Conventionally, this type of bottled goods vending machine is equipped with a vending machine main body with an open front and a vending machine main body that can be pulled out forward, so that a plurality of bottled products stand up and down in the front-rear direction. An accommodation rack that is formed so that it can be accommodated in a plurality of rows so as to be lined up, and each accommodated bottle product is moved forward by the inclination of the bottom plate, and each bottle product accommodated in the accommodation rack A partition plate that partitions each row and forms a plurality of product passages in the storage rack, and a substantially cylindrical shape that is provided in the storage rack so as to be arranged in front of each product passage and has an opening in a part of the circumferential direction A plurality of rotating buckets formed in a shape, and when the rotating bucket is disposed at a predetermined position in the rotation direction with the opening facing backward, the bottle product in the forefront among the bottle products in the product passage is rotated. When it moves into the bucket and rotates the rotating bucket to a predetermined position in the other direction of rotation with the opening facing forward, the bottle product in the rotating bucket is carried forward and the next among the bottle products in the product passage It is known that the bottle product that has become the forefront is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the rotating bucket from the rear (for example, see Patent Document 1).
JP 2000-293752 A

しかしながら、前記自動販売機では、収容ラックの底板の前端は直線状に形成され、底板の前端側に略円筒形状の回転バケットが設けられているので、商品通路の幅方向中央では底板と回転バケットとの隙間は小さいが、商品通路の幅方向外側では底板と回転バケットとの隙間が大きい。一方、ボトル商品の外径はボトル商品の種類によって異なり、商品通路の幅寸法は大きなボトル商品Aの外径に応じて設定されているので、小さなボトル商品は商品通路内で幅方向に位置がずれる。このため、小さなボトル商品は底板と回転バケットとの隙間に引っ掛かりやすく、ボトル商品を商品通路から回転バケットに円滑に移動させることができないので、ボトル商品の搬出不具合が発生し易いという問題点があった。   However, in the vending machine, the front end of the bottom plate of the storage rack is formed in a straight line, and a substantially cylindrical rotating bucket is provided on the front end side of the bottom plate. The gap between the bottom plate and the rotating bucket is large on the outer side in the width direction of the product passage. On the other hand, the outer diameter of the bottle product differs depending on the type of the bottle product, and the width dimension of the product passage is set according to the outer diameter of the large bottle product A. Therefore, the small bottle product is positioned in the width direction in the product passage. Shift. For this reason, small bottle products are easily caught in the gap between the bottom plate and the rotating bucket, and the bottle products cannot be smoothly moved from the product passage to the rotating bucket. It was.

また、ボトル商品の重量や底面の摩擦係数は商品の種類によって異なるので、摩擦係数の大きいボトル商品を収容ラックに収容する場合は、底板の傾斜角度が小さく設定されているとボトル商品が前方に向かって移動し難く、ボトル商品を商品通路から回転バケットに円滑に移動させることができないので、ボトル商品の搬出不具合が発生し易いという問題点もあった。ここで、底板の傾斜角度が大きく設定されている場合は、重量が大きく摩擦係数の小さいボトル商品が収容ラックに収容されると、ボトル商品の重量によって回転バケットに大きな負荷がかかり、回転バケットの回転が阻害される。   In addition, since the weight of the bottle product and the coefficient of friction of the bottom surface vary depending on the type of product, when bottle products with a large coefficient of friction are stored in the storage rack, the bottle product will move forward if the bottom plate has a small inclination angle. It is difficult to move the bottle product and the bottle product cannot be smoothly moved from the product passage to the rotating bucket, so that there is a problem that the bottle product is likely to be unloaded. Here, when the inclination angle of the bottom plate is set to be large, when a bottle product having a large weight and a small friction coefficient is stored in the storage rack, a large load is applied to the rotating bucket due to the weight of the bottle product, and Rotation is impeded.

