Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention enables two product ejection mechanisms to be activated by one coin validation machine, and when one product ejection mechanism is activated, the other product ejection mechanism is activated. The present invention relates to a power-free manual vending machine that is entirely mechanically configured so that no mechanism operates and one product ejection mechanism does not operate when the other product ejection mechanism operates.

<Prior Art> It is necessary for a vending machine to prevent one product from being taken out while another product is being taken out. For this reason, in conventional vending machines, for example,
- As disclosed in Publication No. 33093, a control case with a trapezoidal cross section is provided in the product storage chamber, and products are stored on the left and right sides of the control case, and the product on the left side is stored inside the control case. An electromagnet for controlling the release of the product on the right side and an electromagnet for controlling the release of the product on the right side are provided, and the operation of the electromagnet on the left side alternately causes the first product release prevention rod and the second product release prevention rod that face the product aisle on the left side to appear and disappear. A structure is adopted in which the first product is released, but the release of the second product is reliably prevented.

In addition, in vending machines that do not require electricity, coins are processed mechanically, and conventionally,
For example, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-60166, when the operating knob is rotated, the coin holding body is rotated, and the product delivery blade is also rotated to deliver the product.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> However, most conventional vending machines require a power source, as typified by the above-mentioned first prior art. This kind of vending machine is
It cannot meet the demand for use even in places where there is no power supply.

Furthermore, in conventional vending machines that do not require a power source, as typified by the second conventional technology mentioned above, a coin handling mechanism must be provided for each product ejecting mechanism, resulting in a complex structure. There are drawbacks.

Therefore, it is desired to develop a manual vending machine that does not require a power source and has a simple structure that requires only one coin processing mechanism even though it is equipped with two product ejection mechanisms. was.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention has been proposed in view of the above, and it holds an inserted coin so as to protrude from the outer periphery, and drops the coin when it is rotated by a predetermined angle within 180 degrees. a coin processing mechanism 13 having a coin holding plate 12, which makes it possible to eject a coin when the coin holding plate 12 holds the coin in a state protruding from the outer periphery; A product vending machine 1 comprising a first product discharging mechanism 16 for discharging one product stored in the second product storage section 15 in one operation, and a second product discharging mechanism 17 for discharging one product stored in the second product storage section 15 in one operation. A first operating section 18 and a second operating section 19 are provided on the front surfaces of the cases 2 and 3, and a first operating shaft 33 fixed to the first operating section 18 and a second operating shaft 33 fixed to the second operating section 19 are provided. A first alternative rotation permitting cam 39 is arranged substantially parallel to the shaft 34 and has a recess at a position approximately 180 degrees out of phase with the first operating shaft 33, and has a recess at a position approximately 180 degrees out of phase with the first operating shaft 33. Second alternative rotation permissible cam 4
6 are each fixed to the second operation shaft 34, and between the first alternative rotation allowing cam 39 and the second alternative rotation allowing cam 46, there are protrusions at both ends that can be engaged with the recesses, and the first A slide plate 49 is provided that moves toward the other cam when the convex portion of either the one-alternative rotation permitting cam 39 or the second alternative rotation permitting cam 46 is pressed. The length between the parts is such that when the convex part at one end of the slide plate 49 is located within the concave part of one alternative rotation permitting cam, the convex part at the other end of the slide plate 49 comes out of the concave part of the other alternative rotation permitting cam. A slide plate 49 that enables rotation of the other alternative rotation allowing cam of the lever, and the one alternative rotation allowing cam rotates and comes out of the recessed portion of the alternative rotation allowing cam.
When the convex portion at one end faces the periphery of the alternative rotation permitting cam, the convex portion at the other end of the slide plate 49 enters into the concave portion of the other alternative rotation permitting cam to prevent rotation of the alternative rotation permitting cam. and set the above first operating axis 3.
3 and the second operating shaft 34, and the operating shaft 73 is connected to the coin holding plate 12 of the coin processing mechanism 13 via a transmission mechanism (gear 28, gear train 74), The first operating shaft 33 and the operating shaft 73 are connected via a first one-way clutch 75, and the input side of the first one-way clutch 75 including the first operating shaft 33 is connected to the first product discharging mechanism 16. The first product discharging mechanism 16 is connected so that it makes one movement with a half rotation of the first operating shaft 33, and the second operating shaft 34 and the operating shaft 73 are connected via the second one-way clutch 76. 2 including the second operating shaft 34
The input side of the one-way clutch 76 is connected to the second product ejecting mechanism 17 in such a way that the second product ejecting mechanism 17 makes one movement when the second operating shaft 34 makes one half turn, and the operating shaft is rotated by one operating shaft. This feature is characterized in that the other operating shaft cannot be rotated while the other operating shaft is being rotated.

