Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a vending machine equipped with a direct-loading type product discharge device.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Direct stacking in which the rear end of the bottommost product in the product stack that is directly stacked in the product stacking route is pushed out by the front end of the pusher that is driven back and forth in a straight line, and the product is unloaded from the lower end opening of the product stacking route. The merchandise delivery device is used for automatic vending machines such as cigarettes.

As shown in FIG. 3, an exterior casing 1 of a vending machine is configured by closing a front opening 3 of a vending machine body 2 with a front door 4, and a vending machine body 2 has a storage space 5 inside. A direct stacking type product unloading device 6a is installed. It is also known that the front door 4 is provided with a second direct-loading type product discharge device 6b in order to increase the number of stored products.

In the first direct-loading type product discharging device 6 a, the pusher 7 is moved to the imaginary line position and the pushed-out product 8 is discharged downward through the chute 9 attached to the back surface of the front door 4. Then, it is sent to a payout station provided at a position facing the product outlet of the front door 4 directly or via a transfer device with an elevator (not shown).

The same applies to the case of the second direct-loading type product unloading device 6b, and the product 8 that has been unloaded by releasing the support of the lowermost product 8 ₁ in a state in which the lowering of the _second product 8 ₂ is restricted. It is paid out downward through the chute 9 and is sent to a payout station provided at a position facing the product outlet of the front door 4 directly or via a carrier device (not shown) with an elevator.

However, while the products of the first direct-loading type product discharging device 6a are horizontally stacked, the products are vertically stacked in the second direct-loading type product discharging device 6b. Many products cannot be stored in the direct-loading type product discharge device 6b.

Therefore, as for the second direct-loading type product discharging device 6b, as shown in FIG. 4, it may be considered that the pusher 7 is horizontally stacked so that the pushing direction of the pusher 7 is the short side direction of the product.

[0008]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

In such a conventional configuration, as shown in FIG. 5, when the pusher 7 of the second direct-loading type product discharging device 6a is moved to the virtual line position and the product is discharged, as shown by a broken line in a normal state. Although the product 8 ₀ is paid out through the chute 9, the product 8 ₀ is sometimes clogged with the product at the constricted portion 10 of the chute 9, and the product cannot be paid out to the product outlet.

An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic vending machine with a direct-loading type product discharging device, which can surely allow a product discharged from the second direct-loading type product discharging device 6b to pass through the shoot. To do.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The vending machine with a direct-loading type product unloading device according to claim 1, wherein the front opening of the vending machine body is closed by a front door, and the first direct-loading type product unloading device is installed inside the vending machine body. And a second direct-loading type product unloading device is provided on the back side of the front door, and the products carried out from the first and second direct-loading type product unloading devices are placed on the back side of the front door. In a vending machine that dispenses money through a chute attached to a chute, a flap whose upper end is pivotally supported so that the lower end swings at the entrance of the chute so that the product comes in contact with the product dispensed from the direct-loading type product discharging device It is characterized by

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a vending machine with a direct-loading type product discharging device, wherein a flexible sheet is hung at the entrance of the chute to form a flap.

[0012]

[Action]

 According to the configurations of claims 1 and 2, the product carried out from the direct-loading product carrying-out device comes into contact with the flapper, the tip of the product is changed in posture, and the product passes through the constricted part of the chute.

[0013]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. It should be noted that components having the same functions as those of the conventional example shown in FIGS.

The vending machine of the present invention is configured as shown in FIG. A flap 11 is attached to the entrance of the shoe 9 that guides the products delivered from the first and second direct-loading-type product delivery devices 6a and 6b.

The flap 11 has an upper end pivotally supported by a shaft 12 so that the flap 11 comes into contact with the product to be dispensed and the lower end swings. When the product is dispensed from the first direct stacking type product unloading device 6a, the flap 11 is released. Is rotated from the solid line position shown in FIG. 2 to the imaginary line position, and when the product is dispensed from the second direct stacking type product discharging device 6b, the flap 11 is rotated from the solid line position shown in FIG. 1 to the virtual line position. Then, the flap 11 moves the product posture downwards and sends it to the constricted portion 10 of the chute 9 to clear the jammed product in the constricted portion 10.

In the above-described embodiment, the flap 11 is a metal plate or a synthetic resin plate pivotally supported by the shaft 12, but the same effect can be obtained by suspending a flexible sheet to form the flap 11. Can be expected.

[0017]

[Effect of the device]

 According to the structure described in each claim, in the automatic vending machine which dispenses the product carried out from the first and second direct-loading type product carrying-out devices through the chute attached to the back surface of the front door, At the entrance of the chute, a flap whose upper end is pivoted so that the lower end oscillates in contact with the product discharged from the direct-loading type product discharge device, or a flap in which a flexible sheet is suspended is provided. Therefore, since the flap comes into contact with the tip of the delivered product to correct the posture of the product, it is possible to avoid a situation where the product is jammed in the constricted part of the chute and to expect a reliable dispensing operation.
