Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of self-service equipment technology, and more specifically, relates to a simple card-insertion self-eliminating static electricity cleaning and prevention device. Background Technology

[0002] When using self-service machines in financial institutions, banks, hospitals, and other locations to process bank card and ID card transactions, environmental factors and user behavior can cause static electricity to build up on the card surface. This static electricity can interfere with internal components, reducing the success rate of card reading. Dirt and dust on the card surface can also cause blurry images during scanning, leading to failed transactions or the need to re-process the transaction, thus lowering the customer's experience. Furthermore, illegally installed skimming / spying devices can easily be added to the card slot, allowing for unauthorized reading of the magnetic stripe information on bank cards and ID cards. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: a simple card insertion self-eliminating static electricity cleaning and prevention device is provided, comprising: a shell, a card detection sensor, a brush bracket, and a driving component; the shell is provided with a card insertion slot, the card detection sensor is disposed on the inner side of the shell, the brush bracket is movably disposed on the inner side of the shell, the driving component is disposed on the inner side of the shell and is connected to the brush bracket for transmission, the driving component drives the brush bracket to reciprocate and move perpendicular to the card insertion direction, and the brush bracket is provided with an upper static brush and a lower static brush, which are respectively used to contact the upper and lower surfaces of the inserted card.

[0005] In one embodiment, the driving element is an electromagnet, and the brush holder is connected to the moving core of the electromagnet.

[0006] In one embodiment, the electromagnet is a push-pull electromagnet, and the brush holder reciprocates when the electromagnet is alternately energized and de-energized.

[0024] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0025] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a simple card insertion self-eliminating static electricity cleaning and prevention device provided in this application embodiment will now be described. This simple card insertion self-eliminating static electricity cleaning and prevention device is installed on a self-service device 14, which can be a financial self-service device used by a bank or a self-service device used in other locations. Specifically, the device is installed on the outside of the card slot of the self-service device 14, which can be an ID card slot, a bank card slot, etc.; the card 13 can be a bank card, ID card, etc.

[0026] This simple card-insertion self-disinfecting cleaning and prevention device includes: a housing 1, a card detection sensor 2, a brush holder 3, and a driving component 4. The housing 1 is a box structure with a card insertion slot 5 aligned with the card slot on the self-service device 14. The card detection sensor 2 is located inside the housing 1 to detect whether a card 13 is inserted. The brush holder 3 is movably mounted inside the housing 1. The driving component 4 is located inside the housing 1 and is connected to the brush holder 3. The driving component 4 drives the brush holder 3 to reciprocate perpendicular to the card insertion direction. The brush holder 3 has an upper electrostatic brush 6 and a lower electrostatic brush 7, which respectively contact the upper and lower surfaces of the inserted card 13. The reciprocating motion of the upper and lower electrostatic brushes 6 and 7 automatically eliminates static electricity and cleans the card 13.

[0027] Preferably, in this embodiment, the driving component 4 is an electromagnet, and the brush holder 3 is connected to the moving core of the electromagnet. When the electromagnet is energized and de-energized, the moving core reciprocates. Specifically, the electromagnet is a push-pull type, and the moving core of the push-pull electromagnet is connected to a return spring. When the electromagnet is de-energized, the return spring causes the moving core to return to its initial position; when the electromagnet is energized, the moving core moves a certain distance. Therefore, in this embodiment, the alternating energization and de-energization of the electromagnet causes the brush holder 3 to reciprocate, thereby realizing the reciprocating motion of the upper electrostatic brush 6 and the lower electrostatic brush 7. In this embodiment, the reciprocating stroke of the brush holder 3 is 3-5 mm.

[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, the brush holder 3 is an inverted F-shaped holder, including a vertical plate, an upper horizontal plate and a lower horizontal plate. The vertical plate is connected to the moving core of the solenoid valve. An upper electrostatic brush 6 is installed on the lower surface of the upper horizontal plate, and a lower electrostatic brush 7 is installed on the upper surface of the lower horizontal plate. The ID card 13 is inserted between the upper electrostatic brush 6 and the lower electrostatic brush 7.

[0029] Preferably, the card detection sensor 2 is a U-shaped sensor; the opening of the U-shaped sensor is set horizontally, so that when the card 13 is inserted, it will pass through the opening of the U-shaped sensor and be detected by the U-shaped sensor.

[0030] In this embodiment, an anomaly detection sensor 8 is also provided inside the outer casing 1, and a detection hole 9 is provided on the outer casing 1. The anomaly detection sensor 8 detects foreign objects on the outside of the outer casing 1 through the detection hole 9. Under normal conditions, the detection hole 9 is not blocked. When an illegal skimming device is installed, the detection hole 9 is blocked. At this time, the anomaly detection sensor 8 detects the anomaly and issues an alarm to improve security.

[0031] In this embodiment, a support plate 10 is provided on the inner side of the outer casing 1 along the card insertion direction, spaced apart from the card insertion port 5. The upper surface of the support plate 10 is lower than the bottom surface of the card insertion port 5. When the card 13 is inserted, as the length of the card 13 gradually increases, the support plate 10 can effectively prevent the front end of the card 13 from falling out.

[0032] In this embodiment, the brush holder 3 is a metal frame, and the brush holder 3 is connected to a grounding cable 11. The grounding cable 11 is connected to the grounding system of the self-service equipment 14 to conduct away static electricity.

[0033] In this embodiment, the outer casing 1 has four mounting holes 12 located on its inner side. The outer casing 1 is fixed to the outside of the card slot of the self-service device 14 by screws engaging with the mounting holes 12. Specifically, during installation, screws are installed on the inner side of the casing of the self-service device 14, and the screws are threaded into the mounting holes 12 to fix the outer casing 1 to the self-service device 14, ensuring the secure installation of the outer casing 1 and preventing it from being disassembled by non-staff members.

[0034] During operation, the device is mounted on the self-service machine 14 and electrically connected to the control panel on the self-service machine 14. When the self-service machine 14 is powered on, the card detection sensor 2 constantly detects whether a card 13 is inserted into the card insertion slot 5. If so, it automatically performs static elimination and cleaning. At the same time, the foreign object detection sensor constantly detects whether the detection hole 9 is blocked to determine whether there is an illegally installed skimming device in the card insertion slot 5. If the detection hole 9 is blocked for more than a predetermined time, such as 1 minute, the self-service machine 14 will suspend service and sound an alarm.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