<Function> When the inserted coin is held by the coin holding plate 12 of the coin processing mechanism 13, the product becomes ready to be ejected, and in this state, the first operating section 18 on the front of the case is pressed.
When the first operating shaft 33 is rotated, the first alternative rotation permitting cam 39 rotates, thereby causing the convex portion at one end of the slide plate 49 to rotate as the first alternative rotation permitting cam 39.
At the same time, the slide plate 49 is moved toward the second alternative rotation permitting cam 46 by being pushed by the cam 39, and the convex portion of the other end of the slide plate 49 enters the concave portion of the second alternative rotation permitting cam 46. The second alternative rotation permitting cam 46 is prevented from rotating. Therefore, in this state, any attempt to rotate the second operating section 19 will be blocked.

When the first operating portion 18 is further rotated, the first one-way clutch 75 transmits the rotation of the first operating shaft 33,
As a result, the first product discharging mechanism 16 operates, and the operating shaft 73 rotates. When the first operating shaft 33 rotates sufficiently, the first product discharging mechanism 16 removes the products one by one.
The coin holding plate 12 of the coin handling mechanism 13 rotates approximately half a turn and drops the coin.

In this state, the second one-way clutch 76 rotates idly, so the second product ejecting mechanism 17 does not operate.

On the other hand, when the second operating section 19 is operated to rotate the second operating shaft 34 in a state where the product can be ejected, the second alternative rotation permitting cam 46 rotates, thereby causing the other end convex portion of the slide plate 49 to rotate. The slide plate 49 is removed from the recess of the two-alternative rotation permitting cam 46 and is pressed by the cam 46 to move toward the first-alternative rotation permitting cam 39, and the convex portion at one end of the slide plate 49 moves to the first-alternative rotation permitting cam 46. It enters into the recess of the cam 39 and prevents the first alternative rotation allowing cam 39 from rotating. Therefore, in this state, any attempt to rotate the first operating portion 18 will be blocked.

When the second operating portion 19 is further rotated, the second one-way clutch 76 transmits the rotation of the second operating shaft 34,
As a result, the second product ejecting mechanism 17 operates, the operating shaft 73 rotates, and when the second operating shaft 34 rotates sufficiently, the second product ejecting mechanism 17 removes the products one by one.
The coin holding plate 12 of the coin handling mechanism 13 rotates approximately half a turn and drops the coin.

Note that in this state, the first one-way clutch 75 rotates idly, so the first product ejecting mechanism 16 does not operate.

Furthermore, even if an attempt is made to operate the first operating section 18 and the second operating section 19 at the same time in a state where the product can be ejected, both the convex portions of the slide plate 49 are connected to the concave portions of the first and second alternative rotation permitting cams 39 and 46. Since the first and second operating parts 18 and 19 cannot be rotated at the same time, the first and second operating parts 18 and 19 cannot be rotated at the same time.

<Example> Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

The embodiment of the manual automatic vending machine 1 without power supply shown in the drawing sells so-called katsupu noodles in a truncated cone-shaped container, and a case lid 3 is hinged to the front of a case body 2 with an open front so that it can be opened and closed. The case lid 3 has a coin input slot 4, a coin return slot 5, a first operation part penetration window 6, a second operation part penetration window 7, a product takeout opening 8, a first sold-out display window 9, and a second sold-out display. A window 10 etc. are provided, a coin handling mechanism 13 consisting of a coin sorter 11, a coin holding plate 12 etc. is provided on one side of the interior of the case body 2, and a first product storage section 1 is provided on the other side of the interior of the case body 2.
A first product discharging mechanism 16 and a second product discharging mechanism 17 are provided at the lower part of the product storage section 4 and the second product storage section 15, respectively, and a dial-shaped first operation section 1 is provided at the opening of the case body 2.
8 and a second operation section 19 are arranged side by side at a predetermined interval, and when the case lid 3 is closed, the coin input port 4 communicates with the entrance of the coin introduction gutter 20 of the coin processing mechanism 13, and the first operation section A first operating portion 18 is provided within the through window 6.
However, the second operating portions 19 are located within the second operating portion through window 7 so that the purchaser can operate them from the front of the case.

