[0058] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , Fig.15 - Fig.18 The first wiring groove 1021 and / or the second wiring groove 1022 are arc-shaped wiring grooves, because the arc-shaped wiring grooves can avoid the appearance of right angles and acute angles, thereby reducing the abruptness and clutter of the wires. In addition, the arc-shaped design of the first wiring groove 1021 and / or the second wiring groove 1022 can reduce the pressure and friction on the wires during the laying process, thereby reducing the risk of damage or aging of the wires. Of course, a number of wire clamping parts 1028 are also provided in the first wiring groove 1021 and / or the second wiring groove 1022. The wire clamping part 1028 in the first wiring groove 1021 is used to clamp the wires in the first wiring groove 1021, and the wire clamping part 1028 in the second wiring groove 1022 is used to clamp the wires in the second wiring groove 1022.

The Z-shaped card buckle 1072 on one vending cabinet 10 is snap-fitted with the second card slot 1061 on the other vending cabinet 10. When two vending cabinets 10 are spliced ​​together left and right, the Z-shaped card buckle 1072 on one vending cabinet 10 is inserted into the second card slot 1061 on the other vending cabinet 10. Since multiple vending cabinets are spliced ​​together left and right and vertically to form multiple layers of vending cabinets, each layer of vending cabinets has multiple vending cabinets 10 spliced ​​together left and right; for the adjacent vending cabinets 10 spliced ​​together left and right on the bottom layer, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 A locking member 9 can be provided between the L-shaped buckle of one vending cabinet 10 and the L-shaped buckle of another vending cabinet 10, and the adjacent left and right spliced ​​vending cabinets 10 at the bottom layer can be locked by the locking member 9; in the two vending cabinets 10 in the vertical splicing combination, the upper and lower spliced ​​vending cabinets 10 are locked because the locking member and the locking head 1053 are threadedly connected and locked, so the upper adjacent left and right spliced ​​vending cabinets 10 will not loosen, thereby realizing the left-right and vertical combination splicing and fixing of the two vending cabinets 10, and improving the effect of the combination splicing and fixing.

[0062] Further, refer to Figure 7 - Fig.12 , a mounting groove 1071 is provided on the right side 107 of the vending cabinet 10; the Z-shaped buckle 1072 includes a fixing portion 1073 and a clamping portion 1074, the fixing portion 1073 and the clamping portion 1074 are connected to form a "Z"-shaped structure, the fixing portion 1073 can be fixed in the mounting groove 1071 by screws, and the clamping portion 1074 on one vending cabinet 10 is clamped and adapted with the second clamping groove 1061 on another vending cabinet 10, so as to realize the left-right combination splicing of two vending cabinets 10. Exemplarily, there are two Z-shaped buckles 1072 and second clamping grooves 1061 on each vending cabinet 10, each second clamping groove 1061 corresponds to each Z-shaped buckle 1072 one by one, and the two Z-shaped buckles 10721 are respectively located at the top and bottom of the right side 107, so that the fixing effect after the left-right combination splicing of the two vending cabinets 1 can be improved to prevent loosening.

[0063] In summary, the modular combination vending machine of the present invention can realize horizontal left-right combination splicing, and can also realize vertical splicing combination, which greatly improves the application scenarios of the modular combination vending machine.

[0064] Of course, in order to avoid confusion in the wiring when any two adjacent modular vending machines 1 are spliced ​​together, a third wiring groove 1023 and a fourth wiring groove 1024 are also provided on the bottom surface 102 of the vending cabinet 10 of each modular vending machine 1. One end of the third wiring groove 1023 and the fourth wiring groove 1024 are connected to the above-mentioned notch 1041, and the other ends of the third wiring groove 1023 and the fourth wiring groove 1024 respectively penetrate the left and right sides of the bottom surface 102 of the vending cabinet 10. Of course, the input wires connected to the input terminal 110 and the output wires connected to the output terminal 111 can be routed along the third wiring groove 1023 and the fourth wiring groove 1024 respectively.

