DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] See also Figures 1 to 4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a boxed commodity vending device, comprising: a storage slot 1, an elastic component 2, a release component 3, a flip component 4, an adjustment component 5 and goods 6. A goods placement slot is provided in the storage slot 1, and the elastic component 2 can be movably connected to the storage slot 1 in a straight line direction, so as to push the goods 6 and keep them in the exit direction of the storage slot 1; the release component 3 is movably arranged on the exit end of the storage slot 1; and is used to release the goods 6 entering the release component 3; the flip component 4 is connected between the storage slot 1 and the release component 3, and is used to drive the release component 3 to release the goods 6 in a rotational manner; the adjustment component 5 is arranged on the side walls of the adjacent ends of the storage slot 1 and the release component 3, and is used to adjust the distance between the storage slot 1 and the release component 3 according to the thickness of the goods 6.

[0023] The vending device provided by the present application is suitable for boxed products. Specifically, the main function of the storage slot 1 is to store the boxed goods to be sold. When the goods are placed in the storage slot 1, the elastic component 2 gently pushes the goods through the push plate 21 to ensure that the goods 6 are evenly arranged and move toward the exit. The goods can be pushed to the exit continuously and orderly, which improves the efficiency and reliability of automatic distribution. When the goods need to be released, the release rotation is driven by the rotating component, so that the goods 6 in the release component 3 fall down, completing the purchase process.

[0024] In some examples, further, the release component 3 includes: a flip seat 31, an adjusting base plate 32 and an adjusting piece 33. The flip seat 31 is rotatably connected to the flip assembly 4, and a groove for the goods 6 to enter is provided in the end of the flip seat 31 facing the elastic component 2; the adjusting base plate 32 is fixedly arranged at the bottom end of the flip seat 31, and a movable gap is provided between the adjusting base plate 32 and the flip seat 31; the adjusting piece 33 can move linearly in the movable gap, the adjusting piece 33 can be locked by a screw, and the adjusting piece 33 is used to adjust the distance between the release component 3 and the storage slot 1.

[0025] In this example, the release component 3 is located at the exit end of the storage slot 1, and is mainly responsible for releasing the goods when they arrive at the exit. There is always a product in the release component 3, and through certain mechanical actions, such as pushing or rotating, the goods are smoothly released from the storage slot 1, thereby completing the sales process. The telescopic adjustment of the adjustment plate 33 enables the release component 3 to carry goods 6 of different sizes for flipping. After flipping, the adjustment plate 33 will also abut against the outer wall of the next product to prevent subsequent products from falling out.

[0026] In some examples, further, the flip assembly 4 includes: a motor base 41, a drive motor 42 and a connecting base 43, the motor base 41 is fixedly disposed at the bottom end of the storage slot 1 and is located at one end close to the flip plate, and the drive motor 42 is also installed on the motor base 41; the connecting base 43 is fixedly disposed at the bottom end of the adjustment base plate 32, and the connecting base 43 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 42.

[0027] In this example, the flipping component 4 is located between the storage slot 1 and the release component 3. Its main function is to drive the release component 3 to rotate. The rotation action helps to release the goods in a controlled and smooth manner, which is especially suitable for irregularly shaped or boxed goods, and can reduce the risk of damage to the goods during the release process.

[0028] In some examples, further, the elastic component 2 includes: a push plate 21, a clockwork spring 22 and a spring seat 23. The push plate 21 can be moved in a straight line direction and is clamped in one end of the storage slot 1 away from the release component 3. The spring seat 23 is also arranged on the push plate; one end of the clockwork spring 22 is connected to the motor seat 41, and the other end of the clockwork spring 22 is connected to the spring seat 23. Under the action of elasticity, the push plate 21 has a tendency to move toward the direction of the release component 3. The elastic component 2 includes a push plate 21 that moves in a straight line, and the clockwork spring 22 is connected. When the goods are placed in the storage slot 1, the elastic component 2 gently pushes the goods to move toward the release end through the push plate 21.

[0029] In some examples, further, the adjustment component 5 includes: a fixed seat 51, a stopper 52 and a locking bolt 53, each two fixed seats 51 are a group and are respectively fixedly mounted on the upper ends of the two side walls of the storage slot 1, and the fixed seat 51 is arranged close to one side of the release component 3; the stopper 52 can be moved along the length direction of the storage slot 1 and is clamped in the fixed seat 51, one end of the stopper 52 extends to the outside of the fixed seat 51, and is located in the lateral gap between the storage slot 1 and the release component 3, and a locking bolt 53 is provided in the middle of the stopper 52.

[0030] In this example, the adjustment component 5 is mainly used to adjust the distance between the storage slot 1 and the release component 3 according to the thickness of the product. The adjustment component 5 generally includes a movable stopper 52 and a locking bolt 53, so that the user or maintenance personnel can manually adjust the distance according to the different sizes of products. The adjustment capability enables the vending machine to adapt to various sizes of products, thereby improving adaptability.

[0031] In some examples, further, limit strips 7 are provided on the bottom inner wall and the side inner wall of the storage slot 1, and the push plate 21 is movably engaged in the plurality of limit strips 7 to ensure that the push force of the push plate 21 on the cargo is stable and reliable.
