[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vending machine technology, and in particular to a product channel device and vending machine that are easy to maintain. Background Technology

[0002] Vending machines are commonly used equipment in commercial automation. They are not limited by time or location, save manpower, and facilitate transactions. They represent a new form of commercial retail and are also known as 24-hour mini-supermarkets. Furthermore, with market changes, vending machines have evolved into various styles.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent application number CN201921270297.8 discloses a cargo channel structure with adjustable width. However, this structure has the following problems: multiple gearboxes are sequentially installed between the base plate and the fixing component, and several partitions are also snapped onto the fixing component. Therefore, when a gearbox malfunctions and needs to be disassembled, all partitions snapped onto the fixing component must first be removed, then the fixing component must be removed, and finally the malfunctioning gearbox can be disassembled. This disassembly and assembly process is quite complex. Therefore, a cargo channel device that makes disassembly and assembly of a gearbox more convenient when it malfunctions needs to be designed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a product channel device and vending machine that are easy to maintain, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

A cargo channel is formed between two adjacent partitions and between the side plate of the mounting base and the adjacent partition. The mounting base also has several pushing mechanisms for pushing goods on the cargo channel. Each pushing mechanism includes a gearbox. The device further includes a first fixing member and a second fixing member.

[0006] The first fixing member is detachably installed on the two side plates of the mounting base, and the second fixing member is detachably installed on the first fixing member;

[0007] The first fixing member is located on the side closer to the cargo channel, and the second fixing member is located on the side farther away from the cargo channel;

[0008] The tail of the partition is snapped into the first fixing member;

[0009] The front end of the top of the gear box abuts against the bottom of the first fixing member, and the rear end of the top of the gear box abuts against the bottom of the second fixing member; the bottom of the gear box is mounted on the rear end of the mounting base plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the first fixing member is provided with a first snap-fit ​​portion, and the second fixing member is provided with a second snap-fit ​​portion, the second snap-fit ​​portion snapping onto the first snap-fit ​​portion.

[0011] Furthermore, the first snap-fit ​​portion is disposed on the side of the end of the first fixing member;

[0013] Furthermore, a first fixing hole is provided on the first snap-fit ​​part, a second fixing hole is provided on the second snap-fit ​​part, and a fastener is provided between the first fixing hole and the second fixing hole.

[0014] Furthermore, the first fixing member is provided with a plurality of limiting blocks along the length direction, and the second fixing member is provided with a plurality of limiting grooves along the length direction, the limiting grooves being fitted onto the limiting blocks from top to bottom.

[0015] Furthermore, the limiting block includes a plurality of large limiting blocks and a plurality of small limiting blocks, and the limiting groove includes a plurality of large limiting grooves and a plurality of small limiting grooves;

[0016] The large limit block is connected to the large limit groove, and the small limit block is connected to the small limit groove.

[0017] Furthermore, the large limiting block includes a first connecting portion and a first limiting portion; one end of the first connecting portion is connected to the first fixing member, and the other end is connected to the first limiting portion; the first limiting portion is slidably connected to the large limiting groove.

[0018] The small limiting block includes a second connecting part and a second limiting part; one end of the second connecting part is connected to the first fixing member, and the other end is connected to the second limiting part; the second limiting part is slidably connected to the small limiting groove.

[0019] The length of the first connecting part is greater than the length of the second connecting part;

[0020] The width of the first limiting part is greater than the width of the second limiting part.

[0021] Furthermore, the first limiting part and the second limiting part are respectively designed as trapezoids with a smaller upper part and a larger lower part;

[0022] Furthermore, the bottom of the first fixing member is in the form of a first arc-shaped portion, and the height of the first arc-shaped portion on the side closer to the cargo channel is lower than the height on the side farther from the cargo channel;

[0025] Secondly, this utility model also provides a vending machine, including a product channel device that is easy to maintain.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, this utility model brings the following technical effects:

