[0034] Please see Figure 1 The price tag component provided in the embodiments of this application will now be described. The price tag component includes a housing 100, a lighting device 200, a transparent panel 300, and a price tag 400; one end of the housing 100 has an opening; the lighting device 200 is disposed inside the housing 100; the transparent panel 300 is magnetically connected to the housing 100 at the opening; and the price tag 400 is held between the transparent panel 300 and the lighting device 200.

[0035] Compared with the prior art, the price tag component provided in this application embodiment has better ease of installation and replacement. The outer shell 100 and the transparent panel 300 are connected by magnetic attraction, which simplifies the installation and removal of the transparent panel 300 and allows for quick replacement of the price tag 400 held between the transparent panel 300 and the lighting device 200, greatly improving work efficiency. Moreover, the magnetic connection is relatively strong and can provide sufficient force to hold the price tag 400, making it less likely to fall off. At the same time, due to the addition of the lighting device 200, the information on the price tag 400 is clearly visible even in dimly lit environments, making it easier for customers to read and enhancing their shopping experience.

[0036] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 5 The price tag assembly also includes a first magnetic component and a second magnetic component 500. The first magnetic component is disposed on the outer casing 100, and the second magnetic component 500 is disposed on the transparent panel 300. The first magnetic component and the second magnetic component 500 are magnetically connected.

[0037] In this embodiment, by setting the first magnetic suction component and the second magnetic suction component 500, the magnetic connection between the outer shell 100 and the transparent panel 300 is realized. The magnetic connection method further enhances the connection strength between the transparent panel 300 and the outer shell 100, ensuring that the price tag component will not easily shift or fall off during use.

[0038] In one embodiment of this application, the first magnetic attractor includes a plurality of magnets (not shown) distributed along the edge of the opening of the housing 100.

[0039] In this embodiment, by distributing multiple magnets along the edge of the opening of the housing 100, this magnet distribution ensures sufficient magnetic force in any direction, guaranteeing the uniformity and stability of the magnetic connection. This maintains a tight connection between the transparent panel 300 and the housing 100, preventing loosening or detachment of the components due to vibration or external forces. Even when subjected to external forces, the stability and integrity of the price tag assembly are maintained.

[0040] In another embodiment of this application, the first magnetic element may also be a ring magnet, which is distributed along the edge of the opening of the housing 100. This design can further enhance the stability of the magnetic connection because the ring magnet can provide uniform magnetic force and increase the magnetic area, thereby ensuring a more reliable connection between the transparent panel 300 and the housing 100.

[0041] In one embodiment of this application, the second magnetic member 500 includes an iron sheet that is attached to the transparent panel 300.

[0042] In this embodiment, the second magnetic chuck 500 is made of an iron sheet adhered to the transparent panel 300. The iron sheet attracts the magnet of the first magnetic chuck, thereby achieving a magnetic connection between the outer shell 100 and the transparent panel 300. The use of an iron sheet not only simplifies the manufacturing process, but also, due to its flexibility, it can better adapt to minor unevenness between the outer shell 100 and the transparent panel 300, further improving the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0043] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 5 The iron sheet has a frame-shaped structure; the frame-shaped structure has a hollow groove 510, and the price tag 400 is located in the hollow groove 510.

[0044] In this embodiment, the iron sheet adopts a frame structure, and the hollowed-out groove 510 design allows the display portion of the price tag 400 to be exposed, so that customers can clearly see the information on the tag.

[0045] Understandably, the size of the cutout groove 510 is compatible with the size of the price tag 400. The cutout groove 510 also serves to position the price tag 400 during installation, thus enabling quick replacement of the price tag 400.

[0046] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 6 The lighting device 200 includes an electrically connected control panel 210 and a lamp panel 220; the lamp panel 220 covers the opening of the housing 100 and faces the price tag 400.

[0047] In this embodiment, the lighting device 200 is designed such that the lamp panel 220 covers the opening of the housing 100 and faces directly toward the price tag 400, ensuring uniformity and brightness of illumination, making the information on the price tag 400 clearly visible under any lighting conditions. The electrical connection between the control board 210 and the lamp panel 220 ensures the normal operation of the lighting device 200. Simultaneously, the control board 210 can integrate intelligent control functions, such as automatic brightness adjustment and timed switching, further enhancing the intelligence level of the price tag component.

[0048] Understandably, the light panel 220 is equipped with multiple LED beads, which are evenly distributed across the panel to ensure uniform and spotless illumination of the price tag 400. The use of LED beads not only improves lighting efficiency but also offers a longer lifespan and lower energy consumption, meeting the energy-saving and environmentally friendly requirements of modern commercial environments. Furthermore, the small size of the LED beads allows for flexible arrangement on the light panel 220, providing greater design freedom.

