具体实施方式
以下结合附图提供的本公开的实施方式的详细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方式。
在本公开的描述中，指示方位或位置关系的术语为基于附图所示的方位或位置关系，仅是为了便于描述本公开和简化描述，而不是指示或暗示所指的设备或元件必须具有特定的方位、以特定的方位构造和操作，因此不能理解为对本公开的限制。自动售货机包括货斗及多个货道，每个货道沿前后方向延伸，设置为存放货物。多个货道沿自动售货机的宽度方向及高度方向呈多行多列排布。每个货道中设置有运动部件，设置为将货道内的货物送出货道。货斗能够在自动售货机内移动，并与预设货道进行对接，设置为给货道中的运动部件提供动力、承接货道中落下的货物；并能够带着货物运动至自动售货机的取货口处供用户取走。
实施例：
请参考图1，图1为本公开实施例提供的自动售货机200的整体结构示意图，图2是本公开实施例提供的自动售货机的货道结构示意图。如图1、图2所示，本实施例提供了一种自动售货机200，包括：储物柜220以及设置在储物柜220内的货斗100和多个货道210，储物柜220的表面设有取货口2242，每个货道210设置为放置货物300；货斗100设置为在货道210与取货口2242之间递送货物300。在一实施例中，当货斗100移动到多个货道210中的一个货道210的出货端时，该货道210内的运动部件214将货物300(例如饮料)推出货道210，并送到货斗100内，货斗100带着货物300移动到取货口2242，以便用户取走货物300。
请继续参考图1，储物柜220整体为长方体状，包括柜门224及柜体222，柜门224与柜体222铰接，并且上述的取货口2242设置在柜门224的下部。柜体222内沿自动售货机的高度方向设置有多层货架，每层货架上沿自动售货机的宽度方向排列有多个货道210；货道210从后向前延伸，货物300摆放在货道 210中。在一实施例中，自动售货机的宽度方向即为图1中的AB方向，自动售货机的前后方向即为图1中的CD方向，自动售货机的高度方向即图1中的EF方向。
请参考图2，配合参考图1，货道210上设置有动力输入件212及运动部件214，动力输入件212设置在货道210的出货端，设置为与货斗100上的动力组件120可分离地连接。动力输入件212还与运动部件214传动连接，从而使得运动部件214能够带动货道210内的货物300从后向前移动，使货物300最终落到货斗100内。最后货斗100带着货物300移动到取货口2242。
请继续参考图2，本实施例中，动力输入件212为设置在货道210前端的齿轮，运动部件214包括传动带2142及推板2144，推板2144与传动带2142连接，齿轮转动时通过转轴带动传动带2142运动，传动带2142带动推板2144向前运动。推板2144由后向前运动时，将货道210内的货物300向前推动直至输出至货斗100。
请继续参考图1，货斗100在驱动机构的带动下能够上下左右的移动，从而货斗100能够与任意位置的货道210相对，因此能够取出任一货道210内的货物300。
当取出货道210中的货物300时，货斗100上的动力组件120要与该货道210上的动力输入件212进行连接，通常情况下，货斗100后方只能设置一个货道210；而为了使货物300能够落入到货斗100内，货斗100的宽度及高度一般较大。上述情况直接导致货斗100后方的柜体222空间被浪费，柜体222的容量偏小。本实施例中的货斗100正是为了提高柜体222空间利用率及容量而设计的。
请参考图3至图5，图3和图4为货斗100不同角度的结构示意图，图5为本公开实施方式提供的货斗在第三视角下的局部结构示意图。货斗100整体为长方体状，包括具有内腔的斗体110、设置为与货道210的动力输入件212可分离地配合且为动力输入件212提供动力的动力组件120，以及与动力组件120连接、设置为驱动动力组件120沿设定方向(例如：横向或纵向，即自动售货机的宽度方向或高度方向)往复运动的驱动组件130。在一实施例中，斗体110的内腔设置为容纳货物300及动力组件120。，
