Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of card and ticket reading technology, and in particular to a card and ticket reading terminal. Background Technology

[0002] The card and ticket reading terminal can read information on ID cards, passports and other documents through image acquisition, electromagnetic induction and other methods.

[0003] In related technologies, when reading passport information, the card and ticket reader terminal needs to use an image acquisition module to capture an image of the passport's photo page, and also needs to use a radio frequency antenna to obtain electronic information from the chip embedded in the passport through electromagnetic induction. Because different types of passports exist, the location of the embedded chip also varies.

[0004] In related technologies, the electromagnetic induction range of the radio frequency antenna in document and ticket reading terminals is limited. This means that when reading information from certain types of passports, these terminals need to either first capture an image of the photo page and then obtain the electronic information from the chip, or vice versa. Therefore, the convenience of these document and ticket reading terminals in reading passport information is relatively poor. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, this application provides a card and ticket reading terminal to improve the poor convenience of reading passport information in related technologies.

[0006] This application provides a card and ticket reading terminal, which includes a housing, a first radio frequency antenna, and a second radio frequency antenna. A receiving cavity is provided inside the housing. The top structural wall of the housing includes a first structural wall and a second structural wall distributed along a predetermined direction of the housing. An image acquisition window is provided on the first structural wall. The first radio frequency antenna is located inside the receiving cavity, and at least a portion of the structure of the first radio frequency antenna is located on the side of the first structural wall facing the receiving cavity. The second radio frequency antenna is located inside the receiving cavity, and at least a portion of the structure of the second radio frequency antenna is located on the side of the second structural wall facing the receiving cavity.

[0007] According to the structural configuration of the document and ticket reading terminal provided in this application, when an opened document (such as a passport) is placed on the top structural wall, when the photo page of the document is placed on the image acquisition window, and when the opposite page of the document is placed on the second structural wall, the document and ticket reading terminal can begin to read the document's information. The first radio frequency antenna and the second radio frequency antenna can simultaneously emit radio frequency signals. When the electronic chip is embedded in the photo page, the electronic chip is closer to the first radio frequency antenna. The electronic chip can receive the energy of the radio frequency signal emitted by the first radio frequency antenna. The electronic chip is activated by the energy and emits a signal carrying information. The first radio frequency antenna then receives the signal, thereby enabling the document and ticket reading terminal to obtain information about the document holder's identity. Similarly, when the electronic chip is embedded in the opposite page, the electronic chip is closer to the second radio frequency antenna. The electronic chip receives the energy of the radio frequency signal emitted by the second radio frequency antenna. The electronic chip is activated by the energy and emits a signal carrying information. The second radio frequency antenna then receives the signal, thereby enabling the document and ticket reading terminal to obtain information about the document holder's identity. As described above, regardless of whether the electronic chip is embedded in the photo page or the opposite page of the ID card, the card and ticket reading terminal can read the information within the electronic chip using a first or second radio frequency antenna located at different positions. The card and ticket reading terminal provided in this application offers the following advantages: the user does not need to adjust the position of the ID card relative to the terminal; the terminal can quickly read and verify the identity information of the ID card holder; specifically, it eliminates the need for image acquisition followed by radio frequency identification, or vice versa. Therefore, the card and ticket reading terminal of this application offers greater convenience in reading ID card information.

[0008] Optionally, the card and ticket reading terminal also includes a bracket, which is located inside the receiving cavity and connected to the housing. The first radio frequency antenna is clamped and fixed by the bracket and the top structural wall.

[0009] Optionally, the bracket includes a support portion and a first limiting portion, the first limiting portion protruding relative to the support portion toward the top structural wall, the support portion supporting the bottom of the first radio frequency antenna, and the first limiting portion abutting against the side of the first radio frequency antenna.

[0010] Optionally, the top structural wall also includes a pressing part that protrudes into the receiving cavity relative to the first structural wall and presses against the top of the first radio frequency antenna.

[0011] Optionally, the first radio frequency antenna is projected onto the housing along the height direction of the housing as the first projection range, and the image acquisition window is projected onto the housing along the height direction of the housing as the second projection range, wherein the first projection range and the second projection range do not overlap.

