In this way, the sliding cover 21 can be removed from the connecting body 20 without disassembling the entire connecting arm 2 or using disassembly tools, saving a lot of time and effort, thus enabling the user to quickly organize the cables in the cable channel 23.

[0025] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 8-11The latching part 27 is provided with a first guide slope 270, the slope of the first guide slope 270 is inclined downwards, and the elastic buckle 210 is provided with a second guide slope 2101, the slope of the second guide slope 2101 is inclined upwards. The second guide slope 2101 can slide and adapt to the first guide slope 270 to guide the elastic buckle 210 to be snapped onto the latching part 27. It can be understood that when the sliding cover 21 is used to cover the slot 22 on the connecting body 20, the elastic buckle 210 at the upper end of the sliding cover 21 extends into the slot 26. At this time, the second guide slope 2101 on the elastic buckle 210 contacts the first guide slope 270 in the slot 26. Then, by manually pushing the sliding cover 21 upwards along the inclined direction of the connecting arm 2, the second guide slope 2101 on the elastic buckle 210 can slide past the first guide slope 270 on the latching part 27, so that the elastic buckle 210 is snapped onto the latching part 27. It should be noted that the first guide slope 270 and the second guide slope 2101 are mainly designed to facilitate the elastic buckle 210 to be snapped onto the snap-fit ​​part 27.

[0026] In this embodiment, a insertion slot 29 is also provided inside the slot 22. The insertion slot 29 is located between the card slot 26 and the slot 28, and the insertion slot 29 is misaligned with the card slot 26. Of course, an L-shaped fastener 213 is also provided on the sliding cover 21. The L-shaped fastener 213 is inserted into the insertion slot 29 from bottom to top, which can improve the stability of the connection between the sliding cover 21 and the connecting body 20.

[0027] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 9 The L-shaped fastener 213 is provided with a reinforcing rib 214, which is used to enhance the rigidity of the L-shaped fastener 213 and prevent the L-shaped fastener 213 from breaking due to repeated disassembly of the sliding cover 21.

[0028] In this embodiment, the connecting arm 2 is damped and hinged to the base 1, allowing the connecting arm 2 to rotate and adjust its angle relative to the base 1. This enables the connecting arm 2 to fold relative to the base 1 for easy storage and transportation. Furthermore, the bottom surface of the base 1 is provided with an anti-slip pad, which provides stability when the base 1 is placed on a table. It should be noted that the damped hinge structure between the connecting arm 2 and the base 1 is existing technology and will not be described further here.

[0029] In this embodiment, the cash register includes a body 4 and the aforementioned support base. The body 4 is dampedly hinged to the end of the connecting arm 2 facing away from the base 1, allowing the body 4 to rotate and adjust its angle relative to the connecting arm 2. This enables the cash register to adapt to different operating scenarios. For example, during the checkout process, various special situations may arise, such as the need to simultaneously handle product display and customer communication. By rotating and adjusting the angle of the body 4, the cashier can more conveniently display product information to the customer or quickly switch perspectives between different operating stages, making the operation smoother.
