The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0045] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that descriptions involving orientation, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0046] In the description of the utility model, if there is a description of first and second, it is only for the purpose of distinguishing the technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0047] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0048] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, according to the discharging mechanism of the first embodiment of the utility model, the object is pushed out of the mounting seat 110 through the driving assembly 130. The object can be a commemorative coin or a commemorative card, etc. The discharging mechanism includes: a mounting seat 110, a connecting frame 120 and a driving assembly 130.

[0049] Reference Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments of the utility model, the discharging mechanism includes a mounting seat 110, having a temporary placement position 111, a push outlet 112 is provided on one side of the temporary placement position 111, and a push inlet 113 is provided on the other side of the temporary placement position 111, a connecting frame 120 is connected to the mounting seat 110, and the connecting frame 120 is provided with a channel 121 for stacking objects, and the lower end of the channel 121 is connected to the temporary placement position 111, and the driving assembly 130 includes a driving member 131 connected to the mounting seat 110, and the driving member 131 is connected to a push member 132 that can reciprocate relative to the mounting seat 110 following its movement, and when the driving member 131 is active, the push member 132 can enter the temporary placement position 111 from the push inlet 113 and push the object out from the push outlet 112.

[0050] It is conceivable that the driving assembly 130 can be a cylinder, a linear motor, a gear rack, etc.

[0051] When the above structure is adopted, when the driving member 131 is started, the driving member 131 drives the pushing member 132 to move, and the pushing member 132 is driven to enter from the pushing entrance 113 and gradually push the object located at the temporary placement position 111, so that the object is pushed out of the pushing outlet 112 to the outside of the mounting seat 110, and the driving member 131 continues to drive the pushing member 132 to move so that the pushing member 132 moves to reset and leaves the temporary placement position 111, and the object moves downward along the channel 121 under the action of its own weight, and the object located at the bottom is placed at the temporary placement position 111, waiting for the next pushing of the pushing member 132. When the discharging mechanism of the utility model is used, it can accurately push the object in a direction, so that the pushing is more accurate, and at the same time, the pushing member 132 directly pushes the object, which reduces the complex transmission mechanism, improves the reliability of pushing, and has higher efficiency, and at the same time makes the overall structure more streamlined and reduces the overall volume. When the pushing member 132 pushes out the article, the article in the channel 121 is above the pushing member 132. When the pushing member 132 leaves the temporary placement position 111, the pushing member 132 makes way for the article, so that the article falls into the temporary placement position 111. This arrangement can prevent the pushing member 132 from pushing multiple articles at a time, which is more accurate.

[0052] By providing the channel 121 on the connecting frame 120, items can be stacked, thereby effectively utilizing the space inside the vending machine.

[0053] The push member 132 and the driving member 131 designed in this way can push out the items quickly and continuously, thereby improving the delivery efficiency of the vending machine.

[0054] In some embodiments, the driving assembly 130 may be a cylinder or a gear rack, etc.

[0055] Reference Figure 6In some embodiments of the utility model, the output shaft of the driving member 131 is connected to a rotating member 133 that can rotate with it, the rotating member 133 is provided with a connecting portion 1331 that is arranged away from the rotating axis A of the rotating member 133, the pushing member 132 is provided with a movable groove 1321 in which the connecting portion 1331 can move, the mounting seat 110 is provided with a guide groove 114 that can guide the pushing member 132 to slide, and the pushing entrance 113 is connected with the guide groove 114. When the rotating member 133 rotates around the first axis A following the axis of the driving member 131, the rotating member 133 drives the connecting portion 1331 to rotate with it, the connecting portion 1331 slides in the movable groove 1321, and the connecting portion 1331 moves along a predetermined motion trajectory and pushes the groove wall of the movable groove 1321, so that the pushing member 132 slides along the guide groove 114 and pushes the object at the temporary placement position 111, and pushes the object out from the pushing outlet 112.

[0056] It is conceivable that the connection portion 1331 is a protrusion disposed on the circumference of the rotating member 133 .

[0057] Specifically, the connecting portion 1331 is a connecting column, which is protruding to facilitate workers to assemble the pushing member 132.

[0058] Specifically, the connecting portion 1331 and the rotating member 133 are an integrally formed structure, which is convenient for workers to process and also convenient for installing and positioning the pushing member 132 .

[0059] It is conceivable that the connection portion 1331 is snap-connected or threadedly connected to the rotating member 133 .

[0060] Reference Figure 6 Specifically, the push member 132 is T-shaped for easy connection, and has enough space to set the movable groove 1321 so that the connecting part 1331 can move along a preset motion trajectory.

[0061] Reference Figure 6 Specifically, the movable groove 1321 is a strip groove or a straight groove, and the connecting portion 1331 pushes the groove wall of the movable groove 1321, so that the pushing member 132 can move more smoothly.

[0062] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, specifically, the connecting frame 120 includes a frame body 122 provided with a channel 121, and an opening 1221 is provided on one side of the frame body 122. The opening 1221 is provided to facilitate observation of items in the channel 121.

[0063] It is conceivable that the connection frame 120 is made of a transparent material or a glass or a transparent acrylic plate is provided on the front side of the connection frame 120 .

