请参照图4与图5，其示出了第一端盖200的两个方向的立体示意图，请同时结合图1至图3，第一端盖200整体呈扁平状的圆柱形，其中部设有贯通的进料孔210。第一端盖200盖设于转动件100的顶端，优选的，第一端盖200与转动件100同轴设置。进料孔210与上述的储料空间110连通，优选的，进料孔210与储料空间110同轴设置。
第一端盖200的边缘设有若干个向第二端盖400延伸的固定柱220，固定柱220靠近第二端盖400的一端设有螺纹孔，用以与下文中第二端盖400上的固定座固定连接。
为实现转动件100能够相对第一端盖200转动，第一端盖200面向转动件100顶部的一端还设有与上述的第一旋转槽130相适配的若干个第一旋转凸起230。优选的，该若干个第一旋转凸起230绕进料孔210的轴线呈圆周阵列。第一旋转凸起230插入第一旋转槽，并能够与第一旋转槽内滑动，以使转动件100能够相对第一端盖200转动。
第一端盖200面向转动件100的一端还设有六条第一曲槽240，该六条第一曲槽240绕转动件100的转动轴线角度间隔均匀。第一曲槽240包括绕转动件100的周向延伸的呈圆弧状的第一部分241，以及自该第一部分241的一端起始向远离转动件100的轴线的方向延伸的第二部分242。优选的，第二部分242呈圆弧状，且第二部分242所有弧线部位的切线，与第一部分241靠近第二部分242的一端的切线呈一钝角。以图2中的视角为参考，结合图4所示，第一部分241靠近第二部分242的一端向其另一端为整体沿逆时针方向延伸；第二部分242靠近第一部分241的一端向其另一端也为整体沿逆时针方向延伸。
参照图6及图7，其示出了第一挡板的两个方向的立体示意图，请同时结合图1至图5，第一阀门模块300整体设于第一端盖200与转动件100之间，包括六个第一挡板310，该六个第一挡板310同样绕转动件100转动的轴线角度间隔均匀分布，且该六个第一挡板310与上文中的第一导槽120、第一曲槽240一一对应。
第一挡板310整体呈一扁平的板状结构，其靠近转动件100的一端设有与所述第一导槽120相适配的第一滑块311，第一滑块311插入第一导槽120并可沿第一导槽120滑动，故第一挡板310能够凭借第一滑块311与第一导槽120的配合实现其与转动件100的相对滑动。
第一挡板310靠近第一端盖200的一端设有与所述第一曲槽240相适配的第一导柱312，第一导柱312插入第一曲槽240并可沿第一曲槽240相对滑动。
请参照图8至图11，其分别示出了第一端盖与转动件的分解示意图，第一阀门模块处于打开状态的示意图，以及关闭状态的两种情形的示意图，各第一导槽120和各第一曲槽240组成了用于在所述转动件100转 动时，控制所述第一阀门模块300关闭或打开进料孔210的第一导向模块800，以下同时结合图1至图7，简要说明第一阀门模块开、闭的过程：
为方便说明，以下将第二部分242远离第一部分241的一端称为“位置a”，将第二部分242靠近第一部分241的一端及将第一部分241靠近第二部分242的一端称为“位置b”，将第一部分241远离第二部分242的一端称为“位置c”。
初始状态时，第一曲槽240与第一导槽120之间具有一定相位差，第一挡板310上的第一滑块311位于第一导槽120中，第一导柱312位于第一曲槽中的位置a处，此时，各第一挡板310整体处于储料空间110的外周，第一阀门模块300处于打开状态，该状态示意图可具体参考图9。
转动件100逆时针(以图2的视角为参考)转动一设定角度之后，第一导柱312于第一曲槽滑动至位置b处。在该过程中，第一挡板310在第二部分242的侧壁的抵持作用下，在第一导槽120内相对转动件100本身滑动，且该相对滑动的方向与转动件100的转动方向相反。并且，每个第一挡板310均运动至至少部分遮蔽上述储料空间110的顶部轮廓，以关闭进料孔210，第一阀门模块300处于关闭状态，该状态示意图可具体参考图10。
