Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printing equipment technology, and in particular to a smart all-in-one machine for scanning and printing. Background Technology

[0002] In the rapidly developing food delivery industry, self-service ordering and printing equipment has become standard equipment for many restaurants. However, among the existing self-service ordering and printing equipment...

[0003] From the perspective of the scanning process, the design of the scanning area on most self-service ordering and dispensing machines for food delivery is not ideal. The scanning window is usually located vertically on the front of the device. When a user scans with their phone, the angle of the scanning window is perpendicular to the countertop, requiring the phone to be precisely aligned for recognition. In practice, because the countertops where the self-service ordering and dispensing machines are placed are low, users need to lower their phones and rotate their wrists to a perpendicular angle before the scanning window can scan the payment code or verification code. However, this scanning angle makes the user's grip on the phone awkward, making it difficult to hold the phone securely while scanning, and most people cannot rotate the phone to a perpendicular position in one go. During periods requiring high food preparation speeds, this awkward scanning posture significantly prolongs ordering time and reduces the operational efficiency of the store.

[0004] Furthermore, the paper output port of existing self-service ordering and printing equipment is usually set horizontally or vertically to the table, which can easily cause paper to jam or pile up during the paper output process. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a smart all-in-one barcode scanner and printer, which aims to provide a barcode scanner and printer that can quickly and accurately complete the barcode scanning operation and avoid paper jamming and accumulation during the paper output process.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a smart all-in-one machine for scanning and printing, comprising:

[0007] The housing has a scanning bevel on its front end face and a tearing bevel on its top side face, with the tearing bevel formed on the top side face of the scanning bevel. The scanning bevel has a scanning window and the tearing bevel has a paper outlet.

[0008] A barcode scanning module is disposed inside the housing and is arranged corresponding to the barcode scanning inclined surface. The barcode scanning module includes a barcode scanning compartment and a barcode scanning camera. The barcode scanning compartment is arranged corresponding to the barcode scanning window and has an opening facing the barcode scanning window. The barcode scanning camera is disposed at the bottom of the barcode scanning compartment.

[0009] A printing module, disposed within the housing, includes a printing chamber and a printing assembly. The printing assembly is located on one side of the printing chamber, which is positioned below the paper-tearing slope and communicates with the paper outlet.

[0010] The control module includes a main control board and a barcode scanning control board that are electrically connected to each other. The main control board is connected to the printing chamber below the printing chamber and is electrically connected to the printing assembly. There is a clearance between the main control board and the bottom wall of the housing. The main control board is provided with a socket assembly on the upper side of the main control board and at least some electrical control components on the lower side of the main control board. The socket assembly is exposed on the rear end face of the housing. The barcode scanning camera is located on the barcode scanning control board.

[0011] In one embodiment, the lower sidewall of the printing chamber is provided with a plurality of downwardly extending mounting posts, and the main control board is connected to the mounting posts.

[0012] In one embodiment, the barcode scanning and printing smart all-in-one machine further includes an audio module. The audio module includes a housing formed on the bottom wall of the housing, a speaker assembly disposed within the housing, and a top cover housing disposed covering the speaker assembly. The speaker assembly is electrically connected to the main control board, and the lower side of the barcode scanning compartment abuts against the upper side of the top cover housing.

[0013] In one embodiment, the lower side wall of the barcode scanning compartment is provided with a first protruding rib, which is located near the bottom wall of the barcode scanning compartment and abuts against the upper side of the upper cover housing.

[0014] In one embodiment, the lower sidewall of the barcode scanning compartment is provided with a second protruding rib, which is located near the barcode scanning window and abuts against the front end face of the housing.

[0015] In one embodiment, the audio module further includes an abutment plate that abuts against the upper side of the upper cover housing, and the abutment plate is provided with an avoidance notch that corresponds to the first protruding rib.

[0016] In one embodiment, the barcode scanning and printing smart all-in-one machine further includes a button module, and the control module further includes a sub-control board. The button module includes a print button, a volume adjustment button, a setting button, a status light, and a network signal light, which are disposed on the sub-control board and exposed on the tearing surface. The sub-control board is electrically connected to the main control board.

