[0002] A vending machine is a device that realizes commodity sales through automation technology and is widely used in various places, such as stations, shopping malls, office buildings, etc. The vending machine realizes the locking and unlocking of the door body through a door lock device.

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

[0004] However, the door lock device of the related 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 likely to form a gap with the box body under the action of external force, resulting in the theft of goods in the box body and reducing the anti-theft performance of the vending machine. Utility Model Content

[0005] The embodiments of the present application provide a vending machine, which can solve the technical problem of poor anti-theft performance of the related vending machine.

[0006] In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a vending machine, including:

[0007] A box body having a storage room with an opening at the front;

[0008] A door body having a hinge end and an opening end, the hinge end and the opening end being located at both ends in the width direction of the door body, the hinge end being hinged to the box body, and the door body being configured to open and close the storage room;

[0009] A door lock device including a locking component provided on the door body and a lock body component provided on the box body, the locking component and the lock body component being configured to lock the door body and the box body;

[0010] The locking component is provided at a position inside the door body near the opening end and is located between the top and bottom of the door body; the locking component includes a locking member and a reinforcing member connected to each other, the locking member is configured with a first lock hole, the reinforcing member is configured with a second lock hole, and the second lock hole corresponds to the first lock hole; when the door body closes the storage room, the first lock hole and the second lock hole are located inside the storage room;

[0011] The lock body component includes a lock core, a driving component, and a detector;

[0012] When the door body closes the storage room, the lock core corresponds to the first lock hole and the second lock hole respectively;

[0013] The driving component is in transmission connection with the lock core, and the driving component is electrically connected to the detector. The driving component is configured to drive the lock core to move into the first lock hole and the second lock hole along the locking direction when the detector detects that the locking component moves to the locking position, and part of the locking component stops at one end of the lock core away from the door body.

[0014] In the vending machine according to the embodiment of the present application, the locking component is arranged at the middle position of the opening end of the door body. When the lock body component and the locking component are locked, the height difference between the locking component and the bottom end of the door body is less 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 an external force is reduced, making it difficult for the goods in the box body to pass through this gap, reducing the possibility of the goods being stolen, and improving the anti-theft performance of the vending machine. In addition, when the lock core is inserted into the first lock hole and the second lock hole, part of the locking component stops at one end of the lock core away from the door body. At this time, it is difficult for the opening end to move in the direction away from the box body, increasing the difficulty of opening the storage room of the door body and improving the anti-theft performance of the vending machine.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present application, the lock core has ferromagnetism;

[0016] The driving component includes:

[0017] An electromagnet, which is configured with a movable channel. One end of the lock core away from the locking component is inserted into the movable channel. When the electromagnet is energized, the lock core moves along the movable channel towards the electromagnet under the action of the magnetic attraction of the electromagnet; a stop portion is arranged on the side wall of the lock core, and the stop portion and the electromagnet are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the lock core;

[0018] A spring, which is sleeved on the lock core. One end of the spring abuts against the electromagnet, and the other end abuts against the stop portion. The spring is compressed when the electromagnet is energized;

[0019] The electromagnet is configured to cut off the power supply when the detector detects that the locking component moves to the locking position, so that the lock core moves into the first lock hole and the second lock hole along the locking direction under the action of the spring force.

[0020] With such a setting, the electromagnet is configured to cut off the power supply when the detector detects that the locking component moves to the locking position. When the electromagnet is powered off, the magnetic attraction of the electromagnet on the lock core disappears, and the lock core moves in the direction away from the electromagnet into the first lock hole and the second lock hole under the action of the spring force, so that the lock core and the locking component are locked and matched.

[0021] When the electromagnet is energized, the lock core moves towards the electromagnet, so that the lock core moves out of the first lock hole and the second lock hole, and the lock core and the locking component are unlocked. At this time, the door body can be opened to the storage room under the action of an external force.

