Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Industrial Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a product data reader for a checkout system used in a retail store or the like.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 3, a stationary type scanner 32 having a reading window 31 formed on the front surface of a scanner main body 30 is conventionally installed on a horizontally long counter stand 33, and products are transferred from one side of the counter stand 33. In the process of passing the front surface of the reading window 31 and moving to the other side, the product data such as a product barcode is scanned 32.
There is a product data reading device which is designed to read by.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention On the other hand, at the time of reading, it is desirable that the product data is opposed to the reading window 31. However, since the scanner 32 is fixed and the position and orientation of the reading window 31 in the height direction are constant, the product data is displayed in front of the reading window 31 unless the bending angle of the arm holding the product is changed due to the height difference of the operator. Since the product data surface facing the reading window 31 cannot be faced and is directed vertically forward, the facing position of the product data with respect to the reading window 31 is difficult to see. Also, large bending of the arms means that the operator lifts the product high,
It takes effort.

Means for Solving the Problems A support body fixed to a horizontally long counter base, an elevating body attached to the support body so as to be vertically movable, a display unit attached to the elevating body, and an elevation body Keyboard, a scanning window formed on the front surface of the scanner body, and an outside surface rotatably attached to the elevating body with left and right axial centers, and a skiner fixing for fixing the skier to the elevating body. And a moving space for moving a product on the front side of the counter table in front of the reading window of the scanner body.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. Reference numeral 1 is a counter base, and a support 3 having square tubular portions 2 facing each other is fixed to the lower part of the counter base 1,
A pair of left and right lifting bodies 4 are fitted in the rectangular tube portions 2 so as to be able to move up and down. 5 is a scanjana, and the scanjana main body 6
A reading window 7 is formed on the front surface of the. Then, a boss (not shown) having an axial center in the left-right direction and rotatably fitted to each other is formed on the outer side surface of the scanner main body 6 and the inner side surface of the elevating body 4. Then, a tightening screw 8 which is a screwer fixing portion, which coincides with the axis of the boss, is passed through the elevating body 4, and a tip end portion of this tightening screw 8 is screwed to the scanner body 6. Further, a tightening screw 9 that is a lifting body fixing portion is screwed into the rectangular tube portion 2, and a plurality of recesses (not shown) that engage with the tips of these tightening screws 9 are provided on the side surface of the lifting body 4. It is formed at a predetermined interval in the vertical direction. Further, a keyboard 11 having a display unit 10 is attached to the upper end of the lifting body 4.

In such a configuration, a basket (not shown) in which the products 12 are stored is placed on the right side of the counter stand 1, and an empty basket is placed on the left side. Then, the product data such as the barcode of the product 12 is read by the scanner 5 in the process of passing the product 12 taken out from the right basket through the front surface of the reading window 7 and storing it in the left basket.

Prior to this reading operation, the tightening screw 9 is loosened to vertically slide the lifting / lowering body 4 together with the skiner 5, and the tightening screw 9 is tightened to fix the lifting / lowering body 4. It is adjusted according to the height of.
In addition, the tightening screw 8 is loosened to rotate the scanner main body 6 in the front-back direction, and the tightening screw 8 is tightened to fix the scanner main body 6, thereby making the product data slightly forward and upward. The direction of the scanner 5 is adjusted in the vertical direction so that the reading window 7 faces in parallel with the surface on which the mark is formed. Therefore, even if the operator changes, the product 1
When the 2 is opposed to the reading window 7, the bending of the arm can be adjusted to a desired angle, and the reading operation can be performed in a state in which the facing state of the product data with respect to the reading window 7 can be easily visually observed. It is possible to reduce the labor required for reading work and to reduce reading errors.

In the case of the product 12 in which the product data is not displayed, the data is input by the keyboard 11.

Effect of the Invention As described above, the present invention has a support body fixed to a horizontally long counter base, an elevating body attached to the support body so as to be movable up and down, a display unit attached to the elevating body, and the elevating body. A keyboard attached to the body, a scanning window formed on the front surface of the scanner body and having an outer surface having a left and right axial center, and a skiner rotatably attached to the elevator body, and the scanner is fixed to the elevator body. Since a moving space for moving goods is formed on the front side of the counter stand on the front side of the counter stand, the lift body is moved up and down with respect to the counter stand. Allows the height of the scanning window of the scan scanner, the display unit, and the keyboard to be set appropriately according to the operator's height and habit-based preference, and the angle of the scanning window surface of the scan scanner can be set on the support. Since it can be changed with respect to the scanning window, the direction of the scanning window of the scan scanner can be appropriately set according to the preference based on the height and habit of the operator, which improves the workability of barcode reading work and improves the operator's workability. It has the effect of reducing work load and fatigue.
