Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of card swiping consumption terminals, in particular to a self-service card swiping consumption terminal machine. Background Art
[0002] In people's daily shopping, POS (credit card) machines are used very frequently, especially for merchants. POS has greatly improved the merchants' settlement efficiency because of its convenient and fast payment method.
[0003] Currently, in large supermarkets and shopping malls, POS machines are generally placed directly on the counter. When paying, the user simply slides the card through the card slot of the card reader to complete the payment operation. However, when sliding the card or when children are playing near the counter, the customer's elbow or the child may easily hit the POS machine. Since the POS machine lacks a fixed part, the POS machine is easy to fall and be damaged, and a fallen POS machine may easily injure the customer or children. There is still room for improvement.
[0004] In view of this, a self-service card swiping terminal consumption machine is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a self-service card swiping terminal consumption machine in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

When the micro valve is in an open state, external air enters the suction cup through the gas channel and the air inlet hole to achieve air pressure balance between the inner and outer ends of the suction cup.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, it also includes a thermal printer, which is embedded in the upper end of the shell and electrically connected to the PCB mainboard.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the suction cup is made of silicone and is injection-molded as an insert in a mold integrally with the housing.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, it further includes a display screen and an operation button, wherein the display screen and the operation button are arranged at the upper end of the shell, and the display screen is electrically connected to the PCB mainboard.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, it also includes a switch button and a transmission interface, which are arranged on the side wall of the shell and are electrically connected to the PCB mainboard.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a battery box is further included, and the battery box is accommodated in the housing and electrically connected to the PCB mainboard.
[0012] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0013] 1. In the utility model, a suction cup for vacuum adsorption is designed under the shell.

[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.
[0021] Reference Figure 1-4A self-service card swiping terminal consumption machine comprises: a shell 1, a card reader 4 is arranged at the upper end of the shell 1, a PCB mainboard 12 electrically connected to the card reader 4 is accommodated inside the shell 1, a suction cup 10 is arranged at the bottom center of the shell 1, and is used to vacuum adsorb the shell 1 at a placement place, and a suction cup 10 for vacuum adsorption is designed under the shell 1. When the device is placed on the counter, the device can be pressed down with a little force to discharge the gas in the suction cup 10. At this time, the inside of the suction cup 10 is similar to a vacuum state, so it can be adsorbed on the counter, and it is not easy to fall off during use, thereby ensuring the safety during operation.
[0022] Furthermore, an air inlet 11 connected to the suction cup 10 is provided at the center of the bottom wall of the shell 1, and a micro valve 2 is provided on the side wall of the shell 1. A gas channel 13 connected to the micro valve 2 is provided at the upper end of the bottom wall of the shell 1, and the bottom end of the gas channel 13 is connected to the air inlet 11. When the micro valve 2 is in an open state, external air enters the suction cup 10 through the gas channel 13 and the air inlet 11 to achieve air pressure balance at the inner and outer ends of the suction cup 10. When the device needs to be shifted, the micro valve 2 is opened. At this time, external air enters the suction cup 10, and the air pressure inside and outside the suction cup 10 is basically balanced, so the device can be moved very conveniently.
[0023] It should be mentioned that when the suction cup 10 is adsorbing, the micro valve 2 can be closed accordingly.
[0024] Furthermore, it also includes a thermal printer 3, which is embedded in the upper end of the shell 1 and electrically connected to the PCB main board 12. The thermal printer 3 is integrated on the shell 1, which can print payment data after payment, which can be used as a user's consumption voucher, can be reimbursed according to the receipt, or used as a rights protection voucher when quality problems are encountered when purchasing goods.
[0025] Among them, the thermal printer 3 is an existing technology that has been implemented, and the specific structure will not be described here.
[0026] Furthermore, the suction cup 10 is made of silicone, and is injection-molded as an insert in a mold together with the shell 1 . The above design can combine the suction cup 10 and the shell 1 into a whole to ensure the sealing of the connection between the suction cup 10 and the shell 1 .
[0027] Furthermore, it also includes a display screen 5 and an operation button 6, which are arranged at the upper end of the shell 1. The display screen 5 is electrically connected to the PCB main board 12. The display screen 5 can display the information to be paid, so that the customer can check whether the payment information is accurate.
[0028] Furthermore, it also includes a switch button 8 and a transmission interface 7. The switch button 8 and the transmission interface 7 are arranged on the side wall of the shell 1 and are electrically connected to the PCB motherboard 12. The transmission interface 7 can be connected to a power source or a computer.
[0029] Furthermore, it also includes a battery box 9, which is accommodated in the shell 1 and electrically connected to the PCB mainboard 12. The battery box 9 has a built-in battery that can provide a power source for the entire device.
[0030] To summarize, a suction cup 10 for vacuum adsorption is designed under the shell 1. When placing the device on the counter, the device can be pressed down with a little force to expel the gas in the suction cup 10. At this time, the inside of the suction cup 10 is similar to a vacuum state, so it can be adsorbed on the counter. It is not easy to fall off during use, thereby ensuring safety during operation.
[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
