Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automatic vending equipment technology, specifically relating to a vending device with an automatic closing function. Background Technology

[0002] Smart vending machines are machines that can automatically dispense goods based on the amount of money inserted. Vending machines are commonly used equipment in commercial automation. They are not limited by time or location, and can save manpower and facilitate transactions. However, current smart vending machines cannot display advertisements during use, which does not meet the needs of vending machine operators. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a vending device with an automatic closing function to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. To achieve the above objective, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0004] A vending machine with an automatic closing function includes a storage box, a vending machine body, and an activity control mechanism. The storage box has an opening, and the vending machine body is placed inside the storage box. The vending machine body is movably connected to the storage box so that it can be exposed through the opening. The activity control mechanism controls the movement of the vending machine body. The vending machine body has a storage cavity, and a door is rotatably connected to the storage cavity. The vending machine body has a lock body, and a locking mechanism is provided between the lock body and the vending machine body. The device is equipped with an elastic element that has a preload force to keep the lock body in the locked position. The lock body is provided with a steering drive ramp. The door is provided with a lock seat and a lock slot. When the door is closed, the lock seat contacts the steering drive ramp to overcome the preload force of the elastic element and pushes the lock body back. When the lock slot is aligned with the lock body, the elastic element pushes the lock body into the lock slot. When the vending device body is retracted into the storage box, the storage box contacts and pushes the door to move in the closing direction.

[0005] Furthermore, the activity control mechanism includes a drive gear, a rack, a drive motor, and a control module. The rack is mounted on the storage box, the drive gear is mounted on the vending device body, the drive gear meshes with the rack, and the drive motor is used to drive the drive gear to rotate.

[0006] Furthermore, a transmission mechanism is provided between the drive motor and the gear. The transmission mechanism includes a worm, a worm wheel, a first gear, and a second gear. The worm is driven by the drive motor. The worm meshes with the worm wheel. The worm wheel is coaxially arranged with the first gear. The first gear meshes with the second gear. The drive gear meshes with the second gear. The diameter of the first gear is smaller than that of the second gear.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: when the vending device is not needed for sales, it is stored in the storage box to prevent the vending device body from being exposed and affecting its appearance. At this time, when the vending device is used for sales, the activity control mechanism controls the vending device body to move out of the opening. When driving the vending device body to move and be stored in the storage box, it also pushes the door to move in the closing direction, so that the lock body enters the lock and completes the automatic closing. The process is convenient and quick. Attached Figure Description

[0012] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a vending machine with an automatic closing function includes a storage box 1, a vending machine body 2, and an activity control mechanism 3. The storage box 1 has an opening 11, and the vending machine body 2 is placed inside the storage box 1. The vending machine body 2 is movably connected to the storage box 1 so that it can be movably exposed through the opening 11. The activity control mechanism 3 is used to control the movement of the vending machine body 2. The vending machine body 2 is provided with a storage cavity, and a door is rotatably connected to the storage cavity. The vending machine body 2 is provided with a lock body, and the lock body is connected to the vending machine... An elastic element is provided between the main bodies 2 of the vending device. The elastic element has a preload force that keeps the lock body in the locked position. The lock body is provided with a steering drive ramp. The vending door is provided with a lock seat and a lock slot. When the vending door is closed, the lock seat touches the steering drive ramp to overcome the preload force of the elastic element and pushes the lock body back. When the lock slot is aligned with the lock body, the elastic element pushes the lock body into the lock slot. When the vending device main body 2 is moved into the storage box 1, the storage box 1 touches and pushes the vending door to move in the closing direction.

[0013] When the vending device is not in use, it is stored in the storage box 1 to prevent the vending device body 2 from being exposed and affecting its appearance. At this time, when the vending device is used for sales, the activity control mechanism 3 controls the vending device body 2 to move out of the opening 11. When driving the vending device body 2 to move and be stored in the storage box 1, it also pushes the door to move in the closing direction, so that the lock body enters the lock and completes the automatic closing. The process is convenient and quick.

[0014] In one embodiment: the activity control mechanism 3 includes a drive gear 31, a rack 32, a drive motor 33, and a control module. The rack 32 is mounted on the storage box 1, the drive gear 31 is mounted on the vending device body 2, the drive gear 31 meshes with the rack 32, and the drive motor 33 is used to drive the drive gear 31 to rotate.

[0015] In one example: A QR code is affixed to the storage box. When a consumer scans the QR code to access the purchase page and make a purchase, the control module controls the vending machine to expose the storage box and thus controls the vending machine to dispense the product.

[0016] In one embodiment, a transmission mechanism is provided between the drive motor 33 and the gear 31. The transmission mechanism includes a worm 34, a worm wheel 35, a first gear 36, and a second gear 37. The worm 34 is driven by the drive motor 33 and meshes with the worm wheel 35. The worm wheel 35 is coaxially arranged with the first gear 36. The first gear 36 meshes with the second gear 37. The drive gear 31 meshes with the second gear 37. The diameter of the first gear 36 is smaller than that of the second gear 37. The worm wheel 35 and worm 34 have a self-locking function when not in use.

[0017] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. The scope of protection of the present utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model.
