[0023] The above scheme is adopted: the shell 1 is the main body of the beverage vending machine, and the beverages are placed on multiple groups of beverage racks 6 arranged inside it. The user can purchase beverages through the display screen 4 at the front end of the door panel 2, and push the purchased beverages down through the beverage rack 6 for delivery. The above are all existing technologies; the discharge port 5 is opened on the side of the shell 1, and each group of discharge ports 5 corresponds to a group of movable plates 302. The movable plates 302 can close the discharge port 5, and the beverages are pushed down and fall into the pushing mechanism 3. The pushing mechanism 3 can push the beverages toward the discharge port 5 until they are placed. In the basket 7, the movable plate 302 can automatically open upwards during the process of pushing the beverage, and the user can reach his hand into the discharge port 5 to take the beverage from the basket 7; the electric slide rail 303 is set in the inner walls on both sides of the pushing rack 301, which is the existing technology. When the electric slide rail 303 is started, it can drive the push plate 304 to move horizontally, and the push plate 304 can push the beverage on the pushing rack 301 forward; the bottom end of the push plate 304 passes through the bottom outer wall of the pushing rack 301, and when it moves, it can contact the outer wall of the moving block 306 and squeeze the moving block 306 to move synchronously.

[0024] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the pusher rack 301 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell 1, and the gravity sensor A305 is in contact with the outer wall of the push plate 304; the push plate 304 is slidingly connected to the inner wall of the pusher rack 301, and the movable plate 302 is slidingly connected in the inner wall of the shell 1; one end of the connecting rod 309 is hinged to the outer wall of the movable plate 302, and the other end of the connecting rod 309 is hinged to the outer wall of the movable block 306, and the movable block 306 is slidingly connected to the outer wall of the bottom end of the pusher rack 301; one end of the return spring 307 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable block 306, and the other end of the return spring 307 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed plate 308.

[0025] The above scheme is adopted: the gravity sensor A305 is the existing technology, the gravity sensor A305, the gravity sensor B310 and the electric slide 303 are electrically connected, when the beverage falls into the pushing rack 301, its own gravity is applied to the gravity sensor A305, the gravity sensor A305 generates an electrical signal, the electrical signal is transmitted to the control system connected to it, and the control system sends an instruction to the driving device of the electric slide 303, and the electric slide 303, under the action of the driving device, drives the push plate 304 to push the beverage to start moving toward the discharge port 5; when the push plate 304 pushes the beverage onto the placement basket 7, the gravity sensor A305 does not sense the gravity of the beverage, but the gravity sensor B310 senses the gravity of the beverage, and sends an instruction to the driving device of the electric slide 303 through the control system, so that it drives the push plate 304 to remain in place; and when the push plate 304 moves toward the discharge port When the handle 306 is in the closed position, the handle 306 is in the closed position, and the handle 306 is in the closed position, so that the user can move the beverage in the closed position directly.

[0026] After the beverage is taken out, neither the gravity sensor A305 nor the gravity sensor B310 senses the gravity of the beverage, and after five seconds, a reverse command is transmitted to the driving device of the electric slide rail 303, causing it to drive the push plate 304 back to the initial position, waiting for the next trigger of the beverage falling; in the process of the push plate 304 returning to the initial position, the reset spring 307 drives the moving block 306 to move in the opposite direction and reset due to its own elastic force, and the connecting rod 309 flips downward, causing the moving plate 302 to move downward, and the discharge port 5 can be closed to maintain the initial state.

[0027] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the inner wall of the shell 1 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 9, the outer wall of the rotating shaft 9 is fixedly connected to the baffle 8, and the outer wall of the beverage holder 6 is fixedly connected to the motor 10; the output shaft of the motor 10 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 9, and the baffle 8 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the shell 1.

