction from the user to rotate to a suitable angle and position itself directly above the access card on the conveyor belt mechanism on one side of the horizontal frame 12. At this time, the detection sensor 23 on the side of the suction component 222 detects and identifies the height of the suction component 222 and the access card and feeds the signal back to the vertical drive component. The vertical drive component drives the horizontal frame 12 to descend until the suction component 222 picks up the access card and then rises to reset. After that, the robotic arm mechanism 20 rotates to the top of the recycling mechanism on the other side of the horizontal frame 12, with the position of the access card corresponding to the recycling slot 321, and then places the access card into the corresponding recycling slot 321. Whether the corresponding recycling slot 321 is full can be detected by setting a sensor or camera device (not shown) on the side of the main frame 221. Similarly, when it is necessary to collect access cards from conveyor belt mechanisms at different heights, the horizontal frame 12 is simply driven vertically up and down by the vertical drive component until the robotic arm mechanism 20 corresponds to the conveyor belt mechanism and the collection device 30 at the corresponding height. In summary, the collection device 30 is positioned on the side opposite the robotic arm mechanism 20 and the conveyor belt mechanism. The robotic arm mechanism 20 can reciprocate along the extension direction of the horizontal frame 12 and rotate around a vertical line to allow the suction component 222 to switch back and forth between the conveyor belt mechanism and the collection device 30. Simultaneously, the collection device 30 extends along the lateral sliding direction of the robotic arm mechanism 20, which is also the extension direction of the horizontal frame 12, and is equipped with multiple collection slots 321. When the robotic arm mechanism 20 slides on the horizontal frame 12, it can place access cards into different collection slots 321. The horizontal frame 12 can vertically rise and fall along the vertical frame 11 to allow the robotic arm mechanism 20 to switch between collection devices 30 at different heights. Compared to the card sorting device in the background technology, it has a simpler structure and is easier to operate. It has a smaller structural size and occupies less space, without increasing the size and floor area of ​​the equipment. At the same time, it can adapt to equipment with multi-layer conveyor belt mechanisms without making major structural modifications.

[0042] This utility model embodiment also provides an automatic toll payment device, including the toll card recycling mechanism described in the above embodiment, and a conveyor belt mechanism. In addition, it includes some conventional components of automatic toll payment devices, such as a frame (including a housing), a camera device, a touch display panel, and an invoice printing mechanism. Specific details are not described or limited, and are not the innovation of this utility model. Since it possesses the toll card recycling mechanism described in the above embodiment, it at least has the beneficial effects of the toll card recycling mechanism described in the above embodiment, and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0043] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative or explanatory of the principles of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be included within its protection scope.
