[0025] Example
[0026] See also Figure 1-5 The utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic popcorn vending machine that is convenient for taking materials, including an automatic retail popcorn machine body 1, a placement slot is arranged on one side of the inner wall of the automatic retail popcorn machine body 1, a baffle 2 is arranged on one side of the inner wall of the placement slot, a popcorn bucket 6 located inside the placement slot is arranged on one side of the baffle 2, and the popcorn bucket 6 is used to load the popcorn for sale, and a transparent window 3 and a coin slot 4 are respectively installed on one side of the automatic retail popcorn machine body 1, the transparent window 3 is located on the upper side of the coin slot 4, the transparent window 3 can observe the internal popcorn processing process, and after inserting coins into the coin slot 4, popcorn can be made;
[0027] A feeding assembly 5 is provided on one side of the baffle plate 2, and the feeding assembly 5 is used to feed a popcorn bucket 6 filled with popcorn, so that the user can conveniently take the popcorn bucket 6;
[0028] In order to facilitate customers to take out popcorn, a feeding assembly 5 is provided, which includes a multi-stage electric push rod 510 and a support rod 56. A gear rod 59 is fixed on one side of the support rod 56. A push plate 54 is fixed on the push rod end of the multi-stage electric push rod 510. A cross plate 52 and a connecting rod 511 are fixed on one side of the push plate 54 respectively. The cross plate 52 is located at the lower side of the connecting rod 511, and one side of the support rod 56 is fixed to the top side of the push plate 54. A limiting ring 53 is fixed on one side of the connecting rod 511. The limiting ring 53 is sleeved on the outer side of the popcorn bucket 6. A guiding inclined surface is provided on the top side of the limiting ring 53. A popcorn bucket 6 is transported into the automatic retail popcorn machine body 1 and falls into the inner side of the limiting ring 53. Under the action of the guiding inclined surface on the top of the limiting ring 53, the popcorn bucket 6 can easily enter the inner side of the limiting ring 53.
[0029] A rotating shaft 57 is fixedly inserted into one side of the top of the baffle 2, and a gear 58 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the rotating shaft 57. The gear 58 is meshed with the gear rod 59. The push rod end of the multi-stage electric push rod 510 pushes the push plate 54 and the support rod 56 to move toward the side of the baffle 2. Since the cross plate 52 is spaced apart from the baffle 2, the gear rod 59 is preferentially meshed with the gear 58. A limiting groove 51 is provided on one side of the automatic retail popcorn machine body 1. The outer sides of the support rod 56 and the gear rod 59 are slidably connected to the inner side of the limiting groove 51. One side of the multi-stage electric push rod 510 is fixed to the inner side of the placement groove. The side walls and both sides of the rotating shaft 57 are rotatably connected to the inner side walls of the placement slot through bearings. When the support rod 56 pushes the gear rod 59 to move, the baffle 2 rotates around the rotating shaft 57, so that the baffle 2 leaves one side of the placement slot. When the baffle 2 is opened, the thrust of the multi-stage electric push rod 510 causes the cross plate 52 to drive the top popcorn bucket 6 and the popcorn to extend out of the inner side of the placement slot. The customer does not need to reach deep into the automatic retail popcorn machine body 1 to take out the popcorn bucket 6, which avoids the customer's hand from coming into contact with the high-temperature popcorn when reaching deep into the inner side of the placement slot, thereby preventing the customer's hand from being scalded.
[0030] The model of the automatic retail popcorn machine body 1 is: YJ519.
[0031] Working principle or structural principle: firstly, the automatic retail popcorn machine body 1 is placed at the selling position, corn and other raw materials are added to the feeding port of the automatic retail popcorn machine body 1, and the popcorn bucket 6 is placed inside the automatic retail popcorn machine body 1. When the customer needs to buy popcorn, he only needs to put a coin into the coin slot 4. At this time, a popcorn bucket 6 is transported into the automatic retail popcorn machine body 1 and falls into the inner side of the limit ring 53. Under the action of the guiding inclined surface at the top of the limit ring 53, the popcorn bucket 6 can easily enter the inner side of the limit ring 53. At this time, the popcorn pot of the automatic retail popcorn machine body 1 processes the corn, and the stirring rod stirs the corn heated inside the popcorn pot. After the corn is processed into popcorn, the popcorn pot is tilted so that the popcorn enters the popcorn bucket 6 through the conveying channel;
[0032] At this time, the controller inside the automatic retail popcorn machine body 1 controls the push rod end of the multi-stage electric push rod 510 to extend, and the push rod end of the multi-stage electric push rod 510 pushes the push plate 54 and the support rod 56 to move toward one side of the baffle 2. Since the cross plate 52 is a distance away from the baffle 2, the gear rod 59 is preferentially engaged with the gear 58. When the support rod 56 pushes the gear rod 59 to move, the baffle 2 is rotated around the rotating shaft 57 at this time, so that the baffle 2 leaves one side of the placement slot. When the baffle 2 is opened, the thrust of the multi-stage electric push rod 510 causes the cross plate 52 to drive the top popcorn bucket 6 and the popcorn to extend out of the inner side of the placement slot, so that the customer can easily take the popcorn bucket 6 filled with popcorn. The operation is simple and convenient, and the customer does not need to go deep into the automatic retail popcorn machine body 1 to take out the popcorn bucket 6, so as to avoid the customer's hand from coming into contact with the high-temperature popcorn in a small space when going deep into the inner side of the placement slot, thereby preventing the customer's hand from being scalded.
[0033] In summary, by pushing the popcorn bucket 6 and the popcorn out of the inner side of the placement slot through the multi-stage electric push rod 510, the customer can directly take the material from the outside without complicated operation process, making it simple and convenient to take popcorn. When taking popcorn, the customer does not need to put his hand into the automatic retail popcorn machine body 1, which avoids the risk of direct contact with high-temperature popcorn, thereby preventing the customer's hands from being scalded. The operation is simple and convenient, and the risk of hand scalding is avoided. The customer will feel more comfortable when using the automatic retail popcorn machine body 1, thereby enhancing the user experience.
