[0030] Beneficially, the shielding plate 12 is L-shaped, the shielding plate 12 has a vertical part and a horizontally extending part, the vertical part of the shielding plate 12 is used to separate the transfer space 18 and the display space 19, and the horizontally extending part of the shielding plate 12 is used to separate the taking space 20 and the standby space 21; the taking space 20 is a theft-proof space formed by the inner wall of the shell 11, the shielding plate 33, the taking baffle 24 and the horizontally extending part of the shielding plate 12. When the taking baffle 24 becomes a free state, the user's hand can only reach the range where the taking space 20 is located.

[0031] Working principle of the present application: In the initial state, a sufficient number of commodities are placed on the advancing unit 31, the shielding door 15 is closed and locked with the shell 11, the transfer mechanism 17 is located at the uppermost side of the device, the torsion spring one and the torsion spring two make the guide plate 14 horizontal and the turnover plate 34 horizontal respectively, the sliding member 46 and the turnover plate 34 have an overlapping part; the turnover plate 34 cannot be folded upward relative to the supporting plate 27 due to the limiting action of the limiting piece 35, and the turnover strip 51 cannot be folded downward relative to the guide plate 14 due to the limiting action of the hinge position between the turnover strip 51 and the guide plate 14.

[0032] The user observes the commodities through the visual area 23, operates the operation panel 25, selects the desired commodity and pays, the corresponding drive motor 40 receives the instruction to start, the drive motor 40 controls the output shaft to rotate to drive the mounting disc 41 and the advancing spring 38 to rotate synchronously, the advancing spring 38 rotates to push the target commodity to move, and the target commodity falls on the corresponding guide plate 14 after being separated from the placing groove 32, and the weight of the commodity is insufficient to overcome the torsional force of the torsion spring one, so that the guide plate 14 remains horizontal.

[0033] The control motor 26 is started to drive the output shaft to rotate the threaded rod 28, the threaded rod 28 controls the descending of the supporting plate 27, the folding plate 34 and the vertical plate 30 move synchronously with the supporting plate 27, when the folding plate 34 passes through a corresponding guide plate 14, the folding plate 34 tilts the folding strip 51 and the guide plate 14 as a whole, after tilting to a certain extent, the folding strip 51 is no longer in contact with the folding plate 34, the guide plate 14 is reset under the action of the torsional spring, in this process, the target goods slide with the tilting of the guide plate 14, before the folding strip 51 and the folding plate 34 are out of contact, all the goods are completely slid onto the folding plate 34; after the supporting plate 27 passes through all the guide plates 14, all the goods are concentrated on the folding plate 34, it is necessary to point out here that when the goods purchased at one time exceed the carrying capacity of the guide plate 14 and the folding plate 34, the system will choose to deliver in batches.

[0034] When the supporting plate 27 is lowered to the lowermost side, the wedge-shaped part 47 contacts the upper end of the shielding plate 33, causing the sliding part 46 to slide relative to the second sliding rail 48, and at the same time the damping spring 50 is compressed, when the sliding part 46 and the supporting plate 27 have no overlapping part, the folding plate 34 is instantly folded downward under the action of its own weight and the weight of the goods, causing all the goods to fall into the taking space 20, at this time the taking baffle 24 is allowed to be opened, the user can push the taking baffle 24 to take the goods in the taking space 20.

[0035] When all the goods are completely dropped into the taking space 20, the control motor 26 controls the supporting plate 27 to continue moving downward for a short distance, the sliding part 46 continues to move away from the folding plate 34, when all the goods are completely dropped into the taking space 20, the supporting plate 27 is automatically reset, the folding plate 34 is restored to horizontal under the action of the second torsional spring, and the sliding part 46 is partially overlapped with the folding plate 34 again under the action of the damping spring 50, in this process, the damping spring 50 controls the sliding speed of the sliding part 46 to be slow and smooth due to the damping of the damping spring 50, while the folding of the folding plate 34 is completed in an instant, and the sliding part 46 has slid a distance more than the supporting plate 27 in the process of descending, therefore the folding plate 34 will complete the reset before the sliding part 46, and the sliding part 46 will not hinder the folding plate 34 in the process of resetting the folding plate 34; when the sliding part 46 and the folding plate 34 complete the reset, the control motor 26 is started to control the supporting plate 27 to rise, in the process of rising of the supporting plate 27, when the folding plate 34 passes through a corresponding guide plate 14, the folding plate 34 rotates the folding strip 51 relative to the guide plate 14, the guide plate 14 remains horizontal, and the guide plate 14 gives way to the supporting plate 27 to rise to the uppermost side.
