Description

Automatic vending machine control system

Technical Field

The utility model relates to an automatic vending machine technical field especially relates to an automatic vending machine control system.

Background

Conventional vending machines have been keyboard or key-press purchase of goods. With the continuous upgrade of modern information technology, the requirements of the novel vending machine are that the novel vending machine can realize cashless payment, can remotely control the commodity information updating and can purchase through a touch screen. At present, the transformation method aiming at the traditional vending machine uses an industrial personal computer specially developed aiming at a main controller of the traditional vending machine, and the main controller of the vending machine is connected with the industrial personal computer through a serial port. The vending machine main controller and the industrial personal computer use a specific communication protocol to realize functions such as cashless payment, commodity information display, touch screen commodity purchasing operation and the like.

As shown in fig. 1, the vending machine master in the prior art uses MDB protocol, serial port, GPIO to communicate with peripheral modules. Under the MDB protocol, only the main controller of the vending machine is used as a main machine, and all other peripheral modules are used as slave machines. As for the industrial computer that develops specially for reforming transform traditional vending machine VMC mainboard passes through the serial ports and is connected with the vending machine master controller under the agreement of producer customization, use different agreements when consequently causing different peripheral hardware and can not directly communicate because the industrial computer communicates with other peripheral hardware and vending machine master controller. Therefore, the method for acquiring the vending machine information and controlling the vending machine by the industrial personal computer is greatly limited, and the function expansion of the industrial personal computer on the vending machine is also limited.

Therefore, a new vending machine control system is urgently needed in the field, so that the industrial personal computer can communicate with other peripheral equipment and control the other peripheral equipment.

SUMMERY OF THE UTILITY MODEL

The utility model aims to solve the technical problem that improve the communication mode of vending machine master controller and peripheral hardware modular unit for can realize communication between the peripheral hardware module.

In order to solve the technical problem, the utility model provides an automatic vending machine control system, which comprises a vending machine master controller 1, a touch screen industrial personal computer 2, a key unit 3, a goods output unit 4 and a remote controller 5; be provided with IEBUS drive unit 8 in the vending machine master controller 1, all use the IEBUS bus to connect between vending machine master controller 1, the touch screen industrial computer 2, button unit 3, shipment unit 4 and the remote controller 5 to communicate according to the IEBUS agreement.

In one embodiment, the vending machine control system further comprises a nixie tube display unit 6 and a cash receipt and payment unit 7, an MDB driving unit 9 and a GPIO driving unit are further arranged in the vending machine master 1, the nixie tube display unit 6 is connected and communicated with the vending machine master 1 according to a GPIO control protocol, and the cash receipt and payment unit 7 is connected and communicated with the vending machine master 1 according to an MDB communication protocol.

In one embodiment, the vending machine control system further comprises a nixie tube display unit 6 and a cash receipt and payment unit 7, said nixie tube display unit 6 and cash receipt and payment unit 7 being in communicative connection with the vending machine master 1 according to an IEBUS communication protocol.

Compared with the prior art, the control system of the utility model has the following invention points:

1. the utility model discloses in used IEBUS bus connection vending machine master controller and peripheral hardware module to communication between the peripheral hardware module has been realized, make the industrial computer can other peripheral hardware modules of direct control.

2. Because realized that the touch screen industrial computer can other peripheral hardware modules of direct control, consequently the utility model discloses an automatic vending machine control system can realize the shipment unit with a plurality of automatic vending machines of touch screen industrial computer simultaneous control to reduce the quantity of industrial computer.

Additional features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by the practice of the invention. The objectives and other advantages of the invention will be realized and attained by the structure particularly pointed out in the written description and claims hereof as well as the appended drawings.

Drawings

The accompanying drawings are included to provide a further understanding of the invention, and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, together with the description of embodiments of the invention, serve to explain the invention and not to limit the invention. In the drawings:

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a prior art vending machine control system;

fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a vending machine control system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a vending machine control system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The vending machine control system of the present embodiment will be described with reference to fig. 2.

The utility model discloses an automatic vending machine control system, which comprises a vending machine master controller 1, a touch screen industrial personal computer 2, a key unit 3, a goods output unit 4 and a remote controller 5; be provided with IEBUS drive unit 8 in the vending machine master controller 1, all use the IEBUS bus to connect between vending machine master controller 1, the touch screen industrial computer 2, button unit 3, shipment unit 4 and the remote controller 5 to communicate according to the IEBUS agreement. The IEBUS addresses of the respective modules described above can be set as shown in the following table.

Functional component	IEBus address
		Vending machine master controller	0x100
Key unit	0x101
		Remote controller	0x102
Touch screen industrial personal computer	0x103
		Delivery unit 1	0x200
…
		Delivery unit 16	0x20F

According to the address setting mode, under an IEBUS communication protocol, the touch screen industrial personal computer 2 can directly control the goods discharging devices, and when a plurality of goods discharging devices are connected like an IEBUS bus, one touch industrial personal computer can be realized to control the plurality of goods discharging devices.
