Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an automatic vending machine for car care products includes a machine body 1. Inside the machine body 1 are a main control board 2, power supply components 3, and multiple dispensing conveyors 4 arranged from top to bottom. Each dispensing conveyor 4 has multiple product storage slots for placing products. A touchscreen 5 is located on the front of the machine body 1, allowing users to select desired products or customize products. The bottom of the machine body 1 has electrically controlled lifting support legs 6, and a tilt sensor 7 is located inside the machine body 1. The lifting support legs 6, tilt sensor 7, and touchscreen 5 are all electrically connected to the main control board 2.
[0025] The lifting support leg 6 includes a fixed tube 61, a movable tube 62, a lifting motor 63, a lead screw 64, and a lead screw nut 65. The fixed tube 61 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the machine body 1. The movable tube 62 is sleeved inside the fixed tube 61. The lifting motor 63 is located inside the machine body 1. The lead screw 64 is located inside the movable tube 62, with one end passing through the machine body 1 and connected to the lifting motor 63. The lead screw nut 65 is fixedly connected inside the movable tube 62, and the lead screw 64 is connected to the lead screw nut 65. Both the fixed tube 61 and the movable tube 62 are square tubes. The lifting motor 63 drives the lead screw 64 to rotate, the lead screw 64 drives the lead screw nut 65 to move up and down along the lead screw 64, and the lead screw nut 65 drives the movable tube 62 to rise and fall.
[0026] A lifting platform 8 is provided at the bottom of the machine body 1. A hydraulic rod 81 is provided between the lifting platform 8 and the machine body 1. Rollers 82 are provided at the bottom of the lifting platform 8. When the lifting platform 8 is lowered to the lowest point, the lifting support leg 6 leaves the ground. When the equipment needs to be moved, the lifting platform 8 can be lowered by controlling the hydraulic rod 81 to lift it off the ground, and then the rollers 82 can be pushed to easily move the equipment.
[0027] A pair of guide rods 83 are provided on each side of the top surface of the lifting platform 8. The guide rods 83 are slidably connected to the machine body 1, and the part of the guide rod 83 located inside the machine body 1 is fitted with a return spring 84. The guide rods 83 serve two purposes: firstly, to guide the movement and make the lifting platform 8 more balanced; secondly, to withstand a certain shearing force during movement and prevent damage to the hydraulic rod 81.
[0028] The shipping conveyor 4 includes a drive roller 41, a driven roller 42, and an annular conveyor belt 43. The annular conveyor belt 43 is fitted over the drive roller 41 and the driven roller 42. Multiple fixed positions 44 are provided circumferentially on the annular conveyor belt 43. Partitions 45 are detachably connected to each fixed position 44, and the gap between two partitions 45 forms a cargo storage slot. The detachable partitions 45 are designed for easy adjustment of their spacing to accommodate different types of vehicle cargo. Specifically, the multiple fixed positions 44 are evenly spaced, and each fixed position 44 is a mounting bracket. The bottom of each partition 45 has a buckle that engages with the mounting bracket.
[0029] Each shipping conveyor 4 has an infrared sensor 9 mounted on one side of its body 1. The infrared sensor 9 is positioned directly opposite the second closest cargo storage slot to the output end of the shipping conveyor 4, and is connected to the main control board 2. Thus, when the infrared sensor 9 detects that the cargo storage slot it is facing is empty, the main control board 2 can send a notification to the administrator indicating that such cargo is out of stock, reminding the administrator to replenish the stock in a timely manner.
[0030] The machine body 1 has a vertical shipping channel 11 inside, and an inclined unloading plate 12 and a shipping outlet 13 on one side of the bottom of the machine body 1. When a user purchases goods, the corresponding circular conveyor belt 43 rotates, moving the goods towards the shipping channel 11, then dropping them from the shipping channel 11, and then rolling them along the unloading plate 12 towards the shipping outlet 13. Finally, the user takes the goods out of the shipping channel.
[0031] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. However, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
