Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, an automatic vending machine door lock of this utility model includes a cabinet body 1 with an opening on one side, a cabinet door 2 installed on the opening side of the cabinet body 1, one end of the cabinet door 2 is hinged to the cabinet body 1, the cabinet door 2 can block the opening side of the cabinet body 1, and an actuating element 3 is provided on the side of the cabinet door 2 facing the cabinet body 1. The actuating element 3 is block-shaped and L-shaped.

[0027] A movable rod 4 is installed inside the cabinet 1. A connecting shaft 5 is fixedly installed on the movable rod 4 facing upward. One end of the connecting shaft 5 is rotatably installed inside the cabinet 1. A weight rod 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the movable rod 4. The weight rod 6 and the movable rod 4 are integrated. The center of gravity of the integrated structure formed by the weight rod 6 and the movable rod 4 is located at the weight rod 6. The movable rod 4 is configured to cooperate with the trigger 3. The trigger 3 can drive the movable rod 4 to rotate around the connecting shaft 5. A support block 7 is fixedly installed inside the cabinet 1. A limit block 8 is provided at the upper end of the support block 7. The limit block 8 is configured to cooperate with the weight rod 6. The limit block 8 is used to limit the weight rod 6. A movable mechanism is provided on the support block 7. The movable mechanism is connected to the limit block 8. The movable mechanism is used to support the limit block 8 and can drive the limit block 8 to move up and down.

[0028] The movable mechanism includes two spaced guide rods 101, each passing through a support block 7. The upper ends of the guide rods 101 are fixedly connected to a limiting block 8. A limiting plate 102 is located at the lower end of the support block 7, and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the two guide rods 101. An elastic element 103 is located between the limiting block 8 and the support block 7, with both ends fixedly connected to the limiting block 8 and the support block 7, respectively. The movable mechanism also includes a magnet 104, which is fixedly mounted on the limiting plate 102. An electromagnet 105 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the support block 7. When energized, the electromagnet 105 can exert a repulsive force on the magnet 104. A door lock control device 201 is installed outside the cabinet 1, electrically connected to an external back-end management system. The electromagnet 105 is electrically connected to the door lock control device 201.

[0029] During the closing operation, pushing cabinet door 2 causes it and its actuating element 3 to move towards movable rod 4. Actuating element 3 pushes movable rod 4, causing it to rotate around connecting shaft 5. Simultaneously, the weight rod 6 at the lower end of movable rod 4 moves away from limiting block 8. Actuating element 3 continues to move. When actuating element 3 separates from movable rod 4, the entire structure of movable rod 4 and weight rod 6 returns to its original position under gravity. Both actuating element 3 and limiting block 8 are now located on one side of the entire structure of movable rod 4 and weight rod 6. (Refer to...) Figure 5 As shown, at this time, due to the limiting effect of the overall structure of the movable rod 4 and the weight rod 6, the cabinet door 2 cannot be opened.

[0030] When unlocking, the external back-end management system sends an unlocking command to the door lock control device 201. The door lock control device 201 controls the electromagnet 105 to be energized, and the electromagnet 105 changes from non-magnetic to magnetic. The electromagnet 105 applies a repulsive force to the magnet 104, and the limit block 8 moves downward a certain distance. At this time, the limit block 8 will not be limited by the side of the weight bar 6, and the cabinet door 2 can be opened.

[0031] A handle is fixedly installed on the outer side of the cabinet door 2, making it easy to pull. A reinforcing rib 9 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the actuating element 3, with each end of the reinforcing rib 9 fixedly connected to the actuating element 3. The reinforcing rib 9 enhances the pressure-bearing strength of the actuating element 3, thus improving its service life.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] The vending machine's backend management system generates corresponding QR codes based on user permissions. When a user scans the code, the link carries the user's unique identifier and permission information, which is sent to the backend for verification. After generating the QR code, the backend management system saves it as an image on the server and displays it on the vending machine's screen.

[0034] Users scan the QR code on the vending machine using their mobile phones or other devices. The QR code scanning module of the back-end management system reads the information from the QR code and sends it to the processor on the vending machine for initial processing. The processor compares the information in the QR code with preset user information to verify the user's identity.

[0035] The vending machine is also equipped with a wireless communication module. After the user is authenticated, the wireless communication module sends the user information and unlocking request to the back-end management system. Upon receiving the unlocking request, the back-end management system further verifies the legitimacy of the user information. If the back-end management system verifies the user information is legitimate, it sends an unlocking command to the door lock control device 201; if the verification fails, the unlocking operation will not be performed.

[0036] During the unlocking operation, the electromagnet 105 is energized by the door lock control device 201, and the electromagnet 105 changes from non-magnetic to magnetic. The electromagnet 105 applies a repulsive force to the magnet 104, and the limit block 8 moves downward a certain distance. At this time, the limit block 8 will not be limited by the side of the weight bar 6, and the cabinet door 2 can be opened.

[0037] Users no longer need to manually operate the lock; the vending machine door opens automatically simply by scanning a QR code, greatly simplifying the shopping process and enhancing convenience. The automatic lock responds quickly to user input, reducing waiting time and allowing users to complete their shopping faster, thus improving efficiency.

Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.

[0039] Furthermore, the use of "and / or" or "and / or" throughout the text implies three parallel solutions. For example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution that simultaneously satisfies both A and B. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them.
