As shown in fig. 1 to 4, the present embodiment provides an automatic vending machine, which includes a cabinet, a shelf 1, a plurality of goods taking mechanisms, a moving rack, a goods basket 2 and a driving mechanism.
The cabinet is box-shaped, and the cabinet is provided with a goods taking opening which is communicated with the accommodating cavity inside the cabinet, so that a customer can take goods away from the goods taking opening. Goods shelves 1 sets up in the inside chamber that holds of rack, is equipped with tray structure 3 on goods shelves 1, and the last horizontal direction interval of following of tray structure 3 is equipped with a plurality of goods ways 31 that are used for depositing the goods, and one side that goods way 31 is close to goods basket 2 is equipped with the export, and goods way 31 is used for depositing the goods of treating selling. Preferably, the shelf 1 is provided with a plurality of tray structures 3 at intervals in the vertical direction.
The goods taking mechanisms are arranged on the side walls of the goods channels 31 in a one-to-one correspondence mode, each goods taking mechanism comprises a push plate 42 located in the goods channel 31 and a transmission assembly 41 in transmission fit with the push plate 42, and the transmission assemblies 41 are used for driving the push plates 42 to move along the extending direction of the goods channels 31 so that goods can be output from the outlets of the goods channels 31.
The movable frame comprises a vertical lifting mechanism and a horizontal moving mechanism arranged on the vertical lifting mechanism, and the goods basket 2 is arranged on the horizontal moving mechanism and used for receiving goods output from the goods channel 31. It can be understood that the vertical lifting mechanism is used for driving the horizontal moving mechanism and the goods basket 2 arranged on the horizontal moving mechanism to move along the vertical direction, and the horizontal moving mechanism is used for driving the goods basket 2 to move along the horizontal direction, so that the goods basket 2 can be driven to the outlet of the corresponding goods channel 31 through the moving frame to receive goods output from the corresponding goods channel 31, the goods can be conveyed to the outlet through the goods basket 2, and the goods in the goods channel 31 are prevented from falling from a high place to prevent the goods from being damaged.
The driving mechanism is arranged on the cargo basket 2 and can be in transmission fit with the transmission assembly 41. Through set up actuating mechanism on goods basket 2 to need not to correspond every goods way 31 and set up the motor alone, can effectively save the use quantity of motor, reduction in production cost. Preferably, actuating mechanism is including installing in the driving motor with on basket 2, power gear 5 with the driving motor transmission is connected, drive assembly 41 includes that the interval sets up two band pulleys at 31 extending direction both ends of goods way, the drive belt of connecting two band pulleys, and driven gear, driven gear and the coaxial setting of band pulley that is located the export of goods way 31, push pedal 42 sets firmly on the drive belt, power gear 5 can mesh with driven gear, after both mesh, driving motor passes through power gear 5 and drives driven gear and rotate, driven gear drives the drive belt through the band pulley of coaxial setting and rotates, the drive belt drives push pedal 42 and removes so that the goods in the goods way 31 moves to the exit of goods way 31 along the extending direction of goods way 31, realize that the goods exports from goods way 31. In this embodiment, the driving motor may rotate forward or backward.
Optionally, the vending machine further comprises a shipment detection sensor 6 disposed at an entrance of the basket 2, wherein the shipment detection sensor 6 is configured to detect whether the cargo in the cargo passage 31 enters the entrance of the basket 2. The shipment detection sensor 6 is preferably a photoelectric sensor, and the photoelectric sensor may include an optical receiver and an optical emitter integrally arranged, the optical receiver is used for receiving a signal sent by the optical emitter, when the cargo enters the inlet of the basket 2 from the outlet of the cargo channel 31, light sent by the optical reflector is reflected by the cargo, so that the optical receiver receives the signal sent by the optical emitter, and the shipment detection sensor 6 sends a first signal representing that the cargo is about to enter the basket 2. When no goods are present at the entrance of the basket 2, the optical receiver cannot receive the optical signal sent by the optical transmitter, and the shipment detection sensor 6 sends a second signal representing that no goods are present at the entrance of the basket 2. It should be noted that the present embodiment is not limited to the shipment detection sensor 6, and in other embodiments, the shipment detection sensor 6 may further include a light emitter and a light receiver oppositely disposed at the entrance of the basket 2. Preferably, a plurality of shipment detection sensors 6 are provided on the basket 2 in the vertical direction, so as to facilitate accommodation of cargoes of different heights.
Optionally, the vending machine further includes a power rod 7 rotatably disposed on the basket 2, and the power rod 7 can abut against a bottom surface of the goods output from the channel 31 to output the goods from the channel 31 to the basket 2.
