具体实施方式
以下对本公开的实施例的描述并非旨在限制要求保护的本公开的范围，而是仅仅表示本公开的部分实施例。相似的标号和字母在下面的附图中表示类似项，因此，如果某一项在一个附图中被定义，则在随后的附图中不用对该项进行定义和解释。
在本公开的描述中，术语“第一”、“第二”、“第三”或“第四”等仅用于区分描述，而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性。
实施例1
图1为本实施例提供的自动售货机的第一状态的结构示意图。图2为本实施例提供的自动售货机的第二状态的结构示意图。请参阅1与图2，在本实施例中，自动售货机100包括机柜101、设置在机柜101内的多个货道105、货斗107、货斗驱动机构121、第一挡门机构123(图4中)、第二挡门机构125(图4中)以及控制器。
请再次参阅图1与图2，机柜101包括柜体109、柜门111以及储货装置119。柜门111与柜体109转动连接。柜门111表面开设有取货口103。柜门111的材料可以由透明材料制成，以便于展示柜体109内的商品。储货装置119设置在柜体109内，并与柜门111相对设置。
货道105设置于储货装置119中，且货道105的长度方向沿箭头cd所示的第一水平方向延伸。货道105的前端为货道出口113，且货道出口113邻近于柜门111设置。自动售货机100还包括商品输送机构，商品输送机构设置为将货斗105中的商品从货道出口113输出。本实施例中，商品输送机构设置于货道105内。
请再次参阅图1与图2，货斗107设置在柜体109内，并位于柜门111与储货装置119之间。货斗107的前端设置有出货口117，货斗107的后端设置有进货口115。货斗驱动机构121设置在柜体109内，并位于柜门111与储货装置119之间。货斗驱动机构121与货斗107传动连接，货斗驱动机构121设置为驱动货斗107沿箭头ef所示的竖直方向和/或箭头ab所示的第二水平方向移动，以使货斗107的进货口115与任意一个货道105的货道出口113相对，或使货斗107的出货口117与取货口103相对。图3为本实施例提供的自动售货机的货道与货斗对接示意图。请参阅图2和图3，当货斗107的进货口115与任意一个货道105的货道出口113相对时，该货道105中的待运送商品能够被商品输送机构输送至货斗107。当货斗107的出货口117与取货口103相对时，用户能够取走货斗107内的商品。
图4为本实施例提供的自动售货机的货斗的结构示意图。请参阅图4，在本实施例中，第一挡门机构123设置在进货口115处，并且设置为遮挡或敞开进货口115，第二挡门机构125设置在出货口117处，并且设置为遮挡或敞开出货口117。第一挡门机构123包括第一挡门143，第二挡门机构125包括第二挡门145，并且，第一挡门机构123与第二挡门机构125均还包括动力组件，第一挡门143与第二挡门145的两端分别与动力组件传动连接。动力组件设置为驱动第一挡门143与第二挡门145沿竖直方向移动，其中，第一挡门143通过由下至上移动可以至少部分地遮挡进货口115，第一挡门143通过由上至下移动可以完全敞开进货口115， 第二挡门145通过由下至上移动可以至少部分地遮挡出货口117，第二挡门145通过由上至下移动可以完全敞开出货口117。动力组件可通过齿轮啮合传动输送动力，也可以通过其他传动方式，本公开不做限定。
在本实施例中，第一挡门机构123设置为遮挡或敞开进货口115，第二挡门机构125设置为遮挡或敞开出货口117。遮挡可以为完全遮挡也可以为部分遮挡，敞开则为完全敞开。
