When the user purchases the goods, if the detection mechanism 3 detects that the conveying component 22 drives the baffle 23 to move the goods to the delivery port 12, the goods are successfully shipped. If the detection mechanism 3 does not detect that the conveying component 22 drives the baffle 23 to move the goods to the delivery port 12, the delivery mechanism 2 continues to operate and smoothly pushes the goods to the delivery port 12, which can improve the sales efficiency and convenience. Thus, the technical effect of improving efficiency, improving convenience, and being able to adapt to the sale of goods of various sizes is achieved.

[0033] As an embodiment, the cargo box 1 includes a left side panel 13, a right side panel 14, a front side panel 15 and a back side panel 16. The left side panel 13, the right side panel 14, the front side panel 15, the back side panel 16 and the support seat 21 together enclose a loading space 11, and the loading space 11 provides sufficient space for the storage of goods. The delivery port 12 is arranged on the front side panel 15 to facilitate the launch of goods. After a complete loading space 11 is formed by the left side panel 13, the right side panel 14, the front side panel 15, the back side panel 16 and the support seat 21 of the cargo box 1, the goods can be stacked. The delivery port 12 is arranged on the front side panel 15, which can make the goods directly face the user and improve the convenience of sales.

[0034] In some embodiments, the cargo box 1 also includes an adjusting piece 17 and a stop bar 18. The adjusting piece 17 is connected to the left side panel 13 and the right side panel 14 respectively. The distance between the left side panel 13 and the right side panel 14 can be easily adjusted through the adjusting piece 17, such as the two ends of the adjusting piece 17 are threadedly connected to the left side panel 13 and the right side panel 14 respectively. At the same time, the stop bar 18 is detachably connected to the left side panel 13. For example, a plurality of card slots or plug holes are provided on the left side panel 13, and the plurality of card slots are spaced along the moving direction of the baffle 23. By installing the stop bar 18 on the corresponding card slot, the distance between the stop bar 18 and the front side panel 15 can be adjusted. At this time, the stop bar 18, the front side panel 15, the left side panel 13 and the right side panel 14 will limit the four sides of the goods, so that the cargo box 1 can adapt to goods of different sizes, improve flexibility, and meet diverse sales needs.

[0035] As an embodiment, the cargo box 1 may further include a replenishment door panel 191 and a replenishment port 19. The replenishment door panel 191 is hinged to the front side panel 15 and can be easily opened and closed.

At the same time, the projection of the replenishment door panel 191 on the replenishment port 19 along the moving direction of the baffle 23 is located at the replenishment port 19, so that the replenishment door panel 191 can cover the replenishment port 19 after closing to prevent the goods from being moved out of the replenishment port 19. The moving direction of the baffle 23 is as follows: Figure 1 The middle front side plate 15 is close to the horizontal direction of the back side plate 16. Through the replenishment door plate 191 and the replenishment port 19, the salesperson can conveniently perform the replenishment operation without disassembling the entire cargo box 1, which can improve the efficiency of replenishment and reduce the difficulty of operation.

[0036] In some embodiments, the conveying component 22 includes a driving component 24 and a conveying component 25, wherein the driving component 24 is connected to the support seat 21, and the conveying component 25 is connected to the driving component 24, and the driving component 24 provides power for the conveying component 25. The conveying component 25 is detachably connected to the baffle 23, and the conveying component 25 can drive the baffle 23 to move in a direction close to or away from the delivery port 12 through the driving of the driving component 24. Through the coordinated work of the driving component 24 and the conveying component 25, the conveying component 22 can accurately push the baffle 23 to move and realize the pushing out of the goods. Since the conveying component 25 is detachably connected to the baffle 23, baffles 23 of different sizes can be replaced according to the needs of the goods to adapt to goods of different sizes, thereby improving the efficiency of sales and enhancing the flexibility of the device.

[0037] In some embodiments, the conveying assembly 25 includes two rollers 221 installed at intervals on the support base 21, and a track 222 arranged around the two rollers 221. The driving component may include a driving motor module, such as a motor or a cylinder. The driving component is connected to the roller 221, and drives the track 222 to move by driving the roller 221 to rotate. The baffle 23 is connected to the track 222, and the baffle 23 moves with the movement of the track 222. The baffle 23 can be smoothly pushed to move by the roller 221 and the track 222, so that the goods can be smoothly pushed out.

[0038] As an implementation mode, the baffle 23 includes a first block 231 and a second block 232, wherein the first block 231 is fixedly connected to the crawler 222, so that the baffle 23 can move stably under the drive of the crawler 222. The second block 232 is connected to the first block 231 by a snap-fit ​​connection, so that the second block 232 can be easily replaced to adapt to goods of different sizes. In actual operation, when it is necessary to sell goods of different sizes, only the second block 232 can be replaced without replacing the entire baffle 23, which can reduce maintenance costs and time. At the same time, due to the snap-fit ​​connection between the second block 232 and the first block 231, it can be ensured that the baffle 23 will not fall off or shift during the product push-out process, thereby ensuring the smooth sale.

[0039] As an implementation, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the detection component 32 includes an in-place detection switch 321, a detection plate 322, a feedback member 323 and a connecting rod 324. The in-place detection switch 321 is arranged on the base 31, and the in-place detection switch 321 is used to detect whether there are goods at the delivery port 12. The detection plate 322 is rotatably connected to the base 31, and the projection of the detection plate 322 on the delivery port 12 along the moving direction of the baffle 23 is located at the delivery port 12, so that the detection plate 322 can rotate with the movement of the goods. The feedback member 323 is slidably connected to the base 31, and the feedback member 323 is connected to the in-place detection switch 321. The connecting rod 324 is rotatably connected to the feedback member 323 and the detection plate 322 respectively. When the detection plate 322 rotates, the feedback member 323 is driven to slide through the connecting rod 324, thereby triggering or releasing the in-place detection switch 321, so that the detection component 32 can accurately and timely detect whether there are goods at the delivery port 12, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of sales.

[0040] As an embodiment, the feedback member 323 includes a slider 3231 and a paddle 3232. The slider 3231 is slidably connected to the base 31. For example, a raised block with a slide groove is provided on the base 31, and the slider 3231 is slidably arranged in the slide groove. The paddle 3232 is connected to the slider 3231, and the paddle 3232 is connected to the in-situ detection switch 321. When the detection plate 322 rotates, the slider 3231 is driven to slide through the connecting rod 324, thereby driving the paddle 3232 to move, and the paddle 3232 will trigger or release the in-situ detection switch 321. This makes the action of the feedback member 323 more direct and accurate, and improves the response speed and accuracy of the detection component 32. At the same time, the connection structure of the slider 3231 and the paddle 3232 is simple and reliable, which can reduce the failure rate of the device.

[0041] As an implementation mode, the detection component 32 further includes a rotating shaft 325 and a torsion spring 326. The rotating shaft 325 penetrates the detection plate 322 and is rotatably connected to the base 31. The torsion spring 326 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 325, so that the detection plate 322 can maintain a certain initial state when not subjected to external force, can rotate smoothly when the goods pass through, and can automatically reset after the goods pass through. The torsion spring 326 will not only increase the reset speed of the detection plate 322, but also enhance the stability of the rotation of the detection plate 322, so that the detection component 32 can more accurately detect the state of the goods at the delivery port 12, which is conducive to improving the accuracy of sales.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific implementation methods are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to examples, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
