[0053] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 12 and Figure 15 Each module vending machine 1 includes a vending cabinet 10 and a circuit board 11. The circuit board 11 is located inside the vending cabinet 10 and is used to control the vending cabinet 10. A cabinet door 1031 is provided on the front panel 103 of the vending cabinet 10, and the cabinet door 1031 is connected to a dispensing mechanism 3 controlled by the circuit board 11. Input terminals 110 and output terminals 111 are provided on the rear side of the vending cabinet 10, respectively electrically connected to the circuit board 11. Input wires and output wires are respectively connected to the input terminals 110 and 111. The input wires can serve as the input terminals of the vending cabinet 10, supplying power to the vending cabinet 10, and the output wires serve as the output terminals of the vending cabinet 10, supplying power to another vending cabinet 10.

[0054] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The top surface 105 and bottom surface 102 of the vending machine 10 are respectively provided with a first slot 1052 and a first buckle 1026. The first buckle 1026 on one vending machine 10 is used to engage with the first slot 1052 on another vending machine 10. Of course, a locking structure is provided between two adjacent vending machines 10 in a vertical combination to lock the two adjacent vending machines 10. Furthermore, referring to… Figure 5 and Figure 7The bottom surface 102 of the vending cabinet 10 is provided with a first wiring groove 1021, a second wiring groove 1022 and a first wire threading opening 1025. The first wire threading opening 1025 communicates with the interior of the vending cabinet 10. The first wiring groove 1021 and the second wiring groove 1022 are connected to the first wire threading opening 1025. The input wire and the output wire can run along the first wiring groove 1021 and the second wiring groove 1022 respectively. The top surface 105 of the vending cabinet 10 is provided with a second wire threading opening 1051 that communicates with the interior of the vending cabinet 10.

[0055] Among them, reference Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 When the two vending cabinets 10 are vertically combined and spliced, the output wires of the vending cabinet 10, which are routed along their own second wiring groove 1022, enter the vending cabinet 10 through the first wiring slot 1025 and then exit through the second wiring slot 1051 on the vending cabinet 10 to connect with the input wires of the other vending cabinet 10, which are routed along the first wiring groove 1021 of the other vending cabinet 10.

[0056] This utility model utilizes a modular vending machine, that is, multiple modular vending machines 1 are combined and spliced ​​to form a modular combined automatic vending machine. When vertically assembling the modular vending machines 1, the first buckle 1026 on the vending cabinet 10 is engaged with the first slot 1052 on another vending cabinet 10, and then the two vending cabinets 10 are locked together by a locking structure, thus completing the vertical assembly of two modular vending machines 1, allowing the operator to freely assemble and combine them according to needs. When any two adjacent vending cabinets 10 are vertically assembled, the input wire is connected to the input terminal 110, and the output wire is connected to the input terminal 110. By connecting to the output terminal 111, the input wire of the first vending machine 10 can be used as a power supply wire to connect to the mains power. The output wire that runs along the second wiring groove 1022 on the first vending machine 10 passes through the first wiring slot 1025 into the first vending machine 10, and then comes out from the second wiring slot 1051 of the first vending machine 10 to connect with the input wire that runs along the first wiring groove 1021 on the second vending machine 10. In this way, the combined power supply of the two modular vending machines 1 can be completed, avoiding the messy wiring between the various modular vending machines 1 of the modular combined automatic vending machine.

[0057] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 5 , Figure 14 , Figure 15The vending cabinet 10 is provided with an installation part 101. The rear side panel 104 of the vending cabinet 10 has a notch 1041 that communicates with the installation part 101 at the position corresponding to the installation part 101. The circuit board 11 is provided on the installation part 101. The installation part 101 is provided with two terminal mounting ports 1011. The input terminal 110 and the output terminal 111 are respectively fixed on the two terminal mounting ports 1011. The end of the first wiring groove 1021 and / or the second wiring groove 1022 facing away from the first wire through groove 1025 communicates with the notch 1041, so that the input wire and the output wire can enter the first wiring groove 1021 and the second wiring groove 1022 respectively.

[0058] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 , Figure 15 - Figure 18 The first wiring trough 1021 and / or the second wiring trough 1022 are curved wiring troughs. Curved wiring troughs avoid right angles and sharp angles, thus reducing the abruptness and clutter of the wires. Furthermore, the curved design of the first wiring trough 1021 and / or the second wiring trough 1022 reduces the pressure and friction experienced by the wires during installation, thereby lowering the risk of wire damage or aging. Of course, several wire-clamping parts 1028 are also provided within the first wiring trough 1021 and / or the second wiring trough 1022. The wire-clamping parts 1028 in the first wiring trough 1021 are used to clamp the wires within the first wiring trough 1021, and the wire-clamping parts 1028 in the second wiring trough 1022 are used to clamp the wires within the second wiring trough 1022. Specifically, the above-mentioned wire clamping part 1028 is provided at both ends of the first wiring groove 1021 and / or the second wiring groove 1022 to further prevent the wire from coming loose in the first wiring groove 1021 and / or the second wiring groove 1022.

