[0002] In retail, catering and other service scenarios, barcode scanners and POS machines together form the core payment system of a store. The efficiency of their collaboration directly determines the smoothness of the entire checkout process from customer order placement, pricing, settlement to payment completion. Barcode scanners are responsible for quickly and accurately identifying data input such as product information, promotional labels and payment vouchers, while POS machines integrate, verify and process this data, and connect with inventory, membership, promotion and other systems in real time to ensure the integrity and traceability of transactions.

[0003] Existing integrated devices often have fixed scanning modules or can only achieve a small range of angle adjustments. They cannot flexibly adjust the orientation and tilt angle of the scanning port according to actual checkout scenarios, such as differences in product size, operator height and habits, and customer self-scanning posture. As the core component of the scanning module, the scanning port's lens and sensing elements are easily affected by dust, external scratches, or liquid splashes, leading to decreased recognition sensitivity or hardware damage. To address this, we propose an integrated device that combines a barcode scanner and a POS machine. Utility Model Content

[0027] Structural Description: POS machine body 1: It is a rectangular block structure and is the core base of the device. It supports all components, processes scanned data, completes pricing, settles accounts, and connects to systems such as inventory and membership. The outer shell of the barcode scanner 2 is a shell-like structure that adapts to the barcode scanner body. It is a protective carrier for the barcode scanner body 6, protecting the barcode scanner body 6 and serving as the mounting base for angle adjustment and cover plate structure. Scanning port 3: This is an opening structure on the outer shell 2 of the barcode scanner, which is mostly rectangular or circular. It is a data input window for the barcode scanner body 6 to identify product barcodes and payment vouchers. Slide rail 4: It is a trapezoidal strip structure and is a guide component for the sliding of the cover plate. It is used in conjunction with the trapezoidal slide groove 14 to ensure that the cover plate slides stably and does not deviate. Cover plate 5: It is a sheet-like structure that is adapted to the size of the barcode scanner 3. It is a protective component for the barcode scanner, which is slidably covered or opened to prevent the barcode scanner from being damaged by dust or scratches. The barcode scanner body 6 is a long strip or pistol-shaped core component for barcode scanning. It is the main body for data identification, which identifies data through the barcode scanning port 3 and transmits the data to the POS machine body 1. Wiring 7: It is a flexible linear structure and serves as a connection and transmission medium. It connects the POS machine body 1 and the barcode scanner body 6 to enable real-time data transmission and power the barcode scanner body. Magnetic block 8: It is a small block structure such as rectangular or circular, which is a cover plate fixing component. It is magnetically connected to the metal block 13 to fix the position of the cover plate 5 in the open state. Rotating tube 9: It is a hollow tubular structure that serves as both wiring protection and a rotating shaft. It prevents the wiring 7 from getting tangled and also acts as the rotating shaft for the barcode scanner housing 2, supporting the rotation of the barcode scanner housing. Limiting groove 10: It is an incomplete annular groove structure on the top surface of the POS machine body 1. It is a rotation range limiting component. It allows the limiting rod 18 to slide and limits the rotation range of the barcode scanner housing 2 to only one turn, protecting the wiring 7. Hemispherical groove 11: Multiple hemispherical grooves on the top surface of the POS machine body 1 are evenly distributed around the circumference. They are angle fixing components that engage with the spherical protrusion 17 to fix the rotation angle of the barcode scanner housing 2. Strip groove 12: The long strip-shaped groove on the inner side of the cover plate 5 is located between the two trapezoidal slide grooves 14. It is the installation space for the metal block, providing space for installing and fixing the metal block 13 and for magnetic attraction. Metal block 13: A small block structure that is adapted to the size of magnetic block 8. It is an auxiliary fixing component for the cover plate. It is magnetically attracted to magnetic block 8 to help fix the cover plate 5 after it is opened. Slide groove 14: This is a trapezoidal long groove on the inner side of the cover plate 5. It is a sliding rail mating component, which is slidably engaged with the trapezoidal slide rail 4 to ensure that the cover plate 5 slides stably along the slide rail. Telescopic groove 15: A cylindrical or rectangular groove at the bottom of the barcode scanner housing 2, which is a space for accommodating telescopic components, accommodating the spring 16 and the spherical protrusion 17, and providing installation and telescopic space for both; Spring 16: It has a spiral elastic structure and is an elastic support component. It supports the spherical protrusion 17 and pushes the spherical protrusion out of the telescopic groove 15 through elastic force to achieve engagement with the hemispherical groove 11. Spherical bump 17: It is a bump structure with one end spherical and the other end columnar. It is an angle locking component. It is embedded in the hemispherical groove 11 under the action of spring 16 to fix the angle of the barcode scanner housing 2. When adjusting, the spring can be compressed to return to the telescopic groove. Limiting rod 18: It is a short rod-shaped structure and is a rotation limiting component. It slides with the barcode scanner housing 2 in the limiting groove 10 and works with the limiting groove to limit the rotation range of the barcode scanner housing and prevent damage to the wiring 7.

