[0030] 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 embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 The utility model provides an embodiment: a password vending machine for box-type items, including a body 1, a touch screen 2 is fixedly connected to the right side of the front of the body 1, and consumers can select the required items through the touch screen 2, a delivery port is opened on the lower side of the front of the body 1, and a baffle 3 is hinged at the delivery port, and the baffle 3 can seal the delivery port to prevent external debris from entering the interior of the body 1, and a delivery cavity 4 is provided inside the body 1, and the delivery port is located just in front of the delivery cavity 4. After the selection is completed, the selected item will fall downward into the delivery cavity 4. At this time, the consumer pushes the baffle 3 inward to open the delivery port, and the item inside the delivery cavity 4 can be taken out. A bottom plate 5 is fixedly connected to the interior of the delivery cavity 4. When the item enters the delivery cavity 4, it will stay above the bottom plate 5.
[0032] Reference Figure 2-Figure 4 The front side of the upper surface of the bottom plate 5 is fixedly connected to the supporting vertical plate 6, and the upper end of the supporting vertical plate 6 is hinged to the receiving plate 7, and the receiving plate 7 can rotate around the hinge between the supporting vertical plate 6 and the receiving plate 7. A supporting unit is provided on the outside of the receiving plate 7. The supporting unit includes an elastic member 71 and a rotating plate 72. The elastic member 71 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bottom plate 5. The elastic member 71 is composed of a telescopic rod and a spring. The bottom end of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bottom plate 5, and the top of the telescopic rod is hinged to the bottom surface of the rotating plate 72. When the rotating plate 72 moves downward, the elastic member 71 can be squeezed so that the elastic member 71 is compressed to generate elastic potential energy. The spring is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod, and the bottom end of the spring is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bottom plate 5. The rotating plate 72 is hinged to the upper end of the elastic member 71, and the upper surface of the rotating plate 72 is in contact with the bottom surface of the receiving plate 7.
[0033] The rotating plate 72 and elastic member 71 are provided to limit and support the rear end of the receiving plate 7, so that the receiving plate 7 remains tilted to the front and lower side. At the same time, when the object falls downward and over the receiving plate 7, the receiving plate 7 is squeezed. At this time, the rear end of the receiving plate 7 rotates downward, squeezing the rotating plate 72 and the elastic member 71, so that the elastic member 71 is compressed to generate elastic potential energy, which buffers and offsets the impact force exerted on the receiving plate 7, thereby avoiding hard contact between the object and the receiving plate 7, which causes damage to the object. At the same time, the rotating plate 72 can rotate with the receiving plate 7, thereby reducing the wear between the rotating plate 72 and the receiving plate 7. When the object falls over the receiving plate 7, it can slide forward along the inclined surface of the receiving plate 7.
[0034] The front end of the receiving plate 7 is fixedly connected with a blocking bar 8, the upper surface of the blocking bar 8 is higher than the upper surface of the receiving plate 7, and the upper surface of the blocking bar 8 is lower than the bottom surface of the blocking plate 3. The blocking bar 8 can block the items sliding forward from the top of the receiving plate 7 to prevent the items from falling onto the receiving plate 7 and affecting consumers' access to them. A groove 9 is provided at the front end of the receiving plate 7. When the item slides forward to fit with the blocking bar 8, part of the item will move to the top of the groove 9, thereby preventing the bottom surface of the item from completely fitting with the surface of the receiving plate 7, making it convenient for users to take the item through the groove 9. For simplicity of operation, a sliding unit is provided above the receiving plate 7, and the sliding unit includes a rectangular groove 81 and a roller 82. The rectangular groove 81 is opened on the upper surface of the receiving plate 7, and the roller 82 is connected to the internal rotation of the rectangular groove 81. When an object falls onto the receiving plate 7, it will slide forward under the action of gravity, and the object will come into contact and friction with the roller 82, thereby driving the roller 82 to rotate. At this time, the roller 82 will drive the object to slide quickly toward the front side, thereby avoiding excessive friction between the object and the receiving plate 7, which will cause the object to be unable to slide forward to the groove 9.
[0035] Reference Figure 2-Figure 3, an infrared sensor 10 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bottom plate 5, and the infrared sensor 10 can monitor the position of the receiving plate 7, and then can judge whether there is an object above the receiving plate 7. An iron bar 11 is fixedly connected to the back of the baffle 3, and a fixed plate 12 is fixedly connected to the front inner wall surface of the body 1. An electromagnet 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fixed plate 12. The infrared sensor 10 is electrically connected to the electromagnet 13. The electromagnet 13 is located above the fixed plate 12. When the baffle 3 rotates to the rear to open the delivery port, it can drive the iron bar 11 to fit with the electromagnet 13. When the infrared sensor 10 recognizes that the receiving plate 7 rotates downward, it means that an item has fallen from above the receiving plate 7. At this time, the infrared sensor 10 will send a signal to the electromagnet 13, so that the electromagnet 13 is energized to generate magnetic force, and then the electromagnet 13 can magnetically attract the iron bar 11 to fix the baffle 3, making it convenient for consumers to take the items. After the item is taken for more than ten seconds, the electromagnet 13 automatically cuts off the power, releases the limit on the baffle 3, and allows the baffle 3 to automatically reset to block the delivery port. This is an existing PLC control technology in this field and will not be elaborated here.
[0036] Working principle: After the consumer selects the item through the touch screen 2, the item will fall into the inside of the delivery cavity 4. At this time, the receiving plate 7 will receive the item, and the item will squeeze the receiving plate 7, causing the rear end of the receiving plate 7 to rotate downward. At this time, the receiving plate 7 will squeeze the elastic member 71 and the rotating plate 72, causing the elastic member 71 to compress and generate elastic potential energy, which buffers and offsets the impact force on the receiving plate 7, thereby avoiding hard contact between the item and the receiving plate 7. As the item is completely in contact with the upper surface of the receiving plate 7, it will slide forward along the inclined surface of the receiving plate 7. At the same time, the item can quickly slide down along the roller 82 to fit the baffle 8, so that part of the item moves to the top of the groove 9, making it convenient for consumers to pick up the item through the groove 9, avoiding the bottom surface of the item being completely in contact with the upper surface of the receiving plate 7, making it difficult to pick up.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
