When a product selection operation is performed, a sales command is generated, and the product delivery device 9 of the product storage shelf 8 corresponding to the selected product is
is operated.
この商品送出装置9の動作により送出された商品Aは、
商品シュート10上に落下して送出口11へ案内送出さ
れる。The product A sent out by the operation of this product delivery device 9 is
The product falls onto the product chute 10 and is guided to the delivery port 11.
送出口11から扉2内に送出された商品Aは、案内シュ
ート12によってエレベータ装置13の受入口14に案
内送出され、受入位置に位置した搬送棚15に受入れ載
置される。The product A delivered from the delivery port 11 into the door 2 is guided to the receiving port 14 of the elevator device 13 by the guide chute 12, and is received and placed on the transport shelf 15 located at the receiving position.

によって搬送棚15は下動し、商品受入れ位置に復帰す
る。Then, the transport shelf 15 on which the product A is received and placed is moved upwardly by the drive of the drive motor 17, and when it reaches a position corresponding to the rear of the product take-out port 6, it is stopped by the stop of the drive motor, and the product A in the transport shelf I5 is Since the bottom of the transport shelf 15 is inclined in the direction of the product outlet 6, pressure is transferred to the product outlet 6 by rolling. After sending out the product, the transport shelf 15 is moved downward by the reverse drive of the drive motor 17 and returns to the product receiving position.
一方、各照明灯22.23は、搬送棚15が商品取出口
6の後方に位置して商品Aが商品取出口6に送出される
所定時間後に消灯される。従って搬送棚15の下降移動
は前方から見えないようになる。On the other hand, each of the illumination lights 22 and 23 is turned off after a predetermined period of time when the transport shelf 15 is located behind the product takeout port 6 and the product A is delivered to the product takeout port 6. Therefore, the downward movement of the transport shelf 15 is not visible from the front.
