Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of automatic vending machines, and in particular to a vending machine. Background Art

[0002] A vending machine is a device that sells goods through automation technology and is widely used in various places, such as stations, shopping malls, office buildings, etc. The vending machine locks and unlocks the door through a door lock device.

[0003] In the related art, the door lock device of the vending machine includes an electromagnetic lock body and a lock plate with a magnet. The electromagnetic lock body is installed on the top of the machine body, and the lock plate with a magnet is installed on the top of the door body. When the door body is opened, the lock plate and the magnet on the lock plate rotate with the door body. When the door body is closed, the electromagnetic lock body and the lock plate cooperate to lock the door body.

[0004] However, the door lock device of the relevant vending machine only locks the top of the door body and the box body. Due to the high height of the door body, the bottom of the door body is easily affected by external force to form a gap between the box body and the box body, resulting in the theft of goods in the box, reducing the anti-theft performance of the vending machine. Utility Model Content

[0005] The embodiment of the present application provides a vending machine that can solve the technical problem of poor anti-theft performance of related vending machines.

[0006] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a vending machine, comprising:

[0007] A box body having a storage chamber with a front opening;

[0008] The door body has a hinged end and an opening end, the hinged end and the opening end are located at two ends in the width direction of the door body, the hinged end is hinged to the box body, and the door body is configured to open and close the storage chamber;

[0009] The door lock device is arranged between the box body and the door body and is configured to lock the door body and the box body. The door lock device includes:

[0010] The lock hook component comprises a lock hook, wherein the lock hook has a locking portion and a first stop portion; the locking portion is arranged at a position near the door opening end inside the door body and between the top and bottom ends of the door body; the first stop portion is arranged at one end of the locking portion along the height direction, and an accommodating gap is provided between the first stop portion and the inside of the door body;

[0011] The lock body component is arranged on the inner wall of the box body away from the hinged end, and the lock body component includes a driving assembly, a locking piece and a detector; the locking piece is arranged at the output end of the driving assembly, and a card slot is constructed on the side of the locking piece away from the driving assembly, and the card slot corresponds to the end of the card position part close to the accommodating gap when the door body closes the storage chamber; the driving assembly and the detector are electrically connected, and the driving assembly is configured to push the locking piece toward the lock hook when the detector detects that the position of the lock hook corresponds to the locking piece, so that part of the card position part is stuck in the card slot, and the first stop part stops at the rear end of the locking piece.

[0012] In the vending machine of the embodiment of the present application, the lock hook component is arranged in the middle position of the door opening end. When the lock body component and the lock hook component are locked, the height difference between the lock hook component and the bottom end of the door body is smaller than the height of the door body, so that the gap formed between the bottom end of the door body and the box body under the action of external force is reduced, making it difficult for goods in the box body to pass through the gap, thereby reducing the possibility of goods being stolen and improving the anti-theft performance of the vending machine.

[0013] In addition, when the door body closes the storage chamber, the position of the lock hook corresponds to the position of the locking member, the driving assembly pushes the locking member toward the lock hook, and makes part of the locking portion locked in the locking groove, and the first stopper stops at the rear end of the locking member, so as to achieve the locking of the lock hook and the locking member. At this time, because the first stopper stops at the rear end of the locking member, it is difficult for the door opening end to move away from the box body, which increases the difficulty of the door body opening the storage chamber, and further improves the anti-theft performance of the vending machine.

[0014] In some embodiments of the present application, the first stop portion is disposed at the top of the locking portion, and the lock body component is located at the top of the lock hook when the door body closes the storage chamber, and the locking direction of the locking member is downward.

[0015] Compared with the lock body component being located at the bottom of the lock hook when the door closes the storage chamber, this arrangement makes the locking member less susceptible to being unlocked from the lock body component by its own gravity, thereby improving the reliability of the cooperation between the lock body component and the lock hook.

