Checkout counters types. Checkout counters. Service of checkout counters

The selection of checkout counters is carried out according to a certain scheme. For small shops - 1 box for 80-100 sq. area, for medium stores - 1 checkout box for 150 sq. m., and for large ones for 150-200 sq. m. In addition to the size of the trading area, the number of boxes is affected by traffic peaks, if any, or the speed of the cashier. The latter depends on the technical equipment of the automation of the cash register, its correspondence to the format of the store and the skills of the cashier. For fast service buyers with piece purchases use express checkouts. This creates great convenience for buyers and saves time spent in the calculation.

What affects the speed of customer service?

How quickly the settlement will take place directly depends on the equipment of the cashier's workplace. It is worth noting the influence of the content of the POS terminal device and the scanning system on the checkout box device. There are vertical, horizontal (built-in) and manual product scanners. More optimal multi-plane scanners. They are built into the work surface of the cash register. To read the code, the cashier simply sweeps the item over the scanner. The choice of a scanner must be approached consciously and thoroughly.

Similarly, weighing equipment can be built into the working surface of the table. Recently, this popular solution has been gaining leading positions in the sale of such bulk goods as sweets, fruits, vegetables. When the scales are located at the checkout, you save space in trading floor and there is no longer a need to additionally assign a person to them. Buyers get pretty nervous when they have to wait for a "special" person to hang the product. The scales located at the checkout initiate an increase in the purchase. Although from the financial point of view, the one-time costs of equipping all checkout counters with built-in scales can be expensive. In principle, the "fruits and vegetables" section can be equipped with a scale with a receipt printing device with product pictures. This option likes to use the sales network "Bill".

An important point is the landing of the cashier. It can be frontal or lateral. In frontal landing, the cashier sits facing the customer, while the cash drawer is built into the work surface right in front of the cashier. Side seating assumes the location of the cash drawer on the side table. At the same time, the cashier sits sideways to the customers and has to turn around every time the cash drawer is opened. More unnecessary movements are made, while the efficiency of the service decreases.

The invention relates to commercial equipment and can be used in various stores, such as supermarkets and hypermarkets, and in other similar commercial self-service establishments.

Known cash box, containing a table top, equipped with three zones, located in accordance with the order of movement of the purchased goods. The first zone is used for displaying goods by the buyer and, as a rule, contains a conveyor, the second zone is used to pay for the goods, and the third zone is intended for packing the paid goods into packages. The table top is installed on racks and other supporting elements that serve as holders for the cash register control panel and drawers used by the cashier. The table top is bounded around the perimeter by a closed supporting frame made of aluminum or hard plastic and divided into component parts of a given length (EP 2194820, A47F 9/04, 2011).

The disadvantages of this checkout box are limited use, the presence of numerous holders around the box for various items, the absence of pedestals in which the necessary items could be placed. In addition, there are disadvantages such as the complexity of manufacture and assembly, including the manufacture and assembly of the frame. The complexity of assembly, as a rule, negatively affects such a necessary quality of actively operated equipment as maintainability, since the production of repairs, replacement of parts usually requires at least partial dismantling of the equipment.

There is a known cash box containing a box-shaped commodity chamber with a side, on which an upper horizontal polymer bump is fixed, consisting of a display table and a storage device connected in series, installed on vertical hollow box-shaped bases containing corner elements and lower bumpers, a tabletop located at the side of the camera for cash register... The lower polymer bumpers are convex and contain internal longitudinal air cavities. The specified cash register contains a control panel for calling a service engineer, alarm and emergency shutdown (RU 93244 U1, A47F 9/02, 2009).

A disadvantage of the known checkout box is that when using a checkout box of the type described, many difficulties arise from the point of view of their production and / or assembly. Currently, production takes place on a case-by-case basis according to the customer's specification on a separate production line, and this increases the cost and production time of the checkout counter due to numerous requests for the manufacture of checkout boxes in accordance with the individual requirements of the client.

In addition, at present, the assembly of a checkout box requires the involvement of a qualified technician with specialized knowledge and a specific set of tools. This is inconvenient when you need to equip a new store or re-equip an existing one inexpensively and in the shortest possible time.

