Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve workability by arranging a reading window facing upward, forming a unit body separated from a housing by unifying a printer for receipt issuance and a displaying part, and arranging the unit body just behind the irradiation range of a laser beam emitted from the reading window. CONSTITUTION:The reading window 13 of a goods data reader 12 is arranged facing upward, and the unit body 21 in which the display part 19 is provided at the right side and the printer 20 for receipt issuance at the left side is mounted on the upper part of a column 18. The front face of the unit body 21 is formed so as to fit in the angle of the laser beam 24 emitted from the reading window 13 that is the angle of a part at the rear side of a scanning area 25 scanned with the laser beam 24, and also, it is formed at a position just behind the laser beam 24. Thereby, it is possible to arrange the printer 20 for receipt issuance in the neighborhood of an operator within a range not affecting on the scanning operation of goods, and to improve the workability of the exchange of a receipt sheet or the taking out of the receipt, etc.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a product sales registration device used as a P○S terminal having a built-in product data reading device.

2. Description of the Related Art An example of a conventional product sales registration device of this type will be described with reference to FIG. That is, a drawer 2 is provided at the bottom of the casing 1, and a display section 3 is provided at the rear of the top of the casing 1. In the center of the housing 1, a reading window 5 of a product data reading device 4 and a keyboard 6 are provided on the right side, and a receipt issuing printer 7 is provided on the left side.

Further, a receipt issuing port 9 for issuing a receipt 8 of the receipt issuing printer 7 is arranged on the front side.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The receipt 8 is issued from the front left side of the housing 1, but since the issued receipt 8 is close to the operator, there is a risk of interference with the operator and damage to the receipt 8.

In addition, the receipt issuing printer 7 is connected to the product data reading device 4.
Because they are arranged in parallel next to each other, the main body of the device is wide, and when scanning products with labels with barcodes printed on them and storing them in a basket, it is possible to scan products that are as large as the receipt issuing printer 7. There are also problems in that the operator has to move the scanner, which increases the burden on the operator and increases the scanning time.

Means for Solving the Problem In a product sales registration device equipped with a product data reading device, a keyboard, a display section, and a receipt printing printer,
A reading window of the product data reading device is disposed facing upward on the top surface of the casing, and the receipt issuing printer and the display section are integrated to form a unit body separated from the casing, and this unit The patient's body was placed immediately behind the irradiation range of the laser beam emitted from the reading window.

Since the receipt issuing printer is provided in a unit body formed separately from the housing in which the product data reading device is installed, the receipt issued from the receipt issuing printer may not interfere with the operator. This eliminates the risk of damaged receipts, and the width of the housing only needs to be large enough to accommodate only the product data reading device, thus reducing the distance for product scanning. The operator's burden can be reduced and the scanning time can be shortened, and the unit body is located immediately after the irradiation range of the laser beam emitted from the reading window. Therefore, the receipt issuing printer can be placed close to the operator without affecting the product scanning operation, and work efficiency such as replacing receipt paper and taking out receipts can be improved.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be explained based on FIGS. 1 and 2. First, a drawer 11 is provided at the bottom of the housing 10,
At the center of the upper part of this housing 10, there is a product data reading device 12.
is arranged, and the reading window 13 of this product data reading device 12
is placed facing upward. Further, a reading confirmation lamp 14 is provided at the upper right of the reading window 13. This reading confirmation lamp I4 is displayed in blue when reading is possible.
When data is read, the display changes to red to confirm that the data has been read.

Next, a keyboard 15 is provided in front of the reading window 13.
A bill and coin tray 16 is formed on the left side of the keyboard 15.

Furthermore, a PLU keyboard 1 is located at the back of the reading window 13.
7 is provided.

Two pillars 18 that protrude upward are integrally provided at the rear upper part of the housing 10, and a display section 19 is provided on the right side of the upper part of the pillars 18, and a receipt issuing printer is provided on the left side. A unit body 21 provided with 20 is attached. A receipt issuing port 23 for issuing a receipt 22 of the receipt issuing printer 20 is located at the upper part of the front side. Thus, the front surface of the unit body 21 is formed to match the angle of the laser beam 24 emitted from the reading window 13, that is, the angle of the rear part of the scanning area 25 scanned by the laser beam 24, Moreover, it is formed immediately after the laser beam 24.

In such a configuration, a barcode that can be read by the product data reading device 12 is printed on the label attached to the product. Therefore, when reading the product data, the product is scanned over the reading window 13.

As a result, data is captured, and when the data is read, the reading confirmation lamp I4 changes to red, so that the reading status can be confirmed.

When scanning this product, the product data reading device 12
Since it is formed independently in the width direction of the casing 10, its width dimension is small, so the product scanning distance is short, the burden on the operator is light, and the scanning time is short, making it easy to use. The product data is read in, and as a result, a receipt 22 is issued from the receipt issuing port 23. If the receipt 22 is of normal length, it will not come close to the reading window 13 of the product data reading device 12, as described above, and will be located at a position where the operator will not interfere with it. Therefore, there is no risk that the receipt 22 will be damaged by the operator. Moreover, since the 111th surface of the unit body 21 is aligned with the angle of the laser beam 2.4 and is placed immediately behind the laser beam 24, the position of the issued receipt 22 can be easily taken by the operator. It is.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides a product sales registration device equipped with a product data reading device, a keyboard, a display unit, and a receipt issuing printer, in which the reading window of the product data reading device is oriented upward on the top surface of the housing. At the same time, the receipt issuing printer and the display section are integrated to form a unit body separated from the Ai7 casing, and this unit body is connected to the irradiation range of the laser beam emitted from the reading window. Since the product data reading device is located immediately after the product data reader, the receipt issuance printer is provided in a unit that is separate from the casing in which the product data reading device is installed. The receipt does not interfere with the operator, thereby eliminating the risk of damage to the receipt, and the width of the housing only needs to be large enough to accommodate only the product data reading device.
Therefore, the distance to scan products can be shortened, reducing the burden on the operator.
The scanning time can also be shortened, and since the unit body is located immediately after the irradiation range of the laser beam emitted from the reading window, the scanning time can be reduced without affecting the scanning operation of the product. The receipt issuing printer can be placed close to the operator, which has the effect of improving work efficiency such as replacing receipt paper and taking out receipts.
