Detailed Implementation

[0030] To better understand the technical content of this utility model, specific embodiments are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Various aspects of this utility model are described in this disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate numerous illustrative embodiments. The embodiments of this disclosure are not necessarily defined to include all aspects of this utility model. It should be understood that the various concepts and embodiments described above, as well as those described in more detail below, can be implemented in any of many ways, because the concepts and embodiments disclosed in this utility model are not limited to any particular implementation. Furthermore, some aspects of this utility model can be used alone or in any suitable combination with other aspects disclosed in this utility model.

[0031] like Figure 1-7 As shown, an automatic lighter vending machine includes: a front cover 1, a drop-off compartment 2, a rear cover 3, a base 4, and a movable frame 6. The front cover 1 serves as the front protection and display surface of the automatic lighter vending machine, protecting the internal components from external environmental influences. The front cover 1 is installed on the front side of the drop-off compartment 2, and a lock 11 is provided between the front cover 1 and the drop-off compartment 2. The front cover 1 can be opened by the lock 11, and then lighters 10 can be added. The lock 11 ensures the security between the front cover 1 and the drop-off compartment 2, prevents theft, enhances the security of the vending machine, and protects the internal goods and power equipment from being stolen or damaged.

[0032] The drop compartment 2 is equipped with two lighter compartments 201 and one power supply compartment 202. The power supply compartment 202 contains a power supply that powers the electrical unit. The reasonable spatial layout separates the lighter and power supply compartments, making management and maintenance easier. The power supply compartment 202 contains a power bank, which provides power without the need for complex external wiring, reducing operating costs and facilitating relocation.

[0033] The rear cover plate 3 is installed on the rear side of the drop compartment 2. The rear cover plate 3 has mounting holes to facilitate the installation of the vending machine. The rear cover plate 3 serves as the rear protective surface of the vending machine, ensuring the safety of the vending machine, while also facilitating maintenance and repair, and enhancing the convenience of the overall structure installation.

[0034] The base 4 is installed at the bottom of the drop compartment 2, and the base 4 has a retrieval port 5. The stable base 4 design ensures the safety of the vending machine during use, and the retrieval port design makes it convenient for users to operate.

[0035] The movable frame 6 is set between the base 4 and the drop chamber 2. The movable frame 6 is used to push the lighter 10 to fall into the chamber 5. The bottom of the movable frame 6 is fixedly connected to the toothed plate 601, and the movable frame 6 is fixedly connected to two push plates 602.

[0036] A drive box 7 is mounted on the base 4, and the drive box 7 contains a drive unit for moving the moving frame 6 left and right. The top of the drive box 7 has a support surface 702 for holding the lighters 10. The support surface 702 effectively prevents the lighters from tilting or falling during movement. Together with the lighter compartment 201, multiple layers of lighters 10 can be stacked from top to bottom, with one lighter 10 per layer. The push plate 602 pushes one lighter 10 from the support surface 702 to the retrieval port 5 each time.

[0037] The drive unit includes a motor 8 and a gear 9. The integrated design makes the drive system more compact and improves the overall working efficiency. The motor 8 is installed in the drive box 7, and the output end of the motor 8 is fixedly connected to the gear 9. The top of the drive box 7 has an opening 702, through which the gear 9 meshes with the gear plate 601.

[0038] When in use, the lighter 10 is stored in the lighter compartment 201 within the drop-off compartment 2, while the power supply compartment 202 contains a power bank to provide power to the vending machine's electrical unit. This rational spatial layout separates the lighter and power supply compartments, facilitating management and maintenance.

[0039] Users operate the vending machine by scanning a QR code (the relevant program algorithm can be any existing technology, which will not be elaborated here). They select the desired lighter 10. After selection, the motor 8 inside the drive box 7 starts. The motor 8 drives the moving frame 6 left and right via the gear 9 and toothed plate 601. When the motor 8 drives the moving frame 6 to move, the push plate 602 pushes a lighter 10 from the support surface 702 to the dispensing slot 5. When the push plate 602 pushes the lighter 10 to the dispensing slot 5, the lighter 10 will fall into the area where the user can easily take it. At this point, the user can easily take the lighter 10 from the dispensing slot 5.

[0040] The front cover 1, secured by a lock 11, ensures the vending machine's security and prevents theft. The rear cover 3 facilitates maintenance and installation, ensuring the vending machine's normal operation. This automatic lighter vending machine utilizes a motor-driven moving frame and pusher system to automatically dispense lighters, allowing users to easily obtain their desired items with simple operation. Simultaneously, the well-designed system ensures both security and ease of maintenance.

[0041] All standard parts used in this application can be purchased from the market, and can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art. The control method is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art and is common knowledge in the field. Since this application is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail in this application.

[0042] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains can make various modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of this invention shall be determined by the claims.
