Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of vending machines, and particularly relates to a vending machine for preventing articles from being damaged by falling. Background Art

[0002] At present, many public areas are equipped with vending machines. The existing vending machines generally have a pick-up opening at the lower part of the machine body, a goods dropping pocket corresponding to the pick-up opening, and a goods shelf located above the goods dropping pocket. When a consumer purchases an article, the corresponding article is pushed out of the goods shelf by an automatic goods pushing device, and the goods fall into the goods dropping pocket. The consumer can take out the article through the pick-up opening. Since the goods shelf is generally provided with multiple layers, when an article at a higher position falls, due to the action of gravity, the problem of article damage often occurs. Even for articles such as food that do not affect eating, the eating experience will be affected due to fragmentation. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] In order to overcome the deficiencies and existing problems of the prior art, the utility model provides a vending machine for preventing articles from being damaged by falling, which can effectively avoid the damage caused by too high a drop when the article falls and improve the shopping experience.

Detailed implementation mode

[0022] For the convenience of those skilled in the art, the following further describes the present utility model in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, an automatic vending machine for preventing item damage from falling includes a body 1. Inside the body 1, there is a multi-layer shelf 2. An automatic goods pushing device 3 is provided on the multi-layer shelf 2, and the automatic goods pushing device 3 can push the items on the multi-layer shelf 2 to fall. A human-machine interaction screen 7 and a cash collection module 8 are provided on the body 1, and consumers can place orders and make payments through the human-machine interaction screen 7 and the cash collection module 8.

[0024] As Figure 3 shown, the multi-layer shelf 2 includes vertical columns 21. The vertical columns 21 support multiple layers of shelf boards 22. A plurality of spacers 23 are provided on each shelf board 22. The storage grids for storing goods are between the spacers 23, and an automatic goods pushing device 3 is provided in each storage grid. The automatic goods pushing device 3 can be an existing spiral goods pushing device, including a spiral member. The spiral member is connected with a rotation driving mechanism. The item is clamped in the spiral member, and the rotation driving mechanism drives the spiral member to rotate to push the item.

[0025] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, a receiving box 4 is provided on the front of the multi-layer shelf 2. The receiving box 4 extends horizontally from one side of the multi-layer shelf 2 to the other side. The receiving box 4 is connected with a vertical lifting mechanism 5, and the vertical lifting mechanism 5 can drive the receiving box 4 to lift vertically. A pick-up window 11 corresponding to the receiving box 4 in the vertical direction is provided on the body 1, and a window door 12 is provided on the pick-up window 11. The receiving box 4 rises to a predetermined position through the vertical lifting mechanism 5. The items on the multi-layer shelf 2 are pushed out by the automatic goods pushing device 3 and fall into the receiving box 4. The receiving box 4 descends to the pick-up window 11, and consumers can take out the items through the pick-up window 11, which can effectively avoid damage to the items due to too high a drop when falling.

[0026] AsFigure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in ,

[0027] , the vertical lifting mechanism 5 includes a driving main shaft 51. The driving main shaft 51 is connected to a lifting motor 53 through a reduction gear set 52. Both ends of the driving main shaft 51 are connected with synchronous conveyor belt groups 54. The two synchronous conveyor belt groups 54 are respectively connected to both ends of the receiving box 4. The lifting motor 53 drives the driving main shaft 51 to rotate through the reduction gear set 52.
