Description

The shell structure of the card reading device

Technical field:

The utility model relates to a housing structure of a card reading device, and in particular to the design of the engaging structure of the upper and lower covers of the housing structure.

Background technique:

Due to the development and progress of science and technology, people's life requirements are more convenient, and the combined development of vending machines and cards is also in line with the needs of today's people.

Please refer to Figure 1 for a schematic diagram of the current vending machine combined with cards. In FIG. 1 , a card reader 11 may be provided on the vending machine 10 . A card identification unit 111 can usually be added on the card reader 11 to identify the authenticity of the card 12. The identification method can usually read the preset mark on the surface of the card 12 by a sensor 112, and then use a The processor 113 performs its analysis and comparison. However, the function of the card reader is becoming more and more complicated and sophisticated. The designer of the card reader 11 or the maintainer entrusted with it often needs to periodically or irregularly open the card reader 11 to carry out its internal maintenance. Updates that may occur to its internal software or firmware or hardware components. One of the more common maintenance tasks may be a cleaning job. But its card reader 11 is usually locked with its several screws (not shown), and the maintainer must use tools to loosen the screws one by one to disassemble the card reader 11 or only disassemble its upper cover 114, and After the required tasks are completed, the loose screws need to be locked back one by one. In this regard, the utility model provides a novel housing structure of the card reading device to reduce the workload of its designers or maintainers.

In addition, in addition to being used in vending machines or game machines, card readers are very popular in trading places such as many shops, but their maintenance or updating work still needs to be as complicated as the above-mentioned vending machine examples. In view of this, the utility model also provides a novel housing structure of the card reading device to simplify its maintenance or renewal complexity.

Utility model content:

The main purpose of the utility model is to propose a housing structure of a card reader to simplify complex procedures such as maintenance or update of a conventional card reader.

The secondary purpose of this utility model is to propose a housing structure for a card reading device on a vending machine, a game machine or related machinery and equipment to reduce the workload of its conventional designers or maintainers.

To achieve the above purpose, the housing structure of the card reading device provided by the present invention at least includes an upper cover structure and a lower cover structure. In addition, at least one side of the upper cover structure of the housing structure is provided with an elastic hook and an engaging groove, corresponding to the elastic hook and the engaging groove, and the corresponding side of the lower cover structure is also provided with an engaging protrusion and a supporting shaft. Please note that the card reading device can also be replaced by other data reading devices, such as coin eaters or other related reading devices. In other words, the present invention uses the housing structure of the card reading device as a preferred embodiment to clearly illustrate the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the shell structure disclosed here is not limited to the card reading device, but can be used in any reading device.

When the upper cover structure wants to cover the lower cover structure, the engagement groove of the upper cover structure and the supporting shaft post can be pre-fitted. At this time, the joint between the upper cover structure and the lower cover structure is formed. One fit. Continuously, the elastic hook is used to produce its displacement action at the location where the upper cover structure is set by its elasticity, so that the upper cover structure and the lower cover structure can be closed first. Finally, the force in the opposite direction derived from the displacement of the elastic hook enables the elastic hook to return to its original position before the displacement. This action also enables the elastic hook to engage with the engaging protrusion of the lower cover structure , forming an upper cover structure that can be tightly engaged with the lower cover structure.

Therefore, the housing structure of the card reader device provided by the above-mentioned utility model not only reduces the work burden on the designer or its maintainer in the prior art, but also simplifies the maintenance or renewal of conventional card readers. program. It is actually where the beneficial effects of the utility model lie.