The coin processing mechanism 13 includes a coin sorting machine 11 that sorts out the suitability of inserted coins, a coin flow gutter 21 through which coins sorted as proper from the coin sorting machine 11 flow down, and holds proper coins. Coin holding plate 1
2, and a coin storage box 22 for storing coins that have fallen from the coin holding plate 12. Coin holding plate 12
is a disk in which coin storage sections 23, 23 for storing coins are formed on the outer periphery with a phase shift of approximately 180 degrees, and abutting sections 24, 24 are protruded near the coin storage sections 23, 23, respectively. It has been done. As shown in FIG. 3, a horizontal frame piece is formed at the free end of the rotation regulating member 26 so that the free end of the rotation regulating member 26 whose base end is pivoted to the frame 25 is directed toward the outlet side of the coin flow gutter 21. 26a is brought into contact with the upper outer peripheral edge of the coin holding plate 12 in a vertically movable state due to the weight of the rotation regulating member 26 or the bias of a spring. Further, a gear 28 is fixed to one end of a shaft 27 that supports the coin holding plate 12, and a ratchet plate 29 and a substantially cocoon-shaped stop position regulating cam 30 are fixed to the other end of the shaft 27. A roller 32 biased by a spring 31 is in contact with the outer peripheral edge of the stop position regulating cam 30, and this roller 32 is always in contact with the outer peripheral edge of the stop position regulating cam 30.
As shown in FIG.
is positioned below the outlet of the coin flow gutter 21 and stopped. Even if you try to rotate the coin holding plate 12 by rotating the first operating part 18 or the second operating part 19 in this state, the upper contact part 24 will come into contact with the tip of the rotation regulating member 26, so the coin holding plate 12 is never rotated. Therefore, even if an attempt is made to illegally discharge goods without inserting coins, this can be prevented.

When a coin is inserted into the coin slot 4, the coin sorting machine 11 determines whether or not the coin is a proper coin.Inappropriate coins are returned to the coin return slot 5 via the coin return gutter, and proper coins are returned to the coin return slot 5. passes through the coin flow gutter 21 and enters the coin storage section 23 of the coin holding plate 12. When a predetermined number of coins enter the coin storage section 23 above the coin holding plate 12, the last coin protrudes from the outer peripheral edge of the coin holding plate 12. In the embodiment shown in the drawings, it is set to operate with one 100 yen coin, so there is no space in the coin storage section 23 of the coin holding plate 12.
When the 100 yen coin is stored, as shown in Figure 3,
A portion of the coin protrudes from the outer peripheral edge of the coin holding plate 12. In this state, when the coin holding plate 12 is rotated clockwise in FIG. Move while lifting the free end side. Then, when the coin moves further, the part of the coin that has separated from the horizontal frame piece 26a contacts the lower surface of the inclined piece 26b of the rotation regulating member 26, and the contact portion 24 passes under the horizontal frame piece 26a of the rotation regulating member 26. The rotation regulating member 26
Let the free end side remain elevated. Therefore, the contact portion 24 is connected to the horizontal frame piece 2 of the rotation regulating member 26.
The coin holding plate 12 can be continuously rotated without contacting the coin holding plate 6a. Then, when the coin holding plate 12 rotates by a predetermined angle within 180 degrees,
The coins in the coin storage section 23 fall into the coin storage box 22. In this way, the coin holding plate 12 becomes rotatable when a proper coin enters the coin storage part 23, and by swinging the rotation regulating member 26 during rotation, the operating parts 18, 19, which will be described later, are rotated. The lock is released and the product can be discharged, and almost all
When rotated 180 degrees, the other coin storage section 23 is positioned below the outlet of the coin flow gutter 21 and stopped. Note that even if you try to rotate the coin holding plate 12 further,
Since the upper contact portion 24 contacts the tip of the rotation regulating member 26, the coin holding plate 12 will not rotate beyond a predetermined angle.

The first operating section 18 and the second operating section 19 that rotate the coin holding plate 12 described above are as shown in FIG.
They are respectively fixed to the tips of a first operating shaft 33 and a second operating shaft 34, which are arranged substantially parallel to the front-rear direction of the case so as to pass through both sides of the second product storage section 15. At the tip of the first operating shaft 33, there is a first stopper piece 35 at a position approximately 180 degrees out of phase.
35 protruding from the back side and second stopper pieces 36, 36 protruding from the front side. A first alternative rotation permitting cam 39 having a concave portion at a position approximately 180 degrees out of phase with the operating part stop position regulating cam 38 is fixed, and a spring-biased cam 39 is fixed to the outer peripheral edge of the first ratchet plate 37. 1. A first position regulating member 4 contacts the distal end locking portion of the reverse rotation prevention member 40 and is biased by a spring on the outer periphery of the first operating portion stop position regulating cam 38.
1 is brought into contact with the roller 41a at the tip. Therefore, after the first operating shaft 33 has passed the initial so-called play, the first ratchet plate 37 and the first reverse rotation prevention member 40
The reverse rotation is prevented by the action of , and when it is stopped, it is stopped at a predetermined position by the action of the first operation part stop position regulating cam 38 and the first position regulating member 41, as shown in FIG.

