Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tobacco sales, and in particular to an intelligent tobacco sales replenishment device. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of the tobacco retail industry and the increasing diversification of consumer demand, the traditional tobacco sales model is gradually transforming towards intelligence and convenience. In this transformation process, the equipment upgrade of tobacco sales terminals is particularly important, especially the innovative design of cigarette racks, a key sales auxiliary tool in stores, which is directly related to the improvement of customer shopping experience and the enhancement of retail efficiency. The main function of cigarette racks is to provide a stable and orderly display platform so that cigarette boxes can be neatly displayed to customers and facilitate their purchase. At the same time, cigarette racks also have an automatic replenishment function, which can automatically push the cigarette boxes at the back to the front after the cigarette boxes are taken away to keep the shelves full.

[0003] The traditional cigarette rack has an automatic replenishment mechanism with the help of the clever elastic force of the spring during operation, ensuring that the front of the rack is always filled with cigarette boxes for sale. This function undoubtedly improves efficiency. However, its design limitations are also obvious: the height of the frontmost cigarette box always maintains a parallel state with the rear cigarette box. In some cases, especially when the opening space at the top of the cigarette box is limited, it brings inconvenience to the customer's cigarette-taking process, which invisibly reduces the customer's shopping satisfaction and convenience. In addition, the fixed width of the traditional cigarette rack has also become a bottleneck in its application. Faced with the diverse sizes of cigarette boxes on the market, if the width of the cigarette box is smaller than the preset width of the cigarette rack, this fixed design may hinder the smooth replenishment process, making it difficult for the rear cigarette box to move smoothly to the front, affecting the replenishment efficiency and the overall user experience, showing a large limitation of use and lack of flexibility.

[0004] Furthermore, we disclose an intelligent tobacco sales replenishment device to meet the actual needs of the existing technology where the upper space of the cigarette rack is limited, which brings inconvenience to customers in the process of taking cigarettes, and the width of the cigarette rack cannot adapt to the width of the cigarette box, resulting in greater usage limitations.
