DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The present invention will be further described below in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Reference Figure 1-6 As shown,

[0020] A self-service terminal that is easy to maintain, includes a shell 1, a display 2, and an opening and closing door 3 arranged on the shell 1 and located below the display 2. A flip plate 4 is arranged at a position on the shell 1 corresponding to the display 2. The flip plate 4 can be installed on the shell 1 to be flipped up and down, and the display 2 is installed on the flip plate 4. A retaining edge 41 is arranged below the flip plate 4. The retaining edge 41 is used to cooperate with the opening and closing door 3 for locking. When the opening and closing door 3 is closed and locked, the opening and closing door 3 abuts against the retaining edge 41 to limit the flip plate 4 from flipping upward.

[0021] In the present solution, the display 2 is arranged on the flip plate 4 and is opened and closed by flipping up and down. Preferably, the upper edge of the flip plate 4 is hinged with the housing 1 and flipped up and down at the hinge. There is also an opening and closing door 3 below the display 2. When the opening and closing door 3 is closed and locked, the upper edge of the opening and closing door 3 locks the retaining edge 41 by using the flip plate 4 to cooperate with the opening and closing door 3, so that the flip plate 4 cannot be flipped upward, and the opening and closing door 3 and the flip plate 4 can be locked by one locking component. Moreover, this maintenance method is carried out from the front, which can provide a more convenient maintenance function. After the opening and closing door 3 is unlocked, the opening and closing door 3 can be automatically pushed open by the retaining edge 41 while the flip plate 4 is flipped upward, and the opening and closing door 3 and the flip plate 4 can also be quickly opened.

[0022] In specific use, the flip plate 4 can be flipped and driven by the hydraulic rod 5, as follows:

[0023] A hydraulic rod 5 is arranged in the shell 1, and one end of the hydraulic rod 5 is connected to the inside of the shell 1, and the other end is connected to the flip plate 4. When the flip plate 4 flips downward to the right position, the hydraulic rod 5 is in a compressed state, and cooperates with the opening and closing door 3 and the retaining edge 41 to limit the flipping of the flip plate 4 upward; when the opening and closing door 3 is unlocked, the flip plate 4 flips upward under the restoring action of the hydraulic rod 5, and pushes the opening and closing door 3 open through the retaining edge 41.

[0024] One end of the hydraulic rod 5 connected to the inside of the shell 1 serves as a fulcrum. When the hydraulic rod 5 is extended under the action of the hydraulic pressure, the fulcrum will be used to lift up the flip plate 4 to realize the flipping of the flip plate 4. At this time, the flip plate 4 will open the opening and closing door 3 at the same time. Under this action, the maintenance personnel only need to press the opening and closing door 3 and unlock it. After unlocking, release the opening and closing door 3 to allow the opening and closing door 3 and the flip plate 4 to open automatically under the action of the hydraulic rod 5.

[0025] Different from the aforementioned scheme in which the hydraulic rod 5 can lift up the flip plate 4 when the opening and closing door 3 is unlocked, in order to improve safety, in this scheme, the upper edge of the flip plate 4 can be connected to the outer shell 1 in a flipable manner, and the position of the connection is the first hinge point. A connecting piece 66 for hingedly connecting the hydraulic rod 5 is provided on the surface of the flip plate 4 corresponding to the inside of the outer shell 1, and the hinge position is the second hinge point. When the flip plate 4 flips down into place, the line formed by the connection of the first hinge point and the second hinge point forms an obtuse angle with the center line of the hydraulic rod 5, and the opening of the obtuse angle faces the flip plate 4 to limit the automatic pop-up of the flip plate 4 after the opening and closing door 3 is opened.

[0026] The effect of this obtuse angle can make the flip plate 4 remain in its original state after the opening and closing door 3 is unlocked. Only when the staff slightly rotates the flip plate 4 upwards, the hydraulic rod 5 will contract and the angle of the obtuse angle will change, until the angle becomes 180° and continues to change slightly. At this time, the hydraulic rod 5 extends out under the action of hydraulic pressure and lifts up the flip plate 4. This solution will not automatically lift up the flip plate 4 directly after the opening and closing door 3 is unlocked, but requires a slight manual force to allow the flip plate 4 to flip a certain distance before it will automatically lift up.

[0027] The connecting piece 66 is used to better connect the hydraulic rod 5 , and has a better supporting effect and a movable space for the hydraulic rod 5 .

