POS terminal device for both customer payment and customer payment {POS terminal device for both cashier and customer payment}

The present invention relates to a POS terminal device for customer payment, and more particularly, by freely switching between a general checkout counter function for settlement with the help of a cashier and a self-checkout counter function for direct settlement by the customer in place, It relates to a POS terminal device for customer payment that can be used by changing roles easily and quickly according to situations such as the presence or absence of a cashier or a cashier.

In general, a point-of-sales management system (POS) is a system that acquires product sales information using a computer and settles product prices to customers at product sales stores such as large or small markets and retail stores such as convenience stores.

In short, the POS system reads barcodes attached to products with a scanner, connects the POS terminal installed in the store to the host computer, and inputs sales information generated for each product at the same time as sales. On the other hand, it is a system that helps the settlement of sales products.

This POS system is mounted on the sales table where the customer puts the purchased product, and when the customer puts the purchased product on the store side, the cashier reads the barcode of each product through the scanner, and then move to the sales floor.

In addition, recently, in order to reduce the waiting time for customers at the sales counter and promote convenience, there is a case in which a so-called 'self-checkout counter' is separately provided where customers can read barcodes and pay by themselves.

Since the conventional POS terminal is fixed in only one direction, there is no choice but to introduce a general checkout counter and a self-checkout counter separately.

However, a store that uses a double checkout counter and a self-checkout counter like this is not burdensome to introduce in a large store with a large sales volume. It is practically difficult to introduce a separate self-checkout counter.

Also, even in large stores, on days or times when sales demand is low, it is possible to reduce the number of cashiers and seek ways to mainly use self-checkout counters. There is a problem that you have to install a lot.

A mounting table 130 may be installed on the calculation table 120 , and the mounting table 130 includes a keyboard 140 , a display for cashiers 150 , a display for customers 160 , a hand scanner 170 , and a payment card. A reader 180 or the like may be installed.

A built-in scanner 122 may be installed on the calculation table 120 in front of the mount 130 . In addition, the mounting table 130 may be provided with a slit for outputting a receipt or barcode. Accordingly, a control board for calculation and control may be built in the inside of the mounting table 130 or the calculation table 120 .

The display 150 for the cashier is installed on the mount 130 by the direction adjustment mechanism 152, and the direction it faces can be adjusted up, down, left, and right.

The customer display 160 is installed on the mount 130 by the direction adjustment mechanism 162, so that the up, down, left, right positions and directions can be adjusted.

The POS terminal 100 can be installed alone in a certain space of a store, and can be installed in combination with the sales stand 50 as in the embodiment shown in the drawings.

The sales table 50 includes a support 52 and a mounting table 54 . The support 52 supports the mounting table 54 . The piling table 54 is a part that the customer puts on for the calculation of the product he wants to purchase.

In general, a conveyor may be installed adjacent to the piling table 54 located on the store side, and the customer places the product to be purchased on the conveyor, and the product is transferred to the piling table 54 along the conveyor.

As shown in FIG. 2 , in the present invention, the POS terminal 100 is provided independently of the sales table 50 and is configured to be coupled to or separated from the sales table 50 .

To this end, in the sales stand 50 , a storage space 56 is formed in which the middle part is cut to fit the size of the housing 110 and the calculation table 120 of the POS terminal 100 . The POS terminal 100 pushes its housing 110 and the calculation table 120 into the storage space 56 to align it with the pedestal 54 in a line.

In addition, if necessary, the POS terminal 100 can be pulled out from the storage space 56 .

As such, in the present invention, the POS terminal 100 is manufactured independently of the sales stand 50 and is configured to be stored in or withdrawn from the storage space 56 of the sales stand 50, depending on the presence or absence of a conveyor or other standards. It can also be used in combination with the sales stand 50 having the shape of the . If any one POS terminal 100 in the store fails, the POS terminal 100 may be easily replaced with another normal POS terminal 100 for use.

Even if the POS terminal 100 according to the present invention is installed in combination on the sales stand 50, it is in the form of a general checkout counter for performing settlement with the help of a cashier by rotating the checkout table 120, or the customer performs the settlement directly. It is configured so that it can be converted (transformed) into a self-checkout form for

That is, it can be switched while installed in the sales stand 50 without using additional cost and space, depending on the situation, such as the number of customers in the store or the presence or absence of a cashier.

If the payment is performed by the cashier, the cashier will stand at a position facing the keyboard 140 and the cashier's display 150 . The passage through which the customer moves is provided on the side facing the rear of the mounting table 130 , the keyboard 140 , and the display 150 for the cashier.

