Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of sales terminals, and in particular, to a sales terminal. Background Art

[0002] A point of sales (POS) is a multi-functional terminal. By installing the sales terminal in the special merchants and acceptance outlets of credit cards and connecting it to the network, functions such as consumption, pre-authorization, balance inquiry, and transfer can be supported.

[0003] A sales terminal usually only has an interface for salespersons. Currently, some sales terminals also have an interface for customers on the back of the interface for salespersons. However, when checking out, customers are used to staring at the scanning process of the purchased goods in front of them and are worried about incorrect scanning of goods. They rarely pay attention to the customer interface, which actually wastes the display interface for customers. Summary of the Invention

The controller is respectively connected to the first display screen, the second display screen, a communication module, a power supply module, a barcode scanner, a card information reader, and a printer. The outlet of the printer is arranged at the top of the main unit body.

[0007] Preferably, the controller is further connected to a speaker, and the speaker is arranged on one side of the second display screen.

[0008] Preferably, the housing is provided with heat dissipation holes.

[0009] Preferably, the controller is connected to a cooling fan.

[0010] Preferably, the loading platform is provided with a transparent plate on the surface of the second display screen.

[0011] Preferably, the depth of the installation groove is not greater than the height of the housing.

[0012] Preferably, the loading platform is a flat plate rotatably connected to one side of the installation groove.

[0013] Preferably, the first display screen is a touch screen.

[0014] Preferably, the controller is connected to the cloud platform through a communication module.

[0015] Preferably, the second display screen is provided with a switch, and the switch is arranged on the side of the loading platform facing the salesperson.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. A second display screen facing the customer is arranged on the surface of the loading platform, which is convenient for the customer to view the commodity price, enabling the customer to simultaneously pay attention to the scanned commodity and its price, thus improving convenience.

[0018] 2. The main unit is arranged in the installation slot of the sales counter, avoiding blocking the salesperson and facilitating communication with the customer.

[0019] 3. The loading platform is a flat plate rotatably connected to one side of the installation slot and can be used as a channel door panel, saving space. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. This embodiment is implemented on the premise of the technical solution of the present invention, and detailed implementation manners and specific operation processes are given, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0023] Embodiment

[0024] As Figure 1 shown, the present application provides a sales terminal, including a sales counter and a main unit 1. The upper surface of the sales counter is provided with a concave installation slot 7 for placing the main unit 1, reducing the blockage of the sales terminal to the salesperson. One side of the installation slot 7 is a loading platform 6. Among them, the depth of the installation slot 7 is not greater than the height of the housing, so that the main unit 1 is higher than the loading platform 6 by a certain height, playing a role in blocking commodities.

[0025] The host 1 is connected to a first display screen 2 and a second display screen 3. The first display screen 2 faces the salesperson and is connected to the top of the host 1 through a rotating support 4, and the angle can be adjusted. The first display screen 2 is a touch screen. The second display screen 3 faces the customer and is horizontally embedded in the upper surface of the loading platform 6. The loading platform 6 is provided with a transparent plate on the surface of the second display screen 3. The second display screen 3 will synchronously display the scanned commodity information, so that the customer can simultaneously pay attention to the scanned commodity and its price. In addition, advertisements can also be played through the second display screen 3. In this embodiment, the loading platform 6 is a flat plate-shaped that is rotatably connected to one side of the installation groove 7 and can be used as a switch door to enter the working area. The wiring of the second display screen 3 passes through the side wall opening of the installation groove 7 and is connected to the host 1. The second display screen 3 is provided with a switch 9, and the switch 9 is arranged on the side of the loading platform 6 facing the salesperson, and the second display screen 3 can be manually turned off.

[0026] The host 1 includes a housing and a controller, a printer 5 arranged in the housing. The controller is respectively connected to the first display screen 2, the second display screen 3, a communication module, a power supply module, a barcode scanner, a card information reader, the printer 5, a speaker 8, and a cooling fan. In this embodiment, the controller is an ARM processor. The housing is provided with heat dissipation holes 10, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the host 1. The barcode scanner includes a commodity barcode scanner and a QR code scanner. The outlet of the printer 5 is arranged at the top of the host 1 body, which is convenient for tearing off the printed form. The speaker 8 is arranged on one side of the second display screen 3 and is used for bill broadcasting. In this embodiment, the communication module includes an optical fiber module. The controller is connected to the cloud platform through the communication module, and transmits the sales data to the cloud platform, and the cloud platform will further manage and analyze it.
