[0002] Vending machines are commonly used equipment in commercial automation. They are not limited by time or location, save manpower, and facilitate transactions, representing a new form of retail, often referred to as 24-hour mini-supermarkets. In some developed countries, vending machines have become an indispensable part of daily life. For example, in Japan and some European and American countries, there are already millions of vending machines, roughly one for every 30 people. A significant portion of goods are sold through these machines. Users operate them by entering the product number and quantity on the display screen, inserting coins or swiping a card, and the goods are dispensed from the dispensing slot. In my country, although beverage vending machines are widely used, the per capita ownership remains low, while food vending machines are even more scarce and need further popularization. Therefore, the market potential is vast, and manufacturing vending machines that fully conform to my country's national conditions and truly meet the needs of the Chinese people is a pressing issue that needs to be addressed.
[0003] Existing vending machines equipped with delivery pushers use these pushers to move goods to the next conveyor or retrieval device. The pusher head of these pushers typically acts directly on the goods, resulting in an overly concentrated point of force that may damage the goods or cause them to shift during the delivery process. Therefore, improvements to the existing technology are needed. Utility Model Content

[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] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0020] In this technical solution, the base push rod vending mechanism includes a vending machine base 10. A vending machine body 25 is mounted on the upper end of the vending machine base 10, and a push rod mechanism is mounted on the side wall of the vending machine body 25. The push rod mechanism includes a support bracket 4, with a storage pipe 1 mounted on the top of the support bracket 4. An electric push rod 3 is mounted on the top of the support bracket 4, and a push block 2 is mounted on the driving end of the electric push rod 3. The push block 2 is disposed inside the storage pipe 1. Connecting plates 8 are installed at both the upper and lower ends of the outer wall of the storage pipe 1, and the connecting plates 8 are connected at both ends of their side walls. Each component has mounting holes 9, and fasteners 11 are installed in the mounting holes 9. The fasteners 11 include fastening screws 12 and anti-loosening screws 16. Fastening nuts 13 are screwed onto the outside of the fastening screws 12. Anti-loosening grooves 14 are provided at the bottom end of the fastening screws 12, and anti-loosening screws 16 are screwed into the anti-loosening grooves 14. Anti-loosening sleeves 15 are sleeved on the outside of the anti-loosening sleeves 16. Three limiting posts 23 are installed on the outer wall of the anti-loosening sleeves 15, and the three limiting posts 23 are distributed in a triangle. The inner wall of each limiting post 23 is provided with a spiral groove 24 that mates with the fastening screws 12.
[0021] In this technical solution, the push block is mounted on the electric push rod, the bearing and shaft are mounted together, the connected shaft and bearing are mounted on the support bracket, the electric push rod with the push block is fixed on the support bracket, the storage pipe is placed on the support bracket, and the limit bracket is fitted with the bearing shaft and fixed on the support bracket. The vending mechanism is then assembled, connected to the outer wall of the vending machine body 25 via the mounting plate 8, and uses fastening screws 12 and fastening nuts 13 to achieve the bolts of the prior art. An anti-detachment groove 14 is provided at the bottom of the fastening screw 12, into which the anti-detachment screw 16 is screwed. Three limit posts 23 installed on the anti-detachment cylinder 15 outside the anti-detachment screw 16 hold the fastening nut 13 in place, thereby limiting the fastening nut 13 circumferentially. The spiral groove 24 on the limit post 23 engages with the fastening screw 12, thereby limiting the anti-detachment cylinder 15 and the anti-detachment screw 16.
[0022] In some technical solutions, the inner wall of the anti-detachment cylinder 15 is provided with a reverse internal thread, and the outer part of the anti-detachment screw 16 that fits with the anti-detachment cylinder 15 is provided with a reverse external thread, and the reverse internal thread and the reverse external thread are matched.
[0023] In this technical solution, the external thread of the anti-detachment screw 16 is divided into two parts. The front part mates with the internal thread of the anti-detachment screw groove 14, and the rear part mates with the reverse internal thread of the anti-detachment cylinder 15, thereby installing the anti-detachment cylinder 15 on the outside of the anti-detachment screw 16.
[0024] In some technical solutions, a turntable is installed at the end of the anti-detachment screw 16, and a cross groove is opened on the outer wall of the turntable.
[0025] In this technical solution, the turntable facilitates the rotation of the anti-loosening screw 16, and the cross-shaped groove facilitates operation with a screwdriver.
[0026] In some technical solutions, the outer wall of the fastening nut 13 is provided with an annular groove 17, and the end of the limiting post 23 is set in the annular groove 17.
[0027] In this technical solution, when the anti-loosening screw 16 is screwed into the anti-loosening screw groove 14, the anti-loosening cylinder 15 will rotate accordingly. When the limiting post 23 contacts the fastening nut 13, it can rotate in the annular rotating groove 17 until it contacts the inner wall of the annular rotating groove 17, thereby holding the fastening nut 13 in place and performing circumferential limiting.
[0028] In some technical solutions, a retaining ring 18 is fixedly installed on the upper outer end of the fastening screw 12, and an annular pressure plate 20, a spring 22 and an annular rubber sheet 21 are fitted on the circumferential surface of the fastening screw 12.
[0029] In this technical solution, when the fastening screw 12 is rotated, the annular rubber sheet 21 slides upward due to the action of the screw hole. With further tightening, the annular rubber sheet 21 contacts the fixing ring 18. The annular rubber sheet 21 deforms due to the action of the fixing ring 18, sealing the screw hole. The spring 22 is located on the upper side of the annular pressure plate 20, causing the annular pressure plate 20 to be pressed downward due to the action of the spring 22. The compression block 19 is pressed downward due to the action of the annular pressure plate 20, causing the compression block 19 to further compress the edge of the annular rubber sheet 21, thereby improving the sealing effect. The annular pressure plate 20 is located on the upper side of the fixing ring 18, the spring 22 is located on the upper side of the annular pressure plate 20, and the annular rubber sheet 21 is located on the lower side of the fixing ring 18. The compression block 19 is fixedly installed at the lower edge of the annular pressure plate 20.
[0030] In some technical solutions, the two side walls of the support bracket 4 are equipped with limit brackets 5, and a bearing 6 is assembled between the two limit brackets 5, and a shaft 7 is assembled inside the bearing 6.
