Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a stacked structure of a POS machine camera module and a speaker device, belonging to the field of POS machines. Background Technology
[0002] A POS machine is a terminal reader equipped with barcode or OCR code technology, which has cash or barter credit disbursement functions. Traditional POS machines are typically stacked with the rear camera module and speaker placed in the center of the back of the POS machine, between the battery and the printer compartment.
[0003] If the camera module and speaker are stacked in the center of the back of a traditional POS machine, the following problems exist: First, the camera module and speaker are large in size and need to avoid the field of view of the camera, so the whole unit needs to be high above the surface of the POS machine, resulting in a huge overall size; Second, due to the protruding rear camera, it is not aesthetically pleasing and affects the hand grip experience, both in terms of appearance and usability; Third, the speaker is large in size, so the structural thickness needs to be increased, affecting the overall thickness.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a stacking structure that is securely installed and can stack and fix camera modules and speaker devices. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a roller shutter door controller that is compact in structure, easy to install, and small in overall size.

Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0026] In the description of this utility model, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0027] Reference Figures 1-6As shown, this embodiment provides a specific implementation of a stacked structure for a POS machine camera module and speaker device, comprising a first housing 10, a second housing 20, a camera module 30, a speaker 40, a fixing bracket 50, and a flexible circuit board 60. The flexible circuit board 60 and the camera module 30 are sequentially embedded on the first end face 501 of the fixing bracket 50, and the speaker 40 is embedded on the second end face 502 of the fixing bracket 50. The fixing bracket 50 is vertically disposed inside the first side face 201 of the second housing 20. The first housing 10 and the second housing 20 are detachably connected and fixed to enclose the fixing bracket 50.
[0028] This utility model embeds the speaker 40 and camera module 30 onto the fixed bracket 50, which is then fixed to the printer bracket via a snap-fit mechanism, and further fixed below the printer motor. This maximizes the utilization of internal space through structural stacking design, achieving economic efficiency in the overall size of the POS machine. Under this premise, the overall structure is compact and simple, allowing for quicker and easier assembly. The appearance design can be simpler and more aesthetically pleasing, with clearer functional area divisions, while greatly optimizing the grip experience in the hand area.
[0029] Specifically, the first end face 501 of the fixed bracket 50 has a first receiving groove 503 and a second receiving groove 504 for accommodating the camera module 30, and the first receiving groove 503 and the second receiving groove 504 are arranged side by side.
[0030] Furthermore, the first end 601 of the flexible circuit board 60 corresponds to the outline of the first receiving groove 503 and the second receiving groove 504, the second end 602 of the flexible circuit board 60 is exposed, and a plug 603 is provided at the second end 602 of the flexible circuit board 60.
[0031] The above technical solution means that the camera module 30 is connected to the main circuit board of the POS machine through the flexible circuit board 60. The flexible circuit board 60 can be bent completely, which ensures that the camera module 30 can be fully integrated and that the camera module 30 can work normally without interfering with each other.
[0032] Specifically, the third end face 505 of the fixed bracket 50 has a third receiving groove 506, and the third receiving groove 506 accommodates a speaker 40.
[0033] Furthermore, the fixed bracket 50 and the first side 201 of the second housing 20 are detachably connected and fixed by a plug-in structure.
[0034] Furthermore, the plug-in structure includes a protrusion 70 and a recessed portion that is adapted to the protrusion 70;
[0035] The protrusion 70 is provided on the fourth end face 507 of the fixed bracket 50, and the recessed part is provided on the first side 201 of the second outer shell 20 and is used to cooperate with the protrusion 70 to form a plug-in structure so as to detachably and fix the fixed bracket 50 and the second outer shell 20.
[0036] Alternatively, the protrusion 70 is provided on the first side 201 of the second housing 20, and the recessed portion is provided on the fourth end face 507 of the fixed bracket 50, and is used to cooperate with the protrusion 70 to form a plug-in structure, so as to detachably and fix the fixed bracket 50 and the second housing 20.
[0037] As one possible specific implementation of this embodiment, the protrusion 70 is a multifaceted columnar body or multiple multifaceted columnar bodies arranged in a linear array, and the recessed part corresponds to a multifaceted columnar or multiple polygonal groove structures arranged in a linear array, allowing for more diverse design processing.
[0038] As one possible specific implementation of this embodiment, the fixed bracket 50 is adjacent to the paper tray area 90 and located below the printer motor, which fills the empty space of the traditional POS machine, maximizes the use of the space at the head of the POS machine, ensures the minimization of the whole machine in terms of size, and ensures the maximum space utilization of the whole machine in terms of space assembly. At the same time, compared with the old solution, the hand grip area 11 has no obstruction, the grip experience is more comfortable, and the design is more complete and unified.
[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