[0059] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The first buckle 1026 is an L-shaped buckle, and the first slot 1052 is a square slot. The L-shaped buckle and the square slot work together to allow the two vending machine modules 1 to be quickly joined vertically. Based on this, referring to... Figure 7 and Figure 14 The locking structure includes a locking head 1053, a locking element, and a locking hole 1042. The locking head 1053 is disposed on the top surface 105 of the vending cabinet 10, and the locking hole 1042 is disposed on the rear side of the vending cabinet 10. The locking element passes through the locking hole 1042 on one of the vending cabinets 10 and is threadedly connected to the locking head 1053 on the other vending cabinet 10 for locking. In this way, two vertically spliced ​​modular vending machines 1 can be locked and fixed.

[0060] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6Each vending cabinet 10 has four first card slots 1052 and four L-shaped buckles. Each first card slot 1052 corresponds to each L-shaped buckle. The four first card slots 1052 are respectively located at the four corners of the top surface 105 of the vending cabinet 10. The four L-shaped buckles are respectively located at the four corners of the bottom surface of the vending cabinet 10.

[0061] Based on the above structure, referring to Figure 6 - Figure 10 The vending machine 10 has a second slot 1061 and a second buckle on its left side 106 and right side 107, respectively. The second buckle is a Z-shaped buckle 1072. The second slot 1061 is internally connected to the vending machine 10, and the Z-shaped buckle 1072 on one vending machine 10 is engaged with the second slot 1061 on the other vending machine 10. When two vending machines 10 are joined together horizontally, the Z-shaped buckle 1072 on one vending machine 10 is inserted into the second slot 1061 on the other vending machine 10. Since multiple vending machines are joined horizontally and vertically to form multiple vending machines, each layer has multiple vending machines 10 joined horizontally; for the bottom layer of adjacent horizontally joined vending machines 10, refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 A locking element 9 can be installed between the L-shaped buckle of one vending cabinet 10 and the L-shaped buckle of another vending cabinet 10. The locking element 9 locks the bottom adjacent left and right vending cabinets 10 tightly. In the two vending cabinets 10 that are vertically spliced ​​together, since the locking element is threadedly connected to the locking head 1053 to lock the two vending cabinets 10 together, the adjacent left and right vending cabinets 10 on the upper layer will not come loose. This achieves the left and right and vertical combination and fixation of the two vending cabinets 10, and improves the effect of combination and fixation.

[0062] Furthermore, referring to Figure 7 - Figure 12 The vending machine 10 has a mounting groove 1071 on its right side 107. The Z-shaped buckle 1072 includes a fixing part 1073 and a snap-fit ​​part 1074. The fixing part 1073 and the snap-fit ​​part 1074 are connected to form a "Z"-shaped structure. The fixing part 1073 can be fixed in the mounting groove 1071 with screws. The snap-fit ​​part 1074 on one vending machine 10 is engaged with the second snap-fit ​​groove 1061 on another vending machine 10, thus enabling the two vending machines 10 to be combined and spliced ​​side-by-side. For example, each vending machine 10 has two Z-shaped buckles 1072 and two second snap-fit ​​grooves 1061, with each second snap-fit ​​groove 1061 corresponding to one Z-shaped buckle 1072. The two Z-shaped buckles 10721 are located at the top and bottom of the right side 107, respectively. This improves the fixation effect after the two vending machines 10 are combined and spliced ​​side-by-side, preventing loosening.

[0063] In summary, the modular combination vending machine of this utility model can be assembled horizontally or vertically, greatly expanding the application scenarios of the modular combination vending machine.

[0064] Of course, to avoid wiring chaos when any two adjacent vending machine modules 1 are assembled side-by-side, a third wiring groove 1023 and a fourth wiring groove 1024 are provided on the bottom surface 102 of the vending cabinet 10 of each vending machine module 1. One end of the third wiring groove 1023 and the fourth wiring groove 1024 is connected to the aforementioned notch 1041, and the other end of the third wiring groove 1023 and the fourth wiring groove 1024 respectively passes through the left and right sides of the bottom surface 102 of the vending cabinet 10. Of course, the input wire connected to the input terminal 110 and the output wire connected to the output terminal 111 can be routed along the third wiring groove 1023 and the fourth wiring groove 1024 respectively.

