[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned vending machine technology, specifically an unmanned vending machine with a monitoring and alarm mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Unmanned vending machines are a product of the smart retail era; they are intelligent retail terminals that combine intelligent recognition technology with vending machines.
[0003] Most unmanned vending machines currently on the market are similar in overall structure. The inside of the machine contains goods such as beverages, and buyers obtain the goods by paying with a QR code or facial recognition. However, there are some functional shortcomings in actual use, which have room for improvement. For example, unmanned vending machines are mostly placed in high-traffic areas, some of which are outdoors, making them more susceptible to unpredictable factors. For instance, if an intoxicated pedestrian hits the vending machine, or if the machine is attacked without provocation, it is difficult to obtain evidence and report the incident to the police. Furthermore, unmanned vending machines themselves are expensive to manufacture, and the repair costs are high if they are damaged. They also lack convenient monitoring and alarm functions.
[0004] Now, a new type of unmanned vending machine with a monitoring and alarm mechanism is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0028] Please see Figure 1-6 An unmanned cabinet with a monitoring and alarm mechanism also includes a sensing component. The sensing component includes a housing 7, which is fixedly connected to the top of the second cabinet 3. Monitoring cameras 6 are respectively installed at the front end of the top left side of the second cabinet 3 and the front end of the top right side of the first cabinet 1. A central control circuit board 8 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the bottom of the housing 7. Camera interfaces 9 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the housing 7. A vibration sensor 10 is fixedly connected to the rear of the bottom of the housing 7. A speaker 11 is installed at the front end of the housing 7.
[0029] The monitoring camera 6 and camera interface 9 are electrically connected. The central control circuit board 8 and camera interface 9 are connected. The front end of the housing 7 is flush with the front end of the second cabinet 3. Vertical slots are evenly opened on the front end of the housing 7. The front end of the vibration sensor 10 is connected to the central control circuit board 8. The rear end of the speaker 11 is connected to the front end of the central control circuit board 8. The monitoring camera 6, central control circuit board 8, vibration sensor 10 and speaker 11 are electrically connected. This allows for monitoring when attacked, facilitating subsequent alarm operations.
[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the vibration sensor 10 inside the housing 7 senses the vibration, and the monitoring camera 6 rotates and captures the image of the attacker to preserve evidence for subsequent alarm processing. At the same time, the speaker 11 plays a reminder voice to prevent further losses. The camera interface 9 facilitates the connection of the monitoring camera 6.
[0031] Example 2: A concave frame 15 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the top of the support plate 14. Rubber baffles 16 are glued to the front ends of the left and right sides inside the concave frame 15. A push plate 17 is horizontally placed between the two sides inside the concave frame 15. Internally threaded tubes 18 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the push plate 17. Side grooves 19 are provided on the left and right sides inside the concave frame 15. A lead screw 20 is movably connected between the front and rear ends inside the side groove 19. A fixed cover 21 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the concave frame 15. A servo motor 22 is installed at the middle position of the rear end of the fixed cover 21. The output end of the servo motor 22 is fixedly connected to the first drive wheel 23. The rear end of the side groove 19 is fixedly connected to the second drive wheel 25. A belt 24 is sleeved between the first drive wheel 23 and the second drive wheel 25.

The left and right sides of the push plate 17 and the left and right sides inside the concave frame 15 are not connected. The rubber baffle 16 is elastic and facilitates the pushing out of the goods.
[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the servo motor 22 drives the first drive wheel 23 to rotate, and the first drive wheel 23 drives the second drive wheel 25 to rotate through the belt 24. The lead screw 20 in the side groove 19 rotates and pushes the push plate 17 forward by cooperating with the internal thread tube 18. The push plate 17 pushes the goods forward and makes them fall. The concave frame 15 can restrict the forward path of the goods, and the rubber baffle 16 prevents the subsequent goods from falling.
[0033] Example 3: An RFID sensor 26 is fixedly connected to the front end of the top of the support plate 14. An inner groove 27 is provided inside the top of the support plate 14. Multiple sets of weighing sensors 28 are installed at the bottom of the inner groove 27. A support plate 29 is fixedly connected to the top of the weighing sensor 28. The outside of the support plate 29 is not connected to the inside of the inner groove 27. The top of the RFID sensor 26, the top of the support plate 29 and the top of the support plate 14 are flush, which facilitates inventory counting.
[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the RFID tag on the bottom of the goods is read by the radio frequency identification sensor 26, and the backend can update the inventory information in real time. The support plate 29 carries the subsequent goods, and the weighing sensor 28 in the inner groove 27 senses the weight of the goods in real time. The data combination with the data from the radio frequency identification sensor 26 allows for multi-dimensional inventory of the remaining inventory.
[0035] Working Principle: In use, the user first stands in front of the touch screen 4, selects the desired item, and makes payment via facial recognition camera 5. After payment, the item falls from the pad 13 into the retrieval slot 2 under the push of the mechanism. When the unmanned cabinet is attacked by external force, the cabinet body vibrates. The vibration sensor 10 inside the shell 7 senses the vibration, and the monitoring camera 6 rotates and captures the attacker's image to preserve evidence for subsequent alarm processing. At the same time, the speaker 11 plays a reminder voice to prevent further losses. The camera interface 9 facilitates the connection of the monitoring camera 6. As payment is completed, the servo motor 22 on the back of the fixed cover 21 drives the first drive wheel 23 to rotate. The first drive wheel 23 drives the second drive wheel 25 to rotate via the belt 24. The lead screw 20 in the side groove 19 rotates and, in cooperation with the internal threaded tube 18, pushes the push plate 17 forward. The push plate 17 pushes the item forward, causing it to fall. The concave frame 15 restricts the forward path of the item, and the rubber baffle 16 prevents subsequent items from falling. As the goods move forward, the RFID tags on the bottom of the goods are read by the radio frequency identification sensor 26, and the back-end can update the inventory information in real time. The support plate 29 carries the subsequent goods, and the weighing sensor 28 in the inner groove 27 senses the weight of the goods in real time. The data combination with the data from the radio frequency identification sensor 26 allows for multi-dimensional inventory checks of the remaining inventory.
