Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of display equipment technology, specifically to an induction vertical slide cigarette vending rack. Background Technology

[0002] Some retailers have narrow store layouts, with a long and narrow shape and little depth. Currently, the cigarette display cabinets on the market hold 10 boxes of cigarettes from front to back, and the cabinets are relatively deep. This limits the use of space in such narrow and long stores and makes it inconvenient to walk around and move goods after the cabinets are placed inside.

[0003] A patent with publication number CN103082750A discloses a solution consisting of a back panel, side panels, sliding plate, partitions, door panels, baffles, and support plates bonded together. Several partitions are longitudinally bonded to the sliding plate and perpendicular to it, dividing the interior of the cigarette counter into several areas for storing different brands of cigarettes. The back of the sliding plate has longitudinal grooves, and a sliding tongue is fitted into these grooves. The grooves and the sliding tongue are connected by springs or rubber bands, allowing the sliding tongue to automatically return to its original position after moving within the grooves. When cigarettes need to be sold, a gentle push of the sliding tongue with a finger causes the cigarettes to slide naturally into the hand, while cigarettes behind slide naturally to the front of the counter for sale. This eliminates the need for manual repositioning and rearranging of the counter, making the entire operation convenient, flexible, quick, and efficient, significantly saving time and manpower and improving work efficiency.

[0004] The shortcomings of existing technology have gradually become apparent with use, mainly in the following aspects:

[0005] First, existing retailers are too busy to notice in time whether small packs of cigarettes are in restocking status, resulting in shortages. When customers need the cigarettes, retailers have to search through boxes because they are out of stock, which affects sales efficiency.

[0006] Secondly, when retailers temporarily leave the counter to do other work, there is a risk that small boxes of cigarettes in the cigarette cabinet may be stolen without the retailers noticing, leading to discrepancies in the accounts during subsequent inventory checks.

[0007] In conclusion, the existing technology obviously has inconveniences and defects in practical use, so it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content

[0008] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an induction vertical slide cigarette vending rack, which solves the problem that in traditional technologies, busy retailers cannot promptly detect whether small packs of cigarettes are in restocking status, resulting in stock shortages. When customers need the cigarettes, retailers have to rummage through boxes to find them, which affects sales efficiency.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0010] A sensor-operated vertical sliding cigarette vending rack includes a vertically arranged cigarette storage shell, a vertically arranged positioning plate inserted inside the cigarette storage shell, the positioning plate having its lateral position adjustable by a positioning structure, a support frame fixedly connected to the positioning plate, a horizontally arranged position sensor slidingly mounted on the support frame along its vertical direction, and an avoidance channel provided on the positioning plate to avoid the position sensor.

[0011] A smoke extraction hole is provided on the front side of the smoke storage shell near the lower end. An adjustment plate for adjusting the size of the smoke extraction hole is also provided on the front side of the smoke storage shell along a vertical direction.

[0012] As an optimized solution, the positioning structure includes several sets of opposing positioning members that are respectively fixed laterally to the inner back and inner front of the smoke storage shell. Each set of positioning members includes two vertically arranged positioning strips, and the end of the positioning plate is slidably inserted into the area between the two positioning strips.

[0013] As an optimized solution, the support frame includes two side plates fixedly attached to the back of the positioning plate, a connecting plate fixedly connected between the outer ends of the two side plates, and the position sensor slidably connected to the connecting plate.

[0014] As an optimized solution, a rectangular sliding hole is vertically opened on the connecting plate, the position sensor is slidably inserted into the rectangular sliding hole, and a support protrusion ring is provided on the outer wall of the position sensor. A fixing nut is threadedly connected to one side of the support protrusion ring, and the support protrusion ring and the fixing nut are located on opposite sides of the rectangular sliding hole.

[0015] As an optimized solution, the lower edge of the smoke extraction hole is flush with the inner bottom surface of the smoke storage shell.

[0016] As an optimized solution, an operating channel is vertically opened on the side wall of the smoke storage shell near the positioning plate.

