Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vending machine technology, and in particular to a tableware dispensing device and a 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. They represent a new form of commercial retail and are also known as 24-hour mini-supermarkets. Furthermore, with market changes, vending machines have emerged in various styles, such as those selling pizzas, noodles, rice noodles, and rice noodle rolls.

[0003] These vending machines typically require goods to be placed in a storage unit for refrigeration or freezing to maintain their quality over a long period. During use, a conveying device removes the goods from the storage unit, places them in a heating unit for heating, and then removes them from the storage unit and delivers them to the dispensing port.

[0004] Typically, heated products, such as pizza, are served as a single piece and need to be cut with a knife before being eaten with a fork; similarly, noodles, rice noodles, and rice rolls require chopsticks or a fork. Therefore, vending machines selling these types of products are equipped with cutlery dispensing devices to deliver pre-prepared cutlery to the food or beverage dispenser. Existing cutlery dispensing devices, such as those described in Chinese Utility Model Patent Application No. 202421225139.1, use a drive mechanism to move a pusher between a storage mechanism and a mounting base. This causes the cutlery box located in the storage mechanism to pass sequentially through the second, third, and first dispensing troughs and fall into the pizza machine's dispensing port, thus completing the dispensing from both storage chambers. While this technical solution effectively dispenses cutlery, the lightweight nature of the cutlery boxes makes them prone to jamming when dispensing the last box.

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

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a tableware device and an automatic vending machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of this utility model provides a tableware dispensing device, comprising: a mounting base installed on the vending machine housing; a storage mechanism installed on the mounting base for placing a tableware box, with a dispensing trough at the lower end for the tableware box to pass through; and a driving mechanism installed on the mounting base, with a pushing component installed at the output end for driving the pushing component into the storage mechanism to push the tableware box out of the dispensing trough.

[0008] In a further technical solution, the storage mechanism has at least two storage cavities, and a discharge trough is respectively opened at the lower end of one of the storage cavities. The pushing component includes push blocks corresponding to the number of storage cavities, and each push block is respectively installed at the output end of the driving mechanism and located at the lower end of one of the storage cavities.

[0009] In a further technical solution, the storage mechanism has two storage cavities, and the pushing component includes a first pushing block and a second pushing block. The first pushing block and the second pushing block are respectively installed at the output end of the driving mechanism and located at the lower ends of the two storage cavities. When the first pushing block enters the storage mechanism to push the tableware box, the second pushing block exits the storage mechanism. When the first pushing block exits the storage mechanism, the second pushing block enters the storage mechanism to push the tableware box.

[0010] In a further technical solution, the driving mechanism includes a driving component, a first transmission component, and a second transmission component. The driving component is mounted on the mounting base, and the first transmission component and the second transmission component are respectively mounted on the output end of the driving component. The first push block is mounted on the output end of the first transmission component, and the second push block is mounted on the output end of the second transmission component.

[0011] In a further technical solution, the drive assembly includes a drive element, a drive shaft, and a transmission shaft. The drive element is mounted on the mounting base. The first end of the drive shaft is mounted on the output end of the drive element. The second end of the drive shaft is mounted on the mounting base. Both ends of the transmission shaft are respectively mounted on the mounting base. The two ends of the first transmission assembly and the second transmission assembly are respectively mounted on the drive shaft and the transmission shaft.

[0012] In a further technical solution, the first transmission assembly includes a first synchronous pulley, a second synchronous pulley, and a first synchronous belt. The first synchronous pulley is mounted on the drive shaft, the second synchronous pulley is mounted on the transmission shaft, the first synchronous belt is sleeved on the first synchronous pulley and the second synchronous pulley, and the first push block is mounted on the first synchronous belt.

[0013] In a further technical solution, the second transmission assembly includes a third synchronous pulley, a fourth synchronous pulley, and a second synchronous belt. The third synchronous pulley is mounted on the drive shaft, the fourth synchronous pulley is mounted on the transmission shaft, the second synchronous belt is sleeved on the third and fourth synchronous pulleys, and the second push block is mounted on the second synchronous belt.

[0014] In a further technical solution, the top of the mounting base has a first through slot for the passage of the first push block and a second through slot for the passage of the second push block, wherein the length and width of the first through slot and the second through slot are smaller than the length and width of the tableware box, respectively.

