Detailed Implementation

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0036] like Figure 1-10 As shown in the figure, the convenient product display channel of this utility model includes a channel body 100, which has a product placement slot 101 for placing displayed products. The front end of the channel body 100 has a front blocking mechanism 102, which includes a left front blocking part 103 and a right front blocking part 104. The left front blocking part 103 and the right front blocking part 104 are located on the left and right sides of the center line of the product placement slot 101, forming a pick-up and put-out opening 105 between them. The left front blocking part 103 and the right front blocking part 104 can block the products conveyed to the front end of the product placement slot 101, so that the products stop near the pick-up and put-out opening 105. When the products are picked up or put out from the pick-up and put-out opening 105, they can be squeezed and deformed to facilitate the removal of the products or the placement of the products into the product placement slot 101.

[0037] The specific structures of the left front baffle 103 and the right front baffle 104 are as follows: each of the left front baffle 103 and the right front baffle 104 includes a column 106. The lower end of the column 106 is connected to the channel body 100. Preferably, the column 106 (front baffle mechanism 102) is integrally formed at the front end of the channel body 100 (e.g., the column 106 and the front end of the channel body 100 are integrally injection molded). Of course, the column 106 can also be detachably assembled at the front end of the channel body 100 (e.g., the column 106 is engaged with the front end of the channel body 100). The upper end of the column 106 has a protruding stop 107 on the side facing the product placement slot 101. The protruding stop 107 is used to block the products conveyed to the front end of the product placement slot 101.

[0038] When goods are taken out or placed through the loading / unloading port 105, the distance between the raised blocks 107 of the left front stop 103 and the right front stop 104 changes under the pressure of the goods. Specifically, the distance between the raised blocks 107 of the left front stop 103 and the right front stop 104 changes by utilizing the elastic deformation of the column 106 and / or the raised blocks 107 themselves, allowing the goods to pass between the two raised blocks 107. This allows goods to be taken out or placed into the goods placement slot 101, achieving horizontal or near-horizontal handling of goods in the product display channel. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 9 and Figure 10 Compared with existing product display channels, it is more convenient, easier and faster to pick up and put down products, with less space limitation and a wider range of applications.

Preferably, the front stop mechanism 102 and the second buckle 115 are integrally injection molded with the end head 110. When the end head 11 is assembled with the main slide rail 111, the first buckle 114 and the second buckle 115 engage with each other vertically.

[0044] More specifically, the structure of the first buckle 114 can be as follows: the first buckle 114 is a U-shaped buckle, which is integrally connected to the front end face of the main slide 111 and forms a locking hole 116; the second buckle 115 is a locking groove 117 adapted to the first buckle 114, and the locking groove 117 has a locking hook 118 near the groove wall of the main slide 111; during assembly, the U-shaped buckle (first buckle 114) is locked in the locking groove 117, and the locking hook 118 is inserted into the locking hole 116 and hooks the U-shaped buckle. The buckle (first buckle 114) securely attaches the end 110 to the front end of the main slide rail 111, ensuring high assembly strength, stability, and reliability. Furthermore, different specifications of the front guard mechanism 102 can be replaced according to the displayed products (e.g., replacing the end 110 with different widths of the loading / unloading port 105 between the left front guard 103 and the right front guard 104 and / or different heights of the left front guard 103 and the right front guard 104). This makes production and use flexible and convenient, reduces production and usage costs, and facilitates widespread application.

[0045] Furthermore, to address the issue of manual inventory management in existing merchandise display aisles, the merchandise display aisle of this invention also includes a pusher assembly 200, such as... Figure 1-3In addition to 7-10, the pusher assembly 200 includes a pusher block 201 and an elastic drive member 202. The pusher block 201 is movably mounted in the product placement slot 101. The elastic drive member 202 can be a coil spring or a tension spring, and is mounted on the pusher block 201. The outer end of the elastic drive member 202 is connected to the channel body 100 at the front end of the product placement slot 101, driving the pusher block 201 to move from back to front in the product placement slot 101, moving the product to the front end of the product placement slot 101, thereby realizing automatic sorting and making it more convenient to use.

[0046] Furthermore, in order for the pusher block 201 to propel the goods at a uniform speed, such as Figure 4 7, 8, The convenient merchandise display channel of this utility model also includes a propulsion damping mechanism. The propulsion damping mechanism includes a damper 203 and a gear and rack assembly. The damper 203 is mounted on the propulsion block 201.