[0022] In some embodiments of the present application, the locking member includes a lock plate, and the first lock hole is formed in the lock plate;

[0023] The reinforcement member includes a reinforcement plate, and the reinforcement plate includes a limit plate body, a support plate body and a connection plate body connected to each other;

[0024] The limiting plate body and the locking plate are spaced apart along the height direction of the box body, and the second locking hole is configured in the limiting plate body;

[0025] The support plate body is connected to at least a portion of the circumferential edge of the limiting plate body, the support plate body is supported between the limiting plate body and the locking plate, the support plate body, the limiting plate body and the locking plate enclose a chamber, and the first locking hole is connected to the chamber;

[0026] The connecting plate body is connected to one end of the supporting plate body close to the locking plate, and the connecting plate body and the locking plate are fixedly connected.

[0027] With such arrangement, after the lock core is inserted into the first lock hole and the second lock hole, part of the lock plate is stopped at the end of the lock core facing away from the door body, and part of the limiting plate body is also stopped at the end of the lock core facing away from the door body. Moreover, since a cavity is separated between the lock plate and the limiting plate body, the height between the stop positions of the lock plate and the limiting plate body relative to the lock core is increased, which is equivalent to increasing the stopping strength of the lock core, increasing the locking effect between the lock core and the locking component, and further improving the anti-theft performance of the vending machine.

[0028] In some embodiments of the present application, the locking component further includes a mounting seat, and the locking member and the reinforcing member are disposed on the mounting seat at one end close to the door body;

[0029] The mounting seat is configured with a first assembly hole, and the door body is configured with a second assembly hole, the second assembly hole corresponds to the first assembly hole, and the mounting seat and the door body are fixedly connected by fasteners penetrating through the first assembly hole and the second assembly hole.

[0030] By so arranging, the locking component can be detachably arranged on the door body.

[0031] In some embodiments of the present application, the lock body component also includes a lock shell, the drive assembly and the detector are arranged in the lock shell, and the lock shell is arranged on the inner wall of the box away from the hinged end.

[0032] With such a configuration, when assembling the lock body and the box, it is only necessary to fix the lock shell to the inner side wall of the box, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the lock body and the box. In addition, the drive assembly and the detector are hidden in the lock shell, which protects the drive assembly and the detector on the one hand, and improves the decorative effect of the vending machine on the other hand.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present application, the inner wall of the box body away from the hinged end is constructed with a recessed portion, which is recessed in a direction away from the storage chamber. Part of the lock shell is arranged in the recessed portion, and the lock core is located in the storage chamber outside the recessed portion.

[0034] Such an arrangement reduces the length of the lock shell extending into the storage chamber along the width direction of the box body, and reduces the space of the storage chamber occupied by the lock shell.

[0035] 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, and the first inner side wall and the second inner side wall are located on both sides of the lock housing along the width direction of the box body. One ends of the inner top wall, the first inner side wall, and the second inner side wall away from the door body enclose a maintenance opening.

[0036] With such a setting, when the lock body components fail or are damaged, the driving components and detectors in the housing can be repaired or replaced through the maintenance opening, improving the inspection efficiency of the lock body components.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present application, 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 driving component is arranged on the top of the lock housing, and the outer wall of the driving component abuts against the spacer, so that there is a gap between the driving component and part of the lock housing.

[0038] With such a setting, the gap between the driving component and the lock housing can facilitate the removal of the driving component from the lock housing for inspection of the driving component.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present application, the door body includes a frame and a light-transmitting plate. The frame surrounds the periphery of the light-transmitting plate, and the locking component is arranged on the frame.

[0040] With such a setting, it is convenient to observe the types and positions of goods in the storage room through the light-transmitting plate. The locking component is arranged on the frame, reducing the possibility of the locking component blocking the light-transmitting plate, making it easier for consumers to observe the types and positions of goods in the storage room through the light-transmitting plate.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, the vending machine further includes a refrigeration device. The refrigeration device is arranged in the box body and is configured to provide cold air to the storage room.

