[0023] Specifically, a network terminal device 11 for receiving signals is provided on the inner side wall of the outer shell 1. The network terminal device 11 is a high-speed and stable network link constructed by a 4G industrial router, which is a prior art. Its operator can accurately grasp the real-time dynamics of the vending machine at any time and place. Whether it is the real-time fluctuation of sales data, the remaining amount of inventory goods, or the health status of the device itself, all can be seen clearly. Thus, the operator can arrange replenishment in a timely manner based on accurate information to ensure the continuous supply of goods, and at the same time quickly respond to the equipment maintenance needs to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the vending machine.

[0024] Specifically, a pick-up door panel 12 controlled by a cylinder is also provided on the front side of the outer shell 1. The cylinder is electrically connected to the vending machine controller 13. Specifically, a channel opening 16 is provided on one side of the partition 14. The channel opening 16 is communicated with a pick-up cavity provided on the side of the pick-up door panel 12 through a provided channel 17. When the commodity packaging is completed, the goods are transported from the channel 16 into the pick-up cavity. Instructions are sent and received, and the pick-up door panel 12 is controlled by the cylinder to open. Consumers can take out the purchased commodities from the pick-up cavity. The pick-up door panel 12 is an automatic door. When an internal sensor (prior art) detects that there is no object in the pick-up cavity, the pick-up door panel 12 automatically closes without manual intervention. It should be noted that the pick-up cavity can be set to two windows with a baffle in the middle, the purpose of which is to correspond to the pick-up of two different types of beer, draft beer and pasteurized beer.

[0025] Specifically, a partition 14 is provided inside the outer shell 1. The partition 14 divides the cavity into upper and lower parts. A beer packaging mechanism is provided and installed in the upper cavity, and a cask storage device is provided in the lower cavity. The beer packaging mechanism in the upper cavity is a prior art for the current packaging of beer and is not shown in the figure. The cask storage device is used to store beer, and there are two types corresponding to draft beer and pasteurized beer. At the same time, stainless steel barrels or aluminum alloy barrels are used to reduce the usage rate of glass bottles and increase the environmental protection concept. The cask storage device is arranged between the mounting frames 15, and the mounting frames 15 are correspondingly fixed on the inner bottom surface of the machine shell 1. The provided mounting frames 15 are used to fix the casks to avoid shaking. Later, due to the certain gravity of the beer casks, it is laborious to load and unload. A movable platform can be added to the bottom of the cask according to the actual situation to form a self-propelled effect, which can improve the efficiency of workers during operation.

[0026] Specifically, a beer outlet nozzle is correspondingly installed on the cask storage device, and a solenoid valve connected to the beer outlet nozzle is assembled.

The cooling mechanism 18 is composed of a refrigeration compressor and a condenser, and interacts with the control panel on the display screen through the vending machine controller to achieve remote real-time monitoring and regulation by the operator at the backend, so as to control the temperature inside the vending machine to be constant or achieve a refrigeration effect, and ensure the freshness and shelf life of the keg storage equipment.

[0028] Furthermore, the internal space of this device has a sealed effect, and a disinfection mechanism can be added later to ensure that when packaging beer, the environment where the packaging is carried out reduces the generation of bacteria and meets the packaging and edible requirements.

[0029] In the specific implementation of the present invention: This device is an intelligent self-service vending device. When selling beer, consumers select the type and volume unit of the beer to be purchased through the control panel 202 on the display screen 2, and select the corresponding payment method, such as cash payment, membership card payment, and QR code payment. After that, the system starts to run internally. First, the existing beer packaging mechanism packages the beer in the keg storage equipment. Through the operation of this series of systems, the beer is packaged and formed, and then transmitted to the pick-up cavity through the passage 16. Commands are sent and received, and the pick-up door panel 12 is controlled to open by the cylinder, so that consumers can take out the purchased goods from the pick-up cavity. When the internal sensor detects that there is no object in the pick-up cavity, the pick-up door panel 12 automatically closes, thus completing the purchase process. The operator can log in and control this intelligent vending machine through the mobile terminal. Through the background application, the operator can control the content delivery of the advertising screen 201, and can accurately master and monitor the real-time dynamics of relevant parameters such as the temperature and liquid level contained therein at any time. The operator can remotely view the real-time fluctuations of sales data, the remaining quantity of inventory goods, etc., and arrange replenishment in a timely manner to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the vending machine.
