いる。[0005] The eccentric cam 4 is constituted by an unloading cam 4a and a guide cam 4b formed integrally with or separately from the unloading cam 4a.
It is directly connected to. The carry-out cam 4a is a pair of left and right in a plate shape, and contacts the lowermost product 6A stored in the product support plate 2 by the rotation of the drive shaft 5 and pushes this toward the front edge of the product support plate 2. An outline is formed so as to perform an extruding operation. The guide cam 4b is the unloading cam 4
It is located at a substantially intermediate portion of a and is arranged so as to contact the guide 9. A contour is formed such that the product support plate 2 comes into contact with the product support plate 2 and the guide 9 by the rotation of the drive shaft 5, and the product support plate 2 tilts and returns from a substantially horizontal position to a front downward centering on the rotation shaft 7. I have. The drive shaft 5 is directly connected to a motor 10, and the motor 10 is controlled by a control device that operates based on a sales signal.
【0006】以上のように構成された自動販売機の商品
搬出装置について、以下その動作を説明する。The operation of the above-configured merchandise unloading device for a vending machine will be described below.

滑り出す。When the motor is driven by the control device based on the sales signal, the drive shaft 5 rotates, and the carry-out cam 4a and the guide cam 4b rotate in the directions indicated by arrows. The carry-out cam 4a pushes the lowermost product 6A forward from the rear end of the product support plate 2. Synchronously with the ejection of the product 6A by the unloading cam 4a, the contact position between the guide cam 4b, the guide 9, and the product support plate 2 changes according to the contour of the guide cam 4b. Tilting forward. As a result, the distance between the product 6B stacked in contact with the upper portion of the product 6A and the product support plate 2 is increased.
Since the thickness is larger than the thickness of A, the product 6A starts to slide under its own weight.

商品を支持し待機状態となる。Further, the drive shaft 5 is further inclined as the rotation of the drive shaft 5 progresses, so that the product 6A is smoothly carried forward. During this time, the products 6B, 6C, 6D and 6E descend while following the shape of the carry-out cam 4a as the rotation of the drive shaft 5 proceeds while being supported by the carry-out cam 4a. When the center of gravity of the product 6A passes through the front edge of the product support plate 2, the product 6A falls while rotating in the direction of the arrow and reaches the outlet. The product support plate 2 that has tilted forward and downward returns to its original position by the guide 9 that moves according to the shape of the guide cam 4b. Then, before the lowermost product 6B has been lowered to the predetermined position, the product support plate 2 returns to the original position, supports the remaining products, and enters a standby state.