In addition, at the tip of the second operating shaft 34, third stopper pieces 42, 42 are provided protruding toward the back side at positions approximately 180 degrees out of phase with each other, similar to the first operating shaft 33. A second ratchet plate 44 having pieces 43, 43 protruding from the surface side, and a second ratchet plate 44 having a substantially cocoon shape with a recess formed at a position approximately 180 degrees out of phase with the second ratchet plate 44.
A second alternative rotation permitting cam 46 having a concave portion at a position approximately 180 degrees out of phase with the operating part stop position regulating cam 45 is fixed, and a second rotation permitting cam 46 biased by a spring is attached to the outer peripheral edge of the second ratchet plate 44. The distal end locking portion of the second reverse rotation prevention member 47 is brought into contact with the outer periphery of the second operating section stop position regulating cam 45, and the roller at the distal end of the second position regulating member 48 biased by a spring is brought into contact with the outer periphery of the second operating section stop position regulating cam 45. Therefore, once the second operating shaft 34 has passed the initial so-called play, the second operating shaft 34 is prevented from reversing by the action of the second ratchet plate 44 and the second reverse rotation prevention member 47, and when the second operating shaft 34 is stopped, the second operating section stop position regulating cam 45 and the second position regulating member 48, it is stopped at a predetermined position.

In the present invention, between the first alternative rotation permitting cam 39 and the second alternative rotation permitting cam 46, protrusions that can be engaged with the recesses are provided at both ends, and the first alternative rotation permitting cam 46 A slide plate 4 that moves toward the other cam when the convex portion is pressed by either the rotation permitting cam 39 or the second alternative rotation permitting cam 46.
9 will be provided. The length between the two convex portions of the slide plate 49 is such that when the convex portion at one end of the slide plate 49 is located within the concave portion of one alternative rotation permitting cam, the convex portion at the other end of the slide plate 49 is One end of the slide plate that comes off from the recess of the one-rotation-allowing cam to enable rotation of the other alternative-rotation-allowing cam, and that comes off from the recess of the one-alternative-rotation-allowing cam as the one alternative rotation-allowing cam rotates. When the convex portion faces the periphery of the alternative rotation permitting cam, the convex portion at the other end of the slide plate 49 enters the concave portion of the other alternative rotation permitting cam to a length that prevents rotation of the alternative rotation permitting cam. It has been set. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, when the convex portion at one end of the slide plate 49 is located in the concave portion of the first alternative rotation permitting cam 39, the convex portion at the other end of the slide plate 49 is located at the concave portion of the second alternative rotation permitting cam. 46, the second alternative rotation permitting cam 46 becomes rotatable by the rotation of the second operating portion 19, and conversely, the convex portion at the other end of the slide plate 49 is separated from the second alternative rotation permitting cam 46. When located in the concave portion, the convex portion at one end of the slide plate 49 is separated from the concave portion of the first alternative rotation permitting cam 39, and the first alternative rotation permitting cam 39 becomes rotatable. However, if you try to rotate both operating parts 18 and 19 at the same time,
Both convex portions of the slide plate 49 are the two-way rotation permissible cam 3.
Since it is impossible for the operating parts 9 and 46 to come off at the same time, simultaneous operation of both operating parts 18 and 19 is prevented. Therefore, it is possible to completely prevent the user from fraudulently operating both the operating units 18 and 19 to obtain the two products. Note that even if the convex portion at one end of the slide plate 49 is located in the concave portion of the first alternative rotation permitting cam 39, when the first operating portion 18 is rotated, the first alternative rotation permitting cam 39 is rotated. Due to the pressing action of the inclination of the recess and the inclination of the convex part of the slide plate 49, the slide plate 49 moves laterally, and the convex part at the other end moves to the second position.
It is located in the recess of the alternative rotation allowance cam 46. Therefore, regardless of the state of the slide plate 49, the purchaser can selectively rotate the desired operating section of either the first operating section 18 or the second operating section 19. can.

Furthermore, the first operating section 18 and the second operating section in this embodiment are
The operating section 19 is configured so that it can be rotated only when a coin enters the coin storage section 23 of the coin holding plate 12 of the coin processing mechanism 13 described above. For this reason, in this embodiment, the tip of the first lock member 50, whose one end is pivoted, faces the back side of the first ratchet plate 37, and the tip of the second lock member 51, whose one end is pivoted, faces the back side of the first ratchet plate 37. 44, and the lower end of the first connecting rod 52 whose upper end is connected halfway to the first locking member 50, and the lower end of the second connecting rod 53 whose upper end is connected halfway to the second locking member 51, are horizontally elongated. They are each connected to a horizontal member 54, and the horizontal member 54 is urged upward by a biasing means such as a spring. Then, the tip end pressing portion 56c of the lock release member 56 is placed on the receiving portion 55 formed at one end of the horizontal member 54, and the rear end 56c of the lock release member 56 is
Rotation regulating member 2 of coin holding plate 12 with reference to 6a
mechanically connected to 6. Since the above-mentioned horizontal member 54 is always raised due to the bias of the spring,
The tip of the first lock member 50 is connected to the first ratchet plate 3.
The second lock member 51 faces the first stopper piece 35 of the second ratchet plate 44 to prevent free rotation of the first ratchet plate 37, and the tip of the second lock member 51 faces the third stopper piece 35 of the second ratchet plate 44.
It faces the stopper piece 42 and prevents the second ratchet plate 44 from freely rotating. Therefore, the rotation regulating member 26 of the coin processing mechanism 13 is in a lowered state, that is,
When there is no coin in the coin storage portion 23 of the coin holding plate 12, the first operating portion 18 is locked by the action of the first locking member 50 and the second locking member 51.
and prevents rotation of the second operating section 19.

