[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cash register technology, and more specifically, to a folding cash register. Background Technology
[0002] A cash register is a device used in commercial transactions, primarily for processing sales transactions, calculating total prices, recording sales information, and printing receipts. It is commonly used in industries such as retail, catering, and supermarkets, and is an indispensable tool in the daily operations of businesses. The functions of modern cash registers have expanded from traditional mechanical cash registers to electronic and intelligent devices, capable of handling more complex business needs.
[0003] The existing cash register structure mainly includes a support base, a support frame, and a control screen. Generally, the control screen is a flip-foldable mechanism, but the support frame is usually fixed on the support base and cannot be folded. The inability to fold the support frame means that the device cannot be reduced in size, which will result in more space being occupied during storage and transportation, increasing transportation costs. Because the support frame cannot be folded, the device may be easily bumped and damaged during transportation. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a foldable cash register, which has the advantage of being easy to fold.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a folding cash register, including a support base, a support frame mounted on the top of the support base, a display screen mounted on the top of the support frame, a movable cavity formed on the inner side of the support base, a fixed rod fixedly connected to the inner side of the movable cavity, a movable plate movably sleeved on the outer side of the fixed rod, a first rack plate fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the movable plate, a meshing tooth provided on the right side of the movable plate, a cylindrical groove formed on the right side of the inner wall of the movable cavity, a fixing component mounted on the inner side of the cylindrical groove, the support frame including a fixed block fixedly connected to a fixing block, a rotating shaft fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixing block, a cylindrical gear fixedly sleeved on the middle of the outer side of the rotating shaft, and the first rack plate meshing with the cylindrical gear.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a folding cash register, including a support base 1, a support frame 2 mounted on the top of the support base 1, a display screen 3 mounted on the top of the support frame 2, a movable cavity 101 formed on the inner side of the support base 1, a fixed rod 102 fixedly connected to the inner side of the movable cavity 101, a movable plate 103 movably sleeved on the outer side of the fixed rod 102, a first rack plate 104 fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the movable plate 103, and a meshing tooth 1 on the right side of the movable plate 103. 05. A cylindrical groove 106 is provided on the right side of the inner wall of the movable cavity 101. A fixing component 4 is installed on the inner side of the cylindrical groove 106. The support frame 2 includes a fixed connection to the fixing block 201. A rotating shaft 202 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixing block 201. A cylindrical gear 205 is fixedly sleeved on the middle of the outer side of the rotating shaft 202. The first rack plate 104 meshes with the cylindrical gear 205. A connecting groove 14 is provided on the top of the support base 1. The connecting groove 14 is connected to the movable cavity 101.
[0024] In this embodiment, when the support frame 2 needs to be folded, the control block 403 is pulled to the right, causing the cylindrical rod 401 to move the second rack plate 402 to the right. The spring 404 is compressed, causing the second rack plate 402 to separate from the meshing tooth 105. Then, the support plate body 204 is flipped to the front, so that the surface of the support plate body 204 is in contact with the top of the rubber support block 13. During the flipping process, the movable plate 103 moves to the back through the meshing action of the cylindrical gear 205 and the first rack plate 104. Then, the control block 403 is released, the spring 404 releases its elastic force, and the second rack plate 402 moves to the left, so that the second rack plate 402 inserts into the inner side of the meshing tooth 105, thereby fixing the movable plate 103 and completing the folding of the support frame 2. Finally, the display screen 3 is folded, reducing the size of the cash register, making it easier to store and transport the cash register, and reducing transportation costs.
[0025] Connecting blocks 203 are fixedly sleeved on both sides of the outer side of the rotating shaft 202, and a support plate body 204 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting blocks 203.
[0026] When the rotating shaft 202 rotates, it can cause the support plate body 204 to flip. When the support plate body 204 contacts the top of the rubber support block 13, the support plate body 204 is in a horizontal state, and the rubber support block 13 supports the support plate body 204.
[0027] The support base 1 has four fixed support feet 11 at its bottom corners, support pads 12 at the bottom of the support feet 11, and rubber support blocks 13 at the top front of the support base 1.
[0028] The support pad 12 is made of rubber, which increases the contact area and friction with the support surface, improving the stability of the cash register when it is placed.
[0029] The fixing component 4 includes a cylindrical rod 401 that is movably sleeved inside the cylindrical groove 106. A second rack plate 402 is fixedly connected to the left side of the cylindrical rod 401, and a control block 403 is fixedly connected to the right side of the cylindrical rod 401. A spring 404 is provided on the outer side of the cylindrical rod 401, and the spring 404 is located between the second rack plate 402 and the right side of the inner wall of the movable cavity 101.
[0030] The spring 404 exerts a leftward thrust on the second rack plate 402, thereby engaging the second rack plate 402 with the meshing tooth 105, fixing the movable plate 103, and subsequently fixing the angle of the support plate body 204.
[0031] The cylindrical rod 401 is fixedly connected to both the front and back sides of the cylindrical rod 401, and the cylindrical groove 106 is provided with both the front and back sides of the cylindrical groove 106. The positioning groove 107 and the positioning block 405 are mutually compatible.
[0032] The positioning groove 107 and the positioning block 405 work together to position the cylindrical rod 401, preventing the cylindrical rod 401 from causing the second rack plate 402 to rotate and thus preventing the second rack plate 402 from engaging with the meshing teeth 105.
[0033] The support base 1 has a finger groove 15 on its right side, which is connected to the cylindrical groove 106. The control block 403 is located inside the finger groove 15.
[0034] The spring 404 exerts a pushing force to the left on the second rack plate 402, so that the control block 403 is placed inside the finger groove 15, avoiding accidental contact with the control block 403 and making it more aesthetically pleasing.
[0035] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0036] When the support frame 2 needs to be folded, pull the control block 403 to the right, so that the cylindrical rod 401 drives the second rack plate 402 to move to the right. The spring 404 is compressed, so that the second rack plate 402 separates from the meshing tooth 105. Then, flip the support plate body 204 to the front, so that the surface of the support plate body 204 is in contact with the top of the rubber support block 13. During the flipping process, through the meshing action of the cylindrical gear 205 and the first rack plate 104, the movable plate 103 moves to the back. Then, release the control block 403, the spring 404 releases its elastic force, and drives the second rack plate 402 to the left, so that the second rack plate 402 inserts into the inside of the meshing tooth 105, and then fixes the movable plate 103, completing the folding of the support frame 2. Finally, the display screen 3 is folded, reducing the size of the cash register, making it easier to store and transport the cash register, and reducing transportation costs.
