Japanese Patent No. 3203134

ところで、前記商品搬出扉１１にあっては庫内から商品取出口９に送出される商品によって押し開かれるように構成されていることから商品と接触する内壁面は商品との摩擦抵抗が小さくなるように鏡面として形成されている。ところが、商品補充などにより断熱内扉１０を解放した際、庫内を冷却してコールド商品として販売する商品収納室に侵入する外気により室内に結露が生じ、商品収納ラックＲに収容された商品に水滴が付着することがあり、このため商品収納ラックＲから払出された商品に前記結露による水滴が付着している場合、当該商品により押し開かれる商品搬出扉１１の内壁面に水滴が付着してしまうことがある。このように水滴が付着した商品搬出扉１１の内壁面に商品が当接すると商品搬出扉１１の内壁面に商品が密着してしまう。商品の重さが比較的重い場合には商品搬出扉１１の内壁面に水滴が付着していても商品は商品搬出扉１１の内壁面に密着することなく商品搬出扉１１を押し開いて滑落するが、軽量の商品では商品が商品搬出扉１１の内壁面に密着することから商品搬出扉１１を押し開くことができずに商品詰まりを惹起するおそれがある。また、角を有する多面体形状の紙パック飲料においては多面体の角が平面状に潰れてしまうことがあり、その平面状部が商品搬出扉１１の内壁面に当接すると摩擦抵抗が大きくなるとともに、商品搬出扉１１の内壁面に水滴が付着している場合には商品搬出扉の内壁面に商品が張り付いて商品詰まりを起すおそれがある。   By the way, since the product carry-out door 11 is configured to be pushed open by the product sent from the interior to the product take-out port 9, the inner wall surface in contact with the product has a low frictional resistance with the product. It is formed as a mirror surface. However, when the heat-insulated inner door 10 is released by refilling the product or the like, condensation is generated in the room due to the outside air entering the product storage room that cools the interior and sells it as a cold product, and the product stored in the product storage rack R When water drops due to condensation are attached to the product delivered from the product storage rack R, water drops may adhere to the inner wall surface of the product carry-out door 11 pushed open by the product. May end up. When the product comes into contact with the inner wall surface of the product carry-out door 11 to which water droplets adhere as described above, the product comes into close contact with the inner wall surface of the product carry-out door 11. When the weight of the product is relatively heavy, the product pushes open the product carry-out door 11 and slides down without adhering to the inner wall surface of the product carry-out door 11 even if water droplets adhere to the inner wall surface of the product carry-out door 11. However, in the case of a light product, the product comes into close contact with the inner wall surface of the product carry-out door 11, so that the product carry-out door 11 cannot be pushed open and there is a risk of causing a product jam. In addition, in the polyhedral paper pack beverage having corners, the corners of the polyhedron may be flattened, and when the planar portion abuts against the inner wall surface of the product carry-out door 11, the frictional resistance increases, When water droplets adhere to the inner wall surface of the product carry-out door 11, the product may stick to the inner wall surface of the product carry-out door and cause a product jam.

そこで、本発明は上記の点に鑑みなされたものであり、庫内から搬出される商品を確実に商品取出口に送出することが可能な自動販売機の商品搬出扉を提供することを目的とする。   Then, this invention is made in view of said point, and it aims at providing the goods delivery door of the vending machine which can send out the goods carried out from the inside of a warehouse reliably to a goods outlet. To do.

上記目的を達成するために本発明は、断熱筐体として形成された本体キャビネットの商品収納庫を閉塞する断熱内扉および前記本体キャビネットの前面を閉塞する外扉を備え、前記断熱内扉に形成され、庫内と外扉の商品取出口とを連係する商品搬出口に商品搬出扉を設けたものにおいて、前記庫内から搬出される商品と当接する商品搬出扉における内壁面を梨地状に形成したことを特徴とする（請求項１）。   In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a heat insulating inner door that closes a commodity storage of a main body cabinet formed as a heat insulating housing, and an outer door that closes the front surface of the main body cabinet, and is formed in the heat insulating inner door. In the case where a product delivery door is provided at the product delivery port that links the interior and the product exit of the outer door, the inner wall surface of the product delivery door that comes into contact with the product delivered from the interior is formed in a matte shape (Claim 1).

この場合、商品搬出口の内壁面に直接梨地を形成することができ（請求項２）、また、表面が梨地状に形成された部材を商品搬出口の内壁面に取付けることもできる（請求項３）。   In this case, the matte can be directly formed on the inner wall surface of the product carry-out port (Claim 2), and a member whose surface is formed into a satin finish can be attached to the inner wall surface of the product carry-out port (Claim). 3).

