Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic price tag accessories, and in particular to a double-layer display electronic price tag shell. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic shelf labels (ESCs), as a modern commercial information display tool, typically consist of an electronic display screen, internal electronic components, and an interface for communication with external systems. Their main function is to display product prices, promotional information, and inventory status. They are widely used in retail establishments such as supermarkets, convenience stores, and pharmacies, providing customers with clear and real-time product information while also facilitating price management and inventory updates for retailers. In these settings, ESCs are usually fixed to shelves for easy access to product information by customers.

[0003] In practical use, shelves are usually equipped with guide rails to fix electronic price tags. These rails are typically located on the front of the shelf, so when setting up products and electronic price tags, the electronic price tags are fixed in the guide rail directly below or above the product. Taking the guide rail above the product as an example, to facilitate easy viewing for most consumers, the electronic price tag for the top shelf item usually shares a guide rail with the item on the next lower shelf. In this case, because the price tags change from a one-to-one correspondence to a non-one-to-one correspondence, it may cause confusion for consumers, increase the cost of identification, and be inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, a double-layer electronic price tag shell is needed to solve the problem in the existing technology, which, taking the electronic price tag set in the guide rail above the product as an example, in order to facilitate most consumers to view the electronic price tag information, the electronic price tag corresponding to the product on the top shelf usually shares a price tag guide rail with the product on the next lower shelf. At this time, because the price tag changes from the original one-to-one correspondence between top and bottom to a non-one-to-one correspondence, it may cause confusion for consumers, increase the identification cost, and cause inconvenience.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a double-layer electronic price tag shell, including an electronic price tag slot, which is disposed on the back and used to be fixedly connected to an electronic price tag. The electronic price tag slot has a hollow area for displaying information on the electronic price tag. There are two electronic price tag slots, which are arranged vertically to form a double-layer display structure.

[0006] Furthermore, limiting plates are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the electronic price tag slot.

[0007] Furthermore, the inner side of the limiting plate is provided with a buckle strip.

[0008] Furthermore, a support plate is provided below the limiting plate, and one end of the support plate is connected to the lower end of the limiting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the two electronic price tag slots form a single, integrally molded structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the two electronic price tag slots are detachably connected.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a connecting plate, on the upper and lower sides of which are respectively provided guide rail grooves / guide strips. The bottom of the upper electronic price tag groove is provided with a guide strip / guide rail groove, and the top of the lower electronic price tag groove is provided with a guide strip / guide rail groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the edges of the front of the electronic price tag slot protrude outwards.

[0013] Unlike existing technologies, the above technical solution solves the problem of information confusion that may occur in traditional single-layer displays by using a two-layer display method, which improves consumers' recognition efficiency and also facilitates merchants in managing and updating product information.

[0042] Please see Figures 1 to 8 This embodiment provides a double-layer electronic price tag shell, including an electronic price tag slot 1. The electronic price tag slot 1 is disposed on the back and used for fixed connection with an electronic price tag 2. The electronic price tag slot 1 has a hollow area 104, which is used for displaying information on the electronic price tag 2. The hollow area 104 is not smaller than the information display area of ​​the electronic price tag 2 to ensure that the information on the electronic price tag 2 can be clearly displayed. There are two electronic price tag slots 1, which are arranged vertically to form a double-layer display structure. The specific shape of the electronic price tag slot 1 is square, and the four corners are chamfered to reduce the probability of damage caused by collision. The electronic price tag slot 1 can be made of plastic. Plastic has good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, which can effectively protect the electronic price tag 2 from external physical and chemical damage. Plastic also has good insulation properties and will not interfere with the signal transmission of the electronic price tag 2. In addition, plastic is lightweight, easy to install and transport, and reduces the cost of use. By using plastic material, the reliability and stability of the reverse hook-type electronic price tag shell can be ensured in various usage environments, while improving the product's economy and practicality.

[0043] The electronic price tag 2 is inserted into the electronic price tag slot 1 with its front facing the slot, which corresponds precisely to the display area of ​​the electronic price tag 2. The back of the electronic price tag 2 is provided with a snap-fit ​​structure for connection with the price tag guide rail 3. This snap-fit ​​structure protrudes rearward, while the front is the display panel. Once the electronic price tag 2 housing is fixedly connected to the electronic price tag 2, the snap-fit ​​structure on the back of the electronic price tag 2 is completely independent of the housing, and the housing does not obstruct the connection between the snap-fit ​​structure and the price tag guide rail 3.

[0044] In practical use, firstly, the two electronic shelf labels 2 are inserted into the two electronic shelf label slots 1, respectively. At this point, the two slots 1 are secured by snapping into the front display panels of the two electronic shelf labels 2. Then, depending on the specific structure of the shelf label guide 3 or the specific needs of the product arrangement, the upper or lower electronic shelf labels 2 are snapped into the guide 3 to form a double-layered display. This design not only improves the display effect of the electronic shelf labels 2 but also solves the information confusion problem that may occur in traditional single-layer displays through the double-layered display method, improving consumer recognition efficiency and facilitating the management and updating of product information for merchants.

