[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-5 The vending machine shown includes a cabinet 1, with a grid vending cabinet 2 on the side of the cabinet 1. The grid vending cabinet 2 has a square structure, and each square can hold different products. Each grid vending cabinet 2 can be sold individually. The cabinet 1 is provided with a display window 3 for displaying the products inside the cabinet 1. In addition, it is also provided with a control panel and other structures. The vending machine and its working principle are common existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0030] Four fixed frames 4 are installed at the bottom of the box body 1, located at the four corners of the bottom. A circular groove is formed at the bottom of each fixed frame 4, and a rotating cylinder 5 is rotatably mounted inside the groove. A movable frame 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating cylinder 5, and rollers 7 are mounted on the movable frame 6. In actual use, the rollers 7 contact the ground, and the box body 1 moves by rolling. Simultaneously, the rotating cylinder 5 rotates on the fixed frames 4, allowing the direction of movement of the box body 1 to be adjusted during movement.

[0031] The rotating drum 5 is equipped with a sliding rod 9 inside, and the top of the moving frame 6 is provided with a through groove for the sliding rod 9 to pass through. The bottom end of the sliding rod 9 is fixedly connected to a brake plate 10. The inner wall of the rotating drum 5 is fixedly connected to a support plate 8, and the sliding rod 9 is slidably mounted on the support plate 8. A spring 11 is fitted on the outside of the sliding rod 9. One end of the spring 11 is fixedly connected to the support plate 8, and the other end of the spring 11 is fixedly connected to the brake plate 10.

[0032] When the slide bar 9 is in a non-compressed state, the elastic support force of the spring 11 supports the brake plate 10, and the brake plate 10 does not contact the roller 7.

[0033] Furthermore, the rotation of the movable frame 6 can drive the slide bar 9, brake plate 10 and other structures to rotate synchronously.

[0034] A pressure plate 12 is slidably installed inside the fixed frame 4, and the pressure plate 12 abuts against the slide rod 9; a reinforcing plate 14 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1, and the reinforcing plate 14 drives the pressure plate 12 to move up and down synchronously through a linkage component. The linkage component includes an L-shaped plate 13, the top end of which is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 12, and the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the reinforcing plate 14.

[0035] After the housing 1 moves to the designated position, the reinforcing plate 14 is controlled to move downward. The reinforcing plate 14 drives the pressure plate 12 to move downward through the L-shaped plate 13. The pressure plate 12 contacts and presses the slide bar 9 to move upward. The brake plate 10 moves downward simultaneously and presses on the roller 7 to realize the braking operation. Compared with the method of braking one by one in the prior art, the operation of braking four rollers 7 at the same time in this utility model is more convenient.

[0036] Meanwhile, the reinforcing plate 14 contacts the ground, expanding the support area and improving the stability of the vending machine.

[0037] When the reinforcing plate 14 moves upward to reset, the pressure plate 12 moves upward synchronously and disengages from the slide bar 9. Under the reset force of the spring 11, the brake plate 10 resets and does not contact the roller 7, thus not affecting the movement of the housing 1.

[0038] This utility model achieves braking operation by setting up structures such as rollers 7, pressure plates 12 and reinforcing plates 14. At the same time, the reinforcing plates 14 contact the ground, expand the support area, and improve the efficiency of the vending machine.

[0039] A protrusion 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the housing 1. A threaded hole is provided on the protrusion 17, and a threaded rod 18 is threadedly connected inside the threaded hole. An ear plate 16 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the reinforcing plate 14, and the bottom end of the threaded rod 18 is rotatably connected to the ear plate 16. When the threaded rod 18 is rotated, it moves up and down on the protrusion 17. Under the limiting action of the pressure plate 12, the fixing frame 4, and other structures, it drives the reinforcing plate 14 to move up and down synchronously, thereby adjusting the height of the reinforcing plate 14.

[0040] Furthermore, the coefficient of friction between the threaded rod 18 and the threaded hole is suitable, and the threaded rod 18 will not rotate arbitrarily; in addition, an electric control mode can be set, such as using an electric push rod.

[0041] The lower surface of the reinforcing plate 14 is provided with anti-slip texture 15 to increase the friction between the reinforcing plate 14 and the ground.

[0042] Considering that if soil or other contaminants on the ground adhere to the roller 7, a scraper 19 is fixedly connected to the brake plate 10 to handle the soil, and the end of the scraper 19 away from the brake plate 10 is inclined downwards; since the end of the scraper 19 away from the brake plate 10 is inclined downwards, when only the end of the scraper 19 away from the brake plate 10 is in contact with the roller 7, the brake plate 10 will not squeeze the roller 7 and will not affect the rotation of the roller 7.

[0043] In actual use, the brake plate 10 is moved downwards, with only the end of the scraper 19 away from the brake plate 10 contacting the roller 7. Then, the housing 1 is pushed, as shown in the reference. Figure 5 The roller 7 rotates counterclockwise, and the scraper 19 can scrape the soil attached to the outside of the roller 7 without the need for external tools.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