本発明の請求項１に記載した自動販売機の商品搬出扉によれば、庫内から搬出される商品と当接する商品搬出扉における内壁面を梨地状に形成したことにより鏡面仕上げされた内壁面に対して商品との接触面積が小さくなることからその分だけ摩擦抵抗が小さくなる。また、商品搬出扉における内壁面が梨地状に形成されていることから当該内壁面の表面積が大きくなり、商品搬出扉の内壁面に水滴が付着した場合にもその水滴の大部分は梨地状の凹面に付着し、商品との接触点となる梨地状の凸部に付着する水滴は僅かなものとなることから当該水滴によって商品が商品搬出扉の内壁面に張り付くことがない。よって、軽量な商品であっても、また、多面体形状の紙パック飲料であっても確実に商品取出口に送出することができるという効果を有する。   According to the product carry-out door of the vending machine described in claim 1 of the present invention, the inner wall surface that is mirror-finished by forming the inner wall surface of the product carry-out door in contact with the product carried out from the warehouse in a matte shape On the other hand, since the contact area with the product is reduced, the frictional resistance is reduced accordingly. In addition, since the inner wall surface of the product carry-out door is formed in a satin-like shape, the surface area of the inner wall surface is increased, and even when water droplets adhere to the inner wall surface of the product carry-out door, most of the water drops are pear-finished. Since the water droplets adhering to the concave surface and adhering to the satin-like convex portion serving as a contact point with the product are few, the product does not stick to the inner wall surface of the product carry-out door. Therefore, even if it is a lightweight goods and it is a polyhedral-shaped paper pack drink, it has the effect that it can be reliably sent to a goods taking-out port.

また、請求項２に記載の自動販売機の商品搬出扉によれば、商品搬出扉の内壁面に直接梨地面を形成することによって商品搬出扉の製造時に梨地面を形成することができ、さらに、請求項３に記載の自動販売機の商品搬出扉によれば、大きな強度を有するセラミックスからなる本体部分と、合成樹脂からなる梨地部分とに分割して形成し、両者を結合して商品搬出扉を構成することにより悪戯により商品搬出扉が破壊されるのを防止することができるという効果を有する。   Moreover, according to the product carry-out door of the vending machine according to claim 2, by forming the pear ground directly on the inner wall surface of the product carry-out door, the pear ground can be formed at the time of manufacturing the product carry-out door, According to the commodity unloading door of the vending machine according to claim 3, the main body part made of ceramics having high strength and the satin part made of synthetic resin are divided and formed, and the two are combined to carry out the commodity unloading. By configuring the door, it is possible to prevent the merchandise carry-out door from being destroyed by mischief.

以下、本発明の実施の形態を図１および図２に示す実施例に基づいて説明する。図１は本発明の一実施例を示す自動販売機の商品搬出扉部分の要部側面図であり、図２は商品搬出扉の拡大図である。なお、各図において、図３と同一のものには同一の符号を付している。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the examples shown in FIGS. FIG. 1 is a side view of a main part of a product carry-out door portion of a vending machine showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the product carry-out door. In addition, in each figure, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same thing as FIG.

