[0038] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the payment device provided in the embodiment of this specification includes: a main body 10 , an identification device 20 and a support base 30 .

[0039] The main body 10 includes a supporting end 11 and a free end 12 arranged opposite to each other, the supporting end 11 is configured to be supported on a supporting surface (the supporting surface refers to a surface for placing a payment device, and the supporting surface can be arranged on any structure), and the main body 10 also includes a front face 13 and a rear face 14 arranged opposite to each other, and at least two connection areas 15 are arranged on the rear face 14, and a plurality of connection areas 15 are arranged in sequence in a first direction L1 from the supporting end 11 to the free end 12. The main body 10 is provided with electrical components for realizing the operation of the product.

[0040] The recognition device 20 is arranged on the front face 13 , and the recognition device 20 is configured to recognize payment information.

[0041] The support base 30 is connected to the main body 10 and is located at the rear 14, and the connection between the support base 30 and the rear 14 is located in a connection area 15, and the support base 30 is configured to be supported on a support surface. No electrical components for realizing product operation are arranged in the support base 30, that is, the support base 30 only provides support for the main body 10.

[0042] The support base 30 and the main body 10 are movably connected so that the connection between the support base 30 and the rear face 14 can be moved from one connection area 15 to another connection area 15 .

[0043] The payment device provided in this specification fixes the support base 30 to different connection areas 15 so that the main body 10 presents different inclination angles, so that when the payment device is suitable for support surfaces of different heights, it can ensure that the main body 10 faces the consumer at the best angle, providing consumers with a better checkout experience, thereby improving the product's scope of use and increasing the product's market competitiveness; specifically, according to the height of the support surface on which the payment device is placed, the support base 30 is fixed to a suitable connection area 15 so that the main body 10 faces the consumer at the best angle, so that it is convenient for consumers to display payment information to the identification device 20, thereby ensuring the comfort of product use, that is, the support base 30 is fixed to different connection areas 15 so that the payment device can adapt to different heights.

[0044] In addition, the payment device has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture, thereby reducing the production cost of the product.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present specification, the main body 10 is in a plate shape as a whole.

[0046] The above structure, on the one hand, makes the payment device flat, so that the payment device occupies less space and is easy to place and move, so that the payment device can be used in more scenarios, that is, it increases the scope of use of the product and improves the market competitiveness of the product; on the other hand, the plate-like structure facilitates air circulation, improves heat dissipation efficiency, and ensures stable operation of the host.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present specification, the support base 30 is in an elongated strip shape and extends along a second direction L2 that is perpendicular to the first direction L1.

[0048] The above structure, on the one hand, increases the contact area between the support base 30 and the main body 10, so that the support base 30 can provide better support and balance for the main body 10, thereby reducing the risk of tilting and shaking of the support base 30 and improving the reliability of product use; on the other hand, the support base 30 occupies a smaller space, so that the support base 30 can provide effective support for the main body 10 within a limited space, which is convenient for placement and movement, so that the payment device can be applied to more scenarios, that is, the scope of use of the product is increased.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present specification, an angle adjustment device is provided on the support seat, and the angle adjustment device is connected to the main body. The angle adjustment device can be used to fine-tune the inclination angle of the main body, and the general adjustment range is ±5°. A negative angle refers to fine-tune the inclination angle of the main body along the first adjustment direction, and a positive angle refers to fine-tune the inclination angle of the main body along the second adjustment direction. The first adjustment direction and the second adjustment direction are two opposite directions; specifically, an adjustment range of -5° refers to: fine-tune the inclination angle of the main body by 5° along the first adjustment direction, and an adjustment range of 5° refers to: fine-tune the inclination angle of the main body by 5° along the second adjustment direction.

[0050] After the inclination angle of the main body is adjusted through the support base, the inclination angle of the main body is generally fixed, and it is necessary to fine-tune the inclination angle of the main body. The angle adjustment device can further fine-tune the inclination angle of the main body to make the inclination angle of the main body more reasonable, so that the main body faces the consumer at a better angle, making it convenient for consumers to display payment information to the identification device, thereby ensuring the comfort of product use.

[0051] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present specification, the payment device further includes a display screen 50 .

[0052] The display screen 50 is disposed on the front face 13 and is located in the middle of the front face 13 . The display screen 50 is used to display information.

