Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of card reading devices, in particular to a card reader with an embedded design integrated with security inspection. Background Art
[0002] A security inspection card reader is a device that uses optical character recognition (OCR) technology to automatically read and verify the authenticity of document information. This device is widely used in public places such as airports, high-speed railways, stations, and immigration checkpoints to improve the efficiency and accuracy of security inspections. It has broad development prospects and diverse application fields. While providing convenience to society, it also contributes to the construction of smart cities. As an important security inspection device, the security inspection card reader plays a crucial role in multiple fields with its efficient information recognition and processing capabilities. With the continuous progress of technology and the continuous expansion of the market, its development prospects will be even broader.
[0003] In the prior art, for a card reader with an embedded design integrated with security inspection, its usage frequency is usually very high. Such frequent operations make the surface of the card reader more vulnerable to wear. Especially in a high-intensity working environment, surface wear not only affects the overall aesthetics of the device but also affects the normal operation of components, such as the response speed of buttons or touchscreens becoming slower. Most card readers, for the sake of safety and stability, are usually fixedly installed on walls or other stable places. This fixed installation method, while ensuring the safety and stability of use, also brings inconvenience in disassembly and maintenance. When the device needs to be repaired or parts need to be replaced, staff need professional tools and perform complex operations to remove the card reader from the installation position. This process not only takes a long time but also causes secondary damage to the device during disassembly and reinstallation. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the drawbacks existing in the prior art and propose a card reader with an embedded design integrated with security inspection.
[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a card reader with an embedded design and integrated security inspection, comprising a card reader body and a mounting frame, both sides of the card reader body are provided with fixed grooves, the inner wall of the mounting frame is provided with a slide groove, one end of the inner wall of the slide groove is slidably connected with a corner block, one end of the corner block is fixed with a connecting column, the circumference of the connecting column is provided with a reset spring, and one end of the connecting column is fixed with a limiting circle. In the prior art, the card reader with an embedded design and integrated security inspection is usually used very frequently. This frequent operation makes the surface of the card reader more susceptible to wear, especially in a high-intensity working environment. Surface wear not only affects the overall appearance of the equipment, but also affects the normal operation of the device, such as the response speed of buttons or touch screens becomes slower. For safety and stability, most card readers are usually fixedly installed on the wall or other stable places. Although this fixed installation method ensures the safety and stability of use, However, it also brings inconvenience in disassembly and maintenance. When the equipment needs to be repaired or parts need to be replaced, the staff needs professional tools and complex operations to remove the card reader from the installation position. This process is not only time-consuming, but also causes secondary damage to the equipment during disassembly and reinstallation. To solve this problem, the utility model adopts the method of installing a corner block to achieve a solution, so that when the staff installs the card reader body to the installation frame, the card reader body slides into the inner wall of the installation frame, and the card reader body contacts the rounded corner of the compressed corner block to press the corner block and compress the reset spring at the same time. When the fixed groove of the card reader body is reached, the reset spring releases the elastic potential energy, and the corner block pops up and embeds into the fixed groove to fix the component. When the staff needs to disassemble the component, they only need to pull out or pry up the limiting circle to make the corner block enter the groove again, so as to conveniently disassemble the component, which greatly improves the convenience of disassembly, facilitates the staff's inspection and maintenance, and achieves the effect of improving user experience.
[0006] Preferably, positioning grooves are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the installation frame, and positioning pieces are fixed on both sides of the card reader body, and the surfaces of the positioning pieces are slidably connected to the inner walls of the positioning grooves. In the prior art, during the process of the staff installing the card reader body on the installation frame, especially when the installation groove is designed to be larger, the card reader body is very easy to shift in the installation groove, thereby deviating from the predetermined installation position. Once the component is offset, it will not only increase the difficulty of fixation, but also make it impossible for the fixing piece to be properly aligned, resulting in unstable or failed fixation of the component. Such poor fixation will directly affect the performance of the card reader, such as causing inaccurate reading of information or loosening of the equipment, thereby affecting the stable operation of the entire security system. In response to such problems, the utility model solves the problem by installing positioning pieces, so that when the staff installs the card reader body on the installation frame, the positioning piece is slid into the positioning groove to ensure that it is parallel while sliding in a predetermined track, thereby achieving the effect of improving the stability of the equipment.
