DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] A water storage bag, see Figure 1-Figure 2 , including a bag body and a bag opening. A water storage cavity for storing water is provided inside the bag body; the bag opening is located at the outer end of the bag body and is the entrance and exit of the water storage cavity; an infusion switch is provided inside the bag opening, and the infusion switch is closed under normal conditions. The opening of the infusion switch has a pressure threshold, and when the external pressure on the bag opening reaches the set threshold, the bag opening is open; the infusion switch is connected to an elastic element that provides elastic return force for the switch, so that the infusion switch has the ability to remain closed.

[0026] Specifically, the infusion switch can be a bottle cap and an elastic membrane. The bottle cap is threadedly connected to the bag opening; the surface of the bottle cap body is provided with a through hole, and the elastic membrane closes the through hole of the bottle cap under normal conditions. When the pressure of the elastic membrane by the external force reaches a set threshold, the elastic membrane cracks to form a water filling port. The elastic membrane is made of elastic material, and the water filling port has the ability to close automatically. When the filling head is pierced through the elastic membrane, the elastic membrane cracks, and when the filling head enters, the elastic membrane tightly wraps the filling head due to elastic force to prevent leakage. After the filling head is pulled out, the elastic force of the elastic membrane will close the water filling port again, playing a certain sealing role.

[0027] Specifically, in addition to the design of the elastic membrane, the infusion switch can also be designed with a bottle cap and an elastic duckbill valve. The elastic duckbill valve is set at the through hole of the bottle cap to form a normally closed water replenishment channel. When the pressure of the external force on the duckbill valve reaches the set threshold, the water replenishment channel is pressurized and remains open; the elastic membrane is made of elastic material, and the water replenishment channel has the ability to close automatically. For example, when a filling head is used for water replenishment, the filling head is inserted into the duckbill valve for water replenishment. After the filling head is pulled out, the duckbill valve can automatically recover to achieve a one-way seal.

[0028] Specifically, a positioning groove 21 is provided on the outer periphery of the bag opening, and the positioning groove 21 is matched with the external fixing part to ensure that the water storage bag 2 can be stably placed when replenishing water.

[0029] A water storage bag water replenishment device, please refer to Figure 3-Figure 11 , used for replenishing water in the water storage bag 2; the water replenishing device includes a filling puncture head 41 and a replenishing motor 42.

[0030] The water replenishing device is used in conjunction with an external positioning unit; the positioning unit has a limiting groove 311 surrounded by a thin wall. Specifically, the positioning unit can be a metal sheet, and a limiting groove 311 is provided on the outer edge of the sheet. The limiting groove 311 is used to embed the bag opening of the water storage bag 2, and a positioning slide 21 that matches the thin wall is provided on the outer periphery of the bag opening. The positioning slide 21 can be slidably connected with the metal sheet to achieve the insertion of the water storage bag 2 while also achieving vertical limitation.

[0031] The feeding motor 42 is fixedly arranged above the limiting groove 311. The filling puncture head 41 is connected to the output end of the feeding motor 42. The filling puncture head 41 is connected to the external water source through a hose. The lower end of the filling puncture head 41 can be a pointed tip, which is convenient for passing through the infusion switch of the water storage bag 2. The feeding motor 42 can drive the filling puncture head 41 to reciprocate in the vertical direction. During operation, the filling puncture head 41 can be inserted downward into the infusion switch of the water storage bag 2 to deliver water.

[0032] The water replenishing device can be an intermediate module of the following self-service water vending machine, or it can be used as a water vending machine alone. The user puts the empty water storage bag 2 into the limiting groove 311, the replenishing motor 42 starts to descend, the filling piercing head 41 is filled with water, the replenishing motor 42 starts to return to its original position, and the user removes the water storage bag 2 to complete the water vending.

[0033] Preferably, a protrusion is fixedly provided at the outer edge of the metal sheet outside the limiting groove 311, and the distance between the two corresponding matching protrusions is larger than the opening of the limiting groove 311 to form a larger blanking channel 312. The diameter of the blanking channel 312 is larger than the outer diameter of the bag opening to facilitate blanking.

