[0039] Embodiment 1

[0040] See Figures 1-3As shown in the figure, the heat-insulated delivery device includes a hopper 1 installed in the vending machine cabinet 7. The hopper 1 is communicated with the pick-up opening 8 of the vending machine. A delivery channel 2 is installed on one side of the hopper 1. An installation cavity 3 is recessed inward on the other side of the hopper 1. The installation cavity 3 is communicated with the delivery channel 2. A driving mechanism 5 is installed in the installation cavity 3. A heat-insulated door 4 is arranged between the installation cavity 3 and the delivery channel 2. The output end of the driving mechanism 5 is connected to the heat-insulated door 4.

[0041] The structure of this embodiment is simple. By setting the heat-insulated door 4 on the hopper 1 to isolate the installation cavity 3 from the delivery channel 2, the driving mechanism 5 will not be in a low-temperature environment for a long time, thus prolonging the service life of the driving mechanism 5, reducing the usage environment of the driving mechanism 5, and reducing the production cost. It should be noted that the low-temperature environment referred to in this embodiment means an environment with a temperature lower than 10°. It can be understood that the temperature inside a vending machine with a refrigeration or freezing function is usually lower, especially for a vending machine with a freezing function, the temperature inside the cabinet is lower than minus 18°. Therefore, through this setting, the requirements of the driving mechanism 5 for the environment can be reduced, and a driving mechanism 5 without anti-low-temperature function can be selected, thereby reducing costs. It can be understood that the driving mechanism 5 in this embodiment is a motor.

[0042] In a further specific embodiment, an installation seat 31 is arranged in the installation cavity 3. The installation seat 31 is provided with an installation groove 311. The driving mechanism 5 is rotatably installed in the installation groove 311. When the output end of the driving mechanism 5 pushes the heat-insulated door 4 to open and close, the driving mechanism 5 rotates in the installation groove 311, and the driving mechanism 5 is fixed on the hopper 1 through the installation seat 31.

[0043] The installation seat 31 is provided with two installation holes 312. The two installation holes 312 are respectively communicated with the installation groove 311. The driving mechanism 5 is provided with a first rotating shaft 51. The first rotating shaft 51 penetrates through the driving mechanism 5, and both ends of the first rotating shaft 51 are installed in the two installation holes 312 respectively.

[0044] Through the setting of the first rotating shaft 51, the driving mechanism 5 is rotatably installed on the installation seat 31. When the output end of the driving mechanism 5 extends to push the heat-insulated door 4 to close, the driving mechanism 5 rotates in the installation groove 311 through the first rotating shaft 51 and the installation holes 312.

[0045] In a further specific embodiment, a connecting seat 41 is installed on the heat-insulated door 4. The output end of the driving mechanism 5 is rotatably installed on the connecting seat 41. Through the setting of the connecting seat 41, when the output end of the driving mechanism 5 pushes the heat-insulated door 4 to open and close, the output end of the driving mechanism 5 rotates around the connecting seat 41.

[0046] In a further specific embodiment, a second rotating shaft 52 is provided at the output end of the driving mechanism 5. The second rotating shaft 52 penetrates through the output end of the driving mechanism 5. Connecting holes are formed on both sides of the connecting seat 41, and both ends of the second rotating shaft 52 are respectively installed in the two connecting holes. Through the arrangement of the second rotating shaft 52, the output end of the driving mechanism 5 is rotatably installed on the connecting seat 41. When the output end of the driving mechanism 5 pushes the heat-insulating door 4 to open and close, the output end of the driving mechanism 5 rotates on the mounting seat 31 through the second rotating shaft 52 and the connecting holes.

[0047] In a further specific embodiment, a cover plate 42 is provided on the heat-insulating door 4. The cover plate 42 covers the connecting seat 41, and an activity slot 421 for providing the activity of the output end of the driving mechanism 5 is formed on the cover plate 42. Through the arrangement of the cover plate 42, the connecting seat 41 is shielded, making the appearance of the entire hopper 1 more beautiful.

[0048] In a further specific embodiment, a heat-insulating layer is provided on the heat-insulating door 4. The heat-insulating layer is made of heat-insulating material, and a photoelectric detection mechanism 6 is provided in the installation cavity 3. Through the arrangement of the heat-insulating door 4, the temperature of the vending machine is kept warm, preventing the loss of internal temperature and avoiding excessive energy consumption.

[0049] In a further specific embodiment, the goods delivery channel 2 includes a sliding plate 21 and two side plates 22. The two side plates 22 are respectively connected to both sides of the sliding plate 21. The width of the sliding plate 21 and the two side plates 22 gradually decreases from top to bottom. Through this arrangement, the entire goods delivery channel 2 has a shape that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. As long as the goods fall into the goods delivery channel 2, they will gradually slide to the bottom of the goods delivery channel 2. At the same time, the goods delivery channel 2 will play a buffering role for the goods, avoiding too high a dropping distance and dropping angle and damaging the goods.

[0050] In a further specific embodiment, two mounting brackets 32 are provided in the installation cavity 3. The two mounting brackets 32 are respectively arranged on both sides of the heat-insulating door 4. A connecting shaft 43 is respectively provided on both sides of the heat-insulating door 4. The connecting shaft 43 is rotatably installed on the mounting bracket 32. This arrangement has a simple structure and strong practicability. Through the arrangement of the connecting shaft 43, the heat-insulating door 4 can rotate on the mounting bracket 32.