The closest analogue of the claimed checkout box is a checkout box containing a tabletop with sequentially located on it a product display area having a conveyor, a barcode reading area with a product and a product storage area, while the tabletop is installed on supporting pedestals, one of which is designed to be placed on her cash register. The table top is fixed on the supporting pedestals by means of a device made in the form of a frame made by welding a rectangular profile. The table top is also equipped with a protective device - a bump stop located along its perimeter (RU 51841 U1, A47F 10/00, 2005).

The known checkout box can be delivered to the store unassembled, which simplifies the delivery of commercial equipment, and the assembly process can be carried out directly in the store.

The disadvantages of the known box are the complexity and laboriousness of the assembly of this checkout box. This is mainly due to the use of a massive welded frame, on which the tabletop is fixed, after which the frame is installed on the pedestals and fixed to the pedestals. The large dimensions of the frame, as well as its weight, additionally increase the laboriousness of the assembly process of this checkout box. In addition, it is not possible to modify and assemble checkout counters of various sizes, because in each case, it is necessary to make a frame of a given size. Dismantling and repairing the box turns out to be extremely difficult.

It should be noted that during the production and / or assembly of checkout counters of the described type, a large number of problems arise due to the fact that, on the one hand, such devices have high demand, which determines the requirement of versatility, which is necessary in the production of any equipment in large quantities. On the other hand, the client often makes individual requirements for the checkout box, namely, he wants the listed zones to be of a certain shape, color, size, depending on the customer's requests.

As a result, due to the numerous requests for custom-made checkout boxes, the production now takes place in each case according to the customer's specification on a separate production line. Obviously, this affects the cost and production time of the box.

In addition, at present, to assemble a checkout box, it is necessary to involve a technician with specialized knowledge and a certain set of tools. This is inconvenient when you need to quickly equip a new store or re-equip an existing one inexpensively and in the shortest possible time.

Thus, the need arose for new universal design solutions that would make it possible to quickly and inexpensively mount a checkout box using standard components, adapted to the individual requirements of the customer. Moreover, it should be a design that is easier to assemble, which requires fewer tools and less qualified technical personnel.

The technical objective of the claimed invention is to simplify the assembly of the checkout box at the workplace without the involvement of qualified personnel and to reduce the time of its assembly.

The technical result of the invention is to simplify the design of the checkout box, which facilitates the assembly of the checkout box, and the ability to assemble the box in accordance with the individual requirements of the client.

The technical result is provided by the fact that in the checkout box, containing a tabletop with sequentially located on it a product display area with a conveyor, a scanner area for reading a product barcode and a product storage area, two support pedestals, one of which is configured to accommodate a cash register on it, a device for fixing the tabletop to the pedestals and bumpers, the device for fixing the tabletop to the pedestals is made in the form of profiles with a C-shaped cross-section, and the upper part of each profile forms a board, and the lower part of the C-shaped profile has a base, while the outer side of each C -shaped profile in the middle part has a groove for fixing a bumper in it, and on the inside, the C-shaped profile has a stepped-shaped recess under the board and four successively located grooves, which, depending on the place of installation of the C-shaped profile, serve to accommodate fasteners or technical means zones of the conveyor or zone of the scanner for reading the barcode, or the storage area of the cash register, each C-shaped profile is made with internal cavities located along its entire length, and the profiles are installed on the outer and inner sides of the tabletop, the end sides of which are equipped with protective end elements.

In addition, in the checkout box, in the first groove of the C-shaped profile installed in the conveyor zone, there is a support frame of the conveyor with a support installed on a stepped recess, in the second groove, a belt tension system is installed, while the frame is equipped with a protrusion that is groove, which has a locking vertical protrusion.

In addition, in the checkout box in the fourth groove, the folded edge of the lower cover panel of the conveyor is fixed.

In addition, in the checkout counter, the barcode scanner is secured in the first and fourth grooves of the C-profile by means of threaded fasteners.

In addition, in the checkout box, in the area of the drive, in the first groove of the C-shaped profile, the upper bend of the drive is located.

In addition, in the checkout box, the profile edge has a trapezoidal shape.

In addition, in the checkout box, recesses are made on the side walls of the board for fixing various accessories.

