Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vending machine technology, and in particular relates to an adjustable shelf structure. Background Technology

[0002] In current vending machines, the internal shelving aisles mostly use fixed-width sheet metal aisles. For example, these sheet metal aisles are used to accommodate various products in vending machines. However, when it is necessary to adjust the products being sold, due to the different sizes of different types of products, there are situations where the product dimensions cannot fit the sheet metal aisles, making it impossible for merchants to smoothly stock new products, thus affecting product sales and inventory management. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose an adjustable shelf structure for adjusting the aisles used to place goods, so as to at least partially solve the problems in the related technology.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0005] An adjustable shelving structure includes:

[0006] The frame is installed inside the vending machine;

[0007] A tray, mounted on a frame, includes a shelf, a connector plate, and partitions. Two connector plates are fixed to the shelf, arranged opposite each other along the length of the shelf. The frame has slide rail assemblies for the connector plates to insert into. Each partition has a locking assembly to allow it to be slidably and lockably connected to the shelf. Multiple partitions are spaced apart on the shelf, with any two adjacent partitions forming a channel for placing goods. Multiple slide rail assemblies are equally spaced along the height of the frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the storage component includes a base plate, side plates, and a mounting plate;

[0009] Both the side plate and the mounting plate are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate. There are two side plates, which are arranged opposite each other along the length of the base plate. The side plates and the adjacent partitions together form the cargo channel, and the inlet and outlet of the cargo channel are arranged opposite to the mounting plate.

[0010] Furthermore, a reinforcing beam and a reinforcing plate are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the base plate. There are two reinforcing plates, which are arranged opposite each other along the length direction of the base plate. The reinforcing beam is arranged between the two reinforcing plates, and there are multiple reinforcing beams, which are spaced apart along the width direction of the base plate.

[0011] Furthermore, an abutment plate is fixedly connected to the end of the reinforcing plate opposite to the mounting plate;

[0012] The abutment plate is provided with a first through hole, and the frame is provided with a second through hole corresponding to the first through hole. When the tray is installed on the frame, the first through hole and the second through hole are coaxially arranged.

[0013] Furthermore, the slide assembly includes a slide groove and a limiting groove;

[0014] When the tray is installed on the frame, the end of the plug plate that is away from the abutment plate is inserted into the limiting groove after passing through the slide groove.

[0015] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes a first fixing plate, a screw, a second fixing plate, and a nut;

[0016] One end of the first fixing plate is fixedly connected to the partition plate, and the other end is fixedly connected to the screw rod. The second fixing plate is sleeved on the screw rod, and the nut is threadedly connected to the screw rod. The mounting plate is provided with a through groove for the screw rod to pass through.

[0017] Furthermore, a baffle is fixedly connected to the end of the partition that is away from the mounting plate.

[0018] Furthermore, a snap-fit ​​plate is fixedly connected to the baffle, and a snap-fit ​​groove for inserting part of the bottom plate is formed between the snap-fit ​​plate and the partition. The snap-fit ​​plate and the first fixing plate are arranged opposite to each other along the length direction of the partition.

[0019] With the above technical solution, when goods need to be replaced and the replacement goods are large or small, in order to make the aisles more compatible with the goods to be replaced, the position of the partitions on the shelves can be adjusted, thereby changing the distance between the aisles of adjacent partitions. The locking component ensures that the partitions can be firmly locked on the shelves after adjustment, preventing the partitions from loosening or moving during use and ensuring the stability of the aisles. At the same time, there are multiple slide assemblies, and the distance between adjacent pallets can be achieved by plugging in different slide assemblies with plug-in plates, further increasing the flexibility and stability of the shelving structure.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0032] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0033] In the specific embodiments provided in this disclosure, an adjustable shelf structure is provided, with reference to... Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the shelf structure includes: a frame 1 and a tray 2. The frame 1 is installed inside the vending machine. The tray 2 is installed on the frame 1 and includes a storage component 201, a connector plate 202, and a partition 203. The connector plate 202 is fixed to the storage component 201, and there are two connector plates 202. The two connector plates 202 are arranged opposite each other along the length direction of the storage component 201. The frame 1 is provided with a slide rail assembly 8 for the connector plates 202 to be inserted into. The partition 203 is provided with a locking assembly 3 so that the partition 203 can be slidably locked to the storage component 201. There are multiple partitions 203. The multiple partitions 203 are spaced apart on the storage component 201, and a channel 4 for placing goods is formed between any two adjacent partitions 203. There are multiple slide rail assemblies 8. The multiple slide rail assemblies 8 are equally spaced along the height direction of the frame 1.

