Sealing ring Detailed Implementation

[0026] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a cigarette display device with protective function according to this application includes a base 1, a central shaft 2, multiple rotating display discs 3, a counterweight ring 4, and a support bearing 5. These components work together to enable the device to maintain stability and smooth rotation when displaying a large number of cigarettes.

[0028] The base 1 is a flat and sturdy base plate used to support the entire device and ensure its stability during placement. The central shaft 2 is a vertically fixed metal rod, with its lower end fixed to the base 1, extending upwards and passing through all the rotating display trays 3. This central shaft 2 not only serves as a fulcrum for each display tray but also ensures the overall structural stability of the device through its own strength.

[0029] Multiple rotating display trays 3 are mounted at different heights on the central axis 2, and each tray can rotate independently. These trays are typically made of transparent materials, such as acrylic or glass, so that consumers can clearly see the displayed cigarettes. The trays are also designed with a slight tilt to help stabilize the cigarette packs and facilitate easy handling.

[0030] The counterweight ring 4 is a circular counterweight device located below each rotating display tray 3 and fitted onto the central shaft 2. Through precise counterweight design, this ring achieves a balanced state with the weight of the display tray above. This ensures that even if the number of cigarettes placed on different display trays varies, the entire device maintains a stable center of gravity, preventing tilting or jamming due to uneven force, thus providing anti-tilt protection for the cigarette display device.

[0031] Support bearings 5 ​​are located at the contact surface between each rotating display tray 3 and the central shaft 2. These bearings primarily employ ball bearings or flat bearings, significantly reducing friction between the display tray and the central shaft 2 during rotation, thus improving the smoothness and fluidity of the rotation. The support bearings 5, together with the counterweight ring 4, further ensure that the display trays maintain stable rotational performance even when carrying a large quantity of cigarettes.

[0032] Specifically, the base 1 can be a metal plate of moderate thickness, such as stainless steel or cast iron, to which the central shaft 2 is fixed by bolts or welding to provide a solid support. The central shaft 2 can be made of high-strength stainless steel, and its length and diameter need to be customized according to the specific requirements of the display device to ensure sufficient load-bearing capacity. The rotating display plate 3 can be made of injection-molded transparent material, usually in a circular or polygonal shape, with a smooth and flat surface to ensure optimal display of the cigarette boxes. The counterweight ring 4 is made of a high-density material such as lead or steel, and its weight is precisely calculated to ensure balance with the display plate. The support bearing 5 can be a standard industrial ball bearing, and its inner and outer diameters should match the dimensions of the central shaft 2 and the display plate to ensure ease of installation and effective use.

[0033] The aforementioned device solves the problem of tilting and jamming caused by uneven force on the central shaft 2 when the display trays are loaded with too many cigarettes. Specifically, the presence of the balancing weight ring 4 ensures that the device remains stable even when some display trays have a large number of cigarettes, preventing the center of gravity from shifting. At the same time, the support bearing 5 reduces friction during the rotation of the display trays, improves the smoothness of rotation, and ensures easy rotation even under high loads. The effective combination of these designs makes this cigarette display device not only stable under static conditions but also exhibits excellent performance in dynamic use.

[0034] In one embodiment, the base 1 of a cigarette display device with protective function according to this application consists of a horizontal support plate 6 and four uprights 7. The horizontal support plate 6 is fixed to the bottom of the base 1, providing a solid foundation platform for the entire device. The uprights 7 are vertically fixed to the four corners of the horizontal support plate 6. This structural design effectively enhances the stability of the base 1 and prevents it from tilting when carrying a large number of cigarettes.

[0035] Specifically, the horizontal support plate 6 covers the entire bottom plane of the base 1, ensuring its flatness and strength. Four uprights 7 are evenly distributed at the four corners of the horizontal support plate 6 and are securely welded or bolted to it. This connection method not only improves the vertical support force of the uprights 7 but also enhances the overall rigidity of the base 1. The height of the uprights 7 is set according to actual needs to adapt to the requirements of different display scenarios.

[0036] For example, precision machining can be used to ensure a smooth and seamless contact surface between the column 7 and the horizontal support plate 6, which can then be secured with high-strength bolts. This not only ensures the stability of the structure but also facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement. Furthermore, to further improve the load-bearing capacity and deformation resistance of the base 1, corrosion-resistant and high-strength materials, such as stainless steel or high-strength aluminum alloy, can be selected for manufacturing the horizontal support plate 6 and the column 7.

[0037] In one embodiment, a top cover 8 is provided on the top of the central shaft 2 of a cigarette display device with protective function according to this application, and a plurality of reinforcing rods 9 are provided between the top cover 8 and the base 1. These reinforcing rods 9 connect the top cover 8 and the base 1, increasing the structural strength of the entire device and ensuring that the central shaft 2 is not prone to tilting or jamming under load. Specifically, the number of reinforcing rods 9 is determined according to actual needs and can be four, six or more. This multi-point fixing method not only enhances the stability of the central shaft 2, but also improves the compressive strength of the entire display device.