[0053] On the one hand, the display screen 50 can clearly display the payment amount, goods and other related information, and the information display is intuitive so as to quickly obtain the required information; on the other hand, the display screen 50 can display guidance information to guide users to perform payment operations, which is easy for consumers to view and understand and shortens the payment time; on another hand, the display screen 50 can be used to promote related products and services, display brand elements or shape the brand image and increase commercial value.

[0054] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present specification, the identification device 20 includes a payment code identification component 21 and a biometric identification component 22 , and the identification device 20 is disposed adjacent to the free end 12 .

[0055] The payment information includes a payment code and biometric features. The payment code includes graphics such as a QR code and a bar code used for payment. The biometric features include fingerprints, facial features, palm lines and other biometric features used for payment. The payment code identifier 21 is used to identify the payment code, and the biometric identifier 22 is used to identify the biometric features. The structure of the above-mentioned identification device 20 can provide two payment methods to choose from, thereby meeting the payment needs of users in different situations and increasing the convenience of payment.

[0056] The following structural drawings specifically illustrate several ways of connecting the support base and the main body.

[0057] Embodiment 1

[0058] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the support base 30 can slide relative to the main body 10 along the first direction L1, that is, the support base 30 is slidably connected to the main body 10. Those skilled in the art should understand that when the support base 30 is slidably connected to the main body 10, the support base 30 can be moved to any position, so the multiple connection areas 15 of the back 14 are continuously arranged.

[0059] Slide the support base 30 relative to the main body 10 until the support base 30 moves to a suitable connection area 15, so that the main body 10 presents a suitable inclination angle, so that when the payment device is suitable for a support surface of a suitable height, it can ensure that the main body 10 faces the consumer at the best angle, providing consumers with a better checkout experience, thereby improving the product's scope of use and increasing the product's market competitiveness; in addition, the above-mentioned adjustment method, on the one hand, has a simple structure and does not require additional connecting parts, that is, there is no complex connecting structure, so that the product structure is more compact, and the manufacturing and maintenance costs are generally low; on the other hand, the position of the support base 30 can be adjusted by sliding gently, and the operation is simple and convenient, thereby ensuring the rapid adjustment of the inclination angle of the main body 10, improving the product's comfort level, and further improving the product's market competitiveness.

[0060] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present specification, an angle indicator mark 40 is disposed on the rear face 14 , and the setting position of the angle indicator mark 40 corresponds to the position of the support seat 30 .

[0061] When the support base 30 is slid to the value displayed by the angle indicator mark 40, the angle presented by the main body 10 and the support surface is the value displayed by the angle indicator mark 40, so that the operator can quickly obtain the required angle information, reduce operation time, and ensure the accuracy of angle adjustment, thereby improving the comfort of product use.

[0062] Embodiment 2

[0063] like Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments of the present specification, the support base 30 is detachably connected to the main body 10 .

[0064] The support base 30 is removed from one connection area 15 and installed in another connection area 15, so that the main body 10 presents a suitable tilt angle, so that when the payment device is used for a support surface of a suitable height, it can be ensured that the main body 10 faces the consumer at the best angle, providing the consumer with a better checkout experience, thereby expanding the scope of use of the product and increasing the market competitiveness of the product; in addition, the above-mentioned adjustment method has a simple structure and does not require additional connecting parts, that is, there is no complex connecting structure, so that the product structure is more compact, and the manufacturing and maintenance costs are generally low.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present specification, a first clamping structure is provided in each connection area, a second clamping structure is provided on the support seat, and the support seat is clamped with the main body through the connection between the second clamping structure and the first clamping structure.

[0066] The connection method between the above-mentioned support base and the main body is a snap-on connection. On the one hand, the disassembly and assembly of the support base and the main body does not require complicated tools and operations, and the operation is simple and convenient, thereby ensuring the rapid adjustment of the inclination angle of the main body, improving the comfort of product use, and thus improving the market competitiveness of the product; on the other hand, the snap-on connection method has a simple structure and occupies a small space, which makes the product structure more compact, and the manufacturing and maintenance costs are usually lower.

[0067] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this specification, rather than to limit them; although this specification has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein by equivalents; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this specification, and they should all be included in the claims and the scope of this specification.
