Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1-3As shown, a new type of hotel self-service check-in machine described in the utility model comprises a check-in machine body 1, a main box 2 is integrally arranged on the lower surface of the check-in machine body 1, and a touch screen 5 is embedded and installed on the inclined surface of the top of the main box 2, and an ID card reader 8, a bank card entrance and a key panel 9 are sequentially installed on one side of the touch screen 5; a display screen 6 is embedded and installed on the upper surface of the check-in machine body 1, and a base 4 is fixed to the bottom of the check-in machine body 1, a foot pedal 12 and a pressure sensor 13 are arranged in the middle of the upper surface of the base 4, and the pressure sensor 13 is located directly below the foot pedal 12; a slide groove 7 is provided above the touch screen 5, and a placement groove 10 is provided below the touch screen 5, and dust covers 15 are provided on both sides of the touch screen 5, and a T-shaped slider 18 is fixed on the side of the dust cover 15 facing the main box 2, and the T-shaped slider 18 is slidably connected to the slide groove 7; an electric push rod 11 is fastened and installed in the placement groove 10, and one end of the electric push rod 11 is fixed with a mounting seat 17 by screws, and one end of the mounting seat 17 is glued and connected to the dust cover 15. The user steps on the foot pedal 12, causing the foot pedal 12 to be compressed and the spring 14 set between the base 4 to shrink, and then the foot pedal 12 and the pressure sensor 13 on the base 4 are against each other, so that the pressure sensor 13 feeds back the detected signal to the PLC controller 3, and the PLC controller 3 starts the two electric push rods 11 in the placement slot 10 to extend, causing the two electric push rods 11 to push the two dust covers 15 to move apart. In this process, the T-shaped slider 18 of the dust cover 15 slides along the slide groove 7 opened on the surface of the main box 2, so that the touch screen 5, ID card reader 8 and key panel 9 set on the main box 2 are exposed, so as to operate the hotel check-in process. Compared with the existing self-service check-in machine, it can realize the protection and dustproof of the touch screen 5, ID card reader 8 and key panel 9, and avoid the touch screen 5, ID card reader 8 and key panel 9 from dust accumulation and impact damage. When the user goes through the check-in process, the user goes through the touch screen 5, ID card reader 8, button panel 9 and bank card insertion port set on the main box 2, and then the receipt printer embedded in the lower part of the main box 2 prints the consumption receipt, and the room card is taken out from the room card exit set at the lower part of the main box 2.

[0023] Limiting columns 19 are welded to the four corners of the bottom surface of the foot pedal 12, and the limiting columns 19 are socketed with the spring 14. The lower end of the spring 14 is fixedly set on the base 4. By arranging multiple springs 14 between the base 4 and the foot pedal 12, and welding the limiting columns 19 at the connection between the foot pedal 12 and the spring 14, when the foot pedal 12 is pressurized, the foot pedal 12 can contact with the base 4 through the limiting columns 19 when the spring 14 is in a contracted state, thereby avoiding the situation where the spring 14 is over-pressurized and the pressure sensor 13 is damaged.

[0024] A side panel 16 is integrally injection-molded at the edge of the dust cover 15 facing the main chassis 2, and the side panel 16 is in contact with the side of the main chassis 2. The side panel 16 can protect the side of the main chassis 2, increase the coverage of the dust cover 15, and provide good protection. The initial state of the side panel 16 is that the dust cover 15 blocks the touch screen 5.

[0025] A mounting partition is welded in the middle of the placement groove 10, and electric push rods 11 are fixed on both sides of the mounting partition. The mounting partition can serve as a mounting support for the two electric push rods 11, which is conducive to the movement of the two dust covers 15 towards or away from each other.

[0026] A binocular camera is embedded between the main chassis 2 and the display screen 6 to facilitate face recognition so as to verify user identity information.

[0027] A PLC controller 3 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the occupancy machine body 1, and the output end of the PLC controller 3 is electrically connected to the electric push rod 11, and the pressure sensor 13 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 3. The control circuit of the PLC controller 3 can be realized through simple programming by technicians in this field. It belongs to the common knowledge in this field. It is only used without modification, so the control method and circuit connection are not described in detail. Among them, the PLC controller 3 is connected to the external power supply through a wire to facilitate power supply.

[0028] A receipt printer is embedded in the lower surface of the main box 2, and a room card outlet is opened on the receipt outlet side of the receipt printer. The receipt outlet and the room card outlet are used to facilitate the export of consumption receipts and room cards, which is specifically the existing structure of the self-service check-in integrated machine on the market.

[0029] Working principle: When in use, the user steps on the foot pedal 12, causing the foot pedal 12 to be compressed and the spring 14 set between the base 4 to shrink, and then the foot pedal 12 and the pressure sensor 13 on the base 4 are against each other, so that the pressure sensor 13 feeds back the detected signal to the PLC controller 3, and the PLC controller 3 starts the two electric push rods 11 in the placement slot 10 to extend, causing the two electric push rods 11 to push the two dust covers 15 to move apart. In this process, the T-shaped slider 18 of the dust cover 15 slides along the slide groove 7 opened on the surface of the main box 2, so that the touch screen 5, ID card reader 8 and key panel 9 set on the main box 2 are exposed, so as to operate the hotel check-in process. Compared with the existing self-service check-in machine, it can realize the protection and dustproof of the touch screen 5, ID card reader 8 and key panel 9, and avoid the touch screen 5, ID card reader 8 and key panel 9 from dust accumulation and impact damage. At the same time, by setting a plurality of springs 14 between the base 4 and the foot pedal 12, and welding a limit column 19 at the connection between the foot pedal 12 and the spring 14, when the foot pedal 12 is pressed, the foot pedal 12 can contact the base 4 through the limit column 19 in the contracted state of the spring 14, thereby avoiding the situation where the spring 14 is over-pressed and the pressure sensor 13 is damaged. When the user performs the check-in process, the user goes through the touch screen 5, ID card reader 8, key panel 9 and bank card insertion port set on the main box 2 to complete the check-in process, and then the receipt printer embedded in the lower part of the main box 2 prints the consumption receipt, and the room card outlet set at the lower part of the main box 2 is used to take the room card.
