Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vending equipment technology, and more particularly to a mechanism and vending equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Vending machines such as mask machines, tissue dispensers, wet wipe dispensers, and lottery machines can be placed in public places such as shopping malls, subways, squares, and tourist attractions to sell or directly dispense sheet-like items (such as individually packaged products like tissues, wet wipes, lottery tickets, and masks).

[0003] The vending machine includes a main body and a mechanism built into the main body. The mechanism can deliver the sheet-like items to the vending slot of the vending machine. However, if the sheet-like items remain in the vending slot for a long time, they are easily contaminated, affecting the next sale and causing waste of resources. Utility Model Content

[0004] The first objective of this application is to provide a mechanism that aims to solve the technical problem that current vending machines leave sheet-like items at the vending slot for an extended period after dispensing them, which easily leads to resource waste.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the solution provided in this application is as follows:

[0006] A mechanism is installed inside the body of a vending machine, the body having a dispensing slot, the mechanism comprising:

[0007] The aircraft bay includes a storage area for storing multiple stacked sheet-like items.

[0008] A first drive structure is installed on the machine bay, and the first drive structure is used to convey the sheet material to move along a first direction;

[0009] A second drive structure is installed on the machine compartment and located between the first drive structure and the vending machine. The second drive structure is used to receive the sheet material conveyed by the first drive structure and to move the sheet material along the first direction to the vending machine.

[0010] The second drive structure is also used to retract the sheet located at the vending machine along a second direction, which is opposite to the first direction.

[0011] The second objective of this application is to provide a vending device comprising one or more vending machines stacked vertically, each of the vending machines comprising a body and the aforementioned mechanism, the mechanism being disposed within the body.

[0012] The movement provided in this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The mechanism is used in vending machines. The mechanism is equipped with a machine compartment, a first drive structure and a second drive structure. The first drive structure can convey the sheet-like object forward in a first direction, and then the second drive structure can convey the sheet-like object forward in the first direction to the vending slot. This can complete one dispensing operation and avoid the phenomenon of the sheet-like object getting stuck at the vending slot due to the continuous forward movement of the sheet-like object caused by using only one drive structure to convey it during the dispensing process. Thus, the first drive structure and the second drive structure can complete the dispensing smoothly.

[0014] Furthermore, the second drive structure can also retract the sheet along the second direction, for example, the sheet can be completely retracted from the vending slot into the vending machine body, preventing the sheet from being in the vending slot for a long time, thus avoiding the phenomenon of the sheet being exposed to the outside of the machine body for a long time and being contaminated or damaged, thereby avoiding affecting the next sale and causing waste of resources. Moreover, if the sheet is always in the vending slot, staff will need to maintain it, such as removing the contaminated sheet. Therefore, the mechanism of this application can also automatically retract the sheet, which can reduce the difficulty and cost of maintenance. Attached Figure Description

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, this application embodiment provides a mechanism 100 and a vending device. The vending device includes one or more vending machines 1, which can be used to sell various individually packaged sheet-like items 2.

[0047] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 12 This application provides a detailed description of some embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0048] First set of embodiments:

[0049] The movement 100 and vending device provided in this embodiment can be found in [reference]. Figures 1 to 8 .

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the vending equipment provided in this application embodiment includes one or more vending machines 1, and multiple vending machines 1 are stacked one on top of the other. Each vending machine 1 includes a core 100 and a body 200. The core 100 is disposed inside the body 200, and the body 200 is provided with a vending slot 300.

[0051] Furthermore, the mechanism includes a housing 10, a first drive structure 20, and a second drive structure 30. The housing 10 has a storage area 40 for placing multiple stacked sheet-like objects 2. Both the first drive structure 20 and the second drive structure 30 are mounted on the housing 10. The second drive structure 30 is located between the first drive structure 20 and the vending machine 300. The first drive structure 20 is used to move the sheet-like objects 2 along a first direction. The second drive structure 30 is used to receive the sheet-like objects 2 moved by the first drive structure 20 and move the sheet-like objects 2 along the first direction to the vending machine 300. The second drive structure 30 is also used to move the sheet-like objects 2 located at the vending machine 300 back along a second direction, which is opposite to the first direction.

[0052] The vending machine in this embodiment includes multiple vending machines 1 stacked vertically, which saves floor space. Specifically, in vending machine 1, the first drive structure 20 can convey the sheet 2 forward along a first direction, for example, to a position where the second drive structure 30 can receive the sheet 2. Then, the second drive structure 30 conveys the sheet 2 forward along the first direction to the vending slot 300. This completes one dispensing operation and avoids the phenomenon of the sheet 2 getting stuck at the vending slot 300 due to the continuous forward movement of the sheet 2 caused by using only one drive structure to convey it. Thus, the first drive structure 20 and the second drive structure 30 can smoothly complete the dispensing. When the sheet 2 is located at the vending slot 300, it can pass through the vending slot 300, so that part of the sheet 2 is inside the machine body 200 and the other part is exposed outside the machine body 200, making it convenient for the user to take the sheet 2.

[0053] In the vending machine 1 of this embodiment, the second drive structure 30 can also retract the sheet 2 along the second direction, for example, the sheet 2 can be completely retracted from the vending slot 300 into the machine body 200, so as to avoid the sheet 2 being in the vending slot 300 for a long time, thereby avoiding the phenomenon that the sheet 2 is exposed outside the machine body 200 for a long time and is contaminated or damaged, thus avoiding affecting the next sale and causing resource waste. Moreover, if the sheet 2 is always in the vending slot 300, staff will need to maintain it, such as removing the contaminated sheet 2. Therefore, the mechanism 100 of this embodiment can also automatically retract the sheet 2, which can reduce the maintenance difficulty and maintenance cost.

[0054] The first direction and the second direction can form a 180-degree angle, for example, the first direction and the second direction are opposite in direction. The first direction and the second direction can also form a 90-degree angle, for example, on a two-dimensional plane, the first direction can be rotated 90 degrees to the left or right to coincide with the second direction.

[0055] It should be noted that the sheet-like item 2 can be individually packaged sheet-like hygiene products such as tissues, wet wipes, masks, disposable gloves, sanitary napkins / panty liners, disposable eye masks, disposable insoles or shoe covers, dental floss, eyeglass cleaning cloths, and condoms. The sheet-like item 2 can also be individually packaged sheet-like food products such as small packets of coffee, tea bags, or small packets of seasonings or sauces. The sheet-like item 2 can also be individually packaged sheet-like pet products such as disposable pet mats, disposable placemats, and pet wipes. The sheet-like item 2 can also be individually packaged sheet-like beauty products such as temporary tattoos, nail stickers, single cotton pads, cosmetic samples, skincare samples, and bath samples. The sheet-like item 2 can also be individually packaged single-pack products such as lottery tickets, red envelopes, coupons, movie tickets, disposable raincoats, and garbage bags. This embodiment does not specifically limit the scope of these products.

