[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a product take-out device for a vending machine having a shock absorbing means.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In recent years, vending machines tend to grow in size because many vending machines store a large number of products and varieties, and there are multiple product outlets. For this reason, it is not known to which outlet the product came out, and in order to solve this, for example, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-32946, one outlet should be used. ing.

Hereinafter, an example of a conventional product take-out device for a vending machine will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 4, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body of a vending machine including an insulating box, which has a product storage room 2 at its upper portion. The product storage chamber 2 is provided with an evaporator 3, a fan 4 that circulates the cool air to cool the product, and a column C that stores and discharges the product.

The heat-insulating door 5 that opens and closes the front surface of the main body 1 has a small door 6 at the lower part that is opened by the product discharged from the column C. The product discharged from the column C is guided by a chute 7 to an outlet 8 formed below a door D provided on the front surface of the main body 1. An openable / closable lid 9 that is always closed is attached to the outlet 8 with its upper end pivotally supported. A receiving box 10 for receiving the discharged products 11 is provided below the take-out port 8.

The structure of the product take-out port 8 will be described in more detail. As shown in FIG. 7, the cover 9 is opened from the product storage chamber 2 to prevent theft and tampering. It is mounted inwardly of the inner side of 9 in parallel with the lid 9 and with the upper end pivotally supported. Then, a back plate of the anti-theft plate 12 is provided with a stopper plate 13 for preventing the anti-theft plate 12 from opening too far in the depth direction (right side in FIG. 7).

A tray 14 is provided at the center of the lower part of the receiving box 10. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, inclined plates 15 fixed to both sides inside the receiving box 10 and extending below the receiving tray 14 are provided. A plurality of rollers 16 are attached to the inclined plate 15 by pins or the like (not shown). A product buffer 17 is fixed to the upper part of the tray 14 with an adhesive or the like.

The operation of the product outlet device configured as described above will be described. As shown in the figure, the product 11 discharged from the column C passes through the chute 7, pushes the small door 6 open, and drops into the receiving box 10. The product 11 is moved to the tray 14 provided at the center of the receiving box 10 by the rollers 16 of the inclined plates 15 provided on both sides of the receiving box 10. Therefore, the product take-out port can be one.

[0008]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the above configuration has a problem that the falling sound of the sold product 11 causes the inclined plate 15 and the roller 16 to vibrate or the inclined plate 15 and the tray 14 to vibrate, resulting in a loud sales sound. .

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a product take-out device for a vending machine which has a low sales sound regardless of the drop impact of the sold product and can move the product to the center. Is.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the product take-out device of the vending machine of the present invention is provided with a receiving box for receiving discharged products, and inclined plates are arranged on both sides inside the receiving box. A configuration is provided in which a plurality of rollers are rotatably provided by pins, and the pins of the rollers are held by a holding plate having a spring property. The lower part of the inclined plate is attached to a spring-like mounting plate.

[0011]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, the tilt plate and the roller are restrained from vibrating by the spring retainer plate when the sold product is dropped. Also, it is possible to suppress the vibration of the receiving box, reduce the sound at the time of sale, and move the product to the center of the receiving box.

【Example】

 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A product outlet device for a vending machine according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Further, the same components as those shown in the conventional example are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. 1 and 2 show a product take-out device of a vending machine according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, 10 is a receiving box, and inclined plates 15 are fixed to both sides inside the receiving box 10, The lower portion of the plate 15 extends below the tray 14.

A plurality of rollers 16 are rotatably attached to the inclined plate 15 by pins 17 so that one side surface thereof is exposed. Both ends of the pin 17 are axially pushed and fixed by spring holding plates 18 on both sides of the inclined plate 15.

A spring-like mounting plate 19 is mounted on the receiving box 10, and a lower part of the inclined plate 15 is mounted on the spring-like mounting plate 19. The operation of the product outlet device configured as described above will be described. When the product discharged from the column falls onto the tray 14 as in the conventional example, it is guided by the inclined plate 15 and hits the roller 16. The pin 17 of the roller 16 vibrates due to the drop impact at that time, but since the pin 17 is fixed by the spring holding plate 18, the vibration is absorbed.

Further, although the inclined plate 5 similarly vibrates due to a drop impact, the vibration of the inclined plate 15 is absorbed by the spring-like mounting plate 19 below the inclined plate 15. Therefore, the sales sound is low and the product can be moved to the center of the receiving box 16 regardless of the drop impact of the sold product.

[0016]

[Effect of device]

 As is apparent from the above description of the embodiments, the present invention provides a receiving box for receiving products in the product taking-out section, and provides inclined plates on both sides inside the receiving box, and a plurality of inclined plates are provided on the inclined plates. In the structure provided with rollers, the impact of falling is prevented by adopting a structure in which the pin of the roller is held by a spring-like retainer plate and the lower part of the inclined plate is attached to a spring-like attachment plate. The sales sound can be reduced regardless of the impact of the absorbed and sold goods falling, and the goods can be moved to the center of the receiving box. Moreover, the product is free from scratches and fluffiness, and the quality of the product can be guaranteed, which has a great practical effect.
