Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of barcode scanner technology, and more specifically, to a mobile payment barcode scanner. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of mobile payment technology, QR code payment has become an indispensable payment method in daily consumption scenarios. Mobile payment QR code boxes, as the core devices to realize this function, are widely used in various offline transaction scenarios such as supermarkets, restaurants, and retail stores. They quickly read the payment QR code on the user's mobile phone through a built-in image recognition module, completing the transmission and verification of payment information, greatly improving transaction efficiency.

[0003] However, existing mobile payment QR code scanning boxes still have many technical problems in actual use, affecting user experience and device lifespan. Firstly, the device lacks stability. Most current QR code scanning boxes are designed to be placed directly on a table, lacking a stable fixing structure. During daily operation, they are easily displaced or even slipped due to external forces such as collisions or accidental touches. This can not only interrupt the payment process but also cause damage from hard impacts with the table. Secondly, the scanning end has weak protection. The scanning end (usually the optical recognition window), as a core functional component, is directly exposed to the external environment and is easily damaged by external forces such as scratches from sharp objects and liquid splashes, leading to decreased recognition accuracy or even malfunction. Thirdly, dust resistance is inadequate. When not in use, the scanning end easily accumulates dust, lint, and other debris, which not only affects the recognition speed for the next use but may also cause aging of internal optical components due to long-term dust accumulation, shortening the device's lifespan and increasing maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above deficiencies, this application provides a mobile payment QR code scanning box to solve the problems mentioned in the background art regarding the fixing method, scanning terminal protection, and dustproof performance of existing mobile payment QR code scanning boxes.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows:

[0006] A mobile payment QR code scanning box includes a scanning dock body and a scanning dock inside the scanning dock body. The scanning dock body has protective components on its scanning surface and several reinforcing ribs on both sides of its outer wall. It also has a maintenance door on its back. Two anti-slip strips are integrally formed on both sides of the bottom of the scanning dock body, and an installation groove is formed in the middle. A counterweight is magnetically attracted inside the installation groove, protruding from the groove and magnetically fixed to an external tabletop.

[0007] Furthermore, the protective component includes a connecting strip, a flexible sheet, and two magnetic strips. The bottom end of the connecting strip is glued to the top end of the barcode scanner body. One end of the flexible sheet is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting strip, and its bottom covers the scanning surface of the barcode scanner body. The two magnetic strips are glued to the bottom of the surface of the barcode scanner body and the bottom of the other end of the flexible sheet, respectively, and their opposing surfaces are magnetically attracted.

[0008] Furthermore, the flexible sheet adopts a double-layer fabric design structure, with a rubber sheet and a steel wire mesh sandwiched in the inner layer, and connected to each other by a hot pressing process.

[0009] Furthermore, the reinforcing ribs protrude from the side wall of the barcode scanner body and are irregular in shape.

[0010] Furthermore, the counterweight is magnetically charged and located inside the mounting groove, with the bottom protrusion being half the thickness of the anti-slip strip.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer shell of the scanning station is made of thickened honeycomb panel, and is equipped with relevant hardware and batteries inside.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This utility model features two anti-slip strips integrally formed on both sides of the bottom of the scanning pen body, which can increase the friction with the table and reduce slight displacement during daily use; the magnetic counterweight block inside the mounting groove in the middle increases the overall stability of the device with its own weight, and can also be magnetically fixed to the table. Under the dual effect, the risk of slippage caused by collision or accidental touch is greatly reduced, ensuring the continuity of the payment process, while reducing the damage to the device caused by impact.

[0014] 2. In this utility model, the protective component set on the scanning surface of the barcode box includes a flexible sheet that can tightly cover the scanning surface through the magnetic attraction of two magnetic strips. When not in use, it can effectively prevent dust, lint, and other debris from adhering to the surface, avoiding the impact of dust accumulation on the recognition speed or the aging of internal optical components. The flexible sheet adopts a composite structure of double-layer cloth sandwiching a rubber sheet and steel wire mesh, which has both flexibility and impact resistance. It can resist the damage to the scanning end (optical recognition window) caused by external forces such as scratches from sharp objects and splashes of liquid, ensuring recognition accuracy and the stability of equipment functions.