[0034] Through the above technical solution, when goods need to be replaced and the size of the replacement goods is large or small, in order to make the aisle 4 more compatible with the goods to be replaced, the position of the partition 203 on the storage unit 201 can be adjusted, so that the distance of the aisle 4 between two adjacent partitions 203 changes. The locking component 3 can ensure that the partition 203 can be firmly locked on the storage unit 201 after the adjustment is completed, so as to prevent the partition 203 from loosening or moving during use and ensure the stability of the aisle 4. At the same time, there are multiple slide components 8, and the distance between two adjacent pallets 2 can be achieved by plugging the plug plate 202 into different slide components 8, which further increases the flexibility and stability of the shelf structure.

[0035] For example, through the partition 203, merchants can quickly and easily adjust the width of the aisle 4 to adapt to the needs of product replacement, reducing the time and labor required for product shelving and improving operational efficiency. At the same time, multiple slide components 8 are equally spaced along the height direction of the frame 1, which can adjust the height between two trays 2 as needed, further optimizing the use of space and achieving the goal of improving the display effect of products in a limited space.

[0036] In some implementations, reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the storage unit 201 includes a base plate 2011, side plates 2012, and mounting plate 2013. The side plates 2012 and mounting plate 2013 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 2011. The side plates 2012 and mounting plate 2013 limit the boundary of the base plate 2011. There are two side plates 2012, which are arranged opposite to each other along the length of the base plate 2011. The side plates 2012 and the adjacent partitions 203 can also form a channel 4. That is, when the channel 4 is composed of side plates 2012 and partitions 203, the width of the channel 4 can be adjusted by simply moving the partitions 203. At the same time, the inlet and outlet of the channel 4 are arranged opposite to the mounting plate 2013. The mounting plate 2013 blocks the goods located in the channel 4 to prevent the goods from leaving the channel 4 from one end of the mounting plate 2013.

[0037] For example, the side panel 2012 and the mounting plate 2013 are fixed to the base plate 2011, which can effectively enhance the overall stability of the storage component 201, avoid the problem of component loosening during use, and improve the overall service life and stability of the shelf structure.

[0038] In some implementations, reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, to prevent the base plate 2011 from bending after long-term use, a reinforcing beam 5 and a reinforcing plate 6 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the base plate 2011. The reinforcing beam 5 and the reinforcing plate 6 are vertically connected. There are two reinforcing plates 6, which are arranged opposite each other along the length of the base plate 2011. The reinforcing beam 5 is arranged between the two reinforcing plates 6, and there are multiple reinforcing beams 5. The multiple reinforcing beams 5 are spaced apart along the width of the base plate 2011. Under the coordinated action of the reinforcing plates 6 and the reinforcing beams 5, the base plate 2011 can bear heavier goods and is not easily bent or deformed. The multiple reinforcing beams 5 are evenly spaced along the width of the base plate 2011, which makes the stress on the base plate 2011 more uniform and improves the overall load-bearing capacity and service life of the shelf structure to a certain extent.

[0039] In some implementations, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the end of the reinforcing plate 6 facing away from the mounting plate 2013 is fixedly connected to the abutment plate 7. The abutment plate 7 is provided with a first through hole 701, and the frame 1 is provided with a second through hole 101 corresponding to the first through hole 701. When the tray 2 is installed on the frame 1, the first through hole 701 and the second through hole 101 are coaxially arranged. At this time, the abutment plate 7 can be fixed by a limiting pin. That is, the limiting pin passes through the first through hole 701 and the second through hole 101, and passes through the frame 1 and the abutment plate 7, so that the connection between the tray 2 and the frame 1 is more secure.