[0056] Combination Figure 1 As one implementation method, a positioning protrusion (not shown) is provided on one side of the vending machine 1, and a positioning groove 101 corresponding to the position of the positioning protrusion is provided on the other side of the vending machine 1. When two adjacent vending machines 1 are spliced ​​together, the positioning protrusion of one vending machine 1 is engaged in the positioning groove 101 of the other vending machine 1, so as to realize the detachable connection of the two adjacent vending machines 1.

[0057] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the first driving structure 20 is also used to stop conveying the sheet 2 when it moves along the first direction to a set position. The second driving structure 30 is used to receive the sheet 2 conveyed to the set position by the first driving structure 20. This can prevent the first driving structure 20 from continuously conveying the sheet 2, thereby avoiding the phenomenon that the sheet 2 will be stuck at the vending slot 300 due to the sheet 2 being continuously moved forward by only using one driving structure. It can also prevent the phenomenon that multiple sheets 2 are piled up or stuck between the first driving structure 20 and the second driving structure 30 because the first driving structure 20 continuously sends out the sheet 2 but the second driving structure 30 does not receive it in time.

[0058] Furthermore, the first drive structure 20 is used to transport a single sheet 2 along a first direction to a set position, and to stop transporting the sheet 2 when the single sheet 2 reaches the set position. Specifically, a paging mechanism 90 can be provided between the first drive structure 20 and the second drive structure 30, so that the first drive structure 20 transports only one sheet 2 at a time.

[0059] In practical application, the first drive structure 20 first delivers a single sheet 2 to a set position, and then the second drive structure 30 receives the single sheet 2 and delivers it to the vending machine 300, completing one shipment. During this process, the first drive structure 20 stops delivering the sheet 2 when it reaches the set position, thus preventing the first drive structure 20 from continuously delivering the sheet 2. This avoids the situation where multiple sheets 2 accumulate between the first drive structure 20 and the second drive structure 30 due to the first drive structure 20 continuously delivering the sheet 2 but the second drive structure 30 not receiving it in time. This prevents the sheet 2 from getting stuck between the first drive structure 20 and the second drive structure 30, allowing the first drive structure 20 and the second drive structure 30 to complete the shipment smoothly, improving shipment stability and saving shipment time. The set position can be set according to actual needs, such as the position where the second drive structure 30 receives the sheet 2, for example, at the junction of the first drive structure 20 and the second drive structure 30.

[0060] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the first drive structure 20 includes a first drive member 21, a first transmission assembly 22, and a transmission wheel set 23. The first drive member 21 may be a motor. The first drive member 21 is connected to the transmission wheel set 23 through the first transmission assembly 22. The transmission wheel set 23 rotates under the drive of the first transmission assembly 22 to convey the sheet 2 to move along the first direction to a set position. The first drive member 21 is used to stop driving the first transmission assembly 22 when the sheet 2 reaches the set position.

[0061] In this embodiment, when the first drive structure 20 conveys the sheet 2 to the set position, the first drive member 21 stops driving the first transmission assembly 22, thereby stopping the drive of the transmission wheel set 23. Consequently, the first drive structure 20 will not continue to convey the sheet 2 from the storage area 40, avoiding the phenomenon where the sheet 2 gets stuck between the first drive structure 20 and the second drive structure 30 due to the continuous delivery of the sheet 2 by the first drive structure 20. In a specific embodiment, the transmission wheel set 23 is located below the storage area 40 and is used to convey a single sheet 2 towards the vending machine 300. Specifically, the transmission wheel set 23 conveys the bottommost sheet 2 among multiple stacked sheet 2s.

[0062] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment, the first transmission assembly 22 includes a first output gear 221 and a first reduction gear 222. The first driving member 21 drives the first output gear 221 to rotate. The first output gear 221 and the first reduction gear 222 mesh to drive the first reduction gear 222 to rotate. The first reduction gear 222 drives the transmission wheel assembly 23 to rotate, thereby the transmission wheel assembly 23 conveys the sheet 2.

[0063] Furthermore, in combination Figure 3 and Figure 5 The transfer wheel assembly 23 includes a rotating shaft 231 and transfer rollers 232. The rotating shaft 231 is located at the rotation center of the transfer rollers 232. A first transmission assembly 22 is connected to the rotating shaft 231 to drive the rotating shaft 231 to rotate. The transfer rollers 232 are mounted on the rotating shaft 231 to follow the rotation of the rotating shaft 231, thereby conveying the sheet-like object 2. In a specific embodiment, the transfer wheel assembly 23 is located below the storage area 40 and partially penetrates the bottom surface of the storage area 40. The transfer wheel assembly 23 is used to convey a single sheet-like object 2 towards the vending machine 300.

[0064] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the second drive structure 30 includes a second drive member 31, a first conveyor wheel assembly 32, a second conveyor wheel assembly 33, and a second transmission assembly 34. The first conveyor wheel assembly 32 and the second conveyor wheel assembly 33 are arranged vertically at intervals, and a clamping space 35 is formed between the first conveyor wheel assembly 32 and the second conveyor wheel assembly 33. The set position is located in the clamping space 35. The second drive member 31 is connected to the first conveyor wheel assembly 32 and the second conveyor wheel assembly 33 respectively through the second transmission assembly 34, so as to transmit the driving force of the second drive member 31 to the first conveyor wheel assembly 32 and the second conveyor wheel assembly 33 respectively. Thus, under the drive of the second transmission assembly 34, the first conveyor wheel assembly 32 and the second conveyor wheel assembly 33 rotate respectively. The first conveyor wheel assembly 32 is used to rub the upper surface of the sheet 2 when rotating, and the second conveyor wheel assembly 33 is used to rub the bottom surface of the sheet 2 when rotating, so that the sheet 2 moves forward in the first direction to the vending port 300 or moves back in the second direction to the clamping space 35.

[0065] In practical applications, the second transmission component 34 can drive the first conveyor wheel assembly 32 to rotate in the first clockwise direction (e.g., counterclockwise) and the second conveyor wheel assembly 33 to rotate in the second clockwise direction (e.g., clockwise) under the action of the second drive component 31, so as to deliver the sheet 2 clamped between the first conveyor wheel assembly 32 and the second conveyor wheel assembly 33 in the first direction. Moreover, when the first conveyor wheel assembly 32 and the second conveyor wheel assembly 33 cooperate to deliver the sheet 2 to the sales outlet 300, the sheet 2 is still clamped. The second transmission assembly 34, under the action of the second driving member 31, can also drive the first conveyor wheel assembly 32 to rotate in a second clockwise direction and drive the second conveyor wheel assembly 33 to rotate in a first clockwise direction, so as to convey the sheet 2 located at the sales outlet 300 back into the clamping space 35 in the second direction, so that the sheet 2 is temporarily stored in the clamping space 35, so that the sheet 2 located in the clamping space 35 can be conveyed to the sales outlet 300 first when selling next, avoiding waste. It should be understood that the sheet 2 located in the clamping space 35 is clamped by the first conveyor wheel assembly 32 and the second conveyor wheel assembly 33.