[0065] For example, when two modular vending machines 1 are combined and spliced ​​in the left-right direction, the third wiring groove 1023 on the first vending cabinet is connected to the fourth wiring groove 1024 on the second vending cabinet. At this time, the input wire on the first modular vending cabinet is used as the power line and is routed along the third wiring groove 1023 on the first modular vending cabinet to connect to the mains power. The output wire on the first modular vending cabinet is routed along the fourth wiring groove 1024 on the first modular vending cabinet and is electrically connected to the input wire that is routed along the third wiring groove 1023 on the second modular vending cabinet. In this way, the wiring can be completed when the two modular vending machines 1 are combined and spliced ​​horizontally in the left-right direction, avoiding the wiring chaos when any two adjacent modular vending machines 1 are combined and spliced ​​in the left-right direction.

[0066] In another example, when three modular vending machines 1 are combined and spliced ​​in the left-right direction, the three modular vending machines 1 are, from left to right, the first modular vending machine, the second modular vending machine, and the third modular vending machine. The input wire on the first modular vending machine cabinet is used as the power line and is routed along the third wiring groove 1023 on the first modular vending machine cabinet to connect to the mains power. The output wire on the first modular vending machine cabinet is routed along the fourth wiring groove 1024 on the first modular vending machine cabinet and is electrically connected to the input wire that is routed along the third wiring groove 1023 on the second modular vending machine cabinet. The output wire on the second modular vending machine cabinet is routed along the fourth wiring groove 1024 on the second modular vending machine cabinet and is electrically connected to the input wire that is routed along the third wiring groove 1023 on the third modular vending machine cabinet. And so on, the wiring when multiple modular vending machines 1 are combined and spliced ​​in the left-right direction can be completed.

[0067] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 5 and Figure 15The third wiring groove 1023 and / or the fourth wiring groove 1024 are provided with a plurality of wire-clamping parts 1028 for clamping wires. These wire-clamping parts 1028 can clamp the wires within the third wiring groove 1023, preventing the input wires from coming loose. Similarly, the wire-clamping parts 1028 can clamp the wires within the fourth wiring groove 1024, preventing them from coming loose. Specifically, the aforementioned wire-clamping parts 1028 are provided at both opposite ends of the third wiring groove 1023 and / or the fourth wiring groove 1024, further preventing the wires from coming loose within the third wiring groove 1023 and the fourth wiring groove 1024. Furthermore, a wire-clamping part 1028 is also provided at the middle position of the third wiring groove 1023 and / or the fourth wiring groove 1024, further preventing the wires from coming loose.

[0068] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 5 and Figure 15 The third wiring groove 1023 and / or the fourth wiring groove 1024 are arc-shaped wiring grooves. The angle design of the third wiring groove 1023 and the fourth wiring groove can reduce the pressure and friction on the wires during the laying process, thereby reducing the risk of wire damage or aging. In addition, the angle of the third wiring groove 1023 and the fourth wiring groove 1024 can also effectively avoid the "sharp angle" problem that may be caused by right-angle wiring.

[0069] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 5 , Figure 15 and Figure 16 The mounting section 101 is also provided with a power cord through-hole 1012, which connects the notch 1041 and the inner cavity of the vending machine 10. The power cord through-hole 1012 allows the power cord to pass through and electrically connect to the circuit board 11. Specifically, when multiple modular vending machines are combined vertically and horizontally, only one power cord connects to the circuit board 11 of one modular vending machine. For example, the following describes the combination of two modular vending machines horizontally and vertically. Figure 18The four vending machines 1 are vending machine A, vending machine B, vending machine C, and vending machine D. The power cord is only electrically connected to the circuit board 11 on vending machine A. The output wire on vending machine A runs along its second wiring groove 1022 and passes through its first wiring slot 1025 into vending machine A. Then it exits from the second wiring slot 1051 on vending machine A and connects to the input wire running along the first wiring groove 1021 on vending machine B. The input wire runs along the fourth wiring groove on vending machine B. The output wire of the 1024 wiring path connects to the input wire of the third wiring groove 1023 along the upper part of the vending machine C. The output wire of the second wiring groove 1022 along the upper part of the vending machine C passes through the second wiring slot 1051 on the vending machine D and enters the vending machine D. Then it exits through the first wiring slot 1025 on the vending machine D and connects to the input wire of the third wiring groove 1023 along the upper part of the vending machine D. This completes the wiring when multiple vending machines are combined horizontally and vertically. Since the mounting part 101 has a power cable through-hole 1012 for the power cable to pass through and electrically connect to the circuit board 11, refer to... Figure 18 On the right side of module vending machine A, another module vending machine can be spliced ​​together. When module vending machines are spliced ​​together on the right side of module vending machine A along the left and right direction (the left and right direction is also the horizontal X direction), the wires running along the third wiring groove 1023 on module vending machine A are used as output wires.

