Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic mobile phone case printing vending machine technology, and in particular to an automatic mobile phone case printing vending machine. Background Technology

[0002] Vending machines are commonly used equipment in commercial automation. They are not limited by time or location, save manpower, and facilitate transactions, representing a new form of retail business, often referred to as 24-hour mini-supermarkets. Furthermore, with market changes, vending machines have evolved into various styles, including those that automatically print phone cases.

[0003] Existing automatic phone case printing vending machines include: Chinese utility model patent application number 202320538007.3, entitled "A Mobile Phone Case Printer with a Mechanical Flipping and Grabbing Device"; and Chinese utility model patent application number 202420706225.8, entitled "An Automated Phone Case Printing Mechanism".

[0004] Both of the above-mentioned automatic phone case printing vending machines use storage devices to store phone cases. Since these devices can only hold objects of the same size, and phone cases are generally of uniform thickness, a slot is cut into the clamp to accommodate the phone case. A limiting element is placed between the slot and the inner wall of the clamp to limit the length and width of the phone case. To fix the phone case, simply snap the case onto the clamp. The transport device picks up the clamp containing the phone case to be printed and delivers it to the positioning device for positioning. The printing device prints the phone case, and after printing, the transport device delivers the phone case and clamp together to the dispensing port. While both of these technical solutions can print phone cases relatively well, they still have the following drawbacks:

[0005] First, since the storage device contains a large number of phone cases, each phone case needs to be assembled using a fixture, which increases the customer's usage cost.

[0006] Secondly, the positioning device can only fix clamps of the same size, which limits its adaptability.

[0007] Finally, after the phone case is printed, it will be sent to the shipping port along with the fixture. Users need to send the fixture to the recycling device for recycling themselves, as there is a risk of the fixture being lost.

[0008] In view of this, a new technical solution is needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0009] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic mobile phone case printing vending machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

The first end of the connector is installed at the output end of the moving mechanism, the adsorption component is installed at the second end of the connector, and the air source is installed in the housing or an external air source is selected. The output end of the air source is connected to the adsorption component. When the moving mechanism drives the adsorption end of the adsorption component to fit against the phone case, the air source removes the air between the adsorption component and the phone case to fix the phone case.

[0051] Example

[0052] See Figure 1-12 As shown, the automatic phone case printing vending machine includes a housing 1, the housing 1 having a dispensing port 11, and further includes:

[0053] Storage device 2, installed in the housing 1, includes a limiting mechanism 21 that can adjust the size of the limiting space 22, the limiting space 22 being used to place the mobile phone case 6 to be printed;

[0054] The handling device 3 is installed in the housing 1 and is used to handle the mobile phone case 6;

[0055] The positioning device 4 is installed in the housing 1 and includes a positioning mechanism 41 that can adjust the size of the printing station 42, which is used to place the mobile phone case 6.

[0056] The printing device 5 is installed in the housing 1 and is used to print the mobile phone case 6 located at the positioning device 4.

[0057] The limiting mechanism 21 can store multiple sizes of mobile phone cases 6, and the positioning mechanism 41 can fix multiple sizes of mobile phone cases 6, thereby avoiding the use of special mobile phone case 6 clamps. The structure is simple, reduces the customer's usage cost, is highly adaptable, and there is no risk of clamp loss.

[0058] See Figure 2-6 As shown in a further specific embodiment, the storage device 2 further includes a storage rack 23, the storage rack 23 is equipped with a plurality of mounting plates 24, each mounting plate 24 is equipped with a plurality of partitions 25 and a plurality of limiting mechanisms 21, the mounting plate 24, a partition 25 and a limiting mechanism 21 form a limiting space 22, and the limiting mechanism 21 is adjustablely mounted on the mounting plate 24.

[0059] By adjusting the limiting mechanism 21 installed on the mounting plate 24, the size of the limiting space 22 can be expanded or reduced. The structure is simple and easy to adjust, and it can be adapted to various sizes of mobile phone cases 6, reducing production costs and enhancing versatility.

[0060] See Figure 4-6 As shown in a further specific embodiment, the limiting mechanism 21 includes a first limiting component 211 and a second limiting component 212. The mounting plate 24 has a first limiting groove 241 and a second limiting groove 242 in each of the limiting spaces 22. The first limiting component 211 is movably installed in the first limiting groove 241, and the second limiting component 212 is movably installed in the second limiting groove 242. One side of the partition 25 extends inward to form a limiting plate 26 for limiting the position of the mobile phone case 6. The limiting space 22 is formed between the mounting plate 24, the partition 25, the limiting plate 26, the first limiting component 211, and the second limiting component 212.

[0061] In a preferred embodiment, the first limiting component 211 of this embodiment includes a first limiting member 2111, a first magnetic member 2112 and a first fastener 2113. The first fastener 2113 passes through the first limiting groove 241 and the first magnetic member 2112 in sequence and is connected to the first limiting member 2111. The first limiting member 2111 is magnetically mounted to the mounting plate 24 through the first magnetic member 2112.

