A multi-functional card reader mounting structure for a self-service kiosks includes: a card reader 200 and a bracket 300; the card reader 200 is mounted on one side of the self-service kiosks body 100 via the bracket 300 and is electrically connected to the self-service kiosks body 100, suitable for transmitting read data to the self-service kiosks body 100; the bracket 300 includes: a mounting shell and a bottom shell 310; the bottom shell 310 is located at the bottom of the mounting shell; one side of the mounting shell is suitable for fixed connection to the side wall of the self-service kiosks body 100; the card reader 200 is fixed on the mounting shell of the bracket 300, and a protective shell 330 is provided on the top surface of the mounting shell, the protective shell 330 being located on the side of the card reader 200's connecting wire.

[0041] It should be noted that this application integrates the self-service kiosk body 100 and the card reader 200 into a single unit. The bracket 300 is designed to mount the card reader 200 on one side of the self-service kiosk body 100. The mounting shell is designed to support the card reader 200, which can appropriately increase the area for fixed connection with the self-service kiosk body 100. The bottom shell 310, located at the bottom of the mounting shell, serves as a support for the mounting shell and can reinforce the support, preventing instability caused by the mounting shell being connected to the self-service kiosk body 100 alone. With the reinforcement of the bracket 300, the card reader 200 can be effectively supported, ensuring a stable connection between the card reader 200 and the self-service kiosk body 100. This facilitates the handling of the entire device while also ensuring the operational stability of the self-service kiosk body 100 and the card reader 200.

[0042] In one possible implementation, the bracket 300 includes a mounting shell and a bottom shell 310, with the mounting shell covering the top surface of the bottom shell 310 and the bottom shell 310 being detachably connected to the mounting shell. It should be noted that the card reader 200 and the protective shell 330 are placed on the top surface of the mounting shell; the bottom surface of the mounting shell is connected to the bottom shell 310, and one side of the mounting shell is fixedly connected to the side wall of the self-service kiosk body 100.

[0043] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 10 As shown, the mounting housing includes: a mounting plate 320, two end plates 400, and a side plate 360; a card reader 200 is disposed above the mounting plate 320; the two end plates 400 and the side plate 360 ​​are disposed on the bottom surface of the mounting plate 320, and the planes of the two end plates 400 are parallel to each other; the two end plates 400 are detachably connected to the bottom shell 310. Preferably, the mounting plate 320, the two end plates 400, and the side plate 360 ​​are integrally formed. The shapes of the two end plates 400 respectively match the openings on both sides of the bottom shell 310. When the mounting plate 320 covers the top opening of the bottom shell 310, the two end plates 400 cover the opposite ends of the bottom shell 310, covering the openings on both sides of the bottom shell 310. Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, both end plates 400 have multiple bolt holes 410 for mounting bolts, and the bottom shell 310 has multiple bolt holes 311. The two end plates 400 are detachably connected to the bottom shell 310 by bolts. With this configuration, when the bracket 300 needs to be installed as a whole, the mounting shell is first fixed to the side wall of the self-service query machine body 100, and then the bottom shell 310 is placed under the mounting shell. The two end plates 400 are then fixed to the bottom shell 310 by bolts, thus ensuring a stable installation of the bracket 300 as a whole. When the bracket 300 needs to be disassembled as a whole, the bottom shell 310 is first removed from the two end plates 400, and then the mounting shell is removed from the side wall of the self-service query machine body 100.

[0044] Furthermore, the mounting shell is fixedly connected to the side wall of the self-service kiosk body 100 by two or more first bolts 340. For example... Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, the side plate 360 ​​of the mounting housing has two or more bolt holes 351 for mounting the first bolt 340. The first bolt 340 passes through the side plate 360 ​​and the side wall of the self-service kiosk body 100 in sequence, and the two are locked together by matching nuts. It should be noted that the bolt connection method can effectively ensure the stable installation of the bracket 300 on the self-service kiosk body 100, thereby ensuring the stable placement of the card reader 200 on the bracket 300.

