  As a result, the tip of the rotating shaft short arc portion 47 comes to a position facing the insertion hole 34a on the surface of the claw portion 32c facing the claw portion 32a. Further, the rotating shaft short arc portion 47 is substantially parallel to the insertion arc portion 35c between the claw portion 32a and the claw portion 32c.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 40, the product holding auxiliary plate 38 is slid in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 40, and the rotation shaft short arc portion 47 is inserted into the insertion hole 34 c of the claw portion 32 c of the next product support member 20. .

  The inner diameter dimension of the insertion hole 34c is such that the rotation shaft short arc portion 47 can be inserted into the insertion hole 34c in a state where the outer peripheral surface of the rotation pin insertion arc portion 43 is substantially in contact with the product holding surface 31 of the next product support member 20. With the rotation shaft short arc portion 47 inserted into the insertion hole 34c, the rotation pin insertion arc portion 43 can be disposed between the predetermined pair of claw portions 32d and claw portions 32f so that the rotation shaft short arc portion 47 can be disposed. It is slightly larger than the outer diameter. The insertion hole 34c is a circular through hole, and the rotating shaft short arc portion 47 has a substantially cylindrical shape.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 41, the rotation pin insertion arc part 43 of the product holding auxiliary plate 38 is connected to a predetermined insertion arc part 35e via the backward direction side of the next product support member 20 on the product holding surface 31. It fits between a predetermined pair of claw portions 32d and claw portions 32f of the next product support member 20 so as to face each other. In addition, the space | interval dimension of the nail | claw part 32d and the nail | claw part 32f is larger than the dimension of the rotation axis direction of the rotation pin insertion circular arc part 43. FIG.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 42, the torsion coil spring 49 is accommodated in the coil spring accommodation hole 45 of the rotation pin insertion arc portion 43 so that the coil center of the torsion coil spring 49 is concentric with the rotation pin insertion arc portion 43. To do.

  When the torsion coil spring 49 is housed in the coil spring housing hole 45, one end of the torsion coil spring 49 comes into contact with the inner surface near the claw portion 32d near the bent portion of the connecting portion 41 of the rotating pin insertion arc portion 43. As possible, one end of the torsion coil spring 49 is inserted into the coil spring housing hole 45 first. On the other hand, the other end of the torsion coil spring 49 is left outside the coil spring housing hole 45.

  Thereafter, the fixing pin 42 having the caulking shape portion 50 at one end is inserted into the insertion hole 34g of the claw portion 32g, the insertion hole 34f of the claw portion 32f, and the rotation pin insertion arc portion 43 from the end portion where the caulking shape portion 50 is not provided. On the other hand, the other end of the next product support member 20 in the direction of the rotation axis in the direction of the arrow in FIG. It is inserted from the insertion hole 34g of the claw portion 32g.

The inner diameter of the rotating pin insertion arc portion 43, the inner diameter of the insertion hole 34g of the claw portion 32g, the insertion hole 34f of the claw portion 32f and the insertion hole 34d of the claw portion 32d, and the inner diameter of the torsion coil spring 49 are substantially the same size. These are larger than the outer diameter of the fixing pin 42, respectively.

  Further, the insertion hole 34d of the claw portion 32d is on the surface of the claw portion 32d facing the rotation pin insertion arc portion 43, but the surface of the claw portion 32d opposite to the surface facing the rotation pin insertion arc portion 43. Has no insertion hole 34d. That is, the insertion hole 34d of the claw portion 32d is a hole with a bottom that does not penetrate the claw portion 32d and opens on the surface of the claw portion 32d facing the rotation pin insertion arc portion 43.

  The length of the fixing pin 42 is shorter than the distance from the claw portion 32g to the bottom of the insertion hole 34d, and longer than the distance from the surface of the claw portion 32f facing the claw portion 32g to the bottom of the insertion hole 34d.

  43, the torsion coil spring 49 in which the fixing pin 42 is accommodated in the insertion hole 34g of the claw 32g on the end side of the next product support member 20, the rotation pin insertion arc portion 43 of the product holding auxiliary plate 38, and the coil spring accommodation hole 45. And the enlarged crimped portion 50 of the fixing pin 42 is shown.

  The fixing pin 42 is rounded into a cylindrical shape, and the caulking-shaped portion 50 has three notches at the end of the fixing pin 42 by making three cuts in the axial direction from the end of the fixing pin 42. Formed.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 44, the fixing pin 42 is inserted into the insertion hole 34 g of the claw part 32 g of the next product support member 20, the insertion hole 34 f of the claw part 32 f, and the rotation pin from the end where there is no crimped part 50. When one of the insertion arc portion 43, the torsion coil spring 49, the other of the rotation pin insertion arc portion 43, and the insertion hole 34d of the claw portion 32d are inserted in this order and brought into contact with the bottom of the insertion hole 34d, the fixing pin 42 is crimped. The entire three claw parts of the part 50 are located between the claw part 32g and the claw part 32f.

  Next, with respect to the caulking-shaped portion 50 of the fixing pin 42, from the claw portion 32g side, a caulking pin with a sharp point that is slightly smaller than the insertion hole 34g of the claw portion 32g but larger than the inner diameter of the fixing pin 42 (see FIG. 45), as shown in FIG. 45, the fixing pins 42 are pushed outward in the radial direction so that the tips of the three claw portions become the outer periphery of the insertion hole 34g of the claw portion 32g.

  As a result, the end portion of the fixing pin 42 on the side of the caulking shape portion 50 opposite to the insertion direction cannot be inserted into the insertion hole 34g of the claw portion 32g, and the fixing pin 42 is inserted between the claw portion 32g and the claw portion 32d. It is held between the bottom of the hole 34d.

  That is, the fixing pin 42 is inserted into the insertion hole 34f of the claw part 32f and the insertion hole 34d of the claw part 32d of the next product support member 20 without falling off in the left direction (claw part 32g side) in FIG. The rotation pin insertion arc portion 43 of the auxiliary plate 38 can be fixed to be freely rotatable (rotatable).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 46, the other end of the torsion coil spring 49 protruding from the coil spring housing hole 45 is hooked into a hole formed in the plate-like protrusion 30 closer to the claw 32f.

  As a result, the product holding auxiliary plate 38 is urged by the torsion coil spring 49 in a direction overlapping the product holding surface 31 of the next product support member 20.

  FIG. 48 shows the operation of the product carry-out device 17.

  The product carry-out device 17 includes a main product support member 21 that holds the beverage product 9 that is the most downstream in the product passage 6 and a next product support member 20 that holds the second beverage product 9 from the bottom in the product passage 6. Is rotatably provided. In addition, at the front end (upper end) of the next product support member 20, the product holding auxiliary plate 38 is rotatable (rotatable) around the fixed pin 42, the rotation pin insertion arc portion 43, and the rotation shaft arc portion 44. Is attached.

  Further, the product holding auxiliary plate 38 is urged by a torsion coil spring 49 in a direction along the product holding surface 31 of the next product support member 20, that is, a rotation direction during the backward operation of the next product support member 20.

  By the way, the product holding surface 31 that holds the beverage product 9 at the tip of the next product support member 20 avoids interference with the other components of the product carry-out device 17 when the product holding surface 31 is retracted from the product passage 6. The end portion has an uneven shape such as uneven comb teeth.