[0015] In a further technical solution, the storage mechanism includes a storage rack, and a partition is installed inside the storage rack. The partition divides the storage rack into two storage chambers, and multiple tableware boxes are placed in the two storage chambers respectively.

[0016] In a further technical solution, the side of the storage rack has a window for observing the remaining amount of tableware boxes, and the lower end of the storage rack is equipped with a photoelectric detection mechanism for detecting whether there are tableware boxes.

[0017] Secondly, this utility model also provides an automatic vending machine, including a tableware dispensing device.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, this utility model brings the following technical effects:

[0019] The tableware dispensing device of this utility model directly uses a drive mechanism to push the push component to push the tableware box out of the storage cavity, which avoids the problem of jamming. The structure is simple, the failure rate is reduced, and the production cost is lowered.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] See Figure 1-5 As shown, the tableware dispensing device includes: a mounting base 1, installed on the vending machine housing; a storage mechanism 2, installed on the mounting base 1, for holding tableware boxes 5, with a dispensing slot 21 at its lower end for the tableware boxes 5 to pass through; and a drive mechanism 3, installed on the mounting base 1, with a pushing component 4 installed at its output end, for driving the pushing component 4 into the storage mechanism 2 to push the tableware boxes 5 out of the dispensing slot 21. Compared with the prior art, this embodiment directly uses the drive mechanism 3 to drive the pushing component 4 to push the tableware boxes 5 out of the storage cavity 22, thereby avoiding the problem of jamming, simplifying the structure, reducing the failure rate, and lowering production costs.

[0041] In a further specific embodiment, the storage mechanism 2 has at least two storage cavities 22, and a discharge trough 21 is respectively opened at the lower end of one of the storage cavities 22. The pushing component 4 includes push blocks corresponding to the number of storage cavities 22. Each push block is respectively installed at the output end of the driving mechanism 3 and located at the lower end of one of the storage cavities 22.

[0042] In this embodiment, the pusher blocks are driven to push the tableware box 5 out of the storage cavity 22, thereby completing the action of discharging the tableware box 5. It should be noted that the multiple pusher blocks in this embodiment are arranged alternately in front and behind. When discharging the tableware box 5, at least one pusher block pushes a tableware box 5 out of the storage cavity 22, and at least one pusher block is prepared to push a tableware box 5 out of the storage cavity 22.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the storage mechanism 2 of this embodiment has two storage cavities 22. The pushing component 4 includes a first pushing block 41 and a second pushing block 42. The first pushing block 41 and the second pushing block 42 are respectively installed at the output end of the driving mechanism 3 and are respectively located at the lower end of the two storage cavities 22. When the first pushing block 41 enters the storage mechanism 2 to push the tableware box 5, the second pushing block 42 exits the storage mechanism 2. When the first pushing block 41 exits the storage mechanism 2, the second pushing block 42 enters the storage mechanism 2 to push the tableware box 5.

[0044] In other specific embodiments, the number of storage cavities 22 can be appropriately increased according to actual usage needs and the remaining space of the vending machine, so as to increase the replenishment cycle of the tableware box 5.

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown in a further specific embodiment, the driving mechanism 3 includes a driving component 31, a first transmission component 32, and a second transmission component 33. The driving component 31 is mounted on the mounting base 1. The first transmission component 32 and the second transmission component 33 are respectively mounted on the output end of the driving component 31. The first push block 41 is mounted on the output end of the first transmission component 32, and the second push block 42 is mounted on the output end of the second transmission component 33.

[0046] This configuration allows the drive assembly 31 to simultaneously drive the first transmission assembly 32 and the second transmission assembly 33. Since the first pusher 41 and the second pusher 42 are arranged alternately, when the first pusher 41 enters the corresponding storage cavity 22 to push the tableware box 5 out, the second pusher 42 exits the corresponding storage cavity 22; conversely, when the second pusher 42 enters the corresponding storage cavity 22 to push the tableware box 5 out, the first pusher 41 exits the corresponding storage cavity 22. Specifically, the first pusher 41 enters the storage cavity 22 through the first through groove 11, and the second pusher 42 enters the storage cavity 22 through the second through groove 12.

