Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette cabinets, specifically to a display mechanism that facilitates the sale, storage, and pop-up of cigarettes. Background Technology

[0002] Cigarette cabinets are commercial equipment specifically designed for the display, storage, and sale of cigarettes. They are typically installed at tobacco retail outlets and are intended to enhance the display effect, sales efficiency, and management convenience of cigarette products through scientific design and functional configuration.

[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent with publication number CN218304245U, which discloses a rotating tobacco display cabinet. The cabinet includes a support base with a rotating column at its top. A motor is installed inside the support base. Two sets of rotating cabinets for displaying tobacco are arranged around the rotating column. Each rotating cabinet contains a display panel with multiple display slots evenly distributed on its top. A glass cover is installed on the top of the display panel, and a retrieval port is located on the top of the glass cover and directly above each display slot. A transparent dust-proof plate is installed on the top of each retrieval port. This patent allows tobacco to be categorized and placed into various display slots for rotating display, enhancing the display effect. During the display process, the glass cover and transparent dust-proof plate prevent dust accumulation on the tobacco packaging, thus avoiding contamination of the tobacco. It also reduces the workload of staff cleaning the surface of the tobacco.

[0004] Existing cigarette cabinets typically use a transparent display method to show consumers the types of cigarettes available. However, manual intervention is still required during sales, and empty cigarettes need to be replenished manually after each sale. To prevent theft, cigarette cabinets are usually locked during the sales and display process and are only opened during sales. This repeated opening and closing of the locks greatly increases the cumbersome operation for staff when selling cigarettes.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a display mechanism that facilitates the sale, storage, and pop-up of cigarettes to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the existing technology has the disadvantage that the cigarette cabinet needs to be manually operated throughout the sales process, which greatly increases the workload. To this end, we propose a display mechanism that facilitates the sale, storage and pop-up of cigarettes.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a display mechanism for convenient cigarette sales, storage, and pop-up, comprising a storage cabinet: a glass display cabinet is installed above the storage cabinet, a touch screen is installed above the glass display cabinet, a dispensing port is opened on one side of the glass display cabinet, multiple storage boxes are sequentially and slidably connected inside the storage cabinet, and cabinet doors are symmetrically installed on one side of the storage cabinet; The pop-out component installed in the glass display case includes a display panel, on which multiple display slots are sequentially opened. Each set of display slots is symmetrically equipped with an electric push rod. Each set of electric push rods has an L-shaped push plate installed at its output end, and one side of the L-shaped push plate is in contact with the lower part of the inner wall of the display slot.

[0018] 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.

[0019] Reference Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a display mechanism for convenient cigarette sales, storage, and pop-out, including a storage cabinet 001: a glass display cabinet 101 is installed above the storage cabinet 001, a touch screen 102 is installed above the glass display cabinet 101, a dispensing port 103 is opened on one side of the glass display cabinet 101, multiple sets of storage boxes 104 are sequentially and slidably connected inside the storage cabinet 001, and cabinet doors 105 are symmetrically installed on one side of the storage cabinet 001; Customers can select different types of cigarettes through the touch screen 102, and the glass display case 101 allows the cigarettes to be displayed to customers during the sales process. After the customer pays, the cigarettes can be delivered from the dispensing port 103 for easy self-service pickup. The opening of the cabinet door 105 allows staff to pre-store the cigarettes in the storage box 104 so that the cigarettes can be replenished in a timely manner after the sale.

[0020] The pop-out component 002 installed in the glass display case 101 includes a display panel 209. Multiple display slots 201 are sequentially opened on the display panel 209. Each display slot 201 is symmetrically equipped with an electric push rod 204. Each output end of the electric push rod 204 is equipped with an L-shaped push plate 205, and one side of the L-shaped push plate 205 is in contact with the lower part of the inner wall of the display slot 201. The electric push rod 204 can drive the L-shaped push plate 205 to move, thereby pushing the cigarettes out of the display slot 201.

