By disposing multiple horizontally parallel guide rails within the outer main housing and arranging slidable retaining plates on the rails, the internal storage space can be flexibly adjusted. Specifically, the relative positions of the retaining plates can be adjusted by sliding, thereby forming troughs that accommodate products of varying sizes and types, significantly improving the vending machine's ability to accommodate a wide variety of products.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is: a self-service vending machine with adjustable internal size structure, comprising an outer main shell, a delivery port is opened on the outer main shell, and a door lock is installed on one side of the outer main shell;

[0006] The interior of the outer main shell is provided with a plurality of guide rails arranged in parallel and transversely, and a plurality of clamping plates are provided on the guide rails, and the clamping plates and the guide rails are slidably connected to each other;

[0007] The bottom of the card plate is fixedly connected to a rotating motor, and the output end of the rotating motor is connected to a paddle.

[0008] Furthermore, cargo troughs for storing cargo are formed between the pallets.

[0009] Furthermore, the paddle is located directly below the cargo trough.

[0010] The advantages of the present invention are:

[0011] This utility model provides a self-service vending machine with adjustable internal dimensions and structure. By disposing multiple horizontally parallel guide rails within the outer main housing and arranging slidable retaining plates on the rails, the internal storage space can be flexibly adjusted. Specifically, the relative positions of the retaining plates can be adjusted by sliding, thereby forming troughs that accommodate goods of different sizes and types, significantly improving the vending machine's ability to support a wide variety of products.

[0012] Furthermore, this utility model utilizes a rotating motor fixed to the bottom of the pallet and a paddle installed at its output end, replacing traditional spring coils or track-driven transmissions to push goods. This design not only effectively avoids problems caused by spring jams or bearing slippage, but also significantly reduces equipment maintenance and operating costs. Furthermore, because the paddle acts directly below the cargo chute, it enables more precise control of the delivery process, ensuring that only one item is accurately ejected at a time, further enhancing the user experience.

[0013] In summary, the present invention solves the key problems of the existing self-service vending machines, such as fixed and non-adjustable internal dimensions, high failure rate and excessive cost, through its innovative adjustable internal structure and efficient cargo pushing mechanism, thereby improving the space utilization and product adaptability of the self-service vending machines.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the utility model. Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the utility model, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The self-service vending machine with adjustable internal dimensions and structure shown includes an outer main housing 7, a delivery port 71 is provided on the outer main housing 7, and a door lock 5 is installed on one side of the outer main housing 7;

[0025] The utility model is provided with a plurality of transversely parallel guide rails 2 inside the outer main shell 7, and the guide rails 2 are used to provide a moving path for the pallet 1. A plurality of pallets 1 are provided on the guide rails 2, and the pallet 1 and the guide rails 2 are slidably connected to each other. The pallets 1 and the guide rails 2 in the utility model are used in conjunction with each other, and cargo troughs 8 are formed between adjacent pallets 1 to store goods. By adjusting the position of the pallet 1, the size and shape of the cargo trough 8 can be flexibly changed to meet the storage requirements of goods of different types and sizes, thereby enhancing the versatility and adaptability of the machine.

[0026] The present invention has a rotating motor 3 fixedly connected to the bottom of the card plate 1, a position sensor (not shown) provided inside the rotating motor 3, and a paddle 4 connected to the output end of the rotating motor 3. The rotating motor 3 drives the paddle 4 to work through the output end. Specifically, the paddle is fixed to the screw (not shown) of the rotating motor 3 with a screw, which ensures the force of the paddle 4. When the motor rotates, the cargo 6 is pushed forward by the paddle 4 and moves out to the support point of the cargo trough 8. The cargo 6 then falls to the delivery port 71. When the paddle 4 rotates to the position sensor, the rotating motor 3 stops rotating, completing a delivery operation. The paddle 4 in the present invention is used to provide power for the delivery of the cargo 6. Compared with traditional spring spiral or crawler belt transmission methods, it is more stable and reliable, reduces the failure rate, and reduces maintenance costs.

[0027] The utility model forms a cargo trough 8 for storing goods 6 between adjacent pallets 1. Each cargo trough 8 can be changed according to the size of the goods. Compared with the traditional fixed cargo guide rail, the utility model has the advantages of high variability, which can be used to handle goods 6 of different sizes and sizes, effectively reducing energy consumption and achieving higher economic benefits. Compared with the traditional spring-propelled goods 6 installation, it effectively saves space and reduces costs.

[0028] The paddle 4 in the present invention is located directly below the cargo trough 8, and the paddle 4 can be precisely controlled by rotating the motor 3 to paddle the cargo 6, ensuring that only one cargo 6 is pushed out each time, avoiding the situation where multiple cargoes 6 fall at the same time, improving the accuracy of shipment, and improving the user experience. The paddle in the present invention replaces the traditional spring-type cargo pushing 6, effectively saving space, reducing costs, reducing failure rates, and reducing the weight of the entire machine, thereby achieving higher economic benefits and better user experience.

[0029] Working Principle: When motor 3 receives a signal to start picking up merchandise, it begins to rotate. As motor 3 rotates, its output drives paddle 4 to rotate. Paddle 4 is located directly below trough 8. When paddle 4 contacts merchandise in trough 8, it pushes the merchandise forward. Pushed by paddle 4, the merchandise moves out of trough 8's support point and falls into delivery port 71. When paddle 4 reaches a position detected by a position sensor, the sensor sends a stop signal to the motor, causing it to stop, completing a delivery operation. The merchandise then drops through delivery port 71 to the user, allowing them to easily remove it.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the above embodiments can still be modified, or some or all of the technical features therein can be replaced by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
