The protrusions 525 and 525 are the above-mentioned mechanism holding members when the first stopper member 52 is rotated so that the first stopper member 52 protrudes into the product storage passage 43 around the rotation shaft 57 and opens to the maximum opening degree. 51 is configured to enter openings 519 and 519 formed in the bottom wall of a concave groove formed between the left and right side walls 512 and 513 and the guide walls 514 and 515.

  The 2nd stopper member 53 which comprises the discharge mechanism 50 in the goods carrying-out apparatus 5 becomes a product made from a synthetic resin (for example, polyacetal), and is provided with the shaft insertion hole 532 formed in the base end part side, as shown in FIG. Further, two shaft support portions 531, a product holding portion 533 formed on the distal end side, and a pair of left and right stopper walls 534 formed on the body portion 530 between the base end portion and the distal end holding portion 533 are integrally formed. Has been. A concave sliding groove 534a is formed in the pair of left and right stopper walls 534, and a stopper surface 534b is formed continuously with the sliding groove 534a. The dimension between the left and right shaft support parts 531 is larger than the dimension between the two bearing parts 522 provided with the shaft insertion holes 524 of the first stopper member 52 and the right and left of the mechanism part holding member 51 described above. It is determined to be smaller than the dimension between the side walls 512 and 513. In addition, a plurality of ribs 530 a extending from the base end portion toward the holding portion 533 are formed on the surface of the body portion 530 that faces the product storage passage 43.

  A shaft insertion hole 532 formed in the shaft support portion 531 is for inserting the rotation shaft 57. The holding portion 533 is configured to abut the product and hold the product when the second stopper member 53 protrudes into the product storage passage 43. The concave sliding groove 534a formed in the stopper wall 534 is slidable by a front link pin 56 that slides in the front-rear direction, and is moved to a retracted position (on the left and right side walls 512, 513 of the mechanism holding member 51). The front link pin 56 slid and moved to the rear end position of the formed long hole 517 is received and the second stopper member 53 is locked at the retracted position retracted from the product storage passage 43, and the front link pin 56 is moved from the retracted position. The second stopper member 53 is pushed out toward the product storage passage 43 when sliding forward. Further, the stopper surface 534b connected to the sliding groove 534a in the stopper wall 534 is a front link pin that is slid and moved to a forward position (a front end position of the long hole 517 formed in the left and right side walls 512 and 513 of the mechanism holding member 51). The second stopper member 53 that abuts on 56 and protrudes into the product storage passage 43 is prevented from moving toward the retracted position, and the second stopper member 53 is locked at the protruding position.

  The plurality of ribs 530a formed on the body portion 530 help to carry out the sale product G by reducing the contact area with the sale product G at the time of sale. That is, when the inclination angle of the product storage shelf 10 stored in the product storage is gradually reduced, the sales product G that is held by the first stopper member 52 protruding into the product storage passage 43 in the standby state and is in a stationary state. When the holding state is released by the first stopper member 52 retracted from the product storage passage 43 at the time of product sales, the time until rolling starts toward the carry-out passage 46 becomes longer. That is, when the number of product storage shelves 10 arranged in the vertical direction in the product storage is increased, the inclination angle of the product storage shelf 10 is reduced, so that the sale product G is released from the stationary state. The time until rolling starts is increased. In such a case, the first stopper member 52 retracts from the product storage passage 43 and at the same time, the body 530 of the second stopper member 53 protruding into the product storage passage 43 presses the sales product G from the front side obliquely upward. G is urged to roll, and contributes to carrying out the sale product G. However, when the body 530 of the second stopper member 53 is a flat surface, the contact with the sales product G becomes a line in the longitudinal direction of the sales product G, and the contact area increases. In this case, if the container of the product G is made of a thin plastic, the container is deformed when the trunk portion 530 of the second stopper member 53 contacts the product G, and the contact area increases. As described above, when the contact area between the second stopper member 53 and the sold product G increases, the sold product G may be sandwiched between the second stopper member 53 and the product storage shelf 10 and may not move. In this respect, when the plurality of ribs 530a are formed on the body portion 530 of the second stopper member 53 as in this embodiment, the contact with the sold product G becomes a substantially point contact, so that the frictional resistance can be reduced. Even if the container is deformed when the body 530 of the second stopper member 53 comes into contact with the product G when the container of the product G is made of a thin plastic, the plurality of ribs 530a allow the space between the container and the body 530. Therefore, the contact area can be reduced and the frictional resistance can be reduced, and the second stopper member 53 can promote the rolling of the commodity G to be smoothly carried out.