[0016] In some embodiments of the present application, the driving component includes:

[0017] An electromagnet, wherein the electromagnet is provided with a movable channel, and the movable channel extends along a locking direction of the locking member;

[0018] The iron core extends along the locking direction, and part of the iron core is inserted in the movable channel. When the electromagnet is energized, the iron core moves in the opposite direction of the locking direction under the action of the magnetic attraction of the electromagnet; a second stopper is provided on the side wall of the iron core, and the second stopper and the electromagnet are spaced apart;

[0019] A spring, wherein the spring is sleeved on the iron core, and one end of the spring abuts against the electromagnet, and the other end abuts against the second stopper, and the spring is compressed when the electromagnet is energized;

[0020] The locking piece is arranged at one end of the iron core away from the electromagnet, and the electromagnet is configured to be powered off when the detector detects that the position of the lock hook corresponds to the locking piece.

[0021] In this way, when the position of the lock hook and the position of the locking member do not correspond, the electromagnet is energized, the electromagnet attracts the iron core to move toward the electromagnet, and the iron core drives the locking member to move in the opposite direction of the locking direction, so that the locking member and the lock hook are unlocked. In this process, the spring is gradually compressed.

[0022] When the position of the electromagnet and the locking piece correspond, the power is cut off, the attraction of the electromagnet to the iron core disappears, and the iron core moves away from the electromagnet under the elastic force of the spring, driving the locking piece to move in the locking direction and lock with the lock hook.

[0023] In some embodiments of the present application, the lock body component also includes a lock shell, and the drive assembly and the detector are arranged in the lock shell.

[0024] With such arrangement, when assembling the lock body component and the box, it is only necessary to fix the lock shell to the inner side wall of the box away from the hinge end, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the lock body component and the box. In addition, the drive assembly and the detector are hidden in the lock shell, thereby improving the decorative effect of the vending machine.

[0025] In some embodiments of the present application, a through hole is configured on one side of the lock housing close to the locking member, and the through hole is configured to allow the locking member to pass through;

[0026] The locking member has a locking position and a retracted position;

[0027] When the locking piece is in the locking position, the locking piece extends out of the lock housing;

[0028] When the locking element is located at the retracted position, at least a portion of the locking element is accommodated in the lock housing.

[0029] With such arrangement, the locking member is hidden in the lock housing when located at the retracted position, thereby improving the decorative effect of the vending machine.

[0030] In some embodiments of the present application, a maintenance port is configured on the rear side of the lock housing.

[0031] With such arrangement, when a lock body component fails or is damaged, the drive assembly and detector etc. in the housing can be repaired or replaced through the maintenance port, thereby improving the inspection efficiency of the lock body component.

[0032] In some embodiments of the present application, the lock housing has an inner top wall, a first inner side wall, and a second inner side wall, the inner top wall is located at the inner top of the lock housing, the first inner side wall and the second inner side wall are located on both sides of the inner side of the lock housing along the width direction, and the maintenance port is enclosed by the inner top wall, the first inner side wall, and the rear ends of the second inner side wall;

[0033] At least one of the inner top wall, the first inner side wall and the second inner side wall is provided with a spacer, the drive assembly is arranged on the top of the lock shell, and the outer wall of the drive assembly abuts against the spacer, and there is a gap between the drive assembly and part of the lock shell.

[0034] Such arrangement allows a gap to be provided between the drive assembly and the lock housing, making it easy to gradually remove the drive assembly from the lock housing for inspection and maintenance of the drive assembly.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present application, the door body includes a frame and a light-transmitting plate, the frame is arranged outside the light-transmitting plate, and a first assembly hole is configured at the door opening end of the frame;

[0036] The lock hook components also include:

[0037] A mounting seat, at least partially inserted into the frame, the mounting seat is configured with a second assembly hole, and the second assembly hole is correspondingly connected to the first assembly hole;

[0038] The fixing piece is arranged at the front end of the locking part, and is fitted with the inner wall of the frame structure having a first assembly hole. The fixing piece is structured with a third assembly hole, and the third assembly hole is correspondingly connected to the first assembly hole. Fasteners are inserted into the third assembly hole, the first assembly hole and the second assembly hole.

