[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0026] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a payment terminal comprises a protective shell 1 and a POS machine 2, wherein the protective shell 1 is sleeved on the outside of the POS machine 2, and a display screen 3 is arranged on the side of the POS machine 2 away from the protective shell 1. The payment terminal also comprises a screen protection structure and a positioning component, wherein the screen protection structure is arranged in cooperation with the display screen 3, and the screen protection structure comprises a slide groove 4, a protective plate 5, and a limiting rod 7. Two slide grooves 4 are provided, and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the protective shell 1, respectively. Both ends of the protective plate 5 are slidably connected with the two slide grooves 4, and the slide groove 4 limits the sliding of the protective plate 5. Both ends of the two slide grooves 4 are provided with fixed blocks, and two limiting rods 7 are provided, and each limiting rod 7 is respectively connected with the corresponding fixed blocks, and sliders 6 are symmetrically arranged on both ends of the protective plate 5, respectively. The two limiting rods 7 respectively penetrate the corresponding sliders 6, and the slider 6 can slide along the limiting rod 7, and a spring 8 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting rod 7, and the spring 8 is fixed between the slider 6 and the fixed block, and the spring 8 is used for automatic resetting of the protective plate 5, and a card slot 9 is provided at the end of the slider 6 away from the screen;
[0027] There are two groups of positioning components, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the protective shell 1 , and the positioning components are matched and connected with the card slots 9 .
[0028] In some specific implementation schemes, both groups of positioning components include an insertion rod 10, a button 12, and a spring 13. The insertion rod 10 passes through the outer wall of the protective shell 1, and the insertion rod 10 is slidably connected to the protective shell 1. A card block 11 is provided at one end of the insertion rod 10 close to the display screen 3, and the other end is connected to the button 12. When the POS machine 2 is in use, the protective plate 5 can be fixed by matching the card block 11 with the card slot 9. The spring 13 is connected between the button 12 and the protective shell 1. The spring 13 is provided to enable the insertion rod 10 to automatically reset.
[0029] In some specific implementation schemes, in order to facilitate the engagement of the card block 11 with the card slot 9, the card slot 9 is a V-shaped groove, and the card block 11 is a triangular block that matches the card slot 9.
[0030] In some specific implementation schemes, in order to facilitate the rapid alignment of the block 11 with the slot 9, limit blocks 14 for limiting the slider 6 are symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the protective shell 1. When the protective plate 5 is pushed and pulled upward until the limit block 14 is in contact with the slider 6, the block 11 corresponds to the position of the slot 9.
[0031] In some specific implementation schemes, in order to facilitate the upward movement of the protective plate 5 , a push-pull block 15 is fixed to the side of the protective plate 5 away from the display screen 3 .
[0032] When the POS machine 2 needs to be used, the push-pull block 15 is pushed upward, so that the push-pull block 15 drives the protective plate 5 to move upward, thereby revealing the display screen 3. At the same time, the slider 6 also moves upward along the limit rod 7, and the spring 1 8 is compressed. When the slider 6 moves to the upper end close to the limit block 14, the card block 11 corresponds to the position of the card slot 9. Then, the two fingers of the hand holding the POS machine 2 push the buttons 12 on both sides respectively, and the two insertion rods 10 move toward the middle, so that the card block 11 is engaged with the card slot 9. The spring 13 is compressed, and the protective plate 5 is fixed. Then, the POS machine 2 can be operated. When the POS machine 2 accidentally falls from the hand, as the finger leaves the button 12, the insertion rods 10 on both sides slide back and reset under the action of the corresponding spring 2 13's rebound force, so that the card block 11 is disengaged from the card slot 9. Due to the rebound force of the spring 1 8, the slider 6 drives the protective plate 5 to move downward, so that the protective plate 5 blocks the display screen 3, thereby protecting the display screen 3 and preventing the POS machine 2 from falling to the ground near the side of the display screen 3 during use, which may cause protrusions on the ground to damage the display screen 3. When not in use, the protective plate 5 is automatically closed to prevent the display screen 3 from being damaged by the falling during the placement process.
[0033] In some specific implementation schemes, in order to facilitate the protection of the internal parts of the POS machine 2, a plurality of elastic protrusions 16 are equidistantly arranged on the edge of the protective shell 1 close to the display screen 3. When the display screen 3 falls downward, the side of the POS machine 2 close to the display screen 3 can be prevented from contacting the ground. The elastic protrusions 16 are deformed to provide buffering protection for the POS machine 2, preventing rigid collision from causing damage to the internal parts of the POS machine 2, and further improving the front protection effect of the POS machine 2.
[0034] In order to facilitate the understanding of the embodiments of this solution by those skilled in the art, the working principle of this solution is briefly described in combination with specific application scenarios:
[0035] When the POS machine 2 needs to be used, the push-pull block 15 is pushed upward, so that the push-pull block 15 drives the protective plate 5 to move upward, thereby revealing the display screen 3. At the same time, the slider 6 also moves upward along the limit rod 7, and the spring 1 8 is compressed. When the slider 6 moves to the upper end close to the limit block 14, the card block 11 corresponds to the position of the card slot 9. Then, the two fingers of the hand holding the POS machine 2 push the buttons 12 on both sides respectively, and the two insertion rods 10 move toward the middle, so that the card block 11 is engaged with the card slot 9. The spring 13 is compressed, and the protective plate 5 is fixed. Then, the POS machine 2 can be operated. When the POS machine 2 accidentally falls from the hand, as the finger leaves the button 12, the insertion rods 10 on both sides slide back and reset under the action of the corresponding spring 2 13's rebound force, so that the card block 11 is disengaged from the card slot 9. Due to the rebound force of the spring 1 8, the slider 6 drives the protective plate 5 to move downward, so that the protective plate 5 blocks the display screen 3, thereby protecting the display screen 3 and preventing the POS machine 2 from falling to the ground near the side of the display screen 3 during use, which may cause protrusions on the ground to damage the display screen 3. When not in use, the protective plate 5 is automatically closed to prevent the display screen 3 from being damaged by the falling during the placement process.
[0036] A plurality of elastic protrusions 16 are equidistantly arranged on the side of the protective shell 1 close to the display screen 3. When the display screen 3 falls downward, the side of the POS machine 2 close to the display screen 3 can be prevented from contacting the ground. The elastic protrusions 16 are deformed to provide buffering protection for the POS machine 2, preventing rigid collision from causing damage to the internal parts of the POS machine 2, and further improving the front protection effect of the POS machine 2.
[0037] Several embodiments of the utility model are described in detail above, but the embodiments of the utility model are not limited thereto and cannot be considered to limit the scope of implementation of the utility model. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of application of the utility model should still fall within the scope of the patent coverage of the utility model.
