Anti-blocking push rod device, working method and vending machine

Abstract

The invention provides an anti-blocking push rod device, a working method and a vending machine in the field of vending machines. The device comprises a push rod and a detection module, the push rod matches a kinematic pair and a driving mechanism; the push rod is driven by the driving mechanism to do reciprocating motion along the kinematic pair; the detection module is used for detecting whethergoods exist at a goods outlet of the vending machine or not and for sending data to a controller, the controller judges whether the goods normally fall off or not according to the detection result and controls push rod to stop or move. The corresponding detection device is arranged at the position of the goods outlet, the push rod is arranged in the gap in front of the material channel of the vending machine, and when it is judged that the goods are stuck in the goods outlet process, the push rod moves downwards to push the goods to fall down, so that the goods fall into the goods outlet, troubleshooting is completed, and troubleshooting efficiency when the goods are stuck is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of vending machines, in particular to an anti-jamming push rod device, a working method and a vending machine. Background technique [0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not necessarily constitute prior art. [0003] Vending machines are common equipment for commercial automation. The existing vending machines are constantly developing towards informatization and further rationalized, and have produced various types; fully supplementing the shortage of human resources and adapting to changes in the consumption environment and consumption patterns. [0004] The inventors found that although the intelligence of the current vending machines is gradually increasing, so that the system status, system failures, material channel failures, stock outs, etc. can be collected in real time and then transmitted to the network server, but whe...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The inventors found that although the intelligence of the current vending machines is gradually increasing, so that the system status, system failures, material channel failures, stock outs, etc. can be collected in real time and then transmitted to the network server, but when the vending machine fails, the current It can only send an alarm message to inform the maintenance personnel to troubleshoot and deal with the fault. This requires the maintenance personnel to go to the vending machine site to maintain the vending machine. The efficiency of troubleshooting is low, and the user experience of consumers is not good. For some In terms of minor faults, for example, when the material channel vending machine is stuck during the falling of the goods, it cannot reach the consumers, and the waiting time for the maintenance personnel is long, and the fault cannot be eliminated in time; in addition, once the goods If it is stuck, it will occupy the space of the outlet, and the subsequent dropped products will be more likely to be stuck, causing the vending machine to fail to operate normally
