Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an intelligent ceiling light device for retail self-service equipment. The device can be applied to the location identification, help alarm sound and light reminder, and operation status light reminder of various retail self-service equipment. The equipment location identification number is displayed through a 7-segment LED, and can be independently set to any value between 00-99 through a serial port command. The device has a three-color light, and the color and on / off of the light can be controlled through a serial port command to indicate the operation status of the self-service equipment, customer help and other prompts. The device has a buzzer, and the sound of the buzzer can be controlled through a serial port command. The device can cooperate with self-service equipment to effectively improve service efficiency and reduce operating costs. Background Art

[0002] Self-service equipment is a new type of high-tech equipment that closely links information technology with various production and service scenarios, such as automatic ticket machines, information release terminals, self-service government affairs terminals, etc., and has been widely used in various industries. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present invention is an intelligent ceiling light device for retail self-service equipment. The device can be conveniently installed on the top of retail self-service equipment of various shapes and sizes, etc., to realize the number indication of the retail self-service equipment, the help alarm light indication, the voice prompt, and the operation status light indication. The device can realize 4-way 0-12V digital signal input, 2-way 7-segment LED control, 1-way three-color light control interface, 1-way buzzer control, 1-way serial RS232 interface, and 1-way 12VDC power supply interface. Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the module composition of the present invention The meaning of the digital symbols in the attached figure: 1. Light-guiding acrylic shell 2. 7-segment display 3. Three-color LED 4. Single-chip microcomputer control board 5. Serial port terminal 6. 12VDC power supply terminal 7. Digital signal input terminal 8. Buzzer.

[0004] The housing of the device of the present invention is made of a light-conducting transparent material, and has four positioning nuts at the bottom, which can be easily installed on the top of various retail self-service equipment. The device needs to be powered by an external 12VDC, with a current of not less than 0.5A, and the power supply line is connected to the 12V power terminal of the device; the device can communicate with a control terminal such as a host computer through serial communication, and use a 3-wire serial cross line to connect the serial port terminal of the device with the serial port of the external control host; the device can be externally connected to digital switch inputs such as touch switches and buttons, and connected to the digital signal input terminal of the device. After the hardware connection is installed correctly, the external control host can control the following functions of the device through serial command mode: read the state of the external digital signal, and perform corresponding actions according to the on and off of the external switch and button; set the display content of the 7-segment display, and can set the display of any number between 00-99; can control the lighting and extinguishing of the three-color light; can control the sound of the buzzer.
