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, since the receipt issuing printer 7 is arranged in parallel next to the product data reading device 4, the main body of the device becomes wide, making it difficult to scan products with labels on which barcodes are printed. When storing the products in the basket, the products must be moved a large distance by the amount of the receipt issuing printer 7, which increases the burden on the operator and increases the scanning time.

Further, the upper surface of the product data reading device 4 on which the reading window is formed and the keyboard 6 are arranged at a certain angle, and although the inclination angle of the keyboard 6 is large, the product data reading device 4 is When water droplets fall on the top surface where the reading window is formed, the water droplets move toward the keyboard 6, and in some cases, there is a problem in that the water droplets may enter the interior.

Means for Solving the Problems A product data reading device with a reading window provided on the top surface of the housing is provided, a keyboard is arranged in front of the product data reading device, and a method is provided between the keyboard and the product data reading device. A continuous protrusion was formed.

Since the product data reading device is simply installed over the entire width of the operation casing, the distance for scanning products can be shortened, reducing the burden on the operator and reducing scanning time. In addition, the keyboard is located in front of the product data reader, making it easier to operate.
Since a continuous protrusion is formed between the keyboard and the product data reading device, it is possible to waterproof the keyboard and prevent malfunctions if water or objects are dropped during scanning. It is something.

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 10, 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 PLO 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 upper rear part of the housing 10, 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 tightener on the keyboard 15 is operated.

The product data is read in this way, and as a result, a receipt 21 is issued from 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 data reading device with a reading window arranged on the top surface of the housing, a keyboard is arranged on the front side of this product data reading device, and the keyboard and the product data reading device are arranged in front of the product data reading device. Since a continuous protrusion is formed between the housing and the device, the product data reading device is simply disposed over the entire width of the housing, making it possible to shorten the distance for scanning products. This reduces the burden on the operator and reduces scanning time.The keyboard is located in front of the product data reader, making it easier to operate. Since a continuous protrusion is formed between the keyboard and the reader, the keyboard can be made waterproof and prevent malfunctions if water or objects are dropped during scanning. have
