[0038] Example

[0039] See Figure 1-7As shown, the adjustable pickup basket includes a body 1, one side of which is connected to the guide rail 2 of the vending machine, and the other side of which is connected to the drive belt 3 of the vending machine. The basket also includes an adjustment plate 4 disposed between the body 1 and the guide rail 2. The first end of the adjustment plate 4 is mounted to the body 1, and the second end of the adjustment plate 4 is slidably mounted to the guide rail 2. The adjustment plate 4 is used to adjust the position of the body 1. By providing the adjustment plate 4, the distance between the pickup basket and the cargo aisle can be directly adjusted without disassembling the entire cargo aisle. The arrangement has a simple structure and fast adjustment speed.

[0040] like Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, in a further specific embodiment, the adjustment plate 4 is provided with a first waist hole 41 , and the body 1 is provided with a first fixing member 11 , and the first fixing member 11 passes through the first waist hole 41 .

[0041] It should be noted that the first fixing member 11 is a combination of a bolt and a nut. That is, the first end of the bolt is connected to the body 1, and the second end of the bolt passes through the first waist hole 41 and is threadedly engaged with the nut. When fixing the body 1, the nut is tightened to fix the body 1 to the adjustment plate 4 via the bolt. When the distance between the picking basket and the cargo aisle needs to be adjusted, the nut is rotated and the body 1 is pushed to move the bolt within the first waist hole 41. When it moves to the specified position, the nut is rotated again to fix the position of the body 1 via the bolt.

[0042] In other specific embodiments, the adjustment plate 4 is provided with a first waist hole 41 , a first fixing member 11 is provided in the first waist hole 41 , and the first fixing member 11 passes through the first waist hole 41 and is screwed to the body 1 .

[0043] It should be noted that the first fixing member 11 in this embodiment can be simply a bolt, that is, the bolt directly passes through the first waist hole 41 and is threadedly connected to the body 1. When adjusting, the bolt is loosened, and the body 1 is pushed to move the bolt within the first waist hole 41. When it moves to a specified position, the bolt is rotated again to fix the position of the body 1. It is understood that in other specific embodiments, the first fixing member 11 can also be a connecting member such as a screw.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, in a further specific embodiment, the guide rail 2 is provided with an adjustment hole 21, the size of which is larger than the size of the first waist hole 41. The provision of the adjustment hole 21 allows a worker to insert a tool into the adjustment hole 21 and directly tighten or loosen the first fixing member 11 when adjusting the position of the body 1, resulting in a simple structure and convenient adjustment.

[0045] like Figure 6 、 Figure 7As shown in a further embodiment, the adjustment plate 4 has a first mounting hole 42, in which a first guide wheel 43 is disposed. The first guide wheel 43 abuts against a side wall of the guide rail 2. The first guide wheel 43 guides the movement of the pickup basket, reducing friction between the basket and the guide rail 2.

[0046] like Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown in the figure, in a further specific embodiment, the adjustment plate 4 has a second mounting hole 44, in which a second guide wheel 45 is disposed. The second guide wheel 45 abuts against the other side wall of the guide rail 2. The second guide wheel 45 guides the movement of the pickup basket and reduces friction between the basket and the guide rail 2.

[0047] like Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown in a further specific embodiment, the first mounting hole 42 and the second mounting hole 44 are respectively provided at the front and rear ends of the adjustment plate 4. It should be understood that the front and rear ends referred to in this embodiment refer to the ends adjacent to the side walls of the guide rail 2. This arrangement not only guides the movement of the pickup basket, but also confines the pickup basket within the guide rail 2, resulting in a simple structure and strong practicality.

[0048] like Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, in a further specific embodiment, the adjustment plate 4 is provided with a mounting portion 46, the mounting portion 46 being perpendicular to the adjustment plate 4, the mounting portion 46 being provided with a third mounting hole 47, a third guide wheel 48 being provided in the third mounting hole 47, and the third guide wheel 48 being abutted against the bottom wall of the guide rail 2. The provision of the third guide wheel 48 guides the movement of the pickup basket, reduces the friction between the basket and the guide rail 2, and can also limit the position of the main body 1 in cooperation with the guide rail 2. It should be noted that an adapter plate is provided between the adjustment plate 4 and the main body 1, and the adapter plate can better enable the adjustment plate 4 to be mounted on the main body 1.

[0049] like Figure 2 、 Figure 5 As shown, in a further specific embodiment, a fixing plate 5 is mounted on the other side of the body 1, a first end of the fixing plate 5 is connected to the body 1, and a second end of the fixing plate 5 is connected to the transmission belt 3. This arrangement of the transmission belt 3 drives the body 1 to move up and down via the fixing plate 5, resulting in a simple structure and easy maintenance.

[0050] like Figure 2 、 Figure 5As shown, in a further specific embodiment, a second fixing member 51 is provided at the first end of the fixing plate 5, and a second waist hole 12 is formed on the other side of the body 1. The second fixing member 51 passes through the second waist hole 12 and extends through the other side of the body 1. As a preferred embodiment, the second fixing member 51 of this embodiment can be a pin. When adjusting the position of the body 1, the body 1 can be directly moved to move the second fixing member 51 within the second waist hole 12.

[0051] It is understandable that a nut may be provided on the second fixing member of this embodiment to fix the second fixing member, or a nut may not be provided, and the position of the body may be fixed by only the first fixing member.

[0052] Descriptions such as "specific examples" or "some examples" mean that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the schematic expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner. In addition, those skilled in the art can combine and combine different embodiments or examples described in this specification and the features of different embodiments or examples, unless they are mutually inconsistent.

[0053] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. Ordinary technicians in this field can change, modify, replace and modify the above embodiments. As long as they meet the purpose of the present invention, they should be within the scope of protection required by the present invention, such as: different combinations of specific embodiments, different combinations of distinguishing technical features.
