金銭投入口１８は所定の金額の金銭が投入されたか否かを識別する金銭識別機を備え、所定の金額が投入されるとスタートボタン２０の内蔵ランプが点滅し、この状態でスタートボタン２０を押すと払出手段１０が作動する。 The money insertion slot 18 is provided with a money identifier for identifying whether or not a predetermined amount of money has been inserted. When a predetermined amount of money is inserted, the built-in lamp of the start button 20 blinks, and in this state the start button 20 is depressed. When pushed, the dispensing means 10 is activated.

基台５の中に、払出手段１０の要部およびコントロールユニット２８が備えられ、コントロールユニット２８は、前記の個数設定手段６、抽選手段１６を備えている。 The base 5 is provided with a main part of the payout means 10 and a control unit 28, and the control unit 28 includes the number setting means 6 and the lottery means 16.

図１とともに図２を参照して説明する。払出手段１０は、カプセルＫを収容するケース４の底部に回動を可能に設置されケース４内のカプセルＫを無作為に受け入れる受入口３０ａを複数個（４個）有した回転体３０と、回転体３０を継手３１を介して回動させる電動モーター３２と、回転体３０の下方に位置し回動する回転体３０の合致した受入口３０ａのカプセルＫを受け入れる払出口３４ａを一側に有し他側にカプセルＫの取出口８有した排出路３４を備えている。 2 will be described with reference to FIG. The paying-out means 10 includes a rotating body 30 that is rotatably installed at the bottom of the case 4 that accommodates the capsule K and has a plurality of (four) receiving ports 30a that randomly receive the capsules K in the case 4. An electric motor 32 that rotates the rotating body 30 via the joint 31 and a discharge outlet 34a that receives the capsule K of the receiving port 30a that is positioned below the rotating body 30 and that is aligned with the rotating body 30 are provided on one side. On the other side, a discharge passage 34 having an outlet 8 for the capsule K is provided.

払出手段１０は、金銭投入口１８への金銭の投入、スタートボタン２０の操作など、購入操作に基づいて、コントロールユニット２８の出力により電動モーター３２が回転され、個数設定手段６により設定された数のカプセルＫが無作為に払出口３４ａに払出される。カプセルＫの払出数は、パネル５ａに備えた払出個数表示ランプ２６（４個）が設定した個数を点灯し表示される。ケース４から払出したカプセルＫの数は、払出口３４ａに備えたワイヤセンサー３４ｂにより検知されコントロールユニット２８に入力される。コントロールユニット２８は、払出個数表示ランプ２６の点灯数をカプセルＫの払出しに合わせて順次減らすとともに、設定した数が払出されると電動モーター３２の回転を止め払出しを停止させる。 The payout means 10 is configured such that the electric motor 32 is rotated by the output of the control unit 28 based on the purchase operation such as the insertion of money into the money insertion slot 18 and the operation of the start button 20, and the number set by the number setting means 6. Capsules K are randomly dispensed to the dispensing outlet 34a. The number of capsules K to be paid out is displayed by lighting the number set by the number-of-payout display lamp 26 (four pieces) provided on the panel 5a. The number of capsules K paid out from the case 4 is detected by the wire sensor 34b provided in the payout outlet 34a and input to the control unit 28. The control unit 28 sequentially reduces the number of lighting of the payout number display lamp 26 in accordance with the payout of the capsule K, and when the set number is paid out, the electric motor 32 stops rotating and stops paying out.

図２とともに図３を参照して説明する。検知手段１２は、排出路３４に設置された検知体である検知センサー１２ａと、検知センサー１２ａの出力に反応する特定カプセルＫＳに入れられた媒体であるアンテナ１２ｂを備えている。 This will be described with reference to FIG. 3 together with FIG. The detection means 12 includes a detection sensor 12a that is a detection body installed in the discharge path 34, and an antenna 12b that is a medium placed in a specific capsule KS that reacts to the output of the detection sensor 12a.

排出路３４は、払出口３４ａから取出口８に向けて、途中に略直角の曲がり部３４ｂを備えた矩形断面の溝状に形成されている。排出路３４の底面は、払出口３４ａの側から取出口８に向けて徐々に下方に傾斜し、払出口３４ａに落ちたカプセルＫは、自重により取出口８に送られる。 The discharge path 34 is formed in a rectangular cross-sectional groove shape having a substantially right-angled bent portion 34b in the middle from the discharge outlet 34a toward the outlet 8. The bottom surface of the discharge passage 34 is gradually inclined downward from the discharge outlet 34a toward the outlet 8, and the capsule K that has fallen on the outlet 34a is sent to the outlet 8 by its own weight.

