Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of food processing equipment, and in particular relates to a multifunctional automatic vending machine. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, shopping malls and cinemas have become the choice of leisure and entertainment for more and more people. These places with large traffic usually have equipment for selling snacks, bottled drinks, coffee, ice cream, popcorn, and shared power banks. These equipment are usually set up separately and placed in different places in the mall. When consumers have multiple needs, they usually need to find another equipment to make a purchase, which is inconvenient for consumers. In addition, in order to make these vending machines more conspicuous, they are usually set up in a large shape. However, in order to ensure the freshness of the food, not much food is placed in these vending machines, resulting in a lot of space in these equipment not being used, the space utilization rate is not high, and the profit is not maximized.

[0003] In order to integrate the vending equipment for the above-mentioned multiple foods, the vending equipment structure for a single food needs to be more compact. The vending equipment for popcorn usually requires a larger space to make and store more popcorn. The popcorn discharge port is usually located at the bottom, but the height of the discharge port is not convenient for consumers to take. Therefore, a conveying structure is required to transport the cup bucket from the bottom of the discharge hopper to a pick-up position that is convenient for consumers to take. The popcorn discharge is generally provided with a structure to control the discharge. These two structures are generally not related, resulting in the cup bucket needing to bypass the discharge port and then be transported upward to the pick-up position. The number of conveying steps increases, and the required space increases, which is not conducive to integrating the vending equipment for multiple foods. In addition, the energy consumption of the control and conveying structure increases, which is not conducive to reducing production costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the defects in the prior art that the devices for selling snacks, beverages, instant drinks, popcorn and providing shared power banks are separately set, which is inconvenient for consumers to use and easily leads to low space utilization, the present invention provides a multifunctional vending machine that can integrate the devices for selling snacks, beverages, instant drinks, popcorn and providing shared power banks, which is convenient for consumers to use and has a compact structure, thereby improving space utilization.

[0005] The object of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A multifunctional vending machine includes a frame, a snack vending device, a beverage vending device containing at least two beverages, a popcorn vending device, a power bank rental device, a bag dispensing device, a cleaning device capable of cleaning the beverage vending device, and a control system. The frame is divided into a first cavity and a second cavity arranged vertically, a third cavity arranged to the left and right of the first and second cavities, and a fourth cavity located above the first, second, and third cavities. The beverage vending device is installed in the first cavity, the power bank rental device, the bag dispensing device, and part of the cleaning device are installed in the second cavity, the popcorn vending device is installed in the third cavity, and the snack vending device is installed in the fourth cavity.

[0044] In this embodiment, reference Figure 2-Figure 5 The popcorn vending device 4 includes a feeding mechanism 41, a popcorn making mechanism 42, a hopper 43 for outputting popcorn, and a cup bucket conveying mechanism capable of conveying cup buckets to the bottom of the hopper 43. The cup bucket conveying mechanism includes a meal-taking position 441 for convenient user meal-taking, and a longitudinal moving structure 442 capable of conveying the cup buckets from the bottom of the hopper 43 to the meal-taking position 441. The lower end of the popcorn making mechanism 42 is hinged with an opening and closing plate 421 that enables it to communicate with the hopper 43. The hopper 43 includes a top plate 431 at its upper end. The top plate 431 The upper end is flush with the lower end of the opening and closing plate 421, and the discharge hopper 43 is connected to a driving member 432 that enables it to move back and forth. When the driving member 432 pushes the discharge hopper 43 in a direction away from the cup barrel conveying mechanism, the top of the cup barrel is exposed to make room for the cup barrel conveying mechanism to move upward, and the top plate 431 pushes the opening and closing plate 421 suspended due to its own weight to rotate upward and close the popcorn making mechanism 42. When the driving member 432 pushes the discharge hopper 43 in the direction of the cup barrel conveying mechanism, the opening and closing plate 421 rotates downward by its own gravity and opens the popcorn making mechanism 42.

[0045] In this embodiment, reference Figure 2-Figure 8 A cup rack 46 for placing stacked cup barrels is provided above the cup barrel conveying mechanism. The cup barrel conveying mechanism also includes a cup receiving position 443 for receiving the cup barrels falling from the cup rack 46, and a horizontal moving structure 444 that can convey the cup barrels from the cup receiving position 443 to the discharge hopper 43. One end of the horizontal moving structure 444 corresponds to the position of the cup receiving position 443, and the other end corresponds to the position of the longitudinal moving structure 442.

[0046] The cup bucket falls from the cup rack 46 to the cup receiving position 443, and then is transported from the cup receiving position 443 to the bottom of the discharge hopper 43 by the horizontal moving structure 444 to hold the popcorn output from the discharge hopper 43. Then, the cup bucket is transported upward to the meal pickup position 441 by the vertical moving structure 442 for consumers to take the popcorn.

[0047] In this embodiment, the lateral moving structure 444 includes a first conveying motor 4441, which is laterally connected to a first screw rod 4442. The outer wall of the first screw rod 4442 is sleeved with a first slider 4443, and the first slider 4443 is connected to a sleeve 445 that can be sleeved on the outer wall of the cup barrel.

[0048] The first conveying motor 4441 drives the first screw rod 4442 to rotate, the first screw rod 4442 drives the first slider 4443 to move horizontally, and the first slider 4443 drives the sleeve 445 to move, thereby realizing the conveyance of the cup barrel from the cup receiving position 443 to the bottom of the discharge hopper 43.

[0049] In this embodiment, the longitudinal moving structure 442 cooperates with the driving member 432, including a second conveying motor 4421, the second conveying motor 4421 is connected to a second screw rod 4422, the outer wall of the second screw rod 4422 is sleeved with a second slider 4423, and the second slider 4423 is connected to a first support plate 446 that can pass through the sleeve 445 and support the cup barrel.

