Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This utility model relates to an electronic label for a refrigerator shelf. [Background Technology]
[0002] In refrigerated display cases used to sell beverages, food, and other products, price tags are typically attached. These tags display prices, brands, and advertisements. Traditionally, a price tag strip is inserted into the front of the shelf (on the side of the refrigerated door). This method suffers from insufficient brightness and poor display quality. Later, electronic signage appeared on the market. For example, patent number 202221070803.0, titled "An Electronic Price Tag Label Component," includes a label strip, a display panel, and a mounting housing. The display panel uses a screen, which is relatively expensive. Furthermore, it is secured to the label strip with a clip, requiring individual mounting of the display panel, making installation inconvenient and costly. [Utility Model Content]

Detailed Implementation Methods
[0031] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0032] Example 1, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an electronic sign for a refrigerated display shelf includes a first mounting frame 1 connected to the front side of the shelf frame 10 (the front side refers to the side near the refrigerated display shelf or container door), and a power supply device 40. In this case, the power supply device 40 is a solar panel. A second mounting frame detachably connected to the first mounting frame 1 is provided on the first mounting frame 1. The first mounting frame 1 and the second mounting frame 2 extend along the left and right directions of the shelf frame 10. The power supply device 40 is located below the first mounting frame 1 and the second mounting frame 2. An LED light strip 3 with its luminous surface facing upwards and powered by the power supply device 40 is provided on the second mounting frame 2. A translucent sign 4 extending vertically above the LED light strip 3 and capable of transmitting light from the LED light strip 3 is provided on the first mounting frame 1. The translucent sign 4 is sheet-shaped and extends along the length direction of the first mounting frame 1. Price, brand, advertisement, promotional image, etc. are displayed on the translucent sign 4. Under the illumination of the LED light strip 3, the translucent sign 4 is illuminated, and the price, brand, advertisement, promotional image, etc. are displayed. It has high brightness, simple structure, and low production cost.
[0033] For ease of installation, the second mounting bracket 2 is provided with a mounting groove 21. The second mounting bracket 2 is snapped onto the front side of the first mounting bracket 1, i.e., the first mounting bracket 1 and the second mounting bracket 2 are arranged one behind the other. The mounting groove 21 has an opening on the front side of the second mounting bracket 2 and is C-shaped. The transparent sign 4 is placed inside the mounting groove 21 and exposed from the front opening of the mounting groove 21, meaning the transparent sign 4 can be seen from the opening of the mounting groove 21. The LED light strip 3 is at the bottom of the mounting groove 21, and the mounting groove 21 covers the LED light strip 3 from the front, meaning the LED light strip 3 is not exposed. The transparent sign 4 is above the LED light strip 3. To prevent light leakage, the two ends of the mounting groove 21 are respectively provided with end caps 26 that cover the two openings along the length of the C-shaped groove. In this way, the end caps 26, the mounting groove 21, and the transparent sign 4 form a relatively enclosed space, reducing the exposure of light from the LED light strip 3.
[0034] For easy engagement, the first mounting bracket 1 is provided with a first clamping groove 11, and the back of the second mounting bracket 2 is provided with a clamping groove 22 that engages with the first clamping groove 11. The clamping groove 22 includes two grooves spaced apart vertically, with the upper clamping groove 22 opening upwards and the lower clamping groove 22 opening downwards. The first clamping groove 11 is a C-shaped groove, and the upper and lower opening edges of the first clamping groove 11 engage with the two clamping grooves 22 one by one. In this way, the first clamping groove 11 clamps the second mounting bracket 2, making engagement convenient.
[0035] To facilitate the fixed installation of the first mounting bracket 1, the first mounting bracket 1 is provided with a plurality of stamped flanges 12 arranged along the length of the first mounting bracket 1 and extending to one side of the shelf frame 10. The stamped flanges 12 are provided with pressing steps 13 that press against the upper end of the shelf frame 10. The pressing steps 13 facilitate positioning during welding. The stamped flanges 12 are fixed to the shelf frame 10 by welding. In this way, the first mounting bracket 1 is fixed and the second mounting bracket 2 can be disassembled.
