Detailed Implementation

[0016] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0017] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a mobile phone case printing and vending machine includes a body 1, which has a dispensing port 101 and a human-machine interaction screen 102. Customers can pick up the product through the dispensing port 101 and input relevant instructions or transmit relevant information through the human-machine interaction screen 102, such as inputting the content to be printed.

[0018] Combination Figure 4 As shown, the device 1 contains a shelf 2 with multiple storage compartments 21. A phone case is placed in a bracket 3, and multiple brackets 3 are stacked within the storage compartments 21, allowing the shelf 2 to store more phone cases. Figure 3 As shown, the support bracket 3 is a flat cuboid, similar to the outer packaging box of a mobile phone case. The support bracket 3 has a placement slot 31 for placing mobile phone cases, which can easily support various mobile phone cases, even those made of soft materials. The shelf 2 also has a shipping slide 22 corresponding to the shipping port 101. When the mobile phone case, along with the support bracket 3, is placed in the shipping slide 22, it will slide into the shipping port 101, allowing customers to retrieve their goods.

[0019] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6The shelf 2 shown has an XY moving mechanism 4 on its back. The XY moving mechanism 4 is connected to a telescopic mechanism 5, and the telescopic mechanism 5 is connected to a gripping mechanism 6 for picking up and placing support brackets. The XY moving mechanism 4 drives the telescopic mechanism 5 to move up, down, and laterally. The telescopic mechanism 5 drives the gripping mechanism 6 to extend and retract, thus allowing the gripping mechanism 6 to grip the support brackets and move them in the X, Y, and Z directions, thereby fulfilling the needs of goods transfer. Combined with... Figure 4 As shown, the storage compartment 21 includes a lower storage part 211 for placing the support bracket 3. Each of the four corners of the lower storage part 211 is provided with a retaining edge 212 for positioning the end of the support bracket 3. Above the lower storage part 211 is a retrieval clearance part 213 for the clamping mechanism 6 to extend into and clamp the support bracket. When retrieving goods, the clamping mechanism 6 extends from the retrieval clearance part 213 to clamp the support bracket 3, making it easy to remove the support bracket 3 from the storage compartment 21.

[0020] The XY moving mechanism 4 includes two horizontally parallel linear track modules 41, with a vertical linear track module 42 spanning between them. The vertical linear track module 42 is connected to the telescopic mechanism 5. Both the horizontal and vertical linear track modules 41 and 42 use synchronous belt linear track slides, which can be purchased directly from the market according to specifications. A synchronous rotating shaft 43 is provided between the two horizontal linear track modules, allowing the two horizontal linear track modules 41 to operate synchronously, thereby enabling the two ends of the vertical linear track module 42 to move synchronously. One horizontal linear track module 41 is connected to a horizontal drive motor 44. The operation of the horizontal linear track module 41 connected to the horizontal drive motor 44, linked by the synchronous rotating shaft 43, enables the two horizontal linear track modules 41 to operate synchronously, thereby enabling the two ends of the vertical linear track module 42 to move synchronously, achieving horizontal movement. The vertical linear track module 42 is connected to a vertical drive motor 45, which drives the vertical linear track module 42 to run, thereby causing the telescopic mechanism 5 to rise and fall vertically.

[0021] Combination Figure 7 As shown, the telescopic mechanism 5 includes a base platform 51, on which a first slide rail 52 is provided. The clamping mechanism 6 slides along the first slide rail 52. The clamping mechanism 6 is equipped with a first motor 53, which is connected to a first drive tooth 54. The base platform 51 is equipped with a first rack 55 that matches the first drive tooth 54. The first motor 53 drives the first drive tooth 54 to rotate, thereby causing the first drive tooth 54 and the first rack 55 to move relative to each other, causing the clamping mechanism 6 to slide along the first slide rail 52, thus realizing the extension and retraction of the clamping mechanism 6.