[0045] In some embodiments, limiting plates 101 are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the electronic price tag slot 1. The limiting plates 101 are square plate structures that extend backward perpendicular to the bottom of the electronic price tag slot 1. This design is used to limit the left and right sides of the electronic price tag 2, preventing it from shaking during use, thereby improving the stability of the electronic price tag 2. The setting of the limiting plates 101 ensures that the electronic price tag 2 is more firmly fixed in the electronic price tag slot 1, reducing the risk of displacement or damage to the electronic price tag 2 due to external forces. In this way, the electronic price tag 2 can be stably displayed on the shelf, maintaining its position and orientation stability even when the shelf is subjected to slight collisions or vibrations, ensuring the accuracy of information display.

[0046] In some embodiments, a latching strip 102 is provided on the inner side of the limiting plate 101. The latching strip 102 is an inwardly protruding structure used to adapt to the display panel of the electronic price tag 2. The limiting space formed between the latching strip 102 and the bottom of the electronic price tag slot 1 is adapted to the electronic price tag 2. When the electronic price tag 2 is inserted into the electronic price tag slot 1, the latching strip 102 can abut against the left and right sides of the back of the electronic price tag 2, thereby fixing the electronic price tag 2 in the electronic price tag slot 1. This design not only improves the stability of the electronic price tag 2, but also ensures the firmness of the electronic price tag 2 during installation and use. Through the fixing effect of the latching strip 102, the electronic price tag 2 will not easily loosen or shift in the electronic price tag slot 1, and can maintain a stable display state even under frequent operation or environmental changes.

[0047] In some embodiments, a support plate 103 is provided below the limiting plate 101, with one end of the support plate 103 connected to the lower end of the limiting plate 101. The support plate 103 serves to hold the bottom of the electronic shelf label 2 against it, further improving the stability of the electronic shelf label 2. By providing a support plate 103 below the limiting plate 101, the electronic shelf label 2 is more securely fixed within the electronic shelf label slot 1, reducing the risk of displacement or damage to the electronic shelf label 2 due to external forces. This design ensures the stability of the electronic shelf label 2 during use, maintaining its position and orientation even when the shelf is subjected to slight collisions or vibrations, ensuring the accuracy of information display.

[0048] In some embodiments, the two electronic price tag slots 1 form a single, integrally molded structure. In other embodiments, the two electronic price tag slots 1 are detachably connected. The integrally molded structure reduces assembly steps and connection points, improving overall structural strength and stability. During use, this structure can better withstand various external forces, reducing the risk of structural failure due to loosening or damage at connection points. The integrally molded structure also reduces assembly errors during production, improving product precision and consistency. Furthermore, it reduces material waste, lowers production costs, and increases production efficiency. By adopting an integrally molded structure, the reliability and stability of the double-layer electronic price tag shell 2 during use can be ensured, while simultaneously improving the product's economy and practicality.

[0049] In some embodiments, the two electronic price tag slots 1 are detachably connected. Examples include snap-fit ​​and slot-fit connections, and fastener connections. Snap-fit ​​and slot-fit connections are a common detachable connection method. By setting matching snaps and slots between the two electronic price tag slots 1, the connection and disassembly of the two electronic price tag slots 1 can be quickly achieved. Fastener connections use screws, nuts, or other fasteners to fix the two electronic price tag slots 1 together. The advantage of this design is that the distance and position between the two electronic price tag slots 1 can be flexibly adjusted according to different usage needs, improving the product's versatility and flexibility. At the same time, the detachable connection method also facilitates product maintenance and replacement, reducing usage costs. Preferably, a connecting plate 30 is also included. The upper and lower sides of the connecting plate 30 are respectively provided with guide rail grooves 302 / guide strips 301. The bottom of the upper electronic price tag slot 1 is provided with guide strips 301 / guide rail grooves 302, and the top of the lower electronic price tag slot 1 is provided with guide strips 301 / guide rail grooves 302. The two electronic price tag slots 1 can be detachably connected via the connecting plate 30. Specifically, the guide strip 301 of the upper electronic price tag slot 1 is inserted into the guide rail groove 302 of the connecting plate 30, and the guide rail groove 302 of the lower electronic price tag slot 1 matches the guide strip 301 of the connecting plate 30, thereby achieving a stable connection between the two electronic price tag slots 1. This connection method not only improves the stability of the connection, but also facilitates quick adjustment of the distance and position between the two electronic price tag slots 1 as needed, improving the flexibility and versatility of the product.

[0050] In some embodiments, the four edges of the front of the electronic shelf label slot 1 protrude outwards. This design effectively reduces the probability of the electronic shelf label 2 being impacted. The protruding edges form a protective barrier that absorbs and disperses external impact forces, reducing the direct impact force on the electronic shelf label 2. This design not only improves the service life of the electronic shelf label 2 but also enhances its stability during use. By setting outward protrusions around the four edges of the electronic shelf label slot 1, the electronic shelf label 2 can be better protected from external physical damage, ensuring its reliability and stability in various usage environments.

[0051] It should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described herein, this does not limit the scope of patent protection for this utility model. Therefore, any changes and modifications made to the embodiments described herein based on the innovative concept of this utility model, or equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model's specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applying the above technical solutions to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of protection of this utility model patent.
