Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of self-service retail terminals, in particular to an outdoor self-service retail terminal with a protective structure. Background Art

[0002] With the development of economy and the advancement of technology, more and more vending machines have appeared in schools, factories, subways, hospitals and other places. Artificial intelligence self-service is the development trend of various industries, and the retail industry is no exception. Self-service retail terminals are of many types and full of functions. They have the advantages of saving personnel expenses, reducing operating costs, working 24 hours a day, and operating without errors.

[0003] Existing smart retail terminals generally have a face-scanning camera structure to facilitate payment. However, since each person has a different height and the height of the camera structure is not easy to adjust after installation, it is difficult to recognize the faces of customers with shorter or taller heights. At the same time, since it is installed outdoors, it is easy to topple over due to human touch, or when illegal personnel arbitrarily pry open the cabinet to steal, it is impossible to alarm and remotely notify the staff, which brings certain safety hazards. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an outdoor self-service retail terminal with a protective structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0026] 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 in 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.

[0027] In the embodiment, Figure 1-5 Provided is a self-service retail terminal with a protective structure for outdoor use. The utility model comprises a self-service retail terminal body 1. A protective component is arranged on the side wall of the self-service retail terminal body 1. The protective component comprises a damping spring shock absorber 2 fixedly connected to the side wall of the self-service retail terminal body 1. One end of the damping spring shock absorber 2 away from the self-service retail terminal body 1 is fixedly connected to a protective shell 3. There are two protective shells 3, which are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the self-service retail terminal body 1.

[0028] In this embodiment, in actual use, when the protective shell 3 receives a collision, the damping spring shock absorber 2 is used to buffer the impact force, thereby reducing the impact force received by the self-service retail terminal body 1 and improving the protection.

[0029] Specifically, refer to Figure 3A detection rod 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the protective shell 3 close to the self-service retail terminal body 1, a detection seat 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the self-service retail terminal body 1 close to the detection rod 4, a first contact 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the detection rod 4 inserted into the detection seat 5, a second contact 7 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the detection seat 5, a rain shield 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the self-service retail terminal body 1, an audible and visual alarm 14 is installed at the bottom of the rain shield 13, and a surveillance camera 15 is installed at the bottom of the rain shield 13.

[0030] In this embodiment, in actual use, the rainproof awning 13 is used to block rain and sun, thereby extending the service life of the self-service retail terminal body 1. When the protective shell 3 is subjected to a large impact force, the detection rod 4 approaches the detection seat 5 so that the first contact 6 contacts the second contact 7, thereby activating the sound and light alarm 14 to attract attention. At the same time, the monitoring camera 15 is used to monitor the self-service retail terminal body 1, which is convenient for the staff to remotely check the situation and improves safety.

[0031] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 A facial recognition camera 11 is installed inside the self-service retail terminal body 1. A lifting component for lifting and moving the self-service retail terminal body 1 is arranged inside the self-service retail terminal body 1. The lifting component includes a servo motor 8 fixedly installed inside the self-service retail terminal body 1. A threaded rod 9 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 8. A lifting block 10 connected by threaded transmission is arranged outside the threaded rod 9. The facial recognition camera 11 is fixedly installed on the front side of the lifting block 10.

[0032] In this embodiment, in actual use, the outside of the lifting block 10 is fixedly connected with a slider 12, and a slide groove is opened inside the self-service retail terminal body 1. The slider 12 is slidably connected to the inside of the slide groove. The lifting block 10 is limited by the slider 12, and the threaded rod 9 is rotated by starting the servo motor 8, so that the lifting block 10 drives the facial recognition camera 11 to move up and down, thereby improving the recognition range of the facial recognition camera 11.

[0033] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 A touch screen display 16 is fixedly connected to the front of the self-service retail terminal body 1, a cash inlet 17 is opened on the front of the self-service retail terminal body 1, a pickup door 18 is rotatably connected to the front of the self-service retail terminal body 1, and a base 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the self-service retail terminal body 1. The base 19 is used to separate the self-service retail terminal body 1 from the ground to prevent the self-service retail terminal body 1 from being corroded by moisture on the ground.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] The customer operates the touch screen display 16 to select goods for purchase, and then uses the touch screen display 16 to start the servo motor 8 to rotate the threaded rod 9, so that the lifting block 10 drives the facial recognition camera 11 to move up and down, so that the facial recognition camera 11 is aimed at the customer's face for recognition. When the protective shell 3 is hit, the damping spring shock absorber 2 is used to buffer the impact force. At the same time, when the impact force is large, the detection rod 4 will approach the detection seat 5 so that the first contact 6 contacts the second contact 7, thereby starting the sound and light alarm 14 to attract attention. At the same time, the monitoring camera 15 is used to monitor the self-service retail terminal body 1, so that the staff can remotely view the situation.
