Referring to fig. 1 and 3, a first embodiment of the present application provides a direction-changing structure 100 of a POS device, including a first housing 10, a second housing 20, a connecting rod 30 and an elastic member 40. A plurality of protruding positioning blocks 21 are disposed on a surface of the second housing 20 facing the first housing 10, a plurality of positioning grooves 11 are disposed on a surface of the first housing 10 facing the second housing 20, and the positioning grooves 11 receive the positioning blocks 21. The positioning blocks 21 are disposed on the second housing 20 in a central symmetry manner, and the positioning grooves 11 are disposed on the first housing 10 in a central symmetry manner. One end of the connecting rod 30 is connected to the first housing 10, and the other end thereof penetrates through the second housing 20. The elastic member 40 is sleeved on the periphery of the connecting rod 30, and two ends of the elastic member 40 respectively support against the first housing 10 and the connecting rod 30.

In this embodiment, the number of the positioning blocks 21 and the number of the positioning grooves 11 are four, and the four positioning blocks 21 and the four positioning grooves 11 are disposed at four corners of the second casing 20 and the first casing 10, respectively, and are symmetric with respect to the center. The positioning blocks 21 are matched with the positioning grooves 11 in shape, so that after the first housing 10 rotates 180 ° relative to the second housing 20, the positioning blocks 21 can be accommodated in the corresponding positioning grooves 11, thereby realizing the reversing of the first housing 10 relative to the second housing 20.

In the present application, the cross-sections of the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 may also be other symmetrical patterns, such as a square, a regular pentagon, a regular hexagon, etc., so that the first housing 10 can be positioned and connected when rotated by 90 °, 72 °, 60 °, etc. relative to the second housing 20, so that the POS machine 200 can be designed according to a required rotation angle.

The positioning block 21 and the positioning groove 11 have shapes substantially corresponding to each other, so that the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 are not easily rotated when the positioning block and the positioning groove are in corresponding contact. The two protruding sides of the positioning block 21 can be attached to the sidewalls of the positioning groove 11 to firmly fix the first casing 10 and the second casing 20.

The user pulls the first housing 10 to separate the positioning block 21 from the positioning groove 11, and at this time, the first housing 10 is separated from the second housing 20. Meanwhile, the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 can be rotated relatively, and at this time, as shown in fig. 1, in this embodiment, after the rotation of 180 degrees, the first housing 10 is released, and at this time, the positioning blocks 21 fall into the symmetrical positioning grooves 11, and the first housing 10 is fixed relative to the second housing 20, and the relative state is shown in fig. 2.

In this embodiment, the connecting rod 30 is located at the center of the first and

second housings

10 and 20, and the first and

second housings

10 and 20 rotate around the connecting rod 30. Meanwhile, the circular protrusion 12 is arranged at the center of the first shell 10, the circular recess 22 is arranged at the center of the second shell 20, and the shapes of the circular protrusion 12 and the circular recess 22 correspond to each other, so that the stability of the relative position is still kept when the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 rotate relatively, pressure on the connecting rod 30 caused by too large shearing force is avoided, the probability of damage is reduced, and the service life is prolonged.

Referring to fig. 4, in an embodiment, the connecting rod 30 includes a first portion 31, a second portion 32 and a third portion 33 connected in sequence. The first portion 31 extends out and is connected to the first housing 10, and the third portion 33 extends out and abuts against the second housing 20. The first portion 31 protrudes to the side of the second portion 32, and the third portion 33 protrudes to the side of the second portion 32.

It should be explained that the connecting rod 30 is substantially cylindrical and hollow inside. The first portion 31 and the third portion 33 are in a ring shape protruding outward relative to the outer side of the second portion 32, so as to achieve the effect of abutting positioning.

In an embodiment, the elastic element 40 is sleeved on the outer surface of the second portion 32, and one end of the elastic element 40 abuts against the first portion 31 and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the first housing 10 to continuously apply an acting force, so that the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 have a tendency of relative displacement. When the first casing 10 is pulled, the elastic member 40 is deformed under pressure, stores elastic potential energy, and increases the tendency of the first casing 10 to be engaged and fixed with the second casing 20, thereby improving the ease of use and slightly improving the fixing effect.

Referring to fig. 3, in an embodiment, a circuit board 13 and a code scanning element 14 are disposed in the first housing 10, and the code scanning element 14 is connected to the circuit board 13. The first housing 10 is opened with a code scanning window 15, the code scanning member 14 is disposed toward the code scanning window 15, and the second housing 20 is opened with a positioning hole 25 for positioning the cable 50. The bar code scanning component 14 is used for scanning bar codes to be scanned by the POS machine 200, and the circuit board 13 is used for processing and transmitting data. The embodiment further comprises a cable 50, one end of the cable 50 is electrically connected to the code scanning element 14, and the other end of the cable 50 passes through the circuit board 13, sequentially passes through the connecting rod 30 and the second housing 20, and passes through the positioning hole 25, and is finally connected to the display screen 210 on the POS machine 200, so as to output the scanning result of the code scanning element 14, and facilitate the observation of a user.

The circuit board 13 is provided with a through hole 131 at the center, and the connecting rod 30 can pass through the through hole 131, so that the position of the circuit board 13 relative to the connecting rod 30 is relatively fixed, and the position of the circuit board 13 is prevented from being changed excessively in the rotating and reversing processes.

In one embodiment, the first casing 10 has a positioning slot 16, the second casing 20 has a protruding positioning wedge 23, and the positioning slot 16 accommodates the positioning wedge 23. Besides the positioning block 21 and the positioning groove 11, a second set of positioning structures is provided to further enhance the positioning effect. In this embodiment, the positioning slot 16 and the positioning wedge 23 are arranged in a central symmetry manner, so that the first casing 10 and the second casing 20 can be still embedded after rotating 180 degrees. And the positioning wedge 23 in this embodiment is a sheet, and is attached to and abutted against the side wall of the positioning slot 16 after being inserted into the positioning slot 16, so as to further improve the stability of connection.

In one embodiment, the number of the positioning slots 16 is twice that of the positioning wedges 23, and the plurality of positioning slots 16 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the connecting rod 30. In this embodiment, the number of the positioning slots 16 is four, the number of the positioning wedges 23 is two, and the positioning wedges 23 are offset with respect to one side, so that the two positioning wedges 23 are inserted into two different positioning slots 16 after being rotated.

The display screen 210 is electrically connected to the cable 50 to output related data.

The POS switch structure 100 can be connected to the first connection 220 or the second connection 230 to scan for different application scenarios. The cable 50 is connected to the display screen 210 through the first connection part 220 or the second connection part 230. The second housing 20 is provided with a corresponding positioning protrusion 24 for connecting the first connecting portion 220 or the second connecting portion 230, so as to fix the POS switch structure 100 to the display screen 210.

In this embodiment, the first connection portion 220 and the second connection portion 230 each have a concave hole 240 and a convex rod 250, the positioning protrusion 24 on the second housing 20 is adjacent to the positioning hole 25, when the POS reversing structure 100 is connected to the display screen 210, the positioning protrusion 24 is embedded into the concave hole 240, the convex rod 250 is embedded into the positioning hole 25, and the convex rod 250 contacts the positioning protrusion 24, and the cross sections of the two form an approximate complete circle, so that the POS reversing structure 100 is connected stably and is not easy to rotate and shift.
