DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an article dispensing device, and more particularly, to a variety of playgrounds and customer gatherings.
The article which is hung on the article transport base in a state that can be visually recognized from the outside and is stored in the article storage case, and which is naturally dropped at the end of the transport base by inserting money or a dedicated coin, and is paid out. The present invention relates to an article dispensing device used by being attached to a storage case.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as an article dispensing apparatus provided in such an article storage case, there is, for example, one having a structure shown in FIG. That is, the article dispensing apparatus has a rod-shaped convex body 3a attached to a variety of articles 4 to be dispensed in advance and for hanging a hanging member 4a of a predetermined length using, for example, an annular string or an annular chain at a predetermined interval. The loop-shaped transport belt 3 comprises a transport base 2 of a predetermined length provided to be movable toward one end via a motor 5 and a pair of drive and driven pulleys 6, 6a.

[0003] The article dispensing apparatus 1 having the above-described structure is provided with a transport base 2 for facilitating the dispensing of the suspended articles 4.
The other end on the side of the motor 5 is fixed in an article storage case (not shown) so that the one end on the side opposite to the motor 5 is inclined downward. In the article dispensing apparatus 1, first, the hanging tool 4 a is moved to one end side (front side) of the transport base 2 so as to pass the transport base 2 into an annular space formed in the hanging tool 4 a attached to the article 4. From the other end (rear side) of the transfer base 2, the hook 4 a is sequentially hooked from the convex body 3 a on the other end side of the transport base 2 to the convex body 3 a on the one end side. A predetermined number of articles 4 can be suspended and set on the transport base 2.

Accordingly, the article 4 suspended from the upper surface 2a side of the transport base 2 through the transport base 2 into the annular space of the suspending tool 4a on the convex body 3a of the transport belt 3 transfers the article to the transport belt 3. By moving the transfer base 2 toward one end, the transfer base 2 can be naturally dropped from the convex body 3a that goes around the lower side of the transfer base 2 at one end of the transfer base 2 and can be dispensed.

[0005]

However, the above-mentioned conventional article dispensing apparatus has the following problems.

In other words, the article dispensing apparatus 1 has the other end on the motor 5 side inclined so that one end on the side opposite to the motor 5 of the transport base 2 is inclined downward to facilitate the dispensing of the suspended articles 4. Since the article 4 is fixed and used in the article storage case, for example, when the weight of the article 4 suspended by the convex body 3a of the transport belt 3 is heavy, the downward pulling force due to the weight of the article 4 is low. The projections 3a will be hung via the hanging members 4a.

Therefore, when the article 4 is dispensed, the transport belt 3 that has moved toward the one end of the transport base 2 stops, so that a downward pulling force due to the weight of the article 4 is applied to the convex body 3a. The transfer belt 3 is momentarily applied via the suspender 4a, and therefore, depending on the weight of the article 4, the transfer belt 3 near the convex body 3a is in a floating state (not shown), and the transfer belt 3 moves smoothly. There was a problem that was not done.

Further, the article dispensing apparatus 1 having the above-mentioned configuration.
As shown in FIG. 4 (b), a convex body which goes around the lower side of the transport base 2 at one end of the transport base 2 by moving the transport belt 3 toward one end side of the transport base 2 as shown in FIG. Since the articles 4 are naturally dropped and discharged sequentially from 3a, when replenishing the articles 4, the articles 4 must be sequentially moved from the other end of the transport base 2, that is, from the back side of the transport base 2 to one end side. It must be replenished by hanging.

Therefore, even when replenishment is performed before all of the articles 4 are paid out, the articles 4 remaining on one end of the transport base 2 are temporarily removed from the other end (rear side) of the transport base 2. Convex body 3a
After that, the articles 4 to be replenished must be suspended and replenished sequentially from the front of the relocated articles 4 toward one end of the transport base 2.

