Abstract

A toll charging device includes a body having a toll unit and the toll unit is connected with a detection unit which generates a corresponding detection signal when detecting the value of a coin/bill. A control unit is connected with a counting unit and the detection unit. The control unit receives the detection signal and sets a pre-set period of time to the counting unit. At least one power output port is connected with the control unit and outputs electric power according to the time counted by the counting unit. The at least one power output port is stopped when the pre-set period of time is ended. The toll charging device charges electric/electronic devices according to the coin/bill inserted into the toll unit. The toll charging device outputs direct current and alternating current.

Claims

1. A toll charging device comprising:

a body having a toll unit which is connected with a detection unit, the detection unit detecting a value of a coin/bill and generating a corresponding detection signal;

a control unit connected with a counting unit and the detection unit, the control unit receiving the detection signal and setting a pre-set period of time to the counting unit, and

at least one power output port connected with the control unit and outputting electric power according to time counted by the counting unit, the at least one power output port being stopped when the pre-set period of time is ended.

2. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the control unit is connected with a first light unit and a second light unit, when the control unit receives the detection signal and the at least one power output port does not yet output electric power, the first light unit is turned on, when the at least one power output port outputs electric power, the first light unit is shut off and the second light unit is turned on, when the pre-set period of time is ended, the second light unit is turned off.

3. The device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the first light unit is a green light and the second light unit is a red light.

4. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one power output port outputs alternating current or direct current.

5. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one power output port is an electric vehicle charging plug.

6. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one power output port is a cellular phone charging plug.

7. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one power output port is a battery charging plug.

8. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the control unit is connected to a display unit which displays the pre-set period of time and status of the counting unit.

9. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the body has a base connected to an underside thereof.

10. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the body has a hanging portion on a top thereof.
