Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned vending machine technology, specifically a dispensing structure and an unmanned vending machine. Background Technology

[0002] Unmanned vending machines are self-service vending systems based on Internet of Things (IoT) technology, enabling 24 / 7 unattended operation. They integrate multiple functions such as smart payment, remote monitoring, and inventory management, providing consumers with a convenient and efficient shopping experience. Unmanned vending machines are typically placed in public places such as universities, hospitals, shopping malls, scenic spots, airports, factories, hotels, office buildings, offices, subway stations, train stations, and high-speed rail stations. They efficiently reach consumers, solving the "last mile" problem and providing uninterrupted 24 / 7 service. Through modern technology, unmanned vending machines offer consumers a more convenient and efficient shopping method while also providing merchants with new retail channels, making them an important component of the smart retail era.

[0003] Conventional vending machines use a cover with a spring-loaded self-resetting hinge to cover the retrieval opening. However, since it needs to be manually pushed and its structure folds inward, it is prone to structural interference with items that have fallen into the vending machine. This not only blocks the opening of the cover but also affects the retrieval of the goods, thus impacting the user experience, structural convenience, and flexibility to varying degrees.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and proposed a delivery structure and unmanned vending machine. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a delivery structure and an unmanned vending machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a dispensing structure and an unmanned vending machine, comprising a vending machine assembly and a movable door assembly. The movable door assembly is installed at the lower end of one side of the vending machine assembly, and a shock-absorbing assembly is horizontally installed at the bottom of the inner side of the vending machine assembly. A first electric roller is horizontally mounted above the movable door assembly, and second electric rollers are horizontally mounted at both ends of the first electric roller. A buffer seat is provided on the side of the shock-absorbing assembly away from the movable door assembly, and a goods rack is arranged above the buffer seat. The movable door assembly includes a movable door panel, a sealing ring, a lifting slider, and a guide rail. A sealing ring is installed on one side surface of the movable door panel, and lifting sliders are installed on both sides of the movable door panel. The side of the lifting slider away from the movable door panel is connected to the guide rail.

[0007] Furthermore, the vending machine component includes a vending machine body, a pickup port, and a counterweight base. The pickup port is located at the lower end of the front facade of the vending machine body, and a counterweight base is connected to the bottom of the vending machine body.

[0008] Furthermore, the movable door panel is located inside the dispensing opening, and the sealing ring is attached to the inner edge surface of the dispensing opening. The guide rail is vertically installed inside the lower end of the vending machine body.

[0009] Furthermore, the shock absorption assembly includes a buffer base, a buffer column, and a shock absorption plate. The buffer column is vertically mounted on the top of the buffer base, and the shock absorption plate is connected to the top of the buffer column.

[0010] Furthermore, the buffer columns are equidistantly arrayed and installed on the surface of the buffer base, and the shock-absorbing plate is horizontally installed on the top of the buffer columns, and the shock-absorbing plate is horizontally positioned on one side of the bottom edge inside the dispensing port.

[0011] Furthermore, the first electric roller is installed on the front inside of the vending machine assembly, and the second electric roller is installed on the left and right sides inside the vending machine assembly. The first electric roller and the second electric roller are on the same horizontal central axis, and both the first electric roller and the second electric roller are horizontally mounted above the movable door assembly.

[0012] Furthermore, the buffer seat is configured with a ramp structure on the side near the movable door assembly, and the shock absorption assembly is horizontally installed at the bottom front of the ramp surface of the buffer seat.

[0013] An unmanned vending machine is provided, which is equipped with the dispensing structure described above.

[0014] This utility model provides a delivery structure and an unmanned vending machine, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This utility model features a movable door assembly installed on the surface of the vending machine's main body near the pickup port. Under the operation of a lifting slider, the movable door panel connected to it can be adjusted vertically along the guide rail surface, enabling rapid opening and closing of the pickup port. This structure minimizes structural interference during opening and closing, preventing users from getting stuck when retrieving items. It also maximizes the structural exposure of the pickup port, providing ample space for users to retrieve items. Furthermore, a sealing ring on the side of the movable door panel near the pickup port ensures a certain degree of structural sealing after the door closes, preventing foreign objects from entering and affecting the quality of the items. The entire movable door assembly also minimizes the risk of the door panel being easily opened by external forces, providing a degree of structural protection for the interior.

[0016] 2. This utility model involves horizontally installing a shock-absorbing component, a first electric roller, and a second electric roller on the inner bottom and middle inner wall surfaces of the vending machine assembly, respectively. A buffer seat is also provided on one side of the shock-absorbing component. When goods fall from the shelf surface, they first contact the buffer seat structure. The buffer seat cushions the falling goods to a certain extent and uses its inclined surface to guide them towards the dispensing opening. When the goods fall onto the surface of the shock-absorbing plate, the expansion and contraction of the buffer column, combined with the use of the buffer base, can absorb and mitigate the impact of the fall as much as possible. To minimize structural damage caused by falling goods and protect their structural integrity, the use of first and second electric rollers, through their rotation, can largely prevent goods from jamming inside the vending machine during their fall from the shelf surface. The rotation of the first and second electric rollers, and the vibrations generated during rotation, can guide jammed goods and ensure their rapid fall, thus effectively conveying the goods and preventing unnecessary problems caused by varying angles of fall.