在本实施例中，关闭状态下第一挡板310靠近储料空间110轴线的一端近似圆弧状，与圆弧状一端相接的两侧壁互成60度夹角。六个第一挡板310的圆弧状侧壁共同围成一近似圆柱状的缺口，各第一挡板310并未完全覆盖储料空间110及进料孔210；上述两侧壁分别与相邻第一挡板310上对应的侧壁抵持。该第一挡板310的结构设计旨在避免各第一挡板310在运动过程中发生干涉，同时在关闭状态能够达到彼此之间无缝隙的结果，由于相邻的第一挡板310之间互相抵持，所以单个第一挡板310也不容易自由滑动，关闭状态下第一阀门模块的稳定性很好。在本发明的其他实施例中，第一挡板310还可以没有上述圆弧状结构，取而代之的是两旁的侧壁逐渐靠近延伸并相交，此时，第一阀门模块300 的关闭状态为完全覆盖储料空间110及进料孔210。
转动件100继续转动至第一导柱312滑动至位置c处，由于第一部分241是以转动件100的轴线为中心的圆弧形槽结构，所以在第一导柱312随转动件100自位置b转动至位置c的过程中，第一部分241不会与第一导柱312抵持，则第一挡板310不会相对转动件100发生滑动。整个从位置b到位置c的过程中，第一阀门模块300始终处于关闭状态，该状态示意图可具体参考图11。
综上所述，在转动件100转动时，第一导槽120、第一曲槽240、第一滑块311以及第一导柱312共同配合，以控制第一阀门模块300打开或者关闭所述储料空间及进料孔。
第二部分242所有弧线部位的切线，与第一部分241靠近第二部分242的一端的切线呈钝角的设计能确保第一导柱312在第二部分242的滑过程中始终与第二部分242的侧壁抵持，则第一挡板310能够相对转动件持续不间断地滑动。
应当理解，即使上述实施例中第一导槽120是设置在转动件100靠近第一端盖200的一端，但在本发明的其他实施例中，第一导槽还可以是设置在第一端盖靠近转动件的一端，相应的，第一曲槽设置在转动件靠近第一端盖的一端。
以下继续说明第二端盖400与第二阀门模块500。
请参照图12与图13，其示出了第二端盖400的两个方向的立体示意图，请同时结合图1至图11，第二端盖400整体呈扁平状的圆柱形，其中部设有贯通的出料孔410。第二端盖400盖设于转动件100的底端，优选的，第二端盖400与转动件100同轴设置。出料孔410与上述的储料空间110连通，优选的，出料孔410与储料空间110同轴设置。
第二端盖400的边缘设有若干个与固定柱220适配的固定座420，其上设有与固定柱220上的螺纹孔同轴的通孔，螺钉穿过该通孔与螺纹孔连接以使第一端盖200与第二端盖400固定。
为实现转动件100能够相对第二端盖400转动，第二端盖400面向转动件100底端的一端还设有与上述的第二旋转槽相适配的若干个第二 旋转凸起430。优选的，该若干个第二旋转凸起430绕出料孔410的轴线呈圆周阵列。第二旋转凸起430插入第二旋转槽，并能够与第二旋转槽内滑动，以使转动件100能够相对第二端盖400转动。
第二端盖400面向转动件100的一端还设有六条第二曲槽440，该六条第二曲槽440绕转动件100的轴线角度间隔均匀分布。第二曲槽440包括绕转动件100的周向延伸的呈圆弧状的第三部分441，以及自该第三部分441的一端起始向远离转动件100的轴线的方向延伸的第四部分442。优选的，为使第四部分442抵持第二导柱的效果更好，第四部分呈圆弧状，且第四部分442靠近第三部分441的一端的切线，与第三部分441靠近第四部分442的一端的切线呈一钝角。以图2中的视角为参考，结合图11所示，第三部分441靠近第四部分442的一端向其另一端为整体沿顺时针方向延伸；第四部分442靠近第三部分441的一端向其另一端也为整体沿逆时针方向延伸。由此可知，第二曲槽整体的延伸方向与第一曲槽整体的延伸方向相反。本段落中的“方向相反”可理解为，在转动件的转动过程中，上述两延伸方向中的一个与转动件的转动方向一致，另一个与转动件的转动方向相反。
参照图14及图15，其示出了第二挡板的两个方向的立体示意图，请同时结合图1至图13，第二阀门模块500整体设于第二端盖400与转动件100之间，包括六个第二挡板510，该六个第二挡板510同样呈绕转动件100转动的轴线角度间隔均匀分布，且该六个第二挡板510与上文中的第二导槽、第二曲槽440一一对应。