[0007] Preferably, an arc-embedded groove is formed in the inner wall of the positioning groove, and a positioning spring piece is fixed on one side of the positioning member. In the prior art, during the installation process of the security system, especially in the step of assembling the card-reading main body to the installation frame, the meticulousness and precision of the operation are crucial. However, if the sliding speed is too fast during the operation by the staff, it will inadvertently cause a collision between the card-reading main body and the installation frame. Such a collision occurs not only during the process of initially placing the card-reading main body into the slot, but also during the adjustment of alignment or final fixation. Once a collision occurs, even a slight impact will cause a small deformation or scratch on the card-reading main body, and in severe cases, even cracks or fractures may occur. Such physical damage not only affects the appearance of the device, but also affects the stability of the internal circuit of the card-reading main body and the reliability of long-term use. For precision devices, small internal damages sometimes lead to a significant decline in performance, such as slower reading speed, increased reading errors, etc. In addition, frequent collisions also cause damage to the installation frame itself, including deformation of the frame, damage to the screw holes or loosening of the fixing structure. These damages will further affect the stability and safety of the entire security system and increase the risk of failures in future use. To solve such problems, the present utility model adopts the method of installing a positioning spring piece. When the staff installs the card-reading main body to the installation frame, since the positioning spring piece is compressed, the positioning spring piece will apply a pressure to the positioning member, causing it to decelerate. At the same time, when it is installed at the predetermined position, the positioning spring piece will pop out and be embedded in the arc-embedded groove, giving feedback to the staff, achieving the effect of improving the user experience.
[0008] Preferably, a cutting-edge groove is formed in the limiting circumferential surface, which is convenient for the staff to pry up with tools such as a flat-head screwdriver, improving the user experience.
[0009] Preferably, fixing plates are fixed on both sides of the installation frame. Through holes are formed on the surfaces of the fixing plates, and a counterbore is formed on one side of the fixing plates, preventing parts such as bolts from protruding above the surface of the component, improving the user experience.
[0010] Preferably, a rubber pad is fixed on the inner wall of the counterbore, providing buffering and preventing rust adhesion between components, improving the service life of the device.
[0011] Preferably, a limiting angle is fixed on the front surface of the card-reading main body, which is convenient for users to use and improves the user experience.
[0012] Beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. In the prior art, there is a card reader with an integrated embedded design and security inspection function, and its usage frequency is usually very high. Such frequent operations make the surface of the card reader more vulnerable to wear. Especially in a high-intensity working environment, surface wear not only affects the overall aesthetics of the device, but also affects the normal operation of components. For example, the response speed of buttons or touch screens becomes slower. Most card readers, for the sake of safety and stability, are usually fixedly installed on the wall or other stable places. This fixed installation method, although ensuring the safety and stability of use, also brings inconvenience in disassembly and maintenance. When the device needs to be repaired or parts need to be replaced, the staff needs professional tools and complex operations to remove the card reader from the installation position. This process not only takes a long time, but also causes secondary damage to the device during disassembly and reinstallation. To solve such problems, the present utility model adopts the method of installing chamfered blocks. When the staff installs the card reading body into the installation frame, the card reading body is slid into the inner wall of the installation frame. The card reading body contacts and compresses the rounded corner of the chamfered block, presses the chamfered block, and at the same time compresses the return spring. When the fixing groove of the card reading body arrives, the return spring releases its elastic potential energy, pops out the chamfered block and embeds it into the fixing groove to fix the components. When the staff needs to disassemble the components, they only need to pull out or pry up the limiting circle to make the chamfered block enter the groove again, and then the components can be disassembled conveniently, greatly improving the convenience of disassembly, facilitating the maintenance of the staff, and achieving the effect of improving the user experience.
