[0025] Embodiment 1: A storage device for a vending machine, such as Figure 1-Figure 2As shown, it includes a device body 1 and a plurality of shelf boards 2 arranged inside the device body 1, a first baffle plate 4 and a second baffle plate 5 are fixedly and slidably arranged above the shelf boards 2, and each of the first baffle plate 4 and the second baffle plate 5 forms a group, a scanning device 14 is slidably installed on one side surface of the shelf board 2, and a scanning plate 16 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the scanning device 14, and the scanning plate 16 is used to scan the magnetic strip on the goods, by arranging the first baffle plate 4 and the second baffle plate 5 as a group, and forming a cargo aisle between the first baffle plate 4 and the second baffle plate 5 for placing goods, by arranging the second baffle plate 5 to be slidably connected with the shelf board 2, when the staff starts the device for setting the drive, the second baffle plate 5 moves horizontally, so that the distance between the first baffle plate 4 and the second baffle plate 5 is reduced or increased, so that the width of the cargo aisle is changed, so that it can hold goods of any size, and A scanning device 14 is provided, and the tail ends of the goods placed in the device body 1 are affixed with magnetic strips. When the user has completed payment, the goods will fall by setting a driving device, and the driving device is electrically connected to the scanning device 14, so that when the driving device is working, the scanning device 14 starts to work, and the scanning device 14 is electrically connected to the scanning board 16, so that the scanning board 16 works at the same time. At this time, when the goods fall, the scanning board 16 will scan the magnetic stripe at the tail end of the goods. If the scanning board 16 does not scan the magnetic stripe on the goods within a set period of time after the user has completed payment, it indicates that the goods may be stuck. At this time, the user presses the button on the device body 1 to make the driving device work, drive the scanning device 14 to move vertically, push the goods, and make them fall smoothly, so as to avoid the goods being stuck and causing property loss to the user.

[0026] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a device box 3 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the shelf board 2, and the No. 1 baffle plate 4 and the No. 2 baffle plate 5 extend into the device box 3, and a threaded rod 6 is rotatably installed inside the device box 3, and the threaded rod 6 is rotatably connected to the No. 1 baffle plate 4, and the threaded rod 6 is threadedly screwed to the No. 2 baffle plate 5, and one end of the threaded rod 6 is fixedly connected to a No. 1 driving device 7. By setting the No. 1 driving device 7, and the output end of the No. 1 driving device 7 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 6, when the staff turns on the No. 1 driving device 7, the threaded rod 6 rotates, and the threaded rod 6 is rotatably connected to the No. 1 baffle plate 4, and is threadedly screwed to the No. 2 baffle plate 5, so that the rotation of the threaded rod 6 has no effect on the No. 1 baffle plate 4, and the No. 2 baffle plate 5 moves horizontally, so that the distance between the No. 1 baffle plate 4 and the No. 2 baffle plate 5 changes, so that the cargo aisle can meet the needs of goods of various sizes.

[0027] Embodiment 2: A storage device for a vending machine, such as Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, a hole 301 is provided on one side of the device box 3, a sliding guide groove 11 is provided on the inner wall of the device box 3, and a second baffle plate 5 is slidably connected inside the sliding guide groove 11. A horizontal plate 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the shelf plate 2, and at least two electric telescopic rods 15 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the horizontal plate 13. The upper end of the electric telescopic rod 15 is fixedly installed with the scanning device 14. By setting the hole 301 and the sliding guide groove 11, the second baffle plate 5 can move horizontally more smoothly when the threaded rod 6 rotates. By setting the electric telescopic rod Retract the rod 15. When the scanning plate 16 on the scanning device 14 does not scan the magnetic stripe on the goods, the user presses the button on the device body 1 to power on the electric telescopic rod 15, so that the electric telescopic rod 15 is extended, thereby lifting the scanning device 14 to make it move vertically, thereby pushing the stuck goods to make them fall. When the scanning plate 16 scans the magnetic stripe, it sends an electrical signal to the electric telescopic rod 15 to make it descend. This situation is suitable for the situation where the user presses the button to raise the electric telescopic rod 15.

[0028] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a threaded push rod 12 is provided at the upper end of the shelf plate 2, and a connecting plate 10 is fixedly installed at one end of the threaded push rod 12, and a rotating shaft 9 is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting plate 10 away from the threaded push rod 12, and the rotating shaft 9 extends to the outside of the device box 3, and a No. 2 driving device 8 is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating shaft 9 away from the connecting plate 10, and a flip plate 101 is rotatably installed on the lower half of the device body 1. By setting the No. 2 driving device 8, and the rotating shaft 9 is fixedly installed at the output end of the No. 2 driving device 8, and the rotating shaft 9 is fixedly connected to the threaded push rod 12 through the connecting plate 10, when the user completes the payment, the No. 2 driving device 8 works, so that the rotating shaft 9 rotates, and at the same time drives the threaded push rod 12 to rotate, thereby pushing the goods placed in the threaded push rod 12 forward until it falls, and the user can obtain the goods from the flip plate 101, and when the No. 2 driving device 8 is working, an electrical signal is sent to the scanning device 14 to make it work as well, so that the scanning device 14 can scan the items in time.

[0029] Working principle: When the staff starts the device for setting the drive, the second baffle 5 moves horizontally, so that the distance between the first baffle 4 and the second baffle 5 is reduced or increased, so that the width of the cargo channel changes, so that it can put down any size of goods. By setting a scanning device 14, the tail ends of the goods put into the device body 1 are affixed with magnetic strips. When the user completes the payment, the goods will fall through the device for setting the drive, and the device for setting the drive is connected with the scanning device 14 by electrical signals, so that when the device for setting the drive is moved, the goods will fall down. When the scanning device 14 is working, the scanning device 14 starts to work, and the scanning device 14 is connected to the scanning board 16 by electrical signals. At this time, when the goods fall, the scanning board 16 will scan the magnetic stripe at the end of the goods. If the scanning board 16 does not scan the magnetic stripe on the goods within a certain set time after the user completes the payment, it means that the goods may be stuck. At this time, the user presses the button on the device body 1 to make the driving device work, drive the scanning device 14 to move vertically, push the goods, and make them fall smoothly, so as to avoid the goods being stuck and causing property loss to the user.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
