Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cash register technology, and more specifically, relates to a rotatable channel cash register. Background Technology

[0002] In the modern business environment, self-checkout machines have become an indispensable part of the retail industry. With continuous technological advancements and consumers' increasing demands for shopping efficiency and convenience, self-checkout machines have emerged. They allow consumers to complete the shopping process themselves, including scanning items and making payments, significantly saving labor costs, reducing customer waiting time, and improving the overall shopping experience.

[0003] While traditional self-checkout machines have achieved self-checkout functionality to some extent, they suffer from several drawbacks. Firstly, in terms of functional layout, traditional self-checkout screens often have only a single function. They may only display product and price information, limiting promotional channels and hindering effective advertising and secondary marketing to customers. Alternatively, they may only play advertisements, failing to meet the cashier's need for intuitive product and price information display, thus affecting the convenience and accuracy of the checkout process. Secondly, traditional machines are lacking in structural stability and ease of installation. For example, the connection between the screen and the supporting structure is not robust enough, easily leading to loosening or even damage during frequent use. This not only affects normal operation but also increases maintenance costs and downtime. Furthermore, the installation of each functional module is complex, requiring maintenance personnel to spend considerable time and effort disassembling and reinstalling components, reducing maintenance efficiency and impacting store operations. Finally, traditional self-checkout machines also lack diversity in product recognition and payment methods. The product identification methods are relatively simple, mostly relying on handheld barcode scanners. This makes it difficult to accurately identify products with damaged, soiled, or missing barcodes, causing inconvenience for both customers and cashiers. Regarding payment methods, while common bank card payments are supported, the design of the payment devices is not ideal. For example, the placement and use of the handheld financial handle are not convenient, easily leading to customer errors and affecting the payment experience. Utility Model Content

[0068] Specifically, the principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0069] The main and secondary screens, serving as the primary information display carriers, operate based on liquid crystal display (LCD) or organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display technology. The main and secondary screens are connected to the support pole via screws. This mechanical connection utilizes the tightening action of the screws to securely link the screens and the support pole together. The screw threads engage with the screw holes on the screens and the support pole, and the friction generated by tightening the screws prevents relative displacement between the screens and the support pole. The support pole is connected to the connecting plate via a rotating hinge. The design of the rotating hinge allows the support pole to rotate within a certain angle range. The internal shaft and bearing structure of the rotating hinge allows the support pole to rotate around the shaft, while the bearing reduces friction during rotation, ensuring smooth rotation. The connecting plate is connected to the housing via screws, further securing the entire screen and support pole assembly to the housing and ensuring the stability of the equipment structure.

[0070] The door is connected to the machine housing via hooks and screws. The hooks are used to initially position the door, aligning it with the corresponding opening on the machine housing. The door is then secured to the housing with screws. This connection method facilitates the installation and removal of the door while ensuring its stability during normal equipment use. For equipment maintenance, simply loosen the screws and use the hooks to open the door and access the interior of the equipment.

[0071] The handheld barcode scanner bracket is connected to the housing with screws, and a limiting opening on the bracket is used to limit and fix the handheld barcode scanner. The shape and size of the limiting opening match the shape of the barcode scanner. When the barcode scanner is placed on the bracket, the limiting opening can prevent the barcode scanner from shifting in the horizontal and vertical directions, ensuring the stability of the barcode scanner when not in use. At the same time, the connection method between the barcode scanner bracket and the housing also ensures the robustness of the entire bracket structure.

[0072] The financial handle holder is connected to the housing with screws, and the handheld financial handle rests on the holder. The holder's design provides a stable platform for the financial handle, preventing it from falling or wobbling when not in use. The sloping design on the top of the housing and the curved baffle support the POS keyboard utilize principles of mechanics. The sloping design allows the POS keyboard to be placed at a natural angle, conforming to ergonomic principles and facilitating cashier operation. The curved baffle, in conjunction with the keyboard's limiting mechanism, restricts the keyboard's movement horizontally, preventing displacement during operation and improving the accuracy and comfort of keyboard operation.
