[0032] By providing an annular refrigeration pipe 42, the cold source can be evenly transported to the interior of the selling warehouse 21, so that the cold source distribution is more even, and the uniform distribution of the temperature inside the selling warehouse 21 is guaranteed. The movable and adjustable movable storage tray 6 is convenient for storing and taking out objects. The detection device 7 detects the opening state of the warehouse door 8 to facilitate the control of the solenoid valve 5 and the indicator light 9. The indicator light 9 is started through the detection structure and the contact structure to remind the user to close the warehouse door 8 in time, which effectively avoids forgetting to close the warehouse door 8. When the warehouse door 8 is not closed, the cold source transported by the refrigeration pipe 42 is prevented from continuously leaking, causing a large amount of energy waste, thereby improving the stability of equipment use and saving energy and protecting the environment.

[0033] There are twelve groups of structures of the warehouse door 8, and the twelve groups of structures of the warehouse door 8 correspond to the structures of twelve groups of refrigeration pipes 42 and shunt pipes 41. Each shunt pipe 41 is correspondingly provided with a solenoid valve 5 and a detection device 7, so that each warehouse door 8 is individually controlled.

[0034] When the device is used as a whole, all electronic devices are connected to an external power supply.

[0035] The interior of the sealing groove 22 is communicated with the interior of the selling bin 21 , and the two sliding grooves 23 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the selling bin 21 .

[0036] The sealing groove 22 is used to install the warehouse door 8 to facilitate the opening of the warehouse door 8. After the warehouse door 8 is opened, it is convenient to take out the goods placed inside the selling warehouse 21.

[0037] The interiors of the two sliding grooves 23 are communicated with the interior of the selling bin 21 , and the bottom of the refrigeration device body 3 is fixed to the top of the format selling shelf 2 .

[0038] The sliding groove 23 facilitates the movement and adjustment of the mobile storage tray 6, and a limiting sliding shaft 62 is arranged inside the sliding groove 23 to provide support and limiting function for the movement and adjustment of the mobile slider 61, thereby ensuring the stability of the mobile slider 61 during movement and adjustment. Corresponding limiting sliding shafts 62 are arranged inside the two sliding grooves 23, and two corresponding mobile sliders 61 are arranged on the two limiting sliding shafts 62. The four mobile sliders 61 form a group of sliding structures, and the four mobile sliders 61 are fixed to the surface of the mobile storage tray 6 to support and fix the mobile storage tray 6. The mobile storage tray 6 can be stably moved and adjusted inside the vending bin 21 through the mobile slider 61, thereby facilitating the placement and retrieval of objects inside the mobile storage tray 6.

[0039] The output end of the shunt pipe 41 passes through one side of the format vending rack 2 and extends to the interior of the vending bin 21. The top of the refrigeration pipe 42 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the vending bin 21. The refrigeration pipe 42 is an annular structure as a whole.

[0040] The annular refrigeration pipe 42 facilitates the uniform delivery of the cold source to the interior of the selling bin 21 , making the cold source distribution more uniform, thereby ensuring the uniform distribution of the temperature inside the selling bin 21 .

[0041] The surface of the limiting sliding shaft 62 is slidably connected to the movable sliding block 61 , and a protective baffle 63 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable storage tray 6 .

[0042] The mobile storage tray 6 can be conveniently pulled out and pushed by the protective baffle 63. At the same time, the protective baffle 63 shields and protects the objects inside the mobile storage tray 6, effectively preventing the objects from falling off and improving the stability of the objects when they are stored.

[0043] The detection box 71 is fixed on the format vending rack 2 , and the surface of the linkage plate 73 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the detection box 71 .

[0044] The first contact connector 75 and the second contact connector 76 are located between the fixing plate 74 and the linkage plate 73 , and the first contact connector 75 and the second contact connector 76 are adapted to each other.

[0045] One end of the detection rod 77 passes through the fixing plate 74 and the detection box 71 in sequence and extends to the inside of the sealing groove 22 , and one end of the detection rod 77 is a hemispherical structure, and the surface of the warehouse door 8 contacts the surface of the detection rod 77 .

[0046] The detection device 7 is mainly used to detect whether the door 8 is completely closed. When the door 8 is not closed after opening, the detection device 7 activates the indicator light 9 through the detection structure and the contact structure to remind the user to close the door 8 in time, effectively avoiding forgetting to close the door 8;

[0047] At the same time, at the moment the warehouse door 8 is opened, the contact structure on the detection device 7 contacts and controls the electromagnetic valve 5 to be closed. After the electromagnetic valve 5 is closed, the refrigeration pipe 42 inside the corresponding sales warehouse 21 stops transporting the cold source, which effectively avoids the energy waste caused by the loss of a large amount of cold source when the warehouse door 8 is opened, and is more energy-saving and environmentally friendly. At the same time, when the warehouse door 8 is completely closed, the detection device 7 is always in a contact contact state, which avoids the continuous leakage of the cold source transported by the refrigeration pipe 42 when the warehouse door 8 is not closed, causing a large amount of energy waste, thereby improving the stability of equipment use and saving energy and protecting the environment.

