Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shopping carts, and particularly relates to a self-service intelligent shopping cart for shopping malls. Background Art

[0002] A shopping cart refers to a trolley used by customers in large self-service shopping malls such as supermarkets to temporarily store the selected goods; it usually has several layers and can store different items, and some can even carry children; with the development of social technology, traditional shopping carts can no longer meet the growing material and cultural needs of people.

[0003] A Chinese patent discloses a self-service intelligent shopping cart for shopping malls (authorization announcement number CN 202904765 U). This patented technology can install an automatically opening and closing induction door at the upper end of the shopping basket, and an inductor is installed on the automatically opening and closing induction door to sense the items placed, avoiding the trouble of mispurchasing or overpurchasing during the shopping process; however, this device has a single structure and does not have corresponding buffering capabilities. When purchasing fragile or easily damaged goods, the goods are easily damaged due to vibration, resulting in economic losses. On the other hand, when the shopping cart travels at a high speed due to improper operation and hits the goods, due to the lack of a corresponding buffering structure, it is easy to cause harm to the human body or goods.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a self-service intelligent shopping cart for shopping malls to solve the problems raised in the above background art. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a self-service intelligent shopping cart for shopping malls, including a shopping basket, and support feet are installed on the lower side of the shopping basket; there are four mutually symmetric support feet, and universal wheels are installed on the lower sides of the four support feet; a scanning and settlement mechanism is installed on the upper right side of the shopping basket; a T-shaped limiting groove is installed on the lower right side of the shopping basket, and a buffering mechanism is installed in the T-shaped limiting groove; a storage frame is fixedly installed on the upper right side of the outer wall of the shopping basket; an upper handle is installed on the left inner wall of the shopping basket.

[0006] Preferably, the buffer mechanism includes a T-shaped moving plate which is embedded in a T-shaped limiting groove to facilitate the left-right movement of the T-shaped moving plate in the T-shaped limiting groove. Connecting plates are installed on both the front and rear sides of the T-shaped moving plate. Inverted rods are installed on the right sides of both connecting plates. The inverted rods are symmetrically arranged in the front and rear. The inverted rods extend out from the bottom of the shopping basket. The middle part of the inverted rod is hollow. Moving grooves are provided on the outer side walls of both inverted rods. A spring telescopic rod is installed on the left side of the inverted rod, and the left side of the spring telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the right outer wall of the shopping basket. When the shopping cart is impacted, the buffer mechanism can be squeezed and contracted inward through the spring telescopic rod, so as to avoid the shopping cart hitting the customers behind due to the impact. On the other hand, it can protect the fragile and vulnerable goods purchased, and the goods are not easily damaged due to vibration, thus causing economic losses.

[0007] Preferably, extension rods are movably installed inside both inverted rods. A hand rod is installed slightly below the top of both extension rods to facilitate customers to pull the shopping cart. The parts installed on both extension rods are the same. Taking the front extension rod as an example, a limit bolt is installed slightly below the front side of the extension rod to prevent the extension rod from being pulled out of the inverted rod when it is lifted upward. A fastening bolt is installed slightly above the middle of the front side of the extension rod. Customers can first loosen the fastening bolt, then move upward or downward along the moving groove. When in a suitable position, tighten the fastening bolt in the reverse direction to fix the extension rod, and then the adjustment of the push-pull rod of the shopping cart can be completed to adapt to customers of different heights, greatly improving the practicability of the device.

[0008] Preferably, a rotating rod is installed below the upper handle. Installation blocks are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the rotating rod, and the left sides of the installation blocks are fixedly connected to the left inner wall of the shopping basket. A placement seat is sleeved on the rotating rod. The periphery of the placement seat outside the base is made of a soft material and can be squeezed up and down. A lower handle is installed at the top right of the placement seat. The materials of the upper handle and the lower handle both have a certain elasticity. Two leg holes are provided on the placement seat. Grooves are installed on the outer walls of the front and rear sides of the upper part of the loading basket. Rotating rods are installed in both grooves, and hooks are also installed on the rotating rods. When shopping, customers can put their items into the loading basket. For items that they don't want to put in, they can move the hook out of the groove and hang the items on it, which is time-saving and labor-saving and convenient to take.

[0009] Preferably, a touch screen is installed on the right side of the scanning and settlement mechanism. Through the touch screen, the list of purchased items can be queried and viewed. A main controller and a storage battery are installed inside the scanning and settlement mechanism to provide power. A charging port is installed on the front side of the scanning and settlement mechanism to facilitate charging of the scanning and settlement mechanism. A scanning port is installed on the rear side of the scanning and settlement mechanism. Through the scanning port, the barcodes of items are scanned. The main controller processes the scanning data and displays the shopping amount and payment code on the touch screen. Shoppers make payments by scanning the code, which is convenient and fast. A camera is installed on the left side of the scanning and settlement mechanism to record the purchased items and remind of any items that have not been settled to prevent anyone from forgetting to scan and settle. Self-checkout can save time and avoid queuing.

[0010] The technical effects and advantages of the present utility model:

[0011] 1. The present utility model provides a self-service intelligent shopping cart for a shopping mall. When the shopping cart is impacted, the buffer mechanism can be squeezed and contracted inward through the spring telescopic rod, so as to avoid the shopping cart hitting the customers behind due to the impact. On the other hand, it can protect the fragile and vulnerable commodities purchased and prevent the commodities from being damaged due to vibration, resulting in economic losses.

[0012] 2. In the present utility model, customers can first loosen the fastening bolts, then move upward or downward along the moving groove. When in a suitable position, reverse-tighten the fastening bolts to fix the extension rod, and thus complete the adjustment of the push-pull rod of the shopping cart to adapt to customers of different heights, greatly improving the practicability of the device.

[0013] 3. In the present utility model, for some customers with children who are inconvenient to hold the children while shopping, they can put down the placement seat from the upper handle, then put the child on the placement seat, and stretch their legs out of the leg holes to fix the child, so that they can free their hands and shop happily.
