Description
【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、発電機能を有する自動販売機に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
大規模の災害等が発生し、水道、電力網等のライフラインが停止した場合、水などの飲料の供給が課題となるが、特に飲料商品を扱う自動販売機は元々水などの飲料を貯蔵しており、また街頭に数多く設置されているから、自動販売機の電力供給の点を解決すれば飲料供給の役割を果たすことができる。この点は自動販売機に蓄電池を備えれば可能であるが、単純に商用電源相当分を蓄電池で補うとすると、大形の蓄電池が必要となり現実的ではない。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の課題は、災害等が発生したとき、電力網が使用できない場合でも自動販売機内に貯蔵されている水、各種の飲料を利用し得るような自動販売機を提供することにある。
【０００４】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上述の課題を解決するため、本発明によれば、手動式発電機と、手動式発電機により蓄電される蓄電装置とを備え、自動販売機に常時接続される商用電源と蓄電装置との間に切換装置を挿入し、自動販売機に対する給電を常時接続されている商用電源と蓄電装置との間で切換え得るようにする。
【０００５】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明においては、通常時は商用電源で自動販売機を動作させ、災害等が生じて商用電源が使用できなくなったときには、手動発電機を操作して蓄電装置に充電し、蓄電量が商品の搬出動作に必要な電力の所定値以上になったとき切換装置により自動販売機の給電源を商用電源から蓄電装置に自動的に切り換え得るようにする。
【０００６】
また、災害時のみではなく、商用電源が健全なときでも手動発電機を操作して蓄電装置に充電させ、蓄電量が商品の搬出動作に必要な電力の所定値以上になったとき切換装置により自動販売機の給電源を商用電源から蓄電装置に自動的に切り換えると共に、蓄電に対する対価として商品の割引機能を働かせるようにすることもできる。
【０００７】
蓄電装置としては、通常の蓄電池や大容量コンデンサを使用することができる。
【０００８】
蓄電装置で給電すべき機器は、自動販売機に内蔵される機器の内、消費電力の大きいもの、例えば冷却装置やヒータを除く機器とすることができる。
【０００９】
【実施例】
次に本発明の実施例を図面について説明する。
【００１０】
図１は本発明の一実施例の系統構成図で、１は自動販売機の種々の情報を表示するための表示装置、２は照明装置、３はコイン・紙幣機構、４は自動販売機制御部、５は商品搬出駆動機構、６は冷却装置、７は加熱装置、８は手動発電機、９は蓄電池、１０は電力検出器、１１は切換装置、１２は電源用変換器、１３は商用電源である。この実施例においては通常時、即ち災害がなく正常に電力が商用電力網から供給されている状態では、切換装置１１が商用電源１３側に投入され、上述の表示装置１、照明装置２、コイン・紙幣機構３、自動販売機制御部４、商品搬出駆動機構５、冷却装置６、加熱装置７の各機器は商用電源１３から給電されている。今災害が生じ商用電源１３がダウンし、もはや商用電源１３からは給電が不可能になったとする。この状態で手動発電機８の手動ハンドル８１を廻すと発電し、蓄電池９は充電され、蓄電池９の蓄電量は電力検出器１０により検出される。手動ハンドル８１をある程度以上廻すと、少なくとも表示装置１、照明装置２、コイン・紙幣機構３、自動販売機制御部４、商品搬出駆動機構５を動作させ得るだけの電力が蓄電池９に蓄電される。電力検出器１０の検出値が所定値以上になると切換装置１１が動作し、給電源は商用電源１３より蓄電池９側に切り換わり、蓄電池９より電源用変換器１２に給電され、蓄電池９よりの直流を適切な形の交流、直流に変換して表示装置１、照明装置２、コイン・紙幣機構３、自動販売機制御部４、商品搬出駆動機構５に給電可能となり、自動販売機内に含まれる飲料等の商品は冷却或いは加熱されないが販売可能となり、災害時の飲料として提供可能となる。
【００１１】
商用電源１３が正常な状態において、もし利用者が手動発電機８の手動ハンドル８１を廻し、予め定められた値以上の充電を行うと、その充電量が電力検出器１０により検出され自動販売機制御部４に所定の値の充電があったという信号が信号線１４により送られる。この信号により自動販売機制御部４内に設けられている商品割引機能が作動し、例えば商品１個に対し１０円を返却するようにコイン・紙幣機構３が駆動される。
【００１２】
【発明の効果】
本発明によれば、自動販売機に蓄電装置を搭載し、この蓄電装置を手動式の発電機でもって随時充電することにより、災害時はもとより、電源が正常な場合にも蓄電装置の蓄電電力を利用して商品の販売を行うことができ、災害時に飲料供給の役割を果たすことができると共に、利用者は自ら発電機を操作することによって商品の割引サービスを受けることができるから購入意欲が高まるという効果を得ることができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a vending machine having a power generation function.
[0002]
[Prior art]
When a large-scale disaster occurs and lifelines such as water supply and power supply systems are stopped, the supply of beverages such as water becomes an issue, but vending machines that handle beverage products originally store beverages such as water In addition, since many are installed on the streets, it can serve as a beverage supply by solving the power supply point of vending machines. This point is possible if the vending machine is equipped with a storage battery, but if a battery corresponding to a commercial power supply is simply supplemented with a storage battery, a large storage battery is required, which is not practical.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The subject of this invention is providing the vending machine which can utilize the water stored in a vending machine, and various drinks, even when a disaster etc. generate | occur | produce, even when an electric power network cannot be used.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-described problem, according to the present invention, a manual power generator and a power storage device that is charged by the manual power generator are provided, and a commercial power source and a power storage device that are always connected to the vending machine are provided. A switching device is inserted into the power supply so that the power supply to the vending machine can be switched between the commercial power supply and the power storage device that are always connected .
[0005]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In the present invention, the vending machine is normally operated with a commercial power source, and when the commercial power source cannot be used due to a disaster or the like, the manual power generator is operated to charge the power storage device. When the power required for the carry-out operation exceeds a predetermined value, the switching device can automatically switch the power supply of the vending machine from the commercial power supply to the power storage device.
[0006]
Moreover, not only at the time of disaster, but also when the commercial power source is healthy, the manual generator is operated to charge the power storage device, and when the amount of power storage exceeds the predetermined value of the power required for carrying out the product, the switching device The power supply of the vending machine can be automatically switched from a commercial power supply to a power storage device, and a product discount function can be used as a price for power storage.
[0007]
As the power storage device, a normal storage battery or a large-capacity capacitor can be used.
[0008]
The device to be supplied with power by the power storage device can be a device that consumes a large amount of power among devices built in the vending machine, for example, a device that excludes a cooling device or a heater.
[0009]