[0042] With such a setting, the vending machine can refrigerate the storage room to meet the requirements of the goods for the storage temperature. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0077] 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.

[0078] In view of this, in the vending machine of the embodiment of the present application, the locking component is arranged at the middle position of the door opening end. When the lock body component and the locking component are locked, the height difference between the locking component and the bottom end of the door body is less 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, so that it is not easy for the goods in the box body to pass through the gap, which reduces the possibility of the goods being stolen and improves the anti-theft performance of the vending machine. In addition, when the lock core is inserted into the first lock hole and the second lock hole, part of the locking component stops at the end of the lock core away from the door body. At this time, it is difficult for the door opening end to move in the direction away from the box body, which increases the difficulty of the door body 20 to open the storage chamber and improves the anti-theft performance of the vending machine.

Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0086] Referring to Figure 1 , the vending machine according to the embodiment of the present application includes a box body 10, and the box body 10 has a storage chamber 101 for placing goods. A goods access opening 102 is formed at the front of the storage chamber 101, and the goods in the storage chamber 101 are taken and placed through the goods access opening 102.

[0087] In the description of the present application, the orientation "front" is from one end far away from the goods access opening 102 to the end close to the goods access opening 102 along the depth direction Y of the box body 10. The orientation "rear" is from the end close to the goods access opening 102 to the end far away from the goods access opening 102 along the depth direction Y of the box body 10.

[0088] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the vending machine further includes a door body 20.

[0089] The door body 20 has a hinged end 201, and the hinged end 201 is located at one end of the door body 20 along its own width direction. The hinged end 201 is hinged to the box body 10 so that the door body 20 can rotate relative to the box body 10 to open or close the storage chamber 101.

[0090] Among them, when the door body 20 closes the storage chamber 101, referring to Figure 2 , the width direction of the door body 20 is the same as the width direction X of the box body 10.

[0091] The door body 20 has an opening end 202, and the opening end 202 and the hinged end 201 are respectively located at both ends of the door body 20 along its own width direction. By applying an external force to the opening end 202, the door body 20 can be opened or closed to the storage chamber 101.

[0092] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the above-mentioned door body 20 may include a frame 210 and a light-transmitting plate 220. The frame 210 can be made of materials such as metal, alloy or plastic. The frame 210 surrounds the light-transmitting plate 220. The frame 210 is hinged to the box body 10. The light-transmitting plate 220 has light-transmitting properties, and the light-transmitting plate 220 can be a glass plate or a transparent plastic plate, etc. Through the light-transmitting plate 220, it is convenient to observe the types and positions of the goods in the storage chamber 101.

[0093] In some embodiments, the vending machine further includes a refrigeration device.

[0094] The refrigeration device may be disposed within the cabinet 10. The refrigeration device may be a refrigeration device in the related art. The refrigeration device is configured to provide cold air to the storage chamber 101 to lower the temperature within the storage chamber 101 and meet the requirements of the goods for the storage temperature.

[0095] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 , the vending machine further includes a door lock device 30.

[0096] The door lock device 30 includes a locking member 40 disposed on the door body 20 and a lock body member 50 disposed on the cabinet 10.

[0097] In some embodiments, the locking member 40 may be disposed on the frame 210, reducing the possibility that the locking member 40 blocks the light-transmitting plate 220, making it easier for consumers to observe the types and positions of the goods within the storage chamber 101 through the light-transmitting plate 220.

[0098] The lock body member 50 may be disposed on the inner side wall 103 of the cabinet 10 away from the hinge end 201. The lock body member 50 may be close to the front end of the cabinet 10, and when the door body 20 closes the storage chamber 101, the lock body member 50 is close to the locking member 40.

[0099] When the door body 20 closes the storage chamber 101 and the lock body member 50 and the locking member 40 are locked and engaged, at this time, the door body 20 is not easily rotated relative to the cabinet 10, and the storage chamber 101 remains in a closed state to achieve the locking of the door body 20.