Then, when the first operation section 18 or the second operation section 19 is rotated with a coin stored in the coin storage section 23 of the coin holding plate 12, the coin protruding from the coin holding plate 12 hits the rotation regulating member 26. Horizontal frame piece 26a
rotates in the direction of rising. When the rotation regulating member 26 rotates in this manner, the protruding piece 26c protruding from the side surface of the free end of the rotation regulating member 26 lifts the rear end 56a of the lock releasing member 56, thereby causing the lock releasing member 56 to lock onto the shaft. 17th centering around 56b
It rotates counterclockwise in the figure, and the pressing portion 56c at the tip presses the receiving portion 55 of the horizontal member 54 downward. Therefore, the horizontal member 54 rotates about the shaft 54a against the bias of the spring, thereby lowering the first connecting rod 52 and the second connecting rod 53. Note that the distance between the first stopper piece 35 of the first ratchet plate 37 and the tip of the first locking member 50 is such that when the first operating portion 18 is rotated, a coin protruding from the coin holding plate 12 will be prevented from rotating by the rotation regulating member 26. Until the lock is released by raising the lock member, that is, it is set so that it can rotate freely by the so-called play, and the distance between the third stopper piece 42 of the second ratchet plate 44 and the tip of the second lock member 51 is are set in the same way. In this way, the horizontal member 5
4 rotates under the pressure of the lock release member 56 and lowers the first connecting rod 52 and the second connecting rod 53,
The tip of the first lock member 50 is connected to the first ratchet plate 3.
7, and the first ratchet plate 37 becomes rotatable, and the tip of the second lock member 51 is disengaged from the second ratchet plate 44.
The third stopper piece 42 of the second ratchet plate 44 becomes rotatable. Therefore,
The purchaser operates the first operation section 18 or the second operation section 19.
Either one can be rotated.

Product discharging mechanism 1 that operates to discharge products when the first operating section 18 or the second operating section 19 is rotated.
6 and 17 are provided at the lower part of the product storage sections 14 and 15, respectively.

The first product storage section 14 has first storage spaces 60, 60 in the vertical direction formed at the front and back of the case by side guide walls 57, partition walls 58, guide rods 59, etc., and a first storage space 60 on the front side. 1 storage space 60 in which the products are stacked and stored in one row, and the first one at the back of the case
It is configured such that it can be stacked and stored in one row within the storage space 60. A first weight 61 is provided to be movable up and down along the left side guide wall 57, and a first mounting portion 62 formed on the first weight 61 is provided.
is placed on top of the top product.

The second product storage section 15 has second storage spaces 63, 63 formed at the front and rear of the case in the same manner as the first product storage section 14, and the second product storage section 15 has second storage spaces 63, 63 formed at the front and rear of the case, and the second product storage section 15 has second storage spaces 63, 63 formed at the front and rear of the case, and the second product storage section 15 has second storage spaces 63, 63 formed at the front and rear of the case. A double weight 64 is provided.

The first product discharging mechanism 16 provided at the lower part of the first product storage section 14 described above is configured to alternately drop one product stacked on the front side and one product stacked on the back side for each operation. As shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, a rail-shaped lower slide guide part 65 is formed near the lower end of the side guide wall 57 in the front-rear direction of the case, and an upper part of the lower slide guide part 65 is formed. upper slide guide part 6
Wheels 68 provided on the sides of the lower product support plate 67 having a U-shaped cross section are fitted into the lower slide guide portion 65 so as to be movable back and forth. The wheels 70 are fitted into the upper slide guide portion 66 so as to be movable back and forth, and as shown in FIG. It is pivoted to the side of the plate 69, and the lower end of the swinging rod 71 is pivoted to the side of the lower product support plate 67. Note that the interval between the upper product support plate 69 and the lower product support plate 67 is set to be slightly smaller than the vertical length of the product. In addition, when discharging products in truncated cone-shaped cup containers as in this example, they are stacked in the storage section with the smaller bottoms facing up and the larger tops facing down. It is desirable to form notches at both ends of the upper product support plate 69 to form a substantially H-shape. In this way, when the upper product support plate 69 moves, the top of the lower product enters the notch, so the upper product support plate 69 moves without interfering with the bottom product, and the second product slides smoothly under the underside of the. Therefore, in the state shown in FIG. 10, the upper product support plate 69 stops about one product above the bottom of the storage space 60 on the near side and supports the product in the storage space 60; Further, the lower product support plate 67 stops at the bottom of the storage space 60 at the back and supports the products in the storage space 60. Then, when the swinging rod 71 swings, the lower product support plate 67 moves forward and the upper product support plate 69 moves backward, so that the lower product support plate 67 moves in the storage space 60 at the back.
The lowest product placed on the product comes off the lower product support plate 67 and falls onto the product receiving portion 72, and the upper product support plate 69 supports the second product from the bottom.
Furthermore, when the upper product support plate 69 retreats, the lowest product placed on the upper product support plate 69 in the storage space 60 on the near side comes off the upper product support plate 69 and all the products descend. The product is supported by the lower product support plate 67 that has moved forward. Therefore, when the swinging rod 71 swings once (one movement), the product moves one time.
Only one product is discharged to the product receiving section 72. Note that when the swinging rod 71 swings again (one operation) in this state, the lower product support plate 67 retreats and the upper product support plate 69 moves forward, so that the product placed on the lower product support plate 67 Only the lowest product in the storage section 60 on the near side is discharged to the product receiving section 72. In this way, the product discharge mechanism discharges only one product each time it is activated.

