Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of self-service liquor vending technology, specifically an automatic bottled liquor vending machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the current catering industry, the sale of baijiu (Chinese liquor) largely relies on manual operation or simple automated vending machines. Manual sales suffer from low efficiency, high costs, and a high risk of error. Existing patented automated vending machines typically only handle single-variety baijiu, failing to automatically switch between different bottled baijiu types and accurately dispense the liquor. For example, some vending machines use upright bottles, which can lead to leakage, oxidation, or contamination, affecting the quality and hygiene of the liquor. Furthermore, the dispensing process often lacks effective sealing measures, easily causing backflow or waste, reducing the reliability of the vending machine and the user experience. Therefore, there is a need in this field for an automated vending machine capable of automatically switching between multiple bottled baijiu types, ensuring a hygienic and efficient dispensing process, and possessing a stable structure.

[0003] In view of this, existing technologies may already provide solutions to the above problems, but this case aims to provide an alternative or replacement technical solution. Utility Model Content

[0014] Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0015] Example: Please refer to Figure 1-3 An automatic bottled liquor vending machine includes a base 1, a through hole in the center of the base 1, an automatic switching component movably installed on the top of the base 1, and a liquor extraction component installed at the front end of the top of the base 1. The automatic switching assembly includes: a rotating shaft 2, a motor 3, a first mounting bracket 4, a protective cover 12, six wine bottles 5, and six wine dispensers 6. The rotating shaft 2 is movably mounted in the through hole above the base 1 via a bearing. The motor 3 is fixedly mounted below the base 1, and the main shaft of the motor 3 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 2. The first mounting bracket 4 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 2 and located above the base 1. The protective cover 12 is fitted onto the outside of the first mounting bracket 4 and is fixedly mounted above the base 1. Six wine bottles 5 are movably fitted into the first mounting bracket 4, and the six wine bottles 5 are inverted inside the first mounting bracket 4. Six wine dispensers 6 are movably fitted into the openings of the wine bottles 5, and the six wine dispensers 6 pass through the bottom end of the first mounting bracket 4.

[0016] During use, the staff first removes the corks from the six bottles 5, then places the dispensing device 6 on top of each bottle 5. The six bottles 5 are then inverted within the first mounting bracket 4 of the automatic switching component, with the bottle openings facing downwards, allowing the liquor to naturally collect at the bottle openings for complete emptying. To begin operation, the device is turned on, and the QR code on the device is scanned to access the vending machine interface. After selecting a type of liquor, the control system is triggered. Based on the user's selection, the control system instructs the motor 3 to start. The main shaft of the motor 3 drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate, thereby driving the first mounting bracket 4 fixed to it to rotate. The first mounting bracket 4 carries the six bottles 5 together in rotation until the bottle 5 corresponding to the user's selected liquor is precisely rotated to the corresponding position facing the dispensing component in front, and then stops.

[0017] In the specific implementation process, the wine extraction assembly includes: a second mounting bracket 7, a wine outlet 8, a wine inlet 9, a sleeve 10, and two cylinders 11; The second mounting bracket 7 is fixedly installed on the front end above the base 1, and a wine pump is embedded in the second mounting bracket 7. The wine outlet 8 is fixedly installed on the second mounting bracket 7 and is connected to the wine outlet end of the wine pump. The wine inlet 9 is fixedly installed above the base 1 and is connected to the wine inlet end of the wine pump. The sleeve 10 is movably fitted onto the wine inlet 9. Two cylinders 11 are fixedly installed above the base 1 and located on both sides of the sleeve 10, and the tops of the two cylinders 11 are fixedly connected to the tops of the sleeve 10 respectively.

[0018] In use, when the automatic switching component rotates the selected bottle 5 into position, positioning its dispensing device 6 directly above the inlet 9, the suction component begins operation. The two cylinders 11 work synchronously, pushing the sleeve 10 upwards. The upper end of the sleeve 10 tightly engages with the lower end of the inverted dispensing device 6, while the lower end remains connected to the inlet 9. This creates a sealed liquid channel from the inside of the bottle 5 to the suction pump. Once the liquid channel is established, the suction pump, embedded in the second mounting bracket 7, starts operating. The system generates suction, which is transmitted through the inlet 9 and sleeve 10 to the dispensing device 6 of the bottle 5, drawing the liquor out of the bottle 5. The second mounting bracket 7 serves as the structural foundation and skeleton of the entire liquor extraction assembly, used to fix, support, and accommodate all other components, ensuring the stability of the positions of core components such as the suction pump and the dispensing device 8. The liquor is then powered by the suction pump and pressed into the dispensing device 8, awaiting collection by the user. The dispensing device 8 is the final outlet for the liquor. Once the preset volume of liquor has been extracted, the suction pump stops working. Subsequently, the two cylinders 11 pull the sleeve 10 downwards, separating its upper end from the dispensing device 6 of the bottle 5, and the entire system returns to standby mode, ready for the next sale.

[0019] In the specific implementation process, the first mounting frame 4 has baffles inside and is divided into six equal parts. When in use, the mounting frame uses baffles to separate each type of wine bottle 5 to prevent the wine bottles 5 from colliding during rotation, and also limits the angle to facilitate the rotation angle of the motor 3 and facilitate docking with the wine inlet 9 below.

[0020] In practice, a one-way valve is installed at the lower end of the dispensing device 6. During use, the one-way valve at the lower end of the dispensing device 6 ensures that the wine will not leak out during the inverted process; it will only come out under the suction of the hydraulic pump, while also preventing the wine from oxidizing.

[0021] In practice, the diameter of the sleeve 10 is larger than the diameters of the dispensing device 6 and the inlet 9. During use, it is determined that both ends of the sleeve 10 can be fitted onto the dispensing device 6 and the inlet 9 respectively, thus enabling the extraction of the liquor.

[0022] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
