Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a gearmotor group for a product vending machine which has considerable utility and ease of use characteristics .
  • the ejection mechanism of the products usually consists of a spiral element, in the spirals of which the products are inserted which are destined to be sold, controlled by a gearmotor group equipped with gearbox preferably made of plastic material, in order to reduce the manufacturing costs .
  • the gearmotor group makes the spiral element rotate around its own axis, such that the selected product is ejected from the spiral itself to reach the exit mouth of the vending machine .
  • the spiral elements which support them can have different dimensions and pitch and above all their reciprocal distance can be varied. Consequently, the gearmotor groups coupled to such spiral elements are also organised so to be able to vary their position, increasing and decreasing the centre distances between gearmotor groups based on the typology and size of the product to be dispensed.
  • double gearmotor groups can be used. In practice, these are composed of a single gearbox with double centre distances comprising two spiral-carrier discs, with an internal gear system configured such that the two connected spirals, right and left, turn in an opposing manner. Based on this system, each product will be transported externally by both spirals, right and left, which respectively have clockwise and counter-clockwise winding sense.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore that of making a gearmotor group for a product vending machine capable of operating both as single module and as double module, with evident advantages in terms of savings on the production costs and versatility of the vending machine itself .
  • Another object of the invention is that of making a gearmotor group for a product vending machine which is easily and rapidly adaptable for use modality based on the typology of the offered products, facilitating both the use of spare parts and the rapid configuration of the vending machine directly in the place of use .
  • Figure 1 is an axonometric view of a product- carrier drawer of a vending machine equipped with a plurality of gearmotor groups according to the invention
  • Figure 2 is a front view of the gearmotor groups according to the invention and the related fixing grate :
  • Figure 3 is a front view of the gearmotor groups of figure 2, inserted in the related fixing grate according to several of the possible configurations;
  • Figure 4 is a top view of the gearmotor groups of figure 3 ;
  • Figure 5 is a rear side view of the gearmotor groups of figure 4; and Figure 6 is a perspective view of the gearmotor groups of figure 4.
  • the product- carrier drawer 10 is shown of a generic solid product vending machine, in which a plurality of spiral elements 12 are installed with different pitch for receiving and dispensing different products.
  • separation walls 14 can be possibly provided between one spiral and the other.
  • Each spiral element 12 is bound, by means of the interposition of a suitable spiral-carrier disc 18, to a gearmotor group 16 of double type, i.e. capable of simultaneously supporting and moving up to two spiral elements 12.
  • Each gearmotor group 16 operates according to known functioning modes, being equipped with a system of internal gears configured so to make the two spirals 12 simultaneously rotate, spirals connected according to opposing rotation directions.
  • a support grate 20 is provided in comb form, placed on the rear side of the drawer 10.
  • Such comb grate 20, which also supports the possible separation walls 14, is fixed to the drawer 10 of the vending machine by means of snap couplings or other equivalent fixing elements.
  • each gearmotor group 16 is equipped with a particular fixing system to the comb grate 20 composed of three blocks 22 of cubic form, visible for example in figures 2 and 6, made at regular centre distances on the front wall of the gearmotor group 16. Every side of the block 22 has appropriate dimensions in order to be stably inserted inside the corresponding slots 26 of the grate 20 and possesses an upper flanged edge 24 which acts as anchoring element of the block 22 to the front wall of the slot 26.
  • the three flanged blocks 22 have the same centre distance as the slots 26 of the grate 20, so to permit installing the gearmotor group 16 both horizontally, using both the discs 18 and the related spirals 12, and vertically, being able in the latter case to operate as a single motor, and consequently with a single connected spiral 12, or also with two overlapping spirals 12, in a configuration particularly adapted for the movement of tall products such as for example the bottles.
  • gearmotor group for a product vending machine is susceptible to numerous modifications and variations, all falling within the same inventive concept .