[0038] In one embodiment, the reinforcing rods 9 are arranged in an X-shape, providing multi-directional support and effectively preventing the central shaft 2 from shifting or deforming due to excessive load from the multi-layer rotating display disc 3. For example, the top cover 8 is located at the top of the central shaft 2 and is vertically connected to it. The base 1 is placed at the bottom, providing stable support for the entire device. The reinforcing rods 9 are arranged obliquely from the top cover 8 to the base 1, forming an X-shaped structure, ensuring that the load is effectively distributed from all directions. The reinforcing rods 9 can be fixed to the top cover 8 and the base 1 by welding or bolting to achieve a reliable connection.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the rotating display disc 3 of a cigarette display device with protective function according to this application consists of a circular platform 10 and multiple flanges 11. The circular platform 10 is connected to the central shaft 2 through multiple evenly distributed fixing holes 12, and elastic gaskets 13 are provided inside the fixing holes 12. The flanges 11 are evenly arranged along the edge of the circular platform 10 to increase the overall rigidity of the platform and reduce deformation caused by uneven load. Specifically, the connection between the circular platform 10 and the central shaft 2 is achieved through multiple fixing holes 12, which are evenly distributed on the circular platform 10 to ensure that the platform is stable and reliable. Each fixing hole 12 has an elastic gasket 13 inside. When the rotating display disc 3 is installed on the central shaft 2, the elastic gasket 13 can generate a slight preload in the hole, effectively increasing the fixing effect of the rotating display disc 3 on the central shaft 2 and preventing loosening or falling off due to vibration.

[0040] In one embodiment, the height and width of the flange 11 are adjusted according to actual display needs. This effectively prevents cigarettes from falling off the display tray and increases friction to prevent the tray from slipping when carrying heavy objects, ensuring the reliability and stability of the display. Specifically, this can be achieved by precisely controlling the size and shape of the flange 11. For example, the flange 11 can be designed with a beveled structure to better guide and protect the cigarettes, while increasing surface roughness to improve friction.

[0041] refer to Figure 3 In one embodiment, the balance weight ring 4 of the cigarette display device with protective function of this application is composed of multiple segmented weight blocks 14, which are connected by hinges 15. This design allows the balance weight ring 4 to flexibly adjust its position during the rotation of the display tray to adapt to different positions and weight distributions, thereby maintaining the optimal balance of the entire device. In addition, each segmented weight block 14 is provided with a fine-tuning screw 16 inside, which can precisely adjust the weight distribution of the weight block to ensure that the balance weight ring 4 under each rotating display tray 3 can achieve the optimal balance effect and reduce the stress on the central shaft 2. To further improve the durability and cleanliness of the device, the balance weight ring 4 is provided with a wear-resistant coating 17 on its exterior. This coating not only reduces the friction between the balance weight ring 4 and the rotating display tray 3 and extends its service life, but also prevents particulate matter generated by wear from polluting the display environment, ensuring the overall cleanliness and hygiene of the device.

[0042] In one embodiment, the segmented counterweights 14 can be connected by high-weather-resistant hinges 15 to ensure that the counterweights can swing flexibly when the display plate rotates. A fine-tuning screw 16 can be pre-fixed in a threaded hole inside the counterweight, allowing the user or installer to increase or decrease the effective mass of the counterweight by rotating the screw 16. A wear-resistant coating 17 can be applied to the surface of the balance ring 4 using a high-strength polymer material, either by spraying or dipping. The coating thickness needs to be strictly controlled to ensure sufficient wear resistance without affecting the flexibility and rotational accuracy of the balance ring 4.

[0043] refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment, a key feature of the cigarette display device with protective function of this application is that the support bearing 5 adopts a double-row ball bearing 18. The double-row ball bearing 18 can effectively reduce rotational friction while bearing a large load, ensuring that the rotating display disc 3 can still rotate smoothly when carrying heavy objects, thereby improving the user's operating experience. Specifically, the double-row ball bearing 18 consists of two independent ball tracks, with the inner and outer rings connected to different fixed or moving parts to ensure uniform load distribution and stable rotation. Furthermore, the double-row ball bearing 18 also has high load capacity and low friction, enabling it to adapt to relatively harsh working environments.

[0044] In one embodiment, a sealing ring 19 is provided between the inner and outer rings of the double-row ball bearing 18. The main function of the sealing ring 19 is to prevent external dust and contaminants from entering the bearing, ensuring the bearing's normal operation over a long period, thereby further improving the reliability and durability of the entire assembly. The sealing ring 19 is typically made of a wear-resistant material and fits tightly in the gap between the inner and outer rings, forming an effective dust barrier. For example, the sealing ring 19 can be installed on the inner side of the outer ring by interference fit or fixed to the outer side of the inner ring by a slot, ensuring its stability and effectiveness.

[0045] In actual operation, when this device is in use, the base 1 first undertakes the crucial task of supporting the entire device, ensuring that the display device remains stable under various conditions and does not shake or tip over. The central shaft 2 is vertically fixed to the base 1, serving as the support point for multiple rotating display trays 3. This not only ensures the orderly arrangement of the display trays but also provides a stable connection, allowing each tray to rotate independently and freely, facilitating customers to view and select cigarette products from different angles. To maintain the dynamic balance of the entire device, each rotating display tray 3 is equipped with a balancing counterweight ring 4. This ring works in conjunction with the weight of the display tray. Through scientific design and precise proportioning, the central shaft 2 can be evenly stressed even when loaded with different quantities and types of cigarettes, preventing tilting or jamming caused by uneven weight distribution. Simultaneously, each rotating display tray 3 is connected to the central shaft 2 by a support bearing 5. This design significantly reduces friction during tray rotation, greatly improving the smoothness and fluidity of the rotation. When customers touch the display tray and select products, the synergistic effect of the support bearing 5 and the counterweight ring 4 ensures that the display tray can rotate smoothly and stably under the load, which not only enhances the customer's shopping experience but also extends the service life of the display device.

[0046] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application, and these should all be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
