[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vending machine provided with a direct-loading type product discharging device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A rear end of a lowermost product of a group of products directly stacked in a product stacking path is pushed out by a front end of a pusher driven in a linear reciprocating manner to carry out the product from a lower end opening of the product stacking path. The direct-loading type product carrying device is used in vending machines such as tobacco products.

[0003] As shown in FIG. 3, an outer casing 1 of a vending machine is configured by closing a front opening 3 of a vending machine main body 2 with a front door 4. The direct-stacking type product unloading device 6a is installed. In order to increase the number of stored products, a second
Is provided with a direct-loading type product carrying device 6b.

[0004] In the first direct-stacking type product unloading device 6a, the pusher 7 is moved to the imaginary line position and the extruded product 8 is moved.
Is dispensed downward through a chute 9 attached to the back surface of the front door 4 and is provided directly or via a conveyor with an elevator (not shown) at a position facing the product outlet of the front door 4. Sent to the payout station.

[0005] The same applies to the case of the second straight loading type items out device 6b, the second product ₈₂ drop product 8 which is carried out by releasing the support of the product ₈₁ of the lowermost while regulating It is paid out downward through the chute 9 and sent to a payout station provided at a position facing the product outlet of the front door 4 directly or via a transport device (not shown) with an elevator.

However, the first direct-stacking type product unloading device 6a
Although the products are stacked horizontally, the products are stacked vertically in the second directly-stackable product unloading device 6b.
A large number of products cannot be accommodated in the direct-loading type product carrying device 6b.

Therefore, it is conceivable that the second direct stacking type product unloading device 6b is stacked horizontally so that the pusher 7 is pushed out in the short side direction of the product as shown in FIG.

[0008]

In such a conventional structure, as shown in FIG. 5, a second direct stacking type product unloading device 6 is used.
When the product is carried out after the pusher 7a moves to the position of the imaginary line, the product is paid out via the chute 9 as shown by the broken line in normal operation, but sometimes the product 8 as shown by the imaginary line.
_{In the case of 0,} there is a problem that the product is jammed in the constricted portion 10 of the chute 9 and the product cannot be paid out to the product outlet.

The present invention is directed to a second direct-stacking type product unloading device 6b.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a vending machine with a direct-loading-type product discharging device that can surely pass a product delivered from a vehicular through a chute.

[0010]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a vending machine with a direct-loading-type product unloading device, wherein a front opening of a vending machine main body is closed by a front door, and a vending machine main body is provided inside the vending machine main body. 1
Is disposed on the back of the front door, and the second direct-loading type product unloading device is disposed on the back side of the front door, and is pushed out from the first and second direct-loading type product discharging devices by a pusher. In a vending machine for dispensing goods taken out through a chute attached to the back surface of the front door, a flap whose upper end is pivotally supported so that the lower end swings at an entrance of the chute.
And the mounting position of the flap is
Products pushed out by pushers from the stackable product unloading device
From the tip of the product and the second direct loading type product unloading device
The tip of the product extruded by the flap contacts the bottom of the flap
It is characterized in that it is set at a position where the end swings .

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a vending machine with a direct-loading type product discharging device, wherein a flap is formed by suspending a flexible sheet at an entrance of a chute.

[0012]

According to the first and second aspects of the present invention, the product discharged from the direct-stacking type product discharging device is brought into contact with the flapper, the tip thereof is changed in a downward direction, and passes through the constricted portion of the chute.

[0013]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. Note that components having the same functions as those in FIGS. 3 to 5 showing the conventional example are denoted by the same reference numerals.

The vending machine of the present invention is configured as shown in FIG. First and second direct-loading-type product unloading devices 6
A flap 11 is attached to the entrance of the chute 9 for guiding the goods carried out from the a and 6b.

[0015] Flap 11 is the upper end to the lower end in contact with the product to be pushed out by the pusher 7 oscillates is pivotally supported by a shaft 12. Push from the first direct-loading type product unloading device 6a
The tip of the product 8 extruded by the flap 7 is attached to the flap 11
Then, the flap 11 rotates from the solid line position shown in FIG. 2 to the virtual line position . As a result, the first direct-loading type product unloading device 6
The product 8 paid out from a has its tip facing downward.
Corrected and passed through the constriction 10 of the chute 9
Be sent out. Push from the second straight stacked-type items out device 6b
The tip of the product 8 extruded by the shear 7 hits the flap 11
The flap 11 is rotated from the solid line position to the virtual line position shown in FIG. 1, and the flap 11 is sent to the constricted portion 10 of the chute 9 with the posture of the product facing downward to eliminate the product clogging in the constricted portion 10. doing.

In the above embodiment, the flap 11 is a metal plate or a synthetic resin plate pivotally supported by the shaft 12. However, the same effect can be obtained even if the flap 11 is formed by suspending a flexible sheet. Can be expected.

[0017]

[Effects of the Invention] According to the configuration described in each claim, automatic vending
The first direct-loading type product unloading device is installed inside the vending machine
A second direct stacking type product unloading device is located on the back of the front door.
From the first and second direct-stacking type product unloading devices
The product pushed out and carried out by the
Vending machine to pay out via the chute attached to
In addition, the entrance of the chute has a first