[0034] In addition, another structure can be set, the difference is that the limit groove 311 is not directly set on the lower side of the feeding motor 42 and the filling piercing head 41. The metal sheet can be set to be movable, or the feeding motor 42 and the filling piercing head 41 can be set to be movable as a whole, and the water filling is started only when the limit groove 311 and the filling piercing head 41 move to the corresponding position. The advantage of this setting is that the water source and the filling equipment can be hidden in a shell, reducing the pollution of the water source and avoiding damage to the filling equipment.

[0035] A self-service water vending machine, see Figure 3-Figure 11 , used for selling water storage bags 2 filled with water; the self-service water vending machine includes a frame 1, a turntable unit, a water storage bag water replenishing device, a pushing unit and a control and detection unit.

[0036] The frame 1 includes a plurality of columns 11 , side panels 12 , a top panel 13 , a bottom panel 14 and load-bearing beams 15 .

The bottom panel 14 covers the bottom surface of the frame and has an outlet 141 for the water storage bag to discharge. The load-bearing beam 15 is fixedly arranged on the upper side of the top panel for installing the turntable unit. At the same time, both ends of the load-bearing beam 15 are located on the upper side of the vertical columns. The advantage of this is that the number of columns 11 supported by the load-bearing beam 15 is increased to prevent the frame 1 from being crushed.

[0038] The turntable unit is located inside the frame 1 and has the ability to rotate by itself. It also has a number of limiting grooves 311 for clamping the water storage bag. The turntable unit includes a turntable 31 and a turntable drive assembly. The edge of the turntable 31 is provided with a number of evenly distributed limiting grooves 311; the outer side of each limiting groove 311 is provided with a corresponding material drop channel 312.

[0039] The turntable drive assembly includes a pinion 101, a large gear 102, a rotating motor 103, a bearing seat 104 and a central tube. The rotating motor 103 is fixedly mounted on the motor mounting plate inside the frame 1. The motor mounting plate is connected to the central tube, and the upper end of the central tube passes through the top plate 13 and is fixedly connected to the load-bearing beam 15 through a flange. The pinion 101 is connected to the output end of the rotating motor 103; the large gear 102 is meshed and connected with the pinion 101 and sleeved on the outer periphery of the central tube; the turntable 31 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the bearing seat 104; the outer periphery of the central tube is sleeved with bearings, and the bearing seat 104 is sleeved and installed on the outer periphery of the central tube and used to install bearings; the large gear 102, the turntable 31, and the bearing seat 104 are axially locked as a whole by screws; the lower end of the central tube supports the large gear 102, the turntable 31 and the bearing seat 104 that are locked as a whole. The rotating motor 103 is connected to the turntable 31 through a gear set to drive the turntable 31 to rotate. The gear set is not limited to the small gear 101 and the large gear 102. If there is a need for speed reduction, the number of gears can be increased.

[0040] The water bag water replenishing device is installed on the frame 1 and is located on the upper side of at least one corresponding limiting groove 311, and has the ability to move toward the water bag 2 clamped on the limiting groove 311. In the self-service water vending machine of this embodiment, the metal sheet is the turntable 31, the replenishing motor 42 is fixedly installed on the load-bearing beam 15, and the output end of the replenishing motor 42 passes through the frame 1 and is located on the upper side of the limiting groove 311 for filling. For other structures, refer to the description of the water replenishing device above.

[0041] The pusher unit is located on the inner side of the upper end of the limiting groove 311 for filling. The pusher unit includes a pusher motor and a pusher block 51. The pusher motor is fixedly mounted on the motor mounting plate, and the pusher block 51 is connected to the output end of the pusher motor so as to have the ability to abut against the bag opening of the water storage bag 2 and horizontally drive the water storage bag 2 to move away from the limiting groove 311. Of course, the pusher block 51 can also be replaced with a cam, and the pusher motor can be replaced with a rotating motor accordingly, so as to achieve the above technical effects.

