Is the vending machine waterproof and rainproof?
2023-09-05
We all know that places such as schools, factories, hospitals, stations, tourist attractions, etc. with high traffic or large crowds and relatively enclosed spaces are ideal locations for vending machines. Some of these places are indoor, while others are outdoor. When placing a Vending Machine outdoors, a friend asked what to pay attention to. Is the vending machine waterproof and rainproof? I want to make it clear to everyone that in the entire vending machine industry, vending machines are not waterproof or rainproof, especially models with large touch screens. It is industry common sense for the screen to malfunction when encountering water. Just like mobile phones, if the screen gets wet, it cannot be operated. Soaking in water or being caught in rain can also lead to circuit board corrosion and damage. 
If the vending machine is soaked in water, it will definitely enter the interior of the machine. The connection of the charging port on the machine can also get wet in heavy rain, and the QR code on the machine may fade and fall off after prolonged exposure to wind and sun. So, when selecting the location of the vending machine, it is required that the ground be sturdy, flat, and slightly higher to prevent accidents such as machine tilting caused by ground collapse during rain or water ingress caused by low-lying areas. We also need to build a rainproof shed to prevent the machine from getting directly exposed to rain. The requirement for a rainproof shed is not too high, and it can normally block out wind and rain.