Therefore, the article 4 to be dispensed is transferred to the transport base 2.
In addition to the fact that there is no significant difference between the trouble of replenishing a large number of new articles 4 to the transport base 2 when it is not present, and the trouble of replenishing only one new article 4 to the transport base 2, for example, In the case where a large number of articles 4 to be dispensed remain on the transport base 2, the work of replacing or replenishing the hanging portions of the articles 4 is prolonged, and during that time, not only the article dispensing apparatus 1 but also the article storage housing is used. I can't do it,
As a result, a problem arises in that sales are reduced due to a decrease in the occupancy rate.

Therefore, in order to solve this problem, for example,
As shown in FIG. 5 (a), a hanger attached to the article 4
4a from the side 2b direction of the transport base 2 to the convex body 3a of the transport belt 3.
, The article 4 to be replenished from anywhere in the side 2b direction can be extremely easily suspended on the convex body 3a of the transport belt 3 regardless of the presence or absence of the article 4 suspended on the transport base 2. However, even in this case, if the weight of the article 4 is heavy, the conveying belt near the convex body 3a is pulled by the tensile force in the direction of the side surface 2b applied to the convex body 3a via the weight of the article 4. 3 easily lifts in the width direction intersecting its own longitudinal direction (arrow A), so that the lifting tool 4a is separated from the slanted convex body 3a via the lifted conveyor belt 3, and the article 4 falls. There is fear.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), when the article 4 is suspended from the direction of the side surface 2b of the transport base 2 to the convex body 3a of the transport belt 3 via the suspender 4a as described above, Moves the conveyor belt 3 toward one end of the conveyor base 2 (arrow B)
When the article 4 is dispensed, the hanging tool 4a slides on the side surface 2b of the transport base 2 so that the hanging tool 4a slides.
4a moves with a slight delay from the movement of the conveyor belt 3.

Therefore, for example, when the weight of the article 4 is light, each of the articles 4 located before and after may be entangled. In any case, the article 4 suspended on the side surface 2b side of the transport base 2 may be used. The above-described various inconveniences have occurred when the payout is performed by moving the transfer base 2 toward the one end side of the transfer base 2 via the movement of the transfer belt 3.

The present invention solves all of the above-mentioned problems, and the article 4 having a heavy own weight is moved to the convex body of the conveyor belt 3.
In order to facilitate the replenishment of the articles 4 as well as the case of dispensing the articles by suspending them on the conveyor belt 3a,
Even when the article 4 is hung on the convex body 3a, the transport belt 3 can be prevented from easily floating due to its own weight, and the transport belt can be moved very smoothly. When the article 4 is hung on the convex body 3a of the conveyor belt 3 from the side 2b direction, not only the removal of the hanging member 4a from the convex body 3a but also the side surface of the conveyor base 2 can be prevented. An extremely excellent article that can also reduce the sliding frictional resistance between the hanging member 2a and the hanging member 4a that slides on the side surface 2b, and can also eliminate the inconvenience of each of the articles 4 located in front and behind when the conveyor belt 3 moves. It is an object to provide a dispensing device.

[0015]

That is, the article dispensing apparatus of the present invention is hooked on a convex body 3a of a conveyor belt 3 provided on a conveyor base 2 via a hanging member 4a of a predetermined length. The articles 4 suspended from the upper surface 2a side of the transport base 2 are naturally dropped from a convex body 3a which goes around the lower side of the transport base 2 at the end of the transport base 2 by the movement of the transport belt 3. In the article dispensing apparatus provided with an article dispensing mechanism for dispensing, the transport base 2 is prevented from lifting the transport belt 3 by applying a tensile force due to its own weight of the article 4 to the convex body 3a via the hanging member 4a. The lifting device 4a is provided so that the article 4 having a heavy own weight passes through the transfer base 2 into an annular space formed in the hanging device 4a attached to the product 4. Not only when the product is hung on the transport base 2 and paid out, but also So that the transport base 2 is passed through the annular space formed in the hanging tool 4a attached to the
4a from the side 2b of the transfer base 2 without moving the transfer base 4a from one end of the transfer base 2 to the other end.
Even if the articles 4 are easily replenished by suspending the suspenders 4a on the conveyor 3a and then dispensed in the direction of one end of the transport base 2 via the movement of the transport belt 3, the articles are suspended on the convex bodies 3a. Conveyor belt 3 near the convex body 3a via the weight of the article 4
There is an advantage that it is possible to prevent the lifting device 4a from floating and prevent the lifting device 4a from coming off from the convex body 3a.