[0015] 3. This utility model enhances the structural strength of the outer shell by using irregular reinforcing ribs on both sides of the outer wall of the barcode scanner, increasing friction and reducing deformation damage caused by external impacts. The outer shell is made of thickened honeycomb panels, further enhancing its impact and pressure resistance and extending the service life of the equipment. The maintenance door on the back allows for quick opening and maintenance in case of equipment failure, reducing maintenance costs and time.

[0016] 4. The bottom protrusion of the counterweight block of this utility model is half the thickness of the anti-slip strip, which not only ensures the stability of the magnetic fixation, but also avoids shaking when the device is placed; the magnetic connection design of the protective component makes the flexible sheet easy to open and close without affecting normal scanning. The overall structural design takes into account practicality and convenience, and improves the user experience in daily payment scenarios. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Example:

[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 A mobile payment QR code scanning box includes a QR code scanning dock body 1 and a scanning dock 2 provided inside the QR code scanning dock body 1.

[0025] The main body 1 of the QR code scanner serves as the core load-bearing structure. It is formed by molding a thickened honeycomb panel, with a pre-reserved mounting cavity for the QR code scanner 2. The QR code scanner 2 is embedded into the cavity and secured to the inner wall with clips, ensuring the stability of the optical components during scanning. In terms of internal hardware, besides the core QR code scanner 2, the main body 1 includes a main control circuit board, a wireless communication module supporting Bluetooth and WiFi, a voice broadcast module, and indicator lights. These components work in conjunction with the QR code scanner 2 to complete mobile payment operations. The main body 1 and QR code scanner 2 utilize existing technology in this field and will not be described in detail here.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 A mobile payment QR code scanning box includes a scanning block body 1 with a protective component 3 on the scanning surface and several reinforcing ribs 4 on both sides of the outer wall. A maintenance door 5 is provided on the back. The bottom sides of the scanning block body 1 are integrally formed with two anti-slip strips 6, and an installation groove 7 is opened in the middle. A counterweight 8 is magnetically attracted inside the installation groove 7. The counterweight 8 protrudes from the installation groove 7 and is magnetically fixed to the external table. The protective component 3 includes a connecting strip 31, a flexible sheet 32, and two magnetic strips 33.

[0027] The protective component 3 protects the optical recognition window of the barcode scanner body 1. A mounting position for the protective component 3 is pre-drilled at the top of the scanning surface of the barcode scanner body 1. The length of the connecting strip 31 matches the length of the top of the scanning surface of the barcode scanner body 1, and its edges are chamfered to prevent hand injuries during use. A layer of environmentally friendly epoxy resin adhesive is evenly applied to the bottom of the connecting strip 31. This adhesive has high bonding strength and good aging resistance. After application, it is bonded to the mounting position at the top of the barcode scanner body 1. This ensures a firm bond between the connecting strip 31 and the barcode scanner body 1. The double-layer fabric of the flexible sheet 32 ​​is made of wear-resistant Oxford cloth, which has high tear strength and abrasion resistance. The rubber sheet sandwiched between the double-layer fabrics is made of nitrile rubber, which has good elasticity and oil resistance. The wire mesh is woven from 100-mesh low-carbon steel wire, which has excellent tensile strength. During manufacturing, double-layered Oxford cloth, rubber sheets, and wire mesh are first stacked neatly in sequence and then placed in a hot-press mold. The hot-pressing process tightly bonds the materials into a single unit, ensuring both good flexibility and sufficient structural strength. One end of the flexible sheet 32 ​​is double-stitched to the side wall of the connecting strip 31 using high-strength nylon thread to ensure a secure connection. The flexible sheet 32 ​​is designed to completely cover the scanning surface of the barcode scanner body 1. Both magnetic strips 33 are made of neodymium iron boron permanent magnet material, are elongated, and their length is the same as the width of the scanning surface of the barcode scanner body 1. One of the magnetic strips 33 has an environmentally friendly adhesive evenly applied to its non-coupling surface, and then it is glued and fixed to a predetermined position on the bottom of the barcode scanner body 1, ensuring that the magnetic strip 33 is parallel to the edge of the scanning surface during the gluing process. The other magnetic strip 33 is also coated with environmentally friendly adhesive on its opposite side and bonded to the bottom of the other end of the flexible sheet 32. The bonding position is located at the end of the flexible sheet 32 ​​to ensure that the two magnetic strips 33 can be precisely aligned when the flexible sheet 32 ​​covers the scanning surface. The opposite sides of the two magnetic strips 33 are respectively filled with opposite magnetic fields, so that they can fit tightly when closed, effectively preventing dust from entering the scanning surface.

