[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 8 This embodiment provides a reverse hook-type electronic price tag shell, including a structural frame 10, a price tag fixing part 20 on the back of the structural frame, the price tag fixing part 20 being used to fix the front of the electronic price tag 50; and a hook part 30, the hook part 30 being disposed at the bottom of the structural frame 10 and the hook part 30 facing the front.

[0035] The structural frame 10 can be square in shape, with chamfered corners at all four sides. This not only improves aesthetics but also reduces the probability of damage from collisions. The hook part 30 can refer to existing hook designs. For example, a common hook design is a curved hook shape, where the curved part can use a smooth curve transition to reduce friction and wear on the hanging strip during suspension. Another design is a hook with a spring, which, through the elasticity of the spring, can better adapt to hanging strips of different thicknesses, ensuring stable suspension of the hanging strip.

[0036] The specific structure of the price tag fixing part 20 can refer to various structures for fixing the electronic price tag 50 mentioned in the applicant's authorized patents. For example, it includes a rear support plate with snap-fit ​​slide rails at the top and bottom of the rear support plate, forming a C-shaped structure that allows the electronic price tag 50 to be snapped in and fixed. The price tag fixing part 20 can also be an open-top guide rail groove, in which the electronic price tag 50 can be placed to achieve the effect of fixing the electronic price tag 50. The price tag fixing part 20 can also adopt a structure combining a support plate and a transparent cover plate. The support plate supports the electronic price tag 50, and then the transparent cover plate is closed to fix the electronic price tag 50. For the specific structure, please refer to the applicant's recently authorized patent, patent publication number CN218181752U, which describes an electronic price tag 50 guide rail. It will not be described in detail here.

[0037] During use, first, place the electronic shelf label 50 with its front facing the back of the structural frame 10 and secure it to the shelf label fixing part 20. This connection method can employ various detachable fixing methods, such as snap-fit ​​connections and magnetic connections, to ensure the stability of the electronic shelf label 50 during use. After completing the connection and fixing of the reverse hook-type electronic shelf label shell to the electronic shelf label 50, connect the rear structure of the electronic shelf label 50 to the shelf label guide rail, thus fixing the entire unit to the shelf. Finally, connect the hanging strip to the hook part 30 to complete the corresponding setup of the product and the electronic shelf label 50. This not only ensures the fixed stability of the electronic shelf label 50 but also allows the hanging strip to be directly connected to the hook part 30 through the reverse hook method, reducing the need for additional storage racks and improving ease of use.

[0038] This utility model uses a structural frame 10 and a price tag fixing part 20 to fix the electronic price tag 50 together. A hook part 30 is provided at the bottom of the structural frame 10. The hook part 30 is adapted to a hanging strip. By utilizing the existing fixed connection between the electronic price tag 50 and the price tag guide rail, the structural frame 10, the price tag fixing part 20 and the hook part 30 are integrated together. The hanging strip can be directly connected to the hook part 30 and set in correspondence with the electronic price tag 50. There is no need to arrange an additional storage rack, which improves convenience and practicality.

[0039] In some embodiments, the price tag fixing part 20 and the electronic price tag 50 are fixedly connected in a detachable manner. For example, a magnetic connection can be used, where magnets are respectively provided on the price tag fixing part 20 and the electronic price tag 50, and the electronic price tag 50 is fixed to the structural frame 10 by magnetic force. This method is not only simple to operate, but also ensures the stability of the electronic price tag 50 during use. In addition, a slot connection can be used, where a slot is provided on the back of the structural frame 10, and the electronic price tag 50 is inserted into the slot for fixation. This design can be adjusted according to the size of the electronic price tag 50 to accommodate different models of electronic price tags 50, improving the versatility and flexibility of the price tag shell. Preferably, a snap-fit ​​connection can be used, where the price tag fixing part 20 consists of multiple snap-fit ​​pieces, which are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides or the left and right sides of the structural frame 10. By providing multiple snap-fit ​​pieces on the back of the structural frame 10, these snap-fit ​​pieces can match the slots on the electronic price tag 50, achieving quick fixing and disassembly. When installing the electronic shelf label 50, align the top and bottom or left and right sides of the electronic shelf label 50 with the snap-fit ​​tabs, and then gently press to engage the sides of the electronic shelf label 50 with the barbs, thus achieving a secure fixation. This snap-fit ​​method is simple and quick, requiring no additional tools or complicated procedures to complete the installation and removal of the electronic shelf label 50. The design of multiple snap-fit ​​tabs also provides more even support, reducing the shaking or shifting of the electronic shelf label 50 due to external forces during use, and improving the stability of the electronic shelf label 50.

