[0050] Specifically, a front upper through slot 101 is provided on the front upper side of the cabinet 1; the opening and closing mechanism 2 is arranged on the front side inside the cabinet 1, and is used for opening and closing the front upper through slot 101; the material storage and discharging mechanism 3 is arranged on the rear side inside the cabinet 1, and is used for storing and discharging materials; the conveying mechanism 4 is arranged inside the cabinet 1, and is located at the lower side of the opening and closing mechanism 2 and the material storage and discharging mechanism 3; the loading and moving frame 5 is arranged on the upper side of the conveying mechanism 4, and is driven by the conveying mechanism 4 to move between the front upper through slot 101 and the lower side of the material storage and discharging mechanism 3, and is used for loading the materials output by the material storage and discharging mechanism 3 and moving and lifting out of the front upper through slot 101 to present the materials for sale.

[0051] The automatic replenishment vending cabinet of the present application loads materials through the loading and moving frame 5 to sell materials. When the materials in the loading and moving frame 5 are about to be sold out or sold out, the loading and moving frame 5 can be transported to the lower side of the storage and discharging mechanism 3 by the transporting mechanism 4, and then the materials are output to the loading and moving frame 5 by the storage and discharging mechanism 3. In this process, when the loading and moving frame 5 descends to the inside of the cabinet 1, the opening and closing mechanism 2 is used to close the front upper through slot 101. When the loading and moving frame 5 is full of sales materials, the loading and moving frame 5 is transported and moved to the lower side of the opening and closing mechanism 2 by the transporting mechanism 4, and then the opening and closing mechanism 2 is opened. As the transporting mechanism 4 lifts the loading and moving frame 5 out of the front upper through slot 101, the purpose of automatic replenishment and sales is achieved, which not only greatly facilitates sales, but also minimizes the labor intensity of sales replenishment staff, and also greatly reduces the sales cost of the enterprise.

[0052] Furthermore, the opening and closing mechanism 2 includes a longitudinal guide beam 21, a front cover plate 22, a front cover plate opening and closing drive group 23, a rear cover plate 24, and a rear cover plate opening and closing drive group 25. The front upper through slot 101 is opened on the counter 1. The longitudinal guide beam 21 is arranged at the lower right side of the front upper through slot 101. The front cover plate 22 is arranged on the left side of the longitudinal guide beam 21. The front cover plate opening and closing drive group 23 is arranged between the lower side of the upper panel of the counter 1 and the front cover plate 22 and the longitudinal guide beam 21, and is used to drive the front cover plate 22 to open and close the front half of the front upper through slot 101. The rear cover plate 24 is arranged on the left side of the longitudinal guide beam 21, and is located at the rear side of the front cover plate 22. The rear cover plate opening and closing driving group 25 is disposed between the lower side of the upper panel of the counter 1 and the rear cover plate 24 and the longitudinal guide beam 21, and is used to drive the rear cover plate 24 to open and close the rear half of the front upper through slot 101. The advantage is that the front cover plate 22 and the rear cover plate 24 can be opened and closed automatically.

[0053] Furthermore, a transverse through guide groove 211 is formed on the longitudinal guide beam 21 along its transverse direction.

The front end of the front right telescopic arm 232 is connected to the right front side of the front cover plate 22, and its rear end is sleeved on the front connecting shaft 231 for telescopic movement. The front end of the front left telescopic arm 233 is connected to the left front side of the front cover plate 22, and its rear end is sleeved on the front connecting shaft 231, and can be telescopically moved synchronously with the front right telescopic arm 232. The front rotation drive group 234 is arranged on the left side of the front connecting shaft 231, and its power output end is connected to the left end of the front connecting shaft 231, and is used to drive the front connecting shaft 231 to rotate so as to drive the front left telescopic arm 233 and the front right telescopic arm 232 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the front cover plate 22 to rotate. The left end of the front guide connecting pin 235 is connected to the right rear side of the front cover plate 22, and the right end thereof is sleeved in the transverse through guide groove 211 and extends to the right side of the transverse through guide groove 211. The front telescopic drive group 236 is arranged on the right front side of the longitudinal guide beam 21, and its power output end is connected to the right end of the front guide connecting pin 235, and is used to cooperate with the front rotation drive group 234 to open and close the front half of the front upper through slot 101. The advantage is that the front cover plate 22 can be opened and closed automatically, so that the front cover plate 22 can be stored in the front side of the front upper through slot 101 after being opened, which can not only reduce the opening space occupied by opening the front cover plate 22, but also facilitate the opening and closing of the front cover plate 22.