[0066] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the first conveying roller assembly 32 includes a first rotating shaft 321 and a first roller 322, and the second conveying roller assembly 33 includes a second rotating shaft 331 and a second roller 332. In a first direction, that is, in the direction of feeding out the sheet 2, the first rotating shaft 321 and the second rotating shaft 331 are staggered, so that the first roller 322 and the second roller 332 are vertically staggered, and a clamping space 35 is formed between the first roller 322 and the second roller 332; the second driving member 31 is respectively driven by the second transmission assembly 34 to the first... A first rotating shaft 321 and a second rotating shaft 331 are provided to drive the first rotating shaft 321 and the second rotating shaft 331 to rotate respectively; a first roller 322 is mounted on the first rotating shaft 321 and rotates with the first rotating shaft 321 to rub the upper surface of the sheet 2; a second roller 332 is mounted on the second rotating shaft 331 and rotates with the second rotating shaft 331 to rub the bottom surface of the sheet 2. Thus, under the action of the first roller 322 and the second roller 332, the sheet 2 can move forward in the first direction to the sales outlet 300 or retract in the second direction to the clamping space 35.

[0067] like Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment, the second transmission assembly 34 includes a transmission shaft 341, a first transmission wheel set 342, and a second transmission wheel set 343. The second driving member 31 drives the first transmission wheel set 342 to rotate. The second transmission wheel set 343 is connected to the first transmission wheel set 342 via the transmission shaft 341 to rotate under the drive of the transmission shaft 341. The second transmission wheel set 343 is connected to the first conveyor wheel set 32 ​​and the second conveyor wheel set 33 respectively.

[0068] In this embodiment, the power of the second driving member 31 is transmitted sequentially to the second transmission wheel group 343 via the first transmission wheel group 342 and the transmission shaft 341, and then transmitted by the second transmission wheel group 343 to the first conveyor wheel group 32 and the second conveyor wheel group 33 respectively, so as to drive the first conveyor wheel group 32 and the second conveyor wheel group 33 to rotate respectively.

[0069] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the first driving member 21 and the second driving member 31 are respectively disposed on both sides of the housing 10 and are offset along the first direction; in the axial direction of the transmission shaft 341, the first transmission wheel set 342 and the second transmission wheel set 343 are spaced apart. The first transmission wheel set 342 includes a second output gear 3421 and a second reduction gear 3422. The second driving member 31 drives the second output gear 3421 to rotate. The second reduction gear 3422 is mounted on the transmission shaft 341 and meshes with the second output gear 3421. Under the action of the second output gear 3421, the second reduction gear 3422 drives the transmission shaft 341 to rotate. The second reduction gear 3422 can increase the torque to increase the power transmitted to the transmission shaft 341 and the second transmission wheel set 343, thereby increasing the force driving the first conveyor wheel set 32 ​​and the second conveyor wheel set 33 to rotate, thus realizing the rotation of the first conveyor wheel set 32 ​​and the second conveyor wheel set 33 respectively.

[0070] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment, the second transmission wheel assembly 343 includes a first transmission wheel 3431, a second transmission wheel 3432, a third transmission wheel 3433, and a first annular transmission member 3434. The first transmission wheel 3431 is mounted on the transmission shaft 341 to rotate with the transmission shaft 341. The first transmission wheel 3431 includes a first part 34311 and a second part 34312, which are connected sequentially in the axial direction of the transmission shaft 341. The outer peripheral surface of the first part 34311 and the outer peripheral surface of the second transmission wheel 3432 are both provided with external teeth 36, so that the second transmission wheel 3432 meshes with the first part 34311, thereby rotating under the drive of the first part 34311. The second transmission wheel 3432 is connected to the second conveyor wheel assembly 33. The second transmission wheel 3432 is used to drive the second conveyor wheel assembly 33 to rotate under the action of the first part 34311. Specifically, the second transmission wheel... 3432 is driven to the second rotating shaft 331, and the second driving wheel 3432 drives the second rotating shaft 331 to rotate under the transmission action of the first part 34311, thereby driving the second roller 332 to rotate; the third driving wheel 3433 is driven to the first conveying sub-wheel group 32, and the first annular transmission member 3434 is wound around the third driving wheel 3433 and the second part 34312, so that under the action of the first annular transmission member 3434, the third driving wheel 3433 drives the first conveying sub-wheel group 32 to rotate. That is, the second part 2312 drives the third driving wheel 233 to rotate through the first annular transmission member 234, thereby driving the first conveying sub-wheel group 31 to rotate. Specifically, the third driving wheel 3433 is driven to the first rotating shaft 321, so that under the transmission action of the second part 34312, the first annular transmission member 3434 drives the third driving wheel 3433 to rotate, thereby driving the first rotating shaft 321 to rotate, and then driving the first roller 322 to rotate.

[0071] Furthermore, the second drive component 31, the first transmission wheel set 342, and the second transmission wheel set 343 are arranged on the same side.

[0072] For example, the first transmission wheel 3431 is a compound gear, the second transmission wheel 3432 is a gear, the third transmission wheel 3433 is a synchronous pulley, and the first annular transmission member 3434 is a synchronous belt. A rotatable tensioning wheel 3435 is also installed on the machine compartment 10. The outer circumferential surface of the tensioning wheel 3435 abuts against the first annular transmission member 3434 to tension the first annular transmission member 3434.

[0073] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 5In another embodiment, the second transmission wheel assembly 343 includes a first transmission gear (not shown), a second transmission gear (not shown), a fourth transmission wheel (not shown), a fifth transmission wheel (not shown), and a second annular transmission member (not shown). The fourth and fifth transmission wheels can both be synchronous pulleys, and the second annular transmission member can be a synchronous belt. The first transmission gear is mounted at one end of the transmission shaft 341 to rotate with the transmission shaft 341. The second transmission gear is driven to the second conveyor wheel assembly 33, meshing with the first transmission gear to drive the second conveyor wheel assembly 33 to rotate under the action of the first transmission gear. Specifically, the second transmission gear is driven to the second rotating shaft 331. At one end away from the first transmission wheel assembly 342, the second transmission gear drives the second rotating shaft 331 to rotate under the action of the first transmission gear; the fourth transmission wheel is installed at the other end of the transmission shaft 341 to rotate with the transmission shaft 341, and the fourth transmission wheel is arranged on the same side as the second driving member 31; furthermore, the fifth transmission wheel is driven to the first conveying sub-wheel assembly 32, and the second annular transmission member is wound around the fourth transmission wheel and the fifth transmission wheel, so that the fifth transmission wheel drives the first conveying sub-wheel assembly 32 to rotate under the action of the second annular transmission member. Specifically, the fifth transmission wheel is driven to the first rotating shaft 321, so that the fifth transmission wheel drives the first rotating shaft 321 to rotate under the action of the second annular transmission member.

