A wine vending machine with automatic dispensing function

Abstract

This utility model discloses a wine vending machine with an automatic dispensing function, including a vending machine body with a tray on the body. Multiple dispensing pipes are installed through the body, directly above the tray. In use, a decelerated stepper motor drives multiple rotating drums to rotate simultaneously. The spiral grooves engage with the flanges of disposable wine glasses, causing the lowest disposable glass to fall into a C-shaped push plate below. The flange of the second-to-last disposable glass falls onto the top of the trays under gravity. An electric push rod then activates, pushing the disposable glass directly below the dispensing pipes via the C-shaped push plate for easy wine collection. The electric push rod then resets the C-shaped push plate, completing one dispensing operation. This eliminates the need for users to manually collect the wine and prevents unauthorized use of disposable glasses, resulting in a superior user experience.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wine vending machine technology, specifically a wine vending machine with an automatic glass dispensing function. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, more and more innovative products are integrating into our daily lives. Among them, wine vending machines that dispense wine by the glass have become a new trend in the wine market. These machines use advanced metering pumps and sensor technology to precisely control the flow rate and volume of wine, achieving the purpose of dispensing wine by the glass. After the consumer selects the type of wine and the number of glasses, the machine automatically recognizes and calculates the required amount of wine, then accurately pours it into the glass using the metering pump. Simultaneously, the machine monitors and adjusts the wine's temperature in real time to ensure the quality of the wine is not affected.

[0003] However, most wine vending machines currently do not have an automatic dispensing function. The free cups are usually placed separately on the outside of the machine, and users have to take them themselves when purchasing wine. Furthermore, unauthorized personnel can also freely take the cups, which needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wine vending machine with an automatic dispensing function to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
