DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a self-service machine of the utility model comprises a body A and a panel assembly B, and one side of the panel assembly B is hingedly matched with the body A.

[0027] The panel assembly B has a baffle 1 that rotates with the panel assembly B; the body A is provided with a slide 2 that slides back and forth toward the baffle 1 to move closer to the baffle 1 and limit the rotation of the baffle 1, or move away from the baffle 1 to release the rotation limit of the baffle 1.

[0028] By setting the baffle 1, when the panel assembly B is rotated and opened relative to the body A, the baffle 1 rotates with the panel assembly B, and then the slide 2 can be slid close to the baffle 1 to limit the baffle 1, so that the baffle 1 cannot rotate, thereby realizing the rotation limit of the panel assembly B, and preventing the panel assembly B from rotating and resetting under the action of gravity and accidentally hitting or pinching the maintenance personnel. After the maintenance is completed, it is only necessary to retract the slide 2 to release the limit on the baffle 1, and then the panel assembly B can be rotated again to reset. The slide 2 and the baffle 1 have a simple structure and are easy to operate.

[0029] Specifically, Figure 2As shown, the body A is provided with an opening 3 , which is connected to the internal space of the body A. Maintenance personnel can perform maintenance and inspection on the internal structure of the body A through the opening 3 .

[0030] A hinge shaft 4 is disposed at one end of one side of the opening 3; Figure 3 In this embodiment, a large stud 41 is set at the left end of the bottom side 31 of the opening 3 as the hinge axis 4, and the large stud 41 passes through the bottom side 31 from bottom to top; at the same time, a small stud 42 is also set at the left end of the top side 32 relative to the bottom side 31 as another hinge axis 4, and the upper and lower hinge axes 4 are coaxially arranged.

[0031] The left side of the panel assembly B is configured as a hinged edge 5, and hinged ears 51 are respectively protruded from the upper and lower ends of the hinged edge 5, and a hinge hole 511 is provided on the hinged ear 51. Two hinge shafts 4 respectively pass through the hinge holes 511 of the two hinged ears 51, so as to realize the hinge connection between the panel assembly B and the hinge shaft 4, and realize the movable opening and closing of the opening 3.

[0032] The large stud 41 of the lower hinge shaft 4 is also provided with a large nut 411, a butterfly spring 412 and a gasket 413 to axially limit and fix the lower hinge ear 51, and the small stud 42 of the upper hinge shaft 4 is composed of an inner screw 421 and an outer screw 422 with a hole. The outer screw 422 passes through the top side 32 from bottom to top, and the inner screw 421 limits and fixes the upper hinge ear 51 axially.

[0033] In this embodiment, the number of each of the blocking piece 1 and the sliding piece 2 is at least one, so as to achieve the corresponding limiting effect.

[0034] For details, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The baffle 1 can be arranged on the hinge ear 51 at the lower end of the hinge edge 5, and the slide 2 is correspondingly arranged on the side adjacent to the baffle 1, that is, the slide 2 is arranged on the bottom side 31 of the opening 3. Thus, the baffle 1 can rotate around the hinge shaft 4, and the slide 2 can slide back and forth toward the baffle 1.

[0035] Of course, the baffle 1 can also be set at the upper end of the hinged edge 5, and the slide 2 can be set at the top side 32 of the opening 3, or the baffle 1 and the slide 2 can be two each, both of which can achieve rotation limitation of the panel assembly B to ensure the safety of maintenance personnel.

[0036] In this embodiment, the panel assembly B is set as a side flip cover structure, which can facilitate the opening 3 of the panel assembly B to provide sufficient space for repairing the body A. Of course, it can also be set as an upper flip cover structure, and the positions of the hinge edge 5 and the hinge axis 4 can be adjusted accordingly.

[0037] In this embodiment, two hinge shafts 4 and two hinge ears 51 are arranged to cooperate with each other. Of course, the two hinge shafts 4 can be replaced by a whole hinge shaft connected up and down (not shown), and the hinge cooperation can also be achieved.