[0074] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, and in combination Figure 10 In one embodiment, the mechanism 100 further includes a first detection element 51 and a control board 52. The control board 52 is electrically connected to the first main board. The first detection element 51 can be a sensor, such as a reflective sensor, or it can be a camera. The control board 52 is disposed on the housing 10. The first drive structure 20 and the second drive structure 30 are both electrically connected to the control board 52. Specifically, the first drive element 21 and the second drive element 31 are both electrically connected to the control board 52. The first detection element 51 is disposed on the control board 52 and electrically connected to it. Specifically, in some embodiments, the first detection element 51 is mounted on the bottom surface of the control board 52, located above the clamping space 35. In other embodiments, the first detection element 51 may not be disposed on the control board 52. For example, the first detection element 51 is disposed on the housing 10 and located below the clamping space 35. The first detection element 51 is electrically connected to the control board 52.

[0075] Furthermore, when the first detection element 51 detects that the sheet 2 has moved to a set position along the first direction, the first drive structure 20 stops conveying the sheet 2, and the second drive structure 30 begins to convey the sheet 2 forward along the first direction to prevent the sheet 2 from being continuously sent out of the storage area 40; when the first detection element 51 continuously detects that the sheet 2 is located at the vending slot 300, the second drive structure 30 conveys the sheet 2 back along the second direction into the vending machine 1. For example, when the first detection element 51 senses or captures the sheet 2 for a period of time (e.g., 1 to 2 minutes, the specific time can be set as needed), or a camera can be set to capture the situation in front of the vending machine 1, so that when the camera captures the sheet 2 located at the vending slot 300 but there is no one in front of the vending machine 1 for a period of time, the second drive structure 30 begins to convey the sheet 2 back along the second direction into the vending machine 1.

[0076] In practical applications, when the first detection element 51 detects that the sheet 2 has moved to a set position along the first direction, for example, when the detection element senses or captures that the sheet 2 has reached the clamping space 35 along the first direction, the first drive element 21 stops rotating, and the second drive element 31 rotates clockwise. This causes the first conveyor wheel assembly 32 and the second conveyor wheel assembly 33 to rotate in the first clockwise (e.g., counterclockwise) and second clockwise (e.g., clockwise) directions, respectively, to deliver the sheet 2 along the first direction. When the first detection element 51 continuously detects that the sheet 2 is located at the sales outlet 300, for example, when the first detection element 51 senses or captures that the sheet 2 is located in the clamping space 35 for a period of time (e.g., 1-2 minutes, the specific time can be set as needed), the control board 52 controls the second drive element 31 to reverse, causing the first conveyor wheel assembly 32 and the second conveyor wheel assembly 33 to rotate in the second clockwise and first clockwise directions, respectively, to retract the sheet 2 into the clamping space 35 along the second direction.

[0077] Combination Figure 10 In one implementation, the mechanism 100 also includes a balance detection element 53. The balance detection element 53 can be a sensor, such as a reflective sensor. The balance detection element 53 is electrically connected to the control board 52. The balance detection element 53 is used to detect the current balance of sheet-like items 2 in the storage area 40. When the current balance is equal to the set balance, the first drive structure 20 stops discharging sheet-like items 2, thus preventing the first drive structure 20 from running even when the storage area 40 is empty or lacks sufficient stock. In specific applications, the set balance can be the remaining amount of sheet-like items 2 set according to actual needs. For example, the set balance can be 20% of the total amount of sheet-like items 2 that the storage area 40 can hold.

[0078] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the movement 100 also includes two supports 60, which are movably disposed on both sides of the housing 10. One end of the first conveyor wheel assembly 32 is connected to one of the supports 60, and the other end of the first conveyor wheel assembly 32 is connected to the other support 60. The first conveyor wheel assembly 32 can move away from or towards the second conveyor wheel assembly 33 to change the distance between the first conveyor wheel assembly 32 and the second conveyor wheel assembly 33, and drive the two supports 60 to swing around the same set swing center.

[0079] In this embodiment, in the thickness direction of the sheet 2, the first conveying wheel group 32 can move relative to the second conveying wheel group 33 under the pushing action of the sheet 2, so that the first conveying wheel group 32 can also move during rotation, thereby adjusting the distance between the first conveying wheel group 32 and the second conveying wheel group 33 in the thickness direction of the sheet 2. Furthermore, while the first conveying wheel group 32 and the second conveying wheel group 33 rotate independently, the first conveying wheel group 32 and the second conveying wheel group 33 can also adaptively clamp and convey sheet 2 of different thicknesses. In practical applications, there is an initial distance between the first conveyor wheel group 32 and the second conveyor wheel group 33 in the thickness direction of the sheet 2. When the thickness of the sheet 2 is greater than the initial distance, the sheet 2 will push the first conveyor wheel group 32 away from the second conveyor wheel group 33 as it passes between the first conveyor wheel group 32 and the second conveyor wheel group 33, thus increasing the distance between the first conveyor wheel group 32 and the second conveyor wheel group 33. When the sheet 2 moves to the vending slot 300 and is taken away, the first conveyor wheel group 32 can fall back to its original position in the direction closer to the second conveyor wheel group 33 under the action of gravity.

[0080] Furthermore, one end of the first rotating shaft 321 is connected to one of the supports 60, and the other end of the first rotating shaft 321 is connected to another support 60. The first roller 322 can move away from the second roller 332 under the pushing action of the sheet 2, and the first roller 322 can also move closer to the second roller 332 under the action of gravity, so as to change the distance between the first roller 322 and the second roller 332 in the thickness direction of the sheet 2, thereby adapting to sheets 2 of different thicknesses. Specifically, in conjunction with Figure 3 and Figure 5 In an embodiment where the first transmission wheel set 342 and the second transmission wheel set 343 are arranged on the same side, the support 60, which is arranged on the same side as the second driving member 31, is located between the first transmission wheel set 342 and the second transmission wheel set 343, which can improve the structural compactness.

