DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0044] The terms used in this application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this application. The singular forms of "a", "said" and "the" used in this application and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms unless the context clearly indicates other meanings. It should also be understood that the term "and / or" used herein refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items.

[0045] The study found that with the popularization of the Internet and mobile payment, the food delivery industry has developed rapidly, but it has also caused many problems. For example, there is often a difference in meal delivery information between merchants and riders, which leads to reduced meal distribution efficiency and reduced consumer satisfaction. If the merchant does not update the meal delivery information in time, the meal delivery is slow, and the rider's waiting time after arriving at the store becomes longer. However, the delivery time is short, which will cause the rider to be fined for overtime, and the consumer's waiting time will also become longer. If the merchant has not yet delivered the meal, the system will assign an order to the rider, and the merchant will not be able to deliver the meal in time after the rider arrives at the store, resulting in a longer waiting time. Therefore, meal delivery reporting plays an important role in takeout, which can help stores deliver meals quickly, avoid people waiting for meals or meals waiting for people, and reduce disputes between merchants and riders in the meal pickup process. In related technologies, meal delivery is usually reported with the help of intelligent scanning equipment. By scanning the receipt code, the "meal delivery" status can be reported, and the rider can be notified to deliver to the store. However, in the meal delivery business, it is usually necessary to first accept the order and print the receipt through a printer. After the meal is delivered, the scanning device is used to scan the receipt code to report the meal. Therefore, merchants need printers and code scanning devices to work together, and sometimes they also need voice broadcasters. Multiple devices will increase merchants' operating costs and purchase costs.

[0046] The present application provides a code scanning printer and a code scanning printer system, which are intended to solve the above technical problems of related technologies.

[0047] The following is a detailed description of the code scanning printer and the code scanning printer system in the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0048] In the absence of conflict, the features in the following embodiments may complement or be combined with each other.

[0049] This application provides a code scanning printer, such as Figure 1 to Figure 5 As shown, it includes a body shell 1 and a controller (not shown in the figure), wherein the body shell 1 includes an operation panel 10, and the operation panel 10 is provided with a printing area 100, a code scanning area 200 and a key area 300. The key area 300 is provided with a plurality of keys 310. The keys 310 are any one or more of touch keys, silicone keys, and membrane keys. The controller is located in the body shell 1, and the operation panel 10 is connected to the controller.

[0050] The code scanning printer in this embodiment is integrated with a printing area 100 and a code scanning area 200 on the operation panel 10, so the integration of the printing function and the code scanning function can be realized. The dual function areas integrated on the same operation panel 10 are clear and intuitive, which is convenient for merchants to complete the actions of taking tickets and preparing meals / scanning codes for meal delivery and reporting on the same operation panel 10. Compared with the situation where merchants need to log in to the app to find the corresponding order to report the meal delivery, the process is cumbersome and time-consuming, and there is no time to operate the mobile phone during the meal peak. By using the code scanning printer provided by this embodiment, the merchant only needs to establish a communication connection between the code scanning printer and the mobile terminal. After receiving the order printing instruction, the code scanning printer prints the meal code in the printing area 100, and after the meal preparation is completed, the code scanning area 200 is used to scan the meal delivery and report. There is no need to switch devices in the middle, which reduces the operating cost of the merchant and improves the meal preparation efficiency. At the same time, since the code scanning printer integrates the printing function and the code scanning function, the merchant does not need to purchase multiple devices, which reduces the equipment purchase cost. The code scanning printer provided in this embodiment can realize timely meal delivery reporting, reduce the waiting time of deliverymen arriving at the store, and improve meal preparation efficiency and customer satisfaction.

[0051] In one embodiment, the code scanning area and the printing area are distinguished by the edge linear structure A, and the key area is distinguished from other areas by the edge linear structure B. Using the edge linear structure to distinguish multiple areas, on the one hand, it is easy to distinguish each operation area. On the other hand, it is easy to integrate multiple different areas and improve the convenience of installation. In this embodiment, the key area and the code scanning area are located on the same side.

[0052] In one embodiment, the operation panel 10 is located on the top surface of the body housing 1 .

[0053] In some embodiments, Figure 1-2 As shown, the printing area 100 is provided with a printing structure, and the printing structure includes a bin body 120 and a bin cover 110. The surface of the bin cover 110 is provided with a paper outlet 113 penetrating along the thickness direction.

