Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of vending machines, and in particular, to a vending machine with a heavy object sensing function. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of new retail, the types of vending machines are becoming more and more diversified. According to the way of shipping goods, they can be divided into spring machines, grid machines, crawler machines, serpentine aisle machines, RFID freezer machines, image recognition machines, and gravity-sensing vending machines. Among them, gravity-sensing unmanned vending machines do not need to attach electronic tags to each product. They use gravity-sensing technology to identify the information of the products, which greatly reduces the operating costs. For example, a new gravity-sensing vending machine with Chinese patent application number CN202020265607.3 adopts a new sealing method to ensure the cold insulation effect inside the box and reduce power loss. The door body adopts a new door return hinge to ensure that the door body automatically resets at the end of the sales transaction. A new electromagnetic lock is adopted, which is fixed on the left side of the box and directly fixed on the box, with a protective cover on the outside to prevent human damage. The vending machine of the utility model has a high safety factor, a simple structure, and no complicated mechanical transmission mechanism, which greatly reduces the production and maintenance costs and has good promotion value.

[0003] However, the above scheme still has certain defects: first, the storage plate is only suitable for goods of a specific size. When the goods are large or small, it is not convenient to place them. Secondly, since the universal wheels or supporting feet of the vending machine are exposed to the air for a long time, water or water vapor on the ground and in the air can easily corrode them, causing the universal wheels or supporting feet to rust and be damaged, thereby reducing their practicality.

[0030] See also Figure 1-4 The present application provides a vending machine with a heavy object sensing function, which includes a moving component 100 and an adjusting component 200. The moving component 100 can play a moving role, and the adjusting component 200 can be adjusted according to the size of the goods.

[0031] See also Figure 1-2 The moving assembly 100 includes a base 110, a hydraulic cylinder 130 and a moving seat 140. A cavity 120 is provided inside the base 110. The hydraulic cylinder 130 is arranged inside the cavity 120. The moving seat 140 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 130. A support block 111 is correspondingly provided on one side of the base 110. The support block 111 can play a role in supporting the base 110. A slide groove 112 is provided inside the base 110.

[0032] See also Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The adjustment component 200 includes a vending machine body 210, a storage basket 220 and a limiting plate 230. The vending machine body 210 is arranged on one side of the base 110. A plurality of storage baskets 220 are arranged inside the vending machine body 210. A plurality of limiting plates 230 are arranged inside the storage basket 220, and the limiting plates 230 are slidably engaged with the storage basket 220. The storage basket 220 includes a frame plate 221 and a cross plate 222. The cross plate 222 is fixedly connected to the frame plate 221. The frame plate 221 can be used to hold items. The cross plate 222 can be used for connection. A plurality of holes and grooves 2221 are arranged on one side of the cross plate 222. The hole and groove 2221 can be used for connection. A load-bearing sensor is arranged under the frame plate 221. The load-bearing sensor on the frame plate 221 obtains the remaining amount of goods. When the remaining amount of goods on the frame plate 221 is lower than the threshold value, a reminder will be sent to the control platform, and the staff will replenish the goods in time.

[0033] In some specific implementation schemes, the limiting plate 230 includes a baffle 231, a bracket 232, an insertion rod 233 and a spring 234. The bracket 232 is fixedly connected to the baffle 231, the bracket 232 is slidably connected to the cross plate 222, the insertion rod 233 is connected through one side of the bracket 232, the insertion rod 233 is slidably connected to the hole groove 2221, one end of the spring 234 is fixedly connected to the bracket 232, and the other end of the spring 234 is fixedly connected to the insertion rod 233.

After the position is adjusted, the elastic force of the spring 234 pushes the insertion rod 233 into the inside of the hole groove 2221, so that the baffle 231 can be fixed.

[0034] The working principle of the vending machine with a weight sensing function is as follows: first, the hydraulic cylinder 130 can be used to move the movable seat 140, so that the movable seat 140 contacts the ground and lifts up the base 110, and the vending machine body 210 can be moved by the movable seat 140. At the same time, the hydraulic cylinder 130 moves the movable seat 140 to the inside of the cavity 120, and the base 110 supports the movable seat 140, so that the movable seat 140 is isolated from the outside air and does not contact the ground, which can greatly reduce the weight of the vending machine body 210 when it is placed for a long time. The corrosion degree of the movable seat 140 can be reduced. When the baffle 231 needs to be adjusted, the plug rod 233 can be pulled to separate the plug rod 233 from the hole groove 2221, and then the baffle 231 can be moved. After the position is adjusted, the elastic force of the spring 234 pushes the plug rod 233 into the inside of the hole groove 2221, and the baffle 231 can be fixed. According to the size of the goods, the range of the size of the goods to be adapted is relatively wide, and then it can be adjusted according to the size of the goods. At the same time, the corrosion degree of the movable seat 140 is greatly reduced, thereby improving the practicality.