Further, the upper surface of the transfer base 2 is placed on the transfer base 2.
Friction resistance for reducing the sliding frictional resistance between the side surface 2b of the transfer base 2 and the hanging tool 4a of the article 4 that is suspended from the side 2a to the side surface 2b of the transfer base 2 and moves together with the transfer belt 3 When the reducing means is provided, by always reducing the sliding frictional resistance between the side surface 2b of the transfer base 2 and the hanging member 4a, the hanging member 4a is always moved in synchronization with the movement of the conveyor belt 3. Therefore, there is an advantage that the inconvenience in which each of the articles 4 located before and after is entangled can be eliminated.

Further, when the transport belt 3 is configured to be movable in one end direction and the other end direction of the transport base 2, the articles 4 suspended on the convex body 3a of the transport belt 3 are transported. It is possible to pay out from both ends of the base 2, so that, for example, different types of articles 4 are suspended from substantially the center of the conveyor belt 3 in one end direction and the other end direction of the transfer base 2 respectively. Accordingly, there is an advantage that the dispensing of the articles 4 of different types can be performed by one article dispensing apparatus.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS <First Embodiment> An embodiment of an article dispensing apparatus according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings, but the description of the same parts as those of the conventional article dispensing apparatus will be omitted.

In FIG. 1A, reference numeral 1 denotes an article dispensing apparatus according to the present invention, which is previously placed at a predetermined location in an article storage case (not shown) installed in a variety of playgrounds, customer gatherings, and the like. The articles 4 provided on the transport base 2 and suspended on the respective convex bodies 3a of the transport belt 3 moving toward the one end side on the side opposite to the motor 5 in a state where the articles 4 can be visually recognized from the outside of the article storage housing. Multiple units are attached (not shown).

Each of the suspended articles 4 is
From the direction of one side surface 2b of the transfer base 2, the upper surface 2a of the transfer base 2
Is suspended from the convex body 3a of the transport belt 3 located on the side via a suspending tool 4a, and the transport base 2 is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, the side surface 2b on which the article 4 is suspended as a frictional resistance reducing means for reducing the sliding frictional resistance between the hanging member 4a of the article 4 moving with the transport belt 3 and the side surface 2b of the transport base 2. Is mounted in the article storage case at an angle of about 45 degrees, and the article 4 is attached to the transport base 2 via the hanging member 4a.
The upper and lower surface portions of the transport base 2 along the longitudinal direction of the transport base 2 are provided with belt holding pieces 9 (lifting preventing means) for preventing the transport belt 3 from floating due to the tensile force exerted on the convex body 3a due to its own weight. It is provided in.

As described above, when the transport base 2 is mounted in the article housing by being inclined at approximately 45 degrees to the side surface 2b on which the articles 4 are suspended, the suspenders 4a that move via the transport belt 3 are provided. Of the suspension 4a and the corner of the upper surface 2a on the side surface 2b of the transport base 2 on which the article 4 is suspended by avoiding the sliding of the substantially entire surface with the side surface 2b. There is an advantage that dynamic friction resistance can be reduced.

Numeral 8 is provided at the end of one side surface 2b of the transport base 2 in the direction of one end via a mounting stay 12, and is suspended on the one side surface 2b of the transport base 2 via the transport belt 3. The moving object 4 is naturally dropped from the convex body 3a wrapping toward the lower side of the transfer base 2 at the end of the transfer base 2 and immediately before being dispensed, the article 4 is in contact with the hanging member 4a via the sensing piece 8a. 5 shows an article ejection detection switch that outputs an ejection signal.

