[0038] The following description is intended to provide a detailed account of the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0039] Please see Figure 1-11 This utility model provides a technical solution: a modular service kiosk, comprising:

[0040] The pavilion consists of a main body 1, modular components 2, a cultural memory information display component 3, and a solar energy component 4. The modular components 2, which are installed in the main body 1, can be adjusted according to needs. The overall image of the main body 1 can adopt the characteristics of the white walls and black tiles of the folk houses in the Jiangnan region. The main body 1 is a rectangular structure with a sloping roof. The sloping roof and the side walls of the main body 1 are connected by an arc transition. The outer layer of the main body 1 is black and the inner layer is white.

[0041] The main body of the pavilion 1 includes a service pavilion shell 10 and a steel structure frame 12. See below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The modular service kiosk combines the steel structure frame 12 and the prefabricated service kiosk shell 10, and fixes them by bolts. During the assembly construction, the service kiosk is first placed horizontally, and the steel structure frame 12 and the service kiosk shell 10 are connected and riveted every 20 centimeters. After the connection and reinforcement are completed, the service kiosk is erected. Preferably, the frame 12 adopts a steel keel frame structure.

[0042] The service kiosk shell 10 has windows 11 on its horizontal side. These windows are diamond-shaped, characteristic of the Jiangnan region, and feature printed cultural content, allowing users to take photos and providing a new interactive experience. (See also...) Figure 11 The service kiosk shell 10 has a transparent door 13 on the other side in the horizontal direction. The transparent door 13 is decorated with printed decorations for reproducing literary scenes.

[0043] See Figure 3 and 4 The modular service kiosk further includes: modular component 2, which includes:

[0044] The perforated plate 21 and the partition plate 24 are provided. The perforated plate 21 is made of galvanized steel plate. After being assembled as required, the perforated plate 21 is welded to the frame 12 as a support for the entire modular component 2. The perforated plate 21 is provided with regularly arranged holes. Preferably, the diameter of the holes is about 25mm, which are used to fix other components. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the perforated plate 21 in the horizontal direction is "C" shaped. The opening of the "C" shape is set towards the window 11. Specifically, the perforated plate 21 includes a back plate and side plates set on both sides of the back plate in the horizontal direction to ensure the stability of the overall structure.

[0045] Referring to 3 and 4, a connector is inserted into the hole plate 21 through the hole. The partition 24 is detachably installed on the inner side of the hole plate 21 through the connector. The partition 24 is configured to divide the functional area enclosed by the hole plate 21 into several sub-areas. In this embodiment, the sub-areas set in the modular component 2 are divided into a book borrowing area, a smart touch device area, a smart phone area, a power bank rental area, a first aid equipment area, and a vending equipment area. The modular component 2 can embed cultural memory theme information. The size and number of sub-areas on the modular component 2 can be adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to the display and guidance of different themed cultural memory information, and meet different usage scenarios and personalized needs.

[0046] For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and 4 The partitions 24 are multiple in number, and are divided into transverse partitions and longitudinal partitions. The connecting members include a longitudinal connecting member 22 connecting the longitudinal partition and the hole plate 21, and a transverse connecting member 23 connecting the transverse partition and the hole plate 21. A component encapsulation panel frame 25 is provided on the side of the side plate and the partition away from the back plate. The longitudinal connecting member 22, the transverse connecting member 23, and the component encapsulation panel frame 25 cooperate to constrain the partitions 24 to a designated position on the hole plate 21. Furthermore, the hole plate 21 and the partitions 24 can be connected using fasteners such as screws and bolts to further reinforce the position of the partitions 24 on the hole plate 21.

[0047] See Figure 6 and 7 In this embodiment, the transverse connector 23 is inserted into the hole on the hole plate 21, and the transverse partition is placed above the transverse connector 23;

[0048] The longitudinal connector 22 is inserted into the hole on the hole plate 21. The longitudinal connector 22 is divided into several groups, and there are two longitudinal connectors 22 in each group. The two longitudinal connectors 22 are arranged at intervals in the transverse direction. The longitudinal partition is set to be inserted between the two longitudinal connectors 22. Furthermore, both longitudinal connectors 22 are interference-fitted with the longitudinal partition, that is, the gap between the two longitudinal connectors 22 is just enough to fit the longitudinal partition and compact it. If further reinforcement is required, fasteners such as screws and bolts can be used for connection.

[0049] The horizontal and vertical partitions can be combined as needed. The hole plate 21 and the connector are of fixed size. The partitions are provided with a variety of fixed sizes and can be selected and spliced ​​as needed to meet the space requirements of functional components of different sizes.