[0081] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment, one end of the drive shaft 341 is connected to one of the supports 60 via a bearing (not shown), and the other end of the drive shaft 341 is connected to another support 60 via a bearing. When the first conveyor wheel assembly 32 moves along the thickness direction of the sheet 2, it drives the two supports 60 to swing around the drive shaft 341 as the set swing center.

[0082] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, each support 60 includes a first rocker arm 61 and a second rocker arm 62. The first rocker arm 61 and the second rocker arm 62 are connected at an angle. The connection between the first rocker arm 61 and the second rocker arm 62 forms a positioning part 63. In the same support 60, the end of the first rocker arm 61 away from the positioning part 63 is provided with a first mounting position 64, and the end of the second rocker arm 62 away from the positioning part 63 is provided with a second mounting position 65.

[0083] Furthermore, one end of the first rotating shaft 321 is rotatably mounted on the first mounting position 64 of one of the supports 60, and the other end of the first rotating shaft 321 is rotatably mounted on the first mounting position 64 of the other support 60; one end of the drive shaft 341 is rotatably mounted on the second mounting position 65 of one of the supports 60, and the other end of the drive shaft 341 is rotatably mounted on the second mounting position 65 of the other support 60; a positioning shaft 54 ​​is also provided between the two supports 60, one end of the positioning shaft 54 ​​is mounted on the positioning part 63 of one of the supports 60, and the other end of the positioning shaft 54 ​​is mounted on the positioning part 63 of the other support 60. Each support 60 is respectively connected to the first rotating shaft 321, the positioning shaft 54, and the drive shaft 341, which can enhance the rigidity of the two supports 60, making the two supports 60 form a whole, so that the two supports 60 swing synchronously, preventing the sheet 2 from wrinkling, and also keeping the distance between the two supports 60 fixed. For example, the first mounting position 64, the positioning part 63, and the second mounting position 65 are all mounting holes.

[0084] Furthermore, the first mounting position 64, the positioning part 63, and the second mounting position 65 are arranged at the three endpoints of a triangle, so that the first rotating shaft 321, the positioning shaft 54, and the transmission shaft 341 installed between the two supports 60 are not arranged along the same straight line. Compared with a straight line arrangement, the distance between the positioning shaft 54 ​​and the second conveyor wheel set 33 can be increased, thus avoiding adverse effects on the first conveyor wheel set 32 ​​when the positioning shaft 54 ​​swings.

[0085] like Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the two sides of the housing 10 are provided with a first strip hole 55 and a second strip hole 56. The two ends of the first rotating shaft 321 move within the range of the first strip hole 55 on both sides of the housing 10, and the two ends of the positioning shaft 54 ​​move within the range of the second strip hole 56 on both sides of the housing 10.

[0086] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the mechanism 100 also includes a counterweight wheel 57, which is used to press against the upper surface of the sheet 2 to keep the sheet 2 flat and prevent it from wrinkling. Furthermore, the two ends of the counterweight wheel 57 are movably connected to both sides of the housing 10. In the thickness direction of the sheet 2, a gap is formed between the counterweight wheel 57 and the second conveyor wheel assembly 33. The counterweight wheel 57 can move away from or towards the second conveyor wheel assembly 33, thereby adaptively adjusting the distance between the counterweight wheel 57 and the second conveyor wheel assembly 33 according to the thickness of the sheet 2. Specifically, there is an initial gap between the counterweight wheel 57 and the second conveyor wheel group 33. When the thickness of the sheet 2 is greater than the initial gap, the sheet 2 can lift the counterweight wheel 57 when it passes between the counterweight wheel 57 and the second conveyor wheel group 33. When the sheet 2 moves to the vending slot 300 and is taken away, the counterweight wheel 57 can fall back to its original position under the action of gravity in the direction closer to the second conveyor wheel group 33.

[0087] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the mechanism 100 also includes a door 70 and a linkage mechanism 80. The linkage mechanism 80 can be located on the side of the machine compartment 10 away from the second drive member 31, or it can be located on the same side as the second drive member 31. The door 70 is rotatably connected to the machine compartment 10, and the linkage mechanism 80 is driveably connected to the power output end of the second conveyor wheel assembly 33 so as to move under the drive of the second conveyor wheel assembly 33. The linkage mechanism 80 is used to drive the door 70 to move along a third or fourth direction to open or close the door 70, so that the door 70 exposes or covers the vending machine 300. The third and fourth directions are opposite, and the third direction intersects with the first direction. The door 70 is used to open before the sheet 2 moves to the vending machine 300 to expose the vending machine 300. The door 70 is also used to close after the sheet 2 returns to the vending machine 1 to cover the vending machine 300. Specifically, in conjunction with Figure 1 The sheet-like object 2 can be returned from the vending slot 300 to the body 200 of the vending machine 1.

[0088] In this embodiment, the power source for both the linkage mechanism 80 and the second conveyor wheel assembly 33 is the second drive member 31. While conveying the sheet material 2, the second conveyor wheel assembly 33 also transmits power to the linkage mechanism 80, allowing the linkage mechanism 80 to move under the transmission of the second conveyor wheel assembly 33. This active linkage drives the door 70 to move up and down, such as by swinging or pushing / pulling the door 70, to open or close it. The entire process requires no additional drive member to independently drive the linkage mechanism 80 to open and close the door 70. This embodiment uses an automatic door opening method to expose the vending machine 300, reducing the occurrence of wrinkling or deformation of the sheet material 2. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the door 70 opens before the sheet material 2 reaches the vending machine 300 and closes after the sheet material 2 has completely returned to the vending machine 1, preventing the door 10 from affecting the delivery and return of the sheet material 2 and avoiding damage to the sheet material 2 during opening and closing.

[0089] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, and in combination Figure 7 In one implementation, the linkage mechanism 80 is provided with a linkage part 80a, and the door body 70 is provided with a swing part 71. Driven by the linkage mechanism 80, the linkage part 80a moves along the fourth direction to reach a set contact position and presses against the swing part 71 to swing, causing the door body 70 to swing along the third direction to expose the sales opening 300. For example, the linkage part 80a moves downward under the drive of the linkage mechanism 80, reaches the set contact position to contact the swing part 71, and continues to move downward to press against the swing part 71, causing the swing part 71 to swing downward. The door 70 swings upward, revealing the vending machine 300. Driven by the linkage mechanism 80, the linkage part 80a can also move along a third direction to release the swing part 71 after passing a set contact position, causing the door 70 to swing along a fourth direction to cover the vending machine 300. For example, the linkage part 80a moves upward under the drive of the linkage mechanism 80, reaches the set contact position, and continues to move upward to release the swing part 71. The door 70 then swings downward under gravity to reset, covering the vending machine 300. When the linkage part 80a moves along a third direction to the set contact position, the sheet 2 completely retracts into the vending machine 1.