  Further, the dimension of the next product support member 20 in the rotational direction on the product holding surface 31 cannot be sufficiently increased so that the next product support member 20 in the retracted state does not disturb the payout of the beverage product 9.

  Therefore, when the next product support member 20 protrudes into the product passage 6, the beverage product 9 is in the concave or convex shape of the product holding surface 31 of the next product support member 20 on the backward direction side or the gap formed on the next product support member 20 backward direction side. It is necessary to prevent the next commodity support member 20 from being retracted due to being caught.

  Therefore, when the next product support member 20 protrudes, the front end portion (upper end portion) of the next product support member 20 is added so that the surface holding the second beverage product 9 from the bottom is added to the backward direction side of the next product support member 20. The product holding auxiliary plate 38 is rotatably attached so that the product holding auxiliary plate 38 does not hinder the backward movement of the next product support member 20.

  The product holding auxiliary plate 38 is housed on the product passage side frame 17a of the product carry-out device 17 so that the product holding portion 40 is substantially parallel to the passage restriction plate 18 in the standby state.

  When a current flows through the solenoid 25 due to the sales signal, the plunger 28 is pulled upward, and accordingly, the interlocking member 26 engaged with the plunger 28 is pulled up, and the slide pin 27 inserted into the interlocking member 26 is pulled up. .

  As a result, the slide pin 27 comes into contact with the plate-like protrusion 30 provided on the next product support member 20, and the force received by the plate-like protrusion 30 from the slide pin 27 brings the next product support member 20 into the product passage 6. Rotate to project.

  At this time, when the storage guide portion formed at the end of the commodity holding auxiliary plate 38 far from the rotation axis is separated from the frame 17a of the commodity carrying-out device 17, the rotating pin insertion arc portion 43 of the commodity holding auxiliary plate 38 is fixed. The torsion coil spring 49 pivotally supported by the pin 42 causes the product holding auxiliary plate 38 to overlap the product holding surface 31 at the tip (upper end) of the next product support member 20.

  By this operation, the second beverage product 9 stacked on the main product support member 21 from the bottom is the product holding surface 31 provided at the tip (upper end) of the next product support member 20, and the product holding surface 31. Are temporarily held by the product holding auxiliary plate 38 that overlaps with the product and the passage regulating plate 18 disposed to face the product carry-out device 17.

On the other hand, the main product support member 21 retracts toward the frame 17a by the force received from the beverage product 9 in conjunction with the upward movement of the interlock member 26 (the product passage 6 in the main product support member 21). It becomes a state which cannot prevent that the main product support member 21 rotates so that the surface which opposes the drink goods 9 in the inside may become substantially parallel with respect to the flame | frame 17a (or channel | path control board 18).

  As a result, the main product support member 21 rotates downward, the lowermost beverage product 9 stacked on the main product support member 21 is dispensed downward, and passes through a carry-out inclined plate provided below the product storage shelf. The beverage product 9 passes to the purchaser.

  When the lowermost beverage product 9 stacked on the main product support member 21 is dispensed downward, it returns to a standby state, that is, a state before sales.

  Thereafter, when the energization of the solenoid 25 is finished, the magnetic force attracting the plunger 28 is lost, and the plunger 28 moves downward by the force of gravity and the force of the coil spring attached to the interlocking member 26 to shrink, The interlocking member 26 engaged with the hole of the plunger 28 and the slide pin 27 inserted into the hole of the flange of the interlocking member 26 also moved downward and contacted with the slide pin 27 so as to rotate into the product passage 6. The next product support member 20 returns to its original position.

  On the other hand, in conjunction with the downward movement of the interlocking member 26, the main product support member 21 retracts toward the frame 17a by the force received from the beverage product 9 by the reverse prevention member 24 (the product passage 6 in the main product support member 21). It will return to the state which can prevent the main product support member 21 turning so that the surface which opposes the drink goods 9 in the inside may become substantially parallel with respect to the flame | frame 17a (or channel | path control board 18).

  As a result, the beverage product 9 held on the next product support member 20 falls on the main product support member 21 and enters a sales standby state.

  When the next product support member 20 returns to its original position, the product holding auxiliary plate 38 attached to the front end portion (upper end portion) of the next product support member 20 comes into contact with the frame 17a and twists. The product holding auxiliary plate 38 is stored on the product passage side frame 17a of the product carry-out device 17 so that the product holding auxiliary plate 38 is rotated in a direction opposite to the biasing direction of the coil spring 49 and the product holding portion 40 is substantially parallel to the passage regulating plate 18. Will come to be.

  As described above, the product carry-out device 17 includes the main product support member 21 that performs the protrusion operation and the retreat operation with respect to the product passage 6 so that the beverage product 9 on the most downstream side of the product passage 6 can be held at the time of protrusion. The upper end of the second beverage product 9 from the downstream side when the most downstream beverage product 9 is dispensed by the backward movement of the main product support member 21 is provided so as to be rotatable on the upstream side of the product passage 6 relative to the product support member 21. A next product support member 20 that performs a protruding operation and a retreat operation with respect to the product passage 6 so as to be held by a product holding surface 31 formed on the upper surface of the section, and a rotation shaft (pin 23c) of the next product support member 20 The next stage is pivotable about parallel pivot shafts (rotating shaft arcuate part 44, rotating pin insertion arcuate part 43, fixed pin 42) and overlaps the product holding surface 31 when the next product support member 20 protrudes. Attach to product support member 20 And a product retention auxiliary plate 38.

Then, the product holding auxiliary plate 38 has a product holding surface 31 such that when the next product support member 20 protrudes, the surface that holds the second beverage product 9 from the downstream side is added to the backward direction side of the next product support member 20. The product holding part 40 that overlaps with the product holding auxiliary plate 38 is attached to the retreat direction side surface of the next product support member 20 below the upper end portion that constitutes the product holding surface 31 so as to be the rotation axis of the product holding auxiliary plate 38. The product holding portion 40 and the substantially arc portion 39 (rotation shaft arc portion 44, rotation pin insertion arc portion) via the arc portion 39 (rotation shaft arc portion 44, rotation pin insertion arc portion 43) and the backward direction side of the upper end portion. 43).

  In the above configuration, the connecting portion 41 that connects the product holding portion 40 of the product holding auxiliary plate 38 and the substantially arc portion 39 (rotating shaft arc portion 44, rotating pin insertion arc portion 43) is the product holding surface of the next product support member 20. The product holding auxiliary plate 38 is placed on the product holding auxiliary plate 38 on the product holding auxiliary plate 38 and the product holding surface 31 of the next product supporting member 20 on the next product supporting member. It is not necessary to form the unevenness for attaching to 20 so that rotation is possible. In addition, the product holding surface 31 of the next product support member 20 and the product holding part 40 of the product holding auxiliary plate 38 may be overlapped with each other so that stress is not partially concentrated.

  Therefore, it is possible to improve the mechanical strength of the upper end portion constituting the product holding surface 31 of the next product support member 20 and the product holding auxiliary plate 38 to make it difficult to deform, and to form the product holding surface 31 of the next product support member 20. Since the possibility that the beverage product 9 is caught on the upper end portion and the product holding auxiliary plate 38 can be greatly reduced, the next product support member 20 and the product holding auxiliary plate 38 can be easily configured with a simple configuration without using expensive materials. Reliability can be improved.

