Abstract

PURPOSE:To strengthen a device against a dynamic load from the upper side and to dispense with a large human power for elevation by providing a hydraulic elevator which elevates a sucker board on which a POS terminal is mounted by hydraulic driving. CONSTITUTION:The hydraulic elevator is provided at the sucker board 1, and a top board 3 that is a movable part is elevated by delivering and stepping on a pedal 2 lightly. Accordingly, the scanner part 5 of POS terminal equipment 4 mounted on the top board 3 is also elevated simultaneously, and the height of the top board 3 and the scanner terminal equipment 4 can be adjusted fitting in a working condition for a product. It is desirable that the half part of the POS terminal equipment 4 is housed in the sucker board 1, and also, a mechanism to incline the scanner part 5 is added, thereby, the hardness of work due to the size of the product and the position of a bar code can be eliminated.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a checkout counter, and more particularly to a checkout counter equipped with a POS terminal device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 3, a checkout counter equipped with a conventional POS terminal device has a handle 9 that is manually turned to drive an ascending / descending soccer stand 11 by a gear and a rack and pinion type elevating mechanism 10. The soccer table 11 was moving up and down. Further, since the POS terminal device 4 itself is fixed on the top plate 3, when the product bar code is checked, the product is brought as close to the scanner unit as possible to adjust the emitted light to the bar code. Was there.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional checkout counter, since the position of the handle of the operation portion is low and it is of a manual type, it is difficult for an employee to use it. In addition, since the rack-and-pinion mechanism is used for the lifting mechanism, there is a drawback that it is weak against dynamic loads.
Further, since the POS terminal device is fixed, only the operation of raising and lowering the soccer table according to the size of the product is required, and it is difficult to accurately face the barcode portion of the product to the scanner unit. ..

[0004]

The check-out counter of the present invention is a check-out counter having a soccer table equipped with a POS terminal device, which has a hydraulic lift for raising and lowering the soccer table by hydraulic drive.

[0005]

The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1
In, there is a hydraulic lift inside the soccer table 1,
When the pedal 2 is lightly and repeatedly depressed, the top plate 3, which is a movable part, moves up and down. Along with that, the scanner unit 5 of the POS terminal device 4 attached to the top plate 3 also moves up and down at the same time, and the height can be adjusted according to the usage conditions for the product of the top plate 3 and the scanner terminal device 4.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the perspective view of FIG. As can be seen from FIG. 2, in addition to the first embodiment, a storage section 1A in which the POS terminal device 4 is embedded is provided in the center of the soccer table 1. The POS terminal device 4 includes a driving mechanism that moves up and down and a rotary driving mechanism that tilts back and forth around a base shaft provided on both side surfaces of the POS terminal device 4 itself inside the soccer table 1. This drive is performed by the elevating switches 8A and 8B and the tilt switches 7A and 7B of the operation unit 6. In this way, in addition to raising and lowering the top plate 3, an employee can appropriately move the scanner unit 5 of the POS terminal device 4 depending on the size of the product, the position of the bar code, and the like. When the POS terminal device 4 is used in the position of the first embodiment, a blind plate is placed in the opening of the top plate 3 for work.

[0007]

As described above, according to the present invention, the lifting mechanism is changed from the conventional rack-and-pinion mechanism to the hydraulic mechanism. Therefore, in addition to being strong against the dynamic load from above,
It has an effect that a large amount of human power is not required to move up and down. In addition, since the handle that is turned by hand is changed to a pedal that is stepped on by a foot, workability is improved. Further PO
By storing the S terminal device half in the soccer table and adding a mechanism for inclining the scanner unit, it is possible to eliminate the difficulty of work depending on the size of the product and the position of the barcode.