[0054] Furthermore, the bin body 120 and the bin cover 110 overlap each other to facilitate assembly. In this embodiment, the bin body includes a main body 121 and a support portion 122, and the main body 121 is arranged closer to the bin cover 110 than the support portion 122. The support portion 122 is distinguished from the main body 121 by an edge line structure to enhance the aesthetics.

[0055] The bin cover 110 includes a first cover body 111 and a second cover body 112 adjacent to each other. At least a portion of adjacent surfaces of the first cover body and the second cover body are spaced apart to form a paper outlet 113 .

[0056] The paper outlet 113 in this embodiment is arranged at the junction of the first cover 111 and the second cover 112, that is, at a relatively middle position, and can provide a bearing surface for the printed receipt, so as to provide a favorable viewing angle for the merchant to observe the order receipt, quickly obtain order information, and improve meal preparation efficiency. Specifically, the paper outlet 113 is connected to the paper feeding channel in the bin body, and the paper outlet 113 is used to output paper.

[0057] In some embodiments, the printing structure is any one of a thermal printer, a laser printer or an inkjet printer. A paper bin and a pressure roller are provided in the area of ​​the bin body corresponding to the first cover body. An inkjet cartridge, a laser or a heating element are provided in the area of ​​the bin body corresponding to the second cover body. The second cover body 112 is detachably connected to the bin body, referring to Figure 1 As shown, a finger-locking position 123 is provided at a position of the bin body 1200 close to the second cover body 112 , so that the user can lock the finger in to open the second cover body 112 .

[0058] In some embodiments, the printing structure is provided with a cutter device (not shown in the figure) near the paper outlet 113, which is used to completely or partially cut the printed paper after printing, without the need for manual tearing, thereby improving order receiving efficiency.

[0059] In some embodiments, the projection area of ​​the orthographic projection of the first cover 111 on the bin body is greater than or equal to the projection area of ​​the orthographic projection of the second cover 112 on the bin body. Exemplarily, the projection area of ​​the orthographic projection of the first cover 111 on the bin body is greater than the projection area of ​​the orthographic projection of the second cover 112 on the bin body, so that the bin body at the corresponding position of the first cover 111 can accommodate a larger volume of printing paper, and the high integration and full utilization of the structure of the printing area 100 can be achieved.

[0060] In some embodiments, Figure 1-2 As shown, the code scanning area 200 includes a code scanning window 210, and the code scanning window 210 and the paper outlet 113 are located in the same plane. A sensor 220 is provided in the code scanning window 210, and the sensor 220 is connected to the controller. The sensor 220 in this embodiment can perform image acquisition and recognition through the code scanning window 210, so that the meal delivery code on the order receipt after the meal preparation is completed can be scanned. The sensor 220 is connected to the controller and the scanning result can be transmitted to the controller.

[0061] In some embodiments, the code scanning window 210 is made of a light-transmitting plastic plate, an acrylic plate, or a glass plate.

[0062] In some embodiments, the sensor 220 includes a camera module, which is used to obtain image information related to the meal delivery code.

[0063] like Figure 1As shown, the code scanning window 210 is distinguished from other areas by the edge line structure. In this embodiment, the edge line structure around the code scanning window 210 is runway-shaped. Of course, in other embodiments, the edge line structure around the code scanning window 210 can also be other shapes, such as: rectangle, ellipse, etc. Through the difference in edge line structure, on the one hand, it is easy to distinguish each operation area, so that consumers can observe the code scanning window more intuitively, so as to complete the payment and improve the payment efficiency. On the other hand, it is easy to realize the integration of multiple areas and improve the convenience of installation.

[0064] In some embodiments, Figure 6 The schematic diagram shows a state in which the bin body and the bin cover 110 are partially separated so as to expose a portion of the bin body, and the first cover 111 is used to switch between a first position and a second position; when the first cover 111 is in the first position, the first cover 111 covers the bin body; when the first cover 111 is in the second position, the first cover 111 is separated from the bin body. Exemplarily, one side of the first cover 111 is connected to the bin body through a pivot structure, so that one side of the first cover 111 and the bin body can rotate relative to each other through the pivot structure, thereby realizing the mutual switching between the cover and the bin body between the covering state and the partially separated state.

[0065] In some embodiments, the barcode scanning printer also includes a snap structure, and the warehouse body or the second cover body 112 is detachably connected to the first cover body 111 through the snap structure; the snap structure includes a positioning protrusion 114 and a positioning recess 115 that cooperate with each other, one of the positioning protrusion 114 and the positioning recess 115 is set on the first cover body 111, and the other of the positioning protrusion 114 and the positioning recess 115 is set on the warehouse body or the second cover body 112; the positioning protrusion 114 can switch between an extended position and a retracted position; when the first cover body 111 is in the first position, the positioning protrusion 114 is in the extended position, and the positioning protrusion 114 is located inside the positioning recess 115; when the first cover body 111 switches from the first position to the second position, the positioning protrusion 114 is in the retracted position, and the positioning protrusion 114 is away from the positioning recess 115.

