Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vending machine technology, and in particular to a dispensing device and an automatic vending machine. 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, representing a new form of commercial retail, often referred to as 24-hour mini-supermarkets. Furthermore, with market changes, vending machines have evolved into various styles, including those selling items such as pizzas.

[0003] When using vending machines, products need to be placed in the storage unit for refrigeration or freezing to maintain their quality over a long period. During use, the product is retrieved from the storage unit using a dispensing device and delivered to the dispensing port or the next processing step. For vending machines such as automatic pizza machines and automatic lunchbox machines where products require heating, the dispensing device delivers the product to a secondary compartment, where a transport device carries it to the heating unit for heating before it is delivered to the dispensing port.

[0004] Existing vending machines have a gap between the main and auxiliary cabinets, so the dispensing device can only deliver a portion of the product to the auxiliary cabinet, leaving some stuck at the sealed door between the main and auxiliary cabinets. This poses a risk of the product falling out after the dispensing device returns to its original position. While some vending machines add a mechanism to the auxiliary cabinet that extends into the main cabinet to receive the product, this inevitably increases the production cost of the vending machine.

[0005] In view of this, a new technical solution is needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

The first transmission belt is sleeved on the first transmission wheel set. The fixed end of the fixing member is connected to the first transmission belt. The push plate is mounted on the first transmission belt. When the mounting plate moves on the mounting base, the first transmission belt drives the push plate to move.

[0044] Example 1

[0045] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the picking device includes a mounting base 1, an X-axis moving mechanism 2, and a Z-axis moving mechanism 3. The X-axis moving mechanism 2 and the Z-axis moving mechanism are respectively mounted on the mounting base 1. The Z-axis moving mechanism 3 is provided with a temporary storage station 4 for storing products. The Z-axis moving mechanism 3 is used to pick up products from the storage device to the storage station. The X-axis moving mechanism 2 is used to push products from the storage station to the auxiliary cabinet. In a further technical solution, the X-axis moving mechanism 2 includes: a drive mechanism 21, mounted on the mounting base 1; a transmission mechanism 22, mounted on the mounting base 1, with its input end connected to the drive mechanism 21; and a pushing mechanism 23, mounted on the output end of the transmission mechanism 22, with a push plate 231 for pushing products at the output end. The transmission mechanism 22 is used to push the push plate 231 through the pushing mechanism 23 for a first-level push, and the pushing mechanism 23 is used to drive the push plate 231 for a second-level push.

[0046] The drive mechanism 21 drives the transmission mechanism 22 to operate. The transmission mechanism 22 drives the push plate 231 to perform a first-stage push through the push mechanism 23. The push mechanism 23 then drives the push plate 231 to perform a second-stage push, thereby completely pushing the product from the main cabinet to the auxiliary cabinet, reducing the risk of the product falling. The structure is simple and the cost is low.

[0047] In a further specific embodiment, the actuating mechanism 23 includes:

[0048] Mounting plate 232 is slidably mounted on the output end of the transmission mechanism 22 and the mounting base 1;

[0049] The first transmission component 233 is installed on the mounting plate 232, and its output end is connected to the push plate 231 to drive the push plate 231 to move.

[0050] The fixing member 236 is installed on the mounting base 1, and its fixed end is connected to the first transmission assembly 233.

[0051] When the drive mechanism 21 drives the transmission mechanism 22 to operate, the mounting plate 232 moves on the mounting base 1, that is, it moves from the inner end of the temporary storage station 4 to the outer end, thereby driving the push plate 231 to move through the first transmission component 233, thereby completing the transfer of the product and pushing the product completely from the temporary storage station 4 into the auxiliary cabinet.

[0052] In a further specific embodiment, the first transmission component 233 includes a first transmission wheel set 2331 and a first transmission belt 2332. The first transmission belt 2332 is sleeved on the first transmission wheel set 2331. The fixed end of the fixing member 236 is connected to the first transmission belt 2332. The push plate 231 is installed on the first transmission belt 2332. When the mounting plate 232 moves on the mounting base 1, the first transmission belt 2332 drives the push plate 231 to move.

