Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of commodity display equipment, and specifically relates to a slide with a buffer function for commodity display equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Freezers and shelves have become the most common merchandise display equipment. Some freezers and shelves are equipped with slides on their shelves to automate product handling, transporting goods automatically to the front of the shelf. However, existing shelves often experience problems when transporting goods to the front. The increasing speed of the goods moving from back to front causes them to violently impact the front panel of the shelf, damaging both the goods and the shelf. This affects sales and the shelf's lifespan. In some cases, goods may even tip over the front panel and fall to the ground, causing further damage. Therefore, the automatic product handling performance of these shelves is unstable and unreliable. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a slide with a buffer function.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] This utility model provides a slide with a buffer function, including a slide body, with a front end and a rear end respectively provided at the front and rear ends of the slide body, and at least the upper surface of the front end is provided with a buffer part to buffer and reduce the moving speed of goods transported from back to front to the front end of the slide.
[0006] Furthermore, the buffer portion is a sloped surface, curved surface, or friction-enhancing surface provided on the upper surface of the end.
[0007] Furthermore, the slope is a plane or arc-shaped surface that slopes upward from back to front.
[0008] Furthermore, the upper surface of the front end head slopes upward from back to front to form the slope, and the slope is integrated with the front end head.
[0009] Furthermore, the upper surface of the front end has one or more protrusions arranged side by side at intervals. The upper surface of the protrusion is a plane or arc-shaped surface that slopes upward from back to front, and the rear end of the plane or arc-shaped surface smoothly transitions with the upper surface of the front end to form the slope.
[0010] Furthermore, the protrusion and the front end are an integrated structure, or the protrusion is detachably assembled to the front end.
[0011] Furthermore, the slope has an inclination of 5° to 15°.
[0012] Furthermore, the upper surface of the front end is provided with a friction-enhancing pad to form the friction-enhancing surface.
[0013] Furthermore, the slide body is a roller slide or a guide slide.
[0014] Furthermore, the roller slide is used as a shelf for displaying pet supplies, and the roller spacing is 3.5 to 4.1 mm.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] This utility model, through the above-mentioned technical solution, buffers and reduces the forward movement speed of goods when they are conveyed to the front end, so that the goods move smoothly to the front of the slide. This not only prevents the goods from tipping over the front of the shelf due to excessive speed and falling off, but also improves the automatic sorting performance of the shelf and prevents the front of the shelf from being damaged by the impact of goods moving at excessive speed for a long time, thus extending the service life of the shelf and improving the safety of the goods display.

[0020] Explanation of reference numerals in the attached diagram: 1. Slide body, 2. Front end, 3. Rear end, 4. Slope, 5. Roller. Detailed Implementation
[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
[0022] like Figures 1-3As shown in the figure, the slide with buffer function described in this embodiment of the utility model includes a slide body 1, which is a roller slide (or a guide plate). The slide body 1 has a front end 2 and a rear end 3 at its front and rear ends, respectively, and at least the upper surface of the front end 2 has a buffer portion to buffer and reduce the moving speed of goods transported from back to front to the front end of the slide. The buffer portion can be a slope 4 provided on the upper surface of the end head. The slope 4 is a plane or arc-shaped surface that slopes upward from back to front. Specifically, the upper surface of the front end 2 slopes upward from back to front to form the slope 4, and the slope 4 has an inclination of 5° to 15°. The slope 4 and the front end 2 are integrated, for example, integrally injection molded.
[0023] When the slide rail described in this utility model is installed on a shelf, it achieves automatic product sorting from back to front by tilting downwards from back to front, or by pushing the product forwards. Moreover, when the product is transported to the front end 2, the buffer section reduces the product's forward movement speed, allowing the product to move smoothly to the front end of the slide rail (i.e., the front end of the shelf). This prevents the product from tipping over the front barrier and falling off the shelf due to excessive speed when it reaches the front end, thus improving the automatic product sorting performance of the shelf. It also prevents the front barrier from being damaged by the impact of the product at excessive speed for a long time, extending the service life of the shelf and improving the safety of product display.
[0024] Of course, the upper surface of the front end 2 is provided with one or more protrusions arranged side by side at intervals. The upper surface of the protrusion is a plane or arc-shaped surface that slopes upward from back to front, and the rear end of the plane or arc-shaped surface smoothly transitions with the upper surface of the front end 2 to form the slope 4. Moreover, the protrusion and the front end 2 are an integral structure, or the protrusion is detachably assembled on the front end 2 (for example, the protrusion is assembled on the front end 2 by a snap-fit structure). Users can replace protrusions with different inclinations according to the goods being transported, making it more convenient to use.
[0025] In addition, the buffer part can also be a curved surface provided on the upper surface of the end head, for example: a wavy area is provided on the upper surface of the front end head 2, and the wavy area and the front end head 2 can be integrally injection molded; it can also be a friction-enhancing surface provided on the upper surface of the end head, specifically, a friction-enhancing pad is provided on the upper surface of the front end head 2 to form the friction-enhancing surface, for example: the friction-enhancing pad is a rubber pad and is bonded to the upper surface of the front end head 2 to form the friction-enhancing surface.
[0026] In addition, when the slide rail described in this utility model is a roller slide rail and is used to install on a shelf for displaying pet supplies, such as for displaying (bagged) cat litter products, the spacing between the rollers 5 of the roller slide rail is 3.5 to 4.1 mm. This not only meets the automatic sorting and conveying requirements of (bagged) cat litter products, but also prevents cat litter leaking from (bagged) cat litter products from falling into and getting stuck between two adjacent rollers of the slide rail, thus affecting the conveying performance of the slide rail and making the performance of the slide rail stable and reliable.
[0027] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
