[0019] Specifically, a metal password keyboard 2, an ID card sensing area 3, a touch display screen 4 and a content display screen 5 are provided on the ticket machine body 1.

[0020] Specifically, the pedal assembly includes a base plate 6, the back side of which is fixedly connected to the ticket machine body 1, and the base plate 6 is recessed inward to form a cavity 7. Springs 8 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the cavity 7. The tops of four groups of springs 8 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the pedal 9. The bottom of the pedal 9 is fixedly connected to the slider on the sliding rheostat 16 through an insulating rod. When the pedal 9 is squeezed by an external force, the slider is controlled to move up and down to adjust the resistance value of the sliding rheostat 16, so as to control the operation of the suction pump 10 and the servo motor 25. The sliding rheostat 16 is electrically connected to the suction pump 10 and the servo motor 25 through cables, and the lower side wall of the pedal 9 is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the base plate 6; when an outside ticket buyer drags a suitcase to the right side of the base plate 6, and then steps on the pedal 9 on the base plate 6, the pedal 9 is subjected to gravity and moves downward to compress the spring 8.

[0021] Specifically, a suction pump 10 is bolted to the bottom of the cavity 7, and the suction pump 10 is used to extract dust on the roller surface in the area below the luggage compartment into the filter box 11. The air inlet end of the suction pump 10 is connected to the filter box 11, and the filter box 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cavity 7. The side wall of the filter box 11 is embedded with a manifold 111 that is fixedly connected.

[0022] Specifically, a bidirectional screw 12 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the cavity 7, a guide gear 13 is fixedly connected to the center of the bidirectional screw 12, the guide gear 13 is meshed with a rack 14, the top of the rack 14 is fixedly connected to the pedal 9, and a moving rod 15 is threadedly connected to the side of the bidirectional screw 12. The distance between the moving rod 15 and the ground is lower than the height of the roller at the bottom of the suitcase, which facilitates the insertion of the moving rod 15 into the bottom of the suitcase. The other end of the moving rod 15 slides through the side wall of the cavity 7 and extends outward. The bottom of the cavity 7 is bolted with a matching rack 17; a limiting groove 18 is embedded in the inner side wall of the moving rod 15, and a pushing groove 18 is embedded in the bottom side wall of the bottom plate 6 Slot 19, a screw rod 20 is rotatably connected in the limiting groove 18, the screw rod 20 is fixedly connected to the center of the meshing gear 21, the meshing gear 21 is meshed with the matching rack 17, the side of the screw rod 20 is connected to the internal thread of the sliding rod 22 and drives the sliding rod 22 to slide in the limiting groove 18, a plug-in groove 221 is embedded through the sliding rod 22, a push plate 23 is slidably connected in the plug-in groove 221, an insertion rod 24 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the push plate 23, the other end of the insertion rod 24 away from the push plate 23 is slidably inserted into the push groove 19, the push groove 19 is low near the guide gear 13, and the other side of the push groove 19 is higher.

[0023] During operation, when the pedal 9 moves downward, the pedal 9 drives the rack 14 to move downward, the meshing of the rack 14 drives the bidirectional screw 12 to rotate, and the bidirectional screw 12 drives the moving rods 15 at the front and rear ends to move forward and backward. During the movement of the moving rod 15, the meshing gear 21 is driven to mesh with the matching rack 17, and the meshing gear 21 rotates to drive the sliding rod 22 to move outward, so that the two sets of sliding rods 22 are inserted into the two ends of the bottom of the luggage case and are pressed and contacted with the side of the roller at the bottom of the luggage case, and the automatic fixation of the luggage case can be completed; during the movement, the moving rod 15 cooperates with the sliding rod 22 to move outward, driving the insertion rod 24 to move in the pushing groove 19, and the change in the height in the pushing groove 19 causes the sliding rod 22 to be squeezed and moved upward, and the sliding rod 22 drives the pushing plate 23 to move upward, and the two sets of pushing plates 23 can drive the luggage case to move upward, so that the bottom of the roller at the bottom of the luggage case has a certain distance from the ground end.

[0024] Specifically, the telescopic design at both ends of the moving rod 15 and the matching sliding rod 22 can increase the overall length of the moving rod 15 when in use, so that when the suitcase is placed in the area directly to the right of the moving rod 15, the moving rod 15 can drive the matching sliding rod 22 to automatically insert into the bottom of the suitcase and squeeze and fix it.

[0025] Specifically, a servo motor 25 is bolted to the bottom of the sliding rod 22, and the output shaft of the servo motor 25 drives the upper gear 26 to rotate and connect with the vertical plate at the bottom of the sliding rod 22, and the upper gear 26 is meshed to drive the lower gear 27 to rotate and connect with the vertical plate, and the lower gear 27 drives the suction stick 28 to rotate and connect with the vertical plate in another direction. The surface of the suction stick 28 is connected with multiple groups of bristles, and the surface of the suction stick 28 is provided with multiple suction holes. The other end of the conduit 111 slides through the center of the gear 27 and the vertical plate through a telescopic tube and is rotationally connected to the side of the suction stick 28, and the telescopic tube is connected to the space inside the suction stick 28; at the same time, the servo motor 2 5 and the suction pump 10 are started, the two servo motors 25 drive the lower gear 27 to rotate through the upper gear 26, and the lower gear 27 drives the suction rod 28 to rotate, so that the suction rod 28 drives the brush bristles to rotate to brush the rollers at the bottom of the suitcase. Since the push plate 23 holds the suitcase in the air, the rollers will be driven to rotate, so that the brush bristles can clean the rollers more comprehensively. The suction pump 10 sucks the dust into the telescopic tube through the suction holes on the surface of the suction rod 28 and then flows into the filter box 11, so that the rollers at the bottom of the suitcase can be cleaned at the ticket office of the station, so as to prevent the dust adhering to the rollers at the bottom of the suitcase from polluting the station.
