A vending machine

Abstract

This utility model belongs to the technical field of automatic vending devices and discloses an automatic vending machine. The automatic vending machine includes a support plate, multiple partitions, and multiple stop components. The partitions are spaced apart on the support plate, forming a product channel with a dispensing opening between adjacent partitions. The stop components are correspondingly arranged at the ends of the partitions near the dispensing opening. Each stop component includes a support frame and a flexible stop element. The flexible stop element extends above the product channel and prevents goods in the channel from tipping towards the dispensing opening. When dispensing goods, a pusher pushes the goods in the channel towards the dispensing opening and drives the flexible stop element to deform to avoid the goods. After passing the flexible stop element, the goods are pushed out from the dispensing opening of the channel. The flexible stop element then returns to its original deformed state, ensuring that the goods remain confined in the product channel even when the vending machine tilts forward, thus improving the reliability of the automatic vending machine.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic vending device technology, and in particular to an automatic vending machine. Background Technology

[0002] Vending machines, with their 24 / 7 service, cost-effectiveness, and intelligent management, have become an indispensable solution in modern retail scenarios. Their core advantages include 24-hour operation, low labor and site costs, precise scenario adaptation, and intelligent data analysis, meeting consumers' immediate needs while optimizing operational efficiency for operators.

[0003] A vending machine consists of a cabinet and a product aisle and a receiving box inside the cabinet. The front surface of the cabinet has a dispensing slot. The product aisle stores goods and is formed by two spaced-apart partitions. A dispensing port is located at the front of the aisle, and a pushing mechanism is installed within it. The receiving box is located between the product aisle and the dispensing port. After a user purchases and pays, the vending machine's controller controls the pushing mechanism to move the goods in the product aisle towards the dispensing port, causing the goods to detach from the aisle and fall into the receiving box. The user then retrieves the goods from the receiving box through the dispensing port. However, because vending machines are usually located in public places, when a vending machine tilts forward under external force (such as an earthquake or when the cabinet is maliciously knocked over), goods from dispensing ports adjacent to the product aisle may detach from the aisle, affecting normal sales. If the goods fall into the receiving box, they may be stolen, causing economic loss. Therefore, this type of vending machine has poor reliability.

[0004] Therefore, an automated vending machine is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic vending machine that can prevent goods from falling out of the delivery channel when the vending machine tilts forward, thus avoiding economic losses and having better reliability.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An automatic vending machine includes a support plate, multiple partitions, and multiple stop components. The support plate is horizontally arranged, and the multiple partitions are spaced apart on the support plate, forming a product channel between two adjacent partitions. One end of each product channel has a dispensing port. Each product channel is provided with a pusher for pushing the product in the product channel toward the dispensing port. The multiple stop components are correspondingly arranged on the ends of the multiple partitions near the dispensing port. Each stop component includes a support frame and a flexible stop member. The support frame is fixedly connected to the partition, and the flexible stop member is connected to the support frame and extends above the product channel to prevent the product in the product channel from tipping toward the dispensing port.

[0008] As an optional technical solution, the elastic stop component includes a first elastic component and a second elastic component connected at an angle. Both the first elastic component and the second elastic component are connected to the support frame, and the first elastic component and the second elastic component extend above the cargo channels located on both sides of the partition.

[0009] As an optional technical solution, the gap between the first elastic member and the second elastic member extending above the same cargo channel gradually decreases in the direction of approaching the cargo outlet.

[0010] As an optional technical solution, the support member is provided with a slot, the slot including a first slot and a second slot connected in a "V" shape, the first elastic member is inserted into the first slot from top to bottom, and the second elastic member is inserted into the second slot from top to bottom.

[0011] As an optional technical solution, the support frame includes a plurality of first grooves and a plurality of first protrusions alternately arranged along a V-shaped trajectory, and a plurality of second grooves and a plurality of second protrusions alternately arranged along a V-shaped trajectory. The plurality of first grooves and the plurality of second protrusions are arranged opposite each other in a one-to-one correspondence, and the plurality of second grooves and the plurality of first protrusions are arranged opposite each other in a one-to-one correspondence, and the slot is formed between the plurality of first protrusions and the plurality of second protrusions.

[0012] As an optional technical solution, the first elastic element is provided with a first insertion groove, the second elastic element is provided with a second insertion groove, and the support frame further includes a first insertion part and a second insertion part; along the horizontal direction, the first insertion part is inserted into the first insertion groove, and the second insertion part is inserted into the second insertion groove.