[0039] In this way, the fixing member and the lock hook are fixedly connected to the frame. In addition to being fixedly assembled with the frame, the fixing member is also fixedly assembled with the mounting seat, which improves the fastening effect of the fixing member and the lock hook, thereby improving the anti-theft performance of the vending machine.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, the detector is disposed on a side of the locking member facing away from the card slot.

[0041] Such arrangement improves the structural compactness of the lock body components.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present application, the vending machine further includes a refrigeration device, which is disposed in the box body and configured to provide cold air to the storage chamber.

[0043] With this arrangement, the refrigeration equipment lowers the temperature in the storage room to meet the storage temperature requirements of the goods. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0076] As described in the background art, the vending machine in the related art has the problem of poor anti-theft performance. The inventor has found through research that the reason for this problem is that the door lock device of the vending machine in the related art locks from the top of the door body to lock the top of the door body. Since the height of the door body is usually high, although the top of the door body and the box body are locked, the bottom of the door body is prone to form a gap with the box body under the action of a large external force, resulting in the theft of goods in the box body, resulting in reduced anti-theft performance of the vending machine.

[0077] In view of this, in the vending machine of the embodiment of the present application, the lock hook component is arranged in the middle position of the door opening end. When the lock body component and the lock hook component are locked, the height difference between the lock hook component and the bottom end of the door body is smaller than the height of the door body, so that the gap formed between the bottom end of the door body and the box body under the action of external force is reduced, making it difficult for goods in the box body to pass through the gap, thereby reducing the possibility of goods being stolen and improving the anti-theft performance of the vending machine.

Fasteners are inserted into the third assembly hole 431, the first assembly hole 211, and the second assembly hole 421 to fix the fixing member 430 and the lock hook 410 to the frame 210. In addition to being fixedly assembled with the frame 210, the fixing member 430 is also fixedly assembled with the mounting seat 420, which improves the fastening effect of the fixing member 430 and the lock hook 410, thereby improving the anti-theft performance of the vending machine.

[0108] In addition, by setting the lock hook component 40 on the frame 210 , the lock hook component 40 can reduce the blocking of the light-transmitting plate 220 , making it easier for consumers to observe the type and location of the goods in the storage chamber 101 through the light-transmitting plate 220 .

[0109] In some possible implementations of the present application, reference is made to Figure 1-Figure 6The lock body component 50 is arranged on the inner side wall of the box body 10 away from the hinge end 201. When the door body 20 closes the storage chamber 101, the lock body component 50 is arranged on the inner side wall of the box body 10 near the lock hook 410.

[0110] The lock body component 50 includes a driving assembly 510 and a locking member 520. The locking member 520 is disposed at the output end of the driving assembly 510.

[0111] refer to Figure 3-Figure 7 In the implementation method in which the first stop portion 412 is arranged at the top of the locking portion 411, when the door body 20 closes the storage chamber 101, the driving assembly 510 and the locking member 520 are located above the lock hook 410, and the locking direction D1 of the locking member 520 is directed downward from the locking member 520 to the lock hook 410.

[0112] In the implementation in which the first stop portion 412 is disposed at the bottom end of the locking portion 411, when the door body 20 closes the storage chamber 101, the drive assembly 510 and the locking member 520 are located below the lock hook 410, and the locking direction D1 of the locking member 520 is directed upward from the locking member 520 to the lock hook 410.

[0113] In the above implementation, the locking member 520 is configured with a slot 521 on one side away from the driving assembly 510, and the front and rear ends of the slot 521 penetrate the locking member 520. The slot 521 corresponds to one end of the locking portion 411 close to the accommodating gap 413 when the door 20 closes the storage chamber 101.

