[0031] The present utility model provides a self-service printer.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present utility model, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, the self-service printer includes a cabinet 10, an electric control device, a printing device 20 and a display stand 30.

[0033] Specifically, a paper taking port 11 is provided on one side of the cabinet 10. The paper taking port 11 is communicated with the inside of the cabinet 10, and the electric control device is arranged in the cabinet 10; the printing device 20 is installed in the cabinet 10 and is electrically connected with the electric control device. The paper outlet of the printing device 20 is communicated with the paper taking port 11; the display stand 30 is arranged on the top of the cabinet 10. The display stand 30 is provided with a light-transmitting part and a light-emitting component 32 arranged inside the light-transmitting part. The light-transmitting part is located at the front side of the display stand 30 and has a display surface 31. The light-emitting component 32 is electrically connected with the electric control device.

[0034] The printing device 20 is a device for printing documents or photos. This device can refer to the prior art, and the present application will not elaborate on this one by one. Among them, the printing device 20 can be a color inkjet printer or a color laser printer, etc., or it can also be an ordinary black-and-white printer, which can be specifically set according to actual needs, and the present application does not make specific restrictions on this.

[0035] The electric control device includes an electric control component and a control circuit board and other circuit structures for controlling the operation of the printing device and the light-emitting component 32.

[0036] The display surface 31 is used for posting posters (advertisements). The light emitted by the light-emitting component 32 can pass through the light-transmitting part to provide light for the poster, so that in a dark environment, users can clearly see the content displayed on the poster. Among them, the display surface 31 can be located on the inner side surface of the light-transmitting part or on the outer side surface of the light-transmitting part.

[0037] It should be understood that the poster posted on the display surface 31 has a certain light transmittance. In this way, when the poster is posted on the display surface 31, the light emitted by the light-emitting component 32 will not be completely blocked by the poster, so that a part of the light emitted by the light-emitting component 32 can pass through the poster.

[0038] The technical solution of the present utility model provides information for users by posting a poster on the display surface 31 by arranging the display stand 30 on the top of the cabinet 10. The display stand 30 is provided with a light-transmitting part and a light-emitting component 32 is arranged inside the light-transmitting part. The light-transmitting part is located at the front side of the display stand 30 and has a display surface 31 for posting posters. In this way, there is no need to set a display screen on the self-service printer, avoiding the cost of later maintenance of the display screen, that is, reducing the use cost of the self-service printer. At the same time, it is also beneficial to reduce the production cost of the self-service printer.

[0039] In some embodiments, a condenser cover 33 is provided inside the display stand 30. The condenser cover 33 covers the light-transmitting part, and the light-emitting component 32 is installed on the condenser cover 33. A reflective surface is formed on the inner wall of the condenser cover 33.

[0040] Specifically, the light emitted by the light-emitting component 32 can be reflected by the reflective surface on the inner wall of the condenser cover 33. That is, under the action of the reflective surface, even without increasing the number of light-emitting components 32, more light can be directed towards the light-transmitting part, thereby improving the display effect of the display stand 30. Of course, in other embodiments, the inner wall of the condenser cover 33 may not be provided with a reflective surface.

[0041] Further, the light-emitting component 32 is provided on the side wall of the condenser cover 33 adjacent to the light-transmitting part. That is, the irradiation direction of the light-emitting component 32 is substantially parallel to the display surface 31. This setting can prevent the light-emitting component 32 from directly irradiating the light-transmitting part, resulting in strong light at the position irradiated by the light-emitting component 32 while poor light in other positions. Such a setting is beneficial to improving the display effect of the display stand 30. Of course, in other embodiments, the light-emitting component 32 is provided on the side of the condenser cover 33 opposite to the light-transmitting part.

[0042] In some embodiments, the light-emitting component 32 includes a plurality of first lighting lamps 321, and the plurality of first lighting lamps 321 are all installed on the condenser cover 33. Specifically, there are at least two first lighting lamps 321. The plurality of first lighting lamps 321 are all provided on the side wall of the condenser cover 33 adjacent to the transparent part, and each first lighting lamp 321 is spaced apart from each other. This setting makes the light received by each position of the poster pasted on the display surface 31 relatively uniform, thereby improving the display effect of the display stand 30. Exemplarily, the number of the first lighting lamps 321 can be two, three, four, etc. Of course, in other embodiments, there may also be one first lighting lamp 321.

