Background
Due to the popularity of automobiles, the number of automobiles running on a road is increased, and the work of vehicle traffic management and intersection charging is also increased. The card collection and charging are carried out manually, so that the working intensity is high and the efficiency is poor. It is difficult to complete the large batch of card collection and charging in a short time. The existing self-service toll collector usually needs to get off due to the structural problem, and the parking fault-tolerant rate of the automobile is low. Although the ETC system is popularized, a considerable part of people cannot use the ETC vehicle-mounted device, and sometimes the communication fault of an ETC lane can be caused due to the looseness and movement of OBU equipment, so that the serious traffic jam phenomenon of a toll gate is caused.
Meanwhile, the pass cards in the market are different in size and thickness and are large in difference. The applicant of the present invention found that: the common card collecting machine adopts an upper hard roller and a lower hard roller to pull a transmission card, the gap between the two rollers is determined, the compatibility of the card thickness is poor, the card used for a long time is abraded, and when the abrasion reaches a certain degree, the card is detected to generate a slipping phenomenon. Due to the strict requirement on the size of the card, the card receiving device needs to be replaced when the style of the card needs to be replaced, and manpower and material resources are greatly wasted.