第二挡板510整体呈一扁平的板状结构，其靠近转动件100的一端设有与所述第二导槽相适配的第二滑块511，第二滑块511插入第二导槽并可沿第二导槽滑动，故第二挡板510能够凭借第二滑块511与第二导槽的配合实现其与转动件100的相对滑动。
第二挡板510靠近第二端盖400的一端设有与所述第二曲槽440相适配的第二导柱512，第二导柱512插入第二曲槽440并可沿第二曲槽440相对滑动。
请参照图16至图18，其分别示出了第二端盖与转动件的分解示意 图，第二阀门模块500处于关闭状态的示意图，以及打开状态的示意图，各第二导槽140和各第二曲槽440组成了用于在所述转动件100转动时，控制所述第二阀门模块500关闭或打开出料孔410的第二导向模块900。以下同时结合图1至图15，简要说明第二阀门模块500开、闭的过程：
为方便说明，以下将第四部分442远离第三部分441的一端称为“位置a＇”，将第四部分442靠近第三部分441的一端及将第三部分441靠近第四部分442的一端称为“位置b＇”，将第三部分441远离第四部分442的一端称为“位置c＇”。
初始状态(即上文中第一导柱位于位置a处，第一阀门模块300打开)时，第二曲槽440与第二导槽之间具有一定相位差，第二挡板510上的第二滑块511位于第二导槽中，第二导柱512位于第二曲槽中的位置c＇处，此时，第二挡板510至少部分伸入储料空间110的底部轮廓内，第二阀门模块500处于关闭状态，该状态示意图可具体参考图17。
在本实施例中，关闭状态下的第二挡板510靠近储料空间110轴线的一端呈尖角状，该尖角由相邻的两侧壁形成，且该尖角的角度为60度。该设计旨在避免各第二挡板510在运动过程中发生干涉，同时在关闭状态能够达到彼此之间无缝隙的结果。
转动件100逆时针(以图2视角为参考)转动一设定角度之后，第一导柱位于位置b处，第一阀门模块300关闭，与此同时，第二导柱512于第二曲槽440的第三部分441内滑动至位置b＇处。
由于第三部分441是以转动件100的轴线为中心的圆弧形槽结构，所以在第二导柱512随转动件100自位置c＇转动至位置b＇的过程中，第三部分441不会与第二导柱512抵持作用，则第二挡板510不会相对转动件100发生滑动。整个从位置c＇转动至位置b＇的过程中，第二阀门模块500始终处于关闭状态，该状态示意图仍可具体参考图17。同时由于相邻的第二挡板510之间互相抵持，所以单个第二挡板510也不容易自由滑动，关闭状态下第二阀门模块的稳定性很好。
转动件100继续逆时针转动(以图2视角为参考)至第一导柱312滑动至位置c处，与此同时，第二导柱512在第四部分中运动至位置a＇。 由于从转动件100的顶端和底端观察出的转向是相反的，如以图17、18、13参考，则转动件100是顺时针方向转动，此处建议结合图13、17、18阅读。在该过程中，第二挡板510在第四部分442的侧壁的抵持作用下，在第二导槽内相对转动件100本身滑动，且该相对滑动的方向与转动件100的转动方向相反，每个第二挡板510均运动至脱离上述储料空间110的底部轮廓之内，以打开储料空间110及出料孔410，第二阀门模块500处于打开状态，该状态示意图可具体参考图18。
综上所述，在转动件100转动时，第二导槽、第二曲槽、第二滑块511以及第二导柱512共同配合，以控制第二阀门模块打开或者关闭所述出料孔。
第四部分442所有弧线部位的切线，与第三部分441靠近第四部分442的一端的切线呈钝角的设计能确保第二导柱512在第四部分442的滑过程中始终与第四部分442的侧壁抵持，则第二挡板510能够相对转动件持续不间断地滑动。
值得注意的是，为实现上述过程，应确保第一导柱312于第一曲槽240的第二部分242的两端之间(即位置a与位置b之间)滑动所对应的转动件100旋转的相位角，与第二导柱512于第二曲槽440的第三部分441的两端(即位置c＇与位置b＇之间)之间滑动所对应的转动件100旋转的相位角相等；
