Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of self-service checkout machines, specifically a desktop self-service checkout machine that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] Desktop self-checkout machines are devices placed at the checkout counter for customers to check out themselves. They are widely used in supermarkets, convenience stores, and other places. They are small in size and light in weight, do not take up too much space, and support various flexible installation methods such as desktop and wall mounting. The devices are equipped with touch screens, with simple interfaces and intelligent voice prompts, making them easy to operate. Customers can quickly complete the process of scanning goods and making payments.

[0003] Currently, the installation height of desktop self-service checkout machines needs to be adapted to the height of the general user during the installation process. However, given the various support table heights available, the installation adaptability of traditional desktop self-service checkout machines is insufficient. Therefore, the inventor urgently needs to design a checkout machine installation component with high installation adaptability to improve the convenience and adaptability of checkout machine installation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a desktop self-service checkout machine that is easy to install, so as to solve the technical problem that the traditional installation method is not adaptable due to the variety of support table heights when installing current desktop self-service checkout machines.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a desktop self-service cash register that is easy to install. The cash register includes a main body, a base is bolted to the bottom of the main body, and four sets of support rods are fixedly installed below the base. The support rods pass through through holes and are mounted on the surface of the desktop. A locking mechanism is installed on the outside of the support rods to lock the relative distance between the base and the desktop. The locking mechanism includes a locking foot cup and a locking nut. Both the locking foot cup and the locking nut are threadedly connected to the support rod. The locking foot cup abuts against the upper surface of the mounting table, and the locking nut abuts against the lower surface of the mounting table.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, a base is bolted to the bottom of the cash register body, and a support rod under the base passes through the mounting table through a hole. Structurally, this creates a flexible and adaptable mounting frame for the cash register, solving the pain point of insufficient adaptability of traditional desktop self-service cash registers due to the variety of support table heights. The locking mechanism on the outside of the support rod adopts a double-threaded connection structure of locking feet and locking nuts, which respectively abut against the upper and lower surfaces of the mounting table. The relative distance between the base and the mounting table can be precisely locked through thread adjustment, easily adapting to the height needs of users regardless of changes in the mounting table height.

[0007] Furthermore, if the base is installed close to the mounting table, the support rod passes through the through hole on the surface of the mounting table and is engaged with the edges of the base and the mounting table by four sets of engaging mechanisms.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, four sets of locking mechanisms are added to fix the edges of the base and the mounting table in a special scenario where the base and the mounting table are installed close together. This further expands the installation and adaptability range of the cash register and solves the problem of insufficient stability caused by relying on a single fixing method when the cash register is installed close together. After the support pole passes through the through hole in the mounting table, the locking mechanism forms a limiting constraint on the base and the mounting table from the edge, effectively preventing the connection from loosening due to vibration or collision during long-term use, and ensuring the structural stability of the cash register in the close-fitting installation state.

[0009] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes card slots, and four sets of card slots are mirror-imagely opened on the lower surface of the base to achieve concealed installation of the locking mechanism. The inner side of the card slot is provided with a card frame through a card edge, and the card frame is in the shape of a "C" and is engaged with the edge of the installation table.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, four sets of card slots are mirrored on the lower surface of the base, realizing the concealed installation of the locking mechanism. This not only avoids damage caused by exposed locking components, but also maintains the neatness and aesthetics of the bottom of the cash register, enhancing the overall visual quality of the device. The "C"-shaped card frame inside the card slot can precisely wrap around and lock onto the edge of the mounting table through the movable locking edge. The wrapping property of the "C"-shaped structure enhances the stability of the locking, effectively preventing horizontal displacement between the base and the mounting table, and ensuring that the cash register will not shift during use.