[0043] In some embodiments, the display stand 30 includes a housing 34 and a cover plate 35. A light-transmitting part is provided on the front side of the housing 34, and an installation opening 341 is provided on the rear side of the housing 34. The cover plate 35 is pivotally covered on the installation opening 341. That is, the light-transmitting part and the installation opening 341 are oppositely arranged. Specifically in actual installation, the staff can install the condenser cover 33 and the electronic components inside the display stand 30 through the installation opening 341. At the same time, when the light-emitting component 32 and the electronic components inside the display stand 30 fail or need regular maintenance, the installation opening 341 can be opened through the cover plate 35 for maintenance or repair operations. This is beneficial to improving the maintenance convenience of the display stand 30. Optionally, a sealing gasket is provided between the edges of the cover plate 35 and the installation opening 341 to improve the sealing performance of the display stand 30.

[0044] In some embodiments, a placement table 36 is provided on the top of the cabinet 10, and the placement table 36 is located between the display stand 30 and the front side of the cabinet 10.

[0045] Specifically, the storage table 36 is provided at the rear side of the cabinet body 10, so that a storage table 36 is formed between the front side surface of the cabinet body 10 and the display table 30. During the process of the user operating the self-service printer, the user can place items (such as bags, handbags, etc.) on the storage table 36. After the user's document or photo is printed, the user can also place the printed document or photo on the storage table 36 for sorting. Such a setting is beneficial to improving the user experience. Of course, in other embodiments, the storage table 36 may not be provided on the top of the cabinet body 10.

[0046] In some embodiments, the display table 30 further includes a speaker 37. The speaker 37 is provided on the display table 30 and is electrically connected to the electric control device. The speaker 37 is used to emit different prompt sounds according to the working progress of the printing device 20.

[0047] Exemplarily, when the printing device 20 is performing printing work, the speaker 37 will emit a prompt sound associated with "the printing device 20 is printing".

[0048] Exemplarily, when the printing device 20 finishes printing, the speaker 37 will emit a prompt sound associated with "the document or photo has been printed".

[0049] It can be understood that through the setting of the speaker 37, the user can intuitively understand the current printing progress.

[0050] Further, the self-service printer includes two speakers 37. The two speakers 37 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the display table 30 to simultaneously broadcast the printing progress of the printing device 20 through the two speakers 37.

[0051] In some embodiments, the display table 30 further includes a power module. The power module is installed in the display table 30 and is electrically connected to the light-emitting component 32. Specifically, the power module is used to provide electric energy for the light-emitting component 32. The power module can be used as a backup power source. In the case of a power outage, the power module provides power for the light-emitting component 32 to illuminate the poster posted on the display surface 31. Of course, in other embodiments, the display table 30 may not be provided with a power module.

[0052] In some embodiments, the side wall of the cabinet body 10 is provided with a heat dissipation port 12, and the heat dissipation port 12 communicates with the inside of the cabinet body 10. As we know, when the printing device 20 is performing printing work, a large amount of heat will be generated. By providing the heat dissipation port 12, the heat generated by the printing device 20 can be discharged from the heat dissipation port 12, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the self-service printer. Of course, in other embodiments, the side wall of the cabinet body 10 may not be provided with a heat dissipation port 12. Further, the side wall of the cabinet body 10 is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation ports 12, and the plurality of heat dissipation ports 12 are distributed in a matrix.

[0053] In some embodiments, a storage cavity 21 is provided between the paper outlet of the printing device 20 and the paper pickup port 11. The storage cavity 21 communicates with the paper outlet and the paper pickup port 11 of the printing device 20. The self-service printer further includes a lighting device, which is disposed on the cavity wall of the storage cavity 21 and is electrically connected to the electric control device, and the lighting device faces the storage cavity 21.

[0054] Specifically, the storage cavity 21 is used to temporarily store the printed paper, and the lighting device is used to illuminate the storage cavity 21. In this way, even in a poorly lit environment, the user can clearly see the situation inside the storage cavity 21, which facilitates the user to pick up the item and effectively prevents the printed paper from being left in the storage cavity 21.
