Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of number-taking machines, in particular to an intelligent queuing number-taking machine. Background Art

[0002] The Queue Number Pickup Machine, also known as the "Ticket Pickup Machine," is a machine that effectively avoids long queues and provides convenience for customers when handling business. At the same time, customers only need to pick up their tickets on the touch screen of the Queue Number Pickup Machine when handling business.

[0003] Similar to the current intelligent queuing machine, there are still the following shortcomings:

[0004] 1. When the number-taking machine is in use, in order to determine the identity of the operator, the operator's face needs to be recognized and judged. However, when there are many people in the queue, it is inconvenient for the operator to adjust the distance between himself and the recognition module, which will affect the use effect.

[0005] 2. When the number-taking machine is in use, thermal paper is often needed for printing. However, after a period of use, the subsequent use will be affected due to the lack of thermal paper. However, it lacks an effective automatic replacement structure, which leads to limitations.

The mounting plate 21 has a mounting hole. The front end of the bracket 4 is provided with a groove. The left and right sides of the groove are provided with longitudinal grooves. The central control screen 10 is embedded in the groove opened at the front end of the bracket 4. The dust box 11 is hinged inside the groove. The central control screen 10 is a touch structure. When the pressure sensor 3 detects that there is a person who needs to take a number on the current pedal 2, the electric push rod B16 installed in the bracket 4 can be activated to lift the cleaning plate 17 slidingly connected to the longitudinal groove. When the cleaning plate 17 is disengaged from the contact switch 19 set inside the longitudinal groove, the central control screen 10 will be in a power-on state and display corresponding information. Under normal circumstances, the central control screen 10 can be in a screen-off state to reduce power consumption, thereby achieving a more environmentally friendly purpose.

[0041] Among them, a cleaning plate 17 is slidably connected to the inside of the longitudinal groove opened in the bracket 4, and a cleaning pad is provided on the side of the cleaning plate 17 close to the central control screen 10. The top of the cleaning plate 17 is connected to the bottom end of the electric push rod B16, and a mask 18 is fixedly connected between the cleaning plate 17 and the bracket 4. The mask 18 is a folding structure. The cleaning plate 17 and the mask 18 together constitute a shielding structure for the central control screen 10. A contact switch 19 is installed inside the longitudinal groove opened in the bracket 4. The contact switch 19 is electrically connected to the central control screen 10, and the contact switch 19 is used to open and close the central control screen 10. When the rangefinder 28 installed in the printer 24 detects that the paper roll limited in the limit rod 30 has been used up, The electric push rod D25 installed in the bracket 4 can be started synchronously to adjust the lateral position of the support frame 26, and the new thermal paper can be driven to move into the interior of the printer 24 synchronously by adjusting the lateral position of the support frame 26. At this time, the fan 29 installed on the top of the printer 24 is started to exhaust air through the air duct opened on the rear side of the printer 24. The exhaust of the air duct assists one end of the thermal paper to penetrate into the interior of the printer 24, and synchronously, the electric push rod C20 is started to drive the mounting base 22 and the guide roller 23 downward, and the contact between the guide roller 23 and the thermal paper is achieved to achieve the purpose of assisting paper feeding, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically switching the thermal paper.

[0042] When in use: First, when it is necessary to take a number, the person taking the number can step on the pedal 2 set in the base 1 and step on the pedal 2 downward. When the pedal 2 moves downward, it will squeeze the pressure sensor 3 installed on the top of the base 1, and the pressure sensor 3 can detect whether the person currently on the pedal 2 is in a continuous pressing state. The setting of the pressure sensor 3 can effectively reduce the problem of frequently opening the central control screen 10 due to accidental touch;

[0043] When the pressure sensor 3 detects that there is a person who needs to take a number on the current pedal 2, the electric push rod B16 installed in the bracket 4 can be activated to lift the cleaning plate 17 slidably connected to the inside of the longitudinal groove. When the cleaning plate 17 is disengaged from the contact switch 19 set in the longitudinal groove, the central control screen 10 will be in a powered state and display corresponding information. Under normal circumstances, the central control screen 10 can be in a screen-off state to reduce power consumption, thereby achieving a more environmentally friendly purpose.

[0044] And when the cleaning plate 17 and the mask 18 cover the central control screen 10 set in the bracket 4, it can effectively reduce the problem of external dust invading the central control screen 10 and affecting the operation. At this time, the user places the ID card on the identifier 6 set at the front end of the bracket 4 for reading and identification, and simultaneously starts the electric push rod A13 installed in the guide rail 12 to automatically adjust the distance between the central control 14 and the binocular lens 15 and the operator according to the current distance between the operator and the bracket 4, until the binocular lens 15 can fully obtain and identify the operator's facial information, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the operator's number-taking efficiency;

[0045] A collection box 7 and a guide plate 8 are provided at the front end of the bracket 4. An inclined partition is provided inside the collection box 7, so that when the operator accidentally forgets an ID card or other documents, the ID card will fall downward into the collection box 7. At this time, the ID card cannot be directly taken out from the top opening of the collection box 7. The lock on the mounting plate 21 needs to be removed, and then the baffle 9 is opened to take out the lost document from the inside of the collection box 7, thereby preventing the loss of documents.

[0046] After the operator's identity information is identified by the identifier 6 and the binocular lens 15 provided in the central controller 14, the printer 24 installed in the bracket 4 can be synchronously started to use the thermal paper limited in the limit rod 30 to print the number-taking information through the opening provided in the compartment door 5 for the operator to obtain, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic number taking;

[0047] When the rangefinder 28 installed in the printer 24 detects that the paper roll limited in the limit rod 30 has been used up, the electric push rod D25 installed in the bracket 4 can be synchronously started to adjust the lateral position of the support frame 26, and the new thermal paper can be synchronously driven to move into the interior of the printer 24 by adjusting the lateral position of the support frame 26. At this time, the fan 29 installed at the top of the printer 24 is started to exhaust air through the air duct opened on the rear side of the printer 24, and the exhaust of the air duct assists one end of the thermal paper to penetrate into the interior of the printer 24. At the same time, the electric push rod C20 is started to drive the mounting base 22 and the guide roller 23 downward, and the contact between the guide roller 23 and the thermal paper is realized to achieve the purpose of assisting paper feeding, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically switching the thermal paper.
