  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a commodity dispensing apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  1 to 4 show a commodity dispensing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The product dispensing device illustrated here is installed indoors, and a plurality of types (for example, a dozen or more) box cigarettes are packaged and used as a product W to be dispensed. It has. The device housing 1 constitutes an outer shell of the commodity dispensing device, and includes a housing body 10 and a door body 20. The housing body 10 has a box shape that opens to the front surface that includes the top wall 11, the left and right side walls 12, the bottom wall 13, and the rear wall 14. The door 20 has a rectangular shape that can close the opening 10 a of the housing body 10, and is supported on one side edge of the housing body 10. The door body 20 can move between an open state and a closed state of the opening 10a of the housing body 10 by rotating around an axis along the top and bottom. Locking means 2 is provided between the door body 20 and the housing body 10, and the door body 20 can be kept closed.

  An operation input unit 21 is provided on the front surface of the door body 20. The operation input unit 21 is a part where a user performs an operation. As the operation input unit 21, for example, a desired product W is selected from a plurality of types of products W stored in a column 30 described later, and there are a touch panel type and a push button type.

  A column 30 is provided in each of the housing body 10 and the door body 20. As shown in FIGS. 4 to 9, the column 30 stores a plurality of horizontally oriented products W stacked one above the other, and sequentially pays out from the lowest product W when a payout command is given. It is. In the present embodiment, twelve columns 30 are provided in each of the housing body 10 and the door body 20 in three upper and lower rows and four left and right rows. That is, by arranging four upper and lower partition plates 31 along the horizontal direction and five left and right partition plates 32 along the vertical direction, twelve columns 30 are provided on the housing body 10 and the door body 20 respectively. I am trying to provide it. The column 30 of the housing body 10 has an opening on the front surface facing the door body 20, and the column 30 of the door body 20 has an opening on the rear surface facing the housing body 10.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when the column 30 of the housing body 10 and the column 30 of the door body 20 close the opening 10 a of the housing body 10 by the door body 20, the transport space is secured between them. Both are configured to be housed inside the casing body 10.

  Each column 30 is provided with a cover member 33, an elastic sheet 34, a guide bar 35, a gate member 36, and a carry-out unit 40.

  The cover member 33 closes the opening of the column 30 in a state where the payout port 30a is secured in the lower portion of each column 30. When the door 20 is closed, these cover members 33 function as passage walls that define the conveyance path 50 along the top and bottom in the above-described conveyance space. The mutual interval between the cover member 33 of the door body 20 and the cover member 33 of the housing body 10, that is, the width W1 along the front and rear of the conveyance path 50 is larger than the maximum diagonal width W2 of the product W to be paid out. The size is set to be slightly larger. As shown in FIG. 5, the cover member 33 is supported by a hinge (not shown) and can open and close the opening of the column 30. As shown in FIG. 6, the column 30 of the door body 20 is provided with a cover member 33 for each of the upper, middle, and lower stages so as to be common to the columns 30 of each stage. In contrast, as shown in FIG. 8, the column 30 of the housing body 10 is provided with two right and left cover members 33 on each column 30.

  The elastic sheet 34 is a thin film member made of an elastic material disposed so as to cover the outlet 30 a of the column 30 from the lower edge portion of the cover member 33. The elastic sheet 34 prevents the product W from floating upward when the product W is paid out from the payout opening 30a of the column 30 toward the conveyance path 50, and the product W passing through the conveyance path 50 is discharged from the discharge outlet 30a. It functions to prevent entry.

  The guide bar 35 is a metal small-diameter member provided on both side portions of each column 30 so as to extend in the vertical direction, and can be easily elastically deformed. In the present embodiment, the guide bar 35 is provided so as to extend forward from the lower surface of the upper and lower partition plates 31 positioned above each column 30 and then bend at a substantially right angle downward. The lower end of the guide bar 35 is supported by the left and right partition plates 32 via brackets 37, respectively. These guide bars 35 function to align the products W by contacting both side portions of the products W stored in the column 30. When the product W is stored in the column 30, the product W can be passed by elastically expanding the guide bars 35.

