This device maintains a low-temperature environment inside the freezer through an intelligent temperature control system to ensure the quality of frozen foods. It also features an automatic vending mechanism for precise delivery and individual sales of items, completing transactions without human intervention. It is suitable for various retail scenarios such as convenience stores, shopping malls, and communities.

[0003] Traditional intelligent temperature-controlled automatic vending freezers have significant shortcomings in restocking and sales efficiency. Most freezers use a spring-driven vending structure, which is prone to jamming due to differences in the shape and weight of frozen items, leading to sales interruptions and impacting user experience and efficiency. Furthermore, restocking requires inserting items one by one into the spring gaps, a cumbersome and time-consuming operation, especially when restocking large quantities, significantly consuming staff time. Therefore, existing vending freezers reduce sales efficiency and fail to meet the demands of commercial retail for efficient operation and convenient restocking of vending machines. To address this, we propose an intelligent temperature-controlled automatic vending freezer. Utility Model Content

[0004] One of the technical problems this application aims to solve is that existing commercial retail freezers use a spring-driven vending structure, which is prone to jamming due to differences in the shape and weight of the items. When restocking, items need to be inserted one by one into the gaps between the springs, which is time-consuming and cannot meet the needs of commercial retail for efficient operation and convenient restocking of vending machines.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides an intelligent temperature-controlled automatic vending freezer, comprising a cabinet. Multiple guide rails are fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the cabinet, and a connecting groove is formed on each guide rail. A connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the guide rail, and a movable rod is movably connected to the outer wall of one side of the connecting shaft. A first limiting rod is fixedly connected to the upper end of the movable rod, and a second limiting rod is fixedly connected to the lower end of the movable rod. Multiple fixing plates are fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the cabinet, and a motor is fixedly connected to the upper outer wall of each fixing plate. A rotating shaft is connected to one side of the motor, and a cam is connected to the side of the rotating shaft away from the motor.

[0006] In some embodiments, a transparent plate is fixedly connected to one outer wall of the box, a display is fixedly connected to one outer wall of the transparent plate, a baffle is connected to the lower end of one side of the box, a collection block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of one inner wall of the box, multiple information display boards are fixedly connected to the upper end of one inner wall of the box, and multiple sealing blocks are movably connected to the back of the box.

[0007] In some embodiments, the first limiting rod and the second limiting rod connected to the movable rod on one side of the outer wall of the connecting shaft are both connected to the communicating groove opened on the guide rail.

[0008] In some embodiments, the upper end of the cam connected to one side of the motor via a rotating shaft is correspondingly connected to the lower end of the movable rod.

[0009] In some embodiments, a guide rail provided on one side of the inner wall of the box penetrates the interior of the box, with one end connected to the sealing block and the other end connected to the side of the box near the transparent plate.

[0010] In some embodiments, an information display panel is provided on one side of the inner wall of the box, near the guide rail.

[0011] In some embodiments, the lower end of the guide rail near the transparent plate is connected to the upper end of the collection block located at the bottom of the inner wall of the box.

[0012] In some embodiments, the guide rail has an inclination, with the side closer to the sealing block being higher than the side closer to the transparent plate.

[0013] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: In use, this utility model demonstrates outstanding performance in improving replenishment and sales efficiency through its automated vending structure, composed of a motor, rotating shaft, cam, movable rod, first limit rod, second limit rod, and guide rail. The guide rail is designed with an inclined angle, providing kinetic energy to the items for automatic transport. The motor drives the rotating shaft and cam to rotate, and the cam's shape characteristics cause the movable rod to shift up and down around the connecting shaft. Normally, the movable rod shifts downwards, and the first limit rod limits the items within the guide rail. During purchase, the movable rod shifts upwards, and the first and second limit rods rise simultaneously, allowing the items between the two limit rods to slide down the inclined surface of the guide rail to the collection block for sale. Simultaneously, the second limit rod isolates subsequent items, enabling individual sales. This structure eliminates the need for traditional spring drives, avoiding jamming issues. Furthermore, during replenishment, items do not need to be individually placed into the spring gaps; they can be directly filled into the guide rail via a sealing block on the back of the box, significantly shortening replenishment time and improving work efficiency. In terms of ease of operation and observation, the transparent panel, information display panel, monitor, collection block, and baffle play a crucial role in the design. The transparent panel, made of transparent material, allows users to easily view the items within the guide rail. The information display panel, positioned close to the guide rail, displays the corresponding item names and prices, enabling users to quickly understand product information. The monitor allows for easy selection of desired items. After an item is sold, it falls into the collection block, and the user can retrieve it by flipping the baffle, making the entire purchasing process intuitive and efficient.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an intelligent temperature-controlled automatic vending freezer, including a cabinet 1. Multiple guide rails 7 are fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the cabinet 1. A connecting groove 8 is opened on the guide rail 7. A connecting shaft 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the guide rail 7. A movable rod 10 is movably connected to one side of the outer wall of the connecting shaft 9. A first limiting rod 11 and a second limiting rod 12 connected to one side of the movable rod 10 on one side of the outer wall of the connecting shaft 9 are correspondingly connected to the connecting groove 8 opened on the guide rail 7. A first limiting rod 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper end of the movable rod 10. A second limiting rod 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the lower end of the movable rod 10. Multiple fixing plates 13 are fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the cabinet 1. A motor 14 is fixedly connected to the upper outer wall of the fixing plate 13. A rotating shaft 15 is connected to one side of the motor 14. A cam 16 is connected to the side of the rotating shaft 15 away from the motor 14. The upper end of the cam 16 connected to the side of the motor 14 through the rotating shaft 15 is correspondingly connected to the lower end of the movable rod 10.