[0027] Because gearboxes can malfunction, when a gearbox fails, the second fixing member is removed from the first fixing member. At this point, the rear end of the top of the gearbox is no longer restricted by other parts and can rotate around the bottom of the gearbox at a certain angle, causing the front end of the top of the gearbox to detach from the first fixing member. The gearbox and the push assembly connected to it can then be removed together. This device only requires removing the second fixing member to remove the malfunctioning gearbox, making disassembly of the gearbox much more convenient than the traditional method that requires removing all partitions.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] Please refer to Figures 1-9 A convenient cargo channel device includes a mounting base 1, which contains several partitions 2. The bottom of each partition 2 engages with the bottom plate of the mounting base 1, and a cargo channel is formed between adjacent partitions 2 and the side plate of the mounting base 1 and the adjacent partitions 2. The mounting base 1 also contains several pushing mechanisms 3, which are used to push goods on the cargo channel. Each pushing mechanism 3 includes a gearbox 301 and a pushing component 302. The pushing component 302 is located within the cargo channel, and the gearbox 301 drives the pushing component 302. The pushing component 302 can be a spring pushing component 302, a track pushing component 302, or other pushing components 302 that require the gearbox 301 as a power source. The device also includes a first fixing member 4 and a second fixing member 5.

[0047] The first fixing member 4 is detachably installed on the two side plates of the mounting base 1, and the second fixing member 5 is detachably installed on the first fixing member 4;

[0048] The first fixing member 4 is located on the side closer to the cargo channel, and the second fixing member 5 is located on the side farther away from the cargo channel;

[0049] The tail of the partition 2 is snapped into the first fixing member 4; a circuit board 6 is installed on the second fixing member 5;

[0050] The front end of the top of the gear box 301 abuts against the bottom of the first fixing member 4, and the rear end of the top of the gear box 301 abuts against the bottom of the second fixing member 5; the bottom of the gear box 301 is mounted on the rear end of the base plate of the mounting base 1. Meanwhile, to prevent the gear box 301 from moving along the length of the first fixing member 4, multiple first limiting holes 404 are provided on the first fixing member 4, and second limiting holes 3011 are provided on the gear box 301. A pin 7 is inserted into the first limiting holes 404 and the second limiting holes 3011 to restrict the movement of the gear box 301 along the length of the first fixing member 4.

[0051] In this embodiment, since gearboxes 301 may malfunction, when a gearbox 301 malfunctions, the pin 7 inserted into that gearbox 301 is removed, and the second fixing member 5 is removed from the first fixing member 4. At this time, the rear end of the top of the gearbox 301 will no longer be restricted by other parts and can rotate around the bottom of the gearbox 301 by a certain angle, so that the front end of the top of the gearbox 301 disengages from the first fixing member 4. At this time, the gearbox 301 and the pushing assembly 302 connected to the gearbox 301 can be removed together. This device only requires removing the pin 7 and the second fixing member 5 inserted into the malfunctioning gearbox 301 to remove the malfunctioning gearbox 301. Compared with the traditional method that requires removing all partitions 2, this embodiment is more convenient in disassembling the gearbox 301.

[0052] Furthermore, the first fixing member 4 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​portion 401, and the second fixing member 5 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​portion 501, the second snap-fit ​​portion 501 being snapped onto the first snap-fit ​​portion 401.

[0053] Furthermore, the first snap-fit ​​portion 401 is disposed on the side of the end of the first fixing member 4;

[0054] The second snap-fit ​​portion 501 is disposed at the end of the second fixing member 5.

[0055] Furthermore, a first fixing hole 4011 is provided on the first snap-fit ​​part 401, and a second fixing hole 5011 is provided on the second snap-fit ​​part 501. A fastener is provided between the first fixing hole 4011 and the second fixing hole 5011.

[0056] In this embodiment, a slot is provided in the first snap-fit ​​part 401, and a buckle is provided at the bottom of the second snap-fit ​​part 501. The second fastener 5 is fixed to the first fastener 4 by snapping into the slot through the buckle. Of course, in other embodiments, the slot can be provided in the second snap-fit ​​part 501, and the buckle can be provided in the first snap-fit ​​part 401. Furthermore, in order to prevent the second fastener 5 from being stably fixed to the first fastener 4 by snap-fit ​​due to failure of the buckle or other reasons, this embodiment also provides a backup first fixing hole 4011 and a second fixing hole 5011. The purpose of fixing the second fastener 5 to the first fastener 4 can also be achieved by fastening the first fixing hole 4011 and the second fixing hole 5011 with fasteners. As a preferred solution, the fastener can be a self-tapping screw. Of course, in other embodiments, a screw or other detachable connection method can also be used.