Accordingly, in FIGS. 1 to 3 and 5, when a product is placed on the storage table 54 on the left side (the store side), the cashier picks up the product from the storage table 54 on the left and has a built-in type in front of her. After the barcode is read by the scanner 122 or the barcode is read by the hand scanner 170, it will be sent to the mounting table 54 on the right (exit side).

1 to 5 , the customer display 160 is shown facing the store side, but this is intentionally directed toward the store side in order to avoid the complexity of the drawing. In fact, the customer display 160 is adjusted in the direction toward the exit side, where the customer waits for payment and takes the product for which the calculation has been completed (the direction to the right in FIGS. 1 to 3 and 5) .

In the present invention, with the calculation table 120 installed on the sales stand 50, by rotating the calculation table 120 in the opposite direction to the state shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the customer can pay directly without a cashier. The role can be switched in the form of a self-checkout counter.

To this end, the present invention is a role switching mechanism of the calculation table 120, and the lifting and lowering driving mechanism 300 for driving the calculation table 120 to the rising position and the lowering position and rotating the calculation table 120 in opposite directions. and a rotation guide mechanism 410 for

It will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 6 to 10 .

6 is a perspective view showing the entire role switching mechanism, FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a state in which the calculation table 120 is raised, and FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a state in which the calculation table 120 is rotated. 9 is a plan view of main parts for explaining the rotation connection structure of the calculation table, and FIG. 10 is a view viewed from the 'I' direction of FIG.

For convenience of description, the rotation guide mechanism 410 will be described.

The rotation guide mechanism 410 includes an upper support plate 340 disposed on the upper portion of the housing 110 .

Calculation table 120 is installed while its rotation center is rotatably seated on the upper support plate 340 by the central axis 412 .

For the calculation table 120, which is generally manufactured separately, instead of directly seating the calculation table 120 on the upper support plate 340, the turn table 400 is rotatably seated on the upper support plate 340, and the It is advantageous in manufacturing to fix the calculation table 120 to the upper support plate 340 .

Accordingly, in this case, the turn table 400 may be the bottom surface of the calculation table 120 which is a part of the body of the calculation table 120 .

The turn table 400 is rotatably seated on the upper support plate 340 by the central axis 412 at its rotational center. Since the turn table 400 is integral with the calculation table 120 , the turn table 400 and the calculation table 120 always move together.

In order to smoothly guide the rotational operation of the turntable 400, as shown in detail in FIGS. 9 to 10, the upper support plate 340 has a circular arc-shaped rotation guide groove with the central axis 412 as the radius center ( 414) is formed, and a rotation guide shaft 416 is provided at the lower end of the turntable 400 .

The rotation guide shaft 416 is slidably inserted into the rotation guide groove 414 . Accordingly, the rotation guide shaft 416 rotates along with the rotation of the turn table 400 and slides in the rotation guide groove 414 , thereby stably rotating the turn table 400 .

The rotation guide groove 414 is formed with a length at which the central axis 412 can be rotated by an angle of 180 degrees. Therefore, the rotation guide groove 414 also serves as a so-called 'stopper' to guide the rotation of the central shaft 412 and to rotate only within the 180 degree angle range of the central shaft 412 .

The lifting and lowering driving mechanism 300 drives the upper support plate 340 to a raised position and a lowered position with respect to the housing 110 .

The 'raised position' refers to a position where the calculation table 120 is in a rotatable state out of the mounting table 54 of the sales table 50, and the 'lowered position' refers to a position where the calculation table 120 descends all the way down to the stacking table. It refers to the position that is normally aligned with (54).

The lift driving mechanism 300 is connected to the upper support plate 340 . Accordingly, the upper support plate 340 is moved to the ascending position by operating the lifting drive mechanism 300 in the ascending direction, and the upper support plate 340 is moved to the descending position by operating in the descending direction.

The lifting drive mechanism 300 is screwed to a drive source 310 installed in the housing 110, a screw shaft 322 rotationally driven by the drive source 310, and a screw shaft 322, and one end of the upper support plate is and a ball nut 324 secured to 340 .

The driving source 310 may be configured as a motor. In this case, the screw shaft 322 rotates in the forward and reverse directions by the forward and reverse rotation of the driving source 310 which is a motor.

The ball nut 324 rises and falls by the forward and reverse rotation of the screw shaft 322, and the upper support plate 340 rises and falls accordingly.