以及第一导柱312于第一曲槽240的第一部分241的两端之间(即位置b与位置c之间)滑动所对应的转动件100旋转的相位角，与第二导柱512于第二曲槽440的第四部分442(即位置b＇与位置a＇之间)的两端之间滑动所对应的转动件100旋转的相位角相等。
进一步的，本实施例中，第一导柱312于所述第一曲槽240的第二部分242的两端之间滑动所对应的所述转动件100旋转的相位角，与第一导柱312于所述第一曲槽240的第一部分241的两端之间滑动所对应的转动件100旋转的相位角相等。进一步优选的，该相位角为45度。
应当理解，即使上述实施例中第二导槽是设置在转动件100靠近第二端盖400的一端，但在本发明的其他实施例中，第二导槽还可以是设 置在第二端盖400靠近转动件100的一端，相应的，第二曲槽设置在转动件100靠近第二端盖400的一端。
驱动模块600固定与第一端盖200，其用于驱动所述转动件100绕其轴线转动。具体的，驱动模块600包括电机610与驱动轮620，驱动轮620与转动件100之间通过齿轮啮合。电机带动驱动轮620转动时，则转动件100在驱动轮620的带动下同步转动。可以理解的是，驱动模块600并不局限于上述实施例的电机驱动与齿轮传动的组合，还可以是其他形式，如通过皮带、齿条、蜗杆等结构均可实现带动转动件100与第一端盖200与第二端盖400之间转动，在此则不一一限定。
该落料机构还包括感应模块700和控制器，感应模块用于控制转动件100在设定区间内转动，控制器与感应模块700以及驱动模块600连接，通过从感应模块700获取的信息控制电机610按预期设定转动。
具体的，感应模块700包括第一感应装置710、第二感应装置720与感应片730。其中第一感应装置710固设于第一端盖200或者第二端盖400，第二感应装置720固设于第一端盖200或者第二端盖400，感应片730固设于转动件100。控制器分别与所述第一感应装置710、第二感应装置720和驱动模块600连接。
两感应装置相对储料空间的轴线间隔90度夹角，即上述第一导柱312于第一曲槽240的两端之间滑动对应的转动件100所述旋转过的相位角，且第一导柱位于第一曲槽的位置a时，感应片730位于第一感应装置710处。
在一个落料过程中，控制器接收到外部输送的落料信息，控制转动件100带动感应片730自第一感应装置710运动至第二感应装置720处，控制器接收到到位信息，控制驱动模块600停止运行；随后控制驱动模块600带动转动件100反向运动至感应片730复位至第一感应装置710处，控制器接收到到位信息，控制驱动模块600停止运行，控制器等待下一个落料过程信息的输入，再重复上述流程。
以下结合附图对该落料机构控制落料的工作过程作简要说明：
进行落料过程之前，该落料结构处于存储胶囊的状态，此时，感应片730处于第一感应装置710处，第一阀门模块300处于打开状态，第二阀门模块500处于关闭状态。对应的，第一导柱312处于位置a处，第二导柱512处于位置c＇处。
当控制器接收到落料信息时，控制器控制驱动模块600带动转动件100逆时针转动45度时，当转动件100转动至第一导柱312处于位置b处时，第二导柱512处于位置b＇处，则第一阀门模块300处于关闭状态，以拦截储料空间110上方的胶囊，同时第二阀门模块500也处于关闭状态。
驱动模块600继续带动转动件100再运动45度至感应片730到达第二感应装置720处，此时第一导柱312处于位置c处，第二导柱512处于位置a＇处，则第一阀门模块300仍处于关闭状态，可拦截储料空间110上方的胶囊，同时第二阀门模块500处于打开状态，以释放储料空间110内部的胶囊。
随后，控制器控制驱动模块600带动转动件反向转动45度，此时第一导柱312处于位置b处，第二导柱512处于位置b＇处，则第一阀门模块300、第二阀门模块500均处于关闭状态。
驱动模块600带动转动件继续转动45度至感应片730到达第一感应装置710处，此时第一导柱312处于位置a处，第二导柱512处于位置c＇处，则第一阀门模块300处于打开状态，同时第二阀门模块500处于关闭状态，以维持于上述存储胶囊的状态。至此，一个落料过程结束，整个落料过程中，第一阀门模块300与第二阀门模块500之中至少有一个处于关闭状态，以避免胶囊漏料。
