[0034] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided through specific embodiments.

[0035] Combination Figures 1 to 3As shown, this utility model discloses a self-service device, including a display component B connected to a bracket A. The bottom of the bracket A is connected to a bottom support plate 1. At least two rotating wheels 2 are connected to one side of the bottom support plate 1. The rotating wheels 2 are located on the side of the bottom support plate 1 and are on the same horizontal plane. That is, when the bottom support plate 1 is placed horizontally on the ground, the wheel surface of the rotating wheel 2 is also placed horizontally on the ground and cannot rotate, so as not to affect the normal use of the self-service device. The rotating wheel 2 can rotate after the bottom support plate 1 is lifted on the other side relative to the rotating wheel 2, so that the bottom support plate 1 and the bracket A can be moved by the rotating pulley. It is not necessary to lift the entire device. Only one side of the device needs to be lifted to easily push the device, which is more labor-saving and achieves the purpose of convenient movement. Moreover, the structure is simple and only needs to be added to the side of the bottom support plate 1 (with little impact on the overall structure of the self-service device, and can also be installed later).

[0036] In this embodiment, it can be further combined with Figure 4 As shown, two rotating wheels 2 are connected to one side of the bottom support plate 1. Each rotating wheel 2 includes a connecting block 21, a rotating shaft 22, and a wheel 23. The connecting block 21 is located on the side of the bottom support plate 1. The rotating shaft 22 is installed in the connecting block 21 and is parallel to the side of the bottom support plate 1 where the rotating wheel 2 is installed. The wheel 23 is rotatably installed on the rotating shaft 22.

[0037] Combination Figures 3 to 8 As shown, in order to reduce the packaging volume of the self-service equipment, the bracket A includes an upper bracket 3 and a lower bracket 4. The lower bracket 4 is connected to the bottom support plate 1. The bottom of the upper bracket 3 is connected to an upper connecting plate 5, and the top of the lower bracket 4 is connected to a lower connecting plate 6. The upper bracket 3 and the lower bracket 4 are connected through the upper connecting plate 5 and the lower connecting plate 6, so that the upper bracket 3 and the lower bracket 4 form a detachable and combinable connection.

[0038] The upper support 3 and the lower support 4 each include a shell with multiple side plates forming an internal cavity, into which a printer or similar device can be installed. The upper support 3 is located above the lower support 4 and the two are joined together. The lower connecting plate 6 is located below the upper connecting plate 5. The lower connecting plate 6 has at least one positioning protrusion or positioning hole, and the upper connecting plate 5 has at least one positioning hole or positioning protrusion that corresponds to the positioning protrusion or positioning hole in the lower connecting plate for positioning. In this embodiment, as shown... Figure 7 , Figure 8As shown, at least two positioning protrusions 611 are provided on the lower connecting plate 6, and two positioning holes 511 are provided on the upper connecting plate 5, which respectively cooperate with the positioning protrusions 611 in the lower connecting plate 6 for positioning, thereby positioning the upper connecting plate 5 above the lower connecting plate 6. Furthermore, multiple screw holes 512 and 612 are also provided between the upper connecting plate 5 and the lower connecting plate 6. After positioning, the upper connecting plate 5 and the lower connecting plate 6 are locked together by multiple bolts 71 and nuts 72 to achieve the fixation between the upper connecting plate 5 and the lower connecting plate 6, so that the upper bracket 3 and the lower bracket 4 can be assembled and fixed together.

[0039] The upper bracket 3 and the lower bracket 4 are movably connected to the back sides of the upper bracket 3 and the lower bracket 4, respectively, by means of limiting, locking or welding. An upper support cover plate 8 can also be mounted above the upper support plate 5. Components such as printers in the inner cavity of the upper bracket 3 can be placed or hung above the upper support cover plate 8. The shapes of the upper connection plate 5 and the lower connection plate 6 correspond to the shapes of the bottom of the upper bracket 3 and the top of the lower bracket 4, respectively. In this embodiment, a first protrusion 301 is provided near the bottom of the inner wall of the housing where the upper bracket 3 is located. The upper connection plate 5 includes a first side edge 52 extending upward from a set of opposite sides of the first plate body 51. At least one L-shaped first hanging groove 53 is provided between the first side edge 52 and the first plate body 51. The first hanging groove 53 is inserted into the first protrusion 301 for positioning, so that the upper connection plate 5 is limited to the bottom of the upper bracket 3, thereby facilitating the positioning or connection of the upper connection plate 5 in the upper bracket 3. Similarly, a second protrusion 401 is provided near the top of the inner wall of the housing where the lower bracket 4 is located. The lower connecting plate 6 includes a second side edge 62 extending downward on the side of the second plate body 61. The second side edge 62 has at least one second hanging groove 63 with an opening facing downward. The second hanging groove 63 can be inserted into the second protrusion 401 for positioning, thereby facilitating the lower connecting plate 6 to be limited to the top of the lower bracket 4.

