Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toys, specifically a vending machine toy. Background Technology

[0002] Vending machine toys are children's toys that simulate real vending machines. They typically include basic functions such as coin insertion, product selection, and product drop, aiming to cultivate children's cognitive and hands-on abilities through interactive play. Currently, most vending machine toys on the market use complex linkage mechanisms to achieve product drop, such as levers, gears, pulleys, or electromagnetic drives. These mechanisms usually require multiple components to work precisely together to achieve the linkage between coin insertion and product drop, thus simulating the working process of a real vending machine.

[0003] However, this complex linkage mechanism has many drawbacks. First, the complex structure leads to high manufacturing costs and cumbersome assembly processes. Second, the complex linkage mechanism is prone to jamming or damage due to misoperation or overuse by children, making repairs inconvenient and affecting the toy's durability and lifespan. In addition, the operation process of this type of mechanism is often not intuitive enough, and children may have difficulty understanding the causal relationship between coin insertion and the falling of the product module, reducing the toy's educational value and user experience, which needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] One technical problem this application aims to solve is to overcome the deficiencies of the above-mentioned related technologies and provide a vending machine toy. This vending machine toy has an independent button in front of each corresponding product module, so that the product module and the button correspond one-to-one. Moreover, the mechanical connection structure is simple, which effectively prevents jamming or damage due to misoperation or overuse.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the technical problem is: a vending machine toy, comprising:

[0006] The box has an opening on one side;

[0007] A partition is disposed inside the box. The partition is vertically installed inside the box and divides the box into a first compartment and a second compartment. The first compartment is provided with a coin slot and a coin dispensing slot. The second compartment is provided with a storage compartment and a retrieval compartment. The storage compartment and the retrieval compartment are connected.

[0008] A material placement module assembly is installed inside the storage compartment. The first end of the material placement module assembly is connected to the inner wall of the box, and the second end is connected to the partition plate. The product module is placed on the material placement module assembly.

[0009] Multiple pusher module groups are installed on the product placement module group and located directly in front of the product module. Each pusher module group includes a button and a push plate fixed to the button. The push plate is used to push the product module backward, causing it to fall into the retrieval compartment. This invention features a separate pusher module group in front of each corresponding product module. Pushing the corresponding pusher module group causes the product module to fall to the bottom of the second compartment. This one-to-one correspondence between product module pusher module groups allows children to operate the vending machine toy more intuitively. Furthermore, the vending machine toy has a simple mechanical connection structure, preventing damage caused by children's misoperation or frequent use.

[0010] Preferably, the material placement module assembly includes a material placement plate for placing the product module and a mounting plate perpendicularly connected to one side of the material placement plate. The material placement plate has a clearance groove, and the mounting plate has a clearance hole. The clearance groove and the clearance hole connect to form a receiving cavity, and the pushing module assembly is installed in the receiving cavity and is slidable. The receiving cavity provides sufficient space for the movement of the pushing module assembly, thereby ensuring that the pushing module assembly can move smoothly and without obstruction during operation, effectively avoiding interference or friction caused by insufficient space.

[0011] Preferably, a guide rod is connected to the end of the button, and a guide hole is provided on the material placement plate. The end of the guide rod passes through the guide hole and is slidable. A spring is sleeved on the guide rod, with the first end of the spring abutting against the inner wall of the clearance groove and the second end abutting against the end of the button. The spring ensures that the material pushing module assembly can automatically return to its initial position after the pressing action is completed, preparing for the next operation and improving the convenience and reliability of use.

[0012] Preferably, the button is provided with a limiting groove, the limiting groove including a support surface, one side of the support surface extending axially upward to form a limiting surface for axially limiting the push plate, and the push plate is mounted on the support surface. The design of the support surface and the limiting surface ensures the firm connection between the push plate and the button, preventing the push plate from swinging or falling off during the process of pushing the product module.

[0013] Preferably, the push plate has a pushing surface located at the rear end of the button and its thickness is greater than the width of the supporting surface. This design allows the product module to be pushed with a shorter pushing distance, making it easier for children to operate.

[0014] Preferably, the guide rod passes through the through hole and connects to the limiting block. The limiting block abuts against the material placement plate and axially limits the guide rod. By abutting against the side wall of the material placement plate, the limiting block prevents the connecting rod from dislodging from the receiving cavity when the spring returns to its original position, thus avoiding malfunction of the entire pushing module assembly.

[0015] Preferably, a baffle is hinged to the retrieval compartment, and the baffle has an arc-shaped groove for inserting a finger and facilitating the opening of the baffle. The arc-shaped groove provides a point of leverage and folding space for children's fingers, making the action of opening the baffle and retrieving the product module more effortless and easier.

[0016] The enclosure includes a bottom plate and a top plate, with a back plate and a partition plate installed between them. The bottom plate has a first mounting groove, and the top plate has a second mounting groove. The first end of the back plate and the partition plate are mounted in the first mounting groove, and the second end is mounted in the second mounting groove. The design of the first and second mounting grooves provides reliable connection stability for the back plate and the partition plate, making the overall structure more robust. It also enables rapid positioning and installation.

