[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cash register device provided in the embodiment of this specification includes: a support table 10, a telescopic rod 20, a main body 30 and an identification device 50.

[0039] The support table 10 is configured to be supported on a support surface (the support surface refers to a surface for placing a cash register device, and the support surface can be set on any structure).

[0040] One end of the telescopic rod 20 is connected to the support platform 10 via a first universal joint 41 .

[0041] The main body 30 is provided with a second universal joint 42 , and the second universal joint 42 is connected to the other end of the telescopic rod 20 .

[0042] The identification device 50 is disposed on the main body 30 , and the identification device 50 is configured to identify payment information.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, when the distance between the main body 30 and the consumer is inappropriate due to the placement of the cash register device, the distance between the main body 30 and the support table 10 is adjusted by the telescopic rod 20 so that the main body 30 faces the consumer at the most appropriate height, providing the consumer with a better cash register experience.

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, when the orientation of the main body 30 is inappropriate due to the placement of the cash register device, the telescopic rod 20 is rotated at any angle relative to the support platform 10 through the first universal joint 41 so that the main body 30 faces the consumer in the most appropriate direction, providing the consumer with a better cash register experience.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, when the angle of the main body 30 facing the consumer is not appropriate due to the placement of the cash register device, the main body 30 can be rotated at any angle relative to the telescopic rod 20 through the second universal joint 42, thereby ensuring that the main body 30 faces the consumer at the most appropriate angle, providing the consumer with a better cash register experience.

[0046] The cash register device provided in this specification, through the cooperation between the telescopic rod 20, the first universal joint 41 and the second universal joint 42, can make the main body 30 present a variety of distances, directions, and tilt angles relative to the support platform 10, so that the cash register equipment is suitable for support surfaces of different heights and depths, and can ensure that the main body 30 faces the consumer at the most appropriate angle, providing consumers with a better cash register experience, thereby expanding the scope of use of the product and increasing the market competitiveness of the product.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present specification, the support platform 10 includes a top surface 11 and a bottom surface 12 that are arranged opposite to each other, and an annular side surface 13 that is respectively connected to the top surface 11 and the bottom surface 12 .

[0048] The top surface 11 is arranged to be inclined relative to the bottom surface 12 , and the second universal joint 42 is arranged on the top surface 11 .

[0049] The orientation of the main body 30 is the same as the orientation of the general top surface 11 .

[0050] The above structure makes the top surface 11 of the support platform 10 an inclined surface, so that the center of gravity of the support platform 10 is biased downward (the center of gravity of the support platform 10 is close to the supporting surface), that is, the support platform 10 is light on the top and heavy on the bottom, so that the support platform 10 is more stable and not easy to tip over, and at the same time reduces the shaking of the support platform 10 when it is subjected to external force, thereby ensuring the reliability of product use.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present specification, the side surface 13 is inclined relative to the bottom surface 12 .

[0052] The above structure makes the support platform 10 appear to be small at the top and large at the bottom, that is, the support platform 10 is light at the top and heavy at the bottom, thereby further making the support platform 10 more stable and not easy to tip over, and at the same time further reducing the shaking of the support platform 10 when subjected to external force, thereby further ensuring the reliability of the product.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present specification, the side surface 13 is an arc surface in the circumferential direction of the side surface 13. In some specific embodiments of the present specification, in the direction from the closest distance between the bottom surface 12 and the top surface 11 to the farthest distance between the bottom surface 12 and the top surface 11, the angle between the side surface 13 and the bottom surface 12 gradually increases.

[0054] The above structure makes the support platform 10 a truncated cone, so that the appearance of the support platform 10 is smoother and shows rich geometric changes, giving people a novel visual experience, thereby increasing the aesthetics of the product, making the cash register equipment more attractive, and thus improving the market competitiveness of the product.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present specification, at the farthest distance between the bottom surface 12 and the top surface 11, the angle β between the side surface 13 and the bottom surface 12 is 30° to 36°. In some specific embodiments of the present specification, at the farthest distance between the bottom surface 12 and the top surface 11, the angle β between the side surface 13 and the bottom surface 12 is 32.8°.

