Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vending machine technology, and in particular to a dispensing device for a bottled goods vending machine. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, such as Figure 1 As shown, the dispensing device of an existing bottled goods vending machine typically includes a storage box 1, a rotating component 13, and a drive motor 14. The storage box 1 has a storage channel 10 and a dispensing channel 11. The storage channel 10 is inclined from top to bottom. The dispensing port of the storage channel 10 is connected to the inlet of the dispensing channel 11 to form a dropping port 12. The drive motor 14 is located in the storage box 1 and is driven by the rotating component 13. The drive motor 14 is used to control the rotation of the rotating component 13, thereby controlling the rotating component 13 to open or close the dropping port 12, thus achieving the purpose of controlling the dispensing of goods.
[0003] However, when using the above-mentioned dispensing device, since the bottled goods 4 in the storage channel 10 are stacked together along the slope of the storage channel 10, when the drive motor 14 drives the rotating part 13 to rotate and open the dispensing port 12, it may cause two bottled goods 4 to fall into the dispensing channel 11 at one time. It is impossible to accurately control the bottled goods 4 in the storage channel 10 to fall into the dispensing channel 11 at one time. As a result, the dispensing device of the existing bottled goods vending machine cannot accurately control the dispensing of bottled goods 4 one by one. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, one of the objectives of this utility model is to provide a dispensing device for a bottled goods vending machine, which can precisely control the dispensing of bottled goods in the storage channel, allowing only one bottled item to fall into the dispensing channel at a time, thus achieving the effect of precisely controlling the dispensing of bottled goods one by one.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a dispensing device for a bottled goods vending machine, including a storage box, a first rotating arm, and a drive unit. The storage box contains a storage channel and a dispensing channel. The storage channel is inclined from top to bottom, and the dispensing channel is located below the storage channel. The inlet of the dispensing channel communicates with the outlet of the storage channel to form a discharge port. The drive unit is disposed within the storage box and is driven by the first rotating arm, controlling its rotation. The first rotating arm opens or closes the discharge port. The drive unit also drives a second rotating arm. The second rotating arm is located above the first rotating arm, and the second rotating arm and the first rotating arm are perpendicular to each other in the horizontal direction. The second rotating arm and the first rotating arm rotate synchronously. When the first rotating arm closes the discharge port, the first bottled product closest to the discharge port in the storage channel is supported by the first rotating arm, and the second bottled product in the storage channel abuts against the first bottled product. When the first rotating arm opens the discharge port, the first bottled product falls into the discharge channel, and the second rotating arm prevents the second bottled product from entering the discharge port.
[0006] Furthermore, a first silicone layer is provided on the first rotating arm at the position for contacting the bottled goods.
[0007] Furthermore, a second silicone layer is provided on the second rotating arm at the position for contacting the bottled goods.
[0008] Furthermore, the storage box is provided with a receiving slot, which is connected to the cargo discharge port. The drive unit is installed in the receiving slot, and the first rotating arm rotates into the receiving slot to open the cargo discharge port.
[0009] Furthermore, the second rotating arm rotates into the receiving slot to allow the bottled goods to enter the discharge port.
[0010] Furthermore, the shipping channel is inclined from top to bottom, and the angle between the shipping channel and the horizontal ground is set as angle A, which is 5 to 8°.
[0011] Furthermore, the outer shell of the storage box has an installation port communicating with the receiving slot, and the storage box is provided with a cover plate for sealing the installation port.
[0012] Furthermore, the outlet of the shipping channel is provided with a blocking part for blocking the goods.
[0013] Furthermore, a buffer pad layer is provided on the inner wall of the blocking part.