In addition, the recesses are made in the form of grooves located horizontally and parallel to each other.

In addition, in the checkout box in the upper corner of the first groove of the C-shaped profile and in the partition separating the fourth groove from the corresponding cavity - from the side of the cavity, additional recesses are made for attaching the end elements to the C-shaped profile.

In addition, in the checkout box, the support pedestals are made in the form of boxes, and their open parts face each other.

In the particular case of execution in the checkout box, the pedestals are equipped with shelves or drawers for the convenience of the cashier.

The essence of the invention is illustrated by drawings, where

The above drawings show a cash box according to the invention, which has a horizontal extension from the end of the conveyor to the end of the storage device, the location of which is determined by the direction of movement of the goods in the store (usually a supermarket or hypermarket).

The checkout box contains a tabletop 1, on which the conveyor zone 1a, which starts from the front end and goes into the scanner zone 1b, and the storage area 1c, which ends in the rear end of the checkout box, are located in a horizontal sequence (see Fig. 1). Table top 1 is supported by support 2, consisting of two pedestals 20 and 21, located near the front and rear ends of the checkout box. Drawers 20 and 21 are made in the form of boxes with cavities located opposite each other, which can be supplemented with racks or drawers for the convenience of the cashier. The cashier is located in the space between the pedestals 20, 21 (in the same place where the scanner zone 1b is located), where there is space for a chair or a cashier's chair.

Cabinet 20 is only partially occupied by the table top 1. The conveyor 10, having a smaller width than the rest of the table top 1, leaves space on the cabinet 20 for placing a cash register (not shown) and other standard electronic payment equipment, such as terminals for bank payments. cards on a magnetic base or on microchips (not shown in the drawing).

According to the invention, profiles 3 (3 ", 3", 3 "") are installed on the horizontal side surfaces of the countertop 1 (see Fig. 1), which have the shape of the letter "C" in cross-section (in a plane perpendicular to the X-axis). Profiles 3, attached to the curbstones 20, 21, constitute a load-bearing support for the tabletop 1.

From the cashier's side, two profiles 3 "and 3" are installed along the conveyor 1a and storage 1c, respectively. On the opposite side, that is, from the buyer's side, one profile 3 "" is provided along the entire length of the table top 1.

The cross-section of the profile 3, shown in detail in Fig. 6, has the shape of the letter "C" with the inner side 34 facing the inner side of the table top 1 and the outer side 31. The profiles 3 have a mirror arrangement on the table top 1. According to the invention, on both sides countertop 1 uses the same type of profile 3, which allows it to be universally used during assembly.

The profile 3 has a flat bottom base 30 provided with a groove 30a for fixing it to the support pedestals 20, 21 by placing threaded connections 30b in the groove 30a, schematically shown in FIG. 3. These connections, in addition to direct attachment of the profile 3 to the pedestals 20, 21, can be used in areas not in contact with the support pedestals 20, 21 for attaching accessories at the individual request of the client, such as bag holders (not shown in the drawings).

The outer surface 31 of the profile 3, that is, the surface on the side of the customer or the cashier, has a slightly convex shape and in its middle part has a groove 31a of a rectangular shape for fixing the bumper 31b therein. Fenders 31b are usually made of plastic in different colors depending on the customer's requirements.

The upper part of the profile 3, located on the opposite side from the lower base 30, is a trapezoidal bead 32. On the inclined sides 32c of the bead, recesses 32a are made, with the help of which various accessories 32b are installed on the bead 32, such as, for example, holders for a device for entering a PIN code or, as shown in Fig. 1, supports for attaching a transparent plastic partition between the customer. and the cashier, etc. Most often, such attachment of accessories is placed on the profile 3 "" from the customer's side in the area of the scanner 1b. The recesses 32a are made in the form of grooves located on the side walls 32c of the bead. The corresponding protruding parts of the desired accessory are inserted into the recesses 32a board 32 from above.

Under the bead 32 on the inner side 34 of the profile 3 there are four slots: the first upper 35, the second slot 36, the third slot 37 and the fourth slot 38 (Fig. 6), sequentially located from top to bottom with a cross-section in the form of a quadrangle. These grooves serve to accommodate threaded fasteners or working units of the countertop 1 of the checkout box, which will be discussed below.