[0065] Exemplarily, when two modular vending machines 1 are combined and spliced ​​in the left and right directions, the third wiring groove 1023 on the first vending cabinet body is connected with the fourth wiring groove 1024 on the second vending cabinet body. At this time, the input wire on the first modular vending cabinet body is used as the power cord, and is routed along the third wiring groove 1023 on the first modular vending cabinet body and connected to the AC power; the output wire on the first modular vending cabinet body is routed along the fourth wiring groove 1024 on the first modular vending cabinet body, and is electrically connected to the input wire routed along the third wiring groove 1023 on the second modular vending cabinet body. In this way, the wiring of the two modular vending machines 1 when they are horizontally combined and spliced ​​in the left and right directions can be completed, avoiding wiring confusion of any two adjacent modular vending machines 1 when they are spliced ​​and combined in the left and right directions.

[0066] As another example, when three module vending machines 1 are combined and spliced ​​along the left-right direction, the three module vending machines 1 are respectively the first module vending machine, the second module vending machine, and the third module vending machine from left to right. The input wires on the first module vending cabinet are used as power lines, and are routed along the third wiring groove 1023 on the first module vending cabinet to be connected to the AC power supply; the output wires on the first module vending cabinet are routed along the fourth wiring groove 1024 on the first module vending cabinet, and are electrically connected to the input wires routed along the third wiring groove 1023 on the second module vending cabinet; the output wires on the second module vending cabinet are routed along the fourth wiring groove 1024 on the second module vending cabinet, and are electrically connected to the input wires routed along the third wiring groove 1023 on the third module vending cabinet, and so on, to complete the wiring of multiple module vending machines 1 when they are combined and spliced ​​along the left-right direction.

[0067] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 5 and Fig.15, a plurality of wire-holding parts 1028 for holding wires are provided in the third wiring groove 1023 and / or the fourth wiring groove 1024. The wire-holding parts 1028 can hold wires in the third wiring groove 1023 to prevent the input wires from being loosened in the third wiring groove 1023. Similarly, the wire-holding parts 1028 can hold wires in the fourth wiring groove 1024 to prevent the wires from being loosened in the fourth wiring groove 1024. Specifically, the above-mentioned wire-holding parts 1028 are provided at opposite ends of the third wiring groove 1023 and / or the fourth wiring groove 1024, so that the wires can be further prevented from being loosened in the third wiring groove 1023 and the fourth wiring groove 1024. In addition, the wire-holding parts 1028 are also provided in the middle of the third wiring groove 1023 and / or the fourth wiring groove 1024 to further prevent the wires from being loosened.

[0068] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 5 and Fig.15 The third wiring groove 1023 and / or the fourth wiring groove 1024 are arc-shaped wiring grooves. The degree of design of the third wiring groove 1023 and the fourth wiring groove can reduce the pressure and friction on the wires during the laying process, thereby reducing the risk of damage or aging of the wires; in addition, the degree of the third wiring groove 1023 and the fourth wiring groove 1024 can also effectively avoid the "sharp angle" problem that may be caused by right-angle routing.

[0069] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 5 , Fig.15 and Fig.16 The mounting portion 101 is also provided with a power cord opening 1012, which connects the notch 1041 and the inner cavity of the vending cabinet 10, and the power cord opening 1012 is used for the power cord to pass through and be electrically connected to the circuit board 11. When multiple module vending machines are combined and spliced ​​vertically and horizontally, only one power cord is connected to the circuit board 11 on one module vending machine. Specifically, it can be understood that, for example, taking the combination of two module vending machines horizontally and horizontally and the combination of two module vending machines vertically as an example, refer to Fig.18The four module vending machines 1 are module vending machine A, module vending machine B, module vending machine C, and module vending machine D. The power line is only electrically connected to the circuit board 11 on the module vending machine A. The output wire on the module vending machine A is routed along its own second wiring groove 1022 and passes through its own first threading groove 1025 to enter the module vending machine A, and then passes through the second threading groove 1051 on the module vending machine A to connect with the input wire routed along the first wiring groove 1021 of the module vending machine B on the module vending machine B. The fourth wiring groove 1051 on the module vending machine B is connected to the input wire routed along the first wiring groove 1021 of the module vending machine B. The output wires of the wiring 1024 are connected to the input wires of the wiring 1023 of the module vending machine C along the third wiring groove 1023 of the module vending machine C. The output wires of the wiring 1022 of the module vending machine C along the second wiring groove 1022 of the module vending machine C pass through the second threading groove 1051 on the module vending machine D into the module vending machine D, and then pass out from the first threading groove 1025 on the module vending machine D to connect with the input wires of the wiring 1023 of the module vending machine D along the third wiring groove 1023 of the module vending machine D. In this way, the wiring of multiple module vending machines can be completed when they are combined horizontally and vertically. Since the installation part 101 has a power line through-hole 1012 for the power line to pass through and electrically connect to the circuit board 11, refer to Fig.18 A module vending machine can also be spliced ​​on the right side of the module vending machine A. When the right side of the module vending machine A is spliced ​​and combined with the module vending machine along the left-right direction (the left-right direction is also the horizontal X direction), the wires routed along the third wiring groove 1023 on the module vending machine A are used as output wires.

