[0002] With social development, the application of wall-mounted self-service terminals is becoming increasingly widespread, and their use in various industries is also on the rise, such as social security bureaus, telecommunications companies, airports, post offices, transportation, power companies, tax bureaus, gas stations, and so on. This is not only due to the convenience provided by the self-service terminals themselves, but also because they are an indispensable product of social and economic development. Besides their widespread use in government agencies such as banks, tax bureaus, and social security bureaus, wall-mounted self-service terminals have recently been increasingly used in public places such as hospitals and communities. From bank ATMs and hospital queuing systems to simple shopping and dining, self-service has become deeply integrated into people's lives. As demand continues to increase, self-service terminals themselves are also constantly being improved and developed.

[0003] For example, CN209728949U provides a wall-mounted self-service terminal. However, like traditional terminals, this self-service terminal uses a panel-type structure for fixing and sealing the rear casing to facilitate the installation of the external casing. Although this method is convenient for installation, it has a problem: the main body of the entire device is inside the casing, and its sides are blocked by panel posts, which makes subsequent maintenance very inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a self-service terminal.

[0005] A self-service terminal includes a housing, which is composed of a front housing and a rear housing. A display screen assembly and a ticketing assembly are installed inside the housing. The front and rear housings are fixed together by a bracket. The front housing includes a front panel and a first plate on the left side and a second plate on the right side of the front panel, respectively. The bracket extends outwards from the first and second plates. The rear housing includes a rear panel and a third plate on the left side and a fourth plate on the right side of the rear panel, respectively. The bracket fixes the third and fourth plates to the front housing. The bracket includes a first crossbar fixed inside the front panel, located at both ends of the bracket, and a first longitudinally arranged first vertical bar. The first vertical bar has a mounting groove, and a mounting pin is provided in the mounting groove. The mounting pin is inserted into a mounting hole on the rear housing. The first vertical bar also has a locking groove and a locking cap, which is fixedly inserted into the locking groove.

[0006] Preferably, the device also includes a connector, which is fixedly installed in the locking groove. The connector includes a connecting piece extending outside the locking groove. The connecting piece is bendable and has a threaded connecting hole. The locking cap is threadedly fixed to the connecting hole.

[0007] Preferably, the mounting groove is a vertically oriented strip groove, and there are two mounting grooves, located on the upper and lower sides of the locking groove, respectively.

[0008] Preferably, the mounting groove is a keyway shape arranged vertically, and the locking groove is a keyway shape arranged horizontally.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the mounting pin is provided with a threaded hole, and the mounting pin is fixedly connected to the first longitudinal rod by a screw passing through the mounting groove.

[0010] Preferably, the ticketing assembly includes a mounting frame, which includes a base, a printer head, and a paper output assembly. The printer head is fixed near the ticket output port on the front panel. A mounting bracket is provided on the back of the printing mechanism. The base is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket, and a control circuit board is provided at the bottom of the base.

[0011] Preferably, the mounting bracket includes a front plate and a rear plate, and the front and rear ends of the base are connected by two connecting parts, one of which is a guide shaft passing through the front plate and the rear plate.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, this solution has the following advantages: The design of the housing allows most internal components to extend beyond the front housing, and the side plates on both sides of the front housing are shorter, facilitating subsequent maintenance. A corresponding bracket is also provided for this design, which can accommodate the installation of the rear housing and is very easy to disassemble. Furthermore, since both the mounting groove and locking groove are elongated, the machining precision requirements for the rear housing are not high, resulting in greater adaptability.

The front housing 1 includes a front panel, a first plate 3 on the left side of the front panel, and a second plate 4 on the right side of the front panel. The bracket 7 extends outside the first plate 3 and the second plate 4. The rear housing 2 includes a rear panel, a third plate 5 on the left side of the rear panel, and a fourth plate 6 on the right side of the rear panel. In this embodiment, both the front housing 1 and the rear housing 2 are integrally formed structures. During installation, the first plate 3 and the third plate 5 are aligned, and the second plate 4 and the fourth plate 6 are aligned.

[0020] The bracket 7 fixes the third plate 5 and the fourth plate 6 to the front housing 1. The bracket 7 includes a first crossbar 8 fixed inside the front panel, the first crossbar 8 being located at both ends of the bracket 7.