  The gate member 36 extends downward from the lower edge of the cover member 33, and a plurality of gate members 36 are provided on the cover member 33. These gate members 36 are provided so as to be movable in the vertical direction, and define a substantial height dimension of the discharge outlet 30a according to the height of the product W to be discharged. That is, the gate member 36 adjusts the mounting position up and down, and sets the height dimension from the lower end to the upper and lower partition plates 31 so that only one product W can pass, thereby simultaneously transporting two products W. It functions to prevent the situation of being paid out to the road 50.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the carry-out unit 40 includes a pusher 42 that moves with respect to the unit main body 41, and operates when a payout signal is given. It functions to pay out the product W to the conveyance path 50. The carry-out unit 40 is provided with a sell-out lever 43 at the upper part of the unit main body 41. The sold-out lever 43 is urged so as to always protrude from the upper surface of the unit main body 41 by an elastic member (not shown). When the product W is placed on the upper surface of the unit body 41, the sold-out lever 43 is retracted due to its weight. In the present embodiment, two carry-out units 40 are juxtaposed on the inner bottom surface of each column 30.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a shooter 60 is provided in a part of the housing body 10 that is below the conveyance path 50, and an outlet 22 is provided in a part of the door body 20 facing the shooter 60. It is provided. The shuter 60 has a flat plate-shaped receiving plate portion 61 at a central portion of the housing body 10, and gradually decreases toward the receiving plate portion 61 at left and right and rear portions of the receiving plate portion 61. An inclined plate 62 is provided. In the shooter 60, the product W paid out to the transport path 50 is guided to the upper surface of the receiving plate portion 61 by the inclined plate 62. The take-out port 22 is an opening through which the product W placed on the receiving plate portion 61 of the shooter 60 is taken out of the machine. The outlet 22 is provided with a thin plate-shaped flapper 23 having translucency. The flapper 23 is supported by the door body 20 so as to be rotatable via the upper edge portion, and is normally maintained in a state in which the outlet 22 is closed by its own weight. If the lower edge portion of the flapper 23 is pulled toward the front side, the take-out port 22 is opened, and the product W in the receiving plate portion 61 can be taken out of the machine.

  Further, the commodity dispensing apparatus is provided with a movable contact member 51 and a fixed contact member 52 in the transport path 50. As shown in FIG. 12, the movable contact member 51 has a flat plate shape, and the base end edge portion can be rotated to the cover member 33 of the column 30 located in the middle stage of the door body 20 via the support shaft member 51a. It is supported in such a state. More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2, 4, and 6, the cover member 33 of the column 30 located in the middle stage of the door body 20 is slightly lower than the upper edge portion and the center. Four movable contact members 51 are provided at each site. Each movable contact member 51 is provided with a torsion spring 51b between the cover member 33 and the movable contact member 51. The torsion spring 51b is maintained in an inclined state so that the upper surface (contact surface) 51A of the movable contact member 51 gradually becomes lower as the distance from the cover member 33 increases. The dimensions of the movable contact member 51 are set such that a gap is secured between the tip edge and the column 30 of the housing body 10 when tilted by the torsion spring 51b. The movable contact member 51 provided below is disposed so that the tip edge faces the payout port 30 a of the column 30 located in the middle stage of the housing body 10. The elastic force of the torsion spring 51b is set so that the movable contact member 51 can be rotated downward when the product W is placed on the upper surface 51A of the movable contact member 51.

  As shown in FIGS. 3, 4, 5, and 8, the fixed contact member 52 extends at an angle so that the flange portions 52 a on both sides and the individual flange portions 52 a gradually approach each other in the same direction. Of the column 30 positioned in the middle and lower stages of the housing body 10 in a state where the contact plate 52b protrudes toward the conveyance path 50. It is attached to the cover member 33 along the left-right direction. More specifically, the cover member 33 of the column 30 located in the middle stage and the lower stage of the housing body 10 is provided with individual fixed abutting members 52 at the respective lower edges. The upper surface (contact surface) 52A of the contact plate portion 52b disposed on the upper side of each fixed contact member 52 is inclined so as to gradually become lower as the distance from the cover member 33 increases. The protruding dimension of the fixed abutting member 52 is set to be substantially equal to the gap between the distal end edge of the movable abutting member 51 and the cover member 33 of the housing body 10.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the movable contact member 51 and the fixed contact member 52 provided in the transport path 50 are arranged in a zigzag shape along the top and bottom, and are movable with respect to the product W passing through the transport path 50. The contact member 51 and the fixed contact member 52 contact each other alternately.

  In the commodity dispensing apparatus configured as described above, the column 30 is opened by opening the door body 20 to open the conveyance path 50 and further opening the cover member 33. Therefore, the product W can be replenished to each column 30 from this state. When replenishing the product W, as described above, the guide bars 35 may be expanded to each other. Thereafter, the height of the gate member 36 is adjusted according to the height of the product W, and is set so that only one product W can pass through the substantial height dimension of the payout opening 30a.

  The product W stored in the column 30 is placed on the upper surface of the carry-out unit 40. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, the product W stored in the column 30 is mounted on the upper surface of the unit main body 41 and the upper surface of the carry-out support member 44 protruding forward of the unit main body 41. . At this time, the bent tip of the standby support member 45 is opposed to the end surface of the product W that faces the conveyance path 50. Therefore, even when vibration or impact is applied to the apparatus housing 1 from this state, there is no possibility that the product W in the column 30 is inadvertently paid out to the transport path 50. When the replenishment of the product W is completed and the door body 20 is closed, the product W enters a payout waiting state.

  When the desired product W is selected through the operation input unit 21 in the payout waiting state, a payout signal is given to the carryout unit 40 of the corresponding column 30 from a control unit (not shown), and the two carryout units 40 are synchronized. By operating in this manner, the lowest product W is paid out to the transport path 50 from the payout opening 30a of the column 30. In the following, for the sake of convenience, the description will be made assuming that the product W of the column 30 located in the upper stage of the housing body 10 is selected.