[0013] As an optional technical solution, the elastic stop extends from above the cargo channel into the cargo channel.

[0014] As an optional technical solution, the support frame includes a first connecting part and a second connecting part connected at an angle. The first connecting part is fixedly connected to the partition plate, and the second connecting part is located above the cargo channel. The elastic stop member includes a mounting part and a third elastic member. The mounting part is fixedly connected to the second connecting part, the top of the third elastic member is connected to the mounting part, the third elastic member extends into the cargo channel, and the third elastic member and the support plate are spaced apart.

[0015] As an optional technical solution, the third elastic element gradually approaches the outlet from top to bottom.

[0016] As an optional technical solution, the elastic stop component is a plastic sheet or a spring steel sheet.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] This utility model discloses an automatic vending machine, which includes a support plate, multiple partitions, and multiple stop components. The support plate is horizontally arranged, and the multiple partitions are spaced apart on the support plate, forming a product channel between two adjacent partitions. One end of the product channel has a dispensing port. Each product channel is provided with a pusher for pushing the product in the product channel toward the dispensing port. The multiple stop components are correspondingly arranged on the multiple partitions near the dispensing port. Each stop component includes a support frame and an elastic stop member. The support frame is fixedly connected to the partition, and the elastic stop member is connected to the support frame and extends above the product channel to prevent the product in the product channel from tipping toward the dispensing port.

[0019] This type of vending machine has a stop assembly installed near the dispensing slot on the partition. The stop assembly includes a spring-loaded stop extending above the dispensing channel. When a product is dispensed, a pusher moves the product in the channel towards the dispensing slot. The upper part of the product contacts the spring-loaded stop, causing it to deform and avoid the product. After passing the spring-loaded stop, the product is pushed out of the dispensing slot, and the spring-loaded stop returns to its original deformed state. Because the spring-loaded stop extends above the dispensing channel, when the vending machine is shaken and tilts forward, causing products near the dispensing slot to tip towards the slot, the spring-loaded stop abuts against the upper part of the product and prevents it from tipping out, thus preventing the product from falling out and improving the reliability of the vending machine.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic vending machine, which includes a support plate 10, multiple partitions 20, and multiple stop components 40. The support plate 10 is horizontally arranged, and the multiple partitions 20 are spaced apart on the support plate 10. A product channel 21 is formed between two adjacent partitions 20. One end of the product channel 21 has a dispensing port 22. Each product channel 21 is provided with a pusher 30, which is used to push the product 4 in the product channel 21 toward the dispensing port 22. The multiple stop components 40 are correspondingly arranged at the ends of the multiple partitions 20 near the dispensing port 22. Each stop component 40 includes a support frame 41 and an elastic stop component 42. The support frame 41 is fixedly connected to the partition 20, and the elastic stop component 42 is connected to the support frame 41 and extends above the product channel 21. The elastic stop component 42 is used to prevent the product 4 in the product channel 21 from tipping toward the dispensing port 22.

[0044] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the stop assembly 40 is installed on top of the partition 20, and the elastic stop member 42 extends above the conveyor 21. When the product 4 is output, the pusher 30 pushes the product 4 in the conveyor 21 toward the outlet 22 until the upper part of the product 4 contacts the elastic stop member 42. The pusher 30 continues to apply force to the product 4, which causes the elastic stop member 42 to deform to avoid the product 4. This allows the product 4 to compress the elastic stop member 42 and exit from the outlet 22 of the conveyor 21. After product 4 is output, the elastic stop 42 resets under the action of elastic restoring force and continues to stop the remaining product 4. Since the elastic stop 42 extends above the product channel 21, when the vending machine is shaken and tilts forward, causing product 4 near the dispensing port 22 to tilt towards the dispensing port 22, the elastic stop 42 abuts against product 4 and prevents product 4 from tilting towards the dispensing port 22, thereby preventing product 4 from falling from the dispensing port 22 and improving the reliability of the vending machine.

[0045] Optionally, in this embodiment, the support frame 41 is fixedly connected to the top of the partition 20, thereby allowing the elastic stop member 42 to extend above the product channel 21. Compared to installing the elastic stop member 42 on the side of the partition 20, the stop assembly 40 in this solution is installed on the top of the partition 20 and the elastic stop member 42 extends above the product channel 21, which can avoid the problem of the product 4 being stuck between the elastic stop member 42 and the partition 20, improve the effectiveness of the product 4 output, and thus make the vending machine more reliable.

