[0014] 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.

[0015] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a window intercom suitable for the elderly, including a window intercom body 1 and a matching distance adjustment mechanism 3. The front end of the window intercom body 1 is equipped with a handheld microphone 2, and the bottom is equipped with a sliding roller 15. The lower end is adjusted in position via the distance adjustment mechanism 3. The device is fixed to the window glass by a distance adjustment slide 4. Ordinary users can directly use the touch screen and function buttons on the body to complete the operation, and achieve voice interaction through the built-in microphone hole and speaker, without having to take out the handheld microphone 2. When the elderly user is handling business, the staff can start the drive motor 8 with one button, and push the support roller 10 through the distance adjustment arm 9 to move the window intercom body 1 forward. At this time, the distance adjustment slider 5 slides along the distance adjustment slide 4 and compresses the return spring 7, realizing precise adjustment of the distance between the body and the elderly, solving the problem of difficulty in taking out the device due to the window being too wide.

[0016] It is worth noting that the core component of the adjusting mechanism 3 is the adjusting slide 4, which has fixed guide posts 6 on its inner walls at both ends and a return spring 7 on its outer side. The adjusting slider 5 is slidably mounted on the fixed guide posts 6 to form a stable sliding guide structure. After the business is completed, the adjusting arm 9 is reset, and the window intercom body 1 is automatically retracted under the action of the return spring 7, reducing the space occupied by the counter. It is worth noting that a drive motor 8 is fixed to one side of the adjustable slide 4, and its output shaft is connected to the adjustable arm 9. The support roller 10 at the end of the arm fits against the back of the intercom body 1. The two ends of the return spring 7 are fixed to the end face of the adjustable slider 5 and the inner wall of the adjustable slide 4, respectively, and the automatic reset function is achieved through elastic potential energy. It is worth noting that the lower end of the adjustable slider 5 is connected to the translation slider 11, and its end is equipped with a pen sleeve 12, which houses a stylus 13, making it convenient for the elderly to operate the touch screen. The adjustable slider 4 has an outlet 14 for easy access to the stylus 13; the translation roller 15 is flush with the bottom of the adjustable slider 4 to ensure smooth overall movement; the stylus 13 moves forward synchronously with the body, making it convenient for the elderly to access and operate the touch screen. It is worth noting that a hands-free speaker 16 is provided at the front end of the window intercom body 1, and a hands-free microphone 17 is provided at the front end of the window intercom body 1 on one side of the hands-free speaker 16.

[0017] This solution has the following working process: Before use, the intercom extension is fixed to the window glass by the adjustable sliding base 4. When normal customers are handling business, the touch screen and buttons on the intercom body 1 are used for information confirmation and filling. The intercom body 1 is equipped with a hands-free speaker 16 and a hands-free microphone 17. Communication with the staff inside is carried out through the intercom extension without having to pick up the handheld microphone 2. The relationship between the hands-free speaker 16 and hands-free microphone 17 and the handheld microphone 2 is as follows: the default is hands-free communication. If the intercom is close to the elderly and they still cannot hear clearly, then the elderly will pick up the handheld microphone to speak, and at the same time the volume of the hands-free communication will be reduced. When an elderly person with hearing impairment is handling business at the window, the staff can activate the drive motor 8 with one button. The drive motor 8 drives the adjustable arm 9 to rotate forward through the output shaft, which in turn drives the support roller 10 to abut against the intercom body 1. When the intercom body 1 is squeezed, it drives the adjustable slider 5 to slide forward along the adjustable slide seat 4 and compress the return spring 7. This can adjust the distance between the intercom body 1 and the elderly person, so that the elderly person can pick up the handheld microphone 2 and use the touch screen. This can overcome the defect that the wide window counter makes it inconvenient for the elderly to use. When handling business, the elderly person can pick up the handheld microphone 2 to talk to the staff inside. The handheld microphone 2 is set to a loud volume and is close to the ear. The earpiece of the handheld microphone 2 fits the ear better, making it easier to hear the staff's voice. The elderly person's weak voice can also be directly transmitted to the intercom host inside through the microphone and emitted through the speaker, making it easier for the staff to hear what the elderly person is saying. When the adjustable slider 5 moves forward to adjust the position, it drives the translation slider 11 to move forward along the adjustable slider 4. In this way, the stylus 13 embedded in the pen sleeve 12 can move forward synchronously with the position of the intercom body 1 in the window. The stylus 13 extends out of the adjustable slider 4 and is adjusted to be in front of the elderly for easy access and insertion. After the elderly person has finished using the device, the adjustable arm 9 continuously rotates back and removes the clamping restriction on the back of the intercom unit 1. In this way, the adjustable slider 5 is reset under the action of the return spring 7, which can automatically reset the position of the intercom unit 1 to reduce the space occupied on the counter.