[0017] In one embodiment, the scanning module further includes a lighting assembly, and the control module includes a lighting control board. The lighting assemblies are located on opposite sides of the scanning compartment and close to the scanning window. The lighting assemblies include a light strip and a light guide strip covering the light strip. The light strip is electrically connected to the lighting control board, and the lighting control board is electrically connected to the scanning control board.

[0018] In one embodiment, the extending direction of the bottom wall of the barcode scanning compartment is parallel to the extending direction of the barcode scanning ramp. The barcode scanning camera and the barcode scanning control board are located on the outside of the barcode scanning compartment, and a through hole is provided on the bottom wall of the barcode scanning compartment corresponding to the barcode scanning camera.

[0019] In one embodiment, the housing includes a printing cover disposed over the printing chamber, the printing cover being detachably connected to the printing chamber, at least a portion of the tearing bevel being formed on the top side of the printing cover, and the paper outlet being formed between the printing cover and the printing chamber.

[0020] In this invention, barcode scanning and printing functions are integrated into a single housing. A barcode scanning bevel with a scanning port is provided on the front face of the housing, while a paper-tearing bevel with a paper output port is provided on the top side, resulting in a compact structure. This integration reduces the space occupied by the device, allowing users to perform scanning and printing operations simultaneously in limited spaces. For example, in space-constrained scenarios such as the cashier counter of a small shop, it can simultaneously meet the needs of product barcode scanning and receipt printing. The paper-tearing bevel design provides a naturally inclined surface, allowing users to easily grasp printed paper (such as receipts or labels) from the paper output port. The paper is partially exposed after output, eliminating the need for forceful tearing. The bevel acts as a lever, reducing the force required for tearing, significantly improving operational efficiency, especially in continuous printing scenarios. Furthermore, the paper-tearing bevel design guides the paper smoothly out of the paper output port, reducing friction between the paper and the device, effectively preventing paper jams and improving device reliability. The scanning module is located inside the housing and corresponds to the scanning slope. The scanning compartment corresponds to the scanning window, and the scanning camera is located at the bottom of the scanning compartment. This layout helps improve the accuracy and efficiency of scanning. When a user brings a product with a QR code close to the scanning port, the scanning camera can capture the QR code information from a suitable angle, reducing scanning failures caused by angle issues. There is a clearance between the main control board and the bottom wall of the housing. This clearance is used to avoid the electronic control components located below the main control board, allowing the electronic control components to be installed on both the upper and lower sides of the main control board. On the one hand, the clearance provides space for the installation or heat dissipation of other components; on the other hand, it helps to reduce the volume occupied by the main control board inside the housing, thus helping to reduce the size of the smart barcode printer. The electronic control components are electrically connected to the printing components, the scanning control board, and the interface components, serving as the central hub for data processing.

[0042] This utility model proposes a smart all-in-one machine for scanning and printing.

[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 9 In one embodiment of this utility model, the barcode scanning and printing smart all-in-one machine includes:

[0044] The housing 100 has a scanning inclined surface 16 on its front end face and a tearing inclined surface 17 on its top side. The tearing inclined surface 17 is formed on the top side of the scanning inclined surface 16. The scanning inclined surface 16 has a scanning window 161 and the tearing inclined surface 17 has a paper outlet 15.

[0045] The scanning module 200 is located inside the housing 100 and is positioned corresponding to the scanning inclined surface 16. The scanning module 200 includes a scanning compartment 21 and a scanning camera 22. The scanning compartment 21 is positioned corresponding to the scanning window 161 and has an opening facing the scanning window 161. The scanning camera 22 is located at the bottom of the scanning compartment 21.

[0046] A printing module 300 is disposed within a housing 100 and includes a printing chamber 31 and a printing assembly 32. The printing assembly 32 is located on one side of the printing chamber 31, which is situated below the paper-tearing slope 17 and connected to the paper output port 15.