[0048] The warehouse door 8 is rotatably connected to the inside of the sealing groove 22 through a hinge, and the size of the warehouse door 8 is adapted to the size of the selling warehouse 21.

[0049] The door 8 is used to close the selling chamber 21. A corresponding locking structure is provided between the door 8 and the sealing groove 22. The locking structure adopts the existing express cabinet door locking structure.

[0050] After the door 8 is opened, the indicator light 9 is started by the detection device 7, and the electromagnetic valve 5 is closed by the detection device 7. The indicator light 9 is turned on to remind the user to close the door after picking up the goods. After the electromagnetic valve 5 is closed, the refrigeration pipe 42 inside the corresponding selling warehouse 21 stops refrigeration, avoiding energy loss and ensuring the stability of equipment operation.

[0051] When the door 8 is completely closed, the detection device 7 controls the indicator light 9 to be turned off, and the solenoid valve 5 is reopened at the same time. After the solenoid valve 5 is opened, the interior of the refrigeration pipe 42 is refrigerated again to ensure the normal operation of the refrigeration.

[0052] The indicator light 9 can be replaced by a sound alarm device or a sound and light alarm device to remind the user to close the door in time.

[0053] The first contact connector 75 and the second contact connector 76 are connected in series to the control end of the solenoid valve 5 , and the first contact connector 75 and the second contact connector 76 are connected in series to the control end of the indicator light 9 .

[0054] When the first contact connector 75 and the second contact connector 76 are in contact, the solenoid valve 5 is closed and the indicator light 9 is turned on;

[0055] When the first contact connector 75 and the second contact connector 76 are separated, the solenoid valve 5 is in an open state, and the indicator light 9 is turned off;

[0056] When the door 8 is fully opened, the surface of the door 8 contacts the detection rod 77, and the detection rod 77 pushes the linkage plate 73 to compress the pressure spring 72. When the linkage plate 73 moves, it simultaneously drives the first contact connector 75 to move to the side away from the second contact connector 76, so that the first contact connector 75 and the second contact connector 76 are separated, so that the contact structure on the detection device 7 is in a separated state, so that the solenoid valve 5 is restored to the open state, and the indicator light 9 is in a closed state;

[0057] When the warehouse door 8 is open, there is no contact between the surface of the warehouse door 8 and the detection rod 77, and the linkage plate 73 is pushed to move in the direction of the detection rod 77 under the elastic force of the pressure spring 72. When moving, the linkage plate 73 simultaneously drives the first contact connector 75 to approach the second contact connector 76, so that the first contact connector 75 and the second contact connector 76 are in contact, so that the contact structure on the detection device 7 is in a contact state.

[0058] The working principle of the self-service vending machine provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0059] When in use, the door 8 is opened first. After the door is opened, the movable storage tray 6 is pulled out to the opening of the sealing groove 22 through the protective baffle 63 to facilitate the objects above the movable storage tray 6 to be taken or stored;

[0060] After the door 8 is opened, the surface of the door 8 is not in contact with the detection rod 77, and the linkage plate 73 is pushed to move in the direction of the detection rod 77 by the elastic force of the pressure spring 72. When the linkage plate 73 moves, it simultaneously drives the first contact connector 75 to approach the second contact connector 76, so that the first contact connector 75 and the second contact connector 76 are in contact, so that the contact structure on the detection device 7 is in a contact state;

[0061] When the warehouse door 8 is closed, the surface of the warehouse door 8 contacts the detection rod 77, and the detection rod 77 pushes the linkage plate 73 to synchronously compress the pressure spring 72. When the linkage plate 73 moves, it simultaneously drives the first contact connector 75 to move to the side away from the second contact connector 76, so that the first contact connector 75 and the second contact connector 76 are separated, so that the contact structure on the detection device 7 is in a separated state, so that the solenoid valve 5 is restored to the open state, and the indicator light 9 is in the closed state.

[0062] Compared with the related art, the self-service vending machine provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0063] By providing an annular refrigeration pipe 42, the cold source can be evenly transported to the interior of the selling warehouse 21, so that the cold source distribution is more even, and the uniform distribution of the temperature inside the selling warehouse 21 is guaranteed. The movable and adjustable movable storage tray 6 is convenient for storing and taking out objects. The detection device 7 detects the opening state of the warehouse door 8 to facilitate the control of the solenoid valve 5 and the indicator light 9. The indicator light 9 is started through the detection structure and the contact structure to remind the user to close the warehouse door 8 in time, which effectively avoids forgetting to close the warehouse door 8. When the warehouse door 8 is not closed, the cold source transported by the refrigeration pipe 42 is prevented from continuously leaking, causing a large amount of energy waste, thereby improving the stability of equipment use and saving energy and protecting the environment.

[0064] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention.
