[0026] Among them, a lighting device 3 is installed inside the body 1, a printing mechanism 4 is arranged on the surface of the body 1, a display screen 5 is installed below the printing mechanism 4, a button panel 6 is arranged below the display screen 5, and a card swiping mechanism 7 is arranged on the right side of the button panel 6. The lighting device 3 includes an installation cavity 301, the installation cavity 301 is opened inside the body 1, a mounting plate 302 is arranged inside the installation cavity 301, a slider 303 is arranged at the connection between the mounting plate 302 and the installation cavity 301, the slider 303 is fixedly installed on both sides of the mounting plate 302, a slide rail 304 is installed at the connection between the slider 303 and the installation cavity 301, the slide rail 304 is fixedly installed inside the installation cavity 301, an illumination lamp 305 is fixedly installed above the mounting plate 302, and a camera 306 is arranged on the right side of the illumination lamp 305.

[0027] At the same time, a screw rod 8 is provided in the middle of one group of sliders 303, and a thread matching the screw rod 8 is provided at the connection between the slider 303 and the screw rod 8, a second bevel gear 9 is fixedly installed on the other end of the screw rod 8, a first bevel gear 10 is provided on the left side of the second bevel gear 9, a transmission rod 11 is provided on the left side of the first bevel gear 10, a knob 12 is fixedly connected to the left side of the transmission rod 11, and a fixing rod 13 is passed through the middle of the other group of sliders 303, and the first bevel gear 10 and the second bevel gear 9 are meshingly connected.

[0028] When in use, the knob 12 of the lighting device 3 drives the transmission rod 11 to rotate, the transmission rod 11 drives the first bevel gear 10 to rotate, the first bevel gear 10 drives the second bevel gear 9 to rotate, the second bevel gear 9 drives the screw rod 8 to rotate, and the screw rod 8 enables the slider 303 to move up and down on the slide rail 304 through the outer thread, and drives the mounting plate 302 and the camera 305 and the lighting lamp 306 above the mounting plate 302 to achieve the effect of retracting and extending inside the body 1 through the up and down movement, which is convenient for use in different situations.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 A winding structure 14 is provided below the lighting device 3, and the winding structure 14 includes a winding chamber 1401. The winding chamber 1401 is opened inside the body 1, and a winding rod 1402 is provided inside the winding chamber 1401.
