Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically vend the drinks in cups by transferring a tray together with a tray holder moved to a cup dropping position, turning the tray for each end of the sale of a drink, and detecting continuously the ends of sale to deliver a tray containing a cup filled with a drink to a customer. CONSTITUTION:When a continuous selection switch is turned on, the signal produced by a control part 3 is received and a tray transfer device 5 is driven. Thus a cup storing tray 1 is transferred from a tray store device 4. Then the tray 1 is dropped and received by a tray holder 6, and the turning direction of the tray 1 is switched 10 to the forward direction. Then a mobile motor 8 is turned on and a tray holder supporting pedestal 7 is turned in the forward direction. A transfer end detector 9 confirms the end of the transfer of the pedestal 7. Then the motor 8 is turned off and the turning direction of the tray 1 is switched 10. Then the end of the drinks to be sold is detected 11, and the tray 1 is turned 13 by a fixed angle. Then a rotator 13 is turned off. When the continuous sales number is subtracted and the set number of cups are continuously sold, the pedestal 7 is moved in the opposite direction. The transfer of the tray 1 is confirmed up to a position where a cup is delivered to a customer. Then the removal of the tray is detected.
