The present invention relates to a vending machine sales method, in particular, when the same product is embedded in more than one column in a vending machine with a number of products are built so that they are sold in a series of orders when selecting the same product, the same product selection A method of selling a vending machine that prevents the product from being sold out.

In a conventional vending machine that sells products such as cans and cigarettes, the same product is mounted in several columns. In this case, the user unconsciously selects a nearby column and concentrates on the column first. Occasionally, the user may have to re-select products mounted on another column, or may be mistaken for the absence of the product, causing sluggish sales. Especially in the case of cold beverage can vending machines, the user is sold out. Since the product of the column has to fill the product from the beginning, there is a problem that can not sell a cool drink with a cooling temperature is low because there is no time to cool compared to the pre-mounted product.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to display the sold out in any one column for the same product when the same product is selected in the vending machine in which the same product is mounted in several columns, so that the column on which the same product is mounted is sold in a series of orders Is to provide a sales method that allows you to sell without being

In order to realize the above object, the present invention provides a price setting switch pressing step of determining whether the price setting switch is pressed;

Setting the same price and judging whether the same price is set;

In the same product judgment step of determining whether the same product is selected, if the same product is selected in the same product determination step, the sales wait step of specifying the corresponding column number, completing the input and waiting for sales, and the coin in the sales waiting step The product selling step of selling the product, judging whether the coin is more than the set price, and determining whether the product is the selling item in the product selling step, selecting the column number, and selecting the column of the sold product. The memory and other columns are queued, and the sales step is to select the same product and sell the next column.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram of the sales method of the vending machine according to the present invention, a product selection unit 1 for selecting a product, a coin machine unit 2 for inserting coins, and the product selection unit 1 A microcomputer 3 for outputting a corresponding signal while judging and comparing a signal of a commodity selected from the preset signal with a change signal carrying unit 4 for receiving a signal output from the microcomputer 3 and exporting change; The product carrying out part 5 which carries out goods, and FIG. 2 is a control flowchart of the sales method applied to this invention, The initialization step 20 which initializes a vending machine by applying power, and the initialization step 20 A price setting switch deciding step 21 for judging whether the price setting switch is depressed in step 21, a price setting step 22 for setting a price if the price setting switch is depressed in the price setting switch deciding step 21, and theIf the price is set in the price setting step 22, the same price setting step 23 determines whether the same price is set, and if the same price is set in the same price setting step 23, the same product is selected. The same product selection determination step 24 for determining whether there is a same product, a corresponding column number designation step 25 for designating a corresponding column number if the same product is selected in the same product selection determination step 24, and the corresponding column number designation If the corresponding column number is specified in the step 25, the input completed step 26 to complete the input, and the sales consisting of the sales waiting step 27 to wait for the sale when the input is completed in the input completion step 26 Input step (a), coin input judging step 28 for judging whether or not the coin was put in the sales waiting step 27 of the sales input step (a), and coin input in the coin input judging step 28 If it is It is determined whether or not the input coin is more than the set price input judgment step (29), and the input more than the set price coin in the input judgment step 29 above the set price, and the commodity export step (export) 30) commodity selling step (b), the commodity selling step (b) that determines whether the commodity sold in the commodity selling step (b) is the commodity, and the commodity determining step (31) The column determination step 32 determines whether the product to be sold is the first column, and the first column storage step 33 to store the first sales column when the product sold in the column determination step 32 is the first column. And the second column waiting step 34 for waiting for the second column, and the second column memory step 35 for storing the second column if the product sold in the column determining step 32 is not the first column. And a first column waiting step 36 for waiting for the first column; In the first and second column waiting and storing steps (33-36), the same product selection step (37) for selecting the same product in the sales memory and standby state, and if the same product is selected and sold in the same product selection step (37) Same column selling step (c), the same price setting step 23, and the same product selection step 24, which consists of the next column selling step 38 to sell the next column is the same as the same price If the product is not selected, the product selling step 39 is performed.

Referring to the effects of the present invention made as described above are as follows.

First, when power is supplied to the vending machine, the microcomputer 3 of the vending machine goes to the initialization step 20 and all the selling operation states are in the initializing state.

Subsequently, when the user inputs a coin corresponding to a desired product through the coin machine part 2 and presses a switch for selecting a product in the product selection unit 1, the microcomputer 3 presses the price setting switch decision step 21. Go to to determine whether the product selection switch of the product selection unit (1) is pressed, if not pressed at this time to the initialization step (20), if the product selection switch is pressed in the microcomputer (3) to the price setting step (22) Then go to set the price corresponding to the pressed switch, and then go to the same price setting judgment step 23 in the micom (3) determines whether the set price is the same price, and if the same price is set, the micom (3) In the same product selection decision step 24, it is determined whether the same product is selected at the same price. After the product is selected, the microcomputer 3 goes to the corresponding column number designation step 25 and designates the selected corresponding column number, goes to the input completion step 26, completes the input state and goes to the sales wait step 27 to be sold. The goods will be waiting. Meanwhile, if the same product is not selected at the same price in the same price setting decision step 23 and the same product selection decision step 24, the microcomputer 3 goes to the normal product selling step 39 to sell the product. Will be. In other words, this means that a product in which the same product is mounted in more than one column is not selected.

On the other hand, while waiting for the merchandise to be sold in the sales waiting step 27, the microcomputer 3 goes to the coin input judging step 28 to control the coin machine part 2 to determine whether the coin has been injected. If no coin is inserted, the microcomputer 3 goes to the sales wait step 27 and maintains a sales waiting state. If the coin is inserted, the microcomputer 3 inputs the set price or more at a predetermined price 29 Go to to determine whether the coin has been put more than the set price coin at this time, if the coin is more than the set price, the microcomputer (3) to go to the goods export step (30) to control the product export unit (5) The goods will be taken out.

However, if the coin is not input more than the set price go to the coin input judging step 28 waits for the coin to be input.

As described above, in the state in which the coin is input and the product can be taken out, the microcomputer 3 goes to the product judging step 31 to determine whether the product to be exported is the corresponding product, and in the microcomputer 3, the column judging step 32 Go to) and determine whether the column corresponding to the product to be sold is the first column. If the column corresponding to the product to be sold is the first column, the microcomputer 3 goes to the first column selling memory step 33. The first column sold is memorized, and the second column goes to the sales waiting stage 34 to maintain the second column in the sales standby state.

On the other hand, if the column corresponding to the product to be sold in the column determination step 32 is not the first column, the microcomputer 3 goes to the second column sales storage step 35 and stores the second column sold. 1 Go to the column sales waiting step (36) and sell the product while keeping the first column in the sales standby state, and then go to the same product selection step (37) and sell the goods if the same product is selected, and then sell the next column (38). Go to) and select the next column to sell the product.

As described above, the present invention is a vending machine mounted on one or more columns of the same product, when the same product is selected so that the one or more columns are sold in a series order, any one mounted with the same product This will provide the effect of preventing the column from being sold out early.
