Description

The present invention relates to a manual product sales device, and more particularly to a manual product sales device in which a product is paid out by operating a handle.

Manual sales devices, in which coins are inserted and the handle is turned, the goods are paid out, are widely used. Generally, in this type of sales device, the inserted coins fall into the collection box when the handle is rotated, but when the handle is rotated when there is no product (empty). , Coins fall into the collection box even though the goods are not paid out, so-called blank shots have occurred, and techniques for preventing this have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). ..

The vending machine described in Patent Document 1 is provided with a product holding member that rotates in conjunction with an operator (handle) at the lower part of the product storage space, and is provided with a plurality of product holding holes in the circumferential direction of the product holding member. Become. Below the product holding member, a locking portion that can be engaged with and disengaged from the product holding portion hole is provided. When the product is in the product holding hole, the locking portion loses the weight of the product and separates from the product holding hole to allow the product holding member to rotate. When the product is not in the product holding hole, the locking portion engages with the product holding member by the elastic force of the spring to prevent the product holding member from rotating.

According to this vending machine, when there is a product in the product storage space, the product is paid out to the product discharge hole when a coin is inserted by the purchaser and the operator is rotated. Then, the inserted coin falls into the collection box as the operator rotates. On the other hand, when there are no more products in the product storage space, the locking portion prevents the product holding member from rotating, so that the operator cannot rotate. Therefore, the purchaser cannot rotate the operator even if the coin is inserted. Therefore, it is possible to prevent coins from falling into the collection box and prevent blank hits.

Japanese Patent No. 45366616 (Fig. 5)

However, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, since the existence or nonexistence of the product is detected by using the weight of the product, if the product is light, the elastic force of the spring may overcome the weight of the product. In this case, even though the product is in the product holding hole, the locking portion is engaged with the product holding hole by the spring, which causes a problem that the product cannot be sold. Therefore, it is conceivable to set the elastic force of the spring to be weak in advance, but when the elastic force of the spring becomes weak, the locking force by the locking portion decreases. That is, if the purchaser mistakenly thinks that the product is out of order and forcibly rotates the operator, the locking portion may be lowered due to the loss of the product holding member to be rotated, and the product holding member may rotate. Therefore, if the elastic force of the spring is set to be weak, it becomes impossible to reliably prevent the rotation of the product holding member, and it becomes difficult to prevent a blank shot. Based on the above, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, the elastic force of the spring should be increased in order to prevent the blank hit, but if it is made too strong, in the case of a light product, the product is not exhausted. Since the product holding member does not rotate, it is difficult to adjust the elastic force of the spring used.

An object of the present invention is to provide a manual product sales device that can more easily prevent blank shots.

The present invention is provided at a coin insertion slot into which coins are inserted, a handle that can be operated when coins are inserted into the coin insertion slot, a storage portion for storing products, and a bottom portion of the storage portion. It has a product holding member that operates in conjunction with the operation of the handle, and a plurality of product holding portions that are provided on the product holding member and hold the product, and the product holding member is operated by operating the handle. In the manual product sales device in which the products are sequentially paid out waiting in the product holding unit, the manual product selling device has a blocking means for preventing the operation of the product holding member when the products are exhausted in the storage unit.
The blocking means has a locking portion provided in the vicinity of the product holding member and capable of advancing and retreating from the side with respect to the product holding portion, and the locking portion has the product in the product holding portion. When the product is in contact with the side portion of the product or the product holding member, the product is retracted from the product holding portion to allow the operation of the product holding member, and when the product is not in the product holding portion, the product is held. It is characterized in that it is possible to enter the portion and prevent the operation of the product holding member.

Further, the manual product sales device according to the present invention has a sold-out display unit that can project to the front side of the coin insertion slot in conjunction with the operation of the locking unit, and the sold-out display unit has the locking unit. When the product is retracted from the product holding portion in contact with the side portion of the product or the product holding member to allow the operation of the product holding member of the product holding portion, the product is retracted from the front side of the coin insertion slot, while the product is retracted. When the locking portion enters the product holding portion and prevents the operation of the product holding member, it protrudes to the front side of the coin insertion slot so as to cover the coin insertion slot and display a sold-out state. May be good.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a manual product sales device that can more easily prevent blank shots.

