である。As shown in the figure, this is a loop-shaped conveyor belt (1) having transfer claws (2) arranged at regular intervals and stretched in a substantially L-shape, and the conveyor belt (1). ) A pair of guide rails (36) disposed slightly above the horizontal portion (10) to the bent portion (11) and the bent portion (11) of the conveyor belt (1). The guide (G), which is provided at a constant interval over the part (12), guides the product (p) sent from the product storage device (7) and dropped on the guide rail (36). It is configured so as to be conveyed upward along a constant conveyance locus while changing a certain posture through the rail (36) and the guide (G).
そして、このものでは、第9図に示す如く、搬送用ベル

動販売機として致命的な欠陥である。In general, in this type of product transfer device, as shown in FIG. 9, the detection lever (60) for the product transferred to the opening (38) between the upright portion (12) and the guide (G). Since the driving of the conveyor belt (1) is stopped after a certain time by pushing up the product, even when the product falls off the transfer claw (2) and falls,
That is, even if the product is not discharged to the product tray (8), if the product pushes up the detection lever (60) once, the conveyor belt (1) will be stopped after a certain period of time, and the purchaser will You will not be able to get it. This is a fatal flaw in a vending machine.

A guide (G) facing the conveying surface of the rising portion of the conveying belt (1) at a constant interval, and a guide (G) disposed above the guide (G) and detecting an object to be conveyed. A sensor (6) for stopping the transport belt (1) after a certain time, and a substantially columnar object to be transported is brought into contact with the guide (G) at the upper end side and the lower end side. Is engaged with the transfer claw (2) to be slid and conveyed upward, and is ejected to a predetermined position from the open upper end of the guide (G). Immediately before this ejection, the sensor (6) is brought into an output state. In a transfer device of the type, the guide (G) is composed of a fixed guide (3) and a swing guide (4) located at the upper end of the fixed guide (3), and the upper end of the swing guide (4) is , In the direction of decreasing the distance between this and the conveyor belt (1) B, and the gap between the conveyor belt (1) and the fixed guide (3) is set to be larger than the transverse cross-sectional shape of the largest object to be conveyed, above the swing guide (4). A direction changing guide (5) is provided for moving the conveyed object obliquely upward in the anti-biasing direction of the swing guide.
この出願の発明は次のように作用する。 The invention of this application operates as follows.

As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 7, the swing guide (4) is moved diagonally upward along the curved plate (50) against the urging force of the spring, and thus the product (P2, P3) is The swing guide (4), which is moved in the direction opposite to the moving direction, moves while sliding on the upper edge. Therefore, the center of gravity (g) of the product (P2, P3) surely gets over the upper edge of the swing guide (4), and the product which could not be discharged by the transport device described in the section of the description of the related art ( Even products (P2, P3) smaller than P1) will be reliably discharged to the product tray (8).

なる。On the other hand, in the above embodiment, if the urging force of the coil spring (41) is set to be large to increase the urging force of the upper end edge of the swing guide (4) toward the upright portion (12), an unstable state (transfer The products (P2, P3) conveyed by the transfer claws (2) with the claws (2) being in poor engagement with the products) will be pushed down by the swing guide (2). The tip of the transfer claw (2) is deformed and the product (P2, P3) falls. And the product (P2, P
3) is engaged again with the transfer claw (2) below the transfer claw (2) and is conveyed toward the swing guide (4). That is, the above is repeated until the product (P2, P3) is stably engaged with the transfer claw (2), and when the engagement is stable, the elasticity of the transfer claw (2) is increased. The restoring force overcomes the urging force to the swing guide (2), and the product (P2, P3) is discharged from the upper end open portion for the first time.

The situation that 3) pushes up the rocking lever (60) disappears, and as a result, the product (P2, P3) falls to the lower transfer claw (2) side after pushing up the rocking lever (60). Things will disappear. That is, the product (P2, P3) is surely received before the transfer belt (1) is stopped.
Will be discharged to.