  Note that a stopper 531 a is formed on the outer peripheral edge of the shaft support portion 531 of the second stopper member 53 so as to protrude in the radially outward direction. The stopper 531a comes into contact with the back surface of the concave groove formed between the right side wall 513 and the guide wall 515 of the mechanism holding member 51 when the second stopper member 53 protrudes into the product storage passage 43.

The first stopper member 52 opens to the maximum opening degree by the biasing force of the torsion coil spring 570 when receiving no product load, and the sale product G comes into contact with the holding portion 521 of the first stopper member 52 from this state. When a product load is received, the opening is configured to rotate from the maximum opening to a direction in which the opening is reduced and locked by the rear link pin 56. When the product is rotated from the maximum opening to the lock position, the first stopper member 52 is configured. The pressing of the actuator 93 of the sold-out detection switch 91 by the protrusion 525 is released. In this case, the control unit that processes the signal from the sold-out detection switch 91 performs a process of determining “sold out” when the ON signal from the sold-out detection switch 91 continues for a predetermined time.

  In the motor drive unit 70 mounted on the product carry-out device 5, a motor 711 (see FIG. 30) built in the unit case 71 is driven to rotate forward by a sales command based on the operation of the product selection button.

A pressing piece (not visible in FIG. 30) is formed. The cam projection 7151 is formed in an arc shape so as to protrude in a direction away from the plate surface of the output gear 715. The cam protrusion 7151 is formed so that the arc-shaped length is sufficient to hold the state for a predetermined time after the link member 541 of the link mechanism 54 is advanced. The pressing piece for controlling the carrier switch 716 is formed in a substantially V shape in such a manner that it is positioned on the plate surface opposite to the cam projection 7151 and protrudes in a direction away from the plate surface. In this state, the contact of the carrier switch 716 is pressed. The output gear 715 is rotatably arranged by the base member of the unit case 71 and the bearing portion of the cover member.

  The carrier switch 716 is a so-called push button switch and includes a contact (not shown). The carrier switch 716 is disposed in a state slightly held above the output gear 715 while being held by the base member of the unit case 71. The carrier switch 716 is turned on when the contact is pressed by the pressing piece of the output gear 715, and is turned off when the pressing piece of the output gear 715 is separated and the contact is not pressed. This is for controlling the motor 711 driven by the sales command so that the output gear 715 rotates once.

