Definitions
- the invention relates to a modular goods dispensing unit for a vending machine, with a goods compartment for receiving goods, with a rotatably mounted Rotating body at the delivery opening of the goods compartment for removal and delivery individual goods from the goods compartment, the rotating body at least one Has recess, in a removal position, a product from the goods compartment removes and the goods after a predetermined rotary movement in an output position emits.
- Such a goods issue unit is for example from DE 21 39 955 A1 known, in the case of goods from a goods compartment supplied to a rotating body and after a predetermined rotary movement into an output position be delivered. There is a separating section in front of the rotating body, that lead out of the goods compartment and the goods one after the other feeds the rotating body at the end of the separation section.
- the goods issue unit has a relative separation of the goods large construction volume. The immediate removal of the goods from the goods compartment is not possible.
- a vending machine is known with a Goods compartment consisting of several sub-compartments from which goods (e.g. bottles) roll out and slide vertically to the goods dispensing unit.
- goods e.g. bottles
- the goods are directed to a rotating body, from where they reach a swiveling output plate.
- This can be done under load dump through a bottle, making the bottle look like a slide to the goods issue.
- the driving force for the rotation of the rotating body and the further processes until the bottle is dispensed is the weight of the Bottle.
- the disadvantage of this known structure is that the bottles during the delivery of goods from the goods compartment to the removal of goods easily mutually hinder and the vending machine thereby no bottles can spend more.
- the merchandise compartments were very elaborate as partial subjects, which in turn is the refill process difficult and last but not least, the amount of goods in vending machines unnecessarily limited.
- JP 07 057146 A A similar vending machine is known from JP 07 057146 A, which is now but has a pivotable separation channel for cylindrical goods, to mutual misjudgment a so-called "bridge bit" at the transition to avoid from the goods compartment to the rotating body and still only one To offer goods compartment in which the goods lie loosely on top of and next to each other.