Note that the second product ejecting mechanism 17, like the first product ejecting mechanism 16, operates by swinging the swinging rod 71' (one operation).
By moving the lower product support plate 67' and the upper product support plate 69' back and forth in different directions, the product is dropped one by one.

Product ejection mechanisms 16, 17 having the above configuration
In order to transmit the operating force of the operating parts 18 and 19 to the coin processing mechanism 13 to perform the product ejecting operation, and to make the coin processing mechanism 13 perform the coin processing by transmitting the operating force of the operating parts 18 and 19 to the coin processing mechanism 13, As shown in Figure 4,
An operating shaft 73 is arranged so as to face the first operating shaft 33 and the second operating shaft 34, and one end of the operating shaft 73 is connected to the gear train 7.
It is connected to the shaft 27 of the coin holding plate 12 of the coin processing mechanism 13 via a transmission mechanism such as No. 4 or the like. Also, the first
The operating shaft 33 and the operating shaft 73 are connected via a first one-way clutch 75, and the first operating shaft 33
The input side of the first one-way clutch 75 including 34 and the operating shaft 73 are connected via a second one-way clutch 76, and the input side of the second one-way clutch 76 including the second operating shaft 34 is connected to the second product discharging mechanism 17 through the second operating shaft. The second product discharging mechanism 17 is connected in such a manner that the second product discharging mechanism 17 makes one movement in 34 half turns.

As shown in FIG. 13, the first one-way clutch 75 includes a first input-side clutch member 77 that passes through the operating shaft 73 in a freely rotatable state, and a first input-side clutch member 77 that freely rotates through the operating shaft 73.
3, and a first output side clutch member 78 fixed at 3. The first output side clutch member 78 is a thick cylindrical body having a through hole in the center through which the operating shaft 73 is inserted, and has a first cylindrical portion with one end open at the end facing the first input side clutch member 77. 79 is fixed, and first locking grooves 80, 80 are formed on the inner circumferential surface of the opening first cylindrical portion 79 at positions approximately 180 degrees out of phase,
A fixing screw 81 for fixing to the operating shaft 73 is screwed onto the opposite side of the first input side clutch member 77. On the other hand, the first input side clutch member 77 is a thick cylindrical body having a through hole in the center into which the operating shaft 73 is loosely fitted, and a first threaded gear fixed to the first operating shaft 33 on the outer peripheral surface of one end. A second screw gear 83 is formed which meshes with the gear 82, and a first screw gear 83 is formed in the middle of the length.
A driving cam 84 is formed, and a first locking pawl 86 biased by a spring 85 is pivotably attached to the side facing the first output side clutch member 78. The tip is loosely fitted onto the actuating shaft 73 so as to slide on the inner peripheral surface of the first cylindrical portion 79 of the first output side clutch member 78 described above. The first drive cam 84 described above is for driving the first product ejection mechanism 16, and is for driving the first product ejection mechanism 16.
It is connected to the first drive rod 87 of. As shown in FIG. 10, this first driving rod 87 has a cam storage portion 88 having a U-shaped cross section at its upper end, and its lower end is connected to the lower end of the first swinging rod 71 of the first product discharging mechanism 16. It is a long member that is pivoted to the side of the product support plate 67 and pivoted to the fixing plate 89 along the middle of its length, and the first drive cam 84 is fitted into the cam storage portion 88.

