Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vending machine technology, and in particular to a dispensing device. Background Technology
[0002] Vending machines are commonly used equipment in commercial automation. They are not limited by time or location, save manpower, and facilitate transactions, representing a new form of commercial retail, often referred to as 24-hour mini-supermarkets. Furthermore, with market changes, vending machines have evolved into various styles, including automatic pizza machines (selling items like pizza), automatic lunchbox machines (selling items like boxed meals), automatic fresh produce machines (selling items like fresh produce), and automatic pre-cooked vegetable machines, among others.
[0003] Existing vending machines require a conveying device in the main cabinet to transport products from the storage unit to the dispensing device in the auxiliary cabinet or control cabinet, and then the dispensing device delivers the products to the dispensing port.
[0004] Currently, a trolley is used inside the main cabinet to pick up the product and move it to the interface between the main cabinet and the control cabinet. The trolley gradually moves the product towards the conveyor belt of the shipping device via a conveyor belt. When part of the product is on the conveyor belt of the shipping device, the shipping device moves the product completely into the control cabinet and onto the conveyor belt via the conveyor belt. At this time, the shipping device uses a motor to drive a push rod to push the product out of the shipping port, completing the shipping.
[0005] Although this technical solution can complete the product shipment well, the conveyor belt is usually made of rubber material. When the product is placed on the conveyor belt, it will increase the friction between the two. Therefore, when the push rod pushes the product to move, a large force is required, which puts a high demand on the output power of the motor and thus increases the production cost.
[0006] In addition, due to technological advancements, many vending machines now require products to be delivered completely outside the dispensing slot so that customers can pick them up. However, existing dispensing devices can only deliver products to the dispensing slot. To deliver products completely outside the dispensing slot, the travel distance of the dispensing device needs to be increased. This requires widening the vending machine to accommodate the travel distance of the dispensing device, thus increasing the production cost of the vending machine.
[0007] In view of this, a new technical solution is needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0057] Example
[0058] like Figure 1-9 As shown, the dispensing device, installed in the control cabinet 1 of the vending machine, includes:
[0059] Mounting bracket 2 is installed on the control cabinet 1;
[0060] The first conveying mechanism 3 is installed on the mounting base 2 and has a conveying space 31 for receiving the product 9 from the main cabinet and moving the product 9 completely into the control cabinet 1.
[0061] The second conveying mechanism 4 has a first end installed on the mounting base 2 and a second end extending out of the outlet 11. It is used to receive the product 9 at the first conveying mechanism 3 and send the product 9 to the outlet 11.
[0062] The lifting mechanism 5 is installed on the mounting base 2, and its output end is connected to the first conveying mechanism 3. It is used to drive the first conveying mechanism 3 to lift and lower, so that the second conveying mechanism 4 can enter and exit the conveying space 31.
[0063] The lifting mechanism 5 drives the first conveying mechanism 3 to move up and down. After the first conveying mechanism 3 completes the transfer of product 9, the lifting mechanism 5 drives the first conveying mechanism 3 to move downward, so that product 9 falls to the second conveying mechanism 4. The second conveying mechanism 4 then completely conveys product 9 to the outside of the outlet 11. The structure is simple, does not require increasing the width of the vending machine, and reduces production costs.
[0064] Understandably, when the first conveyor 3 needs to move product 9, the lifting mechanism 5 drives the first conveyor 3 to rise, so that the top of the first conveyor 3 is higher than the top of the second conveyor 4, that is, the height of the conveyor belt 331 is higher than the height of the conveyor belt 424. After the first conveyor 3 completes the movement of product 9, the lifting mechanism 5 drives the first conveyor 3 to fall, so that the top of the first conveyor 3 is lower than the top of the second conveyor 4, that is, the height of the conveyor belt 331 is lower than the height of the conveyor belt 424. The bottom of product 9 is completely in contact with the top of the second conveyor 4, that is, in contact with the conveyor belt 424. The second conveyor 4 then completely conveys product 9 to the outside of the outlet 11.
[0065] In a further specific embodiment, the first conveying mechanism 3 includes:
[0066] Mounting bracket 32 is installed at the output end of the lifting mechanism 5;
[0067] The roller assembly 33 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 32, fitted with a conveyor belt 331, and has the conveying space 31.
[0068] The first drive assembly 34 is mounted on the mounting frame 32, and its output end is connected to the roller assembly 33, which is used to drive the conveyor belt 331 to rotate through the roller assembly 33.
[0069] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 5 drives the roller assembly 33 to rise and fall through the mounting frame 32, so that the second conveying mechanism 4 enters and exits the conveying space 31, thereby ensuring that the first conveying mechanism 3 and the second conveying mechanism 4 do not interfere with each other when conveying the product 9.
[0070] In a further specific embodiment, the mounting frame 32 includes a mounting plate 321, a first support plate 322, and a second support plate 323. The mounting plate 321 is mounted on the output end of the lifting mechanism 5. The first support plate 322 and the second support plate 323 are respectively mounted on both ends of the mounting plate 321. The two ends of the roller assembly 33 are rotatably mounted on the inner sides of the first support plate 322 and the second support plate 323, respectively. This arrangement has a simple structure, is easy to install, can better support the roller assembly 33, and has strong stability.