[0070] In summary, the wiring structure of this modular combination blind box machine can realize the wiring when multiple module vending machines 1 are combined horizontally and vertically, avoiding the messy wiring between the various module vending machines 1 of the modular combination blind box machine and avoiding the risk of wire crossing.

[0071] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 7 and Figure 14 A fifth wiring groove 1027 is also provided on the top surface 105 of the vending cabinet 10. The fifth wiring groove 1027 is connected to the second wiring groove 1051. The fifth wiring groove 1027 on one vending cabinet 10 is directly opposite to the first wiring groove 1021 on the bottom surface 102 of another vending cabinet 10, which can increase the convenience of wiring.

[0072] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 6 and Figure 13 , Figure 19 - Figure 22There are two cabinet doors 1031, each with a dispensing mechanism 3. Each dispensing mechanism 3 is connected to a horizontally sliding push component 21 inside the vending cabinet 10. The push component 21 is mounted on the bottom plate 108 inside the vending cabinet 10 and slides back and forth between the rear and front sides of the vending cabinet 10. A power unit 2, which is a drive motor, is mounted on the bottom plate 108 inside the vending cabinet 10. The power unit 2 is connected to a rotating toggle block 5 inside the vending cabinet 10. The power unit 2 drives the toggle block 5 to rotate counterclockwise, causing one of the push components 21 to slide and thus dispensing one of the dispensing mechanisms 3. The power unit 2 also drives the toggle block 5 to rotate clockwise, causing another push component 21 to slide and thus dispensing another of the dispensing mechanisms 3. Therefore, under the premise of ensuring that only one dispensing mechanism 3 dispenses at a time, each module of the vending machine 1 of this utility model can be driven by one power unit 2 to drive two dispensing mechanisms 3, overcoming the defect of existing vending machines that cannot be driven by one power unit 2 to drive two dispensing mechanisms 3, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the vending machine.

[0073] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 19 - Figure 22 and Figure 25 Each dispensing mechanism 3 is hinged to each cabinet door 1031, and each dispensing mechanism 3 can cover each cabinet door 1031. Each dispensing mechanism 3 has an abutment block 31 on the side facing each pushing component 21; each pushing component 21 includes a sliding strip 22 and a spring 24. The sliding strip 22 is slidably disposed within the vending cabinet 10 along the horizontal Y direction. The hinge pin 1032 that hinges the dispensing mechanism 3 to the vending cabinet 10 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding strip 22 in the horizontal direction. One end of the spring 24 is connected and fixed to the sliding strip 22, and the other end of the spring 24 is connected and fixed to the dispensing mechanism 3. A toggle block 5 is used to toggle the sliding strip 22 to slide away from the cabinet door 1031. When the dispensing mechanism 3 is in the state of covering the cabinet door 1031, the sliding strip 22 presses against the abutment block 31, and the spring 24 is in a compressed and stored state. Figure 21 As shown.

[0074] Specifically, taking one of the dispensing mechanisms 3 as an example, when it is necessary to drive the dispensing mechanism 3 to dispense goods, the power unit 2 drives the actuating block 5 to rotate counterclockwise, causing the actuating block 5 to move the sliding strip 22 on the pushing component 21 to slide in the horizontal Y direction away from the cabinet door 1031. This causes the abutting block 31 on the dispensing mechanism 3 to disengage from the sliding strip 22. At this time, under the elastic force of the spring 24 of the pushing component 21, the dispensing mechanism 3 rotates around the hinge axis 1032 that connects the dispensing mechanism 3 to the vending cabinet 10 and pops out of the cabinet door 1031, achieving the purpose of dispensing the blind box 7. Thus, it can be seen that the dispensing mechanism 3 in this embodiment dispenses the blind box 7 by popping out.

[0075] In the case of the ejection mechanism 3 being in the ejected state, the spring 24 is in the stretched state, such as... Figure 22 As shown.

