[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution: a handheld refueling payment terminal, which is generally used in gas stations. When refueling at a gas station, staff often use the handheld payment terminal 1 to scan the code for payment. During refueling, the payment terminal 1 is often placed carelessly by the staff, which can easily lead to its loss. Specifically, the payment terminal 1 mentioned in this utility model is covered with a protective shell 2. The protective shell 2 is impact-resistant and protects the payment terminal 1, preventing the staff from dropping the payment terminal 1 and causing damage.

[0025] Additionally, the clamping assembly 3 includes a first circular plate 301, a spring 305, and a first cylinder 306. When the staff is ready to refuel, they first bring the payment terminal 1 and the protective shell 2 close to the hemispherical block 312 at the same time. With the first circular plate 301 installed on the protective shell 2, the protective shell 2 can bring the first circular plate 301 close to the hemispherical block 312.

[0026] A circular groove 302 is provided on the first circular plate 301, and two circular holes 303 are provided on the first circular plate 301 for supporting the first cylinder 306. Two T-shaped grooves 304 are provided on the first circular plate 301. With the circular holes 303 and T-shaped grooves 304 being distributed through each other, it is convenient for the first cylinder 306 to slide. With the spring 305 cooperating with the T-shaped grooves 304 and the spring 305 sleeved on the first cylinder 306, and the first cylinder 306 passing through the circular holes 303 and T-shaped grooves 304, and with a wedge 307 installed at one end of the first cylinder 306, the wedge 307 can automatically rebound through the reset movement of the spring 305. A limit plate 308 is installed at the other end of the first cylinder 306. The limit plate 308 is located outside the first circular plate 301 and plays a limiting role for the first cylinder 306, so that the first cylinder 306 does not deviate from its original movement trajectory.

[0027] Additionally, the clamping assembly 3 also includes a second circular plate 309, on which a second cylinder 310 is mounted. A slider 311 is slidably fitted on the outer wall of the second cylinder 310. The slider 311 is a semi-conical shape with smaller sides than the middle. A hemispherical block 312 is mounted on the end of the second cylinder 310 away from the second circular plate 309. A blind groove 313 is provided on the hemispherical block 312.