[0017] As an optimized solution, the opposite sidewalls of the smoke storage shell are provided with smoke extraction pinch holes that communicate with the smoke extraction holes.

[0018] As an optimized solution, the positioning plate has a smoke-avoidance hole near the lower end on the side wall facing the front.

[0023] As an optimized solution, a positioning knob is threaded onto the outer wall of one of the support bars, and the end of the positioning knob abuts against the side wall of the adjustment plate.

[0024] As an optimized solution, the position sensor is electrically connected to an alarm unit.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0026] This vertical sliding cigarette rack solves the inconvenience for some retailers who have limited store space due to the traditional cigarette display cabinet, which makes walking and moving goods difficult. It does not take up deep space in the store and can store small boxes of cigarettes while displaying them.

[0027] By setting up a position sensor and adjusting its vertical height, the alarm system is activated when the number of cigarettes drops to the height of the position sensor, allowing operators to promptly replenish stock when needed.

[0028] The opening at the top of the cigarette storage shell facilitates restocking, while the cigarette retrieval hole on the front allows for easy retrieval from the bottom, ensuring first-in-first-out cigarette storage, preventing stockpiling of old stock, and enriching the personalized display effect.

[0029] The positioning plate is transparent, and the side wall of the cigarette storage shell near the positioning plate has an operating channel along its vertical direction. This allows for easy observation of the internal cigarette storage from the side and easy adjustment of the height of the position sensor. When the operator leaves the counter, the position sensor is moved to the height of the cigarettes at the top. If a criminal pulls out the cigarettes from the bottom, the position sensor will not detect the cigarettes, and the alarm will sound. This reduces the risk of theft by others without the retailer noticing.

[0030] The cigarette dispensing hole allows sales staff to easily hold the end of the cigarette with two fingers and take it out from the dispensing hole.

[0031] The positioning plate adjusts its lateral position through a positioning structure to match the width of cigarettes of different sizes. The vertical adjustment of the plate adjusts the vertical height of the cigarette dispensing hole to match the height of the cigarette type, thus improving aesthetics. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sensor-operated vertical sliding cigarette vending rack includes a vertically arranged cigarette storage shell 1, a vertically arranged positioning plate 2 inserted inside the cigarette storage shell 1, the positioning plate 2 having its lateral position adjusted by a positioning structure, a support frame fixedly connected to the positioning plate 2, a horizontally arranged position sensor 6 sliding along the vertical direction on the support frame, and an avoidance channel 3 on the positioning plate 2 to avoid the position sensor 6.

[0038] A smoke extraction hole 12 is provided on the front side of the smoke storage shell 1 near the lower end. An adjustment plate 13 is also provided on the front side of the smoke storage shell 1 to adjust the size of the opening of the smoke extraction hole 12.

[0039] The positioning structure includes several sets of opposing positioning members that are fixed laterally to the inner back and inner front of the smoke storage shell 1. Each set of positioning members includes two vertically arranged positioning strips 9, and the end of the positioning plate 2 is slidably inserted into the area between the two positioning strips 9.

[0040] The support frame includes two side plates 4 fixedly attached to the back of the positioning plate 2, and a connecting plate 5 fixedly attached between the outer ends of the two side plates 4. The position sensor 6 is slidably connected to the connecting plate 5.

[0041] A rectangular sliding hole 8 is vertically opened on the upper edge of the connecting plate 5. The position sensor 6 is slidably inserted into the rectangular sliding hole 8. A support protrusion ring is provided on the outer wall of the position sensor 6. A fixing nut 7 is threadedly connected to one side of the support protrusion ring. The support protrusion ring 16 and the fixing nut 7 are located on the two sides of the rectangular sliding hole 8.

[0042] The lower edge of the smoke extraction hole 12 is flush with the inner bottom surface of the smoke storage shell 1.

[0043] An operating channel 10 is vertically opened on the side wall of the smoke storage shell 1 near the positioning plate 2.

