Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to an internal stocker for storing products in a vending machine before loading them into a column.

[Conventional technology]

For example, in vending machines that cool and sell products, it is conventional practice to store spare products in a stocker located in a separate location from the column. (Refer to Utility Model Publication No. 57-3112).

The present invention relates to the case where the storage stocker is mounted on the back surface of at least one of a pair of side plates extending from both sides of the front door of the vending machine to the rear side of the vending machine.

Conventionally, this type of internal storage stocker was
As seen in the perspective view of the interior of the refrigerator, there are shelves 2 on the side plate 1.
In many cases, a shelf is installed on the shelf and the products are stored on the shelf. Therefore,
The products are precooled while being stored on the shelves, and the columns 4 are loaded by taking out the stored products 3 from the shelves 2 one by one.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, according to the warehouse stocker shown in Fig. 2, the operator can store and take out products from shelf 2 only once.
You have to do it one by one. For this reason, there are disadvantages in that not only a large operating space is required to facilitate the storage and removal of stock products, but also a large amount of time is required for loading the column.

[Means for solving problems]

The vending machine having an internal stocker according to the present invention has an interior with a guide structure for storing the product in the refrigerator before loading the product into the column in the refrigerator. In a vending machine having a stocker, a shelf having a guide structure is installed horizontally in multiple stages in the vertical direction from the back side of the door to the back side on the inside panel of the vending machine;
It is surrounded by both side surfaces and a bottom surface, has a U-shaped elongated cross section with an upward opening when viewed from the length direction, and is slidable in and out from the door side along the guide surface of the guide structure. It is characterized by being equipped with a storage case that is formed to allow storage.

[Effect]

With this invention, multiple products stored in a storage case can be taken in and out of the shelf along the guide surface of the shelf, unlike conventional stockers that store and remove products one by one. This requires less space for operation, and it is possible to store and take out products from shelves in a shorter time. In addition, with the present invention, it is possible to load the product into the column by pulling out the entire stock case and bringing it close to the stock case while holding the stock case in your hand, so you can load the product into the column. It takes less time.

[Example of idea]

Next, an example of an internal storage stocker having a guide structure of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the structure of an embodiment of the present invention. This figure shows the structure of the stocker inside the vending machine, excluding the back door. 11 is the side plate, 12 is the stocker shelf, 13
13a shows a stocker case, and 13a shows a handle. As seen in the figure, the stocker shelf 12 has a cross section bent into a step shape, and one step-shaped surface is formed on the back side of the side plate 11 from the side closer to the door to the back side. They are attached with screws, etc. so that they are in contact with each other. The stocker case 13 has a long U-shaped cross section surrounded by both sides and a bottom surface that opens upward, and this bottom plate slides on a guide surface formed by installing the stocker shelf 12. It can be accommodated as much as possible.

To stock the product 14, first, the stocker case 13 is pulled out as shown by the solid line via its handle 13a, and then the product 14 is stuffed into the case. Next, it is easy to understand that the stocker case 13 loaded with the products 14 will slide on the guide surface of the stocker shelf 12 and be stored in the stock position as shown by the broken line. Loading product 14 into the column is carried out using stocked product 1.
4 together with the stocker case 13 and move the stocker case 13 closer to the loading position of the column.

According to the above embodiment, the stocker shelf protruding from the side plate 11 only needs to have a margin of about 10 mm added to the dimensions of the product. In addition, by increasing the number of stockers that pair stocker shelves and stocker cases,
Stock in the vending machine can be stored in accordance with sales performance.

[Effect of idea]

As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, a plurality of products stored in a stock case (i.e., a stacker case) can be taken in and out of the shelf along the guide surface of the shelf. Not only can a stocker be installed inside the warehouse while occupying a small operating space, but the stocker case can also be used as a tray with products placed there, or when empty. You can then place the product on the stocker shelf, and you can also pull out the entire stocker case and load the product into the column while holding it in your hand. The effect of reducing the time spent loading stocks and columns is significant.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

In the figure, 11 is a side plate, 12 is a stocker shelf, 13 is a stocker case, 13a is a handle, 1
4 is a product.
