Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vending machine technology, specifically a vending machine with a lifting device and a grid push rod. Background Technology

[0002] Push-rod vending machines are a mainstream improved version of grid vending machines. Their core feature is the integration of an electric push rod and push plate feeding mechanism into the traditional independent storage compartment. The motor-driven push plate slides along the length of the storage compartment, pushing the product from the compartment to the dispensing end, eliminating the need for users to manually reach into the compartment to retrieve items. This effectively solves the pain point of inconvenient retrieval from deep storage compartments. These vending machines, with their simple structure, low maintenance costs, and intuitive product display, are widely used in office buildings, community convenience stores, subway stations, and campuses, primarily for selling standardized packaged goods such as snacks, beverages, daily necessities, and cosmetic samples.

[0003] In the actual application of existing push-rod vending machines, some models place the dispensing port at a lower position on the cabinet in order to simplify the structure or reduce costs. Although this design can reduce the height from which goods fall and reduce the risk of damage, it has caused new problems with the convenience of picking up goods: for adult users who are standing, they need to bend over or even squat down when picking up goods. Especially for special groups such as the elderly and patients with lumbar spine diseases, bending over to pick up goods poses a risk of falling, and the process of standing up requires additional support, making the operation extremely inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vending machine with a grid push rod integrated with a lifting device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] In view of the above problems, the technical solution proposed by this utility model is as follows: A vending machine with a lifting device and integrated push rod includes an outer casing. The outer casing has a first cavity and a second cavity, which are connected. Several shelves are installed in the first cavity. Several dispensing slots are opened on the front of the outer casing, and the shelves and dispensing slots are arranged vertically. A collection seat slides vertically within the first cavity and also slides within the second cavity. The top surface of the collection seat is inclined, and the inclined surface slopes towards the second cavity. A driving component is installed inside the outer casing to drive the collection seat to move. A door is connected to the first cavity via a hinge. A baffle is rotatably connected to the dispensing slot via a torsion spring. A control panel is also embedded on the surface of the outer casing. The first and second cavities of the outer casing are connected, cooperating with the vertically arranged shelves and dispensing slots. This design allows for layered storage of goods on the shelves, meeting the display needs of various product categories. The collection seat can slide vertically within the first and second cavities, with its top surface inclined towards the second cavity. In conjunction with the drive mechanism, it collects goods pushed out of the shelves, and the drive mechanism raises and lowers the collection seat to a suitable height. The inclined surface then guides the goods towards the second cavity, facilitating retrieval from the corresponding height by the user. The baffle inside the retrieval port is connected by a torsion spring and automatically resets after the goods are removed, preventing dust from entering the equipment. It also works with the outer casing door, allowing staff to easily open the first cavity for restocking and maintenance. The control panel is embedded in the outer casing surface and works with the drive mechanism, allowing users to control the drive mechanism and adjust the height of the collection seat to meet the retrieval needs of users of different heights and improve operational convenience.

[0006] Furthermore, the outer casing has an internal groove that communicates with the first cavity. The driving component includes a threaded rod that rotates within the first cavity. A slider is threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod. The slider slides within the groove and is connected to the collection seat. A power component is also installed inside the outer casing. This power component drives the threaded rod to rotate. The groove inside the outer casing communicates with the first cavity. The threaded rod is rotatably installed within the first cavity, and its outer side is threadedly engaged with the slider. The slider is connected to the collection seat and can slide within the groove. In conjunction with the power component, when the power component drives the threaded rod to rotate, the slider can be smoothly moved along the groove via threaded transmission, thereby causing the collection seat to rise and fall vertically. The groove guides and limits the slider, preventing it from deviating during sliding and ensuring the stability of the collection seat during lifting. This makes it less likely for goods to fall off the collection seat. At the same time, the threaded transmission method can precisely control the slider's movement distance, thereby precisely adjusting the lifting height of the collection seat and improving the accuracy and convenience of the user's retrieval.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer casing has an internal slot. The power component includes a rotating shaft and a connecting shaft rotatably mounted in the slot. A driven bevel gear and a driving bevel gear are respectively mounted on the outer sides of the rotating shaft and the connecting shaft. The driven bevel gear and the driving bevel gear mesh. A motor is also installed in the slot. The output end of the motor is connected to the connecting shaft. The rotating shaft and the threaded rod are coaxially connected. The slot inside the outer casing provides installation space for the power component. The motor is installed in the slot, and its output end is connected to the connecting shaft. The driving bevel gear on the outer side of the connecting shaft meshes with the driven bevel gear on the outer side of the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft and the threaded rod are coaxially connected. When the motor is working, it can drive the driving bevel gear to rotate through the connecting shaft. The driving bevel gear drives the meshing driven bevel gear and the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby driving the threaded rod to rotate. The bevel gear transmission can change the direction of power transmission, adapting to the installation position of the motor and the threaded rod, making the internal structure layout of the equipment more reasonable. At the same time, the motor provides stable power output, ensuring the stability of the rotation of the threaded rod, thereby ensuring the smoothness and reliability of the lifting of the collection seat.