在本实施例中，控制器与第一挡门机构123以及第二挡门机构125的动力组件电连接，并且设置为在待运送商品进入货斗107的过程中，控制第一挡门机构123敞开进货口115，以及控制第二挡门机构125遮挡出货口117。例如，在接收到商品购买指令后，控制器控制货斗驱动机构121驱动货斗107向货道105运动，当进货口115与货道出口113对接时，动力组件驱动第一挡门143向下运动从而敞开进货口115，同时动力组件驱动第二挡门145向上运动从而遮挡出货口117。在一实施例中，控制器控制第一挡门机构123和第二挡门机构125运动可以理解为持续的动作，例如，上述过程中，控制器控制第一挡门143持续处于敞开进货口115的状态，以及控制第二挡门145持续处于遮挡出货口117的状态。在一实施例中，当控制器控制第一挡门机构123敞开进货口115时，如果第一挡门143已经处于敞开进货口115的状态，则控制器不再控制第一挡门143运动，当控制器控制第二挡门机构125遮挡出货口117时，如果第二挡门145已经处于遮挡出货口117的状态，则控制器不再控制第二挡门145运动。然后，控制器控制商品输送机构将待运送商品送入货斗107，待运送商品进入货斗107过程中，由于第二挡门145的阻挡作用，待运送商品不易倾倒伸至货斗107的外部，进而避免待运送商品与自动售货机100的其他结构发生碰撞，保证货斗107的正常移动。请再次参阅图3，在一实施例中，货道105上设置有第一检测件127，货斗107上设置有第三传感器129；第三传感器129与控制器电连接，设置为与第一检测件127配合并在与第一检测件127配合时发出第一检测信号；控制器设置为接收第一检测信号，并在接收到第一检测信号时，判定货斗107移动到一个货道105处，此时，控制器控制 第一挡门机构123敞开进货口115，以及控制第二挡门机构125遮挡出货口117。图5为本实施例提供的自动售货机的货斗在进货状态下的结构示意图。请参阅图5，当进货口115与货道出口113相对时，第一检测件127与第三传感器129配合，第三传感器129发送第一检测信号，控制器根据第一检测信号控制动力组件驱动第一挡门143敞开进货口115，第二挡门145遮挡出货口117，商品被送入货斗107。然后，控制器控制货斗驱动机构121驱动货斗107往取货口103移动。在一实施例中，第一检测件127也可以设置于货斗107上，第三传感器129也可以设置于货道105上。
在一实施例中，货斗107的进货口115处还可以设置第一传感器(图未示)，第一传感器与控制器电连接，且第一传感器设置为检测待运送商品是否完全进入货斗107；当第一传感器检测到待运送商品完全进入货斗107后，第一传感器输出相应的检测信号，控制器据此控制第一挡门143遮挡进货口115。
图6为本实施例提供的自动售货机的货斗在运货状态下的结构示意图。请参阅图6，在一实施例中，当待运送商品进入货斗107后，货斗驱动机构121驱动货斗107往取货口103移动。在这种情况下，在货斗107往取货口103移动前，控制器控制动力组件驱动第一挡门143遮挡进货口115，并控制动力组件驱动第二挡门145遮挡出货口117。使得货斗107往取货口103移动过程中，待运送商品受到第一挡门143与第二挡门145共同提供的阻挡作用，而不易由于运输的波动而倾倒，同时还可以将有倾倒倾向的商品扶正，使之不至于更倾倒，进而有效地避免待运送商品与自动售货机100的货道105、柜门111等其他零部件发生碰撞，继而保证货斗107的正常移动。在一实施例中，由于在待运送商品进入货斗107的过程中，第二挡门145已经处于遮挡出货口117的状态，因此，在待运送商品进入货斗107后、货斗107往取货口103移动前，控制器不再控制第二挡门145运动。
在一实施例中，控制器还可以设置为控制货斗驱动机构121驱动货斗107开始运动的时间，例如，控制器可以在控制动力组件驱动第一挡门143遮挡进货口115，控制第二挡门145遮挡出货口117后等待预设时间，然后控制货斗驱动机构 121开始驱动货斗107在机柜101内运动。预设时间可以为10s、20s或者更短，本公开不做限定。经过预设时间的等待，使得刚被输入货斗107内的待运送商品得到稳定，从而可以避免待运送商品的倾倒。
图7为本公开的实施例提供的自动售货机的货斗在出货状态下的结构示意图。参阅图7，当待运送商品进入货斗107后，货斗驱动机构121驱动货斗107向取货口103运动，当货斗107到达取货口103且出货口117与取货口103对接时，控制器可以控制动力组件驱动第一挡门143遮挡进货口115，驱动第二挡门145敞开出货口117。第一挡门143遮挡进货口115，使得用户不可以通过货斗107的进货口115获取与进货口115对应的货道105内的商品，提高了自动售货机100的安全性。第一挡门143敞开出货口117，使得用户可以取出货斗107内的待运送商品。在一实施例中，由于在货斗107由货道105向取货口102运送商品的过程中，第一挡门143处于遮挡进货口115的状态，因此，在货斗107到达取货口103且出货口117与取货口103对接时，控制器不再控制第一挡门机构115运动。
