[0037] The following will be combined with the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0038] like Figure 1 to Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment proposes a vending machine pickup bucket, including: an outer frame 1 having a feed opening 110 and a discharge opening 120; a bucket body 2 is rotatably arranged on the outer frame 1, and the bucket body 2 blocks the discharge opening 120 after rotation, and the bucket body 2 is located below the feed opening 110, and a accommodating space 210 is provided inside the bucket body 2, and the accommodating space 210 is used to hold goods; a baffle 3 is rotatably arranged on the outer frame 1, and the bucket body 2 abuts against the baffle 3, and the baffle 3 is located in the accommodating space 210, and the bucket body 2 rotates to drive the baffle 3 to rotate, and the baffle 3 is located between the accommodating space 210 and the feed opening 110 after rotation.

[0039] In this embodiment, after the customer completes the payment for the purchased goods, the goods will fall into the bucket body 2 from the discharge port 120. After the goods fall into the bucket body 2, the customer will rotate the bucket body 2, so that the discharge port 110 and the storage space 210 are connected, so that the customer can take out the goods in the storage space 210. When the bucket body 2 rotates, the baffle 3 abutting against the bucket body 2 will be driven by the bucket body 2 to rotate. After the baffle 3 rotates, the original discharge port 120 will be blocked. This baffle 3 can not only prevent the goods in the vending machine from falling due to the machine's own failure, and the goods will not hurt the customer's hand, but also prevent the goods from being close to the bucket body, so that the customer can take the goods without paying, which not only improves safety, but also prevents the merchant from suffering unnecessary economic losses.

[0040] Furthermore, it also includes: a plurality of pulleys 4 rotatably arranged on the bucket body 2 , and the bucket body 2 abuts against the baffle 3 through the pulleys 4 .

[0041] In this embodiment, a pulley 4 is provided on the bucket body 2. When the bucket body 2 rotates, the pulley 4 will always maintain contact with the baffle 3 and drive the baffle 3 to rotate. Through the contact between the pulley 4 and the baffle 3, the rotating pulley 4 will not have a large friction force on the baffle 3, which not only enables customers to save more effort when rotating the bucket body 2 and improves the customer's shopping experience, but also the bucket body 2 will not scratch the baffle 3, thereby increasing the service life of the baffle 3.

[0042] Furthermore, it also includes: a limit plate 5, which is arranged on the outer frame 1, and the limit plate 5 is located at the unloading port 110. After the baffle plate 3 rotates, it abuts against the limit plate 5.

[0043] In this embodiment, although the baffle 3 can rotate, it cannot rotate indefinitely, otherwise it cannot play the role of blocking and supporting. When the baffle 3 rotates to a certain angle, the baffle 3 will abut against the limit plate 5, so that the baffle 3 can no longer rotate. Even if a customer wants to open the baffle 3 by hand, the rotation of the baffle 3 will be blocked due to the existence of the limit member, thereby improving the safety of the vending machine.

[0044] Furthermore, it also includes: the baffle plate 3 abuts against the limiting plate 5 after rotating 90 degrees.

[0045] In this embodiment, after the baffle 3 rotates 90°, the baffle 3 can completely block the material discharge port 110. At this time, the baffle 3 will abut against the limit plate 5, so that the baffle 3 can no longer rotate. Rotating 90° is the best angle for the baffle 3 to achieve the best shielding effect, and the shielding area of ​​the baffle 3 is maximized.

[0046] Furthermore, it also includes: the rotation center of the bucket body 2 is located at the bottom of the discharge port 120.

[0047] In this embodiment, the bucket body 2 rotates along one side of its bottom surface close to the discharge port 120, and the opening of the bucket body 2 faces upward. When the customer rotates the bucket body 2, he or she can not only directly see the goods but also simply tilt his or her arm to reach into the rotated accommodating space 210 to take out the goods. At the same time, the rotation amplitude of the other side of the bucket body 2 is greater than that of the side of the discharge port 120. The customer only needs to rotate a smaller angle to completely take out the goods, and the baffle 3 on the other side can also rotate a larger angle.

[0048] Furthermore, the invention also includes: a handle 6 is arranged on the bucket body 2 .

[0049] In this embodiment, the handle 6 makes it more convenient for customers to rotate the bucket 2. The handle 6 is a common exposed handle 6, and can also be other forms. It not only allows customers to see the pickup location more intuitively, but also makes it more convenient to hold, saving customers' time in picking up goods and improving shopping efficiency.

[0050] Furthermore, it also includes: there are a plurality of buffer members 7, which are arranged in the accommodating space 210, and the buffer members 7 are used to buffer the impact force when the goods fall.

[0051] In this embodiment, the buffer member 7 is arranged at the bottom of the bucket body 2. When heavy goods such as soda falls from a high place in the vending machine, not only will a high impact force fall on the bucket body 2, but the goods themselves may also be damaged, resulting in a poor shopping experience for customers and direct economic losses to the merchant of the vending machine. The buffer member 7 can not only prevent the goods from directly damaging the bucket body 2, but also can protect the goods.

[0052] Furthermore, the buffer member 7 includes: a shell 710 disposed in the bucket body 2; a bracket 740 is lifted and lowered on the shell 710; two ends of the elastic member 720 are respectively disposed on the bracket 740 and the shell 710, and the elastic member 720 is used to provide a force for the bracket 740 to rise.

[0053] In this embodiment, the shell 710 is a cylinder, and may also be other shapes. The shell 710 has a accommodating space 210. The bracket 740 slides in the accommodating space 210. The bracket 740 is also a cylinder. A spring is provided between the bracket 740 and the shell 710 to connect the two parts. The shell 710 mainly guides the movement of the bracket 740 to prevent the inclined surface from changing the movement trajectory of the bracket 740 to an oblique direction when the goods fall, resulting in the buffer member 7 failing to play a buffering role. The buffer member 7 has a simple structure and can play a good buffering role, thereby ensuring the service life of the bucket body 2 and the safety of the goods.

[0054] Furthermore, the buffer member 7 also includes: a receiving pad 730 disposed on the top of the bracket 740, and the receiving pad 730 is used to receive the goods.

[0055] In this embodiment, the top of the bracket 740 is provided with a receiving pad 730, which can further alleviate the impact force and improve the impact resistance of the bracket 740. In addition, the square receiving pads 730 are evenly distributed and overlapped between the buffers to prevent smaller goods from falling into the gaps between the brackets 740.

[0056] Furthermore, the receiving pad 730 is made of rubber.

[0057] In this embodiment, the rubber material is soft and has a strong ability to absorb impact force. It can also protect customers from being scratched by the bottom bracket 740, thereby protecting the safety of customers.

[0058] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
