[0002] With the rapid development of the commodity economy and large supermarkets, the cashier, as an essential supporting facility for shopping malls and supermarkets, has attracted more and more attention from merchants. The cashier, commonly known as the payment counter, is where customers pay and transact, and it is also the last place customers stay in the store. The cashier is usually set up in an L-shape or rectangle. The cashier is equipped with a computer and a cash register. When paying, the customer places the goods on the cashier, and the cashier scans the goods one by one to settle the payment.

[0003] However, most existing cash registers are fixed units, and in order to store more customer goods, the cash registers are quite long, so they take up a lot of space when moving or relocating. Therefore, we propose a flip-up cash register. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 6 A flip-up cash register includes a placement platform 1, a shelf 2, a protective plate 3, a support assembly, and a connecting tension assembly. The shelf 2 is hinged to the side of the placement platform 1, and the protective plate 3 is hinged to the side of the placement platform 1. The horizontally placed shelf 2 is perpendicular to the protective plate 3. The support assembly is located below the placement platform 1 to support the horizontally placed shelf 2. The connecting tension assembly is located on the protective plate 3 to fix the protective plate 3.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, when using the cash register, the staff first place the placement table 1 in the designated position using a carrying tool, and then rotate the protective plate 3. At this time, the protective plate 3 is attached to the side of the placement table 1. Under the action of the hinge, it is rotated to a position that is horizontal with the side of the placement table 1. It should be added that the protective plate 3 can be hinged and rotated 180°.

[0028] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the platform 2 is then rotated to a position horizontal with the surface of the platform 1. After rotation, the platform 2 is supported by the bottom of the support assembly, which includes a support frame 4, casters 5, and a stabilizing component. There are two support frames 4, the tops of which are slidably mounted on the bottom of the platform 2 and the platform 1. A connecting rod 12 is fixedly installed between the two support frames 4. Two casters 5 are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support frame 4. The bottom of the casters 5 is at the same horizontal position as the bottom of the platform 1. The stabilizing component is set on the platform 1 to further stabilize the support frame 4. The stabilizing component includes a stabilizing plate 6, a fixing frame 7, and a fixing rod 8. The stabilizing plate 6 is fixedly mounted on the platform 1. Two fixing frames 7 are detachably mounted on the side of the stabilizing plate 6. A fixing rod 8 is fixedly mounted on the side of each of the two fixing frames 7. The fixing rod 8 is detachably mounted on the side of one of the support frames 4 and the stabilizing plate 6.

[0029] Specifically, after rotation is complete, another worker slides the support frame 4, which, under the action of the casters 5, moves the top of the support frame 4 to the bottom of the shelf 2. It should be noted that both the bottom of the shelf 2 and the bottom of the upper surface of the platform 1 have grooves, and the top of the support frame 4 is slidably installed within these grooves. When support is needed, the top of the support frame 4 is slid from the groove at the bottom of the upper surface of the platform 1 to the groove at the bottom of the shelf 2, stopping when the support frame 4 reaches the outermost end of the groove at the bottom of the shelf 2. Stop the movement, and then lock the caster wheel 5. Because the side of the stabilizing plate 6 has a groove that matches the side of the fixing frame 7, and the side of the support frame 4 has a fixing groove that matches the side of the fixing rod 8, one of the fixing rods 8 matches the fixing groove on the side of one of the support frames 4. Therefore, the operator can move the fixing frame 7 forward on the side of the stabilizing plate 6 and embed it deeply into the groove of the stabilizing plate 6, and simultaneously drive the fixing rod 8 into the fixing groove of the support frame 4, thereby further fixing the two support frames 4.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, it should be added that when the support frame 4 is moved to a position where it can be fixed, the protective plate 3 can also be fixed by the connecting tensioning assembly. The connecting tensioning assembly includes a mounting plate 9, a rotating shaft 10 and a tensioning bracket 11. Two mounting plates 9 are fixedly installed on the side of the protective plate 3, and the rotating shaft 10 is rotatably installed between the two mounting plates 9. The tensioning bracket 11 is set in an L-shape, and the side of the tensioning bracket 11 is fixedly installed on the side of the rotating shaft 10. The side of the connecting rod 12 is provided with a slot that matches the side of the tensioning bracket 11.