[0012] Optionally, the first radio frequency antenna includes a four-sided frame structure, and the first radio frequency antenna is provided with a light-transmitting opening that extends through the height direction of the housing.

[0013] Optionally, the second structural wall extends from the first structural wall along a predetermined direction and the second structural wall is inclined downward relative to the first structural wall.

[0014] Optionally, the second structural wall is provided with a recessed portion that is recessed into the receiving cavity.

[0015] Optionally, the card and ticket reading terminal also includes a clamping component located outside the housing. The clamping component includes a clamping part, a mounting part, and a torsion spring. The clamping part is rotatably connected to the mounting part, and the clamping part is connected to the mounting part through the torsion spring. The mounting part is connected to the first structural wall.

[0016] Optionally, the card and ticket reading terminal also includes a light shield located outside the housing. The light shield includes a top light shield and a side light shield, which are connected. The bottom end of the side light shield is located at the edge and / or periphery of the top structural wall. The shape of the side light shield in the projection range of the housing along the height direction of the housing includes an L-shape.

[0078] To better understand the technical solutions of this application, the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. The terminology used in the embodiments of this application is for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only, and is not intended to limit this application. The singular forms "a," "described," and "the" used in the embodiments of this application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should be understood that the term "and / or" used herein is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0079] In the accompanying diagram, directions X, Y, and Z are perpendicular to each other.

[0080] This application provides some embodiments of document and ticket reading terminals, relating to the field of document and ticket reading technology. Specifically, these terminals can be used to read information on documents such as ID cards, passports, and household registration books, thereby facilitating the user's verification of the document holder's identity. Taking passport information as an example, the image acquisition module of the terminal can capture an image of the passport. After acquiring the image, the terminal can use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to recognize the text in the image, thus enabling it to obtain information about the passport holder's identity.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the card and ticket reading terminal may include a housing 1 and a light-transmitting element 4, with the light-transmitting element 4 disposed on the top structural wall 11 of the housing 1. Please refer to... Figure 2As shown, the housing 1 may be provided with an image acquisition window 111a, which extends through the top structural wall 11. A receiving cavity 1a is provided inside the housing 1, and the image acquisition module (not shown) of the ID card / ticket reader terminal can be disposed within the receiving cavity 1a. When the light-transmitting element 4 covers the image acquisition window 111a, the receiving cavity 1a is not connected to the outside of the housing 1 through the image acquisition window 111a. When a passport (not shown) is placed on the light-transmitting element 4, the image acquisition module can acquire an image of the passport located on the light-transmitting element 4, so that the ID card / ticket reader terminal can obtain information about the passport holder's identity.

[0082] The light-transmitting component 4 can be a transparent glass plate or a transparent plastic plate. The transparent plastic plate can include materials with transparent properties such as acrylic, polycarbonate, and polyimide.

[0083] Additionally, please refer to Figures 2-3 As shown, the ID card and ticket reading terminal may include a reflector 5, which may be located inside the receiving cavity 1a. The reflector 5 and the height direction (parallel to direction Z) of the ID card and ticket reading terminal have a certain angle. The reflector 5 may be located below the image acquisition window 111a. The reflector 5 may act as a mirror so that the image acquisition module 6, which is not located below the image acquisition window 111a, can indirectly acquire the image of the passport (not shown in the figure) located above the image acquisition window 111a through the reflector 5. Figure 3 The solid black triangular arrow in the middle can represent the path of light from the passport as it travels to the reflector 5 and is reflected to the image acquisition module 6.

[0084] Because passports also contain an embedded electronic chip, which can be a contactless chip or a passive tag, document and ticket reading terminals can also use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to read the passport holder's identity information stored in the electronic chip. Passports can be mainly divided into two categories, for example... Figure 4 The first type of passport shown and as Figure 5 The second type of passport shown.

