Problems solved by technology

[0004] The above-mentioned commodity storage mechanism is characterized by arranging commodities in a single direction, but the space utilization rate of this arrangement is low, which leads to the excessive size of the storage mechanism in the horizontal or vertical direction, which is not conducive to the application in autonomous mobile sales robot
Moreover, the reliability of coil springs and crawler-type cargo lanes is poor, and cargo jams are prone to occur during the delivery process
However, the gravity drop mechanism leads to a lower position of the outlet of the vending machine, which requires bending over to pick up the goods, resulting in a poor consumer experience.
In addition, the above shipping methods cannot sell fragile packaging products such as glass

Embodiment 1

[0053] The storage mechanism of the automatic vending machine includes a storage tray 11 and a first drive assembly. On the one hand, the storage mechanism can be used in a vending machine with only one layer of storage mechanism; on the other hand, it can also be used in a vending machine with two or more layers of storage mechanism, but it can only be used as a The storage mechanism at the bottom of the vending machine is used.

[0054] The storage tray 11 includes at least one storage ring, and the storage ring includes a plurality of mutually independent storage compartments 113, and each of the storage compartments 113 can be used to store goods for sale, so The above-mentioned multiple storage compartments 113 are arranged in a ring shape on the same horizontal plane.

[0055] The first drive assembly is used to drive the storage tray 11 to rotate around an axis. Preferably, the axis is vertical and intersects with the center of the storage tray 11 .

[0056] Wherein,...

Embodiment 2

[0063] An automatic vending machine, the automatic vending machine is provided with only one layer of the storage mechanism of embodiment 1.

[0064] In an optional embodiment, the vending machine further includes a central cylinder 12, which is located at the center of the storage tray 11 and the chassis 21, and the inner diameter of the bore of the central cylinder 12 depends on It depends on the actual situation. Wherein, the inner edge of the chassis 21 is fixedly connected with the outer wall of the central cylinder 12, and the outer edge of the chassis 21 can be fixedly connected with the outer shell of the automatic vending machine. The first motor 311 is installed in the hole of the central cylinder 12 , and the first gear 312 is exposed from the cutout 121 on the wall of the central cylinder 12 and meshes with the ring gear 117 of the storage tray 11 .

Embodiment 3

[0066] The storage mechanism of the automatic vending machine includes a storage tray 11 and a first drive assembly. On the one hand, the storage mechanism can be used in a vending machine with only one layer of storage mechanism; on the other hand, it can also be used in a vending machine with two or more layers of storage mechanism, and can be used as a It can be used by the storage mechanism on any floor of the machine.

[0067] The storage tray 11 includes at least one ring of storage rings, the storage ring includes a plurality of mutually independent storage compartments 113 and at least one delivery compartment 114, and each of the storage compartments 113 can be used for To store goods for sale, the delivery grid 114 is a gap arranged on the storage tray 11, and its size is sufficient for the goods to be sold to pass through in the vertical direction. The plurality of storage grids 113 and the delivery grid 114 are arranged in a ring on the same horizontal plane.

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of vending machines, and discloses a goods storage mechanism and a vending machine with the goods storage mechanism. The goods storage mechanism includes a storage disc and a first driving assembly, the storage disc includes at least one storage ring, and each storage ring comprises multiple storage lattices which are independent to one another, wherein each storage lattice can be used for storing goods to be sold, and the storage lattices are arrayed annularly on the same horizontal plane; the first driving assembly is used for driving the storage disc to rotate around one shaft; a first opening for a lifting mechanism of the vending machine to penetrate through from bottom to top is formed in the bottom of each storage lattice. The provided goods storage mechanism, compared with existing goods storage mechanisms, has the advantages that the utilization rate of space is greatly increased, the goods storage mechanism can cooperate with the lifting mechanism of the vending machine when goods are discharged, and correspondingly the goods pass through the goods storage mechanism and are lifted to a goods outlet in the top of the machine.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of automatic vending machines, in particular to a storage mechanism that can effectively improve space utilization and an automatic vending machine using the storage mechanism. Background technique [0002] Vending machines are widely used because they are not limited by time and place, can save manpower and facilitate transactions. Existing automatic vending machines have multiple commodity storage mechanisms, which can be divided into spiral spring type cargo lanes, crawler type cargo lanes, serpentine cargo lanes, and vertical cargo lanes. [0003] Among them, the coil spring-type cargo lane and the crawler-type cargo lane are a kind of storage mechanism that arranges commodities in a straight line in the horizontal direction, and deliver the commodities to the outlet one by one through the coil spring or crawler driven by the motor. Serpentine cargo lanes and vertical cargo lanes are a kind of storage mechanism t...