[0008] Furthermore, both ends of the slide groove are provided with grooves, and a roller is rotatably connected to each groove via a coil spring. A dustproof strip is wound around the outside of the roller, and the free end of the dustproof strip is connected to the slider. The grooves at both ends of the slide groove provide installation space for the roller. The roller is rotatably connected to the groove via a coil spring, and the free end of the dustproof strip wound around its outside is connected to the slider. When the slider slides along the slide groove, it pulls the dustproof strip in one side of the groove to unfold, while the roller in the other side of the groove retracts the dustproof strip under the action of the coil spring. The dustproof strip can always cover the opening of the slide groove, preventing dust and debris from entering the slide groove and preventing dust from affecting the threaded transmission between the slider and the threaded rod, ensuring the smooth sliding of the slider, and extending the service life of the drive component. At the same time, the elasticity of the coil spring can keep the dustproof strip in a taut state, ensuring the dustproof effect.

[0009] Furthermore, the dustproof belt and the slide groove are of the same width, so that the dustproof belt can completely cover the opening width of the slide groove, preventing dust from entering from the side gaps of the slide groove due to insufficient width of the dustproof belt, further improving the dustproof effect, ensuring the cleanliness of the inside of the slide groove, ensuring that the transmission between the slider and the threaded rod is not interfered with by dust, and maintaining the stability and reliability of the drive component.

[0010] Furthermore, a baffle is installed near the surface of the outer box at the loading port. The inner side of the baffle can abut against the outer side of the baffle. The baffle near the surface of the outer box cooperates with the baffle that is rotatably connected by a torsion spring. The baffle can limit the movement of the baffle and prevent the baffle from rotating outward under the pressure of the goods, thereby preventing the goods from leaking out.

[0011] Furthermore, both the baffle and the door are transparent panels, allowing users to observe the position and status of the goods inside through the baffle at the retrieval port, making it easier to quickly find and retrieve the goods and improving retrieval efficiency. The door is also transparent, allowing staff to directly observe the stock of goods on the shelves inside the first cavity without opening the door, thus simplifying the restocking process and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This integrated vending machine with a grid push rod and lifting device, in cooperation with the drive component, power component, connecting shaft, active bevel gear, and driven bevel gear in the outer casing, can drive the collection seat to rise and fall vertically in the first and second cavities. Users can adjust the collection seat to a comfortable picking height through the control panel without bending over or squatting. The inclined surface of the collection seat can guide the goods to move into the second cavity. Combined with the vertically arranged picking slots, it is convenient for users to pick up goods at the corresponding height, solving the inconvenience and fall risk of special groups bending over to pick up goods.

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0016] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a vending machine with a lifting device and a grid push rod, including an outer box 1. The outer box 1 has a first cavity 5 and a second cavity 6, which are connected. Several shelves 10 are installed in the first cavity 5. Several dispensing slots 7 are opened on the front of the outer box 1, and the shelves 10 and dispensing slots 7 are arranged vertically. A collection seat 8 slides vertically in the first cavity 5 and also slides in the second cavity 6. The top surface of the collection seat 8 is an inclined surface 9, which slopes towards the second cavity 6. A driving component is installed inside the outer box 1 to drive the collection seat 8 to move. A door 2 is connected to the first cavity 5 via a hinge. A baffle 4 is rotatably connected to the dispensing slots 7 via a torsion spring. A control screen 3 is also embedded on the surface of the outer box 1. First, select the desired product through the control screen 3 on the surface of the outer box 1. The control screen 3 issues a command to push the product onto the top surface of the collection seat 8 in the first cavity 5 via the pushing mechanism on the corresponding shelf 10. Since the top surface of the collection seat 8 is an inclined surface 9 that slopes towards the second cavity 6, the product will slide along the inclined surface 9 towards the second cavity 6 under the action of gravity. Then, the user issues a lifting command through the control screen 3, the drive unit starts and drives the collection seat 8 to slide vertically in the first cavity 5 and the second cavity 6. When the collection seat 8 moves to a height that is convenient for the user to pick up the product, the user can push the baffle 4 through the retrieval port 7. The baffle 4 rotates around the torsion spring to open and take out the product. After the product is taken out, the torsion spring drives the baffle 4 to reset and close the retrieval port 7. The staff can open the box door 2 through the hinge to replenish the product to the shelf 10 in the first cavity 5.

[0017] Specifically, the pushing mechanism has a built-in small drive motor. After receiving the start signal from the control panel 3, the small drive motor starts to run. The output shaft of the motor transmits power to the transmission component of the pushing mechanism. The transmission component converts the rotational motion of the motor into linear motion. The transmission component drives the push plate of the pushing mechanism to slide along the length of the shelf 10. After the push plate contacts the target product stored on the shelf 10, it will continuously apply a pushing force to make the product slide along the bearing surface of the shelf 10 until the product is pushed out of the discharge end of the shelf 10.

