Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vending machine technology, specifically to a vending machine glass plate replacement structure. Background Technology

[0002] Vending machines are intelligent devices primarily used to sell beverages and food. Customers insert coins or swipe IC cards, and the machine automatically dispenses the goods and gives change, enabling human-machine interaction. However, due to the decorative and area-dividing functions of glass partitions, they currently lack internal structures for quick disassembly of the glass panels. Therefore, replacing the entire glass partition when a panel is broken or damaged is quite cumbersome.

[0003] For example, document CN202022536813.6 discloses "An Indoor Glass Partition with Quickly Replaceable Glass Panels". It features an internally installed first ejector spring and an externally installed positioning component. During installation of the built-in glass panel, the panel exerts a certain compressive force on the spring. Simultaneously, after the glass panel is installed within the partition's outer frame, the positioning pin of the positioning component slides on the panel when the panel is moved. When the pin aligns with the positioning hole in the glass panel, the spring automatically inserts it into the hole, allowing for quick fixing of the panel. For disassembly, simply pull the pin with a pull ring to disengage it from the hole, and the first ejector spring will push the panel out partially, facilitating quick removal and replacement by workers.

[0004] When replacing the glass panel of a vending machine, misalignment can easily occur during installation. This misalignment can indirectly affect the use of the vending machine, causing it to malfunction and impacting the display and sale of goods. Summary of the Invention
