Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the tobacco sales field, and in particular to a counting tool for cigarette inventory management. Background Technology
[0002] Tobacco companies have numerous retailers. Given the common situation of cigarette inventory management, retailers need to frequently conduct cigarette inventory checks. Manual counting is complicated and prone to errors, so a special cigarette inventory management counting tool was designed. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problem of easy counting errors during inventory checks, this utility model provides a counting tool for cigarette inventory management.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A cigarette inventory management counting tool includes a counting rod, which is cubic in shape and has a pad at the top. The counting rod has four faces, labeled A, B, C, and D. Each of the four faces has 10 scale lines with a spacing of 22.8 mm, 21.5 mm, 14.4 mm, and 12.2 mm, respectively. The scale lines are marked with the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 from top to bottom.
[0006] The lettering is printed on surface A (hard), on surface B (soft), on surface C (medium), and on surface D (fine).
[0007] The gasket is a circular plastic sheet with a diameter of 2.5 cm.
[0008] The technical solution of this utility model has a novel structure and a clever and simple design. By marking them with numbers, retailers can determine the scale surface to use based on the type of cigarettes they need to count, fix the position of the last cigarette using a fulcrum, and determine the number of cigarettes according to the scale display. The circular plastic sheet facilitates adjustment between the corresponding surfaces, so that the number of cigarettes can be known in a short time, avoiding manual counting errors. Attached Figure Description
[0009] Figure 1 , 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model;
[0010] Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0011] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example
[0012] like Figure 1 , 2The cigarette inventory management counting tool shown includes a counting rod 1, which is cubic in shape. A pad 2 is provided at the top of the counting rod 1. The counting rod 1 has four faces, namely A, B, C, and D. Each of the A, B, C, and D faces has 10 scale lines with a spacing of 22.8 mm, 21.5 mm, 14.4 mm, and 12.2 mm, respectively. The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 are marked on the scale lines from top to bottom.
[0013] The A side 3 is printed with the word "hard", the B side 6 is printed with the word "soft", the C side 4 is printed with the word "medium", and the D side 5 is printed with the word "fine".
[0014] The gasket 2 is a circular plastic sheet with a diameter of 2.5 cm.
[0015] like Figure 3 As shown, when in use, the counting stick 1 has dimensions of 50cm long * 1.5cm wide * 1.5cm thick. This is because the thickness varies depending on the type of cigarette on the market, resulting in four different cigarette scales—soft pack, hard pack, medium pack, and slim pack—with thicknesses of 22.8mm, 21.5mm, 14.4mm, and 12.2mm per pack, respectively. By labeling these thicknesses with numbers, retailers can determine the scale surface based on the type of cigarette they need to count, use a fulcrum to fix the position of the last cigarette, and determine the number of cigarettes based on the scale display. The circular plastic piece facilitates adjustment between the corresponding surfaces, and the thickness of the circular plastic piece matches the distance between the innermost cigarette and the innermost sidewall. This allows for quick determination of the cigarette count, avoiding manual counting errors.