[0062] The second limiting component 212 in this embodiment includes a second limiting member 2121, a second magnetic member 2122, and a second fastener 2123. The second fastener 2123 passes through the second limiting groove 242 and the second magnetic member 2122 in sequence and is connected to the second limiting member 2121. The second limiting member 2121 is magnetically mounted to the mounting plate 24 through the second magnetic member 2122.

[0063] In other specific embodiments, the first limiting component 211 and the second limiting component 212 may also be a combination of screws and limiting rods, that is, the limiting rods are limited within the first limiting groove 241 and the second limiting groove 242 by screws.

[0064] In another specific embodiment, the first limiting component 211 and the second limiting component 212 can also be a combination of screws, springs 31432 and limiting rods, that is, the screws and limiting rods are connected and fixed to the mounting plate 24 by springs 31432, with the first end of spring 31432 abutting against the screws or limiting rods and the second end of spring 31432 abutting against the mounting plate 24.

[0065] It should be noted that both the first magnetic component 2112 and the second magnetic component 2122 are magnets, and both the first fastener 2113 and the second fastener 2123 are screws.

[0066] The adjustment direction of the first limiting component 211 is guided by the first limiting groove 241, and the adjustment direction of the second limiting component 212 is guided by the second limiting groove 242, so that the size of the limiting space 22 can be adjusted more accurately.

[0067] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in a further specific embodiment, the conveying device 3 includes a material picking mechanism 31 for conveying the mobile phone case 6 and a moving mechanism 32 for driving the material picking mechanism 31 to move. The material picking mechanism 31 is installed at the output end of the moving mechanism 32, and the moving mechanism 32 is installed on the housing 1.

[0068] like Figure 7-9As shown in a further specific embodiment, the material handling mechanism 31 includes a connector 311, an adsorption member 312, and an air source 313. The first end of the connector 311 is installed at the output end of the moving mechanism 32, the adsorption member 312 is installed at the second end of the connector 311, and the air source 313 is installed in the housing 1 or an external air source 313 is selected. The output end of the air source 313 is connected to the adsorption member 312. When the moving mechanism 32 drives the adsorption end of the adsorption member 312 to fit against the mobile phone case 6, the air source 313 removes the air between the adsorption member 312 and the mobile phone case 6 to complete the fixation of the mobile phone case 6.

[0069] The adsorption component picks up the phone case 6 located in the storage device 2, eliminating the need for a fixing clamp to secure the phone case 6 or to pick it up from both sides. The structure is simple and improves the retrieval efficiency.

[0070] In a further specific embodiment, the material-picking mechanism 31 further includes a detection component 314. The detection component 314 includes a detection seat 3141, a sensor 3142, and a trigger component 3143. The detection seat 3141 is mounted on the connector 311, the sensor 3142 is mounted on the detection seat 3141, and the trigger component 3143 is movably mounted through and on the detection seat 3141. When the material-picking mechanism 31 picks up and fixes the phone case 6, the first end of the trigger component 3143 abuts against the phone case 6, and the second end of the trigger component 3143 rises to the sensing position of the sensor 3142. With the cooperation of the sensor 3142 and the trigger component 3143, the position of the phone case 6 is sensed, resulting in a simple structure and strong stability.

[0071] like Figure 9 As shown in a further specific embodiment, the triggering component 3143 includes a trigger element 31431, a spring 31432, and a fixing element 31433. The trigger element 31431 is inserted through and movably mounted on the detection seat 3141, and is perpendicular to the sensing element 3142. The fixing element 31433 is connected to the first end of the trigger element 31431. The spring 31432 is sleeved on the fixing element 31433 or the trigger element 31431, with the first end of the spring 31432 abutting against the fixing element 31433 and the second end of the spring 31432 abutting against the mounting seat 43. When the material picking mechanism 31 picks up and fixes the mobile phone case 6, the second end of the trigger element 31431 rises to the sensing position of the sensing element 3142.

[0072] It should be noted that the sensing element 3142 in this embodiment is a proximity sensor. In other specific embodiments, a photoelectric switch can also be used. With the cooperation of the trigger element 31431 and the sensing element 3142, the position of the mobile phone case 6 is sensed. Since this technical solution directly senses the mobile phone case 6, when the mobile phone case 6 falls off the feeding mechanism 31, the trigger element 31431 returns to its original position and moves away from the sensing element 3142. The sensing element 3142 immediately transmits the signal to the control system of the automatic printing vending machine for the mobile phone case 6. The structure is simple and the response is fast.

