Description

The utility model relates to the field of computer technology, namely, cash register equipment designed to carry out settlements (in cash and non-cash mode), perform cash transactions, record, control and register information on cash transactions, as well as transfer fiscal data to the Federal Tax Service. service, both in standalone mode and in conjunction with additional plug-ins, functioning as a complex of devices with advanced capabilities.

A device related to cash registers (cash registers) with the function of transmitting information to the tax authorities through a fiscal data operator in the absence of a stable Internet communication channel in cash registers is known (patent RU 182704, publ. 28.08.2018). The cash register contains a single housing, inside which is located and reinforced power source with the ability to connect an external power supply; the power supply is connected to the communication module, to the input-output device, to the fiscal drive and to the central processor with a real-time clock, which, in turn, is connected to the memory unit with feedback, to the printing device with feedback and to the display unit, and at the same time, a keyboard and a backup battery are connected to the central processor with a real-time clock, while the central processor with a real-time clock is also connected with feedback to the fiscal drive, and the communication modules are connected to antennas, and the central processor with a real-time clock is also connected to feedback with communication modules and input-output device. The input-output device is RS, USB, Ethernet and is configured to connect to the OFD fiscal data operator's servers and external devices.

A fiscal acquiring registrar is known (patent RU 2735855, published on 11/09/2020), which includes a stationary service tool and at least one mobile communicator, each of which contains a keyboard for entering data, a screen for displaying data, a card reader, a mobile phone transceiver. communication, a microprocessor with memory and a power supply, the microprocessor being programmed to perform the following functions with the help of the respective mentioned elements through the user interface: receiving and storing data on delivery orders, entering and displaying data, reading cards, exchanging data with the mentioned stationary service tool, providing the customer with information about the payment made for the delivered order; at the same time, the stationary service tool contains a fiscal storage device, a wireless communication transceiver, a processor connected to the mentioned fiscal storage device and a wireless communication transceiver and programmed to perform the following functions using them: data exchange with each of the mentioned mobile communicators, fixing information about the payments made for orders.

Known analogue devices can be connected to external devices. However, such pairing cannot ensure the functioning of the connected devices as a mobile complex, since the USB connector only allows data transfer (for example, archived data) when connected to such devices and charging the battery pack. This causes limited functionality of the device.

The closest in technical essence is a device that is an online cash register (ATOL Company website, https://www.atol.ru/catalog/atol-30f/). The device includes a case, inside of which there is a printer unit with a receipt tape, a wireless data transmission module (2G / 3G, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi) and a power supply. The case is equipped with a USB connector through which integration with the cashier's personal computer is carried out.

However, the connector used in the device selected as a prototype cannot be used to organize active mobile joint work with additionally connected devices. This is due to the fact that the connector is made in the USB standard, which, as you know, is characterized by relatively small dimensions, which does not allow for a reliable hard connection with connected additional devices. In addition, the USB standard does not allow implementing such functions as, for example, power management of the modules included in the device (for example, the printer unit), transmission of control signals to the corresponding processor ports.

The technical problem is the creation of mobile cash registers (hereinafter referred to as CCPs), which provide reliable articulation with additional devices (for example, with a mobile terminal).

The technical result consists in increasing the rigidity and density of the connection of the mobile CCP with auxiliary devices.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that in a mobile CCP, including a housing with a connector, a printing device located inside the housing, according to the utility model, partitions are made in the internal cavity of the connector, forming blocks, and each contact of the connector is located in a separate block.

In private embodiments of the utility model, the pads can be provided with guide elements and/or the connector can be made 20-40 mm wide, 10-15 mm high and 9-15 mm deep and/or the CCP body can be made with a protrusion, while the connector may be located on the specified ledge.

The execution of partitions in the internal cavity in such a way that they form pads (i.e., elements whose depth is significantly greater than their width and height), each of which has one contact, causes the largest mating area with the mating part of the connected auxiliary device, which causes increasing the rigidity and density of the connection of the mobile CCP with auxiliary devices.

Private options for the implementation of mobile CCP additionally contribute to the achievement of the claimed technical result. So the supply of pads with guide elements (keys) allows, on the one hand, to further increase the area of mating surfaces and, consequently, to increase the degree of rigidity of the connection, and on the other hand, to guarantee the correct orientation of the counterpart, without distortions and mechanical stress on the contacts. The stated ranges of linear dimensions of the connector provide the most optimal aspect ratio of the connector, which also contributes to an increase in the level of connection rigidity. Provision of the CCP case with a protrusion provides an additional support surface for the connected auxiliary device, which also further increases the degree of rigidity and tightness of the connection.