[0114] The driving assembly 510 is configured to drive the locking member 520 to move along the locking direction D1 so that the locking portion 411 and the locking slot 521 are matched, and the first stopping portion 412 is stopped at the rear end of the locking member 520 .

[0115] In some possible implementations of the present application, reference is made to Figure 6 The driving component 510 may include an electromagnet 511. When the electromagnet 511 is powered on, the electromagnet 511 generates a magnetic field with magnetism, so it can attract ferromagnetic objects. After the electromagnet 511 is powered off, the magnetic field disappears and it has no magnetism.

[0116] The electromagnet 511 is configured to be powered off when the detector 530 detects that the position of the lock hook 410 corresponds to the position of the locking member 520 , and powered on when the detector 530 detects that the position of the lock hook 410 does not correspond to the position of the locking member 520 .

[0117] The electromagnet 511 may be configured with a movable channel, and the movable channel extends along the locking direction D1 of the locking member 520 .

[0118] The driving assembly 510 may include an iron core 513. The iron core 513 may be in a rod shape. The iron core 513 extends along the locking direction D1, and part of the iron core 513 is inserted into part of the movable channel. When the electromagnet 511 is energized, the iron core 513 moves in the opposite direction D2 of the locking direction under the action of the magnetic attraction of the electromagnet 511, thereby increasing the length of the iron core 513 inserted into the movable channel, and reducing the length of the iron core 513 outside the movable channel while keeping the total length of the iron core 513 unchanged.

[0119] A side of the locking member 520 facing away from the locking slot 521 is connected to an end of the iron core 513 away from the electromagnet 511 .

[0120] The side wall of the iron core 513 outside the movable channel is provided with a second stopper ( Figure 6 The second stopper may be a stopper block or a stopper protrusion, etc. The second stopper and the electromagnet 511 are spaced apart.

[0121] The driving assembly 510 may include a spring 515. The spring 515 is sleeved on the iron core 513, and one end of the spring 515 abuts against the electromagnet 511, and the other end abuts against the second stopper. The spring 515 is compressed when the electromagnet 511 is energized.

[0122] When the position of the lock hook 410 and the position of the locking member 520 do not correspond, the electromagnet 511 is energized, the electromagnet 511 attracts the iron core 513 to move toward the electromagnet 511, and the iron core 513 drives the locking member 520 to move in the opposite direction D2 of the locking direction, so that the locking member 520 and the lock hook 410 are unlocked. In this process, the spring 515 is gradually compressed.

[0123] When the position of the electromagnet 511 corresponds to the position of the locking hook 410 and the locking member 520, the power is cut off, and the attraction of the electromagnet 511 to the iron core 513 disappears. Under the action of the elastic force of the spring 515, the iron core 513 moves away from the electromagnet 511, driving the locking member 520 to move along the locking direction D1 and lock with the locking hook 410.

[0124] In some other possible implementations of the present application, the drive assembly 510 may be an electric push rod or other linear actuator. Taking the electric push rod as an example, the electric push rod has a telescopic rod, and the telescopic rod extends along the locking direction D1. The end of the locking member 520 facing away from the card slot 521 is connected to the end of the telescopic rod.

[0125] The electric push rod is also configured to drive the telescopic rod to move along the locking direction D1 when the position of the locking hook 410 corresponds to the position of the locking member 520, so that the locking member 520 and the locking hook 410 are locked in coordination.

[0126] The electric push rod is configured to drive the telescopic rod to move in the opposite direction D2 of the locking direction when the position of the locking hook 410 and the position of the locking member 520 do not correspond to each other, so as to unlock the locking member 520 and the locking hook 410.

[0127] In some possible implementations of the present application, reference is made to Figure 6 The lock body component 50 includes a detector 530. The detector 530 is disposed on the inner wall of the box body 10 away from the hinge end 201. The detector 530 is configured to detect the position of the lock hook 410.

