[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the printer 100 is mounted on the bracket 210 of the support base 200, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, a fixing buckle 110 is provided on the printer 100, and a rotating buckle 220 is provided at a corresponding position on the bracket 210. The rotating buckle 220 is engaged with the fixing buckle 110 to fix the printer 100 on the bracket 210 of the support seat 200, and no special disassembly tools are required during disassembly and assembly, making disassembly and assembly more convenient and quick, saving time and effort.

[0046] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the support base 200 includes a bracket 210, a rotating buckle 220 and a cover plate 230; a receiving groove 2101 is provided on the bracket 210; the rotating buckle 220 is rotatably arranged in the receiving groove 2101, so that the rotating buckle 220 has a first state and a second state; when the rotating buckle 220 rotates to the first state, the rotating buckle 220 extends out of the bracket 210 and is engaged with the fixing buckle 110 to fix the printer 100; when the rotating buckle 220 rotates to the second state, the rotating buckle 220 is located in the receiving groove 2101, and the cover plate 230 is covered on the receiving groove 2101.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, a fixing buckle 110 is provided on the back of the printer 100, and a rotating buckle 220 is provided on the side of the bracket 210. The rotating buckle 220 is rotated manually. When the printer 100 needs to be installed, Figure 4 As shown, rotate the rotating buckle 220 to the first state, at which time the rotating buckle 220 is in an upright state (pop-up state) and extends out of the receiving slot 2101, and then install the printer 100 from top to bottom in the vertical direction, so that the fixed buckle 110 on the back of the printer 100 is engaged with the rotating buckle 220 on the bracket 210 to fix the printer 100. When the printer 100 needs to be disassembled, lift the printer 100 and move it upward to release the engagement between the fixed buckle 110 on the printer 100 and the rotating buckle 220 on the bracket 210, so as to remove the printer 100 from the bracket 210 and realize the disassembly of the printer 100. The entire installation and disassembly process is simple and convenient, saving time and effort, so as to facilitate the replacement and maintenance of the printer 100. After the printer 100 is disassembled from the bracket 210, if the printer 100 is no longer needed to be installed, the rotating buckle 220 can be rotated to the second state, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, at this time, the rotating buckle 220 is in a flat state, and the rotating buckle 220 is retracted into the receiving groove 2101, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, a cover plate 230 can be installed on the receiving groove 2101. The cover plate 230 is a decorative piece that can conceal the rotating buckle 220 within the receiving groove 2101 without affecting the appearance of the entire support base 200. When the printer 100 needs to be installed again, the cover plate 230 is removed, the rotating buckle 220 is rotated to the first position, and the printer 100 is then installed on the bracket 210 of the support base 200.

[0048] In this embodiment, the design of the rotatable rotary buckle 220 satisfies the design requirements of the compatible printer 100 very well. When the printer 100 needs to be installed, the rotary buckle 220 is rotated to put the rotary buckle 220 in a pop-up state, so that the printer 100 is fixed by the engagement between the rotary buckle 220 and the fixed buckle 110 on the printer 100. After the printer 100 is disassembled, the rotary buckle 220 is rotated to put the rotary buckle 220 in a lying state, which does not affect the installation of the cover 230, so that the appearance of the entire support base 200 is not affected after the printer 100 is disassembled.

[0049] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the bracket 210 includes a base 211 and a support plate 212. One end of the support plate 212 is fixedly connected to the base 211. The base 211 is used to support the printer 100. The receiving slot 2101 and the rotating buckle 220 are both provided on the support plate 212. The base 211 is arranged in a horizontal direction, and the support plate 212 is arranged in a vertical direction. The receiving slot 2101 is provided on one side of the support plate 212, and the rotating buckle 220 is provided in the receiving slot 2101. When installing the printer 100, the printer 100 is moved downward in the vertical direction so that the fixing buckle 110 on the back of the printer 100 engages with the rotating buckle 220 on the support plate 212. The bottom of the printer 100 is supported by the base 211, thereby securing the printer 100.

[0050] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, the bracket 210 further includes an inclined plate 213. One end of the inclined plate 213 is fixedly connected to the end of the support plate 212 away from the base 211. The other end of the inclined plate 213 extends diagonally upward and is used to mount the cash register display screen. The inclined plate 213 and the printer 100 are located on the same side of the support plate 212. The inclined plate 213 is arranged above the support plate 212 to facilitate the installation of the display screen for user viewing.

[0051] In some embodiments, as Figure 6As shown, the rotating buckle 220 includes a rotating shaft 221 and two latches 222. The two latches 222 are arranged on the rotating shaft 221 at intervals along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 221. The rotating shaft 221 is rotatably connected to the bracket 210. When the rotating shaft 221 rotates, the two latches 222 rotate, causing the latches 222 to be in an upright position or a flat position. When the latches 222 are in the upright position, they can be engaged with the fixed buckle 110 on the printer 100; when the latches 222 are in the flat position, they can be stored in the receiving slot 2101.

