Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a bulk candy retail equipment especially a bulk candy storage and selling device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In supermarket shopping, due to the large flow of customers in the bulk rice, grain and dry fruit area of the supermarket, in order to improve the purchasing of customers, bulk candy is also arranged in this area. However, the bulk rice, grain and dry fruit are prone to infection and breeding of storage pests, in addition, the grain and dry fruit left at the bottom of the shelf as a dead angle of health become a hiding place for storage pests, which can infect the bulk candy area, for example, the boring storage pests can bore through the plastic packaging of the candy or can eat chocolate, which causes continuous complaints from consumers and brings serious economic losses to the producers and operators.

[0003] The independent and relatively closed storage form can effectively isolate the storage pests, and the independent storage form in the prior art is to set a glass container, place the bulk candy in the glass container, and then cover the upper end of the glass container with a transparent glass cover. When the consumer needs to buy the bulk candy, the glass cover needs to be opened, and then the bulk candy is placed in the shopping bag, and then the glass cover is covered on the upper end of the glass container. The storage structure of this kind has the following problems: the consumer needs to pick up the glass cover when buying, and after the purchase is completed, the glass cover needs to be covered on the glass container again, which is not only troublesome, but also many consumers may forget to cover the glass cover, resulting in failure to isolate the storage pests. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0004] The utility model aims at providing a bulk candy storage and selling device to solve the technical problem of failure to isolate the storage pests of bulk candy due to the forgetfulness of consumers in the prior art.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the technical scheme of a bulk candy storage and selling device in the utility model is as follows:

[0006] A bulk candy storage and selling device, comprising a device frame, a candy container with a cover plate at the upper end and a discharge port at the lower end arranged on the device frame, a switch shaft with the rotation axis extending along the left-right direction, a material channel extending along the radial direction of the switch shaft arranged on the switch shaft, a discharge position with the feed port of the material channel communicated with the discharge port and a closed position with the switch shaft blocking the discharge port in the rotation process of the switch shaft, and a candy taking box located below the switch shaft, the candy taking box being in transmission connection with the switch shaft through a transmission mechanism. When the switch shaft is in the discharge position, the transmission mechanism moves the candy taking box to the lower side of the discharge port of the material channel; when the switch shaft is in the closed position, the transmission mechanism moves the candy taking box away from the lower side of the switch shaft along the axial direction of the switch shaft.

[0007] Further, the left end of the switch shaft is provided with a hand wheel for the consumer to hold.

[0008] Further, the transmission mechanism comprises a switch shaft bevel gear fixed to the right end of the switch shaft, the transmission mechanism further comprises a transmission bevel gear extending along the up-down direction, the transmission bevel gear is engaged with the switch shaft bevel gear, the transmission mechanism further comprises a transmission rack arranged in parallel with the switch shaft on the lower side of the switch shaft, the transmission rack is guided to move along the axial direction of the switch shaft and is assembled on the device frame, a transmission spur gear coaxial with the transmission bevel gear is fixed on the transmission bevel gear, the transmission rack is connected with the sugar taking box.

[0009] Further, the conventional rack is connected with the sugar taking box through a vertical connecting rod, the upper end of the vertical connecting rod is fixed to the conventional rack, and the lower end of the vertical connecting rod is fixed to the right side surface of the sugar taking box.

[0010] Further, the switch shaft is rotated from the discharging position to the closing position, and the sugar taking box moves from the right to the left to the lower left side of the hand wheel.

[0011] Further, the device frame is provided with a left side stop piece for stopping cooperation with the left end of the transmission rack to limit the left movement limit of the transmission rack and a right side stop piece for stopping cooperation with the right end of the transmission rack to limit the right movement limit of the transmission rack.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the bulk candy storage and selling device are as follows: when the consumer needs to purchase the bulk candy in the candy container, the switch shaft is rotated, the switch shaft is rotated to the discharging position, at this time, the sugar taking box moves to the lower side of the material channel, the candy in the candy container falls into the sugar taking box through the discharge port and the material channel, then, the switch shaft is rotated to the closing position, at this time, the discharge port of the candy container is closed by the switch shaft, and the sugar taking box is moved out from the lower side of the switch shaft, so that the consumer can conveniently take the candy. That is to say, in the bulk candy storage and selling device, the discharge port of the candy container is closed by the switch shaft when the consumer takes the candy, so that the consumer does not need to perform any operation after taking the candy, and the next consumer can take the candy, so that the problem of failure of pest isolation and storage of the bulk candy due to the forgetfulness of the consumer can be effectively avoided.
