[0040] The utility model provides an automatic vending device with an intelligent inventory counting function.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present utility model, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the automatic vending machine 10 with intelligent inventory counting function includes a cabinet 100, a cabinet door 200, at least one shelf 300, a type identification mechanism 500 and a quantity detection mechanism 600. The cabinet 100 has a placement chamber 110 for storing goods and a switch port 120 connected to the placement chamber 110; the cabinet door 200 is movably connected to the cabinet 100, and the cabinet door 200 is used to open or close the switch port 120; the shelf 300 is arranged in the placement chamber 110, and a plurality of tray racks 400 are arranged side by side on the shelf 300; the type identification mechanism 500 is movably arranged on one side of the tray rack 400, and the type identification mechanism 500 is used to identify the type of goods on the tray rack 400; the quantity detection mechanism 600 is arranged on the tray rack 400, and the quantity detection mechanism 600 is used to detect the number of goods 20 on the tray rack 400.

[0042] It should be noted that the present application is provided with the commodity 20 as a boxed article, and the commodity 20 of other embodiments can be implemented with reference to this embodiment, and is not particularly limited here.

[0043] The cabinet 100, as the main structure of the entire device, not only provides a solid support, but also ensures the safe storage of the internal goods. The placement chamber 110 is reasonably designed to make full use of the space and facilitate the installation and layout of components such as the shelf 300 and the tray rack 400. The design of the switch port 120 makes the access operation of the cabinet 100 simple and convenient.

[0044] The cabinet door 200 is the first barrier to protect the goods inside the cabinet 100 from external interference. When closed, it can ensure the safety of the goods in the cabinet 100, and when opened, it is convenient for the staff to take and put the goods.

[0045] The layer plate 300 provides a stable support platform for the tray rack 400, ensuring that the goods can be neatly placed. Through the multi-layer design, the internal space of the cabinet 100 can be maximized to increase the storage capacity.

[0046] The layer plate 300 can be designed to be height-adjustable to accommodate pallet racks 400 or commodities of different heights. The surface of the layer plate 300 can be covered with an anti-skid pad to ensure that the pallet rack 400 is stable and not easy to slide.

[0047] The tray rack 400 is used to classify and manage different types of goods.

[0048] The type recognition mechanism 500 uses a camera to photograph the goods on the tray rack 400 and uses image recognition technology to identify the goods, thereby determining the type of the goods. The recognition result can be displayed on a display screen in real time or uploaded to a remote server via a network for easy viewing by management personnel.

[0049] The category identification mechanism 500 can be connected to a database to realize the linkage between automatic identification and inventory management and automatically update inventory information.

[0050] The category recognition mechanism 500 can also be equipped with a nighttime recognition function, which can recognize the category of goods at night by using an infrared camera.

[0051] The quantity detection mechanism 600 detects the quantity of the commodities 20 on the pallet rack 400 in real time through sensors or other detection technologies. The quantity information can be combined with the identification result of the type identification mechanism 500 to form complete inventory data.

[0052] Multiple sensors may be used to perform multi-angle detection on the same tray rack 400 to improve the accuracy of quantity detection.

[0053] The quantity detection mechanism 600 can be connected to an alarm system, and when the quantity of goods is lower than a preset threshold, an alarm is automatically triggered to prompt replenishment.

[0054] The quantity detection mechanism 600 can communicate with the remote server in real time, and the management personnel can check the changes in the quantity of goods at any time.

[0055] The utility model provides an automatic vending machine 10 with an intelligent inventory counting function. The type identification mechanism 500 is used to take photos of each plate layer for identification and comparison to determine the type of goods placed on each tray rack 400. Then, the number of goods 20 placed on each tray rack 400 is detected by the quantity detection mechanism 600. The number of goods 20 corresponding to each type is determined by combining the samples between the quantity detection mechanism 600 and the type detection mechanism. Thus, the number of goods 20 and the types of goods in the automatic vending machine can be intelligently counted, and the types and quantities of goods in the cabinet can be counted quickly and accurately. At the same time, the data can be uploaded to the supervision platform through the network to supervise the purchase, sales and inventory, thereby reducing labor costs and improving corporate benefits.

[0056] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to an automatic vending machine 10 with intelligent inventory counting function provided by the utility model, the category identification mechanism 500 includes a first direction movement component 510 and a category collection component 520. The first direction movement component 510 extends along the length direction of the cabinet 100, and the category collection component 520 is reciprocatably arranged on the first direction movement component 510.

[0057] It is understandable that the main function of the first direction motion component 510 is to provide a moving platform along the length direction of the cabinet 100, so that the type collection component 520 can reciprocate along this direction. In this way, the type collection component 520 can scan and identify the types of goods on the tray racks 400 located at different positions. Through the precise control of the first direction motion component 510, the type collection component 520 can accurately move to the front of each tray rack 400 to perform accurate type recognition.