The vertical length of the inner side 34 of the profile 3 starts from the stepped recess 33 formed between the flange 32 and the innermost side 34. The height of the inner side 34 of the profile in practice determines the space available for the placement of the mentioned working elements, namely the conveyor belt 10 of the conveyor zone 1a, the scanner for reading the barcode 11 in the zone 1b and the drive 12 in the third zone 1c of the packaging of the paid goods.

Fig. 3 and Fig. 3a show in cross-section the area of the conveyor 1a. This area is provided with a conveyor belt 10 stretched in the form of a ring between the rollers 10c along the horizontal axis of rotation. In order to maintain the tension of the conveyor belt 10, tensioning systems of a conventional type are used (not shown in detail in the drawings). They are placed inside the tape and are fastened in a second groove 36, which is larger than the other three grooves. A support frame 10a for a conveyor belt 10 of a conventional shape having a projection 10a "is mounted on the inner side 34 of the profile 3 and on a stepped recess 33, and the projection 10a" is inserted into a groove 37. The groove 37 has a projection 37a vertically installed parallel to the inner part profile 34, which partially covers the opening of the groove 37 to prevent accidental displacement of the protrusion 10a "of the conveyor frame 10a.

The groove 38 serves to accommodate the folded edge 10b "of the lower conveyor cover 10b, as well as to insert threaded fasteners to secure the scanner.

FIGS. 5a and 5b show a product barcode scanner support 13 that defines a central countertop area and provides a location 13a for mounting electronics and scanner components. This space consists of a rigid frame made of metal profiles with two transverse beams 13b located perpendicular to the X-axis, connecting respectively fragments of profiles 3 "and 3" "with a single profile 3", separating the scanner area 1b from the conveyor area 1a and the storage area 1c ... The cross bars 13b (see Fig. 5a) have projections 13c with threaded holes for fastening to the profiles 3 by means of bolts that are inserted into the first groove 35 and the fourth groove 38 of the profiles 3.

Fig. 4 and Fig. 4a show in cross-section the third zone of the table top 1 - the storage zone 1c. This zone consists of an accumulator 12, in which goods are placed, already registered at the checkout, which are then manually displaced by the cashier or a second conveyor to the edge of the checkout box. The magazine 12 is secured by means of a groove 35, into which the upper fold of the magazine 12a is inserted, specially profiled to ensure optimal fixation. The accumulator 12 can be made in various shapes and sizes by bending a sheet of metal.

Profile 3 has cavities 39 that facilitate the structure of the profile, which are located along its entire length. In particular, such a cavity 39 is located in the lower part of the profile 3 between the groove 30a of the base 30 and the groove 38 located on the inner side 34 of the profile 3. In the partition 40 separating the groove 38 from the cavity 39, a recess 39a is made for inserting threaded connections (self-tapping screws) , which connect the profiles 3 with the end elements 4 forming the ends of the checkout box. A similar recess 39b is located at an angle in the second groove 36 of the inner part 34 of the profile and abuts the groove 35.

End pieces 4 are usually made of plastic. The profiles 3 are made of metal, preferably aluminum, and the cabinets 20, 21 are made of bent sheet steel.

The checkout box is used as follows. The buyer comes from the outside of the checkout box and places the goods on the conveyor zone 1a of the tabletop 1. Then the goods are moved using the conveyor 12 or manually by the cashier to scan the barcode and enter the storage zone 1c, from where they are picked up by the customer after paying for the goods.

The offered checkout box offers numerous advantages, in particular, the special shape of profile 3 with the presence of a significant number of fasteners, specially designed and universally suitable for assembly using a single standard mounting kit, which is cut to the required size and constitutes the basic element for building a checkout box.

The claimed shape of the profile allows you to easily change the shape and dimensions of the checkout box in accordance with the individual requirements of the customer, while the assembly process becomes easier and faster, since the presence of various recesses, grooves for fastening allows you to avoid a significant part of specialized work, such as perforation and welding, which are necessary in the assembly of check-out counters, known designs at the present time.

For example, often the client makes individual requirements for the checkout box, namely, he wants the listed zones to be of a certain shape, color, size, depending on the customer's requests.