[0052] Further, such as Figure 6 As shown, the rotating buckle 220 further includes a connecting portion 223, which is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 221. Two clips 222 are provided on the connecting portion 223 at intervals along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 221 and are located on a side of the connecting portion 223 away from the rotating shaft 221. A notch 2231 is provided on a side of the connecting portion 223 adjacent to the clips 222. The notch 2231 is provided on the connecting portion 223 so that when the rotating buckle 220 is in a flat position, the user can easily move the rotating buckle 220 through the notch 2231 to rotate the rotating buckle 220 from the flat position to the upright position.

[0053] Further, such as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, a stop portion 2211 is protruded from the rotating shaft 221, and a first stop groove 2102 and a second stop groove 2103 are provided on the bracket 210; when the rotating buckle 220 rotates until the stop portion 2211 cooperates with the first stop groove 2102, the rotating buckle 220 is limited to the first state to maintain the engagement between the rotating buckle 220 and the fixed buckle 110 on the printer 100, thereby improving the stability of the printer 100; when the rotating buckle 220 rotates until the stop portion 2211 cooperates with the second stop groove 2103, the rotating buckle 220 is limited to the second state.

[0054] There is a step portion in the receiving groove 2101, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the step portion includes a first step portion 214 and a second step portion 215 connected to each other, the top surface of the second step portion 215 is higher than the top surface of the first step portion 214, the first stop groove 2102 is arranged on the top surface of the first step portion 214, and the second stop groove 2103 is arranged on the side of the second step portion 215 close to the first step portion 214.

[0055] The stopper 2211 is located on the opposite side of the buckle 222. When the rotatable buckle 220 rotates to the upright position (the first position), the buckle 222 is located on the top surface of the rotating shaft 221, and the stopper 2211 is located on the bottom surface of the rotating shaft 221. At this time, the stopper 2211 just cooperates with the first stopper groove 2102 on the top surface of the first step portion 214, thereby confining the rotatable buckle 220 to the first position. When the rotatable buckle 220 rotates to the flat position (the second position), the buckle 222 is located on the right side of the rotating shaft 221, and the stopper 2211 is located on the left side of the rotating shaft 221. The stopper 2211 just cooperates with the second stopper groove 2103 on the side of the second step portion 215, thereby confining the rotatable buckle 220 to the second position.

[0056] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, there are two rotating buckles 220, which are symmetrically arranged on the bracket 210. Two fixed buckles 110 are also symmetrically arranged on the back of the printer 100. The two fixed buckles 110 are correspondingly engaged with the two rotating buckles 220 to improve the stability of the printer 100 and prevent it from shaking.

[0057] This application also provides an embodiment of a cash register, such as Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the cash register includes a printer 100 and a support base 200 of the cash register described in any of the above embodiments. The printer 100 is detachably mounted on the support base 210. When the fixing buckle 110 and the rotating buckle 220 are engaged, the printer 100 is fixed. The cash register of this embodiment is compatible with different models of printers 100 to meet the different usage needs of users.

[0058] To make the installation of the printer 100 easier and more convenient, Figure 1 As shown, the back of the printer 100 is provided with a first mating surface 120 and a second mating surface 130, and the fixing buckle 110 is arranged on the second mating surface 130; the first mating surface 120 is parallel to the inclined plate 213 of the support seat 200; the second mating surface 130 is parallel to the support plate 212 of the support seat 200; when the fixing buckle 110 and the rotating buckle 220 are unlocked, the sum of the vertical height required for the printer 100 to move and the height of the second mating surface 130 is less than or equal to the height of the support plate 212.

[0059] The first mating surface 120 is located above the second mating surface 130 and is parallel to the inclined plate 213 of the bracket 210. When installing the printer 100, the printer 100 can be installed by simply moving it along the inclined plate 213, eliminating the need to find an installation angle and simplifying the installation process. When disassembling the printer 100, the distance the printer 100 moves upward must be greater than the travel required to unlock the fixed buckle 110 and the rotating buckle 220. The travel required to unlock the fixed buckle 110 and the rotating buckle 220 is related to the width of the rotating buckle 220. Assuming that the vertical width of the rotating buckle 220 is 5 mm, the printer 100 must move upward by at least 5 mm to disengage the fixed buckle 110 from the rotating buckle 220, thereby unlocking the fixed buckle 110 and the rotating buckle 220. Therefore, to ensure that the printer 100 can be unlocked smoothly, it is necessary to ensure that the sum of the vertical height required for the printer 100 to move when the fixed buckle 110 and the rotating buckle 220 are unlocked and the height of the second mating surface 130 is less than or equal to the height of the support plate 212, so that the height difference (spacing) between the support plate 212 and the second mating surface 130 can meet the upward movement distance of the printer 100 when unlocked. Assuming that the vertical width of the rotating buckle 220 is 5 mm, the height difference between the support plate 212 and the second mating surface 130 is greater than 5 mm. For example, the height difference between the support plate 212 and the second mating surface 130 can be 6 mm, 7 mm, etc. This height difference ensures smooth unlocking of the printer 100 while preventing a large height difference from causing an excessive spacing between the tilting plate 213 and the first mating surface 120, which would affect the overall appearance of the cash register and improve the overall aesthetics of the cash register.

[0060] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own focus. For parts that are not described or recorded in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant description of other embodiments.

[0061] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered as the scope of protection of the present application.