[0031] Specifically, when the support frame 4 moves forward, the tensioning frame 11 can be rotated to a horizontal position via the rotating shaft 10. After the support frame 4 moves forward, the side of the tensioning frame 11 can be inserted into the slot of the connecting rod 12, thereby preventing the protective plate 3 from rotating and thus limiting its movement.

[0032] If transport is required, first pull out the fixing rod 8, unlock the caster wheel 5, move the support frame 4 backward, and slide the top of the support frame 4 to the part of the placement platform 1 to detach it from the platform 2. Then, one or more staff members hold the platform 2 and slowly rotate it to a vertical position. Because the side of the platform 2 has a fixing hole that matches the fixing rod 8, continue to move the previously pulled-out fixing rod 8 forward and reinsert it into the fixing hole of the platform 2 to fix the platform 2. After the support frame 4 slides to the far end of the slide groove of the platform 1, the other fixing rod 8 is inserted into the fixing groove of the support frame 4 to fix the support frame 4. At this time, the protective plate 3 is released from its limit. Rotate the rotating shaft 10 to rotate the tensioning frame 11 to a vertical position to reduce the space occupied. Then rotate the protective plate 3 180° to fit against the side of the platform 1. At this time, the cash register can be transported. The cash register after compression and folding occupies less space and is easy to transport.

[0033] Working Principle: When using this flip-top cash register, the staff first places the placement platform 1 in the designated position using a transport tool. Then, the protective plate 3 is rotated, at which point it adheres to the side of the placement platform 1. Under the action of the hinge, it is rotated to a position level with the side of the placement platform 1. Subsequently, the shelf 2 is rotated to a position level with the surface of the placement platform 1. After rotation, one staff member keeps the shelf 2 level while another staff member slides the support frame 4. Under the action of the casters 5, the top of the support frame 4 moves to the bottom of the shelf 2. 4. After sliding to the far end of the groove at the bottom of the shelf 2, stop moving. Then, lock the caster wheel 5. Then, the staff can move the fixing frame 7 forward on the side of the stabilizing plate 6 and embed it deeply into the groove of the stabilizing plate 6. At the same time, the fixing rod 8 is inserted into the fixing groove of the support frame 4 to further fix the two support frames 4. When the support frame 4 moves forward, the rotating shaft 10 rotates the tensioning frame 11 to a horizontal position. At this time, after the support frame 4 moves forward, the side of the tensioning frame 11 can be inserted into the slot of the connecting rod 12 to limit the protective plate 3. Then, the cashier work can be carried out.

[0034] When moving the counter, first pull out the fixing rod 8, unlock the caster wheel 5, move the support frame 4 backward, slide the top of the support frame 4 to the placement platform 1, detaching it from the platform 2, and then slowly rotate it to a vertical position. Then, move the previously pulled-out fixing rod 8 forward and reinsert it into the fixing hole of the platform 2 to fix the platform 2. It should be noted that when the platform 2 is in a vertical position, the fixing hole on the side of the platform 2 is at the same horizontal level as one of the fixing rods 8. After the support frame 4 slides to the far end of the slide groove of the platform 1, the other fixing rod 8 is inserted into the fixing groove of the support frame 4, and at the same time, the fixing frame 7 is also inserted into the groove on the side of the stabilizing plate 6 to fix the support frame 4. At this time, the protective plate 3 is released from its limit. Rotate the rotating shaft 10 to rotate the tensioning frame 11 to a vertical position, and then rotate the protective plate 3 180° to fit against the side of the platform 1 before moving the counter.