[0046] Optionally, such as Figure 1As shown, the vending machine also includes a cabinet 1, a cabinet door 2, and a receiving box 3. The aforementioned support plate 10, partition 20, and pusher 30 are all installed inside the cabinet 1. The cabinet 1 has an opening, and the cabinet door 2 is movably connected to the cabinet 1. The cabinet door 2 is used to open and close the opening. When the cabinet door 2 is open, it can replenish the goods to the product channel 21. The cabinet door 2 has a retrieval slot, and the receiving box 3 is fixedly connected to the inside of the cabinet door 2. The pusher 30 pushes the product 4 out of the dispensing port 22 and drops it into the receiving box 3. The user can take the product 4 from the receiving box 3 through the retrieval slot, ensuring the functionality of the vending machine.

[0047] Optionally, in this embodiment, the elastic stop 42 can only extend above the product channel 21. In other embodiments, depending on the actual product 4, the elastic stop 42 can be set to extend above and inside the product channel 21 to be suitable for different specifications of products 4, thereby improving the versatility of the vending machine. This will not be described in detail here.

[0048] Optionally, in this embodiment, the pusher 30 is a push plate that can move a preset distance along the extension direction of the channel 21 under the drive of the drive member. The moving distance of the push plate corresponding to each product 4 is a preset value, which can ensure that the product 4 purchased by the user is pushed into the receiving box 3, while ensuring that the next product 4 is still within the blocking range of the blocking component 40, thereby ensuring the performance of the vending machine.

[0049] Optionally, in this embodiment, the distance between two adjacent partitions 20 can be specifically set according to the width of the actual product 4. When the product 4 in the vending machine has the same size, the distance between two adjacent partitions 20 can be set to a fixed value to improve the storage capacity of the vending machine. When there are products 4 with different sizes in the vending machine, the distance between the multiple partitions 20 on the support plate 10 can be set to different values ​​according to actual use to meet the sales needs of products 4 with different sizes. This will not be described in detail here.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 5As shown, the elastic stop member 42 includes a first elastic member 421 and a second elastic member 422 connected at an angle. Both the first elastic member 421 and the second elastic member 422 are connected to the support frame 41, and the first elastic member 421 and the second elastic member 422 extend above the cargo channels 21 located on both sides of the partition 20. In this embodiment, this arrangement allows the first elastic member 421 and the second elastic member 422 of the two adjacent partitions 20 to extend above the cargo channels 21 from both sides, so that the length of the first elastic member 421 and the second elastic member 422 does not need to be greater than half the width of the cargo channel 21 to effectively block the goods 4. This helps to reduce the force of the goods 4 squeezing the elastic stop member 42, and ensures the effectiveness of delivery when the deformation of the elastic stop member 42 is small.

[0051] Optionally, in this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, both the first elastic member 421 and the second elastic member 422 include horizontal and vertical pieces connected in an L-shape. The horizontal pieces extend horizontally, and the vertical pieces extend vertically. The ends of the two horizontal pieces away from the vertical pieces are connected, and the two horizontal pieces are simultaneously connected to the support frame 41. The two horizontal pieces extend above the two cargo channels 21 located on both sides of the partition 20, and the two vertical pieces extend to the bottom of the two cargo channels 21 located on both sides of the partition 20. This increases the blocking area of ​​the elastic stop member 42 in blocking the goods 4, further improving the storage safety of the goods 4.

[0052] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, both the first elastic element 421 and the second elastic element 422 adopt a sheet-like structure, which facilitates the deformation of the product 4 when it is squeezed by the pusher 30, so as to avoid the product 4 and ensure that the product 4 is shipped out smoothly, thereby improving the performance.

[0053] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, the gap between the first elastic member 421 and the second elastic member 422 extending above the same cargo channel 21 gradually decreases in the direction approaching the outlet 22. In this embodiment, the outlet 22 is located at the front end of the cargo channel 21, and multiple partitions include a first partition 23, a second partition 24, and a third partition 25 spaced apart. The first partition 23 and the second partition 24 are spaced apart to form the first cargo channel 211, and the second partition 24 and the third partition 25 are spaced apart to form the second cargo channel 212. The second elastic member 422 of the stop assembly 40 installed on the first partition 23 and the first elastic member 421 of the stop assembly 40 installed on the second partition 24 extend above the first cargo channel 211, and the second elastic member 422 of the stop assembly 40 installed on the second partition 24 and the first elastic member 421 of the stop assembly 40 installed on the third partition 25 extend above the second cargo channel 212. The distance between the first elastic element 421 and the second elastic element 422 in the first and second product channels 211 and 212 gradually decreases along the direction closer to the outlet 22, so that the shape formed by the first elastic element 421 and the second elastic element 422 is a funnel shape, and the opening of the funnel shape faces the product 4, which makes it easier to clamp the product 4, effectively preventing the product 4 from tipping over when the vending machine is tilted, improving the positional stability of the product 4. This arrangement also makes it easier for the pusher 30 to push the product 4 to squeeze the first elastic element 421 and the second elastic element 422, making it easier for the first elastic element 421 and the second elastic element 422 to be deformed by force, thereby avoiding the product 4 and ensuring that the product 4 is output smoothly, thus improving its performance.

