る切換操作手段とを設けてある自動販売機に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention is characterized in that a product take-out chamber having a product take-out port is formed in communication with a specific position of a carrying path of a lifting and carrying mechanism for carrying a product up and down. At the communication port between the take-out chamber and the transfer route,
A pair of anti-theft doors that can be freely opened and closed with one end side in the opening width direction as a fulcrum are provided, and an urging mechanism that urges the pair of anti-theft doors to return to the closed posture and the anti-theft doors in the closed position. An automatic vending machine provided with a lock mechanism for preventing opening and a switching operation means for forcibly switching the lock mechanism from a locked state to an unlocked state on the basis of a product conveying operation to the product take-out chamber (A) side. Regarding the machine.
この種の自動販売機では、前記昇降搬送機構の搬送経
路と商品取出室との連通口に一対の防盗扉を設けてある
から、例えば、前記防盗扉を前記昇降搬送機構の搬送経
路内に配置した場合、特開平1−171090号公報等のよう
に、防盗扉の取付け位置が搬送経路の一端部(下端部又
は上端部)に限定されることがなく、商品取出室を搬送
経路の任意の高さ位置に設定することができる利点があ
る。In this type of vending machine, since a pair of anti-theft doors are provided at the communication port between the transfer path of the lifting / lowering transfer mechanism and the product unloading chamber, for example, the anti-theft door is arranged in the transfer path of the up / down transfer mechanism. In this case, the installation position of the anti-theft door is not limited to one end portion (the lower end portion or the upper end portion) of the transfer path, as in JP-A-1-171090, and the product take-out chamber can be set at any position on the transfer path. There is an advantage that it can be set at the height position.

機構がロック解除され、かつ、エレベータ台上から商品
が商品取出室側に送り出されてきたとき、この商品との
接当によって両防盗扉を付勢機構の付勢力に抗して押し
開くように構成していた。Then, conventionally, while configuring the width of the pair of anti-theft doors to be the same width, the lock mechanism is unlocked based on that the elevator platform of the lifting mechanism has reached a specific position corresponding to the product take-out chamber, and, When a product is delivered from the elevator platform to the product take-out room side, the anti-theft doors are pushed against the biasing force of the biasing mechanism by the contact with the product.
しかしながら、上記従来構成では、商品の送り出し力
によって両防盗扉をそれらの復帰付勢力に抗して押し開

扉の押し開きが不十分となり、その結果、商品の払い出
し搬送が正確に行なわれているのにも拘らず、商品が商
品取出室内に現れないため、購入者が商品が払い出され
ていないと勘違いする問題が発生していた。However, in the above-described conventional configuration, both anti-theft doors have to be pushed open against the return biasing force by the sending force of the product, so the push-opening of both anti-theft doors is insufficient for small light products, and as a result, Despite the fact that the products are delivered and delivered accurately, the products do not appear in the product delivery chamber, which causes a problem that the purchaser misunderstands that the products have not been delivered.
又、前記小さな軽い商品でも両防盗扉を容易に押し開

でに時間がかかり、次回の商品の払い出しまでに時間が
かかるだけでなく、防盗扉の枢支箇所にこじれ発生した
とき、防盗扉を閉じ姿勢に確実に復帰させることができ
なくなる不都合が発生し易い。In addition, it is conceivable to make the biasing force of the biasing mechanism of both anti-theft doors extremely small so that the small and light products can be easily pushed open, but in this case, the product is paid out. After that, it takes time for both anti-theft doors to return to the closed position, and it takes time before the next product is paid out. The inconvenience that it cannot be surely returned tends to occur.
本発明の目的は、両防盗扉の閉じ姿勢への復帰を迅速
かつ確実に行なわせながら、小さい軽い商品でも商品取
出室に確実に払い出すことができるものを、構造面及び
製造コスト面で有利に構成する点にある。An object of the present invention is to make it possible to quickly and surely return both doors to the closed posture, and to reliably dispense small and light products to the product take-out chamber, which is advantageous in terms of structure and manufacturing cost. The point is to configure.

