Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laser spherical engraving technology, specifically to an automatic vending device for laser spherical engraving products. Background Technology

[0002] Laser engraving technology uses pulsed high-intensity lasers to focus on the interior of transparent materials, creating micron-level vaporization and burst points. These points are then arranged into a three-dimensional image under computer control. It is suitable for transparent materials such as glass, crystal, and acrylic, and is especially suitable for irregularly shaped workpieces such as spheres.

[0003] Currently, most sales are conducted through manually guarded stores, which results in high operating costs and large floor space requirements, further increasing the sales expenses. Therefore, we need to design a device that can automatically sell laser-engraved spherical products. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the problems of high operating costs and personnel training costs of the current traditional sales methods.

[0005] The present invention is as follows: an automatic vending device for laser spherical engraving products, including a vending cabinet, lockable casters connected to the bottom of the vending cabinet, a fan fixedly connected to the inside of the vending cabinet, a control panel connected to the front of the vending cabinet, a shelf connected to the inside of the vending cabinet, and a transmission device connected to the left side of the vending cabinet.

[0006] The vending machine includes a cabinet body, a retrieval box on the front of the cabinet body, a storage box on the front of the cabinet body, a fan duct on the side of the cabinet body, an air inlet on the front of the cabinet body, an air outlet on the right side of the storage box, shock-absorbing cotton connected to the top of the retrieval box, a hinge fixedly connected to the front of the cabinet body, and a replacement door and a retrieval door fixedly connected to the front of the cabinet body via the hinge.

[0007] The shelf includes a base plate, a side plate fixedly connected to the top surface of the base plate, a rotating shaft fixedly connected to the rear side of the storage box, a spiral frame fixedly connected to the front of the rotating shaft, a ramp fixedly connected to the front of the base plate, a front baffle fixedly connected to the ramp, and a light fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the base plate.

[0008] The transmission device includes a transmission channel, a spiral blade connected to the inner side of the transmission channel, a rotating rod fixedly connected to the inner side of the spiral blade, and a motor fixedly connected to the top side of the transmission channel.

[0009] Preferably, the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor.

[0010] Preferably, the lighting fixture is an LED lighting fixture.

[0011] Preferably, the inner side of the control panel is provided with a system processing module, a payment module, a network communication module, and an information publishing module.

[0012] Preferably, the base plate has a structure that is lower in the front and higher in the back.

[0013] Preferably, the top surface of the shock-absorbing cotton is provided with a deceleration strip.

[0014] Preferably, the landslide has a structure that is lower on the right and higher on the left.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an automatic vending device for laser spherical engraving products, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This utility model achieves automatic replenishment of missing goods by using the inclined design of the shelf inside the vending cabinet and the rotation of the spiral frame and the shaft. The shelf has a compact structure and high space utilization. The transmission device adopts a spiral plate structure and is driven by a motor to ensure that fragile carved items fall smoothly. The shock-absorbing cotton and deceleration strip design on the top of the retrieval box effectively reduces the impact of rolling products and reduces the risk of breakage.

[0017] 2. This utility model integrates payment, communication and information publishing modules through the control panel, allowing users to independently complete the product selection, payment and pickup process without manual supervision, greatly reducing operating costs. The shelf is equipped with LED lighting, making it easy for users to clearly observe the details of the engraving process. Lockable casters give the equipment mobility and make it easy to deploy in different scenarios while avoiding product damage during movement. Attached Figure Description