[0070] In summary, it can be seen that the wiring structure of the modular combination blind box machine of the present invention can realize the wiring when multiple modular vending machines 1 are combined horizontally and vertically, avoiding the confusion of wiring between the modular vending machines 1 of the modular combination blind box machine and avoiding the risk of crossed wires.

[0071] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 7 and Fig.14 A fifth wiring groove 1027 is also provided on the top surface 105 of the vending cabinet 10, and the fifth wiring groove 1027 is communicated with the second threading groove 1051. The fifth wiring groove 1027 on one vending cabinet 10 is arranged opposite to the first wiring groove 1021 on the bottom surface 102 of another vending cabinet 10, which can increase the convenience of wiring.

[0072] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 6 and Fig.13 , Fig.19 - Fig. 22There are two cabinet door openings 1031, and each cabinet door opening 1031 is movably provided with the above-mentioned delivery mechanism 3, and each delivery mechanism 3 is connected to a pushing component 21 horizontally slidably arranged in the sales cabinet body 10, and the pushing component 21 is arranged on the bottom plate 108 in the sales cabinet body 10. The sliding direction of the pushing component 21 is to slide back and forth between the rear side and the front side of the sales cabinet body 10, and a power unit 2 is arranged on the bottom plate 108 in the sales cabinet body 10. The power unit 2 is a driving motor or a driving motor. The power unit 2 is connected to the toggle block 5 rotatably arranged in the sales cabinet body 10, and the power unit 2 is used to drive the toggle block 5 to rotate counterclockwise to drive one of the pushing components 21 to slide, so as to drive one of the delivery mechanisms 3 to deliver goods; the power unit 2 is used to drive the toggle block 5 to rotate clockwise to drive another of the pushing components 21 to slide, so as to drive another of the delivery mechanisms 3 to deliver goods. It can be seen from this that, under the premise of ensuring that only one delivery mechanism 3 of the vending machine delivers goods at a time, each module vending machine 1 of the present invention can be driven by two delivery mechanisms 3 by one power unit 2, thereby overcoming the defect that the existing vending machine cannot be driven by two delivery mechanisms 3 by one power unit 2, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the vending machine.

[0073] In one embodiment, referring to Fig.19 - Fig. 22 and Fig.25 , each delivery mechanism 3 is hinged at each cabinet door 1031, and each delivery mechanism 3 can cover each cabinet door 1031. An abutment block 31 is provided on each delivery mechanism 3 on the side facing each pushing component 21; each pushing component 21 includes a sliding bar 22 and a spring 24, the sliding bar 22 is arranged in the vending cabinet body 10 to slide along the horizontal Y direction, the hinge shaft 1032 where the delivery mechanism 3 is hinged to the vending cabinet body 10 and the sliding direction of the sliding bar 22 are perpendicular to each other in the horizontal direction, one end of the spring 24 is connected and fixed to the sliding bar 22, and the other end of the spring 24 is connected and fixed to the delivery mechanism 3, and the toggle block 5 is used to toggle the sliding bar 22 to slide in the direction away from the cabinet door 1031; wherein, when the delivery mechanism 3 is in the state of covering the cabinet door 1031, the sliding bar 22 presses against the top of the abutment block 31, and the spring 24 is in a compressed and stored state, such as Fig.21 shown.

[0074] Specifically, it can be understood that, taking one of the delivery mechanisms 3 as an example, when the delivery mechanism 3 needs to be driven to deliver goods, the power unit 2 drives the toggle block 5 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the toggle block 5 toggle the sliding bar 22 on the pushing component 21 to slide in the horizontal Y direction away from the cabinet door 1031, so that the abutment block 31 on the delivery mechanism 3 is separated from the sliding bar 22. At this time, under the elastic force of the spring 24 of the pushing component 21, the delivery mechanism 3 rotates around the hinge shaft 1032 hinged between the delivery mechanism 3 and the sales cabinet body 10 and pops out of the cabinet door 1031, so as to achieve the purpose of the delivery mechanism 3 delivering the blind box 7. It can be seen that the delivery mechanism 3 of this embodiment delivers the blind box 7 in a pop-up manner.

