Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cash register technology, and in particular to an aluminum alloy bracket for a cash register, as well as a cash register and a cash scale having the aforementioned aluminum alloy bracket. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread adoption of mobile payments, desktop cash registers with barcode scanning modules have become increasingly popular in many settings, such as large supermarkets, restaurants, and retail stores, where they are typically located at the checkout counter. To simplify operation for cashiers, enhance user experience, and promote self-service checkout, current cash registers are becoming increasingly feature-rich, incorporating a wider range of components. This increased integration of modules and weight necessitates careful consideration of the cash register's structural stability.

[0003] Current cash registers typically use a plastic shell as the supporting frame for the entire machine. This results in poor structural stability and durability, as well as limited structural strength and load-bearing capacity. Especially when the cash register integrates multiple functional modules, it is prone to deformation or breakage after long-term use. In addition, plastic has poor thermal conductivity, which cannot effectively dissipate the heat generated inside the device during operation. This may cause the internal electronic components of the cash register to overheat, affecting performance and shortening its lifespan. Furthermore, plastic has poor corrosion resistance. If it is exposed to humid or high-temperature environments for a long time, it is prone to aging, further affecting the structural strength of the entire device. Summary of the Invention
