Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automatic vending machines, in particular to an automatic vending machine which is convenient for taking materials. Background Art

[0002] A vending machine is a machine that can automatically pay for goods according to the coins inserted. Vending machines are commonly used equipment for commercial automation. They are not restricted by time and place, can save manpower and facilitate transactions. It is a new form of commercial retail, also known as a 24-hour mini supermarket. Common vending machines are divided into four types: beverage vending machines, food vending machines, comprehensive vending machines, and cosmetics vending machines.

[0003] The take-out port of a vending machine is generally equipped with a rotating plate inside that needs to be opened manually from the outside by consumers. The rotating plate must be opened first before the items dropped from the vending machine can be taken out. The items are still at the bottom of the take-out port, and consumers need to bend over or even squat to take them out, which is not convenient enough. There is also a risk of pinching hands when taking out the items. Moreover, as long as the vending machine is sold, the customer must manually open the rotating plate, and the rotating plate position is prone to breeding bacteria and even causing the spread of some diseases. At the same time, the rotating plate can also be opened when the vending machine is not in use, which is not conducive to the protection of the take-out port of the vending machine.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present application proposes a vending machine that is convenient for taking materials. Utility Model Content

[0030] Among them, a slide seat 9 is fixed inside the material picking box 3, and a through lifting guide groove 10 is opened in the slide seat 9 and the material picking box 3. The feeding basket 4 is installed in the material picking box 3 through the sliding movement of the slide plate 5 inside the slide seat 9. An avoidance groove 16 for the movement of the feeding basket 4 is opened inside the material picking box 3. In this embodiment, the slide seat 9, the lifting guide groove 10, and the flipping guide groove 6 are all for ensuring the parallel sliding of the feeding basket 4 in the material picking box 3. The avoidance groove 16 is set to ensure that the items can be reliably lifted by the feeding basket 4 after being inside the material picking box 3 to prevent the items from falling.

[0031] Among them, one end of the linkage plate 7 is rotatably connected to a lifting slide rod 11, the lifting slide rod 11 slides through the lifting guide groove 10 and is also fixed to the slide plate 5. In this embodiment, the rotation energy between the lifting slide rod 11 and the linkage plate 7 consumes the angle difference between the linkage plate 7 and the lifting guide groove 10, thereby ensuring the transmission of power between the linkage plate 7 and the lifting slide rod 11.

[0032] Among them, a flip slide bar 13 is fixedly provided at one end of the linkage plate 7 away from the lifting slide bar 11. The flip slide bar 13 is rotatably installed with the internal thread block 12. The flip slide bar 13 also slides in the flip guide groove 6. In this embodiment, the sliding of the flip slide bar 13 inside the flip guide groove 6 can promote the flipping of the material box 3 on the vending machine body 1, and the activity path of the flip slide bar 13 is consistent with the internal thread block 12.

[0033] Among them, the driving component also includes a mounting seat 14 fixed inside the cargo bin 2 and a driving screw 15 rotating inside the mounting seat 14 and threadedly matched with the internal thread block 12, and also includes a servo motor 8 fixed at the upper end of the mounting seat 14 and the output end is fixed to the driving screw 15. In this embodiment, the driving component is vertically movable, and driving components are provided on both sides of the material box 3 to ensure the stable opening and closing of the material box 3 and the stable lifting and lowering of the feeding basket 4.

[0034] Among them, the flip guide groove 6 is not parallel to the outer baffle plate of the material picking box 3, and the slide seat 9 and the lifting guide groove 10 are parallel to the outer baffle plate of the material picking box 3. In this embodiment, the flip guide groove 6 also forms an angle difference with the mounting seat 14 support, and the opening and closing action of the material picking box 3 is realized by the angle difference, and the angle difference is the opening and closing angle of the material picking box 3.

[0035] Among them, the distances between the two end points on the same side of the flip guide groove 6 and the lifting guide groove 10 are equal. In this embodiment, the length of the linkage plate 7 is ensured to adapt to the distance difference between the flip guide groove 6 and the lifting guide groove 10, ensuring the stable sliding of the flip slide bar 13 inside the flip guide groove 6 and the lifting slide bar 11 inside the lifting guide groove 10.

[0036] It can be understood that, firstly, the material picking box 3 is driven electrically, and the consumer does not need to open the material picking box 3, which makes the operation more convenient and avoids the spread of diseases caused by contact between multiple people; secondly, a lifting feeding basket 4 is provided, and the feeding basket 4 can lift the goods inside the material picking box 3 before taking them out, shortening the distance with the consumer's hand, so that the consumer can take out the items more conveniently and calmly, and finally the driving of the material picking box 3 and the feeding basket 4 is linked through the linkage plate 7, which has the advantages of high compactness, good linkage effect, and easy automation.

[0037] A specific application of this embodiment is: after the consumer pays for the selected items, the items are dropped into the material picking box 3 through the conveying module inside the vending machine body 1. At this time, the servo motor 8 works, and the output of the servo motor 8 drives the driving screw 15 to rotate in the mounting seat 14. The driving screw 15 drives the internal thread block 12 to rise inside the mounting seat 14 through the spiral, and the flip slide bar 13 moves inside the flip guide groove 6. Since the flip guide groove 6 is inclined, the internal thread block 12 moves vertically, thereby prompting the material picking box 3 to open along the rotating shaft at the bottom. While the flip slide bar 13 moves, the coupling The movable plate 7 drives the lifting slide bar 11 to move inside the lifting guide groove 10, and the lifting slide bar 11 also drives the slide plate 5 to move outside the slide seat 9, and the slide plate 5 drives the feeding basket 4 to move. Since the lifting guide groove 10, the slide seat 9 and the material picking box 3 are all distributed in parallel, the feeding basket 4 at this time moves along the path of the lifting guide groove 10 and the slide seat 9, and the moving feeding basket 4 lifts the items at the bottom of the material picking box 3 upward. When the material picking box 3 is fully opened, the feeding basket 4 lifts the items in the material picking box 3 to a certain height, so that the consumer can directly take the items out of the feeding basket 4 through the opened material picking box 3;

[0038] After the picking is completed, the servo motor 8 drives in the reverse direction, driving the picking box 3 to reset on the vending machine body 1, and the feeding basket 4 resets in the picking box 3, waiting for the next feeding work.
