Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automatic vending equipment, in particular to a meal taking mechanism. Background Art

[0002] At present, most vending machines on the market use the method of directly outputting goods from shelves. Generally, motors and synchronous belts are installed on the cargo aisles of each shelf to drive the synchronous belts through the motors to deliver the goods. This delivery method is only suitable for some small commodities. However, some special commodities (such as boxed lunches) require a platform delivery method. For details, please refer to a fresh food vending device with patent publication number CN218918181U. The shelf is only provided with a transmission module that can push out goods but does not have a motor. When in use, the pickup platform moves to the corresponding shelf, and then the gear module provided on one side of the pickup platform drives the transmission module of the shelf to operate, so that the goods (food) on the shelf can fall onto the pickup platform, thereby reducing the number of motors and reducing the preparation cost of the vending machine.

[0003] However, the above-mentioned pickup platform has problems in actual use. When picking up goods through gear drive, the platform does not have a docking structure, which leads to jamming or even tipping during the pickup connection process. In addition, the gear module cannot push the goods to a safe position on the pickup platform, causing part of the goods to protrude from the pickup platform. When the pickup platform moves to the delivery port, the goods may affect other goods on the shelf, which may cause adverse effects. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a pickup mechanism with a docking structure. Summary of the invention

[0004] The utility model provides a meal taking mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the above background technology.

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is achieved by the following methods:

[0006] A meal picking mechanism includes a goods transfer platform formed by a conveyor belt and a shelf drive assembly arranged on one side of the goods transfer platform, the shelf drive assembly includes a first motor, a gear set fixedly mounted on the first motor, and a telescopic structure for driving the first motor to translate outward, and a delivery lever that can move left and right is arranged above the goods transfer platform.

[0007] Furthermore, a protective fence is provided at one end of the cargo transfer platform.

[0008] Furthermore, a screw motor is installed below the cargo transfer platform, and the delivery lever is connected to the screw motor via an L-shaped bracket.

[0009] Furthermore, the gear set includes a driving gear and a driven gear, the driving gear is mounted on the first motor, the driven gear is rotatably mounted on one side of the first motor through a fixed bracket, and the driving gear is meshed with the driven gear.

[0010] Furthermore, the telescopic structure includes a guide rail and a driver for driving the first motor to translate along the guide rail, and the first motor is installed on the guide rail through a slider.

[0011] Furthermore, the driver is composed of a telescopic cylinder or a telescopic motor.

[0012] The transfer platform of the utility model is composed of a conveyor belt, so that in the process of delivering goods from the shelf, the transfer platform can actively receive the goods from the shelf, avoiding the situation of jamming or even tipping during the process of picking up goods. At the same time, the setting of the conveyor belt can facilitate the transfer of goods to a safe position on the transfer platform, avoiding the goods protruding from the transfer platform and affecting other goods on the shelf.