[0047] The control module 400 includes a main control board 41 and a barcode scanning control board 42 that are electrically connected to each other. The main control board 41 is connected to the printing chamber 31 below the printing chamber 31 and is electrically connected to the printing assembly 32. There is a clearance gap 43 between the main control board 41 and the bottom wall of the housing 100. The main control board 41 is provided with a socket assembly 45 on the upper side of the main control board 41 and at least a portion of the electrical control assembly 44 on the lower side of the main control board 41. The socket assembly 45 is exposed on the rear end face of the housing 100. The barcode scanning camera 22 is located on the barcode scanning control board 42.

[0048] In this invention, the scanning and printing functions are integrated into a single housing 100. A scanning ramp 16 with a scanning port is provided on the front face of the housing 100, while a tearing ramp 17 with a paper output port 15 is provided on the top side, resulting in a compact structure. This integration reduces the space occupied by the device, allowing users to perform scanning and printing operations simultaneously in limited spaces. For example, in space-constrained scenarios such as the cash register of a small shop, it can simultaneously meet the needs of product scanning and receipt printing. The tearing ramp 17 provides a naturally inclined surface, allowing users to easily grasp printed paper (such as receipts or labels) from the paper output port 15. The paper is partially exposed after output, eliminating the need for forceful tearing. The ramp acts as a lever, reducing the force required for tearing, significantly improving operational efficiency, especially in continuous printing scenarios. Furthermore, the design of the paper-tearing bevel 17 can guide the paper to slide smoothly out of the paper outlet 15, reducing the friction between the paper and the device, thereby effectively avoiding paper jamming and improving the reliability of the device. The barcode scanning module 200 is located inside the housing 100 and corresponds to the barcode scanning bevel 16. The barcode scanning compartment 21 corresponds to the barcode scanning window 161, and the barcode scanning camera 22 is located at the bottom of the barcode scanning compartment 21. This layout helps to improve the accuracy and efficiency of barcode scanning. When the user brings the product with the QR code close to the barcode scanning port, the barcode scanning camera 22 can capture the QR code information from a suitable angle, reducing scanning failures caused by angle issues. There is a clearance gap 43 between the main control board 41 and the bottom wall of the housing 100. This clearance gap 43 is used to avoid the electrical control component 44 located below the main control board 41, which means that the electrical control component 44 can be installed on both the upper and lower sides of the main control board 41. On the one hand, the clearance 43 provides space for the installation or heat dissipation of other components; on the other hand, it helps to reduce the volume occupied by the main control board 41 within the housing 100, thus helping to reduce the size of the barcode scanning and printing smart all-in-one machine. The electrical control component 44 is electrically connected to the printing component 32, the barcode scanning control board 42, and the connector component 45, serving as the central hub for data processing.

[0049] In one embodiment, the lower sidewall of the printing chamber 31 is provided with multiple downwardly extending mounting posts 311, and the main control board 41 is connected to the mounting posts 311. The electronic control components 44 (such as precision components like chips) and the connector components 45 on the main control board 41 are rigidly anchored to the housing 100 through the mounting posts 311. When the device is subjected to external impact (such as handling or collision), the impact force is absorbed by the mounting posts 311 and guided to the structural components of the housing 100, reducing the risk of deformation of the main control board 41 and improving its resistance to mechanical impact. Furthermore, the mounting posts 311 serve as a preset positioning reference, allowing the main control board 41 to be quickly aligned through its screw holes during assembly without the need for additional fixtures to adjust the position, thus reducing human error. Especially when the printing chamber 31 and the main control board 41 need to be stacked vertically, the mounting posts 311 can ensure that the size of the clearance 43 is strictly controllable. Furthermore, the clearance 43 serves as a heat dissipation channel for the main control board 41. When the electronic control components 44 on the main control board 41 generate heat, air naturally convects at the clearance 43, preventing heat accumulation. Further, the interface assembly 45 includes a wired network interface 451, a data SIM card insertion / removal interface, a switch button 453, a power interface 454, a wired transmission interface 455, and an audio interface 456. The switch button 453, power interface 454, wired transmission interface 455, audio interface 456, and wired network interface 451 are horizontally and spaced apart along the width of the housing 100. The data SIM card insertion / removal interface is located below the switch button 453. Further, the wired transmission interface 455 includes a USB interface or a Type-C interface. In other embodiments, the main control board 41 can be connected to a mounting post 311 on the bottom wall of the housing 100.