[0050] The side of the connector facing the partition is the support side. The connector includes a connecting part and a support part connected sequentially along its length. The connecting part passes through the inner side of the hole in the hole plate 21. The end of the connecting part on the outer side of the hole plate 21 extends towards the side opposite to the support side. The end of the connecting part on the inner side of the hole plate 21 is connected to the support part. The support part is a right-angled triangle. The support side of the support part and the side of the support part facing the inner side of the hole plate 21 correspond to the two legs of the right triangle, respectively. The center of the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle is concave and arc-shaped. By defining the specific structure of the connector, the triangular support part has better stability during the partition process to bear the weight of the partition 24. The dimensions of the connector, the dimensions of the hole in the hole plate 21, and the dimensions of the partition 24 are similar to mortise and tenon joints, achieving fixation without bolts. Furthermore, the connector is made of welded metal sheets arranged at intervals, which meets the requirements of lightweight while providing a certain supporting strength.

[0051] See Figure 3 and 4 The modular component 2 further includes: a component encapsulation panel frame 25, the component encapsulation panel frame 25 including a frame body and an encapsulation strip detachably connected to the frame body, the frame body corresponding to the outer periphery of the opening formed by the hole plate 21, the encapsulation strip corresponding to the side of the partition, wherein the length of the encapsulation strip is greater than the side length of the partition for bolting, and the width of the encapsulation strip is greater than the side width of the partition for blocking and fixing. Further, the frame body and one side of the functional area opening are connected by a hinge, and the frame body and the other side of the functional area opening are fixed by a buckle. Even further, the frame body is rotatably connected to the frame 12 outside the modular component 2 by a hinge. Preferably, both the frame body and the encapsulation strip are made of galvanized steel.

[0052] During assembly, after setting up the relevant functional devices, the fixed connectors and partitions are encapsulated. Depending on the different selections of the partitions 24, the encapsulation strips are connected to the frame. The frame is then rotatably connected to the frame 12 outside the modular component 2 via hinges, and a latch is set on the other side for fixation.

[0053] See Figure 10The modular service kiosk also includes a solar panel 4, which comprises a solar panel 41, a battery 42, and a controller. The solar panel 41 is fixedly connected to the top of the service kiosk shell 10, and the battery 42 is located in the sloping roof space of the kiosk body 1 to shorten the energy storage distance and reduce energy waste. The solar panel 41 and the battery 42 supply power to the modular component device 2. The wiring is adjusted and the USB interface is inserted through the holes on the hole plate 21 in the modular component device 2 to achieve green energy self-sufficiency.

[0054] After the modular component 2 is packaged, related functional devices are implanted. The related devices can be connected and fixed through the holes on the back of the perforation plate 21. The wiring can be inserted through the perforation plate 21 to the battery 42 in the roof space of the pavilion body 1. Furthermore, a backup energy circuit 43 is also provided at the bottom of the modular component 2. The backup energy circuit 43 is also connected through the holes on the perforation plate 21.

[0055] See Figure 11 The modular service kiosk further includes a cultural memory information display component 3, which is located on the outside of the service kiosk shell 10. The cultural memory information display component 3 includes a cultural window 31 and guiding text 32. The cultural window 31 is located on one side of the service kiosk shell 10 and has a pre-drilled groove for inserting a poster and then covering it with an acrylic sheet. The four corners are secured with screws. The covering sheet is embedded in the outer surface of the service kiosk shell 10 to prevent wind and rain from affecting the cultural window 31. A framed area is located on the outside of the service kiosk shell 10, and the guiding text 32 is spray-painted within this area. A suitable paint can be applied within the framed area to cover the guiding text 32. The paint color is the same as the color of the service kiosk shell 10. During use, the guiding text 32 can be covered with paint within the framed area, and the content of the guiding text 32 can be updated later to change the content of the guiding text 32.

[0056] In summary, the modular component 2 in the main body of the pavilion 1 has a reasonable structure, is easy to assemble, and provides flexible reserved space. The configuration of the modular component 2 can be adjusted according to actual needs, making it easy to add or remove functional components to adapt to different usage scenarios and personalized needs. All components adopt standardized design, which facilitates quick assembly and disassembly and reduces later maintenance costs.

[0057] The solar panel 41 is set up in combination with the local sunlight angle and cultural style. While using a distinctive design, it improves solar energy efficiency, achieves energy self-sufficiency, reduces dependence on external power, and lowers operating costs. It embodies the concept of green environmental protection and sustainable development. The wiring is hidden on the back of the hole plate 21 in the modular component 2, realizing the integration of form, structure and function.

[0058] Integrating cultural information into the display can be combined with local cultural features, making the installation not only practical but also a carrier for inheriting and showcasing local culture through the style of white walls and black tiles. The design also takes into account the interactive needs of users. For example, through the selfie function provided by window 11, the cultural memory information display component 3 can be designed as a memory theme. Interactive components such as a stamp collection device can be set up inside the service booth shell 10 to evoke users' memories and resonate with them, creating a friendly and humanistic environment.

[0059] The embodiments described above are only used to illustrate the technical ideas and features of this utility model. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. The scope of patent application of this utility model should not be limited by these embodiments. That is, any equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit disclosed in this utility model still fall within the patent scope of this utility model.