また、ボトル商品は収容ラックに起立状態で収容されているので、ボトル商品の底面の摩擦係数が大きい場合はボトル商品の底面が底板に引っ掛かり、ボトル商品が前傾し易い。ボトル商品が前傾した状態で前方に向かって移動すると、ボトル商品が底板から回転バケットに移動する際に底板と回転バケットとの隙間に引っ掛かりやすく、ボトル商品を収容ラックから回転バケットに円滑に移動させることができないので、ボトル商品の搬出不具合が発生し易いという問題点もあった。   In addition, since the bottle product is stored in an upright state in the storage rack, when the friction coefficient of the bottom surface of the bottle product is large, the bottom surface of the bottle product is caught on the bottom plate, and the bottle product tends to tilt forward. When the bottle product moves forward with the bottle tilted forward, the bottle product is easily caught in the gap between the bottom plate and the rotating bucket when moving from the bottom plate to the rotating bucket, and the bottle product moves smoothly from the storage rack to the rotating bucket. Since it cannot be made, there also existed a problem that the malfunction of carrying out bottled goods was easy to generate | occur | produce.

本発明は前記問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、ボトル商品の種類に拘らず、収容ラック内のボトル商品を回転バケット内に円滑に移動させることのできるボトル商品の自動販売機を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a bottle product that can smoothly move the bottle product in the storage rack into the rotating bucket regardless of the type of the bottle product. Is to provide vending machines.

本発明は前記目的を達成するために、前面を開口した自動販売機本体と、自動販売機本体内に配置され、複数のボトル商品を前後方向に並ぶように起立状態で収容可能な商品通路が設けられた収容ラックと、収容ラックに前後方向に延びるように設けられ、商品通路内に収容された各ボトル商品の底面を前方に向かって移動可能に支持するスライダーと、スライダーの前方に配置されるように収容ラックに設けられ、周方向の一部に開口部を有する略筒状の回転バケットとを備え、回転バケットを開口部が後方を向く回転方向所定位置に配置すると、スライダー上の各ボトル商品のうち最前のボトル商品が回転バケット内に移動し、回転バケットを開口部が前方を向く他の回転方向所定位置まで回転させると、回転バケット内のボトル商品が前方に搬出されるボトル商品の自動販売機において、前記スライダーの前端を回転バケットの外周面に沿うように形成している。   In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a vending machine main body having an open front surface, and a merchandise passage disposed in the vending machine main body and capable of accommodating a plurality of bottled products in a standing state so as to be arranged in the front-rear direction. An accommodation rack provided, a slider that is provided in the accommodation rack so as to extend in the front-rear direction, and that supports the bottom surface of each bottle commodity accommodated in the commodity passage so as to be movable forward, and is disposed in front of the slider. And a substantially cylindrical rotating bucket having an opening in a part of the circumferential direction, and when the rotating bucket is disposed at a predetermined position in the rotation direction with the opening facing rearward, When the foremost bottle product among the bottle products moves into the rotating bucket and the rotating bucket is rotated to a predetermined position in the other rotation direction with the opening portion facing forward, the bottle product in the rotating bucket is In the vending machine of the bottle products to be transported towards, and formed along the front end of the slider to the outer peripheral surface of the rotating buckets.

これにより、スライダーの前端が回転バケットの外周面に沿うように形成されていることから、スライダーの前端と回転バケットとの隙間を商品通路の幅方向に亘って極力小さくすることができ、外径の小さいボトル商品を商品通路内に収容する場合でも、ボトル商品がスライダーと回転バケットとの隙間に引っ掛かることがない。即ち、ボトル商品の種類に拘らず、商品通路内のボトル商品が回転バケット内に円滑に移動する。   Thereby, since the front end of the slider is formed along the outer peripheral surface of the rotating bucket, the gap between the front end of the slider and the rotating bucket can be made as small as possible in the width direction of the product path, and the outer diameter Even when a small bottle product is accommodated in the product passage, the bottle product is not caught in the gap between the slider and the rotating bucket. In other words, regardless of the type of bottle product, the bottle product in the product passage moves smoothly into the rotating bucket.