  Further, the product holding auxiliary plate 38 is closer to the substantially arc portion 39 (rotating shaft arc portion 44, rotating pin insertion arc portion 43) in the product holding portion 40 from the position where the product holding portion 40 overlaps the product holding surface 31. Is attached to the next product support member 20 so as to be rotatable to a position where the end of the product contacts the product holding surface 31.

  With the above-described configuration, the rotation range of the product holding auxiliary plate 38 when the next product support member 20 moves backward from the product passage 6 is set so that the product holding unit 40 substantially overlaps the product holding surface 31 from the position where the product holding unit 40 overlaps. By restricting the end closer to the arc portion 39 (rotating shaft arc portion 44, rotation pin insertion arc portion 43) to the position where it comes into contact with the product holding surface 31, the rotation range of the product holding auxiliary plate 38 is limited. The rotation range is limited without adding additional parts, the reliability of the rotation operation of the product holding auxiliary plate 38 is improved, and the product holding auxiliary plate 38 rotates excessively and becomes an obstacle to the product passage 6. You can prevent it from happening.

  Further, when the product holding unit 40 is overlaid on the product holding surface 31, the next product is located at the end of the product holding unit 40 closer to the substantially arcuate part 39 (rotating shaft arcuate part 44, rotating pin insertion arcuate part 43). The product holding portion 40 and the connecting portion 41 are connected to each other at the portion of the support member 20 on the backward direction side.

  With the above configuration, the next product is located at a position where the product holding portion 40 and the connecting portion 41 are connected to the product holding portion 40 closer to the substantially arcuate portion 39 (rotating shaft arc portion 44, rotating pin insertion arc portion 43). The farther the support member 20 moves backward, the more the upper end portion of the next product support member 20 becomes less obstructed in the turning operation of the product support auxiliary plate 38 in the rotation range of the product support auxiliary plate 38, and the upper end portion becomes smaller. The restriction of the shape of the upper end portion so as not to obstruct the rotation operation of the product holding auxiliary plate 38 is reduced, and the product holding surface 31 in the rotation direction of the next product support member 20 in the portion close to the connecting portion 41. Therefore, the possibility that the product is caught on the product holding surface 31 can be further reduced.

  Further, the end of the product holding portion 40 that is closer to the substantially arc portion 39 (rotating shaft arc portion 44, rotating pin insertion arc portion 43) is the rotating shaft (rotating shaft arc portion 44, rotating pin) of the product holding auxiliary plate 38. Since the tip is aligned with the insertion arc portion 43 and the fixed pin 42), the end of the product holding portion 40 closer to the substantially arc portion 39 (rotation shaft arc portion 44, rotation pin insertion arc portion 43). It is possible to reduce the possibility that the beverage product 9 is caught in the portion, and improve the mechanical strength of the product holding auxiliary plate 38 to make it difficult to deform.

  Further, the end portion of the product holding portion 40 that is close to the substantially arc portion 39 (rotating shaft arc portion 44, rotating pin insertion arc portion 43) is folded back to the surface side facing the product holding surface 31, and is doubled by this folding. Since this portion overlaps the product holding surface 31, it is possible to improve the mechanical strength of the product holding auxiliary plate 38 and make it difficult to deform while reducing the weight (reducing materials) of the product holding auxiliary plate 38.

  Further, the product holding auxiliary plate 38 bends a metal plate having a predetermined shape to integrally form the product holding unit 40, a substantially arc portion 39 (rotating shaft arc portion 44, rotating pin insertion arc portion 43), and the connecting portion 41. be able to. In addition, the metal plate can be folded back to form a suitable shape for each of the surface holding the beverage product 9 in the product holding unit 40 and the surface overlapping the product holding surface 31 of the next product support member 20.

  In addition, the rotation pin insertion arc portion 43 is attached to a surface on the backward direction side of the next product support member 20 below the upper end portion constituting the product holding surface 31 so as to serve as a rotation axis of the product holding auxiliary plate 38. It has the fixed pin 42 which contact | abuts to the internal peripheral surface of this.

  With the above configuration, the product holding auxiliary plate 38 and the next product support member 20 can be connected via the fixing pin 42, and the fixing pin 42 is used as the rotation shaft of the product holding auxiliary plate 38. The rotation operation can be performed smoothly, and the force required for the rotation of the product holding auxiliary plate 38 can be reduced as compared with the case where the fixing pin 42 is not used.

  A torsion coil spring 49 is attached to the fixed pin 42 to urge the product holding auxiliary plate 38 so that the product holding unit 40 rotates in a direction overlapping the product holding surface 31.

  With the above configuration, when the product holding auxiliary plate 38 and the next product support member 20 are connected by the fixing pin 42 and the fixing pin 42 is used as the rotation shaft of the product holding auxiliary plate 38, the torsion coil spring 49 is fixed to the fixing pin 42. By attaching to the product holding auxiliary plate 38, it is possible to easily bias the product holding auxiliary plate 38 so that the product holding unit 40 rotates in a direction overlapping the product holding surface 31.

  The rotation pin insertion arc portion 43 of the substantially arc portion 39 (rotation shaft arc portion 44, rotation pin insertion arc portion 43) is formed with a coil spring accommodation hole 45 for accommodating the torsion coil spring 49 and the next product support member 20. Are sandwiched by claw portions 32d and claw portions 32f formed on the surface in the retreat direction side from both sides in a direction parallel to the rotation axis of the product holding auxiliary plate 38, thereby being parallel to the rotation axis of the product holding auxiliary plate 38. Directional movement is limited.

  With the above configuration, the torsion coil spring 49 is used to urge the product holding auxiliary plate 38 so that the product holding unit 40 rotates in a direction overlapping the product holding surface 31, while being parallel to the rotation axis of the product holding auxiliary plate 38. Misalignment (shaking) can be reduced.

  Of the substantially arcuate part 39 (rotating shaft arcuate part 44, rotating pin insertion arcuate part 43), the rotating shaft arcuate part 44 has a part of the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft long arcuate part 46 in the backward direction of the next product support member 20. Of the claw portion 32c formed on the surface of the next product support member 20 on the backward direction side, which is held in the insertion hole 34a of the claw portion 32a formed on the side surface, and a part of the outer peripheral surface of the rotation shaft short arc portion 47 is It is held in the insertion hole 34c.

With the above configuration, first, the rotation shaft arc portion 44 whose outer peripheral surface is held by the claw portions 32a and 32c is held by the claw portions 32a and 32c, and the rotation pin in which the coil spring accommodating hole 45 is formed. The insertion arc portion 43 has predetermined claws 32d and 32f positioned on both sides thereof, and then a torsion coil spring 49 is disposed in the coil spring accommodation hole 45. Finally, the rotation pin insertion arc portion 43 and the coil spring accommodation hole are arranged. The product holding auxiliary plate 38 and the next product support member 20 can be connected by the procedure of inserting the fixing pin 42 into the inner periphery of the torsion coil spring 49 arranged at 45.

  Further, the rotation shaft arcuate portion 44 held by the claw portions 32a and 32c and the rotation pin insertion arcuate portion 43 in which the coil spring housing hole 45 is formed are half the size of the product holding auxiliary plate 38 in the rotation axis direction. Separated by more than the dimensions.

  With the above configuration, the work of placing the product holding auxiliary plate 38 at a predetermined mounting position of the next product support member 20 is performed. First, the rotating shaft arcuate portion 44 is inserted into the insertion holes 34a and 34c formed in the claw portions 32a and 32c. Then, the procedure is such that the predetermined claw portions 32d and 32f are positioned on both sides of the rotation pin insertion arc portion 43 while adjusting the insertion amount of the rotation shaft arc portion 44 into the insertion holes 34a and 34c. Can be done.