[0017] Preferably, the partition plate is provided with a slot, the first end of the material placement plate is installed in the slot, and the second end is fixed to the inner wall of the box. The slot structure enables the fixing plate to be quickly and accurately placed into the predetermined position during assembly, and also enhances the structural rigidity and stability of the entire fixing assembly, preventing it from loosening during frequent use.

[0018] Preferably, the first compartment is equipped with a card reader. This design expands the toy's payment simulation function, allowing it to go beyond traditional coin payments and simulate modern contactless or card payments, thus enhancing the toy's fun.

[0019] Compared with related technologies, this invention has the following advantages: intuitive operation, balancing education and fun: a corresponding button is set in front of each product module, combined with a spring reset function, effectively preventing jamming or damage due to misoperation or overuse. Furthermore, this invention implements the intuitive operation logic of "pressing the corresponding button in front of the product module will drop the corresponding product module." Children can clearly and directly understand the correspondence between action and result, without being confused by complex internal mechanisms, greatly enhancing the interactive fun and educational value of the toy.

[0031] First, those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely used to explain the technical principles of the embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the embodiments of this application. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios.

[0032] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] like Figures 1-10 As shown, a vending machine toy includes:

[0034] Box 1, with an opening on one side;

[0035] A partition 104 is disposed inside the box 1. The partition 104 is vertically installed inside the box and divides the box 1 into a first compartment and a second compartment. The first compartment is provided with a coin slot 201 and a coin outlet 202. The second compartment is provided with a storage compartment and a retrieval compartment. The storage compartment and the retrieval compartment are connected.

[0036] A material placement module assembly is installed inside the storage compartment. The first end of the material placement module assembly is connected to the inner wall of the box 1, and the second end is connected to the partition plate 104. The commodity module 14 is placed on the material placement module assembly.

[0037] There are multiple pusher module groups, which are installed on the material placement module group and located in front of the product module 14. Each pusher module group includes a button 7 and a push plate 8 fixed to the button. The push plate 8 is used to push the product module 14 backward and make it fall into the retrieval compartment.

[0038] This embodiment provides a vending machine toy for children's entertainment, including: a housing 1, which is generally rectangular in shape with an opening on one side of its front for user operation and observation of the interior; a partition 104, which is vertically installed inside the housing 1 and divides the housing 1 into two independent compartments, namely a first compartment and a second compartment. The first compartment is equipped with multiple coin slots for children to insert and retrieve coins, while the second compartment is mainly used for storing and retrieving various merchandise modules; and a material storage module assembly, which is fixedly installed on... Inside the second compartment, the first end of the module group is connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, and the second end is detachably connected to the partition plate 104. Multiple product modules 14 can be arranged sequentially and placed on top of this material placement module group. In addition, the device is also equipped with multiple pusher module groups, which are respectively installed on the material placement module group. Each pusher module group includes an exposed button 7 and a push plate 8 fixed to the button. The push plate 8 can increase the contact area with the product module 14, thereby enabling the product module 14 to be pushed with less force, which is more suitable for children's use. Each product module 14 corresponds to an independent pusher module group. When a child presses the button, the push plate 8 will push the corresponding product module 14 axially, causing it to move and fall to the bottom of the second compartment for the child to take away.

[0039] The overall operation process is intuitive and simple, making it easy for children to understand and master. Furthermore, the one-to-one correspondence between the product module 14 and the pusher module not only enhances ease of use but also simplifies the mechanical connection mechanism, effectively preventing damage to the toy caused by children's misoperation or repeated improper use, thereby increasing the toy's durability and safety.

[0040] Furthermore, the material placement module assembly includes a material placement plate 5 for placing the product module 14 and a mounting plate 301 vertically connected to one side thereof. The material placement plate 5 has a strip-shaped clearance groove 501, and the mounting plate 301 has a corresponding clearance hole 601 at a corresponding position. Through the alignment and communication of the clearance groove 501 and the clearance hole 601, they together form a receiving cavity. The material pushing module assembly is installed in this receiving cavity and can slide smoothly within the cavity.

[0041] In this embodiment, this structural design ensures smooth and unobstructed displacement of the drive components during operation, effectively avoiding mechanical interference or friction problems that may be caused by limited space, thereby improving the operational stability and service life of the entire device. Furthermore, the design of the clearance hole 601 radially limits the displacement of the pusher module assembly, further enhancing the sliding stability of the pusher module assembly.

[0042] Furthermore, a guide rod 9 is fixedly connected to the end of the button 7, and the extension direction of the guide rod 9 is consistent with the movement direction of the button 7. The end of the guide rod 9 away from the button 7 passes through a pre-set through hole structure on the material plate 5 and can slide freely axially within the through hole. A spring 10 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 9, and the spring 10 can also slide axially along the guide rod 9. Its first end is in contact with and abuts against the inner wall of the relief groove 501, and its second end abuts against the end surface of the button 7 near the guide rod 9, thereby forming an elastic support structure.