The coins inserted into the coin slot 17 are collected in the coin collection box (not shown) when the handle 18 is rotated by the purchaser, but the coin return button 22 is pressed without the handle 18 being rotated. Then, it returns to the coin return port 23. The product take-out port 21 communicates with the storage unit 40, and when the handle 18 is rotated, one product 12 is paid out from the storage unit 40 to the product take-out port 21. The coins used in the manual product sales device of the present invention include, in addition to money, medals for product exchange provided by the store where the device is installed.

As shown in FIG. 2, the handle 18 is rotatably provided on the front cover 13 and the housing 11. The handle 18 is provided with a drive shaft 25. The drive shaft 25 extends toward the rear cover 15. A first intermediate gear 26 is provided at the tip of the drive shaft 25. The first intermediate gear 26 is rotatably supported by the rear cover 15 and meshes with the second intermediate gear 27. The second intermediate gear 27 is rotatably supported by the rear cover 15 and meshes with the third intermediate gear 28. The third intermediate gear 28 is rotatably supported by the rear cover 15. A fourth intermediate gear 31 is integrally provided on the front side of the third intermediate gear 28. The third intermediate gear 28 and the fourth intermediate gear 31 are configured as two-stage gears. The fourth intermediate gear 31 meshes with the rack 62 (described later) which is a driven contact. When the handle 18 is rotationally operated, the rotational force is applied to the turntable 60 (the "commodity holding member" referred to in the present invention) via the drive shaft 25, the first intermediate gear 26, the third intermediate gear 28, and the fourth intermediate gear 31. , Will be described later), and the turntable 60 rotates.

At the lower part of the housing 11, a discharge unit 32 for discharging the product 12 from the storage unit 40 is provided. A chute 32a formed inwardly and downwardly is provided in front of and behind the discharge portion 32. As shown by the arrow (1), the chute 32a guides the product 12 from the storage unit 40 to the product outlet 21 (see FIG. 1).

As shown in FIG. 3, the storage portion 40 includes a container body 50, a transparent cover 42 attached to the front portion of the container body 50, a turntable 60, a stirring means 61, and a blank hit prevention means 70 (“preventing means” referred to in the present invention. ") Is the main element. The container body 50 is formed in a substantially box shape that is open forward. A circular recess 51 is formed in the lower portion of the container body 50. A circular discharge hole 52 is formed at the bottom of the recess 51. Also. A through hole 53 is provided at the rear end of the recess 51. The member indicated by the reference numeral 55 is a guide for guiding the product 12 to the discharge hole 52 one by one in the container body 50, and the member indicated by the reference numeral 56 is that the product 12 stays in the corner of the container body 50. It is an inclined plate that prevents.

The turntable (commodity holding member) 60 is rotatably fitted in the recess 51 of the container body 50. A rack 62 is formed on the lower peripheral edge of the turntable 60. The rack 62 meshes with the fourth intermediate gear 31 (see FIG. 2) through the through hole 53. The turntable 60 is rotated in the recess 51 by the power transmitted from the fourth intermediate gear 31 (see FIG. 2). Further, the turntable 60 is provided with a plurality of product holding portions 63 (here, five at equal intervals) provided side by side in the circumferential direction to hold the product 12 (see FIG. 2). Each of the plurality of product holding portions 63 is formed in a tubular shape that is open vertically, and when the turntable 60 rotates, any one of them matches the discharge hole 52. The product 12 (see FIG. 2) rolls or slides on the bottom surface of the recess 51 when the product holding portion 63 and the discharge hole 52 do not match, but when the product holding portion 63 and the discharge hole 52 match, the product 12 is discharged. It falls from the hole 52 into the discharge section 32 (see FIG. 2).

The stirring means 61 includes a support portion 61a attached to the center of the turntable 60, and a plurality of stirring springs 61b supported by the support portion 61a. The stirring spring 61b rotates together with the turntable 60 to mix the product 12 (see FIG. 2) in the container body 50 and prevent the product 12 from staying.

