[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0036] Embodiment 1

[0037] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 , a take-out door of a vending machine comprises a door frame 1, a door plate 2 is arranged in the door frame 1, and the door plate 2 is movable in the door frame 1 to realize opening and closing of the take-out door. A limiting shaft 3 is arranged on the door frame 1, and the limiting shaft 3 is movable. When the take-out door is locked, the limiting shaft 3 is extended to stop the movement of the door plate 2. When the take-out door is opened, the limiting shaft 3 is retracted, and the door plate 2 is movable in the door frame 1. The take-out door of the vending machine uses the limiting shaft 3 to automatically lock the take-out door, which is simple in structure, convenient to use, and ensures the safety and hygiene of the goods.

[0038] Specifically, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a traction rope 4 is connected to the door plate 2, and the traction rope 4 pulls the door plate 2 to open and close the take-out door. Further, one end of the traction rope 4 is connected to the door plate 2, and the other end of the traction rope 4 is connected to an electric push rod 5. The electric push rod 5 drives the traction rope 4 to pull the door plate 2, so that the door plate 2 is movable in the door frame 1. The electric push rod 5 controls the start and stroke of the traction rope 4, so that the take-out door is automatically opened and closed.

[0039] Preferably, referring to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , the limiting shaft 3 is installed on the vending machine through a mounting plate 31. Specifically, the mounting plate 31 serves as a fixed base and is connected to the main body of the equipment through four screw holes to ensure the stability of the structure. Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , one end of the limiting shaft 3 is connected to a first roller 32, and the traction rope 4 is arranged on the first roller 32. A plurality of second rollers 33 are arranged on the mounting plate 31, and the traction rope 4 is arranged on the second rollers 33. Further, one end of the limiting shaft 3 is provided with a bayonet 34, and the first roller 32 is fixed in the bayonet 34. The traction rope 4 passes through the bayonet 34 and is connected to the first roller 32, and is in contact with the second roller 33.

[0040] Optionally, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the door frame 1 is provided with a guide rail 11, the door plate 2 moves on the guide rail 11, the door frame 1 is provided with a notch 12 corresponding to the guide rail 11, and the limiting shaft 3 extends into the guide rail 11 through the notch 12 to limit the door plate 2. When the take-out door is closed, the limiting shaft 3 extends into the guide rail 11 to block the door plate 2, so that the take-out door is locked. When the take-out door is opened, the limiting shaft 3 withdraws from the guide rail 11, and the door plate 2 can freely move on the guide rail 11 to open the take-out door. Specifically, the door plate 2 is provided with a guide part 21, which is in contact with the limiting shaft 3, facilitating the movement of the door plate 2 and reducing the damage of the limiting shaft 3 to the door plate 2.

[0041] Specifically, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the take-out door of the vending machine uses the limiting shaft 3 for self-locking, solves the problems of complex operation and large safety hazards of the take-out door of the vending machine, and realizes the automatic closing and locking functions of the take-out door. The use of the traction rope 4 to pull the door plate 2 also prevents the phenomenon of the take-out door plate 2 falling and hitting the hand due to the fracture / deformation of the take-out door limiting part. At the same time, the safety and hygiene of the goods are ensured, and the overall performance and user experience of the full-automatic vending machine are improved. The limiting shaft 3 is fixed on the mounting plate 31 through a specific mounting method, and other hole positions are designed to facilitate the connection and positioning with other components. As a key component, the limiting shaft 3 is connected to the metal part through a cylindrical positioning pin to form a stable rotating shaft center. The length and position of the limiting shaft 3 are accurately calculated to ensure that it can be accurately inserted into the notch 12 of the door frame 1 when the take-out door is closed, forming an effective limiting state. When the take-out door moves in the closing direction along the preset track, the notch 12 of the door frame 1 gradually approaches the limiting shaft 3. Once the notch 12 is aligned with the limiting shaft 3, the limiting shaft 3 will be automatically inserted into the notch 12 under the push of the door plate 2. At this time, due to the blocking action of the limiting shaft 3, the take-out door cannot continue to move, thereby realizing the self-locking function. The unlocking process is realized through reverse operation, that is, when the take-out door needs to be opened, the limiting shaft 3 is pulled out of the notch 12 through external operation (such as button, handle, etc.), the limiting state is released, and the take-out door can be smoothly opened.

[0042] Embodiment 2

[0043] Referring to Figures 6 to 9 , the take-out door of the vending machine comprises: a door frame 1, the door frame 1 is provided with a door plate 2, and the door plate 2 moves in the door frame 1 to realize the opening and closing of the take-out door. The door frame 1 is provided with a limiting shaft 3, the limiting shaft 3 is movable, the limiting shaft 3 extends out to block the movement of the door plate 2 when the take-out door is locked. When the take-out door is opened, the limiting shaft 3 is retracted, and the door plate 2 moves in the door frame 1.

[0044] Specifically, referring to Figures 6 to 9 The door frame 1 is connected with a limiting metal sheet 13, the limiting metal sheet 13 is provided with a through hole 14, and the limiting shaft 3 extends into the through hole 14 to limit the door plate 2. Further, when the take-out door is closed, the electromagnetic switch 35 controls the limiting shaft 3 to extend into the through hole 14 of the limiting metal sheet 13 to lock the door plate 2. When the take-out door needs to be opened, the electromagnetic switch 35 controls the limiting shaft 3 to withdraw, the limiting metal sheet 13 can be moved, and the door plate 2 is moved on the door frame 1 to realize the opening and closing of the take-out door.

[0045] The take-out door of the vending machine adopts the simple self-locking device of the limiting shaft 3, and the structure is simple. If a certain structure has a problem, it can be disassembled and repaired or replaced as a consumable.

[0046] The above has described the embodiments of the present application, and the above description is exemplary, not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and changes are obvious to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
