1. A driving device for a bucket of a vending machine, comprising:
a frame;
a motor arranged on the frame;
a transmission mechanism in transmission connection with the an output shaft of the motor; and
a power output wheel in transmission connection with the transmission mechanism;
wherein the transmission mechanism is configured to drive the power output wheel to rotate and to move from a first position to a second position when the output shaft of the motor rotates in a first preset direction;
wherein the transmission mechanism is also configured to drive the power output wheel to move from the second position to the first position when the output shaft of the motor rotates in a second preset direction;
wherein the first preset direction is opposite to the second preset direction;
wherein the transmission mechanism comprises a swing member, an intermediate transmission assembly and a one-way transmission assembly;
wherein the power output wheel is rotationally arranged on the swing member, the output shaft of the motor is in transmission connection with the power output wheel through the intermediate transmission assembly, and the output shaft of the motor is connected with the swing member through the one-way transmission assembly;
when the output shaft of the motor rotates in the first preset direction, the one-way transmission assembly is unlocked, the swing member swings in a third preset direction under the action of external force to drive the power output wheel to move from the first position to the second position, and the power of the motor is transmitted to the power output wheel through the intermediate transmission assembly to rotate the power output wheel;
when the output shaft of the motor rotates in the second preset direction, the one-way transmission assembly is locked, and the power of the motor is transmitted to the swing member through the one-way transmission assembly, so that the swing member swings in a fourth preset direction under the drive of the motor, and the power output wheel is driven to move from the second position to the first position;
wherein the third preset direction is opposite to the fourth preset direction.
