Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a terminal, and more particularly to a queuing and calling terminal, belonging to the field of self-service terminal technology. Background Technology

[0002] In the prior art, such as the utility model application with application number 202223577664.3, a queuing and calling terminal with an anti-queue-cutting barrier is disclosed. To solve the problem that current queuing and calling terminals usually use barriers to prevent queue-cutting, but while preventing queue-cutting, the operator still needs to enter through the barrier and exit, which not only affects the queuing order but also greatly reduces the efficiency of the queuing and calling terminal and makes it inconvenient to use, a barrier that can be flipped up and down is set at the front of the terminal and a side barrier that can be rotated horizontally is set on the side of the terminal. This design cleverly allows people to enter and exit the queuing and calling terminal in a loop after using it, which not only ensures the queuing order but also improves the efficiency of the queuing and calling terminal and enhances the user experience.

[0003] The above-mentioned applications still have shortcomings:

[0004] During the use of the terminal, after the operator enters in front of the terminal, they need to manually control the opening and closing of the barrier, which is inconvenient to operate.

[0005] To address this issue, a queuing and calling terminal was designed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a queuing terminal. A pedal is vertically slidably mounted on the base plate at the front of the terminal body, with a return spring between the bottom of the pedal and the base plate. The base plate is fixedly connected to a rack. In conjunction with the gears inside the C-shaped column and the front rail, when the operator moves towards the front of the terminal body, pressing down on the pedal causes the rack to move downwards, controlling the gears and the front rail to flip upwards, releasing the blocking state. After the operator steps onto the base, the front rail automatically resets, eliminating the need for manual operation and making it more convenient to use. A side rail is horizontally mounted on the side of the C-shaped column, with its length exceeding the distance between the square column and the terminal body. This allows the operator to quickly leave from the side after taking a number. The side rail can only rotate in one direction, effectively preventing queue-jumping. Furthermore, the reset mechanism, consisting of a fixed block, a rotating rod, a protective shell, and a spring, makes resetting the side rail even more convenient.

[0007] The objective of this utility model can be achieved by adopting the following technical solution:

[0008] A queuing and calling terminal includes a terminal body and a base installed at the bottom of the terminal body. A stepped groove is provided on the top of the base at the front end of the terminal body. A pedal is vertically slidably installed inside the stepped groove. Return springs are evenly distributed between the bottom of the pedal and the bottom of the stepped groove. A U-shaped column is vertically fixed to one side of the base. A rack is vertically slidably installed inside the U-shaped column and fixed to the pedal. A gear is rotatably installed on the top of the inner side of the U-shaped column, meshing with the rack. A front railing is fixed parallel to the side of the gear, blocking the front end of the terminal body. A side railing is rotatably installed on the top of the side of the U-shaped column near the terminal body. A reset mechanism for controlling the reset of the side railing is provided at the top of the side of the U-shaped column. A fixed railing is fixed between the side of the base away from the U-shaped column and the terminal body.

[0009] Preferably, a rod is vertically fixed at the bottom of the pedal, and a socket is provided at the top of the stepped groove to cooperate with the rod, with the rod slidably disposed inside the socket.

[0010] Preferably, the number of inserts is the same as the number of return springs, and the inserts pass through the inside of the return springs.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the base is provided with a rubber pad, and the bottom of the rubber pad is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0012] Preferably, the reset mechanism includes a fixed block, a rotating rod, a protective shell, and a spring. The fixed block is horizontally fixed to the side of the U-shaped column. There are two sets of fixed blocks, and the two sets of fixed blocks are parallel to each other. A rotating rod is rotatably installed between the fixed blocks. The end of the side rail is fixed to the rotating rod. A protective shell is fixed to the fixed block at the top of the outer side of the U-shaped column. The rotating rod extends into the interior of the protective shell and is rotatably connected to the inner top of the protective shell. A spring is installed between the outer side of the rotating rod and the inner side of the protective shell. The outer end of the spring is fixed to the inner side of the protective shell, and the inner end of the spring is fixedly connected to the rotating rod.

[0013] Preferably, a buffer pad is fixed on the side of the terminal body near the side railing, and the buffer pad is in contact with the end of the side railing.

[0014] Preferably, the front railing, side railing, and fixed railing are all cylindrical metal bars, and the surface of the metal bars is coated with a smooth coating.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] This utility model provides a queuing and calling terminal machine. A pedal is vertically slidably installed on the base plate at the front end of the terminal body, and a return spring is provided between the bottom of the pedal and the base plate. In addition, the base plate is fixedly connected to the rack. In conjunction with the gear inside the C-shaped column and the front rail, when the operator moves to the front end of the terminal body, pressing down on the pedal can drive the rack to move down, control the gear and the front rail to flip up, release the blocking state, and automatically reset the front rail after the operator steps on the base. No manual control is required, making it more convenient to use.

