为了能够让顾客清楚地了解每个商品的价格，价签广泛应用于商场、超市、药店等场合。根据价签的材料不同可分为纸质价签和电子价签。
纸质价签是较为传统的货架标签，具有造价低、轻便的特点，但是与电子价签相比，具有人力成本高、实时性差、出错率高等缺点。
目前行业内的电子价签是一种带有信息交互功能的电子显示装置，可自动更新商品价格，及时同步线上线下商品信息，实现实时价格管控和运营优化。这种电子价签在一定程度上虽降低了传统纸质价签的耗材、人工变价成本和出错率，并提高了实时性，但其不具有自动定位的功能，所以仍存在管理上的弊端。营业人员可随意依照个人喜好，甚至利益，来调整棚格图(货架排面图)每个商品的摆放位置，造成公司的促销政策无法落实到位，货架的黄金摆放位置完全在理货员的手上，就是管理上的一大漏洞。所以市场上亟需一种能够自动定位，实现由管理者决定每个商品(价签)摆放位置的一种电子价签。

附图说明
为了更清楚地说明本发明实施例中的技术方案，下面将对实施例描述中所需要使用的附图作简要介绍，显而易见地，下面描述中的附图仅仅是本发明的一些实施例，对于本领域的普通技术人员来讲，在不付出创造性劳动的前提下，还可以根据这些附图获得其他的附图。

具体实施方式
为进一步说明各实施例，本发明提供有附图。这些附图为本发明揭露内容的一部分，其主要用以说明实施例，并可配合说明书的相关描述来解释实施例的运作原理。配合参考这些内容，本领域普通技术人员应能理解其他可能的实施方式以及本发明的优点。图中的组件并未按比例绘制，而类似的组件符号通常用来表示类似的组件。
现结合附图和具体实施方式对本发明进一步说明。
如图1所示，本发明公开了一种电子价签的定位方法，包括如下步骤：
A1，在货架的各个层上沿层的长度方向设置一电阻线，将各个层上的电阻线依次串联。
具体的，本实施例中，电阻线采用铜箔材料制成，可以采用现有的电路板加工工艺，易于加工制造，成本低，但并不限于此，在其它实施例中，电阻线也可以采用镍铬等其它电阻材料制成。
为了提高定位精度，需提高电阻线沿层的长度方向的单位长度的电阻值，为此，本实施例中，电阻线优选采用方波型结构，使得电阻线沿层的长度方向的单位长度的电阻值达到最大化，当然，在其它实施例中，电阻线也可以采用锯齿波、正弦波等其它来回弯折结构构成。
A2，对串联后的电阻线施加一恒流。
具体为，串联后的电阻线一端接参考电位，本实施例中，优选为地，另一端接恒流源的输出端。
A3，通过电子价签获取该电子价签所在位置所对应的电阻线上的电压A，通过该电压A即可得到该电子价签在货架上的位置。
由于电阻线上的各个位置的电压值都不同，因此，通过获取该电子价签所在位置所对应的电阻线上的电压A，即可换算出该电子价签在货架上的位置。
由于每根电阻线的电阻值都会存在一定误差，因此，多根电阻线串联时，每根电阻线的误差将会进行累加，会使得远离地端的电阻线上的电压误差越来越大，导致定位不准确。
为此，本具体实施例中，步骤A1还包括：在货架的各个层上设置一对应的导线，各个层的电阻线分别通过各个层的导线依次串联。
本具体实施例中，导线优选采用铜箔材料制成，可以采用现有的电路板加工工艺，易于加工制造，成本低，但并不限于此，在其它实施例中，导线也可以采用银等其它导电材料制成。导线为直线状结构，且与电阻线平行间隔设置， 使得线路结构简洁，易于实现。
步骤A3还包括：通过电子价签获取该电子价签所在层所对应的导线上的电压B，由于导线的电阻很小，同一层的不同位置处的导线上的电压基本相同，因此，通过该电压B即可换算得到该电子价签所在层的层位置，通过电压A与电压B的差值，即可得到该电子价签在所在层的具体位置。通过导线上的电压B来定位该电子价签所在层的层位置(即第几层)，通过电压A与电压B的差值来得到该电子价签在所在层的具体位置(即在该层的第几位)，即可规避多个电阻线的误差累加，提高定位精确度。
基于上述定位方法，本发明提供了一种电子价签组件，如图2-7所示，包括导轨2和电子价签1，所述导轨2用于设置在货架的相应层上，且导轨2的长度方向沿其所在层的长度方向，所述电子价签1设置在导轨2上，所述导轨2上设有沿其长度方向延伸的一电阻线21和一导线22，该电阻线21与该导线22串联设置，所述电子价签1上设有第一电压读取端口11和第二电压读取端口12，所述第一电压读取端口11和第二电压读取端口12分别与该电子价签1所在位置处的电阻线21和导线22电接触，以分别读取该位置处的电阻线21和导线22上的电压值。
本具体实施例中，电阻线21采用铜箔材料制成，可以采用现有的电路板加工工艺，易于加工制造，成本低，但并不限于此，在其它实施例中，电阻线21也可以采用镍铬等其它电阻材料制成。
为了提高定位精度，需提高电阻线21沿层的长度方向的单位长度的电阻值，为此，本具体实施例中，电阻线21优选采用方波型结构，使得电阻线21沿层的长度方向的单位长度的电阻值达到最大化，当然，在其它实施例中，电阻线21也可以采用锯齿波、正弦波等其它来回弯折结构构成。
本具体实施例中，导线22优选采用铜箔材料制成，可以采用现有的电路板加工工艺，易于加工制造，成本低，但并不限于此，在其它实施例中，导线22也可以采用银等其它导电材料制成。导线22为直线状结构，且与电阻线21平行间隔设置，使得线路结构简洁，易于实现。
