A support member, a locking portion for rotating the free end upward with the pivot portion of the mounting shelf as a fulcrum and locking and holding the mounting shelf at a storage position along the front surface of the product storage shelf; At the position where the free end is extended forward and the free end of the support member is locked to the front of the product storage shelf below the pivot portion of the mounting shelf, the mounting shelf is in a state in which the product can be mounted so as to be able to be mounted. 1 shows a placing shelf device of a vending machine including a placing shelf and a regulating portion that locks and holds a supporting member at a predetermined angle.

[0003]

The prior art described above is
When the stand frame is set in a horizontal state during use, the lower end of the stay is simply hooked into the locking groove of the frame base, so the lower end of the stay is likely to come off due to impact or the like. There was a problem.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and provides a loading stand device for a vending machine for the purpose of easily setting and folding a stand frame by one-touch operation. is there.

[0005]

As a means for achieving the above object, there is provided a vending machine for loading a product into a product storage shelf of a product conveying device installed on a frame base.
In the loading stand device, a front end portion is engaged with a channel member forming a frame of the product conveying device, and a stand frame having a notch, and a stand frame is pivotally mounted on the stand frame, and a lowermost end pivots on the frame base. An automatic vending machine comprising a stay which can be freely attached, the stay comprising a plurality of stay portions rotatably supported by a shaft, and a spring member for suppressing the rotation of the stay portion. A loading stand device for the machine.

[0006]

According to the loading stand device of the vending machine of the present invention, the stay supporting the stand frame of the loading stand is divided into a plurality of parts, and the divided parts are rotatably connected by a shaft. Then, a spring member is provided on this shaft. As a result, when used, the device is securely supported by preventing it from falling backward, acts to receive its own weight when stored, and suppresses the impact during storage. As described above, when using the loading stand device, it is only necessary to raise the stand frame, and when storing, the shaft portion of the stay may be pushed to release the restraint by the spring member.

[0007]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 5 shows an overall appearance of a vending machine 1 according to the present invention.
Purchase button 2, return button 3, coin and bill slot 4,
5, a money return port 6 and a product outlet 7 are arranged below. In addition, as a commodity sold by this vending machine, for example, a large heavy commodity 8 such as a bag containing rice packed with 10 kg is exemplified.

9 shows a frame carrier 10 framed in the form of a box by a product conveying device, and a pair of left and right channels opposed to each other are provided at the center on both left and right sides of the frame carrier 10. The member 11 is provided so as to hang vertically. A pair of upper and lower rotating shafts 12 are provided so as to be rotatable horizontally at upper and lower positions between the channel members 11, and a pair of left and right sprockets 13 and 14 are provided at both left and right ends of each of the rotating shafts 12. Each is provided. These upper and lower sprockets 13, 14
A pair of left and right chain belts 15 are wound endlessly between them. Each of the chain belts 15 is rotated by driving the upper sprocket 13 via a drive motor 16, a timing belt 17 and a gear 18. Is controlled so as to be able to intermittently rotate synchronously at the pitch of. Further, in the circumferential direction between the pair of left and right chain belts 15, a plurality of product storage shelves 19 are laid in a gondola shape at a predetermined interval. Each of these product storage shelves 19 has a box-shaped structure in which the outer end face 19A is opened as a product push-in port, and is attached between the pair of left and right chain belts 15 using the inner end face 19B as an attachment part. ing. In addition, a loading stand device 20 as an auxiliary shelf is provided at a lower rear portion of the product transport device 9 in order to put the product 8 into the product storage shelf 19. In this case, the product 8 is inserted so as to be pushed in from the outer end face portion 19A.

Next, the main parts of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
This will be described with reference to FIG. The loading stand device 2
Reference numeral 0 denotes a stand frame 21 serving as a base thereof, and an upper stay 28 and a lower stay
It is divided into two parts 29 and is rotatably mounted on a shaft 27, so that it comprises a foldable stay 22.

The stand frame 21 includes a front end 21
A is formed like an L-shaped claw, and this front end portion 21A is inserted into a square hole 24 formed in the channel member 11 and, in a horizontal state, at the lowermost rear portion of the product transport device 9 The product storage shelf 19 is positioned at substantially the same height and parallel to the bottom of the product storage shelf 19. The front end 21A of the stand frame 21
Are provided with a projection 25 and a locking jaw 26 at the upper and lower portions, and the locking jaw 26 is formed with a notch, and can be locked in a square hole 24 formed in the channel member 11.
Prevents rearward withdrawal in a horizontal state.

The upper end 22A of the stay 22 is
A shaft 27 is attached to the rear end 21B of the stand frame 21.
In addition to being rotatably mounted on the shaft 27, as described above, the shaft 27 is rotatably connected to the vicinity of the central portion by the shaft 27.
, A coil-shaped spring member 30 is attached so as to suppress the rotation of the upper stay portion 28 and the lower stay portion 29. Further, a lower end 22B of the stay 22 is rotatably attached to a lower portion of the frame base 10 by a hinge 31.

Also, the loading stand device 20
The loading plate 23 is provided at the upper rear half of the stand frame 21 as a guide for putting the product 8 into the product storage shelf 19 of the product transport device 9. Further, in the drawing, reference numeral 32 denotes a guide plate provided at the front end 23A of the loading plate 23 so as to always maintain a rising state by the urging force of a spring member 30 such as a spring (not shown). This guide plate 32
The gap formed between the product storage shelf 19 and the loading plate 23 is bridged to prevent the easily deformable product 8 such as a bag with rice from dropping into the gap. .

With the above construction, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the stand frame 21 is locked downward from the horizontal state with the corner edge of the locking jaw 26 locking the square hole 24 as a fulcrum. By rotating, the stand frame 21 is rotated.
In the vertical direction. The stay 22 for supporting the stand frame 21 is composed of the two stay portions 28 and 29 as described above. When the stand frame 21 is in use, as shown in FIG. By pulling up to the position, the stay portions 28 and 29 are brought into a substantially linear state, and the stand frame 21 is supported. At the same time, the spring member 30 prevents the stay 22 from rotating, thereby preventing reverse fall. Further, at the time of storage, as shown in FIG. 2, the connecting portion of the stay portions 28 and 29 is pushed inward to bring the stay 22 into a folded state, whereby the stored state is achieved by its own weight. At the same time, the spring member 30 acts so as to receive its own weight of the loading stand device 20, so that the shock at the time of storage is reduced. As described above, setting and folding can be easily performed by one-touch operation.

[0015]

According to the present invention described above, the stand frame can be brought into use by raising the stand frame to a predetermined position by a human hand during use, and the connecting portion of the stay can be moved inward during storage. By simply pressing the button, the storage state can be achieved. Thus, setting and folding can be easily performed by one-touch operation.