[0090] In practical application, the second driving component 31 drives the second transmission assembly 34 to move in a forward rotation, causing the second conveying wheel assembly 33 to rotate in a second clockwise (e.g., clockwise) direction to convey the sheet 2 to move in the first direction. During this process, the second conveying wheel assembly 33 also drives the linkage mechanism 80 to move, thereby enabling the linkage mechanism 80 to drive the linkage part 80a to move in a fourth direction (e.g., downward). When the linkage part 80a moves in the fourth direction to the set contact position, the door 70 is in the first position. The door 70 in the first position is placed on the machine compartment 10 and covers the vending slot 300. Subsequently, the linkage part 80a continues to move in the fourth direction from the set contact position to press against the swing part 71 to swing in the fourth direction, thereby causing the door 70 to swing in a third direction (e.g., upward), thus opening the door 70 and revealing the vending slot 300. During the process of waiting for the sheet 2 to arrive at the vending slot 300 and waiting for the sheet 2 to be taken away, the door 70 can remain in the second position, that is, the door 70 remains open.

[0091] After the sheet 2 is removed, the second drive unit 31 reverses to drive the second transmission assembly 34 to move, causing the second conveyor wheel group 33 to rotate in the first clockwise (e.g., counterclockwise) direction. The linkage mechanism 80 moves under the drive of the second conveyor wheel group 33 to drive the linkage part 80a to move in the third direction (e.g., upward), so that the linkage part 80a gradually moves back to approach the set contact position. During this process, the door body 70 can move from the second position in the fourth direction (e.g., downward) under its own gravity. After the linkage part 80a moves in the third direction to reach the set contact position, it will continue to move in the third direction to release the swing part 71 after passing the set contact position. The door body 70 continues to move slightly in the fourth direction under the action of gravity, returning to the first position and covering the vending slot 300.

[0092] When the second drive unit 31 reverses and drives the second transmission assembly 34 to move, if there is a sheet 2 at the vending slot 300, the first conveyor wheel group 32 and the second conveyor wheel group 33 can rub up and down against the surface of the sheet 2 to convey the sheet 2 back into the machine body 200. When the linkage unit 80a moves along the third direction to reach the set contact position, the sheet 2 is completely returned into the vending machine 1.

[0093] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one specific embodiment, both sides of the door body 70 are hinged to the machine compartment 10 via connecting shafts 72, and the swing part 71 is disposed on the side of the door body 70 near the linkage mechanism 80, with the swing part 71 arranged parallel to the connecting shaft 72.

[0094] Furthermore, a first elastic element 73 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 72 adjacent to the linkage mechanism 80. The first elastic element 73 is used to apply a force in the fourth direction to the door body 70. Specifically, the first elastic element 73 can be a torsion spring. One end of the first elastic element 73 is connected to the machine compartment 10, and the other end of the first elastic element 73 presses against the door body 70. When the linkage part 80a moves in the third direction (such as upward) and passes through the set contact position, and releases the swing part 71, under the downward pressure of the other end of the first elastic element 73, the door body 70 swings back to the first position in the fourth direction to cover the vending slot 300. The door body 70 can also be kept in the first position under the action of the elastic element to ensure the stability of closing the door.

[0095] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the linkage mechanism 80 includes a guide member 81, a sliding member 82, and a linkage gear 83. The sliding member 82 is slidably disposed on the guide member 81. The linkage gear 83 is driven to the power output end of the second conveyor wheel assembly 33, so as to rotate under the drive of the second conveyor wheel assembly 33. Specifically, the linkage gear 83 is driven to the power output end of the second rotating shaft 331, so as to rotate under the transmission action of the second rotating shaft 331. The linkage part 80a is disposed on the sliding member 82. The sliding member 82 is also provided with a transmission tooth 84. The transmission tooth 84 is an annular internal tooth. The linkage gear 83 meshes with the transmission tooth 84. When the linkage gear 83 rotates, it drives the sliding member 82 to slide on the guide member 81. Thus, when the sliding member 82 slides, it can drive the linkage part 80a to move, so as to press against or release the swing part 71.

[0096] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in a specific application, the rotation direction of the linkage gear 83 is the same as the rotation direction of the second conveyor wheel assembly 33, that is, the rotation direction of the linkage gear 83 is the same as the rotation direction of the second rotating shaft 331.

[0097] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, in one embodiment, the guide member 81 is disposed on the side of the housing 10 away from the second drive member 31. The guide member 81 includes an annular plate 811, and the sliding member 82 includes a mounting body 821 and an annular body 822. The annular body 822 is rotatably mounted on the housing 10 via the mounting body 821, so that the annular body 822 can rotate relative to the housing 10. A transmission gear 84 is disposed on the side of the annular body 822 facing the mounting body 821, and a linkage part 80a is disposed on the side of the annular body 822 away from the mounting body 821. The transmission gear 84 of the annular body 822 meshes with a linkage gear 83, so that under the drive of the linkage gear 83, the annular body 822 slides on the guide member 81, thereby driving the linkage part 80a disposed on the annular body 822 to move. Specifically, the swing part 71 can be a protrusion protruding on the door body 70, and the extension direction of the protrusion is the length direction of the door body 70. Furthermore, the machine compartment 10 has a first side 10a and a second side 10b, which are arranged adjacent to each other. The door 70 is located between the first side 10a and the vending machine 300, and the linkage mechanism 80 is arranged on the second side 10b.

[0098] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the mounting body 821 further includes a mounting portion 8211, a first connecting rod 8212, and a second connecting rod 8213. The annular body 822 is located on the side of the guide member 81 facing the housing 10, while the first connecting rod 8212 and the second connecting rod 8213 are located on the side of the guide member 81 away from the housing 10. The first connecting rod 8212 and the second connecting rod 8213 are angled together to achieve the mounting of the annular body 822 to the guide member 81. The mounting portion 8211 is rotatably mounted on the housing 10, and the annular body 822 is connected to the mounting portion 8211 via the first connecting rod 8212 and the second connecting rod 8213, allowing the annular body 822 to rotate relative to the housing 10. For example, the guide member 81 can be an annular gear ring, and the sliding member 82 can be a gear ring baffle.

