Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vending cabinets, in particular to a slope visible goods channel mechanism for an intelligent vending cabinet. Background Technique

[0002] The goods channel mechanism of an intelligent vending cabinet is a key component, playing multiple important roles, from commodity storage and management to key steps in transaction completion. Its structure is precise and usually includes components such as a shelf, an electric push plate, sensors, a control system, and a safety device. The shelf provides the basis for supporting and storing goods. The electric push plate is driven by the control system to achieve an automated commodity extraction process. The sensors monitor the inventory situation and the position of goods to ensure real-time data update and management. The safety device ensures safety during the operation process. The main workflow is to receive an order, select a suitable goods channel according to the order, push the goods, and complete the transaction. The whole process is integrated with efficient automated design and electronic payment;

[0003] For example, a goods channel division mechanism of an intelligent vending cabinet disclosed in the authorized publication number CN218122726U includes a storage board. The bottom of the storage board is rotatably connected to a base through a rotating shaft. An isolation board is placed on the inner wall of the storage board. A driving component is installed on the surface of the isolation board. A moving board is installed on the surface of the driving component. A pushing component is installed on the surface of the moving board. A shell is welded to the front of the isolation board. A first slot is opened on the front side of the bottom of the storage board. It solves the problem that the width of the existing goods channel of an intelligent vending cabinet is fixed. If the size of the commodity is quite different from the width of the goods channel, the goods channel cannot effectively fix the position of the commodity, resulting in a skew phenomenon in the stacking of commodities in the goods channel. However, when controlling the inclination state of the goods channel according to the volume specification and weight specification of the goods, the staff manually debug through the screw rod adjusting component before loading goods. That is, when the types of commodities or inventory requirements in the intelligent vending cabinet change, it is necessary to timely adjust the inclination state of the goods channel to adapt to the new situation. At this time, the staff needs to invest a lot of time and energy to ensure that the adjustment of each goods channel is accurate.

Specific embodiments

[0018] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , an embodiment provided by the present utility model: a slope - visible cargo channel mechanism for a smart vending cabinet, including an inverted I - shaped truss 1 and side sheet metal seats 2 integrally formed on the outer walls on both sides of the inverted I - shaped truss 1. A cargo channel main board 4 is arranged above the inverted I - shaped truss 1. The cargo channel main board 4 is made of hard plastic material, and the length of the cargo channel main board 4 is 80 cm to 150 cm;

[0020] On the outer walls of the two opposite sides of the two side sheet metal seats 2, electric flipping mechanisms for controlling the inclination state of the cargo channel main board 4 are installed. On the surface of the cargo channel main board 4, there are several mutually parallel and completely penetrating rectangular notch grooves 7. There are four rectangular notch grooves 7, and the four rectangular notch grooves 7 are symmetrically structured with respect to the vertical central reference plane of the cargo channel main board 4;

[0021] Inside the rectangular notch groove 7, a double-layer rack 8 is installed, and inside the double-layer rack 8, a belt-type shipping mechanism 9 for storing and transporting goods is installed. The upper surface of the double-layer rack 8 is flush with the upper surface of the goods channel main board 4. On one side of the surface of the inverted I-shaped truss 1, a motor controller 5 is installed. The output end of the motor controller 5 is electrically connected to the input ends of the electric flipping mechanism and the belt-type shipping mechanism 9;

[0022] The electric flipping mechanism includes an electric push rod 3 hinged at the bottom of the side sheet metal seat 2 and a swing arm 6 installed at the top end of the inverted I-shaped truss 1 through a U-shaped seat and a hinge shaft. The upper surface of the swing arm 6 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the goods channel main board 4. The top end of the piston rod of the electric push rod 3 is hinged to one end of the swing arm 6. When the electric flipping mechanism works, the motor in the electric push rod 3 is controlled by the motor controller 5 to work, then the piston rod of the electric push rod 3 expands and contracts. When the piston rod of the electric push rod 3 extends and pushes the swing arm 6 to swing upward, the end of the goods channel main board 4 away from the inverted I-shaped truss 1 will tilt downward, so that the goods channel main board 4 and the belt-type shipping mechanism 9 form a slope. When the goods inside the vending cabinet need to be adjusted or replaced, the automated tilt adjustment can respond more quickly;

[0023] After the goods channel main board 4 and the belt-type shipping mechanism 9 are tilted, the purchaser can more comprehensively observe the goods on the goods channel main board 4 and the belt-type shipping mechanism 9 through the transparent doors and windows on the vending cabinet body, so that new products can be quickly put on the shelves and displayed at appropriate positions in the vending cabinet, thereby maximizing the sales efficiency;

[0024] The belt-type shipping mechanism 9 includes multi-wedge rollers 902 rotatably installed at the front and rear ends inside the double-layer rack 8, multi-wedge belts 904 wound around the outer circumferences of the two multi-wedge rollers 902, and a stepping motor 903 installed on the outer wall of one side of the double-layer rack 8 for driving the multi-wedge rollers 902 to rotate. A number of equally spaced rubber plates 905 are integrally formed on the outer circumferential surface of the multi-wedge belt 904. A goods grid part 901 is arranged between two adjacent rubber plates 905. The goods to be sold are placed in the goods grid part 901 between two adjacent rubber plates 905. The communication between the stepping motor 903 and the vending cabinet is controlled by the central control module. That is, according to the goods specified in the order, the vending cabinet selects a suitable stepping motor 903 to work through the central control module and the motor controller 5. Then the stepping motor 903 drives the driving multi-wedge rollers 902 and the multi-wedge belts 904 to rotate, and uses the multi-wedge belts 904 and the rubber plates 905 to move the goods towards the vending opening direction until the goods are sent out from the multi-wedge belts 904.

[0025] When the embodiment of the present application is in use, first, the staff installs the lane mechanism into the cabinet body of the intelligent vending machine, and communicates the motor controller 5 with the central control module of the intelligent vending machine. Multiple such lane mechanisms can be installed from top to bottom in the cabinet body of the intelligent vending machine to form a shelf. The staff places the goods to be sold in the belt-type discharging mechanism 9, and each belt-type discharging mechanism 9 forms a lane. At this time, the staff operates the motor controller 5 to control the electric flipping mechanism to work, so as to adjust the inclination angles of the lane main board 4 and the belt-type discharging mechanism 9 according to the size and weight of the goods. Thus, when the goods change, there is no need for the staff to manually operate and intervene, and it can quickly adapt to the new commodity layout, saving a large amount of labor and time costs. At the same time, through precise control and preset parameters, it can be ensured that the inclination angles of each lane main board 4 and the belt-type discharging mechanism 9 are accurate and consistent, so as to ensure that the goods can be smoothly pushed to the vending opening.

[0026] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present utility model. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description. Therefore, it is intended to include all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims in the present utility model. Any reference signs in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claimed rights.