For the operation of the lift driving mechanism 300 , an up-down switch 112 is installed in the housing 110 . The up-down switch 112 may include an up switch and a down switch, and the lift driving mechanism 300 operates only while the respective switches are pressed.

In the example shown in the drawings, the elevating drive mechanism 300 exemplifies a ball screw mechanism including a screw shaft 322 and a ball nut 324 , but is not limited thereto. For example, various mechanisms may be employed as needed, such as a mechanism for performing a linear lifting/lowering motion by connecting several links, or a mechanism for performing a linear lifting/lowering motion using a motor and a gear mechanism.

In the present invention, a lifting guide mechanism 330 may be further provided. The elevating guide mechanism 330 serves to guide the elevating operation by the elevating driving mechanism 300 stably.

The lifting guide mechanism 330 includes a fixed plate 500 fixed to the lower part of the housing 110, an intermediate movable plate 600 that is freely arranged in elevation by maintaining a gap on the upper portion of the fixed plate 500, and an intermediate movable plate 600. and a slide bush 332 connecting the upper support plate 340 and a slide rod 334 protruding from the fixing plate 500 to be slidably slidable in the axial direction to the screw shaft 322 and slidably coupled in a hole manner. can be configured including

The fixing plate 500 may be installed on the upper portion of the driving source 310 , and in this case, the screw shaft 322 freely passes through the fixing plate 500 .

The screw shaft 322 also freely passes through the intermediate movable plate 600 and is coupled to the ball nut 324 .

Both ends of the slide bush 332 are fixed to the upper support plate 340 and the middle movable plate 600 .

One end of the slide rod 334 is fixed to the fixing plate 500 , and the opposite end is slidably coupled to the slide bush 332 in a shaft-hole manner.

When the upper support plate 340 is moved by the rotation of the screw shaft 322 , the slide bush 332 and the intermediate movable plate 600 connected to the upper support plate 340 move together integrally, and the movement is the slide It is guided by a rod 334 .

As such, in the example shown in the drawings, the elevating driving mechanism 300 is illustrated and described as consisting of a slide bush 332 and a slide rod 334, but is not limited thereto. For example, various guide mechanisms, such as a well-known linear motion guide mechanism (LM GUIDE), are employable as needed.

An operation of rotating the calculation table 120 in the opposite direction will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8 .

6 shows a state in which the calculation table 120 is in a lowered position, that is, in a position normally aligned with the storage table 54 of the sales table 50 .

In this state, the up-switch of the up-down switch 112 is pressed in order to raise the calculation table 120 to a raised position, that is, to a position where it is rotatable out of the mounting table 54 .

Then, as shown in FIG. 7 , the driving source 310 of the elevating drive mechanism 300 rotates in the forward direction to rotate the screw shaft 322 in the forward direction.

The ball nut 324 rises according to the forward rotation of the screw shaft 322 . Since the ball nut 324 is non-rotatably fixed to the upper support plate 340 while being screwed to the screw shaft 322 , it rises by the rotation of the ball nut 324 to raise the upper support plate 340 .

The turn table 400 is raised by the rise of the upper support plate 340 , and the calculation table 120 mounted and fixed on the turn table 400 and all elements (calculation table 120 ) mounted on the calculation table 120 . The distance display 150 and the customer display 160) rise together.

In this way, when the calculation table 120 rises to the rising position, the calculation table 120 is out to a position higher than the height of the mounting table 54, and even if the turn table 400 and the calculation table 120 are rotated, the mounting table 120 is rotated. (54) is in a state not to be caught.

When the turn table 400 and the calculation table 120 rise to the rising position, as shown in FIG. 8 , the calculation table 120 is held and rotated.

When the calculation table 120 is rotated, the turn table 400 to which the calculation table 120 is fixed also rotates.

The turn table 400 rotates about a central axis 412 . At this time, the rotation guide shaft 416 provided in the turn table 400 rotates together, and the rotation guide shaft 416 rotates smoothly as it slides within the rotation guide groove 414 of the upper support plate 340 . are guided to

When the turn table 400 and the calculation table 120 rotate at an angle of 180 degrees, the rotation guide shaft 416 is moved to the opposite end of the rotation guide groove 414, and thus the turn table 400 and the calculation table (120) becomes a state rotated 180 degrees in the opposite direction.

As such, even when the POS terminal 100 is installed in combination with the sales stand 50 , the checkout table 120 can be rotated in the opposite direction in place without moving the position of the POS terminal 100 . Role switching can be performed quickly and easily.

