Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of price label guide rails, in particular to an elevation angle electronic price label guide rail. Background Art

[0002] Price tags are media used to identify product information. Product information, such as price information, product name, etc., can be obtained through price tags. The most common price tags are price cards in supermarkets, which are printed with product prices, names, and barcodes. With the development of the electronics industry, current price tags also have electronic price tags, which display product information through electronic screens. In order to fix the price tags on the shelves, it is necessary to use price tag rails for fixing. The price tag rails have a rail fixing structure and a price tag fixing structure. The rail fixing structure allows the price tag rails to be fixed on the shelves, and then the price tags can be placed on the price tag fixing structure. The shelves are often configured with multiple layers, and the bottom layer is close to the ground. Since the display surface of the price tags fixed by the conventional price tag rails faces the horizontal direction, when consumers observe the price tags on the bottom layer, they need to keep a certain distance and squat down to lower the viewing angle to see the information displayed on the label, which is inconvenient. Therefore, there are price tag guides with elevation angles in the prior art, such as the invention patent authorized by the applicant a few days ago, which is a high-strength multifunctional price tag guide with patent publication number CN113380132B. The patent is provided with a pitch mechanism, which includes a limit groove and a bending member, wherein the limit groove is arranged on the back of the price tag fixing part, one end of the bending member is arranged at the connection between the right end of the lower spring sheet and the back of the price tag fixing part, and the other end of the bending member is used to engage with the limit groove. This structure can achieve different elevation angles by inserting the bending member into different limit grooves. However, in actual use, the applicant found that the guide rail will be used for a long time after installation, and there is no need for frequent elevation adjustment. In addition, the bending member is connected to the connection between the right end of the lower spring sheet and the back of the price tag fixing part, and is not connected to the guide rail fixing part. The elevation angle structure formed by the bending member itself and the price tag fixing part has limited strength. During long-term use, the elevation angle may be lost due to its own aging or external impact, thereby increasing operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an elevation angle electronic price tag guide rail to solve the problem that the elevation angle structural strength of the existing price tag guide rail is limited and the elevation angle may be lost due to self aging or external impact during long-term use, thereby increasing operating costs.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides an elevation-angle electronic price tag guide rail, comprising a price tag fixing portion for fixing the price tag and a guide rail fixing portion for fixing the guide rail, the upper end of the guide rail fixing portion is connected to the upper end of the price tag fixing portion and the inner angle of the connection is an acute angle; the lower end of the guide rail fixing portion is fixedly connected to the lower end of the price tag fixing portion via a connecting plate.

[0005] Furthermore, the connecting plate, the guide rail fixing portion and the price tag fixing portion are integrally formed.

[0006] Furthermore, the price tag fixing portion includes a fixing plate, an upper hook plate and a lower hook plate, and the fixing plate, the upper hook plate and the lower hook plate are combined to form a C-shaped structure.

[0007] Furthermore, an extension plate is included, and the extension plate is arranged between the left end of the upper hook plate and the upper end of the fixing plate.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes an eaves plate, which is arranged at the bending position of the upper hook plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a flexible pad is also included, and the flexible pad is arranged inside the lower hook plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the guide rail fixing portion includes an upper claw plate and a lower claw plate, and both the upper claw plate and the lower claw plate are provided with clamping openings, and the two clamping openings are arranged in opposite directions relative to each other.

[0011] Furthermore, a groove is provided on the guide rail fixing portion.

[0012] Different from the prior art, the above technical solution includes a price tag fixing part for fixing the electronic price tag and a guide rail fixing part for fixing the guide rail on the shelf layer. The upper end of the price tag fixing part is connected to the upper end of the guide rail fixing part and is provided with an angle. The two ends of the connecting plate are respectively connected to the lower end of the price tag fixing part and the lower end of the guide rail fixing part, so that the price tag fixing part and the guide rail fixing part form a stable elevation angle. Since both ends of the connecting plate are fixedly connected, the strength of the overall structure of the guide rail is improved, the product life is increased, the damage rate of the guide rail is reduced, the operating efficiency is effectively improved, and the operating cost is reduced.

[0031] See also Figures 1 to 5This embodiment provides an elevation-angle electronic price tag guide rail, including a price tag fixing part 10 for fixing the price tag and a guide rail fixing part 20 for fixing the guide rail, the upper end of the guide rail fixing part 20 is connected to the upper end of the price tag fixing part 10 and the inner angle of the connection is an acute angle; the lower end of the guide rail fixing part 20 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the price tag fixing part 10 through a connecting plate 30.

[0032] It should be noted that the left end and the right end described in the present invention are described based on the cross section of the guide rail. Since the price tag guide rail is a long strip, such as Figure 1 As shown, in the three-dimensional structure, the left end and the right end correspond to the left edge and the right edge, and the upper end and the lower end correspond to the upper edge and the lower edge.

