DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments.
[0024] In the description of the utility model, it is understood that the directions or position relations indicated by the terms "middle", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like are the directions or position relations shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and thus cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model.
[0025] In the utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "arrange", "mount", "connect", "connect", "fix" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, can be fixedly connected, can be detachably connected, can be mechanically connected, can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For ordinary skilled persons in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0026] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 A lamp box folding structure of an automatic vending refrigerator, comprising a cabinet body 1 and a lamp box 2, the lamp box is arranged at the upper end of the rear side of the cabinet body, the top end of the cabinet body is provided with a base 3, the upper end of the base is provided with a mounting groove 4, the inner walls on both sides of the mounting groove are provided with first connecting pieces 5, the lower end of the lamp box is embedded in the mounting groove, and the two sides of the lamp box are both provided with second connecting pieces 6, and a damping pivot 7 is connected between each first connecting piece and the second connecting piece of the corresponding side. Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown in the drawings, the damping pivot is assembled and connected with the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece by screws or bolts, which is convenient to disassemble and assemble, the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece are both L-shaped structures, and are respectively welded or screw-connected with the base and the lamp box, so that the assembly structure is stable and reliable, and the lamp box can be flipped or folded at any angle along the damping pivot. The damping pivot is a prior art, and the specific principle will not be described here, and can be purchased on the market, such as the adjustable torque hinge of the guthco brand, so that the lamp box can be turned to the required position. The above structure makes it unnecessary to disassemble the lamp box before transporting the automatic vending refrigerator, which is more convenient to use and has high practicality.
[0027] As shown in Figure 5As shown, the base includes a base plate 301 and two side plates 302 respectively connected to both ends of the base plate. Mounting grooves and positioning grooves 8 are formed between the upper and lower sides of the base plate and the two side plates, respectively. The mounting grooves are used to mount the light box. The shape of the positioning groove matches the shape of the mounting position at the top of the vending machine. The width of the positioning groove is greater than the width of the light box. The base is secured to the top of the cabinet using the positioning groove, whose width matches the width of the top of the cabinet. A fixing block 9 is provided at the top of the cabinet, which engages with a fixing groove 10 located in the middle of the base plate to improve the stability between the cabinet and the base. The base plate and the top of the cabinet are assembled and connected using screws 11, making assembly and disassembly convenient. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the side wall 201 of the light box is provided with a positioning groove 12 through which the end of the damping shaft passes. The second connector is provided on the inner side of the side wall of the light box. When the back cover of the light box (not shown in the figure) is assembled, the connection between the second connector and the damping shaft can be hidden, and the appearance is more aesthetically pleasing.
[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the light box 2 of this utility model is embedded in the mounting groove 4 of the base 3. One end of the damping shaft 7 is connected to the first connecting piece 5 on the base 3, and the other end is connected to the second connecting piece 6 on the light box 2. The light box 2 can be flipped or folded at any angle along the damping shaft 7 towards the front of the cabinet 1, so that the light box 2 is laid down and attached to the upper surface of the cabinet 1, thereby reducing the overall height of the automatic vending refrigerator and reducing logistics and transportation costs. There is no need to disassemble the light box 2 before transportation, making it convenient to use and highly practical.
[0030] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and thus all changes falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this utility model.
