Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an assembled POS machine card swiping wall structure, belonging to the field of POS machines. Background Technology
[0002] A POS machine is a terminal reader equipped with barcode or OCR code technology, and has cash or barter credit disbursement functions. Traditional POS machines have an integrated design for the card reader and casing. For example, patent application CN202411163362.2, entitled "A POS Machine with a Camera Flipping Device," discloses an invention where a hinged hinge opens the latch frame via an operator, and the base plate is fixed to the machine body via a pin. The operator only needs to drive an electric conveyor to pull the placement plate through the connection frame, allowing the base frame to slide and adjust on the electric conveyor, thus transporting the camera device from the latch housing. Then, a swing support frame drives the flipper on the latch plate to operate the electric rod, allowing the placement platform to flip and adjust under the action of the flipper and electric rod, thereby flipping and adjusting the camera device fixed on the placement platform. This improves its practicality and makes it more convenient and usable in actual use; and so on.
[0003] Existing POS machines generally require the creation of new upper or lower shells to achieve different product functions. For example, if there is a basic version of a smart POS machine, and a QR code scanning version of the POS machine needs to be developed, then it is necessary to create new molds for the upper or lower shell, which is costly, labor-intensive, and results in inconsistent appearance.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a POS machine card reader structure that allows switching between different functions of a POS machine simply by changing the card reader wall. Utility Model Content

[0031] Reference Figures 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides a specific implementation of an assembled POS machine card reader wall structure, including a first housing 10, a second housing 20, and a card reader wall 30. One end face of the first housing 10 is opposite to one end face of the second housing 20 and is detachably fixedly connected. The card reader wall 30 is disposed on the side of one end of the first housing 10 and the second housing 20, and the card reader wall 30 is detachably fixedly connected to the first housing 10 or the second housing 20. The first mold opening of this utility model requires the first housing 10, the second housing 20, and the card reader wall 30 to be molded together. When switching to a POS machine with different functions, it is only necessary to redesign the card reader wall 30, open a mold, produce a new card reader wall 30, and replace the card reader wall 30. The appearance changes are small, and the serialization characteristics of the product are maintained. That is, only the card reader wall 30 needs to be molded. The molded object size is small, and all plastic parts other than the card reader wall 30 share low costs and relatively low workload.
[0032] Specifically, the card reader wall 30 is detachably and fixedly connected to the first housing 10 or the second housing 20 via a plug-in structure.
[0033] As a specific implementation of this embodiment, the plug-in structure includes a protrusion 40 and a recessed portion 50 whose contours are adapted to the protrusion 40.
[0034] The protrusion 40 is vertically disposed on one end face of the first housing 10, and the recessed portion 50 is disposed on one end face of the card reader wall 30 and is used to cooperate with the protrusion 40 to form a plug-in structure so as to detachably and fix the card reader wall 30 to the first housing 10.
[0035] Furthermore, the protrusion 40 is composed of multiple polyhedral columns arranged in a linear array, and the recessed portion 50 corresponds to multiple polygonal groove structures arranged in a linear array.

[0037] The first outer shell 10 of the POS machine is separate from the card reader wall 30. The card reader wall 30 and the POS machine are aligned and matched by the insertion and cooperation of the protrusion 40 and the recessed part 50.
[0038] Next, this utility model includes a screw post 60 and a positioning plate 70. The screw post 60 and the positioning plate 70 are detachably and fixedly connected by screws. The card reader wall 30, which has been inserted and positioned, is then locked with screws to firmly fix the card reader wall 30 to the POS machine. When replacing different versions of the card reader wall 30, the screws can be loosened to replace it. It should be noted that the barcode scanning module or customer display device is pre-fixed on the printer bracket.
[0039] Furthermore, there are multiple screw posts 60 arranged linearly and horizontally fixed on one end face of the card reader wall 30. The positioning plate 70 is disposed on the end face of the first housing 10 and is used to position the screw posts 60 so that the screws can pass through the positioning plate 70 and the screw posts 60 to detachably and fix the card reader wall 30 to the first housing 10.
[0040] In this embodiment, the second end face of the card reader wall 30 opposite to the insertion structure is smooth and flat, which is the conventional version of the card reader wall 30; as Figures 1 to 5 The card reader wall 30 is shown.
[0041] In other embodiments, the second end face of the card reader 30 opposite to the insertion structure is provided with a window for scanning codes, i.e., a code-scanning version of the card reader 30; for example... Figure 6 The card reader wall 30 is shown.
[0042] In other embodiments, the second end face of the card reader 30 opposite to the insertion structure is provided with a display window, namely, a customer display version of the card reader 30; such as Figure 7 The card reader wall 30 is shown.
[0043] 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.