また、本発明は、前面を開口した自動販売機本体と、自動販売機本体内に配置され、複数のボトル商品を前後方向に並ぶように起立状態で収容可能な商品通路が設けられた収容ラックと、収容ラックに前後方向に延びるように設けられるとともに、後端から前端に向かって下方に傾斜し、商品通路内に収容された各ボトル商品の底面を前方に向かって移動可能に支持するスライダーと、スライダーの前方に配置されるように収容ラックに設けられ、周方向の一部に開口部を有する略筒状の回転バケットとを備え、回転バケットを開口部が後方を向く回転方向所定位置に配置すると、スライダー上の各ボトル商品のうち最前のボトル商品が回転バケット内に移動し、回転バケットを開口部が前方を向く他の回転方向所定位置まで回転させると、回転バケット内のボトル商品が前方に搬出されるボトル商品の自動販売機において、前記スライダーの傾斜角度を変更するための角度変更手段を備えている。   The present invention also relates to a vending machine main body having an open front surface, and a storage rack provided in the vending machine main body and provided with a product passage capable of storing a plurality of bottled products in a standing state so as to be arranged in the front-rear direction. And a slider that is provided in the receiving rack so as to extend in the front-rear direction, is inclined downward from the rear end toward the front end, and supports the bottom surface of each bottle product accommodated in the product passage so as to be movable forward. And a substantially cylindrical rotating bucket that is provided in the receiving rack so as to be disposed in front of the slider and has an opening in a part of the circumferential direction, and the rotating bucket has a predetermined position in the rotation direction with the opening facing backward When the first bottle product on each slider on the slider is moved into the rotating bucket, the rotating bucket is rotated to a predetermined position in the other rotation direction with the opening facing forward, In rolling vending machine bottle products bottle product in the bucket is carried out to the front, and includes an angle changing means for changing the inclination angle of the slider.

これにより、スライダーの傾斜角度が角度変更手段によって変更可能であることから、摩擦係数の大きいボトル商品を商品通路内に収容する場合は、スライダーの傾斜角度を大きくすることにより、ボトル商品がスライダー上を前方に向かって円滑に移動し、重量が大きく摩擦係数の小さいボトル商品を商品通路内に収容する場合は、スライダーの傾斜角度を小さくすることにより、ボトル商品の重量によって回転バケットに加わる負荷が軽減される。即ち、ボトル商品の種類に拘らず、商品通路内のボトル商品が回転バケット内に円滑に移動する。   As a result, the tilt angle of the slider can be changed by the angle changing means. Therefore, when a bottle product with a large friction coefficient is accommodated in the product passage, the bottle product is placed on the slider by increasing the tilt angle of the slider. When a bottle product with a large weight and a small friction coefficient is accommodated in the product passage, the load applied to the rotating bucket due to the weight of the bottle product is reduced by reducing the tilt angle of the slider. It is reduced. In other words, regardless of the type of bottle product, the bottle product in the product passage moves smoothly into the rotating bucket.

また、本発明は、前面を開口した自動販売機本体と、自動販売機本体内に配置され、複数のボトル商品を前後方向に並ぶように起立状態で収容可能な商品通路が設けられた収容ラックと、収容ラックに前後方向に延びるように設けられ、商品通路内に収容された各ボトル商品の底面を前方に向かって移動可能に支持するスライダーと、スライダーの前方に配置されるように収容ラックに設けられ、周方向の一部に開口部を有する略筒状の回転バケットとを備え、回転バケットを開口部が後方を向く回転方向所定位置に配置すると、スライダー上の各ボトル商品のうち最前のボトル商品が回転バケット内に移動し、回転バケットを開口部が前方を向く他の回転方向所定位置まで回転させると、回転バケット内のボトル商品が前方に搬出されるとともに、スライダー上の各ボトル商品のうち次に最前となったボトル商品が回転バケットの外周面に後方から当接するボトル商品の自動販売機において、前記回転バケットの外周面を、スライダー上のボトル商品の重心よりも高い位置に当接するように形成している。   The present invention also relates to a vending machine main body having an open front surface, and a storage rack provided in the vending machine main body and provided with a product passage capable of storing a plurality of bottled products in a standing state so as to be arranged in the front-rear direction. A slider that is provided in the receiving rack so as to extend in the front-rear direction, and supports the bottom of each bottled product received in the product passage so as to be movable forward, and the receiving rack so as to be arranged in front of the slider. A substantially cylindrical rotating bucket having an opening in a part of the circumferential direction, and when the rotating bucket is disposed at a predetermined position in the rotation direction with the opening facing backward, the front of each bottle product on the slider When the bottle product in the rotating bucket is moved into the rotating bucket and the rotating bucket is rotated to a predetermined position in the other rotation direction with the opening facing forward, the bottle product in the rotating bucket is carried forward. In addition, in the bottle product vending machine in which the next bottle product on the slider comes next to the outer peripheral surface of the rotating bucket, the outer peripheral surface of the rotating bucket is connected to the bottle on the slider. It forms so that it may contact | abut to a position higher than the gravity center of goods.