[0056] Furthermore, the rear cover plate opening and closing driving group 25 is symmetrically arranged with the front cover plate opening and closing driving group 23. The purpose is to achieve the synchronous opening and closing of the rear cover plate 24 while opening and closing the front cover plate 22.

[0057] Furthermore, the material storage and discharging mechanism 3 includes a material storage hopper 31, a discharging shell 32, a rotating opening and closing cover 33, and a rotating opening and closing cover driving group 34. The material storage hopper 31 is used to store materials; the discharging shell 32 is arranged at the lower side of the material storage hopper 31, and is provided with an upper and lower through chamber 321 which is connected to the material storage hopper 31 and can be used to discharge materials; the rotating opening and closing cover 33 is hinged to the left and right sides of the discharging shell 32, and can be used to close the lower opening of the upper and lower through chamber 321 to block the discharge of materials; the rotating opening and closing cover driving group 34 is arranged at the rear side of the material storage hopper 31, and its power output end is connected to the rotating opening and closing cover 33, and is used to drive the rotating opening and closing cover 33 to rotate forward and backward to close the lower opening of the upper and lower through chamber 321. Its advantage is to achieve the purpose of automatically discharging materials.

[0058] Furthermore, the transport mechanism 4 includes a longitudinal drive group 41 and an up-and-down lifting drive group 42. The longitudinal drive group 41 is arranged at the bottom of the cabinet 1 along the longitudinal direction of the cabinet 1; the up-and-down lifting drive group 42 is arranged on the upper side of the longitudinal drive group 41, and is driven by the longitudinal drive group 41 to move back and forth, and is located at the lower side of the loading and moving frame 5, and is used to lift the loading and moving frame 5 up and down. Its purpose is to achieve forward and backward movement and up-and-down lifting movement, thereby meeting the purpose of transporting the loading and moving frame 5.

[0059] Furthermore, the automatic replenishment vending machine also includes a weight sensor group 6 disposed between the loading moving frame 5 and the conveying mechanism 4 and electrically connected to the opening and closing mechanism 2, the storage and discharging mechanism 3 and the conveying mechanism 4. The weight sensor group 6 includes at least one gravity sensor. The purpose of using the gravity sensor is that when the weight of the material loaded by the loading moving frame 5 is less than the set value, the opening and closing mechanism 2 can be controlled to open by the gravity sensor, and at the same time, the conveying mechanism 4 moves the loading moving frame 5 to the bottom of the storage and discharging mechanism 3, and then cooperates with the position sensor to control the storage and discharging mechanism 3 to output the material to the loading moving frame 5. When the weight of the loaded material received by the loading moving frame 5 reaches the preset value, the conveying mechanism 4 can be controlled to move the loading moving frame 5 out of the front upper through slot 101, thereby realizing automatic operation.

[0060] Furthermore, the automatic replenishment vending cabinet further comprises a fence 7 disposed on the upper front side of the cabinet body 1 and located outside the upper front through slot 101 for enclosure, which has the advantage of achieving the purpose of enclosure.

[0061] In summary, the implementation methods of the present application have been described in detail, but the present application is not limited to the above implementation methods. Even if various changes are made to the present application, they still fall within the protection scope of the present application.