[0047] like Figure 5As shown in a further specific embodiment, the drive assembly 31 includes a drive element 311, a drive shaft 312, and a transmission shaft 313. The drive element 311 is mounted on the mounting base 1. The first end of the drive shaft 312 is mounted on the output end of the drive element 311, and the second end of the drive shaft 312 is mounted on the mounting base 1. Both ends of the transmission shaft 313 are respectively mounted on the mounting base 1. The two ends of the first transmission assembly 32 and the second transmission assembly 33 are respectively mounted on the drive shaft 312 and the transmission shaft 313. This arrangement has a compact structure, a reasonable layout, and stable and reliable transmission.

[0048] It is understood that the drive component 311 in this embodiment is a worm gear motor, and the worm gear motor is connected to the drive shaft 312 via a coupling.

[0049] In other specific embodiments, the drive unit 311 can also be directly selected from stepper motors, servo motors, geared motors, hydraulic motors or pneumatic motors.

[0050] Drive shaft 312 can also be directly the output shaft of the motor;

[0051] Depending on the working conditions, the coupling can be selected from flexible couplings, universal couplings, diaphragm couplings, or bellows couplings.

[0052] The first transmission component 32 and the second transmission component 33 can also be selected from chain and sprocket drives, gear drives, or linkage mechanisms, so as to realize the delivery of the tableware box 5 by pushing the first push block 41 and the second push block 42.

[0053] In a further specific embodiment, the first transmission component 32 includes a first synchronous pulley 321, a second synchronous pulley 322, and a first synchronous belt 323. The first synchronous pulley 321 is mounted on the drive shaft 312, the second synchronous pulley 322 is mounted on the transmission shaft 313, the first synchronous belt 323 is sleeved on the first synchronous pulley 321 and the second synchronous pulley 322, and the first push block 41 is mounted on the first synchronous belt 323.

[0054] The drive shaft 312 is fitted with two first bearings 314, which are respectively installed on both sides of the mounting base 1. The first bearings 314 support the drive shaft 312, enabling the drive shaft 312 to drive the first synchronous pulley 321 and the third synchronous pulley 331 to rotate.

[0055] It is understood that in other specific embodiments, only one first bearing 314 may be used. The first side of the mounting base 1 can be directly drilled, and the drive shaft 312 can directly pass through the first side of the mounting base 1. The first bearing 314 is mounted on the second side of the mounting base 1, that is, the opposite side of the drive assembly 31. The first synchronous pulley 321 and the third synchronous pulley 331 are mounted on the drive shaft 312. When the drive member 311 drives the drive shaft 312 to rotate, the drive shaft 312 drives the first synchronous pulley 321 and the third synchronous pulley 331 to rotate.

[0056] In this embodiment, the transmission shaft 313 is fitted with two second bearings 315. The inner rings of the two second bearings 315 are fitted onto the transmission shaft 313. The second synchronous pulley 322 and the fourth synchronous pulley 332 are respectively fitted onto the two second bearings 315. The two ends of the transmission shaft 313 are respectively installed on the first side and the second side of the mounting base 1.

[0057] Adjusting blocks 316 are installed at both ends of the drive shaft 313, and the adjusting blocks 316 have slots. The adjusting blocks 316 are installed on the mounting base 1 through the slots. The position of the drive shaft 313 can be adjusted by setting the adjusting blocks 316, so that the first synchronous belt 323 and the second synchronous belt 333 can be tightened.

[0058] like Figure 5 As shown, in other specific embodiments, the inner rings of the two second bearings 315 are fitted onto the drive shaft 313, the two second bearings 315 are respectively mounted on the adjusting block 316, and the second synchronous pulley 322 and the fourth synchronous pulley 332 are respectively mounted on the drive shaft 313;

[0059] When the driving component 311 drives the first synchronous pulley 321 to rotate, the first synchronous pulley 321 drives the second synchronous pulley 322 to rotate through the first synchronous belt 323;

[0060] When the drive component 311 drives the third synchronous pulley 331 to rotate, the third synchronous pulley 331 drives the fourth synchronous pulley 332 to rotate via the second synchronous belt 333.