[0100] When the lock body member 50 and the locking member 40 are unlocked, at this time, the door body 20 can be rotated relative to the cabinet 10, so that the storage chamber 101 can be opened to pick up and place the goods within the storage chamber 101.

[0101] In the vending machine according to the embodiment of the present application, the locking member 40 is disposed inside the door body 20, at a position close to the opening end 202, and the locking member 40 is located between the top end and the bottom end of the door body 20. That is to say, the height difference between the locking member 40 and the bottom end of the door body 20 is less than the height difference between the top end and the bottom end of the door body 20, reducing the gap formed between the bottom end of the door body 20 and the cabinet 10 under the action of an external force, increasing the difficulty for the goods within the cabinet 10 to pass through this gap, reducing the possibility of theft of the goods, and improving the anti-theft performance of the vending machine.

[0102] In some embodiments, the locking member 40 may include a locking element.

[0103] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5, the locking member can be a locking plate 410, and the locking plate 410 is plate-shaped.

[0104] In some other embodiments, the locking member can be strip-shaped, and the locking member extends along the thickness direction of the door body 20.

[0105] Wherein, when the door body 20 closes the storage chamber 101, refer to Figure 2 , the thickness direction of the door body 20 is consistent with the width-depth direction Y of the box body 10.

[0106] Refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , a first lock hole 411 can be provided on the above-mentioned locking member (locking plate 410). The first lock hole 411 can extend substantially along the height direction Z of the box body 10. When the door body 20 closes the storage chamber 101, the first lock hole 411 is located inside the storage chamber 101.

[0107] In some embodiments, the locking component 40 can include a reinforcing member.

[0108] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the reinforcing member can be a reinforcing plate 420, and the reinforcing plate 420 is plate-shaped.

[0109] In some other embodiments, the reinforcing member can be strip-shaped, and the reinforcing member extends along the thickness direction of the door body 20.

[0110] Refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , a second lock hole 424 can be provided on the above-mentioned reinforcing member (reinforcing plate 420). The second lock hole 424 corresponds to the first lock hole 411 along the height direction Z of the box body 10. When the door body 20 closes the storage chamber 101, the second lock hole 424 is also located inside the storage chamber 101.

[0111] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the lock body component 50 can include a lock core 510.

[0112] The lock core 510 can be columnar, and the lock core 510 can extend substantially along the height direction Z of the box body 10.

[0113] When the door body 20 closes the storage chamber 101, the lock core 510 can be located above or below the locking component 40.

[0114] In some embodiments, the lock body component 50 can include a driving assembly 520. The driving assembly 520 is arranged on the box body 10. The driving assembly 520 is in transmission connection with the lock core 510 to move the lock core 510 along its own axis direction.

[0115] In some embodiments, the lock body component 50 may include a detector 530. The detector 530 may be a position sensor, a camera, or the like. The detector 530 is used to detect the position of the locking component 40.

[0116] Reference Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 When the detector 530 detects that the locking component 40 is in the locked position, it indicates that the door body 20 has normally closed the storage chamber 101. That is to say, when the door body 20 closes the storage chamber 101, the locking component 40 is in the locked position.

[0117] The driving component 520 is electrically connected to the detector 530. The driving component 520 is configured to, when the detector 530 detects that the locking component 40 moves to the locked position, reference Figure 8 , drive the lock core 510 to move along the locking direction D1 so that the lock core 510 moves into the first lock hole 411 and the second lock hole 424. Reference Figure 5 , since the lock core 510 is inserted into the first lock hole 411 and the second lock hole 424, part of the locking component 40 stops at one end of the lock core 510 facing away from the door body 20. At this time, it is difficult for the opening end 202 to move in the direction away from the box body 10, increasing the difficulty of opening the storage chamber 101 by the door body 20 and improving the anti-theft performance of the vending machine.

