[0037] Example 1

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1-4 A vending machine with anti-theft function includes a cabinet body 1 and a cabinet door 2. The cabinet body 1 is equipped with a product channel device 3 and a product receiving device 4. The cabinet door 2 is equipped with a product outlet 201 and a door opening and closing device 202 for opening and closing the product outlet 201. The cabinet body 1 is also equipped with an anti-theft device 5.

[0039] The anti-theft device 5 includes an anti-theft plate 501 and a pushing mechanism 502. The pushing mechanism 502 is used to drive the anti-theft plate 501 to move, so that the anti-theft plate 501 blocks the cargo passage device 3 or opens the cargo passage device 3.

[0040] In the embodiment, after the user purchases the goods, the goods are delivered to the pickup device 4 by the goods channel device 3; the pickup device 4 delivers the goods to the outlet 201; then, the driving mechanism 502 drives the anti-theft board 501 to move, so that the anti-theft board 501 blocks the goods channel device 3 close to the outlet 201; then, the outlet 201 is opened by the switch door device 202; at this time, the user can take the purchased goods from the pickup device 4 through the outlet 201, and the user cannot steal the goods on the goods channel device 3 due to the blocking of the anti-theft board 501; and when the user takes out the goods and closes the outlet 201, the driving mechanism 502 drives the anti-theft board 501 to move again, so that the anti-theft board 501 is away from the goods channel device 3, to prevent the anti-theft board 501 from affecting the normal delivery of the goods channel device 3.

[0041] Further, the anti-theft board 501 has an initial state and an anti-theft state;

[0042] When the anti-theft board 501 is in the initial state, the anti-theft board 501 is located at the bottom of the goods channel device 3;

[0043] When the anti-theft board 501 is in the anti-theft state, the anti-theft board 501 is located at the delivery end of the goods channel device 3, and the anti-theft board 501 is located between the pickup device 4 and the goods channel device 3.

[0044] Further, the goods channel device 3 is provided with a plurality of goods channel devices 3 arranged in the vertical direction, and the outlet 201 is close to the bottommost goods channel device 3.

[0045] Further, when the anti-theft board 501 is in the anti-theft state, the anti-theft board 501 plays an anti-theft role on the bottommost goods channel device 3.

[0046] In the embodiment, the goods channel device 3 is provided with a plurality of goods channel devices 3 arranged in the vertical direction, and the outlet 201 is arranged at the bottom of the cabinet door 2; because the goods channel device 3 at the top is far away from the outlet 201, the user cannot steal the goods on the goods channel device 3 at the top, so the anti-theft board 501 only needs to protect the goods on the goods channel device 3 at the bottom.

[0047] Further, the anti-theft device 5 further comprises a connecting piece 503 and a guide rail 504;

[0048] The connecting piece 503 is installed on the driving mechanism 502;

[0049] The anti-theft board 501 is installed on the connecting piece 503;

[0050] The guide rail 504 is installed on the cabinet 1;

[0051] The connecting piece 503 is matched with the guide rail 504.

[0052] Further, the anti-theft device 5 further comprises pulleys 505 (only two pulleys on the left are shown in the figure), which are installed on the connecting piece 503 and are rolling connected to the guide rail 504.

[0053] In the embodiment, by setting the pulleys 505 to roll on the guide rail 504, the stability of the movement of the anti-theft plate 501 can be increased, and the direction of the guide rail 504 is vertical, which can ensure the vertical upward and downward movement of the anti-theft plate 501.

[0054] Further, the anti-theft plate 501 has an "L" shaped cross section, and comprises a horizontal part 5011 and a vertical part 5012; the vertical part 5012 is installed at the end of the horizontal part 5011; and the horizontal part 5011 is installed on the connecting piece 503.

[0055] Further, a round hole 5031 is formed on the connecting piece 503, and an adjustable waist hole 5013 is formed on the anti-theft plate 501; the round hole 5031 and the adjustable waist hole 5013 are fastened by a locking piece (not shown in the figure).

[0056] Further, the locking piece is a self-tapping screw.

[0057] In the embodiment, by setting the connecting hole on the anti-theft plate 501 as the adjustable waist hole 5013, the distance between the vertical part 5012 of the anti-theft plate 501 and the goods channel device 3 can be adjusted by the staff when assembling the anti-theft plate 501.

[0058] Further, the pushing mechanism 502 is a linear motor.

[0059] Although the embodiments of the utility model have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above-mentioned embodiments are exemplary and cannot be understood as the limitation of the utility model, and the ordinary skilled in the art can change, modify, replace and transform the above-mentioned embodiments as long as they meet the purpose of the utility model, which should be within the protection scope of the utility model, for example: different combinations of each specific embodiment, different combinations of each different technical feature.
