The first X-axis linear guide 1 and the X-axis linear drive module 2 are arranged vertically opposite each other. The Z-axis linear drive module 3 is movably connected between the first X-axis linear guide 1 and the X-axis linear drive module 2, and can move along the X-axis direction under the action of the X-axis linear drive module 2. The infeed / outfeed mechanism 4 is movably connected to the Z-axis linear drive module 3, and goods are fed and discharged through the infeed / outfeed mechanism 4, which can move along the Z-axis direction under the action of the Z-axis linear drive module 3.

[0020] Specifically, the loading / unloading mechanism 4 includes a movable support 41, a Y-axis receiving component, a pushing component, and a first baffle 44. The Y-axis receiving component is mounted on the movable support 41. The feeding end of the Y-axis receiving component has a feeding port, and the discharging end of the Y-axis receiving component is blocked by the first baffle 44, which is fixedly connected to the movable support 41. Goods enter the vending machine's shelf through the feeding port of the Y-axis receiving component and are intercepted by the first baffle 44. The Y-axis receiving component has a discharging port on one side. The pushing component is mounted on the movable support 41, and the goods on the Y-axis receiving component are discharged from the discharging port under the action of the pushing component.

[0021] The Y-axis receiving assembly includes a first side plate 421, a second side plate 422, several conveyor rollers 423, a belt-driven gear set 424, and a first servo motor 425. The first side plate 421 and the second side plate 422 are arranged on the movable support 41. The several conveyor rollers 423 are rotatably connected between the first side plate 421 and the second side plate 422 along the Y-axis. Several annular washers 426 are sleeved on the several conveyor rollers 423. The first servo motor 425 is arranged on the first side plate 421. The motor shaft of the first servo motor 425 is connected to the several conveyor rollers 423 through the belt-driven gear set 424. A second baffle 427 is integrally formed on the first side plate 421, and the outlet is located on the second side plate 422. The first servo motor 425 drives several conveyor rollers 423 to convey goods in the Y-axis direction via a belt-driven gear set 424. When goods come out of the vending machine's shelf onto the several conveyor rollers 423, they can be suspended on the several conveyor rollers 423 under the support of the annular washer 426.

[0022] Specifically, the pushing assembly includes a second X-axis linear guide 431, a transmission rack 432, a second servo motor 433, a movable block 434, and an L-shaped pusher 435.

The vertical part of the L-shaped pusher 435 is connected to the second servo motor 433 through the movable block 434.

[0023] During operation, the X-axis linear drive module 2 drives the loading and unloading mechanism 4 to move along the X-axis direction, and the Z-axis linear drive module 3 drives the loading and unloading mechanism 4 to move along the Z-axis direction to the goods position on the vending machine's shelf. The goods are received and positioned from the Y-axis direction by several conveyor rollers 423. Then, under the action of the X-axis linear drive module 2 and the Z-axis linear drive module 3, the goods are moved to the vending machine's dispensing port, and pushed out from the several conveyor rollers 423 by the L-shaped pusher block 435.

[0024] In summary, the transfer platform of this three-axis automatic vending machine can achieve independent transmission in the XYZ axes. The mutual cooperation between the three-axis transmissions and the combination of the pushing component can significantly improve the pushing efficiency of goods. Furthermore, since several annular washers 426 are fitted on several conveyor rollers 423 of the loading and unloading mechanism 4, the goods can be suspended on the conveyor rollers 423, thereby reducing the friction between the goods and the conveyor rollers 423 and preventing the goods from getting stuck.

[0025] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