これにより、回転バケットの外周面はスライダー上のボトル商品の重心よりも高い位置に当接するように形成されていることから、例えばボトル商品の摩擦係数が大きい場合は、スライダー上を前方に向かって移動する際にボトル商品が前傾し易いが、スライダーの前端においてボトル商品が回転バケットの外周面に当接すると、ボトル商品が後傾する。即ち、ボトル商品が後傾した状態でスライダーから回転バケットに移動するので、ボトル商品がスライダーと回転バケットとの隙間に引っ掛かることがなく、ボトル商品の種類に拘らず、商品通路内のボトル商品が回転バケット内に円滑に移動する。   Thereby, since the outer peripheral surface of the rotating bucket is formed so as to abut on a position higher than the center of gravity of the bottle product on the slider, for example, when the friction coefficient of the bottle product is large, the slider is moved forward. The bottle product tends to tilt forward when moving, but when the bottle product comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the rotating bucket at the front end of the slider, the bottle product tilts backward. That is, since the bottle product moves from the slider to the rotating bucket in a tilted state, the bottle product does not get caught in the gap between the slider and the rotating bucket, and the bottle product in the product passage does not depend on the type of the bottle product. Move smoothly into a rotating bucket.

本発明によれば、ボトル商品の種類に拘らず、商品通路内のボトル商品を回転バケット内に円滑に移動させることができるので、ボトル商品の搬出不具合を生ずることがなく、利用者の利便性を向上する上で極めて有利である。   According to the present invention, the bottle product in the product passage can be smoothly moved into the rotating bucket regardless of the type of the bottle product, so that the bottle product is not brought out, and it is convenient for the user. It is extremely advantageous in improving the ratio.

In addition, one end of the biasing member 50 is pulled out while being attached to the abutting member 40, and one end thereof is fixed to the front end of the slider 20. Further, the pulled biasing member 50 is located in the concave portion 21 b of the slider 20. Thereby, the contact member 40 is urged forward by the urging member 50.

各回転バケット30は透明な合成樹脂材料から成る。また、各回転バケット30は、スライダー20の前端の上面より少し低い位置に設けられた円板状の載置部31と、載置部31の上面から上方に延びるように設けられた略円筒形状の筒状部32とを有する。   Each rotary bucket 30 is made of a transparent synthetic resin material. Each rotary bucket 30 has a disk-shaped mounting portion 31 provided at a position slightly lower than the upper surface of the front end of the slider 20, and a substantially cylindrical shape provided so as to extend upward from the upper surface of the mounting portion 31. And a cylindrical portion 32.

載置部31の下面には円筒状のボス31aが設けられ、ボス31aは収容ラック10の商品受け12cに回転自在に支持されている。   A cylindrical boss 31 a is provided on the lower surface of the mounting portion 31, and the boss 31 a is rotatably supported by the product receiver 12 c of the storage rack 10.