The article dispensing apparatus according to the present invention has the above-described configuration. A case will be described in which the following article dispensing apparatus is used. First, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), when the money or a special coin is inserted, one end of the conveyor belt 3 is connected to the motor 5 provided on the conveyor base 2 and each of the pair of driving and driven pulleys 6, 6a. If you move it to the side (arrow C),
First, the endmost convex body 3a (H1) starts to wrap around the lower side of the transport base 2 at one end of the transport base 2, but at this time, the convex body 3a (H1) is suspended by the convex body 3a (H1). When the hanging member 4a of the article 4 touches the sensing piece 8a of the article ejection detection switch 8, the article ejection signal is output from the article ejection detection switch 8.

When the article dispensing signal output from the article dispensing sensing switch 8 is input to the control device (not shown) of the article dispensing apparatus 1, the motor 5 is stopped after a predetermined time. Then, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), the article 4 that has moved via the conveyor belt 3 wraps around the lower end of the conveyor base 2 at the end of the conveyor base 2 and protrudes 3a (H1).
3a (H1) to the position where it falls naturally and is paid out
Can be reliably moved (arrow D), so that each of the convex bodies 3a (H2), (H
3) and (H4), the article 4 can be reliably paid out sequentially.

It is also essential in the present invention that the motor 5 is stopped after a predetermined time when the article ejection signal output from the article ejection detection switch 8 is input to the control device of the article ejection apparatus 1 as described above. In other words, whether the motor 5 is stopped after a certain time or the motor 5 is stopped instantaneously when the article ejection detection switch 8 is operated is determined by the mounting position of the article ejection detection switch 8 or the sensing piece 8a. Is determined not only by the shape of the belt, but also by various conditions such as the diameter of the pulley and the moving speed of the conveyor belt 3.

Therefore, according to the article dispensing apparatus 1 which operates as described above, the transport belt 3 is lifted by the pulling force of the article 4 due to its own weight being applied to the transport base 2 via the hanging member 4a on the convex body 3a. Is provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the transfer base 2 along the longitudinal direction of the transfer base 2, for example, the article 4 having a heavy own weight can be removed from the transfer base 2. 4 so that the transport base 2 passes through the annular space formed in the hanging tool 4a attached to the hanging tool 4a.
In addition to the case in which the transfer base 4a is hung on the transfer base 2 and paid out, the transfer base 2 is passed through the transfer base 2 so as to pass through the transfer base 2 into an annular space formed in the hanger 4a attached to the various articles 4. Stand 2
The article 4 is easily replenished by suspending the hanging member 4a on the convex body 3a of the transport belt 3 from the side 2b of the transport base 2 without moving the transport belt from one end side to the other end side. In the case of dispensing in the direction of one end of the transport base 2 through the movement of the transport base 3, the transport belt 3 near the convex body 3a rises due to the weight of the article 4 suspended on the convex body 3a. This has the advantage that the lifting member 4a can be prevented from coming off from the convex body 3a.

Further, the transport base 2 has a hanging member 4a for an article 4 which is suspended from the upper surface 2a of the transport base 2 to the side 2b of the transport base 2 and moves together with the transport belt 3. As a frictional resistance reducing means for reducing the sliding frictional resistance with the side surface 2b of the transfer base 2, the article 4 is attached to the suspended side surface 2b at an angle of about 45 degrees in the article storage case. A point contact is made between one part of the hanging member 4a and a corner of the upper surface 2a on the side surface 2b of the transport base 2 on which the article 4 is hung, avoiding that the whole of the hanging member 4a slides on the side surface 2b. Therefore, the side surface 2b of the transfer base 2 and the hanging device
By reducing the sliding frictional resistance with the conveyor belt 4a, the hanging member 4a can always be moved in synchronization with the movement of the conveyor belt 3, thereby eliminating the inconvenience of each of the articles 4 located in front and behind. There is an advantage that can be.

