A first baffle and a second baffle are fixedly and slidably disposed above each shelf panel, with each first baffle and second baffle forming a group. A scanning device is slidably mounted on one side surface of each shelf panel, and a scanning plate is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the scanning device. The scanning plate is used to scan the magnetic stripe on the goods. In this utility model, after the user completes payment, the scanning device starts working. When the goods fall, the scanning plate scans the magnetic stripe at the end of the goods. If, after payment, the scanning plate fails to scan the magnetic stripe on the goods within a set time, it indicates that the goods may be stuck. At this time, the user presses a button on the main body of the device, causing the driving device to work, moving the scanning device vertically and pushing the goods to fall smoothly.

[0004] In the aforementioned prior art, during the use of grid vending machines, the baffle typically uses an inward flipping method for retrieving goods. However, this flipping process can easily cause goods to get stuck and become congested, making it difficult to remove the goods. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content