The claimed invention allows you to achieve such results when performing a checkout box on individual order(size, color, accessories) using standard components, which, in turn, ensures a reduction in installation and design costs. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to use different production lines for different customers.

In addition, if it is necessary to replace any part of the countertop, without involving a specialist, it is enough to unfasten the profiles and replace the worn-out part of the checkout box with a new one, securing it by means of profiles using threaded connections. The execution of profiles with cavities makes the profiles lightweight, which greatly facilitates the process of assembling the checkout box.

At the same time, the presence of recesses made in the upper part of profile 3 allows you to easily and quickly, without fasteners and threaded fasteners, install various accessories, such as dividing walls or a holder for a device for entering a PIN code. The conveyor support is also installed without the use of threaded fasteners, but simply by attaching it to the corresponding groove.

The claimed invention can significantly reduce the assembly time of the checkout box. The checkout box of this design can be easily assembled on site, since its component parts are attached to each other by means of a groove connection. The end elements of the checkout box are securely fixed with screws, which are screwed into the profile with ready-made recesses, and therefore can be mounted with minimal effort.

Fenders are installed in a groove, with the possibility of their removal, so that, if necessary, they can be quickly removed and replaced, in case of damage or just to change appearance checkout box.

Service of checkout counters.

Checkout box ( workplace cashier), depending on the configuration, can be equipped with a conveyor belt, in some cases even two, or it can simply have a tray for the goods, along which the buyers themselves move the goods.

The conveyor belt is equipped with an electric drive, which is controlled by the cashier in automatic, semi-automatic, or manual mode.

Like any other equipment, the conveyor belt tends to break. There are three common solutions to your problem.

Method 1.

The enterprise has a locksmith Petrovich, who knows everything, knows everything and, in principle, can repair the conveyor belt of the checkout box. From the experience of repairs, I can say that most of such repairs end with the checkout box working after such a repair, but as a rule, already with the elements of safe operation of the conveyor belt disabled. Manufacturers of conveyor belts are trying to take this factor into account as well, they install protection elements in hard-to-reach places for an ordinary man in the street. For example, on the gearbox of a drum engine, the most loaded gear is made of plastic, in case of a critical situation, the gear simply cuts off, and the object that turned out to be the cause of jamming gets off with light bruises and injuries. However, I had to meet with the results of such grief of repairmen who manage to carve these gears out of iron, without thinking about the safety of operation. It should be borne in mind that the locksmith Petrovich has only a set of standard spare parts (wire, fuse, automatics, etc.) and in the absence of the necessary spare parts for repair, he will turn to the head of the enterprise with a proposal to find these parts, otherwise the conveyor belt will not work. Now this is a headache for the head of where to find and how to deliver necessary detail, negotiate a guarantee if they did not send what the locksmith Petrovich wanted.

Pros.

You do not have to pay for repairs after the fact, in addition, you significantly increase the speed of repairs. Your specialist will repair, if he can, broken equipment in the shortest possible time, in the event of a minor breakdown.

Repair speed. The practical response time to the application is 3-5 minutes.

Minuses.

Lack of non-standard parts in the warehouse that are needed for repair. As a result, the repair time is increased.

In case of a serious breakdown of the conveyor belt, the intervention of a third-party, highly specialized specialist is required.

Method 2.

Look for the first office you come across for the repair of checkout counters and contact them. You can now type in the line of the search service "Repair of checkout counters<Ваш город>», And you will find out how many companies are engaged in the repair of checkout counters in your city. It should be noted that the employees of these enterprises leave only by prepayment, which you yourself understand is not always realistic. For example: on-site diagnostics (2-3 hours) -> estimate (0.5-2 hours) -> Receiving an invoice for payment (0.1-1 hour) -> Payment (1-48 hours (for example, you received an invoice at 18-00 Friday)) -> Repair (1-48 hours (for example, you paid the bill, and the payment fell on the weekend). The disadvantages of such repairs include the speed of repair and the fact that the repair is done on a prepayment basis - then it is screwed into the repair everything to the maximum, and this is not due to the greed of the company providing repairs, it is simply the so-called contingency insurance.For example: there are two breakdowns in the conveyor belt, but the second breakdown can only be seen after fixing the first breakdown, as a result, the mechanic will make repairs, and the conveyor belt will not work, despite the fact that the scope of work was completed in full according to the estimate.