筒状部32の周方向の一部には開口部32aが設けられ、開口部32aは筒状部32の外周面の一部が略半周に亘って開口することにより形成されている。筒状部32の上面には円筒状のボス32bが設けられ、ボス32bは収容ラック10の取付板12bに回転自在に係合している。筒状部32の外周面には周方向に延びる突状部32cが設けられ、突状部32cはスライダー20の前端に載置されたボトル商品Aの重心よりも高い位置に設けられている。また、突状部32cは筒状部32の外周面よりも径方向外側に突出している。   An opening 32a is provided in a part of the cylindrical part 32 in the circumferential direction, and the opening 32a is formed by opening a part of the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical part 32 over a substantially half circumference. A cylindrical boss 32 b is provided on the upper surface of the cylindrical portion 32, and the boss 32 b is rotatably engaged with the mounting plate 12 b of the storage rack 10. A protruding portion 32 c extending in the circumferential direction is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 32, and the protruding portion 32 c is provided at a position higher than the center of gravity of the bottle product A placed on the front end of the slider 20. Further, the protruding portion 32 c protrudes radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 32.

各回転バケット30は前面板12の背面側に配置されている。また、各回転バケット30の間にはそれぞれ第1フレーム33が設けられ、幅方向両側の回転バケット30と側面板11との間にはそれぞれ第2フレーム34が設けられている。これにより、各回転バケット30の間に生ずる隙間が閉鎖されるとともに、幅方向両側の回転バケット30と側面板11との間に生ずる隙間が閉鎖されている。また、ボトル商品Aを搬出しない待機時は、各回転バケット30は開口部32aが後方を向く回転方向所定位置に配置されている。このため、前面板12の背面側は各回転バケット30の筒状部32の外周面、各フレーム33,34、取付板12b及び商品受け12cによって閉鎖され、収容ラック10内のボトル商品Aに対する悪戯等の不正を防止することができる。   Each rotating bucket 30 is disposed on the back side of the front plate 12. A first frame 33 is provided between the rotating buckets 30, and a second frame 34 is provided between the rotating buckets 30 on both sides in the width direction and the side plate 11. Thereby, the gap generated between the rotating buckets 30 is closed, and the gap generated between the rotating buckets 30 on the both sides in the width direction and the side plate 11 is closed. When the bottled product A is not carried out, each rotating bucket 30 is arranged at a predetermined position in the rotation direction with the opening 32a facing rearward. Therefore, the back side of the front plate 12 is closed by the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 32 of each rotary bucket 30, the frames 33 and 34, the mounting plate 12 b and the product receiver 12 c, and mischief against the bottle product A in the accommodation rack 10. Etc. can be prevented.

駆動機構35は周知の電動モータから成り、収容ラック10の取付板12bに固定されている。また、駆動機構35の図示しない駆動シャフトが回転バケット30の上部に回転方向に係合している。   The drive mechanism 35 is composed of a known electric motor and is fixed to the mounting plate 12b of the storage rack 10. A drive shaft (not shown) of the drive mechanism 35 is engaged with the upper portion of the rotary bucket 30 in the rotational direction.

このように構成されたボトル商品の自動販売機において、収容ラック10を自動販売機本体1に装着する場合は、収容ラック10の各レール11cを自動販売機本体1に設けられた図示しないレールに係合させる。これにより、収容ラック10が自動販売機本体1に前方に引き出し可能に装着される。また、自動販売機本体1に装着された収容ラック10の各スライダー20が後端側から前端側に向かって下方に傾斜するように、収容ラック10の各レール11cの傾きが設定されている。   In the vending machine for bottled goods configured as described above, when the storage rack 10 is mounted on the vending machine body 1, the rails 11 c of the storage rack 10 are connected to rails (not shown) provided on the vending machine body 1. Engage. Thereby, the accommodation rack 10 is attached to the vending machine main body 1 so as to be able to be pulled forward. Further, the inclination of each rail 11c of the storage rack 10 is set so that each slider 20 of the storage rack 10 attached to the vending machine body 1 is inclined downward from the rear end side toward the front end side.

自動販売機本体1に装着された収容ラック10に複数のボトル商品Aを装填すると、各ボトル商品Aは各商品通路10a内に前後方向に並ぶように収容される。また、商品通路10a内のボトル商品Aはスライダー20の傾斜によって前方に向かって移動する。   When a plurality of bottle products A are loaded in the storage rack 10 mounted on the vending machine main body 1, the bottle products A are stored in the product passages 10a so as to be arranged in the front-rear direction. Further, the bottle product A in the product passage 10 a moves forward by the inclination of the slider 20.

