Cup Dispenser of Dispenser for Vending Machine

The present invention relates to a cup dispenser of a dispenser for a vending machine. In particular, a cup dispenser for a vending machine dispenser can reduce the outer radius of the vending machine and reduce the appearance of the vending machine. Relates to a dispenser.

In general, a vending machine is an unmanned vending machine. If a product such as coffee, tobacco, sweets, books, etc. is provided therein, the user inputs an amount corresponding to the product to be purchased, and then selects a desired product. A vending machine in which a selected product is discharged to an outlet.

The internal structure of the vending machine that sells tea / beverage, etc. in the conventional conventional vending machine, as shown in Figure 1, the main body 10 forming the appearance of the vending machine, and stores raw materials such as coffee or tea The raw material container 12 mounted inside the main body 10, the raw material supply part 5 for supplying the raw material stored in this raw material container 12, and the movement of the raw material supplied from this raw material supply part 5 are carried out. The raw material chute 14 installed in the lower part of the raw material supply part 5 to guide, the raw material guided through the raw material chute 14 and the hot water supplied from the hot water supply part 6 are mixed, and then the beverage discharge part through the nozzle ( 8) the beverage mixing unit 7 to be discharged to, and the dispenser 16 is provided on one side of the main body 10 to supply a cup to receive and sell the beverage discharged to the beverage dispensing unit (8) And, rotatably installed on the front of the main body 10, the selection of goods According to the door assembly 18 and the like to be able to perform the sale.

Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the dispenser 16 has a cup case 161 in which a plurality of cups are stacked in a row, and can be arranged at a predetermined angle, and the cup case 161 is provided at an upper portion thereof. The cup dispenser 162 may be discharged to the beverage dispensing unit 8 one by one by a control signal of a controller (not shown) and installed on one side of the main body 10 to be able to rotate forward.

The cup dispenser 162 is coupled to the guide bracket 162d and the first base assembly 162e on which the C ring 162a and the gears 162b and 162c are installed. The second base assembly 162k provided with the one microswitch 162f, the cam assembly 162g, the geared motor 162h, the second microswitch 162i, and the hold 162j is coupled to the second base assembly. At the lower side, a dread motor 162L, a cam gear unit 162m, a bracket 162n, and a cup discharge guide 162p are coupled, while the second base assembly is connected to the hinge assembly 162q of the main body 10. It is rotatably installed on the inner side.

Here, the hinge assembly 162q accommodates a fixing bracket 162q1 fixed to the main body 10, bushes 162q2 and 162q3 disposed above and below the fixing bracket, and washers 162q4 disposed below. A body 162q6 rotatably installed through the hinge shaft 162q5 in one state, and a base fixing bracket 162q8 fixed to the front side of the body and fixed to the front surface of the second base assembly 162k; It is fixed to the lower portion of the fixing bracket includes a stopper (162q9) to control the rotation of the body.

Therefore, when a coin is input through the coin inlet provided in the door assembly 18, whether or not the coin is inputted through the coin mechanism and the input amount is detected, and a corresponding detection signal is provided to the controller.

The control unit generates a control signal for displaying the input amount according to the detection signal from the coin mechanism, and generates a control signal for indicating the product sales possible state if the input amount exceeds the sale amount of the product. The input amount of money input to the vending machine and the product sales possible state are displayed by the display control signal from the control unit.

Next, when the user confirms the saleable state of the vending machine displayed through the display unit, and then selects a desired product by pressing a selection button provided in the product selection unit, a corresponding button signal is provided from the product selection unit to the controller. The controller generates a control signal for supplying and mixing the raw material and hot water of the product selected by the user by the button signal from the product selection unit.

By the supply control signal from the controller, the cups in the cup case 161 of the dispenser 16 are separated one by one by the cam gear unit 162m and discharged to the beverage dispensing unit 8 through the bracket 162p. In the locked state, the raw material is supplied from the raw material container 12 through the raw material supply unit 5, and then supplied to the beverage mixing unit 7 via the raw material chute 14, from the control unit. Hot water is supplied from the hot water supply unit 6 to the beverage mixing unit 7 by the supply control signal of the.

Then, the raw material supplied from the raw material container 12 and the hot water supplied from the hot water supply unit 6 are mixed in the beverage mixing unit 7 by the mixing control signal from the control unit 3, and then through the nozzle. By being dispensed to the beverage dispensing unit 8, the user can purchase a desired product through the vending machine.

On the other hand, if there is no cup in the cup case 161, the micro switch 162f receives a signal and the cup case 161 is rotated by a predetermined angle by the cam assembly 162g and the geared motor 162h. The loaded cup will be discharged.

However, when there is no cup in the cup case 161, the micro switch 162i sends a signal to the control unit to stop selling.

When the manager determines that there is no cup, when the dispenser 16 is rotated forward about the hinge axis 162q5 of the hinge assembly 162q, it is rotated forward by an angle and then stopped by the stopper 162q9. do.

At this time, if the cups are stacked in a row in the cup case 161 and then rotated to their original positions, the cups can be discharged to a state of being on sale.

However, the hinge assembly is composed of a plurality of parts, the assembly is complicated, not only the productivity is lowered, but also the rotation range is wide, taking up a lot of space, it was difficult to slim down.

The present invention is devised to solve the above problems, by applying a hinge-like configuration of the dispenser hinge, it can reduce the radius of rotation can reduce the appearance of the vending machine, as well as fewer parts An object of the present invention is to provide a cup dispenser of a dispenser for a vending machine that can improve productivity because of excellent assembly.

The present invention for achieving the above object, in the cup dispenser of the dispenser for the vending machine having a hinge assembly rotatably installed in one end is fixed to the main body and the other end of the cup case is installed, the hinge The assembly is characterized by consisting of a fixed bracket fixed to one side of the main body, and a plate-shaped rotating bracket fixed to the second base assembly while being rotatably installed via a hinge pin on the front edge of the fixed bracket. .