  The link lever 717 is a resin molded product. The link lever 717 is for driving the link mechanism 54 of the payout mechanism 50 in the commodity carry-out device 5. The link lever 717 is rotatably supported by a lever shaft 710 provided on a cover member of the unit case 71 that passes through the base 717a. The distal end portion 717b of the link lever 717 has a hook shape that is curved upward so as to protrude outward from an opening (not shown) formed by cutting out the base member and the cover member of the unit case 71. The locking piece 717c provided on the base portion 717a of the link lever 717 is a plate-like elastic member that is elastically deformable and extends rearward from the rear side of the base portion 717a. The locking piece 717c has its free end in contact with a protruding piece (not shown) provided on the cover member, so that the standby posture of the link lever 717 in the normal state is determined at the position shown in FIG. The link lever 718 is composed of the same components as the link lever 717, and is an inverted version of the link lever 717. The link lever 718 is rotatably supported by a lever shaft 710 provided on the cover member of the unit case 71 that penetrates the base 718a. In addition, a hook-shaped tip 718b and a locking piece 718c made of an elastically deformable plate-like elastic member are provided. The operation of driving the link mechanism 54 of the payout mechanism 50 by the motor drive unit 70 to pay out the product will be omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 22, the driving unit holding member 80 for locking and fixing the motor driving unit 70 includes a left flange 81, a right flange 82, a front flange 83 and a rear flange extending toward the upper side on the periphery of the rectangular flat plate surface. It is made of a thin steel plate with the flange 84 formed. The front flange 83 has a height that is one step lower than the left and right flanges 81, 82, and a descending step-like harness holding portion 85 is formed integrally with the free end. Further, the left flange 81 and the right flange 82 are formed with mounting pieces 811 and 821 which are bent in opposite directions to form horizontal planes, and screw holes 811a and 821a are formed in the mounting pieces 811 and 821, respectively. Yes. Further, the rear flange 84 is formed with two notches 84a and 84a on the left and right (the right notch is not visible in the figure). The notches 84a and 84a are for avoiding interference with the wiring guide member 90 described above. The harness holding portion 85 guides the motor 711, the carrier switch 716 wiring, and the sold-out detection switch 91 wiring of the motor drive unit 70 (70A, 70B), and places the wiring collected in a bundle. A placement portion 851 is provided. The wires of the motor 711, the carrier switch 716, and the sold-out detection switch 91 are combined and connected to a coupler (not shown), and this coupler is a coupler mounting hole 121 provided in the hanging portion 120 of the rear side shelf member 10R. It is fixed to.

  The drive portion holding member 80 is an engagement in which claw pieces 71 a and 71 a (see FIG. 22) provided on the head of the base member in the unit case 71 of the motor drive unit 70 are formed on the front flange 83 of the drive portion holding member 80. The fitting protrusions 71b and 71b and the locking protrusions 71c and 71c (see FIG. 21) formed on the back surface of the base member in the unit case 71 after being inserted into the holes 831 and 831 (see FIG. 21) By fitting into the 80 fitting holes 8a and 8 and the locking square holes 8b and 8b (see FIG. 22), the motor drive unit 70 is assembled and attached directly to the product storage shelf 10 as follows. . In this case, as a pre-process, the mechanism holding member 51 is directly attached to the commodity storage shelf 10 as described above.

  In other words, two left and right wiring guide members 90 assembled to the two left and right mechanism holding members 51 directly attached to the commodity storage shelf 10 are provided on the left and right sides provided on the rear flange 84 of the driving unit holding member 80. The notches 84a and 84a are positioned, and the right and left two link members 541 assembled to the two right and left mechanism holding members 51 are bent at a right angle downward from the front edge of the central top surface 541a. The front ends 717b of the link levers 717 of the two left and right motor drive units 70 are positioned behind (rear side) the wall surface 541b. Then, a coupler (not shown) in which the wirings of the motor 711, the carrier switch 716, and the sold-out detection switch 91 are combined is fixed to the coupler mounting hole 121 provided in the hanging portion 120 of the rear shelf member 10R, and then the driving unit holding member. After the mounting pieces 811 and 821 provided on the left and right flanges 81 and 82 of 80 are brought into contact with the back surfaces of the fixing portions 124 and 129 formed as recessed portions in the rear side shelf member 10R constituting the commodity storage shelf 10, Screws are screwed into the screw holes 811a and 821a provided in the mounting pieces 811 and 821 through the screw insertion holes 124a and 129a provided in the bottom surface of the recess. Thereby, the drive part holding member 80 which latched and fixed the motor drive unit 70 is directly attached to the back side shelf member 10R (product storage shelf 10).

  Next, the operation of driving the link mechanism 54 in the payout mechanism 50 of the product carry-out device 5 by the motor drive unit 70 to pay out the product will be described with reference to FIGS. 31 to 33 show the main part of the product carry-out device 5, FIG. 31 is a diagram for explaining the operation before loading the product, FIG. 32 is a diagram for explaining the operation in a standby state, and FIG. 33 is a diagram for explaining the operation at the time of sale. In the operation explanatory diagram in the sales standby state in FIG. 32, the operation explanatory diagram of this embodiment is shown on the upper side, and the operation explanatory diagram of the comparative example is shown on the lower side.