[0033] The guide rail fixing part 20 is used to be fixedly connected with the external support structure to fix the guide rail. The external support structure usually includes a wall, a shelf, a horizontal bar, a vertical bar or a table. The guide rail fixing part 20 can be configured with different types of guide rail fixing parts 20 according to different external support structures. The guide rail fixing part 20 can adopt an adhesive mechanism, and the external support structure is adhered to achieve fixation through the adhesive mechanism. The adhesive mechanism can adopt double-sided tape, nylon Velcro, etc. When the tape is adopted, the adhesive on the surface of the tape is used to make the back of the guide rail and the contact surface between the wall, table or shelf adhere to achieve fixation. When nylon Velcro is used, the A side and B side of the nylon Velcro can be set on the back of the guide rail and the wall, table or shelf correspondingly, and finally the nylon A side and the nylon B side are adhered to achieve fixation. The fixing by the adhesive mechanism has low cost, simple structure, convenient fixing process, only one adhesive plane is needed to achieve fixation, and high compatibility. Preferably, in order to facilitate the subsequent removal of the guide rail or the position of the movable guide rail, the guide rail fixing portion 20 can adopt a clamping mechanism, and the clamping mechanism clamps the external support structure to achieve fixation. The clamping mechanism can refer to the applicant's previous authorized patents, such as an electronic price tag assembly device with patent publication number CN214890368U. The layer plate fixing mechanism in this new type is equivalent to the clamping mechanism, which clamps the layer plate by cooperating with the second clamping portion through the other end of the first clamping portion, and the elastic member allows the second clamping portion to push the layer plate upward, so that , the shelf fixing mechanism can be firmly clamped on the shelf, reducing the possibility of the shelf fixing mechanism shaking on the shelf, so that the electronic price tag assembly device can adapt to a variety of shelf boards; for example, the patent document with publication number CN113380132A discloses a high-strength multifunctional price tag guide rail, and the cargo plate fixing plate in the patent document is equivalent to the guide rail fixing part. Through the connecting part and the lower spring sheet, the elastic clamping mouth between the upper pressing part and the lower top plate can be realized, and the shelf board or cargo board can be clamped, and high-strength clamping can be achieved. It should be noted that, including but not limited to this embodiment, all connections except for the easily deformable connection formed by flexible materials are actually fixed connections. The connection is essentially two hard plastics connected together by hard plastics (such as hard PVC plastics), and the connection will maintain the relative position of the plate-like structure to which it is connected (such as the transparent fixing plate 101, the upper hook plate 102, the lower main hook plate, etc. described below).

[0034] It should be noted that the elevation angle electronic price tag guide rail described in the present invention is mainly used in a relatively low fixed position. The walls, shelves, horizontal bars, vertical bars or desktops used to fix the price tag guide rails may be at a low position. Of course, in order to facilitate the explanation of the advantages of the present invention, the following specific embodiments are described by taking a shelf with multiple layers of shelves as an example.

[0035] The price tag fixing part 10 is used to fix the electronic price tag. The price tag fixing part 10 can also be a guide rail groove with an upper opening. Placing the electronic price tag in the groove can also achieve the effect of fixing the electronic price tag. The price tag fixing part 10 can also adopt a structure combining a support plate and a transparent cover plate. The electronic price tag is supported by the support plate, and then the transparent cover plate is covered to fix the electronic price tag. The specific structure can refer to the applicant's recently authorized patent, and the patent publication number is CN218181752U, which is an electronic price tag guide rail, which will not be described here.

[0036] In order to save costs and facilitate assembly or disassembly, the price tag fixing part 10 includes a fixing plate 101, an upper hook plate 102 and a lower hook plate 103, and the fixing plate 101, the upper hook plate 102 and the lower hook plate 103 are combined to form a C-shaped structure. When the price tag is inserted into the price tag fixing part 10, the upper edge of the price tag is limited and fixed by the upper hook plate 102, and the lower edge of the price tag is limited and fixed by the lower hook plate 103, and the fixing plate 101 supports the back of the price tag, thereby realizing a stable price tag fixing function. When using this structure, the upper or lower part of the price tag can be first inserted into the price tag fixing part 10, and then the relative lower or upper part can be pressed in to realize quick installation of the price tag, and the same is true for disassembly, which is convenient and quick. The fixing plate 101 is a long planar structure, the upper hook plate 102 and the lower hook plate 103 are strip structures with a hook-shaped cross section, one end of the upper hook plate 102 and the lower hook plate 103 are connected to the upper and lower edges of the fixing plate 101, and the bending direction of the other end of the upper hook plate 102 and the bending direction of the other end of the lower hook plate 103 are arranged face to face, thus, the fixing plate 101, the upper hook plate 102 and the lower hook plate 103 are combined to form a C-shaped structure. The upper and lower edges of the electronic price tag are hooked by the upper hook plate 102 and the lower hook plate 103 respectively, and the fixing plate 101 is used as a back support, so that the electronic price tag is fixed in the guide rail.