[0128] When the door 20 closes the storage chamber 101, the detector 530 and the lock hook 410 can be spaced apart along the height direction Z of the vending machine. Exemplarily, the detector 530 can be spaced apart above or below the lock hook 410 so that the detector 530 can detect the position of the lock hook 410 when the door 20 is closed.

[0129] In some possible implementations of the present application, reference is made to Figure 6 The detector 530 can be located on the side of the locking member 520 away from the slot 521 , that is, the detector 530 is located between the locking member 520 and the driving assembly 510 to improve the compactness of the structure of the lock body component 50 .

[0130] In some possible implementations of the present application, the detector 530 may be a laser displacement sensor. The laser displacement sensor determines the position of the lock hook 410 by emitting a laser beam and detecting the position of the reflected beam. The laser displacement sensor emits a laser beam to illuminate the lock hook 410, and the reflected beam is received by the sensor. By measuring the flight time or reflection angle of the laser beam, the position of the lock hook 410 can be accurately calculated.

[0131] In some other possible implementations of the present application, the detector 530 may be an ultrasonic sensor. The ultrasonic sensor determines the position of the lock hook 410 by emitting ultrasonic waves and detecting the reflected ultrasonic waves. The ultrasonic sensor emits ultrasonic pulses, which are reflected when they encounter the lock hook 410. By measuring the flight time of the ultrasonic pulses, the distance between the lock hook 410 and the ultrasonic sensor can be calculated.

[0132] The driving assembly 510 and the detector 530 in the above implementation are electrically connected. The driving assembly 510 is configured to push the locking member 520 toward the locking hook 410 when the detector 530 detects that the position of the locking hook 410 corresponds to the locking member 520, so that the partial locking portion 411 of the partial locking hook 410 is locked in the locking groove 521 of the locking member 520, and the first stop portion 412 is stopped at the rear end of the locking member 520, so that the locking member 520 and the locking hook 410 are locked and matched.

[0133] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the door lock device 30 may include a door lock controller, and the door lock controller may be disposed in the box 10.

[0134] The detector 530 is electrically connected to the door lock controller, and the detector 530 is configured to send the detected position information of the lock hook 410 to the door lock controller.

[0135] The drive assembly 510 is electrically connected to the door lock controller, and the door lock controller is configured to determine the positional relationship between the lock hook 410 and the locking member 520, and when the position of the lock hook 410 corresponds to the position of the locking member 520, control the drive assembly 510 to push the locking member 520 toward the lock hook 410 so that the locking member 520 and the lock hook 410 are locked and matched.

[0136] In some other possible implementations of the embodiment of the present application, the vending machine may include a main controller. The main controller is configured to control the program execution and function implementation of the entire vending machine. The main controller may be disposed in the box 10.

[0137] The detector 530 is electrically connected to the main controller, and the detector 530 is configured to send the detected position information of the locking hook 410 to the main controller.

[0138] The drive assembly 510 is electrically connected to the main controller, and the main controller is configured to determine the positional relationship between the lock hook 410 and the locking member 520, and when the position of the lock hook 410 corresponds to the position of the locking member 520, control the drive assembly 510 to push the locking member 520 toward the lock hook 410 so that the locking member 520 and the lock hook 410 are locked and matched.

[0139] In the vending machine of the embodiment of the present application, when the door body 20 closes the storage chamber 101, the position of the lock hook 410 corresponds to the position of the locking member 520 (refer to Figure 7 ), the driving assembly 510 pushes the locking member 520 toward the locking hook 410, and the part of the locking portion 411 is locked in the locking groove 521, and the first stop portion 412 is stopped at the rear end of the locking member 520, so as to achieve the locking of the locking hook 410 and the locking member 520 (refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 At this time, since the first stopper 412 stops at the rear end of the locking member 520, the door opening end 202 is difficult to move away from the box body 10, which increases the difficulty of the door body 20 opening the storage chamber 101, thereby achieving the locking of the door body 20 and the box body 10.