Pros.

Savings on scheduled maintenance.

Minuses.

When the repair service representative asked about the checkout box model, the phone call may take a little longer, in fact, the repairman goes to the facility without even knowing what he will have to face, which means the likelihood that the repairman will have to come twice is greatly increased.

In most cases, the work is carried out according to the formula "Money in the morning - chairs in the evening", or cash, as a rule, in black cash, not a single sensible head of the repair organization will give the cash register to the mechanic at the facility.

Method 3.

Conclude a contract for the checkout box maintenance. In this case, having the contract in hand, the company providing the repair, performs the repair first, and only then the fact of payment occurs. The problem is that the contractor company, as a rule, signs an agreement on the terms of constant maintenance payment (quarterly, semi-annual, annual). Any commercial enterprise has as its task to make a profit, and will not keep an employee for the repair of conveyor belts just like that.

Minuses.

The biggest disadvantage is, of course, the payment for periodic maintenance, you will pay maintenance, regardless of whether you had a checkout box breakdown or not.

Pros.

A mechanic will come to you, who will professionally make diagnostics of your checkout box, give recommendations, follow technical condition equipment. As a specialist, he will know where and what you connect to and who to contact in this or that case.

For the Customer.

Method 1 is essentially equivalent to Method 3 and is the most viable option economically.

Method 2 Before making an application for the repair of the conveyor belt, be sure to make sure that the fungus is cocked ( fungus is called an emergency switch, made in the shape of a mushroom cap, usually in bright red colors. The principle of operation of the fungus, by pressing on the cap, the tape stops, but in order to cock the fungus, it is necessary to turn the cap of the fungus clockwise. An approximate view of the fungus in the photo below

other electrical devices are working at the checkout, the cleaner did not accidentally unplug the conveyor belt control unit from the socket. If you are not able to perform the above actions, be sure to specify how much it will cost to call a mechanic, in your case, to connect a working control unit of the conveyor belt to the outlet at the cash register. This is the amount that such simple actions will cost you.

For the performer.

Suppose you are the head of an enterprise, you have an employee at your enterprise who understands electronics, electrical engineering, and has an appropriate electrical safety group to work as part of a team in electrical installations up to 1000V.

Try to make estimates for work and agree in advance in writing.

Refuse to sign estimates for the readiness of the product. Such estimates are fraught with pitfalls. A real case. The mechanic left for diagnostics, it turned out that the pedal was broken. You have issued an invoice - recovery of the cash register. When installing the pedal, it turned out that the motor has been drumming for more than 14 years, and it just "sucked" the oil. When turned on for a short time, the motor works perfectly, but after connecting the pedal, due to lack of lubrication, the gearbox simply melted after a day of operation. Since the estimate was signed for the readiness of the product, the question arose about replacing the drum motor at the expense of the contractor. If the estimate had been signed for the replacement of the pedal, the departure of the mechanic, diagnostics, then such a problem would not exist.

Documents generated by 1C are not a report on the work, reduce to a minimum the number of positions in the act of completed work. And attach an estimate to the act of work performed (an arbitrary act written out in the form of the contractor's company or another document with a detailed description of the work performed and the materials used).

We check whether the drum motor "sucks" oil through the wire. A characteristic feature is the oil on the connector of the drum motor coming to the control unit. The approximate leakage time can be indirectly estimated by the rigidity of the cable from the drum motor to the control unit. Directly at the drum motor, the wire is very rigid and can simply break when bent, and the further from the drum motor the rigidity of the wire does not change, the more time the drum motor "sucked". If the cable from the drum motor to the connector on the control unit has lost its flexibility for more than 50% of its length, then the oil in the drum motor simply needs to be refilled !!!

We hand over (accept) work.

On the conveyor belt we put a tie made of two-liter Pepsi bottles, or a load of 10-15 kg, the belt must move on its own, otherwise the repair is not finished.

Be sure to check the operation of all control keys. Attention!!! In case of violation of integrity protective film closing the keys, even newly replaced keys can fail after 3-4 months.
