Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of multifunctional intelligent vending cabinets, and in particular to a multifunctional intelligent vending cabinet. Background Art

[0002] Vending machines have become an important way of retailing goods in public places, and unmanned vending machines (or unmanned vending machines) can greatly enhance users' willingness to buy, expand the time dimension of users' consumption, and provide merchants with continuous and stable sales channels. Therefore, unmanned vending machines are increasingly favored by merchants and customers. With the popularization of applications, the types of unmanned vending machines and the categories of goods sold are also becoming increasingly rich.

[0003] However, the existing unmanned vending machines also have certain defects. For example, the existing smart vending machines have single functions and sell single items. 1. Single refrigeration and single freezing vending machines mostly sell drinks or ready-to-eat items; 2. They cannot sell quick-frozen foods (such as dumplings, glutinous rice balls, and boxed lunches) and cannot be heated and eaten; 3. They have single functionality, a small customer base, and high customer operating costs; 4. Smart unmanned vending machines generally use dynamic video recognition and static images to identify products. The disadvantage is that all products need to be trained in the early stage, which is costly, and there are problems such as recognition errors in the process of product sales. It is also not convenient for multiple people to buy at the same time. Utility Model Content

Through the first gravity sensing plate 10, the second gravity sensing plate 11, the mounting frame 12, the slide slot 13, the slider 14 etc., under the influence of the elastic force of the tension spring 16 itself, every time the user draws out a bag of goods from the inside of the mounting rack 12, the push plate 15 will be driven by the tension spring 16 to move from the rear of the mounting rack 12 to the front, and at the same time push the goods at the front to move toward the front of the mounting rack 12 until the front end of the mounting rack 12 is filled. At the same time, the gravity sensing plate can increase or decrease the weight on the upper part. The weight must be set in advance and kept in a certain range, which corresponds to the goods on the shelf to determine whether the user has taken the goods or the quantity of the goods taken. Identification is simpler, and there will be no misjudgment when multiple people buy goods at the same time.