  In addition, since a plurality of substantially arc portions 39 are provided at predetermined intervals, the product holding auxiliary plate 38 is attached to the next product support member 20 so as to be rotatable as compared with a case where only one approximately arc portion 39 is provided. , The adverse effect due to the structure for pivotally attaching the product holding auxiliary plate 38 to the next product support member 20 can be reduced, and the product holding on the product holding surface 31 of the next product support member 20 can be reduced. The variation in the rotation direction of the product holding auxiliary plate 38 at the position of the product holding portion 40 of the auxiliary plate 38 can be suppressed small.

  Although the rotation shaft short arc portion 47 can be omitted, a predetermined effect can be obtained. However, the rotation shaft short arc portion 47 makes it difficult for the rotation shaft arc portion 44 to be detached from the next product support member 20. During the operation of attaching the pin insertion arc portion 43 to the next product support member 20, the product holding auxiliary plate 38 is difficult to drop off from the next product support member 20, and the positional displacement of the product holding auxiliary plate 38 with respect to the next product support member 20 is reduced. can do.

  However, the product carrying-out device 17 having the above-described conventional structure requires a predetermined biasing force in a direction in which the product holding auxiliary plate 38 is overlapped with the product holding surface 31 of the next product supporting member 20 in order to operate the product holding auxiliary plate 38 normally. The torsion coil spring 49 urged in the above is disposed in the coil spring housing hole 45 of the product holding auxiliary plate 38, and the inner periphery of the torsion coil spring 49 disposed in the rotating pin insertion arc portion 43 and the coil spring housing hole 45 of the product holding auxiliary plate 38. It is necessary to insert the fixing pin 42 to connect the product holding auxiliary plate 38 and the next product support member 20, and further cost reduction and productivity improvement have been demanded.

  The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, and normally operates the product holding auxiliary plate without providing the next product supporting member with biasing means for biasing the product holding auxiliary plate in a direction overlapping the product holding surface. It is an object of the present invention to provide a highly reliable merchandise carry-out device for a vending machine.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the product carry-out device of the vending machine according to the present invention is attached to a frame facing the product passage, and holds the product on the most downstream side of the product passage when protruding. A main product support member that performs a protrusion operation and a retreat operation, and is provided at the opening of the frame so as to be rotatable upstream of the product passage from the main product support member. A next product support member that performs a projecting operation and a retreating operation with respect to the product passage so that the second product from the downstream side can be held by the product holding surface formed on the upper surface of the upper end when the downstream product is paid out; The next product support member is attached to the next product support member so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis parallel to the rotation axis of the next product support member, and the product holding surface and the flange are projected when the next product support member protrudes into the product passage. A product holding device for a vending machine provided with a product holding auxiliary plate that overlaps the product holding surface so that the product does not enter a gap between the product and the product holding auxiliary plate, A storage guide portion that receives a stress that contacts the frame when the product support member moves backward from the product passage and rotates the product holding auxiliary plate in a direction that does not obstruct the product passage from the frame; and a through hole in the frame When the next product support member is inserted into the frame opposite to the product passage in the frame and protrudes into the product passage, the product holding auxiliary plate is turned up from the product holding surface by contact with the upper edge of the through hole. The product holding auxiliary plate is formed on the free end side of the product holding auxiliary plate so as to be restricted in rotation, and has a curl suppressing portion.

  In the above configuration, when the next product support member retracts from the product passage, after the storage guide portion formed on the free end side of the product holding auxiliary plate comes into contact with the frame, the stress that the storage guide portion receives from the frame, The product holding auxiliary plate rotates in a direction away from the product holding surface of the next product support member, and when the backward operation of the next product support member is finished, the product holding auxiliary plate follows the surface facing the passage restriction plate in the frame of the product carry-out device. It becomes like this.

  Then, when the next product support member protrudes into the product passage, the product holding surface of the next product support member is formed by contacting the upper edge of the through hole with the curl suppression portion formed on the free end side of the product holding auxiliary plate. The range of rotation in the direction in which the product holding auxiliary plate turns is limited.

  Therefore, even if there is no urging means for urging the product holding auxiliary plate in a direction overlapping the product holding surface, the product holding auxiliary plate can be normally rotated, and cost reduction and productivity improvement can be realized.

  The first invention is a main product support member which is attached to a frame facing the product passage and performs a projecting operation and a retreating operation with respect to the product passage so that the product on the most downstream side of the product passage can be held when projecting. It is provided at the opening of the frame so as to be rotatable upstream of the main product support member relative to the main product support member. When the main product support member moves backward, the second downstream product is discharged from the downstream side. A next product support member that performs a projecting operation and a backward operation with respect to the product passage so that the product can be held by a product holding surface formed on the upper surface of the upper end, and a rotation parallel to the rotation axis of the next product support member. The product is attached to the next product support member so as to be rotatable about a moving shaft so that the product does not enter the gap between the product holding surface and the frame when the next product support member protrudes into the product passage. A product carrying device of a vending machine provided with a product holding auxiliary plate overlying the product holding surface, wherein the product holding auxiliary plate is attached to the frame when the next product support member moves backward from the product passage. A storage guide portion that receives a stress from which the product holding auxiliary plate rotates in a direction that does not obstruct the product passage from the frame, and the next product support that is inserted from the through hole of the frame to the anti-product passage side of the frame When the member protrudes into the product passage, the product holding auxiliary plate is restricted so that rotation of the product holding auxiliary plate in a direction to be turned up from the product holding surface is restricted by contact with the upper edge of the through hole. It is characterized by having a stapling suppression portion formed on the free end side.

  In the above configuration, when the next product support member retracts from the product passage, after the storage guide portion formed on the free end side of the product holding auxiliary plate comes into contact with the frame, the stress that the storage guide portion receives from the frame, The product holding auxiliary plate rotates in a direction away from the product holding surface of the next product support member, and when the backward operation of the next product support member is finished, the product holding auxiliary plate follows the surface facing the passage restriction plate in the frame of the product carry-out device. It becomes like this.

  Then, when the next product support member protrudes into the product passage, the product holding surface of the next product support member is formed by contacting the upper edge of the through hole with the curl suppression portion formed on the free end side of the product holding auxiliary plate. The range of rotation in the direction in which the product holding auxiliary plate turns is limited.

  Therefore, even if there is no urging means for urging the product holding auxiliary plate in a direction overlapping the product holding surface, the product holding auxiliary plate can be normally rotated, and cost reduction and productivity improvement can be realized.

  In addition, by configuring the turn-up suppressing part to contact the upper edge of the through hole in a substantially line contact, the possibility of deformation or breakage of the mutual contact portion can be reduced, so turn-up suppressing by the turn-up suppressing part etc. The reliability of the function can be improved.

  According to a second aspect of the invention, the commodity holding auxiliary plate according to the first aspect is made of a metal plate, and edges of the storage guide portion and the turn-up suppressing portion are folded back so as to be in close contact with each other. .

  With the above configuration, it is possible to reduce the weight of the product holding auxiliary plate by reducing the thickness of the metal plate that constitutes the product holding auxiliary plate while ensuring the strength of the storage guide portion and the turn-up suppressing portion.

