In addition, when implementing to supplement action, by driving push rod 11 with driving mechanism 20, the preparation cup string C2 pushing in preparation commodity hurdle 9 is moved it to side, merchandising hurdle 8.Now, the upper linking part 11b of push rod 11 is formed as bending projectedly laterally relative to the side of preparation cup string C2, therefore in push rod 11, on it, linking part 11b can not abut with cup string, and pressing portion 11a abuts with the side of preparation cup string C2 and is urged to by preparation cup string C2 and sells cup string C1 side.Thus, different from the cup supply apparatus of patent documentation 1, the upper end becoming preparation cup string C2 can be avoided by the state of 3 dot point.Thereby, it is possible to avoid preparation cup string C2 to block in cup collector 2, or the cup C near the upper end of preparation cup string C2 becomes unsettled in cup collector 2, and can to suitably supplementing preparation cup string C2 in merchandising hurdle 8.As mentioned above, the reduction of manufacturing cost and the increase of cup storage quantity can be reached, and preparation cup string C2 is suitably supplemented into selling cup string C1.
Moreover, embodiment is the example making the upper linking part 11b of push rod 11 be configured to the flat shape of " く " font, but the upper linking part of push rod of the present invention is not limited thereto, as long as being configured in the side with the cup string in preparation cup string incorporating section is non-contacting state.Such as, also can make the upper linking part of push rod be configured to diameter larger than the external diameter of the flanging part of cup C, the flat shape of the arc-shaped that is bent into protrusion laterally, or to be configured to bending be laterally the trapezoidal flat shape protruded.
In addition, embodiment is example cup supply apparatus 1 of the present invention being applied to cup type automatic vendor, but cup supply apparatus of the present invention 1 is not limited thereto, and can be applied to the various cup drink generators such as beverage dispenser.
And then embodiment is provided with 1 example as the preparation commodity hurdle 9 of preparation cup string incorporating section in cup supply apparatus 1, but also can arrange multiple preparation commodity hurdle 9.
In addition, the cup collector 2A shown in Fig. 6 also can be used to replace the cup collector 2 of embodiment.When this glass of collector 2A, as shown in Fig. 6 (a), the roof 4B of collector main body 4A is rear articulated opening and closing structure, forms beyond this point identically with the cup collector 2 of embodiment.When using such cup collector 2A, there is the advantage of the following stated.
First, in the cup collector 2 of embodiment, when it is safeguarded, such as shown in Fig. 7 (a), (b), under the state that the cup quantity of selling cup string C1 decreases, when glass C being supplemented to sale cup string C1 with manual working, after supplementary cup string C3 is first lifted near the inside surface of the roof of cup collector 2, make it move again downwards, be stacked on and sell on cup string C1.
Now, as shown in Fig. 7 (a), need the lower end of supplementary cup string C3 can not be abutted with the upper end of selling cup string C1, and supplementary cup string C3 is put into collector main body 4, when therefore supplementary cup string C3 being stacked on sale cup string C1, between the upper end of selling cup string C1 and the roof of cup collector 2, as shown in Fig. 7 (b), create the gap about the height dimension of glass C.
On the other hand, when cup collector 2A, as shown in Fig. 6 (b), roof 4B jack-up can be opened it by supplementary its upper end of cup string C3, and move downwards after lifting more than the height dimension of glass C, be stacked on and sell on cup string C1.As a result, as shown in Fig. 6 (b), sale cup string C1 can be made to be supplemented to the height of its upper end close to the roof of cup collector 2A, more cup C can be supplemented compared with the cup collector 2 of embodiment.Thereby, it is possible to improve the commodity performance of cup supply apparatus.
In addition, the roof of glass collector also can be made to be configured to slide at above-below direction, to replace the roof 4B of above-mentioned hinge type structure.When forming in this wise, also can obtain the action effect same with above-mentioned cup collector 2A.
