Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of commodity pushing of vending machines, in particular to a U-shaped box loading channel for a vending machine. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, vending machines have made it convenient and fast to buy commodities and are very popular among consumers. However, limited by the pushing channels, the vending machines on the current market, whether they are spring channels, belt channels or hook channels, etc., cannot push suit commodities, soft-packaged commodities or commodities with irregular shapes. For example, a breakfast (including a bun, an egg, and a bowl of porridge), with the three items together, is difficult to place and push on the channels on the market. Soft-packaged commodities are prone to breakage and the pushing is inaccurate. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The utility model provides a U-shaped box loading channel for a vending machine. A variety of suit commodities, various soft-packaged or irregular commodities can be placed in the U-shaped box. The U-shaped box can be large or small and can be customized according to the size specifications of different commodities, and can be recycled and reused, greatly saving costs.

[0004] A U-shaped box loading channel for a vending machine includes a channel and a plurality of U-shaped boxes located in the channel. A rotating shaft is provided at the outlet of the channel, a magnet is arranged on the rotating shaft, a driving mechanism for driving the rotating shaft to rotate is arranged under the channel, an iron sheet matched with the magnet is arranged under the U-shaped box, and a positioning member is arranged at the outlet of the channel.

[0005] A slide rail matched with the iron sheet is arranged on the bottom plate of the channel.

[0006] The upper end of the slide rail is open or one end of the iron sheet is a guiding structure to facilitate the iron sheet to enter the slide rail.

[0007] Two slide bars are arranged on the bottom plate of the channel to reduce the friction between the U-shaped box and the bottom plate of the channel and have good sliding effect.

[0008] The driving mechanism is a driving motor arranged under the channel. A driven gear is arranged on the rotating shaft, and the driving gear of the driving motor is in chain transmission with the driven gear.

[0009] The driving motor is connected to the channel through a tensioning mechanism. The tensioning mechanism is a slider arranged under the channel and a sliding tube arranged on the slider. The sliding tube is connected to the driving motor through a connecting rod. A fixing member is arranged on the slider, and a screw on the fixing member is connected to the connecting rod.

[0010] The channel is inclined.

[0011] A U-shaped box guiding member is arranged at the outlet of the channel.

[0012] The ends of the U-shaped box guides are connected by a cross bar.

[0013] The magnet is connected to the rotating shaft through a connecting piece. The connecting piece is provided with an extension piece, and the extension piece is provided with a guide wheel. The guide wheel enables the next U-shaped box to slide smoothly in front of the positioning column.

[0014] A slow-down bag is provided in the picking bin. The slow-down bag is provided with a feed inlet matching the outlet of the goods channel. The feed inlet is provided with a shaping ring to facilitate the commodity to fall into the slow-down bag. The commodity falling into the slow-down bag plays a role in delaying the fall of the commodity to the bottom of the picking bin and preventing the commodity from being damaged; the shaping ring is connected to the goods channel through a connecting piece to play a role in fixing the direction of the feed inlet and further facilitating the commodity to fall into the slow-down bag. The slow-down bag is provided with a plurality of elastic contraction rings, with better slow-down effect and preventing the commodity from being damaged.

[0015] When in use, multiple goods channels can be combined for use. Each U-shaped box can be customized according to the size of the commodity. The commodity is placed in the U-shaped box. The goods channel is inclined. Each goods channel is provided with several U-shaped boxes. Each vending machine can be provided with multiple rows and multiple layers of goods channels, and each goods channel can place different commodities for selection.

[0016] When in use, the driving motor works to drive the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotating shaft drives the magnet to rotate. After the magnet flips the U-shaped box, the commodity in the U-shaped box falls into the picking bin. At this time, the driving motor drives the magnet to continue to rotate. The magnet attracts the iron sheet at the bottom of the U-shaped box and rotates. When encountering the obstruction of the cross bar, the U-shaped box and the magnet are separated and fall into the recycling bin (a baffle is provided under the outlet of the goods channel, a picking bin is provided on one side, and a recycling bin is provided on the other side), which is convenient for recycling the U-shaped box. The recycled U-shaped box can be recycled next time. Description of the Drawings

[0024] The following is a detailed description of this structure in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0025] Example 1: Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a U-shaped box loading channel of a vending machine includes a channel 1 and a plurality of U-shaped boxes 13 located in the channel 1. A rotating shaft 8 is provided at the outlet of the channel 1, a magnet 5 is provided on the rotating shaft 8, a driving mechanism 15 for driving the rotating shaft 8 to rotate is provided under the channel 1, an iron sheet 23 matching the magnet 5 is provided under the U-shaped box 13, and a positioning piece 7 is provided at the outlet of the channel 1.

[0026] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that a slide rail 3 matching the iron sheet 23 is provided on the bottom plate of the cargo channel 1 .

[0027] The difference between Example 3 and Example 2 is that the upper end of the slide rail 3 is open or one end of the iron sheet is a guide structure to facilitate the iron sheet 23 to enter the slide rail.

[0028] The difference between Example 4 and Example 3 is that two slide bars 2 are provided on the bottom plate of the cargo lane 1 to reduce the friction between the U-shaped box 13 and the bottom plate of the cargo lane 1, and the sliding effect is good.

[0029] The difference between Example 5 and Example 4 is that the driving mechanism 15 is a driving motor arranged under the cargo channel, a driven gear 6 is provided on the rotating shaft 8, and the driving gear 16 of the driving motor and the driven gear 6 are driven by a chain 17.

[0030] The difference between Example 6 and Example 5 is that the driving motor is connected to the cargo channel via a tensioning mechanism 14. The tensioning mechanism 14 is a slide 18 disposed under the cargo channel and a slide tube 19 disposed on the slide 18, the slide tube 19 is connected to the driving motor via a connecting rod 20, the slide 18 is provided with a fixing member 17, and the screw 22 on the fixing member 17 is connected to the connecting rod 20.

[0031] The difference between Example 7 and Example 6 is that the cargo aisle 1 is inclined and a support leg 12 is provided under the cargo aisle 1.

[0032] The difference between Example 8 and Example 6 is that a U-shaped box guide 9 is provided at the exit of the cargo channel 1.

[0033] The difference between Example 9 and Example 7 is that the ends of the U-shaped box guide 9 are connected by a cross bar 10.

[0034] The difference between Example 10 and Example 8 is that the magnet 5 is connected to the rotating shaft 8 via a connecting piece 11 , an extending piece 4 is provided on the connecting piece 11 , and a guide wheel 25 is provided on the extending piece 4 .

[0035] A descending bag 32 is provided in the pickup bin. An inlet 31 matching the outlet of the goods channel is provided on the descending bag 32.
