Description

Pallet with goods channels of different widths and vending machine

Technical Field

The utility model relates to an intelligence system of selling goods technical field.

Background

The vending machine has been widely installed in hotels, schools, residential districts or other public places because of the advantages of unattended operation, 24-hour business realization and the like. Conventional automated goods receiving machines, which are generally fixed in pallet (or slot) size, are typically used to sell products of uniform size.

On one hand, due to the difference of the sizes of different commodities, the width of the goods channel of the common pallet is fixed, the application is limited, and the requirements of commodity diversification are not met. Meanwhile, if the difference between the size of the commodity and the width of the goods channel is large, the goods channel cannot effectively fix the position of the commodity, so that the commodity is stacked in the goods channel and is inclined.

On the other hand, the current automatic vending machine push away the goods device and mostly coil spring pushes away goods mechanism or belt conveying and pushes away goods mechanism, adopts the above-mentioned automatic vending machine who pushes away the goods device, for realizing the independent sale of goods in every goods way, every goods way all need correspond to set up and push away the goods device, should push away the goods device because the restriction of its self structure, unable adaptation not unidimensional commodity on the one hand, on the other hand has limited the width of goods way. For example, when the pushing device is a coil spring pushing mechanism, the coil spring cannot accommodate a large product and cannot effectively push a small product. For another example, when the goods pushing device is a belt conveying goods pushing mechanism, although the goods pushing mechanism can drive goods of different sizes, the width of the goods channel cannot be adjusted due to the existence of the belt, and the space utilization rate of the vending machine is obviously reduced under the condition that most goods are small goods.

Based on the above problems, the prior art also provides a cargo way structure with adjustable width. Taking the chinese patent ZL201920461206.2 as an example, it discloses a shelf for automatic medicine vending machines: the goods shelf comprises a medicine storage tray arranged in the automatic medicine selling machine and a plurality of electromagnetic baffles arranged on the medicine storage tray; the medicine storage tray is obliquely arranged with the rear end higher than the front end; the medicine storage tray is provided with a plurality of partition plates which are arranged at equal intervals, the medicine storage tray is divided into a plurality of unit medicine storage grooves by the plurality of partition plates, the bottom of each partition plate is provided with a first clamping block, and each first clamping block on each partition plate is clamped in a first clamping groove of the tray bottom plate. During the use, will store up the medicine tray through the baffle and separate into a plurality of unit medicine storage groove, the groove width in unit medicine storage groove is less, is applicable to and puts the less medicine of width specification, when needs put the great medicine of width specification on storing up the medicine tray, can demolish corresponding baffle from storing up the medicine tray to make two above adjacent unit medicine storage grooves merge and constitute a great medicine storage groove, so that the great medicine of width specification is put in this medicine storage groove. For another example, chinese patent ZL201920014556.4 discloses an automatic medicine discharging device for a medicine vending machine, the bottom plate of the automatic medicine discharging device for a medicine vending machine is fixedly clamped with a plurality of partition plates, the distance between two adjacent partition plates is the same (i.e. the partition plates are arranged at equal intervals), the medicine is placed between the adjacent partition plates, the bottom plate is arranged obliquely, the medicine slides down by self gravity, the electromagnetic push rod blocks the medicine at the bottom, when the medicine needs to be discharged, the electromagnetic push rod retracts, the medicine slides down, and the medicine discharging operation is completed.

However, the above-mentioned shelf and drug delivery device only provides a unit drug storage slot (or lane) with a slot width, and the proper lane is small for a plurality of drugs with different sizes. For example, taking the width of the unit drug storage groove as 2.5cm as an example, the width of the larger drug storage groove formed by combining the adjacent unit drug storage grooves can only be 5cm, 7.5cm and the like, which is difficult to be applied to goods with more sizes, and the problem of space utilization still exists.

In summary, it is an urgent technical problem to provide a pallet which has a simple structure, can accommodate goods of more sizes, and is convenient for adjusting the width of a goods channel.
