[0006] A circular commodity pusher includes a guide rail and a commodity pusher. A semi-circular guide rail area matching with circular commodities is arranged on the guide rail, and a semi-circular baffle is arranged at one end of the semi-circular guide rail area.

[0007] The commodity pusher includes a housing, a spiral spring is arranged inside the housing. One end of the spiral spring is connected to one end of the bottom side of the semi-circular guide rail area close to the semi-circular baffle, and a circular push plate matching with the semi-circular guide rail area is arranged on one side of the housing close to the semi-circular baffle.

[0008] A slide rail is arranged in the semi-circular guide rail area, and a chute matching with the slide rail is arranged at the bottom end of the housing of the commodity pusher.

[0009] Further, a clamping block is arranged on one side of the guide rail, and a clamping groove is arranged on the other side. Two adjacent guide rails can be butted side by side through the clamping block and the clamping groove.

[0010] Further, jacks are arranged on both the top surface and the bottom surface of the guide rail. A support rod is arranged between two guide rails arranged up and down. The top end of the support rod is inserted into the jack on the bottom surface of the upper guide rail, and the bottom end of the support rod is inserted into the jack on the top surface of the lower guide rail.

[0011] Advantages of the utility model: The structure of the utility model is reasonable. After the circular commodity in the front is taken away, it can achieve non-electrified automatic forward propulsion of the commodity, always display the commodity in the first position, improve the display ability of the commodity, simplify the structure of the pusher, and save the production cost of the vending machine.

The top end of the support rod 10 is inserted into the insertion hole 9 on the bottom surface of the upper guide rail 1, and the bottom end of the support rod 10 is inserted into the insertion hole 9 on the top surface of the lower guide rail 1. The design of the clamping block 7 and the clamping groove 8 can realize left-right assembly and extension as needed, and the design of the insertion holes and the support rod realizes multi-layer stacking, solving the problem for users according to the use environment.

[0028] When the utility model is specifically used, the commodity pusher 2 is moved to the end of the guide rail 1, and the coil spring 202 is released to the maximum state. In the semi-circular guide rail area 3 of the commodity pusher 2, several circular commodities are sequentially placed. After the circular commodity in the first position is taken away, the coil spring 203 winds up, and the commodity pusher 2 moves forward to push the commodity in the second position to the first position. The whole is a non-electric propulsion control, without the wiring trouble and maintenance trouble of electric control.

[0029] Meanwhile, the content not detailedly described in this specification belongs to the prior art well known to those skilled in the art.
