Abstract
A crawler-type automatic vending machine includes a replenishment unit, m transfer units, n container units, a detection and control unit, a cloud management platform and a payment system. The replenishment unit, the transfer units and the container units are connected successively to form an integral crawler-type automatic vending machine, wherein m and n are natural numbers other than 0; when n is equal to 1, m is equal 1; when n is greater than 1, m is equal to n+1; and when n is greater than 1 and m is equal to n+1, the m transfer units and the n container units are connected alternately, and the last unit is the transfer unit. When n is equal to 1 and m is equal 1, the transfer units and the container units are made into an integral structure.