As described above, the frictional resistance reducing means is as follows.
When the article 4 is mounted in the article storage case at an angle of about 45 degrees to the side 2b where the article 4 is suspended, one part of the hanging tool 4a and the side 2b of the transport base 2 where the article 4 is suspended. Top surface 2a
There is an advantage that the sliding frictional resistance can be reduced by making point contact with the corner, but a space is generated between the transport base 2 and the article 4 due to the inclination of the transport base 2. .

Therefore, the space between the transport base 2 and the article 4 as described above allows the hanging tool 4a to be set short, thereby reducing the cost of the article 4 to be paid out. There is an advantage that you can.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the article dispensing device is provided on the transport base 2 in advance at a predetermined location in an article storage case (not shown) installed in various types of playgrounds, customer centers, and the like. Then, a case where a plurality of articles 4 suspended on the respective convex bodies 3a of the transport belt 3 moving toward the one end side on the side opposite to the motor 5 can be attached so as to be visible from the outside of the article storage housing. Although described above, the present invention is not necessarily limited to the case where the transport belt 3 moves only in one end side direction.
As shown in (a), a projection-like intermediate position detecting actuator 3b is provided on the transport belt 3, and a pair of the same article ejection detection switches 8 and the transport base are provided at both ends on the side surface 2b side of the transport base 2. Sensing pieces 11 for detecting the actuator 3b for detecting the intermediate position are provided on support tables 7 provided at both ends of the table 2.
and a pair of limit switches 11 provided with a. may be provided so that the transport belt 3 can be moved in one end direction and the other end direction of the transport base 2.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a photo sensor for determining the intermediate position of the conveyor belt 3 by detecting the intermediate position detecting actuator 3b.
The control device (not shown) can determine the initial position of the transport belt 3 by operating the.

According to the article dispensing apparatus 1 having such a configuration, first, as shown in FIG. 2B, first, the transporter located beforehand on the motor 5 side and the counter motor 5 side with the intermediate position detecting actuator 3b as the center. After suspending different types of articles 4 on each of the convex bodies 3a of the belt 3, a motor 5 and a pair of driving and driven pulleys 6, 6a provided on the transport base 2 are inserted by inserting money or exclusive coins. Conveyor belt 3 via
Is moved to the motor 5 side (the other end side) (arrow E), first, the protrusion 3a (L1) located at the extreme end is moved downward at the end of the transfer base 2 at the end of the transfer base 2. At this time, when the hanging member 4a of the article 4 suspended on the convex body 3a (L1) touches the sensing piece 8a of the article ejection detection switch 8, the article ejection detection switch 8 An article payout signal is output.

Thereafter, when an article ejection signal output from the article ejection sensing switch 8 is input to a control device (not shown) of the article ejection apparatus 1, the motor 5 is stopped after a predetermined time to convey the article. The article 4 that has moved via the belt 3 is naturally dropped from the convex body 3a (L1) wrapping around the lower side of the transport base 2 at the end of the transport base 2 to a position where it is paid out. ) Can be reliably moved (arrow E).

Next, the conveyor belt 3 from which the article 4 has been paid out
Starts moving in the opposite direction (not shown) via the control device, and thereafter, the intermediate position detecting actuator 3b
Is detected by the photo sensor 10, the conveyor belt 3 stops and stands by at the initial position.

Therefore, for example, by repeating the movement of the transport belt 3 to the motor 5 side as described above, each of the convex bodies 3a (L
2), the articles 4 suspended in (L3) can be sequentially paid out, but at this time, as shown in FIG. The detection actuator 3b comes into contact with the limit switch 11.

Therefore, the intermediate position detecting actuator 3b
When the controller touches the limit switch 11, the controller recognizes the end of the article dispensing, moves the conveyor belt 3 in the opposite direction (not shown), and when the photo sensor 10 detects the intermediate position detecting actuator 3b as described above. When the intermediate position detecting actuator 3b touches the limit switch 11, for example, the conveyance belt 3 stops and waits for the initial position. By notifying the running out of articles using signals, images, etc., not only can the article storage enclosure be used completely unattended, but also frequently check the inventory of various articles stored in the article storage enclosure. There is an advantage that replenishment of articles can be performed extremely efficiently without any trouble.

