Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of unmanned vending machines, in particular to a large-scale automatic vending cabinet. Background Art

[0002] At present, when consumers need to purchase goods from multiple shelves at the same time, they have to carry out multi-sided shopping operations. Consumers have to pick up goods from multiple pickup ports, which is both time-consuming and troublesome. This inconvenient shopping method affects the consumer experience.

[0003] In the prior art, when a large vending machine with a length of more than two meters uses only one pickup port to deliver goods, an additional position is usually added outside the shelf area to set up a cargo bucket (about 0.5 meters in length) to lengthen the vending cabinet. For a store with limited store space, the extra cargo bucket position often makes it impossible to place a large vending machine in the store.

[0004] With the development of the unmanned vending field, the efficient sales of large vending machines are becoming more and more important. Consumers need to shop at multiple vending machines and pick up goods at the same pickup port to save shopping time. In order to enhance the shopping experience and increase the profitability of store space, solving this problem is a top priority. Summary of the invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a large-scale automatic vending cabinet to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A large-scale automatic vending machine, comprising: two or more shelves, a conveying aisle, a pallet aisle, a cargo bucket and a pickup port; the two or more shelves are connected together, and the shelves are each provided with a pallet aisle; the conveying aisle, the cargo bucket and the pickup port are arranged in front of the shelves; the pickup port is arranged in front of the cargo bucket; a conveying aisle or a cargo bucket is arranged in front of each shelf, and the goods are transported into the cargo bucket by the conveying aisle, and the cargo bucket is arranged at the pickup port; conveying aisles and cargo buckets are continuously arranged at the lower part corresponding to the multiple shelves in the automatic vending machine, when consumers buy multiple items, the goods located above the conveying aisle fall onto the conveying aisle, and the goods located above the cargo bucket directly fall into the cargo bucket, and multiple items can fall into the conveying aisle or cargo bucket arranged in front of the shelves at the same time, the conveying aisle delivers the goods into the cargo bucket, and a pickup port is arranged in front of the cargo bucket.

[0008] As a further solution of the present invention, the conveying channel and the conveying mode of the conveying channel include lifting conveying, horizontal conveying and / or slide conveying; conveyor belt conveyors, lifting conveyors and / or slides are used to transport goods.

[0009] As a further solution of the present invention, the cargo bucket and the pickup port are composed of an anti-theft cover plate, a buffer cotton plate, a first spring, a second spring, a third spring, a fourth spring, a first pulley, a second pulley, a first belt, a second belt, a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, a pickup port and a pickup door; when the pickup door is in a closed state, the buffer panel automatically rises under the simultaneous push of the first spring, the second spring, the third spring and the fourth spring, reducing the drop when the goods fall; when the pickup door is in an open state, the buffer panel falls downward under the simultaneous drive of the first belt and the second belt, thereby increasing the volume of the cargo bucket and accommodating more goods.

[0010] As a further solution of the present invention, the pallet aisle is configured as a spring spiral aisle, a conveyor belt aisle, an S-shaped stacking aisle or a multi-door lattice cabinet; the pallet aisle is used to place and display goods in an orderly manner, and ensure that the goods can be placed correctly and sent out from the aisle.

[0011] As a further solution of the present invention, a QR code is provided on the large vending machine. After the consumer uses the QR code to select goods and completes payment, the pallet aisle transports the goods to the conveying aisle, the conveying aisle transports the goods to the cargo bucket, or the goods fall directly from the pallet aisle into the cargo bucket, and the consumer takes the goods directly from the pickup port.

[0012] As a further solution of the present invention, the large vending machine is provided with an operation panel, and the operation panel is arranged above the pickup port. The operation panel is provided with a goods interface and / or a payment interface. After the consumer uses the operation panel to select goods and completes the payment, the pallet aisle transports the goods to the conveying aisle, the conveying aisle transports the goods to the cargo bucket, or the goods fall directly into the cargo bucket from the pallet aisle, and the consumer takes the goods directly from the pickup port.

[0013] As a further solution of the present invention, a pickup port is provided below the large-scale automatic vending cabinet.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] First, the present invention enables consumers to purchase goods from multiple shelves from the same pickup port of a vending cabinet. This convenient shopping method improves consumers' shopping experience and saves consumers' shopping time;

[0016] Second, the present invention enables consumers to purchase multiple items by dropping them into the conveyor lane or cargo box in front of the shelf at the same time. The conveyor lane delivers the items into the cargo box, and a pickup port is provided in front of the cargo box. This improvement greatly shortens the time for consumers to purchase multiple items, saves more store space, and creates greater economic benefits.

[0017] 3. The present invention no longer requires the additional length of the vending cabinet to be provided with a pickup port, thereby reducing the total length of the vending cabinet, saving the space occupied by the vending cabinet, and reducing the production and transportation costs of the vending cabinet.