[0085] In such Figure 4 The first type of passport shown and in, for example Figure 5In the second type of passport shown, passport 10 may include a photograph page 101 and an opposite side page 102. When passport 10 is closed, photograph page 101 and opposite side page 102 may be positioned opposite each other. When passport 10 is open, photograph page 101 and opposite side page 102 are not positioned opposite each other, and the angle between them is obtuse. Photograph page 101 contains a photograph 1011 of the passport holder and printed text such as the passport holder's name, gender, date of birth, and address. An intermediate page may be provided between photograph page 101 and opposite side page 102, or no intermediate page may be provided between photograph page 101 and opposite side page 102. Figure 4 In the first type of passport shown, the photo page 101 may have an embedded electronic chip 103. In such... Figure 5 In the second type of passport shown, an electronic chip 103 may be embedded in the side page 102.

[0086] To facilitate the universal and convenient reading of the electronic chip information of the above two types of passports, in some embodiments provided in this application, the card and ticket reading terminal may include the following settings.

[0087] Please refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, the top structural wall 11 of the shell 1 may include a first structural wall 111 and a second structural wall 112. The first structural wall 111 and the second structural wall 112 are distributed along a predetermined direction of the shell 1 (a direction parallel to direction X or the length direction of the shell 1). Alternatively, the second structural wall 112 can be described as an extension of the first structural wall 111. Please refer to... Figures 2-3 As shown, the first structural wall 111 is provided with an image acquisition window 111a. Please refer to... Figure 6 As shown, the light-transmitting element 4, which covers the image acquisition window (not shown in the figure), can be installed on the first structural wall 111.

[0088] Please refer to Figure 6As shown, the ID card and ticket reading terminal also includes a first radio frequency antenna 2 and a second radio frequency antenna 3. Both the first radio frequency antenna 2 and the second radio frequency antenna 3 are located within the receiving cavity 1a. At least a portion of the structure of the first radio frequency antenna 2 is located on the side of the first structural wall 111 facing the receiving cavity 1a, and at least a portion of the structure of the second radio frequency antenna 3 is located on the side of the second structural wall 112 facing the receiving cavity 1a. When the opened passport 10 is placed on the top structural wall 11, when the photo page 101 is placed on the first structural wall 111 and the light-transmitting element 4, and when the opposite page 102 is placed on the second structural wall 112, the ID card and ticket reading terminal can begin to read the passport information. On the one hand, the image acquisition module 6 can indirectly acquire the image of the photo page 101 located above the light-transmitting element 4 through the reflector 5. On the other hand, the first radio frequency antenna 2 and the second radio frequency antenna 3 can emit radio frequency signals simultaneously. When the electronic chip is embedded in the photo page 101, the electronic chip is closer to the first radio frequency antenna 2. The electronic chip can receive the energy of the radio frequency signal emitted by the first radio frequency antenna 2. The electronic chip is activated by the energy and emits a signal carrying information. The first radio frequency antenna 2 then receives the signal, thereby enabling the card and ticket reading terminal to obtain the identity information of the passport holder. Similarly, when the electronic chip is embedded in the opposite side page 102, the electronic chip is closer to the second radio frequency antenna 3. The electronic chip receives the energy of the radio frequency signal emitted by the second radio frequency antenna 3. The electronic chip is activated by the energy and emits a signal carrying information. The second radio frequency antenna 3 then receives the signal, thereby enabling the card and ticket reading terminal to obtain the identity information of the passport holder. As described above, when the passport 10 is placed on the top structural wall 11 in a predetermined manner, the ID card reader can simultaneously activate the image acquisition function and the radio frequency identification function. Furthermore, regardless of whether the electronic chip is embedded in the photo page 101 or the opposite side page 102, the ID card reader can read the information within the electronic chip through the first or second radio frequency antenna located at different positions. Compared to related technologies, ID card readers have the following drawbacks: users may need to adjust the position of the passport relative to the ID card reader to sequentially perform image acquisition and radio frequency identification, or sequentially perform radio frequency identification and image acquisition. The embodiments of the ID card reader provided in this application offer the following advantages: users do not need to adjust the position of the passport relative to the ID card reader; the ID card reader can quickly read and verify the identity information of the passport holder; specifically, it does not require image acquisition followed by radio frequency identification, or vice versa. Therefore, some embodiments of the card and ticket reading terminal provided in this application have the advantage of being more convenient in reading passport information. In other words, some embodiments of the card and ticket reading terminal provided in this application can have relatively high reading efficiency.