本公开实施例提供的货斗100，由于驱动组件130能够驱动动力组件120沿设定方向往复运动，使得斗体110可以与任意位置的货道210相对时，动力组件120与相对于斗体110的货道210的动力输入件212可分离地连接，为该货道210的动力输入件212提供输出货物300的动力。通过上述设计，本实施例提供的货斗100能够获取任意位置的货道210内的货物300。采用上述货斗100，使得自动售货机内部能够布置更多的货道210，提高了自动售货机的内部空间利用率，进而提高了自动售货机的货物300的存储量。
在一实施例中，货斗100还包括导向组件140。在驱动组件130的驱动下，动力组件120能够在导向组件140的导向下横向往复移动。因此，货斗100后方可以设置多个货道210，动力组件120可以移动到任意位置处的货道210的前端从而为该货道提供动力。在一实施例中，设定方向为横向，本公开内容中所提及的“横向”均是每一层货架上的多个货道的排列方向，即自动售货机的宽度方向。在其他实施例中，在驱动组件130的驱动下，动力组件120能够在导向组件140的导向下纵向往复移动，本公开内容中所提及的“纵向”即自动售货机的高度方向。
如图3所示，斗体110整体呈长方壳体状，包括中空内腔，中空内腔设置为放置动力组件120及货物300。斗体110的外壁上设置有进货口和出货口，当 货斗100移动至预设货道210的前端时，进货口能够接收货道210内落下的货物300；当货斗100移动至取货口2242时，出货口能够供用户取货。
请参考图5，斗体110内还设置有支撑架150，支撑架150和动力组件120能够一起沿斗体110的宽度方向移动。支撑架150包括隔板152及防护板154，防护板154与隔板152连接形成罩体状结构。隔板152将斗体110的内腔隔开形成两个相对独立的空间；即，安装空间及货物容置空间。动力组件120设置在安装空间内，并与隔板152固定连接。防护板154与隔板152连接，防护板154与隔板152将动力组件120围在安装空间内。
由于设置了支撑架150，因此能够避免落到斗体110内的货物300碰到动力组件120，对动力组件120起到了保护作用；另外，支撑架150还能避免消费者取货时被动力组件120伤害。
请参考图6和图7，图6和图7为动力组件120不同角度的结构示意图，并配合参考图5。动力组件120包括安装部125、设置于安装部125上的第二电机124，以及与第二电机124的输出轴传动连接的传动机构；其中，传动机构设置为在第二电机124的输出轴沿第一预设方向(例如图7中箭头G的方向)转动时，从第一位置移动到第二位置，从而与货道210的动力输入件212传动连接；传动机构还设置为在第二电机124的输出轴沿第二预设方向(例如图7中箭头H方向)转动时，从第二位置移动至第一位置，从而与货道210的动力输入件212分离。
在一实施例中，动力组件120包括第二电机124、安装部125、摆杆126、第一齿轮121、第二齿轮122及第三齿轮123。
安装部125包括水平板1252及竖直板1254，水平板1252与支撑架150的隔板152固定连接，设置为支撑整个动力组件120的其他零部件；竖直板1254垂直连接于水平板1252的上表面，并与隔板152平行间隔设置。
第二电机124固定连接在安装部125上并与第一齿轮121传动连接，第一齿轮121、第二齿轮122以及第三齿轮123均位于竖直板1254与隔板152之间。并且第一齿轮121与竖直板1254转动连接，第二齿轮122通过转轴与摆杆126单向转动连接，转轴还与竖直板1254转动连接，第三齿轮123与摆杆126的自由端转动连接；第二齿轮122同时与第一齿轮121及第三齿轮123啮合。
摆杆126的自由端通过弹性件与安装部125连接，弹性件的弹力使得摆杆126的自由端始终具有朝靠近货道210的方向运动的运动趋势，从而在没有其他外力作用时，摆杆126能够带动第三齿轮123靠近货道210的动力输入件212并与动力输入件212连接。
本实施例中，转轴的一端与第二齿轮122固定连接并与摆杆126通过单向轴承连接；弹性件采用了拉伸弹簧，拉伸弹簧的第一端与摆杆126的自由端连接，拉伸弹簧的第二端与安装部125连接。在一实施例中，弹性件还可以采用扭转弹簧。
