Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an automated teller machine and belongs to the field of self-service equipment technology. Background Technology

[0002] With the global deployment of financial self-service equipment, the application of ATMs in outdoor scenarios is becoming increasingly widespread. Unlike cash deposit and withdrawal machines (CRS) that are generally equipped with protective enclosures in China, cash machines in overseas markets are mostly installed independently in the open air. Their key components, such as the faceplate and upper frame, are exposed to the natural environment for extended periods, facing severe challenges such as dust penetration and rain erosion. In existing technologies, while whole-machine sealing solutions can improve protection performance, they significantly increase manufacturing costs and heat dissipation burden. Considering the special characteristics of outdoor operating conditions, there is an urgent need to develop a localized reinforced protection design: while ensuring the safety of the core areas of the equipment (such as the cash box and circuit modules), targeted dust and water protection treatment should only be applied to the faceplate components and upper frame structure directly exposed to the outside, thereby balancing environmental adaptability, economy, and operational efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the problems in the background art, the present invention provides an automated teller machine to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of this utility model is: An automated teller machine, This includes the ATM cabinet, the ATM cover, and the machine core installed inside the cabinet; The front end of the teller machine cover is provided with an operating platform that slopes from top to bottom and forward, forming a human-computer interaction slope for user operation; A track is provided between the teller machine cover and the teller machine housing to facilitate sliding. The teller machine cover can be pushed in or pushed out horizontally relative to the teller machine housing in the horizontal direction. The faceplate of the teller machine is aligned with the edge of the teller machine body in both the height and width directions; A waterproof sealing strip is installed at the contact point between the ATM chassis and the ATM cover.

[0005] When maintenance is required, simply pull the ATM cover horizontally to expose the internal structure. After maintenance, push the cover back into the ATM housing, aligning the waterproof seal between the housing and the cover. Then, secure the cover in place. The cover and housing can be secured with clips or other methods, ensuring the waterproof seal remains intact.

[0006] Further or alternatively, in order to facilitate drainage and avoid water accumulation at corners on the operating table surface, which could damage internal electronic components, the operating table surface of the teller machine cover protrudes from the front surface of the teller machine housing, forming a continuous protruding contour structure with the teller machine housing and maintenance door. In this case, when rainwater falls on the operating table surface, it can be directly discharged along the contour structure.

[0007] Further or alternatively, to facilitate modular production, the teller machine's control panel integrates a cash dispensing slot, a customer display screen, an electric card reader, a receipt printer, a keypad, a fingerprint scanner, and contactless IC and ID card readers.

[0008] Further or alternatively, in order to prevent rainwater from entering the device from the card reader and causing damage, a water guiding channel is provided at the edge of the electric card reader and the receipt printer; the water guiding channel includes an external water guiding channel located on one side of the ATM cover and an internal water guiding channel facing the inside of the ATM, the external water guiding channel is provided with a drainage notch, the internal channel is provided with a liquid collection tank below it, the bottom of the liquid collection tank is provided with a drain hole, and a drain pipe is provided below the drain hole, the drain pipe being connected to the outside of the ATM.

[0009] Further, or optionally, to improve waterproofing and dustproofing capabilities and reduce subsequent maintenance, sealing grooves are provided on the ATM chassis and ATM cover. The waterproof sealing strip is a ring-shaped or segmented elastic silicone strip, embedded in the sealing groove. During use, the waterproof sealing strip, when compressed, fits more tightly against the ATM chassis and ATM cover, achieving better waterproofing. During use, the waterproof sealing strip will gradually age; when aging occurs, it can be directly replaced to maintain waterproofing performance.

[0010] Further, or optionally, to enable the aforementioned ATM to withstand splashed liquid from the sides and above in heavy rain or high humidity environments, and to effectively prevent water seepage from the wall from corroding the core components, the side wall of the ATM housing is also equipped with a detachable through-wall frame. This through-wall frame encloses the ATM faceplate, forming an operating space. In use, the through-wall frame is placed on both sides of the ATM faceplate, enclosing it to form a semi-closed waterproof door. The through-wall frame is detachably fixed to the ATM housing. During installation, the through-wall frame is secured to the housing using a snap-fit ​​structure or screws, thus fixing the through-wall frame within the wall.

[0011] Further or alternatively, in order to continuously maintain the waterproof and dustproof barrier of the ATM cover and prevent liquid from entering the core circuit located below the ATM cover through the interface, thereby extending the service life of the equipment, the keypad, fingerprint reader, and contactless IC card and ID card reader are fixed on the ATM cover, and the contact positions of the keypad, fingerprint reader, and contactless IC card and ID card reader with the ATM cover are abutted by elastic sealing silicone sheets.