[0044] The opposite side wall of the smoke storage shell 1 is provided with a smoke extraction pinch hole 11 that communicates with the smoke extraction hole 12.

[0045] The positioning plate 2 has a smoke-avoidance hole near its lower end on the side wall facing the front.

[0046] An opening is provided at the top of the smoke storage shell 1.

[0047] Positioning plate 2 is a transparent acrylic plate.

[0048] The smoke storage shell 1 is a shell composed of non-transparent acrylic sheets.

[0049] The smoke storage shell 1 has vertical support bars 14 fixedly attached to the front sides of the smoke intake hole 12 on both sides. An insertion groove is provided between the opposite end faces of the two support bars 14, and the two side walls of the adjustment plate 13 are slidably inserted into the insertion groove.

[0050] One of the support bars 14 has a positioning knob 15 threadedly connected to its outer wall, and the end of the positioning knob 15 abuts against the side wall of the adjustment plate 13.

[0051] Position sensor 6 is electrically connected to the alarm unit.

[0052] The electrical connection between the position sensor 6 and the alarm unit is a common feature and not an innovation of this solution, so it will not be elaborated upon here. For example, the common methods for connecting the position sensor 6 to the alarm for automatic alarm activation include wired and wireless connections. In wired connections, analog signal connections use the position sensor 6 (such as a potentiometer-type position sensor 6) to output a continuous voltage or current signal related to position. This signal is converted to a digital signal by an A / D conversion module before being transmitted to the alarm. This type of connection is suitable for scenarios requiring high accuracy and short transmission distances. Digital signal connections, using communication protocols such as SPI and I2C, allow the digital position sensor 6 (such as a photoelectric encoder) to directly transmit digital signals to the alarm's microcontroller. This offers fast communication speeds and strong anti-interference capabilities, making it widely used in systems with high real-time requirements. In wireless connections, Bluetooth connections utilize Bluetooth technology. The position sensor 6 (such as some sensor modules with integrated Bluetooth functionality) can send data to an alarm with Bluetooth reception capabilities. This is suitable for short-range, low-power scenarios where wiring is difficult, such as small indoor security systems. Wi-Fi connectivity is suitable for scenarios where the sensor and alarm are far apart and need to transmit data via a network. The sensor connects to the network through the Wi-Fi module and sends its location data to the alarm connected to the network.

[0053] The working principle of this device is as follows:

[0054] This vertical sliding cigarette rack solves the inconvenience for some retailers who have limited store space due to the traditional cigarette display cabinet, which makes walking and moving goods difficult. It does not take up deep space in the store and can store small boxes of cigarettes while displaying them.

[0055] By setting up position sensor 6 and adjusting its vertical height, the alarm system will sound when the number of cigarettes drops to the height of position sensor 6, which will facilitate timely replenishment by operators when needed.

[0056] The opening at the top of the cigarette storage shell 1 facilitates restocking, and the cigarette retrieval hole 12 on the front allows for easy retrieval of cigarettes from the bottom, ensuring first-in-first-out storage of cigarettes, preventing stockpiling of old stock, and enriching the personalized display effect.

[0057] The positioning plate 2 is a transparent plate, and the cigarette storage shell 1 has an operating channel 10 vertically opened on the side wall near the positioning plate 2. This allows for easy observation of the internal cigarette storage from the side and easy adjustment of the height of the position sensor 6. When the operator leaves the counter, the position sensor 6 is moved to the height of the cigarettes above. When a criminal takes out the cigarettes from the bottom, the position sensor 6 will not detect the cigarettes, and the alarm will sound, reducing the risk of theft by others without the retailer noticing.

[0058] The cigarette dispensing hole 11 allows the salesperson to easily hold the end of the cigarette with two fingers and take it out from the cigarette dispensing hole 12.

[0059] The positioning plate 2 adjusts its lateral position through the positioning structure to match the width of cigarettes of different sizes. The vertical adjustment of the adjustment plate 13 makes the vertical height of the cigarette extraction hole 12 the same as the height of the cigarette type, thus improving the aesthetics.