[0099] Furthermore, when the linkage 80a is in the set contact position, the first connecting rod 8212 is located below the second connecting rod 8213; the mechanism 100 also includes a second detection element (not shown), which is disposed on the same side as the linkage mechanism 80 and is electrically connected to the control board 52. The second detection element can be a sensor, such as a reflective sensor. The first connecting rod 8212 has a protrusion 85 on the side away from the annular body 822. The first connecting rod 8212 drives the protrusion 85 under the drive of the annular body 822. 5. During the movement of the protrusion 85, it gradually approaches the second detection element to fall into the detection range of the second detection element. When the second detection element detects the protrusion 85, the second driving element 31 stops driving to stop driving the linkage mechanism 80, keeping the door 70 open, and causing the first conveying wheel group 32 and the second conveying wheel group 33 to stop conveying the sheet 2 along the first direction. Thus, the sheet 2 can remain at the vending machine 300 for a period of time (such as 1 to 2 minutes, which can be set as needed) to facilitate the user to take away the sheet 2.

[0100] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 7 In another embodiment, the guide member 81 is disposed on the same side as the second drive member 31. Both the guide member 81 and the slider 82 extend along the height direction of the body 200, and the slider 82 is slidably connected to the guide member 81. In a specific application, the slider 82 moves up and down under the drive of the linkage gear 83, thereby pressing against or releasing the swing part 71 to open or close the door 70. For example, the guide member 81 can be a guide rail, and the slider 82 can be a rack.

[0101] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the cabin 10 includes a first cabin body 11 and a second cabin body 12. The storage area 40 is located in the first cabin body 11, and the first drive structure 20 is installed on the first cabin body 11. In the direction of movement of the sheet 2, the second cabin body 12 is arranged side by side with the first cabin body 11, and the second drive structure 30 is installed on the second cabin body 12.

[0102] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 8Furthermore, the first compartment 11 is provided with a first support plate 111, which is used to place multiple stacked sheet-like objects 2. It should be understood that the sheet-like objects 2 can be placed directly on the first support plate 11 or indirectly on the first support plate 11. The second compartment 12 is provided with a second support plate 121. The machine compartment 10 also includes a partition 13 and a third support plate 14. In the direction of movement of the sheet-like objects 2, the partition 13 is located between the first compartment 11 and the second compartment 12, and the third support plate 14 is located between the first support plate 111 and the second support plate 121. The third support plate 14 and the partition 13 are arranged along the thickness direction of the sheet-like objects 2, and a first space (not shown) is formed between the third support plate 14 and the partition 13. The first space is used for at least one sheet-like object 2 to pass through, such as one or two.

[0103] In practical applications, depending on actual needs, the first space can be set to allow only one sheet 2 to pass through, so that the partition 13 can prevent multiple sheet 2 from being carried out by the first drive structure 20 together. This helps a single sheet 2 to move sequentially from the first compartment 11 to the second compartment 12 along the first direction and finally be sent out of the machine compartment 10. Moreover, during the process of sending out the sheet 2, the first support plate 111 and the second support plate 121 can play a certain role in bearing the sheet 2, improving the stability of conveying the sheet 2 and effectively preventing the sheet 2 from collapsing or falling.

[0104] In addition, the first space is set to allow two sheet-like objects 2 to pass through at one time according to actual needs, so that the partition 13 can block three or more sheet-like objects 2 from passing through, so that two sheet-like objects 2 can be sent out at one time.

[0105] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, and in combination Figure 8 In one embodiment, a first space is formed between the partition 13 and the opposite side of the third support plate 14 in the thickness direction of the sheet 2, and a second space (not shown) is formed between the partition 13 and the opposite side of the third support plate 14. The second space can be a sandwich formed by the third support plate 14 and the second support plate 121. When the sheet 2 moves along the second direction to the second compartment 12, it is placed in the second space, so that the sheet 2 does not need to be returned to the first compartment 11 when it is retracted, so that the second drive structure 30 can deliver the sheet 2 to the vending port 300 when it is sold next time.

[0106] Furthermore, the first drive structure 20 is located below the first support plate 111, and a portion of the transmission wheel assembly 23 of the first drive structure 20 passes through the first support plate 111 and extends into the storage area 40, so that the transmission wheel assembly 23 can transport the sheet-like objects 2 in the storage area 40 when it rotates. Specifically, the first compartment 11 is provided with a receiving space 112 located below the first support plate 111, and the transmission wheel assembly 23 is located in the receiving space 112.

[0107] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the vending machine 1 has a refill port 400 on its body 200. The refill port 400 is connected to the storage area 40, and the sheet-like items 2 can enter and exit through the refill port 400 to facilitate replenishment and replacement of the sheet-like items 2 when needed. Specifically, the refill port 400 is located on the side of the machine body 200.

[0108] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the first storage compartment 11 is provided with a limiting member 15, which is slidably connected to the first support plate 111. The limiting member 15 can slide along the first direction on the first support plate 111. The limiting member 15, the first support plate 111, and the partition 13 enclose a storage area 40. In the length direction of the sheet-like object 2, one side wall of the limiting member 15 abuts against one side of the sheet-like object 2, and the other side wall of the limiting member 15 abuts against the other side of the sheet-like object 2, thereby restricting the sheet-like object 2 from moving along its length direction. In this embodiment, by setting the limiting member 15 to limit the sheet-like object 2 on both sides in the length direction, multiple sheet-like objects 2 can be aligned in the center. Moreover, the limiting member 15 can also slide along the first direction on the first support plate 111, thereby adjusting the size of the storage area 40 in the first direction to accommodate sheet-like objects 2 of different specifications.

[0109] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in one specific embodiment, one sidewall of the limiting member 15 is spaced apart from the partition 13 in the first direction to connect the replenishment port 400 and the storage area 40, so as to facilitate the replenishment and replacement of the sheet 2 when needed.

[0110] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8As shown, the second compartment 12 is provided with a first receiving space 122 and a second receiving space 123. The first receiving space 122 and the second receiving space 123 are located on the upper and lower sides of the first support plate 111, respectively. The first conveyor wheel assembly 32 is located in the first receiving space 122, and the second conveyor wheel assembly 33 is located in the second receiving space 123. A portion of the second conveyor wheel assembly 33 passes through the second support plate 121 to extend into the first receiving space 122, forming a clamping space 35 with the first conveyor wheel assembly 32.

[0111] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the vending machine 1 has a restocking compartment door 500 on its body 200. The restocking compartment door 500 is detachably installed on the restocking port 400, allowing the sheet-like items 2 to enter the storage area 40 through the restocking port 400. In this embodiment, the restocking compartment door 500 can be removed when replenishing or replacing the sheet-like items 2. In another embodiment, the restocking compartment door 500 is hinged to the restocking port 400, allowing the restocking compartment door 500 to be manually rotated to open or close the restocking port 400 when replenishing or replacing the sheet-like items 2.

[0112] Combination Figure 9 In one implementation, the machine body 200 is equipped with an indicator light 600, which is located on the same side as the vending machine 300. The indicator light 600 can be located above or below the vending machine 300. The indicator light 600 can be used to display the operating status of the vending machine 1.

