The first cavity 16 and the second cavity 17 are arranged along the X-axis direction and communicate with each other.

[0018] Specifically, the first housing 13 has a first sub-cavity 131. The opening of the first sub-cavity 131 facing the negative Z-axis direction faces the second housing 14, and the opening of the first sub-cavity 131 facing the positive X-axis direction communicates with the second cavity 17. The second housing 14 includes a main body 141 and a support portion 142. The main body 141 is fixedly connected to the third housing 15, and the support portion 142 is located at the end of the main body 141 away from the third housing 15. Both the main body 141 and the support portion 142 are fixedly connected to the first housing 13.

The end of the sound-emitting surface 1422 away from the third surface 1412 is inclined downward relative to the third surface 1412, and the end of the second mounting surface 12 away from the sound-emitting surface 1422 is inclined upward relative to the third surface 1412, thereby causing the support portion 142 to protrude from the surface of the main body 141 away from the first housing 13, that is, the support portion 142 protrudes from the third surface 1412. A first included angle α is formed between the first mounting surface 11 and the second mounting surface 12, which is greater than 40 degrees and less than 60 degrees. A second included angle b is formed between the sound-emitting surface 1422 and the third surface 1412, which is less than 180 degrees. The sound-emitting surface 1422 is provided with a sound-emitting hole 1423, which communicates with the receiving cavity 1421.

[0021] In this embodiment, the control module 50 includes a circuit board 51, a battery 52, and a chip 53. One end of the circuit board 51 is located in the first cavity 16, and the other end is located in the second cavity 17.

In other embodiments, the chip 53 and the battery 52 may also be stacked on opposite sides of the circuit board 51. One end of the palmprint module 20 is installed in the first mounting hole 111, and the other end of the palmprint module 20 is located in the first cavity 16. The palmprint module 20 is electrically connected to the circuit board 51. The end face of the palmprint module 20 facing away from the first cavity 16 is flush with the first surface 132. The palmprint module 20 is used to identify the user's palmprint to complete cashiering or identity verification, etc.

[0022] The barcode scanning module 40 is disposed in the receiving cavity 1421 and the third mounting hole 121. The barcode scanning module 40 includes a scanning terminal 41 and a protective cover 42. The protective cover 42 is installed in the third mounting hole 121, and the scanning terminal 41 is disposed in the receiving cavity 1421 of the support part 142 and electrically connected to the circuit board 51. The barcode scanning module 40 is used to identify images such as barcodes and QR codes to complete cashier or identity verification. The scanning terminal 41 is used to capture images such as barcodes and QR codes, and the protective cover 42 is used to protect the scanning terminal 41.

[0023] A speaker 60 is disposed in the receiving cavity 1421. The speaker 60 is located on the side of the scanning dock 41 away from the first housing 13. The speaker 60 is opposite to the sound outlet 1423 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 51. The speaker 60 is used to announce the interaction status of the interactive device 100, such as announcing the successful payment when the interactive device 100 successfully completes the transaction.

[0024] The screen 30 is mounted in the second mounting hole 112. The screen 30 is stacked on the side of the battery 52 facing away from the circuit board 51, resulting in a more compact structure and facilitating miniaturization. The screen 30 is electrically connected to the circuit board 51. The end face of the screen 30 facing away from the battery 52 is flush with the second surface 151. In this embodiment, the screen 30 is a touchscreen, allowing staff to control the interactive device 100. For example, when the interactive device 100 is used for payment, the amount can be set via the screen 30.

[0025] In this embodiment, both the screen 30 and the palmprint module 20 are integrated into the first mounting surface 11. The surfaces of both the screen 30 and the palmprint module 20 are flush with the first mounting surface 11, making the top of the interactive device 100 flatter and the structure more compact, thus reducing the size of the interactive device 100 and saving space. Simultaneously, the interactive device 100 integrates the palmprint module 20, the barcode scanning module 40, and the screen 30. The palmprint module 20 can perform palmprint recognition, and the barcode scanning module 40 can perform barcode scanning recognition. The interactive device 100 has more complete functions, and staff can control the interactive device 100 through the screen 30, which helps improve the user experience.

[0026] In this embodiment, the outer shell 10 is divided into a first shell 13, a second shell 14 and a third shell 15, which facilitates processing, makes assembly convenient, and helps reduce costs.

[0027] In this embodiment, by designing the support part 142, when the interactive device 100 is placed on the table, the support part 142 and the end of the third housing 15 away from the support part 142 are supported on the table, and the screen 30 is tilted towards the worker, making it easier for the worker to view and operate the screen 30. Furthermore, there is a gap between the housing 10 and the table, making it convenient for the worker to pick up the interactive device 100 from the table. Simultaneously, the support part 142 is provided with a receiving cavity 1421, in which the scanning port 41 and the speaker 60 are both installed, resulting in a compact structure that facilitates miniaturization design.

[0028] In this embodiment, the first included angle α is designed to be greater than 40 degrees and less than 60 degrees. When the staff holds the interactive device 100, the palm print module 20 and the screen 30 face upwards, facilitating the consumer's palm scan and the staff's operation of the screen 30. Furthermore, the scanning module 40 is tilted downwards, making it convenient for the staff to hold the interactive device 100 to scan QR codes or other images on another electronic device, thus improving the user experience. The second included angle β is designed to be less than 180 degrees, ensuring that when the interactive device 100 is placed on a table, there is a gap between the sound-emitting surface 1422 and the table surface, preventing the sound-emitting hole 1423 from being blocked by the table surface and affecting the sound output effect.

[0031] The system includes a camera 211 for capturing the user's palm print, a sensor 212 for recognizing the user's palm print as it approaches the palm print module 20, and a command sent to the main module 21, which then controls the camera 211 to capture the print. The first light-emitting element 213 is an RGB LED, and a light guide ring 22 directs the light from the first light-emitting element 213. The first light-emitting element 213 can emit different colors to interact with the user. For example, different colors can be used to prompt the user to adjust their posture or to indicate whether the palm print was successful or not, which facilitates human-computer interaction and improves the user experience.

[0032] The second light source 214 is a white LED light bead, and the third light source 215 is an infrared fill light. The light sources of the second light source 214 and the third light source 215 can be diffused to the outside of the housing 10 through the light source diffuser plate 23. The light sources of the second light source 214 and the third light source 215 can provide supplementary lighting for the camera 211 and the sensor 212. When the user swipes their palm, the sensor 212 and the camera 211 can capture clear images of the palm print and palm veins.