在一实施例中，请再次参阅图2，取货口103处设置有第二检测件131，货斗107上设置有第四传感器133；第四传感器133与控制器电连接，设置为与第二检测件131配合，并在与第二检测件131配合时发出第二检测信号；控制器设置为接收第二检测信号，并在接收到第二检测信号时，控制第一挡门机构123遮挡进货口115，以及控制第二挡门机构125敞开出货口117。当出货口117与取货口103相对时，第二检测件131与第四传感器133配合，第四传感器133发送第二检测信号，控制器根据第二检测信号控制动力组件驱动第一挡门143遮挡进货口115，同时控制第二挡门145敞开出货口117，以便于用户通过取货口103取走货斗107内的商品。在本公开的其他实施例中，第二检测件131还可以设置于货斗107上，第四传感器133还可以设置于取货口103。
货斗107内还可以设置第二传感器(图未示出)，第二传感器设置为检测进入货斗107的待运送商品的高度，且第二传感器与控制器电连接，控制器设置为根据第二传感器检测到的进入货斗107的待运送商品高度调节第一挡门143遮挡 进货口115时的高度，以及第二挡门145遮挡出货口117的高度。这样设计使得第一挡门143与第二挡门145可自动根据待运送商品的高度调节自身的上升高度，继而可适用于不同高度的商品的运输。
实施例2
本实施例提供了一种商品运送方法，应用于自动售货机100，自动售货机100包括机柜101、货斗107、货斗驱动机构121、第一挡门机构123、第二挡门机构125和货道105，机柜101上设置有取货口103，货斗107和货道105设置在机柜101内，货斗107设置为在货斗105和取货口103之间运送商品，货斗107包括相对设置的进货口115和出货口117，第一挡门机构123设置在进货口115处，第二挡门机构125设置在出货口117处，货斗驱动机构121设置为驱动货斗107在机柜101内运动。图8a为本实施例提供的一种商品运送方法的流程示意图。请参阅图8a，商品运送方法包括：
步骤1：控制货斗驱动机构驱动货斗向货道运动。
其中，当采用实施例1中的自动售货机100时，用户选择一种商品后，控制器控制货斗驱动机构121驱动货斗107向货道105运动，使得货斗107的进货口115与货道105的货道出口113相对。
在一实施例中，自动售货机100的机柜101内包括多个货道，当用户选择一种商品后，控制器根据用户选择的商品从多个货道中确定一个货道为目标货道，并控制货斗驱动机构121驱动货斗107向目标货道运动。
步骤2：当进货口与货道对接时，控制第一挡门机构敞开进货口，以及控制第二挡门机构遮挡出货口。
当进货口115与货道105的货道出口113对接后，控制器控制第一挡门机构123敞开进货口115，以及控制第二挡门机构125遮挡出货口117，为待运送商品被输入货斗107做好充分准备，从而使得待运送商品从货道105被输送至货斗107时，由于待运送商品受到第二挡门机构125的阻挡作用，而不至于倾倒，因此也避免了待运送商品伸至货斗107外部的情况发生。
在一实施例中，图8b为本公开的实施例提供的另一种商品运送方法的流程示意图，请参阅图8b，本公开提供的方法还包括：
步骤3：当货道内的待运送商品被输出至货斗时，控制第一挡门机构遮挡进货口。
在一实施例中，当进货口115与货道105的货道出口113对接并且第一挡门机构123敞开进货口115后，控制器控制商品输送机构将待运送商品从货道105的货道出口113输出至货斗107，当检测到货道105内的待运送商品被输送至货斗107时，也即，当检测到待运送商品完全进入货斗107时，控制器控制第一挡门机构123遮挡进货口115，从而为货斗107运送待运送商品做好准备。
步骤4：控制货斗驱动机构驱动货斗运动至取货口处，以使出货口与取货口对接。