[0028] In a further configuration, a positioning assembly 6 is provided at a position corresponding to the opening and closing door 3 in the housing 1, for cooperating with the opening and closing door 3 for positioning; the positioning assembly 6 includes a fixing rod 61 for fixedly connecting with the housing 1, a positioning member 62 rotatably connected to the fixing rod 61, a plurality of positioning posts 63 are provided on the positioning member 62, and the positioning member 62 is also laterally extended with an elastic member 64, the elastic member 64 is arranged in an arc shape, for cooperating with the inner surface of the opening and closing door 3 to abut, and the elastic member 64 is prior to the positioning post 63 and the opening and closing door 3. The closing door 3 is fitted; a socket 31 is provided at the position of the positioning column 63 of the opening and closing door 3, and when the opening and closing door 3 is closed, it first abuts against the elastic member 64, and as the elastic member 64 is deformed and the positioning member 62 rotates, the positioning column 63 corresponds to the position of the socket 31 on the opening and closing door 3, and as the opening and closing door 3 is closed, the positioning column 63 is inserted into the socket 31 to form a positioning; when the opening and closing door 3 is unlocked, the elastic member 64 is restored and the opening and closing door 3 is bounced open, and the flip plate 4 opens the opening and closing door 3 under the push of the hydraulic rod 5.

[0029] The function of the positioning assembly 6 is to make the opening and closing door 3 more stable after closing and reduce abnormal noise. Since the opening and closing door 3 is limited by the flip plate 4 above, it has good stability and can cooperate with the hydraulic rod 5 to keep the retaining edge 41 and the opening and closing door 3 in a certain abutment. The abutment can make the opening and closing door 3 rotate outward for a certain stroke, cooperate with the locking component to tighten, and reduce vibration and shaking. The lateral vibration can be improved by the positioning column 63 and the socket 31. When the opening and closing door 3 is closed, the opening and closing door 3 is first opened and closed. 3 will contact the elastic member 64, at this time, the positioning member 62 will rotate with the force of the elastic member 64, at this time, the positioning member 62 will approach the insertion hole 31 on the opening and closing door 3 as it rotates, and the positioning column 63 on the positioning member 62 is inserted into the insertion hole 31. The cooperation between the insertion hole 31 and the positioning column 63 can provide a better lateral positioning effect and reduce lateral shaking. At the same time, when the opening and closing door 3 is unlocked, the elastic member 64 will recover and provide a certain elastic force to allow the opening and closing door 3 to open automatically, which can reduce the resistance to the upward flipping of the flip plate 4 and make the opening and closing smoother.

[0030] The positioning member 62 is preferably connected to the fixing rod 61 in a flippable manner. After the opening and closing door 3 is opened, the positioning member 62 will flip downward under the action of gravity, reducing the impact on the inspection and avoiding obstruction of the inspection. In particular, the elastic member 64 is located at the upper part, at which time the weight at the upper part is larger, and can be swung and flipped downward under the action of gravity.

[0031] In addition, in order to make it easier for the socket 31 to form a fit with the positioning column 63, the length of the socket 31 in the longitudinal direction is greater than the horizontal width, so as to provide a movable space for the positioning column 63 when the fixing member rotates. Since the positioning member 62 is turned upside down, the positioning column 63 can move up and down in the socket 31 with a larger longitudinal length when it rotates downward, making it easier for the positioning column 63 to enter the socket 31. Moreover, the fit between the socket 31 and the positioning column 63 is mainly for lateral limiting, and the larger longitudinal length will not affect the lateral limiting function.

[0032] In order to make the disassembly and assembly of the positioning member 62 more convenient, it can be set up according to needs. Connecting columns 65 are set on both sides of the fixing rod 61, and two connecting plates 66 are set on the fixing member, and the space between the two connecting plates 66 is adapted to the width of the fixing rod 61. The two connecting plates 66 are respectively located on both sides of the fixing rod 61, and connecting grooves 67 are set at the positions corresponding to the connecting columns 65. The connecting column 65 is located in the connecting groove 67 so that the fixing member can form a rotational fit with the fixing rod 61 through the connecting plate 66; the connecting groove 67 is hook-shaped and the opening is set downward for the connecting column 65 to enter and exit.

[0033] In this solution, as shown in the reference figure, the hook-shaped connecting groove 67 cooperates with the connecting column 65, and will not be separated from the connecting column 65 when the fixing member is turned downward. When it needs to be removed, it only needs to be removed from the fixing rod 61 along the track of the connecting groove 67, and the disassembly and assembly efficiency is very high. Although the connecting groove 67 is a structure with an opening, the connecting column 65 will maintain contact with the uppermost part of the connecting groove 67 under the action of gravity, and will also maintain contact during the process of the elastic member 64 contacting and rotating with the opening and closing door 3. After the positioning column 63 enters the insertion hole 31, the positioning column 63 will abut against the upper side of the insertion hole 31. At this time, the fixing member is also in a relatively stable state, and the connecting piece 66 will not be separated from the connecting column 65, and can still be connected. After the opening and closing door 3 is opened, the positioning member 62 rotates downward, and due to the existence of the hook-shaped connecting groove 67, it will not be separated. Therefore, the structure is simple, easy to disassemble and assemble, and stable during operation.

[0034] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
