Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of self-service card dispensing machine technology, specifically an extension button for a self-service card dispensing machine at a toll station that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] In modern transportation systems, self-service card dispensing machines at toll stations are key equipment for ensuring efficient vehicle passage. Their core function is to provide card dispensing services to passing vehicles without human intervention, and they are widely used in toll collection scenarios such as highways, bridges, and tunnels. However, existing self-service card dispensing machines suffer from significant user pain points due to design limitations such as fixed card dispensing button placement and limited operating range. To complete the card retrieval operation, drivers need to precisely control the distance between the vehicle and the card retrieval machine. If the vehicle is parked too close, the front of the vehicle and the rearview mirror may scrape against the card retrieval machine or toll station facilities, causing damage to the vehicle. If the vehicle is parked too far away (beyond the natural range of arm extension), the driver will have to get out of the vehicle to retrieve the card or risk leaning out of the window to operate it, which not only increases the operational risk but also prolongs the passage time for a single vehicle. The inconvenience of card retrieval extends the passage time for individual vehicles, easily leading to lane congestion during peak traffic periods such as morning rush hours and holidays. Furthermore, the increased requests for assistance due to card retrieval difficulties require tollbooth staff to intervene frequently, diverting their attention from lane management and handling special situations (such as vehicle breakdowns or payment irregularities), resulting in a waste of human resources. Based on this, an extension button for a self-service card dispensing machine at a toll station, which is easy to install, is now provided to eliminate the existing drawbacks. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an easy-to-install extension button for a self-service card dispensing machine at a toll station, in order to solve the problems in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: An easy-to-install self-service card dispenser extension button for toll stations includes a fixed plate, an extension cylinder, and a sliding post one. The fixed plate is fixedly connected to the extension cylinder, and the sliding post one is slidably disposed inside the extension cylinder. A fixed ring is fixedly connected inside the extension cylinder, and the sliding post one is slidably connected to the fixed ring. The fixed plate is slidably connected to a second sliding post, which abuts against the first sliding post. Both the first and second sliding posts have chamfered edges on their periphery.

[0005] Based on the above technical solutions, this utility model also provides the following optional technical solutions: In one alternative: the sidewall of the fixing plate is provided with an adhesive ring.

[0006] In one alternative: a pressing plate is fixedly connected to both side walls of the sliding column, and a spring is fixedly connected between the pressing plate and the fixed plate.

[0007] In one alternative: a spring is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding column, and a spring is fixedly connected between the spring and the fixed ring.

[0008] In one alternative: a baffle is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding column.

[0009] In one alternative: the end of the sliding post one away from the sliding post two is provided with a threaded hole, the end of the sliding post one is provided with a pressing block, the pressing block is provided with a threaded post, and the pressing block is threadedly connected to the sliding post one.

[0010] In one alternative: the pressing block is made of fluorescent material.

[0011] In one alternative: reflective stickers are provided around the periphery of the extension tube.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention extends the card retrieval operation distance, allowing drivers to retrieve the card simply by reaching out and touching the button without needing to precisely adjust the vehicle's parking distance. This effectively avoids problems such as "scratching when parking too close" and "having to get out of the car / lean out when parking too far." During peak traffic periods such as morning rush hour and holidays, the lane capacity is significantly improved, effectively alleviating toll station queuing congestion.

[0013] This invention eliminates the need for the driver to lean out of the car window or get out of the vehicle to retrieve the card, avoiding the risks of physical contact, clothing scratches, and collisions with vehicles behind during the process of getting out of the car. It also reduces driving safety hazards caused by distraction in adjusting the vehicle's position, providing the driver with a safer card retrieval experience. Attached Figure Description

[0018] 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 the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, an extension button for a self-service card dispenser at a toll station that is easy to install includes a fixed plate 1, an extension cylinder 2, and a sliding post 6. The fixed plate 1 is fixedly connected to the extension cylinder 2, and the sliding post 6 is slidably disposed inside the extension cylinder 2. A fixing ring 9 is fixedly connected inside the extension cylinder 2, and the sliding post 6 is slidably connected to the fixing ring 9. A second sliding post 8 is slidably connected through the fixed plate 1, and the second sliding post 8 abuts against the first sliding post 6. Both the first sliding post 6 and the second sliding post 8 have chamfers on their circumferences.