[0014] Furthermore, both the first rotating arm and the second rotating arm are made of plastic.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] When the dispensing device of this bottled goods vending machine is in use, with the first rotating arm closing the dispensing port, the first bottled product closest to the dispensing port in the storage channel is supported by the first rotating arm, preventing it from falling into the dispensing channel. Due to the inclination of the storage channel, the second bottled product in the storage channel abuts against the first bottled product. Because the second rotating arm is perpendicular to the first rotating arm in the horizontal direction, when the first rotating arm rotates into the dispensing port, the second rotating arm rotates out from above the dispensing port without contacting the bottled product. When the drive unit drives the first rotating arm to rotate and open the dispensing port, the first bottled product falls into the dispensing channel, while the second rotating arm rotates to prevent the second bottled product in the storage channel from entering the dispensing port. This precisely controls the bottled products in the storage channel to fall into the dispensing channel at a time, achieving the effect of precisely controlling the dispensing of bottled products one by one.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 2 - Figure 7This utility model provides a dispensing device for a bottled goods vending machine, including a storage box 1, a first rotating arm 2, a second rotating arm 3, and a drive unit. The storage box 1 has a storage channel 10 and a dispensing channel 11. The storage channel 10 is inclined downwards, and the dispensing channel 11 is located below the storage channel 10. The inlet of the dispensing channel 11 connects with the outlet of the storage channel 10 to form a dropping outlet 12. The drive unit is located inside the storage box 1 and is driven by the first rotating arm 2 and the second rotating arm 3. The drive unit controls the first rotating arm 2 and the second rotating arm 3 to rotate synchronously. The second rotating arm 3 is located above the first rotating arm 2, and the distance between the second rotating arm 3 and the first rotating arm 2 is less than the sum of the outer diameters of two bottled goods 4. The second rotating arm 3 and the first rotating arm 2 are perpendicular to each other in the horizontal direction. The first rotating arm 2 controls the opening or closing of the dropping outlet 12. With the first rotating arm 2 closed at the discharge port 12, the first bottled product 4 closest to the discharge port 12 in the storage channel 10 is supported by the first rotating arm 2, and the second bottled product 4 in the storage channel 10 abuts against the first bottled product 4. With the first rotating arm 2 open at the discharge port 12, the first bottled product 4 falls into the discharge channel 11, and the second rotating arm 3 prevents the second bottled product 4 from entering the discharge port 12. Throughout the entire discharge process, the bottled product 4 closest to the discharge port 12 in the storage channel 10 is always considered the first bottled product 4, and the bottled product 4 abutting against the first bottled product 4 is considered the second bottled product 4.
[0032] As can be seen from the above, when the dispensing device of the bottled goods vending machine of this utility model is in use, when the drive unit drives the first rotating arm 2 to rotate to close the dispensing port 12, the first bottled product 4 closest to the dispensing port 12 in the storage channel 10 is supported by the first rotating arm 2, preventing the bottled product 4 from falling into the dispensing channel 11. Under the action of the inclination of the storage channel 10, the second bottled product 4 in the storage channel 10 abuts against the first bottled product 4. Since the second rotating arm 3 is perpendicular to the first rotating arm 2 in the horizontal direction, the first rotating arm 2 rotates... When the first rotating arm 2 enters the loading port 12 and comes into contact with the bottled product 4, the second rotating arm 3 rotates out from above the loading port 12 and does not come into contact with the bottled product 4. When the drive unit drives the first rotating arm 2 to rotate and open the loading port 12, the first bottled product 4 falls into the delivery channel 11, while the second rotating arm 3 rotates to block the second bottled product 4 in the storage channel 10 from entering the loading port 12. This precisely controls the bottled product 4 in the storage channel 10 to fall into the delivery channel 11 at a time, achieving the effect of precisely controlling the bottled product 4 to be delivered one by one.
[0033] Furthermore, it should be noted that the addition of a second rotating arm 3 to the first rotating arm 2 can, to some extent, prevent theft of goods. Specifically, if the second rotating arm 3 were not present, and someone were to insert a stick into the dispensing channel 11 from the receiving port, and then manipulate the first rotating arm 2 to open the dropping port 12, the bottled goods 4 in the storage channel 10 would fall into the dispensing channel 11, thus resulting in the theft of all goods in the storage channel 10. If a second rotating arm 3 is installed on top of the first rotating arm 2, since the second rotating arm 3 is used to prevent bottled goods 4 from entering the delivery port 12, when someone holds a stick and extends it into the delivery channel 11 from the retrieval port position, and operates the stick to rotate the first rotating arm 2 to open the delivery port 12, only the first bottled goods 4 will fall into the delivery channel 11. Subsequent bottled goods 4 will not enter the delivery port 12 due to the obstruction of the second rotating arm 3, that is, they will not fall into the delivery channel 11, thus playing a certain role in preventing theft.