[0050] In one embodiment, the barcode scanning and printing smart all-in-one machine also includes an audio module 500. The audio module 500 includes a housing 51 formed on the bottom wall of the housing 100, an audio component 52 disposed within the housing 51, and a top cover housing 53 covering the audio component 52. The audio component 52 is electrically connected to the main control board 41, and the lower side of the barcode scanning compartment 21 abuts against the upper side of the top cover housing 53. The barcode scanning compartment 21 is located in the upper half of the housing 100, and the audio module 500 is disposed in the housing 51 on the bottom wall of the housing 100. The design of the bottom surface of the barcode scanning compartment 21 directly abutting against the audio top cover housing 53 forms a tight upper and lower stack. This eliminates the need for a separate audio cavity support in traditional audio designs, effectively reducing the height of the housing 100. Furthermore, the bottom wall of the housing 100 serves both as a support for the device and as the physical boundary of the audio cavity, avoiding additional internal volume occupation and leaving more spacious wiring space for the printing compartment 31 and the control module 400. In other embodiments, the audio module 500 may be omitted, and an external audio device may be connected through the audio interface 456 to achieve voice broadcasting.

[0051] In one embodiment, the lower sidewall of the barcode scanner 21 is provided with a first rib 211, which is located near the bottom wall of the barcode scanner 21 and abuts against the upper side of the upper cover housing 53. The first rib 211 extends along the edge of the bottom wall of the barcode scanner 21, forming a locally reinforced frame. When the user accidentally presses the area of ​​the barcode scanning window 161, the rib can significantly improve the bending stiffness of the bottom wall of the barcode scanner 21. This reinforcement effect can effectively suppress deformation caused by external forces, ensuring that the offset angle of the barcode scanning camera 22 is small and maintaining scanning accuracy. Moreover, when the barcode scanning and printing smart all-in-one machine is impacted (such as by a drop or collision), the vertical surface of the first rib 211 will form a mechanical interlock structure with the upper cover housing 53, preventing the barcode scanner 21 from being laterally misaligned with the audio module 500, and protecting the focusing mechanism and ribbon cable of the barcode scanning camera 22 from shearing damage. In other embodiments, the first rib 211 may not be provided.

[0052] In one embodiment, a second rib 212 is provided on the lower sidewall of the barcode scanning compartment 21. The second rib 212 is located near the barcode scanning window 161 and abuts against the front end face of the housing 100. Since users often bring barcode-coded items close to this area, collisions may occur between the barcode scanning ramp 16 or the barcode scanning window 161. Therefore, the barcode scanning window 161, as a high-frequency operating area of ​​the device, requires high rigidity from the surrounding housing 100. The second rib 212 directly abuts against the front end face of the housing 100, forming a continuous force chain consisting of the barcode scanning compartment 21, the second rib 212, and the housing 100. The second rib 212 can prevent the frame of the barcode scanning window 161 from cracking or the barcode scanning camera 22 from shifting due to impact. Furthermore, the first rib 211 and the second rib 212 located in the middle of the barcode scanning compartment 21 are configured with the same structure. In other embodiments, the second rib 212 may not be provided.

[0053] In one embodiment, the scanning module 200 further includes an illumination group 23, and the control module 400 includes an illumination control board 47. The illumination group 23 is located on opposite sides of the scanning compartment 21 and is positioned close to the scanning window 161. The illumination group 23 includes a light strip 231 and a light guide strip 234 covering the light strip 231. The light strip 231 is electrically connected to the illumination control board 47, and the illumination control board 47 is electrically connected to the scanning control board 42. The illumination group 23 provides a stable light source for the scanning window 161, ensuring sufficient light in the scanning area. Even in dim or unstable ambient light, it can meet the light requirements of the scanning camera 22, thereby capturing QR code information more accurately and improving the accuracy and reliability of scanning. By using its own illumination group 23 and control board, the dependence on external ambient light is reduced, the impact of changes in external light on the scanning module 200 is minimized, and the stability of equipment operation is improved. The lighting control board 47 is electrically connected to the barcode scanning control board 42, enabling synchronized operation of the lighting assembly 23 and the barcode scanning camera 22, thus improving equipment performance and intelligence. Furthermore, the lighting assembly 23 is sandwiched between the barcode scanning compartment 21 and the barcode scanning window 161. The light strip 231 includes a heat-dissipating aluminum plate 232 and multiple LED beads mounted on the heat-dissipating aluminum plate 232, which effectively dissipates the heat generated by the LED beads. In other embodiments, the lighting assembly 23 may not be included.