[0018] In this embodiment, a housing 1 is designed with multiple guide rails 7 on one side of the inner wall of the housing 1. The guide rails 7 are inclined, thus imparting kinetic energy to the items, enabling them to be transported and then used for vending. Existing vending machines mostly use springs as the driving device, requiring each item to be placed in the gaps between the springs, which often takes a lot of time to replenish stock. To address this, multiple fixing plates 13 are provided on one side of the inner wall of the housing 1. A motor 14 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixing plate 13, and one side of the motor 14 is open to... A cam 16 is connected to the rotating shaft 15. One end of the cam 16 protrudes and can rotate around the rotating shaft 15. Therefore, when the motor 14 is started, the motor 14 drives the rotating shaft 15 to rotate, which in turn drives the cam 16 to rotate around the rotating shaft 15. A movable rod 10 is movably connected to one side of the outer wall of the guide rail 7 via a connecting shaft 9. The movable rod 10 has an upper layer and a lower layer, both of which are connected to the upper and lower outer walls of the guide rail 7. The lower outer wall of the movable rod 10 can be connected to the upper outer wall of the cam 16. A first limiting rod 11 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the upper side of the movable rod 10, and a second limiting rod 12 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the lower side of the movable rod 10. The first limiting rod 11 is close to the second limiting rod 12, and both are connected to the communicating groove 8 opened on the guide rail 7. Therefore, when the cam 16 rotates, it will drive the movable rod 10 to shift upward around the connecting shaft 9 as the axis due to its special shape. Under normal circumstances, the movable rod 10 will shift downward. At this time, the first limiting rod 11 will limit the items in the guide rail 7. When someone makes a purchase... The motor 14 will start, and then the cam 16 will drive the movable rod 10 to move upward. At this time, the first limit rod 11 and the second limit rod 12 will both rise upward. The items between the first limit rod 11 and the second limit rod 12 will slide into the collection block 5 due to the inclined surface of the guide rail 7 and then be sold. Items after the second limit rod 12 will be isolated by the raised second limit rod 12, thus completing the function of individual sales. There will be no jamming and no need to replenish the stock in turn, which greatly improves work efficiency.

[0019] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 1-2A transparent plate 2 is fixedly connected to one outer wall of the box body 1. A display 3 is fixedly connected to one outer wall of the transparent plate 2. A baffle 4 is connected to the lower end of one side of the box body 1. A collection block 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of one inner wall of the box body 1. The lower end of the guide rail 7 near the transparent plate 2 is correspondingly connected to the upper end of the collection block 5 at the bottom end of the inner wall of the box body 1. Multiple information display boards 6 are fixedly connected to the upper end of one inner wall of the box body 1. The side of the information display board 6 on the inner wall of the box body 1 is near the guide rail 7. Multiple sealing blocks 17 are movably connected to the back of the box body 1. The guide rail 7 has an inclination, and its side near the sealing block 17 is higher than the side near the transparent plate 2. The guide rail 7 on one inner wall of the box body 1 runs through the interior of the box body 1, and one end of it is correspondingly connected to the sealing block 17, and the other end is correspondingly connected to the side of the box body 1 near the transparent plate 2.

[0020] In this embodiment, a transparent panel 2 is provided on one outer wall of the box 1, and an information display panel 6 is connected between the box 1 and the transparent panel 2. The information display panel 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the box 1 and close to the guide rail 7, which can display the name of each corresponding guide rail 7 and indicate the price. The transparent panel 2 is made of transparent material, which can be viewed intuitively. A display 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the box 1. By operating the display 3, the desired items can be selected, thereby driving the device to perform the selling operation. A collection block 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the box. One side of the collection block 5 is close to the baffle 4 located at the lower end of the side of the box body 1. Therefore, when the items in the guide rail 7 are sold, they will fall into the collection block 5. At this time, the baffle 4 can be flipped to reach into the collection block 5 and then the items can be taken out, thus enabling automatic vending. A sealing block 17 is provided on the back side of the box body 1. The back of the box body 1 can be opened through the sealing block 17. The sealing block 17 is connected to each guide rail 7. Therefore, after the sealing block 17 is opened, the items in the guide rail 7 can be filled.
