  In the payout control means 24 configured as described above, the CPU 30 controls each means constituting the payout control means 24 according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 5 to store and manage the number and type of the goods 13 that have been paid out. When a user who purchases the product 13 continuously pays out the same type of product, the user controls the handle 9 for free to provide another product.

  The control operation performed by the payout control unit 24 will be described below with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 5, when the capsule dispensing device 1 is powered on, the CPU 30 determines whether or not to check the inventory related to the product 13 in the capsule storage unit 3 (step S1).

  Here, the CPU 30 starts measuring a predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes) by an internal timer (not shown), and the reading terminal of the information reading device is connected to the external output means 29 within the predetermined time. When it is detected, the received information storage means 27 is referred to (step S13), and then the liquid crystal driving means 28 is operated to display the type and number of products dispensed from the previous capsule 2 replenishment to the present. The information is displayed on the display area of the apparatus 11 (step S14), and information is transferred from the external output means 29 to the information reading apparatus (step S15), thereby checking the inventory of the product 13 in the capsule storage unit 3. .

  Then, the CPU 30 moves the process to step S <b> 2 when a predetermined time elapses after the power is turned on or when the reading terminal of the information reading device is removed from the external output unit 29.

  In step S <b> 2, the CPU 30 determines whether or not the receiving unit 26 has received information about the product 13 included from the IC tag 14 provided in the capsule 2 held in the through hole 19 of the turntable 17. If it is not received, this process is repeated until it is received, and if it is received, the process proceeds to step S3.

  In step S3, the CPU 30 is in a standby state until either the purchase switch 12a or the continuous purchase switch 12b is pressed by the user, and the process proceeds to step S10 when the purchase switch 12a is pressed. If the continuous purchase switch 12b is pressed, the process proceeds to step S4.

  In step S10, the CPU 30 determines whether or not a predetermined number of coins have been inserted. If it is determined that the coin has not been inserted, the process is repeated. If it is determined that the coin has been inserted, the process proceeds to step S11.

  Here, when the CPU 30 receives a signal indicating that the number of coins necessary for purchasing one capsule 2 has been input from the coin insertion detection means 38, the restriction release signal is sent to the operation restriction means 39. Is transmitted to make the handle 9 operable by the user (step S11).

  When the handle 9 is turned by the user, the turntable 17 rotates in conjunction with the turning of the handle 9 and the capsule 2 held in the through hole 19 is paid out.

  On the other hand, when the continuous purchase switch 12b is pressed, the CPU 30 determines whether or not a predetermined number of coins have been inserted. When it is determined that the coin has not been inserted, the CPU 30 repeats this process and determines that the coin has been inserted. If so, the process proceeds to step S5.

  Here, when a signal indicating that the number of coins necessary for purchasing two capsules 2 has been input from the coin insertion detection means 38, the CPU 30 inputs a restriction release signal to the operation restriction means 39. Is transmitted to make the handle 9 operable by the user (step S5).

  When the handle 9 is turned by the user, the turntable 17 rotates in conjunction with the first turn of the handle 9 to pay out the first capsule 2 and the through hole of the turntable 17 The capsule 2 to be dispensed next is held at 19, and the rotary disk 17 rotates in conjunction with the second rotation of the handle 9 to dispense the second capsule 2 (step S 6).

  At this time, when the capsule 2 to be dispensed second is held in the through hole 19 of the turntable 17, the CPU 30 receives information about the product 13 contained by the receiving means 26 and receives the information as received information. The information is stored in the storage means 27.

  Next, after referring to the information stored in the reception information storage unit 27, the CPU 30 moves the process to step S8.

  In step S8, the CPU 30 compares the type of the product 13 in the capsule 2 dispensed first with the type of the product 13 in the capsule 2 dispensed second, based on the referenced information. It is determined whether or not the products 13 in each capsule 2 are of the same type.

  Here, the CPU 30 ends the process when determining that the products 13 in the two capsules 2 are not the same, and moves the process to step S9 when determining that they are the same.

  In step S <b> 9, the CPU 30 transmits a restriction release signal again to the operation restricting means 39 to make the handle 9 operable by the user.

  When the user rotates the handle 9 without inserting a predetermined number of coins, the rotating disk 17 rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the handle 9 and the third capsule is dispensed.

  As described above, the capsule dispensing device 1 according to the present embodiment stores information on the product 13 contained in the capsule 2 every time the capsule 2 is held in the through hole 19 of the turntable 17 by the dispensing control unit 24. In addition to receiving and storing the received information, the display means capable of displaying the stored information and the external output means 29 for outputting the stored information to the outside are provided. From the information or the information read from the external output means 29, the type and number of the products 13 dispensed so far can be easily recognized, and inventory management of the products 13 stored in the capsule storage unit 3 is easy.
