Gravity-box-based snack vending apparatus and network vending system using the apparatus

A gravity-box-based snack vending apparatus, comprising a storage container for storing snacks, and a delivery module, a bottom of the storage container being in communication with a material outlet of the delivery module, wherein the delivery module comprises a discharging apparatus housing and a transmission apparatus:

• the transmission apparatus comprises a driving gear driven by an external force, a driven gear engaged with the driving gear, and a rotating wheel structure coaxially rotating with the driven gear;
• the rotating wheel structure comprises a rotating shaft and blades mounted on the rotating shaft:
• the rotating shaft and the blades are provided across a material outlet:
• when granular materials fall on the blades, two front and rear blades in a static state just block the material outlet;
• and during discharging, the driving gear is driven by the external force to drive the driven gear, the rotating wheel structure and the blades to rotate, so as to pull out the granular materials falling on the blades from below the material outlet;
• wherein an inner cavity of the storage container is provided with a material falling inclined surface being at a certain angle with a horizontal plane;
• a lower end of the material falling inclined surface is layered in a stepped manner;
• a discharging port is formed in the lower end of the material falling inclined surface;
• a delivery module limiting groove is formed in the discharging port;
• and the delivery module is mounted on the discharging port.
