Belt dispensing method of vending machine, dispensing device and belt structure

Abstract

A delivery method for delivering goods using a soft belt in a vending machine, a delivery device and belt structure, comprising a container (3), a delivery opening (2) and a transfer system (1); at consistent intervals, goods are stuck onto, pinned onto or clamped onto a belt in the container (3), the belt having transverse line type separated grooves; the transfer system (1) comprises at least one rolling device set comprising a rolling wheel; the rolling wheel holds the belt with holding teeth, or a friction wheel presses against the rolling wheel, and both clamp the belt therebetween, so the belt is moved to deliver the goods to the delivery opening (2); finally, a separator cuts off the goods causing the goods to drop, or a customer removes the goods from the delivery opening (2).

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to a shipping method, device and belt structure for using a soft belt to move goods on an automatic vending machine. Background technique [0002] At present, there are three main shipping methods used by vending machines: [0003] ·Use the spring-type screw and screw pusher to push out, and then fall by gravity or catch it with a movable tray. [0004] ·Use slopes + handles, manipulators, etc. to carry and pick up goods. [0005] ·Structure similar to supermarket customer locker [0006] But their common disadvantages are: [0007] High structural cost, the shelves used to separate the goods and the various transmission devices for moving the goods are complex in structure and bulky, resulting in a complex production process that consumes time and labor and consumes a lot of engineering materials (such as metal and engineering plastics, etc.) [0008] ·The cost of control is high, requiring the use of precis...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

If it is necessary to change the category of goods sold due to business reasons, resulting in a change in the size of the goods sold, it cannot be done, or a major modification of the vending machine is required

[0014] Difficult to apply to long and narrow shapes, large-area flat shapes, soft and special-shaped packaging, etc.

[0015] In addition, it is difficult to ship some fragile and fragile products, and the gravity drop type vending machine cannot handle fragile and fragile products

[0016] Due to the complex structure and complex production process of these vending machines, it is difficult to fully automate the production process

[0017] It becomes very difficult to display goods, or requires large glass doors to allow customers to see through the entire shelf, and this design significantly increases the cost accordingly