[0064] Reference Figure 4and Figure 7 As shown, specifically, a receiving groove 1222 is provided on one side of the frame 122 corresponding to the opening 1221, and the length of the receiving groove 1222 is less than the length of the channel 121. A connecting ear 1223 protruding outward is provided on one side of the frame 122 close to the receiving groove 1222. This arrangement facilitates the frame 122 to be connected to the mounting seat 110 through a screw and nut assembly. Since the length of the receiving groove 1222 is less than the length of the channel 121, the length of the connecting ear 1223 can be reduced, thereby reducing the length of the entire frame 122, making the structure of the discharging mechanism of the embodiment of the utility model more compact.

[0065] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, specifically, the connecting frame 120 is an integral structure formed in one piece, which is convenient for workers to process and assemble.

[0066] Reference Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a lifting device 140 is disposed between the connecting frame 120 and the mounting seat 110, which can lift the connecting frame 120 to change the size of the push outlet 112. The lifting device 140 can change the size of the push outlet 112, adapt to objects of different sizes, and has a wider range of uses.

[0067] It is conceivable that the lifting device 140 uses devices such as electric push rods and cylinders.

[0068] Reference Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, specifically, the lifting device 140 includes a motor 141 disposed on the mounting seat 110, the output shaft of the motor 141 is connected to a screw rod 142 extending along the height direction of the connecting frame 120, and the lifting device 140 also includes a nut assembly 143 connected to the connecting frame 120, and the nut assembly 143 is sleeved on the screw rod 142 and can slide up and down along the screw rod 142. When the motor 141 is started, the motor 141 drives the screw rod 142 to rotate, and when the screw rod 142 rotates, the nut assembly 143 slides up and down relative to it. The nut assembly 143 is connected to the connecting frame 120 by screws or a clamping method, so when the nut assembly 143 moves, the connecting frame 120 is driven to follow the nut assembly 143 to move relative to the screw rod 142, thereby changing the size of the push outlet 112, adapting to objects of different sizes, and having a wider range of uses.

[0069] Reference Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a clamping assembly 144 is further disposed between the nut assembly 143 and the screw rod 142. The clamping assembly 144 can prevent the connecting frame 120 from shaking, and at the same time, the connection between the nut assembly 143 and the screw rod 142 is more stable and safer.

[0070] It is conceivable that the clamping component 144 is a clamping ring.

[0071] Reference Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the clamping assembly 144 includes a clamping member 1441 which is arranged in the nut assembly 143 and sleeved on the outside of the screw rod 142. The nut assembly 143 is also provided with a clamping member 1442 which can generate elastic deformation and clamp the clamping member 1441. The clamping member 1442 is provided with a clamping opening 14421 for allowing the clamping member 1441 to move. When the present structure is adopted, when the screw 142 rotates, the clamping member 1442 is pushed by the screw 142 so that the clamping opening 14421 expands outward, and the nut assembly 143 can move along the screw 142. When the screw 142 is stationary, the clamping member 1442 returns to its original position and contracts due to its metal properties, thereby clamping the clamping member 1441, and then the clamping member 1441 clamps the screw 142, preventing the connecting frame 120 from shaking, and at the same time making the connection between the nut assembly 143 and the screw 142 more stable and safer.

[0072] Reference Fig.11 As shown, specifically, the holding member 1441 includes a plurality of arc plates 14411, and a spacing groove 14412 is formed between adjacent arc plates 14411. The provision of the spacing groove 14412 prevents the plurality of arc plates 14411 from being closely fitted together, thereby affecting the rotation of the screw rod 142.

[0073] Reference Fig.11 As shown, specifically, the clamping member 1441 includes two arc-shaped plates 14411 .

[0074] Reference Fig.11 As shown, specifically, the clamping member 1442 is an integral structure formed in one piece, which is convenient for workers to process and assemble.

[0075] Reference Fig.10 and Fig.11As shown, the commemorative coin vending machine according to the second embodiment of the utility model includes the discharging mechanism 100 of the first embodiment. When the above structure is adopted, when the driving member 131 is started, the driving member 131 drives the pushing member 132 to move, and the pushing member 132 is driven to enter from the pushing entrance 113 and gradually push the items located at the temporary placement position 111, so that the items are pushed out from the pushing exit 112 to the delivery port of the commemorative coin vending machine, and the driving member 131 continues to drive the pushing member 132 to move so that the pushing member 132 moves to reset and leaves the temporary placement position 111, and the items move downward along the channel 121 under the action of their own weight, and the items located at the bottom are placed at the temporary placement position 111, waiting for the next pushing of the pushing member 132, and the discharging mechanism of the utility model can accurately push the items in a directional manner when used, so that the pushing is more accurate, and the pushing member 132 directly pushes the items, which reduces the complex transmission mechanism, improves the reliability of pushing, and is more efficient, and at the same time makes the overall structure more streamlined and reduces the volume. When the pushing member 132 pushes out the article, the article in the channel 121 is above the pushing member 132. When the pushing member 132 leaves the temporary placement position 111, the pushing member 132 makes way for the article, so that the article falls into the temporary placement position 111. This arrangement can prevent the pushing member 132 from pushing multiple articles at a time, which is more accurate.
