Abstract

The invention provides an unmanned device for selling and displaying container flowers. The device is composed of hardware and software. The hardware comprises a container (1) equipped with a strap (102) and a lock seat (2) capable of scanning a code for payment control. The strap (102) passes through a strap hole (2010101) on an upper cover of a lock seat shell and a strap hole (20201) of a strap buckle (202) in the shell, and passes out from a passage opening (2010206) on a side wall of the shell. The strap is tightened from the outside to lock the container flowers. After a customer scans a QR code (2030101) of a controller (203) to pay, a reduction motor (204) inside the lock seat is started to drive a blade (20401). The rotating blade can cut the strap, and the container flowers are unlocked, and the customer can take them away. The device can be arranged at any suitable location such as a residential area, a restaurant or a shopping mall by using strong double-sided adhesive or fixing screws, so as to achieve a sales scene of zero-distance display and selling with customers.

[0001] Container Flower Sales Techniques Background Art

[0002] Growing flowers is the cheapest, healthiest and most beautiful enjoyment in nature. Everyone needs and loves it. However, the traditional sales method of container flowers is store display. Customers need to make a special trip to the store, which is time-consuming and troublesome. Store rent and supervision costs greatly increase the price of flowers. Modern people also lack experience in plant care and often kill flowers quickly, so they think that growing flowers is a very expensive thing. This has greatly widened the distance between ordinary people and flowers. Summary of the invention

[0003] The unmanned vending device for flower containers with buckles can easily place flower containers in any corner of residential areas, restaurants, shopping malls, etc., and can be used for both display and sales without any distance. The flowers and services are right next to you, achieving the best of both worlds. The device consists of a container (1) that can be worn with a self-locking T-shaped sawtooth strap and a lock seat (2) that can be automatically unlocked by scanning a code for payment.

[0004] The container (1) is a conduit drainage container or a non-drainage container. The container (1) is provided with a mounting hole (101) on the plane in contact with the lock seat (2) through which a binding tape can pass and a T-head can be clamped. After the T-shaped serrated binding tape (102) passes through the mounting hole (101), the T-head is covered with a tubular object (103) about 15 mm long. The top of the tubular object is covered with a waterproof and leak-proof strong adhesive tape (104). The adhesive part is opened inside the tube and is subsequently used to retract the remaining binding tape T-head. The outer side is sealed with a sealing glue (105) to be watertight. After being left to stand for 2 to 3 days to ensure that there is no water leakage, planting can be carried out.

[0005] The lock base (2) includes hardware and software. The hardware is composed of a housing (201), a strap buckle (202), a scan code payment controller (203), a reduction motor (204), a blade (20401) that can be mounted on the shaft of the reduction motor (204), and a power source (205). The surface where the housing (201) contacts the container (1) is called an upper cover (20101). The surface has a strap hole (2010101) that is loosely matched with a T-shaped sawtooth strap. 1), a mounting screw operation hole (2010102), the inner side of which has a blade rotation position avoidance cavity (2010103) and a reduction motor shaft avoidance cavity (2010104); corresponding to the upper cover is the lower shell (20102), which is a cavity, and contains a strap buckle (202), a code scanning payment controller (203), a reduction motor (204) equipped with a blade, and a power supply (205), and the strap buckle is located at the same position as the strap hole of the upper cover. Correspondingly, it is fixed on the strap buckle bracket (2010202) with screws. Along the strap buckle bracket, there is a strap pulling channel (2010201) leading to the shell and opening at the side wall. The bottom of the channel is slightly sloped to guide the strap to the channel opening (2010206). The reduction motor is fixed on the reduction motor mounting bracket (2010204) with screws. The blade rotation radius is slightly larger than the strap threading hole of the strap buckle, and a horn-type blade should be used to avoid completely blocking the strap threading hole. The scan code payment controller (203) is an electronic module, which is fixed on the controller mounting bracket (2010203) with screws. The power supply (205) is placed in the power supply box (2010205), and then the positive and negative poles are connected according to the manufacturer's wiring diagram. The input end of the controller (203) is connected to the power supply (205), and the output end is connected to the reduction motor (204); the upper cover and the lower shell are closed and fixed with screws, and the lock seat part is installed. There is a screw installation hole (2010207) at the bottom of the drawstring channel, and the shell (201) can be fixed on a solid ground where the drawstring screws can be driven, or fixed on a smooth plane with strong double-sided adhesive tape.

[0006] When selling, it is only necessary to pass the serrated strap (102) of the container flowers through the strap hole (20101) of the lock seat upper cover and the strap hole (20201) of the strap buckle in the lower shell, pass it out from the passage opening (2010206), and then tighten the strap to fix the container flowers on the lock seat, and the container flowers are put on the shelf.

[0007] A scan code payment controller (203) corresponds to a unique code (20301) and a QR code (2030101) for scanning; the manufacturer provides a remote control software applet (20302) client (2030201) and a merchant end (2030202) when selling, and the merchant may need to pay a certain fee to the manufacturer. The merchant end (2030202) using the remote control software applet can set the payment amount and power-on time of the scan code payment controller (203), and bind the merchant assistant account and bank account. The customer can choose to pay online by scanning the QR code (2030101) of the controller (203). After the payment is completed, the controller (203) enters the power-on mode, the reduction motor (204) starts to drive the blade (20401) to rotate, the strap (102) is cut, and the container flowers can be taken away. The purchase amount paid by the customer is immediately entered into the merchant assistant account, and the merchant can withdraw the cash to the bound bank account as needed, and the sale is completed.