[0118] Reference Figure 5 , after the lock core 510 is inserted into the first lock hole 411 and the second lock hole 424, part of the lock plate 410 stops at one end of the lock core 510 facing away from the door body 20, and moreover, part of the reinforcing plate 420 also stops at one end of the lock core 510 facing away from the door body 20, improving the stopping strength and stability of the locking component 40 against the lock core 510 and increasing the difficulty of detachment between the lock core 510 and the locking component 40, further improving the anti-theft performance of the vending machine.

[0119] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 , the reinforcing plate 420 may include a limiting plate body 421. The limiting plate body 421 may be substantially flush with the lock plate 410. The limiting plate body 421 and the lock plate 410 are spaced apart along the height direction Z of the box body 10. The second lock hole 424 may be formed in the limiting plate body 421.

[0120] The reinforcing plate 420 may include a supporting plate body 422. There may be at least two supporting plate bodies 422. The supporting plate bodies 422 are connected to at least a part of the circumferential edge of the limiting plate body 421. The supporting plate bodies 422 are supported between the limiting plate body 421 and the locking plate 410. The supporting plate bodies 422, the limiting plate body 421 and the locking plate 410 enclose a chamber 425. The first locking hole 411 communicates with the chamber 425. The second locking hole 424 communicates with the chamber 425.

[0121] The reinforcing plate 420 may include a connecting plate body 423. The connecting plate body 423 is connected to one end of the supporting plate body 422 close to the locking plate 410. The limiting plate body 421, the supporting plate bodies 422 and the connecting plate body 423 may be integrally formed.

[0122] The connecting plate body 423 is fixedly connected to the locking plate 410.

[0123] In Example 1, the connecting plate body 423 may be provided with a fourth assembly hole 426, the locking plate 410 may be provided with a third assembly hole 412, and the connecting plate body 423 and the locking plate 410 may be fixedly connected by fasteners (such as screws or rivets) passing through the fourth assembly hole 426 and the third assembly hole 412.

[0124] In Example 2, the connecting plate body 423 and the locking plate 410 may be fixedly connected by welding.

[0125] Reference Figure 5 , after the lock core 510 is inserted into the first locking hole 411 and the second locking hole 424, a part of the locking plate 410 stops at one end of the lock core 510 facing away from the door body 20, and a part of the limiting plate body 421 also stops at one end of the lock core 510 facing away from the door body 20. Moreover, since there is a chamber 425 between the locking plate 410 and the limiting plate body 421, the height between the stopping positions of the locking plate 410 and the limiting plate body 421 on the lock core 510 is increased, which is equivalent to increasing the stopping strength on the lock core 510, enhancing the locking effect between the lock core 510 and the locking component 40, and further improving the anti-theft performance of the vending machine.

[0126] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the locking component 40 may further include a mounting seat 430. The mounting seat 430 may be in a plate shape.

[0127] In other embodiments, the mounting seat 430 may be in a sheet shape, a block shape or other shapes, etc.

[0128] One end of the locking plate 410 and the reinforcing plate 420 close to the door body 20 is arranged on the mounting seat 430. Exemplarily, one end of the locking plate 410 and the reinforcing plate 420 close to the door body 20 may be welded to the mounting seat 430, or one end of the locking plate 410 and the reinforcing plate 420 close to the door body 20 may be riveted to the locking plate 410.

[0129] The mounting base 430 is configured with a first assembly hole 431, and the door body is configured with a second assembly hole. The second assembly hole corresponds to the first assembly hole 431. The mounting base 430 and the door body 20 are fixedly connected by fasteners (which can be fastening bolts or rivets, etc.) passing through the first assembly hole 431 and the second assembly hole, so as to detachably arrange the locking member 40 on the door body 20.

[0130] In some other embodiments, the lock plate 410 and the reinforcing plate 420 can be welded to the door body 20.

[0131] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 9 , the driving assembly 20 can include an electromagnet 521. When the electromagnet 521 is energized, the electromagnet 521 generates a magnetic field and has magnetism, so it can attract ferromagnetic objects. After the electromagnet 521 is powered off, the magnetic field disappears and it has no magnetism.