[0057] Furthermore, the first fixing member 4 is provided with a plurality of limiting blocks along the length direction, and the second fixing member 5 is provided with a plurality of limiting grooves along the length direction, the limiting grooves being fitted onto the limiting blocks from top to bottom.

[0058] Furthermore, the limiting block includes a plurality of large limiting blocks 402 and a plurality of small limiting blocks 403, and the limiting groove includes a plurality of large limiting grooves 502 and a plurality of small limiting grooves 503;

[0059] The large limiting block 402 is connected to the large limiting groove 502, and the small limiting block 403 is connected to the small limiting groove 503.

[0060] Furthermore, the large limiting block 402 includes a first connecting part 4021 and a first limiting part 4022; one end of the first connecting part 4021 is connected to the first fixing member 4, and the other end is connected to the first limiting part 4022; the first limiting part 4022 is slidably connected to the large limiting groove 502.

[0061] The small limiting block 403 includes a second connecting part 4031 and a second limiting part 4032; one end of the second connecting part 4031 is connected to the first fixing member 4, and the other end is connected to the second limiting part 4032; the second limiting part 4032 is slidably connected to the small limiting groove 503.

[0062] The length of the first connecting portion 4021 is greater than the length of the second connecting portion 4031;

[0063] The width of the first limiting part 4022 is greater than the width of the second limiting part 4032.

[0064] Furthermore, the first limiting part 4022 and the second limiting part 4032 are respectively designed as trapezoids with a smaller upper part and a larger lower part;

[0065] In this embodiment, since both the first fixing member 4 and the second fixing member 5 are slender workpieces, if the second fixing member 5 is only connected to the first fixing member 4 by its two ends, the second fixing member 5 will have poor stability. Therefore, by setting a limiting block on the first fixing member 4 and a limiting groove on the second fixing member 5, the second fixing member 5 can be more stably fixed to the first fixing member 4. In this embodiment, the limiting block includes a large limiting block 402 and a small limiting block 403. The effect of using the large limiting block 402 is better than that of using the small limiting block 403. However, if all the large limiting blocks 402 are used, the number of large limiting blocks 402 that can be arranged is limited due to their large volume. Therefore, a small limiting block 403 is added on the basis of the large limiting block 402, wherein the large limiting block 402 and the small limiting block 403 are arranged alternately. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first limiting part 4022 and the second limiting part 4032 are respectively designed as trapezoids with a smaller upper part and a larger lower part. This trapezoidal design with a smaller upper part and a larger lower part not only facilitates installation, but also provides an upward supporting force to the second fixing member.

[0066] Furthermore, the bottom of the first fixing member 4 is a first arc-shaped portion, and the height of the first arc-shaped portion near the cargo channel is lower than the height of the side away from the cargo channel;

[0067] The bottom of the second fixing member 5 is a second arc-shaped part, and the height of the second arc-shaped part on the side closer to the cargo channel is higher than the height on the side farther away from the cargo channel;

[0068] The top of the gear box 301 is in the form of a third arc shape, the front end of the third arc shape is in contact with the first arc shape, and the rear end of the third arc shape is in contact with the second arc shape.

[0069] In this embodiment, the first arc-shaped portion at the bottom of the first fixing member 4 is used to prevent the gear box 301 from moving towards the cargo channel and from moving vertically upward; the second arc-shaped portion at the bottom of the second fixing member 5 is used to prevent the gear box 301 from moving away from the cargo channel and from moving vertically upward; when it is necessary to remove the gear box 301 and rotate the gear box 301, since the top of the gear box 301 and the bottom of the first fixing member 4 are both arc-shaped, it is easier for the top of the gear box 301 to completely detach from the first arc-shaped portion when the gear box 301 is rotated.