[0089] In addition to passports, which can be quickly read by the card and ticket reading terminal as described above, other documents or cards that contain images and text, as well as electronic chips embedded with radio frequency identification (RFID) capabilities, such as student IDs, senior citizen cards, employee IDs, passes, transportation cards, bank cards, and membership cards, can also be quickly read by the card and ticket reading terminal provided in this application.

[0090] In some embodiments, the card and ticket reading terminal can also be used to read paper documents such as tickets and vouchers.

[0091] In some embodiments, when viewed from a perspective along direction Z, please refer to... Figure 7 As shown, the first radio frequency antenna projects onto the housing along the height direction of the housing, which is the first projection range 2a. The image acquisition window projects onto the housing along the height direction of the housing, which is the second projection range 111b. The first projection range 2a and the second projection range 111b do not overlap. Under this setting, the first radio frequency antenna does not block the image acquisition window, so that the image acquisition module can acquire a relatively large range through the image acquisition window.

[0092] In some embodiments, the first radio frequency antenna may include a four-sided frame structure, and the first radio frequency antenna is provided with a light-transmitting opening extending through the height direction of the housing. Therefore, when viewed from a perspective along direction Z, the shape of the first projection range 2a can be as follows: Figure 7 The image shows a square shape, and the first projection range 2a surrounds the second projection range 111b. Under this configuration, regardless of whether the electronic chip is in the middle, top, bottom, left, or right of the photo page, during the reading process, the electronic chip is always within the readable range of the first radio frequency antenna with a four-sided frame structure, so that the first radio frequency antenna can more easily read the information within the electronic chip.

[0093] In some embodiments, the four-sided frame structure of the first radio frequency antenna 2 can be specifically as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the first radio frequency antenna 2 is provided with a light-transmitting opening 2b, which is located below the image acquisition window (not shown in the figure) and above the reflector (not shown in the figure). The image acquisition module (not shown in the figure) can acquire images through the light-transmitting opening 2b. The first radio frequency antenna 2 may also be provided with a clearance notch 2c, which is used to avoid structures (such as connecting posts or screws) that connect to the housing inside the card and ticket reading terminal. With this configuration, the internal structure of the card and ticket reading terminal housing is relatively compact, and the size of the card and ticket reading terminal can be relatively small, making it easy for the user to hold.

[0094] In some other embodiments (not shown in the figures), the first radio frequency antenna may include a U-shaped structure, a line-shaped structure, or an L-shaped structure.

[0095] In some other embodiments (not shown in the figures), the card and ticket reading terminal may include at least two separately configured first radio frequency antennas.

[0096] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 As shown, the card and ticket reading terminal also includes a bracket 7, which is located within a receiving cavity (not shown in the figure) and connected to the housing (not shown in the figure). The first radio frequency antenna 2 can be supported by the bracket 7. Please refer to... Figure 10 As shown, the first radio frequency antenna 2 can be clamped and fixed by the bracket 7 and the top structural wall 11 along the height direction of the card and ticket reading terminal (the direction parallel to direction Z) to limit the movement of the first radio frequency antenna 2 relative to the bracket 7 and the top structural wall 11, so that the first radio frequency antenna 2 is reliably located on the side of the first structural wall 111 facing the receiving cavity (not shown in the figure), thereby enabling the first radio frequency antenna 2 to reliably read the information of the electronic chip embedded in the photo page.

[0097] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 10 As shown, the top structural wall 11 also includes a pressing part 113, which protrudes into the receiving cavity (not shown) relative to the first structural wall 111. The pressing part 113 presses against the top 21 of the first radio frequency antenna 2 so that the first radio frequency antenna 2 is pressed against the bracket 7.

