Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insurance sales machine technology, and more specifically, to a self-service insurance sales machine. Background Technology
[0002] Insurance self-service sales kiosks are intelligent self-service terminals that provide users with insurance-related self-service. Users can inquire about product information, including coverage and premiums, through touchscreens or voice interaction. Some kiosks can recommend products based on personal information. Eligible individuals can independently fill in their application information, confirm terms, and complete the application process. They can also pay premiums and obtain receipts via bank cards, mobile payments, etc. Policy inquiries are also supported, allowing users to view policy details and status. Some policies allow for modification of information or cancellation, and relevant documents can be printed after the process.
[0003] An investigation revealed that Chinese utility model patent CN214752050U discloses a self-service insurance sales machine, comprising an automatic sales machine body, a support plate, and a placement slot. The support plate is located below the automatic sales machine body, and the placement slot is formed on the upper surface of the support plate. Anti-collision components are provided on the left and right sides of the automatic sales machine body, and a lifting component is installed inside the placement slot. By incorporating the lifting component inside the placement slot, the height of the automatic sales machine body can be adjusted by a motor driving a first connecting arm and a second connecting arm, making it convenient for people of different heights to use and improving the practicality of the device. However, self-service sales machines are often placed in places with high traffic and multiple entrances and exits, and the chaotic environment makes the self-service sales machine susceptible to collisions during operation. The lifting component further increases the height of the machine's center of gravity, increasing the risk of tipping over upon impact and posing a safety hazard to passersby.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a self-service insurance sales machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a self-service insurance sales machine, which has the advantages of being more stable and less likely to tip over when impacted.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a self-service insurance sales machine, comprising a main body, an operating platform disposed on the top of the main body, and a support mechanism disposed at the bottom of the main body for bearing load. The support mechanism includes a support box fixedly installed at the bottom of the main body, rotating wheels fixedly disposed at the four corners of the bottom of the support box, a threaded rod A rotatably connected inside the support box, a threaded rod B rotatably connected inside the support box on the side corresponding to the threaded rod A, a support kit fitted on the threaded rod A and the threaded rod B, a support tube transversely penetrating the support kit, a support rod inserted into the support tube, and several counterweights fitted on the support rod. The support rod is rotatably connected to the support tube.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the support kit is located between the threaded rod A and the threaded rod B.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the support box is provided with an opening door corresponding to the end position of the support rod.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a collar is provided between the counterweight and the support rod. The collar is fixedly connected to the counterweight and threadedly connected to the support rod. The threads of the support rod on both sides of the support assembly are opposite. A guide rod is fixedly inserted into the upper part of the support assembly and one side of the support rod. The guide rod passes through all the counterweights in sequence and is movably connected to the counterweights.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the number of counterweights on both sides of the support assembly on the support rod is equal.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the support box has an opening at its bottom, and the threaded rods A and B are threadedly connected to the support assembly. A drive mechanism is provided inside the support box. The drive mechanism includes a drive motor fixed inside the support box, a drive gear fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor, a rotating gear A fixedly connected to the threaded rod A, and a rotating gear B fixedly connected to the threaded rod B. The drive gear meshes with the rotating gear A, and the rotating gear A meshes with the rotating gear B. The threads on the threaded rods A and B have opposite directions.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a force-bearing component is provided at the bottom of the threaded rod A and the threaded rod B inside the support box. The force-bearing component moves longitudinally inside the support box. Several elastic elements are provided at both ends of the force-bearing component. An arc-shaped notch that matches the counterweight is opened at the top of the force-bearing component. Support columns are fixedly connected at the four corners of the bottom of the force-bearing component. The two ends of the elastic elements are fixedly connected to the force-bearing component and the bottom surface of the support box.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. This utility model moves the two ends of the support rod to the position facing the opening door, and puts the collars on the counterweight blocks on the support rod from both ends. The counterweight blocks are put on the guide rod. When the support rod is manually rotated, the guide rod can ensure that the counterweight blocks themselves do not rotate. The support rod drives the counterweight blocks to move towards the support kit. The counterweight blocks are placed at the same time at both ends, which can ensure that the counterweight blocks at both ends of the support rod are symmetrical and the force is balanced. After putting in enough counterweight blocks, the weight of the self-service vending machine increases and the center of gravity is lower, making it less likely to tip over and cause danger to passers-by after being impacted.