[0023] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a dispensing structure and unmanned vending machine include a vending machine component 1 and a movable door component 2. The movable door component 2 is installed on the lower end of one side of the vending machine component 1, and a shock-absorbing component 3 is horizontally installed on the bottom of the inner side of the vending machine component 1. A first electric roller 4 is horizontally mounted above the movable door component 2, and second electric rollers 5 are horizontally mounted on both ends of the first electric roller 4. A buffer seat 6 is provided on the side of the shock-absorbing component 3 away from the movable door component 2, and a shelf 7 is arranged above the buffer seat 6. The movable door component 2 includes a movable door panel 201, a sealing ring 202, a lifting slider 203, and a guide rail 204. A sealing ring 202 is installed on one side surface of the movable door panel 201, and lifting sliders 203 are installed on both sides of the movable door panel 201. The lifting sliders 203 are located on the side away from the movable door panel 201. The vending machine component 1, connected to the guide rail 204, includes a vending machine body 101, a pickup port 102, and a counterweight 103. The pickup port 102 is located at the lower end of the front facade of the vending machine body 101, and the counterweight 103 is connected to the bottom of the vending machine body 101. A movable door panel 201 is located inside the pickup port 102, and a sealing ring 202 is attached to the inner edge surface of the pickup port 102. The guide rail 204 is vertically installed at the lower end of the interior of the vending machine body 101. A movable door component 2 is installed on the surface of the pickup port 102 on the side inside the vending machine body 101. Under the operation of the lifting slider 203, the movable door panel 201 connected to it can be adjusted vertically along the surface of the guide rail 204, thereby realizing the rapid opening and closing of the pickup port 102.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the shock absorption assembly 3 includes a buffer base 301, buffer columns 302, and a shock absorption plate 303. The buffer columns 302 are vertically mounted on the top of the buffer base 301, and the shock absorption plate 303 is connected to the top of the buffer columns 302. The buffer columns 302 are equidistantly arrayed on the surface of the buffer base 301, and the shock absorption plate 303 is horizontally mounted on the top of the buffer columns 302. The shock absorption plate 303 is horizontally positioned on one side of the bottom edge inside the dispensing port 102. The first electric roller 4 is installed on the front side inside the vending machine assembly 1, and the second electric roller 5 is installed on the left and right sides inside the vending machine assembly 1. The first electric roller 4 and the second electric roller 5 are on the same horizontal central axis. Furthermore, the first electric roller 4 and the second electric roller 5 are both horizontally mounted above the movable door assembly 2. The buffer seat 6 is set with a slope structure on the side near the movable door assembly 2, and the shock absorption component 3 is horizontally installed at the bottom front of the slope surface of the buffer seat 6. When the goods fall from the surface of the shelf 7, they will first come into contact with the structure of the buffer seat 6. With the cooperation of the buffer seat 6, the falling goods will be buffered to a certain extent, and its slope will be used to make them fall towards the pick-up port 102. When the goods fall onto the surface of the shock absorption plate 303, with the expansion and contraction of the buffer column 302 and the use of the buffer base 301, the impact of the falling goods can be absorbed and mitigated as much as possible.

[0026] An unmanned vending machine is provided, which is equipped with the above-mentioned dispensing structure. A movable door assembly 2 is provided on the inner side of the retrieval port 102. The operation of the lifting slider 203 drives the movable door panel 201 to move vertically along the surface of the guide rail 204. This ensures the sealing of the structure while making it easy for users to take out items from the retrieval port 102. This avoids the situation where items get stuck due to the movement of conventional folding door panels. In addition, the first electric roller 4 and the second electric roller 5 further prevent the goods from getting stuck inside the vending machine body 101 during the falling process, which would make it difficult to retrieve the items. The shock absorption assembly 3 minimizes the damage to the goods during the falling process and plays a role in structural protection.

[0027] In summary, as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, when the unmanned vending machine is in use, the selected goods fall from the surface of the shelf 7 inside the vending machine component 1. Because the original position on the surface of the shelf 7 is different, they may come into structural contact with the surface of the first electric roller 4 and the second electric roller 5. Under the action of the horizontal axial rotation of the two, the goods in contact with them will be driven and pulled downward to avoid the problem of the goods getting stuck when falling.

[0028] The product will then come into structural contact with the inclined surface of the buffer seat 6. The buffer seat 6 will provide a certain degree of impact cushioning for the falling product, reducing its impact. Subsequently, with the assistance of the inclined surface, the product will roll toward the side of the pick-up port 102 and fall onto the surface of the shock-absorbing component 3. The shock-absorbing plate 303 that comes into contact with it will press down vertically on the top-connected buffer column 302. In conjunction with the kinetic energy absorption of the buffer base 301, the impact of the fall will be minimized to the greatest extent, thereby protecting the integrity of the falling product.

[0029] After the goods land stably on the surface of the shock-absorbing component 3, the movable door component 2 will operate synchronously. With the operation of the lifting slider 203, the movable door panel 201 with a sealing ring 202 on one side surface will quickly move vertically upward along the surface of the guide rail 204, thereby opening the entire pick-up port 102. Without causing structural interference, it also allows the user to flexibly take out the goods from the inside of the pick-up port 102.

[0030] The embodiments of this utility model are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the utility model to the forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of this utility model, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand this utility model and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
