DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar notations represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary only, and are used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0051] The card collecting device according to an embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to Figs. 1-8, which comprises a frame 100, a transmission mechanism 200, a shutter mechanism 300, a locking mechanism 400 and a driving mechanism.

[0052] The transmission mechanism 200 is movably arranged between the first position and the second position on the frame 100.

[0053] It can be understood that the transmission mechanism 200 is convenient for card feeding when in the first position, and is convenient for card storage when in the second position.

[0054] It should be noted that the card can be a radio frequency card, which can be read and written through radio frequency technology, such as a highway composite pass card. The card collecting device in the present embodiment can be installed at the highway exit for reading the pass card of the vehicle owner. Of course, the card collecting device in the present embodiment can also be used in other places for card reading and writing, such as subway stations or scenic spots. The present embodiment is described by taking the highway exit as an example.

[0055] The shutter mechanism 300 is movably arranged on the frame 100, and the shutter mechanism 300 and the transmission mechanism 200 jointly form a containing space 600 with a card placing opening and a card outlet opening. That is, the card owner can place the card into the containing space 600 from the card placing opening, and when it is identified that the card is a normal card, the card can be controlled to enter the card box from the card outlet opening, so as to realize the recycling of the card. It should be noted that the sizes of the card placing opening, the card outlet opening and the containing space 600 can be designed according to actual needs, and the embodiment does not make specific limitation on this.

[0056] The locking mechanism 400 is movably arranged on the frame 100 and has a locked state and an unlocked state. When the transmission mechanism 200 is in the first position, the locking mechanism 400 is always in the locked state and is locked with the shutter mechanism 300, so as to open the card placing opening and close the card outlet opening. When the transmission mechanism 200 is in the second position, the locking mechanism 400 is adapted to be in the unlocked state and is unlocked with the shutter mechanism 300, so as to open the card outlet opening.

[0057] It can be understood that when the card owner approaches the card placing device, the transmission mechanism 200 is in the first position, and the card placing opening of the containing space 600 is opened and the card outlet opening is closed through the locking mechanism 400. When the card owner mistakenly puts an irrelevant card (such as a bank card or an ID card) into the containing space 600 through the card placing opening, the card owner can timely and actively take out the irrelevant card from the card placing opening, and then when only the required card exists in the containing space 600, the transmission mechanism 200 is in the second position, and the card outlet opening is opened through the locking mechanism 400, so that the card can automatically fall into the card box from the card outlet opening.

[0058] The driving mechanism is connected with the transmission mechanism 200 and the locking mechanism 400 respectively, and is used for driving the transmission mechanism 200 to switch between the first position and the second position, and driving the locking mechanism 400 to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state.

[0059] It can be understood that when the card owner approaches the card placing device, the driving mechanism drives the transmission mechanism 200 to switch to the first position, and drives the locking mechanism 400 to be in the locked state, so that the card can be normally put into the containing space 600 through the card placing opening, and the irrelevant object in the containing space 600 can be timely taken out by the card owner and the staff due to the closing of the card outlet opening. When it is identified that the card in the containing space 600 is normal, the driving mechanism drives the transmission mechanism 200 to switch to the second position, and drives the locking mechanism 400 to be in the unlocked state, so that the card can slide into the card box through the card outlet opening, thereby improving the operation service and the passing efficiency.

[0060] According to the card receiving device provided by the embodiment of the present application, by arranging the driving mechanism and the locking mechanism 400, the card feeding and card collecting functions are realized, and the locking mechanism 400 is used to open the card feeding port and close the card collecting port when the transmission mechanism 200 is in the first position, so that the vehicle owner can take out the foreign matter in the accommodation space 600 in time when the foreign matter is accidentally fed into the accommodation space 600, the operation is convenient, and the operation service and the passing efficiency are improved.

[0061] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1-8, the transmission mechanism 200 includes a bearing plate 210 and two oppositely arranged baffles 220, the two baffles 220 are respectively connected with two ends of the bearing plate 210 arranged in the horizontal direction, and one side of the bearing plate 210 is rotationally arranged on the rack 100; the gate mechanism 300 includes a first gate plate 310 and a second gate plate 320, one side of the first gate plate 310 is rotationally arranged on the rack 100; one side of the second gate plate 320 is rotationally arranged on the other side of the first gate plate 310, and the bearing plate 210, the baffles 220, the first gate plate 310 and the second gate plate 320 form an accommodation space 600; wherein the bearing plate 210 extends in the horizontal direction when in the first position, and the side of the bearing plate 210 rotationally connected with the rack 100 abuts and cooperates with the other side of the second gate plate 320; the bearing plate 210 extends in the vertical direction when in the second position, and the side of the bearing plate 210 rotationally connected with the rack 100 is adapted to be disengaged from the second gate plate 320.

[0062] For convenience of description, in the first position, the length direction of the bearing plate 210 is the horizontal direction, i.e. the left-right direction; the width direction of the bearing plate 210 is the front-rear direction, and the thickness direction of the bearing plate 210 is the vertical direction, i.e. the up-down direction.

