[0028] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the present embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are all within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0029] Please refer to the attached Figure 1-5 ,A door lock device for a vending machine in an embodiment of the utility model.

[0030] The door lock device of the vending machine includes: a warehouse 1 for placing products, with a delivery port 14 opened on one side of the warehouse 1; a warehouse door 6 movably arranged at the delivery port 14; a pushing member 2 arranged on the warehouse 1 and used to transfer the products in the warehouse 1 to the delivery port 14; a connecting component connected to the warehouse door 6; and a driving mechanism 3.

[0031] When the driving mechanism 3 is driven, the pushing member 2 is driven to move so as to transfer the products in the cargo warehouse 1 to the delivery port 14 and at the same time drive the warehouse door 6 to open through the connecting component; or, when the driving mechanism 3 is driven, the pushing member 2 is moved to transfer the products in the cargo warehouse 1 to the delivery port 14 and at the same time drives the connecting component to move to drive the warehouse door 6 to open.

[0032] The utility model adopts a driving device to move the pusher 2 and the bin door 6, so as to reduce the cost of the vending machine and save costs, and solves the problem of increased costs caused by the opening and closing of the pusher 2 and the bin door 6 of the existing vending machine being driven separately by a driving device.

[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, the pusher 2 is horizontally slidably arranged on the warehouse 1, the pusher 2 is at least partially placed in the warehouse 1, and the pusher 2 is located at the end of the warehouse 1 away from the door 6 in the initial position. The door 6 is movably arranged at the outlet 14, and the connecting assembly includes a lever 5 rotatably arranged on the warehouse 1, and the side wall of the lever 5 away from the door 6 is at least partially a first guide surface 51 inclined downward, and the other end of the lever 5 is rotatably connected to the door 6. When the driving mechanism 3 drives, the pusher 2 moves in the direction close to the door 6 and abuts against the first guide surface 51 during the movement; the lever 5 rotates relative to the warehouse 1 when the pusher 2 abuts against the first guide surface 51, so that the end away from the first guide surface 51 moves downward or upward to pull the door 6 downward or downward to open the outlet 14, so that a driving mechanism 3 can realize that the pusher 2 pushes the product out of the outlet 14 and opens the door 6.

[0034] Specifically, the product may be a plate-shaped item, such as a facial mask, a mobile phone case or a boxed item.

[0035] In one embodiment, an elastic member 9 is provided between the cargo bin 1 and the lever 5. The elastic member 9 is in a compressed state when the push member 2 abuts against the first guide surface 51. The elastic member 9 is located at the side of the lever 5 at the rotational connection with the cargo bin 1 and close to the door 6. In the initial state, the delivery port 14 is closed by the door 6, the push member 2 is located at the end of the cargo bin 1 away from the door 6, and the elastic member 9 is not compressed. When the push member 2 abuts against the first guide surface 51, the end of the lever 5 connected to the door 6 is away from the end of the cargo bin 1, and the elastic member 9 is compressed and drives the door 6 to open. When the product is taken away by the user or the product is out of the warehouse, the motor 31 reverses to restore the initial position, and the lever 5 restores the initial position under the reset force of the elastic member 9.

[0036] Specifically, the elastic member 9 may be a spring or a reciprocatingly folded spring.

[0037] In one embodiment, in order to realize the sliding setting of the warehouse door 6, the warehouse 1 is provided with slide grooves 13 on both sides of the delivery port 14, and sliders 61 are provided on both sides of the warehouse door 6, and the sliders 61 are at least partially placed in the slide grooves 13.

[0039] Specifically, the transmission mechanism includes a screw rod 32 connected to the motor 31, and the pusher 2 is connected to the screw rod 32 through the screw rod 32 bearing or thread. The motor 31, the lever 5, and the screw rod 32 are all arranged at the bottom of the warehouse 1. The motor 31 is located between the warehouse door 6 and the pusher 2. The screw rod 32 is located on the side of the motor 31 away from the warehouse door 6, and the lever 5 is at least partially opposite to the screw rod 32. When the motor 31 is driven, the screw rod 32 is driven to rotate to drive the pusher 2 to move. In other embodiments, the transmission mechanism can also be a belt transmission mechanism, and the pusher 2 is connected to the belt on the belt transmission mechanism, which can also realize the movement of the pusher 2; or the transmission mechanism can also be a gear driving a rack to move, etc.

There are two levers 5, which are located on both sides of the screw rod 32 and correspond to the positions of the two pushing blocks 23.

[0041] In one embodiment, in order to facilitate the push block 23 to abut against the first guide surface 51 to drive the lever 5 to rotate, the push block 23 is provided with a chamfer 24 on the top of the side wall opposite to the lever 5, which is used in conjunction with the first guide surface 51. Specifically, the first guide surface 51 and the chamfer 24 are one of an inclined surface and a curved surface.
