Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a product take-out device for a vending machine.

(B) Conventional technology In conventional vending machines, the inside of the product outlet is illuminated so that the customer can easily check the product delivered to the product outlet even at night. Is known, and is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 55-14674.

Such a conventional technique is such that an exhibition room for products and the like provided on the front surface of the main body, an illumination lamp that illuminates this exhibition room, a product outlet provided on the front surface of the main body, and the light of the illumination lamp is refracted and reflected to the product outlet. As described above, a reflection plate is provided on the rear surface of the exhibition room so as to face the illumination lamp, and a guide piece that transmits the light emitted from the reflection plate to the product outlet and guides the product to the product outlet. It has a different structure.

(C) Problems to be solved by the invention In the related art, the light of the illumination lamp of the exhibition room provided in the upper part is once emitted into the main body on the back of the exhibition room, and this light is sent downward through the reflection plate, Since the configuration is such that the inside of the product take-out port is illuminated through the guide piece that guides the product to the product take-out port, the light of the illumination lamp is dispersed in the main body, and the inside of the product take-out port cannot be sufficiently illuminated. Further, since the inside of the product outlet is dark, the confirmation of the sent product must be judged by the sound of sending the product.

In view of the above, the present invention provides a product outlet device for a vending machine that can sufficiently illuminate the inside of the product outlet and can easily and visually confirm the products delivered into the product outlet.

(D) Means for Solving Problems Explaining on the basis of the embodiment, the exhibition room (7) and the product outlet (6) provided on the front door (2) of the main body (1) are vertically close to each other. Provided,
A transparent plate between the bottom of the exhibition room (7) and the top of the product outlet (6)
(13) is provided to illuminate the light of the fluorescent lamp (10) in the exhibition room (7) into the product outlet (6), and a transparent panel (9) provided in front of the exhibition room (7) The lower part of the transparent plate (13) is extended to the vicinity of the transparent plate (13), and the transparent panel (9) and the transparent plate (1
The inside of the product outlet (6) can be seen through the 3).

(E) Action The present invention is provided in the exhibition room by providing the lower part of the exhibition room and the upper part of the product exit in close proximity to each other, and passing through the transparent plate provided between the exhibition room and the product exit. The light from the lighting device is applied to the inside of the product outlet, and the inside of the product outlet can be seen from the front of the main body through the transparent panel provided on the front surface of the exhibition room and the transparent plate.

(F) Embodiments Each drawing shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which (1) is a main body of a vending machine which pivotally supports a door (2) which can be opened and closed. The door (2) is provided with an operation panel (5) having a product selection button (3), a coin slot (4) and the like on the front, and a product outlet (6) at the bottom. Corresponding to the upper and lower parts of the operation panel (5), an exhibition room (7) for displaying product samples (A) is provided in the door (2), and the lower part of this exhibition room (7) is the product outlet.
In addition to extending just above (6), transparent panels (8) and (9) are arranged in front of the exhibition room (7), respectively. The upper transparent panel (8) is provided with a semi-transparent printed display portion (8A) on the upper portion.

On the other hand, in the exhibition room (7), a large number of product samples (A) are arranged in the horizontal direction.
And a fluorescent lamp (10) as a lighting device is provided behind the display portion (8A) of the transparent panel (8) and behind the operation panel (5), respectively.

(11) is a partition plate provided between the exhibition room (7) and the product outlet (6), and serves as the lower surface of the exhibition room (7) and the upper surface of the product outlet (6) as well as the upper and lower partitions. An opening (12) that connects the exhibition room (7) and the product outlet (6) is provided. And this opening (1
In 2), a transparent plate (13) made of a transparent synthetic resin plate is provided so that the light from the fluorescent lamp (10) can be directly radiated into the product outlet (6) and the product outlet. Pests that enter the inside of (6) are prevented from entering the exhibition room (7). Further, the partition plate (11) provided with the transparent plate (13) is provided in the vicinity of the lower end of the transparent panel (9), and the customer standing upright in front of the main body (1) can see the lower transparent panel (9). ) And a transparent plate (13) to be visible through the product outlet (6), the product (B) sent from the main body (1) into the product outlet (6),
It can be confirmed while standing in front of the main body (1). (14) is the inner door of the outlet that is opened by the product delivered from inside the body (1), and (15) is the outlet that is opened when the product delivered into the product outlet (6) is taken out. It's a door.

(G) Effect of the invention As described above, the invention provides the lower part of the exhibition room and the upper part of the product outlet close to each other, and the transparent plate provided between the exhibition room and the product outlet is transparent. Light from the lighting device installed in the exhibition room is radiated into the product outlet, and the inside of the product outlet is visible from the front of the main body through the transparent panel and the transparent plate provided in the front of the exhibition room. Therefore, it is possible to illuminate the product outlet sufficiently brightly, and to easily visually confirm the product delivered into the product outlet without bending in front of the main body.
