By the way, when selling the packaged product 3, the door 4
In the open state, the packaged product 3 that is at the eye level of the person taking it out is taken out, and the packaged product 3 placed on the upper and lower shelves, that is, the one position shelf that is relatively difficult to take out, tends to remain. . After the packaged products are removed, new packaging parts are added one after another, but the packaged products at the top, bottom, and deep inside remain for a long period of time, which is particularly undesirable when selling beverage products. .

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a packaged product vending machine in which a large number of stored packaged products are sequentially taken out, and no packaged products remain for a long period of time. be.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a storage cabinet with a plurality of vertically long loop chains on the left and right sides, a plurality of support members on the outer periphery of the loop chains, and a plurality of support members of the left and right loop chains. The packaged products are supported as a pair, so that the packaged products are held in multiple tiers and in a state where they are lined up one after the other, and the packaged products are supported by rotating each of the loop tunes together. A means for stopping each loop chain by detecting transfer of the lowermost packaged product to the dispensing device; This is a packaged product vending machine that has a means for detecting all of the packaged products delivered to the device and driving each loop chain.Based on this configuration, a large number of packaged products in multiple stages can be sequentially taken out. Therefore, it is useful from a hygienic point of view, since there is no possibility that certain parts remain for a long period of time, and reliable operation can be expected.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the sewage invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

In the figure, reference numeral 6 denotes a cabinet main body, and a door 7 having a window glass in the front part so that the inside can be seen through is provided so that it can be opened and closed in a double-folding manner.

Four loop chains 10 that cooperate with each other are disposed on the left and right sides of the front and rear parts of the interior.

The loop chain 10 is connected to the cabinet body 6, respectively.
It is installed between the gears 11 provided at the upper and lower parts of the inside, and forms a vertically long loop as a whole, and is provided so that the outer surface of the long side of the vertically long loop faces left and right. An L-shaped support member 1 is provided on the outer surface of each loop chain 10 so that a support piece projects in a direction perpendicular to the outer surface.
2 are fixed at equal intervals and continuous to the loop chain at the rear of the loop chain. The support members 12 in each loop chain 10 are related to each other so that they have the same height position.

At a position slightly above the lower end of the loop chain 1o,
Moreover, a delivery device 13 is installed between the left and right loose chains 10, 10. This delivery device 13 includes a pair of left and right rail-shaped holding members 14°14, and this holding member 14.
It consists of a plurality of transfer rollers 15 arranged one behind the other, and each transfer roller 16 is provided at a position gradually lower than the one in front I7L. A take-out portion 16 is provided on the forward extension of the delivery device 13. This extraction part 1
Reference numeral 6 is located at the front of the cabinet body 6, and the upper part is open. Note that there is a window 17 on the front side of the gear vignette main body 6 that allows the transfer of articles from above the delivery device 13 to the take-out section 16.
has been established.

Rotation is transmitted from the motor 9 to the loop chain 1o by gears 1B, 19.20 and chain 21. In this embodiment, transmission is transmitted from gear 19 to chain 21 to the right loop chain 10, and gear 1 is transmitted to the left loop chain 1o.
'9, a gear 2o for reversing is interposed and the chain 21 is used for transmission. Therefore, the right loop chain 1° rotates counterclockwise, while the left and right loop chains 10 rotate clockwise.

Both ends of the packaged product 22 are placed on each support member 12.12 of the corresponding side portion of the left and right loop chain 10.10, that is, the packaged product 22 is bridged on the left and right support members 12.12. supported. Furthermore, a plurality of packaged products 22 are lined up front and back on the support member 12°12.

The sending device 13 includes a sensor 23 for detecting the state in which the packaged product 22 has been transferred onto the sending device 13 and stopping the drive of the motor 9, and a sensor 23 for stopping the drive of the motor 9 when the packaged product 22 is no longer on the sending device 13. A sensor 24 is provided to detect the state and drive the motor 9.

In this embodiment, two sets of the above-mentioned constituent mechanisms are provided on the left and right sides. In the above configuration, vertically long left and right loop chains 10.
A number of packaged goods 22 are placed on each support member 12.12 on opposite sides of 10. In this embodiment, there are eight stages, five of which are arranged in the depth direction, and
Since these are two sets, left and right, 80 packaged products 22 are accommodated.

Here, the first group of packaged products 22 is transferred onto the rolling opening 16 of the advancing device 13. This reloading is performed by moving the supporting member 12.12, which was supporting the group of packaged products 22 at the lowest stage, downward by the rolling roller 15''. At this time, sen≠2
3 detects this and stops the motor 9, and each loop chain 10 is stopped.

Since the lowermost package products 22 that are being transferred onto the transfer rollers 15 are located at a lower position as the rolling rollers 15 are closer to the front, a force to move them forward due to their own weight is applied to them. The packaged product 22 at the forefront is pushed out into the take-out section 16.

Next, when the packaged product 22 is taken out from the removal section 16, the rear packaged product 22 is placed in the empty space created there.
is pushed out. When all of the packaged products 22 at the bottom are taken out in this manner, the sensor 24 detects this and rotates the motor 9. The rotation of the motor 9 causes the right loop chain 10 to move counterclockwise and the left loop chain 10 to move clockwise to move the packaged products in the upper row downward. When the lower group of packaged products 22 is transferred onto the transfer roller 15, the motor e is stopped by the sensor 23. Depending on what actions are performed in sequence, the packaged product group will be better than the previous one in the lower row.

The later ones and the upper ones are taken out in sequence, so that packages in specific locations do not remain for a long period of time. Therefore, it is particularly effective as a vending machine for nutritional drinks, etc., which have a limited shelf life. Also,
The delivery of the packaged product to the take-out section in the vending machine uses the inclination of the roller group to send out the product by its own weight, so a power mechanism for the delivery is not required and the structure is simplified.

Note that as the packaged products are taken out one by one, an empty space will be created above.
Supplement Kuji products. Further, in this embodiment, a nutritional drink packaged product has been described, but the present invention can also be used for storing and selling other packaged products.

Further, in the above embodiment, the delivery device is configured using a so-called roller control roller, but this delivery device is configured using a timing belt, and a so-called belt is used.
It may also be sent forward.

In this case, the timing belt detects when a packaged product is taken out from the takeout section, and is driven by the motor to drive only the front and back of one packaged product.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the above embodiments, according to the present invention, a large number of stored packaged products can be sequentially taken out from the slope,
Items in the draft storage area do not remain for long periods of time, making it suitable for storing and selling nutritional drinks and foods, for example.
