It is widely used in electronic systems in industries such as retail and hotels. Its main function is to count the sales, inventory, and customer purchase behavior of commodities, and the operating efficiency can be improved through this system.

[0003] Existing handheld POS machines are usually equipped with a protective cover. When the POS machine is not in use, the protective cover can prevent the surface of the POS machine from being damaged by external forces or contaminated with dust. When using the POS machine, the protective cover needs to be removed, and there is a risk of loss when the protective cover is separated from the POS machine body. In view of the above technical problems, this application proposes a handheld POS machine with an integrated design of the protective cover and the POS machine body. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to protect the POS machine body while reducing the risk of loss of the protective cover, this application provides a handheld integrated POS machine.

[0005] The above-mentioned invention object of this application is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A handheld integrated POS machine includes a POS machine body and a protective cover. Both side ends of the bottom of the POS machine body are respectively rotatably connected with connecting pieces, and one end of the connecting piece away from the POS machine body is rotatably connected with the side wall of the protective cover;

[0007] A plurality of mounting holes are respectively formed on both side walls of the POS machine body, and a plurality of fixing components are symmetrically arranged inside the protective cover, and the fixing components extend to both sides of the protective cover;

[0008] When the protective cover rotates to the front of the POS machine body, the fixing components correspond to the mounting holes one by one, and the fixing components are fitted and engaged with the mounting holes.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the protective cover is rotatably connected to the POS machine main body through a connecting member. When using the POS machine, the protective cover is rotated to the back of the POS machine main body so that the protective cover overlaps with the POS machine main body, which does not affect the operator to hold the POS machine for work, and the protective cover is not easily lost. When the POS machine is not in use, the protective cover is rotated to the front of the POS machine main body, thereby protecting the operation panel of the POS machine main body and preventing the operation panel of the POS machine from being damaged by external forces or contaminated with dust. The protective cover is fixed to the POS machine main body through a fixing component, and the protective cover is not easily folded due to its own gravity, improving the practicability of the POS machine.

[0010] Optionally, the fixing component includes a slider, a chute is formed inside the protective cover, and the slider is slidably disposed inside the chute;

[0011] One end of the slider is fixedly connected to a handle, the handle passes through the protective cover, and one end of the slider away from the handle is fixedly connected to an "L-shaped" slide bar, and the "L-shaped" slide bar passes through the protective cover and extends to the side end of the protective cover;

[0012] One end of the "L-shaped" slide bar away from the slider is fixedly connected to an installation cylinder. When the protective cover is rotated to the front of the POS machine main body, the position of the installation cylinder corresponds to that of the installation hole, and the installation cylinder is fitted and embedded with the installation hole;

[0013] When the handle moves to the extreme position in the extending direction of the "L-shaped" slide bar, the installation cylinder extends out of the installation hole.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, both ends of the slider are fixedly connected to the handle and the "L-shaped" slide bar respectively. Push the handle to make the slider slide back and forth in the chute, and the slider drives the "L-shaped" slide bar to move synchronously. When using the POS machine, move the handle to the extreme position in the extending direction of the "L-shaped" slide bar, the installation cylinder extends out of the installation hole, and then rotate the protective cover to the back of the POS machine main body, and the operator can hold the POS machine main body for operation. When the POS machine is not in use, rotate the protective cover to the front of the POS machine main body, push the handle in the opposite direction, and the installation cylinder is embedded in the installation hole, and the protective cover can be locked to the front of the POS machine main body.

[0015] Optionally, limiting blocks are respectively fixedly connected to both side ends of the slider, limiting grooves are arranged in parallel on both sides of the chute, the limiting grooves are parallel to the direction of the chute, and the limiting blocks are slidably disposed inside the limiting grooves.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting grooves are parallel to the direction of the chute, and the limiting blocks at both ends of the slider slide in the limiting grooves, enabling the slider to slide smoothly along the direction of the chute.

[0017] Optionally, a spring is fixedly arranged inside the slide groove, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the slider;

[0018] When the spring is in a natural state, the mounting tube is adapted to fit into the mounting hole.

[0019] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the spring is in a natural state, the mounting tube is embedded in the mounting hole. At this time, the slider is located in the middle of the slide groove. When the protective cover needs to be rotated, the handle is moved to the extreme position in the extension direction of the "L-shaped" slide rod. At this time, the slider is located at the end of the slide groove away from the spring. The slider pulls the spring to stretch the spring, and the mounting tube extends out of the mounting hole, so that the protective cover can rotate freely. When the protective cover needs to be fixed, the mounting tube is aligned with the mounting hole, and the handle is released. The spring returns to its natural state, and the tension of the spring causes the slider to drive the "L-shaped" slide rod to move, and the mounting tube is synchronously embedded in the mounting hole to achieve the purpose of automatically locking the protective cover.

[0020] Optionally, a groove is formed on a side of the protective cover facing away from the handle, and the bottom surface of the "L-shaped" slide bar is adapted to abut against the groove, and the "L-shaped" slide bar slides along the direction of the groove.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the groove limits the "L-shaped" sliding rod, and the "L-shaped" sliding rod slides along the direction of the groove to accurately align the mounting tube with the mounting hole.

[0022] Optionally, a hanging ear is fixedly provided on the top of the POS machine body.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the hanging ear makes it easy to store the POS machine. After the protective cover is fixed to the front of the POS machine body, the device can be hung on a wall or other location through the hanging ear, which is convenient for taking and saves storage space.

[0024] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0025] 1. The protective cover is rotatably connected to the POS machine body through a connecting piece. When the POS machine is in use, the protective cover is rotated to the back of the POS machine body so that the protective cover overlaps with the POS machine body, which does not affect the operator's work of holding the POS machine, and the protective cover is not easy to be lost. When the POS machine is not in use, the protective cover is rotated to the front of the POS machine body to protect the operation panel of the POS machine body and prevent the operation panel of the POS machine from being damaged by external force or contaminated by dust. The protective cover is fixed to the POS machine body by a fixing component, and the protective cover is not easy to fold over due to its own gravity, thereby improving the practicality of the POS machine;

[0026] 2. The two ends of the slider are fixedly connected to the handle and the "L-shaped" slide bar respectively. Push the handle to make the slider slide reciprocally in the chute. The slider drives the "L-shaped" slide bar to move synchronously. When using the POS machine, move the handle in the extending direction of the "L-shaped" slide bar to the limit position. The installation cylinder extends out of the installation hole. Then rotate the protective cover to the back of the POS machine main body. The operator can hold the POS machine main body to operate. When not using the POS machine, rotate the protective cover to the front of the POS machine main body, push the handle in the opposite direction, and the installation cylinder is embedded in the installation hole, then the protective cover can be locked on the front of the POS machine main body;

[0027] 3. When the spring is in the natural state, the installation cylinder is embedded in the installation hole. At this time, the slider is located in the middle of the chute. When it is necessary to rotate the protective cover, move the handle in the extending direction of the "L-shaped" slide bar to the limit position. At this time, the slider is located at one end of the chute far from the spring. The slider pulls the spring to make the spring stretch, and the installation cylinder extends out of the installation hole, then the protective cover can rotate freely. When it is necessary to fix the protective cover, align the installation cylinder with the installation hole, release the handle, the spring returns to the natural state, and the pulling force of the spring makes the slider drive the "L-shaped" slide bar to move, and the installation cylinder is synchronously embedded in the installation hole to achieve the purpose of automatically locking the protective cover.
