Abstract

A vending machine dispensing device including an open top container with side walls, at least one of which is inclined, and with a goods dispensing window, characterized in that the goods dispensing window is enlarged corresponding to the dimensions of the inclined side wall, and closed by a side wall, movably fixed from below to the container with the possibility of rotation.

Description

The utility model relates to equipment for trade, namely, to the design of a device for dispensing goods of a vending machine.

From patent RU 134683 U1, IPC G07F 11/00, publ. November 20, 2013, a vending machine dispenser is known that includes a container with a frame, side walls and a bottom, an electric drive and a web of elastic fabric laid in a container, one edge of which is rigidly attached to one of the edges of the tray frame, and the second edge of the canvas is attached to the rotating part of the electric drive. The issue of goods is carried out by winding the canvas, which, straightening, pushes the goods from the container.

The disadvantage of the above device is the low operational reliability, which is due to a change in the physical properties of the elastic fabric of the fabric over time and damage to the fabric by moving goods.

From patent RU 99636 U1, IPC G07F 11/16, publ. November 20, 2010, there is a known device for dispensing goods of a vending machine, including a rectangular-shaped open top container with a frame, side walls and a bottom formed by two trays, movably mounted on the frame with rotation.

The disadvantage of this device is the increased complexity of the design, due to the presence of the frame and the need to simultaneously move the two trays that make up the bottom of the device.

For the closest analogue of the claimed utility model adopted the device for issuing goods of a vending machine, see patent RU 99635 U1, IPC G07F 11/16, publ. November 20, 2010, including a top-open container with a frame, side inclined walls made of elastic material and a bottom formed by a tray movably fixed to the frame.

The disadvantages of the closest analogue are due to the features of its design.

The use of walls made of elastic material adversely affects the operational reliability of the device. Walls made of elastic material have to be replaced due to damage to goods and changes in the properties of the elastic material during aging.

The shape of the container with the walls tapering to the bottom does not allow using it for dispensing goods with dimensions exceeding the size of the movable tray.

The task to which the claimed device is directed is to create a device for dispensing goods of a vending machine, characterized by the suitability of the device for dispensing goods of various overall dimensions and increased operational reliability of the device.

The technical result, which the utility model aims to achieve, is to expand the applicability of the device for issuing goods with various overall dimensions.

The specified technical result is achieved in the dispenser of the vending machine, which includes an open top container with a window for dispensing goods and side walls, at least one of which is made inclined.

The specified technical result is achieved in that the window for dispensing goods is made of increased dimensions corresponding to the dimensions of the inclined side wall, and is closed by a side wall, movably fixed from below to the container with the possibility of rotation.

The utility model is illustrated by the following image.

In FIG. depicts a vending machine issuing device.

The positions in the image are:

1 - container device dispensing goods;

2, 3, 4 - side walls of the container;

5 - movable wall of the container;

6 - electric drive;

7 - goods.

The proposed utility model can be implemented as follows.

From a sheet material, for example, a steel sheet or plastic, a container 1 (see Fig.) Open from above is made with side walls 2, 3, 4 and a movable wall 5. The material of the walls 2, 3, 4, 5 is perforated to reduce the mass of the device.

The movable wall 5, as well as, in the particular case of the implementation of the container 1, shown in Fig., The wall 4, located opposite the movable wall 5, is made inclined to ensure unloading of goods due to gravity.

Opposite walls 2, 3 are made vertically oriented. They are motionlessly interconnected by a wall 4.

The movable wall 5 is connected from below to the wall 4 of the container by a loop.

An electric drive 6 with an electric motor is attached to the container 1 from the outside, which is designed to raise or lower the movable wall 5, as well as to hold it in the desired position.

The electric drive 6 can be implemented in different ways.

In the first possible embodiment, the electric drive 6 may consist only of an electric motor, the shaft of which coincides with the axis of rotation of the loop connecting the wall 5 to the wall 4 of the container.

In a second possible embodiment, the electric drive 6 may include an electric motor and a system of gears transmitting the rotation of the motor shaft to the axis of the loop connecting the wall 5 to the wall 4.

In a third possible embodiment, the electric drive 6 may include an electric motor, a deflecting unit and a cable, which is attached to the motor shaft at one end, thrown over the deflecting unit, and attached to the movable wall 5 with the second end. completely unwound. When the motor shaft rotates, the cable is wound on the shaft and, accordingly, the movable wall 5 is lifted.

Common to the above examples of the implementation of the electric drive 6 is the presence of a kinematic connection between the shaft of the electric drive 6 and the movable wall 5.

The device issuing goods vending machine operates as follows.

In the initial position, the movable wall 5 of the container 1 is pressed against the edges of the side walls 2, 3, 4 due to the force applied to it by the shaft of the electric motor 6, and closes the window for dispensing goods.

The container 1 of the dispensing device is placed under the storage cell of the vending machine.

The goods 7 from the storage cell of the vending machine are moved to the container 1 of the device for issuing goods of the vending machine. The product 7 falls into the container 1 and is sandwiched between the walls 2, 3, 4, 5 of the container 1. The device for dispensing the goods of the vending machine is moved by electric drives of vertical and horizontal movement (not shown in Fig.) To the window for issuing the goods. By turning the shaft of the electric motor 6 to a predetermined angle, the movable wall 5 is rotated, opening a window for dispensing goods. The product 7 under the action of gravity moves after the movable wall 5 and leaves the container 1. The movable wall 5 is returned to its original position.

The technical result claimed in the utility model “the expansion of the applicability of the device for dispensing goods with various overall dimensions” is achieved by using a side inclined wall 5 as a window for dispensing goods from the container, which is much larger than the bottom in the structure known from RU patent 99635 U1. This allows you to expand the applicability of the device due to the possibility of issuing goods with both small and significant overall dimensions.

The implementation of the container 1 from a solid sheet material eliminates the use of a frame and elastic material that is subject to aging and mechanical damage, in contrast to the design described in patent RU 99635 U1, and place the actuator 6 directly on the container 1.

Studies conducted on the patent bases of the Russian Federation, the USA and the European Patent Office confirm the novelty of the utility model.

The operation of the prototype utility model confirms its industrial applicability and compliance with the stated technical results.
