[0061] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it can be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0062] The embodiment of the present application provides a vending machine with dual delivery channels, thereby solving the problem in the prior art that it is easy for people with ulterior motives to reach into the vending machine through the delivery port to take items. In the dual delivery channels, the upper and middle layer products are delivered from the front, and the bottom layer products are delivered from the back, thereby eliminating the safety hazards of the delivery port with front delivery and solving the defects of the single delivery channel of the vending machine.

[0063] As shown in the figure, a vending machine with dual drop-off channels includes a cabinet door 1, a cabinet body 2, a pickup port 3, a cargo tray 4, a support frame 5, a hopper 6, a camera 7, a front drop-off channel 8, and a rear drop-off channel 9;

[0064] The cabinet 2 is used to store items and is provided with a support frame 5, on which pallets 4 are arranged to display items; a camera 7 is provided on the top of the cabinet 2 for shooting and recording the unloading of goods, and a hopper 6 is provided at the bottom of the cabinet 2, and the upper part of the hopper 6 is open to receive items; the cabinet 2 is movably connected to the cabinet door 1, and a take-out port 3 is provided at the lower part of the cabinet door 1, and the interior of the take-out port 3 is interconnected with the hopper 6; the pallet 4 consists of an upper pallet, a middle pallet and a lower pallet. The same as the prior art is that a front drop-off channel 8 is provided at the front of the cabinet 2. The upper and middle pallets are connected. Items on the tray are unloaded from the front of the tray 4, using the front unloading method, and the items are unloaded into the hopper 6 through the front unloading channel 8, and then the items are transported to the pickup port 3; different from the existing technology, a rear unloading channel 9 is provided at the rear of the cabinet 2, and the items on the lower tray are unloaded from the rear, using the rear unloading method, and the items are unloaded from the rear of the tray 4, and the items are unloaded into the hopper 6 through the rear unloading channel 9, and then the items are transported to the pickup port 3. The rear unloading channel 9 is far away from the pickup port 3, so even if you reach into the vending machine, you will not get any items on the lower tray, which has a safety and anti-theft effect.

[0065] In this embodiment, the upper part of the hopper 6 is open and can receive items falling from the front and rear of the item pallet 4; the lower pallet has a rear drop channel 9, so that the items on the lower pallet are dropped from the rear, and the items are dropped into the hopper 6 through the rear drop channel 9. The bottom of the rear drop channel 9 is connected to the pickup port 3, so that the items on the lower pallet can be shipped. The rear drop channel 9 is away from the pickup port 3, reducing the risk of theft of items on the lower pallet.

[0066] Specifically, the number of upper, middle, and lower trays can be set as needed. Since items on the upper and middle trays are unloaded from the front, people can clearly see the status of the items on the upper and middle trays when purchasing, making it easier for them to make their purchases. Items on the bottom tray are unloaded from the back, preventing people with ulterior motives from reaching into the vending machine through the access port to take items. In actual applications, some items that people don't need to clearly see can be placed on the lower tray of the vending machine, effectively preventing theft.

[0067] The technical solutions in the above embodiments of the present application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0068] Since the items on the upper and middle trays are unloaded into the hopper 6 through the front unloading channel 8, and the items on the lower tray are unloaded into the hopper 6 through the rear unloading channel 9, and the front unloading channel 8 is close to the pickup port 3, and the rear unloading channel 9 is far away from the pickup port 3, the possibility of the items on the lower tray being stolen through the pickup port 3 is reduced, thereby solving the safety hazard of the vending machine.

[0069] In order to ensure the stability of the structure of this embodiment, the cargo tray 4 is used to display items, including a cargo plate 41, a partition 42, a spring 43, a pushing motor 44 and a pushing block 45;

A pushing motor 44 and a pushing block 45 are provided at one end of the cargo lane. The other end of the cargo lane is a delivery port. When delivering goods, the pushing motor 44 rotates forward, driving the pushing block 45 to extend, and the spring 43 drives the items forward and out of the cargo pallet 4. After the items fall, the pushing motor 44 rotates in the reverse direction, and the pushing block 45 retracts, returning to the initial state.

