[0027] Embodiment:
[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-6 , a retail cabinet, including a cabinet body 1 and a cabinet door 2 hinged thereto. The other side of the cabinet door 2 is locked with the cabinet body 1 by an electric lock, which is convenient for the salesperson to replenish beverages. A pick-up opening 3 is provided at the bottom of the cabinet door 2. A plurality of groups of storage plates 5 are equidistantly arranged in the cabinet body 1 for placing various beverages. It further includes:
[0029] A buffer assembly 4 is provided in the cabinet body 1. The buffer assembly 4 includes a receiving plate 41. A rubber pad is provided on the top of the receiving plate 41 and the receiving plate 41 is arc-shaped; the arc-shaped receiving plate 41 is convenient for the beverage bottle to fall and be supported, and the rubber pad plays a preliminary buffering role.
[0030] Wherein, limiting blocks 11 are provided on both side walls in the cabinet body 1. A plurality of groups of balls 411 are rotatably connected to one side of the receiving plate 41 close to the cabinet door 2. The receiving plate 41 is located between the limiting block 11 and the cabinet door 2, and the balls 411 are in sliding fit with the inner wall of the cabinet door 2. By providing the balls 411, it is convenient for the receiving plate 41 to move down quickly, and at the same time, the friction between the receiving plate 41 and the inner wall of the cabinet door 2 is reduced, and the service life of the receiving plate 41 is prolonged.
[0031] An arc-shaped groove 21 is provided on the inner wall of the cabinet door 2. The receiving plate 41 is in sliding fit with the arc-shaped groove 21. By providing the arc-shaped groove 21, it is convenient for the receiving plate 41 to deflect when moving down to this position, facilitating the dropping of beverages.
[0032] Among them, two sets of symmetrical support seats 42 are installed at the bottom of the receiving plate 41. The support seats 42 are rotationally matched with the movable rods 44 through torsion springs 43. One end of the movable rod 44 away from the support seat 42 is hinged with a mounting seat 45. The mounting seat 45 is arranged on the top of the slider 46. A spring 47 is arranged on one side of the slider 46. The end of the spring 47 away from the slider 46 is fixed on the cabinet body 1.
[0033] Sliding grooves 12 are provided on both side walls inside the cabinet body 1. The slider 46 is slidably matched with the sliding groove 12. When the beverage falls onto the receiving plate 41, the spring 47 is compressed, and the slider 46 moves in the sliding groove 12. The receiving plate 41 moves vertically due to the limit of the limit block 11 and the cabinet door 2. When it reaches the arc groove 21, due to the gravity of the beverage, the receiving plate 41 flips, and the beverage drops. During this process, the dropping of the beverage is further buffered. After the beverage drops, the spring 47 recovers. At the same time, under the action of the torsion spring 43, the receiving plate 41 returns to the initial position along the arc groove 21, facilitating the buffering of the next beverage drop and preventing it from being damaged.
[0034] It further includes an object-taking seat 6, which is arranged inside the cabinet body 1. A curved surface 7 is provided on the object-taking seat 6. The curved surface 7 is arranged on the object-taking seat 6 on the side close to the cabinet door 2. The beverage drops into the object-taking seat 6 and slides down along the curved surface 7 to the middle, facilitating the taking out of the beverage.
[0035] A magnet 8 is arranged on the side of the object-taking seat 6 away from the cabinet door 2. The slider 46 is made of metal. After the spring 47 is squeezed and rebounds for a long time, it may not be able to make the receiving plate 41 return to the initial position due to deformation. The attraction of the magnet 8 to the slider 46 can make the slider 46 always return to the initial position after the spring 47 is compressed and rebounds, thus not affecting the subsequent falling of the beverage.
[0036] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements will not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
