Detailed Description
In order to make the technical means, the creation characteristics, the achievement purposes and the effects of the invention easy to understand, the invention is further explained below.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, the memory alloy driven delivery mechanism includes a storage channel 100, wherein the storage channel 100 is in a vertical cylinder shape, and the goods 10 inside the storage channel are in a vertically stacked state. Of course, the storage channel 100 may be disposed obliquely or in an arc channel, and any structure may be used as long as the cargo 10 can fall down by its own weight without being limited by an external force.
In this embodiment, a swing arm 200 is disposed at a side portion of the lower section of the storage passage 100, but it is needless to say that a swing arm may be disposed at each of two sides of the lower section of the storage passage 100. The swing arm 200 is connected with the reset component, and the middle part of the swing arm 200 in the embodiment is movably arranged through a pin shaft 210 and a torsion spring 220 which are arranged outside the storage channel 100. The upper and lower portions of the swing arm 200 are respectively provided with an upper blocking section 230 and a lower blocking section 240 inserted into the storage passage 100, and the lower side of the storage passage 100 is provided with an upper insertion groove 231 and a lower insertion groove 241 into which the upper blocking section 230 and the lower blocking section 240 are inserted.
A shape memory alloy part 300 for driving the swing arm 200 to move is further disposed outside the storage passage 100, the shape memory alloy part 300 is a shape memory alloy wire or a spring made of a shape memory alloy wire, and the shape memory alloy part 300 is connected to a power source (not shown). In this embodiment, one end of the shape memory alloy member 300 is connected to the swing arm 200, the other end is a fixed end, a protective groove 310 is further disposed on the outer side of the shape memory alloy member 300, and the shape memory alloy member 300 is steered by a guide wheel 320.
The cargo 10 in this embodiment is a cone-like cargo with gradually increasing outer diameter from the head to the bottom, and the cargo structure is such that the upper blocking section 230 has a certain movement surplus space to move to the bottom of the upper cargo during the movement of the lower blocking section 240 away from the bottom of the cargo.
Of course, the shape of the goods 10 may be a general straight tube structure, such as a general pop-top can, in which case, a partition plate 11 is provided at the bottom of each goods 10, and the outer diameter of the partition plate 11 is larger than that of the goods 10, so that the upper blocking section 230 has a certain movement surplus space to move to the bottom of the partition plate 11 of the upper goods during the movement of the lower blocking section 240 away from the bottom of the partition plate 11.
In order to count the quantity of delivered goods so that the goods can be supplemented in time, the lower part side of the storage channel 100 is provided with a sensor 500 for sensing the falling state of the goods, the sensor 500 is connected with a control device, the sensor 500 is a photoelectric sensor, and the control device can adopt controllers such as a PLC and a single chip microcomputer.
The operating principle of the delivery mechanism of the invention is as follows:
when the power source does not supply power to the shape memory alloy member 300, the lower barrier section 240 supports the bottom of the lowermost cargo item 10 within the storage channel 100; when goods are required to be delivered, the external provides a delivery instruction for the control device, the instruction can be an operation instruction of an existing vending machine for scanning a two-dimensional code, inputting a password and the like, when a power supply supplies power to the shape memory alloy part 300, the shape memory alloy part 300 is shortened to drive the swing arm 200 to swing, the lower blocking section 240 leaves the bottom of the lowest goods 10 in the storage channel 100, the lowest goods 10 in the storage channel 100 fall down and fall out from a delivery port, and the upper blocking section 230 swings to the bottom of the lowest goods in the storage channel 100 at the moment; after the power supply receives the outage instruction, the outage instruction can set timing outage or two-dimensional code scanning outage and the like, when the power supply is powered off and the shape memory alloy part 300 is not powered on, the swing arm 200 swings under the action of the reset part, so that the upper blocking section 230 leaves the bottom of the lowest cargo 10 in the storage channel 100, and the lower blocking section 240 supports the bottom of the lowest cargo in the storage channel 100 again to wait for a next shipment instruction.
Referring to fig. 4 to 6, the vending machine includes an outer casing 400 and a plurality of memory alloy driven delivery mechanisms disposed in the outer casing 400, so as to reduce the number of times of replenishing goods, and a goods access 410 corresponding to a dropping position of the goods is disposed at the bottom of the outer casing 400. The top of shell body 400 is provided with detachable goods and adds apron 401, when needs replenish goods, can lift this goods and add apron 401 off, adds goods 10 in the artifical storing passageway 100 that is not enough to the goods.
When a partition plate 11 is arranged at the bottom of each cargo 10, a falling plate slot 411 for the partition plate 11 to fall down can be arranged at the bottom of the cargo taking port 410, the falling plate slot 411 is arranged on the inclined slideway 412, the width of the falling plate slot 411 is larger than the thickness of the partition plate 11 and smaller than the outer diameter of the cargo 10, and thus the partition plate 11 falling together with the cargo can automatically fall into the falling plate slot 411 for recycling.
A display or indicator light 420 is also provided on the outer housing 400 to indicate the amount of the remaining cargo in each storage aisle 100, which can be monitored by the sensor 500 in cooperation with the control device.
The foregoing shows and describes the general principles, essential features, and advantages of the invention. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, which are described in the specification and illustrated only to illustrate the principle of the present invention, but that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, which fall within the scope of the invention as claimed. The scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and equivalents thereof.