[0040] The upper support 3 and the lower support 4 may each include multiple side plates enclosing a shell. In this embodiment, the upper support 3 and the lower support 4 each form a rectangular shell, enclosed by four square plates. The upper connecting plate 5, the lower connecting plate 6, and the upper support cover plate 7 each form a rectangular plate. Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, a plurality of positioning protrusions 521 are provided on the first side edge 52 of the upper connecting plate 5, and a positioning groove 81 is recessed in the side edge of the upper support cover plate 8 corresponding to the positioning protrusions 521. When the upper support cover plate 8 is placed on the upper connecting plate 5, the positioning groove 81 is inserted into the positioning groove 81 for positioning, so that the upper support cover plate 8 can be stably placed on the upper connecting plate 5.

[0041] like Figure 5As shown, in order to facilitate the detachable installation of the display component B on the upper bracket 3, in this embodiment, the upper part of the upper bracket is provided with two spaced upper side plates 32. The two front sides of the upper side plates 32 facing the display component B form inclined sides, so that the display component B is set at an angle. The back of the display component B is connected to a mounting back plate 9, which is detachably connected between the two upper side plates 32. In this embodiment, each upper side plate 32 has at least one first limiting post 321 protruding from its inner side facing the interior of the upper bracket 3. The mounting back plate 9 includes a plate body 91 locked to the back of the display component B and a third side edge 92 extending to the right from both sides of the plate body. At least one third hanging groove 921 is provided on the third side edge 92. The third hanging groove 921 extends inward from the side edge of the third side edge 92 and then upward to form a J-shape. The third hanging groove 921 can be inserted into the first limiting post 321 for positioning, so that the first limiting post 321 is located in the middle of the inner end of the third hanging groove 921 and is locked in the third hanging groove 921 so that the mounting back plate 9 is hung between the two upper side plates 32. To secure the display component and prevent it from being moved upwards and removed from its limit, at least one set of first connecting holes (not shown in the figure) is provided between the third side edge 92 and the upper side plate 32. After the mounting back plate 9 is hung between the two upper side plates 32, it can be locked onto the first connecting holes by bolts 71 and nuts 72.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, when the lower bracket is installed on the bottom support plate 1, a base plate is formed at the bottom of the lower bracket 4. The base plate includes two bottom mounting plates 42 that are joined together. The bottom mounting plates 42 extend from the bottom of the two side plates of the lower bracket 4 towards the interior of the lower bracket 4. The bottom support plate 1 includes two support plates 11. The rotating wheel 2 is located on the side of one of the support plates 11. Each support plate 11 has at least one second limiting post 111 protruding from it. The bottom mounting plate 42 has a limiting hole (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the second limiting post 111, which allows the second limiting post 111 to pass through and be limited. There are also multiple sets of second connecting holes (not shown in the figure) between the support plate 11 and the bottom mounting plate 42. The bottom mounting plate 42 is limited on the support plate 11 by the second limiting post 111 and then locked on the second connecting holes by bolts 71 and nuts (not shown), thereby connecting and positioning the lower bracket 4 on the bottom support plate 1.

[0043] With the above structure, the self-service machine of this utility model has a set of casters installed on one side of the bottom support plate at the bottom of the bracket. When the self-service equipment needs to be moved, the bottom support plate and the bracket can be moved by the rotating pulleys without having to lift the entire equipment, making operation more labor-saving. The structure is simple and does not affect the use of the self-service machine in its normal placement state. In addition, the bracket of the self-service equipment of this utility model can be disassembled into an upper bracket, a lower bracket and a bottom support plate. When assembling and installing, alignment and limiting can be performed before locking and fixing, making installation simple and greatly reducing the packaging volume of the self-service machine, saving packaging and transportation costs.

[0044] The above embodiments and figures are not intended to limit the product form and style of this utility model. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art should be considered as not departing from the patent scope of this utility model.