[0011] Furthermore, the card slot has a "T" shaped cross-section, and the card frame slides inside the card slot to adapt to the size of the installation desktop.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, combined with the sliding function of the card frame inside the card slot, the problem of traditional locking mechanisms being unable to adapt to different sizes of installation desktops is effectively solved. The "T"-shaped card slot can form a precise longitudinal limit for the card frame, ensuring that the card frame will not come out of the card slot during the sliding adjustment process. At the same time, it provides a stable sliding trajectory for the card frame. No matter how the size of the installation desktop changes, the locking position can be adjusted by sliding the card frame, so that the card frame can accurately fit the edge of the installation desktop, greatly improving the size adaptation range of the locking mechanism.

[0013] Furthermore, a fastening handwheel is threadedly connected to the lower part of the card frame, and the end of the fastening handwheel abuts against the lower surface of the mounting table.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, and through the design of the fastening handwheel end abutting against the lower surface of the mounting table, the locking effect of the locking mechanism is reinforced a second time, effectively solving the loosening problem that may occur if only the locking frame is used. During long-term use or when the cash register is subjected to impact, the fastening handwheel provides continuous longitudinal clamping force, firmly fixing the locking frame to the mounting table, preventing gaps or displacement between the base and the mounting table, ensuring the structural stability of the cash register after installation, and guaranteeing smooth self-checkout operations for customers.

[0015] Furthermore, the cash register also includes a display screen, and an invoice printing device and a barcode scanning area are respectively provided on the lower front sides of the main body of the cash register.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solutions, the core functions of the cash register have been comprehensively improved, effectively meeting the diverse needs of customers during the self-service checkout process. The display screen can provide customers with clear operation guidance, product information, and payment amount display, greatly reducing the difficulty of operation for customers, and is especially suitable for people who are not familiar with self-service equipment. The invoice printing device can quickly print invoices after checkout to meet customers' reimbursement needs. The barcode scanning area allows customers to quickly scan product barcodes to enter information or scan payment codes to complete payment, significantly improving checkout efficiency.

[0017] Furthermore, a POS machine is attached to one side of the main body of the cash register.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solutions, POS machines can support multiple payment methods such as bank card swiping, complementing the original functions of cash registers such as QR code payment and facial recognition payment. This can meet the needs of customers of different ages and with different payment habits, and is especially suitable for people who are not good at using mobile payment. It greatly improves the convenience of customers' checkout and also enhances the applicability of cash registers in different consumption scenarios such as shopping malls, supermarkets, and pharmacies.

[0019] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages: In this utility model, after the support pole passes through the tabletop through hole, locking the foot cup and locking nut can lock the relative distance between the base and the tabletop, adapting to tabletops of different heights; when the base is in close contact with the tabletop, the "C"-shaped card frame in the four sets of hidden card slots can slide along the "T"-shaped card slot, adapting to tabletops of different sizes. After the edge is engaged, it is reinforced by tightening the handwheel, making the installation stable and adaptable to a wide range. The installation process does not require complicated tools, and disassembly and maintenance are convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0023] Example 1: A desktop self-service checkout machine that is easy to install, such as... Figure 1-6 As shown, the cash register 1 includes a cash register body 101. A base 106 is bolted to the bottom of the cash register body 101. Four sets of support rods 3 are fixedly installed below the base 106. The support rods 3 pass through through holes and are mounted on the surface of the tabletop 2. A locking mechanism 4 is installed on the outside of the support rods 3 to lock the relative distance between the base 106 and the tabletop 2. The locking mechanism 4 includes a locking foot cup 401 and a locking nut 402. Both the locking foot cup 401 and the locking nut 402 are threadedly connected to the support rod 3. The locking foot cup 401 abuts against the upper surface of the mounting table 2, and the locking nut 402 abuts against the lower surface of the mounting table 2. A base 106 is bolted to the bottom of the cash register body 101 of the cash register 1, and the support rod 3 below the base 106 passes through the through hole in the mounting table 2. Structurally, this provides a flexible and adaptable mounting frame for the cash register 1, solving the problem of insufficient adaptability of traditional desktop self-service cash registers due to the variety of support table heights. To address the pain points, the locking mechanism 4 on the outside of the support pole 3 adopts a double-threaded connection structure of locking foot cup 401 and locking nut 402. The two abut against the upper and lower surfaces of the mounting table 2 respectively. The relative distance between the base 106 and the mounting table 2 can be precisely locked through thread adjustment. No matter how the height of the mounting table 2 changes, it can easily adapt to the height needs of the general user. At the same time, the bolt-installed base 106 is not only firmly connected, but also facilitates subsequent disassembly and maintenance. The setting of multiple support poles 3 further enhances the overall stability of the cash register 1 after installation, avoiding the risk of shaking or tipping during use.

