[0002] Self-service vending machines are commercial automation devices that rely on electronic payment technologies (such as QR code payment and facial recognition payment) or traditional coin recognition technology to automatically complete the entire process of "user payment - product dispensing". They can operate 24 hours a day without the need for dedicated personnel, significantly reducing labor costs. They can also be flexibly adapted to various scenarios such as office buildings, campuses, communities, and subway stations. Through small-scale and decentralized deployment, they can meet users' immediate shopping needs and are an important part of the modern unmanned retail system. To ensure the normal operation of the vending machines, it is necessary to replenish the sold-out or near-expiry products regularly.

[0003] However, when replenishing goods, the turnover baskets containing the goods are placed on the ground. Therefore, when replenishing goods at the top of the vending machine, operators need to frequently bend over to take items from the lower level to the higher level, which wastes time and energy. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a convenient self-service vending machine for replenishing goods, which can avoid the need to bend over frequently when replenishing goods at a high position, thereby saving time and energy and improving the efficiency of replenishing goods.

[0025] In use, when replenishing goods at higher locations, the turnover basket can be placed on the placement plate 205. Because the placement plate 205 has a certain height, workers do not need to frequently bend over when retrieving goods from inside the turnover basket to the cabinet 1 for replenishment, thus saving time and energy and improving the efficiency of replenishment. After replenishment, the placement plate 205 can be rotated 270 degrees to a vertical position, and then the support rod 207 can be rotated to a vertical position. Then, by pulling the insertion rod 302, the spring 3... 06. When the insertion rod 302 is not engaged with one of the slots 304, the connecting frame 204 can be rotated 180 degrees. After the connecting frame 204 is rotated 180 degrees, the insertion rod 302 will engage with the other slot 304 under the action of the spring 306. At this time, the first connecting shaft 202 cannot rotate. Since the first connecting shaft 202 cannot rotate, the connecting frame 204 also cannot rotate. After the connecting frame 204 is rotated 180 degrees, it will be stored on one side of the cabinet 1, thereby avoiding obstruction of purchasers and avoiding adverse effects on the sale of goods.
