DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the utility model is described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0025] The embodiment of the present application provides a popcorn vending machine, which solves the problem that the popcorn is transported out by a mechanical arm, but the unprocessed popcorn cannot be screened out, resulting in a poor eating experience for customers. The popcorn is rolled on the screening plate 6, and during the rolling process, it is screened through the screening holes 601. The screened popcorn enters the delivery arm 502 through the groove on the limiting plate 7, thereby preventing bad popcorn from entering the delivery arm 502 for sale.
[0026] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0027] The utility model embodiment discloses a popcorn vending machine.
[0028] According to the attached Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a storage box 1, a disassembly door 2 is plugged into the storage box 1, a feed port 4 is fixedly installed on the back of the storage box 1, the processed popcorn is poured into the storage box 1 through the feed port 4, and the popcorn is stored in the storage box 1, a fixing seat 5 is fixedly installed inside the storage box 1, a driving motor is arranged inside the fixing seat 5, a display screen is arranged on the side of the storage box 1, and a code is scanned and paid through the display screen, and the storage box 1 is provided with:
[0029] The feeding unit includes a rotating seat 501 and a delivery arm 502. The rotating seat 501 is connected to the driving motor in the fixed seat 5. The other end of the rotating seat 501 is fixedly connected to the delivery arm 502. The delivery arm 502 is driven to rotate under the rotation of the rotating seat 501. The feeding unit pushes out the popcorn through the delivery arm 502, and the rotating seat 501 is driven to rotate by the driving motor. At this time, the rotating seat 501 rotates and drives the delivery arm 502 to rotate, and the popcorn at the delivery arm 502 is pushed out.