[0034] In this embodiment, both the first rotating arm 2 and the second rotating arm 3 are made of plastic to avoid using metal. Furthermore, a first silicone layer (not shown) is provided on the first rotating arm 2 at the position where it contacts the bottled product 4. This first silicone layer prevents the first rotating arm 2 from making hard contact with the bottled product 4, thus preventing damage or scratches to the bottled product 4. Similarly, a second silicone layer (not shown) is provided on the second rotating arm 3 at the position where it contacts the bottled product 4. This second silicone layer prevents the second rotating arm 3 from making hard contact with the bottled product 4, thus preventing damage or scratches to the bottled product 4.
[0035] In this embodiment, the storage box 1 is provided with a receiving slot 16, which communicates with the aforementioned discharge port 12. The drive unit is installed in the receiving slot 16. The receiving slot 16 is primarily for facilitating the installation of the drive unit; additionally, it can also accommodate the first rotating arm 2 or the second rotating arm 3. Specifically, when the drive unit drives the first rotating arm 2 to rotate into the receiving slot, the discharge port 12 is open, and the receiving slot 16 serves to accommodate the first rotating arm 2. When the drive unit drives the first rotating arm 2 to rotate into the discharge port 12, the discharge port 12 is closed. Furthermore, when the second rotating arm 3 rotates out from above the discharge port 12 and enters the receiving slot 16, the receiving slot 16 then accommodates the second rotating arm 3.
[0036] In this embodiment, the drive unit includes a drive motor 14 and a circuit board 415. The circuit board 415 is electrically connected to the drive motor 14 and is mainly used to control the operation of the drive motor 14. The output shaft of the drive motor 14 is connected and fixed to the first rotating arm 2, and the second rotating arm 3 is connected and fixed to the first rotating arm 2 through a column 30. For example, when the circuit board 415 controls the drive motor 14 to rotate forward, the drive motor 14 drives the first rotating arm 2 to rotate into the discharge port 12, so that the discharge port 12 is in a closed state. At this time, the second rotating arm 3 rotates into the receiving slot. When the circuit board 415 controls the drive motor 14 to rotate in reverse, the drive motor 14 drives the first rotating arm 2 to rotate into the receiving slot, so that the discharge port 12 is in a closed state. At this time, the first bottled product 4 that enters the discharge port 12 falls into the discharge channel 11, and the second rotating arm 3 rotates to move above the discharge port 12, blocking the second bottled product 4 from entering the discharge port 12.
[0037] In this embodiment, the outer shell of the storage box 1 has an installation port that communicates with the receiving groove 16. The storage box 1 is provided with a cover plate 17 for sealing the installation port. The cover plate 17 is detachably connected to the storage box 1 by screws, which facilitates the later maintenance or replacement of the drive unit.
[0038] In this embodiment, the dispensing channel 11 is inclined from top to bottom, and the angle between the dispensing channel 11 and the horizontal ground is set as angle A, which is 5 to 8°. In this embodiment, angle A is 5°, which can avoid the dispensing channel 11 being too steep and buffer the speed at which the bottled goods 4 roll along the dispensing channel 11. Of course, in other embodiments, angle A can also be set to 8° or 6°, and is not limited here.
[0039] In this embodiment, a blocking part 110 is provided at the outlet of the shipping channel 11 to prevent the bottled goods 4 from falling to the ground. In addition, a cushioning layer 111 is provided on the inner wall of the blocking part 110. The cushioning layer 111 can buffer the impact force of the bottled goods 4 on the blocking part 110, and prevent damage to the bottled goods 4 due to excessive impact force, thus protecting the bottled goods 4.
[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
