また、固定仕切板部１２の下面には、ダクト壁１７の開口１７ａと連通する風向案内手段２２が形成されている。風向案内手段２２は、固定仕切板部１２の下面に略前後方向に延設された複数の風向案内板２３と風向案内板２３を下方から覆うカバー部材２４を備えている。そして、カバー部材２４は、前方（主扉２側）とダクト壁１７の開口１７ａと対向する後方に開口が形成され、ダクト通路１６に導かれてダクト壁１７の開口１７ａから送出される冷気または暖気を、固定仕切板１２の下面との間に形成される隙間を介して商品収納庫３の前方に案内する。   Further, on the lower surface of the fixed partition plate portion 12, air direction guide means 22 communicating with the opening 17 a of the duct wall 17 is formed. The wind direction guide means 22 includes a plurality of wind direction guide plates 23 extending substantially in the front-rear direction on the lower surface of the fixed partition plate portion 12 and a cover member 24 that covers the wind direction guide plates 23 from below. The cover member 24 has an opening formed at the front (on the main door 2 side) and the rear facing the opening 17a of the duct wall 17, and is guided to the duct passage 16 and sent out from the opening 17a of the duct wall 17 or Warm air is guided to the front of the product storage 3 through a gap formed between the lower surface of the fixed partition plate 12.

このように構成される本発明の自動販売機において、上下の商品収納室３ａ、３ｂ内の商品を同時に冷却する場合は、ダクト仕切部材２１を図示しない駆動手段によりダクト通路１６から退避させ、ダクト通路１６を上下方向に貫通させる。そして、ダクト通路１６の下端に臨んで設けられた冷却装置３５により冷却された空気を、ダクト通路１６の下から上に向けて送風し、ダクト壁１７の開口１７ａおよびダクト通路１６の上端から加温装置３１の送風手段を介して送出し、上下の商品収納室３ａ、３ｂ内に循環させて上下の商品収納室３ａ、３ｂ内の商品を同時に冷却する。   In the vending machine of the present invention configured as described above, when simultaneously cooling the products in the upper and lower product storage chambers 3a and 3b, the duct partition member 21 is retracted from the duct passage 16 by a driving means (not shown), The passage 16 is vertically penetrated. Then, the air cooled by the cooling device 35 provided facing the lower end of the duct passage 16 is blown upward from the bottom of the duct passage 16 to be applied from the opening 17a of the duct wall 17 and the upper end of the duct passage 16. It sends out through the ventilation means of the temperature apparatus 31, and circulates in the upper and lower product storage chambers 3a and 3b to simultaneously cool the products in the upper and lower product storage chambers 3a and 3b.

次に、上の商品収納室３ａの商品を加温し、下の商品収納室３ｂの商品を冷却する場合について説明する。先ず、ダクト仕切部材２１を図示しない駆動手段により、固定仕切板部１２の後端からダクト壁１７の開口１７ａを介してダクト通路１６に突出させる。そして、その先端を商品収納庫３の背壁３ｃに突き当て、ダクト通路１６を上下のダクト通路１６ａ、１６ｂに分断する。   Next, a case where the product in the upper product storage chamber 3a is heated and the product in the lower product storage chamber 3b is cooled will be described. First, the duct partition member 21 is protruded from the rear end of the fixed partition plate portion 12 into the duct passage 16 through the opening 17a of the duct wall 17 by driving means (not shown). And the front-end | tip abuts against the back wall 3c of the goods storage 3, and the duct channel | path 16 is divided | segmented into the upper and lower duct channel | paths 16a and 16b.

ここで、開口１７ａはダクト仕切部材２１より大きな断面寸法を有するので、下ダクト通路１６ｂは、ダクト仕切部材２１の下面と開口１７ａの下端部との隙間１９ｂを介して固定仕切板部１２の下面に形成した風向案内手段２２に連通する。そして、図示しない制御手段によって制御される冷却装置３５により冷却される空気は、下ダクト通路１６ｂの下端から上方に送風されて隙間１９ｂから送出され、風向案内手段２２を介して下の商品収納室３ｂ内を循環して商品を冷却する。   Here, since the opening 17a has a larger cross-sectional dimension than the duct partition member 21, the lower duct passage 16b is provided on the lower surface of the fixed partition plate portion 12 via a gap 19b between the lower surface of the duct partition member 21 and the lower end portion of the opening 17a. It communicates with the wind direction guiding means 22 formed in And the air cooled by the cooling device 35 controlled by the control means (not shown) is blown upward from the lower end of the lower duct passage 16b and sent out from the gap 19b, and the lower product storage chamber via the wind direction guiding means 22 The product is cooled by circulating in 3b.

