Fig. 1 is a front view of a kiosk 10 according to an embodiment of the invention. Fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a diagram of the operation of fig. 1. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in the present embodiment, the kiosk 10 includes a housing 100, a human interface device 200, and a lifting device 300. The housing 100 has a housing 110 and at least one slot 130. The housing 110 contains an interior space 120 (fig. 2). The slot 130 is located on the housing 110 and communicates with the internal space 120. In the present embodiment, the housing 110 includes a plurality of side wall surfaces 111, the side wall surfaces 111 surround the internal space 120, and two slots 130 are linearly formed in parallel on one side wall surface 111 (hereinafter referred to as a front surface 111A) of the housing 110. The human interface device 200 is located outside the inner space 120 and covers the slot 130 and the front surface 111A with the slot 130. A portion of the lifting device 300 is located in the inner space 120 of the housing 100, and another portion of the lifting device extends out of the housing 100 through the slot 130 and is fixed to the human interface device 200, so as to drive the human interface device 200 to lift and adjust the height position of the human interface device 200 relative to the housing 100 (fig. 3).

Thus, since the height position of the human interface device 200 relative to the housing 100 can be adjusted, the kiosk 10 of the present embodiment can satisfy a wider variety of service objects, such as a customer in a wheelchair, a customer in a car, or a child with insufficient height, thereby improving the operation experience and shortening the operation time.

In addition, since the length of the slot 130 is less than the length of the human interface device 200, no matter the human interface device 200 ascends or descends to the maximum, the slot 130 can be covered behind the human interface device 200, so that the lifting device 300 can be completely hidden in the housing 100 to form a hidden lifting structure, thereby enhancing the appearance integrity and the use safety of the kiosk 10.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, more specifically, the lifting device 300 includes a motor 310, a screw 320 and a connecting portion 330. The motor 310 is located within the interior space 120. The motor 310 includes a main body 311 and a rotating shaft 312. The main body 311 is connected to the rotating shaft 312 for driving the rotating shaft 312 to rotate. For example, the host 311 is a motor device (e.g., a servo motor or a stepping motor). The screw 320 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 312, and the outer surface of the screw 320 is provided with threads. The connecting portion 330 includes a structural body 331 and an extending rib 333. The structure body 331 has a screw hole 332. The screw hole 332 is inserted by the screw 320, and the inner surface of the screw hole 332 has an internal thread (not shown), and the internal thread and the external thread 321 are screwed together, so that the structure body 331 is located on the screw 320 in a liftable manner. The extending rib 333 is fixed to the structure body 331 and passes through the slot 130 to be fixed to the human interface device 200.

Thus, when the rotating shaft 312 of the main body 311 rotates the screw 320, the connecting portion 330 can be relatively lifted along a vertical axis V on the screw 320, and therefore the connecting portion 330 can drive the human-machine interface device 200 to be lifted or lowered along the slot 130.

It should be understood that the longitudinal direction L of the screw 320, the longitudinal direction L of the slot 130 and the vertical axis V are parallel to each other, and the vertical axis V is parallel to the gravity line (i.e., the plumb line).

More specifically, the motor 310 is located below the inner space 120, for example, the motor 310 is fixed to the inner bottom surface 112 of the housing 110, i.e., the motor 310 is located at a lower position of the housing 110 than the position of the slot 130 on the housing 110. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the motor 310 may be located at a position higher than the slot 130, for example, the motor 310 is fixed to the inner top surface 113 of the housing 110.

In addition, the orthographic projection of the screw 320 to the front surface 111A and the orthographic projection of the human interface device 200 to the front surface 111A at least partially overlap (fig. 1). However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the configuration of the screw and the human interface device is not limited to be staggered with each other in other embodiments.

However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the motor may be a servo electric cylinder, a linear accelerator, or other drivers; alternatively, the lifting device may include a combination of a stepping motor and a belt.

In the present embodiment, the human interface device 200 includes a device body 210 and a display screen 230. The extending rib 333 of the lifting device 300 passes through the slot 130 to fixedly connect the device body 210. The display screens 230 are respectively located on one side of the device body 210 opposite to the slot 130. The display screen 230 is, for example, a touch screen or other similar devices.

However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the hmi device 200 may not have a display screen and only have a transaction operation area, such as a coin/money slot, an RFID sensor point or a button, etc. of a known structure.

Furthermore, the kiosk 10 further includes a camera 400. The photographing device 400 is located on the housing 100. Thus, the camera 400 can capture images of the whole body of the user for determining the lifting/lowering range of the human interface device 200. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the camera device 400 is not limited to the human interface device of the kiosk or other locations as long as it can obtain the whole body image or part of the image of the user.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the housing 100 of the kiosk 10 further includes support legs 150 (such as a stand or a foot stand). The supporting legs 150 of the casing 100 are used for being placed on the ground. However, the present invention is not limited to the case 100 being placed on the ground or being hung on a wall.

It should be understood that the kiosk 10 is not limited to the types of kiosks, ticket kiosks, payment kiosks, or cash kiosks, and the human interface device 200 can be configured with the corresponding specification structure according to the types of kiosks 10 in the present embodiment.

Fig. 4A is an external view of a kiosk 11 according to an embodiment of the invention. FIG. 4B is a top view of the kiosk 11 of FIG. 4A. As shown in fig. 4A and 4B, the kiosk 11 of this embodiment is substantially the same as the kiosk 10, except that the device body 210 of the human interface device 200 is U-shaped, such that a concave space 220 is formed on a surface of the device body 210 of the human interface device 200 facing away from the display screen 230. The recessed space 220 receives the slot 130 of the housing 110 and a portion of the housing 110. More specifically, three of the mutually adjacent side wall surfaces of the housing 110 of the kiosk 11 are a front surface 111A and two adjacent surfaces 111B thereof, and the front surface 111A is located between the two adjacent surfaces 111B and abuts against the two adjacent surfaces 111B, respectively.

Thus, when the hmi device 200 is attached to the housing 110, the front surface 111A and the two adjacent surfaces 111B of the housing 110 are respectively located in the recessed space 220, so that the hmi device 200 can be lifted and lowered on the front surface 111A and the adjacent surfaces 111B of the housing 110 at the same time.

Fig. 5 is an external view of the kiosk 12 according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the kiosk 12 of this embodiment is substantially the same as the kiosk 10 of FIG. 1, except that the front 111A of the housing 100 further includes a linear groove 140. The slot 130 of the housing 100 is located within the linear groove 140. The human interface device 200 is elevationally positioned within the linear groove 140. More specifically, three of the mutually adjoining side faces 211 of the device body 210 of the human interface device 200 are located in the linear grooves 140, respectively. Thus, when the human interface device 200 is attached to the housing 100, the human interface device 200 can be lifted in the linear groove 140.

In addition, in the kiosk 12, the width W of the linear groove 140 is equal to the width W of the human interface device 200, so that the human interface device 200 is just embedded in the linear groove 140 to be integrated with the housing 100 of the kiosk 12 for aesthetic appearance.

If the kiosk 12 is designed to be hung on a wall, the housing 100 further includes a hanging portion 160. Through the action of the hanging portion 160, the housing 100 of the kiosk 12 can be fixed on a wall to make room below the floor.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, it should be understood that various changes and modifications can be made therein by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and should not be taken as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
