Detailed Implementation
[0028] The technical solutions in this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] This application discloses a POS machine that supports multiple payment methods. In some examples, the POS machine that supports multiple payment methods disclosed in this application includes a host 2, a base 11, a thermal printing module 12, a battery 13, a first connection interface group 14, and a second connection interface group 15.
[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The base 11 and the main unit 2 are connected by a sliding connection.
[0031] In some possible implementations, the base 11 and the main unit 2 are respectively provided with a slide groove 31 and a slide rail 32.
[0032] Please see Figure 4 The first connection interface group 14 is located on the base 11 and is electrically connected to the thermal printing module 12 and the battery 13 respectively. The second connection interface group 15 is located on the host 2 and is used to connect to the first connection interface group 14.
[0033] The first connection interface group 14 and the second connection interface group 15 are used for power supply and communication.
[0034] In some possible implementations, the first connection interface group 14 includes two Type-C plugs 141, and the second connection interface group 15 includes two Type-C slots 142.
[0035] The Type-C plug 141 is inserted into the corresponding Type-C slot 142. The reason for choosing the Type-C connection method is that the Type-C connection method does not need to distinguish between the front and back, and at the same time has a large contact area and sufficient fixing force at the connection.
[0036] Both the thermal printing module 12 and the battery 13 are located on the base 11. The battery 13 supplies power to the host 2 and the thermal printing module 12. The host 2 is responsible for driving the thermal printing module 12 to print receipts.
[0037] When the host 2 needs to be updated, a new host 2 can be directly replaced. The base 11 does not need to be replaced. When the battery 13 in the base 11 is depleted, a new base 11 can be directly replaced to print receipts.
[0038] In some examples, please refer to Figure 5The base 11 is provided with an elastic washer 143, and the fixed part of the Type-C plug 141 is located in the elastic washer 143 and is fixedly connected with the elastic washer 143. The elastic washer 143 can automatically adjust the position of the Type-C plug 141 in a small range when the Type-C plug 141 is connected with the Type-C slot 142, so as to ensure the success of the connection.
[0039] In some examples, the base 11 is provided with a shielding layer 3 on the surface facing the host 2 and / or the host 2 is provided with a shielding layer 3 on the surface facing the base 11. The shielding layer 3 can shield the electromagnetic interference generated during the working process of the thermal printing module 12 and the battery 13, so as to avoid the influence of the electromagnetic interference on the normal working of the host 2.
[0040] In some possible implementation manners, the shielding layer 3 can be directly attached to the host 2.
[0041] In some examples, please refer to Figure 7 In addition, the host 2 is additionally provided with a charge and discharge management module 41 and a charging power supply 42. The charge and discharge management module 41 is located in the host 2 and is electrically connected with the circuit and the second connection interface group 15 in the host 2. The charging power supply 42 is electrically connected with the charge and discharge management module 41.
[0042] The charge and discharge management module 41 and the charging power supply 42 can make the host 2 work independently, that is, when the power of the base 11 is consumed, the host 2 does not need to be shut down, and the host 2 can directly print after the new base 11 is replaced, thereby skipping the restart and authentication steps.
[0043] In some examples, the host 2 is additionally provided with a biometric identification function module 4. The biometric identification function module 4 can include a fingerprint module, a face recognition module, a palm vein module, an iris recognition module and a voiceprint recognition module. The base 11 can be provided with one or more biometric identification function modules 4, and the specific biometric identification function module 4 can be determined according to the use scene.
[0044] Of course, when the payment method or the security authentication is updated, the new host 2 can also be directly replaced.
[0045] The embodiments of the specific implementation manner are the preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape and principle of the present application should be covered by the protection scope of the present application.
