Description

本発明の実施形態は、チェックアウト端末に関する。 Embodiments of the present invention relate to checkout terminals.

「コンビニ電子タグ１０００億枚宣言」など、商品の個品に電子タグを付す動きがある。複数の電子タグを効率よく確実に一括で読み取るための発明として、電子タグからの商品ＩＤを読み取るための空間を閉じる筐体やフタを備える装置が提案されている。 There is a movement to attach electronic tags to individual products such as "Declaration of 100 billion electronic tags at convenience stores". As an invention for efficiently and surely reading a plurality of electronic tags at once, a device provided with a housing and a lid for closing a space for reading a product ID from the electronic tags has been proposed.

特開2015-207119号公報JP-A-2015-207119

電子タグからの商品ＩＤを読み取るための空間を閉じるフタがあると、その空間の容積や形状が限られてしまう。一回に購入する商品が少数の食料品である可能性が高いと想定される、コンビニエンスストアのセルフチェックアウト端末では、店舗が狭いとか、食料品の形状が様々である上に平らに置かなくてはならないなど商品の姿勢の制限があるとかで、電子タグからの商品ＩＤを読み取るための空間を閉じるためには制約が多い。このような制約に係る課題の解決策が必要である。 If there is a lid that closes the space for reading the product ID from the electronic tag, the volume and shape of the space will be limited. Convenience store self-checkout terminals, where it is assumed that the items purchased at one time are likely to be a small number of groceries, are small, have various shapes of groceries, and do not lay flat. There are many restrictions on closing the space for reading the product ID from the electronic tag, such as restrictions on the posture of the product, such as not being allowed. There is a need for a solution to the problems associated with such constraints.

一実施形態において、チェックアウト端末は、商品ＩＤタグを有する商品の商品ＩＤを読み取るアンテナと、前記商品を入れるための開口部を有するバスケットと、前記開口部を電磁波的に塞ぐバスケットカバーと、を備え、前記バスケットの底が、矩形のフットプリントの第１の商品を水平に保持する土手と、前記第１の商品のフットプリントよりも小さい円形のフットプリントを有し前記第１の商品よりも背の高い第２の商品がはまり込む、前記土手よりも深い堀と、を備える。 In one embodiment, the checkout terminal includes an antenna for reading a product ID of a product having a product ID tag, a basket having an opening for storing the product, and a basket cover that electromagnetically closes the opening. The bottom of the basket has a bank that horizontally holds the first product with a rectangular footprint and a circular footprint smaller than the footprint of the first product, and is smaller than the first product. It has a moat deeper than the bank into which a tall second product fits.

以下、商品読取装置の実施形態について、図面を用いて説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the product reading device will be described with reference to the drawings.

（第１の実施形態）
図１は、一実施形態に係るチェックアウト端末１００の外観図である。 (First Embodiment)
FIG. 1 is an external view of a checkout terminal 100 according to an embodiment.

一点鎖線で示したXYZ座標のZ軸方向において、右下側が筐体１０１の前側、左上側が筐体１０１の後ろ側であるものとする。Y軸の矢印が示す向きを上であるものとする。X軸に平行な方向を左右方向であるものとする。筐体１０１の前側に立つ客からみて、筐体１０１の前側が手前側、筐体１０１の後ろ側が奥側ということになる。 It is assumed that the lower right side is the front side of the housing 101 and the upper left side is the rear side of the housing 101 in the Z-axis direction of the XYZ coordinates shown by the alternate long and short dash line. It is assumed that the direction indicated by the arrow on the Y-axis is up. The direction parallel to the X axis is assumed to be the left-right direction. From the perspective of the customer standing on the front side of the housing 101, the front side of the housing 101 is the front side, and the rear side of the housing 101 is the back side.

チェックアウト端末１００は、筐体１０１の天面にタッチパネルディスプレイ１１０、非接触式カード読取部１１２、バスケットカバー１１６を備える。 The checkout terminal 100 includes a touch panel display 110, a non-contact card reading unit 112, and a basket cover 116 on the top surface of the housing 101.

タッチパネルディスプレイ１１０は、バスケット１１４内の商品群の個品それぞれの商品名やその金額を表示する。非接触式カード読取部１１２は客が決済を行うために近づける非接触カードの情報を読取る。 The touch panel display 110 displays the product name and the amount of each individual product of the product group in the basket 114. The contactless card reading unit 112 reads the information of the contactless card that the customer brings to make a payment.