[0071] In a further specific embodiment, the roller assembly 33 includes: multiple first rollers 332 located at the upper end of the mounting frame 32, multiple second rollers 333 located at the lower end of the mounting frame 32, and multiple third rollers 334. The conveyor belt 331 is sleeved on the first rollers 332, the second rollers 333, and the third rollers 334. The first rollers 332 and the second rollers 333 are respectively located inside the conveyor belt 331, and the third rollers 334 are located outside the conveyor belt 331. The conveyor belt 331, the third rollers 334, and two adjacent first rollers 332 form the conveying space 31. The first support plate 322 and the second support plate 323 are respectively provided with multiple mounting holes 711 for mounting the first rollers 332, the second rollers 333, and the third rollers 334.
[0072] It is understood that the number of conveying spaces 31 in this embodiment is the same as the number of third rollers 334. Although the number of conveying spaces 31 is not specified, the number of third rollers 334 and conveying spaces 31 can be increased or decreased according to actual needs.
[0073] The third roller 334 is positioned outside the first conveyor belt 331 and at a lower height than the first roller 332, allowing the conveying space 31 to be formed. It is understood that the diameter of the third roller 334 is greater than the width of the conveyor belt 424, and the distance from the bottom of the third roller 334 to the top of the conveyor belt 331 is greater than the distance from the bottom of the support member 425 to the top of the conveyor belt 424. This ensures that the conveying space 31 can fully accommodate the conveyor belt 424, preventing the conveyor belt 424 from contacting and interfering with the conveyor belt 331 when conveying the product 9 if the conveying space 31 is too small.
[0074] In a further specific embodiment, the first drive assembly 34 includes a first drive motor 341, a first synchronous pulley 342, a second synchronous pulley 343, and a first synchronous belt 344. The first drive motor 341 is mounted on the mounting plate 321, the first synchronous pulley 342 is mounted on the output end of the first drive motor 341, the second synchronous pulley 343 is mounted on the input end of the roller assembly 33, and the first synchronous belt 344 is sleeved on the first synchronous pulley 342 and the second synchronous pulley 343.
[0075] The first drive motor 341 converts electrical energy into rotational mechanical energy to drive the first synchronous pulley 342 to rotate. The first synchronous pulley 342 drives the second synchronous pulley 343 to rotate through the first synchronous belt 344. The second synchronous pulley 343 drives the conveyor belt 331 to rotate around the roller assembly 33 through the roller assembly 33, thereby driving the product 9 to move on the conveyor belt 331.
[0076] It should be noted that the input end of the roller group 33 is a first roller 332, and the first roller 332 is rubber-coated to increase the friction between it and the conveyor belt 331, so that the first roller 332 can drive the product 9 to move through the conveyor belt 331.
[0077] In a further specific embodiment, the system also includes an adjusting roller 6 and two adjusting components 7 respectively mounted on both sides of the mounting frame 32. The two ends of the adjusting roller 6 are respectively mounted on the two inner sides of the mounting frame 32. Adjusting grooves 324 are respectively opened on both sides of the mounting frame 32. It should be noted that the adjusting grooves 324 are opened on the first support plate 322 and the second support plate 323. The adjusting component 7 includes an adjusting block 71, which is mounted on the adjusting groove 324. The adjusting block 71 has a mounting hole 711 for mounting the adjusting roller 6. The top of the adjusting block 71 extends outward to form an adjusting portion 712, which has an adjusting hole 7121. The top of the adjusting groove 324 extends outward to form a fixing block 72, on which an adjusting member 721 is mounted. The second end of the adjusting member 721 passes through the fixing block 72 and is screwed to the adjusting portion 712 through the adjusting hole 7121. As a preferred embodiment, the adjusting member 721 in this embodiment is an adjusting bolt.
[0078] By adjusting the position of the adjusting roller 6 through the adjusting component 7, the tension of the conveyor belt 331 can be adjusted. It should be noted that the adjusting roller 6 is located on the outer side of the conveyor belt 331. When tightening the conveyor belt 331, twisting the adjusting component 721 causes the adjusting block 71 to move the adjusting roller 6 upwards. When loosening the conveyor belt 331, twisting the adjusting component 721 causes the adjusting block 71 to move the adjusting roller 6 downwards. It can be understood that when the adjusting roller 6 is located on the inner side of the conveyor belt 331, the adjustment method is the opposite.
[0079] In a further specific embodiment, the adjustment component 7 further includes a limiting block 73, the middle part of which is connected to the adjustment block 71. The two ends of the limiting block 73 are respectively provided with waist-shaped holes 731. A fixing member 732 is installed in the waist-shaped hole 731, and the fixing member 732 passes through the waist-shaped hole 731 and is connected to the mounting bracket 32.