The blank hit prevention means (prevention means) 70 prevents the operation (rotational operation in the case of this embodiment) of the turntable (product holding member) 60 when the product 12 is lost in the storage portion 40, and is a container. It is provided on the upper surface of the front portion of the body 50. Further, an inclined plate 41 is adhered to the front portion of the container body 50 from above, and the inclined plate 41 covers the blank hit prevention means 70 from above. Further, a transparent cover 42 is attached to the front portion of the container body 50.

As shown in FIG. 4, a peripheral wall 65 is formed on the outer periphery of the turntable 60. The peripheral wall 65 is formed higher than the upper edge of the recess 51. The product holding portion 63 has a substantially cylindrical shape, and the height of the product holding portion 63 is about the same as the height of the peripheral wall 65. The peripheral wall 65 is provided with a notch 66 that opens the product holding portion 63 sideways.

Subsequently, the configuration of the blank shot prevention means 70 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.
As shown in FIG. 5, the blank hit prevention means 70 includes a lock arm 71 (“locking portion” in the present invention), a link mechanism 80 connected to the lock arm 71, and sold out connected to the link mechanism 80. It has a display unit 100 and.

The lock arm 71 is rotatably provided near the outer periphery of the turntable 60 via a support shaft 72. The tip 73 of the lock arm 71 is bent in an L shape, and can move forward / backward (enter / retract) from the side through the notch 66 with respect to the product holding portion 63 that holds the product 12 to be sold next time. is there. The lock arm 71 is provided with a tension coil spring 75. The tension coil spring 75 pulls the opposite end portion with the tip portion 73 and the support shaft 72 sandwiched between them, and causes the tip portion 73 to enter the product holding portion 63 (with respect to the support shaft 72 in FIGS. 4 and 5). The lock arm 71 is always urged in the clockwise direction). As a result, when the product 12 is on the product holding portion 63, the lock arm 71 elastically contacts the side portion of the product 12 or the peripheral wall 65 of the turntable 60. The lock arm 71 can be retracted from the product holding portion 63 against the elasticity of the tension coil spring 75 by being pushed by the side portion of the product 12 or the peripheral wall 65 of the turntable 60. As a result, the lock arm 71 does not block the rotation of the turntable 60, but allows the rotation of the turntable 60. On the other hand, when the product 12 is not in the product holding portion 63, the tip portion 73 of the lock arm 71 penetrates deeply into the product holding portion 63 and engages with the edge of the notch 66. That is, the lock arm 71 is a detecting means for detecting the presence / absence of the product 12 from the side, and is also a locking portion in which the turntable 60 is engaged and the rotation is stopped according to the presence / absence of the product 12. A columnar protrusion 76 projecting upward is formed at the base end of the lock arm 71.

A link mechanism 80 is provided between the lock arm 71 and the sold-out display unit 100 so that the sold-out display unit 100 is interlocked with the operation of the lock arm 71. The link mechanism 80 is composed of a first member 81, a second member 86, and a third member 88. The first member 81 is rotatably provided on the front portion of the container body 50 via the support shaft 82. The first member 81 has elongated holes 83a, 83b and a lever 85 that are engaged with the protrusion 76 of the lock arm 71. The elongated holes 83a and 83b are composed of an arm rotating elongated hole 83a that allows the protrusion 76 to move, and a display portion dropping elongated hole 83b that is connected to the end of the arm rotating elongated hole 83a. When the tip portion 73 of the lock arm 71 elastically contacts the side portion of the product 12 or the outer circumference of the turntable 60 and tries to retract from the product holding portion 63, the first member 81 is inserted into the arm rotation slot 83a. While allowing the protrusion 76 to move, the protrusion 76 prevents the protrusion 76 from rotating around the support shaft 82. On the other hand, when the product 12 disappears and the tip portion 73 of the lock arm 71 deeply enters the product holding portion 63, the protrusion 76 shifts to the long hole 83b for dropping the display portion, and the support shaft 82 of the first member 81 is pressed. Centered rotation is allowed.

The second member 86 is a rod-shaped member extending in the front-rear direction. The rear end portion 86a of the second member 86 is connected to the tip end portion of the lever 85 of the first member 81. The second member 86 is movable in the front-rear direction, and when the protrusion 76 of the lock arm 71 prevents the rotation of the first member 81, it is in the rearmost position and cannot move from that position. However, when the rotation of the first member 81 is allowed, the first member 81 can be moved forward. A linear elongated hole 87 is formed at the front end of the second member 86.