また、各ボトル商品Aがスライダー20上を前方に向かって移動すると、各ボトル商品Aのうち最前のボトル商品Aが回転バケット30内に配置される(図11参照)。ここで、紙幣投入口3または硬貨投入口4に貨幣が投入され、商品選択ボタン5が操作されると、商品選択ボタン5の操作に応じた回転バケット30が駆動機構35によって回転し、回転バケット30は開口部32aが前方を向く他の回転方向所定位置に配置される。これにより、回転バケット30内のボトル商品Aが前方に搬出される(図12参照)。回転バケット30から搬出されたボトル商品Aは前面扉2を開放することにより取出される。   When each bottle product A moves forward on the slider 20, the foremost bottle product A among the bottle products A is arranged in the rotating bucket 30 (see FIG. 11). Here, when money is inserted into the bill insertion slot 3 or the coin insertion slot 4 and the product selection button 5 is operated, the rotary bucket 30 corresponding to the operation of the product selection button 5 is rotated by the drive mechanism 35, and the rotary bucket 30 is disposed at a predetermined position in the other direction of rotation in which the opening 32a faces forward. Thereby, the bottle goods A in the rotation bucket 30 are carried out ahead (refer FIG. 12). The bottle product A carried out from the rotating bucket 30 is taken out by opening the front door 2.

ここで、外径の小さいボトル商品Aを商品通路10a内に収容すると、ボトル商品Aは商品通路10a内で幅方向に位置がずれるが、スライダー20の前端は回転バケット30の載置部31の外周面に沿うように形成されていることから、スライダー20の前端と回転バケット30の載置部31との隙間を商品通路10aの幅方向に亘って極力小さくすることができ、ボトル商品Aがスライダー20と回転バケット30との隙間に引っ掛かることがない。即ち、ボトル商品Aの種類に拘らず、商品通路10a内のボトル商品Aが回転バケット30内に円滑に移動する。   Here, when the bottle product A having a small outer diameter is accommodated in the product passage 10a, the bottle product A is displaced in the width direction in the product passage 10a, but the front end of the slider 20 is located on the mounting portion 31 of the rotary bucket 30. Since it is formed along the outer peripheral surface, the gap between the front end of the slider 20 and the placement portion 31 of the rotary bucket 30 can be made as small as possible in the width direction of the product passage 10a, and the bottle product A It does not get caught in the gap between the slider 20 and the rotating bucket 30. That is, regardless of the type of the bottle product A, the bottle product A in the product passage 10 a smoothly moves into the rotary bucket 30.

また、ボトル商品Aの重量や底面の摩擦係数はボトル商品Aの種類によって異なり、ボトル商品Aの底面の摩擦係数が大きい場合は、ボトル商品Aが前方に向かって移動し難い。ここで、後端支持部材70を他の第2取付孔11bに取付けることにより、スライダー20の傾斜角度を変更することができるので、例えば摩擦係数が大きいボトル商品Aを商品通路10a内に収容する場合は、スライダー20の傾斜角度を大きくすることにより、ボトル商品Aがスライダー20上を前方に向かって円滑に移動し、重量が大きく摩擦係数の小さいボトル商品Aを商品通路10a内に収容する場合は、スライダー20の傾斜角度を小さくすることにより、ボトル商品Aの重量によって回転バケット30に加わる負荷が軽減される。即ち、スライダー20の途中でボトル商品Aが止まることがないので、ボトル商品Aの種類に拘らず、商品通路10a内のボトル商品Aが回転バケット30内に円滑に移動する。   Further, the weight of the bottle product A and the friction coefficient of the bottom surface vary depending on the type of the bottle product A. When the friction coefficient of the bottom surface of the bottle product A is large, the bottle product A is difficult to move forward. Here, since the inclination angle of the slider 20 can be changed by attaching the rear end support member 70 to the other second attachment hole 11b, for example, the bottle product A having a large friction coefficient is accommodated in the product passage 10a. In this case, by increasing the inclination angle of the slider 20, the bottle product A moves smoothly forward on the slider 20, and the bottle product A having a large weight and a small friction coefficient is accommodated in the product passage 10a. The load applied to the rotating bucket 30 due to the weight of the bottle product A is reduced by reducing the inclination angle of the slider 20. That is, since the bottle product A does not stop in the middle of the slider 20, the bottle product A in the product passage 10 a smoothly moves into the rotary bucket 30 regardless of the type of the bottle product A.