[0056] If the angle between the side surface 13 and the bottom surface 12 is less than 30°, the protruding length of the support platform 10 in the direction parallel to the supporting surface is longer, resulting in a larger volume of the support platform 10, affecting the scope of use of the product; if the angle between the side surface 13 and the bottom surface 12 is greater than 36°, the protruding length of the support platform 10 in the direction parallel to the supporting surface is shorter, making the contact area between the support platform 10 and the supporting surface smaller, causing the center of gravity of the support platform 10 to be biased toward the side where the main body 30 is provided, and the center of gravity is unstable, affecting the stability of product use; therefore, the angle between the side surface 13 and the bottom surface 12 is between 30° and 36°, and the contact area between the support platform 10 and the supporting surface is reasonable, making the support platform 10 stable and not easy to tip over. At the same time, the volume of the support platform 10 is reasonable, which is convenient for the placement and movement of the cash register, so that the cash register can be applied to more scenarios, that is, the scope of use of the product is increased.

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present specification, at the closest distance between the top surface 11 and the bottom surface 12, the angle α between the side surface 13 and the bottom surface 12 is 49° to 56°. In some embodiments of the application, at the closest distance between the top surface 11 and the bottom surface 12, the angle α between the side surface 13 and the bottom surface 12 is 52.4°.

[0058] If the angle between the side surface 13 and the bottom surface 12 is less than 49°, the protruding length of the support platform 10 in the direction parallel to the support surface is longer, resulting in a larger volume of the support platform 10, affecting the scope of use of the product; if the angle between the side surface 13 and the bottom surface 12 is greater than 56°, the protruding length of the support platform 10 in the direction parallel to the support surface is shorter, making the contact area between the support platform 10 and the support surface smaller, causing the center of gravity of the support platform 10 to be biased toward the side with the main body 30 and the center of gravity to be unstable, affecting the stability of product use; therefore, the angle between the side surface 13 and the bottom surface 12 is between 49° and 56°, and the contact area between the support platform 10 and the support surface is reasonable, making the support platform 10 stable and not easy to tip over. At the same time, the volume of the support platform 10 is reasonable, which is convenient for the placement and movement of the cash register, so that the cash register can be applied to more scenarios, that is, the scope of use of the product is increased.

[0059] In addition, in some specific embodiments of the present specification, the angle between the side surface 13 and the bottom surface 12 gradually increases in the direction from the shortest distance between the bottom surface 12 and the top surface 11 to the farthest distance between the bottom surface 12 and the top surface 11 .

[0060] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present specification, the support platform 10 has a built-in charging port 14 .

[0061] The embedded charging port 14 is flush with the outer surface of the support platform 10, making the appearance of the support platform 10 more neat and integrated; in addition, the embedded charging port 14 can reduce dust entry, protect the charging interface, and reduce the impact of external factors on the charging port, thereby ensuring the reliability of product use.

[0062] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present specification, the cash register device further includes a display screen 60 .

[0063] The display screen 60 is provided on the main body 30 .

[0064] On the one hand, the display screen 60 can clearly display the payment amount, goods and other related information, and the information display is intuitive so as to quickly obtain the required information; on the other hand, the display screen 60 can display guidance information to guide users to perform payment operations, which is easy for consumers to view and understand and shortens the payment time; on another hand, the display screen 60 can be used to promote related products and services, display brand elements or shape the brand image and increase commercial value.

[0065] like Figure 6 The identification device 50 shown includes: a payment code identification module 51 and a biometric identification module 52 .

[0066] The payment code recognition module 51 and the biometric recognition module 52 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the display screen 60 , and the payment code recognition module 51 is disposed adjacent to the support platform 10 .

[0067] The payment information includes a payment code and biometric features. The payment code includes graphics such as QR codes and bar codes used for payment. The biometric features include fingerprints, facial features, palm lines and other biometric features used for payment. The payment code recognition module 51 is used to recognize the payment code, and the biometric recognition module 52 is used to recognize the biometric features. The structure of the above-mentioned recognition device 50 can provide two payment methods to choose from, thereby meeting the payment needs of users in different situations and increasing the convenience of payment.

[0068] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this specification, rather than to limit them; although this specification has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein by equivalents; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this specification, and they should all be included in the claims and the scope of this specification.
