The present invention relates to a product carrying device of a vending machine suitable for selling long thin thin goods such as gum.

Conventionally, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-99274, goods stacked and stacked in a goods storage shelf are reciprocated by a crank mechanism with a link arm serving as a pusher, and then the goods are shipped out one by one from the lowest. An apparatus has been proposed.

In the above-described conventional apparatus, only one product is dispensed by the pusher's fluctuation, but it is also known that the two products are alternately dispensed by the pusher's single reciprocating motion.

However, in the above-described alternate dispensing method, two rows of products are stacked and stored in the product storage column, and product outlets are provided at both sides of the lower part of the product storage column. Therefore, when one product is in the process of discharging, it is necessary to attach a preventive means for preventing the other product from being pushed out obliquely from the product outlet as a process of falling to the lowest position, which is the next sales position.

In addition, when a plurality of product storage columns of a two-line product shift payment system are installed in the main body in the lateral direction from the front, a common product drop passage for discharging a product having a space portion between adjacent product storage columns is provided. do.

Therefore, from the point of view of increasing the number of items stored, it is better to provide the goods storage column with a space between them, and one of the goods storage column is equipped with a product drop prevention mechanism, so securing the space is a problem. It is not desirable to increase the size.

This paper has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to install a large number of product storage columns by providing a product drop prevention mechanism that does not occupy a small space. An object of the present invention is to provide a vending machine product release device that can be improved.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present paper stacks the goods in two rows and stores the goods storage column having product outlets on both sides of the lower part, and the base for mounting the goods installed below the product storage column, and the rotation of the motor. In a vending machine having a link arm for product dispensing of a lower bearing, which is converted into a reciprocating motion through the crank mechanism and discharges goods one by one from the bottom alternately at the product extrusion part of the distal end. The product extrusion part of the dispensing link arm forms the shape of a line by matching each product with a line, and when selling one product, a guide is provided to prevent the fall from the product outlet by accepting the next selling product that descends from the other side. A pair is installed, and these two guards are joined together by a link, and the guards are horizontally attached to the base when moving. After completion of the sales, it is configured to be accommodated in the goods storage column by rotating in the direction of 90 degrees along the corner surface of the base.

The operation of the present article configured as described above is that the product to be sold is placed on the base, and the next product to be sold is placed on the link dispensing arm. On the other hand, the guard is kept horizontally on the base on the sale product side and rotates 90 degrees downward on the next sale product side.

When the link arm for dispensing a product is moved by the sales command, both the kids perform the reverse operation. That is, on the sales side, it rotates downward by 90 degrees, and on the next sales side, it is pulled upwards and moves horizontally on the base. Therefore, the next selling product that loses the support of the link arm is surrounded by this horizontal guard, thereby preventing the double sale from accidentally falling from the product outlet.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a side view showing the state at the time of sale of the product discharging device related to this issue, FIG. 2 is the sale operation, and FIG. 3 is the side configuration diagram showing each state at the time of product sale. Fig. 5 is a plan view showing a plan view from a predetermined position, and Fig. 5 is a view showing the front view of the vending body for opening and closing the front door.

1 is a commodity storage column, in which a commodity M, which has a rectangular shape such as gum, is folded up and down with its long side facing inward. It is stored in rows. 2 is a partition wall partitioned so that merchandise M is arranged in two rows, and protrudes at a predetermined length from the center of the rear wall of the merchandise storage column 1 toward the front. The partition wall 2 facilitates the insertion when the product M is inserted and replenished in front of the magnet.

The lower left and right walls of the merchandise storage column 1 are cut out and provided with product outlets 3A and 3B at the openings (openings). 4 is a base provided in the lower part of the goods storage column 1, and where the goods M are mounted, the width L2 of the base 4 is short compared with the width L1 dimension of the goods storage column 1 in the goods delivery direction.

The upper portion of the base portion of the product discharging link arm 5 (hereinafter referred to as the "link arm"), which acts as a pusher for pushing the product M to the opening 4b, ie, the product extruding part 5a, is projected. To free the swinging movement. Thus, as shown in Fig. 4, the merchandise M is placed on the base surfaces 4a and 4a at both ends thereof.

The base 4 is shaped like a box, and the mechanism portion of the product discharging device is assembled at the center thereof. That is, the gear motor 6 is fixed to the side of the base 4, and one link arm 5 is supported by the arm support shaft 7 so as to rotate its lower end.