The claimed utility model is illustrated by drawings, where in Fig. 1 shows a general view of a mobile CCP (view from the side of the connector), in Fig. 2 - connector, in Fig. 3 shows the device with the battery pack connected, FIG. 4 shows a device with a connected mobile terminal, FIG. 5 - device with connected keyboard.

A mobile cash register is a device for making cash and/or non-cash payments, performing cash transactions, recording, controlling and registering information on cash transactions in RAM, in a fiscal drive, on printed documents and in electronic documents (cash receipts and reports), as well as for the transfer of fiscal data to the Federal Tax Service.

The mobile cash register includes a housing 1, inside which there is a control module (not shown in the figure), and an interface board to which the fiscal drive is connected (not shown in the figure). The fiscal accumulator records and stores documents for the subsequent transfer of fiscal data to the Federal Tax Service through a fiscal data operator.

In the upper part of the body 1 there is a printer unit 2. The printer unit 2 is a printer with a compartment for a receipt tape and a comb for tearing off the receipt tape. The receipt tape compartment is equipped with an opening cover for quick replacement of the receipt tape.

On the body 1 there are LEDs for power supply 3, device status and communication status 4 with the fiscal data operator. KKT can also be equipped with a programmable function button 5.

Connector 6 is located on one of the surfaces of the housing, partitions are made in the inner cavity of the connector, forming blocks 7, and each contact of the connector is located in a separate block (Fig. 2, 3). Connector 6 allows you to send control signals to the corresponding processor port. The partitions are made of dielectric material. As additional connected devices, there can be those that have an appropriate reciprocal connector, for example, a multifunctional mobile terminal with a display, a mobile keyboard, a battery pack. Connecting additional devices turns the claimed mobile CCP into a software and hardware complex with advanced capabilities.

For ease of orientation of the mating part and increasing the area of the mating surfaces, the pads 7 can be equipped with guide elements 8 (Fig. 2), made, for example, in the form of curly protrusions or grooves on the surfaces of the pads, mirror corresponding to the grooves and protrusions on the mating part of the additional device connector.

Preferably, the connector 6 is relatively flat and deep, thereby providing the most rigid and tight connection. The most optimal are the following connector parameters: width 20-40 mm, height 10-15 mm and depth 9-15 mm. The specified ranges do not limit the possibility of using connectors with other sizes, they determine the general proportions, the configuration of the connector to ensure a rigid connection, and depend on the weight and size parameters of the most mobile CCP and connected devices.

The housing 1 can be made of a complex shape with the formation of a protrusion 9, which provides an additional support surface for the connected additional device. When the device is operated in a stationary mode (without additional devices connected via connector 6), connector 6 can be closed with a removable plug (not shown in Fig.) or a removable battery pack (Fig. 3) or used with an open connector. At the same time, the cash register is integrated with the cashier's personal computer (or other stationary device) by means of:

- cable connection via USB-connector, made on the battery pack;

- cable connection using an adapter (in case of operation with an open connector 6), one end of which is a counterpart for connector 6, and the other end is a counterpart for the connector of the connected device;

- wireless connection via WiFi/Bluetooth module.

The declared mobile cash register was included in the register of cash registers in accordance with the order of the Federal Tax Service of Russia No. AB-7-20/605@ dated 08.26.2020.

The device can be equipped with additional functional modules, such as:

2D scanner (not shown in the figure) for scanning two-dimensional codes (for example, on tickets purchased in advance), bar codes (for example, on goods), as well as user identification (cashier) before starting a session with a cash register;

a WiFi/Bluetooth module (not shown in the figure) with antennas for wireless data exchange with mobile or stationary devices (POS terminal, smartphone, tablet, vehicle validator, QR code display device, etc.).

The device works as follows.

CCP can be used stationary (mains powered or battery powered) or mobile (powered by a battery or power supply of a device connected to it). In the case of stationary operation, the cash register is connected via a cable to the cashier's computer, the software of which allows the device to function as intended. In the case of mobile use, a battery pack (Fig. 3) or additional functional equipment is connected to the CCP, for example, a multifunctional terminal with a display (Fig. 4) or a mobile keyboard (Fig. 5). Payment is made using the specified connected devices (personal computer of the cashier / multifunctional terminal or keyboard), while the printer prints the check, and the fiscal drive records and stores the necessary data, which is then sent to the fiscal data operator for subsequent transfer to the Federal Tax Service. This allows you to turn CCP into a software and hardware complex with advanced capabilities.

Thus, the claimed utility model provides for the creation of mobile cash register equipment that guarantees reliable articulation with additional devices by increasing the rigidity and tightness of the CCP connection with such devices.
