AI Technical Summary
In high-frequency usage scenarios, the card reader of an existing POS machine experiences wear and debris due to friction between the card and the bottom surface of the reader, which affects the smoothness of the swipe and shortens its lifespan. It may also cause card reading to become unresponsive.
The system employs a limiting structure, including a slide, a support body, and side struts. The card contacts the inner bottom surface of the slide, allowing the slide to slide along the card slot body, reducing direct contact between the card and the card slot body. Combined with ball bearings and guide ribs, this ensures stable sliding of the slide and prevents it from falling off.
It extends the lifespan of the card slot, reduces the probability of card sliding blockage and card reading insensitivity, and ensures the stability and sensitivity of card sliding.
