Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of horizontal POS machine technology, and more specifically, to a horizontal POS machine based on facial recognition technology. Background Technology

[0002] A horizontal POS machine with facial recognition is a payment device that incorporates facial recognition technology. Primarily used in cafeterias and restaurants, it employs advanced facial recognition algorithms to accurately and quickly identify users' facial features, thus completing the payment process. This technology significantly improves the convenience and efficiency of payments, especially during peak dining hours, effectively alleviating queuing pressure. In addition to facial recognition payments, the horizontal POS machine also supports various other payment methods such as card swiping and QR code scanning to meet the needs of different users.

[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," "sleeved / connected," "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a horizontal POS machine based on facial recognition technology, including a POS machine body 1, a base 2 on the lower side of the POS machine body 1, an mounting cylinder 3 fixedly mounted on the upper side of the base 2, a movable column 4 movably inserted into the inner side of the mounting cylinder 3, the movable column 4 movably passing through the mounting cylinder 3 and extending to the outer side, and the outer end of the movable column 4 located on the outer side of the mounting cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the POS machine body 1, and a U-shaped block 7 is movably mounted on the outer side of the mounting cylinder 3, with sliders 5 fixedly mounted on both sides of the U-shaped block 7, both sets of sliders 5 movably passing through the mounting cylinder 3 and extending to the inner side, and the outer side of the sliders 5 located on the inner side of the mounting cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the movable column 4, and grooves 6 for engaging the sliders 5 are opened through both sides of the mounting cylinder 3, the outer side of the U-shaped block 7... A positioning rod 8 is provided on the side. One end of the positioning rod 8 is fixedly mounted with a movable block 9, and the other end of the positioning rod 8 movably passes through the U-shaped block 7 and extends to the inside. Multiple sets of positioning holes 10 are opened on the outside of the mounting cylinder 3 to connect with the positioning rod 8. A spring 11 is sleeved on the outside of the positioning rod 8. One end of the spring 11 is connected to the movable block 9, and the other end of the spring 11 is connected to the U-shaped block 7. The spring 11 does not deform in the initial state. When the movable block 9 is pulled to move the positioning rod 8, the spring 11 will be stretched, causing the spring 11 to deform. After the height of the consumer machine body 1 is adjusted, the elastic potential energy of the spring 11 is released, which can drive the positioning rod 8 to be quickly inserted into the positioning hole 10, improving the convenience and stability of the positioning rod 8 being inserted into the positioning hole 10.

[0024] Specifically, two sets of mounting frames 16 are fixedly installed on the outside of the consumer machine body 1. A winding roller 17 is rotatably installed on the inside of each of the two sets of mounting frames 16. A baffle 18 is wound up on the outside of the winding roller 17. The baffle 18 moves through the mounting frame 16 and extends to the outside. A mounting block 19 is fixedly installed on the outside of the baffle 18 located on the outside of the mounting frame 16. By setting the baffle 18, the outside of the consumer machine body 1 can be covered when the consumer machine body 1 is idle, which facilitates the protection of the consumer machine body.

[0025] Furthermore, a fixed frame 12 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the consumer machine body 1. A lead screw 13 is rotatably installed inside the fixed frame 12. A threaded block 14 is threadedly fitted on the outer side of the lead screw 13. Connecting blocks 15 are fixedly installed on both sides of the threaded block 14. Both sets of connecting blocks 15 movably pass through the fixed frame 12 and extend to both sides. The outer part of the connecting block 15 located outside the fixed frame 12 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 19. Through slots for docking connecting blocks 15 are opened on both sides of the fixed frame 12. The lead screw 13 movably passes through the fixed frame 12 and extends to the outside. A knob 21 is fixedly installed on the outer end of the lead screw 13 located outside the fixed frame 12. By rotating the knob 21, the two sets of baffles 18 can be easily moved, improving the ease of use.

[0026] It is worth noting that coil springs 20 are sleeved on both sides of the cover 18 on the outer side of the take-up roller 17. One end of each coil spring 20 is connected to the take-up roller 17, and the other end of the coil spring 20 is connected to the mounting frame 16. The coil spring 20 does not deform in the initial state. When the cover 18 is pulled outward to the mounting frame 16, it can drive the take-up roller 17 to rotate. At this time, the take-up roller 17 stretches the coil spring 20, causing the coil spring 20 to deform. When the consumer machine is used, the elastic potential energy of the coil spring 20 is released, which can drive the take-up roller 17 to automatically rewind the cover 18, improving the convenience of storing the cover 18.

[0027] It is worth noting that a limiting rod 22 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the slide 6. The limiting rod 22 moves through the slider 5 and can limit the slider 5, so that the slider 5 maintains a vertical up-and-down movement trajectory, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the consumer machine body 1.

[0028] In addition, a handle 23 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the U-shaped block 7, which is located on the outer side of the movable block 9. The handle 23 allows for easy one-handed movement of the movable block 9 and the U-shaped block 7, further improving the ease of adjusting the height of the consumer machine body 1.

[0029] It must be said that a sponge pad 24 is provided on the inside of the cover 18. When the cover 18 is used to cover the outside of the consumer machine body 1, the sponge pad 24 comes into contact with the consumer machine body 1, thereby improving the protection effect of the consumer machine body 1.

[0030] Working principle: First, place the entire unit on a table or desk. When the height of the main body 1 needs to be adjusted, push the movable block 9 to move the positioning rod 8 out of the positioning hole 10. Then, push the U-shaped block 7 up or down using the handle 23. As the U-shaped block 7 moves, it moves the movable column 4 and the main body 1 of the main body until the main body 1 is moved to the appropriate height. Then, move the movable block 9 back up. At this time, the spring 11's return force can drive the positioning rod 8 to re-insert into the positioning hole 10. This allows the height of the consumer device body 1 to be fixed. When the consumer device body 1 is idle, the screw 13 is rotated by turning the knob 21. At this time, the threaded block 14 sleeved on the outside of the screw 13 moves along the screw 13. When the threaded block 14 moves, it drives the connecting blocks 15 and the mounting blocks 19 on both sides to move. When the mounting blocks 19 move, they pull the baffle 18 until the baffle 18 is pulled to a suitable length. The baffle 18 can cover the screen on the consumer device body 1 to prevent the screen from sticking to dust or being damaged by other external forces.