[0036] Example 2, as Figure 5 and 6 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that the first mounting bracket 1, the second mounting bracket 2, and the transparent sign 4 have some differences in shape.
[0037] Example 3, as Figures 7 to 12 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that the installation structures of the first mounting bracket 1 and the second mounting bracket 2 are different. Specifically, the first mounting bracket 1 and the second mounting bracket 2 are connected vertically to form a light groove 23. The LED light strip 3 is located at the bottom of the light groove 23. The first mounting bracket 1 has a slot 14 above the LED light strip 3 that communicates with the light groove 23. The lower end of the transparent sign 4 is inserted into the slot 14. The transparent sign 4 extends upward and out of the slot 14. The upper end of the transparent sign 4 is higher than the first mounting bracket 1 and the second mounting bracket 2, so that the transparent sign 4 can be seen. The first mounting bracket 1 has an upper lamp cavity 17 with an opening at the lower end, and the second mounting bracket 2 has a lower lamp cavity 27 with an opening at the upper end. After the first mounting bracket 1 and the second mounting bracket 2 are snapped together, the upper lamp cavity 17 and the lower lamp cavity 27 are joined together to form a lamp groove 23. The lower lamp cavity 27 has a bottom edge and a vertical edge, which are connected at an angle to form an L shape. The bottom edge and the vertical edge form a groove with an upper left opening. The upper lamp cavity 17 covers the upper left opening groove to form the lamp groove 23. The first mounting bracket 1 has baffles on both sides along its length to cover the two openings along the length of the lamp groove 23. In this way, the lamp groove 23 forms a relatively closed opening, and the light from the LED light strip 3 is not easily exposed. The lower part of the slot 14 is provided with a plurality of positioning blocks 18 extending along the length of the slot 14. The bottom of the transparent sign 4 is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 41 corresponding to the positioning blocks 18 for the positioning blocks 18 to be inserted into. In this way, after the transparent sign 4 is inserted into the slot 14, the positioning grooves 41 move downward, so that the positioning blocks 18 are inserted into the positioning grooves 41, and the transparent sign 4 is stable.
[0038] For ease of installation, the first mounting bracket 1 is provided with a second clamping groove 15 that clamps onto the shelf frame 10. The second clamping groove 15 has its opening facing downward and is clamped onto the front side rod 20 of the shelf frame 10. The second clamping groove 15 is inverted U-shaped and is located on the front side of the first mounting bracket 1. The front side rod 20 is the front end rod of the shelf frame 10. The shelf frame 10 is provided with a limiting rod 30 that is parallel to and spaced apart from the front side rod 20. The limiting rod 30 is located inside the front side rod 20. The second mounting bracket 2 is located on the front side of the limiting rod 30. After the first mounting bracket 1 is clamped downward onto the front side rod 20, the limiting rod 30 can block the second mounting bracket 2, preventing the second mounting bracket 2 from moving backward. This restricts the electronic signboard from moving backward, making the electronic signboard more stable and preventing it from shaking or swaying.
[0039] To facilitate snap-fitting, the second mounting bracket 2 has an opening at the top and extends along its length for insertion of one end of the first mounting bracket 1. The insertion slot 24 is located at the rear end of the second mounting bracket 2, and the first mounting bracket 1 has a snap-fit groove 16 that engages with the edge of the insertion slot 24. The two edges of the opening of the insertion slot 24 have snap-fit edges 25 of different heights. Two snap-fit grooves 16 are provided, corresponding one-to-one with the snap-fit edges 25. The structure is simple, easy to install, and provides a secure snap-fitting connection.
[0040] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred technical solutions, provides a further detailed explanation of this utility model. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of this utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