[0038] The hinged structure of this embodiment is a hidden structure, which is convenient for installation and operation. Of course, other existing hinged matching methods, such as hinges, etc., can also be adopted. It is only necessary to adjust the position of the baffle 1 accordingly. For example, when hinges are used, the baffle 1 can be directly connected to the inner side of the hinged edge 5 of the panel assembly B (not shown in the figure), and the baffle 1 can also rotate with the rotation of the panel assembly B.

[0039] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the baffle 1 is formed by bending the outer end of the hinge ear 51 away from the panel assembly B; when the panel assembly B opens the opening 3, the baffle 1 rotates to the bottom side 31, and can be stopped by the reciprocating slide 2, and the slide 2 can directly slide into the circumferential rotation path of the baffle 1 for limiting. Figure 5 As shown, correspondingly, when the panel assembly B closes the opening 3 , the blocking piece 1 rotates and is located outside the bottom side edge 31 .

[0040] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the slide plate 2 is provided with a slide groove 21; two guide rods 6 are protruded from the bottom side 31 and arranged at intervals, and the two guide rods 6 protrude through the slide groove 21, and the protruding outer ends of the guide rods 6 are provided with an adjusting nut 61, and the adjusting nut 61 is adjustably pressed against the slide plate 2 along the guide rod 6; the slide plate 2 slides back and forth along the connecting line direction of the two guide rods 6 by means of the slide groove 21. The guide rod 6 can be a screw rod, which is passed through the bottom side 31 from bottom to top, and the adjusting nut 61 is provided to exert a certain pressing force, so that the slide plate 2 is tightly matched with the bottom side 31, so as to prevent the slide plate 2 from being too loose, which may cause the slide plate 2 to accidentally release the limit of the baffle 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, a stopper 22 is provided at one end of the slide 2 close to the baffle 1, and the stopper 22 is used to extend into the circumferential rotation path of the baffle 1, while a toggle portion 23 is provided at the other end of the slide 2 to facilitate manual toggle of the slide 2.

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the panel assembly B includes a display module 7 and a fixing plate 8, and the fixing plate 8 is detachably connected and fixed to the display module 7; the hinged edge 5 is arranged on the fixing plate 8, and the setting of the fixing plate 8 can facilitate the production and installation of the product.

[0043] In this embodiment, the fixing plate 8 is rectangular, and the four sides of the rectangle are respectively bent to form reinforcing edges 81 with inverted structures to improve the structural strength of the fixing plate 8 .

[0044] The fixing plate 8 has a mounting surface 82 that fits the back of the display module 7 . The mounting surface 82 is provided with at least two quick-connect holes 83 that are narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The quick-connect holes 83 of this embodiment are exemplified by gourd holes.

[0045] The display module 7 has two quick-connect buckles 71 protruding from the back thereof. The quick-connect buckles 71 of this embodiment are directly locked to the back of the display module 7 . The quick-connect buckles 71 are used to be quickly buckled into the quick-connect holes 83 .

[0046] Therefore, when the self-service machine is produced, assembled, or repaired and replaced later, the fixing plate 8 can be hinged to the opening 3 of the main body A first, and then the display module 7 can be quickly buckled into the quick-connect hole 83 of the fixing plate 8 by means of the quick-connect buckle 71 to achieve pre-fixation of the two. After that, the connecting screws 72 can be conveniently locked to make the two stably connected as one, which can improve the product installation efficiency.

[0047] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a locking ear 84 is provided on the other side of the fixing plate 8 opposite to the hinge edge 5. When the panel assembly B closes the opening 3, the locking ear 84 is close to the side wall of the opening 3 away from the hinge shaft 4. A lock 9 is provided inside the side wall for locking the locking ear 84. Therefore, the locking ear 84 can be unlocked or locked by controlling the lock 9 with a key.

[0048] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the idea of ​​the utility model belong to the protection scope of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, equivalent changes and modifications without departing from the principle of the utility model should still fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
