Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic price tag box technology, specifically to an electronic price tag box for cigarette retail. Background Technology

[0002] Price tags, or price labels for short, are a form of information used by businesses to display prices to customers. The main content of a price tag typically includes: product number, product name, country of origin, specifications, brand, grade, unit of measurement, and price. However, currently, cigarette price tags are still placed inside the cigarette box for display. The content of the tags cannot be modified. Because cigarettes come from many countries, prices fluctuate frequently, and different brands have significantly different names, price tags need to be replaced every time the product is changed at the retail level. The previous paper tags are then rendered unusable and cannot be reused, resulting in a waste of resources. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems to a certain extent, and to propose an electronic price tag box for cigarette retail. When the product is changed, the relevant label content of the cigarette can be easily replaced. It can be reused and avoids waste of resources.

[0004] The above-mentioned problems to be solved by this utility model are achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] An electronic price tag box for cigarette retail is proposed, including a display component and a control component. The display component includes a display screen, a first housing, and a first cover plate. The front of the first housing is recessed inward to provide a display groove, and the side of the first housing is connected to the display groove to provide a first slot. The display screen is inserted into the first housing from the first slot, and the display area of ​​the display screen is exposed at the position of the display groove.

[0006] The first cover plate is assembled and connected to the first housing, wherein the mounting part of the first cover plate is inserted into the second slot provided on the back of the first housing, and the limiting part of the first cover plate seals the first slot and the second slot.

[0007] The control assembly includes a second housing, a power supply, a controller, and a second cover plate. The power supply and the controller are both housed within the second housing. The second cover plate seals the opening of the second housing to secure the power supply and the controller within the second housing. The power supply is electrically connected to the controller, and the male connector of the controller is plugged into the female connector of the display screen.

[0008] In some embodiments, the first housing has a first notch through which the bus socket of the display screen passes, and the second housing has a second notch through which the male socket of the controller passes.

[0009] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the mounting portion of the first cover plate is provided with an auxiliary latching groove.

[0010] In some embodiments, the first housing is provided with a locking block, which engages with a slot provided in the mounting portion when the first cover plate is inserted.

[0011] In some embodiments, a hanging clip is provided on the back of the first housing.

[0012] In some embodiments, the second cover plate has a through-hole charging port.

[0013] The technical solution provided in this application has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0014] When the contents of the price tag box need to be changed, the relevant information of the corresponding product is uploaded to the controller. The power supply provides power to the controller and the display screen, and the controller's male socket is connected to the display screen's female socket. This allows the relevant information of the corresponding product stored in the controller to be displayed on the display screen. The product content is displayed in the form of an electronic screen, which makes it convenient to change the relevant label content of cigarettes when changing the product. It can also be reused to avoid waste of resources. Attached Figure Description

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model proposes an electronic price tag box for cigarette retail, including a display component 1 and a control component 2. The display component 1 includes a display screen 3, a first housing 4 and a first cover plate 5. The front of the first housing 4 is recessed inward and has a display groove. The side of the first housing 4 is connected to the display groove and has a first slot 6. The display screen 3 is inserted into the first housing 4 through the first slot 6 and the display area of ​​the display screen 3 is exposed in the position of the display groove. The first housing 4 has a first notch and the bus socket of the display screen 3 is set through the first notch.

[0026] Reference Figure 2-3 As shown, the first cover plate 5 is assembled and connected to the first housing 4. Specifically, when the first cover plate 5 is assembled onto the first housing 4, the mounting part of the first cover plate 5 is inserted into the second slot 7 provided on the back of the first housing 4, and when the limiting part of the first cover plate 5 seals the first slot 6 and the second slot 7, the first cover plate 5 and the first housing 4 are assembled in place.

[0027] Furthermore, the first housing 4 is provided with a clamping block 8, which is inserted into the slot 9 provided in the mounting part as the first cover plate 5 is inserted, thereby improving the stability of the position of the first cover plate 5 after assembly. At the same time, an auxiliary buckle groove 10 is provided on the outer surface of the mounting part of the first cover plate 5, which is used to make it easier for the first cover plate 5 to be removed from the first housing 4.

[0028] The back of the first housing 4 is provided with a clip 11, so that the assembled display component 1 and control component 2 can be attached to the cigarette holder in the retail display case by clipping the clip 11, so as to facilitate the placement of price tag boxes.

[0029] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the control assembly 2 includes a second housing 12, a power supply 13, a controller 14, and a second cover plate 15. The power supply 13 and the controller 14 are both placed inside the second housing 12. The second housing 12 has a second notch, through which the male wire socket of the controller 14 passes. The second cover plate 15 seals the opening of the second housing 12 to fix the power supply 13 and the controller 14 inside the second housing 12. The power supply 13 is electrically connected to the controller 14, and the male wire socket of the controller 14 is plugged into the female wire socket of the display screen 3, thereby assembling and connecting the display assembly 1 and the control assembly 2.

[0030] Furthermore, the second cover plate 15 is provided with a charging port 16, which allows the charging interface of the power supply 13 to be located at the charging port 16, so as to facilitate charging of the power supply 13.

[0031] In this embodiment, when the contents of the price tag box need to be changed, the relevant information of the corresponding product is uploaded to the controller 14. Then, the male socket of the controller 14 is connected to the female socket of the display screen 3 to assemble and connect the display component 1 and the control component 2. The power supply 13 provides power to the controller 14 and the display screen 3. By connecting the male socket of the controller 14 to the female socket of the display screen 3, the relevant information of the corresponding product stored in the controller 14 can be displayed on the display screen 3. The product content is displayed in the form of an electronic screen, so that the relevant label content of cigarettes can be easily changed when the product is changed. It can also be reused to avoid waste of resources.

[0032] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of the specification and drawings of this utility model, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