The second one-way clutch 76 has the same configuration as the first one-way clutch 75, and has a second input side clutch member 90 that passes through the operating shaft 73 in a freely rotatable state, and a second input side clutch member 90 that extends freely through the operating shaft 73. It consists of a fixed second output side clutch member 91. The second output side clutch member 91 is a thick cylindrical body having a through hole in the center through which the operating shaft 73 is inserted, and a second cylindrical portion with one end open at the end facing the second input side clutch member 90. 92 is fixed, and second locking grooves 93, 93 are formed on the inner circumferential surface of the second cylindrical portion 92 at positions approximately 180 degrees out of phase with each other, and on the opposite side of the second input side clutch member 90. A fixing screw 94 for fixing to the operating shaft 73 is screwed together. On the other hand, the second input side clutch member 90 is a thick cylindrical body having a through hole in the center into which the operating shaft 73 is loosely fitted, and a third threaded gear fixed to the second operating shaft 34 on the outer peripheral surface of one end. 9
5, and a second drive cam 97 is formed in the middle of the length,
A second locking pawl 99 biased by a spring 98 is pivotally attached to the side facing the second output side clutch member 91, and the tip of this second locking pawl 99 is connected to the second output. The side clutch member 91 is loosely fitted onto the operating shaft 73 so as to slide on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion. The second drive cam 97 described above is for driving the second product ejection mechanism 17 and is connected to the second drive rod 100 of the second product ejection mechanism 17 . This second drive rod 100 has the same configuration as the first drive rod 87 described above, and when the second drive cam 97 rotates approximately 180 degrees, it swings once to operate the second product ejecting mechanism 17.

Therefore, when the first operating portion 18 is operated to rotate the first operating shaft 33 with the coin inserted into the coin input slot 4 entering the coin storage section 23 of the coin holding plate 12, the first screw gear is rotated. 82 rotates the second screw gear 83, and the first input side clutch member 77 of the first one-way clutch 75 rotates. When the first input side clutch member 77 rotates, as shown in FIG.
8, the first locking groove 80 is locked.
The output side clutch member 78 is integrally connected with the first input side clutch member 77, and the operating shaft 73 begins to rotate. Even if the second output side clutch member 91 of the second one-way clutch 76 rotates due to the rotation of the operating shaft 73 in this manner, as shown in FIG. The second locking claw 99 simply rotates idly in a direction in which it cannot lock into the second locking groove 93 of the second cylindrical portion 92 . Therefore, the second input clutch member 90 remains stationary.

In this way, when the operating shaft 73 begins to rotate due to the rotating operation of the first operating section 18, the rotational force of the operating shaft 73 is transmitted to the coin holding plate 12 of the coin processing mechanism 13 via the gear train 74. Ru. Therefore, the coin holding plate 12 begins to rotate and lifts the rotation regulating member 26, releasing the lock of the first operating portion 18 as described above. Then, the coin holding plate 12 is sufficiently rotated by the rotational force from the operating shaft 73, and the coin storage section 2
When the coin in 3 falls and rotates approximately 180 degrees, it stops.

Further, when the first input side clutch member 77 of the first one-way clutch 75 rotates approximately 180 degrees, the first drive cam 84 swings the first drive rod 87 of the first product ejecting mechanism 16 from one side to the other. . First drive rod 87
When the first swinging rod 71 swings from one side to the other, the lower product support plate 67 swings only once.
moves forward, and the upper product support plate 69 moves rearward to discharge only one product. In addition,
When the first operation part 18 is rotated, the second drive cam 9
7 does not rotate, the second product discharging mechanism 17 does not operate.

The operating shaft 73 rotates approximately 180 degrees as described above, so that the coin holding plate 1 of the coin processing mechanism 13 is rotated approximately 180 degrees.
2 is rotated approximately 180 degrees to process the coins, and the first product ejecting mechanism 16 is activated to remove the first product.
Only one product in the product storage section 14 is transferred to the product receiving section 72.
When it is discharged, the stop position regulating cam 1 provided at one end
01 and the pressure roller 102, it stops at a predetermined position.

Note that the first operation part 18 is provided with so-called play so that it can rotate freely until the contact part 24 of the coin holding plate 12 contacts the rotation regulating member 26.
Even if the operation part 18 is operated back and forth several times by this amount of play, the first locking pawl 86 of the first one-way clutch 75 simply slides back and forth on the inner peripheral surface of the first cylindrical part 79. Since it is not locked in the first locking groove 80, the operating shaft 73 does not rotate. Therefore,
By operating the first operating section 18 in small increments, it is possible to effectively prevent fraudulent acts of discharging products.

The above explanation is based on the fact that the purchaser
However, if the user wishes to purchase the products in the second product storage section 15, the second operation section 19 is operated. When the purchaser rotates the second operation part 19, the second locking pawl 99 of the second one-way clutch 76 locks in the locking groove of the second output side clutch member 91, and the operating shaft 73 rotates. , the first output side clutch member 78 of the first one-way clutch 75 idles. Therefore, the second product discharging mechanism 17 can operate to discharge only one product in the second product storage section 15 to the product receiving section 72, and the coin holding plate 12 of the coin processing mechanism 13 can be almost completely removed. It rotates 180 degrees and processes the coins inserted.