  By reducing the weight of the product holding auxiliary plate, the suction force of the solenoid that causes the next product support member to protrude into the product passage and the biasing force of the biasing means that causes the next product support member to retreat from the product passage are made smaller than before. be able to.

According to a third invention, in the first or second invention, when the next product support member protrudes into the product passage beyond a predetermined rotation range, the frame on the side of the anti-product passage around the through hole in the frame. An excessive protrusion preventing portion that is in contact with a surface and prevents the next commodity support member from excessively projecting into the commodity passage is formed on the free end side of the turn-up suppressing section.

  Generally, when a product enters the gap between the next product support member and the frame that protrudes excessively in the product passage, it is difficult to move the next product support member back from the product passage, and the product of the product delivery device Since there is a possibility that the reliability of unloading may be reduced, it is an important issue to prevent the next product support member from excessively protruding into the product passage.

  In the above configuration, when the next product support member protrudes into the product passage due to the suction force of the solenoid, particularly when there is no product in the product passage that stops the momentum that the next product support member rotates in the direction protruding into the product passage. The next product support member can protrude into the product passage until the excessive protrusion prevention portion formed on the free end side of the turn-up suppressing portion comes into contact with the surface on the side opposite to the product passage around the through hole in the frame. is there.

  However, when the excessive protrusion prevention part formed on the free end side of the curl prevention part contacts the surface on the side opposite to the product passage around the through hole in the frame, the excessive protrusion prevention part is caught on the frame, thereby The plate can no longer move to the product passage side.

  As a result, the next product support member rotates further in the direction in which the next product support member protrudes into the product passage from the rotational position of the next product support member when the excessive protrusion prevention portion abuts the surface on the side opposite to the product passage around the through hole in the frame. The product holding auxiliary plate that is pivotally connected to the next product support member is restrained from moving.

  Furthermore, since the presence of the excessive protrusion preventing portion and the turn-up suppressing portion reduces the gap formed between the next product support member and the frame, the product enters the gap between the next product support member and the frame, and the next product support member The phenomenon that the backward movement operation from the merchandise passage becomes difficult to occur, and the merchandise carry-out device improves the reliability of the merchandise carry-out.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the excessive protrusion preventing portion according to the third aspect of the present invention is formed so as to be bent in a turning direction to turn up from the product holding surface of the product holding auxiliary plate, and above the through hole in the frame. A feature is that the surface on the side of the non-commodity passage is substantially surface-contactable.

  With the above configuration, the product holding auxiliary plate in which the excessive protrusion preventing portion is bent is caused to function as a leaf spring, and the excessive protrusion preventing portion is brought into contact with the surface on the side opposite to the commodity passage around the through hole in a substantially surface contact. It is possible to reduce the impact when the excessive protrusion prevention part abuts against the surface on the side of the anti-commodity passage around the through hole, and it is possible to suppress the concentration of the load due to the impact when contacting the local part. The possibility of deformation or breakage of the product holding auxiliary plate including the protrusion preventing portion can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to improve the reliability of the excessive protrusion preventing function by the excessive protrusion preventing portion or the like.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the commodity holding auxiliary plate according to the fourth aspect is made of a metal plate, and edges of the storage guide portion, the turn-up suppressing portion, and the excessive protrusion preventing portion are folded back so as to be in close contact with each other. In addition, a reinforcing rib is formed at a bent portion between the turn-up suppressing portion and the excessive protrusion preventing portion.

  With the above configuration, the product holding auxiliary plate can be reduced in weight by reducing the thickness of the metal plate that constitutes the product holding auxiliary plate while ensuring the strength of each of the storage guide portion, the turnover suppressing portion, and the excessive protrusion preventing portion. It becomes possible.

  By reducing the weight of the product holding auxiliary plate, the suction force of the solenoid that causes the next product support member to protrude into the product passage and the biasing force of the biasing means that causes the next product support member to retreat from the product passage are made smaller than before. be able to.

  In a sixth aspect of the present invention, the next commodity support member according to any one of the third to fifth aspects is configured such that the next commodity support member is located at a position offset toward one direction of the rotational axis direction of the next commodity support member. The turn-up suppressing portion and the excessive protrusion preventing portion receive the force that causes the product passage to protrude, and the next product support member protrudes into the product passage out of both ends in the rotation axis direction of the product holding auxiliary plate. It is characterized in that it is formed only at the end on the side receiving a relatively large force.

  In the above configuration, the turn-up suppressing portion and the excessive protrusion preventing portion are formed only at the end on the side that receives the relatively large force that the next product support member protrudes into the product passage, of both ends in the rotation axis direction of the product holding auxiliary plate. As a result, the mass on the free end side of the product holding auxiliary plate becomes lighter than when the turn-up suppressing portion and the excessive protrusion preventing portion are formed at both ends in the rotational axis direction of the product holding auxiliary plate, and the next product support member The moment of inertia when the product holding auxiliary plate rotates with respect to the next product support member with the portion pivotably attached to the next product support member as the rotation axis is reduced by the protrusion and retraction operation of the next product. The effect of suppressing turning and preventing excessive protrusion is obtained by the turning-up suppressing portion and the excessive protrusion preventing portion formed only at the end on the side that receives a relatively large force that the product supporting member protrudes into the product passage.

  Also, by reducing the weight of the product holding auxiliary plate, the suction force of the solenoid that causes the next product support member to protrude into the product passage and the biasing force of the biasing means that causes the next product support member to retract from the product passage are made smaller than before. be able to.

  In addition, if the curl prevention part and the excessive protrusion prevention part are formed on both ends of the product holding auxiliary plate in the rotational axis direction, the next product support member will be affected by the “bending” or “twist” of the next product support member. It has been confirmed that the squeeze suppressing portion and the excessive protrusion preventing portion receive a relatively large force (impact) at the end opposite to the side that receives a relatively large force that the member projects into the product passage.

  Therefore, if the turn-up suppressing part and the excessive protrusion preventing part are formed only at one end of both ends in the rotation axis direction of the product holding auxiliary plate, the force that the next product support member protrudes into the product passage is relatively large. Forming only at the end of the receiving side is less than the side that receives the relatively large force that the next product support member protrudes into the product passage. The durability of the part is excellent and preferable.

  In a seventh aspect of the present invention, in any one of the fourth to sixth aspects of the invention, the resin cord for protecting the wiring cord adjacent to the excessive protrusion preventing portion and the turn-up suppressing portion from the excessive protrusion preventing portion and the turn-up suppressing portion. A code guide is attached to the frame.

  With the above configuration, either one or both of the excessive protrusion prevention part and the turn-up suppressing part contact the wiring cord to break (cut) the cord, or either the excessive protrusion prevention part and the turn-up suppressing part or It is possible to reduce the possibility that either or both of the next product support member and the product holding auxiliary plate will not operate normally due to being caught by the wiring cord.

  According to an eighth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the seventh aspects, the portion of the frame to which the code guide is to be attached is cut and raised substantially horizontally toward the anti-product passage side with the upper side serving as a fulcrum for bending. A flange that protrudes substantially horizontally on the side, and a substantially square hole is formed on the lower side of the flange. The cord guide includes a protective wall that protects the flange, an insertion hole that engages with the flange, A hole closing portion that closes the square hole; a cord pressing portion that surrounds and holds the wiring cord at a position close to the frame side above the flange; and the wiring cord at a position away from the protruding direction side of the flange Are integrally formed with a code guide portion that guides so as not to be displaced vertically.