[0058] The category acquisition component 520 is a component that actually performs commodity category recognition. It usually includes a camera, an image processor, etc., and is used to capture the commodity image on the tray rack 400 and recognize the commodity category through image processing technology. By comparing with the database, the category acquisition component 520 can determine the commodity category information and upload it to the system in real time.

[0059] Thus, through the coordinated use of the first direction motion component 510 and the type collection component 520, the type identification mechanism 500 can accurately and quickly identify the types of commodities on the tray racks 400 at different positions in the cabinet 100. This not only improves the efficiency of inventory counting, but also reduces the error rate of manual identification, providing strong support for the intelligent management of the automatic vending device.

[0060] Reference Figure 3 According to an automatic vending device 10 with intelligent inventory counting function provided by the utility model, the category collection component 520 includes a driving member 521 and an image sensor 522. The image sensor 522 is arranged on the driving member 521. The driving member 521 is used to drive the image sensor 522 to make a reciprocating motion on the first direction motion component 510.

[0061] It is understandable that the driving member 521 is a key component in the type acquisition component 520 that is responsible for driving the image sensor 522 to perform a reciprocating motion. Through the precise control of the driving member 521, the image sensor 522 can accurately move in front of each tray rack 400 to capture the required image data. The driving member 521 works in conjunction with the first direction motion component 510 to ensure that the image sensor 522 moves stably and smoothly in the length direction of the cabinet 100. The driving member 521 can be a device that can generate linear motion, such as a motor, a cylinder, or an electric push rod. The specific selection depends on the working environment, accuracy requirements, and cost considerations of the device. For occasions that require high-precision positioning, a stepper motor or a servo motor can be selected as the driving member 521, and a suitable transmission mechanism (such as a lead screw, a guide rail, etc.) can be used to achieve precise control.

[0062] The image sensor 522 is a core component in the category acquisition component 520 for capturing commodity images. It can capture detailed information on the pallet rack 400 and provide raw data for subsequent image processing and category recognition. The quality and performance of the image sensor 522 directly affect the accuracy and speed of category recognition. The image sensor 522 generally adopts a high-resolution, high-sensitivity CCD or CMOS image sensor 522. These sensors can work stably under different lighting conditions and capture clear images. According to actual needs, image sensors 522 of different sizes can be selected to adapt to the layout and size of different pallet racks 400.

[0063] Thus, through the coordinated use of the driving member 521 and the image sensor 522, the type acquisition component 520 can realize efficient and accurate image acquisition of the commodities on the tray rack 400 in the cabinet 100. Combined with the motion control of the first direction motion component 510, the entire type recognition mechanism 500 can automatically complete the task of identifying the types of commodities in the entire cabinet 100, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of the inventory work.

[0064] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 According to the utility model, an automatic vending machine 10 with an intelligent inventory function is provided. The automatic vending machine 10 with an intelligent inventory function includes a plurality of shelves 300 , and the plurality of shelves 300 are installed in the placement chamber 110 at intervals along the height direction of the cabinet 100 .

[0065] It is understandable that a plurality of shelves 300 are provided in the cabinet 100, and the number can be adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to different scales of commodity sales business. The plurality of shelves 300 are installed at intervals along the height direction of the cabinet 100, making full use of the vertical space of the cabinet 100 and improving storage efficiency. The spacing between the shelves 300 can be adjusted according to the size and type of the commodity 20 to ensure that the commodity can be firmly placed on the shelves 300, while facilitating picking up and inventorying. Some designs allow the spacing between the shelves 300 to be fine-tuned to adapt to commodities of different brands and specifications.

[0066] The arrangement of multiple layers 300 allows the commodities to be arranged in order according to brand, type or other classification methods, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of inventory counting. The type identification mechanism 500 and the quantity detection mechanism 600 can scan and identify the commodities on each layer 300, thereby achieving fast and accurate inventory counting.

[0067] In this way, by designing that multiple shelves 300 are installed at intervals along the height direction of the cabinet 100, the automatic vending machine 10 with intelligent inventory counting function not only improves the utilization rate of the storage space, but also makes the management and inventory counting of goods more convenient and efficient.

[0068] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 According to an automatic vending machine 10 with intelligent inventory counting function provided by the utility model, the category identification mechanism 500 includes a second direction motion component 530, the second direction motion component 530 extends along the height direction of the cabinet 100, and the first direction motion component 510 is reciprocatably arranged on the second direction motion component 530.

