[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figures 1 to 3The figure shows the first embodiment of the utility model, a retractable and fixed price tag box, comprising a box body 1 with a hollow cavity, a label slot 2, and two limiting components 3. The label slot 2 is fixedly mounted on the side of the box body 1, and the two limiting components 3 are arranged opposite to each other and are movably mounted on both sides of the cavity of the box body 1. A take-in and put-out port 11 is provided at the upper end of the box body 1, and the price tag is placed in the label slot 2. A number of cigarettes are placed inside the box body 1 from the take-in and put-out port 11. The price tag corresponds to the cigarettes. The two relatively arranged retractable limiting components 3 can fix cigarettes of different specifications. Customers find the cigarettes they want according to the price tag and take out the cigarettes from the take-in and put-out port 11. The limiting components 3 limit the remaining cigarettes in the box body 1 to ensure that the cigarettes are neatly placed, which is convenient for subsequent customers to find the cigarettes they want and enhances the customer purchasing experience. The present invention is not limited to storing only cigarettes. In addition to cigarettes, it is also applicable to other products. Cigarettes are used as a specific illustration. In addition, the present invention can also be used for transportation. The limiting component 3 fixes the product to prevent the product from moving or tipping over due to vibration during transportation. The limiting component 3 restricts the movement of the product, which can also reduce friction and collision between products, thereby avoiding damage to the goods.

[0032] The limiting component 3 of the present invention includes a limiting plate 31 and a reset component 32. One end of the reset component 32 is connected to the box body 1, and the other end is connected to the limiting plate 31. In this embodiment, there are two limiting components 3. When a number of cigarettes are placed in the cavity of the box body 1, the reset component 32 makes the limiting plate 31 close to the cigarettes. One end of the limiting plate 31 is connected to the reset component 32, and the other end abuts against the cigarettes, that is, the limiting plate 31 fixes and limits the number of cigarettes, and the cigarettes are neatly placed inside the box body 1. When a customer takes out a box of cigarettes, the reset component moves the limiting plate 31 and abuts against the remaining cigarettes, avoiding the scattering of cigarettes and ensuring the purchasing experience of subsequent users.

[0033] The reset assembly 32 of the present invention includes a reset rod 321, an elastic member 322 and a fixed cylinder 324 with a hollow cavity. The fixed cylinder 324 is fixedly connected to the box body 1 and one end of the fixed cylinder 324 is provided with an opening 325. One end of the elastic member 322 is installed in the fixed cylinder 324, and the other end is connected to one end of the reset rod 321. The other end of the reset rod 321 is connected to the limit plate 31. When the staff puts cigarettes into the box body 1, that is, when the number of cigarettes in the box body 1 increases, the cigarettes push the limit plates 31 on both sides to move toward the sides of the box body 1, and the limit plates 31 push the reset rod 321 to press The elastic member 322 is compressed and the limit plate 31 fixes the cigarettes; when the customer takes out the cigarettes from the box body 1, that is, when the number of cigarettes in the box body 1 decreases, the elastic member 322 relaxes and recovers, pushing the reset rod 321, and the reset rod 321 pushes the limit plate 31 to fix the cigarettes again from both sides, making it difficult for the cigarettes to collapse, optimizing the placement of cigarettes, and reasonably arranging them, avoiding the accumulation and scattering of cigarettes, and avoiding affecting the overall image of the store. In addition, the reset component 32, the limit plate 31 and the fixing cylinder 324 can be used to fix products of different specifications separately. The elastic member 322 of this embodiment is a spring. The spring has the characteristic of automatic reset. After the cigarette is removed from the interior of the box body 1, the spring can quickly expand and restore, pushing the reset rod 321 and then pushing the limit plate 31 so that the limit plate 31 contacts the remaining cigarette. The spring has good durability and fatigue resistance and can be reused for a long time. The spring can be compactly installed in a limited space, saving space. Furthermore, springs are available in a variety of types and sizes, and the appropriate spring can be selected according to different application requirements. In addition, the spring is easy to inspect and replace, which facilitates subsequent maintenance and repair work. The use of a spring for the elastic member 322 of this embodiment does not mean that only springs can be used. Elastic steel plates or the repulsive force of magnets can also be used. When selecting a solution, it is necessary to consider the specific requirements of the application, such as force, speed, precision, environmental conditions, cost, and maintenance.

