Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to tobacco product inventory tools, specifically to a device for equally dividing the spacing of cigarette displays. Background Technology

[0002] When packing loose cigarettes into boxes, a certain number of cigarettes needs to be counted, for example, ten packs, and then repacked. In the daily operation of cigarette retail outlets, cigarettes usually need to be displayed, and display is a crucial factor affecting sales. Cigarettes are divided into different categories such as thick, medium, and thin cigarettes. To achieve an aesthetically pleasing and neat display, a certain number of cigarettes (e.g., five or ten packs) are usually stacked or arranged sideways as a whole. Currently, this operation is mainly done manually. Staff need to manually count a specific number of cigarettes and then arrange them neatly. However, when large-scale, repetitive quantity inquiries and retrievals are required, this purely manual method is not only inefficient but also prone to counting errors due to fatigue or negligence. This can result in inconsistent numbers of cigarettes in the display units, affecting the display effect and potentially causing discrepancies in inventory counts. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a spacing equalization device for assisting in the display of cigarettes, so as to solve the shortcomings of the existing technology that when large-scale, repetitive quantity inquiries and retrieval are required, the purely manual method is not only inefficient, but also prone to counting errors due to fatigue or negligence.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a spacing equalization device for assisting in the display of cigarettes, comprising a plurality of A main rods, wherein each A main rod includes an A guiding end and a B clamping end, and further comprising:

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4 A spacing equalization device for assisting in cigarette display includes several A main rods 1, each A main rod 1 including an A guide end and a B clamping end, and further includes:

[0025] Guide groove 2 is opened at the A guide end of main rod A 1;

[0026] The gripper 6 is located at the B gripping end of the main rod A 1 and is used to grip cigarettes.

[0027] B main rods 3 are arranged in pairs in an alternating manner. One end of one group of B main rods 3 is located in the guide groove 2, and the other end of B main rods 3 is rotatably connected to the B clamping end of A main rod 1 through a rotating shaft.

[0028] Measuring ruler 5 is set on one side of main pole A 1. Measuring ruler 5 is used to measure the distance between two adjacent main poles A 1.

[0029] The guide groove 2 is arranged along the length of the main rod A 1. The middle parts of the two main rods B 3 are rotatably connected by the same connecting shaft. The rotatable connection of the adjacent main rods B 3 by the rotating shaft enables multiple sets of main rods B 3 to rotate synchronously. A set of main rods B 3 is staggered. A set of main rods B 3 connects two adjacent main rods A 1. Multiple sets of main rods B 3 extend and retract synchronously, driving the main rod A 1 to move to the same side. The measuring ruler 5 is used to measure the distance of the main rods A 1. The gripper 6 is fixedly installed on the B gripping end of the main rod A 1. The gripper 6 moves equidistantly by the equidistant movement of the main rod A 1.

[0030] When displaying cigarettes, staff need to manually count a specific number of cigarettes before arranging them neatly. However, when large-scale, repetitive quantity inquiries and retrievals are required, this purely manual method is not only inefficient but also prone to errors due to fatigue or negligence, resulting in inconsistent numbers of cigarette display units, affecting the display effect, and potentially causing discrepancies in inventory counts.

[0031] This solution uses the linkage between main rod A 1 and main rod B 3 to drive the gripper 6 to move at equal distances. The distance between the gripper 6 is measured by measuring ruler 5 to adapt to the size and distance of multiple boxes or packs of cigarettes. Then, the gripper 6 clamps the set number of cigarettes. Therefore, a specified number of cigarettes can be measured and picked up at once, which improves the stability of the cigarette picking quantity and reduces the problem of quantity error in the cigarette picking process.

[0032] A movable pin 4 is provided at one end of the B main rod 3 located at the A guide end. The bottom end of the movable pin 4 is located in the guide groove 2. The outer side of the movable pin 4 is slidably connected to the inner side of the guide groove 2. The movable pin 4 is also used to connect the ends of two adjacent B main rods 3.