在一实施例中，当货道105内的待运送商品被输出至货斗107并且第一挡门机构123关闭进货口115、第二挡门机构125关闭出货口117后，控制器控制货斗驱动机构121驱动货斗107运动至取货口103处，以使出货口117与取货口103对接。
由于货斗107运送待运送商品时第一挡门机构123关闭进货口115且第二挡门机构125关闭出货口117，因此使得货斗107往取货口103移动过程中，待运送商品受到第一挡门143与第二挡门145共同提供的阻挡作用，而不易由于运输的波动而倾倒，同时还可以将有倾倒倾向的商品扶正，使之不至于更倾倒，进而有效地避免待运送商品与自动售货机100的货道105、柜门111等其他零部件发生碰撞，继而保证了货斗107的正常移动。
步骤5：在出货口与取货口对接后，控制第二挡门机构敞开出货口。
出货口117与取货口103对接后，控制器控制第二挡门机构125敞开出货口117，由于此时第一挡门机构123遮挡进货口115且第二挡门机构125敞开出货口117，因此，使得用户可以通过出货口117顺利取走货斗107内的商品，且不可通过进货口115获取与进货口115对应货道105内的商品，提高了自动售货机100的安全性。
在一实施例中，图9为本实施例提供的还一种商品运送方法的流程示意图。请参阅图9，控制货斗107移动至取货口103处，包括：
步骤1：控制货斗驱动机构驱动货斗向货道运动。
步骤2：当进货口与货道对接时，控制第一挡门机构敞开进货口，以及控制第二挡门机构遮挡出货口。
步骤31：控制商品输送机构将货道的待运送商品向货斗输送。
步骤32：检测待运送商品是否完全进入货斗，如果待运送商品完全进入货斗，则执行步骤33，如果待运送商品没有完全进入货斗，则继续执行步骤32。
以本公开实施例的自动售货机100为例，通过第一传感器检测待运送商品是否完全进入货斗107。
步骤33：控制第一挡门机构遮挡进货口。
在一实施例中，此时还可包括在待运送商品进入货斗107后，检测进入货斗107的待运送商品的高度，并根据检测的高度调节第一挡门机构123以及第二挡门机构125升起后的遮挡高度。
通过在待运送商品完全进入货斗后，控制第一挡门机构123遮挡进货口115，可以使得货斗107在由货道105向取货口103输送待运送商品的过程中，第一挡门机构123遮挡进货口115，第二挡门机构125遮挡出货口117，从而使得待运送商品在运输过程中受到第一挡门机构123以及第二挡门机构125的共同阻挡限制作用，而不易由于运输的波动而倾倒伸至货斗107外部，同时还可以将有倾倒倾向的待运送商品扶正，使之不至于更加倾倒，进而有效地避免待运送商品与自动售货机100的货道105、柜门111等其他零部件发生碰撞，继而保证货斗107的正常移动。
其中，控制器可以在控制第一挡门机构123遮挡进货口115后等待预设时间，然后控制货斗107移动至取货口103处。通过预设时间的等待，使得刚被输入货斗107内的待运送商品得到稳定，从而可以避免待运送商品的倾倒。
步骤4：控制货斗驱动机构驱动货斗移动至取货口处，以使出货口与取货口 对接。
步骤5：在出货口与取货口对接后，控制第二挡门机构敞开出货口。
在本公开的实施例中，当采用实施例1中记载的自动售货机100时，当用户确定购买商品后，控制器控制货斗驱动机构121驱动货斗107往目标货道移动，当进货口115与目标货道的货道出口113相对时，控制器控制第一挡门机构123敞开进货口115，控制第二挡门机构125遮挡出货口117，使得待运送商品可以被顺利送入货斗107，且避免待运送商品伸出货斗107外部。当待运送商品进入货斗107后，控制器控制第一挡门机构123关闭进货口115，控制第二挡门机构125关闭出货口117，然后控制货斗驱动机构121驱动货斗107往取货口103方向移动，保证待运送商品运输过程中的稳定性，避免待运送商品的倾倒，进而避免倾倒的待运送商品与柜门111和货道105等其他部件发生碰撞。当出货口117与取货口103对接后，控制器控制第一挡门机构123遮挡进货口115，控制第二挡门机构125敞开出货口117，进而用户可以顺利取走货斗107内的商品，且不可通过货斗107的进货口115获取进货口115对应货道105内的商品，提高了自动售货机100的安全性。