[0037] The connecting plate 30 is a long plate-like structure, and its left and right ends are respectively fixedly connected to the lower end of the guide rail fixing part 20 and the lower end of the price tag fixing part 10. The connecting plate 30, the price tag fixing part 10 and the guide rail fixing part 20 enclose a triangle. Based on the height set by the guide rail, after the guide rail is fixed, in order to make the guide rail fixing part 20 reach an elevation angle suitable for observation, the angle between the connecting plate 30 and the price tag fixing part 10 is an acute angle. On the other hand, in order to improve the overall structural strength of the guide rail, the angle between the connecting plate 30 and the guide rail fixing part 20, and the angle between the guide rail fixing part 20 and the price tag fixing part 10 are all acute angles. The angle between the connecting plate 30 and the price tag fixing part 10 can form an acute triangle, thereby forming an elevation price tag guide rail with higher structural strength.

[0038] Compared with the pitch mechanism in the prior art, the present invention eliminates the structure in which the bending member and the limiting groove cooperate with each other to form an elevation angle, and adopts a connecting plate 30 to be fixedly connected with the guide rail fixing part 20 and the price tag fixing part 10 respectively. On the one hand, the connecting plate 30 forms an angle with the guide rail fixing part 20 and the price tag fixing part 10 respectively, so that the price tag fixing part 10 forms an elevation angle with the horizontal plane. After the guide rail is fixed on the shelf, the front of the price tag fixed by the price tag fixing part 10 is tilted upward, which is convenient for consumers to observe the price information on the price tag from top to bottom. On the other hand, the bending member and the limiting groove adopt end hooks to hook with each other, and because the bending member needs to be hooked with multiple limiting grooves, it must be bendable and lacks rigidity. After being connected with the limiting groove, the overall pitch mechanism strength is poor. In comparison, the present invention adopts a connecting plate 30 to form an elevation angle, and the specific angle of the elevation angle can be adjusted according to the height of the shelf layer set by the guide rail. The lower the height of the guide rail is set, the larger the angle between the connecting plate 30 and the price tag fixing part 10.

[0039] The present invention comprises a price tag fixing part 10 for fixing an electronic price tag, and a guide rail fixing part 20 for fixing a guide rail on a shelf layer plate. The upper end of the price tag fixing part 10 is connected to the upper end of the guide rail fixing part 20 and is provided with an angle. The two ends of a connecting plate 30 are respectively connected to the lower end of the price tag fixing part 10 and the lower end of the guide rail fixing part 20, so that the price tag fixing part 10 and the guide rail fixing part 20 form a stable elevation angle. Since both ends of the connecting plate 30 are fixedly connected, the strength of the overall structure of the guide rail is improved, the product life is increased, the damage rate of the guide rail is reduced, the operating efficiency is effectively improved, and the operating cost is reduced.

[0040] In some embodiments, the connecting plate 30 is integrally formed with the guide rail fixing portion 20 and the price tag fixing portion 10. The integral forming can make the overall strength of the guide rail higher and further increase the service life of the guide rail.

[0041] In some embodiments, an extension plate 40 is further included, and the extension plate 40 is disposed between the left end of the upper hook plate 102 and the upper end of the fixed plate 101. The upper hook plate 102 can be arranged at the upper right side of the fixed plate 101 through the extension plate 40, and the upper hook plate 102 itself is rotated inward at a certain angle, thereby forming a deeper inner accommodating space, which can be used to insert a thin price tag, and the end of the upper hook plate 102 can still be used to resist the front of a thick price tag, thereby improving the versatility and practicality of the guide rail.

[0042] In some embodiments, an eaves plate 50 is further included, and the eaves plate 50 is disposed at the bend of the upper hook plate 102. The eaves plate 50 is used to provide a force application point. When removing the price tag, an upward force is applied to the eaves plate 50, and the eaves plate 50 drives the upper hook plate 102 to move upward, so that the price tag is separated from the price tag fixing mechanism, which is convenient for removal.

[0043] In some embodiments, a flexible pad 60 is further included, and the flexible pad 60 is disposed inside the lower hook plate 103. The flexible pad 60 can be made of a flexible plastic material, and the upper surface of the flexible pad 60 can be used to contact with a thick price tag and provide a buffer, so as to facilitate the fixing of the thick price tag. At the same time, a gap is left between the right side of the flexible pad 60 and the end of the lower hook plate 103, and the gap can be used to insert a paper price tag, thereby improving practicality.

[0044] In some embodiments, the guide rail fixing portion 20 includes an upper claw plate 201 and a lower claw plate 202, and the upper claw plate 201 and the lower claw plate 202 are both provided with clamps and the two clamps are arranged in opposite directions. The upper claw plate 201 and the lower claw plate 202 can be used to fix the shelf with a hook groove structure, so that the guide rail is more stable. Furthermore, a groove 203 is provided on the guide rail fixing portion 20. The shape or position of the groove 203 can be adjusted according to the specific structure of the external support structure. The groove 203 is engaged with the protruding structure of the layer plate to improve the stability of the guide rail.

[0045] It should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in this article, this does not limit the scope of patent protection of the utility model. Therefore, based on the innovative concept of the utility model, changes and modifications to the embodiments described in this article, or equivalent structural or equivalent process changes made using the contents of the utility model specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applying the above technical solutions to other related technical fields are all included in the scope of protection of the utility model patent.