When the first product discharging mechanism 16 or the second product discharging mechanism 17 is operated to discharge the products by operating the first operating section 18 or the second operating section 19, the number of products in the first product storage section 14, The number of products in the second product storage section 15 decreases. First product storage section 1
When the number of products in 4 decreases, the first weight 61 with the placing section 62 placed on top of the top product descends. and,
When this first weight 61 descends to a predetermined position,
A pressing piece 103 formed on the first weight 61 moves down one end of the first product discharge stop lever 104 . The first product discharge stop rod 104 is pivoted in the middle of its length, and the other end faces the front side of the first ratchet plate 37. Therefore, when one end of the first product discharge stop rod 104 is lowered by the pressure of the first weight 61, the other end is raised and the second stopper piece 36 of the first ratchet plate 37 is moved.
I'm going to meet you. Therefore, in this state, the first operating section 18
When trying to rotate the second stopper piece 36
comes into contact with the other end of the first product discharge stop rod 104.
Therefore, it is possible to prevent the first operating section 18 from being rotated continuously. Further, when the first product discharge stop rod 104 swings, the first lifting rod 105 whose lower end is pivotally attached to the tip portion rises. When the first elevating rod 105 rises, the first sold-out display plate 106, which is movably provided on the back side of the case lid 3, rises, and a sold-out display is displayed in the first sold-out display window 9 of the case lid 3. indicate.

Furthermore, even if there are enough products left in the first product storage section 14, if the number of products in the second product storage section 15 decreases and the second weight 64 descends to a predetermined position,
A pressing piece formed on the second weight 64 moves down one end of the second product discharge stop lever 107. This second product discharge stop rod 107 is pivoted in the middle of its length, and the other end faces the front side of the second ratchet plate 44. Therefore, one end of the second product discharge stop rod 107
When lowered by the pressure of the weight 64, the other end rises and faces the fourth stopper piece 43 of the second ratchet plate 44. Therefore, when an attempt is made to rotate the second operating portion 19 in this state, the fourth stopper piece 43 comes into contact with the other end of the second product discharge stop lever 107. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the second operating section 19 from being rotated continuously. Further, when the second product discharge stop rod 107 swings, a second elevating rod 108 whose lower end is pivotally attached to the tip portion rises. This second
When the lifting rod 108 rises, a second sold-out display board 109 provided on the back side of the case lid 3 so as to be vertically movable rises, and a sold-out display is displayed in the second sold-out display window 10 of the case lid 3.

Then, the products in the first product storage section 14 and the second product storage section 15 are sold out, and the first weight 61 and the second product storage section 15 are sold out.
When the weight 64 descends and both the first lifting rod 105 and the second lifting rod 108 rise, the operation stop member, which was normally lowered by the weight of the first sold-out display board 106 and the second sold-out display board 109, 110 is spring 1
It rotates by the bias of 11. Operation stop member 110
When the coin slot 4 rotates, an L-shaped shutter 112 pivoted to the end of the operation stop member 110 rotates and closes the coin slot 4. In this way, when the products in the first product storage section 14 and the second product storage section 15 are sold out, the shutter 112 closes the coin slot 4, thereby avoiding the inconvenience of coins being inserted.

In this embodiment, the coin holding plate 12 is provided with a contact portion 24 protruding from the coin holding plate 12, and the operating shafts 33, 34 of the operating portions 18, 19 are provided with locking members 50, etc., so that a locking mechanism against fraudulent acts is prevented. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the coin holding plate 12 may not be provided with the contact portion 24 and the lock mechanism may be provided only on the operating portion side, thereby further simplifying the configuration. It's good to wear. When using a single lock mechanism, if the lock mechanism is provided on the operating section side, it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts such as forcibly operating the operating section by utilizing the bumps or deflections of a transmission mechanism such as a gear. However, if a locking mechanism is also provided on the coin holding plate 12 as in this embodiment, even if the locking mechanism on the operating section side is illegally removed, the locking mechanism on the coin holding plate 12 side will be activated. So it's safe.

Further, in the above embodiment, the drive cam is integrally formed on the input side clutch member of the one-way clutch,
Although the drive cam is configured to drive the product ejecting mechanism, in the present invention, any configuration may be used as long as the force on the input side of the one-way clutch can be transmitted to the product ejecting mechanism. The information may be configured to be transmitted to the product discharging mechanism.

Further, the product discharging mechanism may have any configuration as long as it can discharge one product at a time.
The transmission mechanism for transmitting the signal is not limited to a gear train, and may have any configuration.

<Effects of the Invention> As explained above, according to the present invention, everything is configured mechanically, so it goes without saying that it can be installed anywhere regardless of the presence or absence of a power source.
Since it is sufficient to provide one coin processing mechanism for one product ejection mechanism, the structure is simple even if the vending machine can sell two types of products.

Furthermore, in the present invention, since the two operating sections are mechanically prevented from being rotated at the same time by the alternative rotation permitting cam and the slide plate, the two operating sections can be operated at the same time to illegally steal products. It is possible to reliably prevent fraudulent acts of acquiring information.
