Detailed Implementation

[0024] 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.

[0025] As shown in Figures 1-5, the shelf in this embodiment of the present invention includes a shelf body 200 and one or more product pushers 100 installed on the shelf body 200.

[0026] The merchandise pusher 100 includes a push block 101 and a coil spring 102 mounted on the push block 101. A reinforcing wheel assembly is provided at the rear of the lower end of the push block 101 to enhance the stability of the push block 101's movement and the assembly strength between the push block 101 and the merchandise display equipment, thereby improving the automatic sorting performance of the merchandise pusher. The reinforcing wheel assembly includes a roller frame 103, a roller 104, and a hook 105. The roller frame 103 is connected to the push block 101, the roller 104 is rotatably mounted on the roller frame 103, one end of the hook 105 is connected to the roller frame 103, and the other end is provided with a hook portion 106. The hook portion 106 is used to hook other components of the merchandise display equipment to replenish merchandise. The specific structure can be as follows: the roller frame 103 is connected to the middle position of the lower end of the push block 101, the roller 104 is provided with a rotating shaft 107, and is rotatably mounted on the roller frame 103 through the rotating shaft 107, as shown in Figures 3-5. The rotating shaft 107 is integrally formed at the middle position of the left and right side surfaces of the roller 104 (for example, the rotating shaft 107 and the roller 104 are integrally injection molded), and the two rotating shafts 107 are coaxial with the roller 104 and are symmetrical from left to right; one end of the hook 105 is provided with two connecting arms 108, and the end of the connecting arm 108 is provided with a connecting ring 109. The connecting ring 109 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 107, so that the hook 105 is rotatably connected to the push block 101, which facilitates the operation of the hook 105 to hook or detach from other components of the merchandise display equipment. In addition, the other end of the hook 105 is provided with an operating part 110. The operating part 110 can be a toggle piece that bends forward at the upper end. Preferably, the operating part 110 and the hook 105 are integrally injection molded. Through the operating part 110, the convenience of moving the push block 101 backward is improved, and the operability of the hook 105 is further enhanced, making the operation more convenient.

[0027] As shown in Figures 1-5, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the push block 101 is further provided with an extension push block 111. The extension push block 111 is movably mounted on the push surface 112 of the push block 101 to increase the range of the push block 101's pushing action on the goods. The user can adjust the relative position of the extension push block 111 on the push block 101 according to the desired size of the goods to be displayed, thereby ensuring the pushing action on the goods, making it flexible and convenient to use. The extension push block 111 and the push surface 112 of the push block 101 are rotatably connected. Specifically, the push surface 112 is provided with a first rotating seat 116. Preferably, the push surface 112 has a recessed surface, and the first rotating seat 116 is disposed on this recessed surface. The extension push block 111 is provided with a second rotating seat 117. The first rotating seat 116 and the second rotating seat 117 are matched and assembled together, so that the extension push block 111 is rotatably mounted on the push surface 112 of the push block 101.

[0028] Of course, the extension pusher 111 and the push surface 112 of the pusher block 101 can also be translatably connected. The specific structure can be: the push surface 112 is provided with a strip groove, the strip groove extends upward and / or to the left and right, the extension pusher 111 is provided with a slider, the slider is movably locked in the strip groove, so that the extension pusher 111 can be translatably installed on the push surface 112 of the pusher block 101.

[0029] As shown in Figures 1-5, in another preferred embodiment of this utility model, the product pusher further includes a partition plate 113. The push block 101 is mounted on the partition plate 113 and can move along the length of the partition plate 113. Specifically, the partition plate 113 has two sliding grooves 114 extending along its length on its surface. One end of the push block 101 has two sliders 115, which are slidably engaged in the two sliding grooves 114. The outer end of the coil spring 102 mounted on the push block 101 is connected to the front end of the partition plate 113 to drive the push block 101 to move towards the front end of the partition plate 113. The roller 104 abuts against the surface of the partition plate 113 and rolls on the surface of the partition plate 113 with the moving push block 101. When the push block 101 moves to the rear end of the partition plate 113, the hook 106 of the hook 105 hooks the rear end of the partition plate 113. In this way, this product pusher not only has the function of pushing products, but also the function of separating products. The product pusher can be directly installed on the shelf through the partition plate 113.

[0030] As shown in Figures 1 and 6, the front end of the shelf body 200 of the shelf described in this utility model is further provided with a front baffle assembly 201. The front baffle assembly 201 includes a front baffle bracket 202 and a price tag holder 203. The price tag holder 203 can be flipped upwards and mounted on the front baffle bracket 202. Specifically, an approximately U-shaped hanging part 205 is provided at the upper end of the price tag holder 203, which is hung on the horizontal baffle 204 of the front baffle bracket 202. In this way, the price tag holder 203 will not cause interference when taking down the lower shelf goods, and the price tag holder 203 can also avoid falling or being damaged by collision. Moreover, the front baffle bracket 202 has two or more layers of horizontal baffles 204. Users can assemble the price tag holder 203 on one layer of horizontal baffles 204 as needed to better display goods and avoid the risk of the price tag holder 203 being collided with.

[0031] 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.
