[0002] POS means "point of sale" in Chinese. Its full name is point of sale information management system. It is a terminal reader equipped with barcode or OCR code technology, and has cash or barter limit teller function. Its main task is to provide data services and management functions for commodity and media transactions, and to conduct non-cash settlement. With the development of e-commerce and non-cash payment, more and more shopping processes use POS machines as a way of settlement. It has functions such as supporting consumption, pre-authorization, balance inquiry and transfer. It is safe, fast and reliable to use. With development, more and more applications are applied to mobile POS devices, which are easy to carry during use and have been widely used. The POS machines currently sold on the market are equipped with a magnetic stripe card slot on the side and a chip card slot at the bottom. Since the magnetic stripe card slot and chip card slot of most POS machines are exposed to the external environment, dust will enter the magnetic stripe card slot and chip card slot of POS machines that are used for a long time. When dust and moisture enter the magnetic stripe card swiping slot and the chip card insertion slot, it will affect the sensitivity of the magnetic stripe card swiping area and the chip card insertion area of the POS machine in reading the customer's UnionPay card information, causing inconvenience to the use of the POS machine.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The technical solution of this patent is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0023] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] A POS machine with a self-cleaning card slot, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, including:
[0026] Machine body 1, cleaning components and fixing components.
[0027] The cleaning assembly includes a cleaning block 10 and a sliding rod 11. A fixing plate 4 is installed on the side wall of the body 1. A slot 19 is provided between the fixing plate 4 and the body 1. The cleaning block 10 is slidably connected to the inside of the fixing plate 4. The sliding rod 11 is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the fixing plate 4. One end of the sliding rod 11 is connected to the cleaning block 10. A first spring 13 is installed between the cleaning block 10 and the fixing plate 4. A display screen 3 is installed on one end of the upper surface of the body 1. A button 2 is installed on the upper surface of the body 1.
[0028] The fixing assembly includes a limiting hole 14 and a pull rod 17, the pull rod 17 and the limiting hole 14 cooperate with each other, a fixing sleeve 18 is installed on the side wall of the fixing plate 4, the pull rod 17 is slidably connected to the side wall of the fixing plate 4, the limiting hole 14 is opened on the side wall of the cleaning block 10, a shoulder 16 is installed on the outer surface of the pull rod 17, the shoulder 16 is slidably connected to the inside of the fixing sleeve 18, and a second spring 15 is installed between the side wall of the shoulder 16 and the fixing plate 4.
[0029] By installing a cleaning component and a fixing component on the side wall of the body 1, the card slot 19 can be easily cleaned to prevent dust from entering. When the device is not in use, it remains in its original state to prevent dust from entering and affecting the sensitivity. When the device is in use, the slide bar 11 is pulled to drive the cleaning block 10 to move and clean the bottom of the card slot 19. When the cleaning block 10 moves, it drives the limiting hole 14 to cooperate with the pull rod 17 to fix the cleaning block 10 so that the UnionPay card can slide through the card slot 19. The pull rod 17 is pulled to make the pull rod 17 come out from the limiting hole 14. The cleaning block 10 is reset under the action of the first spring 13 to protect the card slot 19.
[0030] In order to prevent the slide bar 11 from moving excessively; Figure 3 As shown, a retaining ring 12 is installed at one end of the sliding rod 11.
[0031] By installing a retaining ring 12 at one end of the slide bar 11, the slide bar 11 can be prevented from excessive movement.
[0032] In order to facilitate card swiping; Figure 1 As shown, the entrance between the fixing plate 4 and the body 1 is an oblique opening.
[0033] By setting the entrance between the fixing plate 4 and the machine body 1 as an oblique opening, card swiping can be facilitated.
[0034] In order to facilitate the support of the body 1; Figure 2 As shown, a rotating shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the body 1, a supporting plate 6 is installed on the side wall of the rotating shaft 5, and a clamping block 7 is installed on the side wall of the supporting plate 6.
[0035] By installing a support plate 6 at the bottom of the body 1, the body 1 can be supported conveniently, and by installing a clamping block 7 on the side wall of the support plate 6, the support plate 6 can be fixed conveniently.
[0036] Working principle: When the device is not in use, it remains in its original state to prevent dust from entering and affecting its sensitivity. When the device is in use, the slide bar 11 is pulled to drive the cleaning block 10 to move and clean the bottom of the card slot 19. When the cleaning block 10 moves, it drives the limiting hole 14 to cooperate with the pull rod 17 to fix the cleaning block 10 so that the UnionPay card can slide through the card slot 19. The pull rod 17 is pulled to make the pull rod 17 come out of the limiting hole 14. Under the action of the first spring 13, the cleaning block 10 is reset to protect the card slot 19.
