[0022] like Figure 1-7As shown, a cover-dropping device on an automatic vending machine includes a conveying device 1, a placement bin 2 and a rotating device 3. A baffle 4 is provided above the conveying device 1, and a placement bin 2 is fixedly installed above the baffle 4 by screws. A rotating device 3 is provided at the bottom of the placement bin 2. The rotating device 3 consists of a motor 5 and a turntable 6. The turntable 6 is movably installed at the bottom of the placement bin 2. One end of the turntable 6 is installed on a movable seat 9, and the other end of the turntable 6 is sleeved on the upper end of the fixed seat 10 and connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 5. The motor 5 is fixedly installed on the fixed seat 10. A plurality of openings 11 are provided on the turntable 6. The placement bin 2 is divided into a plurality of cover-dropping bins 12. Tea lids 13 are placed in the cover-dropping bins 12. A limit block 14 is provided on one side of the cover-dropping bin 12. A plurality of openings 11 are provided on the rotating disk, and the number of the openings 11 corresponds to the number of the cover drop bins 12. A plurality of motors 5 are provided on one side of the placement bin 2. The motors 5 correspond one to one with the turntable 6 at the bottom of the placement bin 2. The bottom of the baffle 4 is fixedly mounted on both sides of the conveying device 1. The end of the baffle 4 is integrally provided with a correction plate 15. The conveying device 1 consists of a roller 16 and a conveyor belt 17. The roller 16 is movably sleeved on the shaft seat 18. An adjustment seat 19 is provided on one side of the shaft seat 18. A bolt 20 is passed through the adjustment seat 19, and the end of the bolt 20 is threadedly fixed to the adjustment seat 19. A protective cover 7 is also provided on the outside of the motor 5. The protective cover 7 is fixedly mounted on the placement bin 2, and a support foot 8 is installed at the bottom of the conveying device 1 through a support block.

[0023] The present invention mainly consists of three parts: a conveying device 1, a placing bin 2 and a rotating device 3. The conveying device 1 is used to convey the tea lid 13 after it falls off, so that it is convenient to take it out. The conveying device 1 is composed of a roller 16 and a conveyor belt 17. The bottom of the conveying device 1 is provided with a support foot 8 through a support block. The support foot 8 is used to support and increase the stability of the conveying device 1. At the same time, the overall height can be adjusted. The roller 16 is movably sleeved on the shaft seat 18. The adjustment seat 19 on one side of the shaft seat 18 is threaded with a bolt 20. The other end of the bolt 20 is threadedly fixed to the adjustment seat 19. In this way, the position of the shaft seat 18 can be adjusted by the bolt 20 on the adjustment seat 19, thereby adjusting the roller 1. 6, the roller 16 at one end of the conveyor 1 adjusts its position, and the tightness of the conveyor belt 17 can be adjusted to facilitate transportation. A baffle 4 is provided above the conveyor 1, and the baffle 4 is used to block the fallen tea cover 13 to prevent the tea cover 13 from falling from both sides of the conveyor belt 17. A correction plate 15 is integrally provided at the end of the baffle 4. In this way, when the fallen tea cover 13 is irregular in shape, the gradually smaller outlet of the correction plate 15 will correct the tea cover 13 to a flat state. The baffle 4 is placed on both sides of the conveyor 1, which does not affect the transmission of the conveyor 1 while ensuring the stability of the baffle 4. A placement bin 2 is fixed above the baffle 4 by screws, and the bottom of the placement bin 2 is movably installed There is a turntable 6, one end of the turntable 6 is connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 5, a protective cover 7 is provided on the outside of the motor 5, the protective cover 7 is used to protect the motor 5, the other end passes through the placement bin 2 and is installed on the movable seat 9, the motor 5 is installed on the fixed seat 10, each motor 5 and the turntable 6 are set one-to-one, a plurality of openings 11 are provided in the turntable 6, the openings 11 are provided on the turntable 6, three openings 11 are provided in the present invention, and the angle of the three openings 11 on the turntable 6 is 120 degrees to set an opening 11. When a motor 5 drives the turntable 6 to rotate 120, the tea cover 13 falls into the turntable 6, and then falls onto the conveyor belt 17. The opening 11 is on the turntable 6. The disc surface does not overlap. For example, four openings 11 are opened, and each opening 11 occupies 90 degrees of the entire turntable 6. When the turntable 6 rotates 90 degrees, the tea cover 13 will fall off. The more openings 11, the smaller the rotation angle, and the tea cup will fall off. It is best to set three openings 11. The number of openings 11 corresponds to the number of horizontal cover drop bins 12, and the number of motors 5 corresponds to the number of placement bins 2. A limiting block 14 is set in the cover drop bin 12, and a tea cover 13 is placed in the cover drop bin 12. The tea cover 13 is placed on one side of the limiting block 14 to limit the position of the tea cover 13, thereby preventing the tea cover 13 from tilting when falling in the cover drop bin 12, thereby avoiding blockage.

[0024] Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the described embodiments or replace them with similar methods without departing from the spirit of the present invention or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
