Herein, "a" means not only "only this one" but also "more than one" case.

It should be further understood that the term "and/or" as used in the present specification and the appended claims refers to any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, and includes such combinations.

In this context, it should be noted that the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" are to be construed broadly, and may be, for example, fixedly connected, detachably connected, or integrally connected, unless explicitly stated or limited otherwise; can be mechanically or electrically connected; can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and can be communication between two elements. The specific meaning of the above terms in the present utility model will be understood in specific cases by those of ordinary skill in the art.

In addition, in the description of the present utility model, the terms "first," "second," and the like are used merely to distinguish between descriptions and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1 to 3 of the drawings, a POS machine with a waterproof function is described, which is configured by mutually matching a front shell 110 and an IC card seat 130, so that a certain angle is formed between the IC card seat 130 and a bottom shell 120, meanwhile, the rest side walls of the IC card seat 130 except for the first opening are all sealed, and external moisture can only enter the IC card seat through a bayonet 111 and cannot enter the POS machine, so that damage of moisture to electronic components in the POS machine is avoided.

Specifically, referring to fig. 1 to 5 of the drawings, a POS machine with waterproof function includes a housing 100 and an IC card holder 130, and specifically, fig. 1 to 5 of the drawings only show a partial region of the housing 100, the housing 100 includes a front case 110 and a bottom case 120, and the front case 110 is disposed on the bottom case 120. It should be noted that the IC card holder 130 is disposed on the front shell 110, and as shown in fig. 3 of the drawings, a side of the IC card holder 130 away from the front shell 110 is disposed in a direction away from the bottom shell 120, so that an angle is formed between the IC card holder and the bottom shell 120.

Further, a first opening is provided on one side wall of the IC card holder 130, and the remaining side walls of the IC card holder 130 are all sealing surfaces, so that moisture can flow into and out of the IC card holder 130 only through the first opening. Then, the IC card holder 130 is provided with a card insertion cavity communicating with the first opening. The front case 110 is provided with a card insertion opening 111 at a position corresponding to the first opening, and the card insertion opening 111 communicates with the first opening and the card insertion cavity. It is noted that, the side wall of the IC card holder 130 provided with the first opening and the side of the front shell 110 provided with the card slot 111 are sealed at the connection position, so that external moisture cannot enter into the POS machine through the connection position of the IC card holder 130 and the front shell 110. In use, a user can insert an IC card into the card insertion cavity of the IC card holder 130 through the card insertion opening 111 on the front case 110 and the first opening on the IC card holder 130 to perform card reading. Accordingly, the IC card holder 130 and the front case 110 may be sealed at the connection point by bonding, welding, mounting a gasket, or the like.
