Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of self-service terminals, and in particular relates to a self-service terminal suitable for hospitals. Background Art

[0002] Self-service kiosks are common in hospitals, primarily used by patients for self-service registration and bill payment. Existing kiosks are categorized by type as either stand-alone or wall-mounted. Wall-mounted kiosks are inconvenient to use for several reasons: Firstly, they lack a lift function. A significant proportion of hospital patients use wheelchairs or have physical developmental abnormalities resulting in short stature due to illness. These patients face difficulties using wall-mounted kiosks, as the installation height is based on the average height of a person. Consequently, these patients require assistance to register or pay. Secondly, most wall-mounted kiosks utilize touchscreens for various operations. Furthermore, the flat surfaces of these kiosks make it difficult to place disinfectant, which can easily lead to residual germs on the touchscreen, posing a public health risk. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a self-service terminal suitable for hospitals, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background technology. To achieve this purpose, the specific technical solution is as follows:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] A self-service terminal suitable for hospitals, comprising: a self-service terminal body 1, a mounting plate 2, a drive motor 3, a screw rod 4, a bearing 5, a disinfection device 6, an infrared human body sensing sensor 7, an electric push rod 8, a base 9, a pressing plate 10, a spring 11, a switch 12 and a controller 13. The self-service terminal body 1 is suspended and fixed on the mounting plate 2, and the drive motors 3 are fixedly installed on the mounting plates 2 above the self-service terminal body 1. The rotating shaft of each drive motor 3 is fixedly installed with a vertical screw rod 4, and the lower end of each screw rod 4 is nested in a bearing 5 fixedly installed on the mounting plate 2. The disinfection device 6 consists of two The side screw rods 4 are fixed together and driven up and down by the screw rod 4. The infrared human body sensing sensor 7 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 2 below the self-service terminal body 1. The base 9 is fixedly mounted with an electric push rod 8, and the electric push rod 8 drives the mounting plate 2 to rise and fall. Grooves are set on both sides of the front of the base 9. The pressing plate 10 is installed in the groove through a spring 11. A switch 12 is set between the pressing plate 10 and the bottom of the groove. A controller 13 is fixedly installed inside the base 9. The controller 13 receives the signal of the infrared human body sensing sensor 7 to control the operation of the drive motor 3. The controller 13 receives the signal of the switch 12 to control the operation of the electric push rod 8.

[0021] Preferably, the self-service terminal body 1 is a wall-mounted self-service integrated machine.

[0022] Preferably, the disinfection device 6 consists of a strip-shaped liquid storage box 601 and screw sliders 602 on both sides. The top surface of the liquid storage box 601 is open and a removable box cover 603 is provided. A notch is provided on the upper back of the liquid storage box 601, and several L-shaped sponge strips 604 are installed in the notch, and a part of the sponge strips 604 is located inside the liquid storage box 601, and a part extends to the outside of the liquid storage box 601.

[0023] Preferably, the liquid storage box 601 and the box cover 603 are mounted magnetically.

[0024] Preferably, the switch 12 is a push switch.

[0025] Preferably, the controller 13 is a single chip microcomputer controller or a PLC controller.

[0026] In particular, this embodiment does not involve any improvement to the structure of the self-service terminal body 1 itself. The self-service terminal body 1 used is an existing device, specifically model JXT2150G.

[0027] In particular, the size and shape of the mounting plate 2 match the self-service terminal body 1 .

[0028] In particular, the specific size and shape of the disinfection device 6 , the specific size of the sponge strip 604 , and the gap between the liquid storage box 601 and the self-service terminal body 1 all match the self-service terminal body 1 .

[0029] The specific working method of this embodiment is as follows:

[0030] The controller controls the forward and reverse rotation of the drive motor and the lifting and lowering of the electric push rod through the H-bridge motor driver integrated circuit.

[0031] The controller receives the signal from the infrared human body sensing sensor through an analog-to-digital converter.

[0032] Before the device is put into use, the box cover 603 is opened first, disinfectant is added into the liquid storage box 601, and then the box cover 603 is closed. At this time, the sponge strip 604 absorbs the disinfectant and becomes wet.

[0033] When a patient needs to adjust the height of the self-service terminal body 1, he or she can use his or her feet or a wheelchair to press the corresponding pressing plate 10 to raise or lower the self-service terminal body. At this time, the pressing plate 10 moves inward, triggering the switch 12, so that the controller 13 controls the electric push rod 8 to move up and down. When the self-service terminal body 1 moves to the appropriate height, the pressing plate 10 is released. The pressing plate 10 is reset under the action of the spring 11, and the self-service terminal body 1 stops moving. At this time, the infrared human body sensing sensor 7 detects that there is a person in front of the self-service terminal body 1, so that the controller 13 controls the drive motor 3 to work, driving the screw rod 4 to rotate, so that the disinfection device 6 moves from the top of the self-service terminal body 1 to the bottom, and then back to the top. During this reciprocating process, the sponge strips 604 of the disinfection device 6 contact the operating surface of the self-service terminal body 1 to wipe and disinfect it. At the same time, since each sponge strip 604 is independent of each other, even if the operating surface of the self-service terminal body 1 has a height difference, there will be no blind spot.