[0098] The first structural wall 111 and the pressing part 113 can be integrally formed or assembled separately. If the first structural wall 111 and the pressing part 113 are assembled separately, the material of the pressing part 113 can include rubber or silicone to make the pressing part 113 elastic, or to give the pressing part 113 a buffering performance, thereby reducing the possibility of the first radio frequency antenna 2 being damaged by external forces squeezing or impacting it.

[0099] In addition, the pressing part 113 may include a columnar structure, and a portion of the top 21 of the first radio frequency antenna 2 is pressed by the pressing part 113 so that the first radio frequency antenna 2 and the first structural wall 111 are spaced apart, which facilitates the rapid heat dissipation of the first radio frequency antenna 2 in the working state, thereby improving the working reliability of the first radio frequency antenna 2.

[0100] Furthermore, the top structural wall 11 may include four pressing parts 113. The connecting lines between the four pressing parts 113 (virtually set connecting lines) can form a rectangle. The pressing force on the first radio frequency antenna 2, which is pressed by the distributed pressing parts 113, is relatively uniform, which can reduce the possibility of the first radio frequency antenna 2 being deformed or broken by external force.

[0101] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 11As shown, the bracket 7 includes a support portion 71 and a first limiting portion 72. The first limiting portion 72 protrudes relative to the support portion 71 towards the top structural wall (not shown in the figure). Alternatively, the first limiting portion 72 protrudes relative to the support portion 71 in the opposite direction Z. The support portion 71 can support... Figure 10 The bottom 22 of the first radio frequency antenna 2 shown, the first limiting part 72 can be connected to, as shown in the figure Figure 8 The side portion 23 of the first radio frequency antenna 2 shown abuts against the first limiting portion 72, which can restrict the movement of the first radio frequency antenna 2 relative to the bracket 7 along the plane (parallel to the plane of direction X and direction Z), thereby enabling the first radio frequency antenna 2 to reliably read the information of the electronic chip embedded in the photo page.

[0102] Please refer to Figure 11 As shown, the bracket 7 may include four support parts 71. The connecting lines between the four support parts 71 (virtually set connecting lines) can form a rectangle. The first radio frequency antenna 2 supported by the distributed support parts 71 bears a relatively uniform supporting force, which can reduce the possibility of the first radio frequency antenna 2 being deformed or broken by external forces.

[0103] Additionally, please refer to Figure 11 As shown, the bracket 7 may include four first limiting parts 72, and the connecting lines between the four first limiting parts 72 (virtually set connecting lines) can enclose a rectangle, and the first radio frequency antenna 2 limited by the distributed first limiting parts 72 can be reliably fixed relative to the bracket 7.

[0104] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 As shown, when the first radio frequency antenna 2 includes a four-sided frame structure, the side portion 23 of the first radio frequency antenna 2 may include an inner quadrilateral wall 231 and an outer quadrilateral wall 232. The outer quadrilateral wall 232 surrounds the inner quadrilateral wall 231. The first limiting portion of the bracket (not shown in the figure) may abut against the inner side wall 231 to restrict the movement of the first radio frequency antenna 2 relative to the bracket.

[0105] As can be seen from the above, the first radio frequency antenna 2 is not fixed by additional screws or pins or other fasteners. Therefore, the internal structure of the card and ticket reading terminal is more simplified, and the weight and size of the card and ticket reading terminal are relatively small, making it easy for users to hold.

[0106] In some other embodiments (not shown in the figures), the first limiting portion of the bracket may abut against the outer wall to restrict the movement of the first radio frequency antenna relative to the bracket.

[0107] In some other embodiments (not shown in the figure), the first radio frequency antenna can be directly clamped and fixed by the first structural wall and the bracket, or the first radio frequency antenna can be fixedly connected to the first structural wall, or the first radio frequency antenna can be fixedly connected to the bracket. The structure for achieving the fixed connection may include a snap-fit ​​structure, an adhesive structure, or a screw connection structure.