[0080] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the oblong hole 731 is perpendicular to the ground. When installing the adjusting roller 6, the limiting block 73 can be fixed to the mounting frame 32 after selecting the correct position. When adjusting the height of the adjusting roller 6, first loosen the fixing member 732 so that the adjusting member 721 can drive the adjusting block 71 to move up and down within the adjusting groove 324, thereby driving the limiting block 73 to move up and down on the fixing member 732 through the oblong hole 731. After adjusting the height of the adjusting roller 6, tighten the fixing member 732 to fix the limiting block 73 to the mounting frame 32. This setup has a simple structure, is easy to install, and has a good fixing effect.
[0081] In a further specific embodiment, a guide assembly 8 is also included, which includes a guide shaft 81 and a linear bearing 82. The lifting mechanism 5 includes a lifting motor 51 and a fixing plate 52. The fixing plate 52 is installed at the bottom of the mounting base 2, and the lifting motor 51 is installed on the fixing plate 52. The mounting base 2 has a lifting space 23 for the first conveying mechanism 3 to be lifted and lowered. The fixing plate 52 has a through slot, and a motor base is installed at the bottom of the fixing plate 52. The lifting motor 51 is installed on the motor base, and the output end of the lifting motor 51 passes through the through slot and is connected to the bottom of the first conveying mechanism 3.
[0082] The linear bearing 82 is mounted on the fixed plate 52, the first end of the guide shaft 81 is mounted on the first conveying mechanism 3, and the second end of the guide shaft 81 passes through the linear bearing 82.
[0083] It is understood that the first end of the guide shaft 81 is mounted on the bottom of the mounting plate 321.
[0084] By setting the guide component 8, the mounting base 2 can move relatively linearly up and down along the linear bearing 82 accurately and stably through the guide shaft 81, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the movement and reducing the force required for the lifting mechanism 5 to push the first conveying mechanism 3.
[0085] In a further specific embodiment, the second conveying mechanism 4 includes:
[0086] The transmission seat 41 has its first end mounted on the mounting seat 2 and its second end extending out of the outlet 11; this configuration enables the product 9 to be completely transported to the outlet 11 via the conveyor belt 424.
[0087] The transmission assembly 42 has a first end mounted on the mounting base 2 and a second end mounted on the second end of the transmission base 41, and is used to transport the product 9 located at the first end to the second end;
[0088] The second drive component 43 is installed on the mounting base 2, and its output end is connected to the input end of the transmission component 42. It is used to drive the transmission component 42 to transport the product 9 located at its first end to the second end.
[0089] It should be noted that the second drive assembly 43 in this embodiment includes a second drive motor 431, a third synchronous pulley 432, a fourth synchronous pulley 433, and a second synchronous belt 434. The second drive motor 431 is mounted on the mounting plate 321, the third synchronous pulley 432 is mounted on the output end of the second drive motor 431, the fourth synchronous pulley 433 is mounted on the input end of the transmission shaft 421, and the second synchronous belt 434 is sleeved on the third synchronous pulley 432 and the fourth synchronous pulley 433.
[0090] The second drive motor 431 converts electrical energy into rotational mechanical energy to drive the third synchronous pulley 432 to rotate. The third synchronous pulley 432 drives the fourth synchronous pulley 433 to rotate via the second synchronous belt 434. The fourth synchronous pulley 433 drives multiple conveyor belts 424 to move between the second and third transmission shafts via the drive shaft 421, thereby driving the product 9 to move on the conveyor belt 331.
[0091] In a further specific embodiment, the transmission assembly 42 includes a transmission shaft 421, multiple first transmission wheels 422, multiple second transmission wheels 423, multiple transmission belts 424, and multiple support members 425. The multiple first transmission wheels 422 are respectively installed on the transmission shaft 421, and each transmission belt 424 is sleeved on a first transmission wheel 422 and a second transmission wheel 423. Each second transmission wheel 423 is installed on a support member 425, and each support member 425 is respectively disposed between a first transmission wheel 422, a second transmission wheel 423, and a transmission belt 424. The mounting base 2 is equipped with a fixed base 21, and the support member 425 is installed on the support base 22. The transmission belt 424 and the support member 425 respectively pass through the conveying space 31.
[0092] The second drive assembly 43 drives the conveyor belt 424 to rotate on the first drive wheel 422 and the second drive wheel 423, thereby completing the movement of the product 9.
[0093] The transmission assembly 42 is suspended by the fixed base 21 and the support base 22 to facilitate the movement of the product 9. The support member 425 supports the transmission belt and the product 9, preventing the product 9 from being pressed against the transmission belt 424 and hindering its movement.
[0094] It should be noted that the dispensing device in this embodiment can be applied to vending machines such as automatic pizza machines, automatic boxed meal machines, automatic fresh food machines, and automatic pre-prepared vegetable machines.
[0095] It should be emphasized that some restaurants currently use robots to pick up dishes, so it is even more necessary to completely transport product 9 to the outlet 11 so that the robot can pick up the dishes.