[0075] When the delivery mechanism 3 is in the pop-up state, the spring 24 is in the stretched state. Fig. 22 shown.

[0076] In another embodiment, the delivery mechanism 3 may also deliver the goods by pushing out. Fig.28 , the sliding bar 22 is set in the vending cabinet 10 by sliding along the horizontal Y-axis direction through the guide rail 25, the delivery mechanism 3 is fixed at one end of the sliding bar 22, and a push block 223 is fixed on the other end of the sliding bar 22. The power unit 2 drives the toggle block 5 to rotate, and the toggle push block 223 drives the sliding bar 22 to slide along the horizontal Y-axis direction toward the cabinet door 1031, thereby driving the delivery mechanism 3 to be pushed out of the cabinet door 1031 along the horizontal Y-axis direction, so as to achieve the purpose of delivery by the delivery mechanism 3. When the consumer takes out the blind box 7 of the delivery mechanism 3, the consumer manually pushes the delivery mechanism 3 so that the delivery mechanism 3 moves along the horizontal Y-axis direction to the state of covering the cabinet door 1031, thereby returning the delivery mechanism 3 to the initial position and achieving the purpose of resetting. In summary, it can be seen that the delivery mechanism 3 of this embodiment adopts the push-out method for delivery.

[0077] In one embodiment, referring to Fig.21 , Fig. 22 , Fig.26 and Fig. 27 , a first connecting portion 222 connected and fixed to the spring 24 is provided on the left or right side of the sliding bar 22, so that the sliding bar 22 can be conveniently connected and fixed to the spring 24; Fig.24 A second connecting portion 32 connected and fixed to the spring 24 is provided at the bottom of the delivery mechanism 3, so that the delivery mechanism 3 can be conveniently connected and fixed to the spring 24 of the pushing component 21.

[0078] In one embodiment, referring to Fig. 22 , Fig.26 and Fig. 27The end surface of each sliding bar 22 close to each delivery mechanism 3 is set as an inclined surface 221, and the inclined direction of each inclined surface 221 is upward, so that the upper part of each abutting block 31 can abut against the bottom surface 102 of each sliding bar 22. In addition, the abutting block 31 is set at an angle with the delivery mechanism 3, so that the abutting block 31 and the sliding bar 22 can be pressed. Taking a shipping mechanism 3 as an example, since the two ends of the spring 24 of the pushing assembly 21 are respectively connected and fixed to the shipping mechanism 3 and the sliding bar 22, when the shipping mechanism 3 pops out of the cabinet door 1031 and the consumer takes out the blind box 7 in the shipping mechanism 3, the consumer manually pushes the shipping mechanism 3 to make the shipping mechanism 3 rotate around the hinge shaft 1032 hinged between the shipping mechanism 3 and the sales cabinet body 10 toward the cabinet door 1031. At this time, the abutment block 31 of the shipping mechanism 3 will act on the inclined surface 221 on the sliding bar 22, and the force of the abutment block 31 acting on the inclined surface 221 makes the upper surface of the abutment block 31 abut against the bottom surface 102 of the sliding bar 22. At this time, the shipping mechanism 3 is just in the state of covering the cabinet door 1031.

[0079] In one embodiment, referring to Fig.25 and 27 , a groove 220 is provided on the bottom surface 102 of the sliding bar 22, a needle 6 is rotatably arranged in the vending cabinet 10, the rotation axis of the needle 6 extends vertically, the first end of the needle 6 can contact the toggle block 5, the second end of the needle 6 is plugged into the groove 220, and the power unit 2 drives the toggle block 5 to drive the needle 6, driving the sliding bar 22 to slide in the horizontal Y direction in the direction away from the cabinet door 1031. It can be understood that the toggle block 5 is driven by the power unit 2 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the toggle block 5 drives the needle 6 of one pushing component 21 to slide the sliding bar 22 of the pushing component 21 in the horizontal Y-axis direction away from the cabinet door 1031; the toggle block 5 is driven by the power unit 2 to rotate clockwise, so that the toggle block 5 drives the needle 6 of another pushing component 21 to slide the sliding bar 22 of another pushing component 21 in the horizontal Y-axis direction away from the cabinet door 1031.