In addition, although the rotation of the gear motor 6 is not shown in figure, the structure which controls rotation angle by the cam and a switch is comprised.

The arm support shaft 7 is attached to and fixed to the pair of protrusion pieces 9 provided on the base 8 and the substrate 8 combined below.

Numeral 10 denotes an output shaft of the gear motor 6, and a crank difference 11 is fixed to the output shaft 10, and the crank difference 11 includes a crank shaft 12. As shown in FIG. The crankshaft 12 is engaged with the long hole 13 formed in the middle of the link arm 5.

Therefore, when the crank wheel 11 rotates in the direction of the arrow, the link arm 5 reciprocates from side to side with the arm support shaft 7 as a point in its one rotational operation.

The product extrusion part 5a at the tip of the link arm 5 is engaged with the rear of the product M and pushed out so that it can be understood from FIG. 1.

(15) and (16) are guards which prevent the goods M on the side not dispensing during product dispensing from falling from the product discharging outlets 3A and 3B, and have a flat shape. It is shaped like a frame, and the frame front surfaces 15a and 16b serve as a stopper for falling products.

The two guards 15 and 16 are rotatably coupled to the upper portion of the link arm 5.

That is, the shaft 19 (18) is provided in the upper part of the link arm 5, and the long hole 17, 18 is provided in the rear end of the guards 15, 16 in the long hole 17, 18 ( 20 is inserted through, and both guards 15 and 16 are coupled so that they may be interlocked by a pair of links 21.

This link 21 is rotatably attached to the link fixing shaft 22 provided in the center part of the link arm 5 in the center part.

By this configuration, the guards 15 and 16 are guarded in a posture to be placed on the upper surface of the base 4.

Therefore, when dispensing of goods M in the left column is finished in FIG. 1, the left guard 15 is rotated downward by 90 degrees and stored in the goods storage column 1, and the right guard 16 is located. Remains horizontal. Then, when the link arm 5 starts to swing to the right and the dispensing operation of the goods M in the right row is made, the goods M on the right side are pushed out to the right, and the guard 15 on the left side follows the base ( It is brought up in contact with the corner portion 4R of 4) and is horizontally moved as shown by the dotted line and guided to the right as it is. This results in the loss of support (support) by the link arm 5 at the time of sale of the right row goods M, which prevents the left row goods M that are pushed down from falling out of the goods outlet 3A by mistake.

As shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of product storage columns 1 are arranged in the left and right directions from the front, and the space portion between the product storage column 1 and the product storage column 1 shares the product drop passage 25. It is supposed to be.

In the present article having the above configuration, the product unloading operation will be described next.

In the stand-by sales state shown in FIG. Do it. As shown in FIG. 2, the guard 15 is guarded by the corner portion 4R of the base 4 and is pushed up as shown, during the carrying out operation of the goods M in the right row. It is supported almost horizontally and moves to the right. At this time, since the left and right guards 15 and 16 are interlocked by the link 21, the guards 15 and 16 can be held almost horizontally even in the bearing structure by the long holes 17 and 18.

Further, when the link arm 5 moves to the right side, the product M on the right side is dropped and sold, and the next product M on the right side rests on the link arm 5.

Further, when the link arm 5 moves to the right, the product M on the left side falls from the top of the link arm 5 and rests on the base 4.

At this time, since the guard 15 on the left side is almost in a horizontal position, the frame front surface 15a guards the product outlet 3A, and prevents the product M from falling down on the base 4.

3 shows the time of sale, and the link arm 5 is moved to the right at the maximum, and after the end of the sale, the guard 16 on the right side rotates 90 degrees downward from the base surface 4a.

This leads to a sales wait, and the next take-out sells the left product M.

In this way, since the guard is rotated 90 degrees downward after the end of the sale, when the goods storage columns are arranged in parallel as shown in FIG. 5, the adjacent dispensing device and the drop passage of the goods can be shared. Space can be used effectively.

From this, it is possible to increase the number of column receiving water, thereby increasing the number of product receiving water.

As described above, according to the present proposal, the guard can move horizontally in conjunction with the swing of the link arm that alternately delivers the goods, thereby preventing the fall of the goods.

In addition, the guard can be rotated 90 degrees downward when selling the product, so that the guard space of the guard is not required largely, thereby simplifying the design.

In addition, the width of the product drop passage shared with the adjacent product storage columns can be reduced, and the width space of the main body can be effectively used, so that a plurality of product storage columns can be added and the number of product storage can be increased.
