Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of self-service retail terminals, specifically a self-service retail terminal with anti-tipping function. Background Technology

[0002] Self-service retail terminals are unattended retail devices that enable customers to shop and pay independently through technological means, without human intervention. These terminals integrate multiple technologies, such as electronic payment systems, product recognition systems, and inventory management systems. They can be placed in public places and commercial areas, allowing customers to select goods and complete the payment process themselves. This reduces reliance on cashiers and other human staff, lowers operating costs for merchants, and provides a completely new way of shopping, allowing customers to experience the convenience brought by technology.

[0003] With the development of technology and the improvement of people's living standards, self-service retail terminals have been widely used in public places and commercial places. However, existing self-service retail terminals have some problems in use. For example, they are prone to tipping over when subjected to external impact or placed on uneven ground. This may not only damage the equipment, but also endanger the safety of people around. Therefore, a self-service retail terminal with anti-tipping function is proposed to solve the above problems.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] In the embodiments, by Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a self-service retail terminal with anti-tipping function. The present invention includes a base 1, a self-service retail terminal body 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, four casters 3 symmetrically distributed in pairs at the bottom of the base 1, clearance grooves on both the left and right sides of the interior of the base 1, two support devices 4 symmetrically distributed in pairs in each clearance groove, a fixing plate 5 fixedly connected to the front of the base 1, a buffer device 6 on the front of the fixing plate 5, and a first buffer pad 7 fixedly connected to the outer side of the buffer device 6.

[0028] The individual support device 4 includes a threaded rod 41 that is internally threaded to the base 1. A knob 42 located inside a relief groove is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rod 41, and a support plate 43 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the threaded rod 41.

[0029] In this embodiment, during actual use, when the knob 42 is turned, the threaded rod 41 will rotate, thereby causing the support plate 43 to move under the action of the thread. The downward-moving support plate 43 can fit against the ground and provide support for the base 1. The positions of the four support plates 43 can be adjusted separately to adapt to uneven ground.

[0030] Each of the four support plates 43 has threaded holes inside, and each of the four support plates 43 has a second buffer pad at its bottom.

[0031] In this embodiment, during actual use, the threaded hole can reserve a position for bolt fixing. The connection between the bolt and the support plate 43 can make the base 1 more stable. The second buffer pad provides friction between it and the ground. When the support plate 43 is not fixed by bolts, the rubber second buffer pad is not easy to make the base 1 move.

[0032] The buffer device 6 includes a plurality of springs 61 fixedly connected to the front side of the fixed plate 5. The front side of each of the springs 61 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 62 fixedly connected to the rear side of the first buffer pad 7. A damper 63 fixedly connected to the front side of the fixed plate 5 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 62.

[0033] In this embodiment, during actual use, the front of the self-service retail terminal generally faces the outside. When the front of the self-service retail terminal is impacted, the spring 61 and the first rubber buffer pad 7 will provide cushioning, and the damper 63 will prevent excessive offset and shaking to maintain the stability of the connecting plate 62.

[0034] Reflective stickers 8 are provided on the left and right sides of the base 1 and on the outer side of the fixing plate 5.

[0035] In this embodiment, during actual use, the reflective sticker 8 adds a warning effect to the self-service retail terminal, enhances its display effect at night, and prevents it from being hit.

[0036] The base 1 has a protective frame 9 fixedly connected to its bottom, and a counterweight 10 is installed inside the protective frame 9.

[0037] In this embodiment, during actual use, the protective frame 9 can hold the counterweight 10. The counterweight 10 can be made of high-density material to increase the weight of the base 1 and improve the stability of the equipment. The counterweight 10 can be put in and taken out of the protective frame 9 and fixed by the sealing plate on the rear side.

[0038] Working principle:

[0039] Self-service retail terminals are generally installed indoors or outdoors in shopping malls, where the ground is usually relatively flat. The main body 2 of the self-service retail terminal can be moved and transported by casters 3 under the base 1. The casters 3 are self-locking casters, which can move or stop the position. Whether the indoor or outdoor ground of the shopping mall is flat or uneven, the support plate 43 can be lowered to the ground and fixed by turning the knob 42. When the ground can be drilled, the base 1 can be stably fixed by passing expansion screws or bolts through the bolt holes of the support plate 43 to enhance its stability. For some grounds where drilling is not possible, the protective frame 9 can be opened, and the weight of the counterweight 10 can be added to make the base 1 under the self-service retail terminal close to the ground, thereby increasing the weight of the base 1 and the whole, improving the stability of the equipment, and keeping it stable and not easy to move under the action of the rubber pad.
