Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in this embodiment, a vending robot includes a cart support 1. Chimney pipes 2 are provided on both sides of the front end of the cart support 1. A first display screen 3 is provided between the two chimney pipes 2. A swing gear 4 is installed on the side of the first display screen 3. A vertical movement kit 5 is slidably connected to the middle of the chimney pipes 2. A locking spring 6 is installed inside the vertical movement kit 5. A clip 7 is connected to the locking spring 6 and is engaged with the swing gear 4. The first display screen 3 rotates on the vertical movement kit 5. A carriage 8 is fixed to the rear end of the cart support 1. An upper box 9 and a lower box 10 are provided on the carriage 8. An upper box door 11 is provided on one side of the upper box 9 and a lower box door 12 is provided on one side of the lower box 10. A second display screen 13 is installed on the rear side of the upper box 9.

[0024] Goods delivered from the side opening of the vending machine are layered into the upper compartment 9 and the lower compartment 10 according to the customer and the type of goods. The trolley bracket 1 moves the goods to the customer. The customer can open the corresponding compartment and take out the goods by scanning the QR code on the first display screen 3 with an electronic device. The first display screen 3 can be adjusted in orientation by the vertical movement kit 5. The locking spring 6 controls the clip 7 to lock upward into the tooth position of the swing gear 4 to fix the first display screen 3. The second display screen 13 plays advertisements, animations, or even instructions to improve the user experience. In addition, the vertical movement kit 5 can control and adjust the height of the first display screen 3.

[0025] The interior of the carriage 8 is equipped with a door hinge 14. The upper end of the door hinge 14 is connected to a first curved arm 15. The upper door 11 is fixed with an upper slat 16. The end of the first curved arm 15 is hinged to the upper slat 16. The lower end of the door hinge 14 is connected to a second curved arm 17. The lower door 12 is fixed with a lower slat 18. The end of the second curved arm 17 is hinged to the lower slat 18. Under the action of the door hinge 14, the first curved arm 15 and the second curved arm 17 respectively control the upper slat 16 and the lower slat 18 to swing, thereby driving the opening and closing of the upper door 11 and the lower door 12.

[0026] Both the upper slat 16 and the lower slat 18 have protrusions 19 formed on them, and both the side of the upper box 9 and the side of the lower box 10 have recesses formed on them. The protrusions are inserted into the recesses. When the upper box door 11 and the lower box door 12 are closed, in order to ensure the closed state, the protrusions 19 and the recesses are sensed when they are combined, and the vending robot can move.

[0027] LED lights are installed inside the chimney pipe 2. A control module 20 is installed at the lower end of the trolley bracket 1. The control module 20 controls the LED lights, the first display screen 3, and the second display screen 13.