[0028] The reinforcing rib 4 and the barcode scanner body 1 are made of the same thickened honeycomb panel material, and are molded together with the side wall of the barcode scanner body 1 through an integrated injection molding process, ensuring the stability of the connection and preventing detachment during later use. Regarding the protrusion height, the reinforcing rib 4 does not protrude uniformly from the side wall of the barcode scanner body 1, exhibiting an irregular variation within the range of 2-4mm. In some areas, the protrusion height is 2mm, such as near the corners of the barcode scanner body 1, which provides reinforcement without excessively increasing the overall size of the equipment. In the stress-prone areas in the middle of the side wall of the barcode scanner body 1, the protrusion height reaches 4mm, which more effectively disperses external forces, improves the structural strength of the barcode scanner body 1, and increases the friction of the side wall, thereby better reinforcing the barcode scanner body 1 and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0029] The maintenance door 5 is made of the same thickened honeycomb panel as the outer shell of the barcode scanner body 1. Its size matches the maintenance opening on the back of the barcode scanner body 1, ensuring complete coverage of the maintenance opening. When the maintenance door 5 is closed, the sealing strip is slightly compressed, tightly filling the gap between the maintenance opening and the body, effectively preventing dust and moisture from entering the equipment and protecting the internal hardware. When opened, it can be easily and quickly opened for maintenance without the need for tools.

[0030] The two anti-slip strips 6 are made of highly elastic silicone, a material with excellent anti-slip properties and wear resistance, adaptable to various tabletop materials, and resistant to deformation after long-term use. They are integrally molded with the bottom of the barcode scanner body 1, ensuring a secure connection and preventing detachment during use. To enhance anti-slip performance, the bottom surface of the anti-slip strips 6 features dense diamond-shaped anti-slip patterns. These patterns effectively increase friction with the tabletop, maintaining the stability of the barcode scanner body 1 even with minor water or oil stains, reducing displacement due to accidental contact.

[0031] The mounting slot 7 is located in the center of the bottom of the barcode scanner body 1, and its shape is rectangular, matching the counterweight 8. The walls of the mounting slot 7 are polished to be smooth and flat, facilitating the insertion and removal of the counterweight 8. Simultaneously, a permanent magnet is adhered to the inner wall of the mounting slot 7, generating a stable magnetic attraction force with the counterweight 8, ensuring the stability of the counterweight 8 within the mounting slot 7. The counterweight 8 is made of iron-nickel alloy, a material with high density, providing sufficient weight to enhance stability. The counterweight 8 is magnetized, giving it strong magnetism. Its dimensions precisely match the mounting slot 7. When the counterweight 8 is placed inside the mounting slot 7, it attracts the permanent magnet on the inner wall of the slot 7, achieving a tight fixation and preventing loosening. The protrusion at the bottom of the counterweight 8 is half the thickness of the anti-slip strip 6. This design ensures that the counterweight 8 can be magnetically fixed to the external tabletop, enhancing the stability of the equipment, without excessive protrusion affecting the stability of the equipment's placement. When the device is placed on an iron tabletop, the counterweight 8 will have a strong magnetic attraction to the tabletop, which, together with the anti-slip strip 6 on the bottom, forms a double fixation, effectively preventing the device from shifting or slipping during use; when the tabletop is not made of iron, the weight of the counterweight 8 itself can also increase the stability of the device and reduce movement caused by accidental touch.

[0032] It should be noted that the specific model and specifications of the sweeping dock 2 need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail.

[0033] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this application is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that this application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this application. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this application is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this application. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
