[0026] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Reference Figures 1-5 As shown, this portable multi-functional vending machine includes a single-opening vending machine 1 and a charging cabinet 2 that can hold several power banks. The vending machine 1 or charging cabinet 2 may have a sticker 3 with a QR code. In this invention, the sticker 3 is affixed to the upper part of the vending machine 1. The vending machine 1 contains a controller 4. A vending door 5 is rotatably installed at the opening of the vending machine 1. The vending door 5 is closed by an electric lock. The vending machine 1 has a corresponding product placement frame 6 inside the vending door 5. A weighing component is installed at the lower part of the product placement frame 6. The vending machine 1 may also have a temperature regulating component inside to adjust the temperature of the product placement frame 6. A camera 7 is located at the opening of the vending machine 1. The vending machine 1 also has a wireless switch 8 that can connect to a network. The electric lock, the weighing component, the temperature regulating component, the camera 7, and the wireless switch 8 are all signal-connected to the controller 4.

[0028] The vending machine door 5 includes a door body with an observation hole in the middle. The lower part of the door body has a positioning edge 10 corresponding to the opening of the vending machine 1. A sealing rubber ring 11 is fitted onto the positioning edge 10. An observation glass 9 is provided at the observation hole. A sign 12 corresponding to the observation glass 9 is rotatably mounted on the door body, and the sign 12 is signal-connected to the controller 4. The observation hole allows customers to see the goods in the vending frame 6. The positioning edge 10 fixes the door body in position at the opening of the vending machine 1. The sealing rubber ring 11 ensures the door body's airtightness. When setting up the vending machine, the sign 12 can be flipped up, and the controller 4 controls the sign 12 to emit light, serving as a marker. The vending machine door can be a single door or a double door. Different door designs can be used depending on the products sold. A single product can use a single door design. When the products sold are divided into hot and cold items, different storage compartments are needed, and a double door design is required to ensure that the products are not mixed up and to avoid affecting the sales effect.

[0029] The cargo machine 1 has a cargo compartment 13 inside, with an opening at the top. A weighing component is located between the loading frame 6 and the bottom of the cargo compartment 13. The weighing component includes a weighing base 14, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cargo compartment 13. A mounting groove is formed in the middle of the weighing base 14, and a weight sensor 15 is installed in the groove. The weight sensor 15 is signal-connected to the controller 4. The weight sensor 15 can sense the overall weight of the loading frame, i.e., the initial weight before the customer takes the goods. After the customer takes the goods from the loading frame, the weight sensor 15 can sense the overall weight of the loading frame, i.e., the calculated weight after the customer has taken the goods.

[0030] The weight sensor 15 transmits a signal to the controller 4, which in turn transmits the signal to the server. The server calculates the difference between the initial weight and the calculated weight to determine the customer's payment. For example, since the weight of each product is fixed, the weight sensor 15 can determine the weight difference. For different goods, the camera 7 is used to capture images to identify the goods the customer has taken out. The weight is then verified to determine the final payment amount.

[0031] A latch 16 is fixedly installed at the lower part of the cargo door 5. A locking hole corresponding to the latch 16 is opened at the upper end of the cargo compartment 13. A latch 17 corresponding to the latch 16 is on the locking hole. The other end of the latch 17 is slidably installed in the locking box 18. A first electromagnetic block 19 is provided at the end of the latch 17 extending into the locking box 18. A return spring 20 is fitted on the latch 17 between the first electromagnetic block 19 and the inner end of the locking box 18. A second electromagnetic block 21 is provided at the other inner end of the locking box 18. Both the first electromagnetic block 19 and the second electromagnetic block 21 are signal connected to the controller 4. When a customer scans the code to shop, the controller 4 generates a signal to the first electromagnetic block 19 and the second electromagnetic block 21. The first electromagnetic block 19 and the second electromagnetic block 21 are energized and closed, the latch 17 separates from the latch 16, and the door 5 can be opened. When the customer finishes shopping and closes the door 5, the first electromagnetic block 19 and the second electromagnetic block 21 are de-energized and separate. The latch 17 returns to its original position under the action of the return spring 20, that is, the latch 17 is inserted into the latch 16, realizing the closure of the door 5. The electric lock used to open and close the door 5 can also adopt other structures, which will not be elaborated here.

[0032] The temperature control component includes a compressor 22, a condenser 23, an evaporator 24, and a throttling device 25. The inlet end of the condenser 23 is connected to the compressor 22 via an exhaust pipe, and the compressor 22 is connected to the evaporator 24 via a return pipe. The outlet end of the condenser 23 is connected to the throttling device 25 via a pipe, and the throttling device 25 is connected to the evaporator 24 via a pipe. The compressor 22, the condenser 23, the evaporator 24, and the throttling device 25 are all connected to the controller 4 via signal connections. The temperature control component can regulate the temperature within the storage compartment 13, thereby enabling the placement and sale of different goods.

[0033] In use, customers can scan the QR code on sticker 3 to select a service. If they choose the power bank service, the charging cabinet 2 will pop out a power bank for their use. If they choose the shopping service, a signal is generated by the wireless switch 8 to the main server, which then sends the signal to the controller 4. The controller 4 sends a signal to open the electric lock, allowing the customer to select items in the shelf 6. Payment is processed through a dual verification process: a weighing device and a camera 7 transmit signals through the wireless switch 8 to the main server. The weight change and the image captured by the camera 7 are used for double verification, ensuring accurate payment. Simultaneously, the wireless switch 8 generates Wi-Fi signals around the vending machine, enabling customers to access the internet. The charging cabinet 2 provides power banks, ensuring customers' phones remain powered on. Merchants can purchase this vending machine, eliminating the need for staff to provide service at the machine, thus reducing labor costs. This achieves convenience and multi-functionality, providing customers with high-quality service and creating a win-win situation for all parties.