[0034] The reset assembly 32 of the present invention also includes a slider 323, one end of the slider 323 is fixedly connected to the reset rod 321, and the other end is in contact with the elastic member 322. A first guide slot 326 is provided on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 324, and the slider 323 is inserted into the first guide slot 326. The slider 323 is slidably connected to the fixed cylinder 324 through the first guide slot 326. The first guide slot 326 can ensure that the slider 323 moves along a predetermined path, providing accurate positioning and repeatability, and can also reduce friction of the slider 323 during movement, prevent it from deviating from the track, reduce energy consumption, and slide The block 323 and the first guide slot 326 ensure the smooth movement of the reset rod 321, and thus the smooth movement of the limit plate 31, preventing them from wobbling freely and reducing wear on the reset rod 321. Furthermore, the outer diameter of the slider 323 is larger than the outer diameter of the opening 325 of the fixed barrel 324. When no cigarettes are placed inside the box body 1, the elastic member 322 relaxes and recovers, and the reset rod 321 will not fall out of the opening 325 of the fixed barrel 324. This ensures the structural integrity and proper function of the present invention, reduces maintenance costs, and reduces the waste of resources required to re-purchase or re-produce parts due to lost parts. Furthermore, the first guide slot 326 can be subjected to appropriate surface treatment to reduce friction, such as polishing or coating the guide slot surface.

[0035] As an embodiment of the present utility model, when the staff places cigarettes into the box body 1, the cigarettes push the limiting plates 31 on both sides to move toward the sides of the box body 1, and the limiting plates 31 push the reset rod 321 to compress the elastic part 322. The elastic part 322 is compressed by force, and the limiting plates 31 fix the cigarettes; when the customer takes out the cigarettes from the box body 1, the elastic part 322 relaxes and recovers, pushing the reset rod 321. The reset rod 321 pushes the limiting plates 31 to fix the cigarettes again from both sides to prevent the cigarettes from collapsing and scattering, thereby avoiding affecting the customer's shopping experience.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 4The second embodiment of the retractable, fixed price tag box of the present invention is shown. This embodiment is similar to the first embodiment, except that the box body 1 is provided with a vent set 12. A first vent 121 is provided at the lower end of the box body 1, and second and third vents 122 and 123 are provided on either side of the box body 1. The vents help maintain air circulation within the box body 1, reducing moisture and preventing cigarettes from becoming damp, which can affect their taste and quality. Furthermore, the vents reduce the likelihood of cigarettes absorbing odors from the surrounding environment, preserving their original flavor and preventing deterioration due to prolonged storage. In this embodiment, the first vent 121 is oval in shape, with a larger opening 325, making it easier for management to clean and maintain, and preventing dust accumulation that could affect ventilation. The second and third vents 122 and 123 on either side have smaller openings 325, ensuring ventilation while protecting against direct sunlight and contact with foreign matter, thereby preventing discoloration of the cigarette packaging or flavor changes caused by exposure to the sun. The fact that the number of ventilation holes is three in this embodiment does not mean that there are only three ventilation holes. The shape and size of the ventilation holes are not limited to the above description and can be selected according to specific needs.

[0038] The label slot 2 of the present invention is provided with a plurality of cleaning slots 22 at the bottom thereof, which facilitates the salesperson to clean the cavity of the label slot 2 and prevents dust from accumulating inside the label slot 2 and causing the price tag to rot. Keeping it clean helps to maintain the hygiene and appearance of the store and ensure the customer's shopping experience. At the same time, the cleaning slots 22 can also play a certain ventilation effect, reduce the material degradation caused by moisture, and ensure the physical properties of the price tag. The number of cleaning slots 22 in this embodiment is three, but is not limited to three and can be selected as needed.

