Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to an improvement in a vending control circuit for a vending machine.

Conventionally, the coin mechanism installed in vending machines has a test vending switch that puts the coin in the same state as when it was inserted, regardless of whether a coin is inserted, and a change collection switch that collects the coin from the barrel. .

The vending machine manager operated these switches.

However, by inserting a long and thin member such as a wire into the vending machine's product installation slot or coin return slot and operating the switch, it is possible to illegally turn the vending machine into a selling state and obtain products, or manually collect change. Sometimes it happened.

In addition, the manager sometimes forgets to turn the switch, and the lack of change from selling products for free limits the products that can be sold, reducing opportunities to sell them.

The present invention aims to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings showing one embodiment thereof.

In the figure, 1 is a coin mechanism, test sales switch 2. The vending machine is equipped with a change collection switch 3, which is provided on the back side of the vending machine door.

4 is a change purse.

5 is a plug-in outlet, 6 is a plug, and code 7
A door switch 8 is connected to the tip of the vending machine, which is activated by opening and closing the door for opening and closing the front opening of the vending machine.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the plug socket 5 is connected in series to the power supply 9 side of the switches 2 and 3.

10 is a motor for collecting change. In the above configuration, when the plug 6 is connected to the plug outlet 5 and the door switch 8 is opened due to the door being closed, the switches 2 and 3 are operated using a wire or the like from the vending outlet or the gap between the door and the vending machine. However, damage caused by fraud can be prevented because there is no test selling or collection of change.

Also, when replenishing products, etc., if you open the door, the door switch 8
is closed and change collection switch 3. The test sales switch 2 becomes operational.

As is clear from the above embodiments, the vending control circuit for the vending machine of the present invention includes a coin mechanism equipped with a test vending switch and a change collection switch in the vending machine. The switch is capable of being energized via a door switch that is activated when a door provided in the vending machine is opened;
Unless the door is opened, test sales and change collection cannot be performed using both switches, and even if the switch is tampered with with a long thin member such as a wire, it cannot be obtained.

Furthermore, there is no problem even if the administrator forgets to turn off the switch.

Furthermore, since the operation of the test vending switch and change collection switch is prohibited by the door switch, no mechanical force is applied to the switch, so there is no risk of damage to the switch.
