A central processing unit which is electrically connected and operated according to the read data and the received signal and controls the components, a storage unit which is electrically connected to the central processing unit to store final data, and is electrically connected to the central processing unit A card payment device having an item selection button for transmitting a price signal of the selected item; It is achieved by a vending machine characterized in that the card can be used as a payment for goods by the card payment device.

Hereinafter, a vending machine according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a front view of a vending machine to which a card payment device is applied according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram schematically illustrating a configuration of a conventional card payment device applied to a vending machine according to the present invention.

1 and 2, the vending machine 10 according to the present invention is equipped with a card payment device 20 in a conventional vending machine.

The card payment device 20 includes a guide rail 21, a feeding / unfeeding roller 22, a driving motor 23, first and second detection sensors 24 and 25, a read head 26 and an eraser. The head 27, the recording head 28, the central processing unit 29, the storage unit 30, and the display unit 31 are constituted.

The guide rails 21 are formed so that both ends of the card are slidably assembled and fed or unfeeded, and both ends thereof are bent to have a C shape, and a card entrance and exit 21a is formed at one end thereof, and the card entrance and exit 21a. The first sensing sensor 24 and the feeding / unfeeding roller 22 is installed on the side.

The first detecting sensor 24 is mounted at the upper predetermined position on the card inlet / outlet 21 side to detect whether one end of the card 40 is introduced through the card inlet / outlet 21. Is a cylindrical roller pair made of rubber having a high coefficient of friction and excellent elasticity and is rotatably symmetrically installed at a predetermined interval rearward from the first detection sensor 24 so as to be rotatable. Silver is installed smaller than the thickness of the card 40 to feed or unfeed the card 40 is introduced through the card inlet and outlet 21a along the guide rail (21).

The driving motor 23 is connected to the pulley of the feeding / unfeeding roller 22 by a driving belt to rotate the feeding / unfeeding roller 22 in opposite directions to guide the card 40 to the guide rail 21. Feed or unfeed accordingly.

In the rear of the feeding / unfeeding roller 22, the read head 26, the erasing head 27, and the recording head 28 are sequentially spaced at predetermined intervals and are provided above the guide rail 21.

The read head 26 reads the data recorded in the recording section of the card 40 fed along the guide rail 21 by the feeding / unfeeding roller 22, and the erasing head 27 reads the card 40. The data recorded in the recording section of the recording medium is erased, and the recording head 28 writes new data into the recording section of the card 40 from which data has been erased.

A second detection sensor 25 is installed above the rear end of the guide rail 21 to detect that the front end of the card 40 fed along the guide rail 21 is reached.

The central processing unit 29 includes first and second detection sensors 24 and 25, a driving motor 23, a read head 26, an erase head 27, a recording head 28, a display unit 31, It is electrically connected to the article selection button 41 and the recording unit 30 to control the operation of the components and the like.

The card payment device 20 having the above configuration is embedded in the vending machine 10 such that the card entrance and exit 21a is disposed at a predetermined position on the front side of the vending machine 10.

In the vending machine 10 according to the present invention having the configuration as described above, when the card 40 is inserted into the card inlet and outlet 21a to purchase goods, the first detection sensor 24 stops the input of the card 40. The sensing signal is transmitted to the central processing unit 29.

The central processing unit 29 receiving the detection signal feeds the card 40 along the guide rail 21 by rotating the feeding / unfeeding roller 22 in the forward direction by driving the driving motor 22 in the forward direction. Let's do it. When the card 40 is fed along the guide rail 21 as described above, the readhead 26 reads the data recorded in the recording unit of the card 40 and transmits the data to the central processing unit 29. The erasing head 27 erases the data of the recording unit on which reading is completed.

As described above, the data read by the read head 26 is temporarily stored in the central processing unit 29, and the balance of the card 40 is displayed on the display unit 31, and the consumer selects the article selection button 41. When the article is pressed to select the article, the central processing unit 29 subtracts the amount of the corresponding article from the balance of the arbitrarily stored data according to the selection signal, and the remaining amount of the article is subtracted by the recording head 28 from the card ( At the same time as recording in the recording section 40, the transaction data as described above is stored in the recording section 30, displayed on the display section 31, and the selected article is discharged to the outlet.

If the balance of the card 40 is less than the amount of the goods or there is no item corresponding to the balance of the card 40, the central processing unit 29 does not operate the goods supply device of the vending machine 10, The remaining balance of 40 is displayed on the display unit 31 and the card 40 is unfeeded and discharged to inform the user that the remaining balance of the card 40 is insufficient.

According to the present invention described above, by attaching a card payment device to a common vending machine having a coin and bill payment device has the effect of paying for the goods with a card that is easy to carry and use, the present invention is a specific It will be appreciated that the public phone card, IC card and credit card can be used in a comprehensive way, not limited to the card.