[0033] The movable pin 4 connects the B main rod 3 to the guide groove 2, and also connects the two adjacent sets of B main rods 3 located at one end of the A guide end. The B main rods 3 connected by the movable pin 4 rotate coaxially. When the B main rod 3 rotates and drives the two adjacent A main rods 1 to move away from each other, the movable pin 4 moves along the inner side of the guide groove 2 towards the middle of the A main rod 1 under the drive of the B main rod 3.

[0034] A guide groove 7 is provided on the main rod 1, and the measuring ruler 5 can move along the guide groove 7.

[0035] The guide groove 7 and the measuring ruler 5 are aligned in the same straight line along their length. The width of the guide groove 7 is not less than the width of the measuring ruler 5. The measuring ruler 5 can move along the trajectory of the guide groove 7, which facilitates the storage of this device. The measuring ruler 5 has length scale lines along its length. By reading the numbers on the measuring ruler 5, the spacing of the main rod 1 can be controlled, and the spacing of the grippers 6 can be adjusted according to the size of the cigarette.

[0036] An indicator pin 8 is provided at the intersection of a set of B main rods 3. The indicator pin 8 is located in the middle of the B main rods 3. One end of the indicator pin 8 is fixedly connected to one of the B main rods 3, and the other end of the indicator pin 8 is provided with a pointer. The other B main rod 3 is rotatably connected to the indicator pin 8, and the other B main rod 3 has a scale line opened around the axis of the indicator pin 8.

[0037] One end of the indicator pin 8 is fixedly connected to one of the B main rods 3, and the other end of the indicator pin 8 passes through the middle of the other B main rod 3. The B main rod 3 through which the pin is passed has uniform scale lines around the axis of the indicator pin 8. The uniform scale lines use mathematical trigonometric functions to mark the distance between two relatively adjacent A main rods 1 of the rotation angle.

[0038] The gripper 6 is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and its cross-section is triangular or trapezoidal.

[0039] The upper part of the gripper 6 is wider than the lower part, and the narrow part at the bottom of the gripper 6 can be inserted into the outside of the stacked cigarette packs.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] This embodiment provides a technical solution based on embodiment one: a locking pin 9 is provided at the intersection of a group of B main rods 3. One end of the locking pin 9 is a protruding end, and the other end of the locking pin 9 is a threaded end. The threaded end of the locking pin 9 passes through the two intersecting B main rods 3. The protruding end of the locking pin 9 is located on the outside of one of the B main rods 3, and the threaded end of the locking pin 9 is threadedly connected to the other B main rod 3 at the point where it is passed through.

[0042] The protruding end of the locking pin 9 is used for manual operation of the threaded end rotation. The threaded end is threadedly connected to the B main rod 3 away from the protruding end. By rotating the locking pin 9, the two intersecting B main rods 3 are pressed and fixed against each other, so that the distance of the gripper 6 is fixed. The spacing can be fixed after one adjustment, and the same type of cigarette boxes can be checked and gripped.

[0043] Working principle: During use, the user pushes or pulls the A main rod 1 according to the size of the cigarettes to be displayed, causing a set of B main rods 3 to rotate and extend synchronously via a pivot, thereby moving adjacent A main rods 1 to the same side. At this time, the movable pin 4 slides along the guide groove 2 under the drive of the B main rods 3. Simultaneously, by observing the length scale line on the measuring ruler 5, the spacing of the A main rods 1 is adjusted to ensure that the spacing of the grippers 6 is adapted to the size of multiple boxes or packs of cigarettes. The measuring ruler 5 can move along the guide groove 7 for easy reading. During the spacing adjustment process, the scale line on the other B main rod 3 pointed to by the pointer of the indicator pin 8 can be referenced to accurately control the relative distance of the A main rods 1 based on trigonometric function relationships. After the adjustment is completed, the triangular or trapezoidal structure of the grippers 6, which is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, is used to insert the narrow bottom part into the outside of the stacked cigarette packs to grab the set number of cigarettes, thereby achieving a single measurement and retrieval of a specified number of cigarettes, reducing query errors.

[0044] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
