Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to automatic vending machine technical field, especially a sweet potato vending machine's material outlet mechanism. BACKGROUND

[0002] The material outlet mechanism of the prior art automatic vending machine generally adopts a fixed type inclined discharge plate design, and its working principle relies on the self-weight of the material to slide from a high place to a material taking opening. Such a structure has obvious defects when conveying soft and easily damaged agricultural products such as sweet potatoes. SUMMARY

[0003] The utility model wants to solve the technical problem to provide a kind of sweet potato vending machine's material outlet mechanism, can adjust discharge plate position, so that sweet potato can be discharged more safely in automatic vending machine.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the technical scheme of the utility model is as follows: a kind of sweet potato vending machine's material outlet mechanism, it includes the discharge plate and the support of the support of discharge plate inclined setting, the both sides of discharge plate are bent upwards to form mounting plate, the support includes the support plate of being arranged at the both sides of discharge plate and the connecting plate of being arranged between two support plates, the support plate is arranged at the outside of mounting plate, and sliding assembly is arranged between support plate and mounting plate, one side of mounting plate is equipped with rack, and the support plate on the corresponding side is equipped with motor, the output shaft of motor is connected with gear, and the gear is engaged with rack. The utility model principle: sweet potato is stored in the lifting frame of automatic vending machine, when vending machine receives the instruction of vending, one of lifting frame stops at discharge port place;Material outlet mechanism starts, motor drives gear, gear drives rack to make discharge plate move to the direction of discharge port;The input end of discharge plate touches lifting frame, so that lifting frame rotates, and sweet potato in lifting frame rolls down to discharge plate under the action of gravity, and then rolls down along discharge plate to complete discharge.

[0005] As an improvement, the input and output ends of the discharge plate are higher than the output end, and the input end of the discharge plate is provided with a touch protrusion corresponding to the mounting plate.

[0006] As an improvement, the sliding assembly includes a sliding block arranged on the outside of the mounting plate and a sliding rail arranged on the inside of the support plate, the sliding block cooperates with the sliding rail, the rack is arranged in parallel with the sliding rail, and the sliding rail is arranged on the inside of the mounting plate.

[0007] As an improvement, the lower end of the support plate is bent outward to form a mounting ear, and the mounting ear is provided with a mounting hole.

[0008] As an improvement, the support plate is provided with a cover body, and the gear drives the rack to move in the cover body.

[0009] As an improvement, the support plate on one side is provided with a photoelectric sensor for sensing the position of the mounting plate.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model compared with the prior art are:

[0011] By driving the dispensing plate, the sweet potatoes in the vending machine can be triggered to fall and roll down the dispensing plate, making the sweet potatoes safer to dispense in the vending machine. Attached Figure Description

[0012] Figure 1 This is schematic diagram I of the present invention.

[0013] Figure 2 This is schematic diagram II of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a dispensing mechanism for a sweet potato vending machine includes an inclined dispensing plate 1 and a support 2 for supporting the dispensing plate 1. The two sides of the dispensing plate 1 are bent upwards to form mounting plates 11, which are perpendicular to the dispensing plate 1, forming a dispensing channel between them. The input end of the dispensing plate 1 is higher than the output end, allowing the sweet potatoes to roll off the dispensing plate 1 under gravity. A touch protrusion 12 is provided at the input end of the dispensing plate 1 corresponding to the mounting plate 11. During operation, the dispensing plate 1 moves backward, causing the touch protrusion 12 to contact the lifting frame in the vending machine. The bracket 2 includes support plates 21 on both sides of the discharge plate 1 and a connecting plate 23 between the two support plates 21; the lower end of the support plate 21 is bent outward to form a mounting ear 22, and the mounting ear 22 is provided with a mounting hole; the support plate 21 is fixed by bolts; the support plate 21 is located on the outside of the mounting plate 11, and a sliding assembly is provided between the support plate 21 and the mounting plate 11; the sliding assembly includes a slider 8 located on the outside of the mounting plate 11 and a slide rail 9 located on the inside of the support plate 21. The rack is parallel to the slide rail 9 and is located on the inner side of the mounting plate 11. The discharge plate 1 can slide obliquely up and down relative to the support plate 21. A rack 6 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 11, and a motor 3 is provided on the outer side of the support plate 21 on the corresponding side. The output shaft of the motor 3 is connected to a gear 7, which meshes with the rack 6. The motor 3 drives the gear 7, which in turn drives the rack 6, which in turn moves the discharge plate 1 along the slide rail 9. A cover 4 is provided on the support plate 21. The gear 7 drives the rack 6 to move within the cover 4, which protects the gear 7 and the rack 6 and prevents sweet potatoes from falling onto the rack 6. A photoelectric sensor 5 is provided on one side of the support plate 21 to sense the position of the mounting plate 11. When the discharge plate 1 moves obliquely downward to the photoelectric sensor 5, the motor 3 stops.

[0016] The utility model discloses principles: sweet potato is stored in the lifting frame of automatic vending machine, when vending machine receives the instruction of vending, one lifting frame stops at the discharge port place, the discharge mechanism starts, and motor 3 drives gear 7, and gear 7 drives rack 6 to make the discharge plate 1 to the direction of discharge port movement, and the input end of discharge plate 1 touches the lifting frame, and makes the lifting frame rotate, and sweet potato in the lifting frame falls to the discharge plate 1 under the action of gravity, and then falls along the discharge plate 1 and completes the discharge.
