Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of guardrail technology, and in particular to a guardrail for a supermarket checkout counter. Background Technology
[0002] In the daily operation of a supermarket, the checkout counter is a key area for customers to pay. Checkout counter railings are used to separate queuing customers, guide the flow of people, and prevent queue jumping, crowding and chaos. This ensures that customers queue along designated routes to pay and that the checkout process is smooth.
[0003] Since the guardrails only serve a single function of separation and do not provide an area for placing items, it is inconvenient for customers to place their many items while queuing, which can easily cause items to scatter and affect the queuing order. In view of the above reasons, this application proposes a guardrail for supermarket checkout counters. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the problems existing in the background technology by proposing a guardrail for supermarket checkout counters.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model: a guardrail for a supermarket checkout counter, comprising multiple bases, each base having a vertical rod fixedly mounted on its top for installation, the external side of each vertical rod having two sets of internal threaded holes and two horizontal plates for limiting positioning, and the vertical rod having a placement structure for placing items.
[0006] The placement structure includes a mounting ring for installation, an external mounting base for connection, an internal mounting groove, a movably mounted connecting rod within the mounting groove, and a movably mounted support plate for placing items at one end of the connecting rod.
[0007] Optionally, the top of the horizontal plate is provided with a positioning hole, and the bottom of the mounting ring is fixedly provided with two positioning rods, which are adapted to the positioning hole.
[0008] Optionally, a rotating block and a connecting disk one are fixedly provided at both ends of the connecting rod, the rotating block and the mounting groove are movably connected, and a connecting disk two is fixedly provided on one side of the support plate, the connecting disk two and the connecting disk one are movably connected.
[0009] Optionally, the surface of the first connecting plate near the second connecting plate is provided with two limiting grooves, and the second connecting plate is fixedly provided with two limiting pieces on one side, and the limiting pieces and the limiting grooves are movably connected.
[0010] Optionally, a vertical plate and a column are fixedly provided in the mounting groove, and magnets are fixedly provided on the front of the connecting rod and one side of the vertical plate.
[0011] Optionally, two connecting structures are provided between adjacent vertical rods. Each connecting structure includes an internally threaded sleeve for installation. Two horizontal rods are movably installed inside the internally threaded sleeve, and the ends of the two horizontal rods that are far apart are respectively movably connected to the internally threaded holes on the surface of the vertical rod.
[0012] Optionally, the crossbar is provided with a thread on its exterior that is compatible with the internal threaded sleeve, and a threaded post is fixedly provided at the far ends of the two crossbars, and the threaded post is movably connected to the internal threaded hole.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0014] 1. This utility model, through the installation of a ring, positioning rod, rotating block, magnet and support plate, allows the support plate to be unfolded while waiting for payment, and the goods to be placed on top of it. This effectively prevents the goods from scattering due to the aisle, providing convenience for customers. After use, the support plate can be quickly stored away, saving aisle space.
[0015] 2. This utility model, through the setting of internal threaded sleeve, crossbar, threaded post and internal threaded hole, allows for micro-adjustment of the length of the connecting structure by rotating the crossbar before assembly, thereby changing the overall length of the guardrail.

[0033] Example
[0034] like Figure 1-5As shown, the present invention proposes a guardrail for a supermarket checkout counter, which includes multiple bases 1. Each of the multiple bases 1 is fixedly provided with a vertical rod 2 for installation. The outside of the vertical rod 2 is provided with two sets of internal threaded holes 3 and two horizontal plates 4 for limiting. The vertical rod 2 is provided with a placement structure 5 for placing items.
[0035] The placement structure 5 includes a mounting ring 501 for installation. A positioning hole is provided at the top of the horizontal plate 4. Two positioning rods 502 are fixedly provided at the bottom of the mounting ring 501. The positioning rods 502 are adapted to the positioning hole, and the cooperation between the positioning rods 502 and the horizontal plate 4 can limit the mounting ring 501, preventing it from rotating. A mounting seat 503 for connection is provided on the outside of the mounting ring 501. A mounting groove 504 is provided inside the mounting seat 503. A connecting rod 506 is movably installed in the mounting groove 504. A support plate 511 for placing items is movably installed at one end of the connecting rod 506. A rotating block 505 and a connecting plate 507 are fixedly provided at both ends of the connecting rod 506, respectively. The rotating block 505 is movably connected to the mounting groove 504. A connecting plate 509 is fixedly provided on one side of the support plate 511. The second plate 509 and the first plate 507 are movably connected. The first plate 507 has two limiting grooves 508 on one side of the surface near the second plate 509. The second plate 509 has two limiting pieces 510 fixed on one side. The limiting pieces 510 and the limiting grooves 508 are movably connected. The limiting pieces 510 and the limiting grooves 508 can limit the rotation angle of the support plate 511 to prevent excessive rotation from causing the support plate 511 to tilt and the goods to slip off. The mounting groove 504 has a vertical plate 513 and a column 512 fixed inside. The column 512 can limit the rotation angle of the connecting rod 506. The front of the connecting rod 506 and one side of the vertical plate 513 are both fixed with magnets 514. When the support plate 511 is retracted, the two magnets 514 attract each other to prevent the support plate 511 from unfolding automatically.
[0036] Two connecting structures 6 are provided between adjacent vertical rods 2. The connecting structure 6 includes an internally threaded sleeve 601 for installation. Two horizontal rods 602 are movably provided inside the internally threaded sleeve 601. The ends of the two horizontal rods 602 that are far apart are respectively movably connected to the internally threaded holes 3 on the surface of the vertical rod 2. The outside of the horizontal rods 602 is provided with threads that are compatible with the internally threaded sleeve 601. The ends of the two horizontal rods 602 that are far apart are respectively fixed with threaded posts 603. The threaded posts 603 are movably connected to the internally threaded holes 3.
[0037] In this embodiment, the connecting structure 6 can be adjusted by rotating the crossbar 602 to adjust the overall length of the guardrail. If the ends of the two crossbars 602 are already in contact and the guardrail is too long, the two crossbars 602 can be rotated counterclockwise to disengage the threaded post 603 from the internal threaded hole 3. By reducing the number of vertical bars 2, the overall length of the guardrail can be shortened. If goods need to be placed while waiting for payment, the side of the support plate 511 away from the connecting rod 506 should be pulled away from the vertical bar 2. The support plate 511 will drive the rotating block 505 to rotate in the mounting groove 504. When the connecting rod 506 and the post 512 are in contact, the overall length of the guardrail can be adjusted. When the plates are in place, they cannot be rotated further. Then, rotate the support plate 511 counterclockwise by 90 degrees until it is parallel to the ground. At this point, the placement structure 5 is in an unfolded state. People waiting to pay can place their goods on top of the support plate 511. After use, rotate the support plate 511 clockwise by 90 degrees until it is in a vertical state with its support surface perpendicular to the ground. Then, rotate the support plate 511 towards the vertical rod 2. The support plate 511 drives the connecting rod 506 and the rotating block 505. When the magnet 514 on the connecting rod 506 and the magnet 514 on the vertical plate 513 are attracted, the support plate 511 is stored.
[0038] The above specific embodiments are merely several optional embodiments of this utility model. Based on the technical solution of this utility model and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
