従来のこのような自動販売機としては、例えば特開２００１−７６２２６号公報に記載されるようなものが知られている。この自動販売機の本体内には、断熱性を有する商品収納庫が設けられている。そして、この商品収納庫内には、複数の商品収納ラックがほぼ水平な姿勢で上下左右方向に複数配設されており、これらの商品収納ラック内には多数の商品が前後方向に並べて収納されている。また、各商品収納ラックは収納した商品を前端から１つずつ前方に払い出すための商品払出機構を備えている。また、商品収納庫内には、商品収納ラックに収納された商品を冷却または加温する冷却加温装置が設けられている。
ところで、この商品収納ラックは、図４に示すように矩形の平面部を有する棚板（商品棚）３５と、この棚板３５の平面部上に着脱自在に取り付けられ、棚板３５の平面部上を左右方向に仕切る仕切壁３６等から形成されている。さらに詳細には、棚板３５の平面部上に隣接して設けられ、その平面部上を左右方向に仕切る一対の仕切壁３６間には、前後方向に延びる商品通路６ａが画成されており、この商品通路６ａの前端は、商品を払い出すための開口した払出口が形成され、これらにより商品収納ラック６が平面部上に左右方向に複数並んで構成されている。そして、各商品収納ラック６の商品通路６ａには、同一品目の商品が前後方向に並んで複数収納される。また、仕切壁３６には商品通路６ａに突出してプッシャ３７が設けられている。このプッシャ３７は前後方向に移動自在に備えられ、商品通路６ａ内の商品を前方に押圧することにより、最前位置の商品を１個毎に払出口から前方に払い出す。
As such conventional vending machines, for example, those described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-76226 are known. In the main body of this vending machine, a product storage with heat insulation is provided. In the product storage, a plurality of product storage racks are arranged in a vertical direction in a substantially horizontal posture, and a large number of products are stored side by side in the product storage racks. ing. Each merchandise storage rack includes a merchandise dispensing mechanism for dispensing the stored merchandise one by one from the front end. In addition, a cooling and heating device that cools or heats the products stored in the product storage rack is provided in the product storage.
By the way, as shown in FIG. 4, the product storage rack is detachably attached to a shelf board (product shelf) 35 having a rectangular plane portion and the plane portion of the shelf board 35. It is formed from a partition wall 36 or the like that partitions the top in the left-right direction. More specifically, a product passage 6a extending in the front-rear direction is defined between a pair of partition walls 36 that are provided adjacent to each other on the plane portion of the shelf board 35 and partition the plane portion in the left-right direction. The front end of the product passage 6a is formed with an open payout opening for paying out the product, and thereby a plurality of product storage racks 6 are arranged in the left-right direction on the flat portion. A plurality of products of the same item are stored in the product passage 6a of each product storage rack 6 side by side in the front-rear direction. Further, a pusher 37 is provided on the partition wall 36 so as to protrude into the product passage 6a. The pusher 37 is provided so as to be movable in the front-rear direction, and pushes the product in the product passage 6a forward, thereby paying out the products at the forefront position forward from the payout opening one by one.
ここで、この商品収納ラック６を形成する棚板３５は、単一の鋼板を曲げ加工することにより作製され、商品通路６ａの底部を構成する平らな底壁３５ａ（矩形の平面部）と、底壁３５ａの左右端からそれぞれ上方に延びる左右の側壁３５ｂと、底壁３５ａの後端から上方に延びる後壁３５ｃを備えている。
そして、これらの商品収納ラック６の前方には、図示しないが、商品収納ラック６から払い出された商品を、本体外部に開口する商品取出口まで搬送する商品搬出装置が設けられている。
In front of these product storage racks 6, there is provided a product delivery device (not shown) for transporting products delivered from the product storage rack 6 to a product take-out opening that opens to the outside of the main body.
ところで、このような従来の自動販売機において、商品収納ラック６を平面部上に設ける棚板３５は単一の鋼板を曲げ加工することにより作製されるため、棚板３５の一部分のみに高い強度が必要である場合にも全体の板厚を上げて棚板を製作し、その強度に対応する必要がある。このため棚板３５の材料コストが上昇する問題が生じる。
さらに、商品収納ラック６に商品を収納する場合は、棚板３５と共に商品収納ラック６を商品収納庫の前方に引出すが、棚板３５の板厚を厚くするとその重量が重くなり、その庫内からの引出しや庫内への押し込み操作が行い難くなる問題がある。
また、棚板３５上に形成される商品収納ラック６に収納される商品を効果的に冷却または加温するため、棚板３５の平面部には冷気または暖気が貫通する通気穴（図示なし）を設ける必要がある。しかしながら、この通気穴を大きく形成すると棚板３５の強度が低下してしまうため、この通気穴は小さく、かつ多数に分散して形成する必要がある。このため、棚板３５の加工コストが高くなる問題がある。
By the way, in such a conventional vending machine, the shelf board 35 provided with the product storage rack 6 on the flat surface is produced by bending a single steel plate, so that only a part of the shelf board 35 has high strength. However, even if it is necessary, it is necessary to increase the overall thickness to produce a shelf board and to cope with its strength. For this reason, the problem that the material cost of the shelf board 35 rises arises.
Furthermore, when storing the product in the product storage rack 6, the product storage rack 6 is pulled out together with the shelf plate 35 to the front of the product storage case. However, if the thickness of the shelf plate 35 is increased, the weight of the product storage rack 6 increases. There is a problem that it becomes difficult to perform a drawer operation or a pushing operation into the cabinet.
In addition, in order to effectively cool or warm the product stored in the product storage rack 6 formed on the shelf board 35, a ventilation hole (not shown) through which cool air or warm air passes is formed in the flat portion of the shelf board 35. It is necessary to provide. However, if this vent hole is formed large, the strength of the shelf board 35 is reduced, so that the vent hole must be formed in a small and distributed manner. For this reason, there exists a problem which the processing cost of the shelf board 35 becomes high.
本発明は、このような問題に対して、棚板の一部に高い強度が必要な場合でも、部材全体の板厚の増加や重量の増加を抑制し、不必要な材料コストの上昇や操作性の低下を防止し、また、棚板の強度を低下させることなく冷気または暖気の通気穴を容易に形成し、商品収納ラックに収納される商品を効果的に冷却または加温することができる自動販売機を提供することを目的とするものである。 In order to solve such problems, the present invention suppresses an increase in the plate thickness and weight of the entire member even when a part of the shelf plate requires a high strength, and an unnecessary increase in material cost and operation. It is possible to easily form a cold or warm air vent hole without reducing the strength of the shelf board and effectively cool or warm the product stored in the product storage rack. The purpose is to provide a vending machine.
