[0017] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the drawings. The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and should not be understood as limiting the present application.

[0018] Please refer to Figs. 1 to 3 , Fig. 1 is a structural schematic view of an automatic vending machine with a collision buffering function of the present application, Fig. 2 is a front view of an automatic vending machine with a collision buffering function of the present application, Fig. 3 is a partial sectional view of an automatic vending machine with a collision buffering function of the present application.

[0019] The present application provides an automatic vending machine with a collision buffering function, comprising a box 100 with a refrigeration unit inside and a buffering assembly. The buffering assembly comprises a fixed shaft 210, a buffer plate 220, an elastic telescopic rod, a limiting block 230, a rubber block 240 and an elastic structure. The elastic telescopic rod comprises a fixed cylinder 250, a first spring 260 and a movable cylinder 270. The elastic structure comprises a second spring 280 and a movable plate 290.

[0020] For this specific embodiment, the box 100 has a delivery bin 110 and a pickup bin 120, the delivery bin 110 is located on the side of the pickup bin 120, and the delivery bin 110 and the pickup bin 120 are communicated through an opening 130, the fixed shaft 210 is fixedly connected with the box 100, the fixed shaft 210 is vertically arranged inside the delivery bin 110, the buffer plate 220 is slidingly connected with the fixed shaft 210, the buffer plate 220 is obliquely sleeved on the fixed shaft 210, the bottom of the elastic telescopic rod is fixedly connected with the box 100, the top of the elastic telescopic rod is fixedly connected with the buffer plate 220, and the elastic telescopic rod is located below the buffer plate 220. The inside of the box 100 is provided with a refrigeration unit, so that the inside of the box 100 reaches a refrigeration temperature, which can meet the heat preservation demand of the refrigeration temperature. The elastic telescopic rod has elasticity, the buffer plate 220 can slide up and down relative to the fixed shaft 210, and the elastic telescopic rod arranged below the buffer plate 220 can reset the buffer plate 220 after being impacted. When the goods in the box 100 are sold, the goods fall on the buffer plate 220 in the delivery bin 110, the buffer plate 220 is impacted by the goods and slowly descends under the driving of the elastic telescopic rod, so that the goods slowly descend on the buffer plate 220. Since the buffer plate 220 is obliquely arranged, when the buffer plate 220 moves to the opening 130, the goods roll down from the opening 130 to the pickup bin 120. Since the height of the opening 130 from the bottom of the pickup bin 120 is low, the goods falling from the opening 130 to the pickup bin 120 will not affect the goods. Since the buffer plate 220 and the elastic telescopic rod cooperate with each other to buffer the impact of the goods, the goods are prevented from being damaged due to the expansion of the goods; solve the problem that the goods in the box 100 inside will produce larger collision when falling into the pickup bin, and then cause the goods to be deformed and damaged.

[0021] Further, the limiting block 230 is fixedly connected with the box 100, the limiting block 230 is located inside the delivery bin 110 and at the opening 130. The limiting block 230 is used to limit the moving range of the buffer plate 220, when the buffer plate 220 is impacted by the goods and moves downward to the limiting block 230, the limiting block 230 limits the buffer plate 220, so that the buffer plate 220 cannot continue to move downward, thereby enabling the goods to roll through the opening 130 into the take-out bin 120. When the goods in the box 100 are sold, the goods fall on the buffer plate 220 of the delivery bin 110, the buffer plate 220 is impacted by the goods and slowly descends under the driving of the elastic telescopic rod, so that the goods slowly descend on the buffer plate 220, because the buffer plate 220 is inclinedly arranged, when the buffer plate 220 moves to the opening 130, the buffer plate 220 is limited by the limiting block 230 and cannot continue to move downward, the goods roll through the opening 130 into the take-out bin 120, because the opening 130 is low in height from the bottom of the take-out bin 120, the goods falling from the opening 130 into the take-out bin 120 will not affect the goods, because the buffer plate 220 and the elastic telescopic rod cooperate with each other to buffer the impact of the goods, thereby preventing the goods from being damaged due to the expansion of the goods.

[0022] Specifically, the rubber block 240 is fixedly connected with the buffer plate 220, and the rubber block 240 is located above the buffer plate 220. The rubber block 240 is arranged above the buffer plate 220, when the goods fall, the rubber block 240 protects the goods, further improving the protection effect of the goods.

[0023] Wherein, the bottom of the fixed cylinder 250 is fixedly connected with the box 100, the bottom end of the movable cylinder 270 is slidingly connected with the fixed cylinder 250, the top of the movable cylinder 270 is fixedly connected with the buffer plate 220, both ends of the first spring 260 are fixedly connected with the movable cylinder 270 and the fixed cylinder 250 respectively, and the first spring 260 is located inside the fixed cylinder 250. The first spring 260 abuts against the movable cylinder 270, when the buffer plate 220 is impacted, the movable cylinder 270 moves into the fixed cylinder 250, at this time the first spring 260 is compressed to generate a restoring force, thereby buffering the buffer plate 220 to protect the goods.

[0024] In addition, two ends of the second spring 280 are fixedly connected with the box body 100 and the movable plate 290 respectively, the second spring 280 is located inside the goods taking bin 120, the movable plate 290 is slidably connected with the box body 100, and the movable plate 290 is located above the second spring 280. The movable plate 290 can slide up and down in the goods taking bin 120, and the second spring 280 abuts against the movable plate 290, so that when the goods fall on the movable plate 290, the second spring 280 is compressed to generate a restoring force, further buffering the goods.

[0025] When using the vending machine with the collision buffering function, when the goods are sold, the goods fall on the buffer plate 220 in the goods taking bin 120, the buffer plate 220 is impacted by the goods and slowly descends under the driving of the elastic telescopic rod, so that the goods slowly descend on the buffer plate 220. Since the buffer plate 220 is inclined, when the buffer plate 220 moves to the opening 130, the buffer plate 220 is limited by the limiting block 230 and cannot continue to move downward, and the goods roll through the opening 130 to the movable plate 290 in the goods taking bin 120. Since the height from the opening 130 to the bottom of the goods taking bin 120 is low, the goods falling from the opening 130 in the goods taking bin 120 will not affect the goods. Since the buffer plate 220 and the elastic telescopic rod are matched with each other, and the movable plate 290 and the second spring 280 are matched with each other, the impact of the goods is buffered, so that the goods are prevented from being damaged due to the expansion of the goods.

[0026] The above only discloses one or more preferred embodiments of the application, and cannot limit the scope of the application. Those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the above-mentioned embodiments can be implemented, and equivalent changes made according to the claims of the application still belong to the scope covered by the application.