[0132] The electromagnet 521 can be configured with a movable channel 523, and the movable channel 523 can extend substantially along the height direction Z of the box body 10.

[0133] The lock core 510 can be ferromagnetic, and a part of the lock core 510 is inserted into a part of the movable channel 523.

[0134] When the electromagnet 521 is energized, the lock core 510 moves towards the electromagnet 521 under the magnetic attraction of the electromagnet 521, that is, moves in the opposite direction D2 of the locking direction, increasing the length of the lock core 510 inserted into the movable channel 523. When the total length of the lock core 510 remains unchanged, the length of the lock core 510 outside the movable channel 523 is reduced.

[0135] A stop portion 511 is provided on the side wall of the lock core 510 outside the movable channel 523. The stop portion 511 can be an annular stop block or a stop protrusion, etc. The stop portion 511 and the electromagnet 521 are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the lock core 510.

[0136] The driving assembly 520 further includes a spring 522. The spring 522 is sleeved on the lock core 510, and one end of the spring 522 abuts against the electromagnet 521, and the other end abuts against the stop portion 511. The spring 522 is compressed when the electromagnet 521 is energized.

[0137] The electromagnet 521 is configured to be powered off when the detector 530 detects that the locking member 40 moves to the locking position. When the electromagnet 521 is powered off, the magnetic attraction of the electromagnet 521 on the lock core 510 disappears, and the lock core 510 moves in the direction away from the electromagnet 521 (locking direction D1) under the elastic force of the spring 522 into the first lock hole 411 and the second lock hole 424, referring to Figure 5 , so that the lock core 510 and the locking member 40 are locked and cooperated.

[0138] When the electromagnet 521 is energized, the lock core 510 moves towards the electromagnet 521 so that the lock core 510 is removed from the first lock hole 411 and the second lock hole 424. Refer to Figure 8 , the lock core 510 and the locking member 40 are unlocked, and at this time, the door body 20 can be opened under the action of an external force to open the storage room 101.

[0139] In some other embodiments, the driving assembly 520 can be an electric push rod or other linear actuators. Taking the driving assembly 520 as an electric push rod as an example, the electric push rod has a telescopic rod, and the telescopic rod extends along the height direction Z of the box body 10, and the lock core 510 can be arranged at the end of the telescopic rod.

[0140] The electric push rod is configured to push the telescopic rod to make the lock core 510 move towards the locking member 40 when the detector 530 detects that the locking member 40 moves to the locking position, and insert it into the first lock hole 411 and the second lock hole 424, so that the lock core 510 and the locking member 40 are locked and matched.

[0141] In some embodiments, the door lock device 30 can include a door lock controller, and the door lock controller can be arranged on the box body 10.

[0142] 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 locking member 40 to the door lock controller.

[0143] The driving assembly 520 is electrically connected to the door lock controller.

[0144] The door lock controller is configured to judge whether the position of the locking member 40 is the locking position, and when the position of the locking member 40 is the locking position, control the driving assembly 520 to drive the lock core 510 to move along the locking direction D1, so that the lock core 510 moves into the first lock hole 411 and the second lock hole 424, and realizes the locking and matching of the lock core 510 and the locking member 40.

[0145] In some other possible implementation manners of the embodiments of the present application, the vending machine can include a main controller. The main controller is configured to control the program operation and function implementation of the entire vending machine. The main controller can be arranged on the box body 10.

[0146] The detector 530 can be directly electrically connected to the main controller, so that there is no need to additionally set a door lock controller in the door lock device 30, which simplifies the structures of the entire vending machine and the door lock device 30.

[0147] The detector 530 is configured to send the detected position information of the locking member 40 to the main controller.

[0148] The driving component 520 is electrically connected to the main controller, and the main controller is configured to determine whether the position of the locking component 40 is the locking position. When the position of the locking component 40 is the locking position, the main controller controls the driving component 520 to drive the lock core 510 to move along the locking direction D1, so that the lock core 510 moves into the first lock hole 411 and the second lock hole 424, realizing the locking cooperation between the lock core 510 and the locking component 40.

