[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automation, in particular to an automatic vending machine capable of preventing goods from being stuck. Background Art

[0002] As an indispensable part of modern retail industry, vending machines provide great convenience to customers with their unique unmanned sales model. This unmanned sales system allows customers to select goods and complete payment through a simple operation interface without direct service from store clerks, and then the machine automatically delivers the goods to the delivery port. Due to its flexibility and convenience, vending machines are widely used in various public places such as shopping malls, airports, subway stations, schools, hospitals, office buildings and street corners, providing the public with 24-hour uninterrupted shopping services.

[0003] However, in actual operation, when existing vending machines determine that the goods have been shipped, the goods have not actually successfully fallen to the delivery port, resulting in customers being unable to obtain the goods after payment, which is the "stuck goods" phenomenon. This problem will cause customers to fail to obtain the purchased goods in time after payment, and they will feel dissatisfied and disappointed. This unpleasant shopping experience will directly affect their trust and loyalty to the vending machine and even the entire brand. In addition, frequent stuck goods problems will force the operator to arrange more manpower for on-site inspections and maintenance, reducing the automation level and operational efficiency of the vending machine.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] Embodiment 1: A vending machine that prevents goods from getting stuck, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, it includes a cabinet 1, a supporting foot 2, a display screen 3, a coin slot 4, a cabinet door 5, an observation window 6, a buffer plate 15 and an anti-stuck goods mechanism. The interior of the cabinet 1 is divided into at least six rows and four columns of twenty-four small cabinets. A supporting foot 2 is arranged on the right side of the cabinet 1, and a display screen 3 is arranged on the supporting foot 2. The display screen 3 displays the goods and payment information inside the cabinet 1. A coin slot 4 is arranged on the top of the display screen 3, so that goods can be purchased by inserting coins. A cabinet door 5 is rotatably arranged at the lower part of the cabinet 1. The cabinet door 5 is pushed inward so that the goods dropped to the delivery port can be taken out. A transparent observation window 6 is arranged on the cabinet 1, so that customers can select goods intuitively. A buffer plate 15 is rotatably arranged on the upper part of the delivery port of the cabinet 1. The buffer plate 15 can buffer the dropped goods to prevent the goods from falling directly into the cabinet box at a high place and causing damage to the goods. An anti-stuck goods mechanism is installed in the cabinet 1, which can push out the goods and detect whether the goods have dropped to the delivery port at the same time to avoid the "stuck goods" phenomenon.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the anti-stuck goods mechanism includes: an electric slide rail 9, a push plate 10 and an infrared sensing device 11. An electric slide rail 9 is arranged at the bottom of each cabinet box in the cabinet 1, and a push plate 10 is arranged on the electric slide rail 9. An infrared sensing device 11 is arranged on the right side of each layer of the cabinet 1. The infrared sensing device 11 can detect the status of goods falling from each cabinet box on this layer.

[0026] When a customer needs to buy goods inside the vending machine, he first selects the goods he needs to buy on the display screen 3, and then pays or inserts coins into the coin slot 4. After detecting that the payment is completed, the electric slide rail 9 of the corresponding cabinet box starts to drive the push plate 10 to move, thereby pushing the goods inside outward until the infrared sensing device 11 detects that there is a product falling at the corresponding position. The electric slide rail 9 will stop and the push plate 10 will stop synchronously. The goods fall to the contact buffer plate 15. Due to the effect of gravity, the goods press the buffer plate 15 to vibrate downward. The goods push the buffer plate 15 away and fall to the delivery port. After the goods are separated from the buffer plate 15, the buffer plate 15 is reset, and the customer pushes the cabinet door 5 to take out the purchased goods.

[0027] Embodiment 2: Based on embodiment 1, Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes: a fixed plate 7, protective cotton 701, a guide rod 8, a first spring 801, a fan 12, a second spring 13, a buffer cotton 14 and a support plate 1401. Two guide rods 8 are arranged on the rear side of each cabinet box of the cabinet 1. The two guide rods 8 are sleeved with a first spring 801. A fixed plate 7 is slidably installed on the guide rod 8. One end of the first spring 801 is connected to the cabinet 1, and the other end is connected to the guide rod 8. Protective cotton 701 is pasted on the fixed plate 7. The protective cotton 701 can prevent damage to the goods when the goods are clamped. Four fans 12 are symmetrically arranged on the cabinet 1. The fan 12 can ventilate and dissipate heat to prevent the goods from being affected by excessive temperature. A plurality of second springs 13 are arranged at the bottom of the delivery port of the cabinet 1. A support plate 1401 is commonly installed on the second springs 13. Buffer cotton 14 is pasted on the support plate 1401. The buffer cotton 14 can buffer the fallen goods to prevent the impact force when falling from causing damage to the goods.

[0028] When goods need to be added to the cabinet 1, first push the fixed plates 7 on both sides to slide along the guide rods 8, then place the goods one by one, and then loosen the fixed plates 7 on both sides. The fixed plates 7 are reset under the action of the first spring 801 to clamp the goods. When the goods fall to the delivery port, the second spring 13 and the buffer cotton 14 at the bottom absorb the impact force, which reduces the possibility of hard contact between the goods and the delivery port, and reduces the risk of damage to the goods due to impact. When the ambient temperature is high, start the fan 12 to accelerate the circulation of air inside the cabinet 1, effectively preventing the goods from deteriorating due to high temperature or affecting the sales quality.

[0029] The above-mentioned embodiments only express the preferred implementation of the utility model, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications, improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