また、スライダー20には当接部材40が前後方向に移動可能に係合し、当接部材40は付勢部材50によって前方に向かって付勢されている。このため、当接部材40はスライダー20上の各ボトル商品Aのうち最後尾のボトル商品Aに後方から当接し、各ボトル商品Aは当接部材40によって前方に向かって付勢される。即ち、商品通路10aから回転バケット30へのボトル商品Aの移動がより円滑に行われる。   Further, a contact member 40 is engaged with the slider 20 so as to be movable in the front-rear direction, and the contact member 40 is urged forward by a urging member 50. For this reason, the contact member 40 comes into contact with the last bottle product A among the bottle products A on the slider 20 from behind, and each bottle product A is urged forward by the contact member 40. That is, the movement of the bottle product A from the product passage 10a to the rotary bucket 30 is performed more smoothly.

また、回転バケット30における筒状部32の外周面には他の部分よりも径方向外側に突出している突状部32cが設けられ、突状部32cはスライダー20の前端に載置されたボトル商品Aの重心よりも高い位置に設けられているので、例えばボトル商品Aの摩擦係数が大きい場合は、スライダー20上を前方に向かって移動する際にボトル商品Aが前傾し易いが、スライダー20の前端においてボトル商品Aが回転バケット30の外周面に当接すると、突状部32cによってボトル商品が後傾する(図12参照)。即ち、ボトル商品Aが後傾した状態でスライダー20から回転バケット30に移動するので(図13参照)、ボトル商品Aがスライダー20と回転バケット30との隙間に引っ掛かることがなく、ボトル商品Aの種類に拘らず、商品通路10a内のボトル商品Aが回転バケット30内に円滑に移動する。   In addition, a protruding portion 32 c is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 32 of the rotating bucket 30 so as to protrude radially outward from the other portions, and the protruding portion 32 c is a bottle placed on the front end of the slider 20. Since the bottle product A is provided at a position higher than the center of gravity of the product A, for example, when the bottle product A has a large friction coefficient, the bottle product A tends to tilt forward when moving forward on the slider 20. When the bottle product A comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the rotary bucket 30 at the front end of the bottle 20, the bottle product is tilted backward by the protruding portion 32c (see FIG. 12). That is, since the bottle product A moves from the slider 20 to the rotary bucket 30 in a state of being tilted backward (see FIG. 13), the bottle product A is not caught in the gap between the slider 20 and the rotary bucket 30, and the bottle product A Regardless of the type, the bottle product A in the product passage 10 a moves smoothly into the rotary bucket 30.

このように、本実施形態によれば、ボトル商品Aの種類に拘らず、商品通路10a内のボトル商品Aを回転バケット30内に円滑に移動させることができるので、ボトル商品Aの搬出不具合を生ずることがなく、利用者の利便性を向上する上で極めて有利である。   As described above, according to the present embodiment, the bottle product A in the product passage 10a can be smoothly moved into the rotary bucket 30 regardless of the type of the bottle product A. This is extremely advantageous in improving user convenience.