[0040] For example, the second through hole 101 is configured as a threaded hole, and when the first through hole 701 and the second through hole 101 are coaxially arranged, the abutment plate 7 can be fixed by screws.

[0041] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the slide assembly 8 includes a slide groove 801 and a limiting groove 802. When the tray 2 is installed on the frame 1, the plug plate 202 passes through the slide groove 801 and its end away from the abutment plate 7 is inserted into the limiting groove 802. The slide groove 801 is the initial channel for the plug plate 202 to be installed on the frame 1. That is, when the tray 2 is installed, one end of the plug plate 202 passes through the slide groove 801 and moves toward the limiting groove 802, and finally the one end of the plug plate 202 is inserted into the limiting groove 802.

[0042] For example, the slide 801 serves as a guide, making the installation process smoother, reducing errors in manual alignment, and improving installation efficiency; the limiting groove 802 provides a final fixing function, ensuring that once the plug plate 202 enters the limiting groove 802, it will not easily come out, preventing the tray 2 from loosening due to vibration or external force during use.

[0043] In some implementations, reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the locking assembly 3 includes a first fixing plate 301, a screw 302, a second fixing plate 303, and a nut 304. One end of the first fixing plate 301 is fixedly connected to the partition 203, and the other end is fixedly connected to the screw 302. The second fixing plate 303 is sleeved on the screw 302. The nut 304 is threadedly connected to the screw 302. The mounting plate 2013 is provided with a through groove for the screw 302 to pass through. That is, when it is necessary to fix the partition 203, rotating the nut 304 causes the first fixing plate 301 and the second fixing plate 303 to clamp the mounting plate 2013. The locking force can be precisely controlled by rotating the nut 304, so that the partition 203 can be tightened or loosened according to actual needs.

[0044] In some implementations, reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a baffle 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the partition 203 away from the mounting plate 2013. This baffle 9 is located at the entrance and exit of the vending machine 4, thus blocking the goods and preventing them from sliding out of the vending machine 4 due to improper placement, vibration, or external forces. In other words, by placing the baffle 9 at the entrance and exit of the vending machine 4, the baffle 9 directly forms an effective physical barrier to the goods. Whether it's the operation of placing goods on the shelf or the movement of goods caused by external forces (such as vibration or frequent opening and closing of the vending machine door), the baffle 9 can effectively prevent the goods from sliding out of the vending machine 4.

[0045] In some implementations, reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a snap-fit ​​plate 901 is fixedly connected to the baffle 9. A snap-fit ​​groove 9011 for inserting part of the base plate 2011 is formed between the snap-fit ​​plate 901 and the partition 203. The snap-fit ​​plate 901 and the first fixing plate 301 are arranged opposite to each other along the length direction of the partition 203. When the partition 203 is installed on the base plate 2011, the base plate 2011 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 9011. At the same time, the screw 302 passes through the mounting plate 2013 through the through groove. The snap-fit ​​plate 901 can limit the partition 203. That is, one end of the partition 203 is limited by the snap-fit ​​plate 901, and the other end is fixed to the mounting plate 2013 by the locking component 3. With the cooperation of the snap-fit ​​groove 9011 and the locking component 3, the partition 203 can be more firmly installed on the base plate 2011.

[0046] In some embodiments not shown, the locking assembly 3 includes a plug-in post, which is fixed to the lower surface of the partition 203 and is fitted with a rubber sleeve. The base plate 2011 has a channel for the plug-in post to be inserted into. Under the action of the rubber sleeve, the plug-in post can be firmly and stably inserted into the channel. The base plate 2011 has several channels so that the partition 203 can select the corresponding channel on the base plate 2011 for insertion according to the product size.