[0024] Example 2: See Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 If the base 106 is installed close to the mounting table 2, the support rod 3 passes through the through hole on the surface of the mounting table 2, and the edges of the base 106 and the mounting table 2 are engaged by four sets of locking mechanisms 5. For the special scenario of the base 106 and the mounting table 2 being installed close to each other, four sets of locking mechanisms 5 are added to lock and fix the edges of the two, which further expands the installation and adaptation range of the cash register 1 and solves the problem of insufficient stability caused by the traditional cash register relying on only a single fixing method when installed close to each other. After the support rod 3 passes through the through hole of the mounting table 2, the locking mechanism 5 forms a limiting constraint on the base 106 and the mounting table 2 from the edge, effectively preventing the connection from loosening due to vibration or collision during long-term use, and ensuring the structural stability of the cash register 1 in the close-fitting installation state. At the same time, the edge locking method of the locking mechanism 5 does not require additional complex holes to be opened in the mounting table 2, and can be fixed by using only the original through hole, reducing damage to the mounting table 2, and is compatible with different materials such as wood, metal, and stone mounting table 2.

[0025] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6The locking mechanism 5 includes slots 501, with four sets of slots 501 mirror-imagely located on the lower surface of the base 106, enabling concealed installation of the locking mechanism 5. Inside the slots 501, a frame 502 is movably engaged via a locking edge 503. The frame 502 has a "C"-shaped structure and engages with the edge of the mounting table 2. The four sets of slots 501 mirror-imagely located on the lower surface of the base 106 achieve concealed installation of the locking mechanism 5, not only avoiding damage from exposed locking components but also maintaining the neat and aesthetically pleasing appearance of the bottom of the cash register 1, enhancing the overall visual quality of the device. The "C"-shaped frame 502, movably engaged via the locking edge 503 inside the slots 501, can precisely wrap around and engage with the edge of the mounting table 2, utilizing the "C" shape... The enveloping structure enhances the stability of the snap-fit ​​connection, effectively preventing horizontal displacement between the base 106 and the mounting table 2, ensuring that the cash register 1 will not shift during use. At the same time, the movable snap-fit ​​connection method makes the disassembly and replacement of the card frame 502 more convenient. When the card frame 502 is worn or damaged, it can be quickly repaired without disassembling the entire base 106, reducing the maintenance cost of the equipment.

[0026] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 The slot 501 has a "T" shaped cross-section, and the frame 502 slides inside the slot 501 to adapt to the size of the installation desktop 2. Combined with the sliding function of the frame 502 inside the slot 501, this effectively solves the problem that traditional locking mechanisms cannot adapt to different sizes of installation desktops 2. The "T" shaped slot 501 can precisely limit the longitudinal movement of the frame 502, ensuring that the frame 502 will not detach from the slot 501 during sliding adjustment. It also provides a stable sliding trajectory for the frame 502. Regardless of the size of the installation desktop 2, the locking position can be adjusted by sliding the frame 502, allowing the frame 502 to precisely fit the edge of the installation desktop 2. This significantly improves the size adaptation range of the locking mechanism 5. Furthermore, the sliding adjustment requires no modification to the slot 501 or frame 502, making operation simple and convenient. Merchants can quickly complete the adaptation adjustment according to the actual size of the installation desktop 2 without the assistance of professional technicians.

