Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cash register technology, and in particular to an integrated intelligent cash register device applicable to various retail scenarios. Background Technology
[0002] With the widespread adoption of mobile payments, desktop cash registers with barcode scanning modules have become increasingly popular in various settings, such as large supermarkets, restaurants, and retail stores, where they are typically located at the checkout counter. In current retail checkout scenarios, traditional cash registers often use external barcode scanners or independent scanning platforms. These devices require a USB cable connection to the cash register for data transmission. However, this external connection method presents several problems: First, the repeated plugging and unplugging of the USB cable is inconvenient and can easily cause interface wear, shortening the device's lifespan. Second, the checkout counter area is usually limited in space, and external scanning devices and their connecting cables can create a messy and disorganized wiring situation, affecting the aesthetics and tidiness of the counter and increasing the safety hazards of cable tangling and tripping over staff. Third, the connection stability between the cable and the interface is poor; during frequent use, even slight contact can cause the connection to loosen, leading to scanning interruptions, data transmission failures, and other problems, impacting checkout efficiency and even causing customer complaints.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design an integrated smart POS device that integrates the functional modules required for POS into one device, in order to avoid problems such as messy and tangled cables, occupation of POS counter space, and inconvenience caused by various external devices.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 The diagram shown is an overall structural schematic of an integrated intelligent cash register device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The cash register device includes a frame 10, a display device fixed to the top of the frame 10, and an electronic scale connected to the bottom of the frame 10; a receipt printing device 12 and a barcode scanning device 14 are fixed on the frame 10; combined with... Figure 1 and Figure 5 The frame 10 includes a metal bracket 12 and a front shell 16 and a rear shell 18 mounted on the metal bracket 12. The metal bracket 12 has a mounting space 121, and the front shell 16 has an opening 164 at a position corresponding to the mounting space 121. The barcode scanning device 14 is mounted in the mounting space 121 through the opening 164. (See also...) Figure 2 The scanning device 14 includes a scanning window 141, a frame 142, and a body 143. The body 143 is disposed in the installation space 121, and the frame 142 is fixed to the body 143. The inner edge of the scanning window 141 is provided with a plurality of first hooks 1411, and the inner side of the opening of the front shell 16 is provided with a protruding frame structure 161. The first hooks 1411 engage with the frame structure 161 to fix the scanning device 14 on the frame 10 of the cash register.
[0028] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, at least two first hooks 1411 are provided on each of the four inner edges of the scanning window 141 of the scanning device 14, which engage with the protruding frame structure 161 provided on the inner side of the opening of the front shell 16, so that the scanning device 14 can be installed on the frame 10 without the need for screws.
[0029] For the next best option, see Figure 2 and Figure 4A second hook 162 is provided on the inner side of the opening of the front shell 16. The second hook 162 abuts against the inner side 1422 of the frame 142 of the barcode scanner 14 to restrict the installation position of the barcode scanner 14 on the frame 10, so that the front surface of the barcode scanning window 141 and the front surface of the front shell 16 are kept on the same mounting surface, and the appearance of the cash register is kept neat and beautiful. In a preferred embodiment, the second hook 162 is provided on the upper side and the left and right sides of the opening inside the front shell 16, or on all four sides of the opening inside the front shell 16.
[0030] For the next best option, see Figure 5 As shown, in the installation space 121, a baffle 122 is included on one side of the bottom hollow portion of the metal bracket 12. When the barcode scanning device 14 is installed on the frame 10, the rear side of the barcode scanning device 14 abuts against the baffle 122. This allows for more precise confinement of the barcode scanning device 14 within the installation space and ensures adequate heat dissipation space during operation. Furthermore, the contact between the barcode scanning device 14 and the metal bracket 12 also provides effective electrostatic protection for the barcode scanning device 14. See also... Figure 7 The cable interface 144 of the barcode scanner 14 is located at the rear of the scanner and exposed in the bottom cutout of the metal bracket 12. This allows the cable of the barcode scanner 14 to be routed directly from inside the frame 10 to the main control board of the POS device, achieving real-time and stable transmission of scanned data without exposure to the outside of the POS device, avoiding the inconvenience caused by exposed cables. When scanning product barcodes or payment codes, operators or customers simply align the barcode with the scanning window of the embedded barcode scanner. The scanning module quickly identifies the barcode information and transmits it directly to the main control system of the POS scale via internal connection to complete pricing, settlement, and other operations.
[0031] For the next best option, see Figure 6 The scanning device 14 is provided with a buzzer sound hole 1431 on its side. Corresponding to the buzzer sound hole 1431, a recess 123 is provided on the metal bracket 12 to facilitate the scanning device 14 to emit a prompt sound after successful scanning.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, refer to Figure 3 The display device includes a first display device 31 facing the cashier and a second display device 32 facing the customer. In another preferred embodiment, a camera 40 is also integrated and installed on the frame 10 below the first display device 31, which can perform image recognition on the items on the weighing pan 20 to improve checkout efficiency.
[0033] This utility model discloses an integrated intelligent POS device that integrates a barcode scanner with a POS scale. Employing an embedded installation method, the core scanning module and data transmission module of the barcode scanner are integrated into the POS device, making the barcode scanner an integral part of the overall structure, eliminating the need for an additional USB cable connection. The barcode scanner can be stably fixed to the POS device frame directly via a snap-fit mechanism, making installation convenient. This embedded design completely eliminates external cables, solving the problem of messy wiring at the POS counter, making it neater and more aesthetically pleasing, while also eliminating the safety hazards of cable tangling and tripping. It avoids wear and tear and loosening caused by repeated plugging and unplugging of the USB interface, significantly improving the stability of the device connection, reducing POS interruptions due to connection failures, and improving POS efficiency. The elimination of the need for separate placement and organization of external barcode scanners saves POS counter space. The direct internal cable connection shortens the data transmission path, increases data transmission speed, and further improves the efficiency of barcode recognition and settlement, making it particularly suitable for retail scenarios with high foot traffic, effectively reducing customer waiting time and enhancing the customer shopping experience. This invention is particularly suitable for use in supermarkets, retail stores and other similar settings.
