Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model mainly relates to the technical field of vending machines, in particular to an automatic chewing gum vending machine. Background Art

[0002] Vending machines are machines that automatically dispense goods after payment is made by scanning a QR code. Unrestricted by time or location, they save labor and facilitate transactions. They are a new form of retail, often referred to as 24-hour mini-supermarkets. Traditional gum vending machines primarily sell bottled gum, which is bulky and inconvenient to carry, and can also affect sales due to the large quantity sold at once.

[0003] The existing technology uses a motor to control the rotation of a turntable, aligning the slot containing the gum with the delivery port. This facilitates the dropping of gum and enables automatic vending of individual gums. However, to accommodate multiple gums, multiple slots are required. The slots are short and lack reinforcement, which can easily cause the slots to break, affecting gum sales. Furthermore, the door designed to facilitate restocking lacks a locking mechanism, posing a risk of the gum being taken away directly. Utility Model Content

[0024] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0025] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a chewing gum vending machine includes a base plate 18, a shell 1 is provided on the base plate 18, a drive motor 16 is provided on the shell 1, an output end of the drive motor 16 is connected to a turntable 21, the other end of the turntable 21 is connected to a rotating roller 6, a plurality of partitions 7 are radially provided on the outer wall of the rotating roller 6, any one of the partitions 7 is fixedly connected to the turntable 21, a delivery chute 2 is formed on the surface of the shell 1, the delivery chute 2 is located on the rotation path of the partition 7, the delivery chute 2 is located below the rotating roller 6 and is connected to the space where the partition 7 is located, a switch plate 3 is provided on the shell 1, a connecting member 15 is formed on the switch plate 3, and an electric lock 13 is provided on the base plate 18.

[0027] The rotating roller 6 is parallel to the bottom plate 18 and is located above the horizontal position of the bottom plate 18. The switch plate 3 is located on the side of the housing 1 away from the drive motor 16. A baffle 22 is provided on the switch plate 3. The baffle 22 is a circular structure. The diameter of the baffle 22 is not less than the sum of the radial lengths of the rotating roller 6 and the partition 7. A card block 10 is formed on the baffle 22 along the axial inward protrusion. The card block 10 is a rubber block that fits the inner diameter of the rotating roller 6. The card block 10 is embedded in the rotating roller 6 to limit the switch plate 3 from moving radially out of the housing 1.

[0028] The electric lock 13 is a U-shaped structure, and the connecting member 15 is located in the U-shaped opening of the electric lock 13. A lock tongue 14 is formed on the U-shaped opening of the electric lock 13, and a lock opening 20 that fits with the lock tongue 14 is formed on the connecting member 15. The lock tongue 14 penetrates the lock opening 20 to limit the switch plate 3 from axially separating from the housing 1.

[0029] A fixing plate 4 is provided on the surface of the shell 1 on the side away from the closing plate 3, and five pins 5 are inserted on the fixing plate 4. Five pin sleeves 17 are fixed on the surface of the shell 1. The pins 5 and the pin sleeves 17 are pinned and fixed one by one. The driving motor 16 is clamped and fixed between the fixing plate 4 and the shell 1.

[0030] A control compartment 8 is also provided on the base plate 18, and the control compartment 8 is located inside the shell 1. A slot is opened on the base plate 18 at a position corresponding to the control compartment 8 and a compartment cover 19 is fixed thereto. A control box 9 is provided between the compartment cover 19 and the control compartment 8. A first wiring port 11 is provided on the top outer wall of the control compartment 8, and a second wiring port 12 is provided on the side of the shell 1 near the drive motor 16. The circuit of the electric lock 13 passes through the first wiring port 11 and is electrically connected to the control box 9. The circuit of the drive motor 16 passes through the second wiring port 12 and the first wiring port 11 in sequence and is electrically connected to the control box 9. The control box 9 includes a power supply module and a signal transmission module to power and control the drive motor 16 and the electric lock 13.

[0031] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when the product is in use, the lock tongue 14 extends into the lock hole 20 to close the switch plate 3, and the switch plate 3 is fixed relative to the shell 1. After the user completes the purchase, the control box 9 controls the drive motor 16 to work and drive the partition 7 to rotate. During the rotation of the partition 7, the bidirectional fixed connection structure with the rotating roller 6 and the turntable 21 is maintained stable and not easy to break. After the chewing gum between the two adjacent partitions 7 rotates to the position corresponding to the delivery slot 2, the chewing gum will automatically fall into the delivery slot 2 under the influence of gravity, thereby completing the delivery of a single chewing gum; when the product needs to be replenished, the drive motor 16 remains stationary, and the control box 9 controls the lock tongue 14 to retract into the electric control lock 13 to open the switch plate 3. The staff directly pulls out the switch plate 3 axially and replenishes the chewing gum to the adjacent partitions 7 from the outside of the shell 1. After the replenishment is completed, the switch plate 3 is axially inserted into the shell 1, and the lock tongue 14 re-extends into the lock hole 20 to close the switch plate 3.

[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the essential characteristics of the present application. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed herein. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.
