Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a privacy device, and more particularly to a privacy device for a bank input device. Background Technology

[0002] The privacy screen on the numeric keypad of a bank ATM covers the keypad and has an opening in front for a hand to reach in. It protects the password entered by the user and prevents others from seeing the password, thereby improving the user's security when depositing or withdrawing money.

[0003] Utility model announcement CN221073910U discloses a privacy screen for self-service teller machines, relating to the field of bank self-service teller machine technology. It includes a privacy screen body with a working cavity inside. Side baffles are provided on both sides of the privacy screen body. A winding groove is provided inside the privacy screen body, and a winding roller is rotatably connected inside the winding groove. A torsion spring is sleeved inside the winding groove and outside the winding roller. A shielding cloth is wound around the outside of the winding roller. The bottom end of the shielding cloth extends into the working cavity and is provided with a sliding post. With the sliding post, winding roller, and shielding cloth, the operator stands inside the working cavity, holds the handle, and pulls the sliding post downwards. The shielding cloth prevents people behind from peeping at the operator's password and related operations.

[0004] Regarding the above-mentioned content, the inventor believes that the following technical defects exist: When the user is too tall or too short, the privacy screen on the device will block the user's view. The user needs to adjust their standing height to see the numbers on the ATM buttons clearly. This operation will waste a lot of withdrawal time, and the user is prone to entering the wrong bank card password when adjusting their standing height. In severe cases, the ATM may swallow the card due to too many attempts.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new type of anti-peeping cover for bank ATMs to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this application is to propose a privacy device for bank input devices that prevents people behind you from watching you enter numbers by limiting the angle of the numeric keypad projection, so that you do not need to turn to the side or bend over to press the key.

[0007] This application is implemented as follows: a privacy device for a bank input device includes a hollow housing that can cover the keyboard, an opening at the top of the housing, a transparent screen embedded in the opening, a privacy film attached to the bottom surface of the transparent screen, and an opening at the front of the housing for a hand to be inserted; a roller with a shutter is provided on the rear side of the upper end of the housing.

[0008] Symmetrical supports are provided on the rear side of the upper end face of the shell, and a rotating shaft is provided between the supports. A torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft, and a drum is sleeved on the torsion spring. The two ends of the drum are connected to the two ends of the torsion spring.

[0009] A roller shutter is wound up on a drum, and a handle is installed at the outer end of the roller shutter.

[0010] A cover plate is hinged to the upper end of the opening.

[0011] The keyboard has number keys, and the transparent screen is located directly above the number keys.

[0012] By implementing the above technical solution, this application uses a privacy film and roller blind to block the top of the transparent screen, a cover plate to partially block the opening for the hand to enter, and the user's body to completely block the view, leaving only the top angle visible to the user while blocking all other angles, thus ensuring user privacy. This application has a simple structure, strong applicability, and high privacy protection effect. Attached Figure Description

[0013] The specific structure of this application is given by the following figures and embodiments:

[0014] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this application;

[0015] Figure 2 This is a structural schematic diagram of the present application with a cover plate.

[0016] Legend: 1. Housing, 2. Roller, 3. Roller blind, 4. Handle, 5. Transparent screen, 6. Privacy film, 7. Opening, 8. Keyboard, 9. Cover plate. Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0018] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0019] Example: Figure 1, 2 As shown, a privacy device for a bank input device includes a hollow housing 1 that can cover the keyboard 8. The housing 1 has an opening at the top, and a transparent screen 5 is embedded in the opening. A privacy film 6 is attached to the bottom surface of the transparent screen 5. An opening 7 for a hand to be inserted is provided at the front end of the housing 1. A roller 2 with a rolled-up curtain is provided on the rear side of the upper end of the housing 1.

[0020] Furthermore, symmetrical supports are provided on the rear side of the upper end face of the housing 1, and a rotating shaft is provided between the supports. A torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft, and a drum 2 is sleeved on the torsion spring. The two ends of the drum 2 are connected to the two ends of the torsion spring.

[0021] Furthermore, a roller blind 2 is wound up on the roller 2, and a handle 4 is installed at the outer end of the roller blind 2.

[0022] Pulling the roller shutter 2 towards the upper front of the housing 1 using handle 4 allows the transparent screen 5 to be obscured. During this process, the roller drum 2 rolls up as the shutter 2 is pulled out, and the torsion spring rotates accordingly, becoming tensioned. Releasing handle 4 causes the torsion spring to relax, driving the roller drum 2 to rotate in the opposite direction, thus retracting the shutter 2 onto the roller drum 2.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, a cover plate 9 is hinged to the upper end of the opening 7, and the cover plate 9 can cover the area of ​​the opening 7 above the hand that is exposed.

[0024] Furthermore, number keys are arranged on the keyboard 8, and the transparent screen 5 is located directly above the number keys.

[0025] This application uses a privacy film to confine the projection of the numeric keys on the transparent screen 5 within a 90° range, thus preventing people behind from peeking at the numeric keys on the keyboard 8 through the transparent screen 5. A roller shutter 3 further obscures part of the transparent screen 5, leaving only the portion visible to the user, further enhancing security. A cover plate 9 then partially conceals the opening, further improving security.

[0026] This application uses a privacy film 6 and a roller shutter 3 to block the view from above, a cover plate 9 to partially block the opening side, and the user's body to completely block the view. Only the angle visible to the user from above is retained, while all other angles are blocked, thus ensuring the user's privacy and providing a high level of privacy protection.

[0027] Compared to existing technologies, this application firstly limits the viewing position of the keyboard 8 to the top of the housing 1, rather than the side or rear, thus reducing the viewing area of ​​the keyboard; secondly, the privacy film 6 limits the angle of viewing the keyboard 8 through the transparent screen 5 to ±45° of the vertical line, further reducing the viewing area of ​​the keyboard; thirdly, the roller shutter 3 blocks the front transparent screen 5, avoiding reflection and further reducing the viewing area of ​​the keyboard; fourthly, the cover plate 9 blocks the opening 7 where the hands are exposed; and finally, the user's own body is used to block the view, thereby reducing the possibility of being spied on.

[0028] The above technical features constitute the embodiments of this application, which have strong adaptability and implementation effect. Non-essential technical features can be added or removed according to actual needs to meet the needs of different situations.
