Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] (b) Industrial application fields The present invention relates to a display device for a vending machine.

(B) Conventional technology Conventionally, a product sample display device for a vending machine has a panel forming the rear wall of a sample display room in the front, as shown in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application No. 56-37166. 2. Description of the Related Art A configuration is known in which a mirror plate such as a mirror is used, and a large number of products are displayed side by side in front of this mirror plate so that the products can be seen through a flat transparent panel having a transparent part.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention In this conventional configuration, the front panel is flat, and the distance between the front panel and the rear wall of the sample exhibition room is narrow. For this reason, the samples displayed in the sample exhibition room and the fluorescent lights illuminating the samples are placed in a two-dimensional arrangement, and the fluorescent lights illuminate the sides of the samples, making the sample exhibition room dark. Ta. On the other hand, some light is reflected by the mirror plate and illuminates the sample, but since the distance between the mirror plate and the transparent panel is narrow and the transparent panel is a flat plate, the light easily leaks outward from the transparent panel, and inside the sample exhibition room. It is not possible to brighten the area sufficiently, and it is also not possible to sufficiently eliminate shadows that appear on the sample.

Based on these considerations, the present invention was designed to reflect more of the light emitted by the fluorescent lamp between the front panel and the mirror plate, brightening the sample exhibition room, and to avoid creating shadows on the samples. The present invention provides a display device for a vending machine.

(d) Means for solving the problem The display device of the vending machine of the present invention has a mirror plate on the rear wall of the sample display chamber with a see-through panel on the front, and product samples are displayed on the front of the mirror plate. In a vending machine that displays samples and is provided with a lighting device outside the sample display room to illuminate the sample display room, the see-through panel is provided so as to protrude in a hemispherical shape toward the front of the vending machine, and A rotary plate rotated by an electric motor is provided in the exhibition room and protrudes forward from the rear wall of the sample exhibition room, and is positioned opposite to the front surface of the rotary plate to reflect light from the illumination device onto the front surface of the rotary plate. The rotating plate is provided with a reflecting plate, and a reflecting member that diffusely reflects, refracts, or disperses and reflects light is provided on the front surface of the rotary plate.

(e) Effect The light emitted from the lighting device hits the rotating reflective member due to reflection, and while being diffusely reflected, refracted, and dispersed, it hits the hemispherical back surface of the transparent panel in front, and is reflected on this back surface, causing the product to be damaged. The light hits the front of the sample and the mirror plate, causing repeated reflections and scattering within the sample exhibition room, brightening the interior of the sample exhibition room.

(f) Examples Examples of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a vending machine main body, and a door 2 is pivotally supported on the front side so that it can be opened and closed. A panel 4 in which a circular opening 3 is formed is provided at the upper front surface of the door 2. A see-through panel 5 formed in the shape of a hemisphere and made of a see-through transparent material is provided in the opening 3 of the panel 4 so as to protrude from the back side of the panel 4 to the front side. That is, the see-through panel 5 is constructed by inserting the hemispherical body part 5A into the opening 3 from the rear of the panel 4 and protruding it forward, and bringing the peripheral part 5B into contact with the back surface of the panel 4 via the gasket 6 to attach the mounting member 7. At the peripheral part 5
It is installed so as to sandwich B between panel 4,
The opening 3 is closed. Further, on the inner surface of the hemispherical body portion 5A of the transparent panel 5, a linear printing 5C is radially printed from the approximate center of the front end of the protrusion to the peripheral edge 5B of the outer end.
is being carried out. A sample display room 8 for displaying samples S of products for sale is provided inside the door 2 behind the transparent panel 5, and the inside of the sample display room 8 can be seen from the front of the main body 1 through the transparent panel 5. I have to. Also, this sample exhibition room 8
A door panel 9 serving as a rear wall is rotatably supported at one end on the door 2 to enable the interior of the sample exhibition room 8 to be opened and closed. That is, the door panel 9 is provided on the back side of the door 2 so that it can be opened and closed, and by opening the door 2, the inside of the sample exhibition room 8 can be opened and closed. Reference numeral 10 denotes a mirror plate having a mirror surface provided in front of the door panel 9 forming the rear wall of the sample exhibition room 8. Reference numeral 11 denotes a fluorescent lamp as a lighting device for illuminating the inside of the sample exhibition room 8, which is provided on the left and right sides of the sample exhibition room 8, respectively, and a lamp cover 12 is provided between the fluorescent lamp 11 and the sample exhibition room 8. The interior of the sample exhibition room 8 is illuminated through the lamp cover 12. Reference numeral 13 denotes a rotary plate rotated by an electric motor 14 provided at the center of the front surface of the door panel 9, and the front surface is formed with irregularities to diffusely reflect light, or has a prismatic phenomenon that refracts, disperses, and reflects light. Reflective member 1 formed so as to occur
5 is set. In addition, a reflecting plate 16 is provided approximately in the center of the front surface of the rotating plate 13 with a predetermined distance between it and the rotating plate 13, and reflects the light from the fluorescent lamps 11 provided on the left and right sides of the sample exhibition room 8. It is configured so that the light is directly received and reflected by the reflecting member 15. In addition, a plurality of product samples S are displayed radially on the front surface of the mirror plate 10 around the rotary plate 13.

Note that although the rotary plate 13 is normally rotated at a constant speed by the electrodynamic motor 14, the rotational speed of the rotary plate 13 is changed for a predetermined period of time based on the operation of the product selection button 17 during the product sales operation. It is configured as follows. Further, in a vending machine equipped with a game function, a bonus function, etc., the rotation speed of the rotary plate 13 can be changed for a predetermined period of time based on a signal from the functional device.

(g) Effects of the invention As described above, this invention provides a see-through panel in the shape of a hemisphere that protrudes toward the front of the vending machine, and a rotating plate with a reflective member on the front in the sample display room. Since a reflector is provided opposite to the front surface of the rotating plate to reflect the light from the lighting device onto the front surface of the rotating plate, the light emitted from the lighting device is reflected onto the rotating reflecting member by the reflecting plate. It hits the back side of the transparent panel in front while being diffusely reflected or refracted and dispersed, and is reflected off the back side, hits the front of the product sample, and hits the mirror plate, repeating reflections and scattering around the sample exhibition room. This makes the interior of the sample exhibition room extremely bright. Therefore, shadows will not be created on the front of display objects such as product samples and display boards due to light scattering, and clear display can be performed, and it has the effect of enabling illumination with a lighting device that consumes less power. The light reflected from the reflective member provided on the rotary plate produces a unique exhibition effect, which has the effect of attracting the attention of customers.
