To adapt to people of different heights, the second base 44 is used to install the auxiliary screen 50 and is rotatably connected to the first base 41, that is, the second base 44 is directly set on the auxiliary screen 50. The connecting component 40 of this embodiment is provided with a locking base 42 on the first base 41, and then the first locking member 43 is used to realize the rapid installation or disassembly of the auxiliary screen 50, that is, a locking base 42 for embedding in the vertical pole body 20 is provided on the first base 41, and the first locking member 43 is used to lock it on the locking base 42.

[0067] Please refer to the following for details: Figure 5 The first base 41 includes a backrest portion 411 that can rest against the upright body 20, and an extension portion 412 disposed on the backrest portion 411 and forming a certain angle therewith. The extension portion 412 allows the auxiliary screen 50 to rotate at a certain angle. The angle formed by the extension portion 412 and the backrest portion 411 can be greater than or equal to 90°. The backrest portion 411 and the extension portion 412 are an integrated structure, stamped from sheet metal.

[0068] Please refer to the following for details: Figure 2 、 Figure 3 Two locking bases 42 are provided, and are arranged side by side on the first base 41. Two corresponding first locking members 43 are provided. The first base 41 can be directly hung on the vertical pole body 20 through the two side-by-side locking bases 42, and then locked by the two first locking members 43, achieving quick installation. When disassembly is required, the first locking members 43 can be opened. The entire process is simple and quick. The vertical pole body 20 is provided with a through hole 21 for the locking base 42 to be inserted. After the two locking bases 42 are inserted into the through hole 21, the first locking member 43 is screwed to the locking base 42. Therefore, it is only necessary to pre-set the through hole 21 for the locking base 42 to be inserted on the vertical pole body 20, and to use the locking base 42 and the first locking member 43 to achieve quick installation and removal of the first base 41.

[0069] Please refer to the following for details: Figure 3The first locking member 43 includes a locking portion 431 that cooperates with the locking base 42 and a limiting portion 432 for restriction; an external thread is provided on the outer wall of the locking portion 431, and an internal threaded hole that cooperates with the locking portion 431 is provided on the locking base 42, wherein the limiting portion 432 can not only realize the limiting function, but also an anti-slip texture is provided on the outer wall of the limiting portion 432, which can realize manual installation and disassembly. Therefore, the utility model adopts a modular design, has a simple structure, and can be quickly disassembled and assembled without the aid of any tools. It solves the pain points of customers' upgrades and the problem of difficult maintenance of desktop POS machines, greatly reducing customer usage costs and manufacturer maintenance costs.

[0070] Please refer to the following for details: Figure 4 、 Figure 5 The connection assembly 40 of this embodiment also enables quick disassembly and installation of the auxiliary screen 50 and the second base 44. A latching portion 441 is provided at the top of the second base 44, and a slot 51 is provided on the back of the auxiliary screen 50 for the latching portion 441 to engage. The second base 44 is locked to the back of the auxiliary screen 50 via a second locking member 45. Specifically, two latching portions 441 and two slots 51 are provided. After the latching portion 441 engages the slot 51, the second base 44 is fixed to the back of the complex plane via the second locking member 45. The structure of the second locking member 45 is the same as that of the first locking member 43, or screws can be used directly.

[0071] Please refer to the following for details: Figures 6 to 9 The first base 41 and the second base 44 are rotatably connected through the damping assembly 46 to facilitate adjustment of the tilt angle of the secondary screen 50; two groups of damping assemblies 46 are provided, and are symmetrically arranged. First right-angle portions 4121 for installing the damping assembly 46 are provided on both sides of the extension portion 412 of the first base 41, and second right-angle portions 442 for installing the damping assembly 46 are provided on both sides of the second base 44. After installation, the two second right-angle portions 442 are located on the inner side of the first right-angle portion 4121; the damping assembly 46 includes a bolt 461, a first gasket 462, a first damping plate 463, a second gasket 464, a second damping plate 465 and a nut 466. The bolt 461 passes through the first base 41, the first gasket 462, the second base 44, the first damping plate 463, the second gasket 464 and the second damping plate 465 in sequence, and is screwed with the nut 466.

[0072] The working principle of the connection structure in this embodiment is as follows:

[0073] When the host needs to add or install a sub-screen 50, it is only necessary to embed the locking part 441 at the upper end of the second base 44 into the slot 51 of the sub-screen 50. After it fits in place, the second locking piece 45 can be manually tightened to form a semi-finished sub-screen 50, and then the two locking bases 42 on the first base 41 are embedded in the through holes 21 on the vertical pole body 20. After fitting in place, the two first locking pieces 43 are tightened to complete the installation of the sub-screen 50. When the sub-screen 50 is damaged due to screen failure and needs to be replaced, it is only necessary to disassemble the two first locking pieces 43 and the second locking piece 45, or only loosen the second locking piece 45 to complete the disassembly of the sub-screen 50, and then replace the new sub-screen 50 and reassemble it to quickly complete the repair.

[0074] In summary, the present invention has the following advantages over the prior art:

[0075] First, the packaging box of the utility model is provided with a bottom box and a middle box, and multiple placement positions are provided in the bottom box and the middle box, so as to be used for packaging modular desktop terminals. After modularization, flat packaging can be achieved, thereby minimizing warehouse storage costs, transportation costs, dealer inventory costs, and reducing the handling intensity of personnel;

[0076] Second, the desktop terminal adopts a modular structure, which can be better matched with the packaging box in Example 1. In addition, the modular desktop terminal assembly process is also simplified, which can reduce the installation difficulty for users. In particular, if a module is damaged, the after-sales service provider only needs to provide the relevant module, and even inexperienced users can achieve zero-based replacement and installation.

[0077] Third, through the modular shipping solution, compared with the whole-machine shipping solution, the packaging volume is reduced, which can reduce material costs, storage space, and transportation costs, making it greener and more environmentally friendly.

[0078] The above is an exemplary description of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as various non-substantial improvements are made using the method concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the concept and technical solution of the present invention are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