[0045] Preferably, there are six first bolts 340, and all six first bolts 340 are M4 screws. Furthermore, the six first bolts 340 are evenly arranged in two rows and three columns.

[0046] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 6 As shown, the mounting plate 320 of the mounting housing has bolt holes 321 for mounting the second bolt. The second bolt passes through the outer shell of the card reader 200 and the mounting plate 320, and is locked with a nut, thus fixing the mounting plate 320 and the outer shell of the card reader 200 together by bolt connection. With the reinforcement of multiple second bolts, the connection between the card reader 200 and the bracket 300 is ensured to be firm, preventing the card reader 200 from being placed directly on the mounting housing and thus avoiding instability and falling.

[0047] Preferably, there are four second bolts, and all four second bolts are made of M3 plastic screws.

[0048] In one possible implementation, the protective shell 330 has openings on both the side facing the card reader 200 and the side facing the self-service kiosk body 100, allowing wires to pass through it. It should be noted that the protective shell 330 is designed to cover the wires extending from the card reader 200, preventing the wires from being directly exposed to the outside and affecting their lifespan, while also improving the overall aesthetics.

[0049] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 7 As shown, the main body of the protective shell 330 has a cuboid structure, the opening of the protective shell 330 facing the card reader 200 has a rectangular opening structure, and the opening of the protective shell 330 facing the self-service query machine body 100 also has a rectangular opening structure.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 and 7 As shown, the bottom surface of the protective shell 330 is provided with two or more bolt holes 331. The bottom surface of the protective shell 330 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 320 of the mounting shell by two or more third bolts 350, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the protective shell 330.

[0051] Furthermore, there are two bolt holes 331 and two third bolts 350.

[0052] Furthermore, both the mounting shell and the bottom shell 310 are made of SECC galvanized steel sheet.

[0053] A self-service kiosks include: a self-service kiosks body 100 and a multi-functional card reader mounting structure for the self-service kiosks; one side of the mounting housing is fixedly connected to the side wall of the self-service kiosks body 100, and a wire-through hole 110 is provided on the side of the kiosks body connected to the mounting housing. It should be noted that the wire-through hole 110 is provided on the housing on the side of the self-service kiosks body 100 connected to the bracket 300, and the wire between the card reader 200 and the self-service kiosks body 100 passes through the wire-through hole 110 into the interior of the self-service kiosks body 100 so that the wire is electrically connected to the card reader 200 and the self-service kiosks body 100. Figure 8 As shown, the wire hole 110 has a circular hole structure and the position of the wire hole 110 is opposite to the opening of the protective shell 330 facing the self-service query machine body 100, which facilitates the routing of wires.

[0054] Furthermore, the diameter parameter of the wire hole 110 is set to 20mm ± 5mm.

[0055] It should be noted that the self-service inquiry machine 100 adopts the existing Yunchaopai credit report self-service inquiry machine, model JL8352; it is a cabinet-type device that provides credit report self-service inquiry function. This device can print personal credit reports and corporate credit reports.

[0056] The card reader 200 in this application uses a card reader from the prior art, and the models that can be used include the Chuangzi CRT7005 (slot-loading) card reader, the Shenzhen Shenzhou Shield-MEPR30, the Zhongka Xin'an CRH604, the Zhongka Xin'an CRH606, the Dongfang Communication MEPR10 card reader, and the Dongfang Communication MEPR500 series electronic passport reader. Preferably, the card reader 200 uses the Tianchuang Zecheng TC2000L passport reader.

[0057] The card reader 200 is mounted on the self-service inquiry machine body 100 via the bracket 300, and the USB interface of the card reader 200 is connected to the industrial control electromechanical system of the self-service inquiry machine body 100. This application retains the original function of the self-service inquiry machine body 100 for credit inquiry using ID cards, and expands the recognition technology requirements for other documents such as passports, avoiding the limitations of single document inquiry. It can support users of different nationalities, different household registrations, and different regions to conduct credit inquiries at any time, and has a wide range of applications.

[0058] In one possible implementation, two or more wire-binding clips 500 are also included.
