[0002] Vending machines, also known as automatic vending machines, are automated devices that allow customers to select, pay, and obtain goods independently, without human intervention. They are typically located in public places such as shopping malls, airports, train stations, and schools, providing 24-hour service and greatly facilitating consumer shopping needs. Vending machines can hold a wide variety of goods, including beverages, snacks, and daily necessities, to meet the needs of diverse customers. They offer a variety of payment methods, including cash, bank cards, and mobile payments, making operation simple and fast. With the advancement of technology, smart vending machines also incorporate data analysis and inventory management capabilities, providing businesses with more precise operational support.

[0003] In the prior art, after a customer purchases a product, the vending machine typically uses a drive device to push the product, causing it to fall from the display to the delivery port. This method can easily damage the product, and some products may be ejected onto the shelf due to the elasticity of the surface, making it impossible to retrieve the product. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model provides a transmission device for a vending machine, which solves the problems raised by the above-mentioned background technology.

[0007] Through the above technical solution, different goods are placed in the storage rack, and the mobile rack and the robotic arm are further activated to remove the goods purchased by customers from the storage rack and then put them into the delivery port, which can greatly reduce the damage to the goods themselves.

[0008] Furthermore, the inner wall of the delivery port is in a large "V" shape.

[0009] Through the above technical solution, after the goods fall into the delivery port, due to its internal "V" shape, the goods can be further guided and buffered, so that the goods will not be stuck inside the delivery port when being shipped.

[0010] Furthermore, the two clamping plates are both L-shaped.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, the robotic arm can clamp a variety of different goods, and the "L"-shaped structure can easily clamp the goods without causing damage to the goods.

[0012] Furthermore, heat dissipation holes are provided on the surface of the drive box, and the heat dissipation holes are irregularly arranged.

[0013] With the above technical solution, when the motor drives the movable frame to move up and down through the drive box, the internal parts of the drive frame will emit heat, and the heat can be dissipated through the heat dissipation holes to ensure the stable operation of the movable frame.

[0014] The above solution of the utility model includes at least the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The utility model provides a movable frame, a mechanical arm and a rotating wheel, so that the mechanical arm can move back and forth inside the vending machine to grab goods at different heights on the storage rack, thereby reducing damage caused by goods falling during shipment and increasing customer satisfaction with the use of the vending machine.

[0022] The following describes exemplary embodiments of the present invention in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a transmission device for a vending machine, comprising: a vending machine body 1 and a mobile phone case 5, a delivery port 2 is installed on the surface of the vending machine body 1, two storage racks 3 are rotatably connected inside the vending machine body 1, a transmission mechanism 4 is provided inside the vending machine body 1, and the transmission mechanism 4 comprises a base 42, the base 42 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the vending machine body 1, a vertical rod 41 is fixedly connected to the surface of the base 42, a driving box 44 is installed on the surface of the base 42, a motor 43 is installed on the surface of the driving box 44, a mobile rack 45 is slidably connected to the surface of the mobile rack 45, a rotating wheel 46 is rotatably connected to the surface of the rotating wheel 46, a mechanical arm 47 is rotatably connected to the surface of the mechanical arm 47, two clamping plates 48 are fixedly connected to the surface of the mechanical arm 47, different goods are placed in the storage rack 3, and the mobile rack 45 and the mechanical arm are further activated. 47, can take the goods purchased by customers from the storage rack 3, and then put them into the delivery port 2, which can effectively reduce the damage to the goods themselves. The inner wall of the delivery port 2 is in a large "V" shape. After the goods fall into the delivery port 2, due to its internal "V" shape, it can further guide and buffer the goods, so that the goods will not be stuck inside the delivery port 2 when being shipped. The two clamping plates 48 are both in an "L" shape. The mechanical arm 47 can clamp a variety of different goods. The "L"-shaped structure can facilitate the clamping of goods and is not easy to cause damage to the goods. The surface of the drive box 44 is provided with heat dissipation holes 49, and the heat dissipation holes 49 are irregularly arranged. When the motor 43 drives the movable frame 45 to move up and down through the drive box 44, the internal parts of the drive frame will dissipate heat. Dissipating heat through the heat dissipation holes 49 can ensure the stable operation of the movable frame 45.

[0024] In the embodiment of the present utility model (working principle), customers purchase goods through the screen or QR code on the surface of the vending machine body 1. After the purchase, the transmission structure receives the information instruction, and the storage rack 3 will rotate to rotate the purchased goods to a position facing the robotic arm 47. The robotic arm 47 will further adjust the height up and down with the mobile rack 45 to grab the goods. There is a rotating wheel 46 between the robotic arm 47 and the mobile rack 45. The rotating wheel 46 can enable the robotic arm 47 to grab and move more smoothly. After the goods are grabbed, they continue to move and place them at the delivery port 2 position, and slide out from the inside of the delivery port 2 to complete the purchase process of the goods.

[0025] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles described in the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
