In addition, the vending machine of the present invention is provided with a height sensor 153 in the trash can 151 detects the amount of garbage discarded in the trash can 151 can transmit a text message to the administrator if a certain height or more.

7 to 9, a vending machine for a bus stop in the middle lane according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The vending machine of the second embodiment has a form in which the trash can unit 250 is built into the vending machine main body 101, compared to the vending machine of the first embodiment. The difference is that they are configured to send text messages.

Therefore, in the description of the second embodiment, the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment will be described in the drawings for the same configuration as the vending machine of the first embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted.

The trash can unit 250 of the present embodiment includes a trash can 251, an open / close door 252, a compression motor 253, a screw rod 254, a pressure plate 255, and a height sensor 256.

The trash can 251 is installed at the lower right side of the vending machine main body 101 'in a cylindrical shape having an opening formed at one side thereof. At this time, the front surface of the trash can 251 is formed so as to form a contour of the side of the vending machine main body 101 '.

The opening / closing door 252 is rotatably installed on the upper side of the opening by a hinge h to open the opening by an external force, and closes the opening by its own weight when the external force is removed.

The compression motor 253 is installed in the center of the upper surface of the trash can 251, the rotating shaft of the compression motor 253 is configured to project through the trash can 251.

The screw rod 254 is a long rod-shaped with a thread formed on the outer surface, it is disposed in the trash can 251 along the vertical length direction. One side of the screw rod 254 is coupled to the rotating shaft of the compression motor 253, the other side is rotatably connected to the center of the bottom surface of the trash can 251.

The pressure plate 255 is installed in the horizontal direction on the inner surface of the trash can 251, the screw rod 254 is penetrated, the screw is coupled. Therefore, the pressure plate 255 is configured to be maintained in a horizontal state by the forward / reverse rotation of the screw rod 254 and to be moved up and down in the bin (251).

The height sensor 256 is installed at a predetermined height of the trash can 251 and detects that the trash can is stacked up to the height of the height sensor 256, and outputs a detection signal to the controller 160. However, in the present embodiment, the height sensor 256 is not always operated, but ON / OFF is controlled by the controller 160.

The height sensor 256 is composed of an infrared sensor, is installed on the outer surface of the trash can 251 to secure the moving space of the pressure plate 255 to move up and down in the trash can 251. In this case, a through hole 251 a is formed in the waste bin 251 so that infrared light of the height sensor 256 is emitted into the inside of the waste bin 251 through the through hole 251 a.

On the other hand, the height sensor 256, but the infrared sensor consisting of the light emitting unit and the light receiving unit is used, but any configuration that can detect the height of the waste may be applied.

The control unit 160 ′ of the present embodiment rotates the compression motor 253 forward to move the pressure plate 255 downward to compress the waste accumulated in the waste bin 251, and then rotates the compression motor 253 in reverse to press the plate. 255) to the original position, that is, a position higher than the hinge axis h. Thereafter, the controller 160 ′ turns on the height sensor 256, emits infrared rays from the height sensor 256, and the height of the garbage compressed by the pressure plate 255 is the height sensor. Detects if the height is higher than 256).

If the height sensor 256 generates a detection signal, the control unit 160 ′ passes the trash can to the mobile communication terminal (mobile phone, smartphone, PDA, tablet PC, etc.) possessed by the administrator through the text transmitting unit 166. Send a notification text message requesting to be emptied.

On the other hand, the control unit 160 ′ may periodically and / or reversely rotate the compression motor 253 to compress the garbage contained in the trash can 251. In this case, the operating cycle of the compression motor 253 is preferably 10 minutes to 1 hour intervals, more preferably 30 minutes.

As described above, the present invention periodically controls the control unit 160 ′ to drive the compression motor 253 so that the pressure plate 255 can compress the garbage, and then operate the height sensor 256, the height sensor 256. When a detection signal is generated from), it is configured to send a notification text message to the administrator. Therefore, the administrator can see the alarm message to empty the trash can not only maintain the vending machine 100 is well maintained to maintain cleanliness, it is possible to extend the cycle of the administrator emptying the garbage by the garbage compression function.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that many changes and modifications of the present invention can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims. Accordingly, all such appropriate modifications and changes, and equivalents thereof, should be regarded as within the scope of the present invention.