[0014] 2. In the prior art, during the process of the staff installing the card reading body into the installation frame, especially when the installation groove is designed to be relatively large, the card reading body is very likely to shift in the installation groove, thus deviating from the predetermined installation position. Once the components shift, it will not only increase the difficulty of fixing, but also prevent the fixing parts from being correctly aligned, resulting in unstable or failed fixing of the components. Such poor fixing will directly affect the performance of the card reader, such as inaccurate information reading or device loosening, and further affect the stable operation of the entire security system. To solve such problems, the present utility model adopts the method of installing positioning parts. When the staff installs the card reading body into the installation frame, the positioning parts are slid into the positioning grooves, ensuring that they slide in the established track while being parallel, achieving the effect of improving the stability of the device.
[0015] 3. In the prior art, during the installation process of the security system, especially in the step of assembling the card reader main body to the installation frame, the meticulousness and precision of the operation are crucial. However, if the staff slides too fast during the operation, it will inadvertently cause a collision between the card reader main body and the installation frame. Such a collision occurs not only during the process of initially placing the card reader main body into the slot, but also during the adjustment of alignment or final fixation. Once a collision occurs, even a slight impact will cause minor deformation or scratches on the card reader main body, and in severe cases, it may even cause cracks or fractures. Such physical damage not only affects the appearance of the device, but also affects the stability of the internal circuit of the card reader main body and the reliability of long-term use. For precision equipment, minor internal damage sometimes leads to a significant decline in performance, such as slower reading speed, increased reading errors, etc. In addition, frequent collisions also cause damage to the installation frame itself, including deformation of the frame, damage to the screw holes, or loosening of the fixing structure. These damages will further affect the stability and safety of the entire security system, increasing the risk of failures in future use. To address such problems, the present utility model adopts the method of installing a positioning spring piece, so that when the staff installs the card reader main body to the installation frame, due to the compression of the positioning spring piece, the positioning spring piece will exert pressure on the positioning member to slow it down. At the same time, when installed in the established position, the positioning spring piece will pop out and be embedded in the arc-shaped groove, giving feedback to the staff, achieving the effect of improving the user experience.

[0024] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and effects realized by the present utility model easy to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings. However, the following embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and not all of them. Based on the embodiments in the implementation manner, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] The specific embodiments of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Specific embodiment:
[0027] Refer to Figures 1-6, A card reader with an integrated embedded design and security inspection function, comprising a card reading main body 1 and an installation frame 101. Fixed slots 2 are provided on both sides of the card reading main body 1. A sliding slot 201 is provided on the inner wall of the installation frame 101. One end of the inner wall of the sliding slot 201 is slidably connected to a chamfered block 202. A connecting column 203 is fixed to one end of the chamfered block 202. A return spring 204 is provided on the circumferential surface of the connecting column 203. A limiting circle 205 is fixed to one end of the connecting column 203. For a card reader with an integrated embedded design and security inspection function, its usage frequency is usually very high. Such frequent operations make the surface of the card reader more vulnerable to wear. Especially in a high-intensity working environment, surface wear not only affects the overall aesthetics of the device, but also affects the normal operation of components. For example, the response speed of buttons or touchscreens becomes slower. Most card readers, for the sake of safety and stability, are usually fixedly installed on the wall or other stable places. This fixed installation method, while ensuring the safety and stability of use, also brings inconvenience in disassembly and maintenance. When the device needs to be repaired or parts need to be replaced, the staff needs professional tools and complex operations to remove the card reader from the installation position. This process not only takes a long time, but also causes secondary damage to the device during the disassembly and reinstallation processes. The problem is solved by adopting the method of installing the chamfered block 202. When the staff installs the card reading main body 1 into the installation frame 101, the card reading main body 1 is slid into the inner wall of the installation frame 101. The card reading main body 1 contacts and compresses the rounded corner of the chamfered block 202, pressing the chamfered block 202 and simultaneously compressing the return spring 204. When the fixed slot 2 of the card reading main body 1 arrives, the return spring 204 releases its elastic potential energy, popping out the chamfered block 202 to be embedded in the fixed slot 2, thus fixing the components. When the staff needs to disassemble the components, they only need to pull out or pry up the limiting circle 205 to make the chamfered block 202 enter the slot again, and then the components can be conveniently disassembled, greatly improving the convenience of disassembly, facilitating the staff's inspection and maintenance, and achieving the effect of improving the user experience. A cutting edge groove 206 is provided on the circumferential surface of the limiting circle 205, facilitating the staff to use tools such as flat-tip screwdrivers to pry up, improving the user experience. Fixing plates 4 are fixed on both sides of the installation frame 101. Through holes 401 are provided on the surface of the fixing plates 4. A counterbore 402 is provided on one side of the fixing plates 4 to prevent parts such as bolts from protruding above the surface of the components, improving the user experience. A rubber pad 403 is fixed to the inner wall of the counterbore 402 to provide buffering and prevent rust adhesion between the components, improving the service life of the device. A limiting angle 5 is fixed to the front surface of the card reading main body 1, facilitating user operation and improving the user experience.