[0042] A feeding station is arranged on the periphery of the turntable 31, and a feeding guide cover 91 is fixedly arranged on the periphery of the limiting groove 311 of the station, and the feeding guide cover 91 is fixedly connected to the motor mounting plate. A feeding channel for the bag mouth of the water storage bag 2 to move is provided inside the feeding guide cover 91; a feeding guide plate matching the positioning slide 21 is fixedly arranged inside the feeding channel; the limiting groove 311 where the feeding guide cover 91 is located is not the limiting groove 311 corresponding to the water replenishing device. A guide cover support plate is extended from the lower end of the feeding guide cover 91 toward the center side of the turntable 311 to support the turntable 311. Since the turntable 311 is large in size and prone to unevenness, a guide cover support plate is arranged so that the limiting groove 311 can always correspond to the feeding channel and no misalignment occurs. The side panel 12 is also provided with a feeding channel at the corresponding position, so that the maintenance personnel can control the feeding of the water storage bag 2 through this position. The operator only needs to insert the bag mouth of the water storage bag 2 into the feeding guide cover 91 and press it to the bottom to complete the feeding. After the turntable 31 rotates a certain angle, the next limiting groove 311 can be fed.

[0043] In addition, a load-bearing hook plate 16 is provided at the lower end of the load-bearing beam 15; the lower end of the load-bearing hook plate 16 is located at the lower end surface of the rotating disk 311 to support the rotating disk 311. The lower end of the load-bearing hook plate 16 is located at the lower end of the protrusion constituting the material dropping channel 312. Because the water storage bag 2 is filled with water and has a large weight, the rotating disk 311 is easy to deform. The load-bearing hook plate 16 supports the rotating disk 311 to prevent deformation and damage.

[0044] The control detection unit is connected with the turntable unit and the material pushing unit to obtain the rotation information of the turntable unit and output a start and stop signal to the material pushing unit.

[0045] Preferably, the control and detection unit includes a control module and a material detection probe 71; the material detection probe 71 is located on the upper side of the preceding limiting groove 311 of the limiting groove 311 where the water replenishing device is located, so as to obtain the material clamping information of the limiting groove 311; the control module and the material detection probe 71 are connected to obtain the material clamping information.

[0048] Preferably, a limit cover shell 81 is provided on the upper side cover of the turntable unit; a limit hole is provided on the upper end of the limit cover shell 81; the control detection unit includes a positioning electromagnet 61; the positioning electromagnet is fixedly arranged inside the frame 1; the output end of the positioning electromagnet 61 corresponds to and matches the limit hole, so as to be plugged and fixed as a whole with the limit cover shell 81 during operation. In addition, the outer edge of the limit cover shell 81 is a limit shell wall extending downward; the limit shell wall is located outside the limit groove 311 of the empty position, and the empty position refers to the limit groove 311 that does not need to be replenished with water or material. The limit shell wall is provided with an opening to connect the limit groove 311 where the water replenishment device is located, and also connect the limit groove 311 where the material replenishment guide cover 91 is located, which will not hinder the removal of the water storage bag 2 after water replenishment, nor hinder the removal of the water storage bag 2 during material replenishment.

[0049] Working principle: An empty water bag 2 is clamped in each limiting groove 311 of the turntable 31. When a consumer needs to buy water, the water bag 2 located at the lower side of the filling piercing head 41 is used as the water bag 2 to be filled, or the filling piercing head 41 located in the previous sequence of the filling piercing head 41 on the turntable 31 is used. The difference is that the latter requires the turntable 31 to move, and after the material detection probe 71 determines that the water bag 2 is transported to the lower side of the filling piercing head 41, the feeding motor 42 is started, and the filling piercing head 41 descends to fill water. After the filling is completed, the filling piercing head 41 returns to its original position, the push block motor is started, and the push block 51 moves to push the filled water bag 2 to the blanking channel 312. After the water bag 2 enters the blanking channel 312, it loses its limit and falls down and is discharged through the outlet 141, and the consumer completes the consumption.

[0050] Afterwards, when a consumer buys water again, the turntable 31 moves the set angle to ensure repeated water sales.

[0051] Until all the empty water storage bags 2 on the turntable 31 are used up, the maintenance personnel can insert new empty water storage bags 2 into the filling guide cover 9 through the filling port, and fill the limiting groove 311 with material in coordination with the rotation of the turntable 31.
