Abstract

The present disclosure provides an electronic shelf label, including a rear shell ( 1 ), a screen ( 4 ), a protective sheath ( 5 ) and a lens ( 6 ). The protective sheath ( 5 ) is sheathed on an outer side of the screen ( 4 ), an accommodation groove ( 101 ) is formed on the rear shell ( 1 ), and the screen ( 4 ) is disposed in the accommodation groove ( 101 ). The lens ( 6 ) is disposed to cover a groove opening of the accommodation groove ( 101 ) and is connected to an edge of the rear shell ( 1 ). A portion of the protective sheath ( 5 ) located at an edge of a display port of the screen ( 4 ) is supported between the lens ( 6 ) and the screen ( 4 ), so that a press-resistant gap ( 8 ) is reserved between the lens ( 6 ) and the screen ( 4 ). The present disclosure solves the technical problems that the electronic shelf label is easy to be damaged and the use effect is poor.

Claims (22)

1 . An electronic shelf label, comprising:

a rear shell;

a screen;

a protective sheath; and

a lens,

wherein the protective sheath is sheathed on an outer side of the screen, an accommodation groove is formed on the rear shell, and the screen is disposed in the accommodation groove,

wherein the lens is disposed to cover a groove opening of the accommodation groove and is connected to an edge of the rear shell,

wherein a portion of the protective sheath located at an edge of a display port of the screen is supported between the lens and the screen so that a press-resistant gap is reserved between the lens and the screen,

wherein the electronic shelf label further comprises a battery and a circuit board, both of which are disposed in the accommodation groove, and the circuit board is connected to the rear shell so that a tab of the battery is tightly pressed against a power source end of the circuit board, and

wherein a fixing hole is provided on the circuit board and a screw connected to the rear shell is disposed in the fixing hole.

2 . The electronic shelf label according to claim 1 , wherein a display opening is provided on the protective sheath at a position opposite to the display port of the screen.

3 . The electronic shelf label according to claim 1 , wherein the tab of the battery is welded to the power source end of the circuit board.

4 . The electronic shelf label according to claim 1 , wherein the battery is wrapped by an aluminum-plastic film housing.

5 . The electronic shelf label according to claim 4 , wherein the battery is a lithium-manganese pouch battery.

6 . The electronic shelf label according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of clamping pieces are disposed on an inner wall of the accommodation groove and the battery is clamping-fit to each of the clamping pieces.

7 . The electronic shelf label according to claim 1 , wherein a shape of the circuit board is matched with the rear shell of various sizes.

8 . The electronic shelf label according to claim 1 , wherein a welding groove is disposed along the edge of the rear shell, an inclined surface is formed on an inner wall of the welding groove in an extension direction thereof, and an edge of the lens is located in the welding groove and ultrasonically welded with the inner wall of the welding groove so that the rear shell and the lens are integrally formed.

9 . The electronic shelf label according to claim 8 , wherein the edge of the lens abuts against the inclined surface.

10 . The electronic shelf label according to claim 8 , wherein the edge of the lens abuts against the inclined surface so that a gap is formed between the lens and the welding groove, and the inclined surface is melted during a welding process to fill the gap between the lens and the welding groove.

11 . The electronic shelf label according to claim 1 , wherein a welding groove is disposed along the edge of the rear shell, an inclined surface is formed on an inner wall of the welding groove in an extension direction thereof, and an edge of the lens is located in the welding groove and welded with the inner wall of the welding groove so that the rear shell and the lens are integrally formed.

12 . The electronic shelf label according to claim 11 , wherein the edge of the lens abuts against the inclined surface.

13 . The electronic shelf label according to claim 11 , wherein the edge of the lens abuts against the inclined surface so that a gap is formed between the lens and the welding groove, and the inclined surface is melted during a welding process to fill the gap between the lens and the welding groove.
