DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0023] See also Figures 1 to 4The utility model provides a technical solution: a vending machine with an alarm structure, comprising a cabinet body 1, a cabinet door 2 rotatably installed on the front side wall of the cabinet body 1 through hinges, a picking port 201 is opened on the cabinet door 2, a picking baffle 3 is rotatably installed in the picking port 201 through hinges, a vibration sensor 11, a controller 12 and an audible and visual alarm 10 are fixedly installed on the inner side of the cabinet door 2, and the vibration sensor 11 and the audible and visual alarm 10 are electrically connected to the controller 12.
[0024] When a thief violently steals from the vending machine, the vibration sensor 11 will sense the vibration and transmit a signal to the controller 12. The controller 12 outputs the signal to the sound and light alarm 10. The sound and light alarm 10 emits a sound to warn and drive away the thief, and also alerts the surrounding staff, thereby achieving the purpose of theft prevention.
[0025] The vibration sensor 11 can usually set a threshold, the so-called "amplitude", which represents the minimum vibration intensity required to trigger an alarm; this can prevent false alarms, because only vibrations exceeding the set amplitude will trigger the vibration sensor 11; once the vibration sensor 11 detects abnormal vibration, it will trigger the sound and light alarm 10, sounding an alarm or flashing lights to attract the attention of people around.
[0026] Two sets of symmetrically distributed limit assemblies are rotatably arranged on the inner side of the cabinet door 2, and a driving assembly is fixedly installed on the inner side of the cabinet door 2. The two sets of limit assemblies are driven to move by the driving assembly, so that the limit assemblies limit and block the pickup baffle 3.
[0027] The limiting assembly includes a rotating shaft 4 rotatably inserted into the inner wall of the cabinet door 2 , a gear 5 fixed on the rotating shaft 4 , and a blocking bar 6 , wherein the blocking bar 6 is used to block the pickup baffle 3 .
[0028] The driving assembly includes a cylinder 9 fixed to the inner wall of the cabinet door 2, a connecting bar 8 fixed to the output end of the cylinder 9, and two racks 7 fixed to the bottom side of the connecting bar 8. The rack 7 is individually meshed with one of the gears 5, and the controller 12 is electrically connected to the cylinder 9.
[0029] When the vibration sensor 11 detects abnormal vibration, the controller 12 will simultaneously drive the cylinder 9 to operate. The cylinder 9 pushes the rack 7 down through the connecting bar 8, and the rack 7 drives the gear 5 to rotate. The gear 5 drives the baffle 6 to rotate through the rotating shaft 4, so that the baffle 6 is used to block the pickup baffle 3. At this time, the pickup baffle 3 cannot be opened, preventing the thief from further stealing.
[0030] The two blocking bars 6 are distributed on the left and right sides of the picking baffle 3 to block the picking baffle 3 from both sides, further preventing the picking baffle 3 from being opened by external force, thereby improving the anti-theft effect.
[0031] A transparent window 13 is fixedly embedded on the surface of the cabinet door 2, and consumers can see the goods inside the vending machine through the transparent window 13; this transparency allows consumers to directly see the appearance, variety and display method of the goods, thereby improving the display effect and attractiveness of the goods.
[0032] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only preferred examples of the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected. The scope of protection of the utility model is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