[0066] For example, Figure 6 As shown, the second cover body 112 is detachably connected to the first cover body 111 via a snap-fit ​​structure. The snap-fit ​​structure includes a positioning protrusion 114 and a positioning recess 115 that cooperate with each other. The positioning recess 115 is arranged on the first cover body 111, and the positioning protrusion 114 is arranged on the second cover body 112.

[0067] In one embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the number of the positioning protrusions 114 and the number of the positioning recesses 115 are two respectively.

[0068] Specifically, when the first cover 111 covers the warehouse body, the positioning protrusion 114 is located in the extended position, and the positioning protrusion 114 is located inside the positioning recess 115, and the positioning protrusion 114 and the positioning recess 115 are mutually engaged so that the first cover 111 and the warehouse body remain in the covered state. When it is necessary to switch the first cover 111 from the covered state to the state away from the warehouse body, the positioning protrusion 114 is controlled to switch from the extended position to the retracted position and away from the positioning recess 115, at which time the engaging part between the positioning protrusion 114 and the positioning recess 115 is separated, so that the first cover 111 is switched from the covered state to the state away from the warehouse body. When the first cover 111 and the warehouse body remain in a state away from each other, the positioning protrusion 114 can remain in the extended state. When the first cover body 111 switches from a state away from the warehouse body to a covered state, the positioning protrusion 114 is controlled to switch from the extended position to the retracted position and away from the positioning recess 115. At this time, the first cover body 111 is kept in the covered state, and the snap-fitting parts between the positioning protrusion 114 and the positioning recess 115 cooperate with each other to achieve the closed state between the first cover body 111 and the warehouse body.

[0069] In some embodiments, a first avoidance groove 30 close to the compartment cover 110 is further provided on the surface of the body shell 1, and a paper compartment key 31 is provided in the first avoidance groove 30, and the paper compartment key 31 is used to control the positioning protrusion 114 to switch from the extended position to the retracted position.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first avoidance groove 30 is located on the surface of the body shell 1 close to the first cover body 111 and is connected to the magazine body. At this time, the magazine body and the first cover body 111 are mutually engaged and clamped through the positioning protrusion and the positioning recess 115, and the paper magazine key is used to control the positioning protrusion to switch from the extended position to the retracted position.

[0071] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the first avoidance groove is located on the surface of the body shell near the second cover 112. In other words, the first avoidance groove 30 is located below the second cover 112. Connected to the second cover 112, at this time, the second cover 112 and the first cover 111 are mutually engaged through the positioning protrusion 114 and the positioning recess 115, and the paper bin key 31 is used to control the positioning protrusion 114 to switch from the extended position to the retracted position.

[0072] In this embodiment, the paper bin key 31 is disposed in the first avoidance groove 30 to prevent the external environment structure from squeezing the paper bin key 31 and opening the paper bin, thereby preventing misoperation from affecting the opening and closing state of the first cover of the printing area 100.

[0073] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, an operation space 32 is reserved in the first avoidance groove 30. The operation space 32 is adjacent to the paper bin key 31. The operation space 32 is relatively located on the upper side of the paper bin key 31. The pressing surface of the paper bin key 31 is the top surface. When the user presses the paper bin key 31 downward, horizontal thrust on the code scanning printer can be avoided, thereby avoiding position deviation of the code scanning printer.

[0074] like Figure 1 As shown, the first avoidance groove 30 is distinguished from other structures by the edge line structure, so that the user can see the position of the first avoidance groove 30 more clearly.

[0075] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the surface of the body shell 1 is also provided with a sound hole 20, and the sound hole 20 corresponds to the voice broadcast structure (not shown in the figure) arranged in the body shell 1, and the voice broadcast structure is connected to the controller. The body shell 1 in this embodiment is also provided with a sound hole 20, corresponding to the voice broadcast structure, so that the voice broadcast function can also be realized on the basis of the printing and scanning functions, so as to facilitate the timely transmission of information. The voice broadcast machine can broadcast the status of the scanning printer, for example, whether it is turned on, connected to the Internet, whether the networking is successful, whether the printing is out of paper, order information, whether the scanning code is successful, etc. Exemplarily, the voice broadcast structure includes a speaker. Exemplarily, the sound hole 20 is located on the side of the body shell 1.