[0054] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the support frame 41 is provided with slots, including a first slot 411 and a second slot 412 connected in a "V" shape. A first elastic member 421 is inserted into the first slot 411 from top to bottom, and a second elastic member 422 is inserted into the second slot 412 from top to bottom. In this embodiment, the support frame 41 is provided with a first slot 411 and a second slot 412 connected in a "V" shape. The first elastic member 421 is inserted into the first slot 411 from top to bottom, and the second elastic member 422 is inserted into the second slot 412 from top to bottom. The first slot 411 can limit the first elastic member 421, and the second slot 412 can limit the second elastic member 422. This arrangement can improve the installation stability of the first elastic member 421 and the second elastic member 422. During the frequent compression deformation and reset process of the first elastic member 421 and the second elastic member 422, it can effectively prevent the first elastic member 421 and the second elastic member 422 from coming out, improve the stability during use, and effectively extend the service life.

[0055] Optionally, the support frame 41 is also provided with two fixing holes whose axis extends horizontally. The first elastic member 421 and the second elastic member 422 are both provided with through holes. The two fasteners are respectively inserted into the two through holes and the two fixing holes. This arrangement facilitates the installation and disassembly of the elastic stop member 42, improves installation efficiency, and ensures the stability of the installation and the performance of the product.

[0056] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the support frame 41 includes a plurality of first grooves 413 and a plurality of first protrusions 414 alternately arranged along a V-shaped trajectory, and a plurality of second grooves 415 and a plurality of second protrusions 416 alternately arranged along a V-shaped trajectory. The plurality of first grooves 413 and the plurality of second protrusions 416 are arranged opposite each other in a one-to-one correspondence, and the plurality of second grooves 415 and the plurality of first protrusions 414 are arranged opposite each other in a one-to-one correspondence, and slots are formed between the plurality of first protrusions 414 and the plurality of second protrusions 416. In this embodiment, multiple first grooves 413 and multiple second protrusions 416 are arranged opposite each other in a one-to-one correspondence, and multiple second grooves 415 and multiple first protrusions 414 are arranged opposite each other in a one-to-one correspondence. This results in the first protrusions 414 and the second protrusions 416 being staggered on both sides of the slot. After the elastic stop member 42 is installed in the slot, the first protrusions 414 and the second protrusions 416 respectively abut against both sides of the elastic stop member 42, thereby improving the installation stability of the elastic stop member 42. Moreover, this arrangement allows the width of the slot in the horizontal direction to be small enough so that the slot can clamp the elastic stop member 42, ensuring the positional stability of the elastic stop member 42.

[0057] Optionally, in this embodiment, the support frame 41 is formed by plastic injection molding, which makes the support frame 41 more consistent, improves the aesthetics of the vending machine, and has low processing costs, thus improving economic efficiency.

[0058] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the first elastic member 421 is provided with a first insertion groove 423, the second elastic member 422 is provided with a second insertion groove 424, and the support frame 41 also includes a first insertion part 417 and a second insertion part 418; along the horizontal direction, the first insertion groove 423 and the first insertion part 417 are inserted into each other, and the second insertion groove 424 and the second insertion part 418 are inserted into each other. In this embodiment, the first insertion part 417 and the second insertion part 418 are respectively fixedly connected to the two second protrusions 416 in a one-to-one correspondence. During the process of installing the elastic stop member 42 into the slot, the first elastic member 421 and the second elastic member 422 are directly inserted into the first slot 411 and the second slot 412 from top to bottom respectively. The deformation of the first elastic member 421 and the second elastic member 422 causes the first insertion groove 423 and the first insertion part 417 to be inserted and engaged in the horizontal direction, and the second insertion groove 424 and the second insertion part 418 to be inserted and engaged in the horizontal direction, thereby completing the connection between the elastic stop member 42 and the support frame 41. The assembly operation is simple and the connection stability is high, which improves the safety performance during use.

