[0020] Beneficial effects
[0021] This invention provides a system and method for rapid order processing for self-service devices. Compared with existing technologies, it has the following advantages:
[0022] (1) The order processing system and method of the self-service equipment stores multiple order paper rolls through the paper storage hole of the paper storage roller. When the paper loading roller is empty, the second motor drives the lead screw to rotate, causing the moving plate to move the paper loading roller to the left, passing through the paper outlet groove, the paper roll core and the clearance groove in sequence, so that the end plate is located inside the clearance groove. Then, the third motor drives the end plate to rotate, so that its right side faces the paper roll tube for limit. After that, the moving plate moves the paper loading roller to the right, pulling out the paper roll in the paper storage hole to the corresponding position of the paper feeding assembly, completing the replacement operation of the order paper roll. This reduces the situation where invoices cannot be printed due to paper shortage, and enables the high usage frequency demand of the self-service equipment to be met during peak periods.
[0023] (2) The order quick order processing system and method of the self-service equipment, during the replacement of the order paper roll, the upper receiving plate and the docking plate are on the same horizontal line and docked, and the lower receiving plate and the movable plate are on the same horizontal line and docked, so that the part of the paper roll pulled out in the paper storage hole can be transferred between the docking plate and the movable plate, thereby avoiding the deformation or displacement of the part of the paper roll during the replacement process, which would cause paper jams and improve the accuracy of paper roll replacement.
[0024] (3) The order processing system and method of the self-service equipment: When the paper roll on the paper loading roller is used up, the connecting plate is moved forward by the fourth cylinder, so that the limit frame is stuck on the outside of the paper loading roller. Then, the paper loading roller is moved to the right by the moving plate. At this time, the remaining core on the paper loading roller is blocked by the limit frame and cannot move to the right. When the paper loading roller moves to the right to the appropriate position, the core on the paper loading roller will lack support and will fall from the paper loading roller into the waste guide plate and slide into the collection box, thus facilitating the centralized processing of waste core.

[0048] Please see Figure 1-12The present invention also discloses a method for using a self-service equipment order rapid processing system, specifically including the following steps:
[0049] S1. Storing spare paper rolls: First, open the box door 25 and insert the paper roll with the core into the paper storage hole 36 from the paper loading slot 32 as a spare. With the first motor 34 driving the paper storage roller 35 to rotate, all the paper storage holes 36 are filled with spare paper rolls. At the same time, when each spare paper roll is loaded, a small part of the paper roll is pulled out to extend outward with the paper feeding slot 37. Then, the paper storage roller 35 rotates any one paper roll between the lower receiving plate 42 and the upper receiving plate 43. The first cylinder 41 pushes the lower receiving plate 42 to move upward, restricting the part of the paper roll pulled out between the lower receiving plate 42 and the upper receiving plate 43.
[0050] S2. Installing the paper roll: The second motor 53 drives the lead screw 54 to rotate, causing the moving plate 55 to move the paper loading roller 61 in the paper loading assembly 6 to the left until the paper loading roller 61 passes through the paper outlet groove 38, the core of the paper roll, and the clearance groove 33 in sequence. At this time, the end plate 66 is located inside the clearance groove 33. Then, the third motor 64 drives the rotating shaft 65 to rotate, causing the end plate 66 to rotate, so that the extension of the end plate 66 faces downward, thereby allowing the right side of the end plate 66 to limit the paper roll. After that, the moving plate 55 moves the paper loading roller 61 to the right, pulling out the paper roll in the paper storage hole 36 and bringing it to the corresponding position in the paper feeding assembly 7. At the same time, the upper receiving plate 43 and the docking plate 76 are on the same horizontal line and dock together, and the lower receiving plate 42 and the movable plate 73 are on the same horizontal line and dock together, so that the part of the paper roll pulled out in the paper storage hole 36 can transition between the docking plate 76 and the movable plate 73.
[0051] S3. Order Output and Printing: The second cylinder 72 pushes the movable plate 73 upward, causing the contact roller 74 to squeeze the feeding roller 78, thereby squeezing the protruding part of the paper roll. Then, the fourth motor 77 drives the feeding roller 78 to rotate clockwise, thereby automatically pulling out the paper roll and conveying it outward in the form of a long strip through the channel between the upper ticket frame 81 and the lower ticket frame 83. It can also be printed in conjunction with the printer 82 to complete the order output operation. After an order is printed, the third cylinder 84 pushes the third cylinder 84 to move diagonally upward and contact the cutting strip 86, thereby partially cutting the order.
[0052] S4. Automatic paper roll replacement: When the paper roll on the paper loading roller 61 is used up, the fourth cylinder 91 drives the connecting plate 92 to move forward, so that the limiting frame 94 is locked on the outside of the paper loading roller 61. Then, the moving plate 55 drives the paper loading roller 61 to move to the right. At this time, the remaining core on the paper loading roller 61 is blocked by the limiting frame 94 and cannot move to the right. When the paper loading roller 61 moves to the right to the appropriate position, the core on the paper loading roller 61 will lack support and will fall off the paper loading roller 61 into the waste guide plate 24 and slide into the collection box 23. When the paper loading roller 61 is empty, repeat step S2 to complete the paper roll replacement operation.

6. A method of using a self-service equipment order rapid processing system according to any one of claims 1-5, characterized in that: Specifically, the following steps are included: S1. Storing spare paper rolls: First, install the paper rolls used for printing orders into the paper storage assembly (3) for spare use, and the number of paper rolls is several; S2. Installing the paper roll: Drive the paper loading roller (61) in the paper loading assembly (6) to move to the left by the drive assembly (5) until the paper loading roller (61) moves into the paper storage assembly (3). Then drive the rotating shaft (65) to rotate by the third motor (64), which will drive the end plate (66) to rotate, so that the extension of the end plate (66) faces down, so that the right side of the end plate (66) can limit the paper roll. After that, the paper roll in the paper storage assembly (3) is pulled out by the drive assembly (5) and comes to the corresponding position of the paper feeding assembly (7). S3, Order output and printing: The paper roll on the paper loading roller 61 is fed out in the form of a long strip by the paper feeding assembly (7), and printed by the printing assembly (8) to complete the order output operation; S4.