[0028] The above solution is adopted: when the push plate 304 is in the initial state, the push plate 304 is always in contact with the contact sensor 11, and the contact sensor 11 can send a signal to the control circuit of the motor 10, so that the control circuit of the motor 10 enters a holding state, thereby fixing the output shaft of the motor 10 and driving the rotating shaft 9 to be fixed. At this time, the baffle 8 is in a downward tilted state; when the user buys a beverage, the beverage falls into the push rack 301 through the inclined baffle 8, and moves the push plate 304, breaking contact with the contact sensor 11. At this time, the signal of the contact sensor 11 disappears, and the controller can control the output shaft of the motor 10 to rotate a certain angle according to the preset program, and drive the baffle 8 to rotate to an upward tilted state through the rotating shaft 9, such as Figure 5 As shown, during the process of pushing the beverage by the push plate 304, when other users buy beverages and the beverage falls off the beverage rack 6, it is blocked by the baffle 8 and will not fall onto the pushing rack 301; when the user takes the beverage, the push plate 304 moves in the opposite direction and resets and contacts the contact sensor 11 again, the contact sensor 11 again sends a signal to the control circuit of the motor 10, causing the output shaft of the motor 10 to rotate in the opposite direction and reset and maintain, driving the baffle 8 to flip downward, causing the blocked beverage to fall onto the pushing rack 301, and the pushing can be carried out again; therefore, during the operation of the push plate 304, the subsequent operation of the pushing mechanism 3 will not be affected by other beverages falling onto the pushing rack 301, and the beverages can be transported and discharged in batches.

[0029] The working principle and use process of this utility model:

[0030] When a user chooses to purchase a beverage through the display screen 4 at the front end of the door panel 2, the corresponding beverage on the beverage rack 6 is released and slides down the downward-inclined baffle 8 into the push rack 301. The beverage's own gravity is applied to the gravity sensor A305. After sensing the gravity of the beverage, the gravity sensor A305 generates an electrical signal and transmits it to the control system. After receiving the signal, the control system sends a command to the drive device of the electric slide 303. The electric slide 303 is activated under the action of the drive device, driving the push plate 304 to move horizontally and begin to push the beverage toward the discharge port 5. The push plate 304 is out of contact with the contact sensor 11, and the signal from the contact sensor 11 disappears. The controller controls the output shaft of the motor 10 to rotate a certain angle according to a preset program, and the motor 10 drives the baffle 8 to rotate to an upward-inclined state via the rotating shaft 9. At this time, if other users purchase a beverage, the beverage will fall off the beverage rack 6 and will be blocked by the upward-inclined baffle 8 and will not fall onto the push rack 301, thereby preventing other beverages from falling during the operation of the push plate 304 and affecting the subsequent operation of the push mechanism 3.

[0031] During the movement, the bottom end of the push plate 304 contacts the outer wall of the moving block 306 and pushes the moving block 306 to move synchronously in the direction of the discharge port 5. When the moving block 306 moves, the reset spring 307 is stretched and the connecting rod 309 is squeezed at the same time. The connecting rod 309 flips upward, driving the moving plate 302 to move upward, thereby opening the discharge port 5 and exposing the placement basket 7; when the push plate 304 pushes the beverage onto the placement basket 7, the gravity sensor A305 no longer senses the gravity of the beverage, while the gravity sensor B310 senses the gravity of the beverage. The gravity sensor B310 transmits a signal to the control system, and the control system sends an instruction to the drive device of the electric slide rail 303, so that it drives the push plate 304 to remain in place. At this time, the beverage is on the placement basket 7, and the user can reach into the discharge port 5 to take the beverage.

[0032] After the beverage is taken out, neither the gravity sensor A305 nor the gravity sensor B310 senses the gravity of the beverage. According to the program setting, after five seconds, the control system sends a reverse instruction to the driving device of the electric slide rail 303, so that it drives the push plate 304 back to the initial position; in this process, the reset spring 307 drives the moving block 306 to move in the opposite direction and reset due to its own elastic force, and the connecting rod 309 flips downward, causing the moving plate 302 to move downward, closing the discharge port 5 and returning to the initial state; in the process of the user taking the beverage, there is no need to open the cover of the discharge port 5 with one hand, and take the beverage with the other hand, which is more convenient and quick, and the hand does not touch the cover of the discharge port 5 throughout the process, avoiding the problem of the cover being dirty and affecting the user's hand hygiene.

[0033] When the push plate 304 moves in the reverse direction and resets to contact with the contact sensor 11 again, the contact sensor 11 sends a signal to the control circuit of the motor 10 again, causing the output shaft of the motor 10 to rotate in the reverse direction and reset and maintain, driving the baffle 8 to flip downward, so that the blocked beverage falls onto the pushing rack 301, and the beverage can be pushed again, realizing the delivery and discharge of the beverage in batches.