[0022] Combination Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the clamping mechanism 6 includes a movable base 61 located on a first slide rail 55. A second slide rail 62 is mounted on the movable base 61, and a clamping plate 63 is mounted on the second slide rail 62. A second motor 64 is mounted on the clamping plate 63, and the second motor 64 is connected to a second drive gear 65. A second rack 66, matching the second drive gear 65, is mounted on the movable base 61. Both the movable base 61 and the clamping plate 63 have clamping portions 601, which are arranged opposite to each other. The second motor 64 drives the second drive gear 65 to rotate, pushing the second rack 66 to move, thereby causing the clamping plate 63 to slide along the second slide rail 62. This achieves relative movement between the movable base 61 and the clamping plate 63, allowing the two clamping portions 601 to move closer or further apart, thus achieving clamping or releasing. Each clamping portion 601 has two positioning protrusions 602 distributed on both sides of the clamping portion 601. This structure improves the stability of the clamping. Both ends of the support bracket 3 are provided with positioning grooves 32 that match the positioning protrusions 601. When the clamping mechanism 6 clamps the support bracket 3, the positioning protrusions 601 are inserted into the positioning grooves 32, which not only improves the stability of clamping, but also enables precise positioning.

[0023] Combination Figure 10 As shown, a printing device 9 and a horizontal movement mechanism 7 are provided below the shelf 2. The horizontal movement mechanism 7 is connected to a positioning platform 8 for placing the support bracket 3. The horizontal movement mechanism 7 drives the positioning platform 8 to move to the printing device 9. The XY movement mechanism 4 and the telescopic mechanism 5 drive the clamping mechanism 6 to clamp the support bracket 3 along with the mobile phone case and place it on the positioning platform 8. The horizontal movement mechanism 7 drives the positioning platform 8 to move to the printing device 9, and the printing device 9 prints the preset pattern onto the mobile phone case inside the support bracket 3.

[0024] The horizontal movement mechanism 7 includes a horizontal movement slide rail 71, a horizontal movement seat 72 on the horizontal movement slide rail 71, a horizontal movement synchronous pulley group 73 connected to the horizontal movement seat 72 to drive the horizontal movement seat 72 to slide along the horizontal movement slide rail 71, a support plate frame 74 on the horizontal movement seat 72, and a positioning platform 8 located on the support plate frame 74. The horizontal movement synchronous pulley group 73 drives the horizontal movement seat 72 to slide along the horizontal movement slide rail 71, thereby driving the positioning platform 8 to move. The positioning platform 8 includes a positioning plate 81, a limiting boss 82 on the positioning plate 81 to limit the circumference of the support bracket 3, the support bracket 3 is placed on the positioning plate 81, and the limiting boss 82 positions the support bracket 3, thereby facilitating the positioning of the mobile phone case. The printing device 9 includes a print head 91, a print head 91 connected to an ink supply assembly 92, the ink supply assembly 92 supplies printing ink to the print head 91, and the print head 91 is used to print patterns onto the mobile phone case.

[0025] The working process of this utility model is as follows: The mobile phone case is placed in the support bracket 3, and the support bracket 3 and the mobile phone case are stacked in the storage compartment 21. When a customer places an order, the XY moving mechanism 4 and the telescopic mechanism 5 drive the clamping mechanism 6 to clamp a support bracket 3 and transport the support bracket 3 and the mobile phone case to the positioning platform 8. The lateral moving mechanism 7 moves the positioning platform 8 to the printing device 9, and the printing device 9 prints the pattern preset by the customer onto the mobile phone case. The lateral moving mechanism 7 moves the positioning platform 8 out, and the XY moving mechanism 4 and the telescopic mechanism 5 drive the clamping mechanism 6 to clamp the support bracket 3 and the mobile phone case and transport it to the shipping slide 22. The support bracket 3 and the mobile phone case are placed in the shipping slide 22, and the support bracket 3 and the mobile phone case slide down to the shipping port 101. The customer can take out the support bracket 3 through the shipping port 101 and get the mobile phone case inside the support bracket 3.

[0026] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any obvious substitutions are within the protection scope of this utility model without departing from its inventive concept.
