[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-6 The self-service vending machine cabinet door structure shown includes:
[0028] Door panel 1, with a loading opening 3 located on the lower side wall of door panel 1;
[0029] A transparent window 2 is provided on the side wall of the door panel 1, and the transparent window 2 is located above the picking-up port 3.
[0030] The top of the inner side of the pickup port 3 is arc-shaped.
[0031] The bottom of the loading port 3 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 4 via a bearing. A first fixing plate 5 and a second fixing plate 6 are symmetrically arranged on one side of the connecting shaft 4, and a buffer assembly is provided between the first fixing plate 5 and the second fixing plate 6.
[0032] The buffer assembly includes a connecting plate 16 fixedly connected between the bottom ends of the first fixed plate 5 and the second fixed plate 6. A plurality of springs 17 are provided on the top side of the connecting plate 16, and a buffer plate 18 is connected between the top ends of the plurality of springs 17.
[0033] A telescopic cylinder 19 is provided inside the spring 17, and the two ends of the telescopic cylinder 19 are fixedly connected to the buffer plate 18 and the connecting plate 16, respectively.
[0034] The cavity 7 is located inside the door panel 1 on the side near the loading port 3, and a support frame 8 is fixed inside the cavity 7. A movable column 9 is provided inside the support frame 8. A toothed plate 10 is fixed on one side of the movable column 9. One end of the connecting shaft 4 extends into the cavity 7 and is connected to a gear 11, and the gear 11 meshes with the toothed plate 10.
[0035] The support frame 8 has a threaded rod 12 rotatably connected inside via a bearing, and a drive motor 13 is fixed at the top of the support frame 8. The output end of the drive motor 13 is connected to the threaded rod 12.
[0036] Initially, the first fixing plate 5 stands upright inside the retrieval opening 3, and the second fixing plate 6 is located inside the cabinet. The first fixing plate 5 and the second fixing plate 6 are opened at a certain angle, with the opening facing the goods drop-out channel inside the cabinet. After a customer successfully makes a purchase, the item can fall between the first fixing plate 5 and the second fixing plate 6. Then, the control system inside the cabinet starts the drive motor 13, which drives the threaded rod 12 to rotate. The threaded rod 12 can drive the movable column 9 to move within the support frame 8, thereby causing the movable column 9 to drive the toothed plate 10 to move. Then, the toothed plate 10 drives the gear 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting shaft 4 to rotate. Then, the connecting shaft 4 can drive the first fixing plate 5 and the second fixing plate 6 to rotate, causing the goods between the first fixing plate 5 and the second fixing plate 6 to extend out of the retrieval opening 3, thus facilitating customers to quickly retrieve their goods. It is simple and convenient to use, and the retrieval opening 3 can be closed again after the first fixing plate 5 is reset, providing strong security and anti-theft performance and greatly improving the usability.
[0037] A slider 14 is fixed to one side of the movable column 9 relative to the toothed plate 10, and a groove 15 matching the slider 14 is provided on the inner side of the support frame 8. Based on this, by setting the slider 14 and the groove 15, the movable column 9 can drive the slider 14 to slide in the groove 15, thereby greatly enhancing the stability of the movable column 9 when it moves.
[0038] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
