By raising the height of the shopping basket, it is easier for customers to take out the items in the shopping basket for scanning, saving time and effort and improving the customer's shopping experience.
[0023] In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes a sliding cavity 9 opened in the cash register 1, symmetrically distributed limiting rods 10 are installed in the sliding cavity 9, a lifting plate 11 is slidably arranged on the limiting rods 10, the lifting plate 11 is connected to the connecting frame 14, a threaded rod 12 that is threadedly connected to the lifting plate 11 is rotatably arranged in the sliding cavity 9, and a motor 13 that is connected to the threaded rod 12 is installed in the sliding cavity 9.
[0024] In this embodiment, when a customer needs to use self-checkout, they place their shopping basket in the groove 16 of the bracket 15. For some shopping baskets, wheels are added to the bottom for easy dragging. The groove 16 of this application also has a wheel groove 17, which makes it easier for shopping baskets with wheels to be pushed into the bracket 15, making it more convenient to use. After the shopping basket is placed in the groove 16 of the bracket 15, the motor 13 is started by the built-in controller. The motor 13 drives the threaded rod 12 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 12 will drive the lifting plate 11 to rise along the limit rod 10, thereby driving the connecting frame 14 to rise synchronously, and then driving the bracket 15 to rise, so that the shopping basket in the groove 16 of the bracket 15 can be raised to the height of the items to be scanned. This makes it convenient for customers to take out the items in the shopping basket one by one for scanning and confirmation. By raising the height of the shopping basket, it is convenient for customers to take out the items in the shopping basket for scanning, saving time and effort and improving the customer's shopping experience.

[0030] In this embodiment, after the product on the shelf 2 is scanned by the barcode scanner 4 and the corresponding product information is displayed on the display screen 3, the product is placed in the storage slot of the storage rack 6 and weighed by the weighing plate 8. The weight is used to compare the number of scanned products to avoid the problem of missing products.
[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When a customer needs to use self-checkout, they place their shopping basket in the groove 16 of the bracket 15. For some shopping baskets, wheels are added to the bottom for easier dragging. The groove 16 of this application also has a wheel groove 17, making it easier for shopping baskets with wheels to be pushed into the bracket 15, thus improving usability. After the shopping basket is placed in the groove 16 of the bracket 15, the built-in controller starts the motor 13. The motor 13 drives the threaded rod 12 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 12 causes the lifting plate 11 to rise along the limit rod 10, thereby driving the connecting frame 14 to rise synchronously, which in turn causes the bracket 15 to rise, allowing the shopping basket in the groove 16 of the bracket 15 to move upwards. The shopping basket can be raised to the height of the items to be scanned, making it convenient for customers to take items out of the basket one by one for scanning and confirmation. By raising the height of the shopping basket, it is easier for customers to take out the items for scanning, saving time and effort and improving the customer's shopping experience. After the barcode scanner 4 scans the item and displays the corresponding item information on the display screen 3, it is removed and placed into the storage slot of the storage rack 6. The item is then weighed by the weighing plate 8. The weight is used to compare the number of scanned items to avoid missing any items. The above operation is repeated until all items in the shopping basket have been scanned. Finally, payment is made by scanning the bill information displayed on the display screen 3.
[0032] This utility model places a shopping basket in the groove 16 of the bracket 15, and then raises it to the same height as the shelf under the drive of the lifting mechanism. This makes it convenient for customers to take out the items in the shopping basket one by one for scanning and confirmation. By raising the height of the shopping basket, it is easier for customers to take out the items in the shopping basket for scanning, saving time and effort and improving the customer's shopping experience. The shelf 2 can be used to place the items for scanning. The barcode scanner 4 scans the items, and the display screen 3 displays the scanned item information and price. The scanned items are placed on the weighing plate 8 of the storage slot 7 for weighing, which facilitates the comparison of the quantity of items. In addition, the lighting lamp 5 can provide auxiliary lighting.