[0076] In another embodiment, the shipping mechanism 3 can also ship by pushing out the product. Specifically, refer to... Figure 28 The sliding bar 22 is slidably mounted inside the vending cabinet 10 along the horizontal Y-axis via the guide rail 25. The dispensing mechanism 3 is fixed to one end of the sliding bar 22, and a pushing block 223 is fixed to the other end of the sliding bar 22. The power unit 2 drives the actuating block 5 to rotate, which in turn actuates the pushing block 223, causing the sliding bar 22 to slide along the horizontal Y-axis toward the cabinet door 1031. This causes the dispensing mechanism 3 to push out of the cabinet door 1031 along the horizontal Y-axis, achieving the purpose of dispensing. When the consumer removes the blind box 7 from the dispensing mechanism 3, the consumer manually pushes the dispensing mechanism 3, causing it to move along the horizontal Y-axis to the state of sealing the cabinet door 1031, thus returning the dispensing mechanism 3 to its initial position and achieving the purpose of resetting. In summary, the dispensing mechanism 3 in this embodiment uses a pushing method to dispense goods.

[0077] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 21 , Figure 22 , Figure 26 and Figure 27 The slider 22 has a first connecting part 222 on its left or right side that is fixed to the spring 24, thus facilitating the connection and fixation between the slider 22 and the spring 24; see reference. Figure 24 The bottom of the dispensing mechanism 3 is provided with a second connecting part 32 that is connected and fixed to the spring 24, so that the dispensing mechanism 3 can be easily connected and fixed to the spring 24 of the pushing component 21.

[0078] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 22 , Figure 26 and Figure 27Each sliding bar 22 has an inclined surface 221 on its end face near each dispensing mechanism 3, with the inclined direction of each inclined surface 221 facing upward, so that the top of each abutment block 31 can abut against the bottom surface 102 of each sliding bar 22. In addition, the abutment block 31 is set at an angle to the dispensing mechanism 3, which facilitates the abutment block 31 and the sliding bar 22 to press against each other. Taking a dispensing mechanism 3 as an example, since the two ends of the spring 24 of the pushing component 21 are respectively connected and fixed to the dispensing mechanism 3 and the sliding bar 22, when the dispensing mechanism 3 pops out of the cabinet door 1031 and the consumer takes out the blind box 7 inside the dispensing mechanism 3, the consumer manually pushes the dispensing mechanism 3, causing the dispensing mechanism 3 to rotate around the hinge axis 1032 that is hinged to the vending cabinet body 10 and rotate inward of the cabinet door 1031. At this time, the abutting block 31 of the dispensing mechanism 3 will act on the inclined surface 221 on the sliding bar 22, and the force of the abutting block 31 acting on the inclined surface 221 will cause the upper surface of the abutting block 31 to abut against the bottom surface 102 of the sliding bar 22. At this time, the dispensing mechanism 3 is just in the state of sealing the cabinet door 1031.

[0079] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 25 and 27 A groove 220 is provided on the bottom surface 102 of the sliding bar 22. A dial 6 is rotatably installed inside the vending cabinet 10. The rotation axis of the dial 6 extends vertically. The first end of the dial 6 can contact the actuating block 5, and the second end of the dial 6 is inserted into the groove 220. The power unit 2 drives the actuating block 5 to drive the dial 6, causing the sliding bar 22 to slide in the horizontal Y direction away from the cabinet door 1031. Thus, it can be understood that by driving the actuating block 5 to rotate counterclockwise, the actuating block 5 actuates the dial 6 of one pushing component 21, causing the sliding bar 22 of that pushing component 21 to slide in the horizontal Y direction away from the cabinet door 1031; by driving the actuating block 5 to rotate clockwise, the actuating block 5 actuates the dial 6 of another pushing component 21, causing the sliding bar 22 of that pushing component 21 to slide in the horizontal Y direction away from the cabinet door 1031.

[0080] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 25 The sliding bar 22 has oblong grooves 26 at its opposite ends, which vertically penetrate the opposite surfaces of the sliding bar 22 and extend along the sliding direction of the sliding bar 22. Guide posts 23 are slidably fitted within the oblong grooves 26, passing vertically through the oblong grooves 26 and fixed within the vending machine body 10. Therefore, when the sliding bar 22 slides along the horizontal Y-axis, the guide posts 23 slide within the oblong grooves 26, thus limiting the sliding stroke of the sliding bar 22.

[0081] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 6Each vending machine 10 is equipped with an indicator light 8 on its front panel 103. The indicator light 8 is connected to the circuit board 11 and can be used to indicate the working status of the module vending machine 1.

[0082] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 22 - Figure 24 The dispensing mechanism 3 includes a storage box body 33, which is configured as a cabinet door 1031. The receiving cavity 330 of the storage box body 33 stores goods to be sold. In this embodiment, the goods are blind boxes 7. Of course, in other embodiments, the goods stored in the receiving cavity 330 may also be other gifts to be sold.

[0083] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
