Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vending machine technology, and more specifically, it relates to a mesh positioning structure for vending machines. Background Technology

[0002] Automated vending machines are retail devices that require no human intervention and rely on automation technology to enable self-service transactions. After paying by inserting a vending machine and scanning a code, users can automatically obtain various goods such as snacks and daily necessities according to their selections. They are widely distributed in public places such as stations, schools, office buildings, and communities. They not only provide users with convenient and efficient instant consumption services, but also help operators reduce labor costs and expand retail touchpoints. They are an important part of the modern convenient retail system.

[0003] Currently, vending machines have specially designed mesh structures inside the cabinets to achieve orderly storage and placement of various goods. This structure can separate and place goods of different sizes and types, which not only avoids the stacking and squeezing of goods, but also provides an orderly basis for users to take the goods themselves when they make their purchases, effectively ensuring the smooth flow of goods storage and sales.

[0004] However, existing mesh structures generally use a single mesh structure, which is directly connected to the hook structure. The single mesh relies solely on the direct connection with the hook to bear the force, lacking an additional support structure. Long-term placement of goods, especially heavy snacks and daily necessities, can lead to stress concentration at the connection point, which can easily cause mesh deformation, hook loosening or even falling off, resulting in goods tilting or falling. This paper proposes a mesh positioning structure for vending machines to improve the existing problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a mesh positioning structure for vending machines.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A mesh positioning structure for an automatic vending machine includes a cabinet, the bottom of which is provided with several casters, and a positioning component is provided inside the cabinet.

[0007] The positioning component includes four sets of support strip structures, with a positioning frame located in the middle of each of the four sets of support strip structures. A hook structure is provided between each of the four sets of support strip structures and the positioning frame. A mesh is provided on the top of the positioning frame, and the mesh is fixedly connected to the positioning frame.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the support bar structure includes a support bar body, and a plurality of bolt mounting holes are provided through the side wall of the support bar body, and a plurality of hook mounting holes are provided at the middle position of every two sets of bolt mounting holes.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the shelf body provides a stable mounting base and load-bearing support for the hook structure, directly laying the foundation for the overall structural load-bearing stability and reducing deformation or damage caused by weak foundation components. Several bolt mounting holes are provided through the side wall, which can be used to quickly connect the shelf body to the inner side wall of the cabinet with bolts, making the installation operation convenient. At the same time, the bolt mounting holes are designed with a countersunk head structure, that is, the bolts can be completely flush with the side of the bolt mounting holes during the installation process, reducing the impact of bolt installation on the hook structure installation and making it easier to install hooks. By setting several hook mounting holes, the position of the hook mounting holes can be flexibly selected according to the actual hanging requirements, greatly enhancing the flexibility of the structure.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: the hook structure includes a first component, and a second component is provided on one side of the first component, and the second component and the first component are integrally formed.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: the second component and the first component are combined to form an L-shaped locking structure, and L-shaped limiting strips are provided on both sides of the L-shaped locking structure, and the shapes of the two sets of L-shaped limiting strips are adapted to the shapes of the side walls of the support structure.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: a baffle is provided on the side of the first component away from the second component, and the baffle is fixedly connected to the first component.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that: a through hole is provided through the second component, the through hole is shaped as an inverted triangle, and the inside of the through hole is chamfered.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that: a buckle is provided on one side of the second component, and one end of the buckle is connected to the inner wall of the through hole.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the buckle consists of two parts: a connecting part and a clamping part. The connecting part is connected to the inner wall of the through hole and has a certain inclination angle. When installing the hook structure, the clamping part passes through the hook mounting hole and contacts the support strip body. By setting the connecting part, the buckle can be more easily fixed to the hook mounting hole. By setting the clamping part, the hook structure is further fixed on the basis of the connecting part. Compared with the buckle with only one angle, the two-stage buckle makes the hook structure more stable and reduces the possibility of the hook structure falling off.

[0016] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: By setting the mesh and positioning frame to be fixedly connected, and the four sets of shelf structures working together with the positioning frame to form multiple support points, the weight of the goods is distributed to the positioning frame and shelf structure, which greatly reduces the stress load on a single connection point and fundamentally reduces the risk of mesh deformation and hook structure loosening and falling off. In addition, the positioning frame and the four sets of shelf structures form a stable frame structure, and the mesh is not easy to shift or shake after being fixed on the positioning frame.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-6 The present invention provides the following technical solution: Example 1, see Figure 1A mesh positioning structure for an automatic vending machine includes a cabinet 1, a number of casters 2 at the bottom of the cabinet 1, and a positioning component 3 inside the cabinet 1.

[0027] See Figure 2 The positioning component 3 includes four sets of support strip structures 33. A positioning frame 31 is provided in the middle of the four sets of support strip structures 33. A hook structure 34 is provided between each of the four sets of support strip structures 33 and the positioning frame 31. A mesh 32 is provided on the top of the positioning frame 31. The mesh 32 and the positioning frame 31 are fixedly connected.

[0028] In practical applications, the combination of positioning frame 31, mesh 32, and hook structure 34 can be set in multiple groups, and these groups can be arranged in layers from top to bottom. The gap between each group can be adjusted according to the volume of the goods. This placement method can divide goods of different specifications and types into zones, which not only avoids the stacking and squeezing of goods, but also provides an orderly basis for users to take the goods themselves when they make purchases, effectively ensuring the smooth flow of goods storage and sales.

