[0034] Example 1

[0035] An externally mounted flip-up display screen 104 includes an externally mounted screen assembly 1 and a support member 2, wherein the support member 2 is mounted on a vending machine; the externally mounted screen assembly 1 is mounted on the support member 2.

[0036] The external screen assembly 1 can rotate around the support member 2.

[0037] In this embodiment, the external screen assembly 1 includes a housing 103, a display screen 104, and electronic components 105. The external screen assembly 1 can rotate around the support member 2. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the support member 2 is installed on the door 100 of the vending machine. When it is necessary to open the external screen assembly 1 for debugging, rotate the external screen assembly 1 so that the external screen assembly 1 and the vending machine form a certain angle. At this time, it is convenient for the staff to debug the electronic components 105 inside the external screen assembly 1.

[0038] Furthermore, the support member 2 is provided with a mounting hole 201, and the external screen assembly 1 is provided with a hook 101. The hook 101 is hung on the mounting hole 201 and rotates around the mounting hole 201.

[0039] Furthermore, when the hook 101 is attached to the mounting hole 201, the hook 101 has an adjustable gap, making the distance between the external screen assembly 1 and the vending machine adjustable; wherein, when the external screen assembly 1 needs to be installed on the vending machine, the external screen assembly 1 is adjusted to fit against the vending machine; when the external screen assembly 1 needs to be flipped, the external screen assembly 1 is adjusted to move away from the vending machine.

[0040] In this embodiment, when the external screen assembly 1 needs to be installed on the vending machine, the external screen assembly 1 is adjusted to fit against the vending machine, thereby protecting the electronic components 105 inside the external screen assembly 1; when the external screen assembly 1 needs to be flipped, the external screen assembly 1 is adjusted to move away from the vending machine, thus avoiding interference between the external screen assembly 1 and the vending machine during the flipping process.

[0041] Furthermore, the external screen assembly 1 and the support member 2 are fastened together by a first locking member.

[0042] Furthermore, the external screen assembly 1 has a waist hole 102, and the support member 2 has a round hole 202. The first locking member is fastened to the waist hole 102 through the round hole 202. When the first locking member is loosened, the distance between the external screen assembly 1 and the vending machine can be adjusted.

[0043] Furthermore, the first locking component is a self-tapping screw, which passes through the waist hole 102 and self-taps into the round hole 202. The external screen assembly 1 includes a housing 103, a display screen 104, and electronic components 105; the housing 103 includes an upper sealing edge 1031; the waist hole 102 is formed in the upper sealing edge 1031.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the external screen assembly 1 needs to be installed on the vending machine, the self-tapping screws fasten the external screen assembly 1 to the support 2 to prevent the external screen assembly 1 from shifting. When the external screen assembly 1 needs to be flipped, the self-tapping screws can be loosened to flip the external screen assembly 1. It should be noted that since the upper sealing edge 1031 has a waist hole 102, the self-tapping screw does not need to be fully unscrewed. It is only necessary to loosen the self-tapping screw. During the movement of the external screen assembly 1, the design of the waist hole 102 can prevent the self-tapping screw from interfering with the upper sealing edge 1031.

[0045] Furthermore, the external screen assembly 1 includes a housing 103, a display screen 104, and electronic components 105;

[0046] The display screen 104 is mounted on the housing 103;

[0047] A receiving cavity is formed between the housing 103 and the vending machine;

[0048] The electronic component 105 is mounted on the housing 103 and is located within the receiving cavity.

[0049] Furthermore, the housing 103 includes an upper sealing edge 1031, and the hook 101 is disposed on the upper sealing edge 1031, which is located above the support member 2.

[0050] Furthermore, the housing 103 also includes a lower sealing edge 1032, and the vending machine is provided with a baffle 3. The lower sealing edge 1032 is located below the baffle 3, and the baffle 3 and the lower sealing edge 1032 are fastened together by a second locking member.

[0051] In this embodiment, the lower sealing edge 1032 is fastened by the second locking member, so that the external screen assembly 1 can be more securely installed on the vending machine.