[0015] 2. This utility model moves the counterweight down until it contacts the force-bearing component. The arc-shaped notch on the force-bearing component increases the contact area with the counterweight, reduces pressure, and prevents damage to the force-bearing component. The counterweight moves the force-bearing component down after compressing the elastic element until the support column at the bottom of the force-bearing component contacts the ground. At this time, the support column becomes a gravity support component, which can fix the position of the self-service vending machine. Conversely, the drive motor moves the counterweight away from the force-bearing component, and the support column is lifted off the ground by the elastic element and is no longer under force. At this time, the position of the self-service vending machine can be moved and changed by the action of the rotating wheel, which is convenient for placement.
[0016] 3. This utility model reduces the weight of the self-service vending machine by opening the door, rotating the drive motor to move the support rod to the door position, and rotating the support rod to remove the counterweight, making it easier to move the self-service vending machine.

[0023] 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.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a self-service insurance sales machine, including a machine body 1, an operating platform 2 set on the top of the machine body 1, and a support mechanism 3 set at the bottom of the machine body 1 for bearing. The support mechanism 3 includes a support box 31 fixedly installed at the bottom of the machine body 1, rotating wheels 311 fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the support box 31, a threaded rod A32 rotatably connected inside the support box 31, and a threaded rod B33 rotatably connected inside the support box 31 to one side of the threaded rod A32. The self-service vending machine is equipped with a support kit 34 mounted on threaded rods A32 and B33, a support tube 35 extending laterally through the support kit 34, a support rod 36 inserted into the support tube 35, and several counterweights 37 mounted on the support rod 36. The support rod 36 is rotatably connected to the support tube 35. The rotating wheel 311 allows the self-service vending machine to be moved more easily. After placing enough counterweights 37 on the support rod 36, the weight of the self-service vending machine increases and the center of gravity is lowered, making it less likely to tip over and cause danger to passersby after being impacted.
[0025] Furthermore, the support kit 34 is located between the threaded rod A32 and the threaded rod B33, so that the force between the threaded rod A32 and the threaded rod B33 is balanced.
[0026] Furthermore, an opening door 312 is provided on the support box 31 at the end position corresponding to the support rod 36, which facilitates the insertion and removal of the counterweight 37.
[0027] It is worth noting that a collar 38 is provided between the counterweight 37 and the support rod 36. The collar 38 is fixedly connected to the counterweight 37 and threadedly connected to the support rod 36. The threads of the support rod 36 on both sides of the support kit 34 are opposite. A guide rod 39 is fixedly inserted into the upper part of the support kit 34 and one side of the support rod 36. The guide rod 39 passes through all the counterweights 37 in sequence and is movably connected to the counterweights 37. The collars 38 on the counterweights 37 are fitted onto the support rod 36 from both ends, and the counterweights 37 are fitted onto the guide rods 39. When the support rod 36 is manually rotated, the guide rods 39 can ensure that the counterweights 37 do not rotate themselves. The support rod 36 drives the counterweights 37 to move toward the support kit 34.
[0028] The number of counterweights 37 on both sides of the support rod 36 is equal, which can ensure that the force on both ends of the support rod 36 is balanced, which is beneficial to the overall stability of the system.
[0029] It should be noted that the support box 31 has an opening 313 at the bottom. Threaded rods A32 and B33 are threadedly connected to the support assembly 34. A drive mechanism 4 is installed inside the support box 31. The drive mechanism 4 includes a drive motor 41 fixed inside the support box 31, a drive gear 42 fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 41, a rotating gear A43 fixedly connected to the threaded rod A32, and a rotating gear B44 fixedly connected to the threaded rod B33. The drive gear 42 meshes with the rotating gear A43, and the rotating gear A43 meshes with the rotating gear B44. The threads on A32 and threaded rod B33 are in opposite directions. The drive motor 41 drives the drive gear 42 to rotate, and the drive gear 42 drives the rotating gear A43 that meshes with it to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating gear B44 that meshes with it to rotate. The rotating gears A43 and B44 drive the threaded rods A32 and B33 to rotate in opposite directions, respectively. Since the threads on the threaded rods A32 and B33 are opposite, they can jointly drive the support kit 34 to move longitudinally. The support kit 34 drives the support tube 35 to move, which in turn drives the support rod 36 on the support tube 35 to move longitudinally.