[0017] By installing a side railing horizontally on the side of the square column, with the length of the side railing being greater than the distance between the square column and the terminal body, operators can quickly leave from the side after taking a number. The side railing can only rotate in one direction, effectively blocking people from cutting in line. In addition, the use of a reset mechanism consisting of a fixing block, a rotating rod, a protective shell, and a spring makes it easier to reset the side railing. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to understand the technical solution of this utility model more clearly, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings, but the implementation of this utility model is not limited thereto.

[0024] like Figures 1-4As shown, this embodiment provides a queuing and calling terminal, including a terminal body 1 and a base 2 installed at the bottom of the terminal body 1. A stepped groove 3 is provided on the top of the base 2 and at the front end of the terminal body 1. A pedal 4 is vertically slidably provided inside the stepped groove 3. A return spring 5 is evenly provided between the bottom of the pedal 4 and the bottom of the stepped groove 3. A C-shaped column 6 is vertically fixed on one side of the base 2. A rack 7 is vertically slidably provided inside the C-shaped column 6 and is fixed on the pedal 4. A gear 8 is rotatably installed on the top of the inner side of the C-shaped column 6. The rack 7 meshes with the gear 8. A front rail 9 is fixed parallel to the side of the gear 8 and blocks the front end of the terminal body 1. A side rail 10 is rotatably installed on the top of the side of the C-shaped column 6 near the terminal body 1. A reset mechanism 11 for controlling the reset of the side rail 10 is provided at the top of the side of the C-shaped column 6. A fixed rail 12 is fixed between the side of the base 2 away from the C-shaped column 6 and the terminal body 1.

[0025] Overall working principle: During use, the operator stands in line at the front of the terminal body 1. When the operator uses the terminal body 1, they first step onto the top of the pedal 4 and control the pedal 4 to move downward. The pedal 4 will drive the rack 7 to move downward. When the rack 7 moves downward, it will drive the gear 8 to rotate. Therefore, the front railing 9 will automatically flip upward, releasing the obstruction to the user. After the user steps onto the top of the base 2, the return spring 5 controls the pedal 4 to move upward and reset. At this time, the front railing 9 will automatically reset and form an obstruction behind the user. After the operation is completed, the operator walks out from one side of the side railing 10. The side railing 10 is automatically controlled to rotate outward. After the operator leaves, the reset mechanism 11 controls the side railing 10 to actively reset. The device is then in use.

[0026] In this embodiment, a rod 18 is vertically fixed at the bottom of the pedal 4, and a socket 17 that mates with the rod 18 is opened at the top of the stepped groove 3. The rod 18 is slidably disposed inside the socket 17.

[0027] Local working principle: During the process of stepping on pedal 4, the limiting effect of the plug rod 18 can prevent pedal 4 from shifting to the side, thus ensuring the stability of pedal 4 position.

[0028] In this embodiment, the number of insertion rods 18 is the same as that of the return springs 5, and the insertion rods 18 pass through the inside of the return springs 5.

[0029] Local working principle: The reset spring 5 is limited by the plug rod 18 to prevent the reset spring 5 from deforming outward, thus ensuring the effectiveness of the reset spring 5.

[0030] In this embodiment, the bottom of the base 2 is provided with a rubber pad, and the bottom of the rubber pad is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0031] Local working principle: The use of rubber pads improves the stability of the device.

[0032] In this embodiment, the reset mechanism 11 includes a fixing block 13, a rotating rod 14, a protective shell 15, and a spring 16. The fixing block 13 is horizontally fixed to the side of the U-shaped column 6. There are two sets of fixing blocks 13, and the two sets of fixing blocks 13 are parallel to each other. The rotating rod 14 is rotatably installed between the fixing blocks 13. The end of the side rail 10 is fixed to the rotating rod 14. The protective shell 15 is fixed to the fixing block 13 at the top of the outer side of the U-shaped column 6. The rotating rod 14 extends into the interior of the protective shell 15 and is rotatably connected to the inner top end of the protective shell 15. A spring 16 is installed between the outer side of the rotating rod 14 and the inner side of the protective shell 15. The outer end of the spring 16 is fixed to the inner side of the protective shell 15, and the inner end of the spring 16 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 14.

[0033] Local working principle: When the side rail 10 is controlled to rotate and swing outward, it will drive the rotation of the rotating rod 14. The rotation of the rotating rod 14 compresses the spring 16. When the operator leaves, the side rail 10 loses the outward force, the spring 16 automatically resets, controls the rotating rod 14 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the side rail 10 re-attaches to the surface of the terminal body 1 to form a barrier protection.

[0034] In this embodiment, a buffer pad is fixed on the side of the terminal body 1 near the side rail 10, and the buffer pad is in contact with the end of the side rail 10.

[0035] Local working principle: The use of a buffer pad can reduce the impact force of the side rail 10 on the terminal body 1 during the reset process, thereby reducing damage to the terminal body 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, the front railing 9, the side railing 10, and the fixed railing 12 are all cylindrical metal rods, and the surface of the metal rods is coated with a smooth coating.

[0037] Local working principle: The use of cylindrical metal rods will not create sharp edges on the surface of the railing, making it safer to use.

[0038] The above description is only a further embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the scope disclosed by the present utility model, based on the technical solution and concept of the present utility model, shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
