MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

(6) Hereinafter, an input/output port (hereinafter, referred to as an I/O port) mounting unit integrated type display frame for POS equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is also noted that like reference numerals denote like elements in appreciating the drawings. Moreover, detailed descriptions related to well-known functions or configurations will be ruled out in order not to unnecessarily obscure subject matters of the present invention.

(7) As illustrated in FIG. 1, an I/O port mounting unit integrated type display frame 300 for POS equipment is mainly used for the POS equipment including a cover 20 that is coupled to an upper side of a rear surface case 10 in an attachable/detachable manner and exposes the I/O port mounting unit when detached. However, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the I/O port mounting unit integrated type display frame 300 for POS equipment may be used for POS equipment including I/O ports having various structures.

(8) As illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, the I/O port mounting unit integrated type display frame 300 for POS equipment includes a display panel mounting unit 310, in which a display panel 50 is inserted and loaded, formed at a front surface thereof. In this case, although the display panel 50 may be mounted through a screw hole defined in a side surface of the I/O port mounting unit integrated type display frame 300 for POS equipment by using a mounting screw, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the mounting method. For example, the display panel 50 may be mounted through various embodiments. Also, as illustrated in FIG. 2, a touch panel 51 may be additionally mounted to an outer side of the display panel 50.

(9) As illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, the I/O port mounting unit integrated type display frame 300 for POS equipment includes the I/O port mounting unit 320 formed at a rear surface thereof and having an I/O port mounting hole 322, in which an I/O port 31 provided at a main substrate 30 is inserted and coupled. The I/O port mounting unit has a part cut from an I/O port mounting unit perforation 321 and is formed to be bent towards the rear direction so as to be protruded therefrom. That is, the I/O port mounting unit 320 is constituted by a portion of the /O port mounting unit integrated type display frame 300 for POS equipment, instead of being separately manufactured and then assembled. Accordingly, through the above-described extremely efficient single structure, the display panel, the main substrate, and the I/O port of the main substrate may be mounted to each other in a mechanically firm manner, and manufacturing costs and efficiency of the manufacturing process may be enhanced.

(10) Also, as the I/O port mounting unit perforation 321 is configured to have a cut part, which serves as a ventilation hole for a part constituting the I/O port mounting part 320, an ascending air current, which is generated due to heat generation of the display panel 50 or the main substrate 30, is smoothly flown and circulated with a lower main ventilation hole 330, which will be described later, efficient heat discharge may be performed even during a long time operation without an additional circulation unit.

(11) As illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, the lower main ventilation hole 330 is formed at a lower side of the rear surface of the I/O port mounting unit integrated type display frame 300 for POS equipment.

(12) Also, as a recessed kernel 350, which is recessed inward, is formed between the I/O port mounting unit perforation 321 and the lower main ventilation hole 330, an effective area of a fluid passage, through which a fluid is circulated while discharging heat generated from the main substrate 30, increases, and the air circulation for heat discharge is desirably more smoothly performed.

(13) In this case, for more smooth air circulation, as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, the I/O port mounting unit integrated type display frame 300 for POS equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes: an upper first ventilation hole 340 formed at an upper side of the I/O port mounting unit perforation 321; a plurality of upper second ventilation holes 341 formed at the upper side of the I/O port mounting unit perforation 321; and a plurality of lower auxiliary ventilation holes 331 formed at a lower side of the lower main ventilation hole 330.

(14) Through the above-described structure, the I/O port mounting unit integrated type display frame 300 for POS equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention may allow the ascending air current generated by the heat generation of the display panel 50 or the main substrate 30 to be smoothly circulated as illustrated by an arrow in FIG. 5, to effectively discharge the heat even during a long time operation.

(15) Also, as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, the I/O port mounting unit integrated type display frame 300 for POS equipment desirably further includes a main substrate mounting unit 360, to which the main substrate 30 is mounted and fixed, so as to mechanically couple and fix the main substrate 30.

(16) Also, as described above, when the POS equipment includes the cover 20, which is coupled to the upper side of the rear surface case 10 in an attachable/detachable manner and exposes the I/O port mounting unit 320 when detached, as the input/output port mounting unit 320 is further formed with a rear surface case coupling part 323, which is formed by consecutively bending an end of the input/output port mounting unit 320 so as to be fixed to the rear surface case 10, the I/O port mounting unit integrated type display frame 300 for POS equipment may be coupled to the rear surface case 10 in a mechanically firm manner through a frame coupling through-hole 11 formed at the rear surface case 10 by using a coupling unit such as a bolt or a screw as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4.

(17) Hereinabove, the preferred embodiments were disclosed in the drawings and specification. While specific terms were used, they were not used to limit the meaning or the scope of the present invention described in claims, but merely used to explain the present invention. Accordingly, a person having ordinary skill in the art will understand from the above that various modifications and other equivalent embodiments are also possible. Hence, the real protective scope of the present invention shall be determined by the technical scope of the accompanying claims.