The third member 88 is a rod-shaped member having a square cross section extending in the left-right direction. The left and right ends of the third member 88 are rotatably supported by the container body 50 in the front-rear direction via bearings 91. A swing portion 92 is attached to one end of the third member 88. The tip end portion of the swing portion 92 (the end portion opposite to the end attached to the third member 88) is slidably fitted into the elongated hole 87 of the second member 86. The front inner wall of the elongated hole 87 is in contact with the tip of the swinging portion 92, whereby when the second member 86 is prevented from moving at the rearmost position, the second member 86 causes the second member 86 to move. Since it will be pulled, the tip of the swinging portion 92 moves backward, and the forward movement is prevented. Therefore, the third member 88 attached to the swing portion 92 also rotates rearward around the bearing 91 when the second member 86 is blocked from moving at the rearmost position. This means that the forward rotation is blocked. On the other hand, when the second member 86 is allowed to move forward, the tip of the swinging portion 92 can also move forward, and therefore the third member 88 also rotates forward. It will be possible. At this time, when the third member 88 rotates forward due to the weight of the sold-out display unit 100, the tip portion of the rocking portion 92 also moves forward. At this time, since the tip of the swinging portion 92 and the elongated hole 87 are in contact with each other, the second member 86 tries to move forward by being pulled by the swinging portion 92, and the second member 86 tries to move forward accordingly. The member 81 of 1 also tries to rotate. At this time, the protrusion 76 of the lock arm 71 is located in the elongated hole 83b for dropping the display portion and does not prevent the rotation of the first member 81. As a result, the first member 81 rotates and the second member 81 rotates. Both the member 86 and the tip of the swinging portion 92 move forward, and the third member 88 rotates forward. The member indicated by reference numeral 93 is a tension coil spring that assists the rearward rotation of the third member 88.

The sold-out display unit 100 has a mounting portion 101 fixed to the other end of the third member 88, and a rotating portion 102 that extends forward and upward from the mounting portion 101 and then bends forward and downward. A display surface 103 for displaying sold-out is provided on the front outer surface of the rotating portion 102. The sold-out display unit 100 is constantly exerted by a force that tries to rotate forward and downward due to its own weight, but when the product 12 is in the product holding unit 63, the rotation of the first member 81 is prevented. Therefore, the second member 86 and the swinging portion 92 are prevented from moving forward at the rearmost position, so that the third member 88 is also prevented from rotating forward, and is sold out. The display unit 100 is also prevented from rotating forward and downward. That is, in the state where the long hole 83a for rotating the arm and the protrusion 76 are engaged, the first member 81, the second member 86, and the third member 88 are restrained, so that the sold-out display unit 100 The forward and downward rotation is also blocked. On the other hand, when the tip portion 73 of the lock arm 71 deeply enters the product holding portion 63, the protrusion 76 shifts to the elongated hole 83b for dropping the display portion, and the rotation of the first member 81 is allowed. Since the second member 86 is allowed to be restrained by the first member 81 and the rocking portion 92 and the third member 88 are also released from the restraint by the second member 86, the sold-out display portion 100 is also moved forward by its own weight. It can rotate downward.

As shown in FIG. 6, an insertion port 43 through which the rotating portion 102 of the sold-out display portion 100 can be inserted is provided in the lower portion of the transparent cover 42. The rotating portion 102 is retracted inside the transparent cover 42 in a normal selling state (when the product 12 is in the product holding portion 63), that is, after the third member 88 is rotated backward. Although it is in a state of rotating upward, when it is released from the restraint by the link mechanism 80 (see FIG. 5) and the sold-out display unit 100 rotates forward and downward due to its own weight, the outside of the transparent cover 42 is released from the insertion port 43. And covers the front side of the coin slot 17.

Next, the operation of the blank shot prevention means 70 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 11.
FIG. 7 shows the state of the blank hit prevention means 70 when at least one product 12 remains on the turntable 60. As shown in FIG. 7, the tip portion 73 of the lock arm 71 abuts on the side portion of the product 12 and retracts, and is not engaged with the turntable 60. Therefore, the turntable 60 is rotatable.

