Conventionally, the sold-out detection method for powdered raw materials used in vending machines, etc., involves resetting a counter when the raw material is filled into a container, and since the amount of raw material discharged each time is constant,
This was a false detection in which the number of ejection operations was added up by a counter, and ejection was stopped when a certain number of times was reached. Therefore, it was necessary to reset the counter when filling the raw materials, and if the counter was forgotten, the discharge operation would not be performed as if the product had sold out. In addition, since the time before filling the raw material was not always constant, the number of discharges varied.

In consideration of the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention provides a lid on the top opening of a container containing powder raw materials, a raw material detector that hangs down from the lid, and discharges when the raw material detector completely hangs down to the bottom of the container. A switch is provided to stop the operation to ensure reliable non-detection.

以下図面を参考に本発明の一実施例を1説明する。An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is the main body,
It is formed into a rectangular box shape from a thin metal plate or R1 plastic, etc., and has an open top surface and a container body 1 at its bottom 2.
A sloped part 5 is formed so that it gradually becomes closer and narrower downward from both opposing side walls 3 and 40, and a raw material discharge [16 is opened at the bottom of one end 11ttl of this sloped part 5. . At the bottom of the useless container body 1 is a tilted part [section 5].
A raw material transfer body 7 spirally formed along one side is provided. This raw material transfer body 7 is opposite to the raw material discharge port 6 (lil
It is connected to the motor M at l. Reference numeral 8 denotes a stirring body for the powder raw material 4, which is rotatably attached between the side walls 3 and 4 and has a number of protrusions 9 on its outer periphery that engage with the spiral portion 7d of the transfer body 7. 10 is 1-a inch of the container body 1:
This lid body 10 (D part has a fulcrum 11
A swinging rod 11 is provided whose both ends swing vertically about a.

The switch 14 stops the operation of the motor 9,
This will stop the vending machine from operating. Furthermore, the raw material detection body 12 is closer to the side wall 3 fJ than the raw material transfer body 7.
The position is shifted closer to All. Reference numeral 16 denotes a guide body for preventing raw ore 1 detection bodies 12 from hitting the stirring body 8, and a large number of wire rods 17 are provided in the same direction as the raw material transfer body 7 at intervals of 1 width narrower than the raw ore detection bodies 12, The rough stone passes through the space between the wire rods 17 []18.

The guide body 16 is provided in the container body 1, rises from between the stirring body 8 and the raw material detection body 12 at the lower end of the side wall 3, and extends over the stirring body 8 to the upper end of the other side wall 4.

In such a device, when the lid 10 is removed from the container body 1, the raw material detector 12 can also be removed in the same way. Therefore, it is easy to fill the container body 1 with the powdered raw material from the top surface. Then, after 5 fillings, the raw material detection body 12 is placed on top of the raw material.

At this time, since the raw material detection body 12 is suspended by a string 13, due to the presence of powdered raw material, the string 13 is suspended as shown in FIG.
3 becomes slack, and as a result, the other end of the swinging rod 11 moves downward and comes to a position where it does not operate the switch 14 due to its own weight. Therefore, the motor M is enabled to operate, and the raw material transfer body 7 is rotated by the operation of the motor M for a certain period of time in response to a sales command, and the powdered raw material is discharged from the discharge port 6. As the powder raw material is gradually discharged in this manner, the raw material detection body 12 descends accordingly. At this time, the raw stone detector 1
2: No matter where it is in the container body 1, it is moved downward along the guide body 16 and does not stop when it hits the stirring body 8, so there is no possibility of false detection. Then, when the powder raw material reaches a predetermined value, the raw material detector 12 and the crab group 13 are stretched out to eliminate any slack and are completely hung down.As a result, the other end of the swinging rod 11 moves upward and the switch 14 The actuator 15 is operated and the switch 14 is used to stop the discharge operation or sales operation by the motor M.

As described above, the present invention provides a raw material detection body that is placed on the powder raw material on the lid of the container body and is lowered and suspended as the powder raw material is discharged, and this raw material detection body detects whether there is no raw powder ore. When this is detected, a switch is operated to stop the extraction of powder raw materials or the vending machine's vending machine operation, and it can directly detect the presence or absence of powder raw materials, even if there are variations in the stars when filling the raw ore. It can be detected reliably.

Unfortunately, by moving the raw material detection body in the direction of hanging down by the guide body, and by shifting the position of the raw material detection body and the raw material transfer body for raw material 4 discharge, it is possible to maintain the position where there is little change during raw material discharge. Detection operation can be performed and the operation can be made more reliable.
