A retrieval port 9 is provided at the location; a human-machine interface component 3 is fixedly connected to one outer wall of the cabinet 1, and the data of the human-machine interface component 3 is connected to the control board 12. The human-machine interface component 3 includes an interaction body 31, and the interaction body 31 is fixedly connected to one outer wall of the cabinet 1. The interaction body 31 is provided with a touch screen 32, a speaker 33, a face recognition unit 34, a card sensing area 35, and a barcode scanner 36; a tempered glass groove 7 is opened on one outer wall of the cabinet 1, and an infrared obstacle avoidance sensor 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tempered glass groove 7. Infrared sensor 19 and 3D vision recognition sensor 20 are fixedly connected to the wall, and the infrared obstacle avoidance sensor 8, infrared sensor 19, and 3D vision recognition sensor 20 are all connected to the control board 12. A fixing plate 17 is fixedly connected to the bracket 11, and a vision sensor 18 is fixedly connected to one outer wall of the fixing plate 17. The vision sensor 18 is connected to the control board 12. The vision sensor 18 is used to monitor and judge the status of goods in each compartment in real time, thereby realizing real-time monitoring of inventory and intelligent replenishment reminders. The cabinet 1 is fixedly connected to... A weight sensor 16 is connected, and the display compartment 4 is set on the weight sensor 16. The data of the weight sensor 16 is connected to the control board 12. The weight sensor 16 is used to automatically adjust the rotation parameters according to the weight of the goods. An inspection door 10 is hinged to one side of the outer wall of the cabinet 1. The inspection door 10 is used to inspect the internal components. A support leg 2 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the cabinet 1. An LED light screen 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cabinet 1. The support leg 2 is used to support the cabinet 1. The LED light screen 6 is used to display product information and promotional information to attract consumers from a distance.
[0022] Working Principle: When using this invention for smart vending, when a user approaches cabinet 1, the infrared sensor 19 automatically triggers and wakes up the device, putting it into standby mode. The 3D visual recognition sensor 20 on cabinet 1 automatically captures the user's movements and gaze. The algorithm built into the control board 12 on the bracket 11 determines the product the user is interested in. The adaptive PID control algorithm and motion trajectory planning algorithm in the control board 12 calculate the optimal rotation path based on the position of the product the user is interested in, controlling the drive motor 15 to drive the display compartment 4 to rotate. The display compartment 4 has multiple layers and is divided into multiple independent storage spaces for product storage by partitions 5. During the rotation, the weight sensor 16 monitors the rotation status in real time to ensure the stability of the rotation, allowing the product to rotate smoothly and quickly to the tempered glass slot 7 for display. The tempered glass slot 7 is equipped with a tempered glass window. The user can interact with the product through the human-computer interaction component 3, specifically by the touch screen 32 on the interaction body 31 displaying the product and interactive information. The user can select the product they want to purchase through the touch screen 32. The product display case 4 is equipped with a speaker 33 for playing prompt voice messages. The face recognition unit 34, card sensing area 35, and barcode scanner 36 provide payment methods including face recognition, card sensing, and QR code scanning. After selection and payment, when the product on the display case 4 is rotated to the retrieval port 9 by the control board 12, the positioning module 13 will locate this position and issue a command through the control board 12 to stop the drive motor 15. At the same time, the limit module 14 will lock the drive motor 15 to prevent the product display case 4 from continuing to rotate. Then, the corresponding retrieval port 9 will be opened to allow the consumer to take out the product. The retrieval port 9 will then be closed. During the rotation of the display case 4, the vision sensor 18 on the fixed plate 17 monitors and judges the status of the products in each compartment in real time, thereby realizing real-time inventory monitoring and intelligent replenishment reminders. The support legs 2 are used to support the cabinet 1. The LED light screen 6 is used to display product information and promotional information to attract consumers from a distance. The infrared obstacle avoidance sensor 8 is used to identify the administrator's replenishment and maintenance operations inside the door to ensure personal safety. The maintenance door 10 is used to inspect the internal components.