If the POS terminal 100 is used alone without being combined with the sales stand 50, or even when used in combination with the sales stand 50, even if the POS terminal 100 is moved even a little, the rotation of the calculation table 120 is blocked. When interference from objects can be avoided, the role of the checkout counter can be switched only by rotating the calculation table 120 without raising it.

For example, when the POS terminal 100 is used alone without being combined with the sales table 50 , rotation is performed only by holding and rotating the calculation table 120 .

Also, for example, although the POS terminal 100 is used in combination with the sales stand 50, the pedestal 54 of the sales pedestal 50 is only on either the store side or the exit side, so that the POS terminal 100 is placed on the pedestal ( 54) Even if there is an extra space to move slightly to the opposite side, the rotation is performed by holding the calculation table 120 and rotating it.

Accordingly, in this case, it is possible to rotate the calculation table 120 in the opposite direction without operating the lift driving mechanism 300 . Therefore, when the POS terminal 100 is permanently used alone or in combination with the sales table 50, the calculation table 120 can be rotated without interference. ) may be excluded.

Next, with reference to FIG. 11 , a process of converting the POS terminal 100 from the general checkout counter role to the self checkout counter role will be described in more detail. Reference numerals of components omitted in FIG. 11 refer to FIGS. 1 to 10 side by side.

11 , in step #1, the cashier will stand in a position facing the cashier display 150 and the keyboard 140 . At this time, the built-in scanner 122 of the calculation table 120 is located right in front of the cashier, and through the built-in scanner 122 part, between the storage table 54 on the store side and the storage table 54 on the exit side are mutually This will allow the cashier to recognize the barcode and move it while pushing the product sideways.

In addition, the customer can move through the passage provided on the side facing the rear of the mounting table 130 , the keyboard 140 , and the cashier display 150 .

In this way, if the customer wants to switch from the normal checkout state, where payment is made with the help of the cashier, to the self-checkout state (step #6) for direct settlement, the checkout table 120 is raised to the rising position as in step #2. . The lifting operation of the calculation table 120 is performed by the lifting driving mechanism 300 described above.

When the calculation table 120 is moved to the raised position, the calculation table 120 is located at a higher position than the mounting table 54 and is in a state in which it can be rotated without being interfered with by the mounting table 54 .

Next, as in step #3, the calculation table 120 is held and rotated. The rotation operation of the calculation table 120 is performed by the guidance of the rotation guide mechanism 410 described above.

When the calculation table 120 is completely rotated in the opposite direction (direction of the customer passage) (the state rotated at an angle of about 180 degrees), the rotation guide shaft 416 of the rotation guide mechanism 410 is the rotation guide groove 414 . It's time to move to the other end and stop.

When the checkout table 120 is rotated in the opposite direction, the keyboard 140 and the cashier display 150 face the customer aisle.

As in step #4, in a state in which the calculation table 120 is rotated to face the customer passage direction, the calculation table 120 is lowered again.

The lowering operation of the calculation table 120 is performed by the elevating driving mechanism 300 described above.

As the calculation table 120 descends, the calculation table 120 re-enters the storage space 56 provided in the sales stand 50, and stops at the lowering position as in step #5.

Then, as in step #6, the position and orientation of the customer display 160 are adjusted to face the customer aisle direction. The display 150 for the cashier may also be further adjusted in a direction that is convenient for the customer to use.

The position and direction adjustment of the cashier display 150 and the customer display 160 can be easily adjusted through the direction adjustment mechanism 152 and the direction adjustment mechanism 162 , respectively.

As in step #6, when all the elements mounted on the checkout table 120, such as the cashier display 150, the customer display 160, the checkout table 120, and the keyboard 140, face the customer aisle, the self-checkout counter state conversion is complete.

When converted to the self-checkout state in this way, the customer displays the cashier display 150 and the customer display 160, the keyboard 140, the built-in scanner 122, the hand scanner 170, and the payment card reader ( 180) can be used face-to-face.

As described above, in the POS terminal device for customer payment of the present invention, the POS terminal 100 is manufactured independently of the sales stand 50 and is configured to be stored in or withdrawn from the storage space 56 of the sales stand 50 . , according to the presence or absence of the conveyor, or can be used in combination with the sales stand 50 having a different size or shape. In addition, even if any one POS terminal 100 in the store fails, it can be easily replaced with another normal POS terminal 100 for use.

In addition, in the POS terminal device for customer payment of the present invention, when the POS terminal 100 is installed in combination with the sales stand 50, the POS terminal 100 is installed in place without moving the POS terminal 100 or other objects.
