Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a door structure of a vending machine, and more particularly to a vending machine having a product loading section at the top.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As shown in an example in FIG. 2, the door of a conventional vending machine is generally composed of an outer door 1 equipped with a product sample, a board, a money sorting mechanism, a control unit, etc., and an inner door 2 containing a heat insulating material. The inner door 2 is constructed and is used for keeping the product storage 3 surrounded by a heat insulating material cold and warm.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 When filling a product into such a vending machine, first open the large outer door that covers the entire vending machine, then open the inner door 2 for the inside of the warehouse and fill it from the product inlet 4. The work of opening and closing two fairly large doors is troublesome, and the inner door 2 must be fully opened even though the charging port required for filling is a part of the upper part, thus keeping the inside cold and warm. In addition, with vending machines installed facing the road, it is difficult to do filling work with the door open, and in particular vending machines are becoming larger. At present, this problem cannot be ignored.

The object of the present invention is to automatically open and close the door when filling the product, and even if the door is opened, it does not affect the cold insulation and heat retention effect in the refrigerator, and the product filling work does not obstruct the passage. To get the door structure of the vending machine.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is an automatic vending machine equipped with a product inlet on the upper part of the main body, wherein an outer door and a heat-insulating inner door provided on the front of the main body are respectively provided with the product inlet. It is divided into an upper door part to cover and a lower door part to cover the rest of the surface area, and a product sample display section is placed on the lower outer door part of the outer door, and the upper and outer door parts of the outer door and the inner door. The upper inner door portion of each of the above is provided so as to be opened upward from the main body.

[0006]

[Action]

 In the present invention, by opening only the small upper and lower doors and the upper inner door that cover the product inlet, only the product inlet can be opened and the product can be filled. Therefore, it is easy to open the door when filling products, and the cold storage and heat storage effects are not impaired. Moreover, since the upper and outer door portions and the upper and inner door portions are opened upwards and can be opened above the main body, there is no obstruction to traffic in front of the vending machine. Moreover, since the product sample display section is provided on the lower outer door section, the upper and outer door sections can be downsized to the same size as the upper and inner door sections, further facilitating the opening operation.

[0007]

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Reference numeral 10 is a main body of the vending machine, 11 is a product storage box surrounded by a heat insulating material, 12 is a product insertion slot provided on the upper part of the product storage box 11, 13 is a general product insertion slot facing the product insertion slot 12 It is a loading door that is sized to cover only the part and that can be opened and closed by the hinge mechanism 14 in this case. The upper inner door portion 13b consisting of is attached.

Below the loading door 13, a lower outer door portion 17 and a lower inner door portion 22 are provided for the main body 10 and the product storage 11 to cover the remaining surface areas covered by the loading door 13, respectively. Has been. Of these, the lower outer door portion 17 is provided with a sample product 18, a push button 19, a coin slot 20, a product outlet 21 and the like on the front side, and although not shown inside, a coin mech and a control unit are provided. Etc. are equipped. Further, the lower inner door portion 22 is formed of a heat insulating material and keeps the inside of the refrigerator cold and warm together with the upper inner door portion 13b.

As described above, since the signboard 16 as a vending machine is provided on the upper outer door portion 13a and the display section of the sample product 18 is arranged toward the lower outer door portion 17, The door portion 13a can be made substantially the same size as the upper inner door portion 13b and can be downsized, and the loading door 13 can be opened easily. . By the way, the loading door 13 is normally pulled down and closed, and the product inlet 12 is closed by the upper inner door portion 13b of the loading door 13. When trying to fill the product, the small loading door 13 is lifted upward, and the hinge mechanism 14 easily opens it upward to open the product insertion port 12, and the product is opened from the insertion port 12 (see the figure). Cans in the example) can be filled. Further, by integrally forming the upper outer door portion 13a and the upper inner door portion 13b as in this embodiment, the opening can be further opened by one touch. In this case, since the upper and outer door portions 13a and 13b of the loading door 13 which are integrated with each other are of the upward opening type, they are positioned above the main body when opened, and the sidewalk in front of the vending machine, etc. It does not stick out to the traffic space area in and does not interfere with traffic during product filling. Further, at the time of product filling, the loading door 13 can be opened while the lower outer door portion 17 and the lower inner door portion 22 are closed, so that the communication between the inside of the product storage and the outside world is kept to the minimum necessary at the product insertion port 14 portion. be able to. Further, when there is a trouble during the product filling and the inside of the product storage is inspected, the lower outer door portion 17 and the lower inner door portion 22 can be opened regardless of the loading door.

When it is necessary to carry out management and maintenance other than product filling, such as collection of money from a coin mech and data processing of the control unit, it suffices to open the lower outer door portion 17, and at that time open and close the loading door 13. Since the product input port 12 is not needed, the product input port 12 will not be opened. The product sales function is the same as the conventional one.

[0011]

[Effect of device]

 According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. (1) The outer door and the inner door of the conventional vending machine are divided into two parts, the upper and lower door parts and the upper and inner door parts are placed on the upper part. Since it can be made large enough to cover the mouth, it is easy to open and close the small door when filling the product, simply by opening and closing the small door. (2) Since only the product inlet is exposed to the outside when the product is filled, it does not affect the cold and heat retaining effect in the storage. (3) When the product is filled, it only opens the upper and outer door parts and the inner door part upward, so there is no obstruction to traffic.
