Detailed Description

The structure of the loading system according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a basic structure of a carrier system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 3, the carrier system 3 includes a frame body 30 and a plurality of carriers, and the carriers are classified into a plurality of types according to size, the same type of carriers have the same size, and the different types of carriers have different sizes. The dimension herein refers to the length of the frame body 30 in the extending direction, i.e., the left-right direction in the drawing. The figure shows a first type of

carrier

311, 312, and a second type of carrier 313. Each carrier is provided with carrier positioning means, such as positioning slots 32, and correspondingly, the frame 30 is provided with frame positioning means, such as positioning blocks 33. The carrier positioning device is matched with the frame positioning device to position each carrier on the frame 30, that is, each time the carrier is positioned on the frame 30, the carrier positioning device is positioned at the position of the frame positioning device. The carrier positioning devices are matched with the frame body positioning devices, namely all the carrier positioning devices are the same in form, and all the frame body positioning devices are also the same in form, so that the frame body positioning devices are matched with the carrier positioning devices in carriers with different sizes.

The positioning device can be in a concave-convex matching mode, namely, as shown in fig. 3, the positioning groove 32 is formed in the carrier, the positioning block 33 is arranged on the frame body 30, or the positioning block is arranged on the carrier and the positioning groove is formed in the frame body 30, one set of positioning device is composed of 1 positioning block and 1 positioning groove, and the positioning block is embedded into the positioning groove, so that the carrier is positioned and is not easy to move on the frame body 30 when small external force is applied.

The loading system may be a shelf in a warehouse or the like, or may be provided in a vending machine. For example, as shown in fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic view of a part of a vending machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, the rack bodies are

partitions

41, 42, and 43 arranged from top to bottom in the vending machine 4, and

lunch boxes

44 and 45 having different sizes are arranged in an extending direction (left and right direction in the drawing) of the partitions.

In this embodiment, two kinds of lunch boxes are taken as examples, namely, lunch box 44 is a large lunch box, and lunch box 45 is a small lunch box. Locating slots rather than locating pieces are provided on a set of opposing edges of the bottom of the box to help keep the box stable when placed elsewhere, such as on a table.

The positioning device for a lunch box according to the embodiment of the utility model is shown in fig. 5. the positioning device for a lunch box in fig. 5 adopts a positioning groove structure, the positioning grooves are arranged on a group of opposite edges at the bottom of the lunch box so as to be convenient for processing, and the positioning blocks are correspondingly arranged on the edges of two sides of the extension direction of the partition board. Referring to fig. 5, a set of

opposite ribs

511 and 512 at the bottom of the small lunch box 51 are provided with

positioning grooves

513 and 514; the bottom of the big lunch box 52 is provided with a set of

opposite edges

521, 522 with

positioning slots

523, 524, 525, 526. When the lunch box is placed on the goods shelf of the automatic vending machine, the edges are parallel to the extending direction of the goods shelf. At this time, the positioning groove and the positioning block are matched to form a positioning, as shown in fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic view of the lunch box positioning device according to the embodiment of the utility model, wherein the positioning blocks 601 and 602 are disposed on two sides of the extending direction (i.e. the direction perpendicular to the drawing) of the partition 60. The positioning block can also refer to

positioning blocks

461, 462 in fig. 4. The position of the positioning block is only an example, and other positions can be arranged in the utility model.

The positioning devices can be distributed on the partition board at equal intervals, so that the large lunch box can be flexibly positioned on the partition board. Fig. 7 is a schematic view of the positioning devices of the embodiment of the present invention distributed on the partition, as shown in fig. 7, wherein the positioning devices 73 are shown distributed at equal intervals. The length occupied by the large lunch box 74 in the extending direction of the partition (left-right direction in the figure) is 2 times or more the length occupied by the small lunch box 75 in that direction. Correspondingly, referring to fig. 5, the bottom of the small lunch box 51 is provided with 1 group of positioning grooves, namely

positioning grooves

513 and 514; the bottom of the big lunch box 52 is provided with 2 groups of positioning grooves, one group is the

positioning grooves

523 and 525, and the other group is the

positioning grooves

524 and 526. Because the positioning grooves are matched with the positioning blocks, the distance between the adjacent positioning blocks on the partition plate is the same as that between the positioning grooves on the same edge at the bottom of the large lunch box.

In this embodiment, the partition plate may be provided with a label box and a label in the label box, and specifically may be provided at the frame positioning device of the partition plate. Referring to fig. 4 and 6, a label 81 can be placed in the label box 80, and the label 81 can be replaced when the lunch box is not changed and the food in the lunch box is changed.

According to the technical scheme of the utility model, carriers with different sizes are adopted in the carrying system, and the carriers are positioned on the frame body of the carrying system by the positioning device, so that the carriers with various sizes are commonly applied to the same carrying system, the carrying capacity is diversified, and when the carriers are applied to an automatic vending machine, the user groups with different meal capacities can be better met.

The above-described embodiments should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations, and substitutions can occur, depending on design requirements and other factors. Any modification, equivalent replacement, and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