[0149] The driving component 520 in the above embodiment is further configured to drive the lock core 510 to move along the reverse direction D2 of the locking direction when receiving an opening signal, so that the lock core 510 moves out of the first lock hole 411 and the second lock hole 424, and the lock core 510 and the locking component 40 are unlocked.

[0150] Among them, the opening signal can be sent by a mobile terminal (such as a mobile phone, a smart bracelet, etc.) to the main controller by scanning a two-dimensional code on the vending machine. The opening signal can also be transmitted to the main controller by a consumer through the display screen, buttons or touch screen of the vending machine.

[0151] In some embodiments, the detector 530 can be disposed on the inner side wall 103 of the box body 10 away from the hinge end 201, and the detection end of the detector 530 faces away from the inner side wall 103. The detection end of the detector 530 faces the locking component 40 when the door body 20 closes the storage chamber.

[0152] When the locking component 40 is in the locking position, that is, when the door body 20 closes the storage chamber 101, the detection end of the detector 530 and a part of the locking component 40 correspond to each other in the width direction X of the box body 10.

[0153] Since the detector 530 is located on the inner side wall 103 of the box body 10 away from the hinge end 201, the inner side wall 103 is close to the opening end 202 of the door body 20 when the door body 20 closes the storage chamber 101, and the locking component 40 is close to the opening end 202 of the door body 20. Therefore, when the door body 20 closes the storage chamber 101, the distance between the detector 530 and the locking component 40 is small, improving the accuracy of the detection result of the detector 530.

[0154] In some embodiments, referring Figure 5 、 Figure 8 and Figure 10 , the lock body component 50 may include a lock case 540, and the lock case 540 is disposed on the inner side wall of the box body 10 away from the hinge end 201.

[0155] The driving component 520 and the detector 530 can be disposed in the lock case 540. When assembling the lock body component 50 and the box body 10, it is only necessary to fixedly dispose the lock case 540 on the inner side wall 103 of the box body 10, improving the assembly efficiency of the lock body component 50 and the box body 10.

[0156] In addition, the driving component 520 and the detector 530 are hidden inside the lock housing 540, which on the one hand protects the driving component 520 and the detector 530, and on the other hand improves the decorative effect of the vending machine.

[0157] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 8 the inner side wall 103 of the box body 10 away from the hinged end 201 may be configured with a recess 104 that recesses away from the storage chamber 101.

[0158] Part of the lock housing 540 is disposed in the recess 104 to reduce the length of the lock housing 540 extending into the storage chamber 101 along the width direction X of the box body 10, and reduce the space occupied by the lock housing 540 in the storage chamber 101.

[0159] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 10 the lock housing 540 may have an inner top wall 541, a first inner side wall 542, and a second inner side wall 543, where the inner top wall 541 is located at the inner top of the lock housing 540. The first inner side wall 542 and the second inner side wall 543 are located on both sides of the lock housing 540 along the width direction X of the box body 10. One end of the inner top wall 541, the first inner side wall 542, and the second inner side wall 543 away from the door body 20 encloses a maintenance opening 544.

[0160] When the lock body component 50 fails or is damaged, the driving component 520, the detector 530, etc. inside the housing can be repaired or replaced through the maintenance opening 544, improving the maintenance efficiency of the lock body component 50.

[0161] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 10 at least one of the inner top wall 541, the first inner side wall 542, and the second inner side wall 543 is provided with a spacer 545, and the spacer 545 can be a spacer block or a spacer bar, etc. The driving component 520 can be disposed on the top of the lock housing 540, and the outer wall of the driving component 520 abuts against the spacer 545, so that there is a gap between the driving component 520 and part of the lock housing 540, facilitating the removal of the driving component 520 from the lock housing 540 for maintenance of the driving component 520.
