Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the present application described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0018] Example 1

[0019] refer to Figure 1-5 , a combined cargo channel device, comprising a body 1, on which a plurality of commodity storage units 2 are detachably fixed;

[0020] The commodity storage unit 2 has one or more commodity storage areas 21, and each commodity storage area 21 is equipped with a power mechanism 22 for sending the commodities in the commodity storage area 21 out of the commodity storage unit 2 one by one; the commodity storage area 21 is a commodity storage area 21 for storing commodities in the form of horizontal stacking or vertical stacking.

[0021] The detachable connection between the commodity storage unit 2 and the body 1 can be a snap connection, a latch connection, a magnetic connection, etc. In this embodiment, the commodity storage unit 2 is fixed to the body 1 by a latch connection, and the commodity storage area 21 is a commodity storage area 21 for storing commodities in a vertical stacked form.

[0022] The working process of the combined cargo channel device is as follows: when a commodity in a certain commodity storage area 21 is selected, the corresponding power mechanism 22 sends the commodity out of the commodity storage unit 2, and then delivers it to the customer through the external conveying mechanism.

[0023] When some parts of one of the commodity storage units 2 are damaged and need to be replaced, the staff can dismantle the corresponding commodity storage unit 2 for repair. At this time, the staff can restart the vending machine and the vending machine can work normally, which greatly reduces the downtime of the vending machine.

[0024] The advantages of this method are: 1. When the commodity storage unit 2 is severely damaged, a new commodity storage unit 2 can be directly replaced. After the replenishment is completed, the vending machine can work normally without long-term shutdown or the entire vending machine being scrapped, thereby reducing costs and improving economic benefits;

[0025] 2. When the damage degree of the commodity storage unit 2 is relatively minor, the staff can dismantle it and repair it on the spot. The staff does not need to carry out repairs in a small space, which is convenient for the staff to observe the fault situation and replace parts. Moreover, during the repair, the vending machine can work normally, avoiding long-term shutdown and affecting economic benefits.

[0026] Preferably, the body 1 and the commodity storage unit 2 are detachably connected via a quick-release mechanism.

[0027] The quick release mechanism can be a lock, a buckle block, or a latch. In this embodiment, the quick release mechanism is preferably a latch, which is cheap and has high structural reliability.

[0028] Preferably, the quick-release mechanism includes automatic spring latches 23 arranged on both sides of the commodity storage unit 2 and through holes 11 arranged at positions corresponding to the automatic spring latches 23 on the body 1; the automatic spring latches 23 cooperate with the through holes 11 to limit the movement of the commodity storage unit 2 in the body 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, the commodity storage unit 2 is placed into the body 1. After the commodity storage unit 2 is placed stably, the latch shaft of the automatic spring latch 23 is aligned with the through hole 11, and the latch shaft is pushed to insert the latch shaft into the through hole 11. At this time, the commodity storage unit 2 is fixed in the body 1; and when the commodity storage unit 2 needs to be removed, it is only necessary to press the button of the automatic spring latch 23, and the latch shaft will retreat into the automatic spring latch 23, thereby releasing the connection between the commodity storage unit 2 and the body 1, and the staff can take the commodity storage unit 2 out of the body 1.

[0030] Preferably, a first baffle 12 is provided on the body 1 at a position corresponding to the bottom of the commodity storage unit 2; a second baffle 24 adapted to the first baffle is provided at the bottom of the commodity storage unit 2; the first baffle 12 cooperates with the second baffle 24 to prevent the commodity storage unit 2 from tipping over.

[0031] In this embodiment, after the commodity storage unit 2 is pushed into the body 1, the second baffle 24 will be inserted into the second baffle 24, so that the second baffle 24 is located above the first baffle 12. When replenishing / exchanging goods, the staff may apply downward pressure to the commodity storage unit 2 due to leverage or misoperation. At this time, the first baffle 12 presses against the second baffle 24 to prevent the commodity storage unit 2 from tipping over, thereby improving safety.

[0032] Preferably, the cross section of the second baffle 24 is Z-shaped or inverted L-shaped.

[0033] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the second baffle 24 is Z-shaped. The horizontal part of the upper part of the second baffle 24 can prevent the commodity storage unit 2 from tipping over. The vertical part in the middle of the second baffle 24 supports the first baffle 12, which can limit the commodity storage unit 2 and prevent the commodity storage unit 2 from being pushed excessively into the body 1. The lower part of the second baffle 24 is connected to the body 1, so that the second baffle 24 is fixed on the body.

[0034] Preferably, the plurality of commodity storage units 2 are arranged in the form of an X*Y array; X and Y are both integers; X and Y are not less than 2; and the plurality of commodity storage units 2 are arranged on the same vertical plane.

[0035] In this embodiment, the commodity storage unit 2 is arranged in a 2*3 form. In actual applications, a richer form can be selected, such as 2*2, 3*3, 3*4, 4*3, 4*4, 4*5, 5*4, 5*5, etc.

[0036] A commodity storage unit 2 can be provided with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc. inventory areas 26, and in this embodiment, 6 inventory areas; more inventory areas are also possible.

[0038] In this embodiment, the body 1 is formed by connecting a plurality of vertical rods 13 and a plurality of support plates 14 by bolts. This method facilitates production and reduces the overall weight of the cargo aisle device. The support plates 14 are used to bear the weight of the commodity storage unit 2.

[0039] Preferably, the power mechanism 22 is a power cylinder powered by pneumatic, electric or hydraulic forces or a conveyor belt capable of providing friction or driving force to the frozen goods.

[0040] In this embodiment, the power mechanism 22 preferably adopts a conveyor belt with a rough surface. The goods are pushed through the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt does not need to reciprocate, but only needs to maintain rotation in one direction to complete the transportation of multiple goods, which is more efficient.

[0041] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and purpose of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
