The vertical direction between the first screen and the printing mechanism is vertical, reducing the plane area of the cash register.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the printing mechanism comprises: a printer board disposed in the accommodating space and electrically connected to the motherboard; a thermal printing core disposed in the accommodating space and electrically connected The printing machine board; and a paper roll slot are opened in the accommodating space and facing the first shell surface, and are located below the printing machine board and the thermal printing movement, and the paper roll slot is provided with a paper The rolls and rolls of paper pass through the thermal impression movement. The printing mechanism of the printing mechanism and the thermal printing movement and the paper roll groove are arranged in a vertical direction in a vertical direction to reduce the plane area of the printing mechanism.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the bottom end position of the first shell surface of the body is pivoted with the bottom end of a cover plate, the cover plate is slidably closed to the paper roll groove, and the top end of the cover plate is first A paper exit is formed between the shell faces to communicate with the paper roll groove, and is adjacent to the thermal impression printing core. The cover plate prevents external dust and debris from intruding into the paper roll groove, and the paper exit is used as the exit of the paper roll when printing.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the upright integrated cash register further includes a card reader disposed on the first shell surface of the body and electrically connected to the motherboard. The card reader is used to read information of a card such as a membership card.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the upright integrated cash register further includes a second screen pivotally disposed at a near top end of the second shell surface of the body and electrically connected to the motherboard. The second screen is for customers, allowing customers to view the necessary information.

The foregoing and other technical aspects, features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the Detailed Description of the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 2 to FIG. 5 , an upright integrated cash register according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a body 100 , a card swiping mechanism 150 , A first screen 200, a card reader 300 and a second screen 400.

The body 100 is a main body of the cash register, and has a first shell surface 110 and a second shell surface 120 opposite to each other. An accommodating space 130 is disposed between the two shell surfaces, and is electrically connected to each other. A motherboard 140 and a printing mechanism 150. The motherboard 140 is provided with the main circuit of the cash register.

The printing mechanism 150 includes a printer board 151, a thermal printing core 152 and a paper roll slot 153. The printer board 151 is provided with a main circuit for printing, which is disposed in the accommodating space 130 of the body 100 and electrically connected to the motherboard 140. The thermal printing movement 152 is also disposed in the accommodating space 130 of the body 100, and is electrically connected to the printing machine board 151, and can receive the printing instruction of the printing machine board 151. The paper roll groove 153 is defined in the accommodating space of the body 100 and faces the first shell surface 110, and is located below the printing machine board 151 and the thermal printing core 152; the paper roll groove 153 is provided with a paper roll 160, the paper 161 of the paper roll passes through the thermal printing movement 152. The printing plate 151, the thermal printing core 152, and the paper roll 160 are used to perform the printing function.

The bottom end of the first shell surface 110 of the body 100 is pivotally disposed with the bottom end of a cover plate 170. The cover plate 170 is slidably closed to the paper roll groove 153 for maintaining the appearance of the body 100. And preventing external dust and debris from intruding inside the body 100. In a state in which the cover plate 170 is closed to the paper roll groove 153 of the body 100, a paper exit 171 is formed between the top end of the cover plate 170 and the first cover surface 110, which communicates with the paper roll groove 153 during printing. As a print exit of the paper 161 of the paper roll 160.

The first screen 200 is oriented to the clerk, and the first screen 200 is pivoted to the near top end of the first shell surface 110 of the body 100 and is located on the paper. The printing mechanism 150 is above and electrically connected to the motherboard 140. Therefore, the first screen 200 and the printing plate 151 of the printing mechanism 150, the thermal printing core 152, and the paper roll groove 153 are disposed in a straight direction in the vertical direction. The first screen 200 is a touch screen, which can perform the function of the cash register together with the motherboard 140.

The card reader 300 is disposed on the first shell surface 110 of the body 100, between the first screen 200 and the paper roll slot 153, and is electrically connected to the motherboard 140. The card reader 300 is used to read information of a card 310 such as a membership card.

The second screen 400 is oriented in the direction of the customer. The second screen 400 is pivotally disposed at a near top end of the second shell surface 120 of the body 100, and is electrically connected to the motherboard 140 for displaying necessary information to facilitate the customer view. Vision.

The upright integrated cash register according to an embodiment of the present invention mainly integrates the cash register body 100, the first screen 200, the card reader 300, the second screen 400, and the printing mechanism 150 into one body, and has structural beauty. And integrity.