[0028] Working Principle: The integrated barcode scanner and POS machine device uses the POS machine body 1 as its core functional base, undertaking the core tasks of data processing, accounting settlement, and system integration. The barcode scanner body 6, as the key barcode recognition component, establishes a stable physical connection with the POS machine body 1 through the wiring 7. This enables real-time data transmission between the two, such as product barcode information and payment voucher data, and also provides the necessary power to the barcode scanner body 6 through the wiring 7, ensuring continuous and stable operation of the scanning function. The barcode scanner housing 2 is completely covered outside the barcode scanner body 6, and simultaneously forms a rotatable connection with the POS machine body 1 through the rotating tube 9. In actual checkout scenarios, when it is necessary to adjust the barcode scanner body 6, the barcode scanner can be adjusted according to the specific requirements of the POS machine body 1. Depending on the product placement method (e.g., flat or vertical), and to adjust the scanning angle according to operator habits or customer self-service scanning needs, the operator can manually push the barcode scanner housing 2 to rotate flexibly relative to the POS machine body 1 around the rotating tube 9 as the central axis. The spherical protrusion 17 inside the telescopic groove 15 at the bottom of the barcode scanner housing 2, pushed by the continuous elastic force of the spring 16 within the groove, always maintains a portion of its spherical surface protruding outside the telescopic groove 15. When the spherical protrusion 17 rotates with the barcode scanner housing 2 to directly above a pre-set hemispherical groove 11 on the top surface of the POS machine body 1, the elastic force of the spring 16 will directly push the spherical protrusion 17 into the hemispherical groove 11, ensuring that the scanning port 3 can accurately align with the barcode to be identified. The limiting rod 18 fixed at the bottom of the barcode scanner housing 2 slides synchronously within the incomplete annular limiting groove 10 on the top surface of the POS machine body 1. When the limiting rod 18 slides to both ends of the limiting groove 10, the physical blocking structure of the groove restricts the limiting rod 18 from moving further, thereby forcing the barcode scanner housing 2 to stop rotating. Its rotation range is strictly controlled within one revolution to prevent the internal wiring 7 from twisting, stretching, or even breaking due to excessive rotation. Before activating the scanning function, the operator pushes the cover plate 5 to one side of the scanning port 3. The two trapezoidal sliding grooves 14 on the inner side of the cover plate 5 slide and engage with the two corresponding trapezoidal sliding rails 4 installed on the barcode scanner housing 2. The cover plate 5 is slid completely to one side of the barcode scanner 3, so that the barcode scanner 3 is fully exposed. At this time, the metal block 13 fixed in the inner groove 12 of the cover plate 5 will move to the corresponding position of the magnetic block 8 on the surface of the barcode scanner housing 2. The magnetic block 8 forms a firm magnetic connection with the metal block 13 through its own magnetic force, and fixes the cover plate 5 in the current position. After the angle adjustment and cover plate fixation are completed, the device can enter the normal barcode scanning and cashiering process. After a single transaction is completed, the operator only needs to push the cover plate 5 in the opposite direction to make it slide back along the trapezoidal slide rail 4 until it completely covers the barcode scanner 3. At this time, the cover plate 5 can effectively isolate external dust, water stains and accidental scratches from the barcode scanner 3.
