In this case, the gear ratio of the gear 44 and the gear 45 is set to 3:1, and the disk 47 rotates three times during one rotation of the conductive cam 15, and the push-out plate 43 also reciprocates three times to push out three pieces of change 6. It has become. In other words, when you insert one coin 2, which is a 100 yen coin, one canned juice 4 comes out, and 10
The setting is such that three yen coins (change 6) are dispensed and a change of 30 yen is received.

The setting of the number of change 6 is not limited to the above example.
This can be freely changed by setting the gear ratio of the gear 45 and the gear 45.

Although not shown, this vending machine toy 1 is provided with a coin receiver at the bottom so that it can be used as a savings box. Incidentally, the coin tray is set to be removable by a pull-out type or other means. Note that 60 is a product selection button.

Next, to explain the usage condition, first, when the coin 2 is inserted into the coin slot 3, the contact 11 of the switch mechanism 8 becomes energized, the motor 12 performs an initial movement, and the drive gear 19, gear 20, 20a , 21. Simultaneously with the conductive cam 15 starting to rotate via the shaft 22, the cam 23 rotates and comes into contact with the engagement piece 26, and the engagement plate 28 comes into contact with the protruding piece 27, pushing the contact plate flb apart and releasing the coin 2. let it fall. In this state, the contact 17 is in contact with the contact plate 18 and the conductive cam 15, so even if the contact 17 is opened, the conduction to the motor 12 continues until the conductive cam 15 rotates once. Further, the shaft 22 rotates as described above due to the rotation of the motor 12, and the cam 30 rotates for one rotation of the conductive cam 15.
is also rotated once. Therefore, due to the rotation of the cam 30, the crank 31 of the product feeding mechanism 9 is actuated to push out the pushing rod 3.
2 is moved in and out, and one canned juice 4 is pushed out and dropped into a product take-out port 5.

In this case, the product is selected using the product selection button 60. At the same time, the gear 45 is rotated by the rotation of the gear 44 of the shaft 22.
The disc 47 rotates through the crank pin 41, causing the crank arm 42 to swing. The push-out plate 43 slides back and forth by the swinging of the crank arm 44, and the three pieces of change 6 are returned from the change stocker 49 to the change return lower during one rotation of the conductive cam 15. Then, when the conductive cam 15 rotates once, the contact 17 is opened, the current supply is stopped, and the device is ready for the next use.