  As shown in FIG. 31, the first stopper member 52 of the payout mechanism 50 projects into the product storage passage 43 by the urging force of the torsion coil spring 570 (see FIG. 22) before the product is loaded, and the second stopper The member 53 is retracted from the product storage passage 43. In this case, the cam projection 7151 of the output gear 715 of the motor drive unit 70 is located in the foremost position (see FIG. 30A). In addition, the carrier switch 716 pressing piece provided on the back surface of the output gear 715 is located in the foremost position, and the carrier switch 716 is in the ON state. As a result, the motor 711 is stopped, and the tip end portion 717b of the link lever 717 is at a position spaced rearward from the engagement wall surface 541b of the link member 541. For this reason, the link member 541 is in a state of being retracted by the urging force of the return spring 540. The first stopper member 52 protrudes into the product storage passage 43 by the biasing force of the torsion coil spring 570 and has a maximum opening (for example, the angle with the second stopper member 53 retracted from the product storage passage 43 is approximately 90 degrees). Is in the open protruding position. The operating range of the first stopper member 52 is restricted by the cooperation with the rear link pin 55 inserted into the deformed hole 523 provided in the bearing portion 522 of the first stopper member 52, and the first stopper member 52 has the maximum opening degree. The locking groove 523a of the modified hole 523 has a gap with the rear link pin 55 in a state where the opening is not maximized. Thus, in the state where the first stopper member 52 is opened to the maximum opening, the protrusion 525 of the first stopper member 52 faces the window 92 on the bottom surface of the thick groove portion 90a of the wiring guide member 90, and the mechanism portion holding member 51 Through the opening 519 formed in the bottom wall of the concave groove, the actuator 93 of the sold-out detection switch 91 attached to the thick groove 90a of the wiring guide member 90 is pressed, and the sold-out detection switch 91 is in the ON state. . On the other hand, the second stopper member 53 is maintained in the retracted position where the front link pin 56 moved to the retracted position is received in the concave sliding groove 534 a formed in the stopper wall 534 and retracted from the product storage passage 43. Yes.

  In such a standby state, the product G loaded first comes into contact with the holding portion 521 of the first stopper member 52 which is opened to the maximum opening and in the protruding position. When the product G abuts, the first stopper member 52 rotates toward the retracted position. As a result of this rotation, the locking groove 523 a of the deformed hole 523 in the bearing portion 522 of the first stopper member 52 comes into contact with the rear link pin 55 moved to the retracted position, and the first stopper member 52 protrudes into the product storage passage 43. The product G locked at the position and held by the first stopper member 52 becomes the product with the highest sales order (sales product G1) (see FIG. 32). As described above, the product storage passage is configured such that the first stopper member 52 is opened from the maximum opening to an opening smaller than the maximum opening (for example, the angle with the second stopper member 53 retracted from the product storage passage 43 is approximately 95 degrees). When it is rotated so as to be locked in the state protruding to 43, the protrusion 525 of the first stopper member 52 releases the press of the actuator 93 of the sold-out detection switch 91, so that the sold-out detection switch 91 is turned off. The next loaded product is stacked on the sales product G1 held by the first stopper member 52 to become the next sales product G2, and the subsequently loaded products are sequentially stacked on the next sales product G2. .

