Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to bulk candy storage and sales equipment, in particular to a bulk candy quantitative sales device. Background Art

[0002] In supermarket shopping, since the bulk rice, flour, grains and dried fruits area has a large customer flow, bulk candies are often placed in this area to increase customer purchasing power. However, rice, flour, grains and dried fruits are easily infected and breed stored grain pests. In addition, the grains and dried fruits left at the bottom of the shelves are sanitary dead corners and become places for stored product pests to hide. These stored product pests can infect the bulk candy area. For example, borer-type stored product pests can bore through the plastic packaging of candy or eat chocolate candies, which has been constantly complained by consumers and brought serious economic losses to producers and operators.

[0003] Adopting an independent and relatively closed storage form can effectively isolate storage pests. The independent storage form in the prior art is to set up a glass container, put bulk candies in the glass container, and then cover the upper end of the glass container with a transparent glass lid. When consumers need to buy bulk candies, they need to open the glass lid, then put the bulk candies into a shopping bag, and then cover the glass lid on the upper end of the glass container. This type of storage structure has the following problems: when consumers buy, they need to pick up the glass lid first, and after the purchase, they need to cover the glass lid on the glass container again. Not only is the operation troublesome, but many consumers will forget to cover the glass lid again, resulting in failure to isolate storage pests; in addition, when consumers buy candies, there is no structure that can realize quantitative purchase. Usually, they lack the concept of quantity and often buy too much or too little. When in the weighing area, they take out the excess candies, and the staff then transports the excess candies back to the corresponding glass container, which increases the workload of consumers and staff. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a bulk candy quantitative selling device which can isolate stored goods from pest contamination and realize quantitative purchase.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of a bulk candy quantitative vending device in the utility model is as follows:

[0006] A device for selling quantitative bulk candies comprises a candy container with a cover plate at the upper end and a discharge port at the lower end, and also comprises a switch plate capable of rotating in a vertical direction or reciprocating in a horizontal direction, wherein a material receiving port corresponding to the discharge port and a sealing area for sealing the discharge port are arranged on the switch plate, wherein during the operation of the switch plate, a material receiving station corresponding to the material receiving port and the discharge port and a sealing station for sealing the discharge port in the sealing area are arranged, a material receiving container is arranged on the switch plate at the lower side of the material receiving port, a driving screw with a rotation axis extending along the depth direction of the material receiving port is arranged at the bottom of the material receiving container, a moving nut which cooperates with the anti-rotation guide of the container wall of the material receiving container is threadedly connected to the driving screw, and the lower end of the driving screw is a torque input end, and a holding cavity for holding candies is formed between the moving nut and the container wall of the material receiving container on its upper side.

[0007] Furthermore, the material receiving container is made of a transparent material, and a container wall of the material receiving container is provided with container scales arranged in an up-down direction.

[0008] Furthermore, the torque input end is composed of a knob head arranged at the bottom of the driving screw.

[0009] Furthermore, the switch plate is fixed on a rotating shaft whose rotating axis extends in the up-down direction. There are at least two material receiving containers, each of which is arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction. The upper plate surface of the switch plate between two adjacent material receiving containers constitutes the blocking area.

[0010] Furthermore, one side of the top of the material receiving container is hingedly connected to the bottom of the switch plate, and the other side of the top of the material receiving container is connected to the bottom of the switch plate through a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​structure includes a floating plate which is arranged on the container wall of the material receiving container and is floated radially along the driving screw rod through a spring, a floating plate button is connected to the floating plate, a floating plate protrusion is arranged at the upper end of the floating plate, and a switch plate slot which cooperates with the floating plate protrusion is arranged on the switch plate.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: when the present invention is used, consumers can adjust the size of the receiving chamber according to their purchase quantity. Specifically, the movable nut can be moved up and down by driving the rotation of the screw rod. When the movable nut moves upward, the volume of the receiving chamber becomes smaller, and when the movable nut moves downward, the volume of the receiving chamber becomes larger. After the volume of the receiving chamber is adjusted, the switch plate is actuated, and the switch plate is actuated to the material receiving station. At this time, the material discharge port of the candy container corresponds to the material receiving container, and the bulk candies in the candy container will fall into the material receiving container. When the material receiving container is full, the material receiving container can be moved out from the lower side of the candy container. At this time, the material discharge port of the candy container is blocked by the switch plate, and the situation that the candies are not isolated due to the consumer's forgetfulness will not occur. The consumer can take out the candies in the material receiving container. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] Embodiment 1 of a bulk candy quantitative vending device in the utility model is as follows Figures 1 to 4 As shown:

[0023] The candy container 2 includes a cover plate 1 at the upper end and a discharge port 6 at the lower end, wherein the discharge port is a constricted structure with a larger upper portion and a smaller lower portion. The bulk candy quantitative vending device also includes a rotating shaft 3 rotatably mounted on a corresponding base, wherein the rotating axis of the rotating shaft extends in the up-down direction, and the rotating shaft 3 is located on the right side of the candy container.

[0024] A horizontally arranged switch plate 4 located at the lower side of the candy container is fixed on the rotating shaft. The switch plate 4 is a circular plate. A material receiving port 5 corresponding to the material discharge port and a blocking area for blocking the material discharge port are provided on the switch plate. In this embodiment, there is one material receiving port. In the circumferential direction of the material receiving port, the upper plate surfaces of all switch plates except the material receiving port constitute the blocking area.

[0025] During the rotation process of the switch plate, there are material receiving stations corresponding to the material receiving port and the material discharging port and a blocking station for blocking the material discharging port in the blocking area. A material receiving container 8 is provided on the switch plate at the lower side of the material receiving port. A driving screw 11 with a rotation axis extending in the up-down direction is provided at the bottom of the material receiving container 8. A moving screw 10 that cooperates with the container wall rotation-stopping guide of the material receiving container is threadedly connected to the driving screw 11, that is, the moving screw 10 can be guided and moved along the depth of the material receiving container, and the moving screw 10 cannot rotate relative to the material receiving container. The lower end of the driving screw 11 is a torque input end, which is composed of a knob head 9 provided at the bottom of the driving screw.

[0026] A receiving cavity 19 for receiving candies is formed between the movable nut 10 and the container wall of the receiving container on its upper side. In this embodiment, the receiving container is made of a transparent material, and container scales arranged in the up-down direction are provided on the container wall 12 of the receiving container.

[0027] One side of the top of the material receiving container is hingedly connected to the bottom of the switch plate, and the other side of the top of the material receiving container is connected to the bottom of the switch plate through a buckle structure 7. The buckle structure 7 includes a floating plate 13 that is floatingly arranged on the container wall of the material receiving container along the radial direction of the driving screw through a spring 14, a floating plate button 15 is connected to the floating plate 13, and the floating plate button 15 is connected to the floating plate through a connecting rod 16. A floating plate protrusion is arranged on the upper end of the floating plate 13, and a switch plate card slot 18 that cooperates with the floating plate protrusion is arranged on the switch plate 4.