  With the above configuration, simply by inserting the flange of the frame into the insertion hole of the code guide, the installation of the code guide to the frame can be performed easily. A portion that can contact the excessive protrusion prevention part when the next product support member is substantially retracted from the product passage can be closed by the protective wall of the resin code guide and the hole closing part. The over-extension prevention part can be moved smoothly, and the wiring cord of the solenoid and the wiring code of the micro switch for product detection are held by the cord pressing part at a position protected from the over-extension prevention part by the protective wall. The solenoid wiring cord can be guided by the cord guide portion of the cord guide at a position away from the flange in the protruding direction.

The end portion has an uneven shape such as uneven comb teeth.

  Further, the dimension of the next product support member 20 in the rotational direction on the product holding surface 31 cannot be sufficiently increased so that the next product support member 20 in the retracted state does not disturb the payout of the beverage product 9.

  Therefore, when the next product support member 20 protrudes into the product passage 6, the beverage product 9 is in the concave or convex shape of the product holding surface 31 of the next product support member 20 on the backward direction side or the gap formed on the next product support member 20 backward direction side. It is necessary to prevent the next commodity support member 20 from being retracted due to being caught.

  Therefore, when the next product support member 20 protrudes, the front end portion (upper end portion) of the next product support member 20 is added so that the surface holding the second beverage product 9 from the bottom is added to the backward direction side of the next product support member 20. The product holding auxiliary plate 38 is rotatably attached so that the product holding auxiliary plate 38 does not hinder the backward movement of the next product support member 20.

  In the sales standby state, the product holding auxiliary plate 38 is stored on the frame 17a on the product passage side of the product carry-out device 17 so that the product holding portion 40 is substantially parallel to the passage restriction plate 18, as shown in FIG. ing.

  When a current flows through the solenoid 25 due to the sales signal, the plunger 28 is pulled upward, and accordingly, the interlocking member 26 engaged with the plunger 28 is pulled up, and the slide pin 27 inserted into the interlocking member 26 is pulled up. .

  As a result, the slide pin 27 comes into contact with the plate-like protrusion 30 provided on the next product support member 20, and the force received by the plate-like protrusion 30 from the slide pin 27 brings the next product support member 20 into the product passage 6. Rotate to project.

In addition, due to the force that the plate-like protrusion 30 receives from the slide pin 27, the next product support member 20
12 is the direction in which the next product support member 20 shown in FIG. 12 protrudes toward the product passage 6 at the portion of the plate-like protrusion 30 where the slide pin 27 abuts when rotating in the direction protruding into the product passage 6. The first inclined surface with which the slide pin 27 abuts until it rotates about 20 degrees, and then slides until the next product support member 20 shown in FIG. A second inclined surface with which the pin 27 abuts and a third inclined surface with which the slide pin 27 abuts thereafter are formed, and the product holding portion 40 shown in FIG. 8 is substantially parallel to the passage restriction plate 18. In such a state that the first inclined surface is stored on the product passage-side frame 17a of the product carry-out device 17, the first inclined surface is larger in inclination angle than the second inclined surface, but is more than the third inclined surface. The tilt angle is small.

  In the third inclined surface, the rotation angle in the direction in which the next product support member 20 projects toward the product passage 6 with respect to the upward movement distance of the slide pin 27 is relatively smaller than the other inclined surfaces. The next product support member 20 can be rotated in a direction protruding toward the product passage 6 with a relatively larger force than the other inclined surfaces. In addition, since the second inclined surface is present, the slide pin 27 is moved upward as compared with the case where the second inclined surface is not provided (when the portion forming the second inclined surface is also the first inclined surface). The rotation angle in the direction in which the next product support member 20 with respect to the movement distance projects toward the product passage 6 can be increased.

  Until the next product support member 20 protrudes toward the product passage 6 by about 20 degrees from the state in which the next product support member 20 is most retracted, the product holding auxiliary plate 38 is in the state shown in FIG. Then, the turn-up suppressing portion 54 of the product holding auxiliary plate 38 is in contact with the tip of the contact piece 53 formed by cutting and raising the upper edge of the through hole 52 (position shown by the solid line in FIGS. 9 to 12). And a position (position indicated by a broken line in FIGS. 9 to 12) where the storage guide portion 51 of the commodity holding auxiliary plate 38 contacts the frame 17a.

  When the next product support member 20 protrudes from the most retracted state from the product passage 6 to the product passage 6 side by about 25 degrees to about 30 degrees, the product holding auxiliary plate 38 is turned upside down. 54 is a position where the front end of the contact piece 53 formed by cutting and raising at the upper edge of the through hole 52 (the position indicated by the solid line in FIGS. 13 and 14), and the product holding auxiliary plate 38 supports the next product. It is possible to shift (rotate) between a position (a position indicated by a broken line in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14) that overlaps the product holding surface 31 at the front end (upper end) of the member 20.

  When the next product support member 20 protrudes toward the product passage 6 by about 35 degrees from the state in which it is most retracted from the product passage 6 (a state in which the plate-like protrusion 30 is in contact with the slide pin 27 pulled up to the maximum). The product holding auxiliary plate 38 is located at the position where the tip of the excessive protrusion preventing portion 55 of the product holding auxiliary plate 38 contacts the surface of the upper edge of the through hole 52 in the frame 17a on the side opposite to the product passage (shown by a solid line in FIG. 15). (Position) and a position (position indicated by a broken line in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14) where the product holding auxiliary plate 38 overlaps the product holding surface 31 at the tip (upper end) of the next product support member 20 Is possible).

  When the next product support member 20 protrudes vigorously into the product passage 6 due to the force received by the plate-shaped protrusion 30 from the slide pin 27 and there is no beverage product 9 that prevents the next product support member 20 from protruding, the next product support member 20 May protrude to the state shown in FIG.

  In the state shown in FIG. 16, the excessive protrusion preventing portion 55 is brought into contact with the surface (contact surface 53 a) on the side opposite to the product passage of the contact piece 53 formed by cutting and raising at the upper edge of the through hole 52. Excessive protrusion of the next product support member 20 to the product passage 6 side is stopped by the product support auxiliary plate 38 in contact with the product support auxiliary plate 38 (the product holding auxiliary plate 38 reduces the protrusion range of the next product support member 20 to the product passage 6 side. Limit).

  In the case where the next product support member 20 is in the position shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, the turn-up suppressing portion 54 of the product holding auxiliary plate 38 is cut and raised at the upper edge of the through hole 52. In the direction in which the product holding auxiliary plate 38 overlaps the product holding surface 31 at the tip (upper end) of the next product support member 20 due to the reaction of the contact and the weight of the product holding auxiliary plate 38. If the beverage product 9 is placed on the next product support member 20 in a state of being separated upward from the product holding surface 31 at the tip (upper end) of the next product support member 20, With the force received from the product 9 and the weight of the product holding auxiliary plate 38, the product holding auxiliary plate 38 rotates in a direction overlapping the product holding surface 31 at the tip (upper end) of the next product support member 20.

  By the operation of the next product support member 20 and the product holding auxiliary plate 38 as described above, the second beverage product 9 from the bottom stacked on the main product support member 21 is placed on the tip (upper end) of the next product support member 20. The product holding surface 31 provided, the product holding auxiliary plate 38 that overlaps with the product holding surface 31, and the passage regulating plate 18 that is disposed to face the product carry-out device 17 are temporarily held.

