Unmanned vending machine capable of discharging goods in rotating disc mode and goods discharging method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses an unmanned vending machine capable of discharging goods in a rotating disc mode. The vending machine comprises a machine body and a rotating disc mechanism. A display screen is arranged on a front surface of the machine body, a keyboard is arranged below the display screen, a goods taking box is arranged below the rotating disc mechanism, a goods taking port is arranged inthe goods taking box, and the goods taking port is arranged in a lower portion of the front surface of the machine body. A partition plate is arranged between the rotating disc mechanism and the goods taking box, and a goods outlet is arranged in a center of the partition plate. The rotating disc mechanism comprises a circular baffle plate and a plurality of storage rotation discs which are fixedinto the machine body. Each storage rotation disc comprises a plurality of side plates which are arranged in a radial direction in a diverging mode, a fan-shaped storage space is formed between the adjacent side plates, and a notch corresponding to the goods outlet is arranged under the circular baffle plate. A turntable wheel type structure is adopted, one article is placed in each fan-shaped storage space, and a turntable is controlled to rotate once or multiple times according to a purchase quantity of a user so that batch shipment in one transaction is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of unmanned vending machines, in particular to a carousel-type unmanned vending machine and a delivery method thereof. Background technique [0002] The existing retail methods of unmanned vending machines are mainly divided into the following types: 1. Doorless fixed cargo lane type: after the user purchases and pays each time, an item is ejected through a device such as a spring; 2. Multi-cabinet multi-door type : One item is placed in each warehouse, and the user opens a warehouse door after each purchase; 3. One door for the whole cabinet: multiple items are placed in one container, and the user opens the door after identification. Take the goods in the cabinet at will, identify the type and quantity of the items purchased by the user through image, gravity, RFID, light induction and other item identification methods, and finally complete the payment deduction. [0003] The main problems of the above ty...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] 1. Doorless fixed aisle type: only suitable for unmanned retail of relatively large items (such as beverages, instant noodles, etc.), and cannot accurately control small items such as strips and sheets;

[0005] 2. Multi-cabinet and multi-door type: the volume of the container is relatively large, which is proportional to the quantity of goods that can be sold. It cannot be miniaturized for the situation where a large number of small items need to be sold.

And the structure of multi-door and multi-lock, the manufacturing cost of the container is high, and the failure rate is high

[0006] 3. The whole cabinet with one door: the cost of the cabinet is high, and it is only suitable for relatively large items. For tiny strips and flakes, such as tea bags, condoms, etc., the current recognition rate is low