[0050] When the driving member 432 drives the discharge hopper 43 to move in a direction away from the cup bucket conveying structure, the top of the cup bucket is no longer blocked by the discharge hopper 43. At this time, the second conveying motor 4421 can be started to drive the second screw rod 4422 to rotate, and the second screw rod 4422 drives the second slider 4423 to move, and the second slider 4423 drives the first support plate 446 to move, thereby realizing the conveyance of the cup bucket from the bottom of the discharge hopper 43 to the food pickup position 441.

[0051] In this embodiment, reference Figure 6-Figure 8 The cup rack 46 is connected to a cup separation structure 45 capable of separating stacked cup buckets individually, including a separation portion 451 capable of separating a single cup bucket, and a first driving portion 452 capable of driving the separation portion 451 to move. The separation portion 451 is slidably connected to the frame 1, and the separation portion 451 is slidably connected to the first driving portion 452 up and down;

[0052] The separating portion 451 includes a supporting plate 4511 that can rest against the lower end of the cup barrel, and a pushing plate 4512 connected to the top of the supporting plate 4511. A clamping gap 453 is left between the supporting plate 4511 and the pushing plate 4512 to allow the edge of the cup barrel to pass through. A falling notch 454 is opened in the middle of the supporting plate 4511; the frame 1 is provided with a first horizontal slide groove 4551 and a first oblique slide groove 4552 that are connected, and the separating portion 451 is slidably connected to the first horizontal slide groove 4551.

[0053] The first driving part 452 drives the separating part 451 to move toward the cup barrel along the first horizontal sliding groove 4551. At this time, the edge of the cup barrel is inserted into the clamping gap 453. The first driving part 452 continues to drive. At this time, the separating part 451 moves toward the cup barrel along the first oblique sliding groove 4552, so that the middle part of the edge of the cup barrel gradually aligns with the falling notch 454. The separating part 451 also moves downward, so that the push plate 4512 pushes the cup barrel downward, thereby separating the cup barrel from the stacked cup bodies and falling from the falling notch 454.

[0054] In this embodiment, the supporting plate 4511 is longer than the pushing plate 4512 , and the protruding portion of the supporting plate 4511 serves as the receiving portion 456 , and the falling notch 454 is located directly below the pushing plate 4512 .

[0055] After the cup barrels fall, the push plate 4512 supports the remaining cup barrels and reversely drives the first driving part 452 to move the separation part 451 in the direction away from the cup barrels. Then the remaining cup barrels fall from the upper push plate 4512 to the receiving part 456 of the support plate 4511. At this time, the edge of the cup barrels is again located in the clamping gap 453. When the separation part 451 is pushed toward the cup barrel again, the cup barrels can be separated again.

[0056] In this embodiment, the cup separation structure 45 also includes a supporting member 457 located below the separation part 451 for supporting all cup barrels. The supporting member 457 includes a supporting plate 4571 slidingly connected to the frame 1 and a second driving part 4572 capable of driving the supporting plate 4571 to move. The frame 1 is provided with a second oblique slide groove 4581 and a second horizontal slide groove 4582 that are connected to each other. The supporting plate 4571 is slidingly connected to the second oblique slide groove 4581.

[0057] When the separating portion 451 is not in contact with the cup bucket, the supporting plate 4571 supports the lower end of the cup bucket. When the separating portion 451 slides down along the first oblique groove 4552, the supporting plate 4571 also slides down along the second oblique groove 4581. At this time, the cup bucket is pushed downward by the pushing plate 4512, and the supporting plate 4571 moves downward along with the separating portion 451, making room for the cup bucket to fall smoothly.

[0058] After the supporting plate 4571 moves along the second oblique slide groove 4581 , it can slide along the second horizontal slide groove 4582 to move the supporting plate 4571 away from the cup bucket, thereby more clearly exposing the situation in the cup rack 46 and facilitating cleaning.

[0059] In this embodiment, an auxiliary support plate 459 is provided above the separation portion 451 and is horizontally slidably connected to the frame 1 . The auxiliary support plate 459 is connected to the first driving portion 452 .

[0060] When the driving part drives the separation part 451 to move toward the cup barrel, the auxiliary support plate 459 also moves toward the cup barrel and makes it rest against the lower end of the edge of the cup barrel, separating the cup barrel to be separated from the rest of the cup barrels, preventing the rest of the cup barrels from exerting pressure on the push plate 4512 and affecting the movement of the separation part 451, thereby ensuring that the cup barrels can be separated smoothly.

[0061] In this embodiment, the first driving part 452 includes a stabilizing plate 4521 connected to the frame 1, a first electric push rod 4522 connected to the stabilizing plate 4521, the first electric push rod 4522 is connected to the separating part 451 through a connecting plate 4523, and a slide rail 4524 is further provided at the upper end of the stabilizing plate 4521. The slide rail 4524 is slidably connected to a slider, the separating part 451 is slidably connected to the slider up and down, the auxiliary support plate 459 is connected to the slider, and the second driving part 4572 has the same structure as the first driving part 452.

[0062] The first electric push rod 4522 drives the separation portion 451 to move through the connecting plate 4523 , the separation portion 451 drives the slider to move along the slide rail 4524 , and the slider drives the auxiliary support plate 459 to move.

[0063] In this embodiment, reference Figure 2 The beverage vending device 3 includes a coffee vending mechanism 31 and an ice cream vending mechanism 32, and the coffee vending mechanism 31 and the ice cream vending mechanism 32 are arranged side by side on the left and right.
