[0030] The utility model provides a rotation-prevention spring deviation mechanism.

[0031] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment of the utility model, the anti-rotation spring deviation mechanism includes:

[0032] A box body 10, wherein a limiting groove 20 is provided on a side of the box body 10;

[0033] A guide portion 40, wherein the guide portion 40 is disposed on the surface of the box body 10;

[0034] The guiding portion 40 is arranged to be inclined.

[0035] It can be understood that the box body 10 is used to carry the guide part 40. When the box body 10 is installed in the vending machine, the guide part 40 is inclined and abuts against the inner wall of the vending machine. Therefore, when storing goods, the goods can be guided by the guide part 40 when falling, so as to avoid the goods being restricted by the box body 10 and unable to move.

[0036] It should be noted that the elastic member 70 is disposed in the limiting groove 20 , and the movement of the elastic member 70 is restricted by the limiting groove 20 on the box body 10 .

[0037] The technical solution of the utility model is to set the box body 10, install the box body 10 in the vending machine, and limit the elastic member in the vending machine for pushing the product to move in the limiting groove 20. When the elastic member is driven to move the product, the elastic member can be limited by the limiting groove 20 to prevent the elastic member from being offset and causing the movement of the product to be blocked, thereby improving the efficiency of product shipment. The guide part 40 provided on the box body 10 enables the product to move under the guidance of the inclined guide part 40 when the product is pushed to move by the elastic member, thereby avoiding the movement of the product being limited by the box body 10 and ensuring the smoothness of the product movement.

[0038] In one embodiment, the side surface of the box body 10 is concave to form the limiting groove 20 and accommodate the elastic member 70 .

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the limiting groove 20 is arranged on the side of the box body 10 , and the side of the box body 10 is concave toward the center of the box body 10 . The elastic member 70 is penetrated in the limiting groove 20 and abuts against the side wall of the limiting groove 20 .

[0040] It can be understood that the limiting groove 20 limits the elastic member 70 , and the concave side wall of the limiting groove 20 can both accommodate the elastic member 70 and prevent the elastic member 70 from rotating out of the limiting groove 20 .

[0041] It should be noted that the side wall of the limiting groove 20 is arc-shaped, and the elastic member 70 is a spring.

[0042] It can be understood that the arc-shaped side wall of the limiting groove 20 abuts against the side surface of the elastic member 70 , so that the limiting groove 20 can limit the displacement of the elastic member 70 and avoid limiting the rotation of the elastic member 70 .

[0043] In one embodiment, the limiting groove 20 passes through the box body 10 from top to bottom, and the limiting groove 20 opens at a side surface of the box body 10 .

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the limiting groove 20 passes through the box body 10 from top to bottom, thereby facilitating the penetration of the elastic member 70 . The limiting groove 20 is open at the side of the box body 10 , facilitating the assembly of the elastic member 70 on the limiting groove 20 .

[0045] In one embodiment, the outer side surface of the elastic member 70 contacts the side wall of the limiting groove 20 .

[0046] It should be noted that the elastic member 70 is a spring.

[0047] It can be understood that the elastic member 70 is columnar as a whole, and the outer side surface of the elastic member 70 is arc-shaped, so as to fit tightly with the arc-shaped side wall of the limiting groove 20, thereby improving the limiting effect of the limiting groove 20 on the elastic member 70 and preventing the elastic member 70 from detaching from the limiting groove 20.

[0048] In one embodiment, the side wall of the limiting groove 20 is arc-shaped.

[0049] It is understandable that the side wall of the limiting groove 20 is arc-shaped, so as to facilitate the fitting of the elastic member 70 on the arc-shaped side surface and improve the limiting effect on the elastic member 70.

[0050] In one embodiment, there are a plurality of guide portions 40 , and the plurality of guide portions 40 are disposed at intervals on the upper surface of the box body 10 .

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, there are two guide portions 40 , and the two guide portions 40 are arranged at intervals on the surface of the box body 10 .

[0052] It can be understood that the vertical projection of the inclined guide portion 40 is located on the surface of the box body 10. When the stacked products are pushed, the guide portion 40 can guide the products to prevent the products from being restricted in movement by the box body 10, so that the box body 10 can not only restrict the elastic member 70, but also ensure the orderliness of product output.

[0053] In one embodiment, the limiting groove 20 is located between the plurality of guiding portions 40 , and the elastic member 70 is located between the plurality of guiding portions 40 .

[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, two guide portions 40 are provided, and the two guide portions 40 are respectively located on both sides of the limiting groove 20 .

[0055] It is understandable that when the elastic member 70 is inserted into the limiting groove 20 , the two guide portions 40 are respectively located on both sides of the elastic member 70 , so that the guide portions 40 avoid affecting the rotation and pushing of the product by the elastic member 70 .

[0056] In one embodiment, a vacant slot 30 is defined in the box body 10 and opens toward the guiding portion 40 .

[0057] In order to reduce the cost of the box body 10 , the vacant slot 30 is provided in the box body 10 , thereby reducing the production cost of the box body 10 while ensuring the structural strength of the box body 10 itself.

[0058] It is understandable that the vacant slot 30 opens toward the guide portion 40 , and the side of the box body 10 is concave toward the center of the guide portion 40 , so that the side of the box body 10 can restrict the elastic member 70 and ensure the structural strength of the box body 10 .

[0059] In one embodiment, a plurality of support plates 50 are disposed on the box body 10 . The plurality of support plates 50 are spaced apart and arranged on the upper surface of the box body 10 . One support plate 50 is connected to one guide portion 40 .

[0060] In order to improve the connection strength between the guide portion 40 and the box body 10 , the support plate 50 is disposed on the box body 10 , and the support plate 50 is connected to the guide portion 40 to improve the bending strength of the guide portion 40 .

[0061] It should be noted that the guide portion 40 is a guide plate to facilitate the movement of the product.

[0062] The utility model also proposes a vending machine, which includes a body 60 and the anti-rotation spring deviation mechanism 100. The specific structure of the anti-rotation spring deviation mechanism refers to the above embodiment. Since the vending machine adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here. Among them, the body 60 is provided with a placement cavity 61, and the anti-rotation spring deviation mechanism 100 is installed on the side wall of the placement cavity 61. The placement cavity 61 is provided with a driving part, and the driving part is connected to the elastic member 70, and the elastic member 70 partially extends into the limiting groove 20.

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, the box body 10 is installed on the side wall of the placement cavity 61.

[0064] It can be understood that the output power of the driving unit drives the elastic member 70 to rotate, thereby facilitating the movement of the product for shipment.

[0065] It can be understood that the products are placed in the placement cavity 61 at intervals.

[0066] The above description is only an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