[0140] The driving assembly 510 in the above embodiment is further configured to drive the locking member 520 to move in the opposite direction D2 of the locking direction when receiving the door opening signal, so that the locking portion 411 moves out of the locking groove 521, and the first stop portion 412 and the locking member 520 are separated along the height direction Z of the vending machine. At this time, the locking member 520 and the lock hook 410 are unlocked (refer to Figure 7 ), when a pulling force is applied to the door opening end 202, the door body 20 can rotate relative to the box body 10, thereby opening the storage chamber 101 to facilitate the taking and placing of goods.

[0141] The door opening signal can be transmitted to the main controller by the mobile terminal through scanning the QR code on the vending machine. The door opening signal can also be transmitted to the main controller by the consumer through the display screen, button or touch screen of the vending machine.

[0142] In some possible implementations of the present application, reference is made to Figure 6 The lock body component 50 may include a lock shell 540 , and the lock shell 540 is disposed on the inner wall of the box body 10 away from the hinge end 201 .

[0143] The drive assembly 510 and the detector 530 can be both disposed in the lock housing 540. When the lock body component 50 and the box 10 are assembled, the lock housing 540 only needs to be fixedly disposed on the inner side wall of the box 10 away from the hinge end 201, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the lock body component 50 and the box 10.

[0144] In addition, the driving assembly 510 and the detector 530 are hidden in the lock housing 540, thereby improving the decorative effect of the vending machine.

[0145] In some possible implementations of the embodiment of the present application, a through hole 541 may be configured on one side of the lock housing 540 close to the locking member 520 , and the through hole 541 is configured to allow the locking member 520 to pass through.

[0146] The locking member 520 may have a locked position and a retracted position.

[0147] When the door 20 opens the storage chamber 101, the locking member 520 and the lock hook 410 are unlocked. When the locking member 520 is in the retracted position, at least a portion of the locking member 520 is accommodated in the lock housing 540 (refer to Figure 7 ) to hide at least a portion of the locking member 520, thereby improving the decorativeness of the vending machine.

[0148] When the door 20 closes the storage chamber 101 and the locking member 520 and the lock hook 410 cooperate to lock, when the locking member 520 is in the locked position, the locking member 520 extends out of the lock housing 540 through the through opening 541 on the lock housing 540 (refer to Figure 6 ).

[0149] In some possible implementations of the present application, reference is made to Figure 6 The rear side of the lock housing 540 may be provided with a maintenance port 542. When the lock body 50 fails or is damaged, the drive assembly 510 and the detector 530 in the housing may be repaired or replaced through the maintenance port 542, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency of the lock body 50.

[0150] In some possible implementations of the embodiment of the present application, the lock housing 540 may have a rear side wall, and the rear side wall is located at the rear side of the lock housing 540. The maintenance port 542 may be opened on the rear side wall.

[0151] In some other possible implementations of the embodiment of the present application, the lock housing 540 may have an inner top wall, a first inner side wall, and a second inner side wall, wherein the inner top wall is located at the inner top of the lock housing 540. The first inner side wall and the second inner side wall are located on both sides of the inner side of the lock housing 540 along the width direction X of the vending machine. The maintenance opening 542 may be formed by enclosing the rear ends of the inner top wall, the first inner side wall, and the second inner side wall.

[0152] At least one of the inner top wall, the first inner side wall and the second inner side wall is provided with a spacer 543, which may be a spacer block or a spacer bar, etc. The drive assembly 510 may be provided at the top of the lock housing 540, and the outer wall of the drive assembly 510 abuts against the spacer 543, so that there is a gap between the drive assembly 510 and part of the lock housing 540, so as to facilitate the removal of the drive assembly 510 from the lock housing 540 for maintenance.