  On the other hand, the main product support member 21 retracts toward the frame 17a by the force received from the beverage product 9 in conjunction with the upward movement of the interlock member 26 (the product passage 6 in the main product support member 21). It becomes a state which cannot prevent that the main product support member 21 rotates so that the surface which opposes the drink goods 9 in the inside may become substantially parallel with respect to the flame | frame 17a (or channel | path control board 18).

  As a result, the main product support member 21 rotates downward, the lowermost beverage product 9 stacked on the main product support member 21 is dispensed downward, and passes through a carry-out inclined plate provided below the product storage shelf. The beverage product 9 passes to the purchaser.

  When the lowermost beverage product 9 stacked on the main product support member 21 is dispensed downward, it returns to a standby state, that is, a state before sales.

  Thereafter, when the energization of the solenoid 25 is finished, the magnetic force attracting the plunger 28 is lost, and the plunger 28 moves downward by the force of gravity and the force of the coil spring attached to the interlocking member 26 to shrink, The interlocking member 26 engaged with the hole of the plunger 28 and the slide pin 27 inserted into the hole of the flange of the interlocking member 26 also moved downward and contacted with the slide pin 27 so as to rotate into the product passage 6. The next product support member 20 returns to its original position.

On the other hand, in conjunction with the downward movement of the interlocking member 26, the retraction prevention member 24 returns to a state where the main commodity support member 21 can be prevented from retreating toward the frame 17a by the force received from the beverage commodity 9. As a result, the beverage product 9 held on the next product support member 20 falls on the main product support member 21 and enters a sales standby state.

  When the next product support member 20 returns to its original position, the product holding auxiliary plate 38 attached to the tip (upper end) of the next product support member 20 has the storage guide portion 51 in contact with the frame 17a. The product holding auxiliary plate 38 rotates in a direction away from the product holding surface 31, and the product holding auxiliary plate 38 has a product holding portion 40 substantially parallel to the passage regulating plate 18 and a frame on the product passage side of the product carry-out device 17. It comes to be stored on 17a.

As described above, the product carry-out device 17 of the vending machine according to the present embodiment is attached to the frame 17a facing the product passage 6 so as to hold the beverage product 9 on the most downstream side of the product passage 6 when protruding. A main product support member 21 that performs a projecting operation and a retreat operation with respect to the product passage 6, and a main product support that is provided at the opening 19 of the frame 17a so as to be rotatable upstream of the main product support member 21 in the product passage 6. When the beverage product 9 on the most downstream side is paid out by the backward movement of the member 21, the second beverage product 9 from the downstream side can be held by the product holding surface 31 formed on the upper surface of the upper end portion with respect to the product passage 6. A next product support member 20 that performs a protruding operation and a retreat operation, and a next product support member 20 that is attached to the next product support member 20 so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis parallel to the rotation axis of the next product support member 20 is provided. Product And a product retention auxiliary plate 38 overlying the product holding surface 31 as the beverage products 9 does not enter a gap between the product holding surface 31 and the frame 17a when projecting the road 6.

  Then, the product holding auxiliary plate 38 abuts on the frame 17a when the next product supporting member 20 moves backward from the product passage 6 so that the product holding auxiliary plate 38 rotates from the frame 17a in a direction that does not obstruct the product passage 6. When the next product support member 20 is inserted from the through hole 52 of the frame 17a to the side opposite to the product passage in the frame 17a and the next product support member 20 projects into the product passage 6, the product is received by contact with the upper edge of the through hole 52. A stapling suppression portion 54 is formed on the free end side of the product holding auxiliary plate 38 so that the rotation of the holding auxiliary plate 38 in the direction of turning up from the product holding surface 31 is restricted.

  In the above configuration, when the next product support member 20 moves backward from the product passage 6, the storage guide portion 51 is formed after the storage guide portion 51 formed on the free end side of the product holding auxiliary plate 38 contacts the frame 17a. The product holding auxiliary plate 38 rotates in a direction away from the product holding surface 31 of the next product support member 20 due to the stress received from the frame 17a, and when the backward operation of the next product support member 20 is finished, the product carry-out device 17 This is along the surface of the frame 17a facing the passage restriction plate 18.

  When the next product support member 20 protrudes into the product passage 6, the next product support member 20 is formed by contacting the upper edge of the through hole 52 with the stapling suppression portion 54 formed on the free end side of the product holding auxiliary plate 38. The range of rotation of the member 20 from the product holding surface 31 in the direction in which the product holding auxiliary plate 38 is turned up is limited.

  Therefore, even if there is no urging means (torsion coil spring 49) for urging the product holding auxiliary plate 38 in a direction overlapping the product holding surface 31, the product holding auxiliary plate 38 can be normally rotated, and the torsion coil spring can be operated. Cost reduction and productivity improvement by stopping the use of 49 can be realized.

  Further, by configuring the turn-up suppressing portion 54 to contact the upper edge of the through hole 52 in a substantially line contact, the possibility of deformation or breakage of the contact portions can be reduced. It is possible to improve the reliability of the curling suppression function.

  Further, the product carry-out device 17 of the vending machine according to the present embodiment is configured such that the next product support member 20 exceeds the predetermined rotation range and protrudes into the product passage 6, and the anti-product passage around the through hole 52 in the frame 17 a. An excessive protrusion preventing portion 55 that contacts the side surface and prevents the next product support member 20 from excessively protruding into the product passage 6 is formed on the free end side of the turn-up suppressing portion 54.

  In general, when the beverage product 9 enters the gap between the next product support member 20 and the frame 17a that protrudes excessively into the product passage 6, it is difficult for the next product support member 20 to move backward from the product passage 6. Thus, there is a risk that the reliability of the product carry-out of the product carry-out device 17 may be reduced, and it is an important issue to prevent the next product support member 20 from excessively protruding into the product passage 6.

In the above configuration, when the next product support member 20 protrudes into the product passage 6 due to the suction force of the solenoid 25, the beverage product 9 that stops the momentum of turning in the direction in which the next product support member 20 protrudes into the product passage 6 in particular. If the product passage 6 is not present, the next product support member 20 has an over-projection prevention portion 55 formed on the free end side of the turn-up restraining portion 54 against the surface on the side opposite to the product passage around the through hole 52 in the frame 17a. Until coming into contact, it is possible to project into the commodity passage 6.

  However, when the excessive protrusion preventing portion 55 formed on the free end side of the curl-up suppressing portion 54 comes into contact with the surface of the frame 17a around the through hole 52 on the side opposite to the product passage, the excessive protrusion preventing portion 55 is caught by the frame 17a. As a result, the product holding auxiliary plate 38 cannot move to the product passage 6 side any more.

  As a result, the next product support member 20 is further connected to the product passage 6 from the rotational position of the next product support member 20 when the excessive protrusion preventing portion 55 comes into contact with the surface of the frame 17a around the through hole 52 on the side opposite to the product passage. The product holding auxiliary plate 38 that is pivotally connected to the next product support member 20 is restrained from rotating in the direction protruding in the direction.

  Further, since the presence of the excessive protrusion preventing portion 55 and the turn-up suppressing portion 54 reduces the gap that is formed between the next product support member 20 and the frame 17a, the beverage product 9 is placed in the gap between the next product support member 20 and the frame 17a. As a result, the phenomenon that the backward movement of the next product support member 20 from the product passage 6 becomes difficult to occur, and the product delivery reliability of the product delivery device 17 is improved.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the excessive protrusion preventing portion 55 is formed to be bent in a turning direction in the direction of turning up from the product holding surface 31 of the product holding auxiliary plate 38, and the anti-product passage above the through hole 52 in the frame 17a. It is comprised so that a substantially surface contact is possible for the side surface.