[0076] like Figure 1 As shown, the sound outlet 20 is located below the first cover 111. This area has a large space, which is convenient for arranging devices such as speakers.

[0077] In some embodiments, Figure 1-2 As shown, the operation panel 10 is further provided with a key area 300, which is connected to the controller; the key area 300 is provided with a plurality of keys 310, which are any one or more of touch keys, silicone keys, and membrane keys. The key area 300 is distinguished from other areas by an edge line structure.

[0078] The operation area 300 in this embodiment is used to control the printing structure to print paper or the voice broadcast structure to broadcast voice. For example, the button 310 may include a volume + button, a volume - button, a paper feed button or other combination buttons 310. In one example, the button 310 is a membrane button with reliable pressing performance, long service life, and dustproof, waterproof and corrosion-resistant.

[0079] The button area 300 is also provided with an indicator light 320 to indicate the status.

[0080] In some embodiments, the operation panel includes an operation panel 400, and the key area and the code scanning area are both arranged on the operation panel 400. Of course, one of the key area and the code scanning area can also be arranged on the operation panel 400. At least two of the operation panel 400, the bin cover 110, and the bin body 120 are not integrally formed. In this embodiment, the operation panel 400, the bin cover 110, and the bin body 120 are all non-integrally formed parts to facilitate production and processing.

[0081] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, adjacent two side planes of the body shell 1 are transitionally connected by chamfered cut surfaces or rounded arc surfaces.

[0082] The body shell 1 of the barcode scanning printer in this embodiment has a natural arc or cut surface setting between the adjacent two sides, which does not accumulate dirt, is more visually recognizable, increases the sense of layering, and makes the machine look lighter. At the same time, the user will not be injured by bumping into the edges and corners of the body, thereby improving the safety and practicality of use.

[0083] In this embodiment, the operation panel 10 is distinguished from other areas by an edge line structure.

[0084] In some embodiments, Figure 3 to Figure 5 As shown, the body shell 1 is further provided with a standing foot 40 located on a side opposite to the operation panel 10 , and the standing feet 40 are distributed on the surface of the body shell 1 at intervals.

[0085] In this embodiment, a foot 40 is provided on the body shell 1, so as to reduce the contact area between the code scanning printer and the desktop or the ground during movement, thereby reducing friction and facilitating the rapid movement of the code scanning printer. In addition, the foot 40 is distributed at intervals on the surface of the body shell 1, so that the placement state of the code scanning printer can be kept relatively horizontal. It should be noted that the height of the foot 40 is relatively consistent. By way of example, the code scanning printer in this embodiment is provided with four feet 40, which are respectively located at the top corner edge areas around the bottom surface of the body shell 1.

[0086] In some embodiments, Figure 4-5 As shown, the body shell 1 is further provided with a second avoidance groove 50 located at a side opposite to the operation panel 10 .

[0087] In this embodiment, a second avoidance groove 50 is provided on the opposite side of the operation panel 10, which can be used to accommodate the power line externally connected to the code scanning printer to avoid occupying the surrounding space.

[0088] In some embodiments, Figure 4-5 As shown, the barcode scanning printer further includes a switch key 60. Exemplarily, the switch key 60 is a boat shape.

[0089] In some embodiments, Figure 5As shown, a data interface 70 is provided in the area of ​​the body shell 1 located in the second avoidance groove 50, and an external data line is connected to transmit printing data or scanning data.

[0090] In some embodiments, the controller includes a communication module, the communication module is connected to the mobile terminal, and the communication module includes a local area network communication module and / or a wide area network communication module. In this embodiment, the communication module is connected to the mobile terminal, and the user can control the printing status of the code scanning printer online and receive the code scanning information through the mobile terminal.

[0091] In some embodiments, the local area network communication module includes WiFi or Bluetooth, and the wide area network communication module includes 4G / 5G.

[0092] Based on the same inventive concept, the present application also provides a code scanning printer system, including: a code scanning printer and a mobile terminal; the code scanning printer includes a printing module, a code scanning module and a controller respectively connected to the printing module and the code scanning module; the mobile terminal is communicated with the controller of the code scanning printer through a cloud server.

[0093] In this embodiment, by integrating printing and scanning functions on the code scanning printer, the code scanning printer and the mobile terminal are connected, so that the merchant can complete the actions of taking tickets and preparing meals / scanning codes for meal delivery and reporting on the same device.
