[0024] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is 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 the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0025] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being “fixed to” or “disposed on” another component, it can be directly on the other component or indirectly on the other component. When a component is referred to as being “connected to” another component, it can be directly or indirectly connected to the other component.
[0026] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
[0027] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of this utility model, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.
[0028] The utility model provides a smart shopping cart interspersed charging contact structure, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the spring clip 1 includes a hook 2 at the front end and a guide slope 3 at the rear end. The hooks 2 on adjacent spring clips 1 contact the guide slope 3. The spring clip 1 is made of a highly elastic metal material, such as 60Mn steel. A spring 4 is provided near the hook 2 on the spring clip 1 to provide additional elastic force, ensuring a more secure contact between the adjacent hooks 2 and the guide slope 3.
[0029] The working principle and beneficial technical effects of the above technical solution are as follows: when interlacing contact is required, adjacent spring pieces 1 will be connected end to end, and the hooks 2 on the adjacent spring pieces 1 will contact the guide slope 3. Through the elastic force of the spring pieces 1, the spring pieces have better contact stability when interlaced. When disassembling, they can be separated by pulling, which improves the efficiency of interlacing.
[0030] In one embodiment, Figure 1-7As shown, a smart shopping cart using the aforementioned interlaced charging contact structure comprises a frame 5, a socket 6 provided on the frame 5, a plug 7 provided at one end of the socket 6, a slot 8 provided at the other end of the socket 6, a spring 1 provided on the inner wall of the socket 6, one end of the spring 1 having a hook 2 extending below the plug 7, and one end of the spring 1 having a guide ramp 3 extending into the slot 8. A spring 4 is provided on the spring 1, the upper end of which is connected to the top wall of the socket 6. When the plug 7 on an adjacent socket 6 is inserted into the slot 8, the spring 4 presses the spring 1 toward the hook 2, causing the hook 2 on the adjacent spring 1 to contact the guide ramp 3. The spring 1 and the socket 6 are connected by screws 9, facilitating installation and removal of the spring 1. A tab 10 is provided on the spring 1, and a display screen 11 is provided at the top of the frame 5. The tab 10 and the display screen 11 are connected by a wire 12. The display screen 11 can be a tablet computer connected to a power source via the spring 1 to charge the display screen 11. Spring clips can be provided on the bottom and top walls of the socket 6, respectively. The two spring clips are connected by wires. As long as one of the spring clips is plugged in, charging can be completed, which improves the reliability of the plug-in and ensures the smooth charging of the shopping cart. Wheels 13 are provided at the bottom end of the frame 5 to facilitate the movement of the shopping cart. Two handles 14 are provided at the top end of the frame 5 for people to hold and push the shopping cart to move. A scanning terminal 15 is provided between the two handles 14, and the scanning terminal 15 is connected to the display screen 11. This allows shoppers to scan the code by themselves during the shopping process. After shopping, they can complete the checkout on the tablet PAD at any time and leave the supermarket. It is convenient and quick to use.
[0031] The working principle and beneficial technical effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the plug 7 on the socket 6 of the frontmost shopping cart is inserted into the charging head 16, so that the hook 2 contacts the conductive sheet of the charging head 16, and the spring piece 1 on the shopping cart is connected to the power supply, so that the tablet PAD on the shopping cart can be charged. The sockets 6 on the subsequent shopping carts are plugged in in sequence, so that the hooks 2 on the adjacent spring pieces 1 contact the guide slope 3, and the shopping carts connected in sequence can be charged. When in use, the shopping cart at the rearmost end can be pulled apart to disconnect the charging of the shopping cart, which is convenient to use and improves the charging efficiency of the shopping cart.
[0032] Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is intended to include such modifications and variations.
