DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0052] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the preferred embodiments of the present invention.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a cash register, including a column 1; a display 2; a shaft assembly 3, the shaft assembly 3 includes a shaft 31, the shaft 31 is connected to the back of the display 2, specifically, the shaft 31 can be connected to the display 2 by fasteners such as screws, and the shaft 31 is an integrated straight-line structure; a first connecting member 4, one end of the first connecting member 4 is bent to form an annular installation channel 41, the shaft 31 is inserted into the installation channel 41, and can rotate relative to the installation channel 41, and the other end of the first connecting member 4 is connected to the column 1.

[0054] The first connecting member 4 may be a plate structure, one end of which is bent to form an annular installation channel 41, the rotating shaft 31 is inserted into the installation channel 41, and the rotating shaft 31 can overcome the friction force and rotate relative to the installation channel 41, thereby realizing the rotation of the display 2 relative to the column 1. Moreover, the first connecting member 4 is bent to form the installation channel 41, and the first connecting member 4 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 31 through the installation channel 41, so that the assembly of the two is simple and convenient, and the cost is reduced.

[0055] Among them, see Fig. 9 The display 2, the rotating shaft assembly 3 and the first connecting member 4 can be assembled or disassembled with the column 1 as a whole, which is more convenient to operate.

[0056] In the cash register provided by the embodiment of the utility model, the shaft 31 of the shaft assembly 3 is connected to the back of the display 2, the shaft 31 is inserted into the installation channel 41 of the first connecting member 4, and the first connecting member 4 is connected to the column 1. Since the shaft 31 can rotate relative to the installation channel 41, and the shaft 31 is an integrated straight-line structure, there is no problem of difficulty in meeting the concentricity. There will be no sense of frustration when the display 2 is flipped relative to the column 1, the operation is convenient, and the user experience is improved. In addition, the structure of the cash register is simpler, and the cost is reduced.

[0057] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The hinge assembly 3 may further include a second connecting member 32, which is connected between the display 2 and the hinge 31; a limiting portion may be provided on the second connecting member 32; a limiting matching portion may be provided on the column 1, and the limiting portion is used to cooperate with the limiting matching portion to limit the display 2 from rotating between the first position and the second position relative to the column 1.

[0058] In the above embodiment, by providing the limiting portion and the limiting matching portion, the display 2 can be rotated between the first position and the second position relative to the column 1 to ensure that the display 2 is at a better viewing angle, which is convenient for the user to view the information displayed on the display 2. When the display 2 is in the first position, the angle between the display 2 and the column 1 can be 36 degrees, and when the display 2 is in the second position, the angle between the display 2 and the column 1 can be 72 degrees.

[0059] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The limiting portion may include a first limiting surface 321; the limiting matching portion includes a second limiting surface 111; when the display 2 is in the first position, the first limiting surface 321 abuts against the second limiting surface 111.

[0060] When the display 2 rotates from the second position to the first position, the first limit surface 321 gradually approaches the second limit surface 111 until the first limit surface 321 abuts against the second limit surface 111, and the display 2 reaches the first position and stays at the first position. When the display 2 rotates from the first position to the second position, the first limit surface 321 gradually moves away from the second limit surface 111. The structure is simple and the operation is more convenient.

[0061] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4The limiting portion may further include a first supporting surface 322, which is located below the first limiting surface 321; the limiting matching portion may further include a second supporting surface 112, which is located below the second limiting surface 111; when the display 2 is in the first position, the first supporting surface 322 and the second supporting surface 112 are in contact with each other.

[0062] When the display 2 rotates from the second position to the first position, the first limiting surface 321 gradually approaches the second limiting surface 111, and at the same time, the first supporting surface 322 gradually approaches the second supporting surface 112, until the first limiting surface 321 abuts against the second limiting surface 111, and at the same time, the first supporting surface 322 abuts against the second supporting surface 112, and the display 2 reaches the first position.

[0063] When the display 2 is in the first position, the first support surface 322 and the second support surface 112 are in contact with each other, so that the column 1 supports the display 2 in the first position, avoiding damage to the display shaft 31 due to excessive force, thereby extending the service life of the cash register.

[0064] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The limiting portion may further include a third limiting surface 323, which is located above the first limiting surface 321; the limiting matching portion may further include a fourth limiting surface 113, which is located above the second limiting surface 111; when the display 2 is in the second position, the second limiting surface 111 abuts against the third limiting surface 323.

[0065] When the display 2 rotates from the first position to the second position, the third limiting surface 323 gradually approaches the fourth limiting surface 113 until the third limiting surface 323 abuts against the fourth limiting surface 113, and the display 2 reaches the second position and stays at the second position. When the display 2 rotates from the second position to the first position, the third limiting surface 323 gradually moves away from the fourth limiting surface 113.

[0067] Furthermore, in order to improve the limiting stability of the limiting portion and the limiting matching portion, the number of each limiting surface can be at least two. Specifically, the end surfaces at both ends of the connecting piece are provided with steps extending outward, and the protrusions 114 on the inner wall surface of the column 1 can be two relatively arranged.

[0068] Moreover, during the switching of the display 2 between the first position and the second position, the second connecting member 32 is slidably connected to the column 1 or the surface close to the column 1 can be an arc surface to avoid interference between the second connecting member 32 and the column 1, thereby ensuring smooth rotation of the display 2 relative to the column 1.

Among them, the flexible circuit board 5 is electrically connected to the display 2 and the electrical component 6 to realize the corresponding functions of the cash register.

[0070] In the above embodiment, the flexible circuit board 5 is located in the limiting space 413 between the first channel 411 and the second channel 412, so that the first channel 411 and the second channel 412 can guide and limit the flexible circuit board 5, which not only facilitates the assembly of the flexible circuit board 5, but also prevents the flexible circuit board 5 from shifting due to abnormal situations, thereby ensuring a reliable electrical connection between the display 2 and the electrical component 6, and further ensuring the reliable operation of the cash register.

[0071] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Fig.10The second connecting member 32 is provided with a first mounting groove 324, and at least a portion of the rotating shaft 31 and the mounting channel 41 are embedded in the first mounting groove 324; the column 1 may include a column body 11 and a cover body 12 buckled on the outer side of the column body 11, and the electrical component 6 is arranged between the column body 11 and the cover body 12; the top surface of the column body 11 is provided with a second mounting groove 115 penetrating through the inner side thereof, and the side surface of the column body 11 is provided with a second through hole 116 communicating with the second mounting groove 115, at least a portion of the second connecting member 32 is accommodated in the second mounting groove 115, and at least a portion of the first connecting member 4 is arranged on between the column body 11 and the cover body 12; the flexible circuit board 5 passes through the second through hole 116 and is electrically connected to the electrical component 6; the second connecting member 32, the column body 11 and the cover body 12 cover the shaft 31, the first connecting member 4 and the flexible circuit board 5, so that the shaft 31, the first connecting member 4 and the flexible circuit board 5 are not visible from the exterior of the cash register, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the cash register. At the same time, the second connecting member 32, the column body 11 and the cover body 12 also protect the shaft 31, the first connecting member 4 and the flexible circuit board 5, preventing the shaft 31, the first connecting member 4 and the flexible circuit board 5 from being exposed and easily damaged.
