置を設けたものが提案されている。As a product takeout structure of this kind of vending machine, for example,
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-156393, the side of the ascending / descending path of the commodity purchasing operation body and the parts corresponding to the highest and lowest positions of the commodity purchasing operation body are A call button for the product purchasing operation body,
A sensor for detecting that the product purchasing operation body has reached the end of the ascending / descending path is provided, and based on the operation signal of the call button and the detection signal of the sensor, the operated path end of the call button side. It has been proposed to provide a control device for driving and controlling the elevating and lowering drive mechanism so that the commodity purchasing operation body is located in the section.

めのセンサが必要で、制御系全体が複雑化するととも
に、製造コストの高騰を新たに招来する問題がある。In addition, as a measure to solve such a problem in taking out the product, it is conceivable to attach a large number of the call buttons at a very small pitch along the ascending / descending path of the product purchasing operation body. As many sensors as required to detect the stop position of the commodity purchasing operation body are required as many as the number of call buttons attached, which complicates the entire control system and causes a new increase in manufacturing cost.
本考案の目的は、制御系の簡素化と製造コストの低廉化
とを図りながら、あらゆる背丈の購買者に対応した任意
の高さ位置で商品を取り出すことができるようにする点
にある。An object of the present invention is to enable a product to be taken out at an arbitrary height position corresponding to a buyer of any height while simplifying the control system and reducing the manufacturing cost.
