Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fixing equipment for beverage vending machines, and in particular to a bottom fixing bracket for a beverage vending machine. Background Technology
[0002] With the fast pace of life, beverage vending machines have come into the public eye. After inserting coins into the vending machine, it will automatically dispense the beverage, which is convenient and fast. Beverage vending machines need to replace the products inside in a timely manner to ensure that the products are supplied promptly.
[0003] Chinese patent document CN212749963U discloses an automatic beverage vending machine. The device, through the setting of a receiving box, a water level sensor, a PLC controller and a buzzer, can remind staff to pour out the beverage in time when the amount of beverage in the receiving box reaches a certain level.
[0004] In existing beverage vending machines, multiple sets of support feet are installed at the bottom of the base for support in the case of multiple sets of support. However, the connection points of the equipment are mostly supported by steel plate welding. Although this welding method uses steel plates, the manufacturing cost is relatively low, but the support rods are also prone to tensile deformation. Therefore, this utility model proposes a bottom fixing bracket for beverage vending machines. Utility Model Content
[0005] Therefore, in order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a bottom fixing bracket for a beverage vending machine.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a bottom fixed support for a beverage vending machine, comprising a cabinet, a heat dissipation window, a product window, a shopping window, a base, a movable frame, a telescopic damper, and a balancing device. The left end of the cabinet is equipped with a heat dissipation window, the product window is located at the front end of the cabinet, and the shopping window is located at the right end of the product window. The base is placed at the bottom of the cabinet, and the top of the base is fitted with a telescopic damper. The movable frame is fixed to the top of the telescopic damper, and the balancing device is fixed to the bottom of the base. The balancing device includes a mounting cover, a lifting cylinder, a gripper, a telescopic connecting rod, and a balancing frame. The top of the mounting cover is equipped with a lifting cylinder, which is fixed to the top of the base. The gripper is rotatably connected to the interior of the base, and the gripper is fixed to the left end of the telescopic connecting rod. The telescopic connecting rod is fixed to the top of the balancing frame, and the balancing frame is installed inside the mounting cover.
[0007] Preferably, the balance frame includes a spring telescopic member, a support frame, a fixed column, and a limiting column. The spring telescopic member is fixed to the inside of the mounting cover, and the fixed column is installed inside the spring telescopic member. The support frame is respectively disposed on the outside of the fixed column, and the limiting column is slidably connected to the inside of the support frame.
[0008] In a further preferred embodiment, the lifting cylinder is provided in multiple sets, and the multiple sets of lifting cylinders are arranged horizontally on the top of the mounting cover, so that the mounting cover can be raised and lowered accordingly.
[0009] In a further preferred embodiment, the mounting cover has a hollow structure inside, which maximizes the utilization of the space inside the mounting cover.
[0010] In a further preferred embodiment, the gripper is capable of telescopic swinging along the telescopic link, and the gripper has an elliptical groove inside, which facilitates proper rotation of the gripper and avoids interference.
[0011] In a further preferred embodiment, the spring telescopic device is symmetrically arranged at the upper and lower ends of the fixed column.
[0012] In a further preferred embodiment, the fixing column is arranged around the outside of the support frame.
[0013] In a further preferred embodiment, the support frame has a cylindrical limiting guide groove inside.
[0014] In a further preferred embodiment, the grippers are made of cast iron, which has a high density and the advantage of being resistant to deformation.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] This invention incorporates a balancing device. A mounting cover is installed below the base. When the lifting cylinder is activated, it pushes the mounting cover downwards, ensuring it fits tightly against the ground. This guarantees the grippers are supported by the telescopic linkage and pressed against the ground. The balancing frame cushions the force on the telescopic linkage, preventing deformation of the linkage and grippers due to external forces. The mounting cover also provides better support to the base, reducing the risk of tipping over. This balancing device stabilizes the entire container, preventing deformation of the support structure and tipping over. It also addresses the problem of traditional equipment using welded steel plates for support at joints. While this method is cheaper, it also presents the issue of tensile deformation of the support rods.
[0017] This invention features a balancing frame at the top of the balancing device. A support frame on the outside of the user-fixed column provides support and restriction for the telescopic link with the assistance of a spring telescopic device. When the telescopic link is under stress, the fixed column can extend and retract with the help of the spring telescopic device, buffering the stress on the telescopic link and preventing deformation of the telescopic link and gripper due to external forces. Subsequently, the telescopic link smoothly lifts the gripper, which in turn provides restraint and support to the mounting cover, increasing the friction between the mounting cover and the ground. This allows the mounting cover to better support the base, achieving a stable and balanced state where the telescopic link smoothly lifts the gripper. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0024] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, a detailed description is provided below through specific embodiments.