[0071] The cargo plates 41 of the upper, middle and lower pallets are of the same length, and the cargo plates 41 of the lower pallet are smaller than the width of the cargo plates 41 of the upper and middle pallets, so that there is an accommodating space between the lower pallet and the cabinet body 2 to form a rear cargo drop channel 9, and the items on the lower pallet are dropped from the back of the pallet 4; at the same time, the delivery ports of the upper and middle pallets are facing the cabinet door 1, and the delivery port of the lower pallet is facing away from the cabinet door 1; the springs 43, pushing motors 44 and pushing blocks 45 on the upper and middle pallets are in the same direction, and are set in the opposite direction to the springs 43, pushing motors 44 and pushing blocks 45 on the lower pallet.

[0072] The technical solutions in the above embodiments of the present application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0073] Since the width of the cargo plate 41 of the lower cargo pallet is smaller than the width of the cargo plate 41 of the upper cargo pallet and the middle cargo pallet, there is an accommodating space between the lower cargo pallet and the cabinet body 2, forming a rear cargo drop channel 9. The items on the lower cargo pallet are dropped into the hopper 6 through the rear cargo drop channel 9 and transported to the cargo pickup port 3; both the front cargo drop channel 8 and the rear cargo drop channel 9 can be used for dropping goods.

[0074] In order to further ensure the stability of the structure of this embodiment, the support frame 5 includes a back column 51, a side column 52 and a support bar 53;

[0076] The side column 52 is a supporting frame provided on the side of the cabinet 2. A locking hole 511 and a round hole 512 are also provided on the side column 52.

[0077] The support bar 53 is a horizontal U-shaped groove, connected between the back column 51 and the side column 52. A protrusion 531 is provided at one end of the support bar 53, and the protrusion 531 is inserted into the clamping hole 511 of the back column 51, so that the support bar 53 is connected to the back column 51; a through hole 532 is provided at the other end of the support bar 53, and the through hole 532 corresponds to the circular hole 512 on the side column 52. The pin passes through the through hole 532 and the circular hole 512 to connect the support bar 53 and the side column 52 together.

[0078] In order to optimize the structure of this embodiment, the guide wheel 411 of the cargo plate 41 is slidably assembled in the support bar 53, and the position of the cargo plate 41 is fixed by screws.

[0079] The technical solutions in the above embodiments of the present application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0080] Since the guide wheel 411 of the cargo pallet 41 is embedded in the support bar 53, the lower cargo pallet can slide and adjust its position on the support bar 53, so that the lower cargo pallet has a gap in the cabinet 2 to form a rear cargo drop channel 9. The items on the lower cargo pallet are dropped into the hopper 6 through the rear cargo drop channel 9 and transported to the cargo pickup port 3.

[0081] In order to further optimize the structure of this embodiment, the hopper 6 is arranged at the bottom of the cabinet 2, and the lateral cross-section of the hopper 6 is a right-angled trapezoid, so that the items dropped into the hopper 6 from the pallet 4 are delivered to the pickup port 3; an inclined portion 61 is provided on the hopper 6 near the rear drop-off channel 9, and there is a distance between the rear drop-off channel 9 and the pickup port 3 to avoid the risk of theft of items on the lower pallet caused by the connection between the rear drop-off channel 9 and the pickup port 3.

[0082] The technical solutions in the above embodiments of the present application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0083] Since the upper portion of the hopper 6 is open, both the front drop-off channel 8 and the rear drop-off channel 9 can allow the purchased items to fall into the hopper 6 .

[0084] Since the rear portion of the hopper 6 is provided with an inclined portion 61 , the rear drop-off channel 9 is away from the pickup port 3 and is connected to the zigzag path, thereby avoiding the risk of theft caused by direct connection at a close distance and improving the safety of the vending machine.

[0085] Features of this embodiment:

[0086] Since the items on the upper and middle trays are unloaded from the front, people can clearly see the status of the items on the upper and middle trays when purchasing, making it easier for them to make purchases. The items on the bottom tray are unloaded from the back, preventing people with ulterior motives from reaching into the vending machine through the access port to take items. In practical applications, some items that people don't need to clearly see can be placed on the lower tray of the vending machine, effectively preventing theft of items on the lower tray.
