Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of POS machine technology, specifically to a POS machine card swiping structure. Background Technology

[0002] A POS machine, or Point of Sale Terminal, is a key piece of equipment in retail establishments such as shopping malls and supermarkets used to complete payment for purchases. It is not only the final step in the customer's checkout process but also a core tool for merchants to manage sales, inventory, and finances. Traditional POS systems typically include scanners, electronic cash registers, and barcode readers, which can automate operations such as product scanning, price calculation, and payment processing, greatly improving transaction efficiency and accuracy.

[0003] With the rapid development of technology, the functions and technologies of POS machines are constantly being upgraded. Modern POS machines not only support traditional magnetic stripe and chip card payments, but also integrate advanced technologies such as QR code payments, NFC near-field communication, and facial recognition to meet diverse payment needs. In addition, POS machines are increasingly combining with cloud technology and big data analytics to help merchants achieve more accurate inventory management, sales forecasting, and customer relationship management.

[0004] However, despite continuous advancements in POS machine technology, existing devices still suffer from some technical shortcomings. For example, the card reader of a POS machine is prone to dust accumulation, especially in high-frequency use environments. Dust ingress can cause the magnetic head to malfunction, affecting the accuracy and stability of card reading and reducing transaction efficiency. To address this, we propose a new POS machine card reader structure. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a POS machine card swiping structure that can block the card swiping area when not in use to prevent dust from entering, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a POS machine card swiping structure, comprising a POS machine body and a sealing component;

[0007] POS machine body: A card swiping baffle is fixed on the front side. A squeezing component, a connecting component and a card receiving component are installed on the front side of the POS machine body. A pressing component is installed on the upper side of the squeezing component. The squeezing component is in contact with the connecting component. The connecting component is connected to the card receiving component.

[0008] Sealing assembly: includes a U-shaped groove, a U-shaped plate, a U-shaped blocking frame, a connecting strip, and a first spring. The front side of the POS machine body is provided with a U-shaped groove. A U-shaped plate is fixed to the front end of the U-shaped groove. A U-shaped opening is opened on the front side of the U-shaped plate. A U-shaped blocking frame is slidably connected inside the U-shaped opening. The U-shaped blocking frame is in contact with the rear side of the card swiping baffle. A connecting strip is fixed to the rear side of the U-shaped blocking frame. A uniformly distributed first spring is fixed to the rear side of the connecting strip. All the first springs are fixed inside the U-shaped groove. The sealing assembly seals the card swiping area of ​​the POS machine body.

[0009] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​assembly includes snap holes, Z-shaped mounting grooves, L-shaped sliders, snap posts, and a second spring. Two corresponding snap holes are provided on the left and right sides of the U-shaped blocking frame. Two corresponding Z-shaped mounting grooves are provided on the left and right sides inside the U-shaped groove. An L-shaped slider is slidably connected inside the Z-shaped mounting groove. A snap post is fixed to one side of the L-shaped slider, and a second spring is fixed to the other side of the L-shaped slider. The end of the second spring away from the L-shaped slider is fixed inside the Z-shaped mounting groove. The snap post cooperates with the snap holes, thus fixing the U-shaped blocking frame by setting up the snap-fit ​​assembly.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting component includes a connecting groove and an inclined extrusion block. Two corresponding connecting grooves are opened on the front side of the POS machine body. An inclined extrusion block is provided on the lower side inside the connecting groove. The inclined extrusion block is fixed on the side of the adjacent L-shaped slider. The L-shaped slider is moved by setting the connecting component.

[0011] Furthermore, the extrusion assembly includes a fixed plate, a sliding rod, a trapezoidal extrusion block, and a third spring. The upper end of the connecting groove is fixed with the fixed plate, and a sliding hole is opened on the upper side of the fixed plate. The sliding rod is slidably connected inside the sliding hole, and the lower end of the sliding rod is fixed with the trapezoidal extrusion block. The trapezoidal extrusion block is in contact with the side of the inclined extrusion block. The third spring is sleeved on the circumferential surface of the sliding rod. The lower end of the third spring is fixed to the upper side of the trapezoidal extrusion block, and the upper end of the third spring is fixed to the lower side of the fixed plate. The extrusion assembly drives the inclined extrusion block to move.

[0012] Furthermore, the pressing assembly includes a U-shaped pressing frame and a rubber plate. The upper ends of the two slide rods are fixed with the U-shaped pressing frame, and the sides of the U-shaped pressing frame are fixed with the rubber plate. By setting the pressing assembly, it is convenient for users to press the two slide rods to move them.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This POS machine card swiping structure has the following advantages:

[0014] 1. By setting a sealing component, users can insert cards between the U-shaped blocking frame and the card swiping baffle. In this case, the card will squeeze the U-shaped blocking frame and move into the U-shaped groove. After entering, the two L-shaped sliders connected to the two card posts will be squeezed by the two second springs and moved, thereby moving the two card posts into the two card holes. This will fix the connecting strip, and after fixing, the user can swipe the card very conveniently.

[0015] 2. By setting up a pressing component, when not in use, pressing the U-shaped pressing frame will cause the two trapezoidal extrusion blocks to move downwards and squeeze the two oblique extrusion blocks. After squeezing, the two trapezoidal extrusion blocks will move, driving the two L-shaped sliders to move, thereby moving the two card posts away from the two card holes. At this time, the U-shaped blocking frame will move under the action of the evenly distributed first spring and fit against the side of the card swiping baffle. After fitting, the card swiping area can be sealed, which can prevent dust from entering and thus prevent the magnetic head of the POS machine from malfunctioning. Attached Figure Description