本具体实施例中，所述电子价签1可沿导轨2的长度方向移动，便于调整商品所占横宽。
具体的，所述导轨2设有沿其长度方向延伸的滑槽25，所述电子价签1上设有卡块15，所述电子价签通过卡块15滑动卡设在滑槽25内而滑动设置在滑槽25内，实现电子价签1可沿导轨2的长度方向移动，结构简单，稳固性好。当然，在其它实施例中，电子价签1也可以采用现有的其它结构来实现可沿导轨2的长度方向移动，如在导轨2上设有滑轨，在电子价签1上设有与滑轨配合的滑槽来实现电子价签1可沿导轨2的长度方向移动等。
所述第一电压读取端口11和第二电压读取端口12设置在电子价签1的与滑槽25槽底相对的背面上，所述第一电压读取端口11和第二电压读取端口12分别与电阻线21和导线22滑动电接触。本具体实施例中，第一电压读取端口11和第二电压读取端口12分别采用弹性导电触点来实现，使得第一电压读取端口11和第二电压读取端口12分别与电阻线21和导线22具有良好电接触，但并不以此为限。弹性导电触点为很成熟的现有技术，此不再细说。
所述滑槽25内还设有沿其长度方向延伸的电源线23和通信线24，所述电子价签1的与滑槽25槽底相对的背面上还设有电源输入端口13和通信端口14，所述电源输入端口13和通信端口14分别与电源线23和通信线24滑动连接。本具体实施例中，电源输入端口13和通信端口14分别采用弹性导电触点来实现，使得电源输入端口13和通信端口14分别与电源线23和通信线24具有良 好电接触，但并不以此为限。
如图7所示，本发明还提供了一种电子价签系统，包括设置在货架上各个层的电子价签组件、基站3、后台服务器4和手持终端5，所述电子价签组件为上述的电子价签组件，图7所示的电子价签组件的数量为3个，但并不限于此，在其它实施例中，电子价签组件的数量具体根据货架的层数而定，可以是2个、4个、5个等。
各个层的电子价签组件的已串联的电阻线21和导线22再依次串联并由基站3提供一恒流，具体的，如图7所示，最上层的电子价签组件的电阻线21的第一端通过其导线22与中间层的电子价签组件的电阻线22的第二端连接，中间层的电子价签组件的电阻线22的第一端通过其导线22与最下层的电子价签组件的电阻线22的第二端连接，最下层的电子价签组件的电阻线22的第一端接地，最上层的电子价签组件的电阻线21的第二端接基站3的恒流输出端。
所述基站3通过电源线23为电子价签1供电，所述电子价签1通过通信线24经基站3与后台服务器4通信连接，所述手持终端5与后端服务器4无线通信连接，用于获取货架编号，并发送至后台服务器4。
本具体实施例中，基站3通过路由器6与后台服务器4通信连接，后台服务器4可以采用云服务器来实现，也可以采用设置在管理中心的计算机实现。
本具体实施例中，所述电子价签1通过通信线24经RS485总线与基站3通信连接，通信速度快，实时性好，但并不限于此。
本具体实施例中，所述导轨2上还设有接线盒26，所述导轨2上的电阻线21、导线22、电源线23和通信线24分别通过接线盒26完成相应连接。通过接线盒26，实现快速接线，便于安装。
本具体实施例中，接线盒26插设在滑槽25的一端上，并通过螺丝锁紧固定，便于安装和更换，但并不以此为限。
本具体实施例中，手持终端5采用型号为HT4，但并不与此为限。
下面将以具体应用场景来说明本发明的工作过程：
一.针对老门店，已有商品陈列，后装配电子价签的模式，采用手持终端绑定商品：
1.1.将基站3、导轨2布局好后，根据商品陈列位置，逐一卡上电子价签1。
1.2.电子价签1将其ID和通过检测所在位置的电阻线21和导线22的电压自动识别的库位(第几层第几位)上传到基站3，由基站3经路由器6发送到后台服务器4。
1.3.通过手持终端5绑定货架编号+电子价签1的ID+商品条码，自动上传到后台服务器4，后台服务器4自动生成棚格图(货架排面图)。
二.针对新门店，新装配电子价签，后摆放商品的模式，通过后台自定义商品信息：
2.1.陈列师可直接在后台设计布局或导入商品陈列布局图，形成可视棚格图(货架排面图)，并发送给到手持终端5。
2.2.现场施工人员将基站3、导轨2布局好后，根据手持终端5的布局图，确认每个货架每层摆放电子价签1数量及距离，并在手持终端5绑定其中一个价签1的ID和货架编号，上传给到后台服务器4。
2.3.后台服务器4将根据预设棚格图(货架排面图)，将商品信息批量下载到对应的电子价签1。
2.4.理货员依据电子价签1显示的商品信息，摆放商品，手持终端5可提 供商品放置正确性快速校验功能，以防止商品放错。
当理货员随意对调电子价签1(上下对调、左右对调)时，电子价签1将通过检测所在位置的电阻线21和导线22的电压自动识别到库位发生变化，并发送给后台服务器4，后台服务器4将进行价签移位预警、通知管理人员等动作，从而实现电子价签(商品)在货架上的位置监控和锁定，防止理货员私自买卖黄金层位，任意调整商品库位，为零售物联网提供全新解决方案。
尽管结合优选实施方案具体展示和介绍了本发明，但所属领域的技术人员应该明白，在不脱离所附权利要求书所限定的本发明的精神和范围内，在形式上和细节上可以对本发明做出各种变化，均为本发明的保护范围。
