[0009] Preferably, a receipt printer is located on one side of the keyboard, and a card reader is located on the other side. The receipt printer is used to print transaction receipts, business receipts, or small tickets. The card reader is used to read information from various cards such as ID cards, bank cards, and IC cards.

[0010] Preferably, the host unit has a hard disk video recorder connected to the power supply box via electrical circuitry on its side. A camera is mounted on the chassis, and the hard disk video recorder connects to the camera for 24-hour video recording, used for security monitoring and event tracing.

[0011] Preferably, a semiconductor air conditioner is installed on the upper rear side of the chassis, which is connected to the power supply box via circuitry. The semiconductor air conditioner uses semiconductor technology to cool or heat the interior of the chassis, ensuring that the internal electronic components can operate normally under extreme outdoor temperatures (extreme heat or severe cold).

[0012] Preferably, the upper front of the chassis is equipped with a light box that is electrically connected to the power supply box. The light box is used for brand display, equipment status indication, or nighttime illumination to improve equipment visibility.

[0013] This invention can achieve the following effects:

[0014] This invention provides an outdoor touch-screen all-in-one machine, which, compared with existing technologies, features a compact structure, convenient operation, and high operational stability. It enables self-service terminal equipment to operate in outdoor environments, making it perfectly suitable for various outdoor scenarios requiring unattended, self-service operation. It is an important component in the construction of smart cities, smart tourism, and smart communities.

[0015] Highly integrated: It integrates numerous functional modules such as display, input, output, processing, storage, monitoring, and temperature control into a single chassis, resulting in a compact structure, space-saving design, and easy deployment.

[0016] Strong environmental adaptability:

[0017] Semiconductor air conditioners are the core guarantee for outdoor equipment, solving the pain point of electronic devices shutting down or being damaged due to excessively high or low temperatures outdoors.

[0018] The integrated chassis design itself has a certain degree of dustproof, waterproof (usually reaching IP55 or higher) and anti-vandalism capabilities.

[0019] Safe and reliable: The integrated hard disk video recorder provides physical-level security monitoring, effectively deterring vandalism and providing evidence for disputes. The rational layout of internal components and the selection of industrial-grade materials ensure the stability of the equipment's 24 / 7 uninterrupted operation.

[0020] User-friendly interface: The multimodal interaction of touch, keyboard, and card reader caters to the operating habits of different user groups, making it both intuitive and efficient.

[0021] The clear layout (screen at the top, operation in the middle, and item retrieval at the bottom) conforms to the user's top-down visual and operational habits. Attached Figure Description