[0020] Align the fixing plate 1 with the card retrieval button of the card retrieval machine, peel off the protective film on the surface of the adhesive ring 4, and stick it to the card retrieval button of the card retrieval machine to extend the card retrieval button. When a car passes by and needs to retrieve a card, press the pressing block 3. The pressing block 3 drives the sliding column 6 downward. The downward movement of the sliding column 6 drives the sliding column 8 to move, and the sliding column 8 squeezes the card retrieval button.

[0021] In one embodiment, the side wall of the fixing plate 1 is provided with an adhesive ring 4.

[0022] The fixing plate 1 is installed on the card dispenser by pasting.

[0023] In one embodiment, a pressing plate 7 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding column 8, and a spring is fixedly connected between the pressing plate 7 and the fixed plate 1.

[0024] In one embodiment, a spring piece 10 is fixedly connected to the periphery of the sliding column 6, and a spring is fixedly connected between the spring piece 10 and the fixed ring 9.

[0025] Sliding pin 6 and sliding pin 8 are reset by the action of the spring.

[0026] In one embodiment, a baffle 11 is fixedly connected to the periphery of the sliding post 6. The baffle 11 limits the movement of the sliding post 6.

[0027] In one embodiment, the end of the sliding post 6 away from the sliding post 8 is provided with a threaded hole, and the end of the sliding post 6 is provided with a pressing block 3. The pressing block 3 is provided with a threaded post, and the pressing block 3 is threadedly connected to the sliding post 6.

[0028] If the device has been used for a long time and is severely worn, the pressing block 3 can be rotated off and replaced.

[0029] In one embodiment, the pressing block 3 is made of fluorescent material.

[0030] The pressing block 3 is made of fluorescent material, so that the driver can clearly distinguish the pressing position at night.

[0031] In one embodiment, reflective stickers 5 are provided on the periphery of the extension tube 2.

[0032] The reflective stickers on the sides of the extension tube allow the driver to clearly identify the location of the extension button.

[0033] The above embodiments disclose an easy-to-install extension button for a self-service card dispensing machine at toll stations. Its specific working principle and process are as follows: When a car passes through a toll station, it needs to take a card from a self-service card dispenser. However, there is a problem: if the car is parked too close, it is easy to cause a collision; if it is too far away, the driver needs to get out of the car or lean out of the window to press the card dispenser button. This makes the card dispensing process inconvenient and prolongs the passage time.

[0034] Align the fixing plate 1 with the card retrieval button of the card retrieval machine, peel off the protective film on the surface of the adhesive ring 4 and stick it to the card retrieval button of the card retrieval machine to extend the card retrieval button. When a car passes by and needs to retrieve a card, press the pressing block 3. The pressing block 3 drives the sliding column 1 6 downward. The downward movement of the sliding column 1 6 drives the sliding column 2 8 to move. The sliding column 2 8 squeezes the card retrieval button. After releasing the hand, sliding pin 6 and sliding pin 8 return to their original positions under the action of the spring; The pressing block 3 is made of fluorescent material, so that the driver can clearly distinguish the pressing position at night; If the device has been used for a long time and is severely worn, the pressing block 3 can be rotated off and replaced. The reflective stickers on the sides of the extension tube allow the driver to clearly identify the location of the extension button.

[0035] With the addition of the extended button, drivers no longer need to deliberately adjust the parking distance; they can simply reach the button, significantly reducing the time for a single vehicle to pass through and greatly improving lane capacity during peak hours. At the same time, the need for manual intervention caused by difficulties in obtaining cards is reduced, allowing staff to devote more energy to lane management and handling special situations, resulting in more efficient allocation of human resources. The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
