[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a product storage shelf such as a canned beverage vending machine.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 A product storage shelf of a conventional canned beverage vending machine will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 7 is a side sectional view of the vending machine, and FIG. 8 is a side sectional view of the rail plate. A product storage shelf 2 for storing products 11 such as canned beverages is arranged in the main body 1, and has a plurality of rows of product storage passages (hereinafter simply referred to as passages) 4 formed by a plurality of rail plates 3. is doing.

The rail plate 3 is formed by bending a metal plate having a predetermined width to form an arcuate curved portion having a concavo-convex shape continuously in the vertical direction, and all have the same shape. Each pair of the rail plates 3 are vertically erected so as to face each other in the depth direction inside the main body 1, and a plurality of rows (4 rows in the drawing) of passages 4 having a predetermined depth width are formed. . The upper end of the aisle 4 is connected to the product intake 6 via the intake chute 5, and the lower end is connected to the product unloading section 7 for unloading one product at a time.

When a product 11 is loaded (supplemented) from the product intake 6 with its longitudinal direction lying sideways, the product 11 rolls on the intake chute 5 and is sequentially stacked and stored in the product storage rack 2. When a sales signal is issued, the products 11 are carried out one by one from the product carry-out section 7 and sent out to the take-out port 10 provided at the door 9 through the carry-out chute 8 provided below the product carry-out section 7. ing.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the conventional product storage shelf 2, as shown in FIG. 8, the rail plates 3A and 3B are arranged between the adjacent passages 4A and 4B. Therefore, a gap is created between the adjacent rail plates 3A and 3B, so that a lot of space in the main body 1 that does not contribute to the product collection can be increased. Moreover, since the number of parts is large, the number of assembling steps is large. Furthermore, since the rail plate is made of metal, there was a problem that the main body became very heavy. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a product storage shelf that utilizes space and has a simple structure.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The product storage shelf according to the present invention is a product storage shelf that is placed in the main body and stores products such as canned beverages. A plurality of side plates are formed by dividing the frontage of the main body in the depth direction. Each partition plate has a plurality of rows of product storage passages partitioned by partition plates, and each partition plate is formed by integrally connecting a plurality of units formed by molding resin in the same shape in the vertical direction. The product storage passages are erected upright with a predetermined depth width to separate adjacent product storage passages from each other, and the unit is formed with a curved portion formed in an arc shape in the central portion and an upper end portion. It is characterized in that it has a supporting portion for sandwiching the support shaft horizontally mounted therein, and a fitting portion formed at the lower end portion for fitting the supporting portion of an adjacent unit connected to the lower end portion.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a side sectional view of a vending machine, FIG. 2 is a side sectional view showing the structure of a product storage shelf, FIG. 3 is a side sectional view of a partition plate, and FIG. 4 is a plan view of a product storage shelf. 5 is a sectional side view of a partition plate showing another embodiment, and FIG. 6 is a plan view of a product storage shelf using the partition plate shown in FIG. The same parts as those in the prior art are designated by the same reference numerals.

The product storage shelf 20 according to the present invention is arranged so as to store a plurality of types of products 11 in the main body 1, and has a plurality of rows of passages 30 formed by a plurality of partition plates 21. It The partition plate 21 connects a plurality of units 211, 212, ... Having the same shape in the vertical direction, and is formed like armor. As shown in FIG. 3, the unit 211 is made of synthetic resin by extrusion molding or injection molding, and has a curved portion 211A formed in an arc shape in the central portion, a support portion 211B formed at the upper end portion, and a lower end portion. It has a fitting portion 211C formed on the.

The curved portion 211A is formed with a protrusion 211D which further projects toward the passage 30. The protrusion 211D is for preventing the products 11 passing through this portion from standing up from the horizontal stacking posture. The support portion 211B is bent into a hook shape, and is formed so as to be sandwiched and fixed by a plurality of support shafts 23 horizontally mounted on the two side plates 12 (see FIG. 4). Further, the fitting portion 211C is formed with a claw which is branched and expanded in the front-rear direction toward the lower end.

[0012] The supporting portion 212B of the lower adjacent unit 212 connected to the unit 211 is fitted into the fitting portion 211C so as to be connected to each other. The fitting portion 212C of the lowermost unit 212 is fitted and fixed to the lowermost fixed shaft 24 that is horizontally mounted on the side plate 12. The units 212 ··· are also similar to the unit 211, and the units 211, 212, ··· are connected as described above to assemble one partition plate 21.

The partition plate 21 is erected vertically with a predetermined depth width toward the depth direction of the main body 1, and is arranged as if one partition plate 21 were moved horizontally at equal intervals in the front-rear direction. A plurality of rows (four rows in FIG. 2) of passages 30 each of which is partitioned by one partition plate 21 are formed. The upper end of the passage 30 is connected to the product intake 6 via the intake chute 5, and the lower end is connected to the product unloading section 7.

FIG. 5 is a view showing another embodiment of the partition plate, and the partition plate 22 of this embodiment is composed of a plurality of units 221, 222, ... Of the same shape. The unit 221 is an injection-molded synthetic resin and has a curved portion 221A, a fitting portion 221C, and a protrusion 221D similar to the units 211, 212, ..., And the shape of the support portion 221B is different. It is different from the unit 211. As shown in FIG. 6, the support portion 221B is provided with a protrusion 221E protruding leftward and rightward from the upper end of the unit 221, and the protrusion 221E is inserted into a support hole 25 formed in the side plate 12 in the shape of a daruma and is lowered downward. The unit 221 is fixed to the side plate 12 by pushing it in.

By inserting the projection 222E of the unit 222 into the support hole 25 and pushing it downward and by fitting the support portion 222B into the fitting portion 221C, both units 221 and 222 are connected and fixed. The fitting portion 222C of the unit 222 as the lowermost stage is fitted and fixed to the fixed shaft 24. According to this embodiment, since the support shaft 23 as described above is not required, the number of parts can be reduced. The shapes of the supporting portion and the fitting portion described above are not limited to those of the present embodiment as long as they can be similarly used.

[0015]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, in the product storage shelf according to the present invention, units made of resin having the same shape are connected to each other to form one partition plate, and the adjacent product storage passages are also partitioned by one partition. Partitioned by a board. Therefore, the number of parts can be reduced, and the product storage space can be efficiently utilized, so that the product can be made thinner than the conventional product storage shelves. In addition, the number of storages and passages can be increased in the same storage space. Further, since the partition plate is made of resin, there is an advantage that the weight can be reduced.
