The delivery method comprises the following steps:

acquiring parameter information of boxed meal under the condition of acquiring the shipment instruction; based on the parameter information of the box lunch, the operation parameters of the airflow pushing mechanism 3 are adjusted to push the corresponding box lunch from the storage chamber 10b to the pickup chamber 10 c.

In the aforesaid, can set up on the cabinet body 1 and control the display screen, the user can control the display screen through the operation and come to equipment input instruction of getting goods, equipment promotes the boxed meal that corresponds to get in goods cavity 10c, the user of being convenient for gets the meal, of course, can also sign two-dimensional code or control the display screen display and show the two-dimensional code on the cabinet body 1, the user can order the meal through sweeping the sign indicating number mode, of course, the user can also utilize mobile terminal such as cell-phone to interact with boxed meal vending equipment, then operate APP on the cell-phone and order the meal. It should be noted that the parameter information of the boxed meal is different for different meals, and the operation parameters of the airflow pushing mechanism 3 can be accurately adjusted by obtaining the parameter information of the boxed meal, so that the boxed meal purchased by the user is pushed into the fetching cavity 10c from the corresponding storage cavity 10b, and the user can conveniently extend into the fetching cavity 10c from the fetching port 10a to fetch the meals.

In the present invention, the parameter information of the box lunch includes the weight of the box lunch, the volume of the box lunch, the position of the box lunch, the packing shape of the box lunch and/or the temperature of the box lunch, and of course, the parameter information of the box lunch is not limited to the above-mentioned exemplary information, but may include other information, and those skilled in the art can flexibly set it in practical applications.

Preferably, taking the case where the air-flow urging member 31 includes the first air-flow nozzle 311 and the second air-flow nozzle 312 respectively on the upper and lower inner side walls or the left and right inner side walls of the accommodation chamber 10, it is possible to urge the corresponding box lunch from the storage chamber 10b to the pickup chamber 10c by adjusting the air-flow angle and the air-flow intensity of the first air-flow nozzle 311 and the second air-flow nozzle 312 in real time. For example, when the parameter information of the box lunch comprises the weight of the box lunch, the air flow intensity of the air flow nozzles can be adjusted according to the weight of the box lunch, that is, the weight of the box lunch and the setting corresponding mode of the air flow intensity are in positive correlation, and for example, when the position of the box lunch is just at the corresponding storage position, the first air flow nozzles 311 and the second air flow nozzles 312 can be aligned with the center position of the box lunch for spraying, when the box lunch moves towards the delivery direction, the first air flow nozzles 311 and the second air flow nozzles 312 swing towards the delivery direction to continuously realize that the first air flow nozzles 311 and the second air flow nozzles 312 are aligned with the center position of the box lunch for spraying, and the air flow spraying intensity of the first air flow nozzles 311 and the second air flow nozzles 312 is gradually improved along with the distance of the box lunch, so as to ensure the stable movement of the box lunch. Further, when the pickup port 10a is located on the front side of the accommodation chamber 10 and the third air flow nozzle 32 is provided on the rear inner side wall of the accommodation chamber 10, the third air flow nozzle 32 is caused to spray the air flow while the operation parameters of the air flow pushing mechanism 3 are adjusted to push the corresponding box lunch from the storage chamber 10b to the pickup chamber 10c, thereby achieving the movement of the box lunch under the combined action of all the air flow pushing members 31 and the third air flow nozzle 32.

Preferably, the storage chamber 10b has a position detecting element capable of detecting the position of the box lunch to realize accurate pushing of the box lunch, the pick-up chamber 10c has a weight sensor or an image collector to detect the weight of the box lunch or collect image information of the box lunch, and when the user does not timely take the box lunch out of the pick-up opening 10a, for example, the user does not take the box lunch for more than a set time (for example, 10s), the device gives a buzzer prompt or pushes the timely meal-taking information to the mobile phone of the user.

So far, the technical solutions of the present invention have been described in connection with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but it is easily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Equivalent changes or substitutions of related technical features can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principle of the invention, and the technical scheme after the changes or substitutions can fall into the protection scope of the invention.
