Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of vending machines, and in particular relates to a delivery buffer device for a vending machine. Background Art

[0002] The prior art vending machine, also known as an automatic vending machine, is a mechatronic automated device that can automatically sell various commodities, such as beverages, snacks, tobacco, newspapers and magazines, etc., without a human salesperson.

[0003] A Chinese patent with announcement number CN216901819U discloses a delivery buffer device for a vending machine, wherein a horizontal shaft is rotatably installed in the delivery cavity, a buffer plate is fixedly installed on the horizontal shaft, and the buffer plate is located above the lower end of the guide plate. Both ends of the horizontal shaft are sleeved with coil springs, and the two ends of the coil spring are respectively fixedly connected to the horizontal shaft and the inner side of the delivery cavity.

[0004] The above technical solution uses the buffer plate to contact the rolling goods and reduce their speed, the coil spring is deformed, and the goods pass through the buffer plate, thereby reducing the impact force of the discharge. However, in actual use, since the impact force of the material flowing from top to bottom each time is related to its rolling posture and its own weight, if the impact force itself is small during shipment, and the coil spring has certain limitations that cannot be changed, only some products with their own weight can be sold. If lighter products are sold, the impact force may not be able to push open the coil spring, resulting in jamming of the object, so that the buffer plate is very likely to cause blockage of the goods, causing inconvenience to the user.

[0005] In view of this, the present utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content
