Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automatic vending machines, in particular to an anti-theft automatic delivery mechanism for automatic vending machines. Background Art
[0002] Vending machine anti-theft is a machine that can automatically pay for goods according to the coins inserted. As a new form of commercial retail, it is also called a 24-hour mini supermarket. Common vending machines are divided into four types: beverage vending machine anti-theft, food vending machine anti-theft, comprehensive vending machine anti-theft, and cosmetics vending machine. In the process of vending machine anti-theft payment, users only need to select the goods to be purchased on the display interface and pay, and the corresponding goods will fall into the pickup port, and the corresponding goods can be taken out from the pickup port. However, because the common pickup port is directly connected to the commodity placement space, the anti-theft performance is extremely poor.
[0003] After searching, the publication (announcement) number CN210605902U proposed "an anti-theft mechanism for an anti-theft pickup port of an automatic vending machine", including an anti-theft and external isolation door panel of the automatic vending machine, a delivery frame panel and a pickup port, an upper connecting plate located in the anti-theft inner cavity of the automatic vending machine is installed on the inner side of the delivery frame panel, and a lower anti-theft plate with an adjustable bottom opening angle is installed at the bottom end of the upper connecting plate. The anti-theft mechanism provided between the pickup port and the cargo placement space effectively prevents illegal pickup of the cargo while ensuring that the device can be used for normal cargo pickup, thereby further ensuring the safety between the anti-theft pickup port of the automatic vending machine and the cargo storage space, and achieving an effective anti-theft effect;
[0004] The lower anti-theft plate is placed in front of the pickup plate. Although it can have a certain anti-theft effect, the bottom of the lower anti-theft plate is hollowed out, and the product drop channel and the outside are still open. Criminals may still steal the products inside the vending machine through hooks and other means.
[0005] Secondly, due to the interconnected setting, the heating and cooling functions inside the vending machine will also cause greater losses. At the same time, when the pickup port is opened, external dust and impurities may enter the vending machine through the interconnected channel, affecting the preservation of goods;
[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present application proposes an anti-theft automatic delivery mechanism for a vending machine. Utility Model Content