曲がり部３４ｂには払出口３４ａに落ちたカプセルＫに正対する壁面３４ｃが形成され、壁面３４ｃの排出路３４の裏側に検知センサー１２ａが設置されている。検知センサー１２ａは、特定カプセルＫＳの種類によって違えて設定した周波数、例えば６ＭＨｚ、８ＭＨｚの電磁波を発信し、特定カプセルＫＳ内のアンテナ１２ｂの共振を受信し、特定カプセルＫＳの種類を検知し、その信号をコントロールユニット２８に出力する。 The bent portion 34b is formed with a wall surface 34c that faces the capsule K that has fallen to the discharge outlet 34a, and the detection sensor 12a is installed on the back side of the discharge path 34 of the wall surface 34c. The detection sensor 12a transmits electromagnetic waves having different frequencies depending on the type of the specific capsule KS, for example, 6 MHz and 8 MHz, receives the resonance of the antenna 12b in the specific capsule KS, detects the type of the specific capsule KS, A signal is output to the control unit 28.

図１および図２に戻って説明する。報知手段１４は、パネル５ａに備えた発音手段であるスピーカー１４ａとともに、発光手段である点滅ランプ１４ｂをケース４の蓋４ａの上に備えている。検知手段１２により特定カプセルＫＳが検出されたときには、その種類に応じて予め決めた異なる音量、点滅で、所定の時間、スピーカー１４ａおよび点滅ランプ１４ｂが作動される。 Returning to FIG. 1 and FIG. The notifying means 14 includes a speaker 14a as a sounding means provided in the panel 5a and a blinking lamp 14b as a light emitting means on the lid 4a of the case 4. When the specific capsule KS is detected by the detecting means 12, the speaker 14a and the blinking lamp 14b are activated for a predetermined time with different volume and blinking determined in advance according to the type.

コントロールユニット２８は、パネル５ａを開けた基台５の中に、一体に備えたコネクタ端子２８ａの抜き差しにより、着脱を自在に設置されている。 The control unit 28 is detachably installed in the base 5 with the panel 5a opened by inserting and removing a connector terminal 28a provided integrally therewith.

個数設定手段６は、コントロールユニット２８の側面に個数設定用のディップスイッチ６ａを備え、ディップスイッチ６ａの操作により払出個数が、例えば１個、２個、３個、４個のいずれかに選択され設定される。 The number setting means 6 includes a dip switch 6a for setting the number on the side surface of the control unit 28, and the number of payouts is selected from one, two, three, four, for example, by operating the dip switch 6a. Is set.

抽選手段１６は、当選確率を変更可能に設定する、乱数発生回路を備えた確率設定機能を有したもので、コントロールユニット２８の側面に設定用のディップスイッチ１６ａを備えている。ディップスイッチ１６ａの操作により、当選確率が例えば０％、１％、２％、１０％のいずれかに選択され設定される。 The lottery means 16 has a probability setting function including a random number generation circuit for setting the winning probability to be changeable, and includes a setting dip switch 16 a on the side of the control unit 28. By operating the dip switch 16a, the winning probability is selected and set to, for example, 0%, 1%, 2%, or 10%.

抽選手段１６により当選が出た場合には、コントロールユニット２８は、個数表示ランプ２６（４個）を順次に所定の時間繰り返し点灯させ、またスピーカー１４ａによって当選音を奏で、払出手段１０を作動させて、カプセルＫを、例えば１個無償で取出口８に払出す。 When winning is made by the lottery means 16, the control unit 28 turns on the number display lamps 26 (4 pieces) sequentially and repeatedly for a predetermined time, and plays the winning sound by the speaker 14a to operate the payout means 10. Then, for example, one capsule K is paid out to the outlet 8 free of charge.

個数設定手段６による払出個数の設定、および抽選手段１６による当選確率の設定は、基台５からコントロールユニット２８を取り出して行われる。 The setting of the number of payouts by the number setting means 6 and the setting of the winning probability by the lottery means 16 are performed by taking out the control unit 28 from the base 5.

図４を参照して説明する。図４は複数のカプセル自動販売機２（Ａ〜Ｚ）を、それぞれのコントロールユニット２８を回線３６によって接続し、一群にまとめ設置した形態を示している。そして、複数台の中に抽選手段１６の当選確率の設定を変更したカプセル自動販売機２を含ませるとともに、いずれかのカプセル自動販売機２（例えばＢ）が当選した時には、他の購入操作中（例えばＣ、Ｚ）を除く全てのカプセル自動販売機２も当選音を奏でようにしたものである。 This will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 shows a form in which a plurality of capsule vending machines 2 (A to Z) are installed together as a group by connecting their control units 28 via lines 36. The capsule vending machine 2 in which the winning probability setting of the lottery means 16 is changed is included in a plurality of units, and when any one of the capsule vending machines 2 (for example, B) wins, another purchase operation is in progress. All capsule vending machines 2 except (for example, C, Z) are also made to play the winning sound.