筐体１０１の天面のバスケットカバー１１６を開いてバスケット１１４へ客が商品群を入れる。商品は例えば、矩形のフットプリントを有する弁当２１０や、弁当よりも小さい円形のフットプリントを有するドリンク飲料ボトル２２０である等である。商品は個品毎の商品ＩＤを持つ商品ＩＤタグをそれぞれに備えている。バスケット１１４のなかにはアンテナ３００がある。アンテナ３００は商品群の個品それぞれが備える商品ＩＤタグと通信し、商品個品毎の商品ＩＤを取得する。 The customer puts the product group in the basket 114 by opening the basket cover 116 on the top surface of the housing 101. The product is, for example, a bento 210 having a rectangular footprint, a drink / beverage bottle 220 having a circular footprint smaller than the bento, and the like. Each product has a product ID tag having a product ID for each individual product. There is an antenna 300 in the basket 114. The antenna 300 communicates with the product ID tag provided for each individual product in the product group, and acquires the product ID for each individual product.

なお、客を操作者とするセルフチェックアウト端末のように説明するが、例えば店舗の従業員など、どのような者が操作者になってもよい。 Although the description is given as a self-checkout terminal with a customer as an operator, any person such as a store employee may be the operator.

バスケットカバー１１６はバスケット１１４の上方の開口部を電磁波的にふさぐ蓋である。 The basket cover 116 is a lid that electromagnetically closes the opening above the basket 114.

バスケットカバー１１６は例えば導電性の金属製でもよい。バスケットカバー１１６は例えば電磁波シールドガラス製でもよい。バスケットカバー１１６は例えば電磁波シールド機能性プラスチック製でもよい。あるいは、バスケットカバー１１６の材質自体は電磁波シールド機能性がなくても、アクディブな電磁場制御器によってバスケット１１４を電磁波的に密閉するしくみを有する構造であってもよい。いずれにせよバスケットカバー１１６は、バスケットカバー１１６が商品ＩＤタグと通信するためのアンテナを担持するのでなければ、電磁波シールド機能を備える。 The basket cover 116 may be made of, for example, a conductive metal. The basket cover 116 may be made of, for example, electromagnetic wave shield glass. The basket cover 116 may be made of, for example, an electromagnetic wave shielding functional plastic. Alternatively, the material of the basket cover 116 itself may not have the electromagnetic wave shielding function, but may have a structure having a mechanism for electromagnetically sealing the basket 114 by an active electromagnetic field controller. In any case, the basket cover 116 has an electromagnetic wave shielding function unless the basket cover 116 carries an antenna for communicating with the product ID tag.

なお、バスケットカバー１１６が商品ＩＤタグと通信するためのアンテナを担持する構造であれば、アンテナがバスケット１１４内に向いている側は電磁波透過性、アンテナのバスケット１１４と反対側は電磁波シールド性であればよい。 If the basket cover 116 has a structure that carries an antenna for communicating with the product ID tag, the side where the antenna faces inside the basket 114 is electromagnetic wave transmitting, and the side opposite to the antenna basket 114 is electromagnetic wave shielding. All you need is.

上方からみたシルエットではバスケットカバー１１６は筐体１０１のシルエットのなかに隠れる。 In the silhouette seen from above, the basket cover 116 is hidden in the silhouette of the housing 101.

筐体１０１はその前面に、バスケットカバー１１６の下面に面した窪み１１８を有する。客は窪み１１８に手を入れてバスケットカバー１１６を持ち上げる。窪み１１８はバスケット１１４まで貫通してはいない。 The housing 101 has a recess 118 facing the lower surface of the basket cover 116 on the front surface thereof. The customer puts his hand in the recess 118 and lifts the basket cover 116. The recess 118 does not penetrate to the basket 114.

バスケットカバー１１６の前側は軽量化および持ち上げやすさのため円弧状になっている。 The front side of the basket cover 116 has an arc shape for weight reduction and ease of lifting.

バスケット１１４の下は客が踏み込めるよう手前側の壁が取り払われた空間１０２になっている。 Below the basket 114 is a space 102 with the front wall removed so that customers can step on it.

図２は、チェックアウト端末１００の、図１に矢印Ａで示した断面の模式図である。図３は、バスケットカバー１１６を開けた状態のチェックアウト端末１００の平面図である。 FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the checkout terminal 100 shown by arrow A in FIG. FIG. 3 is a plan view of the checkout terminal 100 with the basket cover 116 open.

バスケットカバー１１６はバスケット１１４の上方の開口部を電磁波的にふさぐために支点１１６１まわりに回動する。客は窪み１１８に手を入れてバスケットカバー１１６の手前側を持ち上げて、奥側の支店１１６１まわりにバスケットカバー１１６を回動させることになる。 The basket cover 116 rotates around the fulcrum 1161 to electromagnetically close the opening above the basket 114. The customer puts his hand in the recess 118, lifts the front side of the basket cover 116, and rotates the basket cover 116 around the branch 1161 on the back side.

バスケットカバー１１６の下方にバスケット１１４がある。バスケットカバー１１６の下面はバスケット１１４に面する。 Below the basket cover 116 is the basket 114. The lower surface of the basket cover 116 faces the basket 114.