[0108] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 11 As shown, the bracket 7 includes a first side plate 7a and a second side plate 7b spaced apart along the Y direction. The bracket 7 also includes a connecting plate 7c. The first side plate 7a is connected to the second side plate 7b via the connecting plate 7c. The top sides of both the first side plate 7a and the second side plate 7b are provided with the support portion 71 and the first limiting portion 72 described above. The connecting plate 7c is provided with a protruding second limiting portion 73. When the connecting plate 7c bears… Figure 12 When the second radio frequency antenna 3 is shown, the second limiting part 73 can be located within the limiting hole 31 of the second radio frequency antenna 3, so that the second radio frequency antenna 3 does not slide freely relative to the connecting plate 7c along the surface of the connecting plate 7c. The second radio frequency antenna 3 can also be fixedly connected to the connecting plate 7c by fasteners such as screws and pins (not shown in the figure).

[0109] In some other embodiments (not shown in the figure), the connecting plate may be provided with perforated holes. On the one hand, this can make the weight of the connecting plate relatively small, thereby making the weight of the card and ticket reading terminal relatively small. On the other hand, it can make the second radio frequency antenna in operation dissipate heat quickly, thereby improving the reliability of the second radio frequency antenna.

[0110] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 12 As shown, the second radio frequency antenna 3 may be provided with a clearance notch 32. The clearance notch 32 is used to avoid some connection structures inside the housing (not shown in the figure). With this setting, the internal structure of the card and ticket reading terminal is relatively compact, and the card and ticket reading terminal is relatively small in size, making it easy for the user to hold.

[0111] Please refer to Figure 6 As shown, since the passport 10 may have a certain degree of elasticity after being opened, the angle between the photo page 101 and the opposite side page 102 of the opened passport 10 is generally kept as an obtuse angle.

[0112] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1-3As shown, the second structural wall 112 extends from the first structural wall 111 along a predetermined direction (e.g., direction X or the length direction of the shell), and the second structural wall 112 slopes downward relative to the first structural wall 111. In other words, there is a predetermined obtuse angle between the first structural wall 111 and the second structural wall 112, and the second structural wall 112 is a ramp structure relative to the first structural wall 111. In this configuration, please refer to... Figure 6 As shown, when the passport 10 is placed on the top structural wall 11, the photo page 101 can be attached to the light-transmitting element 4, and the opposite side page 102 can be attached to the second structural wall 112. In other words, the passport 10 is in a suitable position for normal image acquisition and radio frequency identification, allowing the user to read it smoothly without manually pressing it. Therefore, this embodiment reduces the user's hand strain, resulting in a better user experience.

[0113] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 13 As shown, the second structural wall 112 is provided with a recess 112a that is recessed into the receiving cavity (not shown in the figure). When the passport 10 is placed on the top structural wall 11, the edge of the opposite page 102 of the passport 10 and the edge of the cover of the passport 10 can be abutted by the side wall of the recess 112a, that is, the recess 112a can have a limiting function, so that the opposite page 102 of the passport 10 is not easy to slide freely relative to the inclined second structural wall 112, and thus the photo page 101 is not easy to slide freely relative to the first structural wall 111 and the light-transmitting element 4. Therefore, the passport reader can read the passport information smoothly without the user's hand maintaining the position of the passport relative to the card and ticket reader.

[0114] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 14 As shown, the card and ticket reader terminal also includes a clamping member 8, located outside the housing 1. The clamping member 8 includes a clamping part 81, a mounting part 82, and a torsion spring (not shown in the figure). The clamping part 81 is rotatably connected to the mounting part 82, and the clamping part 81 is also connected to the mounting part 82 via the torsion spring. The mounting part 82 is connected to the first structural wall 111. In this configuration, when the passport is placed on the top structural wall 11, the clamping member 8 can clamp the passport to the top structural wall 11 to restrict the movement of the passport relative to the top structural wall 11. Specifically, the clamping part 81 can be rotated relative to the mounting part 82 so that a portion of the passport structure can be located between the clamping part 81 and the top light-transmitting element 4. During the rotation of the clamping part 81 relative to the mounting part 82, the clamping part 81 also needs to overcome the elastic force of the torsion spring so that the torsion spring can accumulate elastic potential energy. When the torsion spring releases the elastic potential energy, the clamping part 81 has a tendency to reset relative to the mounting part 82, so that the clamping part 81 can clamp the passport to the light-transmitting part 4.

