[0022] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0023] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes an embodiment of the present invention of an intelligent vending machine with cargo identification and anti-theft features.

[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a smart vending machine with cargo identification and anti-theft features, comprising: a vending machine 1 and an anti-lock mechanism 6.

[0025] The anti-closing mechanism 6 includes a cabinet door 61, a door handle 62, a pressing block 63, a light spring 64, a fixing plate 65, and a locking block 66.

[0026] The cabinet door 61 is located on the outer wall of the container 1, the door handle 62 is fixed on the outer wall of the cabinet door 61, the pressing block 63 is located inside the door handle 62, the light spring 64 is located on the inner wall of the pressing block 63, the fixing plate 65 is fixed on the inner wall of the door handle 62, the locking block 66 is connected to the pressing block 63, and the inner wall of the container 1 is provided with a locking groove 67.

[0027] Specifically, when a consumer needs to open the cabinet door 61 to shop, they first press the pressing block 63 inside the door handle 62. After the pressing block 63 is under pressure, it moves inward, which in turn moves the locking block 66 inward. At this time, the light spring 64 is compressed. Once the locking block 66 disengages from the slot 67 on the inner wall of the vending machine 1, the vending machine door 61 can be easily opened for shopping. If the vending machine door 61 accidentally moves closer to the vending machine 1 and may close during shopping, the locking block 66 will abut against the inner wall of the vending machine 1, preventing the door 61 from closing completely. This avoids the problem of the smart vending machine 1 locking inside and processing the transaction due to the door 61 closing accidentally, providing great convenience to consumers. When it is necessary to close the vending machine door 61, press the pressing block 63 inside the door handle 62 again and close the door towards the vending machine 1. After releasing the handle, the light spring 64 releases its elasticity, pushing the pressing block 63 and the locking block 66 outward until the locking block 66 is engaged in the slot 67 on the inner wall of the vending machine 1, thus achieving a stable closure of the vending machine door 61.

[0028] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the container 1 is equipped with a protective mechanism 7 inside.

[0029] The protective mechanism 7 includes a sliding plate 71, a slide rail 74, a fixed rail 76, a damping spring 77, a buffer block 78, and a locking element 79.

[0030] The slide plate 71 is installed inside the container 1, the slide rail 74 is installed on the outer wall of the slide plate 71, the outer wall of the slide rail 74 is provided with a locking groove 75, the fixed rail 76 is installed on the inner wall of the container 1, the damping spring 77 is installed inside the fixed rail 76, and the buffer block 78 is connected to the other end of the damping spring 77.

[0031] The skateboard 71 is equipped with a fall protection frame 72 and a fixing block 73.

[0032] Specifically, when replenishing container 1, the slide plate 71 is first slid outwards along the slide rail 74 on the fixed rail 76 until the locking element 79 disengages from the locking groove 75. At this point, the damping spring 77 is relaxed. Then, the goods are placed on the slide plate 71. After replenishment, the slide plate 71 is pushed towards container 1, contacting the buffer block 78 and compressing the damping spring 77 until the locking element 79 engages in the locking groove 75, thus securing the slide plate 71 firmly. This design not only facilitates the replenishment of goods but also protects the goods from impact during transportation through the buffering effect of the damping spring 77, improving overall stability and safety.

[0033] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, a display screen 2 is installed on the outer wall of container 1.

[0034] Understandably, display screen 2 can show product information, inventory status, prices, etc. in smart vending machine 1, making it convenient for consumers to view and select the products they need.

[0035] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, a payment screen 3 is installed on the outer wall of container 1.

[0036] Understandably, payment screen 3 allows consumers to scan codes for payment, simplifying the shopping process and improving efficiency. After selecting their items, consumers simply complete the payment on payment screen 3, and the smart vending machine 1 automatically unlocks, making it convenient for them to retrieve their goods.

[0037] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, a cooling fan 4 is installed inside container 1.

[0038] Understandably, the cooling fan 4 is installed to dissipate heat from the items inside the container 1, preventing damage or spoilage due to excessive temperature. The cooling fan 4 continuously circulates air to expel heat from inside the container 1, maintaining a suitable temperature and providing a good storage environment for the stored items.

[0039] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the outer wall of container 1 is provided with ventilation holes 5.

[0040] Understandably, the ventilation holes 5 are designed to work in conjunction with the cooling fan 4 to quickly dissipate heat from inside the container 1, while ensuring airflow within the container 1 to further enhance heat dissipation. The ventilation holes 5 are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the container 1, ensuring uniform and efficient heat dissipation.

[0041] Working Principle: After a consumer browses and selects desired items via display screen 2, the system inside smart vending machine 1 automatically calculates the amount due based on the consumer's selections and displays it on payment screen 3. The consumer simply scans the QR code on payment screen 3 to complete the payment via mobile payment or other methods, and the system inside smart vending machine 1 receives a payment success signal. At this time, the locking mechanism 6's latch 66 automatically unlocks under the push of a light spring 64, allowing the consumer to easily open the cabinet door 61 and retrieve the selected items. Throughout the shopping process, smart vending machine 1 uses its built-in sensors, cameras, and other sensing technologies to monitor and record the consumer's shopping behavior in real time, ensuring the accuracy of product identification and the effectiveness of the anti-theft function. When the consumer needs to open the cabinet door 61 to shop, they first press the pressing block 63 inside the door handle 62. The pressing block 63 moves inward under pressure, simultaneously moving the latch 66 inward, at which point the light spring 64 is compressed. Once the locking block 66 disengages from the slot 67 on the inner wall of the vending machine 1, the door 61 can be easily opened for shopping. If the door 61 accidentally moves closer to the vending machine 1 and may close during shopping, the locking block 66 will abut against the inner wall of the vending machine 1, preventing the door 61 from closing completely. This avoids the vending machine 1 locking itself and processing the transaction due to the door 61 accidentally closing, providing great convenience to consumers. To close the door 61, press the push block 63 inside the door handle 62 again and close the door towards the vending machine 1. Releasing the handle releases the spring 64, pushing the push block 63 back into place. The door 61 is securely closed when the locking block 66 moves outward until it engages with the slot 67 on the inner wall of the container 1. When restocking the container 1, the sliding plate 71 is first slid outward along the slide rail 74 on the fixed rail 76 until the locking element 79 disengages from the locking groove 75. At this point, the damping spring 77 is relaxed. Goods are then placed on the sliding plate 71. After restocking, the sliding plate 71 is pushed towards the container 1, contacting the buffer block 78 and compressing the damping spring 77 until the locking element 79 engages with the locking groove 75, thus securing the sliding plate 71 securely. This design not only facilitates the restocking of goods but also protects the goods from impact during transportation through the buffering effect of the damping spring 77, improving overall stability and safety.

[0042] In summary, the intelligent vending machine with cargo identification and anti-theft features of this utility model effectively solves the inconvenience caused by the accidental closure of the cabinet door 61 during the use of traditional intelligent vending machines 1, as well as the impact and damage that goods may suffer during replenishment and transportation, by setting up the anti-closing mechanism 6 and the protective mechanism 7.
