Detailed Implementation

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-7 An integrated cash register is designed to address the issue that the display screen, the core interactive component of an integrated cash register, lacks protective measures when not in use or during machine storage, making it susceptible to external damage. Furthermore, since the components of an integrated cash register are highly integrated, damage to one component necessitates the entire device being returned to the factory for repair, resulting in high repair costs and other shortcomings of integrated cash registers.

[0029] As a further technical solution proposed in this utility model, the device includes a cash register screen 3, and further includes: a semi-circular ring sleeve 4, which is rotatably mounted on the cash register screen 3; a baffle 5, which is slidably mounted on the semi-circular ring sleeve 4; the baffle 5 has a through groove 5.2 adapted to the barcode scanning part 3.4; and a pin assembly, which is oppositely mounted on the cash register screen 3. When the semi-circular ring sleeve 4 is engaged with the pin assembly at the top of the arc of the cash register screen 3, the semi-circular ring sleeve 4 and the baffle 5 seal the display screen 3.3. Specifically, when the cash register screen 3 is not in use or is stored, the rotating semi-circular ring sleeve 4 engages with the pin assembly, so that the semi-circular ring sleeve 4 and the baffle 5 cooperate to seal the display screen 3.3, thus providing protection for the display screen 3.3. Figure 6 As shown in the diagram, when using display screen 3.3, the semi-circular ring 4 is rotated to offset it from display screen 3.3, as shown in the diagram. Figure 2 As shown in the diagram, the baffle 5 slides down synchronously, causing the scanning section 3.4 to overlap with the through slot 5.2 and open the scanning section 3.4, making it convenient for customers to scan and pay. This device protects the display screen 3.3 and the scanning section 3.4, reducing or even preventing damage to the display screen from external sources due to the lack of protective measures. In contrast, the components of an integrated cash register are highly integrated, and if one component is damaged, the entire device needs to be returned to the factory for repair, resulting in expensive repair costs.

[0030] Each latch assembly includes a connected base 3.2 and a latch 6. Each base 3.2 is positioned opposite to the cash register screen 3. A limiting groove 4.3 is provided on the semi-circular ring sleeve 4 to engage with each latch 6. In this embodiment, the cash register screen 3 has a guide groove 3.1, specifically an annular groove. The guide groove 3.1 slides with the semi-circular ring sleeve 4 to... Figure 2 For reference, the POS screen 3 is divided into an upper semicircle and a lower semicircle with its center point. When the semicircular ring 4 rotates and overlaps with the upper semicircle, it obstructs the display screen 3.3. Figure 6 As shown in the diagram, when the semicircular ring 4 rotates and overlaps with the lower semicircle, the baffle 5 slides down the semicircular ring 4 under its own weight, as shown in the diagram. Figure 4 As shown in the diagram, until the protrusion 5.3 is located within the groove 4.1, it serves to limit and support the baffle 5. At this point, the through groove 5.2 coincides with the scanning part 3.4. Opening the scanning part 3.4 allows... Figure 3 As shown in the diagram, each time the semicircular ring 4 rotates, it is fixed by the pin assembly, as shown. Figure 5 As shown in the diagram, the stability of the semi-circular ring 4 after rotation is improved by the pin assembly.

[0031] In another embodiment of this utility model, a groove 4.2 is formed on the semi-circular ring 4, the groove 4.2 slides in cooperation with the baffle 5, and the baffle 5 is provided with limiting parts 5.1 that abut against each groove 4.2. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in the diagram, when the display screen 3.3 is not in use, it is protected by the semi-circular ring 4 overlapping with the upper semi-circular part, while the baffle 5 is limited by the limiting part 5.1 abutting against the slide groove 4.2.

[0032] In another embodiment of this utility model, the through groove 5.2 is specifically a rectangular structure, with grooves 4.1 oppositely opened on the semi-circular ring 4, and protrusions 5.3 oppositely arranged on the baffle 5 to cooperate with each groove 4.1. When each protrusion 5.3 cooperates with each groove 4.1, the through groove 5.2 overlaps and opens with the scanning part 3.4. Further, as... Figure 4As shown in the diagram, when the semicircular ring 4 rotates and overlaps with the lower semicircular part, the limiting part 5.1 on the baffle 5 no longer abuts against the groove 4.2, allowing the baffle 5 to slide down after flipping until the protrusion 5.3 abuts against the groove 4.1. At this time, as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the diagram, the through slot 5.2 overlaps with the scanning section 3.4, exposing the scanning section 3.4 to the outside world, making it convenient for customers to make payments by scanning codes.

[0033] In this embodiment, the semicircular ring 4 has an arc-shaped opening that matches the baffle 5, such as... Figure 6 As shown in the diagram, this allows the baffle 5 to slide out of the opening under its own weight after the semi-circular ring 4 rotates, as... Figure 2 The status is as shown.

[0034] In another embodiment of the present invention, a cash register 1 is further included, on which a support arm 2 is provided, and a cash register screen 3 is located on the support arm 2. A touch screen 2.1 is hinged to the support arm 2. Figure 1 As shown in the status, the touchscreen 2.1 is the core interface for human-computer interaction, undertaking key functions such as operation input, information display, and function control, such as replacing the traditional keyboard, simplifying operation, and managing goods and orders, etc. It is existing technology and will not be elaborated further.

[0035] In another embodiment of this utility model, the cash register 1 is provided with an indicator screen 1.2, an invoice slot 1.1, and a speaker unit 1.3, as shown below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the status, the invoice printing slot (usually referring to the receipt printing slot) and the speaker are important components for improving transaction efficiency, compliance, and user experience. The two complement each other, optimizing the checkout process from the perspectives of visual credentials and auditory feedback, respectively. The speaker provides real-time voice feedback to reduce operational errors, such as payment status prompts. When scanning a QR code for payment, the speaker announces "Scan successful, waiting for payment," and after payment is completed, it announces "Payment successful, amount X yuan." Cashiers do not need to look down at the screen, improving efficiency. This is existing technology.

[0036] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
