It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be a component centrally located at the same time.

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] This utility model embodiment provides a touch screen cash register, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the device includes a cash register housing 10, a touch screen 20, a support assembly 30, and a storage assembly 40. The touch screen 20 is mounted on the cash register housing 10. The cash register housing 10 contains a control board 50 and a protection board 60. The control board 50 is connected to the touch screen 20 via a signal, and the protection board 60 is in contact with the touch screen 20. The cash register housing 10 is connected to the support component 30, and the storage component 40 is used to enclose and store the stylus 70. The storage component 40 is slidably attached to the support component 30 and has a temporary storage slot 414 for temporarily placing the stylus 70.

[0023] It should be noted that the touchscreen cash register provided by this utility model achieves enclosed and orderly storage of the stylus 70 by setting a storage component 40 that slides onto the support component 30 and configuring a temporary storage slot 414 for temporarily placing the stylus 70. This structural design effectively solves the problems in the prior art where the stylus 70 is placed randomly, resulting in space occupation at the cash register and being easily covered by receipts or goods. This reduces the time cashiers spend searching for the stylus 70 during busy periods and significantly improves cash register efficiency. At the same time, the enclosed storage also helps to keep the stylus 70 clean, avoids screen contamination with oil, and improves operational hygiene and user experience. Therefore, this invention solves the problem of inconvenient storage of the stylus 70 in existing touchscreen cash registers.

[0024] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the storage assembly 40 includes a storage main shell 41 with a receiving cavity 411 for storing the stylus 70. One end of the storage main shell 41 is rotatably connected to a storage cover 42 for closing the receiving cavity 411. A temporary storage slot 414 is formed on the top of the storage main shell 41.

[0025] In practical implementation, a dedicated, protected storage space is provided for the stylus 70 by setting up a main housing 41 with a receiving cavity 411. Combined with a rotatable storage cover 42, the receiving cavity 411 can be closed when not in use, effectively preventing dust, oil, liquids, and other foreign matter from contaminating the stylus 70. It also prevents damage to the stylus 70 due to accidental collisions or drops, extending its lifespan. A temporary storage slot 414 provides a more convenient temporary storage point for cashiers during brief interruptions (such as when handling goods or banknotes with both hands). This design eliminates the need to open and close the storage cover 42, enabling quick access to and from the stylus 70, greatly improving operational continuity and efficiency. The temporary storage slot 414 is directly integrated into the top of the main housing 41 without adding extra components, fully utilizing the space of the existing structure and achieving functional integration. This allows the entire storage component 40 to maintain a compact size while providing two storage modes, without excessively occupying space on the checkout counter or the machine itself.

[0026] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, a storage spring 43 is installed in the receiving cavity 411 of the main housing 41. The storage spring 43 is connected to a storage platform 44. The end of the storage platform 44 away from the storage spring 43 has a slot 441 for inserting and engaging with the stylus 70. A limiting strip 442 is provided on the side wall of the storage platform 44. The limiting strip 442 and the storage platform 44 are integrally formed. The main housing 41 has a limiting groove 412 that slides and engages with the limiting strip 442.

[0027] In practice, the stylus 70 is stored in a compressed elastic system through the combined use of the storage spring 43 and the storage platform 44. When the user opens the storage cover 42, the elastic restoring force of the storage spring 43 causes the storage platform 44 to automatically pop the stylus 70 upwards, exposing the tip of the stylus 70 outside the opening of the receiving cavity 411. This design eliminates the need for the user to laboriously pry the stylus 70 out of the cavity with their fingers, achieving quick and convenient one-click stylus retrieval, greatly improving stylus retrieval efficiency and the smoothness of human-computer interaction.

[0028] The stylus 70 is effectively secured to the storage platform 44 by inserting into the slot 441 on the storage platform 44 with the pen body or tip. This prevents the stylus 70 from moving, rolling, or colliding with the inner wall of the main storage shell 41, thus preventing noise and wear. This ensures the stability and safety of the stylus 70 in its stored state. A key guiding mechanism is formed by the sliding engagement of the limiting strip 442 and the limiting groove 412. This design ensures that the storage platform 44, under the elastic force of the storage spring 43 and when pressed back into place by external force, can only move in a straight line along the vertical direction specified by the limiting groove 412, and cannot rotate or wobble.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the storage component 40 is provided with a sliding groove 322, and the bottom of the storage main shell 41 is provided with a slider 413 that slides in cooperation with the sliding groove 322. The slider 413 and the storage main shell 41 are integrally formed.

[0030] In practice, the connection between the storage component 40 and the support component 30 is standardized and simplified through the sliding engagement of the slide groove 322 and the slider 413. The entire storage component 40 can be installed and disassembled with a simple sliding operation, making it an independent and quickly replaceable functional module. This greatly simplifies the production assembly process and facilitates subsequent cleaning, maintenance, or component replacement, effectively reducing maintenance costs and time.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the support assembly 30 includes a first support frame 31, a second support frame 32, and a support base plate 33 connected in sequence. The first support frame 31 and the second support frame 32 are snapped together. Two third support frames 34 are detachably connected to the second support frame 32. Each third support frame 34 has a rotating shaft 35 rotatably connected inside it, and the rotating shaft 35 is fastened to the cash register housing 10. In this embodiment, a groove 322 is formed on the second support frame 32.

[0032] In practice, the support assembly 30 is assembled from multiple parts (first support frame 31, second support frame 32, and third support frame 34) through snap-fit ​​and detachable connections. This modular design greatly facilitates manufacturing, packaging, transportation, and on-site installation. Each component can be flattened for packaging, effectively reducing transportation volume, lowering logistics costs, and allowing for rapid on-site assembly. The tilt angle of the touchscreen 20 is adjusted by the fastening of the rotating shafts 35 within the two third support frames 34 to the POS housing 10. This allows cashiers to adjust the screen to the most comfortable viewing and operating angle, effectively reducing neck fatigue during long hours of work and greatly improving the ergonomic experience.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the second support frame 32 has a support plate 321 inside, and the support plate 321 has an arc-shaped support groove 3211. The support plate 321 and the second support frame 32 are integrally formed. The bottom of the support base plate 33 is provided with several support pads.

[0034] In practice, the support pad acts as a buffer medium, absorbing minor vibrations generated during the checkout process (such as tapping on the keyboard or placing goods), preventing the rigid support base 33 from directly contacting the countertop. This protects the checkout countertop from scratches and reduces noise caused by vibration transmission.

[0035] Working Principle: This utility model provides a touchscreen cash register that achieves enclosed and orderly storage of the stylus 70 by setting a storage component 40 that slides onto the support component 30 and configuring a temporary storage slot 414 for temporarily placing the stylus 70. This structural design effectively solves the problems in the prior art where the stylus 70 is placed randomly, resulting in space occupation on the cash register and being easily covered by receipts or goods. This reduces the time cashiers spend searching for the stylus 70 during busy periods, significantly improving cash register efficiency. At the same time, the enclosed storage also helps keep the stylus 70 clean, preventing the screen from getting oily, improving operational hygiene and user experience. Therefore, this invention solves the problem of inconvenient storage of the stylus 70 in existing touchscreen cash registers.

[0036] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
