Detailed implementation manners

[0022] Next, the technical solutions in this embodiment will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in this embodiment. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0023] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 shown, this embodiment discloses a vending cabinet, including a cabinet body 1, a driving device 2, a tray assembly 3, and a discharge hopper 4. The cabinet body 1 includes a commodity area 11, and a plurality of shelves 111 are arranged from top to bottom in the commodity area 11. The shelves 111 are provided with a plurality of spiral feeding devices capable of feeding commodities forward from the shelves 111. The driving device 2 is installed in the cabinet body 1. The driving device 2 includes a lead screw 21 and a guide rod 22. The lead screw 21 extends along the height direction of the commodity area 11. The tray assembly 3 can move up and down along the lead screw 21. The guide rod 22 is arranged parallel to the lead screw 21. The lead screw 21 is driven by a motor to rotate. The tray assembly 3 includes a housing 31. The housing 31 is provided with a threaded tube 311 and a guide tube 315. The threaded tube 311 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 21. The rotation of the lead screw 21 can drive the housing 31 to move up and down. The guide tube 315 is sleeved on the guide rod 22. The guide rod 22 plays a role in limiting the rotation direction and guiding the up and down movement of the driving device 2.

[0024] The tray assembly 3 includes a tray 32 and a torsion spring 33. The housing 31 includes two side plates 314. An unloading space 3141 is formed between the two side plates 314. The housing 31 includes a central shaft 312. The central shaft 312 is located at one end of the housing 31 away from the lead screw 21. The central shaft 312 is installed between the two side plates 314. The tray 32 is rotatably installed on the central shaft 312. The tray 32 can rotate around the central shaft 312. The torsion spring 33 is installed on the central shaft 312. The tray 32 is provided with a cylinder 322. The cylinder 322 is located on the lower end surface of the tray 32. The cylinder 322 is installed on the central shaft 312. Installation grooves 3221 are provided at both ends of the cylinder 322. The torsion spring 33 is located within the installation grooves 3221. The torsion spring 33 can be hidden inside the tray 32. A first card slot 3142 is formed on the inner wall of the side plate 314. A second card slot 324 is formed on the lower end surface of the tray 32. Both ends of the torsion spring 33 are respectively snapped into the first card slot 3142 and the second card slot 324. The torsion spring 33 can keep the tray 32 in a horizontal state and restore it after the tray 32 rotates.

[0025] The housing 31 is provided with an inclined plate 313. The inclined plate 313 is located at one end of the housing 31 close to the lead screw 21. The side of the inclined plate 313 away from the lead screw 21 forms the edge of the unloading space 3141 close to the lead screw 21. One end of the inclined plate 313 close to the unloading space 3141 slopes downward. The height of the end of the housing 31 provided with the inclined plate 313 is higher than that of the side plate 314. The connection between the housing 31 and the driving device 2 is more stable, making the structure of the entire housing 31 more firm. At the same time, the upper end surface of the inclined plate 313 can guide the goods on the side of the shelf 111 close to the lead screw 21 to fall onto the inclined plate 313 and then slide onto the tray 32, preventing the goods from staying on the tray assembly 3.

[0026] The tray 32 is provided with a baffle 321. The baffle 321 is located at one end of the tray away from the lead screw 21. The discharge hopper 4 includes a first side wall 41. The first side wall 41 is provided with a first inclined surface 411. The upper end of the first inclined surface 411 slopes in the direction away from the lead screw 21. When the tray assembly 3 descends while receiving goods, the baffle 321 abuts against the first inclined surface 411. Due to the continuous descent of the tray assembly 3, the baffle 321 abuts against the first inclined surface 411 and tilts. The end of the tray 32 close to the lead screw 21 rotates downward, opening the unloading space 3141. The goods on the upper end surface of the tray 32 slide down along the tray 32 and fall into the discharge hopper 4 below the tray 32.

[0027] More preferably, a limiting post 43 is provided inside the discharge hopper 4. The limiting post 43 forms a limit for the downward rotation of the tray 32. The limiting post 43 is provided with a triggering device. When the tray 32 abuts against the limiting post 43, the driving device 2 stops. The limiting post 43 plays a role in limiting the tilting angle of the tray 32.

[0028] The pallet 32 ​​includes a first state and a second state. In the first state, the pallet 32 ​​is horizontally arranged. The pallet 32 ​​is provided with a limit plate 323. The limit plate 323 is located at one end of the pallet 32 ​​close to the inclined plate 313. In the first state, the upper end surface of the limit plate 323 abuts against the inclined plate 313, and the pallet 32 ​​supported by the torsion spring 33 is limited to keep the pallet 32 ​​horizontal. The pallet 32 ​​closes the discharge space 3141. At this time, the driving device 2 can drive the tray assembly 3 to move to the shelf 111 where the goods are delivered. Corresponding to the lower position, the upper end surface of the pallet 32 ​​can support the shelf 111. The tray assembly 3 descends after receiving the goods. In the second state, the baffle 321 abuts against the first inclined surface 411. As the tray assembly 3 continues to descend, the baffle 321 abuts against the first inclined surface 411 and tilts. The goods on the upper end surface of the pallet 32 ​​slide down and are carried out of the hopper 4. After the discharge is completed, the driving device 2 lifts the tray assembly 3 so that the baffle 321 no longer abuts against the first inclined surface 411, and the pallet 32 ​​is restored to the first state by the force of the torsion spring 33.

[0029] More preferably, the discharge hopper 4 includes a second side wall 42, and the second side wall 42 is provided with a second inclined surface 421. The upper end of the second inclined surface 421 is inclined toward the direction close to the screw rod 21. In the second state, the end of the support plate 32 close to the screw rod 21 is located above the second inclined surface 421. The second inclined surface 421 has a buffering effect on the goods sliding down from the support plate 32, and can prevent the goods on the end of the support plate 32 away from the screw rod 21 from sliding down too fast and colliding and being damaged.

[0030] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
