Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vending machine technology, specifically a base servo motor vending mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] A vending machine is a machine that can automatically sell goods. Through pre-set programs and mechanical devices, it automatically delivers goods to consumers after they have completed payment. The emergence of vending machines has greatly improved the convenience and efficiency of selling goods and is widely used in various public places such as shopping malls, stations, and schools. However, vending machines often encounter problems, especially the inability of goods to fall. Therefore, the stability of the internal parts of vending machines should be improved to reduce the probability of damage.
[0003] Existing base-mounted servo-driven vending machines generate vibrations during operation because the servo motor contains components such as motors and reduction gears. Especially after a period of use, the vibration amplitude increases due to wear on the gears and other parts, and the machine cannot effectively reduce the vibration, thus affecting the overall stability of the vending machine.
[0004] Therefore, a sales organization for base servo motors is proposed to address the above issues. Utility Model Content

[0020] 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.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a base-mounted servo-driven vending mechanism, including a storage pipe 1 and a sliding base 6. The top of the sliding base 6 is connected to a housing 7 by screws, and the top of the housing 7 is connected to a support base 15 by bolts for connecting a telescope. The housing 7 has a storage slot inside, and a base fixing position 16 is provided inside the storage slot. The base fixing position 16 is screwed to the storage pipe 1. A fixing bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the outside of the storage pipe 1 for supporting the storage pipe 1. A servo motor body 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing bracket 2. The precise control of the servo motor body 3 can ensure accurate product dispensing, reducing the probability of dispensing errors and jamming. The output end of the servo motor body 3 drives the rotating bracket 4 to rotate. A baffle plate 5 is provided inside the fixing bracket 2. The outside of the rotating bracket 4 is slidably set at the bottom outlet position of the storage pipe 1 to control the entry and exit of products.
[0022] Specifically, a rubber seat 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the support base 15, and a positioning pin 14 is provided at the center of the top of the rubber seat 9 for assembling the telescope inside the positioning pin 14 at the top of the rubber seat 9.
[0023] Furthermore, the sliding base 6 is used to support the vending machine. The top of the sliding base 6 is equipped with a shelf base plate 10 for placing and purchasing goods. The front top of the outer shell 7 is provided with a transparent panel 17 for observing the flow of goods and reminding staff to replenish the stock in time. The bottom of the transparent panel 17 is provided with a maintenance cover 18 for quick opening during maintenance. The transparent panel 17 is made of transparent acrylic material. The top of the inner part of the outer shell 7 is fixedly connected to a payment operation interface 12. After the consumer selects a product through the payment operation interface 12, the control system will query the number of the beverage's storage channel and query the product storage cabinet 13.
[0024] Furthermore, a retrieval window 11 is provided below the transparent panel 17. The retrieval window 11 is flipped on the outside of the outer casing 7. By opening the retrieval window 11, items can be taken out from the top of the shelf base 10.
[0025] It is worth noting that the inner fixed connection of the outer shell 7 is reinforced with a reinforcing rib 8, and the other end of the reinforcing rib 8 is fixedly connected to the inside of the top of the outer shell 7 to enhance the rigid connection.
[0026] It is worth noting that the interior of the storage pipe 1 is set as a square groove, and a protrusion is fixedly connected to the outer side of the top of the rubber seat 9. The protrusion is used to adapt the telescope, making it easy to assemble the telescope on the top of the rubber seat 9.
[0027] The servo motor body 3 is existing technology and will not be described in detail. Additionally, this utility model also includes a goods storage cabinet 13, a payment interface 12, and switches, etc., which are not the main technical points of this patent and will not be described in detail. The "front, rear, left, and right" views of this device are... Figure 1 The direction shown in the diagram is the reference.
[0028] Working principle:
[0029] First, the user slides the outer side of the storage pipe 1 into the interior of the fixed bracket 2, connecting the two together. The rotating bracket 4 is then mounted with the servo motor body 3. The servo motor body 3 controls the rotating bracket 4 to rotate. The rotating bracket 4 slides between the top of the baffle plate 5 and the interior of the storage pipe 1. When a consumer selects a product through the payment interface 12, the control system retrieves the number of the beverage's storage channel and sends a control signal to the servo motor body 3. Upon receiving the control signal, the servo motor starts working. According to the preset program and parameters, the servo motor body 3 drives the rotating bracket 4 to rotate at a certain angle or perform a linear pushing motion. The product slides out from inside the product storage cabinet 13 and falls to the top of the shelf base 10. The product is then retrieved from the top of the shelf base 10 by opening the retrieval window 11.
[0030] During the product dispensing process, the vending machine is equipped with a detection device to check whether the product has been successfully dispensed. When the product passes the sensor, the sensor sends a signal back to the control system. If the product is dispensed normally, the control system records the transaction as complete and waits for the next purchase instruction. If an abnormal product dispensing is detected, the control system can observe the internal situation by viewing the transparent panel 17. The control system will then initiate the corresponding fault handling procedure, which may involve attempting to drive the servo motor to dispense the product again, or sending a fault alarm message to maintenance personnel, indicating that there is a product dispensing malfunction that needs to be addressed. After being notified, the staff will open the maintenance cover 18 to perform internal repairs.
[0031] The rotating bracket 4 and the servo motor body 3 are mounted together on the fixed bracket 2, and the vending mechanism is assembled. The assembled servo motor vending mechanism is fixed inside the support base 15.
