Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an article dispensing apparatus for an automatic vending machine of the type which contains a large number of articles arranged one after the other within an article passage such that one article is dispensed from the front side of the article passage when the article is purchased.
  • an article dispensing apparatus 50 has an article rack 51 partitioned by a central partition wall 54 to form two article passages 52 on the right and left sides.
  • a transparent open/close plate 55 is arranged for opening and closing dispensing ports of the article passages 52.
  • pushers 56 are arranged such that a large number of articles S are contained in the respective article passages 52 one after the other, as sandwiched between the open /close plate 55 and the pushers 56.
  • the open/close plate 55 is linked to the front end of a driving shaft 59 through a gear, which extends through the partition wall 54.
  • the driving shaft 59 is driven by a driving mechanism (not shown) disposed behind the article rack 51 for rotation.
  • a flapper 58 is arranged continuously with the front end of each of the article passages 52.
  • the flapper 58 is linked to the driving shaft 59 through an interlock mechanism 60, so that it is supported in a horizontal posture during a purchase waiting state (see Fig. 4).
  • the driving mechanism When the article S is purchased, the driving mechanism is actuated to rotate the driving shaft 59 in a predetermined direction over a predetermined angular distance, as illustrated in Fig. 5, causing the open/close plate 55 to pivotally move to open the article passage 52 of the opposite side.
  • the flapper 58 of the opened article passage 52 is released from the supporting of the interlock mechanism 60, so that it is fee to pivotally move in a front downward direction. This causes the article (purchased article) S positioned at the forefront of the opened article passage 52 to be dispensed therefrom.
  • the article dispensing apparatus 50 is also provided with two holders 57 for holding the second article (next sold article) from the front to prevent it from being dispensed when the first article is being purchased.
  • Each of the holders 57 which may be formed of a bent plate (see Fig. 4), has a rear end portion pivotably supported by a supporting shaft 62 arranged perpendicular to a holder support 61 disposed in the partition wall 54.
  • each of the holders 57 is arranged for advancement and retraction relative to a corresponding article passage 52 from an opening of the partition wall 54.
  • the driving shaft 59 extends between the two holders 57 through notches formed through rear lower portions of the respective holders 57.
  • the driving shaft 59 is integrally formed at this portion with a cam 63.
  • the cam 63 is an eccentric cam which has a cam surface 63a only on one side with respect to the driving shaft 59 (on the upper side in Fig. 2). Also, each of the holders 57 is urged by associated springs, not shown, toward a retracting position.
  • the holder 57 of the article passage 52 With the rotation of the driving shaft 59 responsive to a purchasing manipulation, the holder 57 of the article passage 52, from which an article is to be dispensed, is pressed by the cam surface 63a of the cam 63 so that it protrudes into the article passage 52. Thus, the holder 57 sandwiches the next sold article S with a side wall 52a opposite thereto, so that the next sold article S is supported thereby against a pressing force of the pusher 56. In this event, the other holder 57 is maintained in a retracted state within the partition wall 54 by an urging force of the spring.
  • the article dispensing apparatus 50 mentioned above still has room for improvement in the following aspects.
  • the article dispensing apparatus 50 when an article S is purchased, the article S is supported by only the protruding holder 57 associated with the article passage 52, from which the article S is to be dispensed, so that a pressing force of the pusher 56 acts as a large moment onto the supporting shaft 62 for supporting the holder 57 through the next sold article S.
  • the holder support 61 for supporting the supporting shaft 62 must be extended downwardly beyond the driving shaft 59 such that the holder support 61 is supported by the partition wall 54 over a large supporting area thereof, in order to support this large moment.
  • the present invention has been made to solve the problem as mentioned above, and its object is to provide an article dispensing apparatus for an automatic vending machine which is capable of appropriately supporting a holder for a next sold article in a simple, compact and inexpensive structure.
  • an article dispensing apparatus for an automatic vending machine comprises an article rack having right and left article passages formed therein for containing a large number of articles arranged one after the other, wherein the article passages are partitioned from each other by a partition wall, and each of the article passages has a dispensing port at a front end thereof, article racks partitioned from each other by a partition wall, each of the article racks having a dispensing port at a front end thereof and having right and left article passages formed for containing a large number of articles arranged one after the other, a driving shaft extending within the partition wall in a longitudinal direction, an open/close member driven by the driving shaft to open the dispensing port of the article passage when an article is purchased, pushers for pressing articles contained in the article passages toward the front, a holder support having a supporting shaft extending in the vertical direction, and disposed in the partition wall, and right and left holders pivotably supported by the supporting shaft, each of the holders pivotally
  • the open/close member closes the dispensing port of the article passage in a purchase waiting state, so that a large number of articles are contained one after the other in the article passage, as sandwiched between the open /close member and the pusher.
  • the driving shaft is rotated to drive the open/close member to open the dispensing port of the article passage, thereby dispensing the article at the forefront (sold article) from the article rack.
  • the right and left holders are driven by the cam to protrude into the right and left article passages (to a protruding position), respectively, to hold the second articles from the forefront (next sold articles) of the respective article passages.
  • a smaller holder support may be utilized, and a structure for forcing the partition wall to support the pressing forces of the pushers is not necessary, thereby making it possible to make the holder support compact and simplify the partition wall.
  • a bending moment acting on the driving shaft becomes very small, the driving shaft and other bearings need not be reinforced. With a reduction in size and a simplified structure as mentioned above, it is possible to reduce the cost.
  • the holder support includes right and left stoppers each extending outside of the supporting shaft, where each of the stoppers is arranged to define a small gap between an associated one of the right and left holders and the stopper itself when it is positioned at the protruding position.
  • the driving shaft is slightly deformed toward the sold-out article passage, so that the holder associated with that article passage comes in contact with the holder support and is stopped or supported thereby.
  • a large moment will not act on the supporting shaft, and a sufficient protruding amount can be ensured for the other holder, thereby making it possible to hold the next sold article without hinderance.
  • an automatic vending machine 2 is of a so-called see-through type which allows potential purchasers to externally view articles, actually sold thereby, such as canned beverages, packed beverages and so on.
  • the automatic vending machine 2 comprises a vending machine body 3 which contains an article dispensing apparatus 1 according to the present invention, a main door 4 attached on the front of the vending machine body 3, and a transparent heat-insulating door 5 positioned between the vending machine body 3 and the main door 4.