[0027] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6A fastening handwheel 504 is threadedly connected to the lower part of the card frame 502. The end of the fastening handwheel 504 abuts against the lower surface of the mounting table 2. This design, where the end of the fastening handwheel 504 abuts against the lower surface of the mounting table 2, provides secondary reinforcement to the locking effect of the locking mechanism 5, effectively solving the loosening problem that may occur if the locking mechanism relies solely on the card frame 502. During long-term use or when the cash register 1 is subjected to impact, the fastening handwheel 504 provides continuous longitudinal clamping force, firmly fixing the card frame 502 to the mounting table 2, preventing gaps or displacement between the base 106 and the mounting table 2, ensuring the structural stability of the cash register 1 after installation, and guaranteeing smooth self-checkout operations for customers. Furthermore, the threaded connection of the fastening handwheel 504 allows for flexible adjustment of the clamping force according to the thickness of the mounting table 2. Regardless of changes in the thickness of the mounting table 2, precise engagement can be achieved by rotating the fastening handwheel 504, further expanding the adaptability of the locking mechanism 5.

[0028] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The cash register 1 also includes a display screen 102. An invoice printing device 103 and a barcode scanning area 104 are respectively located on the lower front side of the main body 101 of the cash register. This comprehensively enhances the core functions of the cash register 1, effectively meeting the diverse needs of customers during self-service checkout. The display screen 102 provides customers with clear operation instructions, product information, and payment amount display, significantly reducing the difficulty of operation, especially suitable for those unfamiliar with self-service equipment. The invoice printing device 103 can quickly print invoices after checkout, meeting customers' reimbursement needs. The barcode scanning area 104 allows customers to quickly scan product barcodes to enter information or scan payment codes to complete payment, significantly improving checkout efficiency. Furthermore, the display screen 102 is positioned within easy reach of customers, while the invoice printing device 103 and barcode scanning area 104 are located on the lower front side of the main body 101, making it convenient for customers to bend over while operating without taking up too much space. This arrangement is highly coordinated with the overall structure of the cash register 1, avoiding operational chaos caused by cluttered functional components.

[0029] See Figure 1 , Figure 2The main body 101 of the cash register has a movable card holder on one side that houses the POS machine 105. The POS machine 105 supports various payment methods, including bank card swiping, complementing the original QR code payment and facial recognition payment functions of the cash register 1. This caters to the needs of customers of different ages and with different payment habits, and is especially suitable for people who are not proficient in using mobile payments, greatly improving the convenience of customer checkout. It also enhances the applicability of the cash register 1 in different consumption scenarios such as shopping malls, supermarkets, and pharmacies. At the same time, the connection method of the movable card holder makes the installation and removal of the POS machine 105 more convenient. When the POS machine 105 needs repair, battery replacement, or charging, it can be quickly removed from the main body 101 of the cash register. The operation is simple and efficient, without complicated disassembly steps. Moreover, the card holder structure is stable, ensuring that the POS machine 105 will not fall off or shake during use.

[0030] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: During installation, the base 106 is first installed under the cash register body 101 with bolts. Then, according to the fit requirements between the base 106 and the mounting table 2, the corresponding fixing method is selected: If the two are not tightly fitted, the support rod 3 under the base 106 can be inserted through the through hole of the mounting table 2 and fixed by the locking mechanism 4. That is, the locking foot cup 401, which is threadedly connected to the support rod 3, abuts against the upper surface of the mounting table 2, while the locking nut 402 abuts against the lower surface of the mounting table 2, thereby locking the base 106. The relative distance between 06 and the mounting table 2; if the two are installed close together, after the support pole 3 passes through the through hole of the mounting table 2, it is fixed by the locking mechanism 5 in the slot 501 hidden on the lower surface of the base 106. The card frame 502 is locked in the slot 501 by the card edge 503. After sliding along the slot 501 to adapt to the size of the mounting table 2, it is locked to its edge. Then, the fastening handwheel 504 under the card frame 502 abuts against the lower surface of the mounting table 2 to complete the reinforcement. Finally, the cash register 1 can be conveniently fixed and adapted in different installation scenarios.