When the handle 18 (see FIG. 1) is rotated by the purchaser, the turntable 60 rotates to move the product 12 to the discharge hole 52, as shown in FIG. At this time, the tip portion 73 of the lock arm 71 slightly retracts from the product holding portion 63 in the direction indicated by the arrow (2), but rotates the turntable 60 while elastically contacting the peripheral wall 65 of the turntable 60. Continue to tolerate. At the same time, the protrusion 76 of the lock arm 71 moves in the direction indicated by the arrow (3), but since it moves along the long hole 83a for rotating the arm, the first member 81 does not rotate, and the link mechanism 80 does not rotate. Does not affect. Therefore, the sold-out display unit 100 rotates backward and upward, and the rotating unit 102 is also retracted inside the transparent cover 42.

Then, when the waiting products 12 are sequentially paid out and the last product 12 moves to the discharge hole 52, as shown in FIG. 9, the tip portion 73 of the lock arm 71 is subjected to the product by the elastic force of the tension coil spring 93. It penetrates deeply into the holding portion 63 and engages with the edge of the notch 66 (arrow (4)). As a result, the turntable 60 becomes non-rotatable.

As the lock arm 71 rotates, the protrusion 76 shifts to the elongated hole 83b for dropping the display portion, so that the first member 81 can rotate in the direction indicated by the arrow (5). As a result, the link mechanism 80 and the sold-out display unit 100 are released from the restraint by the lock arm 71. As a result, the sold-out display unit 100 rotates by its own weight in the direction indicated by the arrow (6), and the link mechanism 80 also follows the operation of the sold-out display unit 100.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the front portion of the rotating portion 102 protrudes from the insertion port 43 of the transparent cover 42, covers the front side of the coin insertion port 17, and the display surface 103 faces the front surface of the device. At this time, since the third member 88 also rotates, the tension coil spring 93 extends. As a result, the rotation speed of the third member 88 is suppressed, so that the rotation of the sold-out display unit 100 is also braked. By braking the rotation of the sold-out display unit 100, the contact between the sold-out display unit 100 and the transparent cover 42 or the like is alleviated.

When the empty container 50 is replenished with the product 12 and the sale is resumed, the lock arm 71 is returned to the retracted position (the position of the lock arm 71 shown in FIG. 7), and then the product holding unit 63 is used. Put the product 12. By returning the lock arm 71 to the retracted position, the third member 88 is rotated via the first member 81 and the second member 86, and the sold-out display unit 100 is pulled up. As a result, the sold-out display unit 100 retracts from the front side of the coin insertion slot 17 and returns to the inside of the transparent cover 42.

According to the manual product sales device 10 described above, when the product 12 is not in the product holding unit 63, the lock arm 71 prevents the turntable 60 from rotating, and as a result, the handle 18 cannot be operated. Can be. Therefore, even if the purchaser mistakenly inserts a coin, the handle 18 does not rotate, so that the coin can be prevented from falling into the collection box.

Further, when the product 12 is in the product holding portion 63, the lock arm 71 comes into contact with the side portion of the product 12 to allow the turntable 60 to rotate, so that the product 12 can be reliably secured regardless of the mass of the product 12. Can be sold to. That is, in contrast to the conventional technique of detecting the presence or absence of a product by the mass of the product, in the embodiment, the presence or absence of the product 12 is detected by the size (outer diameter dimension, etc.) of the product 12. Therefore, even a light product 12 can be sold without any problem, and the elastic force of the tension coil spring 75 can be set relatively easily.

When the product 12 is not in the product holding unit 63, the sold-out display unit 100 covers the front side of the coin insertion slot 17 and displays the sold-out state. Therefore, when the purchaser inserts coins into the coin insertion slot 17. In addition, since the purchaser can be made aware that the product is sold out, it is possible to prevent double hitting in combination with the action of the lock arm 71.

Although the present invention has been described above using the embodiments, it goes without saying that the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the scope described in the above embodiments. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes or improvements can be made to the above embodiments. Further, it is clear from the description of the scope of claims that the form to which such a modification or improvement is added may be included in the technical scope of the present invention.
