Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a product sales registration device used as a PO8 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 However, in such a device, the sheet 8
is issued from the front left side of the housing 1, but the issued receipt 8 is close to the operator, so it interferes with the operator.
There is a risk of damaging 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 that includes a product data reading device, a keyboard, a display section, and a receipt issuing printer, the receipt issuing printer and the display section are supported by a support to display the product data. A keyboard is arranged above the reading device and has frequently used operation keys arranged in front of the product data reading device, and the receipt issuing printer and the display section are arranged behind the product data reading device. A PLU keyboard was placed below the .

Additionally, a continuous protrusion was formed on the product data reading device side of the keyboard on the front side.

The receipt issued from the receipt issuing port does not interfere with the operator, thereby eliminating the risk of receipt damage, and since the receipt issuing printer is installed separately from the product data reading device, Only the product data reading device can be placed in the width direction of the housing, which reduces the distance for scanning products, reducing the burden on the operator and reducing scanning time. In addition, frequently used operation keys are placed on the front side, making keyboard operations easier, and the PLU keyboard, which is used less frequently, is placed below the receipt printer and display. This makes it possible to effectively utilize dead space.Furthermore, a continuous protrusion is formed on the product data reader side of the keyboard on the front side, so if water or objects are dropped during scanning, This makes it possible to waterproof the front keyboard and prevent malfunctions.

Example An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIG.

First, a drawer 11 is provided at the bottom of the casing 1o, a product data reading device 12 is provided at the center of the top of the casing 10, and a reading window 13 of the product data reading device 12 is provided facing upward. ing. Further, a reading confirmation lamp 14 is provided at the upper right of the reading window 13. This reading confirmation lamp 14 displays a blue color when data can be read, and changes to a red color when data is read to confirm that the data has been read.

Next, in front of the reading window 13 is a keyboard 15 on which a numeric keypad and other frequently used operation keys are arranged.
A bill and coin tray 16 is formed on the left side of the keyboard 15. Furthermore, the reading window 1
3, a PLU keyboard 17 is provided.

A continuous protrusion 15a is formed on the keyboard 15 on the product data reading device 12 side.

Two pillars 18 projecting upward are integrally provided at the rear upper part of the housing 1o, and a display section 19 for customers is provided on the right side of the upper part of the pillars 18, and a receipt is displayed on the left side. A publishing printer 20 is provided. A receipt issuing port 22 for issuing a receipt 21 of this receipt issuing printer 20 is located at the upper part of the front side. It is positioned so that it will not interfere with the That is, the receipt issuing port 22 is provided at a position that is higher than the reading window 13 by a predetermined height and deviated in the back direction by a predetermined dimension. Furthermore, the scanning area here refers to the area that is the sum of the readable area where the barcode of the label attached to the product can be read and the product movement area where the product can be moved from side to side.

The pillars 18 are formed relatively thin, and the space between these pillars 18, that is, the product data reading device 12 and the receipt issuing printer 20, is
A space portion 23 is formed between the display portion 19 and the display portion 19 . Furthermore, the PLU keyboard 17 is located below the receipt issuing printer 20 and the display section 19.

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 14 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 singly in the width direction of the housing 10, its width dimension is small, so that the scanning distance of the product is short, the burden on the operator is light, and the scanning time is also short. Then, when the registration for each customer is completed, the close key on the keyboard 15 is operated.

The product data is read in this way, and as a result, a receipt 21 is issued through the receipt issuing port 22. If this receipt 21 is of normal length, it will not interfere with the scanning area of the reading window 13 of the product data reading device 12, as described above, and will be located in a position where the operator will not interfere with it. ing. Therefore, there is no risk that the receipt 21 will be damaged by the operator.

Moreover, the position of the issued receipt 21 is such that the operator can easily take it.

In such operations, frequently used operation keys are located on the keyboard 15 on the front side, making it easy to perform the operations. Of course, the PLU keyboard 17 can also be used, but since the PLU keyboard 17 is used for products that cannot be read by the product data reading device 12, its use is infrequent. Therefore, even if it is located in a location that is somewhat difficult to use, there is no particular problem.

Furthermore, although water may drip from the product during use, the water is bypassed by the protrusion 15a and does not reach the keyboard 15, so the protrusion 15a has a waterproof effect. Further, even if the product falls, the probability that the product will hit the protrusion 15a and press an operation key on the keyboard 15 is reduced, so malfunctions are less likely to occur.

Therefore, in the case of face-to-face sales where the operator and the customer face each other, the customer can check the operator's keyboard operations and scanning operations from the space 23, thereby eliminating the feeling of anxiety. It is also possible to prevent fraud by the operator.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides a product sales registration device including a product data reading device, a keyboard, a display section, and a receipt issuing printer, in which the receipt issuing printer and the display section are supported by a support. a keyboard arranged above the product data reading device, a keyboard with frequently used operation keys arranged on the front side of the product data reading device, and a receipt issuing printer behind the product data reading device; Since the PLU keyboard is placed below the display unit, receipts issued from the receipt issuing port do not interfere with the operator.
There is no risk of damage to the receipt, and since the receipt issuing printer is installed separately from the product data reading device, only the product data reading device can be placed in the width direction of the casing. The scanning distance can be shortened, reducing the burden on the operator, and the scanning time can also be shortened.
In addition, the frequently used operation keys are placed on the front side, making keyboard operations easier, and the PLU keyboard, which is used less frequently, is placed below the Resinide printing printer and display. , dead space can be used effectively, and since a continuous protrusion is formed on the product data reading device side of the keyboard on the front side, when water or objects are dropped during scanning, the front side This has the effect of making the keyboard waterproof and preventing malfunctions.
