Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vending machine technology, and in particular to a receiving platform with detection and a vending machine. Background Technology

[0002] Vending machines are commonly used equipment in commercial automation. They are not limited by time or location, save manpower, and facilitate transactions. They represent a brand-new form of commercial retail and are also known as 24-hour mini-supermarkets. Furthermore, with market changes, vending machines have evolved into various styles.

[0003] Vending machines typically have dozens or even hundreds of product lanes, and a single vending machine usually sells multiple items. However, merchants often mistakenly place the wrong items, resulting in a discrepancy between the purchased goods and the actual product dispensed. For example, the vending machine system might be configured to place product 'a' in lane A, but due to the merchant's oversight, product 'b' is placed in lane A. Therefore, when a user purchases product 'a', the system recognizes it as being in lane A and dispenses it, even though lane A actually contains product 'b'. Thus, the user purchased product 'a', but the machine actually dispensed product 'b'. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a receiving platform and vending machine with detection to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of this utility model provides a receiving platform with detection capabilities, comprising:

[0012] The rotating plate is rotatably connected to the bracket;

[0013] The motor is mounted on the bracket, and the motor is connected to the rotating plate in a transmission manner;

[0014] The shipping compartment and the recycling compartment are located on opposite sides of the rotating plate. When the rotating plate rotates in the first direction, the goods on the rotating plate will fall into the shipping compartment. When the rotating plate rotates in the second direction, the goods on the rotating plate will fall into the recycling compartment.

[0015] Furthermore, the rotating plate is made of a transparent material.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] Goods receiving platforms with inspection capabilities include:

[0041] Support 1; The support 1 is provided with a shipping compartment 101 and a recycling compartment 102;

[0042] Conveying mechanism 2; the conveying mechanism 2 is mounted on the support 1 and is used to receive and transport goods;

[0043] Sorting mechanism 3; The sorting mechanism 3 is installed on the bracket 1 and located at the end of the conveying mechanism 2, and is used to receive the goods conveyed from the conveying mechanism 2 and convey the goods to the shipping warehouse 101 or the recycling warehouse 102;

[0044] Inspection mechanism 4; The inspection mechanism 4 is installed on the bracket 1 and is used to inspect the goods on the sorting mechanism 3;

[0045] The sorting unit 3 transports the goods to the shipping warehouse 101 or the recycling warehouse 102 based on the detection results of the detection unit 4.

[0046] In this embodiment, the receiving platform with detection is applied to a vending machine. When a user purchases goods, the goods fall onto the conveyor mechanism 2, which then transports them to the sorting mechanism 3. At this time, the detection mechanism 4 detects the goods on the sorting mechanism 3 to check whether the items on the sorting mechanism 3 match the items purchased by the user. When the detection mechanism 4 detects that the items on the sorting mechanism 3 match the items purchased by the user, the sorting mechanism 3 transports the items to the dispensing bin 101. When the detection mechanism 4 detects that the items on the sorting mechanism 3 do not match the items purchased by the user, the sorting mechanism 3 transports the items to the recycling bin 102. The purpose is to prevent merchants from... The misplacement of items; the detection-equipped receiving platform of this utility model can prevent the situation where the items purchased by the user are inconsistent with the actual goods shipped, and it has a simple structure and low cost; it should be noted that the detection mechanism 4 can be a visual detection mechanism 4, a gravity detection mechanism 4, etc. In this embodiment, a visual detection mechanism 4 is used, which includes a camera 401 and a light detection component 402. The visual detection mechanism 4 mainly identifies the images of the goods, which can be done by one or more combinations of factors such as the shape of the pattern on the goods, the color of the pattern, QR code, barcode, etc., thereby determining whether the goods on the classification mechanism 3 are the same as the goods purchased by the user.