[0030] Furthermore, a force-bearing component 5 is provided at the bottom of the threaded rods A32 and B33 inside the support box 31. The force-bearing component 5 moves longitudinally within the support box 31. Several elastic elements 51 are provided at both ends of the force-bearing component 5. An arc-shaped notch 52 that matches the counterweight 37 is opened at the top of the force-bearing component 5. Support columns 53 are fixedly connected to the four corners at the bottom of the force-bearing component 5. The two ends of the elastic elements 51 are fixedly connected to the force-bearing component 5 and the bottom surface inside the support box 31, respectively. By driving the motor 41 to rotate in the opposite direction, the support rod 36 and the counterweight 37 are driven to move downward. The counterweight 37 moves downward until it contacts the force-bearing component 5. The arc-shaped notch 52 on the force-bearing component 5 can increase the contact area with the counterweight 37, reduce the pressure, and prevent damage to the force-bearing component 5. The counterweight 37 drives the force-bearing component 5 to compress the elastic element 51 and move downward until the support column 53 at the bottom of the force-bearing component 5 contacts the ground. At this time, the support column 53 becomes a gravity support component, which can fix the position of the self-service vending machine. Conversely, the drive motor 41 drives the counterweight 37 to detach from the force-bearing component 5, and the support column 53 is lifted off the ground and no longer bears force under the action of the elastic element 51. At this time, under the action of the rotating wheel 311, the position of the self-service vending machine can be moved and changed for easy placement.
[0031] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0032] Before use, the self-service vending machine is activated by a drive motor 41, which drives a drive gear 42 to rotate. The drive gear 42 then drives a meshing gear A43 to rotate, which in turn drives a meshing gear B44 to rotate. Gears A43 and B44 drive threaded rods A32 and B33 to rotate in opposite directions, respectively. Since the threads on threaded rods A32 and B33 are opposite, they can jointly drive the support assembly 34 to move longitudinally. The support assembly 34 then drives the support tube 35 to move, which in turn drives the support rod on the support tube 35. 36. Move the support rod 36 longitudinally to the position facing the opening door 312. Then, attach the collars 38 on the counterweights 37 to the support rod 36 from both ends. The counterweights 37 are then attached to the guide rod 39. Manually rotate the support rod 36; the guide rod 39 ensures that the counterweights 37 do not rotate. The support rod 36 moves the counterweights 37 towards the support assembly 34. The timing of placing the counterweights 37 at both ends ensures symmetrical positions and balanced force distribution. After placing enough counterweights 37, the self-service vending machine will function. With increased weight and a lower center of gravity, the machine is less likely to tip over and endanger pedestrians upon impact. In this case, the drive motor 41 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the support rod 36 and counterweight 37 to move downwards. The counterweight 37 moves downwards until it contacts the load-bearing component 5. The arc-shaped notch 52 on the load-bearing component 5 increases the contact area with the counterweight 37, reducing pressure and preventing damage to the load-bearing component 5. The counterweight 37 then causes the load-bearing component 5 to compress the elastic element 51 and move downwards until the support column 53 at the bottom of the load-bearing component 5 contacts the ground. At this point, the support column 53 becomes the gravity support component. The component 5 can fix the position of the self-service vending machine. Conversely, the drive motor 41 drives the counterweight 37 to detach from the force-bearing component 5, and the support column 53 is no longer under the action of the elastic component 51. At this time, under the action of the rotating wheel 311, the position of the self-service vending machine can be moved and changed for easy placement. When it is necessary to move the self-service vending machine, the opening door 312 can be opened, the drive motor 41 can be rotated to move the support rod 36 to the position of the opening door 312, and the support rod 36 can be rotated to remove the counterweight 37, thereby reducing the weight of the self-service vending machine.