図において１０で再び断熱内扉を示し、この断熱内扉１０の下部には商品搬出口１０１ａが形成された商品搬出口枠１０１が設けられている。前記商品搬出口１０１ａは断熱筐体として形成された本体キャビネット１の庫内における各商品収納室の下部に配置されたシューターＣと外扉６の商品取出口９とを連係するものである。そして、前記商品搬出口枠１０１に形成された商品搬出口１０１ａを閉塞するように商品搬出扉１１１が設けられており、この商品搬出扉１１１は上部の左右両端に突出する軸１１１ａ（図２参照）を有し、この軸１１１ａが商品搬出口枠１０１に軸支されることにより揺動自在に構成され、常時（販売待機時）商品搬出口１０１ａを閉塞しており、商品販売時にシューターＣから商品取出口９に送出される商品により押し開かれるように形成されている。前述のように商品搬出扉１１１は常時（販売待機時）商品搬出口１０１ａを閉塞するように構成するために、商品が当接する内壁面を商品取出口９側に湾曲して形成している。すなわち、商品搬出扉１１１は重心位置が商品取出口９側に偏心するように湾曲して形成され、これにより常時は商品搬出口１０１ａを閉塞している。なお、図１において、９１は外扉６の商品取出口９に設けられた商品取出口扉であり、この商品取出口扉９１も上端を軸支されて揺動自在に軸支され、常時商品取出口９を閉塞するように偏心して形成されている。   In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a heat insulating inner door again, and a commodity outlet frame 101 in which a commodity outlet 101 a is formed is provided at the lower part of the inner insulating door 10. The product carry-out port 101a links the shooter C and the product take-out port 9 of the outer door 6 disposed at the lower part of each product storage chamber in the cabinet of the main body cabinet 1 formed as a heat insulating casing. And the goods delivery door 111 is provided so that the goods delivery opening 101a formed in the said goods delivery exit frame 101 may be obstruct | occluded, and this goods delivery door 111 is the axis | shaft 111a (refer FIG. 2) which protrudes in the right-and-left both ends of an upper part. ) And the shaft 111a is pivotally supported by being supported by the product carry-out frame 101. The product carry-out port 101a is always closed (at the time of sale standby), and the shooter C It is formed so as to be pushed open by the product delivered to the product outlet 9. As described above, the product carry-out door 111 is configured so that the product carry-out port 101a is closed at all times (during standby for sale), and the inner wall surface with which the product comes into contact is curved toward the product take-out port 9 side. That is, the product carry-out door 111 is formed to be curved so that the position of the center of gravity is eccentric to the product take-out port 9 side, and thereby the product carry-out port 101a is normally closed. In FIG. 1, 91 is a product outlet door provided at the product outlet 9 of the outer door 6. This product outlet door 91 is also pivotally supported with its upper end pivoted so that it is always a product. It is formed eccentric so as to close the outlet 9.

前記断熱内扉１０の商品搬出口１０１ａを閉塞する商品搬出扉１１１は合成樹脂により形成され、図２に示すように、その湾曲した内壁面は梨地１１２として形成されている。前記商品搬出扉１１１の内壁面の梨地１１２は商品搬出扉１１１を成形する成形型の表面に梨地模様が施され、この成形型を用いて商品搬出扉を成形することによって形成することができる。前記梨地１１２は良く知られているように梨の表皮の外観を呈する凹凸を有するものである。   The product carry-out door 111 that closes the product carry-out port 101a of the heat insulating inner door 10 is formed of synthetic resin, and its curved inner wall surface is formed as a satin finish 112 as shown in FIG. The matte surface 112 of the inner wall surface of the product carry-out door 111 can be formed by molding a product carry-out door using this mold by applying a pear texture to the surface of a mold for molding the product carry-out door 111. As is well known, the pear texture 112 has irregularities that give the appearance of a pear skin.

かかる構成で、販売待機時には前記商品搬出扉１１１が断熱内扉１０に開口した商品搬出口１０１ａを閉塞しおり、庫内外への空気の流入または流出を防いでいる（庫内の商品を冷却してコールド商品として販売する商品収納室の場合には商品搬出口から庫内に外気が侵入するのを防ぎ、庫内の商品を加熱してホット商品として販売する場合には商品収納室の商品搬出口から庫内の暖気が流出するのを防いでいる）。一方、販売動作により庫内の商品収納ラックＲ（図３参照）から払出された商品はシューターＣに落下して滑落し、断熱内扉１０の商品搬出口１０１ａを閉塞する商品搬出扉１１１を押し開いて外扉６の商品取出口９に送出される。このようにシューターＣを滑落する商品が商品搬出扉１１１を押し開く際、前記商品は商品搬出扉１１１の内壁面（梨地１１２）に当接してその梨地１１２面を滑りながら商品搬出扉１１１を押し開く。この場合、商品搬出扉１１１の内壁面が梨地１１２として形成されていることによって商品と商品搬出扉１１１の内壁面との接触面積が小さくなり、商品は商品搬出扉１１１の内壁面をスムーズに滑って滑落する。   With such a configuration, the product carry-out door 111 closes the product carry-out port 101a opened in the heat-insulated inner door 10 at the time of sale standby, and prevents the inflow or outflow of air into or out of the store (cooling the product in the store) In the case of a product storage room sold as a cold product, outside air is prevented from entering the product through the product delivery port, and when the product in the product is heated and sold as a hot product, the product delivery port in the product storage room To prevent the warm air in the cabinet from leaking out). On the other hand, the product delivered from the product storage rack R (see FIG. 3) in the warehouse by the selling operation falls to the shooter C and slides down, and pushes the product delivery door 111 that closes the product delivery port 101a of the insulated inner door 10. It opens and is sent to the product outlet 9 of the outer door 6. Thus, when the product sliding down the shooter C pushes and opens the product delivery door 111, the product contacts the inner wall surface (pear texture 112) of the product delivery door 111 and pushes the product delivery door 111 while sliding on the surface of the pear texture 112. open. In this case, since the inner wall surface of the product carry-out door 111 is formed as the matte surface 112, the contact area between the product and the inner wall surface of the product carry-out door 111 is reduced, and the product smoothly slides on the inner wall surface of the product carry-out door 111. Slide down.