[0054] In one embodiment, the bottom wall of the barcode scanning compartment 21 extends parallel to the scanning ramp 16. The barcode scanning camera 22 and the barcode scanning control board 42 are located on the outside of the barcode scanning compartment 21, and a through hole 213 is provided on the bottom wall of the barcode scanning compartment 21 corresponding to the barcode scanning camera 22. The parallel extension direction of the bottom wall of the barcode scanning compartment 21 with the scanning ramp 16 facilitates the even distribution of light throughout the scanning area. This design ensures that the barcode scanning camera 22 can receive clear and complete image information, improving the accuracy and reliability of barcode scanning. The location of the barcode scanning camera 22 and the barcode scanning control board 42 on the outside of the barcode scanning compartment 21 avoids direct exposure to dust, paper scraps, and other debris that may exist inside the barcode scanning compartment 21. Simultaneously, the through hole 213 on the bottom wall of the barcode scanning compartment 21 corresponding to the barcode scanning camera 22 ensures smooth transmission of light and image signals while effectively preventing foreign objects from entering the camera, extending the device's lifespan. Furthermore, the scanning module 200 also includes a scanning window cover 18, which is located on the scanning window 161 and covers the opening of the scanning compartment 21. The scanning window cover 18 is made of a transparent, hard material. This prevents dust or moisture from accumulating inside the scanning compartment 21 and the scanning camera 22, thus avoiding affecting the scanning range of the scanning camera 22. The transparent, hard material of the scanning window cover 18 can prevent the scanning window 161 and the camera from external physical damage, such as collisions or scratches. This improves the durability and impact resistance of the device to a certain extent, reducing the risk of damage and maintenance costs. In other embodiments, the extension direction of the bottom wall of the scanning compartment 21 may intersect with the extension direction of the scanning ramp 16.

[0055] In one embodiment, the audio module 500 further includes an abutment plate 54, which abuts against the upper side of the upper cover housing 53, and the abutment plate 54 is provided with a clearance notch 541, which corresponds to the first protruding rib 211. The abutment plate 54 can be used to reduce the resonance noise generated by the speaker assembly 52. ​​In other embodiments, the abutment plate 54 may not be provided.

[0056] In one embodiment, the barcode scanning and printing smart all-in-one machine further includes a button module 600, and the control module 400 further includes a sub-control board 46. The button module 600 includes a print button 61, a volume control button 62, a settings button 63, a status light 64, and a network signal light 65, all located on the sub-control board 46 and exposed on the tear-off slope 17. The sub-control board 46 is electrically connected to the main control board 41. The button module 600 integrates multiple function buttons such as the print button 61, volume control button 62, and settings button 63, and exposes them on the tear-off slope 17. Users do not need to search for different button locations during use, enabling them to perform various operations quickly and intuitively, improving operational efficiency. Furthermore, the button placement on the tear-off slope 17 conforms to users' operating habits when using barcode scanning and printing devices. When retrieving paper after printing, users can conveniently perform other related operations, reducing operational complexity. The secondary control board 46 undertakes the control tasks of the button module 600, reducing the burden on the main control board 41 and avoiding the risk of performance degradation or failure caused by the main control board 41 handling too many tasks simultaneously. This improves the overall stability and reliability of the device. The button module 600 is connected to the main control board 41 through the secondary control board 46. The relatively independent control structure reduces direct interference from button signals to the main control board 41, improves the device's anti-interference capability, and ensures stable operation of the device under complex electromagnetic environments. In other embodiments, only a print button 61 and a volume control button 62 may be provided, which are the commonly used buttons in actual use.

