Since the packing portion has a rectangular shape of a soft elastic body, a space between the main body and the main door is sealed by the surface of the soft portion. Most of the rainwater can be blocked by this seal portion, but the rainwater that has infiltrated due to various reasons is designed to drop to the trough portion below the seal support body and be discharged to the outside of the machine.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above-described configuration, when the gap between the main body and the main door increases due to variations, or the rectangular tubular packing portion on the upper portion of the seal support body cracks or deteriorates with time. If this happens, it will be difficult to completely drain all the rainwater that will fully infiltrate in the gutters below the seal support, and it will infiltrate into the main door, causing damage to electrical parts and electrical leakage. In some cases, it was evaporated by sunlight and vaporized on the inner surface of the signboard, which could prevent effective display of the contents. Also, when the main door is opened, rainwater left on the upper part of the main body falls from the front of the main body opening when the packing part on the main door side disappears and splashes on the head of the operator who operates the vending machine. However, the inside of the vending machine had to be wet with rainwater, which was inconvenient.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a rainwater seal and drainage device for a vending machine that does not drop rainwater when the main door is open and reduces the amount of rainwater intrusion when the packing part deteriorates. is there.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, a rainwater seal and drainage device of a vending machine according to the present invention have a substantially U-shaped mounting member disposed above a front opening of a vending machine body, The main door has an outer surface upper surface, a rear surface flange, a main body outer surface upper portion, and a soft elastic body that comes into contact with the main body inner surface upper portion, and is integrally formed.

With the above-described structure, the present invention is mounted in the front opening of the main body of the vending machine, and the soft elastic body and the upper outer surface of the main door, the upper outer surface of the main body, and the upper opening of the main door and the upper opening of the main body are sealed by the packing portion. It is possible to significantly reduce the infiltration of rainwater as compared with the conventional method, and it is possible to prevent the rainwater remaining on the upper part of the main body from dropping when the main door is opened.

Embodiment Hereinafter, a rainwater seal and a drainage device of a vending machine according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a partially sectional perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention when the main door of the vending machine is opened, and FIG. 2 is an embodiment of the present invention when the main door of the vending machine is opened. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the main part of the present invention when the main door of the vending machine is closed.

A U-shaped bent front flange 1a is formed at the upper portion of the front opening of the main body 1. Main door 2 screwed to body 1
Is composed of an outer surface upper portion 2a, a rear surface flange 2b, and a trough portion 2c forming a U-shaped rainwater passage, and the trough portion 2c is arranged so as to be located below the front surface flange 1a of the main body 1. A mounting member 3 having a substantially U-shape is provided so as to be fitted and mounted on the front surface flange 1a of the main body 1, and a packing portion 3a made of a soft elastic body having a rectangular tube shape is formed on the front surface of the mounting portion 3. There is. At the upper part of the packing part 3a, there are provided a first seal part 3b of a soft elastic body which extends forward from the mounting member 3 and contacts the upper part 2a of the outer surface of the main door 2, and a rear part of the first seal part 3b. Has a second seal portion 3c of a soft elastic body that comes into contact with the outer surface upper portion 1b of the main body 1, and a soft elastic member that comes into contact with the inner surface upper portion 1c of the main body 1 at the end of the approximately U-shaped mounting portion 3. The third sealing portion 3d of the body is provided and the mounting member 3 is integrally molded. 4 is a hinge.

Next, the operation of the rainwater seal and the drainage device of the vending machine in the configuration of this embodiment will be described.

In the figure, the front flange 1a above the front opening of the main body 1
