[0030] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0031] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways than those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0032] like Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, the present invention provides a drop-proof POS machine, comprising a POS machine body 1, a display screen 2 mounted on the surface of the POS machine body 1, a plurality of buttons 3 mounted on the surface of the POS machine body 1, a scanning port 4 provided on the surface of the POS machine body 1, a card swiping slot 5 provided on the surface of the POS machine body 1, and an anti-drop structure 6 provided on the surface of the POS machine body 1. By providing the anti-drop structure 6, a protective cover 61 is provided on the surface of the POS machine body 1, thereby protecting the POS machine body 1 and preventing damage to internal components caused by the POS machine body 1 falling, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the POS machine body 1. A covering structure 7 is provided on the surface of the POS machine body 1. By providing the covering structure 7, the scanning port 4 can be easily covered with a cover plate 75, thereby preventing the scanning port 4 from being exposed to the outside and being damaged by bumps.

[0033] The specific configuration and function of the anti-fall structure 6 and the covering structure 7 will be described in detail below.

[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the anti-fall structure 6 includes two protective covers 61, which are respectively placed on either side of the POS terminal body 1. A rectangular box 62 and an adjustment arm 63 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two protective covers 61. The adjustment arm 63 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rectangular box 62, and a bolt 64 is threadedly connected to the surface of the rectangular box 62. A rectangular slot 66 is formed on each side of the adjustment arm 63. The inner wall of the rectangular slot 66 is slidably connected to a limit plate 65, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the rectangular box 62. When the adjustment arm 63 moves, the limit plate 65 slides along the inner wall of the rectangular slot 66. The limit plate 65 serves to limit the movement path of the adjustment arm 63, preventing the adjustment arm 63 from falling out of the rectangular box 62 and being inconveniently inserted back. Several rubber blocks 67 are fixedly attached to the inner wall of the protective cover 61. A rubber cover 68 is fixedly attached to the side of the rubber blocks 67 facing away from the protective cover 61. The size of the rubber cover 68 matches the size of the POS machine body 1. The protective cover 61 drives the rubber cover 68 over the surface of the POS machine body 1. When the protective cover 61 contacts the ground, the protective cover 61 squeezes the rubber blocks 67 and, in turn, the rubber cover 68. Together, the rubber blocks 67 and the rubber cover 68 further enhance the protection of the POS machine body 1. Two springs 69 are fixedly attached to one end of the adjustment arm 63. The end of the spring 69 facing away from the adjustment arm 63 is fixedly attached to the inner wall of the rectangular box 62. The adjustment arm 63 gradually inserts into the rectangular box 62 using the contracting force of the springs 69. The contracting force of the springs 69 facilitates positioning the protective cover 61 on both sides of the POS machine, thereby facilitating further securement.

[0035] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the covering structure 7 includes a bracket 71, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the POS machine body 1. A latch 72 is slidably inserted through the surface of the bracket 71. A limiting arm 73 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bracket 71. The end of the limiting arm 73 away from the bracket 71 is fixedly connected to a cover plate 75. The surface of the limiting arm 73 is provided with two circular holes 74, the size of which matches the size of the latch 72. An elastic cord 76 is fixedly connected to one end of the latch 72. The end of the elastic cord 76 away from the latch 72 is fixedly connected to the bracket 71. When the latch 72 moves, the elastic cord 76 is pulled, and the elastic cord 76 reaches the position of the latch 72, preventing the latch 72 from being pulled out of the circular hole 74 and falling out, thereby preventing it from being lost. A sealing ring 77 is fixedly connected to the side of the cover 75 close to the POS machine body 1. When the cover 75 covers the scanning port 4, the sealing ring 77 will be driven to fit tightly against the surface of the POS machine body 1. The sealing ring 77 improves the airtightness between the cover 75 and the POS machine body 1, thereby preventing dust from entering the scanning port 4 through the gap.

[0036] Its overall working principle is that when the POS machine body 1 needs to be protected, the bolt 64 is first rotated. The rotation of the bolt 64 will move in the rectangular box 62 with the help of the thread. The movement of the bolt 64 will move in the direction away from the adjustment arm 63. When the bolt 64 moves to the appropriate position, the two protective covers 61 are pulled in the direction away from each other. The movement of the protective cover 61 will cause the adjustment arm 63 to gradually disengage from the rectangular box 62. The adjustment arm 63 will cause the spring 69 to stretch when moving. The movement of the adjustment arm 63 will cause the limit plate 65 to slide along the inner wall of the rectangular groove 66. The limit plate 65 limits the movement path of the adjustment arm 63, preventing the adjustment arm 63 from disengaging from the rectangular box 62 and being inconvenient to insert back. When the two protective covers 61 move to the appropriate position, the two protective covers 61 are placed on both sides of the POS machine body 1, and then the protective covers 61 are released. The adjustment arm 63 will contract with the help of the spring 69. Gradually insert it into the rectangular box 62, and the movement of the adjusting arm 63 will drive the protective cover 61 to move until the two protective covers 61 are sleeved on both sides of the POS machine body 1. The protective cover 61 will drive the rubber cover 68 to be sleeved on the surface of the POS machine body 1. When the rubber cover is tightly sleeved on the surface of the POS machine body 1, rotate the bolt 64 until the bolt 64 abuts against the surface of the adjusting arm 63. The bolt 64 reaches the position of limiting the adjusting arm 63, and then limits the position of the protective cover 61, thereby fixing the protective cover 61 on the surface of the POS machine body 1. At this time, the POS machine body 1 falls to the ground. First, the protective cover 61 will contact the ground. The protective cover 61 will squeeze the rubber block 67 and then squeeze the rubber cover 68. The protective cover 61 protects the POS machine body 1 and prevents the POS machine body 1 from falling. The rubber block 67 and the rubber cover 68 further improve the effect of protecting the POS machine body 1.

[0037] When it is necessary to protect the scanning port 4, the latch 72 is first pulled. The latch 72 moves and slides within the bracket 71 and gradually disengages from the circular hole 74. The elastic rope 76 is pulled as the latch 72 moves. When the latch 72 disengages from the circular hole 74, the limit arm 73 is rotated. The rotation of the limit arm 73 drives the cover 75 to rotate. The cover 75 rotates in the direction closer to the scanning port 4. When the cover 75 is rotated to a suitable angle, the cover 75 covers the scanning port 4, thereby preventing the scanning port 4 from being damaged by bumps. When the cover 75 covers the scanning port 4, it drives the sealing ring 77 to fit tightly against the surface of the POS machine body 1. The sealing ring 77 improves the airtightness between the cover 75 and the POS machine body 1, thereby preventing dust from entering the scanning port 4 through the gap. Then, the latch 72 is pressed and inserted into the circular hole 74. The latch 72 reaches the position of limiting the limit arm 73, thereby limiting the position of the cover 75.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any other form. Any technician familiar with the profession may use the technical content disclosed above to change or modify it into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes for application in other fields. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification of the above embodiment made according to the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present invention.