作手段によるロック機構のロック解除状態への切換作動
に連動して、前記幅狭側の防盗扉を開き姿勢に切り換え
る連動機構を設けてある点に特徴を有する。The vending machine according to the present invention is configured such that a product take-out chamber having a product take-out port is formed in communication with a specific position of a carrying route of an elevating and carrying mechanism for carrying a product up and down, and the product take-out chamber is communicated with the carrying route. A pair of anti-theft doors that are openable and closable with one end side in the opening width direction as a fulcrum, and a biasing mechanism for biasing the pair of anti-theft doors to return to the closed posture and the anti-theft doors in the closed position. An automatic vending machine provided with a lock mechanism for preventing the door from opening and a switching operation means for forcibly switching the lock mechanism from a locked state to an unlocked state based on a product transport operation to the product unloading chamber side. Of the two anti-theft doors, one of the anti-theft doors has a width larger than that of the other anti-theft door, and is interlocked with the switching operation of the lock mechanism to the unlocked state by the switching operation means. The width Characterized in that is provided with an interlocking mechanism for switching the position to open the side of the proof Totobira.
前記幅狭側の防盗扉が閉じ姿勢にあるとき、当該幅狭
側の防盗扉をもって幅広側の防盗扉の開動を接当阻止す
る規制部材に兼用構成されていてもよい。When the narrow-side anti-theft door is in the closed posture, the narrow-side anti-theft door may be configured to also serve as a restricting member that prevents the wide-side anti-theft door from opening and closing.

該商品は付勢機構にて閉じ姿勢に付勢保持されている幅
広側の防盗扉と接当して、当該幅広側の防盗扉を付勢力
に抗して押し開くことになる。When a product is selected, the elevating / conveying mechanism operates to elevate / convey the selected product to the product extraction chamber corresponding to the specific position. At that time, the lock mechanism is unlocked by the operation of the switching operation means based on the product transport operation of the product to the product take-out chamber side. Then, interlocking with the switching operation of the lock mechanism to the unlocked state, the anti-theft door on the narrow side is switched to the open posture by the interlocking mechanism. Therefore, when the product at the specific position is delivered to the product take-out chamber side, the product comes into contact with the wide anti-theft door biased and held in the closed posture by the biasing mechanism, and It will push open the anti-theft door against the bias.
また、この幅広側の防盗扉の開き揺動に伴って商品が
遊端側に寄せられるため、その商品接当位置から扉開閉
支点までの距離が次第に長くなる。Further, since the product is moved to the free end side with the swinging and swinging of the wide side anti-theft door, the distance from the product contact position to the door opening / closing fulcrum gradually becomes longer.
更に、前記幅狭側の防盗扉を連動機構に連結させてあ
るが故に、幅広側の防盗扉を連動機構に連結させた場合
に比して、防盗扉の開き姿勢への切り換え操作力を小さ
くすることが可能となる。Further, since the narrow side anti-theft door is connected to the interlocking mechanism, the operation force for switching the anti-theft door to the open posture is smaller than that in the case where the wide side anti-theft door is connected to the interlocking mechanism. It becomes possible to do.
また、請求項2で記載したように、幅狭側の防盗扉が

いため、幅広側の防盗扉を開動させる場合に比して大き
な開動操作力を要する。Further, as described in claim 2, when the narrow-side anti-theft door is in the closed posture, the narrow-side anti-theft door is also used as a restricting member for preventing the wide-side anti-theft door from opening. In this case, for example, when the anti-theft door is forcibly opened by malicious intent, first, the narrow side anti-theft door is opened.At this time, the free end of the narrow side anti-theft door is held. Since the rotational moment that acts when opening the door is small, a large opening operation force is required compared to when opening the wide side anti-theft door.

造の簡素化及び製造コストの低廉化を図ることができ
る。In the vending machine according to claim 1 of the present invention, the pair of anti-theft doors have different widths, and only the narrow anti-theft door for which a large operation force is required for opening is forcibly opened. Since only the wide side anti-theft door with a small opening operation force is opened by contact with the product, the urging force of the urging mechanism can surely and quickly return to the closed posture of both doors. Even if the product is set to the influence, even a small product can be surely paid out to the product taking-out room, so that the purchaser can be surely recognized that the product has been paid out. In addition, the structure for opening and closing the anti-theft door can be simplified and the manufacturing cost can be reduced as compared with the case where the interlocking mechanism for forcibly switching each of the anti-theft doors to the open position is provided.