[0028] Both sides of the inner wall of the installation frame 101 are provided with positioning grooves 301. Both sides of the card reading main body 1 are fixed with positioning members 3. The surface of the positioning member 3 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning groove 301. During the process of the staff installing the card reading main body 1 into the installation frame 101, especially when the installation groove is designed to be relatively large, the card reading main body 1 is very likely to shift in the installation groove, thus deviating from the predetermined installation position. Once the component shifts, it will not only increase the difficulty of fixation, but also prevent the fixing parts from being correctly aligned, resulting in unstable or failed component fixation. Such poor fixation will directly affect the performance of the card reader, such as inaccurate information reading or equipment loosening, and further affect the stable operation of the entire security system. The problem is solved by adopting the method of installing the positioning member 3. When the staff installs the card reading main body 1 into the installation frame 101, the positioning member 3 is slid into the positioning groove 301, ensuring parallelism while sliding in the established track, achieving the effect of improving the stability of the equipment. An arc-shaped embedding groove 303 is provided on the inner wall of the positioning groove 301. One side of the positioning member 3 is fixed with a positioning spring piece 302. During the installation of the security system, especially in the step of assembling the card reading main body 1 to the installation frame 101, the meticulousness and precision of the operation are crucial. However, if the staff slides too fast during the operation, it will inadvertently cause a collision between the card reading main body 1 and the installation frame 101. Such a collision occurs not only during the process of initially placing the card reading main body 1 into the groove, but also during the adjustment of alignment or final fixation. Once a collision occurs, even a slight impact will cause minor deformation or scratches on the card reading main body 1, and in severe cases, even cracks or fractures. Such physical damage not only affects the appearance of the equipment, but also affects the stability of the internal circuit of the card reading main body 1 and the reliability of long-term use. For precision equipment, minor internal damage sometimes leads to a significant decline in performance, such as slower reading speed, increased reading errors, etc. In addition, frequent collisions also cause damage to the installation frame 101 itself, including deformation of the frame, damage to the screw holes, or loosening of the fixing structure. These damages will further affect the stability and security of the entire security system, increasing the risk of failures in future use. The problem is solved by adopting the method of installing the positioning spring piece 302. When the staff installs the card reading main body 1 into the installation frame 101, due to the compression of the positioning spring piece 302, the positioning spring piece 302 will exert a pressure on the positioning member 3, causing it to decelerate. At the same time, when installed in the established position, the positioning spring piece 302 will pop out and be embedded in the arc-shaped embedding groove 303, giving feedback to the staff, achieving the effect of improving the user experience.
[0029] Working principle of the utility model: When a staff member installs the card reader main body 1 on the installation frame 101, the card reader main body 1 is slid into the inner wall of the installation frame 101. The card reader main body 1 contacts the rounded corner of the compression chamfer block 202, presses the chamfer block 202, and simultaneously compresses the return spring 204. When the fixing groove 2 of the card reader main body 1 arrives, the return spring 204 releases its elastic potential energy, pops out the chamfer block 202 and embeds it into the fixing groove 2 to fix the components. When the staff member needs to disassemble the components, only by pulling out or prying up the limiting circle 205 to make the chamfer block 202 enter the groove again can the components be conveniently disassembled.