第二齿轮122沿第一预设方向转动时，转轴通过单向轴承相对于摆杆126转动，单向轴承相对于摆杆126打滑，摆杆126不受来自于转轴的扭矩。此时，弹性件拉动摆杆126摆动，使得摆杆126带动第三齿轮123移动到第二位置，该位置使得第三齿轮123刚好能够与货道210的动力输入件212(如齿轮或齿条等)连接。
第二齿轮122沿与第一预设方向相反的第二预设方向转动时，由于转轴通过单向轴承与摆杆126连接，此时，单向轴承抱紧，转轴带动摆杆126同步转 动，摆杆126带着第三齿轮123移动到第一位置，在该位置使得第三齿轮123与货道210的动力输入件212脱离连接，在一实施例中，第三齿轮123缩回至斗体内。
请参考图8，图8表示了驱动组件130的结构，并配合参考图5和图7。驱动组件130包括第一电机132及直线传动组件133，第一电机132与直线传动组件133传动连接，直线传动组件133与动力组件120连接。直线传动组件133包括传动带134以及沿横向间隔设置的主动轮136及从动轮138。第一电机132通过安装部125与斗体110固定连接，主动轮136与第一电机132的输出轴连接，从动轮138的轮轴与斗体110连接，传动带134套设在主动轮136及从动轮138上；主动轮136能够通过传动带134带动从动轮138转动。动力组件120与传动带134连接，传动带134运动时带动动力组件120同步运动。
本实施例中，传动带134为同步带，主动轮136及从动轮138均为同步带轮。为了便于动力组件120与传动带134的连接，动力组件120上还设置了连接部，连接部包括两块相互连接的夹持板，两块夹持板将传动带134夹持。在一实施例中，两块夹持板通过螺栓连接，从而便于进行装配及调整夹持力。
如图5和图8，为了给动力组件120提供导向，本实施例中，导向组件140与斗体110连接，动力组件120与导向组件140可滑动地连接。在一实施例中，导向组件140包括两个导向柱142，两个导向柱142均沿横向延伸，两个导向柱142分别设置在动力组件120的上部及下部。动力组件120被两个导向柱142支撑，使得动力组件120相对于斗体110的内壁悬空。在一实施例中，导向组件140的两个导向柱142均沿纵向延伸；且沿横向方向，两个导向柱142分别设置在动力组件120的两端。
通过上述设计，导向柱142不仅提供了导向作用，还对动力组件120起支撑作用，使得动力组件120与斗体110的内壁之间具有一定的间隙；从而使得 动力组件120的运动更加顺畅。另外，导向柱142的设置位置不仅避免了导向柱142与货物300的干涉，还使得整个货斗100结构更加稳定。
本实施例提供的货斗100及自动售货机200的工作原理如下：
如图1，当消费者要获取预设货道210中的货物300时，驱动机构驱动货斗100移动至与预设货道210相对，并使得动力组件120与该预设货道210的动力输入件212进行连接，该预设货道210内的运动部件214将货物300推到货斗100内。由于动力组件120可沿横向往复移动，而货斗在驱动机构的驱动下也可沿横向、纵向移动，因此，在消费者有需求时，通过动力组件120的横向移动及货斗100的整体上下、左右移动，货斗100可以将任意位置的货道中的货物300取出。因此本实施例中提供的货斗100及自动售货机200充分利用了售货机的内部空间，提高了容量。
本实施例仅仅是本公开的实施例之一，在其他实施例中，可以不设置导向组件140，例如可以是将动力组件120直接与斗体110内壁进行可滑动地连接。
在一实施例中，直线传动组件133可以为其他结构，例如，可以采用齿轮齿条结构，齿轮设置在动力组件120上，齿条沿横向延伸；齿轮与齿条啮合，第一电机132驱动齿轮转动；或者还可以采用丝杆螺母结构，螺母设置在动力组件120上，丝杆沿横向延伸，第一电机驱动丝杆转动，丝杆转动时其轴线方向的移动被限制，故螺母沿丝杆轴向运动，动力组件一起沿丝杆移动；或者还可以采用气缸结构，气缸活塞杆的自由端与动力组件120连接，气缸缸体与斗体110连接。
在一实施例中，导向组件140可以为齿条，动力组件120上设置与齿条配合的齿轮，齿轮转动时，动力组件120沿齿条移动。