[0057] The status light 64 indicates whether the barcode printer is on or off. When the printer is on, the status light 64 is on; when it is off, the status light 64 is off. Specifically, the status light 64 has four states: off, fast flashing, slow flashing, and constant light. When the device is connected to power and the power switch is on, the status light 64 is constantly on; when the printer is out of paper / the cover is open, the status light 64 flashes fast; when the printer motor is overheating, the status light 64 flashes slowly; and when the power is off, the status light 64 is off. The network signal light 65 has three states: off, flashing, and constant light. When the network connection is successful, the network signal light 65 is constant on; when the network is not connected or is in the process of connecting, the network signal light 65 flashes; and when a data SIM card is not detected or the power is off, the network signal light 65 is off.

[0058] In one embodiment, a wire passage gap 13 is provided between the printing chamber 31 and the upper cover housing 53 to avoid the wires connecting the main control board 41 to the printing component 32, the barcode control board 42, and the sub-control board 46. The audio module 500 and the main control board 41 are located on the lower side of the printing chamber 31 housing. This layout makes full use of the space below the printing chamber 31 housing, making the internal structure of the barcode printing smart all-in-one machine more compact. Within the limited space of the housing 100, by rationally planning the installation positions of each component, space waste is avoided, the overall size of the device is controlled, and it is easier to place and use in different locations in the restaurant. The wire passage gap 13 between the printing chamber 31 housing and the upper cover housing 53 provides a reasonable routing channel for the wires connecting the main control board 41 to the printing component 32, the barcode control board 42, and the sub-control board 46. This design allows the wires to be arranged in an orderly manner, avoiding messy tangling of wires inside the housing 100, facilitating wiring operations during production and assembly, and improving production efficiency. The audio module 500 and the main control board 41 are located on the lower side of the print chamber 31 shell, separated from other heat-generating components (such as the printing assembly 32), which facilitates heat dissipation for each component. During the operation of the barcode scanning and printing smart all-in-one machine, the heat generated by each component can be better dissipated into the surrounding environment, avoiding heat accumulation that could lead to overheating, thus improving the device's heat dissipation performance and operational stability. The electrical control component 44 on the main control board 41 is electrically connected to the printing assembly 32, the barcode scanning control board 42, the connector assembly 45, the audio module 500, and the sub-control board 46, serving as the central hub for data processing. In other embodiments, the line guide gap 13 may be omitted.

[0059] In one embodiment, the housing 100 includes a print cover 12 disposed over the print chamber 31 housing. The print cover 12 is detachably connected to the print chamber 31 housing. At least a partial tearing bevel 17 is formed on the top side of the print cover 12, and a paper outlet 15 is formed between the print cover 12 and the print chamber 31. This detachable design increases the flexibility of the device. If the print cover 12 is damaged or needs upgrading, the print cover 12 can be replaced separately without replacing the entire housing 100, reducing resource waste and equipment upgrade costs. The partial tearing bevel 17 on the top side of the print cover 12 and the paper outlet 15 between the print cover 12 and the print chamber 31 allow the printed paper to be smoothly discharged from the paper outlet 15 along the tearing bevel 17. Compared to conventional designs, this avoids paper folding, jamming, or shifting during discharge, improving paper output reliability and providing users with a smoother paper handling experience. In other embodiments, the printed cover plate 12 may be located on the rear end face of the housing 100.

[0060] In one embodiment, the housing 100 includes an upper housing portion 11 and a lower housing portion 14 that are detachably connected. The housing 51 for accommodating the audio module 500 is formed in the lower housing portion 14. The printing compartment 31 is integrally formed with the upper housing portion 11. The barcode scanning compartment 21 is detachably connected to the upper housing portion 11. This allows for reasonable planning of the internal space, ensuring that each functional module, such as the audio module, printing module 300, barcode scanning module 200, and control module 400, has a clear placement position inside the housing 100, avoiding mutual interference between components and ensuring the stability and reliability of the equipment operation.

[0061] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