[0053] In this embodiment, the position of the first transmission belt 2332 is fixed by the fixing member 236. When the mounting plate 232 moves, the fixing member 236 clamps the first transmission belt 2332 and keeps it stationary. Therefore, as the mounting plate 232 gradually moves towards the outer end of the mounting base 1, the first transmission wheel set 2331 and the first transmission belt 2332 will drive the push plate 231 to move towards the outer end of the mounting base 1, thereby completing the transfer of the product.

[0054] It should be noted that when the device is at the origin, the fixing member 236 clamps the first transmission belt 2332, the fixing member 236 is located at the upper left end of the first transmission belt 2332, and the push plate 231 is located at the lower right end of the first transmission belt 2332. This allows for sufficient travel for the push plate 231 to move.

[0055] In a further specific embodiment, the pushing mechanism 23 further includes a first guide component 234, which includes a first slider 2341 and a first guide rail 2342. The first guide rail 2342 is mounted on the mounting base 1, one side of the first slider 2341 is mounted on the mounting plate 232, and the other side of the first slider 2341 is slidably mounted on the first guide rail 2342.

[0056] The first slider 2341 and the first guide rail 2342 work together to guide the movement of the mounting plate 232, reducing friction during movement and increasing stability during movement.

[0057] In a further specific embodiment, the pushing mechanism 23 further includes a second guide component 235, which includes a second slider 2351 and a second guide rail 2352. The second guide rail 2352 is mounted on the mounting plate 232. One side of the second slider 2351 is slidably mounted on the mounting plate 232, and the push plate 231 is mounted on the other side of the second slider 2351.

[0058] The movement of the push plate 231 is guided by the cooperation of the first slider 2341 and the first guide rail 2342, reducing friction during movement and increasing stability during movement.

[0059] In a further specific embodiment, the pushing mechanism 23 further includes a connector 237, the top of which is connected to the mounting plate 232, and the bottom of which is connected to the output end of the transmission mechanism 22.

[0060] By setting the connector 237, the mounting plate 232 is installed on the output end of the transmission mechanism 22. When the transmission mechanism 22 is running, the connector 237 drives the mounting plate 232 to move between the third transmission belt 2212 and the third transmission wheel set 2211.

[0061] In a further specific embodiment, the mounting plate 232 has a mounting block 2321, and the upper end of the connector 237 has a mounting hole 2371. The mounting block 2321 passes through the mounting hole 2371, and the connector 237 is fixed to the mounting plate 232 through the mounting hole 2371 and the mounting block 2321.

[0062] With the installation block 2321 and the installation hole 2371, when installing the connector 237, the upper end of the connector 237 can be directly fixed to the installation block 2321 of the mounting plate 232 through the installation hole 2371. The structure is simple and easy to install. In addition, it can be quickly disassembled during later maintenance or repair, which improves installation efficiency and reduces the labor intensity of workers.

[0063] In a further specific embodiment, the transmission mechanism 22 includes a third transmission component 221, which includes a third transmission wheel set 2211 and a third transmission belt 2212. The first transmission wheel set is mounted on the mounting base 1, the third transmission belt 2212 is sleeved on the third transmission wheel set 2211, the output end of the drive mechanism 21 is connected to the third transmission wheel set 2211, and the connecting member 237 is connected to the third transmission belt 2212.

[0064] It should be noted that the drive mechanism 21 in this embodiment uses a rotary motor. The rotary motor drives the third transmission wheel set 2211 to rotate, thereby causing the third conveyor belt to rotate around the third transmission wheel set 2211. With the cooperation of the connecting member 237, the mounting plate 232 is driven to move around the third transmission wheel set 2211. This achieves the first-stage push of the push plate 231.

[0065] In a further specific embodiment, the transmission mechanism 22 further includes a third guide component 222, which includes a third slider 2221 and a third guide rail 2222. The third guide rail 2222 is mounted on the mounting base 1, and the third slider 2221 is slidably mounted on the third guide rail 2222. The lower end of the connector 237 is mounted on the third slider 2221.

[0066] The third guide component 222 guides the movement of the mounting plate 232, reducing friction during movement and increasing stability.