[0069] It is understandable that the second direction movement component 530 extends along the height direction of the cabinet 100, so that the first direction movement component 510 and the type collection component 520 installed thereon can move in the vertical direction. Driven by the second direction movement component 530, the first direction movement component 510 and the type collection component 520 can rise to the position of different layers 300 to identify the type of goods on each layer 300.

[0070] The second direction movement component 530 works in conjunction with the first direction movement component 510 to form a two-dimensional mobile platform. The first direction movement component 510 moves along the length direction of the cabinet 100 under the support of the second direction movement component 530; at the same time, the second direction movement component 530 drives the first direction movement component 510 and the type collection component 520 to move in the vertical direction. This two-dimensional movement capability enables the type collection component 520 to reach the commodity shelf at any position in the cabinet 100 to achieve comprehensive type recognition.

[0071] The second direction motion component 530 can be implemented by various methods such as screw drive, chain drive, linear motor, etc. The specific selection depends on the accuracy requirements, speed requirements and cost considerations of the device.

[0072] Screw drive has the characteristics of high precision and high stability, and is suitable for occasions with high requirements for position accuracy; linear motor has the characteristics of fast response and high speed, and is suitable for occasions that require frequent movement or rapid inventory.

[0073] Thus, by introducing the second direction motion component 530, the automatic vending device 10 with the intelligent inventory function can accurately identify the types of commodities in three-dimensional space. This not only improves the efficiency and accuracy of the inventory, but also enables the device to adapt to commodity shelves of different specifications and layouts, thereby enhancing its versatility and flexibility.

[0074] Reference Figure 6According to an automatic vending machine 10 with an intelligent inventory counting function provided by the utility model, a first direction movement component 510 includes a screw rod 511 and a sliding connector 512, and a second direction movement component 530 includes a first slide bar 531 and a second slide bar 532. The first slide bar 531 and the second slide bar 532 are respectively arranged on the inner wall of the cabinet 100 on both sides of the switch port 120, and the two ends of the screw rod 511 are connected to the first slide bar 531 and the second slide bar 532 through the sliding connector 512.

[0075] It is understandable that the screw rod 511 is the core component of the first direction motion component 510, and the screw rod 511 is responsible for providing the driving force for the linear motion. The screw rod 511 has the characteristics of high precision and high rigidity, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the movement of the species collection component 520 in the first direction.

[0076] The sliding connection 512 is a key component connecting the screw rod 511 and the second direction motion assembly 530. It allows the screw rod 511 to maintain a stable connection with the first slide bar 531 and the second slide bar 532 during the sliding process, thereby achieving support and guidance of the first direction motion assembly 510 in the second direction.

[0077] The first slide bar 531 and the second slide bar 532 are disposed on the inner wall of the cabinet 100 on both sides of the switch port 120, forming a support frame of the second direction motion component 530. The connection design between the sliding connector 512 and the first slide bar 531 and the second slide bar 532 should ensure smooth and low-friction movement to reduce movement resistance and improve movement accuracy. At the same time, the connection should have sufficient rigidity and stability to prevent shaking or deviation during movement.

[0078] In summary, through the cooperation of the precise first direction movement component 510 and the second direction movement component 530, the automatic vending machine has higher accuracy and stability in the intelligent inventory function, providing merchants with a more convenient and efficient inventory management method.

[0079] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 According to an automatic vending device 10 with an intelligent inventory counting function provided by the utility model, the quantity detection mechanism 600 includes a detection plate 610 and a plurality of reflection sensors 620. The detection plate 610 extends along the arrangement direction of the goods 20 on the pallet rack 400. The plurality of reflection sensors 620 are arranged on the detection plate 610, and the plurality of reflection sensors 620 are arranged one by one corresponding to the goods 20 on the pallet rack 400.

[0080] It is understandable that the detection plate 610 extends along the arrangement direction of the goods 20 on the pallet rack 400 to ensure that it can cover the width or length of the entire pallet rack 400. The design of the detection plate 610 takes into account the layout of the pallet rack 400 and the size of the goods 20 to ensure that each product 20 can be accurately detected.

[0081] The reflective sensors 620 are arranged on the detection plate 610, and their number corresponds to the commodities 20 on the pallet rack 400. There is at least one reflective sensor 620 at the corresponding position of each commodity 20.

[0082] The working principle of the reflective sensor 620 is to emit light and detect the reflected light. When the product 20 is present, it will reflect a part of the light back to the sensor; when the product 20 is missing, the reflected light will be reduced or absent.

[0083] By detecting the light reflection of each reflection sensor 620, the quantity detection mechanism 600 can determine whether the corresponding commodity 20 exists. When all commodities 20 are correctly detected, the quantity detection mechanism 600 can count the total number of commodities 20 on the tray rack 400 and compare it with the preset inventory quantity to determine whether the inventory is sufficient or needs to be replenished.