[0021] The replenishment components 003 located on both sides of the L-shaped push plate 205 include connecting plates 306. The connecting plates 306 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the L-shaped push plate 205, and toothed plates 307 are symmetrically installed on one side of each of the two sets of L-shaped push plates 205. As the L-shaped pusher 205 moves the cigarette, it can move the connecting plates 306 on both sides, which in turn moves the toothed plate 307.

[0022] The shipping component 004 installed inside the glass display case 101 includes a screw 402, which is rotatably connected inside the glass display case 101. An internal threaded block 404 is screwed onto the screw 402. A stepper motor 401 is installed on the inner wall of the glass display case 101 and is electrically connected to an external power socket. The output end of the stepper motor 401 is axially connected to the screw 402. A movable seat 403 is installed above the internal threaded block 404, and a shipping frame 412 is installed above the movable seat 403. The opening of the shipping frame 412 is located at the opening above the display slot 201, and the shipping frame 412 and the shipping port 103 are at the same horizontal position.

[0023] The rotation of the screw 402 can drive the internal thread block 404 to move, thereby causing the internal thread block 404 to move the delivery frame 412 above the moving seat 403 to one side of each set of display slots 201, so that the cigarettes inside can be pushed into the delivery frame 412, and the continuous movement of the delivery frame 412 can move it along the delivery port 103 to the outside of the glass display case 101, making it convenient for customers to take it themselves.

[0024] Reference Figure 4 , 5 As shown in Figure 8, in this embodiment: the pop-up component 002 also includes a through groove 202, which is opened in each group of display grooves 201. Each group of through grooves 202 is connected to a connecting frame 203, and each group of connecting frames 203 extends through to the top of the corresponding storage box 104. Each group of L-shaped push plates 205 is connected to a limit rod 206 in sequence on one side. Each group of limit rods 206 is equipped with a pressing plate 207 on one side. Each group of limit rods 206 is fitted with a spring 208, and the two sides of the spring 208 are respectively attached to the pressing plate 207 and the L-shaped push plate 205.

[0025] The storage box 104 and the display box 201 can be connected through the through groove 202 and the connecting frame 203, which facilitates replenishment after sales. The limiting rod 206 on one side of the extrusion plate 207 can squeeze the spring 208 during the movement of the L-shaped push plate 205, so that the L-shaped push plate 205 can move a certain distance before being pushed.

[0026] Reference Figure 5-8 As shown in Figure 11, in this embodiment: the replenishment component 003 further includes a connecting cavity 301. The connecting cavities 301 are symmetrically opened above the inner wall of the display slot 201, and two sets are opened downwards in sequence. The inner wall of the display slot 201 is also symmetrically opened on one side. The four corners of the through slot 202 are all provided with connecting cavities 301. The two sets of connecting cavities 301 above the display slot 201 are rotatably connected with slot plates 302. The four sets of connecting cavities 301 below the display slot 201 are all rotatably connected with gears 303. The gears 303 and the toothed plates 307 are at the same horizontal position. The four sets of connecting cavities 301 in the through slot 202 are all rotatably connected with baffles 304. A connecting shaft 305 is fixedly connected through the gears 303 and the corresponding slot plates 302 and baffles 304.

[0027] The movement of the L-shaped push plate 205 can drive the toothed plate 307 to mesh with the gear 303. At this time, the gear 303 can drive the connecting shaft 305 to rotate, thereby causing the slot plate 302 and the baffle 304 to rotate simultaneously. Since the L-shaped push plate 205 has moved a certain distance first, it has squeezed the spring 208. At this time, the slot plate 302 releases the cigarette's restraint, allowing the squeezing plate 207 to instantly eject the cigarette under the action of the spring 208. Furthermore, after the baffle 304 rotates, the cigarettes in the storage box 104 can be completely moved into the through groove 202. However, due to the L-shaped push plate 205's movement, the cigarettes in the storage box 104 can be completely moved into the through groove 202. As the pusher plate 205 continues to move, subsequent cigarettes will fit against the bottom of the L-shaped pusher plate 205, and the L-shaped pusher plate 205 will push the cigarettes above completely into the delivery frame 412. During the reset process of the L-shaped pusher plate 205, subsequent cigarettes will enter the display slot 201. At this time, with the continuous reset, the toothed plate 307 drives the gear 303 to rotate, thereby instantly limiting the new cigarettes on the L-shaped pusher plate 205 and simultaneously limiting the subsequent cigarettes below. This can achieve the effect of controlling the replenishment and quantity of cigarettes, while also ensuring the stability of the cigarette display.

