[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown,

[0027] An automatic toilet paper vending machine includes an upper housing 1, a lower housing 2, a shelf 6, and a pushing mechanism 8. The upper housing 1 is located on top of the lower housing 2 and forms the outer shell of the vending machine, providing protection and support. The lower housing 2 has a paper dispensing port 3 located at the front of the lower housing 2 for users to take out toilet paper. This design is simple and can effectively encapsulate the various functional modules of the machine inside the housing, reducing the interference of the external environment on the internal system, while making it convenient for users to take out paper at the paper dispensing port 3.

[0028] The upper housing 1 is equipped with a first paper storage slot 4 and a second paper storage slot 5. These two slots are located inside the upper housing and are used to store toilet paper. Maintenance personnel can easily place the toilet paper on the shelf 6. When the toilet paper on the shelf 6 is exhausted, maintenance personnel can retrieve toilet paper from the first and second paper storage slots 4 and place it on the shelf 6. This partitioned design stores different types or sizes of toilet paper, improving flexibility and facilitating maintenance. Furthermore, by providing multiple paper storage slots, the problem of the machine being unable to continue selling when one slot is empty can be avoided.

[0029] The shelf 6 is fixedly connected inside the lower housing 2 and is used to hold toilet paper; the pushing mechanism 8 is located inside the lower housing 2 and is used to push the toilet paper on the shelf 6 to the paper dispensing port 3.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment, based on Example 1, further optimizes the structure. The pushing mechanism 8 includes a motor 801, with a gear 802 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 801. A sliding block 804 is provided inside the lower housing 2, and a toothed plate 803 is fixedly connected to the sliding block 804. The gear 802 meshes with the toothed plate 803. Movable horizontal plates 806 are fixedly connected to both sides of the sliding block 804, and two movable arms 807 are movably connected to the horizontal plates 806. The table 6 has movable holes 808 for the movable arms 807 to move. The meshing design of the gear 802 and the toothed plate 803 ensures a smooth pushing process and reduces the risk of paper jamming due to friction. The motor 801 provides stable power, enabling the pushing mechanism to work stably for a long time under high-frequency use. The design of the sliding block 804 ensures that the toilet paper is pushed evenly, and the sliding block 804 can simultaneously drive the horizontal plates 806 on both sides to move. In use, when the motor 801 rotates, it drives the gear 802 to rotate. The gear 802 drives the toothed plate 803 to move left and right. The toothed plate 803 drives the sliding block 804 and the horizontal plates 806 on both sides to move left and right. The horizontal plates 806 can push the toilet paper on the shelf 6 to the paper dispensing port 3. The horizontal plates 806 on both sides move back and forth left and right to achieve the effect of paper being dispensed sequentially through the left and right dual channels. The horizontal plates 806 drive the movable arm 807 to move within the movable hole 808, thereby ensuring the stability of the movement of the horizontal plates 806.

[0032] In this embodiment, the shelf 6 is provided with a sliding groove 805 for the sliding block 804 to move. The sliding groove 805 can ensure the smooth movement of the sliding block and avoid jamming or deviation from the track due to unstable movement, thus enhancing the stability of the pushing process. A partition 7 is fixedly connected to the sliding block 804. The sliding block 804 drives the partition 7 to move, and the partition 7 can ensure that the toilet paper is not pushed too far. A mounting plate 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the lower housing 2, and the motor 801 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 9.

[0033] In this embodiment, an upper cover plate 10 is provided on the top of the upper housing 1, and a front cover plate is provided on the front side of the upper housing 1. A door lock is provided on the upper cover plate 10. The front cover plate can be opened by opening the door lock, which is convenient for maintenance personnel to carry out maintenance and repair.

[0034] All standard parts used in this application can be purchased from the market, and can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art. The control method is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art and is common knowledge in the field. Since this application is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail in this application.

[0035] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains can make various modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of this invention shall be determined by the claims.
