Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cigarette packing and counting, and specifically designs a device for improving the efficiency of cigarette packing and counting. Background Art

[0002] In the retail industry, especially in cigarette sales, inventory management is crucial to meeting market demand, optimizing the supply chain, and performing effective market analysis. With the development of technology, many retailers have begun to use cigarette pushers as a tool to display and sell cigarettes. Cigarette pushers can place cigarettes neatly on display racks, which is convenient for customers to browse and purchase, and also provides marketers with a relatively simple inventory method. When inventory is needed, marketers only need to observe the number of cigarettes at each position on the cigarette pusher to get approximate inventory data.

[0003] The existing cigarette pusher consists of two parts: a frame and an integrated movable frame with a coil spring. One end of the coil spring is fixed in the frame by a screw, and then the integrated movable frame with the coil spring is moved to stretch the coil spring, and a pack of cigarettes is inserted into the integrated movable frame and the frame. When the pack of cigarettes is taken out, the coil spring will automatically rebound, and the frequent operation of customers will cause the number of cigarettes to change rapidly, making inventory work difficult. In addition, the cigarette pusher is usually inserted into the display rack. In order to count the number of cigarette packs on each cigarette pusher and to ensure the accuracy of the statistical number, marketing personnel often need to remove the pusher from the display rack, and then count them one by one and record the number of cigarette packs on each cigarette pusher, which makes the inventory process relatively complicated and inefficient. Based on this, the inventor purposefully provides a device that can facilitate the counting of the number of cigarette packs and improve the efficiency of cigarette pack inventory.

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0029] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 A device for improving the efficiency of cigarette inventory, comprising a frame 1, a mobile frame 2 is slidably installed in the frame 1, a fixed frame 5 is fixedly installed at one end of the frame 1, a plurality of cigarette packs 4 are clamped between the fixed frame 5 and the mobile frame 2, a coil spring 3 is arranged in the fixed frame 5, a movable end of the coil spring 3 is fixed in the mobile frame 2 by screws, a plurality of digital labels 6 are arranged on the coil spring 3, and the values ​​of the plurality of digital labels 6 increase along the direction from the movable end of the coil spring 3 to the fixed end of the coil spring 3, and the distance between two adjacent digital labels 6 is consistent with the width of the cigarette pack 4.

[0030] In a specific embodiment, the numerical difference between two adjacent digital labels 6 is 1. A label slot is also provided on the frame 1 for marking the type of the cigarette package 4. The label slot is a prior art. The specific model is not disclosed in the utility model, which does not affect the integrity of the utility model.

[0031] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: according to the principle that the dimensions of conventional cigarette packs are consistent, that is, the length, width and height are the same, the length of the coil spring 3 occupied by each inserted pack of cigarettes is the same, a digital label 6 is set on the coil spring 3, and then a fixing frame 5 with a digital label 6 is fixed to one end of the frame 1, and this end is always located at the entrance of the display rack, and the marketing staff can directly observe the digital label 6. When inserting the cigarette pack 4, the position of the movable frame 2 is manually adjusted to keep it away from the fixed frame 5, at which time the coil spring 3 is pulled to stretch, and several cigarette packs 4 are inserted into the frame 1, and then the coil spring 3 is rolled. The rebound of the spring 3 will pull the movable frame 2 back, thereby clamping the cigarette pack 4. Since a digital label 6 is provided on the coil spring 3, and the distance between two adjacent digital labels 6 is consistent with the width of the cigarette pack 4, when the frame 1 clamps a certain number of cigarette packs 4, the digital labels 6 displayed on the coil spring 3 are consistent with the number of cigarette packs 4. The marketing personnel can directly record the number of cigarette packs 4 on the frame 1 by observing the digital labels 6, without having to remove the frame 1 from the display rack one by one for counting and resetting, which greatly reduces the time required for inventory and improves the efficiency of inventory.

[0032] At the same time, by observing the digital labels 6 , it is also possible to directly know how many cigarette packs 4 are needed on the frame 1 for replenishment.

[0033] Meanwhile, for the special-shaped cigarettes and cigarette cartons on the market, the device can be adapted to the special-shaped cigarettes and cigarette cartons by simply changing the spacing between the digital labels 6 so that the spacing corresponds to the width of the special-shaped cigarettes and cigarette cartons respectively.

[0034] Specifically, a guide rod 7 is slidably disposed in the fixed frame 5 , and the movable end of the coil spring 3 passes through the guide rod 7 and extends into the movable frame 2 , and the axis of the guide rod 7 is lower than the axis of the coil spring 3 .

[0035] In a specific embodiment, Figure 4 Taking the direction shown as an example, when the bending angle of the coil spring 3 at the guide rod 7 is an acute angle, the position of the digital label 6 is diagonally upward, and the frame 1 is placed at a lower position of the display rack, so that the marketing personnel can observe the digital label 6 by lowering their heads; when the bending angle of the coil spring 3 at the guide rod 7 is a right angle, the position of the digital label 6 is parallel to the cigarette pack 4, and the frame 1 is placed in the middle of the display rack, and the marketing personnel can observe the digital label 6 by looking straight ahead; when the bending angle of the coil spring 3 at the guide rod 7 is an obtuse angle, the position of the digital label 6 is diagonally downward, and the frame 1 is placed at an upper position of the display rack, and the marketing personnel can observe the digital label 6 by raising their heads.

[0036] This design adjusts the position of the digital label 6 according to the different heights of the frame 1 on the display rack. There is no need to squat to observe the frame 1 at the bottom of the display rack, or to observe the frame 1 at the top of the display rack by standing on tiptoe or using external objects. This not only makes it convenient for marketing personnel to directly observe, but also improves the efficiency of counting the number of cigarette packs 4.

[0037] More specifically, rectangular limiting grooves 8 are formed on both sides of the fixing frame 5 , and both ends of the guide rod 7 are slidably connected to the rectangular limiting grooves 8 .

[0038] In a specific embodiment, the guide rod 7 is limited by the rectangular limiting groove 8, which ensures that the guide rod 7 moves in the horizontal direction, thereby avoiding the problem that the coil spring 3 will hinder the cigarette pack 4 after the guide rod 7 moves.

[0039] Meanwhile, it should be noted that an extension portion 9 is fixedly mounted on one end of the guide rod 7 , a screw rod 10 is internally threadedly connected to the extension portion 9 , and the screw rod 10 abuts against the fixing frame 5 .

[0040] In a specific embodiment, when the guide rod 7 needs to be moved, the screw 10 needs to be loosened first, and then the guide rod 7 needs to be moved to slide in the rectangular limit groove 8. When the direction indicated by the digital label 6 is adjusted, the screw 10 is tightened to make it abut against the fixed frame 5, thereby fixing the guide rod 7 and ensuring that the direction indicated by the digital label 6 on the frame 1 is fixed. If it needs to be changed again, the above steps need to be repeated.

[0041] Specifically, the frame 1 and the fixing frame 5 are both made of transparent materials.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, the frame 1 and the fixing frame 5 are both made of transparent material, so that the value of the digital label 6 can be clearly seen whether looking up at the digital label 6 or looking down through the digital label 6, avoiding the phenomenon that the value cannot be observed due to viewing angle problems.

[0043] More specifically, the digital label 6 is attached to the coil spring 3 .

[0044] In a specific embodiment, the digital label 6 is fixed to the coil spring 3 by gluing, so as to change the distance between two adjacent digital labels 6 and adapt to the size of special-shaped cigarettes and cigarette cartons.

[0045] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected.