また、各スライダー20の前端側は前端支持部材60によって支持されるとともに、各スライダー20の後端側は後端支持部材70によって支持され、前端支持部材60は各側面板11の第1取付孔11aに取付けられるとともに、後端支持部材70は第2取付孔11bに取付けられ、さらに、第2取付孔11bは互いに上下方向に間隔をおいて複数設けられていることから、後端支持部材70を取付ける第2取付孔11bを変えることにより、各スライダー20の傾斜角度を容易に調整することができる。このため、例えばボトル商品Aを収容ラック10に装填する場合に、ボトル商品Aの種類によって各スライダー20の傾斜角度を調整する必要があるが、各スライダー20の傾斜角度を容易に調整することができるので、ボトル商品Aの装填作業を短時間で行うことができる。   Further, the front end side of each slider 20 is supported by a front end support member 60, and the rear end side of each slider 20 is supported by a rear end support member 70, and the front end support member 60 is a first mounting hole of each side plate 11. The rear end support member 70 is attached to the second attachment hole 11b, and a plurality of the second attachment holes 11b are provided at intervals in the vertical direction. By changing the second mounting hole 11b for attaching the slider 20, the inclination angle of each slider 20 can be easily adjusted. For this reason, for example, when the bottle product A is loaded into the storage rack 10, it is necessary to adjust the inclination angle of each slider 20 depending on the type of the bottle product A. However, the inclination angle of each slider 20 can be easily adjusted. Therefore, the loading operation of the bottle product A can be performed in a short time.

また、回転バケット30の筒状部32の外周面に突状部32cを設けるとともに、スライダー32の前端に載置されたボトル商品Aの重心よりも高い位置に突状部32cを配置し、さらに、突状部32cは筒状部32の外周面の他の部分よりも径方向外側に突出しているので、スライダー20の前端においてボトル商品Aが回転バケット30の外周面に当接すると、突状部32cによってボトル商品Aが確実に後傾する。即ち、商品通路10a内のボトル商品Aを回転バケット30内に円滑に移動させる上で極めて有利である。   Moreover, while providing the protrusion part 32c in the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical part 32 of the rotation bucket 30, the protrusion part 32c is arrange | positioned in the position higher than the gravity center of the bottle goods A mounted in the front end of the slider 32, Furthermore, Since the protruding portion 32 c protrudes radially outward from the other portion of the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 32, when the bottle product A comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the rotating bucket 30 at the front end of the slider 20, the protruding shape The bottle product A reliably tilts backward by the portion 32c. That is, it is extremely advantageous for smoothly moving the bottle product A in the product passage 10 a into the rotary bucket 30.

尚、本実施形態では、各側面板11の後端側にそれぞれ複数の第2取付孔11bを設けたものを示したが、各側面板11の後端側にそれぞれ上下方向に延びる長孔11dを設けるとともに、各長孔11d内にそれぞれ後端支持部材70の端部を載置可能な複数の載置部11eを設け、各載置部11eを互いに上下方向に間隔をおいて配置することも可能である。この場合は、後端支持部材70の端部を他の載置部11eに載置することにより、後端支持部材70の高さ方向の位置を変更することができる。   In the present embodiment, a plurality of second mounting holes 11b are provided on the rear end side of each side plate 11, but long holes 11d extending in the vertical direction on the rear end side of each side plate 11 are shown. And a plurality of mounting portions 11e capable of mounting the end portions of the rear end support members 70 in the respective long holes 11d, and the mounting portions 11e are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. Is also possible. In this case, the position of the rear end support member 70 in the height direction can be changed by placing the end portion of the rear end support member 70 on the other placement portion 11e.

尚、本実施形態では、当接部材40がスライダー20に前後方向に移動可能に係合するとともに、当接部材40が付勢部材50によって前方に向かって付勢され、当接部材40によってスライダー20上の各ボトル商品Aが前方に向かって付勢されるようにしたものを示したが、スライダー20は後端から前端に向かって下方に傾斜しており、各ボトル商品Aは自重によってスライダー20上を前方に向かって移動するので、当接部材40及び付勢部材50を設けないことも可能である。   In the present embodiment, the contact member 40 is engaged with the slider 20 so as to be movable in the front-rear direction, and the contact member 40 is urged forward by the urging member 50, and the slider is moved by the contact member 40. Although each bottle product A on 20 is urged forward, the slider 20 is inclined downward from the rear end toward the front end, and each bottle product A is slid by its own weight. 20, the contact member 40 and the biasing member 50 can be omitted.