次に、商品収納ラックＲ（図３参照）から払出された商品に結露による水滴が付着しており、当該商品によって商品搬出扉１１１の内壁面（商品との当接面）に水滴が付着した場合について説明する。この実施の形態においては、商品搬出扉１１１の内壁面が梨地１１２として形成されていることによって当該内壁面の表面積が大きくなり、商品搬出扉１１１の内壁面に付着した水滴の大部分は梨地１１２の凹面に付着し、商品との接触点となる梨地１１２の凸部に付着する水滴は僅かなものとなり、また、商品と商品搬出扉１１１の内壁面との接触面積が小さいことから当該水滴によって商品が商品搬出扉１１１の内壁面に張り付くことはない。さらに、多面体形状の紙パック飲料の角が平面状に潰れており、その平面状部が商品搬出扉１１１の内壁面に当接した場合にも、商品搬出扉１１１の内壁面が梨地１１２として形成されていることによって商品（角が潰れた平面状部）と商品搬出扉１１１の内壁面との接触面積が小さくなり、商品は商品搬出扉１１１の内壁面をスムーズに滑って滑落する。このことは発明者らの実験により、軽量な商品であっても、また、多面体形状の紙パック飲料であっても確実に商品取出口に送出できることが確認されている。   Next, water droplets due to condensation have adhered to the product delivered from the product storage rack R (see FIG. 3), and the water droplets have adhered to the inner wall surface (the contact surface with the product) of the product carry-out door 111 by the product. The case will be described. In this embodiment, since the inner wall surface of the product carry-out door 111 is formed as the satin 112, the surface area of the inner wall increases, and most of the water droplets adhering to the inner wall of the product carry-out door 111 are made into the satin 112. The water droplets attached to the concave surface of the product and attached to the convex portion of the satin 112 serving as a contact point with the product are small, and since the contact area between the product and the inner wall surface of the product delivery door 111 is small, The product does not stick to the inner wall surface of the product carry-out door 111. Furthermore, even when the corners of the polyhedral paper pack beverage are flattened and the flat portion abuts against the inner wall surface of the product carry-out door 111, the inner wall surface of the product carry-out door 111 is formed as a satin finish 112. As a result, the contact area between the product (the flat portion with the crushed corners) and the inner wall surface of the product carry-out door 111 is reduced, and the product slides smoothly on the inner wall surface of the product carry-out door 111. It has been confirmed by experiments by the inventors that even a light product or a polyhedral paper pack beverage can be reliably delivered to the product outlet.

図１および図２に示した実施の形態では商品搬出扉１１１が合成樹脂からなり、その成形型に梨地模様を施して商品搬出扉１１１を成形することにより商品搬出扉１１１に直接梨地を形成するものについて説明したが、この実施の形態に限定されるものではない。例えば、悪戯により商品搬出扉が破壊されるのを防止するために大きな強度を有するセラミックスからなる本体部分と、合成樹脂からなる梨地部分とに分割し、両者を結合して商品搬出扉を形成することができ、また、商品搬出扉の断熱性を向上させるために商品搬出扉の本体部分と梨地部分とに分割し、両者の間に空気層が形成されるように両者を接合することによって商品搬出扉を構成することもできる。   In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the product carry-out door 111 is made of synthetic resin, and the product carry-out door 111 is formed by applying a matte pattern to the mold so that the product carry-out door 111 is directly formed. Although described above, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in order to prevent the merchandise carry-out door from being destroyed by mischief, it is divided into a main body portion made of ceramics having a high strength and a satin portion made of synthetic resin, and both are combined to form a merchandise carry-out door. The product can be divided into a main body part and a matte part of the product carry-out door in order to improve the heat insulation of the product carry-out door, and joined together so that an air layer is formed between them. A carry-out door can also be configured.
