[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vending device technology, and in particular to an anti-theft vending machine. Background Technology
[0002] Vending machines, as a convenient retail device, are widely used in shopping malls, stations and public places to sell various goods, such as beverages, snacks, and tissue packs.
[0003] However, traditional vending machines have significant anti-theft flaws in the item delivery and user retrieval processes. For example, existing vending machines typically use simple chutes or linear conveyor mechanisms to transport goods from the storage area to the retrieval slot. However, this design makes it easy for unauthorized users to intercept or steal goods during transport, especially near the retrieval slot. Due to the lack of effective guidance and control mechanisms, goods may be exposed in easily accessible locations, increasing the risk of theft. Furthermore, the conveyor paths in existing vending machines are often designed in a simple manner. After reaching the dispensing slot, users often need to reach out to retrieve the item, which is inconvenient and negatively impacts the purchasing experience. Utility Model Content

These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.
[0020] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0021] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed description of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0022] Example: like Figure 1-3As shown in the figure, this application discloses an anti-theft vending machine for realizing unmanned vending; existing electronic control components can be installed, which will not be described in detail here; this application has at least two guide members inside the vending machine to realize multiple guidance and complete the feeding action, while also preventing other people from reaching into the vending machine to steal.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the specific structure of this application is as follows, including: The housing 1 has a discharge port 101. The housing 1 can be an existing housing with a discharge port 101, so that the goods inside are sent from the discharge port 101 to the discharge port. For ease of explanation, the goods can be paper-packaged or other goods, which will not be listed here. The discharge device 2 is installed inside the housing 1, and a discharge channel 3 is formed between the end of the discharge device 2 and the discharge port 101. The discharge device 2 can be an existing one or a separation mechanism as described in application number 2025216334699, which includes a material trough, a conveying unit, etc., to deliver the tissue pack from one position to another. The discharge channel 3 is part of the internal cavity of the housing 1, isolated by a plate, and then combined with the end of the discharge device 2, the inner wall of the housing 1, etc., to connect the end of the discharge device 2 and the discharge port 101. It can be of various shapes, preferably L-shaped, that is, the vertical part facilitates the first guide member 4 to guide the tissue pack, and the horizontal part facilitates the second guide member 5 to guide the tissue pack. The first guide 4 is installed inside the discharge channel 3, and the first guide 4 is located between the end of the discharge device 2 and the inner wall of the housing 1. The first guide 4 is used to guide the goods to move towards the second guide. The second guide 5 is installed inside the discharge channel 3 and is located below the discharge device 2. The second guide 5 is used to guide the product toward the discharge port 101. This application divides the guide part into two parts, that is, the guide is completed by at least two components, the direction of the product is changed, and the discharge is completed. At the same time, there are multiple guides at the ends of the discharge port 101 and the discharge device 2, that is, multiple directions are changed, which is not conducive to reaching into the housing to steal, thus avoiding theft.
[0024] The second guide 5 of this application is designed to guide the product and make a part of it extend out of the discharge port 101 while the other part remains inside the discharge port 101. The second guide 5 in this application mainly adjusts the position of the tissue pack in the discharge port 101 so that the tissue pack can move to a part protruding from the discharge port 101, which also makes it easier for the user to pick it up.
[0025] Further explanation is given regarding the first guide member 4 and the second guide member 5 in this application. The first guide member 4 guides the tissue pack to generate displacement in the X-axis and Z-axis directions, while the second guide member 5 guides the tissue pack to generate displacement in the X-axis and Y-axis directions. With the inlet of the discharge channel as the origin, the Z-axis is the vertical direction, the X-axis is the horizontal length direction of the shell, and the Y-axis is the horizontal thickness direction of the shell.
[0026] In this application, the first guide member 4 and the second guide member 5 can be plates or rods.
[0027] Specifically, the first guide 4 is an arc-shaped plate or an inclined plate, which only needs to ensure that the item can be displaced in the vertical and horizontal directions; preferably, the bottom of the first guide 4 extends to the bottom surface of the discharge channel 3, so that the tissue pack can move to the head end of the second guide 5 better.
[0028] The second guide 5 is an arc-shaped plate or an inclined plate. One end of the second guide 5 extends toward the first guide 4 and is connected to the inner wall of the discharge channel 3, and the other end extends into the discharge port. When the tissue pack moves along the first guide 4, it has a certain speed due to vertical displacement and moves along the discharge channel 3. At this time, guided by the second guide 5, it can move toward the discharge port 101, making it convenient for the user to pick up the tissue pack.
[0029] The first guide member 4 and the second guide member 5 in this application can be detachably installed inside the housing 1, or integrally formed with the housing 1, or rotatably connected to the housing 1; The second guide member 5 is detachably installed inside the housing 1 or integrally formed with the housing 1. That is, the first guide member can be an integrally formed part, or it can be connected by other parts such as buckles, or fixedly connected by glue, etc. Similarly, the second guide member 5 is the same as the first guide member 4 and can be assembled in the same way.
[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the back of the housing 1 in this application has an opening 6, which corresponds to the second guide 5. This makes it convenient for the user to remove the second guide 5 from the opening or adjust the position of the second guide 5.
[0031] Further explanation is provided regarding this application: This application mainly designs the structure of the discharge channel 3, adding at least two guide members. The first guide member can guide the tissue pack to achieve vertical and horizontal displacement, while the second guide member 5 can guide the tissue pack to achieve horizontal and forward and backward displacement. This not only achieves theft prevention function (multi-directional, increasing the difficulty of theft), but also makes it convenient for users to take the tissue pack from the discharge port 101.
[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, in this application, the first guide 4 and the second guide 5 are preferably arc-shaped. The notch of the first guide 4 faces the direction of the discharge device 2, so that after the product is sent out from the discharge device 2, it can fall to the inner bottom of the discharge channel 3. The notch of the second guide faces the direction of the first guide 4. Preferably, one end of the second guide 5 is connected to the inner wall of the discharge channel 3, and the other end is connected to the discharge port 101. Because the product has a vertical displacement when it falls to the inner bottom of the discharge channel 3, it will have a certain speed and will continue to move along the inner wall of the second guide 5 until it reaches the discharge port 101.
[0033] Numerous specific details are set forth in this specification. However, it will be understood that embodiments of this invention may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known methods, structures, and techniques have not been shown in detail so as not to obscure the understanding of this specification.