  Here, the holding portion 521 of the first stopper member 52 is formed with a product receiving portion 521a that receives a large-diameter product, and when the large-diameter product GL is loaded, the product GL is the first stopper member. 52, the position of the large-diameter product (sales product) held by the product receiving portion 521a formed in the holding portion 521 and held by the first stopper member 52 is closer to the rear end of the product storage shelf 10. Moving. On the other hand, as shown in the comparative example shown on the lower side of FIG. 32, when the first stopper member 52 is linear, the large-diameter product GL abuts on the substantially middle portion of the first stopper member 52. The holding position of the large-diameter product GL held by the first stopper member 52 is located on the product insertion port 44 side. As can be understood by comparison with the comparative example, when the first stopper member 52 of this embodiment is used, the holding position of the large-diameter product GL held by the first stopper member 52 by the dimension LX is set on the product storage shelf 10. It can be moved closer to the rear end. Although the dimension LX is smaller than the diameter of the large-diameter product GL, in the first stopper member 52 of the comparative example, when the last product GL protrudes forward from the product insertion port 44, it interferes with the heat-insulated inner door 3. Since the inner door 3 cannot be closed, the last product GL cannot be stored. On the other hand, in the first stopper member 52 of this embodiment, the storage position of the sales product GL is set by the dimension LX. Since it can be moved to the rear, the last product GL can be stored. As a result, the number of items stored in the product storage passage 43 can be increased. The small-diameter product GM is held on the tip side of the holding portion 521 of the first stopper member 52.

  As described above, the product G stored in the product storage rack 4 is cooled or heated by the cooling / heating unit 7 and is stored in a cold or hot state suitable for sale and is in a state where it can be sold (sales standby state). Although not shown in the figure, it has a control unit that controls the entire vending machine. This main control unit includes a ROM that stores various execution programs, a RAM that stores various data, and various input signals. The cooling / heating unit 7 is driven and controlled according to a zone cooling or zone heating, overall cooling or overall heating program. In such a sales standby state, when a sales command is given to the motor drive unit 70 based on the operation of the product selection switch, the motor 711 built in the motor drive unit 70 is driven to rotate forward, via the gear transmission mechanism 714. Thus, the output gear 715 rotates in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. When the output gear 715 rotates, the pressing piece provided on the back surface of the output gear 715 is detached from the contact of the carrier switch 716, the carrier switch 716 is turned off, and then the carrier switch 716 is turned on (i.e., The period until the output gear 715 rotates once) The motor 711 is driven to rotate forward. When the cam projection 7151 comes into contact with the base end 717a of the link lever 717 from the front by the rotation of the output gear 715, the link lever 717 bends the locking piece 717c made of an elastic member, while FIG. Rotate clockwise. By rotation of the link lever 717 in the clockwise direction, the tip end portion 717b abuts against the engagement wall surface 541b of the link member 541, and the link member 541 is advanced against the urging force of the return spring 540. During the period in which the cam projection 7151 is in sliding contact with the base end portion 717a of the link lever 717 (see FIG. 30B), the link member 541 is held in the advanced state.

  As the link member 541 moves forward, the rear link pin 55 supported by the link member 541 also moves forward along the long hole 516 provided in the mechanism holding member 51 to lock the groove portion of the deformed hole 523 of the first stopper member 52. Since it is separated from 523a, the first stopper member 52 locked at the protruding position by the rear link pin 55 is unlocked. As a result, the first stopper member 52 moves toward the retracted position against the urging force of the torsion coil spring 570 due to the load of the product (see FIG. 33). Due to the movement of the first stopper member 52 to the retracted position, the sales commodity G1 passes through the first stopper member 52 and is carried out rearward. When the sales commodity G1 passes through the first stopper member 52, the first stopper member 52 automatically returns to the protruding position by the biasing force of the torsion coil spring 570.

  On the other hand, the second stopper member 53 that is held in the retracted position by receiving the front link pin 56 held by the link member 541 in the sales standby state in the concave slide groove 534a is moved forward together with the link member 541. The pin 56 is pushed out toward the protruding position by being in sliding contact with the wall surface of the sliding groove 534a (see FIG. 33). Then, the front link pin 56 advances to a position facing the stopper surface 534b of the stopper wall 534 in the second stopper member 53, so that the movement of the second stopper member 53 to the retracted position is restricted by contacting the stopper surface 534b. Is done. When the second stopper member 53 moves toward the protruding position, the second stopper member 53 comes into contact with the sales product G1 and pushes out the sales product G1. In this case, a plurality of ribs 530a extending from the base end portion toward the holding portion 533 are formed on the surface of the body portion 530 of the second stopper member 53 that faces the product storage passage 43. Therefore, the second stopper member 53 can promote the rolling of the sale merchandise G1 and smoothly carry it out. And the 2nd stopper member 53 which moved to the protrusion position contact | abuts and hold | maintains the next sale goods G2 which move back by the sale goods G1 being carried out, and the next sale goods G2 moves toward back. To regulate.