[0043] In this embodiment, the design of the spring 10 ensures that the pusher module group can automatically and promptly return to its initial position after each pressing operation, thus preparing for the next operation. This not only significantly improves the ease of use but also greatly enhances the reliability and durability of the entire mechanism.

[0044] Furthermore, the button 7 is provided with a limiting groove, which includes a support surface 701. One side of the support surface 701 extends axially upward to form a limiting surface 702. The support surface 701 and the limiting surface 702 are connected to form an L-shaped structure. The push plate 8 is installed on the support surface 701, and the limiting surface 702 can limit the axis of the push plate during installation.

[0045] In this embodiment, the design of the support surface 701 and the limiting surface 702 greatly enhances the connection between the push plate 8 and the button 7 and the structural stability, effectively preventing the push plate 8 from swinging unnecessarily or falling off due to force during the process of pushing the product module 14, thereby ensuring the working reliability and service life of the entire device.

[0046] Furthermore, the push plate is provided with a pushing surface, which is located at the rear end of the button 7 and has a thickness greater than the width of the support surface 701.

[0047] In this embodiment, this design allows children to push the product module 14 with less force on the button 7, preventing the situation where the push plate 8 cannot move enough to push the product module 14 when the spring 10 can no longer elastically deform, thus further facilitating children's operation.

[0048] Furthermore, a limiting block 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the guide rod 9 that passes through the material plate. When the guide rod 9 moves in the reset direction under the force of the spring 10, the limiting block 11 can abut against the side wall of the material plate 5, effectively preventing the guide rod 9 or the button 7 from disengaging from the receiving cavity.

[0049] In this embodiment, the design of the limiting block 11 not only ensures that the guide rod 9 always stays on the predetermined trajectory and position during operation, but also fundamentally prevents the entire pusher module from malfunctioning due to the guide rod 9 or button 7 coming out of the receiving cavity, thereby significantly improving the reliability and service life of the device.

[0050] Furthermore, the retrieval compartment is hinged to a baffle 6, which has an arc-shaped groove 13 for inserting a finger and facilitating the opening of the baffle 6.

[0051] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped groove 13 provides a comfortable point of application for children and sufficient space for folding operations. This design not only enhances the convenience of opening the baffle but also significantly reduces the force required during operation, making it easier and simpler for children to open the baffle and take out the product module 14.

[0052] Furthermore, the enclosure includes a bottom plate 101 and a top plate 102. A back plate 103 and a partition plate 104 are installed between the bottom plate 101 and the top plate 102. The bottom plate 101 has a first mounting groove 101a, and the top plate 102 has a second mounting groove 102a. The first end of the back plate 103 and the partition plate 104 are installed in the first mounting groove 101a, and the second end is installed in the second groove 102a. At the same time, the end face of the back plate 103 abuts against the side wall of the partition plate 104.

[0053] In this embodiment, the design of the first mounting slot 101a and the second mounting slot 102a not only enhances the stability of the structure connecting the back plate 103 and the partition plate 104 between the bottom plate 101 and the top plate 102, but also effectively ensures the firmness of the connection and the accuracy of the position between the components. At the same time, the design of the first mounting slot 101a and the second mounting slot 102a helps children to quickly and accurately position the device when assembling the vending machine toy, making installation more convenient.

[0054] Furthermore, the partition plate 104 is provided with a slot 104a. The length of the material placement plate 5 is greater than the length of the mounting plate 301. The part of the material placement plate 5 that is longer than the mounting plate 301 is engaged in the slot 104a. That is, the first end of the material placement plate 5 is engaged through the mounting slot 104a, and the second end is connected to the inner wall of the box 1 by bolts.

[0055] In this embodiment, the structural design of the slot 104a not only achieves rapid positioning but also provides stable and reliable support. This structural design allows the material placement plate 5 to be quickly and accurately placed into the pre-set position during assembly, significantly improving installation efficiency and accuracy. Furthermore, this installation method significantly enhances the structural rigidity and overall stability of the entire fixing assembly, effectively preventing loosening or displacement problems that may occur during frequent use, thereby ensuring the long-term reliable operation of the equipment.

[0056] Furthermore, the first compartment is equipped with a card reader 12, which is a decorative piece. Children can slide their cards on the card reader 12 to achieve the function of swiping cards instead of inserting coins.

[0057] In this embodiment, the design of the card reader 12 greatly expands the toy's payment simulation function, enabling it not only to simulate traditional coin-operated payment methods but also to realistically reproduce modern contactless or card payment scenarios. By introducing this diversified payment mechanism, the overall interactivity and educational value of the toy are significantly enhanced, allowing children to more comprehensively understand and experience the operation processes of different payment methods while playing, thereby strengthening their real-life cognition and hands-on skills, and further improving the toy's fun and practicality.

[0058] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