[0018] As an embodiment of this utility model, the outer casing 1 is further provided with a sliding groove 13 inside, which is connected to the first cavity 5. The driving component includes a threaded rod 12 that rotates in the first cavity 5. The outer side of the threaded rod 12 is threadedly connected to a slider. The slider slides in the sliding groove 13 and is connected to the collecting seat 8. A power component is also installed in the outer casing 1. The power component drives the threaded rod 12 to rotate. When the control panel 3 issues a lifting command, the power component starts and drives the threaded rod 12 to rotate in the first cavity 5. Since the threaded rod 12 is threadedly engaged with the slider and the slider is guided and limited by the sliding groove 13, the rotational motion of the threaded rod 12 is converted into the linear sliding of the slider along the sliding groove 13. Since the slider is connected to the collecting seat 8, the slider will drive the collecting seat 8 to move vertically in the first cavity 5 and the second cavity 6 simultaneously, realizing the lifting function of the collecting seat 8.

[0019] As an embodiment of this utility model, the outer casing 1 is further provided with a slot inside. The power components include a rotating shaft 16 and a connecting shaft rotatably installed in the slot. A driven bevel gear 17 and a driving bevel gear 18 are respectively installed on the outer side of the rotating shaft 16 and the connecting shaft. The driven bevel gear 17 and the driving bevel gear 18 mesh. A motor is also installed in the slot. The output end of the motor is connected to the connecting shaft for transmission. The rotating shaft 16 and the threaded rod 12 are coaxially connected. After the control panel 3 issues a lifting command, the motor in the slot starts. The output end of the motor drives the connecting shaft to rotate. The connecting shaft drives the driving bevel gear 18 on the outer side to rotate synchronously. Since the driving bevel gear 18 meshes with the driven bevel gear 17, the driving bevel gear 18 drives the driven bevel gear 17 to rotate. The driven bevel gear 17 drives the rotating shaft 16 connected to it to rotate in the slot. Since the rotating shaft 16 and the threaded rod 12 are coaxially connected, the rotating shaft 16 drives the threaded rod 12 to rotate synchronously in the first cavity 5, providing power for the lifting of the collection seat 8.

[0020] As an embodiment of this utility model, further, grooves 14 are provided at both ends of the slide groove 13, and a roller 15 is rotatably connected to each groove 14 through a coil spring. A dustproof strip 11 is wound around the outside of the roller 15. The free end of the dustproof strip 11 is connected to the slider. When the slider slides upward along the slide groove 13 under the drive of the threaded rod 12, the slider will pull the free end of the dustproof strip 11 in the upper groove 14, so that the upper roller 15 rotates against the elastic force of the coil spring. The dustproof strip 11 unfolds from the roller 15 and moves with the slider. At the same time, the roller 15 in the lower groove 14 rotates in the opposite direction under the elastic force of the coil spring, winding and retrieving the excess dustproof strip 11. When the slider slides downward, the dustproof strip 11 in the lower groove 14 is pulled and unfolded, and the roller 15 in the upper groove 14 retracts the dustproof strip 11. During this process, the dustproof strip 11 always covers the opening of the slide groove 13, preventing dust from entering.

[0021] As an embodiment of this utility model, the dustproof belt 11 and the slide 13 are of the same width. Since the width of the dustproof belt 11 is the same as the width of the slide 13, when the slider moves the dustproof belt 11 at the opening of the slide 13, the two side edges of the dustproof belt 11 can fit tightly with the two side inner walls of the slide 13 without leaving gaps, thereby completely blocking external dust and debris from entering the interior through the opening of the slide 13 and maintaining a clean environment inside the slide 13.

[0022] As an embodiment of this utility model, the picking port 7 is further provided with a baffle strip near the surface of the outer box 1. The inner side of the baffle strip can abut against the outer side of the baffle 4. When the user picks up the goods, the baffle 4 is pushed inward, and the baffle 4 rotates around the torsion spring. At this time, the inner side of the baffle 4 moves into the equipment and the outer side separates from the baffle strip. After the goods are picked up, the torsion spring drives the baffle 4 to rotate in the opposite direction to reset. When the outer side of the baffle 4 abuts against the inner side of the baffle strip, the baffle 4 stops rotating. At this time, the baffle 4 just closes the picking port 7. The baffle strip restricts the baffle 4 from continuing to rotate outward, ensuring that the closing position is accurate.

[0023] As an embodiment of this utility model, both the baffle 4 and the box door 2 are transparent panels. Before taking goods, users can observe the placement of goods on the collection seat 8 inside the taking port 7 through the transparent baffle 4. After determining the position of the goods, they can accurately push the baffle 4 to take the goods. During routine maintenance, staff can observe the remaining amount of goods on the shelf 10 inside the first cavity 5 through the transparent box door 2. When the stock of goods is insufficient, the box door 2 can be opened to replenish the goods. There is no need to frequently open the box door 2 for inspection, saving maintenance time.

[0024] It should be noted that all standard parts used in this application can be purchased from the market, and can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art. The control method is automatic control through a control cabinet. The control circuit can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art and is common knowledge in the field. Furthermore, since this application is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, this application will not explain the control method and circuit connection in detail.