[0084] In summary, the quantity detection mechanism 600 provides an effective inventory detection method for the automatic vending device 10 with intelligent inventory counting function through the arrangement of the detection plate 610 and the reflective sensor 620, which helps merchants to grasp the inventory status in real time and improve management efficiency.

[0085] Reference Figure 2 According to an automatic vending device 10 with an intelligent inventory counting function provided by the utility model, a mounting groove 310 is provided at the bottom of the layer plate 300 corresponding to the tray rack 400, a quantity detection mechanism 600 is installed in the mounting groove 310, and a reflective sensor 620 is arranged toward the tray rack 400.

[0086] It is understandable that the installation slot 310 provides a dedicated installation space for the quantity detection mechanism 600, making the installation process simpler and more direct. The reflective sensor 620 is arranged toward the tray rack 400 to ensure direct detection of the commodity 20. This design can reduce the attenuation and interference of light during transmission, and improve the accuracy of the reflective sensor 620 in judging whether the commodity 20 exists.

[0087] The installation slot 310 makes full use of the space below the layer plate 300 and avoids the space above the tray rack 400 being occupied by the quantity detection mechanism 600. This not only ensures the normal use of the tray rack 400, but also makes the structure of the entire vending device more compact and reasonable.

[0088] The quantity detection mechanism 600 is hidden in the installation slot 310, making the appearance of the entire vending device more neat and beautiful. When customers choose goods, they will not be disturbed by the quantity detection mechanism 600 and other internal mechanisms, which improves the shopping experience.

[0089] In summary, by setting the installation slot 310 at the bottom of the layer plate 300 corresponding to the tray rack 400 and cleverly installing the quantity detection mechanism 600 therein, the utility model provides an automatic vending device 10 with intelligent inventory function that is both beautiful and practical. This design not only improves the efficiency and accuracy of the inventory work, but also enhances the user experience of the entire vending device.

[0090] Furthermore, according to the automatic vending device 10 with intelligent inventory counting function provided by the present invention, a detection hole is opened at the bottom of the tray rack 400 at a position corresponding to the reflective sensor 620 .

[0091] It is understood that the main function of the detection holes is to allow the light of the reflection sensor 620 to penetrate the pallet rack 400 and directly illuminate the commodity 20. Through these detection holes, the reflection sensor 620 can receive the reflected light of the commodity 20, thereby determining whether the commodity 20 exists. The size and shape of the detection holes should be optimized according to the specifications and performance of the reflection sensor 620 to ensure that the light can penetrate smoothly while preventing debris or dust from entering. The position of the detection holes needs to accurately correspond to the arrangement of the commodities 20 on the pallet rack 400 to ensure that each commodity 20 can be accurately detected.

[0092] When the reflective sensor 620 is installed in the installation slot 310 of the layer plate 300 and faces the pallet rack 400, the detection hole ensures that the sensor can directly contact the commodity 20 on the pallet rack 400. Through the detection hole, the reflective sensor 620 can receive the reflected light of the commodity 20 and convert it into an electrical signal, which is then processed and analyzed by the system.

[0093] In summary, the detection hole design at the bottom of the tray rack 400 is an important part of realizing the quantity detection function in the automatic vending device 10 with intelligent inventory function. By cooperating with the reflection sensor 620, the detection hole ensures that the quantity detection mechanism 600 can accurately and efficiently detect the quantity of the goods 20 on the tray rack 400.

[0094] In one embodiment, the quantity detection mechanism 600 includes two detection plates 610 and a plurality of through-beam sensors. The detection plates 610 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the pallet rack 400 along the arrangement direction of the goods 20. The plurality of through-beam sensors are arranged on the two detection plates 610 in pairs, and the through-beam sensors are arranged corresponding to the goods 20.

[0095] It is understood that the symmetrical design of the detection plate 610 not only helps to balance the overall structure of the device, but also reduces the detection deviation caused by installation errors or deformation of the tray rack 400. The through-beam sensor is a sensor that emits light and detects the received reflected light. Unlike the reflection sensor 620, the through-beam sensor consists of a transmitter and a receiver, which are located on both sides of the tray rack 400.

[0096] When a commodity 20 exists on the pallet rack 400, it blocks the light between the corresponding position of the through-beam sensor. When the light emitted by the transmitter is blocked by the commodity 20 and cannot reach the receiver, the system will determine that there is a commodity 20 at that position. By counting the status of all through-beam sensors, the quantity detection mechanism 600 can accurately calculate the total number of commodities 20 on the pallet rack 400.

[0097] In summary, by adopting the design of two symmetrically arranged detection plates 610 and multiple opposing beam sensors, the automatic vending machine provided by the utility model has higher accuracy and reliability in quantity detection.
