Further, the upper pedal 9 is provided with a contact convex portion 93 that protrudes toward the inside of the commodity passage R in the vicinity of the bearing portion supported by the upper pedal shaft 105.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the product outlet passage plate 3 that forms the product passage R together with the product carry-out device 1 described above has a passage width that can accommodate a product (not shown) having a diameter larger than that of the product G shown in FIG. The product unloading device 1 is arranged so as to be opposite. In addition, the protrusion 3 a that protrudes to the inside of the product passage R in the product outlet passage plate 3 allows the product G shown in FIG. 1 or a product (not shown) having a smaller diameter than the product G to be placed on the lower pedal of the product delivery device 1. It is for guiding to the posture which it is easy to hold to 7 side.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the merchandise carry-out device of the vending machine will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 8 to 11.

  First, the form shown in FIG. 1 is a sales standby state. The sales standby state is a state where the solenoid 61 is not energized and the link member 6 is urged downward by the link spring 6c. That is, the upper link shaft 101 moves downward along the long groove 41 (51) of the bearing member 4 (5), and the lower link shaft 102 moves downward along the long groove 42 (52) of the bearing member 4 (5). is doing. In this sales standby state, the lower pedal 7 is in the protruding position by the elastic biasing force of the lower pedal spring 103a. Further, the lower pedal 7 receives the load of the product G because the product G in the lowest position of the product passage R is in contact with the holding surface 71. In the sales standby state, the rotation stopper 8 is in the protruding position by the elastic biasing force of the rotation stopper spring 104a. Further, the rotation stopper 8 receives the load of the product G applied to the lower pedal 7 because the support shaft 106 is in contact with the contact surface 73 d of the deformed groove 73 in the lower pedal 7. Furthermore, the rotation stopper 8 is locked to the link member 6 by the lower link shaft 102 being fitted in the lock groove 81, so that its protruding position is maintained. Thereby, the rotation stopper 8 maintains the protruding position of the lower pedal 7 and prevents the lower pedal 7 from moving to the retracted position. In the sales standby state, the upper pedal 9 is in the retracted position by the elastic biasing force of the upper pedal spring 105a. That is, in the sales standby state, all the products are associated with the product G at the lowest position of the product passage R being held on the holding surface 71 of the lower pedal 7 which is maintained in the protruding position by the rotation stopper 8. G is held. Further, in the sales standby state, the upper pedal 9 is in the retracted position, so that the product G is not involved.

  Next, the merchandise carry-out device 1 carries out the merchandise G as shown in FIGS. 8 to 11 in accordance with the sales instruction of the vending machine. As shown in FIG. 8, when the solenoid 61 is energized according to the sales command, the link member 6 is pulled upward against the elastic biasing force of the link spring 6c via the plunger 61a. Then, the lower link shaft 102 is detached from the lock groove 81 of the rotation stopper 8. When the lower link shaft 102 is disengaged from the lock groove 81, the rotation stopper 8 is permitted to move to the retracted position around the rotation stopper shaft 104. Here, the load of the product G is applied to the lower pedal 7 whose protruding position is maintained by the rotation stopper 8. That is, when the rotation stopper 8 is permitted to move to the retracted position, the lower pedal 7 is also permitted to move to the retracted position around the lower pedal shaft 103, and the lower pedal spring 103a is made elastic by the load of the product G. Move toward the retracted position against the forces. As a result, the support shaft 106 of the rotation stopper 8 comes out of contact with the contact surface 73d of the lower pedal 7 and contacts the first guide surface 73a.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 9, the solenoid 61 is continuously energized, and the link member 6 is further pulled upward against the elastic biasing force of the link spring 6c. Then, the lower pedal 7 further moves toward the retracted position against the elastic biasing force of the lower pedal spring 103a due to the load of the commodity G. As the lower pedal 7 moves, the rotation stopper 8 is guided by the support shaft 106 slidingly contacting the second guide surface 73b from the first guide surface 73a of the lower pedal 7, and the elasticity of the rotation stopper spring 104a. It moves toward the retracted position against the biasing force.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the solenoid 61 is continuously energized, and the link member 6 is lifted up most against the elastic biasing force of the link spring 6c. Then, the lower pedal 7 reaches the retracted position due to the load of the commodity G. As the lower pedal 7 moves, the rotation stopper 8 is guided by the support shaft 106 slidingly contacting the second guide surface 73b of the lower pedal 7 and reaching the retracted position. At this time, when the product G in the lowest position can pass between the holding surface 71 of the lower pedal 7 and the product outlet passage plate 3, the product G is separated from the lower side of the product carry-out device 1 and is in the vending machine. It leads to an outlet (not shown).