In the above embodiment, the case where the conveyor belt 3 is moved toward the motor 5 is described. However, even when the conveyor belt 3 is moved toward the counter motor 5 (the other end), the convex bodies 3a are sequentially moved.
Article 4 hung on (R1), (R2), (R3)
Therefore, when the transport base 2 is configured to be movable in one end direction and the other end direction as described above, the convex 3a of the transport belt 3 is provided. Can be dispensed from both ends of the transport base 2, and thus, for example, different types of articles 4 can be moved from substantially the center of the transport belt 3 toward one end and the other end of the transport base 2. There is an advantage in play that the dispensing of different kinds of articles 4 can be performed by one article dispensing apparatus by suspending the articles in the directions.

In the above embodiment, the lifting prevention means is provided on the transfer base 2 along the longitudinal direction of the transfer base 2.
It consists of belt holding pieces 9 provided on the upper and lower surfaces of
The point is that if the transport base 2 can prevent the transport belt 3 from being lifted by applying a tensile force due to the weight of the article 4 to the convex body 3a via the hanging member 4a, the belt holding piece 9 May not be formed in a long body along the longitudinal direction of the transport base 2. For example, a belt holding piece 9 having a predetermined interval and a predetermined width is provided on the upper surface 2 a of the transport base 2. May be provided (not shown) facing each other in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction, or may be provided in a staggered manner (not shown). If lifting means for preventing the conveyor belt 3 near the convex body 3a from lifting due to the own weight of the article 4 is provided on the transfer base 2, the specific structure, shape, quantity and the like of the lifting prevention means are provided. Needless to say, the formation location is not limited.

Further, in the above embodiment, the transfer base 2
Is mounted in the article storage housing at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the side face 2b where the article 4 is hung so as to reduce the sliding frictional resistance of the article 4 to the side face 2b of the transport base 2 generated by the hanging tool 4a. However, the frictional resistance reducing means is not necessarily limited only to the configuration in which the transport base 2 is inclined by approximately 45 degrees toward the side surface 2b on which the article 4 is suspended.
The convex body 3a is bent or extended (not shown) in the direction of the side surface 2b of the transport base 2 to completely avoid sliding or contact between the hanging member 4a and the side surface 2b. Alternatively, a configuration in which the protrusions 3a of the transport belt 3 project from the side surfaces 2b of the transport base 2 to completely avoid sliding or contact between the hanging members 4a and the side surfaces 2b, The point is that if the transport base 2 is provided with a frictional resistance reducing means capable of reducing the sliding frictional resistance between the side surface 2b of the transport base 2 generated in the hanging tool 4a of the article 4 and the specific configuration, etc. Is by no means limited.

Thus, not only the transport base, the transport belt, and the convex body constituting the article dispensing apparatus of the present invention, but also the structure of each part and the shape of the articles and the hanging tools suspended on the convex body,
The structure, type and the like are not limited in any way, and all of them can be freely changed in design within the scope of the present invention.

[0041]

As described above, the article dispensing apparatus according to the present invention prevents the lifting of the transport belt by applying the tensile force of the article's own weight to the transport base via the hanging member and the convex of the transport belt. A lifting belt is provided to prevent the lifting of the heavy articles on the convex body of the conveyor belt, as well as the conveyor belt from the side of the conveyor base to facilitate the replenishment of the articles. Even when an article is hung on a convex body, it is possible to prevent the transport belt from easily floating due to the weight of the article and to move the transport belt extremely smoothly, and particularly to transport the transport belt from the side of the transport base. When an article is hung on the convex body of the belt,
Not only can it prevent the lifting device from coming off from the convex body, but also reduce the sliding frictional resistance between the side surface of the transport base and the lifting device that slides on the side surface, so that the transport belt moves back and forth when moving. This has an extraordinary effect that it is possible to provide an extremely excellent article dispensing device that can also solve the inconvenience of entangled articles.