该落料机构通过第一导向模块将转动件100与第一阀门模块300实现联动，通过第二导向模块将转动件100与第二阀门模块500实现联动，在转动件100旋转的同时，第一阀门模块300与第二阀门模块500在其带动下以相反运动的运动规律使两阀门模块中的一个在打开状态时，另一个必定处于关闭状态。巧妙地实现了同时完成胶囊的掉落与拦截过程。
目前市场上的落料结构大多是采用分步控制两阀门模块的方案，其需要先关闭第一阀门模块，其次打开第二阀门模块进行落料过程，然后将第二阀门模块关闭，再打开第一阀门模块使落料机构复位至存储状态，这种落料结构需要多个动力源，并且整个落料的流程长；而本发明提供的落料机构只需一个动力装置，以及一个正反转动的过程即可完成一个完整的落料过程，该落料机构的落料周期更短，用户不再需要花费长时间用于等待。同时，本落料机构整体零件数量少，制造和装配成本更低。
此外，第二阀门模块500关闭时呈一闭合无缺口的平面，能够对市场上实用铝箔包装的胶囊进行校正，使这种胶囊无论以何种姿态进入储料空间，均能保证在平置的状态；第一阀门模块300关闭时中央形成一圆柱状的缺口，由于铝箔胶囊包装呈飞碟形，上述缺口与第二阀门模块相配合能够使该缺口同轴或者接近同轴地压在铝箔胶囊上方，对胶囊的姿势进一步校正。
应当理解，即使本实施例中的第一旋转槽130与第二旋转槽均设于转动件100上，但在本发明的其他实施例中，第一旋转槽130还可以设于第一端盖200靠近转动件100的一端，相应的，第一旋转凸起230设于转动件100靠近第一端盖200的一端；第二旋转槽还可以设于第二端盖400靠近转动件100的一端，相应的，第二旋转凸起430设于转动件100靠近第二端盖400的一端。由于，实际工作过程中转动件的行程可能只有90度，所以第一旋转槽与第二旋转槽实际上也可以是圆心角大于转动件的行程的圆弧形槽即可。
应当理解，本实施例中所述的阀门模块的打开与关闭状态并非一定是完全覆盖或者完全退出所述储料空间的端部轮廓(或进料孔、出料孔)，也可以是部分覆盖或者部分退出所述储料空间的端部轮廓(或进料孔、出料孔)，具体以能够实现拦截或者释放胶囊为准。
应当理解，本发明对上述第一阀门模块与第二阀门模块包括的挡板数量并不作具体限定，例如，当第一挡板的面积足够大时，则一个挡板即能满足使用要求，但由于挡板的面积过大时转动件的转动并不平衡， 所以挡板数量优选两个以上，同时结合挡板的面积，进一步优选三个以上。
应当理解，本落料结构不仅可以用于存储与掉落胶囊，也可以用于存储胶囊之外的其他物料。
请参照图19至图20，本发明还提供了一种储料装置，该储料装置包括用于堆放胶囊的料筒1000和上述的落料机构，请同时结合图1至图18，落料机构固定于料筒1000的一端，并且料筒的一端的端口与落料机构的进料孔连通。优选的，料筒1000与进料孔同轴设置。
该储料装置包括上述的落料机构，其落料周期相比市场上的储料装置更短，用户不再需要花费长时间用于等待。同时，本储料装置整体零件数量少，制造和装配成本更低。
本发明还提供一种自助售卖机，该自助售卖机包括上述的储料装置。该自助售卖机可以用于售卖咖啡胶囊，也可以用于售卖冲泡好的咖啡，当然还可以用于售卖其他产品。
该自助售卖机包括上述的落料机构，其落料周期相比市场上的自主售卖机更短，用户不再需要花费长时间用于等待。同时，本自助售卖机整体零件数量少，制造和装配成本更低。
最后应说明的是：以上实施例仅用以说明本发明的技术方案，而非对其限制；在本发明的思路下，以上实施例或者不同实施例中的技术特征之间也可以进行组合，步骤可以以任意顺序实现，并存在如上所述的本发明的不同方面的许多其它变化，为了简明，它们没有在细节中提供；尽管参照前述实施例对本发明进行了详细的说明，本领域的普通技术人员应当理解：其依然可以对前述各实施例所记载的技术方案进行修改，或者对其中部分技术特征进行等同替换；而这些修改或者替换，并不使相应技术方案的本质脱离本发明各实施例技术方案的范围。
