Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vending machine technology, specifically to a vending machine light strip mounting assembly. Background Technology
[0002] A vending machine is a machine that can automatically sell goods. Vending machines can operate 24 hours a day without time restrictions, and can provide goods to consumers anytime and anywhere. They are usually placed in public places such as shopping malls, stations, schools, and factories. When consumers need to buy goods, they do not need to look for stores, as long as there is a vending machine nearby.
[0003] However, existing technologies still have the following problems:
[0004] In existing vending machines, the lighting structure is usually fixed, only illuminating the opening. When loading goods, the light cannot reach the inner or corner areas, obstructing the staff's view and making it impossible to accurately and efficiently arrange the goods neatly. This greatly reduces the speed of dispensing and the convenience of operation. After the door is closed, when consumers look through the glass cabinet to select products, the uneven light distribution makes the details of the products in the weakly lit areas blurry, making it difficult to highlight the product features and catch the consumer's eye at first glance, which is not conducive to stimulating the consumer's desire to buy.
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, the inventors have proposed an automatic vending machine light strip mounting assembly to solve these issues. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the issue that the lighting structure of vending machines is usually fixed, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a vending machine light strip installation component.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automatic vending machine light strip installation assembly, including a body, in which mounting plates are symmetrically arranged, a rotating shaft is rotatably provided on the inner side of the mounting plate, and a carrier plate is provided on one side of the outer surface of the rotating shaft, a strip plate is fixedly provided between the rotating shaft and the carrier plate, a light tube is provided on one side of the carrier plate, a gear is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, an adjusting plate is fixedly provided on one side of the mounting plate, and a lead screw is rotatably provided inside the adjusting plate, a motor is provided on one side of the adjusting plate, and the output end of the motor passes through the adjusting plate and is fixedly connected to the lead screw, a moving block is threadedly sleeved on the outer surface of the lead screw, a drive rod is fixedly provided through the adjusting plate on the lower surface of the moving block, and a toothed plate is fixedly provided on one side of the drive rod, and the toothed plate is meshed with the gear.
[0008] Preferably, three lamps are provided on one of the carrier plates, and the three lamps are distributed at equal intervals. A mounting base is fixedly connected to the inner side of the carrier plate, and two corresponding mounting bases are electrically connected to the lamps.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0010] 1. This utility model uses three equally spaced light tubes and a flexibly adjustable illumination angle. During the loading of goods, the angle of illumination can be adjusted to match the loading of goods. After the door is closed, the goods can be seen more clearly. It meets the requirements of precise illumination angle of light tubes in daily automated operation scenarios, and can provide uniform and suitable lighting for the goods in the vending machine, highlighting the color and appearance of the goods, attracting consumers' attention, enhancing the visual effect of the product display, and thus indirectly promoting the sales of goods.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Example: Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides an automatic vending machine light strip mounting assembly, including a body 1, which is the main body of the automatic vending machine. A mounting plate 2 is symmetrically arranged inside the body 1. Mounting blocks 5 are symmetrically fixed at the upper and lower ends of the mounting plate 2, and the mounting blocks 5 are connected to the body 1 by bolts. A rotating shaft 32 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the mounting plate 2, and a carrier plate 3 is provided on one side of the outer surface of the rotating shaft 32. Support plates 31 are symmetrically fixed on the inner side of the mounting plate 2, and the support plates 31 are rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 32. The rotating shaft 32 and the carrier plate 3... A strip plate 33 is fixedly installed between the components. A lamp tube 4 is installed on one side of the carrier plate 3. The mounting plates 2 are symmetrically arranged inside the machine body 1. The upper and lower ends of the mounting plates 2 are bolted to the machine body 1 using mounting blocks 5. The structure is stable and it is convenient to quickly and firmly assemble the entire light strip mounting assembly into the vending machine. The carrier plate 3 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 32 by means of the strip plate 33. The rotating shaft 32 is also rotatably engaged with the support plate 31 on the inner side of the mounting plate 2. This allows the carrier plate 3 to rotate flexibly around the rotating shaft 32 at a certain angle, which is convenient for adjusting the illumination direction of the lamp tube 4.
[0020] A gear 34 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 32. An adjusting plate 21 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate 2, and a lead screw 22 is rotatably installed inside the adjusting plate 21. A motor 23 is installed on one side of the adjusting plate 21, and the output end of the motor 23 passes through the adjusting plate 21 and is fixedly connected to the lead screw 22. A moving block 24 is threaded onto the outer surface of the lead screw 22. A drive rod 25 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the moving block 24, passing through the adjusting plate 21. The moving block 24 has a T-shaped cross-section, and a through slot for cooperating with the moving block 24 is opened on the lower surface of the adjusting plate 21. A toothed plate 26 is fixedly installed on one side of the drive rod 25, and the toothed plate 26 meshes with the gear 34. When the angle of the lamp tube 4 needs to be precisely adjusted, the motor 23 is started. The output end of motor 23 drives lead screw 22 to rotate. Since lead screw 22 and moving block 24 are threadedly connected and the cross-sectional shape of moving block 24 is T-shaped, it is limited by the through groove opened on the lower surface of adjustment plate 21. Moving block 24 can only move linearly along the axis of lead screw 22 and will not rotate. When moving block 24 moves, it drives drive rod 25 fixed on its lower surface to move synchronously. The toothed plate 26 on one side of drive rod 25 also descends. The toothed plate 26 meshes with gear 34 fixedly sleeved on rotating shaft 32. The movement of toothed plate 26 is converted into the rotation of gear 34, which in turn drives rotating shaft 32 to rotate. Finally, the angle of carrier plate 3 and lamp tube 4 installed on carrier plate 3 is changed, realizing precise electric adjustment of illumination angle.
