BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, various efforts have been made to make it easier to take out the contents of vending machines that sell products such as cans and bottles (for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1-147481).

An example of the above-mentioned conventional product delivery device for a vending machine will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIGS. 4 and 5, 1 is the main body. 2 is a door, and 3 is a plurality of product storage chambers provided inside the main body. 4 is the contents, which are stored in the product storage chamber 3 in piles. Reference numeral 6 denotes a delivery mechanism for discharging the contents 4. Reference numeral 6 denotes a bottom guide passage which guides the contents 4 thrown out by the carry-out mechanism 5 toward the front door, and is sloped forward from the rear to the front. Reference numeral 7 denotes an internal flap located in front of the bottom guide passage 6 and rotatably attached to the main body 1. Reference numeral 8 denotes a take-out opening, which is located at the top of the door 2 (at a position approximately at the height of an adult's hip bone), has a width dimension that allows the product 4 to be taken out, and is placed on one side of the door 2. It is provided. Reference numeral 9 denotes a take-out flap, which is located in front of the take-out port 8 and is rotatably attached to the door 2. 1
A packet 0 is attached at both ends to a vertical conveyance device 11 that is attached to the door 2 and moves up and down in front of the internal flap 7. Reference numeral 12 denotes a belt, which has one end on the outlet 8 side fixed to the lower part of the door 2 and the other end fixed to the upper part of the door 2, bent into a crank shape, and slidably engaged with the packet 1o. The crank-shaped substantially flat part of the belt 12 has a smaller value than the height of the outlet 8 located at the top.

Reference numeral 13 is rotatably attached to the packet 1o by a pulley, and is located at the retaining portion of the belt 12.

14 is a product holding stage, and belt 12 of packet 1o
The lower end is inclined forward toward the fixed side (for example, 4o0), has a width slightly smaller than the width of the outlet 8, and is mounted at a position facing the outlet 8 at the upper part. A product guide 15 is attached to the door 2 in front of the packet 12.

The operation of the product dispensing device of the vending machine configured as described above will be explained below with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

When the packet 1o is on standby, it is in a position facing the internal flap 7, and the product 4 thrown out from the product storage chamber 3 by the unloading mechanism 5 passes through the bottom guide passage 6 and pushes the internal flap 7 open. Waiting for you to jump in. When the contents 4 enter the bucket) 10, the vertical conveyance device 11 causes an upward movement,
Packet 10 rises. When packet 10 rises,
The belt 12 engaged with the packet 10 is connected to the bucket) 10
The packet 10 is moved horizontally relative to the packet 10 by an amount of upward displacement. At this time, the belt 12 is bent and supported by the pulley 13, reducing movement resistance. As the packet 10 rises, the contents 4 placed on the belt 12
moves up and horizontally, and when the packet 10 rises by four dimensions, the contents 4 are moved by the horizontal movement of the belt 12 onto the product holding stage 14 provided on the bucket (bucket) 10 on the lower end holding side of the belt 12. It moves, is supported by the product guide 15, and further rises as the packet 10 rises. When the packet 1o rises to a position facing the take-out port 8, the product 4 inside falls to the take-out port 8 due to the inclination of the product holding stage 14, and the take-out flap 9 is opened and taken out.

After that, the vertical conveyance device 11 moves downward, and the packet 1
o descends. As the belt 12 (bucket) 10 descends, it performs the opposite operation to the upward movement, and the packet 1o descends to a position facing the internal flap 7, completing one unloading operation.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the above configuration, there is a problem that if the product 4 stands up on the product holding stage 14, it will collide with the upper part of the takeout port 8, resulting in a defective delivery. Ta.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has been devised as a product delivery device for a vending machine that is capable of successfully overturning the product, even if it stands on the product holding stage, by the time the product reaches the takeout port, thereby preventing defective delivery. It provides:

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the product dispensing device of the vending machine of the present invention has a take-out port located at a position other than the bottom of the door and set to a width approximately equal to the take-out size of the product inside. , a packet that receives and receives the contents guided from the bottom guide passage, a vertical conveyance device that raises and lowers this packet, a product holding stage installed at a position opposite to the packet outlet, and the operation of this product holding stage. This device includes a product guide provided from the lowest end of the area to the bottom end of the takeout port, and a rail provided to form an acute angle with the product holding stage.