[0115] Please refer to Figure 14 As shown, the clamping member 8 may include an extension 83, and the mounting part 82 is integrally formed with the extension 83. The extension 83 is also connected to the first structural wall 111. The mounting part 82 and the extension 83 can form an L-shaped structure. In other words, the projection of the mounting part 82 and the extension 83 along the Z direction onto the top structural wall 11 is an L-shaped structure. With this configuration, the clamping member 8 does not obstruct the passport on the Y side, facilitating the movement of the passport in the opposite direction Y to place it on the top structural wall 11, and facilitating the movement of the passport along the Y direction to detach it from the top structural wall 11. Therefore, the direction of passport removal and placement is not limited to directions parallel to the X direction and directions parallel to the Z direction, thereby facilitating the user's hand movements.

[0116] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 15 As shown, the ID card and ticket reader terminal also includes a light shield 9, which is located outside the housing 1. The light shield 9 includes a top light shield 91 and a side light shield 92, which are connected. The top light shield 91 is located above the light-transmitting element 4, and is spaced apart from the light-transmitting element 4 to leave space for placing a passport between them. The side light shield 92 is located around the light-transmitting element 4. The light shield 9 is used to reduce the amount of light outside the ID card and ticket reader terminal that can reach the light-transmitting element 4, thereby reducing the interference of external light on the image acquisition module and allowing the image acquisition module to quickly acquire a clearer image.

[0117] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the bottom end of the side light-shielding portion 92 may be located at the edge of the top structural wall 11, or at least a portion of the bottom end of the side light-shielding portion 92 may be located at the edge of the first structural wall 111.

[0118] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the bottom end of the side light-shielding portion 92 may be located on the periphery of the top structural wall 11. Alternatively, at least a portion of the bottom end of the side light-shielding portion 92 may be located on the periphery of the first structural wall 111.

[0119] In some embodiments, a portion of the bottom end of the side light-shielding portion 92 may be located at the edge of the top structural wall 11, and another portion of the bottom end of the side light-shielding portion 92 may be located at the periphery of the top structural wall 11. Alternatively, a portion of the bottom end of the side light-shielding portion 92 may be located at the edge of the first structural wall 111, and another portion of the bottom end of the side light-shielding portion 92 may be located at the periphery of the first structural wall 111.

[0120] In some embodiments, Figure 15 The shape of the side light-shielding portion 92 shown, along the height direction of the housing 1 (the direction parallel to direction Z) and within the range of its projection on the housing 1, includes, as follows: Figure 16 The L-shape shown is Figure 15The side light-shielding part 92 shown has a projection range along the height direction of the housing 1 on the housing 1 as follows: Figure 16 As shown in the third projection range 92a, according to this setting, the side light shield 92 does not obstruct the passport on one side in the Y direction, which facilitates the passport to be moved in the opposite direction Y to be placed on the top structural wall 11, and facilitates the passport to be moved in the Y direction to detach from the top structural wall 11. Therefore, the direction of passport removal and placement is not limited to the direction parallel to the X direction and the direction parallel to the Z direction, thereby facilitating the user's hand movements.

[0121] The side light-shielding part 92 can be fixedly connected to the housing 1 described above (e.g., snap-fit ​​or screw connection), and the side light-shielding part 92 can also be fixedly connected to the extension part 83 described above (e.g., snap-fit ​​or screw connection).

[0122] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 17 As shown, the card and ticket reading terminal may include both the clamping member 8 and the light shield 9, which are disposed on the housing 1 as described above.

[0123] In some embodiments, the card and ticket reader can be connected to other electronic devices (such as mobile phones or computers) or a server network. The card and ticket reader can be applied in scenarios requiring identity verification. For example, it can be used in the transportation industry to verify passenger identity information, or in the cultural and tourism industry to verify ticket purchaser identity information, or in the security inspection industry to verify the identity information of the person being inspected.

[0124] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
