Background technique

In order to facilitate the marketing of commodities and speed up transactions, most commodities have been barcoded, that is, each commodity is given a set of parallel and straight stripes, and then the barcode scanner (CCD/LASER BarCode Scanner) is used to scan the barcode. information, and print the item number and unit price on sales documents such as invoices or delivery notes, so that transactions can be completed as soon as possible.

On the other hand, cash and credit cards are currently the two most commonly used payment tools. Although the use of credit cards for transactions has become more and more common, cash transactions still commonly exist in various transaction places, such as mass merchandisers, convenience stores, supermarkets, department stores, etc., or traditional transaction markets that do not accept credit cards.

However, there is a problem with the use of cash transactions, that is, there are criminals who forge almost genuine banknotes (of course, credit cards also have the problem of forgery), and spread them in the market, so that counterfeit banknotes are flooding, causing many consumers or merchants to use banknotes due to the use of banknotes. Or accept counterfeit banknotes and suffer losses or disputes, and even lead to legal issues.

Of course, the banknotes issued by the central banks of various countries are designed with anti-counterfeiting functions to facilitate the identification of the authenticity of the banknotes. Some of the anti-counterfeiting features can be identified directly with the naked eye, some can be displayed in front of ordinary light, and some marks have to be passed through. It can only be revealed under the irradiation of ultraviolet light source, such as the reaction of fluorescent fibers; in other words, after the banknote is irradiated by ultraviolet light source, if there are fluorescent fibers of different colors or fluorescent numbers or fluorescent patterns, it is genuine, otherwise it is a counterfeit banknote . Therefore, under the situation that people are deeply afraid of holding counterfeit banknotes, various tools for identifying the authenticity of banknotes have naturally emerged as the times require.

According to the designer's discovery, if the store can also check the authenticity of the banknotes when accepting cash transactions, it will reduce the losses caused by merchants accepting counterfeit banknotes, and at the same time avoid the possibility of disputes with consumers.

On the other hand, when the consumer submits the purchased product to the counter for price calculation, the cashier’s next action flow is: scan the bar code on the product with a hand-held barcode scanner, and the cash register screen will display the product number and The unit price, and then collect the banknotes for payment from the consumer, make change and deliver the invoice to the consumer.

Therefore, the designer found that although the barcode scanner and banknote verification tool are two irrelevant requirements, they often accompany cash transactions. Therefore, if the banknote verification tool can be set on the barcode scanner, then After the cashier receives the banknote from the consumer, he can directly use the banknote verification tool on the barcode scanner to identify the authenticity of the banknote, without using other banknote verification tools independent of the scanner, making the transaction process easier It can be completed as soon as possible, saving both buyers and sellers time.

Contents of the invention

Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a barcode scanner with the function of identifying the authenticity of banknotes, so that after scanning the barcode on the commodity, it can directly use the banknote verification device on the scanner to identify the banknotes used by consumers to pay for the goods. The authenticity of banknotes, so as to completely eliminate the possibility of merchants accepting counterfeit banknotes, so as to avoid losses and disputes with consumption.

According to the utility model, the barcode scanner with the function of identifying the authenticity of banknotes includes a clamping seat for a tube to be inserted freely. The tube has an ultraviolet light source and a power supply, and a power switch is arranged on the barcode scanner. , the switch, the light source and the power supply form a loop that can be turned on and off by operating the switch. When the switch is ON, the circuit that connects the power supply to the light source is turned on to light the light source to illuminate the banknotes to be checked. The authenticity of the banknote can be identified depending on whether it shows fluorescent fiber filaments of different colors or fluorescent numbers or fluorescent patterns.

The above-mentioned light source can also be directly installed on the barcode scanner, and the power supply is taken from the existing power supply of the scanner, and is connected with the switch on the barcode scanner to form a circuit that can turn the light source on and off by operating the switch.

The bar code scanner further includes a magnetic detection device to check whether the ink on the banknote contains magnetic substances, and if there is no magnetic substance, an audible warning signal is sent out, and if there is, no warning signal is sent out, so as to distinguish the authenticity of the banknote.