[0061] like Figure 5 As shown in a further specific embodiment, the second transmission component 33 includes a third synchronous pulley 331, a fourth synchronous pulley 332, and a second synchronous belt 333. The third synchronous pulley 331 is mounted on the drive shaft 312, the fourth synchronous pulley 332 is mounted on the transmission shaft 313, the second synchronous belt 333 is sleeved on the third synchronous pulley 331 and the fourth synchronous pulley 332, and the second push block 42 is mounted on the second synchronous belt 333.

[0062] It should be noted that when the first push block 41 is located in the middle of the upper section of the first synchronous belt 323, the second push block 42 is located in the middle of the lower section of the second synchronous belt 333.

[0063] Compared with the existing technology, the drive mechanism 3 needs to drive the push block to move back and forth between the two storage chambers 22 by rotating the screw in both directions to complete the delivery. This technical solution only requires the drive component 311 to rotate in the forward direction to drive the first synchronous belt 323 and the second synchronous belt 333 to rotate respectively.

[0064] In a further specific embodiment, the top of the mounting base 1 has a first through groove 11 for the passage of the first push block 41 and a second through groove 12 for the passage of the second push block 42. The width of the first through groove 11 and the second through groove 12 is less than the width of the tableware box 5, and the length of the first through groove 11 and the second through groove 12 within the storage cavity 22 is less than the length of the tableware box 5.

[0065] This design ensures that when the cutlery box 5 falls to the bottom of the storage cavity 22, no parts will obstruct it, thus preventing jamming. It is understood that the length and width of the cross-section of the storage cavity 22 are at least 2mm greater than the length and width of the cutlery box 5.

[0066] In a further specific embodiment, the storage mechanism 2 includes a storage rack 23, and a partition 24 is installed inside the storage rack 23. The partition 24 divides the storage rack 23 into two storage chambers 22, and multiple tableware boxes 5 are placed in the two storage chambers 22 respectively.

[0067] The partition 24 separates the two storage chambers 22 to prevent jamming when dispensing the tableware box 5.

[0068] In a further specific embodiment, the storage rack 23 has a window 231 on its side for observing the remaining amount of tableware box 5, and the lower end of the storage rack 23 is equipped with a photoelectric detection mechanism 6 for detecting whether there is tableware box 5.

[0069] The remaining amount of cutlery box 5 can be observed through the settings of window 231, so that cutlery box 5 can be replenished in a timely manner.

[0070] The photoelectric detection mechanism 6 includes a photoelectric transmitter 61 and a photoelectric receiver 62. The photoelectric transmitter 61 and the photoelectric receiver 62 are respectively disposed on both sides of the storage rack 23. The storage rack 23 has a first through hole on each side and a second through hole on the partition 24. The two first through holes and the second through hole are in a straight line, so that the photoelectric transmitter 61 and the photoelectric receiver 62 can receive and transmit signals through the first through hole and the second through hole.

[0071] When there is no cutlery box 5 in the storage chamber 22, the photoelectric detection mechanism 6 transmits the information to the control system of the vending machine. The control system then uploads the information to the server terminal to promptly remind the vending machine staff to replenish the cutlery box 5.

[0072] It should be further explained that this embodiment uses only two storage chambers 22, two pushers, and two transmission components to ship the tableware box 5. In other specific embodiments, the number of storage chambers 22 can be appropriately increased. When there are three storage chambers 22, three pushers and three transmission components are naturally used, and adjacent storage chambers 22 are separated by partitions 24. The three pushers are located at different positions on the three synchronous belts, that is, from the side view, the three pushers divide the side of the synchronous belt into three equal parts to facilitate the sequential shipping of the tableware box 5. Other cases with more storage chambers 22, such as four storage chambers 22 or five storage chambers 22, will also increase the number of pushers and transmission components, which will not be elaborated here.

[0074] The vending machine includes a cutlery dispensing device. When the vending machine of this embodiment is used to sell products such as pizza, noodles, rice noodles, or rice noodle rolls, the cutlery dispensing device dispenses cutlery boxes 5 containing the corresponding cutlery. It should be noted that, depending on the different dietary habits around the world, it is possible that a vending machine selling noodles may use cutlery boxes 5 containing chopsticks or forks. This embodiment includes all the technical features and effects of Embodiment 1, therefore, other parts will not be described again.
