The control screen 3 is a fully-attached touch screen, and is an induction type liquid crystal display device capable of receiving input signals such as contacts. When the on-screen graphic buttons are touched, the on-screen haptic feedback system can drive various connecting devices according to the preprogrammed program and produce vivid audio-visual effects by means of the liquid crystal display.

The customer display screen 4 displays numbers by adopting devices such as a broken code screen or a nixie tube and the like and is mainly used for users to check prices.

The housing 1 comprises a bottom end 11, a base 12, an extension 13 and a top end 14 arranged in sequence. The angle between the extension 13 and the base 12 is an obtuse angle. The control panel 3 is provided on the base 12. The passenger display screen 4 is disposed on the extension portion 13. The scanning device 2 is directed towards the tip 14.

Referring to fig. 1-4, the base 12 is provided with side edges 121. The cashier device comprises a switch 5 and a trigger key 6. The switch 5 is coupled to the scanning device 2. The trigger key 6 is disposed on the side 121. The trigger key 6 includes an operation portion 61 and a trigger portion 62. When the operation part 61 is stressed, the triggering part 62 is driven to move towards the direction approaching to the switch 5 so as to trigger the switch 5, so that the scanning device 2 is started. The outer surface of the operating part 61 is arc-shaped to facilitate the application of force by the finger.

The trigger key 6 is arranged, so that an operator can hook the trigger key 6 only by naturally bending the finger, and compared with a common push button, the operation is more sensitive, and the cashing efficiency is improved; meanwhile, the trigger key 6 can quickly start the scanning device 2, so that the finger is not easy to fatigue when pressed.

The trigger key 6 includes an end 63. The operation portion 61 protrudes from the end portion 63 and the side edge 121. The operation part 61 rotates relative to the end part 63 when being stressed, so as to drive the triggering part 62 to trigger the switch 5.

The operation portion 61 and the trigger portion 62 are provided in the elastic portion 642. When the operation portion 61 is stressed, the elastic portion 642 is driven to deform, and the elastic force of the elastic portion 642 can drive the operation portion 61 to return.

The spring plate 64 is arranged, so that the trigger key 6 is simple in structure, and the manufacturing cost and the assembly cost are reduced.

The width of the operation part 61 is smaller than the width of the elastic part 642, the length of the operation part 61 is smaller than the length of the elastic part 642, the thickness of the operation part 61 is larger than the thickness of the elastic part 642, and the trigger key 6 is stably positioned and is easy to assemble. The side 121 is provided with a through hole 1211. The elastic portion 642 is located inside the side 121, and at least a part of the operating portion 61 is inserted through the through hole 1211.

Referring to fig. 1 and 5 to 6, the housing 1 includes an upper housing 15 and a lower housing 16 assembled together. The scanning device 2 and the switch 5 are located in a space defined by the upper housing 15 and the lower housing 16. The control screen 3 and the guest display screen 4 are both arranged on the upper shell 15. The upper casing 15 and the lower casing 16 are bent, so that an included angle between a plane where the guest display screen 4 is located and a plane where the control screen 3 is located is an obtuse angle.

The top 14, bottom 11 and sides 121 may be located on the upper housing 15 or on the lower housing 16. The housing 1 is provided with a window (not shown) for light to pass through so that the scanning device 2 can recognize the identifiable information. The window is arranged at the top end 14, and the scanning device 2 is directed towards the top end 14.

When the cashier apparatus is placed on a table, the two free ends of the lower housing 16 are respectively crimped to the table. The cashier device further comprises a foot pad 17 arranged on the lower housing 16. The foot pad 17 is contacted with the table top to prevent slipping and prevent the cashier equipment from slipping when being subjected to improper external force.

Referring to fig. 5, the cashier apparatus includes a speaker (not shown) and a sound outlet 18 provided in the housing 1. The sound outlet 18 is located at the back of the cashier device and near the bending position of the lower casing 16, so that the cashier device has a compact structure, which is beneficial to the miniaturization development trend of the cashier device.