[0029] By setting the mesh 32 to be fixedly connected to the positioning frame 31, and the four sets of support strips 33 working together with the positioning frame 31 to form multiple support points, the weight of the goods is distributed to the positioning frame 31 and the support strips 33, which greatly reduces the stress load on a single connection point and fundamentally reduces the risk of deformation of the mesh 32 and loosening and falling off of the hook structure 34.

[0030] In addition, the positioning frame 31 and the four sets of shelf structures 33 form a stable frame structure, and the mesh 32 is not easy to shift or shake after being fixed on the positioning frame 31. Even if heavy snacks and daily necessities are placed there for a long time, the stable frame support can keep the mesh 32 in a stable position, reduce the tilting and falling of goods due to deformation of the mesh 32 or detachment of the hook structure 34, and improve the reliability of the vending machine in storing goods.

[0031] The specific process of installing positioning component 3 inside cabinet 1 is as follows: First, select a suitable position according to the size of the product, and install several hook structures 34 onto the shelf structure 33 in sequence. Next, fix the shelf structure 33 to the inside of the cabinet 1 with bolts. Finally, place the combination structure of the positioning frame 31 and the mesh 32 above the hook structure 34. At this time, the four sets of shelf structures 33 and hook structures 34 in the horizontal direction form a support frame for the mesh 32, reducing the possibility of deformation of the mesh 32.

[0032] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The support bar structure 33 includes a support bar body 331. Several bolt mounting holes 332 are provided through the side wall of the support bar body 331. Several hook mounting holes 333 are provided in the middle position of every two sets of bolt mounting holes 332.

[0033] The support bar body 331 provides a stable mounting base and load-bearing support for the hook structure 34, directly laying the foundation for the overall structural load-bearing stability and reducing deformation or damage caused by weak foundation components.

[0034] Several bolt mounting holes 332 are provided through the side wall, which can be used to quickly connect the shelf body 331 to the inner side wall of the cabinet 1 with bolts, making the installation operation convenient. At the same time, the bolt mounting holes 332 are designed with countersunk head structure, that is, the bolts can be completely flush with the side of the bolt mounting holes 332 during the installation process, reducing the impact of bolt installation on the installation of hook structure 34, and making it easier to install hooks.

[0035] By setting several hook mounting holes 333, the position of the hook mounting holes 333 can be flexibly selected according to actual mounting requirements, greatly enhancing the flexibility of the structure.

[0036] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 The hook structure 34 includes a first component 341, and a second component 342 is provided on one side of the first component 341. The second component 342 and the first component 341 are integrally formed.

[0037] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 The second component 342 and the first component 341 are combined to form an L-shaped locking structure. Both sides of the L-shaped locking structure are provided with L-shaped limiting strips. The shapes of the two sets of L-shaped limiting strips are adapted to the shapes of the two side walls of the support structure 33.

[0038] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 A baffle 344 is provided on the side of the first component 341 away from the second component 342, and the baffle 344 is fixedly connected to the first component 341.

[0039] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 The second component 342 has a through hole 345, which is shaped like an inverted triangle and has a chamfer inside.

[0040] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 The second component 342 is provided with a buckle 343 on one side, and one end of the buckle 343 is connected to the inner wall of the through hole 345.

[0041] The first component 341, the second component 342, and the baffle 344 are combined to form a U-shaped placement structure. The crossbeam of the positioning frame 31 can be placed inside the U-shaped placement structure. In practical applications, four sets of hook structures 34 are set in the horizontal direction, which in turn creates four sets of U-shaped placement structures. That is, the four points of the positioning frame 31 are restricted by four sets of U-shaped placement structures. This placement method can increase the stability of the positioning frame 31, thereby increasing or decreasing the stability of the mesh 32 and reducing the possibility of deformation of the mesh 32.

[0042] The buckle 343 consists of two parts: a connecting part and a clamping part. The connecting part is connected to the inner wall of the through hole 345 and has a certain inclination angle. When installing the hook structure 34, the clamping part passes through the hook mounting hole 333 and contacts the shelf body 331. By setting the connecting part, the buckle 343 can be more easily fixed to the hook mounting hole 333. By setting the clamping part, the hook structure 34 is further fixed on the basis of the connecting part. Compared with the buckle 343 with only one angle, the two-section buckle 343 makes the hook structure 34 more stable and reduces the possibility of the hook structure 34 falling off.

[0043] Since the second component 342 and the first component 341 combine to form an L-shaped locking structure, and L-shaped limiting strips are provided on both sides of the L-shaped locking structure, the two sets of L-shaped limiting strips are adapted to the two side walls of the shelf body 331 respectively. When fixing the hook structure 34, the two sets of L-shaped limiting strips and the shelf body 331 form a wrap-around card box, which further enhances the connection stability between the hook structure 34 and the shelf structure 33, reduces the possibility of the hook structure 34 falling off, and thus enhances the stability of the positioning frame 31 and the mesh 32, and reduces the possibility of the mesh 32 deforming.

[0044] By setting a chamfer inside the through hole 345, the sharp edge of the hole can be eliminated, which can prevent scratches to operators during installation and improve installation efficiency.

[0045] During the installation process, first insert the buckle 343 along the hook mounting hole 333, then push the second component 342 forcefully so that the second component 342 fits into the support bar body 331, so that the hook structure 34 is connected to the support bar structure 33, thus completing the installation of the hook structure 34 and the support bar structure 33.

[0046] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