また、上ダクト通路１６ａは、ダクト仕切部材２１の上面と開口１７ａの上端部との隙間１９ａを介して上の商品収納室３ａに連通する。そして、上ダクト通路１６ａの上端に臨んで配設された加温装置３１により加温される空気は、上の商品収納室３ａに送出されて室内を下降し、隙間１９ａから上ダクト通路１６ａに吸い込まれて再び加温装置３１により加温される。このようにして、暖気が上の商品収納室３ａ内を循環し商品を加温する。   The upper duct passage 16a communicates with the upper product storage chamber 3a through a gap 19a between the upper surface of the duct partitioning member 21 and the upper end portion of the opening 17a. Then, the air heated by the heating device 31 disposed facing the upper end of the upper duct passage 16a is sent to the upper product storage chamber 3a, descends the room, and enters the upper duct passage 16a from the gap 19a. It is sucked and heated again by the heating device 31. In this way, warm air circulates in the upper product storage chamber 3a to warm the product.

ところで、下の商品収納室３ｂにおいて冷却装置３５により冷却された空気は、下ダクト通路１６ｂを下方から上方に送られ、ダクト仕切部材２１の下面と開口１７ａの下端部との隙間１９ｂを介して、固定仕切板１２の下面とカバー部材２４との間に形成された空間に案内される。さらに、この冷気は、この空間に配置される複数の風向案内板２３により、その風量が左右方向に略均等に分配されて前方の開口に向かって案内され、この開口に続く商品搬送装置８のバケット９の移動部を下降し、下の商品収納室３ｂの底部を通過して、ダクト通路１６の下端に臨んで配置された冷却装置３５に到達し、再び冷却されて下の商品収納室３ｂ内を循環する。   By the way, the air cooled by the cooling device 35 in the lower product storage chamber 3b is sent from the lower duct passage 16b to the upper side through the gap 19b between the lower surface of the duct partition member 21 and the lower end of the opening 17a. The space is formed between the lower surface of the fixed partition plate 12 and the cover member 24. Further, the cool air is guided by the plurality of wind direction guide plates 23 arranged in the space, with the air volume distributed substantially evenly in the left-right direction, toward the front opening, and the product conveying device 8 following the opening. The moving part of the bucket 9 descends, passes through the bottom of the lower product storage chamber 3b, reaches the cooling device 35 disposed facing the lower end of the duct passage 16, and is cooled again to be lower product storage chamber 3b. Circulate inside.

これによれば、下ダクト通路１６ｂにより導かれ下の商品収納室３ｂに送出される冷気は、固定仕切板１２の下面に形成された風向案内手段２２により、商品ラック６が配置されない商品搬送装置８のバケット９の移動部に、その風量が左右方向に略均等に分配されて案内され、そのバケット９移動部を下降して、下の商品収納室３ｂ内を容易に流通する。すなわち、冷気が商品ラック６に収納される商品を囲むようにして容易に循環するから、商品を効率よく均一に冷却することができる。また、風向案内手段２２は、複数の風向案内板２３とこれを覆うカバー部材２４等から簡単に構成されるので、コストを安くし、サービス性や信頼性を向上させることができる。   According to this, the cool air guided by the lower duct passage 16b and sent to the lower product storage chamber 3b is a product transport device in which the product rack 6 is not disposed by the wind direction guiding means 22 formed on the lower surface of the fixed partition plate 12. The air volume is distributed and guided to the moving part of the eighth bucket 9 substantially evenly in the left-right direction, descends the moving part of the bucket 9 and easily circulates in the lower product storage chamber 3b. That is, since the cool air is easily circulated so as to surround the products stored in the product rack 6, the products can be efficiently and uniformly cooled. Moreover, since the wind direction guide means 22 is simply comprised of a plurality of wind direction guide plates 23 and a cover member 24 covering the wind direction guide plates 23, the cost can be reduced, and serviceability and reliability can be improved.

なお、本発明の実施の形態においては、上下の商品収納室３ａ、３ｂを連通して設けられるダクト通路１６を、商品収納庫３の後側に設けたが、これに限らず、ダクト通路１６を商品収納庫３の左右側に設けても当然よい。また、本実施の形態の場合、風向案内手段２２を固定仕切板１２の下面に形成したが、風向案内手段２２は固定仕切板１２の上面あるいは両面に形成されても勿論よい。言うまでもなく、本発明は本実施の形態の示す構成に限定されず本発明の趣旨の包含する範囲で応用変更が可能である。   In addition, in embodiment of this invention, although the duct channel | path 16 provided by connecting the upper and lower goods storage chambers 3a and 3b was provided in the rear side of the goods storage 3, although not restricted to this, the duct channel | path 16 is not limited. May be provided on the left and right sides of the product storage 3. In the present embodiment, the wind direction guiding means 22 is formed on the lower surface of the fixed partition plate 12, but the wind direction guiding means 22 may naturally be formed on the upper surface or both surfaces of the fixed partition plate 12. Needless to say, the present invention is not limited to the configuration shown in the present embodiment, and application changes are possible within the scope of the gist of the present invention.
