Abstract

A door for a vending machine includes a front panel and a light source. The front panel includes a displaying area for displaying the pictures of goods in the vending machine. The light source is mounted on an inner side of the front panel. The door further includes a holding plate mounted on the inner side of the front panel. The holding plate includes a light reflection portion corresponding to the displaying area. The light reflection portion protrudes from the holding plate. When the holding plate is mounted on the front panel, the light emitting from the light source is reflected by the light reflection portion to illuminate the displaying area evenly.

Description

Vending cabinet door

The invention relates to a cabinet door, in particular to a cabinet door applied to a vending machine.

Vending machines have been widely used because of their limitations on time and location, saving manpower and facilitating transactions. In order to better display and promote the goods, the display door of the vending machine is generally provided with a display area for displaying pictures of the goods to be sold. In order to enable customers to see the pictures of the display area at night, the general vending machine cabinet door will also be equipped with fluorescent lamps for lighting the display area. However, the use of fluorescent lamps alone as lighting facilities in the distribution of uneven light distribution, affecting the lighting effect of the display area, it is not convenient for customers to purchase goods on the display area.

In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a vending cabinet door with better lighting effect in the display area.

An automatic vending cabinet door includes a panel and a light source provided with a display area for displaying a picture of a product, the light source being mounted on the inner side of the panel, the vending cabinet door further comprising a splint mounted on the inner side of the panel. The clamping plate includes a reflecting portion protruding from the clamping plate and corresponding to the display area. When the clamping plate is mounted on the panel, the light emitted by the light source is uniformly irradiated through the reflection of the reflecting portion to The display area.

Compared with the prior art, in the above-mentioned vending cabinet door, the light source can be evenly irradiated to the display area by the reflection of the reflecting portion, so that the display area can obtain a better lighting effect.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of a preferred embodiment of a vending cabinet door of the present invention.

Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of another angle of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a perspective assembled view of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line IV-IV of Figure 3.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a cabinet door structure for a vending machine includes a panel 10, a splint 20 mounted on the inner side of the panel 10, and a The board 30 is added after the vending cabinet door is used. The size and shape of the panel 10, the splint 20 and the rear panel 30 are substantially equal.

The panel 10 includes a display area 11 for displaying a picture of a product, the display area 11 occupying a rectangular area of the panel 10. A first illumination lamp 12 and a second illumination lamp 13 for illuminating the display area 11 are mounted on the inner side of the display area 11, and the first illumination lamp 12 and the second illumination lamp 13 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the rectangular area. . In an embodiment, the first illumination lamp 12 and the second illumination lamp 13 are fluorescent lamps, LED lamps or other light sources that can be used for illumination.

The splint 20 includes a substrate 22 and a reflective portion 21 protruding from the substrate 22 corresponding to the display area 11. The reflective portion 21 is integrally formed with the substrate 22. The light reflecting portion 21 includes a first reflecting surface 211 and a second reflecting surface 212. The first reflecting surface 211 extends obliquely downward from the upper edge of the reflecting portion 21 toward the display area 11. The second reflecting surface 212 extends obliquely upward from the lower side edge of the reflecting portion 21 toward the display area 11 and is connected to the first reflecting surface 211 to a connecting line 213. The intersection line 213 is parallel to the upper side edge and the lower side edge of the light reflecting portion 21, and has the same distance from the upper side edge and the lower side edge of the light reflecting portion 21. The shape and size of the first reflective surface 211 and the second reflective surface 212 are substantially equal, and are axially symmetric with respect to the intersection 213.

The first reflective surface 211 and the second reflective surface 212 include a reflective layer 40 for increasing the reflectance of the light. The light reflecting layer 40 is made of a reflective material, and its shape and size are substantially equivalent to the shapes and sizes of the first reflecting surface 211 and the second reflecting surface 212. In one embodiment, the reflective material is an aluminum foil.

Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, during installation, the splint 20 is first mounted to the inside of the panel 10, and then the rear panel 30 is mounted to the inside of the splint 20, the panel 10, the splint 20 And the rear plate 30 constitutes a complete cabinet door. At this time, the intersection line 213 abuts the display area 11, and the intersection line 213 and the display area 11 substantially coincide with each other. The first illumination lamp 12 is located on the upper side of the intersection line 213, corresponding to the first reflective surface 211; the second illumination lamp 13 is located on the lower side of the boundary line, and the second reflective surface 212 correspond.

In use, the light emitted by the first illumination lamp 12 is reflected by the first reflective surface 211, and is uniformly illuminated by the auxiliary reflection of the substrate 22 that is in contact with the upper edge of the reflective portion 21 On the upper half of the display area 11; the light emitted by the second illumination lamp 13 is reflected by the second reflective surface 212 while being assisted by the substrate 22 that is in contact with the lower edge of the reflective portion 21 And uniformly irradiated on the lower half of the display area 11. Thereby, the entire display area 11 is obtained with a better lighting effect.

In an embodiment, a plurality of illumination lights for illuminating the display area 11 may be installed on the inner side of the display area 11, and the reflective part 21 includes a plurality of reflective surfaces corresponding to the plurality of illumination lamps, each of which The reflective surface is used to reflect the light emitted by the corresponding illumination lamp.

In summary, the present invention has indeed met the requirements of the invention patent, and has filed a patent application according to law. However, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it is not possible to limit the scope of the patent application of the present invention. Equivalent modifications or variations made by persons skilled in the art in light of the spirit of the invention are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
