良の場合にも迅速に一販売動作を終了できる。In this way, since the motor starts operating at [a=2] and the change dispensing starts at the same time at (b-2), the dispensing of products and the dispensing of change proceed simultaneously, and the time required for dispensing the products is reduced. is Tl, and the time required to pay out change is T2.
If Tl>T2, then by the time the completion of payout is detected in (a-3), the completion of payout of change has already been detected in (b-3), and in this case, the completion of payout of change has already been detected in (b-3). The required time can be reduced by T2. Furthermore, in the case of a defective dispensing of the selected product, the process automatically moves to a refund operation, so it is similar to the case where the user makes a judgment himself and then operates the refund lever etc. in the case of a defective dispensing of the selected product. There is no wasted time, and one sales operation can be quickly completed even if the selected product is defective in dispensing.

不良の場合にも迅速に一販売動作を終了できる。Here, the control section 3 is configured as follows. The control unit 3 in FIG. 1 is configured to instruct the change dispensing device to additionally refund the selling price of the selected product for which the dispensing was defective in (a-7) when the control unit 3 detects the end of dispensing change in Cab). , Here, when the end of payout of change is detected in (a-E3), in (a-8), another sales column with the same selling price as the selected item for which the payout was defective is marked as “'Available for sale”. It is configured to reset to Ca-11 and return to Ca-11. In this case, there is no need for the user to re-insert the additionally refunded coins as in the above-mentioned example, and as a result, even if the selected product is incorrectly paid out, it can be quickly resolved. You can end the sales operation.
