Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of payment terminals, and in particular relates to a mechanical card return mechanism and a payment terminal. Background Art

[0002] When executing transactions using payment terminals, accurate bank card insertion and recognition are crucial. To ensure accurate reading and transmission of transaction information, the bank card must be securely positioned within the terminal's designated slot. However, in practice, users often encounter operational difficulties, particularly when attempting to remove the card from the slot.

[0003] Specifically, due to the limitations of the terminal device, when a bank card is in the identification state, the end of the card that is exposed outside the card slot is often designed to be relatively short. This design was originally intended to improve security and prevent unauthorized individuals from easily removing or stealing the card. However, this design also leads to a drawback that cannot be ignored: after the transaction is completed, when the user tries to pull out the bank card with force, due to the limited grip area, it is often difficult to exert sufficient force, making it difficult to successfully remove the card from the card slot. Therefore, improvement is necessary. Utility Model Content
