[0021] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a technical solution for an automatic laundry ball vending machine: an automatic laundry ball vending machine, comprising a cabinet assembly 1, a first crawler conveyor 2 and a third crawler conveyor 3 are installed at the rear end of the cabinet assembly 1, a second crawler conveyor 4 and a material drop frame 5 are installed at the front end of the cabinet assembly 1, a material bin 6 is installed on the top of the first crawler conveyor 2, a first slide 7 is commonly connected to the conveying end of the first crawler conveyor 2 and the conveying start of the second crawler conveyor 4, a second slide 8 is commonly connected to the conveying end of the second crawler conveyor 4 and the conveying start of the third crawler conveyor 3, and the third crawler conveyor 4 is connected to the conveying end of the second crawler conveyor 4 and the conveying start of the third crawler conveyor 3. The conveying end of the machine 3 and the top of the blanking frame 5 are commonly connected with the third slide 9. The first crawler conveyor 2, the third crawler conveyor 3 and the second crawler conveyor 4 have the same structure. A plurality of partitions are evenly spaced on the crawlers of the first crawler conveyor 2, the third crawler conveyor 3 and the second crawler conveyor 4. The second crawler conveyor 4 forms an angle of 30° with the horizontal direction. A plurality of blocking rods 10 are installed on the side panels on both sides of the second crawler conveyor 4, and the height of the blocking rods is consistent with the height of the washing balls lying flat. A counting sensing device is provided on the side wall of the second slide 8 to sense the number of washing balls passing through the second slide 8.

[0022] It should be noted that the crawlers on the first crawler conveyor 2, the third crawler conveyor 3 and the second crawler conveyor 4 are all plastic belts, and the noise generated during operation is minimal. The machines run continuously and can implement continuous and uninterrupted shipment;

[0023] The silo 6 and the first crawler conveyor 2 form a primary material dividing mechanism, the first slide 7, the second crawler conveyor 4 and multiple groups of blocking rods 10 form a secondary material dividing mechanism, the second slide 8, the third crawler conveyor 3, the third slide 9 and the blanking frame 5 form a tertiary material dividing mechanism, which adopts a three-level material dividing and continuous shipping structure, and controls the discharge step by step, which can effectively ensure accurate shipment, extremely low error rate, and modular design, which is convenient for later maintenance. Each major mechanism is installed independently, and the entire mechanism can be replaced.

[0024] See also Figure 5 The cabinet assembly 1 includes a chassis 11, a box cover 13 is rotatably connected to the top of the chassis 11 through a hinge, a box door 12 is rotatably connected to the front end of the chassis 11 through a hinge, a controller 14 is installed on the inner side of the box door 12, a material taking port 17 is opened at the bottom of the box door 12, a coin acceptor 15 and a coin frame 16 are installed on the edge of the box door 12, a first crawler conveyor 2, a third crawler conveyor 3 and a second crawler conveyor 4 are installed inside the chassis 11, a silo 6 is installed on the top of the chassis 11, the box cover 13 is located above the silo 6, and the opening end of the blanking frame 5 corresponds to the position of the material taking port 17.

[0025] It should be noted that when the silo 6 needs to be replenished with laundry balls, the silo 6 can be replenished by opening the box door 12 and the box cover 13 in sequence. Replenishment is convenient and the laundry balls can be poured in from top to bottom. Past inventory and new replenishment do not interfere with each other.

[0026] The working principle of the utility model: when in use, the first crawler conveyor 2 works to convey the laundry beads at the bottom of the silo 6, and each grid of the crawler conveyor takes out a plurality of laundry balls into the first slideway 7, completing the task of the first-level material separation station;

[0027] The second crawler conveyor 4 works to convey the laundry balls dropped from the first slide 7. When multiple laundry balls overlap, the blocking rods 10 will block the upper laundry balls and let them roll down. The laundry balls in the grid are still dragged forward by the crawler belt. After being blocked by multiple groups of blocking rods 10, only a single laundry ball is left in the grid, completing the task of secondary material separation.

[0028] The washing balls after the secondary material separation are arranged individually. When the washing balls pass through the second slide 8, the counting sensing device is triggered, and the sensing device feeds back information to the controller 14. The controller 14 issues an instruction to the third crawler conveyor 3 to move forward one grid, and the falling washing balls fall into the crawler grid of the third crawler conveyor 3. When the controller 14 receives the counting information again, it will repeat the above action until the grid of the entire crawler is full of washing balls, and then an alarm is sounded, and the whole machine is in a standby state for sale;

[0029] When the control center receives the information about the sale, it will issue a feeding instruction to the third crawler conveyor 3, and the crawler will move forward until the laundry ball in the front grid falls into the blanking frame 5. After the blanking frame 5 detects the information about the goods to be sold, it will feed the information back to the controller 14. The controller 14 also issues a stop movement instruction to the third crawler conveyor 3, and the three-level material distribution mechanism enters the material preparation state.

[0030] When it is necessary to add the laundry balls to the silo 6, the door 12 and the cover 13 are opened in sequence to add the laundry balls to the silo 6, the laundry balls are poured in from top to bottom, and the materials are then spread out, the door 12 and the cover 13 are closed, the machine is reset, and enters the material preparation state, and after the material preparation, it enters the standby state for sale.