[0063] It can be understood that the two baffles 220 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the bearing plate 210, the upper end of the first gate plate 310 is rotationally arranged on the rack 100 through the first rotating shaft 110, and the upper end of the second gate plate 320 is rotationally arranged on the lower part of the first gate plate 310 through the second rotating shaft 120. In the first position, the bearing plate 210 is horizontally placed, and the lower end of the second gate plate 320 is in abutting cooperation with the rear side of the bearing plate 210, so that the upper end of the accommodation space 600 is open to form a card drop opening, which facilitates the card to fall on the bearing plate 210 and ensures that the card will not fall into the card box below from the connection between the bearing plate 210 and the second gate plate 320; in the second position, the bearing plate 210 drives the baffles 220 to rotate upward with the rear side of the bearing plate 210 as the axis until the bearing plate 210 is vertically placed, thereby driving the card to be located at the lower part of the accommodation space under the action of gravity, and then driving the second gate plate 320 to rotate backward along the upper end of the second gate plate 320 as the axis to move away from the bearing plate 210, so that the lower end of the accommodation space 600 is open to form a card outlet opening, and the card falls from between the second gate plate 320 and the bearing plate 210 into the card box under the action of gravity.

[0064] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the second gate plate 320 includes a base plate 321 and a plurality of first stop portions 322 arranged in the horizontal direction at intervals, the first stop portions 322 are installed on the base plate 321 and protrude from the side of the base plate 321 away from the first gate plate 310; the bearing plate 210 includes a main body portion 211 and a plurality of second stop portions 212 arranged in the horizontal direction at intervals, the main body portion 211 forms an avoidance groove 2111 with an opening to one side; the second stop portions 212 are installed on the inner side wall of the avoidance groove 2111 and protrude from the avoidance groove 2111, and in the first position, the first stop portions 322 at least partially extend into the avoidance groove 2111 and are in staggered connection with the second stop portions 212. It should be noted that the shapes of the first stop portions 322 and the second stop portions 212 can be designed according to actual needs, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations thereon.

[0065] It can be understood that in the first position, the plurality of first stop portions 322 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction at the lower end of the base plate 321, the plurality of second stop portions 212 are arranged in the left-right direction at intervals in the avoidance groove 2111 formed by the rear side opening of the main body portion 211, and the first stop portions 322 and the second stop portions 212 are in staggered abutment in the left-right direction, while the front lower part of the first stop portions 322 abuts with the inner side wall of the avoidance groove 2111, thereby guiding the posture of the card placed in the accommodation space 600 while reducing the entry of sundries (dust, particles, etc.) into the card box.

[0066] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the second stop portion 212 has a guide surface 2121 and two oppositely arranged matching surfaces 2122 connected with the guide surface 2121, wherein, in the first position, the guide surface 2121 is inclined downward in a direction away from the opening, and the lower end of the guide surface 2121 is smoothly connected with the upper surface of the main body portion 211, and the two matching surfaces 2122 are respectively in abutment with the side surfaces adjacent to the two first stop portions 322.

[0067] It can be understood that, in the first position, the guide surface 2121 of each second stop portion 212 is inclined downward from back to front, thereby guiding the card to be placed in the accommodation space 600 in a preset posture, and in addition, the guide surface 2121 and the surface of the main body portion 211 close to the avoidance groove 2111 are smoothly connected, thereby reducing the friction when the card is placed and reducing the risk of damage to the card. It can be understood that the inclination angle and size of the guide surface 2121 can be designed according to actual needs, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations thereto.

[0068] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the two matching surfaces 2122 located at the first and last ends of the plurality of second stop portions 212 in the horizontal direction each include an inclined surface 21221, wherein, in the first position, the two inclined surfaces 21221 are inclined in a direction away from each other from top to bottom. It should be noted that the inclination angle and size of the inclined surface 21221 can be designed according to actual needs, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations thereto.

[0069] It can be understood that the matching surface 2122 on the left side of the second stop portion 212 located at the leftmost side is at least partially inclined leftward from top to bottom, and the matching surface 2122 on the right side of the second stop portion 212 located at the rightmost side is at least partially inclined rightward from top to bottom, thereby helping to disperse the impact force when the card is placed and reducing the possibility that the card will stand up when placed on the left and right sides close to the corresponding baffle 220, and ensuring the reading efficiency of the card.

[0070] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8, the second gate plate 320 further includes a plurality of rolling bodies 323, which are in one-to-one correspondence with the first stop portions 322 and are rotationally connected, and the outer peripheral wall portion of the rolling body 323 is adapted to be in rolling cooperation with the inner side wall of the avoidance groove 2111. Exemplarily, the rolling body 323 includes but is not limited to a roller.

[0071] It can be understood that the rolling body 323 is rotationally arranged at the front end of the first stop portion 322 along the left-right axis, thereby providing smooth rolling contact during the placement of the card, reducing friction, and prolonging the service life of the card collecting device and the card. At the same time, the rolling body 323 can also improve the accuracy of card placement and adapt to different card thicknesses, and guide the card by improving the continuous and smooth characteristics of the outer side wall of the rolling body 323, thereby reducing the possibility of the card standing up.

