【発明の詳細な説明】
この発明は自動販売機、特に商品棚が複数の商品収納コ
ラムを有する多セレクション機の商品搬出装置に関する
。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a vending machine, and particularly to a product dispensing device for a multi-selection machine in which a product shelf has a plurality of product storage columns.
周知のように頭記の多セレクション自動販売機は機内に
塔載した商品棚に複数の商品収納コラムを形成し、かつ
各コラムごとに商品搬出機構を配備して、販売指令に基
づく搬出機構の動作でコラムに収納されている商品を1
個宛搬出し、商品取出口へ取出すように構成されている
。As is well known, the above-mentioned multi-selection vending machine has multiple product storage columns on product shelves mounted inside the machine, and each column is equipped with a product delivery mechanism. 1 item stored in the column with the action
It is configured to carry out individual products and take them out to a product takeout port.
この場合に商品棚と搬出機構を組合わせた搬出装置は販
売商品の形状に応じて様々な形式のものがある。In this case, there are various types of delivery devices that combine a product shelf and a delivery mechanism depending on the shape of the product to be sold.
ここで代表的な例をいくつか挙げれば、まず缶商品を扱
うものにサーペンタイン式がある。Here are some typical examples: First, there is the serpentine type that handles canned products.
これは棚内に上下に延在する蛇行形状の商品通路を形成
し、この通路内に一列に並べて収納した商品な係止、釈
放させる。This forms a meandering product path that extends vertically within the shelf, and allows products stored in a line in this path to be locked and released.
例えば周知のスタホイール式などの商品搬出機構を出口
端に配備したものである。For example, a product discharging mechanism such as a well-known starwheel type is provided at the exit end.
またびん商品販売用として広く採用されているヘリック
ス式と呼ばれるものは、びん商品を一列に重ねて収納し
た商品棚のコラムの側方にヘリックスと称する特殊な搬
送スクリュウを配備し、モータによるスクリュウの回転
駆動によりびん商品を順次下方へ送り、その最下位より
搬出させるものである。In addition, the so-called helix type, which is widely used for selling bottled products, has a special conveyance screw called a helix installed on the side of the column of the product shelf where bottled products are stacked in a row, and the screw is moved by a motor. Bottled products are sent downward one by one by rotational drive, and are carried out from the lowest position.
更に紙パツク商品の販売用として便宜なエレベータ式は
、エンドレスのドライブチェーンに複数の棚板を取付け
てここに商品を塔載し、チェーンなモータで駆動してエ
レベータ式に商品を下降し、最下位から搬出させる。Furthermore, the elevator type, which is convenient for selling paper packaged products, has multiple shelves attached to an endless drive chain, on which the products are placed, and is driven by a chain motor to lower the products in an elevator style. It is carried out from the lower level.
そのほかにもブツシャ式など各種形式の商品搬出装置が
公知である。In addition, various types of product delivery devices, such as a pusher type, are known.
一方、自動販売機は機内に塔載した商品棚の占める容積
内にできるだけ多い数の商品を収納できるよう、その商
品収納効率を高めることが望まれる。On the other hand, it is desirable for vending machines to increase their product storage efficiency so that they can store as many products as possible within the volume occupied by the product shelves mounted inside the machine.
しかして前述のように商品棚には各コラムごとに商品搬
出機構が配備されており、かつこの搬出機構を設置する
に要する占有スペースが棚内の商品収納効率に大きく影
響を及ぼす。However, as described above, the product shelf is provided with a product delivery mechanism for each column, and the space required to install the product delivery mechanism greatly affects the product storage efficiency within the shelf.
このことからいかにして商品搬送機構を空間的に効率よ
く商品棚へ配備するかが自動販売機の製作の上で極めテ
重要な課題となっている。For this reason, how to spatially and efficiently deploy the product conveyance mechanism to the product shelves has become an extremely important issue in the production of vending machines.
この発明は上述の点にかんがみなされたものであり、そ
の目的は商品収納の面からデッドスペースとなる商品搬
出機構の設置スペースをできる限り少なく抑えてコンパ
クト化を図り、商品収納効率に大いに寄与し得るように
した巧みな構成の商品搬出装置を提供することにある。This invention was made in consideration of the above points, and its purpose is to reduce the installation space of the product delivery mechanism, which is a dead space from the viewpoint of product storage, as much as possible and make it compact, thereby greatly contributing to product storage efficiency. The object of the present invention is to provide a product carrying out device with a skillful structure that achieves the desired results.
かかる目的は本発明により、商品棚内に形成した複数の
商品収納コラムのうち、隣り合う商品収納コラムを一対

基分に相応して定めた商品搬出機構収容空間を区画し、
該空間内に各コラム用の商品搬出機構を背中合わせに設
置するとともに、この際互に干渉することのないよう互
い違いに位置をずらせたことにより達成される。According to the present invention, among a plurality of product storage columns formed in a product shelf, adjacent product storage columns are set as a pair, and the distance between the columns is approximately set by the product delivery mechanism 1.
The storage space for the product delivery mechanism is divided according to the base,
This is achieved by installing the product delivery mechanisms for each column back to back in the space and staggering their positions so that they do not interfere with each other.
以下本発明に基づくいくつかの代表的な実施例を図面に
ついて詳述する。Some representative embodiments based on the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
