BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a door structure of an automatic vending machine, and more particularly to an automatic vending machine having a commodity loading portion on its upper portion.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 2, the door of a conventional vending machine is usually an outer door 1 equipped with a product sample, a signboard, a money sorting mechanism, a control unit, etc. Door 2
The inner door 2 is used for keeping the product storage 3 surrounded by a heat insulating material and keeping the inside cold.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] When filling a product into such a vending machine, first open a large outer door covering the entire vending machine, and then open the inner door 2 for the inside of the warehouse. Filling from the inlet 4, but the work of opening and closing two fairly large doors is troublesome, and the inner door 2 must be fully opened even though the inlet required for filling is a part of the upper part. In addition, it hinders the effect of keeping the inside cold and warm, and with vending machines that are installed facing the road, it is difficult to do the filling work with the door open, which is especially difficult for traffic. This problem cannot be ignored at the present when vending machines are becoming larger.

The object of the present invention is to automatically open and close the door when filling the product, and even if the door is opened, it does not affect the cold and heat retaining effect in the refrigerator and the product filling operation does not hinder the passage. To get the door structure of the vending machine.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] To achieve the above object, the present invention is an automatic vending machine equipped with a product slot at the top of the main body, which includes an outer door and a heat-insulating inner door provided on the front surface of the main body. , Each of which is divided into an upper door portion that covers the product insertion port and a lower door portion that covers the remaining surface area, and a product sample display section is provided on the lower outer door portion of the outer door, and The outer door portion and the upper inner door portion of the inner door are provided so as to open upward with respect to the main body.

[0006]

In the present invention, by opening only the small upper outer door portion and the upper inner door portion that cover the product input port portion upward, only the product input port is opened and the product can be filled. Therefore, the door opening operation at the time of product filling is easy, and the effect of keeping cold and warm in the refrigerator is not impaired. Moreover, since the upper and outer door portions and the upper and inner door portions are of the upper opening type and can be opened above the main body, there is no obstruction to traffic in front of the vending machine. Further, since the display portion of the product sample is provided in the lower outer door portion, the upper outer door portion can be downsized with the same size as the upper inner door portion, and the opening operation can be further facilitated.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
Reference numeral 10 is a main body of the vending machine, 11 is a product storage surrounded by a heat insulating material, 12 is a product insertion opening provided on the upper part of the product storage 11, 13 is a product insertion opening facing the product insertion opening 12
A loading door that is arranged so as to cover only two parts and that can be opened and closed by a hinge mechanism 14 so that it can be opened and closed in this case. In this case, a heat insulating material is provided on the rear surface of the upper outer door portion 13a provided with a signboard 16 as a vending machine on the front side. The upper inner door portion 13b consisting of is attached.

Below the loading door 13, the main body 10 is provided.
In addition, a lower outer door portion 17 and a lower inner door portion 22 that cover the remaining surface area covered with the loading door 13 are provided for the product storage 11 respectively. Of these, the lower outer door portion 17 is provided with a sample product 18, a push button 19, a coin slot 20, a product outlet 21 and the like on the front side, and although not shown inside, a coin mech, a control unit, etc. Is equipped with. Further, the lower inner door portion 22 is formed of a heat insulating material, and keeps the inside of the refrigerator cold and warm together with the upper inner door portion 13b.

Here, as described above, the upper outer door portion 13a
A signboard 16 as a vending machine is installed in the
Since the display section of is disposed toward the lower outer door portion 17, the upper outer door portion 13a can be made substantially the same size as the upper inner door portion 13b and can be made compact, and the loading door 13 can be opened easily. . . Now, the loading door 13 is normally pulled down and closed, and the product inlet 12 is closed by the upper inner door portion 13b of the loading door 13. When the product is to be filled, when the small loading door 13 is lifted upward, the hinge mechanism 14 easily opens the product loading port 12 to open the product loading port 12. Cans) can be filled. Further, as in this embodiment, the upper outer door portion 13a and the upper inner door portion 13 are
By integrating with b, it can be opened with one touch. In this case, since the upper and outer door portions 13a and 13b of the loading doors 13 which are integrated with each other are of the upper opening type, they are located above the main body when opened.
It does not stick out into the traffic space on the sidewalk in front of the vending machine, and does not interfere with traffic during product filling. Further, when loading the products, the loading door 13 can be opened while the lower outer door portion 17 and the lower inner door portion 22 are closed, so that the communication between the inside of the product storage and the outside world is kept to the minimum necessary at the product insertion port 14 portion. be able to. Further, when there is a trouble during product filling and the inside of the product storage is inspected, the lower outer door portion 17 and the lower inner door portion 22 can be opened regardless of the loading door.

When it is necessary to carry out management and maintenance other than product filling, such as collection of money from a coin mech and data processing of the control unit, it suffices to open the lower outer door portion 17, at which time the loading door 13 is opened and closed. Since it is not necessary, the product insertion port 12 will not be opened. The product sales function is the same as the conventional one.

[0011]

According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. (1) The outer and inner doors of a conventional vending machine are divided into two parts, the upper and lower doors and the upper and inner doors are placed in the upper product. Since the size can cover the mouth, it is easy to open and close the small door when filling products. (2) Since only the product inlet is exposed to the outside when the product is filled, it does not affect the effect of keeping cold and warm inside the storage. (3) When the product is filled, it only opens the upper and outer door parts and the inner door part upward, so there is no obstruction to traffic.