[0040] Since the electronic price tag 50 has a barcode on its side, in order not to obscure the barcode, preferably, the buckle pieces are respectively set on the upper and lower sides of the structural frame 10, which can effectively avoid obscuring the barcode while ensuring the stability of fixing the electronic price tag 50.

[0041] In some embodiments, the bottom of the structural frame 10 is provided with an arched structure 40, and the proximal end of the hook portion 30 is connected to the bottom of the arched structure 40. The arched structure 40 and the bottom edge of the structural frame 10 form a trapezoid, with the upper base of the trapezoid longer than the lower base, and the proximal end of the hook portion 30 is connected to the lower base. This not only increases the stability of the structure but also provides sufficient space for the hook portion 30, allowing it to better fit the hanging strip. The arched structure 40 enables the hook portion 30 to evenly distribute the force to the bottom of the structural frame 10 when bearing the weight of the hanging strip, reducing local stress concentration and improving the overall load-bearing capacity. Simultaneously, the trapezoidal design also makes the hook portion 30 more stable during use, reducing swaying or displacement caused by external forces, ensuring the stability of the electronic price tag 50 and the hanging strip during use.

[0042] In some embodiments, the distal end of the hook portion 30 is spherical. Firstly, the spherical distal end effectively prevents the hanging strip from falling off during suspension. The spherical structure provides a larger contact area and more stable support, making the hanging strip more secure and reducing the risk of slippage or detachment due to external forces. Secondly, the spherical distal end also prevents puncture damage from sharp edges. In practical use, the hanging strip may frequently come into contact with and rub against the hook portion 30; the spherical structure reduces damage caused by sharp edges, improving safety. This not only improves the practicality of the hook portion 30 but also enhances its reliability and safety in actual use.

[0043] In some embodiments, the four edges of the front of the structural frame 10 protrude outwards. This effectively reduces the probability of the electronic shelf label 50 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 50. This design not only improves the service life of the electronic shelf label 50 but also enhances its stability during use. By providing outward protrusions around the four edges of the structural frame 10, the electronic shelf label 50 can be better protected from external physical damage, ensuring its reliability and stability in various usage environments.

[0044] In some embodiments, the structural frame 10, the price tag fixing part 20, and the hook part 30 are integrally molded. Firstly, the integral molding structure reduces assembly steps and connection points, improving the 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 to connection points. Secondly, the integral molding structure also reduces assembly errors during production, improving product precision and consistency. Furthermore, this structural design reduces material waste, lowers production costs, and increases production efficiency. By adopting an integral molding structure, the reliability and stability of the reverse hook-type electronic price tag shell during use can be ensured, while simultaneously improving the product's economy and practicality.

[0045] In some embodiments, the structural frame 10, the price tag fixing part 20, and the hook part 30 are all made of plastic. Plastic has good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, effectively protecting the electronic price tag 50 from external physical and chemical damage. Plastic also has good insulation properties, preventing interference with the signal transmission of the electronic price tag 50. Furthermore, plastic is lightweight, facilitating installation and handling, and reducing operating costs. By using plastic, the reliability and stability of the reverse hook-type electronic price tag housing can be ensured in various operating environments, while simultaneously improving the product's economy and practicality.

[0046] 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.