  With the above configuration, the product holding auxiliary plate 38 in which the excessive protrusion preventing portion 55 is bent is caused to function as a leaf spring, and the excessive protrusion preventing portion 55 is substantially in surface contact with the surface on the side opposite to the product passage around the through hole 52. It is configured to abut, and the impact when the excessive protrusion preventing portion 55 abuts against the surface on the side of the anti-commodity passage around the through hole 52 can be reduced, and the load caused by the impact when abutting is concentrated on the local area. Therefore, the possibility of deformation or breakage of the commodity holding auxiliary plate 38 including the excessive protrusion preventing portion 55 can be reduced. As a result, the reliability of the excessive protrusion preventing function by the excessive protrusion preventing portion 55 or the like can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, the product holding auxiliary plate 38 is made of a metal plate, and the edges of the storage guide portion 51, the turn-up suppressing portion 54, and the excessive protrusion preventing portion 55 are folded back so as to be in close contact with each other. Reinforcing ribs 56 are punched out at the bent portion between the suppressing portion 54 and the excessive protrusion preventing portion 55.

  With the above-described configuration, the metal holding auxiliary plate 38 is made thin by thinning the metal plate constituting the product holding auxiliary plate 38 while ensuring the strength of each of the storage guide portion 51, the turn-up suppressing portion 54, and the excessive protrusion preventing portion 55. It becomes possible to reduce the weight.

  Then, by reducing the weight of the product holding auxiliary plate 38, the suction force of the solenoid 25 that causes the next product support member 20 to protrude into the product passage 6 and the biasing means (in the coil portion) that causes the next product support member 20 to retreat from the product passage 6 are provided. The urging force of the torsion coil spring (which is inserted into the pin 23c, one arm portion is attached to the next product support member 20, and the other arm portion is held by the frame 17a) can be made smaller than before.

In addition, the next product support member 20 in the present embodiment receives a force that causes the next product support member 20 to protrude into the product passage 6 at a position offset to one side of the rotation axis direction of the next product support member 20. Yes, the turn-up restraining part 54 and the excessive protrusion preventing part 55 are the ends on the side receiving the relatively large force that the next product support member 20 projects into the product passage 6 among the ends of the product holding auxiliary plate 38 in the rotational axis direction. Only formed.

  In the above-described configuration, the turn-up suppressing portion 54 and the excessive protrusion preventing portion 55 are relatively received by the next product support member 20 in the rotational axis direction of the product holding auxiliary plate 38 so that the next product support member 20 protrudes into the product passage 6. This is because only the end of the product holding auxiliary plate 38 is formed on both ends in the rotational axis direction of the product holding auxiliary plate 38. The product holding auxiliary plate 38 is attached to the next product support member 20 with the portion that is rotatably attached to the next product support member 20 by the protrusion and retraction operation of the next product support member 20 as the rotation axis. Since the moment of inertia at the time of rotation is reduced, the product suppressing member 54 and the excessive protrusion preventing portion 5 are formed only at the end on the side where the next product supporting member 20 receives a relatively large force that the next product supporting member 20 protrudes into the product passage 6. Accordingly, it is possible to obtain the effect of curling suppression and excess protruding prevented.

  Further, by reducing the weight of the product holding auxiliary plate 38, the suction force of the solenoid 25 that causes the next product support member 20 to protrude into the product passage 6 and the urging means that moves the next product support member 20 backward from the product passage 6 (in the coil portion). The urging force of the torsion coil spring (which is inserted into the pin 23c, one arm portion is attached to the next product support member 20, and the other arm portion is held by the frame 17a) can be made smaller than before.

  In addition, when the turning-up suppressing part 54 and the excessive protrusion preventing part 55 are formed at both ends in the rotation axis direction of the product holding auxiliary plate 38, the “bending” and “twisting” of the next product support member 20 are affected. The next product support member 20 is formed at the end opposite to the side that receives a relatively large force that causes the product passage 6 to protrude into the product passage 6, and the curl suppression portion 54 and the excessive protrusion prevention portion 55 have a relatively large force (impact). I have confirmed that I will receive it.

  Therefore, if the turn-up suppressing part 54 and the excessive protrusion preventing part 55 are formed only at one end of both ends in the rotational axis direction of the commodity holding auxiliary plate 38, the next commodity support member 20 projects into the commodity passage 6. Rather than forming only at the end on the side opposite to the side receiving the relatively large force that the next product support member 20 protrudes into the product passage 6 is formed only at the end on the side receiving relatively large force. It is excellent in the durability of the turn-up suppressing part 54 and the excessive protrusion preventing part 55, which is preferable.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a resin-made code guide 59 that protects the wiring cord 58 adjacent to the excessive protrusion preventing portion 55 and the turn-up suppressing portion 54 from the excessive protrusion preventing portion 55 and the turn-up suppressing portion 54 is attached to the frame 17a. Yes.

  With the above configuration, either one or both of the excessive protrusion preventing portion 55 and the turn-up suppressing portion 54 contact the wiring cord 58 to break (cut) the cord, or the excessive protrusion preventing portion 55 and the turn-up suppressing portion 54. Any one or both of these can be caught by the wiring cord 58, and the possibility that either or both of the next product support member 20 and the product holding auxiliary plate 38 will not operate normally can be reduced.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the portion of the frame 17a to which the code guide 59 is attached projects substantially horizontally to the anti-product passage side by cutting and raising the upper side as a fulcrum to the anti-product passage side. A substantially square hole 61 is formed on the flange 60 and below the flange 60, and the code guide 59 includes a protective wall 62 that protects the flange 60, an insertion hole 63 that engages with the flange 60, and a substantially square hole 61. A hole closing portion 64 that closes the wire 60, a cord pressing portion 65 that surrounds and holds the wiring cord 58 at a position close to the frame 17 a side above the flange 60, and a wiring cord 58 at a position away from the protruding direction side of the flange 60. Are integrally formed with a code guide portion 66 that guides so as not to be displaced vertically.

  With the above configuration, simply inserting the flange 60 of the frame 17a into the insertion hole 63 of the code guide 59 makes it possible to easily attach the code guide 59 to the frame 17a. The portion of the frame 17a formed on the side of the frame 17a can be closed, and the portion where the excessive protrusion preventing portion 55 may come into contact when the next product support member 20 is substantially retracted from the product passage 6 is made of resin. The protective wall 62 of the cord guide 59 and the hole closing portion 64 can be used to smoothly move the excessive protrusion preventing portion 55. The wiring cord 58 of the solenoid 25 and the wiring cord 58 of the micro switch for detecting goods are provided. Can be held by the cord pressing portion 65 at a position protected from the excessive protrusion preventing portion 55 by the protective wall 62, and the protrusion of the flange 60 can be It can guide the wiring cord 58 of the solenoid 25 in the code guide portion 66 of the cord guide 59 at a position away on the other side.

  As described above, since the product carry-out device of the vending machine according to the present invention can operate the product holding auxiliary plate normally without providing the biasing means for biasing the product holding auxiliary plate, the can, the bottle It is suitable for vending machines for products such as beverages using containers such as PET bottles.
