The operation of the article supply device 1 in the present embodiment will be described. Fig. 8 is a flowchart of the operation of the article supply device 1.
First, when the article supply device 1 is started, the display control unit 102 displays an operation screen on the operation display unit 4 (step 100). Fig. 9 is a view showing an example of an operation screen displayed on the operation display unit 4. As shown in fig. 9, selection buttons of a card a, a card pack B, a sticker C, and a transparent folder D are displayed on the operation screen.
When the price of the item is detected and the operation display unit 4 senses the contact (touch) of the user with the operation display unit 4 (step 101), the operation display unit 4 notifies the item supply control unit 103 of the selected item. Then, the article supply control unit 103 determines whether or not the price detection unit 100 detects the price of the selected article (step 102).
When the settlement is completed, the article supply control unit 103 determines whether or not the selected article is an article of the first category (step 103). In the present embodiment, the card a and the card pack B are items of the first category. The article supply control unit 103 determines whether the selected article is of the first type, and determines whether or not the lottery process is necessary (step 104).
When the selected article is the card a, the article supply control unit 103 executes the above-described lottery process to determine a card dispenser to supply the card a (step 105). The article supply control unit 103 provides a supply instruction of the card a to the card dispenser determined by the lottery (step 106). On the other hand, when the card pack B for which the lottery process is not necessary is selected, the article supply control unit 103 performs the lottery process on the card dispenser 12 5 An indication of the supply of card pack B is provided (step 106).
Card dispenser 12 of the first category receiving a supply instruction 1 ～12 6 A card a or a card pack B is supplied (step 107). Supplied withThe card a or the card bundle B of (a) is supplied to the first supply port 5 via the guide portion 14 (step 108).
On the other hand, when the selected article is not the first type of article (in this example, the sticker C or the transparent folder D), the article supply control unit 103 controls the card dispenser 13 corresponding to the selected article 1 Or 13 2 A supply indication is provided (step 109).
Card dispenser 13 of the second type receiving the supply instruction 1 Or 13 2 A sticker C or a transparent folder D is supplied (step 110). The fed sticker C or transparent folder D is fed to the second feeding port 6 via the guide portion 15 (step 111). Fig. 10 is a view of the state in which the sticker C is supplied to the second supply port 6 as viewed from the upper part of the main body. As shown in fig. 10, the sticker C as the second type of article is horizontally fed from the second feeding port 6.
In this way, the article supply device 1 supplies the first-type article and the second-type article.
In the present embodiment, two supply ports (first supply port and second supply port) are provided in the article supply device 1, and paths for guiding articles to the respective supply ports are made different, thereby making it possible to supply two types of articles having large differences in size. The two types of articles are a first type of article (card a or card pack B) guided to the first supply port 5 by the guide portion 14 and a second type of article (sticker C or transparent folder D) guided to the second supply port 6 by the guide portion 15.
By configuring as described above, even in the case of supplying the second type of article larger than the first type of article, the length of the depth of the article supply device 1 can be prevented from being enlarged. For example, in the case where a method for feeding the articles (the sticker C or the transparent folder D) of the second type to the supply port by dropping is employed in the same manner as the card a, the depth x of the guide path 20 must be set to be at least longer than the length l in the longitudinal direction of the transparent folder D. In this way, the length in the depth direction of the article supply device 1 increases. On the other hand, if the supply is set to a horizontal movement in the same manner as in the case of the second type of article (the sticker C or the transparent folder D) with respect to the first type of article (the card a or the card pack B), it is necessary to provide the supply port at a position corresponding to all the layers where the card dispenser is disposed, which is not realistic.
As described above, the article supply device 1 according to the present embodiment is provided with two supply ports (first supply port and second supply port) and makes the paths for guiding the articles to the respective supply ports different, thereby preventing the article supply device 1 from being enlarged and enabling a plurality of types of articles to be supplied. In addition, by providing a plurality of layers in the height direction and providing a plurality of storage devices (card dispensers) for the first type of articles (card a or card pack B), the types of the first type of articles to be supplied can be increased.