[0039] The label slot 2 is made of a transparent plastic material, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polycarbonate (PC). The transparent label slot 2 allows customers and sales staff to easily view the information on the price tag, enabling quick search. It also has good wear and impact resistance, making it resistant to wear and drops during daily use. Its smooth surface makes it easy to wipe and clean, helping to keep the label slot 2 clean. The use of a transparent plastic material for the label slot 2 in this invention does not necessarily limit it to transparent plastic. In addition to transparent plastic, other materials such as acrylic or glass can also be used, depending on factors such as cost budget and durability requirements. Furthermore, the box body 1 can also be made of a transparent plastic material, allowing customers and sales staff to easily see the appearance of the cigarettes and quickly find the cigarettes they want, thereby improving the user's purchasing experience. In addition to transparent plastic, the box body 1 can also be made of wood. A wooden box body 1 has a simple and heavy texture, exquisite workmanship, and high aesthetic appeal. It also better protects the goods inside and, compared to other materials, a wooden box body 1 can last longer.

[0040] The upper end of the side of the label slot 2 of the present invention is provided with a notch 23 for easy replacement. The middle of the notch 23 is arc-shaped, making it more convenient for staff to pick up and place price tags, providing a space that is easy to operate. Especially when the space inside the tobacco cabinet is limited due to the compact arrangement, it can also reduce the use of materials to a certain extent, thereby reducing costs. The fact that the notch 23 of the label slot 2 of this embodiment is opened at the upper end does not mean that it can only be opened at the upper end. It can also be opened at the side end. The choice can be made based on convenience and aesthetics. In addition, the corners of the present invention are all rounded. Customers and sales staff are not easily scratched by the corners when picking up, storing or moving the price tag box of cigarettes, avoiding the risk of injury to staff and scratching the surface of other objects. The rounded corners make the appearance softer.

[0041] Example 3

[0042] Figures 5 and 6 This is the third embodiment of a retractable and fixed price tag box of the utility model. This embodiment is similar to the first embodiment, except that a plurality of second guide slots 34 are provided at the front and rear ends of the cavity of the box body 1 of the utility model, and a plurality of limit blocks 311 are provided on both sides of the limit plate 31. The limit blocks 311 are inserted into the second guide slots 34 and are slidably connected to the second guide slots 34. The limit blocks 311 move linearly in the second guide slots 34 to ensure that the limit plate 31 only moves linearly back and forth, and to a certain extent withstands the force in the vertical direction of the limit plate 31, thereby ensuring the normal use of the limit plate 31. When the limit plate 31 continuously moves toward the fixed cylinder 324, the elastic member 322 is squeezed and compressed by the reset rod 321, and the second guide slot 34 can serve as a positioning point of the extreme compression position of the elastic member 322, that is, when the elastic member 322 is continuously compressed by the pressure, the second guide slot 34 abuts against the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 324 and the limit block 311, preventing the elastic member 322 from being further compressed, thereby playing a limiting role and ensuring that the elastic member 322 does not exceed the designed maximum compression amount during the force application process. The size of the second guide slot 34 needs to match the size and compression stroke of the elastic member 322. It is necessary to ensure that when the elastic member 322 is in the maximum compression state, or before being in the maximum compression state, the elastic member 322 is prevented from being damaged due to exceeding the designed stroke. There are at least two second guide slots 34. In this embodiment, four second guide slots 34 are selected, and two second guide slots 34 are decorated on the front and rear ends of the inner wall of the box body 1 respectively, and the number of limit blocks 311 corresponds to the number of second guide slots 34, and four are also selected. The selection of four second guide slots 34 in this embodiment does not mean that it is limited to four, and it can be selected as needed.

[0043] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. A person skilled in the art will be able to make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here.
