[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a protective structure for the outer shell of a vending machine is provided, an air freshener 3 is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the vending machine body 1, slide bars 5 are provided on both sides of the surface of the air freshener 3, a plurality of placement racks 8 are provided inside the vending machine body 1, a matching fixing plate 9 is provided on the top of the placement rack 8, fixing blocks 6 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the vending machine body 1, balls 7 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the fixing block 6, both ends of the placement rack 8 are provided on the outer wall of the ball 7, a ventilation box 12 is inserted at the top of the vending machine body 1, and a filter screen 13 is provided at the top of the inner cavity of the ventilation box 12.

[0033] A water stop plate 14 is provided below the filter screen 13 , and an insect-proof net 15 is provided below the water stop plate 14 .

[0034] In this embodiment, the air freshener is located at the bottom of the inner wall of the vending machine body. Its function is to improve the air quality inside the vending machine by releasing freshener or filtering air. The air freshener can improve the air quality by adsorbing, decomposing or retaining harmful gases, odors, etc., thereby providing a better user experience. The sliding rod is located on both sides of the surface of the air freshener. Its function is to enable the air freshener to slide smoothly on the inside of the vending machine body. The design of the sliding rod must take into account friction and stability to ensure that the air freshener can work normally and remain in a fixed position when in use.

[0035] The placement racks are distributed inside the vending machine body and have matching fixed plates. Their function is to provide a support structure for placing goods and ensure that the goods will not slide or tilt. The design of the fixed plates can be adjusted according to the placed goods to provide the best support effect and space utilization. The fixed blocks are located on both sides of the inner wall of the vending machine body, and the ball bearings are distributed on the upper and lower sides of the fixed blocks. Their function is to realize the sliding and fixing of the placement racks and ensure that the placement racks can move smoothly and easily during use. The design of the ball bearings must take into account friction and stability to ensure the flexibility and reliability of the placement racks.

[0036] The ventilation box is inserted at the top of the vending machine body, and the filter is located at the top of the inner cavity of the ventilation box. Their function is to provide ventilation and air circulation inside the vending machine. The ventilation box and the filter can promote air flow and filter out harmful substances such as dust and bacteria, thereby keeping the air inside the vending machine clean and fresh. The water stop plate is located below the filter, and the insect net is located below the water stop plate. Their function is to prevent moisture and insects from entering the vending machine. The water stop plate blocks or stores liquids such as rainwater to prevent them from penetrating into the vending machine. The insect net effectively prevents insects from entering the vending machine through fine mesh holes, thereby ensuring the hygiene and safety of goods and users.

[0037] The surface of the fixing plate 9 is provided with a plurality of identical placement grooves 10 , and grooves 4 are provided on both sides of the surface of the air freshener 3 , and the two slide bars 5 slide inside the grooves 4 .

[0038] A door 16 is provided on the surface of the vending machine body 1. A visual window 17 is provided on the surface of the door 16. A label 20 is provided above the visual window 17. A handle 19 is welded below the visual window 17. The outer wall of the handle 19 is provided with anti-slip patterns.

[0039] Support columns 2 are provided at the four corners of the bottom surface of the vending machine body 1, and protective pads are provided at the bottoms of the four support columns 2, and protective patterns are provided at the bottoms of the protective pads.

[0040] In this embodiment, the surface of the fixed plate is provided with a plurality of identical placement grooves for placing goods. The function of the placement grooves is to provide a stable support platform so that the goods can be safely placed inside the vending machine. Through the adaptive design, the placement grooves can ensure that the goods will not slide or tilt, thereby protecting the integrity of the goods. Grooves are provided on both sides of the surface of the air freshener, and the slide bar slides inside the grooves. The design of the grooves and the slide bar utilizes the principles of friction and stability, so that the air freshener can slide smoothly on the vending machine body. Through the cooperation of the grooves and the slide bar, the position of the air freshener can be easily adjusted, and it can be maintained and replaced.

[0041] The vending machine body is provided with a door, a visual window, and a label above the visual window. The visual window is designed based on optical principles, allowing users to observe the goods inside the vending machine through the window. The label provides necessary guidance such as product information and price. The opening and closing of the door is based on mechanical principles, and convenient opening and closing operations are achieved through reasonable hinge design.

[0042] A handle is welded below the viewing window, and the outer wall of the handle is provided with anti-skid patterns. The design of the handle takes into account the ergonomic principles, allowing users to open and close the door conveniently. The anti-skid pattern design increases the user's grip on the handle, ensuring safety when using it in wet or slippery environments.

[0043] There are support columns at the four corners of the bottom of the vending machine body, and protective pads are provided at the bottom of the support columns. The function of the support columns is to support the weight of the vending machine and maintain its stability. The protective pads play a role in buffering and shock absorption, preventing the vending machine from directly contacting the ground, thereby reducing vibration and noise.

[0044] A control panel 18 is disposed on the surface of the cabinet door 16 , and a lighting lamp 11 is disposed on the top of the inner wall of the vending machine body 1 . The air freshener 3 and the lighting lamp 11 are electrically controlled and connected to the control panel 18 via wires.

[0045] The air freshener 3 and lighting lamp 11 used in this device are both mature existing technologies.

[0046] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0047] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0048] The above description of the utility model and its implementation methods is not restrictive. The drawings show only one implementation method of the utility model, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if ordinary technicians in this field are inspired by it and design structural methods and embodiments similar to the technical solution without creativity without departing from the purpose of the invention of the utility model, they should all fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
