Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of vending machines, and in particular to a mask vending machine. Background Art

[0002] In some public health emergencies, medical masks have become essential protective equipment for people when entering and leaving public places. Since medical masks can completely cover and protect the wearer's mouth and nose, preventing pathogens from infecting the human body through the mouth and nose, they are suitable for preventing most germs. When people are in public places, forgetting or losing their masks, or when the masks are damaged, it will cause great inconvenience and increase the risk of infection. Therefore, many mask vending machines have appeared on the market, making it convenient for people to buy masks anytime and anywhere.

[0003] Although there are many types of mask vending machines on the market, existing mask vending machines still have shortcomings. For example, considering that mask vending machines are often used in public health emergencies, most of them are placed in public places with potential pathogens, and masks themselves are items for close use, but most existing mask vending machines do not have good internal and external isolation effects. Long-term exposure to potential contaminated areas is likely to cause the masks stored inside or the outer packaging of the masks to be contaminated, and the masks sold will further lead to cross-infection.

[0028] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a mask vending machine comprises: a chassis 1, a partition 14, a first driving mechanism, a second driving mechanism and a loading platform 11, wherein the loading platform 2 is arranged below the chassis 1, and the loading platform 2 is communicated with the outside of the chassis 1; the loading platform 11 is horizontally arranged above the inside of the chassis 1; a vertical material discharge channel 5 is provided in the chassis 1, and the partition 14 is arranged in the chassis 1 to separate the loading platform 11 from the material discharge channel 5;

[0029] An air inlet channel is provided at the top of the unloading channel 5, a blower 8 is provided in the air inlet channel, and a filter element 9 is provided at the top of the air inlet channel; the lower end of the unloading channel 5 is communicated with the fetching platform 2; a horizontally arranged sliding plate 4 is provided in the unloading channel 5, the sliding plate 4 is slidably connected with the chassis 1, and the sliding plate 4 closes the unloading channel 5; a through groove is provided at the junction of the partition plate 14 and the loading platform 11, a cover plate 6 is provided in the through groove, and the upper end of the cover plate 6 is hinged to the through groove;

[0030] A turntable 7 is provided on the loading platform 11, and the turntable 7 is rotatably connected to the loading platform 11; a through slot 13 is provided on the outer edge of the turntable 7, and the slot 13 is used to place the mask; a notch is provided on the side of the loading platform 11 close to the push plate for the mask to pass through, and the notch is connected to the through groove, and a bending portion is formed at the lower end of the cover plate 6 to cover the notch; a top block 12 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the turntable 7, and the top block 12 abuts against the inner wall of the cover plate 6; the rotation path of the slot 13 passes above the notch; the first driving mechanism is used to drive the turntable 7 to rotate, and the second driving mechanism is used to drive the sliding plate 4 to slide in the horizontal direction.

[0031] The working principle of the vending machine of the present invention is described in detail below. When there are no customers buying, the sliding plate 4 closes the entire feeding channel 5, separates the feeding channel 5 from the picking platform 2, and prevents pathogens in the open space of the picking platform 2 from entering the feeding channel 5. And. At this time, the slot 13 is staggered with the notch, and the top block 12 is staggered with the cover plate 6, and the masks to be sold stay on the loading platform 11 and cannot escape from the notch. When a customer buys and needs to output the mask, the blower 8 can be started, and the second drive mechanism can be started to drive the sliding plate 4 at the same time, so that the feeding channel 5 is connected. Since the feeding channel 5 is connected to the picking platform 2, the airflow is always downward, which effectively prevents pathogens suspended in the air from entering the feeding channel 5. Then start the first drive mechanism and rotate the turntable 7 to align the slot 13 with the notch. At the same time, the top block 12 lifts the cover plate 6 to open the notch. In this way, the mask in the corresponding slot 13 will lose the support of the loading platform 11, pass through the gap and the channel in turn, fall into the material discharge channel 5, and finally fall onto the picking platform 2, and the customer can take the mask from the picking platform 2. Then, the second driving mechanism is started, the material discharge channel 5 is closed, and the blower 8 is turned off. The case 1 is provided with a coin slot 10 for foreign currency, which is convenient for customers to pay by coin.

[0032] Through the above arrangement, when the material discharge channel 5 is opened, a directional airflow is formed by the blower 8 to prevent external pathogens from entering the material discharge channel 5. At the same time, the partition 14 and the cover plate 6 are provided to separate the loading platform 11 for storing masks from the material discharge channel 5, thereby forming a good isolation effect. On the other hand, by providing the turntable 7 with the top block 12 and the notch, the cover plate 6 is opened immediately when the material is discharged. After the material is discharged, the top block 12 is staggered with the cover plate 6, the cover plate 6 is reset, and the through slot is closed again, thereby further improving the isolation effect and preventing external pathogens from contaminating the mask.

[0033] Furthermore, a nozzle is provided above the loading platform 11, and the nozzle is connected to a container containing alcohol, so that alcohol can be sprayed onto the mask regularly for disinfection.

[0034] Furthermore, a horizontally arranged isolation plate 3 is provided below the sliding plate 4, and the isolation plate 3 is slidably connected to the chassis 1, and a temporary storage area is formed between the sliding plate 4 and the isolation plate 3, and an ultraviolet lamp is provided in the temporary storage area. During the discharging process, the sliding plate 4 can be opened first, so that the mask falls on the isolation plate 3, and then the sliding plate 4 is closed. In this way, before the mask falls on the retrieval platform 2, it first enters the temporary storage area, and after the ultraviolet lamp is turned on for disinfection, the isolation plate 3 is turned on to make the mask fall on the retrieval platform 2. Then, after closing the isolation plate 3, the ultraviolet lamp is turned on again for secondary disinfection. By forming a temporary storage area, the retrieval platform 2 and the unloading channel 5 are further isolated.

[0035] In addition, rollers are installed under the chassis 1 to facilitate the movement of the chassis 1. A lighting device is installed on the retrieval table 2 to prevent the mask from falling out from being difficult to see at night. A magnet is fixedly installed at the lower end of the through groove, and the cover plate 6 is made of iron. The cover plate 6 is ensured to be completely closed by magnetic attraction. A sealing gasket is provided on the inner wall of the through groove to improve the sealing. A sprayer is provided under the blower 8, and the sprayer is connected to a container filled with alcohol, so that the blower 8 sprays alcohol while blowing air, thereby improving the disinfection effect.
