TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a vending machine technical field more specifically, the utility model relates to community shopping automatic vending machine. BACKGROUND
[0002] In today's community life, the application of automatic vending machine is more and more extensive, and provides the convenient shopping experience for residents. With the development of science and technology and the acceleration of people's life rhythm, the residents' requirement of community shopping convenience and efficiency is increasingly improved. The traditional community shopping mode, such as going to supermarket and convenience store shopping, is often limited by business hours, distance and other factors, and cannot meet the demand of residents shopping at any time. The emergence of automatic vending machine alleviates this problem to some extent, but there are still many deficiencies in actual use.
[0003] The existing part of automatic vending machine is not perfect in delivery and replenishment mechanism. Some vending machines use simple spring or slide delivery mode, which is prone to goods jamming and delivery failure, resulting in poor shopping experience. In terms of replenishment, most vending machines need manual placement of goods one by one, which is complicated and inefficient, and consumes a lot of manpower and time cost. Moreover, these vending machines lack effective detection of goods falling, and cannot timely find delivery abnormalities, affecting vending efficiency and user satisfaction.
[0004] In addition, the structure design of part of automatic vending machine is unreasonable, and lacks the convenience of cabinet maintenance and goods management. For example, the top of the cabinet is not designed with a convenient replenishment structure, and the entire top cover needs to be opened during replenishment, which is inconvenient to operate and has safety hazards; in terms of goods storage, there is no good anti-falling and automatic replenishment design, which is prone to goods falling due to external shaking, affecting goods display and sales.
[0005] Therefore, the community shopping automatic vending machine is proposed. Utility model content
