Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a vending machine shipment device includes a shipment bin 100 for loading goods, a pushing device 20, a driving device 40, a first sensor 50, and a second sensing device. 70.

The shipping bin 100 includes a shipping bin body 10 and a rotating member 30. The shipping container body 10 includes a bottom plate 11 and two side plates 13. The bottom plate 11 includes a plate body 111 and two pivoting pieces 113 extending perpendicularly from the plate body 111. The board body 111 is provided with a delivery port 112. The two pivoting pieces 113 are located on both sides of the delivery port 112. Each pivoting piece 113 is provided with a pivot hole 115. Each of the side plates 13 is provided with a sliding groove 131. The extending direction of the sliding groove 131 is parallel to the plate body 111. The plate body 111 of the bottom plate 11 is at an oblique angle α to the level direction (see Fig. 4).

The pushing device 20 includes two racks 21, a connecting shaft 23, two gears 25 fixed to the connecting shaft 23, and a push fixed to the connecting shaft 23 between the two gears 25. Board 27. The two racks 21 are respectively disposed on the outer sides of the two side plates 13, and the connecting shaft 23 passes through the sliding grooves 131 of the two side plates 13, and the two gears 25 respectively correspond to the two racks 21 is engaged, and the push plate 27 is located between the two side plates 13. The extending directions of the two racks 21 are parallel to each other and parallel to the extending direction of the sliding groove 131.

The rotating member 30 includes a rotating plate 31 and a pivoting shaft 33 fixed to the rotating plate 31. The rotating plate 31 is provided with an opening 311. The pivot shaft 33 is configured to be pivotally connected to the pivot hole 115. The driving device 40 is configured to be fixed to the pivot shaft 33 to drive the pivot shaft 33 to rotate. In this embodiment, the driving device 40 is a motor.

The first inductor 50 includes a first body 51 and a first sensing end 53 extending from the first body 51. The first body 51 is fixed to the pivot shaft 33 and rotates with the rotation of the pivot shaft 33. The first body 51 is located in the opening 311.

The second inductor 70 includes a second body 71 and a second sensing end 73 extending from the second body 71. The second body 71 is fixed to an outer side of one of the side plates 13.

Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , the pivoting shaft 33 of the rotating member 30 passes through the pivot hole 115 to pivotally pivot the rotating member 30 to the shipping bin body 10 . The drive unit 40 is fixed to the pivot shaft 33. At this time, the rotating plate 31 of the rotating member 30 shields the delivery port 112 and is in the same plane as the plate body 111. A plurality of goods 90 are placed in the shipping bay 100 with a cargo 90 placed on the rotating plate 31.

Referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the rotating plate 31 shields the delivery port 112 when there is no need to drop the product. The shipping bin 100 is provided with a plurality of goods 90, and the rotating plate 31 is located in the same plane as the plate body 111 of the bottom plate 11, wherein a cargo 90 is located on the rotating plate 31. When the product is required to be dropped, the driving device 40 rotates in a first rotation direction to drive the pivot shaft 33 to rotate, so that the rotating plate 31 rotates together with the pivoting shaft 33 to make the out The cargo port 112 appears. Thus, the goods 90 on the rotating plate 31 fall off. The other cargo is not moved to the delivery port 112 by the plate body 111 being resisted by the plate body 111 of the bottom plate 11 at an oblique angle to the horizontal plane. When the first sensing end 53 of the first inductor 50 located on the pivoting shaft 33 contacts the plate body 111, the driving device 40 stops rotating. After the cargo 90 is dropped, the driving device 40 rotates in a second rotational direction opposite to the first rotational direction to reset the rotating plate 31 when the second sensing end 73 of the second inductor 70 Upon contact with the flap 31, the drive unit stops rotating. At this time, the rotating plate 31 and the plate body 111 are in the same plane. The gear 25 of the pushing device 20 is rotated by the driving of the other driving device to drive the push plate 27 to move toward the rotating plate 31, thereby pushing another cargo to the rotating plate 31 to stop moving. This will allow you to drop the next time.

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.
