Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of self-service equipment technology, specifically a self-service check-in terminal. Background Technology

[0002] Check-in machines (ticket dispensers) are devices that can effectively alleviate queuing during consumption, business transactions, and medical treatment; they can avoid long queues and improve efficiency; currently, these check-in machines are widely used in supermarkets, hospitals, bank branches, and other scenarios.

[0003] According to Chinese patent CN213634636U, a multi-functional self-service number retrieval device for bank services, the existing check-in machines are currently large in size, and the ergonomic design of the equipment structure and layout is flawed. Furthermore, in terms of check-in and number retrieval, the functional scalability of identity verification is poor if applied to other usage scenarios.

[0004] Chinese patent CN209993044U discloses some terminals or modules required for such self-service in a medical self-service terminal; however, the shortcomings of this prior art are the same as those of the aforementioned multi-functional bank self-service ticket retrieval device, which is bulky and has poor expandability.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a check-in terminal with optimized layout design, strong scalability, rich functionality, and simplified service process. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a self-service check-in terminal with a reasonable layout, strong expandability, and improved service efficiency.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution;

[0008] A self-service check-in terminal includes a cabinet with a vertical structure, comprising a display section for displaying information, an expansion section for accommodating expansion modules, and a device section for installing a control host. The display section is integrally connected to the expansion section and is inclined relative to the device section, with the display section located above the expansion section. The device section is perpendicular to the ground, and its upper edge connects to the lower edge of the expansion section. The display section, expansion section, and device section form a smooth transition.

[0009] The front end of the expansion unit is detachably equipped with an expansion mounting plate, on which a ticket printer and an information reading component are mounted. The rear end of the expansion unit is equipped with a wireless communication module. During operation, the ticket printer, information reading component, and wireless communication module are all connected to the control host. The information reading component is used to verify the identity information of the person taking a ticket and reporting, and the ticket printer is used to print the reporting information.

[0010] Furthermore, the display unit is embedded with a touch screen, and the back of the touch screen is provided with heat dissipation holes; the touch screen is connected to the control host via a signal.

[0011] Furthermore, the expansion mounting plate is bolted to the expansion section, the information reading component is embedded in the expansion mounting plate, and the information reading component is located on the side of the number printer.

[0012] Furthermore, the information reading component includes an ID card recognition module located on the side of the ticket dispenser, and a barcode scanning module and a card insertion module located on the other side of the ID card recognition module.

[0013] Furthermore, the wireless communication module includes a WiFi communication module, a Bluetooth communication module, and an antenna.

[0014] Furthermore, a cable interface is provided at the bottom of the cabinet, which is connected to the control host cable.

[0015] Furthermore, the equipment section where the control host is installed also has an inspection door.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] In practical use, the cabinet is divided into a display section, an expansion section, and an equipment section for easy independent maintenance and repair. The display section and expansion section are integrated and tilted relative to the equipment section, ensuring that the user's viewing angle covers the display section and avoiding up-and-down head movements. The tilted expansion section, located in the middle of the cabinet, is positioned at the user's forearm level, reducing hand travel and improving operational efficiency. The tilt also prevents personnel behind the user from observing important documents or information. The expansion mounting plate houses the ticket printer and information reading components, also tilted to require holding important documents or cards for information reading, avoiding the risk of losing important items when placed horizontally. The display section, expansion section, and equipment section have a smooth transition without any protrusions, reducing the surface area and space required for item placement and further minimizing the risk of items being lost. The detachable expansion mounting plate allows for the installation of corresponding information reading components according to the authentication needs of different usage scenarios, improving the equipment's versatility and expandability. A wireless communication module is added, enabling the terminal to have wireless communication capabilities, adapting to wireless network environments, and improving usage and maintenance efficiency.

[0018] This self-service check-in terminal features a partitioned layout, rationally planning the usage area to improve the user experience while protecting user identity information and reducing the risk of losing important items. It adopts a detachable expansion section design, allowing for the installation of corresponding expansion plates as needed, improving the terminal's adaptability and expandability to various scenarios. Equipped with a ticket printer and information reading components, it enables rapid acquisition of identity information and the issuance of paper check-in tickets, simplifying the check-in process and improving efficiency.