[0021] A limiting frame 27 is fixedly provided on one side of the mounting plate 2, and a retaining strip 28 is fixedly provided on one side of the drive rod 25. The retaining strip 28 is locked in the limiting frame 27. A knob 29 is provided on the side of the adjusting plate 21 away from the motor 23. The knob 29 passes through the adjusting plate 21 and is fixedly connected to the lead screw 22. The retaining strip 28 on the side of the drive rod 25 is locked in the limiting frame 27. This design can limit the movement trajectory of the drive rod 25 and prevent it from deviating or shaking during movement. It ensures that the gear plate 26 and the gear 34 mesh stably and accurately, and ensures that the entire adjustment system operates smoothly and reliably. In case of special circumstances, such as motor failure or when only fine adjustment is needed, the rotation state of the lead screw 22 can be changed by manually adjusting the knob 29. This can also drive the moving block 24 to move, drive the gear plate 26, and then adjust the lamp tube angle. The operation method is relatively flexible.
[0022] like Figure 4-5As shown, a mounting base 41 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the carrier plate 3, and two corresponding mounting bases 41 are electrically connected to the lamp tubes 4. There are three lamp tubes 4 on one of the carrier plates 3, and the three lamp tubes 4 are distributed at equal intervals. The lamp tubes 4 are fixedly installed through the mounting bases 41 on the inner side of the carrier plate 3. The two corresponding mounting bases 41 are electrically connected to the lamp tubes 4 to ensure that the lamp tubes can be powered on and emit light. The three lamp tubes 4 distributed at equal intervals and the flexibly adjustable illumination angle can provide uniform and suitable lighting for the products in the vending machine, highlight the color and appearance of the products, attract consumers' attention, enhance the visual effect of product display, and thus indirectly promote product sales.
[0023] Working principle: The upper and lower ends of the mounting plate 2 are bolted to the body 1 using mounting blocks 5, which makes the structure stable and facilitates the quick and secure assembly of the entire light strip mounting assembly into the vending machine. The carrier plate 3 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 32 by means of the strip plate 33. The rotating shaft 32 is also rotatably engaged with the support plate 31 on the inner side of the mounting plate 2. This allows the carrier plate 3 to rotate flexibly around the rotating shaft 32 at a certain angle, which facilitates the adjustment of the illumination direction of the light tube 4.
[0024] When the angle of the lamp tube 4 needs to be precisely adjusted, the motor 23 is started. The output end of the motor 23 drives the lead screw 22 to rotate. Since the lead screw 22 and the moving block 24 are threadedly connected, and the cross-sectional shape of the moving block 24 is T-shaped, it is limited by the through groove opened on the lower surface of the adjusting plate 21. The moving block 24 can only move linearly along the axis of the lead screw 22 and will not rotate. When the moving block 24 moves, it drives the drive rod 25 fixed on its lower surface to move synchronously. The toothed plate 26 on one side of the drive rod 25 also descends. The toothed plate 26 meshes with the gear 34 fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 32. The movement of the toothed plate 26 is converted into the rotation of the gear 34, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 32 to rotate. Finally, the angle of the carrier plate 3 and the lamp tube 4 installed on the carrier plate 3 is changed, realizing the precise electric adjustment of the illumination angle.
[0025] The locking strip 28 on one side of the drive rod 25 is locked in the limiting frame 27. This design can limit the movement trajectory of the drive rod 25 and prevent it from deviating or shaking during movement. It ensures that the gear plate 26 and the gear 34 mesh stably and accurately, and ensures that the entire adjustment system operates smoothly and reliably. In case of special circumstances, such as motor failure or when only fine adjustment is needed, the rotation state of the lead screw 22 can be changed by manually adjusting the knob 29. This can also drive the moving block 24 to move, thereby driving the gear plate 26 to adjust the lamp tube angle. The operation method is relatively flexible.
[0026] The lamp tube 4 is fixedly installed through the mounting base 41 on the inner side of the carrier plate 3. The two corresponding mounting bases 41 are electrically connected to the lamp tube 4 to ensure that the lamp tube can be powered on and emit light. The three lamp tubes 4, which are evenly distributed vertically and vertically, and the flexibly adjustable illumination angle can provide uniform and suitable lighting for the products in the vending machine, highlight the color and appearance of the products, attract consumers' attention, enhance the visual effect of product display, and thus indirectly promote product sales.
[0027] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