[0113] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the mechanism 100 further includes a paging mechanism 90, which is rotatably connected to the housing 10 and located between the first drive structure 20 and the second drive structure 30. In the thickness direction of the sheet 2, the distance between the paging mechanism 90 and the housing 10 is greater than the thickness of one sheet 2 but less than the thickness of two sheets 2, thus the first drive structure 20 can only deliver one sheet 2 at a time. It should be noted that the sheet 2 delivered by the first drive structure 20 is the bottommost sheet 2 among the multiple stacked sheets 2.

[0114] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the paging mechanism 90 is located on the side of the partition 13 away from the storage area 40. With the assistance of the partition 13, the paging mechanism 90 can intercept all the sheet-like objects 2 except for the bottom sheet-like object 2.

[0115] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the paging mechanism 90 further includes a paging plate 91 and a second elastic element 92. The paging plate 91 is rotatably mounted on the housing 10. Specifically, the paging plate 91 is provided with a rotating shaft 93. The paging plate 91 is rotatably mounted on the housing 10 through the rotating shaft 93. The paging plate 91 is rotated around the housing 10 under the push of the sheet 2 and reset under the action of the second elastic element 92. There is a preset gap between the paging plate 91 and the housing 10. Specifically, a preset gap is formed between the paging plate 91 and the mounting surface on the housing 10 that is opposite to the paging plate 91. The preset gap can be within 10mm to accommodate sheet 2 with a thickness in the range of 1mm-6mm.

[0116] Furthermore, the second elastic element 92 can be a torsion spring. The second elastic element 92 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 93. One end of the second elastic element 92 is connected to the machine compartment 10, and the other end of the second elastic element 92 is connected to the paging plate 91. Specifically, one end of the second elastic element 92 is connected to the partition plate 13, and the other end of the second elastic element 92 is connected to the paging plate 91 to increase the resistance of the paging plate 91 to the remaining sheet-like objects 2 except for the bottom sheet-like object 2, thereby effectively intercepting the remaining sheet-like objects 2 except for the bottom sheet-like object 2.

[0117] Second set of embodiments:

[0118] The vending equipment provided in this embodiment can be found in [reference]. Figures 9 to 12 .

[0119] The main differences between this embodiment and the first set of embodiments are the different structures of the first transmission component 22 and the second transmission component 34, the different swing center of the support 60, the different way of opening the door 70, and the different structures forming the storage area 40, as detailed below:

[0120] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in one embodiment, the first transmission component 22 of the first drive structure 20 includes a first coupling component 223. The first coupling component 223 can be a coupling. The drive component is connected to the transmission wheel set 23 through the first coupling component 223 to drive the transmission wheel set 23 to rotate, thereby the transmission wheel set 23 conveys the sheet-like object 2.

[0121] like Figures 10 to 12 As shown, in one embodiment, the second transmission component 34 of the second drive structure 30 includes a second coupling member (not shown) and a gear set 344. The second coupling member can be a coupling. The second drive member 31 is driven to one end of the second rotating shaft 331 through the second coupling member to drive the second rotating shaft 331 to rotate. The other end of the second rotating shaft 331 is driven to the first rotating shaft 321 through the gear set 344 to drive the first rotating shaft 321 to rotate, thereby driving the first roller 322 to rotate.

[0122] Furthermore, the gear set 344 includes a first gear 3441, a second gear 3442, a third gear 3443, and a fourth gear 3444. The first gear 3441 is rotatably connected to the side of the housing 10 away from the second drive member 31. The second gear 3442 is connected to the end of the second rotating shaft 331 away from the second drive member 31, so as to rotate under the drive of the second rotating shaft 331. The second gear 3442 meshes with the first gear 3441, and the second gear 3442 drives the first gear 3441 to rotate under the action of the second rotating shaft 331. The third gear 3443 is connected to the first rotating shaft 321. The fourth gear 3444 is located between the first gear 3441 and the third gear 3443, and meshes with the first gear 3441 and the third gear 3443 respectively. Under the transmission action of the first gear 3441, the fourth gear 3444 drives the third gear 3443 to rotate, so as to drive the first rotating shaft 321 to rotate, thereby driving the first roller 322 to rotate.

[0123] like Figures 10 to 12 As shown, in one embodiment, the first drive member 21 and the second drive member 31 are arranged on the same side, and the second drive member 31 and the gear set 344 are located on both sides of the machine compartment 10, which is a reasonable arrangement.

[0124] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in one embodiment, the two sides of the machine compartment 10 are provided with mounting shafts 16, and the two mounting shafts 16 correspond one-to-one with the two supports 60. In the same support 60, the end of the support 60 away from the first roller 322 is mounted on the mounting shaft 16. The support 60 is also connected to the first rotating shaft 321 and the positioning shaft 54 ​​respectively. When the first roller 322 moves along the thickness direction of the sheet 2, it drives the two supports 60 to swing around the mounting shaft 16 as the set swing center.

[0125] In this embodiment, the same support 60 is connected to the first rotating shaft 321, the positioning shaft 54, and the mounting shaft 16 respectively. This enhances the rigidity of the two supports 60, making them form a whole. This allows the two supports 60 to swing synchronously, preventing the sheet 2 from wrinkling and maintaining a fixed distance between the two supports 60. Furthermore, the positioning shaft 54 ​​is located between the first rotating shaft 321 and the mounting shaft 16 on the same straight line.

[0126] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the mechanism 100 includes a door 70, which is hinged to the vending slot 300. When the sheet 2 moves along the first direction to the vending slot 300 and continues to move along the first direction, the door 70 is pushed open by the sheet 2, thereby opening the door 70.

[0127] like Figures 9 to 11As shown, in one embodiment, no replenishment compartment door is provided at the replenishment port 400. The machine compartment 10 also includes a storage shell 17, which is slidably mounted on the first support plate 111. The storage shell 17 forms a storage area 40. By pushing and pulling the storage shell 17, it can enter and exit through the replenishment port 400. Thus, when the remaining amount of sheet material 2 in the storage shell 17 is insufficient, the storage shell 17 can be pulled out for replenishment. After replenishment, the storage shell 17 can be pushed into the machine body 200 from the replenishment port 400. Furthermore, a pressure plate (not shown) for flattening the sheet material 2 is provided inside the storage shell 17. The pressure plate is slidably disposed inside the storage shell 17.

[0128] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in one embodiment, in the case where the movement 100 includes a balance detection element 53, the storage housing 17 is provided with an opening 171 in the area facing the detection end of the balance detection element 53, so that the balance detection element 53 can detect the balance of the sheet 2 inside the storage housing 17.

[0129] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and does not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the content of this application's specification and drawings under the concept of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this application.