[0025] Please see Figure 1 (3D structural diagram) Figure 2 (Side view of the structure) This utility model provides a bottom fixing bracket for a beverage vending machine, including a cabinet 1, a heat dissipation window 2, a product window 3, a shopping window 4, a base 5, a movable frame 6, a telescopic damper 7, and a balancing device 8. The heat dissipation window 2 is installed on the left end of the cabinet 1, the product window 3 is located at the front end of the cabinet 1, the shopping window 4 is located at the right end of the product window 3, the base 5 is placed at the bottom of the cabinet 1, the telescopic damper 7 is installed at the top inside the base 5, the movable frame 6 is fixed to the top of the telescopic damper 7, and the balancing device 8 is fixed to the bottom of the base 5.
[0026] Please see Figure 3 (Three-dimensional structural diagram of the balancing device in this utility model) Figure 4 (Internal structure of a novel balancing device) This utility model provides a bottom fixing bracket for a beverage vending machine. The balancing device 8 includes a mounting cover 81, a lifting cylinder 82, a gripper 83, a telescopic connecting rod 84, and a balancing frame 85. The lifting cylinder 82 is mounted on the top of the mounting cover 81 and is fixed to the top of the base 5. The gripper 83 is rotatably connected to the inside of the base 5 and is fixed to the left end of the telescopic connecting rod 84. The telescopic connecting rod 84 is fixed to the top of the balancing frame 85 and is installed inside the mounting cover 81.
[0027] In this embodiment, multiple sets of lifting cylinders 82 are provided, and the multiple sets of lifting cylinders 82 are arranged horizontally on the top of the mounting cover 81. The mounting cover 81 can be raised and lowered accordingly. The interior of the mounting cover 81 has a hollow structure, which can maximize the use of the internal space structure of the mounting cover 81. The gripper 83 can extend and swing along the telescopic connecting rod 84. The interior of the gripper 83 has an elliptical groove, which facilitates the appropriate rotation of the gripper 83 and can avoid interference.
[0028] Please see Figure 5 (Structure diagram of the balance frame) This utility model provides a bottom fixing bracket for a beverage vending machine. The balance frame 85 includes a spring telescopic member 851, a support frame 852, a fixing column 853, and a limiting column 854. The spring telescopic member 851 is fixed to the inside of the mounting cover 81. The fixing column 853 is installed inside the spring telescopic member 851. The support frame 852 is respectively arranged on the outside of the fixing column 853. The limiting column 854 is slidably connected to the inside of the support frame 852.
[0029] In the implementation case: the spring expansion joint 851 is symmetrically arranged at the upper and lower ends of the fixed column 853, the fixed column 853 is arranged around the outside of the support frame 85, and the support frame 852 is provided with a cylindrical limiting guide groove inside.
[0030] See Figures 1-5 When in use, the container 1 is placed on top of the base 5, so that the base 5 can stably support the container 1 through the straight trapezoidal structure. At the same time, the balancing device 8 is set inside the base 5.
[0031] Subsequently, the mounting cover 81 is installed below the base 5. The lifting cylinder 82 is activated to push the mounting cover 81 downwards, so that the mounting cover 81 can fit tightly against the ground, ensuring that the gripper 83 can be supported by the telescopic link 84 and press against the ground.
[0032] Meanwhile, the support frame 852 set on the outside of the fixed column 853 can support and limit the telescopic link 84 with the assistance of the spring telescopic device 851. When the telescopic link 84 is under force, the fixed column 853 can extend and retract with the cooperation of the spring telescopic device 851, which buffers the force on the telescopic link 84 and prevents the telescopic link 84 and the gripper 83 from being easily deformed by external force.
[0033] Subsequently, the telescopic link 84 smoothly lifts the gripper 83, and the gripper 83 provides restraint and support to the mounting cover 81, thereby increasing the friction between the mounting cover 81 and the ground, so that the mounting cover 81 can provide better support to the base 5, and then the balance frame 85 smoothly stabilizes the support state of the telescopic link 84 smoothly lifting the gripper 83.
[0034] The installation cover 81 provides better support to the base 5, thereby reducing the risk of the base 5 easily tipping over. This achieves stable balance of the entire equipment of the container 1 through the balancing device 8, preventing the support structure in the equipment from easily deforming and avoiding the risk of the equipment tipping over. This also solves the problem that the original equipment mostly used steel plate welding for support at the connection. Although this welding method uses steel plates, the manufacturing cost is relatively low, but there is also the problem that the support rods are also subject to tensile deformation.
[0035] Furthermore, users can purchase goods through the shopping window 4, and then the goods are placed in the display case 1. At the same time, workers can replenish the goods inside the display case 1 by opening the display window 3, thereby preventing a shortage of goods. During this process, the heat dissipation window 2 can ensure the heat dissipation needs of the equipment during operation.
[0036] The control method of this utility model is to control the device by manually starting and stopping the switch. The wiring diagram of the power element and the supply of power are common knowledge in the field. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and wiring layout will not be explained in detail.

The power supply is also common knowledge in the field. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.