[0059] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the first plug-in portion 417 may be fixedly connected to at least two first protrusions 414 or at least two second protrusions 416 therein, and the second plug-in portion 418 may be fixedly connected to at least two first protrusions 414 or at least two second protrusions 416 therein, without limitation.

[0060] Alternatively, in other embodiments, one of the first plug-in portion 417 and the second plug-in portion 418 may be fixedly connected to at least one first protrusion 414, and the other of the first plug-in portion 417 and the second plug-in portion 418 may be fixedly connected to at least one second protrusion 416, without limitation.

[0061] Example 2

[0062] like Figures 8 to 12 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic vending machine. The self-service device includes a support plate 10, a partition 20, a pusher 30, and a stop assembly 40. The difference between this automatic vending machine and the automatic vending machine in Embodiment 1 is that the specific structure of the stop assembly 40 is different.

[0063] In this embodiment, the elastic stop 42 extends from above the cargo channel 21 into the interior of the cargo channel 21.

[0064] Specifically, this design prevents shorter vending machines from tipping over or even falling off the dispensing port 22 when tilting forward, thus improving the versatility and reliability of the vending machine.

[0065] Furthermore, such as Figures 8 to 11As shown, the support frame 41 includes a first connecting portion 419 and a second connecting portion 420 connected at an angle. The first connecting portion 419 is fixedly connected to the partition 20, and the second connecting portion 420 is located above the cargo channel 21. The elastic stop member 42 includes a mounting portion 425 and a third elastic member 426. The mounting portion 425 is fixedly connected to the second connecting portion 420, and the top of the third elastic member 426 is connected to the mounting portion 425. The third elastic member 426 extends into the cargo channel 21, and the third elastic member 426 and the support plate 10 are spaced apart. In this embodiment, the first connecting portion 419 is fixedly connected to the partition 20, which can improve the positional stability of the second connecting portion 420 and the elastic stop member 42 disposed on the second connecting portion 420, ensuring performance. The second connecting part 420 is located above the cargo channel 21. The mounting part 425 and the second connecting part 420 are fixedly connected. The top of the third elastic member 426 is connected to the mounting part 425, thereby ensuring that the third elastic member 426 extends from above the cargo channel 21 into the cargo channel 21. The third elastic member 426 and the support plate 10 are spaced apart, which can avoid the poor output of the goods 4 and the wear of parts caused by friction between the third elastic member 426 and the support plate 10, thus improving the performance.

[0066] Optionally, in this embodiment, the second connecting part 420 is provided with a mounting groove, and the mounting part 425 is embedded in the mounting groove or the mounting part 425 is plugged into the mounting groove, thereby improving the ease of disassembly and assembly.

[0067] Alternatively, in another embodiment, the mounting portion 425 and the second connecting portion 420 are bonded together with adhesive.

[0068] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the third elastic element 426 gradually tilts towards the outlet 22. In this embodiment, this arrangement facilitates the deformation of the third elastic element 426 when the product 4 is output, thereby benefiting the output of the product 4.

[0069] Optionally, in this embodiment, as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the third elastic element 426 is arc-shaped and protrudes towards the outlet 22, thereby providing a better limiting effect on the product 4. When the pusher 30 pushes the product 4, the third elastic element 426 is more easily subjected to force, thus enabling the third elastic element 426 to be pushed more smoothly to deform and avoid the product 4.

[0070] Optionally, in this embodiment, as Figure 12 As shown, the mounting part 425 and the third elastic member 426 are in the shape of a "7".

[0071] Alternatively, in another embodiment, the third elastic member 426 may also adopt a flat plate structure, which is not limited here.

[0072] Furthermore, the spring sheet is either a plastic sheet or a spring steel sheet. In this embodiment, the plastic sheet has high elasticity and low resistance to the product 4, making it more suitable for softer, thinner products 4, such as wet wipes. The spring steel sheet has low elasticity and high resistance to the product 4, making it more suitable for heavier, harder products 4, such as bottled beverages.

[0073] Optionally, in this embodiment, the thickness of the plastic sheet is 0.2mm-0.5mm, and the plastic sheet is made of transparent plastic, so as not to affect the user's observation of the goods 4 located on the cargo channel 21 from the outside, thereby improving the user's experience.
