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.

[0003] After searching the patent document with the publication number CN219609723U, the patent document discloses "a delivery buffer mechanism for an automatic vending machine, which allows the purchased goods to fall directly onto the guide plate during delivery, and then fall into the pickup box, where the buffer pad inside the pickup box provides buffering. The spring and rubber block can also provide buffering when the goods fall, thereby slowing down the falling speed of the goods and preventing the appearance of the goods from being broken. Compared with traditional automatic vending machines, the delivery buffer mechanism can protect the goods during delivery and reduce the impact force on the goods."

[0004] Since the shipping slide is tilted, the goods will roll forward and downward due to their own gravity when shipping, and the above-mentioned device only installs a buffer device on the lower end of the pickup box. After the goods roll off the slide, there will be not only a downward impact force but also a forward joint impact force. In this way, the above-mentioned device may still cause damage to the goods when in use or problems with the device after long-term use. Utility Model Content

The upper end of the material receiving frame 21 is fixed with a concave strip 23, and a plurality of springs 24 are fixed inside the concave strip 23. A top strip 25 is fixed to one end of the spring 24, and the front end surface of the top strip 25 is in contact with the inner wall of the front end of the vending machine 1, and the top strip 25 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the concave strip 23. The lengths of the material receiving frame 21, the concave strip 23 and the top strip 25 all correspond to the length of the notch at the front end of the vending machine 1. The bottom inner wall of the material receiving frame 21 and the inner wall of the front end are fixed to the inner wall of the concave strip 23. The walls are all fixed with protection pads 26, the inner filling of the protection pads 26 is a compact cotton material, and the outer wall of the protection pads 26 is an artificial leather material; when the automatic vending machine 1 delivers goods, the goods slide from the delivery square tube 11 into the receiving frame 21, and when the goods fall into the receiving frame 21, a downward and forward impact force is applied to the receiving frame 21. When the receiving frame 21 receives the impact force, through the setting of the first hydraulic buffer 2 and the second hydraulic buffer 22 and the first hydraulic buffer 2 and the second hydraulic buffer 22 are both slidably connected with the receiving frame 21, the receiving frame 21 will have a slight displacement and quickly reset, thereby buffering the impact force, and the protection pad 26 can protect the sliding goods, so as to avoid the impact force after the goods slide down from affecting or damaging the goods themselves and the vending machine.

[0028] The picking mechanism includes a fixed shaft 3, which is fixed at the upper end of the notch of the vending machine 1. The lower end of the fixed shaft 3 is rotatably connected with a flap 31.

When the receiving frame 21 receives the impact force, the first hydraulic buffer 2 and the second hydraulic buffer 22 are set and the first hydraulic buffer 2 and the second hydraulic buffer 22 are slidably connected with the receiving frame 21. The receiving frame 21 will have a slight displacement and quickly reset, thereby buffering the impact force. In combination with the protective pad 26, the sliding goods can be protected. In this way, It can prevent the impact force after the goods slide down from affecting or damaging the goods themselves and the vending machine. Through the transparent plastic material of the observation plate 32, it can be observed through the observation plate 32 whether there are goods falling into the receiving frame 21. After the goods fall into the receiving frame 21, the flap 31 is rotated and connected with the fixed shaft 3 to push the flap 31 inward to flip it into the vending machine 1, so that the person who purchased the goods can take out the purchased goods. When the flap 31 is not subjected to external force, the flap 31 is closed by its own gravity or flipping downward, and the blocking bar 33 can prevent the flap 31 from flipping down excessively.
