Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a direct loading type product dispensing device.

Prior Art This type of product dispensing device is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-30189.
It is constructed as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. It is arranged in the center of the U-shaped frame 1, and the inside of the frame 1 has two product storage paths 2.
A partition frame 3 with a rectangular cross section that divides into ₁ and 2 ₂ , an inner wall 4 with an L-shaped cross section fixed to both side walls of the frame body 1,
It has an upper end frame 5 fixed to the upper end of the frame 1 and a lower end frame 6 fixed to the lower end of the frame 1. A drive shaft 7 is inserted into the partition frame 3 and whose upper and lower ends are rotatably supported by bearings 8 of the upper end frame 5 and the lower end frame 6;
is a product support device provided at the lower end of the partition frame 3, and is composed of the following items.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a semicircular product support plate, and a boss portion provided at the center of the arc is fitted onto the drive shaft 7 and is pinned. Further, in the non-dispensing state, the product support plate 10 projects into both product storage paths 2 ₁ and 2 ₂ through the holes in the partition frame 3, as shown in FIG. 11 is a pair of support shafts whose both ends are supported by the partition frame 3 directly above the product support plate 10; 12 is a pair of support shafts whose through holes at the base end are rotatably fitted onto the support shafts 11; A product receiving plate is placed on a product support plate 10, and on each of these receiving plates 12, brickpack products 13, which are containers made of paper and synthetic resin materials and filled with contents, are stacked. There is. 14 is a window formed on both side walls of the partition frame 3; 15 is a product holding plate whose upper end hole part is rotatably fitted onto the support pin 16 and whose lower end bent part is positioned within the window 14; 17 is the product holding plate 15
A fan-shaped product holding cam is provided facing the bent portion of the lower end of the cam, and a boss portion provided at the base of the cam is fitted onto the drive shaft 7 and is fixed to the drive shaft 7. The drive shaft 7 is intermittently rotated by a drive motor (not shown) every 180 degrees in the direction of arrow A each time the product 13 is dispensed. When dispensing product 13 of product storage route 2 ₁ on the left side,
The product holding cam 17 pushes the product holding plate 15 to the imaginary line position in FIG. 4, presses the second product 13 ₂ from the bottom against the inner wall 4, and holds the product 13 ₂ and the products 13 ₃ , 13 ₄ above it... After that, the product support plate 10 and the receiving plate 12 are disengaged, and the receiving plate 12 rotates around the support shaft 11 to the imaginary line position in FIG _. paid out.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The product 13 can be short or long, and the frame 1 and partition frame 3 are made according to the length. In Figure 6 a, when the length is as short as l ₁ ,
FIG. 6b shows the case where the length is l ₂ .

When manufacturing two types of vending machines in this way, the frame 1 has a depth corresponding to the length of the product 13;
and a partition frame 3 whose length corresponds to the length of the product 13.
It is necessary to manufacture each separately, which causes an increase in production costs.

An object of the present invention is to provide a product dispensing device that can use as many common parts as possible, whether it is a device for dispensing long products or a device for short products.

Means for Solving the Problems The product dispensing device of the present invention includes a frame body that has a U-shaped cross section and extends in the product stacking direction, and a frame body that is disposed in the center of the frame body and has two product storage areas on the left and right inside the frame body. a partition frame that divides the product storage path into channels, a product support device that is provided at the bottom end of the product storage path and supports the second product from the bottom end and releases support for the bottom product; In the direct stacking type product dispensing device, the partition frame is divided into a plurality of parts in the depth direction of the frame body, and a drive shaft extending in the product stacking direction and driving the product support device is provided. It is characterized by being constructed of a main partition frame in which the device is disposed, and an auxiliary partition frame connected to the main partition frame to extend the length of the frame in the depth direction.

Function According to this configuration, by connecting the auxiliary partition frame to the main partition frame and using it, it can be used as a partition frame for long products, and by removing the auxiliary partition frame and using only the main partition frame. Since the length in the depth direction is shortened, it can be used as a partition frame for short products, and the main partition frame is a common part.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. Components having the same functions as in FIGS. 4 to 6 showing the conventional example will be described with the same reference numerals.

FIG. 1b shows a product dispensing device for handling products with a length l ₂ , in which a partition frame 3 is arranged in the depth direction of the frame body 1, including a first member 18 as an auxiliary partition frame and a second member 18 as a main partition frame. It is divided into two members 19. The first member 18 is a U-shaped frame on which a flange portion 20 is formed, as shown in FIG.
The length in the depth direction is (l ₂ −l ₁ ).
The second member 19 is composed of a first and second U-shaped frame 21a and 21b divided into left and right halves,
The length of the frame body 1 in the depth direction is _l1 .

When handling long products, bolts 2 are attached to the first member 18, as shown in Figures 1b and 2.
2, the first and second frames 21a, 2 of the second member 19
1b, and the first and second frames 21a, 21
The front ends of b are connected and fixed by a connecting plate 23. After the second member 19 has been attached, the first member 18 is attached to the frame 1 with the bolt 24.
can be attached to.

When handling short products, as shown in FIG. 1a, the first and second frames 21a of the second member 19,
21b can be directly attached to the frame 1 with bolts 25.

In this way, the lengths of the first and second frames 21a and 21b of the second member 19 are set to the length l ₁ of the partition frame 3 required when handling short products, and the first member 18 Since the length of is set to (l ₂ - _{l 1} ), the second member 19 can be used as a common part between the product dispensing device that handles long products and the product dispensing device that handles short products. It suffices to produce as many small first members 18 as the required number of product dispensing devices to be handled, which is effective when mass producing two types of product dispensing devices.

Effects of the invention As described above, according to the invention, in a direct stacking type product dispensing device, the partition frame that divides the inside of the frame body, which has a U-shaped cross section and extends in the product stacking direction, into two left and right product storage paths, A main partition frame that is divided into a plurality of parts in the depth direction of the body and in which the drive shaft and the product support device are arranged, and an auxiliary partition frame that is connected to the main partition frame and extends the length of the frame body in the depth direction. By connecting the auxiliary partition frame to the main partition frame, it can be used as a partition frame for long products, and by removing the auxiliary partition frame and using only the main partition frame, it can be used as a partition frame for long products. Since the length is shortened, it can be used as a partition frame for short products, and the main partition frame can be used as a common part between the product dispensing device that handles long products and the product dispensing device that handles short products. It suffices to produce as many small auxiliary partition frames as the required number of product dispensing devices to be handled, which is effective when mass producing two types of product dispensing devices.