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, when the link member 6 is pulled upward from the sales standby state, the upper link shaft 101 is lifted upward by the upper engaging portion 6a of the link member 6, and the upper pedal 9 slidably contacts the slidable contact surface 92 a of the recessed groove 92 so as to be separated from the recessed groove 92. Then, the upper pedal 9 moves toward the protruding position against the elastic urging force of the upper pedal spring 105a about the upper pedal shaft 105 by the sliding contact surface 92a being pushed by the upper link shaft 101 moving upward. . While the solenoid 61 is energized, the upper pedal 9 is maintained in the protruding position by the upper link shaft 101 being in contact with the sliding contact surface 92a. The upper pedal 9 that reaches the protruding position comes into contact with the product G having the tip surface 91 in the second position from the bottom, and the second pedal between the tip surface 91 and the product outlet passage plate 3 (protrusion 3a). The product G at the position is held. As a result, only the product G at the lowest position is carried out.

  Finally, when the lowermost product G is carried out, the lower pedal 7 is released from the load of the product G because the product G in the second position from the bottom is held by the upper pedal 9 in the protruding position. The Then, as shown in FIG. 11, the lower pedal 7 moves toward the protruding position by the elastic biasing force of the lower pedal spring 103a, and the rotation stopper 8 moves toward the protruding position by the elastic biasing force of the rotation stopper spring 104a. .

  At this time, the support shaft 106 provided in the rotation stopper 8 is detached from the notch 73 e of the lower pedal 7 to the outside of the irregular groove 73. Then, the lower pedal 7 exceeds the protruding position by the elastic biasing force of the lower pedal spring 103a, and the lower pedal 7 comes into contact with the contact convex portion 93 of the upper pedal 9 with the elastic biasing force. This contact causes an impact of the upper pedal 9 toward the retracted position. Thereafter, the lower pedal 7 moves away from the upper pedal 9 and returns to the protruding position, and the contact surface 73d comes into contact with the support shaft 106 of the rotation stopper 8 that has previously returned to the protruding position (see FIG. 1). Accordingly, the lower pedal 7 is maintained in the protruding position and is prevented from moving to the retracted position by the rotation stopper 8.

  At the same time when the lowest-order product G is unloaded, the unloading of the solenoid 61 is detected by a unloading product unloading detecting unit (not shown). That is, as shown in FIG. 11, the link member 6 moves downward by the elastic biasing force of the link spring 6c. Then, the lower link shaft 102 is pushed downward by the lower engaging portion 6b of the link member 6 and moves downward along the long groove 42 (52) of the bearing member 4 (5). As a result, the lower link shaft 102 is fitted into the lock groove 81 of the rotation stopper 8, and the lower pedal 7 and the rotation stopper 8 return to the protruding position (position in the sales standby state shown in FIG. 1).

  On the other hand, when the energization of the solenoid 61 is cut and the link member 6 moves downward by the elastic biasing force of the link spring 6c, the upper link shaft 101 is moved by the upper engaging portion 6a of the link member 6 as shown in FIG. It is pushed down and moves downward along the long groove 41 (51) of the bearing member 4 (5). As a result, the upper pedal 9 is released from the upper link shaft 101 and returns to the retracted position (indicated by a broken line in FIG. 11: a position in the sales standby state) by the elastic biasing force of the upper pedal spring 105a. And the goods G which were the 2nd position from the bottom currently hold | maintained with the upper pedal 9 are released, and reach the holding surface 71 of the lower pedal 7 which has returned to the protrusion position.

  By the way, when the solenoid 61 is de-energized and the upper pedal 9 is released from the upper link shaft 101 and returns to the retracted position, the lower pedal 7 contacts the abutment convex portion 93 of the upper pedal 9 as described above. The upper pedal 9 comes into contact and gives an impact toward the retracted position. For this reason, for example, when the product G is a deformed product having an uneven portion on its outer shape such as a plastic bottle, the upper pedal 9 at the protruding position may bite into the uneven portion of the product G, but the lower pedal 7 is the upper pedal. The upper pedal 9 returns to the retracted position because the upper pedal 9 is disengaged from the merchandise G by the impact abutting on the gear 9.

  In this way, in the above-described merchandise unloading device of the vending machine, the lower pedal 7 comes into contact with the upper pedal 9 so that the upper pedal 9 bites into the merchandise G. It becomes possible to stabilize the carry-out operation of the product without stopping. For this reason, it is not necessary to provide a cover (not shown) for preventing the upper pedal 9 from biting.
