[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background technical information related to the present application and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Cigar vending machines can provide 24-hour uninterrupted sales services. Consumers can buy cigars at any time, and there is no need for manual operation. Consumers can choose and purchase products independently, reducing labor costs. However: On the one hand, cigars have certain humidity requirements for their storage environment. Generally, the humidity requirements for cigars are between 65% and 75%. The tobacco leaves in cigars require a certain humidity to maintain their softness and elasticity to maintain their freshness and taste. If the environment is too dry, the cigars may dry out, resulting in a worse taste. This feature of cigars has led to many cigar vending machines being unable to meet humidity conditions, limiting the application of cigar vending machines; on the other hand, with the improvement of automation, traditional cigar vending machines no longer meet customer needs, and more automated cigar vending machines are needed to improve customer experience.

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a kind of cigar selling equipment that can be ejected automatically to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the invention

[0038] The main motor 12, humidifier 19, mobile motor 14 and electric push rod 16 are all electrically connected to the control device 20; the control device 20 is electrically connected to the display screen 6 fixed on the inspection door 5 and the power supply. The power supply can be a built-in mobile power supply or an external power supply.

[0039] In some embodiments, the rotating plate 10 is a disc-shaped structure, and the top of the motor shaft of the main motor 12 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the bottom of the rotating plate 10. The smoke tubes 7 are arranged along the radial direction of the rotating plate 10, and the central axes of all the smoke tubes 7 in the same radial direction are in the same plane as the radius.

[0040] In some embodiments, a fixed block 13 is fixedly disposed on the bottom plate at the bottom of the lower housing 1, and a main motor 12 is fixedly disposed above the fixed block 13; the motor shaft of the mobile motor 14 rotates through the fixed block 13 and is axially fixedly connected to one end of the screw 18; the mobile motor 14 is fixedly connected to the fixed block 13. The bottom of the mobile block 15 is slidably connected to the bottom plate.

[0041] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cigarette outlet is arranged along the radial direction of the rotating plate 10, and the number of the cigarette outlet is the same as the number of the cigarette tubes 7 arranged in one radial direction of the rotating plate 10. The direction of the central axis of the screw 18 is parallel to the radial direction of the rotating plate 10 corresponding to the cigarette outlet.

[0042] In some embodiments, in order to prevent dust and keep moisture, an openable cover 3 is provided on the top of the cigarette outlet, one end of the cover 3 is rotatably connected to the upper cover plate 2, and when the cigar is pushed out, the cover 3 will open under the pushing action of the cigar.

[0043] In some embodiments, in order to achieve a better moisturizing effect, a plurality of ventilation holes 8 are provided on the smoke containing tube 7 .

[0044] In some embodiments, in order to ensure the stability of the rotating plate 10, reference Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 The lower housing 1 is provided with a sliding cavity 21 that matches the plate edge of the rotating plate 10, and the plate edges around the rotating plate 10 are slidably arranged in the sliding cavity 21. Further, in order to facilitate assembly, the lower housing 1 is assembled from two arc-shaped housings that are detachably connected.

[0045] Working principle:

[0046] When placing your cigar:

[0047] Open the upper shell 2, manually place the cigar in the cigarette tube 7, and then buckle the upper shell 2. In some embodiments, the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 1 are provided with marks for identifying the installation position to ensure that the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 1 are in the same initial position each time after opening and installation.

[0048] When buying cigars:

[0049] Customers who need to buy cigars use WeChat or Alipay to scan the QR code on the display screen 6 to pay. After the payment is successful, the control device 20 controls the movable motor 14 to rotate so that the electric push rod 16 is just below the ejection hole 24, and then controls the electric push rod 16 to eject, and the cigar will push open the upper cover 3 to be exposed. The control device 20 waits for a period of time to wait for the customer to take the cigar, and then controls the electric push rod 16 to return, so that the cigar is automatically ejected after the customer completes the scan code payment.

[0050] In some embodiments, the control device 20 will record the number of times the code is scanned to calculate the remaining number of cigars and the position of the ejected cigars. Specifically, after the staff puts the cigars in the smoke tube 7, they reset by pressing the reset button on the display screen 6. The number of cigars is the number of smoke tubes 7, and at this time the control device 20 controls the humidifier to power on for humidification; when the customer purchases, the control device controls the electric push rod 16 to eject in sequence along the straight line direction of the cigarette outlet. When all the cigarette outlets on the same radius are ejected, the control device 20 controls the main motor 12 to rotate a certain angle so that the cigarette outlet is replaced with the smoke tube 7 in the next radial direction, and so on and so forth. When the number of cigars is 0, an early warning message is issued on the display screen 6.

[0051] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the humidifier 19 operates for a long time, but in another embodiment, the humidifier 19 can be operated intermittently under the control of the control device 20, which can be set according to actual needs, such as the size of the device itself, the total number of smoke pipes 7, etc. When the water in the humidifier 19 is used up, the inspection door 5 can be opened manually to add water.

[0052] In some embodiments, the humidity is detected by installing a humidity sensor inside the upper housing 2, which serves as a switch signal for the control device 20 to control the humidification operation of the humidifier 19. This is a conventional technical means used by those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail.

[0053] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and do not limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.

[0054] Although the above describes the specific implementation methods of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, it is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Technical personnel in the relevant field should understand that on the basis of the technical solution of the present application, various modifications or deformations that can be made by technical personnel in this field without creative work are still within the scope of protection of the present application.