[0028] Reference Figure 3 , 9As shown in Figure 10, in this embodiment: the shipping component 004 also includes a guide block 405, which is installed below the movable seat 403. A guide rod 406 is installed inside the glass display case 101, and the guide rod 406 is connected to the guide block 405 through it. A clamping plate 407 is symmetrically arranged inside the shipping frame 412, and the opening of the shipping frame 412 is rotatably connected to one side of the clamping plate 407. A torsion spring 408 is installed at the rotatable connection of the clamping plate 407. A sliding rod 409 is symmetrically installed on the inner wall of each group of storage boxes 104. A replenishment plate 410 is slidably connected between the sliding rods 409 in the same group. A second spring 411 is sleeved on each group of sliding rods 409, and the two sides of the second spring 411 are respectively attached to the bottom of the replenishment plate 410 and the lower part of the inner wall of the storage box 104.

[0029] The stepper motor 401 precisely controls the rotation of the screw 402, allowing the delivery frame 412 to move accurately to the opening of each display slot 201. Simultaneously, the clamping plate 407 ensures that the L-shaped pusher 205 firmly clamps the cigarettes when they are pushed in, automatically adapting to the cigarette size. The spring 411 ensures that the replenishment plate 410 always has an upward pushing force, thus constantly pushing the large quantity of cigarettes stored on top of the replenishment plate 410 upwards. Combined with the replenishment component 003, automatic cigarette replenishment is achieved, enabling automatic delivery and replenishment during the cigarette sales process and reducing the workload of staff.

[0030] The working principle of this practical application is as follows: Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-11When a customer wants to purchase cigarettes, they first visually inspect their desired cigarettes through the glass display case 101, and then select and pay via the touch screen 102. At this time, the stepper motor 401 starts, and through the cooperation of the screw 402 and the internal thread block 404, the delivery frame 412 moves above the display slot 201 of the corresponding cigarette. Simultaneously, the electric push rod 204 pushes the L-shaped push plate 205 to move, causing the extrusion plate 207 to contact the bottom of the cigarette. The continuous movement of the L-shaped push plate 205 compresses the spring 208. At this time, the toothed plate 307 on one side of the L-shaped push plate 205 contacts the gear 303 and drives it to rotate, causing the slot plate 302 and the baffle 304 to be released from their limits. This allows the cigarettes above to pop out, and the cigarettes in the storage box 104 will then enter the through groove 202 along the connecting frame 203 and contact and limit the bottom of the L-shaped push plate 205. At the same time, the continuous pushing of the L-shaped push plate 205 will eventually cause the cigarettes to enter the delivery channel. The two sets of clamps 407 inside the frame 412 are fixed together. At this time, the delivery frame 412 continues to move into the delivery port 103 for easy customer access. At the same time, the L-shaped push plate 205 resets, allowing the cigarettes in the through slot 202 to enter the display slot 201. At the moment of entry, the toothed plate 307 drives the slot plate 302 and the baffle 304 to reset through the gear 303, limiting and fixing the newly entered cigarettes in the display slot 201 and subsequent cigarettes. When restocking is needed, the cabinet door 105 can be opened, allowing staff to manually press the restocking plate 410 and put new cigarettes into the storage box 104. Once full, the restocking plate 410 can be released. This structure allows for the sale and display of restocked cigarettes without manual intervention. Customers can make purchases according to their own preferences, and the cigarettes can be automatically dispensed and restocked during the purchase process, greatly reducing the workload and tediousness of staff.

[0031] 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.