  The operation of moving the second stopper member 53 from the retracted position to the protruding position and holding the next sold product G2 while retracting the first stopper member 52 to the retracted position is performed by the output gear 715. It is executed during the time when the cam projection 7151 is in sliding contact with the base end portion 717a of the link lever 717.

  Then, when the contact between the cam projection 7151 and the base end portion 717a of the link lever 717 is released by the rotation of the output gear 715, the restoring force of the locking piece 717c in which the link lever 717 is elastically deformed causes the FIG. While returning to the standby posture of (a), the link member 541 is retracted by the biasing force of the return spring 540. The front link pin 56 supported by the link member 541 by the retraction of the link member 541 enters the sliding groove 534a from the stopper surface 534b of the second stopper member 53, and moves the second stopper member 53 toward the retracted position. . By the movement of the second stopper member 53 to the retracted position, the next sale product G2 held by the second stopper member 53 moves rearward and comes into contact with the first stopper member 52 opened to the maximum opening degree. Thereafter, the locking groove portion 523a of the deformed hole 523 in the bearing portion 522 of the first stopper member 52 comes into contact with the rear link pin 55 moved to the retracted position, and the first stopper member 52 protrudes into the product storage passage 43. And the next sale product G2 is held as a sale product. When the cam projection 7151 returns to the standby position by the rotation of the output gear 715, the contact of the carrier switch 716 is pressed by the pressing piece, and the carrier switch 716 is turned on. As a result, the drive of the motor 711 is stopped and the sales standby state is restored.

  Here, the long holes 516 and 516 provided in the bearing members 501 and 502 attached to the left and right side walls 512 and 513 of the mechanism holding member 51 for guiding the movement of the rear link pin 55 in the front-rear direction are shown in FIG. As shown in (b), the rear end portion in the front-rear direction (the portion corresponding to the retracted position of the rear link pin 55 that slides in the front-rear direction) is separated from the shaft insertion hole 5122 a through which the rotation shaft 57 passes. Since the load reducing portion 5161 formed in a manner curved in the direction is provided, the force when the first stopper member 52 unlocked at the protruding position by the rear link pin 55 is released can be reduced. In other words, the rear link pin 55 moved to the retracted position of the elongated hole 516 contacts the lock groove 523a of the deformed hole 523 of the first stopper member 52, and the first stopper member 52 is locked at the protruding position protruding into the product storage passage 43. In this state, the contact point (working point) between the rear link pin 55 and the lock groove 523a of the deformed hole 523 of the first stopper member 52 is a protruding position with the rotation shaft 57 inserted through the shaft insertion hole 518 as a fulcrum. The product load at the contact point (power point) between the holding portion 521 of the first stopper member 52 and the product G is applied. In this case, the product load applied to the action point increases as the position from the action point is further away from the force point. It is clear that it is mitigating. In this embodiment, a load reducing portion 5161 that curves in a direction away from the fulcrum of the rotating shaft 57 inserted through the shaft insertion hole 518 is provided at the rear end portion of the long hole 516, and the load reducing portion 5161 is in the retracted position. Since it has constituted so that the rear link pin 55 which moved may be received, the merchandise load which an operation point receives can be reduced. The reduction of the product load received by the point of action means that the pulling force of the lock of the first stopper member 52 protruding into the product storage passage 43 can be reduced, and the motor 711 that drives the link member 541 can be downsized. It can be made possible.

  The wirings of the motor 711, the carrier switch 716, and the sold-out detection switch 91 of the product carry-out device 5 are combined and connected to a coupler (not shown), and this coupler is provided in the hanging part 120 of the rear shelf member 10R described above.