  That is, in the carry-out unit 40 to which the payout signal is given from the control unit, the pusher 42 contacts the end surface of the product W positioned at the lowest position, and the pusher 42 is kept in this state as shown in FIG. Move forward against. At this time, the standby support member 45 is rotated downward by an interlocking mechanism (not shown), so that the bent tip portion of the standby support member 45 is retracted below the upper surface of the unit body 41. As a result, the product W positioned at the lowest position of the column 30 is ready to be paid out to the transport path 50.

  As shown in FIG. 15, when the pusher 42 moves further forward, the unloading support member 44 is rotated downward by an interlocking mechanism (not shown). As a result, the lowest-order product W pushed out from the upper surface of the unit main body 41 toward the conveyance path 50 is tilted with its tip downward, and is delivered to the conveyance path 50 as shown in FIG. . At this time, the gate member 36 is set so that only one product W can pass, and the upper product W is tilted backward by the pusher 42 positioned in front of the unit body 41. There is no possibility of incurring a situation in which the product W is paid out at the same time. When the payout of the product W is completed, as shown in FIG. 17, first, the carry-out support member 44 rotates upward and returns to the payout standby state. As shown in FIG. 18, the pusher 42 moves rearward from this state to return the product W to the state where it is mounted on the upper surface of the unit main body 41 and the upper surface of the carry-out support member 44 again.

  On the other hand, since the product W paid out to the transport path 50 is first paid out toward the column 30 of the door body 20, as shown in FIG. 4, it hits the upper surface 51A of the movable contact member 51 arranged above. The conveyance path 50 drops downward while rotating the movable contact member 51 against the elastic force of the torsion spring 51b. During this time, the product W is guided toward the column 30 of the housing body 10 by the reaction force from the movable contact member 51, and then contacts the upper surface 52A of the fixed contact member 52 disposed above. It will be.

  The product W that has contacted the upper surface 52A of the upper fixed contact member 52 is guided toward the column 30 of the door body 20, and then contacts the upper surface 51A of the movable contact member 51 disposed below. The product W that has come into contact with the upper surface 51A of the movable contact member 51 falls down on the conveyance path 50 while rotating the movable contact member 51 against the elastic force of the torsion spring 51b. During this time, the product W is guided toward the column 30 of the housing body 10 by the reaction force from the movable contact member 51, and then contacts the upper surface 52A of the fixed contact member 52 disposed below. It will be.

  The product W that has come into contact with the upper surface 52A of the lower fixed contact member 52 is guided again toward the column 30 of the door body 20, and is then placed on the receiving plate portion 61 of the shooter 60. Accordingly, the user can take the product W out of the machine via the outlet 22 by pulling the lower edge of the flapper 23 toward the front side.

  Thus, according to the above-described commodity dispensing device, the commodity W dispensed from the column 30 meanders in the conveyance path 50 while sequentially contacting the upper surface 51A of the movable contact member 51 and the upper surface 52A of the fixed contact member 52. Will be guided. For this reason, the drop speed of the product W is suppressed, and there is no possibility of causing damage such as a corner portion being crushed when it is placed on the receiving plate portion 61 of the shooter 60. In addition, by sequentially contacting the movable contact member 51 and the fixed contact member 52, the posture of the product W at the time of dropping is adjusted, and for example, a situation of falling in a skewed state may be caused. Absent. Thereby, even when the width W1 along the front and rear of the conveyance path 50 is set to be slightly larger than the maximum side face diagonal width W2 of the product W, the product may be jammed in the middle. There is no. As a result, the product W can be reliably conveyed to the outlet 22 without causing an increase in the size of the apparatus.

  In the above-described embodiment, a carton cigarette in which a plurality of box cigarettes are housed and packaged is illustrated as the product W. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited to carton cigarettes, and is not limited to cartons. It can also be applied to payout. In this case, the product does not need to be large or heavy, and for example, a box cigarette may be dispensed. When paying out a small product, it is sufficient to prepare one carry-out unit 40 for the column 30. Conversely, when paying out a product larger than a carton cigarette, the number of carry-out units 40 may be increased according to the size of the product. Moreover, although the goods delivery apparatus provided with the column 30 of 3 steps | paragraphs of upper and lower sides is illustrated, the number of columns is not restricted to embodiment. Furthermore, since the product W paid out from the lower column 30 has a short drop distance, it is carried out to the shooter 60 without contacting both the movable contact member and the fixed contact member. Of course, the contact portion may be brought into contact with the product W paid out from the lower column 30.

  In the above-described embodiment, the product W is paid out only by selecting the product W. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, money input or money information is input. It is also possible to make a configuration such that the selected product W is paid out on the condition that it has been done, that is, use as a vending machine.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, only the movable contact member 51 is disposed on one side and only the fixed contact member 52 is disposed on the other side of the cover member 33 that is a passage wall of the conveyance path 50, and the product W However, the present invention is not limited to this, and if the product W is guided in a meandering manner in the transport path 50, only the movable contact member 51 is disposed on both cover members 33. Alternatively, the fixed contact member 52 may be disposed on both cover members 33. Further, the movable contact member 51 and the fixed contact member 52 may be mixed in each cover member 33.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the column 30 is provided on both the housing body 10 and the door body 20, but the column 30 is not necessarily provided on the door body 20.
