The positioning groove 203 is opened at both ends of the upper guide ring 202. The positioning block 206 is engaged inside the positioning groove 203.
[0031] The check-in unit housing 100 is suspended outside the guide crossbar 200, with its upper guide ring 202 corresponding to the lower guide ring. When both are in place, the elastic force generated by the spring 303 pushes the positioning block 206 into the positioning groove 203, ensuring the stability of the check-in unit housing 100 during initial installation. The upper guide ring 202 and the lower guide ring can move freely outside the guide crossbar 200, allowing the hotel to adjust according to actual needs such as guest flow distribution at different times, special event arrangements, or changes in venue layout.
[0032] The guide component also includes a screw hole 207, a screw 209, and a top plate 210. The screw hole 207 is formed inside the positioning groove 203 and the positioning block 206. The screw 209 is threaded into the screw hole 207. The top plate 210 is fixed to the top of the screw 209.
[0033] By inserting a special groove 211 into a specific fixing structure and screwing the screw 209 into the screw hole 207, the housing 100 and the guide crossbar 200 are further tightly fixed.
[0034] The top of the positioning block 206 is provided with an inner groove 208, the top plate 210 is located on the inner surface of the inner groove 208, and the top of the top plate 210 is provided with a special groove 211.
[0035] After the screws are in place, the top plate 210 will be located inside the inner groove 208.
[0036] It also includes an elastic component, which includes a side plate 300 and a hole 301. The side plate 300 is fixed to both sides of the outer surface of the guide crossbar 200, and the hole 301 is opened inside the side plate 300.
[0037] The side panels 300 on both sides can be installed on the hotel wall to facilitate the fixing of the guide crossbar 200.
[0038] Support rods 302 are fixedly connected to both ends of the lower guide ring. The support rods 302 pass through and move inside the clamping frame 205. A spring 303 is wound around the outer surface of the support rods 302, and a limit plate 304 is fixed to the outer end.
[0039] The spring 303 generates elastic force to extend the position of the clamping frame 205.
[0040] Working principle: First, the housing 100 is suspended outside the guide crossbar 200, with its upper guide ring 202 corresponding to the lower guide ring. Once in place, the elastic force generated by the spring 303 pushes the positioning block 206 into the positioning groove 203, ensuring the stability of the housing 100 during initial installation. Simultaneously, a special groove 211 is inserted through a specific fixing structure. The edge of the special groove 211 is an irregular polygon, which cannot be operated with ordinary tools. Only a specially designed key tool that perfectly matches the shape of this special head can be used to operate it in the special groove 211. Inside the unit 1, this special design effectively prevents unauthorized personnel from disassembling it using conventional tools. By screwing the screw 209 into the screw hole 207, the occupancy unit housing 100 and the guide crossbar 200 are further tightly fixed. The upper guide ring 202 and the lower guide ring can move freely outside the guide crossbar 200. The hotel can easily move the occupancy unit housing 100 to the most needed position according to the actual needs such as the distribution of guest flow at different times, special event arrangements, or changes in the venue layout. This ensures that the equipment is installed stably while taking into account the flexibility of position adjustment and anti-theft performance.
[0041] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, further includes:
[0042] The support component includes a base plate 401, rubber wheels 403, a fixed plate 404, and a moving groove 405. The fixed plate 404 is fixed to the lower part between two side plates 300, the moving groove 405 is opened on the top of the fixed plate 404, the base plate 401 is installed on the lower part of both sides of the outer surface of the housing 100, and the rubber wheels 403 are set at the bottom of the base plate 401 and are movably connected inside the moving groove 405.
[0043] After the housing 100 is installed, the rubber wheel 403 can be adjusted into the moving groove 405. When the housing 100 moves, the rubber wheel 403 moves simultaneously inside the moving groove 405, providing support for the housing 100.
[0044] The support component also includes a rotating shaft 400 and a rotating rod 402. The rotating rod 402 is disposed at the bottom of the horizontal plate 201, and the rotating shaft 400 is rotatably connected between the rotating rod 402 and the rubber wheel 403.
[0045] The rubber wheel 403 at the bottom can be rotated and adjusted via the rotating shaft 400.
[0046] Working principle: The self-service check-in machine is equipped with rubber wheels 403 at the bottom. These rubber wheels 403 are connected to the equipment via a rotating shaft 400, allowing for flexible rotation and adjustment. When installing the machine casing 100, the operator can adjust the angle of the rubber wheels 403 using the rotating shaft 400 according to actual needs. After the machine casing 100 is installed, the rubber wheels 403 can be adjusted into the moving groove 405, ensuring that the equipment is not obstructed during installation and guaranteeing the flatness of the bottom of the equipment after installation, thus enhancing the overall stability of the equipment. The bottom plates 401 at both ends form a triangular shape. Triangles have strong stability characteristics. This design allows the self-service check-in machine to maintain good balance during movement. When the machine casing 100 needs to be moved, the rubber wheels 403 will roll synchronously inside the moving groove 405 as the equipment moves. The rolling of the rubber wheels 403 in the moving groove 405 is not a simple displacement, but rather provides stable support for the machine casing 100 while ensuring the smoothness of its movement.