[0049] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 6 The price tag assembly also includes a power supply rail 600, and the housing 100 is slidably connected to the power supply rail 600; the power supply rail 600 is provided with a power module, and the lighting device 200 also includes a pin 230, one end of the pin 230 is electrically connected to the control board 210, and the other end of the pin 230 passes through the housing 100 and is electrically connected to the power module.

[0050] In this embodiment, the power supply method for the price tag assembly is realized by setting the power supply rail 600 and the power module, enabling the lighting device 200 to obtain stable power and ensuring the continuous operation of the price tag assembly. The design of the power supply rail 600 not only simplifies the installation process, but also allows the housing 100 to slide easily on the power supply rail 600 through a sliding connection, facilitating the adjustment of the position of the housing 100, and also facilitating the maintenance and replacement of the lighting device 200. In addition, the design of the ejector pin 230 ensures a stable electrical connection between the control board 210 and the power module, so that even if the housing 100 moves during the operation of the price tag assembly, it will not affect the normal power supply of the lighting device 200.

[0051] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 3 The outer casing 100 has a groove 110, and the control board 210 is installed in the groove 110.

[0052] In this embodiment, by providing a groove 110 in the housing 100, the control board 210 can be securely fixed inside the housing 100, preventing the control board 210 from shifting due to vibration or external force during use, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the price tag assembly.

[0053] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 4 The groove 110 forms a protrusion 120 on the other side of the housing 100, and the protrusion 120 is slidably connected to the power supply rail 600.

[0054] In this embodiment, the protrusion 120 further enhances the connection stability between the housing 100 and the power supply rail 600, making the price tag assembly more stable during use and less prone to displacement or detachment. The design of the protrusion 120 also allows the housing 100 to slide smoothly on the power supply rail 600, facilitating installation and maintenance, and also making it easier to quickly replace and adjust the price tag assembly.

[0055] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 4 The power supply guide rail 600 has a groove, and the protrusion 120 has a slider 130, which is slidably connected to the groove.

[0056] In this embodiment, a sliding connection between the housing 100 and the power supply rail 600 is achieved by providing a groove on the power supply rail 600 and a slider 130 on the protrusion 120. This sliding connection between the slider 130 and the groove not only ensures the stability and flexibility of the housing 100 on the power supply rail 600, but also simplifies the installation and removal of the housing 100. Furthermore, the sliding connection design allows for precise positional adjustment of the housing 100 on the power supply rail 600 to adapt to different installation environments and requirements, thereby improving the adaptability and flexibility of the price tag assembly.

[0057] In this embodiment, the transparent panel 300 can be made of acrylic material. Acrylic material has good transparency and weather resistance, making it suitable for use in the transparent panel 300 of the price tag assembly. Its surface is smooth, easy to clean, and does not easily leave fingerprints, keeping the price tag clean and aesthetically pleasing without affecting the reading of information on the price tag 400 through the transparent panel 300. In addition, acrylic material has high strength and is not easily broken. Even when subjected to slight impacts, it can maintain its shape, thereby protecting the internal price tag 400 from damage. During long-term use, acrylic material also has good durability, is not prone to aging and yellowing, and ensures the service life of the price tag assembly.

[0058] In this embodiment, the price tag 400 is made of paper, which has the advantages of low cost, ease of printing, and easy replacement. To ensure that the price tag 400 is not easily damaged during use, highly durable paper can be used, and waterproof ink can be used during printing to prevent ink blurring or peeling due to humid environments. In addition, the surface of the paper price tag 400 can be covered with a transparent protective film to increase its abrasion resistance and water resistance, extending its service life.

[0059] In one embodiment of this application, the housing 100 may be made of an impact-resistant plastic material, such as ABS or PC, which has good mechanical strength and weather resistance and can withstand impacts and wear during daily use. The color and design of the housing 100 can be customized to suit different business environments to match the store's decor or brand identity.

[0060] In one embodiment of this application, a sealing strip is also provided at the opening of the housing 100. The sealing strip can be made of soft rubber or silicone material. The function of the sealing strip is to prevent dust and moisture from entering the interior of the price tag assembly, protecting the internal electronic components from contamination and corrosion. At the same time, the sealing strip can also absorb, to a certain extent, the minor displacement caused by temperature changes between the housing 100 and the transparent panel 300, further improving the stability and reliability of the price tag assembly.

[0061] The price tag component provided in this application not only solves the inconvenience of traditional paper price tags in terms of installation, replacement, and reading, but also improves the stability and reliability of the price tag component by introducing innovative designs such as lighting device 200 and magnetic connection, while ensuring the clear visibility of price information in various environments, greatly enhancing the customer's shopping experience and the merchant's operational efficiency.

[0062] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application.
