The existing vending machine is provided with various commodity storage mechanisms, and can be divided into a spiral spring type goods channel, a crawler type goods channel, a snake-shaped goods channel and a vertical goods channel.
The spiral spring type goods channel and the crawler type goods channel are goods storage mechanisms which are used for enabling goods to be arranged in a straight line in the horizontal direction, and the goods are sent to a goods outlet one by one through a spiral spring or a crawler driven by a motor. The serpentine goods channel and the vertical goods channel are goods storage mechanisms which enable goods to be in serpentine or linear arrangement in the vertical direction, and enable the goods to fall to a goods outlet one by means of gravity.
The commodity storage mechanism is characterized in that commodities are arranged along a single direction, but the space utilization rate of the arrangement mode is low, so that the storage mechanism is oversized in the horizontal or vertical direction, and the commodity storage mechanism is not beneficial to being applied to an autonomous mobile vending robot. Moreover, the spiral spring and the crawler-type goods channel are poor in reliability, and goods blocking easily occurs in the process of delivering goods. And gravity whereabouts formula mechanism leads to vending machine shipment mouth position lower, needs to bow to get goods, and consumption experience is relatively poor.