[0073] like Figure 10-12 As shown in a further specific embodiment, the positioning device 4 further includes a mounting base 43, a driving mechanism 44, and a transmission mechanism 45. The upper surface of the mounting base 43 is provided with the printing station 42. The driving mechanism 44 is installed inside the mounting base 43. The output end of the positioning mechanism 41 extends out of the mounting base 43 to position the phone case 6. The first end of the transmission mechanism 45 is connected to the output end of the driving mechanism 44, and the second end of the transmission mechanism 45 is connected to the positioning mechanism 41, which is used to drive the positioning mechanism 41 to move closer to or away from the middle of the mounting base 43.

[0074] The driving mechanism 44 drives the positioning mechanism 41 to move on the mounting base 43, expanding or shrinking the size of the printing station 42, thereby enabling the positioning of mobile phone cases 6 of various sizes. The structure is simple and reduces the customer's usage cost.

[0075] In a further specific embodiment, the positioning mechanism 41 includes a first positioning component 411 for positioning the width direction of the phone case 6 and a second positioning component 412 for positioning the length direction of the phone case 6. The first positioning component 411 and the second positioning component 412 are respectively installed in the mounting base 43. The output end of the first positioning component 411 passes through the mounting base 43, and the output end of the second positioning component 412 passes through the mounting base 43. The mounting base 43 is provided with a first perimeter 431 and a second perimeter 432 that are perpendicular to each other. The printing station 42 is formed between the output end of the first positioning component 411, the output end of the second positioning component 412, the first perimeter 431, and the second perimeter 432.

[0076] The first edge 431 and the second edge 432 limit the movement of the phone case 6 in two directions. It should be noted that both the first edge 431 and the second edge 432 are fixed to the upper surface of the mounting base 43 and will not move. The mounting base 43 has a first positioning groove 433 and a second positioning groove 434. The output end of the first positioning component 411 moves within the first positioning groove 433, and the output end of the second positioning component 412 moves within the second positioning groove 434. The first positioning groove 433 and the second positioning groove 434 restrict the movement paths of the first positioning component 411 and the second positioning component 412. By adjusting the positions of the first positioning component 411 and the second positioning component 412, the size of the printing station 42 can be adjusted, thereby limiting the movement of phone cases 6 of various sizes. It should be noted that the second edge 432 and the second positioning component 412 limit the length of the phone case 6, while the first edge 431 and the first positioning component 411 limit the width of the phone case 6.

[0077] like Figure 11-12 As shown in a further specific embodiment, the transmission mechanism 45 includes a first transmission component 451 and a second transmission component 452. The input ends of the first transmission component 451 and the second transmission component 452 are respectively connected to the output end of the drive mechanism 44. The output end of the first transmission component 451 is connected to the first positioning component 411, which is used to drive the first positioning component 411 closer to or away from the center of the mounting base 43. The output end of the second transmission component 452 is connected to the second positioning component 412, which is used to drive the second positioning component 412 closer to or away from the center of the mounting base 43.

[0078] In a further specific embodiment, the output end of the first transmission component 451 is provided with a first elastic element 453, the first end of the first elastic element 453 is connected to the first transmission component 451, the second end of the first elastic element 453 is connected to the first positioning component 411, the output end of the second transmission component 452 is provided with a second elastic element 454, the first end of the second elastic element 454 is connected to the second transmission component 452, and the second end of the second elastic element 454 is connected to the second positioning component 412.

[0079] The first elastic element 453 provides necessary elastic cushioning when the first positioning component 411 abuts against and limits the printing of the phone case 6. Similarly, the second elastic element 454 provides necessary elastic cushioning when the second positioning component 412 abuts against and limits the printing of the phone case 6. This avoids the rigid impact compression of the phone case 6 used in the prior art, which results in printing on an uneven surface and thus poor image quality.

[0080] In a preferred embodiment, both the first elastic element 453 and the second elastic element 454 in this embodiment are springs 31432. In other specific embodiments, rubber may also be used.

[0081] It should be noted that the second transmission assembly 452 in this embodiment includes a first transmission plate 4521, a second transmission plate 4522, and a guide member 4523. The first transmission plate 4521 is mounted on the output end of the drive mechanism 44, and the second transmission plate 4522 is movably disposed on the bottom of the mounting base 43. The first transmission plate 4521 has a guide groove 45211. The first end of the guide member 4523 is mounted on the second transmission plate 4522, and the second end of the guide member 4523 extends into the guide groove 45211. The first end of the second elastic member 454 is connected to the second transmission plate 4522, and the included angle between the first elastic member 453 and the second elastic member 454 is 45°. Through the arrangement of the first transmission plate 4521, the second transmission plate 4522, the guide member 4523, and the guide groove 45211, the motion trajectory of the first transmission plate 4521 is transformed from up-and-down movement to left-and-right movement of the third transmission plate. This enables the first positioning component 411 and the second positioning component 412 to be driven by the drive motor to position the two sides of the phone case 6 respectively.
