Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (A) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an article delivery device that sequentially guides articles stored in a storage body to an outlet.

(B) Prior art In general, article delivery devices such as automatic vending machines for newspapers and magazines, automatic cash withdrawal devices at banks, etc., send thin articles through two rollers to a takeout port in response to an ejection signal. There is.

(C) Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the above-mentioned prior art, since both a means for placing or supporting the article in the storage body and a means for delivering the article are required, the cost of the article delivery device is high. Not only did this pose a problem, but the structure did not allow it to handle thick articles.

100 Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides vertically stacked cubic or rectangular parallelepiped articles (A1) to (A4).
), and a storage body (2) for storing a storage body (2), which is arranged directly below the article, horizontally and inclined obliquely in a plan view with respect to the article, parallel to each other, and having a slightly small separation dimension depending on the thickness of the article. Two rollers (31 (41), at least one of which is driven by an electric motor (9), constitute the article delivery device (1), and the article (A1) is placed diagonally on both rollers. Thereafter, the lower article (A1) is guided between the rollers by the rotational force of the rollers, and this article is sandwiched between the rollers (3) + 4-1 and sent to the outlet (5). It is.

(E) Function Both rollers (3H4) are loading members that receive the total load of the articles (A1) to (A4) stacked in the storage body (2) on their upper surfaces and change the direction of the articles. It functions as a direction changing member that holds the article and sends it out to the outlet (5).

(to) Examples The following is a detailed explanation of the present invention based on the drawings: (1)
is an article delivery device that delivers cube- or rectangular-shaped articles (A1) to (A4) one box at a time, each box containing, for example, bottled drinks packed in dozens, and is a storage body that stores the articles stacked vertically. (2) and two parallel rollers (31 (41) arranged at the lower part of the storage body. An outlet (5) is formed at the lower front of the storage body, and an outlet (5) is formed at the bottom of the storage body. is a guide plate that slopes downward (6)
is provided, and furthermore, a guide member (force (8)) is provided directly above the center of both rollers to guide the lower article (A1). Both rollers are made of an elastic material such as rubber. ,
They are arranged horizontally and obliquely in plan view with respect to the article, and the mutual separation dimension (g) is each article (AI) - (
The thickness is slightly smaller than that of A4). (9) is an electric motor that drives the roller (4), and 00)αυ is a bearing that receives the shafts of both rollers. αa is a push button switch for starting delivery provided on the front surface of the storage body (2), ■ is a switch for ending delivery such as a micro switch provided on the guide plate (6), and as shown in Figure 4, the push button Switch α (A) is connected to the power supply (1?) via relay aQ.
The switch (19) is connected in series with the normally open contact (16a) of the relay and the motor (9).

Between the pushbutton switch and relay ff9, and the normally open contact (
16a) and the electric motor (9) are connected by a line α rod for self-holding of the relay.

Next, the delivery of articles (A1) to (A4) will be explained.

The article (A1) located in the lower row is placed diagonally to both rollers (3) and (4) as shown by the chain line in FIG.
When the pushbutton switch Q4) is pressed in a state where the motor (9) is mounted and is tilted, the relay tlCC is energized and its normally open contact (16a) is closed, the motor (9) is driven, and the relay 06) is self-maintained. As rotational stress is applied to the electric motor (9) in the driving direction, the roller (3) also moves in the direction of arrow B.
The article (A1) is guided between both rollers t3) and (4) as shown by the solid line. This guided article (A1
) is held between both rollers (3) (41) as shown in Fig. 3, and is guided downward by the frictional force of the side surfaces of these rollers, and then falls onto the guide plate (6), and due to the inclination of this guide plate. A guide plate (
6) Due to the fall, the switch 0η is temporarily opened, and the power/assistance (9) is stopped from driving, and the self-holding of the relay (16) is also released. Note that the articles (A2) to (A4) are also sent out in the same manner.

Therefore, according to the structure, both rollers + 3O4) are the mounting member that receives the total load of the articles (A1) to (A4), the direction changing member that guides the lower article between the rollers (31 (41), and the article ?Since it also serves as the function of the sending member that clamps and sends out the article to the take-out port (5), the sending mechanism for the article (AI)-(A4) is simplified, and in addition, it is possible to provide an inexpensive article sending device (1). , only when the lower article (A1) is held between the sides, both rollers j3) (41)
Since the length is such that the total load of ~(A4) is applied as a frictional force, the time during which the frictional force of both rollers (3++41) supports the total load is shortened, and there is less failure of the electric motor (9), and the product (
A1) to (A4) can be delivered to the outlet 15).

(G) Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, since both rollers function as an article placement member, a direction changing member, and a delivery member, the funeral article delivery device can be configured simply and inexpensively, and the article By placing the rollers diagonally on both rollers, the load when driving the electric motor can be reduced and the durability of the electric motor can be improved.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. A storage body for storing cubic or rectangular parallelepiped articles stacked in the vertical direction; It consists of two rollers with a distance slightly smaller than the thickness of the article, at least one of which is driven by an electric motor, and after the article is placed diagonally on these rollers, the lower stage is moved by the rotational force of the rollers. An article delivery device that guides an article between rollers, pinches the article between the rollers, and delivers the article to a takeout port.