バスケット１１４の底面１１４１は、弁当２１０を平らに置くことができる寸法や形状である。 The bottom surface 1141 of the basket 114 is sized and shaped so that the lunch box 210 can be placed flat.

バスケット１１４の底面１１４１は、平らに置いた弁当２１０が落ち込まない入り口形状の堀１１４２を有する。堀１１４２は飲料ボトル２２０の下部が緩くはまり込む寸法や形状であり、堀１１４２の堀底１１４４は飲料ボトル２２０が直立できるよう平らである。 The bottom surface 1141 of the basket 114 has an entrance-shaped moat 1142 in which the flat lunch 210 does not fall. The moat 1142 has a size and shape in which the lower portion of the beverage bottle 220 is loosely fitted, and the moat bottom 1144 of the moat 1142 is flat so that the beverage bottle 220 can stand upright.

バスケット１１４の底面１１４１は、矢印Ａで示した断面上では堀１１４２が、客からみて奥側の土手１１４３と手前側の土手１１４５とに分断している。 The bottom surface 1141 of the basket 114 is divided into a bank 1143 on the back side and a bank 1145 on the front side when viewed from the customer by the moat 1142 on the cross section indicated by the arrow A.

バスケットカバー１１６が大きく重くなって客が開けにくくなるのを避けるためにバスケット１１４の上方の開口部を広くしすぎないようにしつつ、客が弁当２１０を手前寄せや奥寄せに平らにずらすことができる広さの底面１１４１を確保するために、バスケット１１４はＺ方向において支点１１６１よりも奥側へ入り込んだえぐり部１１４６ができるような奥側の壁１１４６を有する。えぐり部１１４６のＸ方向の幅は、弁当２１０の幅よりも広い。 The customer may shift the lunch box 210 flat to the front or back while not making the opening above the basket 114 too wide to prevent the basket cover 116 from becoming large and heavy and difficult for the customer to open. In order to secure a bottom surface 1141 that is as wide as possible, the basket 114 has a back wall 1146 that allows a gouge 1146 that penetrates deeper than the fulcrum 1161 in the Z direction. The width of the gouged portion 1146 in the X direction is wider than the width of the lunch box 210.

客が手前側から商品をバスケット１１４へ入れやすいように、バスケット１１４の上方の開口部の手前側のリップ１１４９はなるべく手前側に位置させたい一方、弁当２１０を平らに安定させるために底面１１４１のＸ方向の長さは適当な長さに制限したい。そのため、バスケット１１４の手前側の壁１１４８は、上方手前側から下方奥側に傾斜している部分がある。 The lip 1149 on the front side of the opening above the basket 114 should be positioned as close to the front side as possible so that the customer can easily put the product into the basket 114 from the front side, while the bottom surface 1141 is used to stabilize the lunch box 210 flatly. I want to limit the length in the X direction to an appropriate length. Therefore, the wall 1148 on the front side of the basket 114 has a portion inclined from the upper front side to the lower back side.

弁当２１０を手前寄せや奥寄せに平らにずらすことができる広さの底面１１４１を確保するために、バスケット１１４はＺ方向において支点１１６１よりも奥側へ入り込んだえぐり部１１４６ができるような奥側の壁１１４６を有する。 In order to secure a bottom surface 1141 having a width that allows the lunch box 210 to be flatly shifted toward the front or the back, the basket 114 is located on the back side so that a gouged portion 1146 that is inserted into the back side of the fulcrum 1161 in the Z direction can be formed. Has a wall of 1146.

奥側の土手１１４３、堀底１１４４、奥側の壁１１４６、手前側の壁１１４８のそれぞれにアンテナ３００がある。 There are antennas 300 on each of the bank 1143 on the back side, the bottom of the moat 1144, the wall 1146 on the back side, and the wall 1148 on the front side.

バスケット１１４の底面１１４１の筐体１０１天面からの高さ、すなわち深さは、バスケットカバー１１６を閉じても弁当２１０の上面と干渉しない上に、弁当２１０を平らに移動させやすいように深すぎない深さに形成されている。 The height, that is, the depth of the bottom surface 1141 of the basket 114 from the top surface of the housing 101 is too deep so that the lunch box 210 does not interfere with the upper surface of the lunch box 210 even when the basket cover 116 is closed, and the lunch box 210 can be easily moved flat. It is formed to no depth.

堀１１４２は上方から見ると、飲料ボトル２２０の下部が緩くはまり込む幅で連続し、両端に飲料ボトル２２０が緩くはまり込む程度の円弧を有する、角丸環状扇形である。 When viewed from above, the moat 1142 is a circular fan shape with rounded corners, in which the lower part of the beverage bottle 220 is continuous with a width that allows it to be loosely fitted, and has arcs at both ends that allow the beverage bottle 220 to be loosely fitted.

