[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automatic vending machines, in particular to a goods channel structure of an automatic vending machine with a buffer device. Background Art

[0002] Vending machines are machines that can automatically sell goods. They are a new form of commercial retail and a product of the transformation of labor-intensive industrial structures to technology-intensive societies. They can meet the purchasing needs of most people. Vending machines can replace manual sales of goods. When consumers use them, they can purchase goods through a variety of payment methods such as coins, banknotes, credit cards, stored-value cards, and mobile payments, which is very convenient. Vending machines can fully supplement the lack of human resources, adapt to various consumption environments, provide services to consumers 24 hours a day, and can greatly reduce labor costs. The aisle of a vending machine refers to the spatial channel used to store and display goods. The aisle is usually composed of horizontally arranged aisle boards, and each aisle board has multiple grids for placing different types of goods.

[0003] At present, some vending machines that sell bottled beverages use the inclined surface of the aisle to deliver goods. When delivering, the goods at the front end roll out after the baffle is released, and the goods following it roll down to fill the position. Since beverages have a certain weight, they will have impact force on the baffle when rolling, which can easily cause damage to the baffle, so improvement is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work based on the embodiments of the utility model shall fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides an embodiment: a vending machine aisle structure with a buffer device, comprising:

[0023] A cargo channel body 1, a bottom surface of the interior of the cargo channel body 1 is provided with a slope 5, one end of the slope 5 is provided with a groove 2, and one end of the cargo channel body 1 is provided with a delivery port 4;

[0024] The buffer mechanism 3 is arranged inside the groove 2. The buffer mechanism 3 includes an arc-shaped buffer frame 301, an arc-shaped buffer plate 302, and a torsion spring 303. The arc-shaped buffer frame 301 is arranged inside the groove 2. One end of the arc-shaped buffer frame 301 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cargo channel body 1. The arc-shaped buffer plate 302 is arranged inside the arc-shaped buffer frame 301. The torsion spring 303 is sleeved on both ends of the arc-shaped buffer plate 302. One end of the torsion spring 303 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped buffer frame 301, and the other end of the torsion spring 303 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped buffer plate 302.

[0025] Guide plates 9 are provided on both sides of the cargo channel body 1 to guide the commodities;

[0026] Threaded holes 10 are provided on both side walls of the cargo channel body 1 to facilitate installation of adjustment bolts 11;

[0027] A storage groove 6 is provided at the bottom of the slope 5 on one side of the groove 2, and a telescopic driving member 7 is installed inside the storage groove 6, and a gear lever 8 is fixed to the output end of the telescopic driving member 7, which is convenient for positioning the goods and reduces the squeezing force of the rear goods on the front goods;

[0028] The buffer mechanism 3 further includes a rotating driving member 304, which is installed on one side of the groove 2. The output end of the rotating driving member 304 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped buffer frame 301, so as to drive the arc-shaped buffer frame 301 to rotate so as to release the front-end commodity.

[0029] When selling goods, the control element inside the vending machine controls the rotating driving member 304 to work, and the rotating driving member 304 drives the arc-shaped buffer frame 301 to rotate and retract into the groove 2 to release the goods. Under the action of the slope 5, the goods roll out through the delivery port 4. Then, the rotating driving member 304 drives the arc-shaped buffer frame 301 to rotate in the opposite direction to the original position. When the goods at the rear collide with the arc-shaped buffer plate 302, the arc-shaped buffer plate 302 rotates around the arc-shaped buffer frame 301 and twists the torsion spring 303 to buffer the impact force.

[0030] An adjusting bolt 11 is passed through the threaded hole 10, and the adjusting bolt 11 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 10. One end of the adjusting bolt 11 extends to the interior of the cargo channel body 1 and is movably connected to the outer wall of the guide plate 9, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the spacing of the guide plates 9 and meet the limiting requirements of goods of different lengths.

[0031] When the embodiment of the present application is in use: first, bottled beverages are arranged inside the aisle body 1. When selling goods, the control element inside the vending machine controls the rotation drive member 304 to work, and the rotation drive member 304 drives the arc-shaped buffer frame 301 to rotate and retract it into the groove 2 to release the goods. At this time, the goods roll out through the delivery port 4 under the action of the slope 5. Then, the rotation drive member 304 drives the arc-shaped buffer frame 301 to rotate in the opposite direction to the original position. Then, the control element controls the telescopic drive member 7 to retract, so that the gear lever 8 is retracted into the storage groove 6, so that the goods following it roll to the empty position to complete the filling. Working, after filling the position, the telescopic drive part 7 drives the gear rod 8 to extend. This design realizes the positioning function of the goods, can position the goods at the back, and reduces the squeezing force of the goods at the front on the goods at the back. When the goods collide with the arc buffer plate 302, the arc buffer plate 302 rotates around the arc buffer frame 301 and twists the torsion spring 303 to buffer the impact force. This design optimizes the internal structure of the cargo channel and realizes the buffering function, thereby reducing the damage to the baffle caused by the rolling of the goods. Secondly, the setting of the guide plate 9 can guide the goods, and the spacing of the guide plate 9 can be adjusted by rotatable adjusting bolts 11 to meet the limiting requirements of goods of different lengths.