[0072] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1-6, the locking mechanism 400 comprises a transmission shaft 410, a driving link 420, a driven link 430, a first stopper 440 and a second stopper 450, one end of the driving link 420 is hinged to the frame 100 through a driving mechanism, the other end of the driving link 420 is hinged to the transmission shaft 410; both ends of the driven link 430 are hinged to the transmission shaft 410 and the first shutter plate 310 respectively; the first stopper 440 is arranged on the frame 100; the second stopper 450 is arranged on the first shutter; wherein, in the first position, the first stopper 440 is adapted to abut against the driving link 420, and the second stopper 450 is adapted to abut against the second shutter plate 320; in the second position, the first stopper 440 is disengaged from the driving link 420, and the second stopper 450 is disengaged from the second shutter plate 320.

[0073] It should be noted that the transmission shaft 410 extends in the left-right direction, and both left and right ends of the transmission shaft 410 are provided with the driving link 420 and the driven link 430 to ensure the stability of movement.

[0074] It can be understood that, in the first position, as shown in FIG. 3, if someone pushes the first shutter plate 310 backward from the card outlet, the first shutter plate 310 rotates backward with the upper side as the rotation axis, thereby driving the driven link 430 to move backward, and the upper end of the driving link 420 is sleeved outside the driving shaft of the driving motor 510 of the driving mechanism, so that the driving link 420 rotates forward with the upper end as the rotation axis until it abuts against the first stopper 440, thereby limiting the range of forward rotation of the first shutter plate 310, avoiding the situation that the first shutter plate 310 is pushed open to cause the card outlet to open; if someone cards the first shutter plate 310 forward from the card outlet, the lower side of the second shutter plate 320 abuts against the bearing plate 210, so that the second shutter plate 320 rotates backward with the lower side as the rotation axis until it abuts against the second stopper 450, avoiding the situation that the first shutter plate 310 is pulled out to cause the card outlet to open, ensuring that the card outlet is always closed in the first position. In the second position, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the bearing plate 210 rotates upward with the rear end as the rotation axis to the vertical state, the driving shaft of the driving motor 510 rotates, thereby driving the driving link 420 to rotate backward with the upper end as the rotation axis, thereby driving the driven link 430 to move backward, so that the first shutter plate 310 rotates backward with the upper side as the rotation axis, and the second shutter plate 320 is also driven away from the bearing plate 210, thereby realizing the opening of the card outlet.

[0075] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the locking mechanism 400 further comprises a resilient member 460, two ends of the resilient member 460 being connected with the first shutter plate 310 and the second shutter plate 320 respectively, for driving the second shutter plate 320 to always approach the bearing plate 210. Exemplarily, the resilient member 460 includes but is not limited to a torsion spring.

[0076] It can be understood that, by driving the second shutter plate 320 to always approach the bearing plate 210 through the resilient member 460, after the bearing plate 210 is rotated upward to the vertical state with the rear end as the rotation axis, and before the first shutter plate 310 drives the second shutter plate 320 to rotate backward away from the bearing plate 210, due to the gap between the surfaces of the first shutter plate 310 and the bearing plate 210 approaching each other in the front-rear direction, the second shutter plate 320 and the bearing plate 210 are closed by the first stop portion 322 and the second stop portion 212 to effectively temporarily store a single card and prevent the card or other foreign matter from falling out of the accommodation space 600.

[0077] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the card collecting device further comprises a third limiting member 700, a top end of the third limiting member 700 being arranged in the shutter mechanism 300, a bottom end of the third limiting member 700 extending out of the shutter mechanism 300, for limiting the activity range of the card from the ejection opening to separate from the accommodation space 600.

[0078] It can be understood that, the upper end of the third limiting member 700 is mounted on the second shutter plate 320, and the lower end of the third limiting member 700 freely extends to the outside of the lower end of the second shutter plate 320, so as to ensure that the card can accurately fall into the card box when the card separates from the accommodation space 600 by the gravity of the third limiting member 700 itself. The third limiting member 700 has a cloth shape, and has a soft characteristic.

[0079] In some embodiments, the card collecting device further comprises a controller and a card reading mechanism, the controller being in communication connection with the upper computer and the driving mechanism respectively, the controller controlling the driving mechanism to drive the transmission mechanism 200 to be in the second position when the controller does not receive the vehicle signal sent by the upper computer. The controller controls the driving mechanism to drive the transmission mechanism 200 to rotate from the second position to the first position when the controller receives the vehicle signal sent by the upper computer, and controls the locking mechanism 400 to be in the locked state, and the card reading mechanism enters the card reading state at the same time. Then, the controller controls the driving mechanism to drive the transmission mechanism 200 to switch to the second position when the controller receives the card reading completion signal sent by the card reading mechanism, and controls the card reading mechanism to be closed and the locking mechanism 400 to be switched to the unlocked state.

[0080] The application further provides a charging system. The charging system comprises a card box and the card receiving device, the card box is formed with a receiving cavity of a card inlet, and the card receiving device is installed on the card box, and the card outlet of the card receiving device is arranged in correspondence with the card inlet. It should be noted that the size and shape of the card box and the card inlet can be designed according to actual needs, and the present application does not make specific limitations in this regard.