図４は弁当２１０を手前寄せに置いた状態の、図１に矢印Ａで示した断面の模式図である。 FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view shown by an arrow A in FIG. 1 in a state where the lunch box 210 is placed close to the front.

図５は、バスケットカバー１１６を開けて弁当２１０を手前寄せに置いた状態の、チェックアウト端末１００の平面図である。 FIG. 5 is a plan view of the checkout terminal 100 in a state where the basket cover 116 is opened and the lunch box 210 is placed close to the front.

客は弁当２１０を手前寄せに置けば、奥側の土手１１４３から手前側の土手１１４５まで橋渡しに堀１１４２の上空に平らに置くことができる。奥側の土手１１４３と手前側の土手１１４５とが弁当２１０の奥側と手前側との両端を支持するので、弁当２１０が安定する。 If the lunch box 210 is placed close to the front, the customer can place it flat above the moat 1142 as a bridge from the bank 1143 on the back side to the bank 1145 on the front side. Since the bank 1143 on the back side and the bank 1145 on the front side support both ends of the back side and the front side of the lunch box 210, the lunch box 210 is stable.

図６は弁当２１０を奥寄せに置いた状態の、図１に矢印Ａで示した断面の模式図である。 FIG. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view shown by an arrow A in FIG. 1 with the lunch box 210 placed in the back.

図７は、バスケットカバー１１６を開けて弁当２１０を奥寄せに置いた状態の、チェックアウト端末１００の平面図である。 FIG. 7 is a plan view of the checkout terminal 100 in a state where the basket cover 116 is opened and the lunch box 210 is placed in the back.

客は弁当２１０を奥寄せにずらすと、弁当２１０の手前側の辺が堀１１４２の上方に位置するので、客は弁当２１０をバスケット１１４から取り出すときに弁当２１０の下に堀１１４２を介して指を添えることができるので、弁当２１０が安定する。また、堀１１４２が環状扇形なので、堀１１４２のＸ方向の中央付近に指を入れる隙間をつくりつつも、弁当２１０の手前側の辺の左右の端つまり弁当の手前側の両角を手間側の土手１１４５で支持することができる。 When the customer shifts the bento 210 to the back, the front side of the bento 210 is located above the moat 1142, so that the customer points under the bento 210 through the moat 1142 when taking out the bento 210 from the basket 114. The lunch box 210 is stable because it can be added. In addition, since the moat 1142 is an annular fan shape, while creating a gap near the center of the moat 1142 in the X direction, the left and right ends of the front side of the lunch box 210, that is, both corners on the front side of the lunch box, are on the side of the bank. It can be supported at 1145.

図８及び図１０は飲料ボトル２２０を堀１１４２にはめ込んだ状態の、図１に矢印Ａで示した断面の模式図である。 8 and 10 are schematic views of a cross section shown by an arrow A in FIG. 1 in a state where the beverage bottle 220 is fitted in the moat 1142.

図９は、バスケットカバー１１６を開けて飲料ボトル２２０を堀１１４２にはめ込んだ状態の、チェックアウト端末１００の平面図である。 FIG. 9 is a plan view of the checkout terminal 100 in a state where the basket cover 116 is opened and the beverage bottle 220 is fitted in the moat 1142.

バスケット１１４の堀底１１４４の筐体１０１天面からの高さ、すなわち深さは、バスケットカバー１１６を閉じても背高である飲料ボトル２２０のてっぺんと干渉しない深さである。深い堀１１４２の側面が細長背高である飲料ボトル２２０の転倒を防止するので客は安心してバスケットカバー１１６の開閉を行うことができる。また、堀１１４２水平面上で環状扇形なので細長背高である飲料ボトル２２０の転倒をより防止しやすい。 The height from the top surface of the housing 101 of the bottom 1144 of the basket 114, that is, the depth is a depth that does not interfere with the top of the beverage bottle 220, which is tall even when the basket cover 116 is closed. Since the side surface of the deep moat 1142 prevents the beverage bottle 220 from tipping over, the customer can open and close the basket cover 116 with peace of mind. Further, since the moat 1142 has an annular fan shape on the horizontal plane, it is easier to prevent the beverage bottle 220, which is elongated and tall, from tipping over.

筐体１０１の空間１０２は、手前側からバスケット１１４の下、特に堀１１４２の下まで延びており、重い飲料ボトル２２０を持ち上げるときに踏ん張りやすいよう、客が踏み込めるようになっている。 The space 102 of the housing 101 extends from the front side to the bottom of the basket 114, particularly the bottom of the moat 1142, so that the customer can easily step on the heavy beverage bottle 220 when lifting it.
