Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field The present invention relates to a product replenishment shelf device for a vending machine.

(b) Conventional technology Conventionally, a storage shelf having a product input port opened at the top and a product delivery port opened at the bottom is provided in a storage chamber that is cooled or heated, and the product delivery port and the product delivery port are connected to each other. Vending machines are generally known that are provided with an openable/closable storage chamber door that closes off the storage chamber by opening a corresponding part, and are equipped with a product replenishment shelf in front of the storage chamber door. 56−159862
It is shown in the publication No.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention The storage chamber door in the prior art has the following problems when the main door, which is pivotally supported on the front of the vending machine body, is opened:
Since it is installed to prevent cold or warm air from flowing out of the storage room, it has a relatively simple structure. Therefore, when a case containing a large number of products for loading is placed on the product replenishment shelf attached to the front of the storage room door, a large load is placed on the storage room door, causing the door to drop down, etc. This resulted in a problem.

Based on this, the present invention is a vending machine product that can support the cases without applying the load to the storage compartment door, even when a case containing a large number of products is placed on the product replenishment shelf. A replenishment shelf device is provided.

(d) Means for solving the problem The product replenishment shelf device according to the present invention includes a storage shelf with a product input port opened at the top and a product delivery port opened at the bottom in a storage chamber that is cooled or heated. , and an automatic vending machine comprising: a storage chamber door that can be opened and closed to close the storage chamber by opening parts corresponding to the product delivery port and the product input port; and a product replenishment shelf provided in front of the storage chamber door. In the machine, a support member and a locking member are provided at intervals above and below the front surface of the storage shelf, and an opening is provided in the storage chamber door to expose the support member and the locking member to the front, The replenishment shelf is supported by being removably engaged with the support member and the engagement member exposed at the opening of the storage chamber door.

(E) Function The support member and locking member provided on the front side of the storage shelf are exposed to the opening of the storage compartment door in the closed state, and the product replenishment shelf is removably locked and supported by the support member and the locking member. Then, the load of the cases placed on the product replenishment shelf is applied to the storage shelf, and the load of the cases is not applied to the storage room door.

(f) Examples The drawings illustrate embodiments of the invention.

1 is the main body of the vending machine, and the product outlet 2 is on the front.
etc., and a main door 3 having a heat insulating wall on the back side is pivotally supported so as to be openable and closable. Storage chambers 4 and 5 formed by heat insulating walls are provided within the main body 1, and these storage chambers 4 and 5 are cooled or heated by a cooling device 6 or a heating device (not shown). .
Reference numeral 7 denotes a product storage shelf having a product input port 7A at the upper end of the front surface and a product output port 7B at the lower end. There is a substantially L-shaped support part 8A.
A support member 8 is provided, and a locking spring 9 having elasticity is provided at a position corresponding to the upper end. Furthermore, a locking member 10 having a locking portion 10A is provided on the front surface of the product storage shelf 7 below the support member 8. Reference numeral 11 denotes a plate-like storage chamber door with rotating parts 12 provided above and below one side end, and the rotating parts 12 are approximately attached to rotating part receivers 13 provided in the main body 1 in front of the storage chambers 4 and 5. L
A product passage 15 is rotatably and detachably mounted on a shaft rod 14 bent into a letter shape, and leads from the product input port 7A and product output port 7B to the product output port 2.
The storage chambers 4 and 5 are closed so as to be openable and closable with the portions corresponding to the storage chambers 4 and 5 open. That is, the storage chamber door 11 connects the rotating part 12 to the rotating part receiver 13.
The product is mounted on the rotating part receiver 13 so as to be rotatable and removable by the shaft rod 14, which is positioned corresponding to the rotating part 12 and the rotating part receiver 13 so as to be freely insertable and detachable. The front surfaces of the storage chambers 4 and 5 other than the portion corresponding to the input port 7A and the product passage 15 are closed so as to be openable and closable. Further, the storage chamber door 11 provided on the front surface of the storage chamber 4 is formed with openings 16 that open corresponding to the support member 8 and the locking member 10 when the door is closed, and the support portion of the support member 8 is formed when the door is closed. 8A and the locking portion 10A of the locking member 10 are exposed to the front surface of the storage chamber door 11 through the opening 16, respectively. Reference numeral 17 denotes a product replenishment shelf formed by rotatably connecting a placing part 17A and a supporting part 17B, and the end of the placing part 17A is attached to the supporting part 8A of the support member 8 so as to be rotatable. Under normal conditions, the connecting portion 17C is rotated above the support member 8, and the mounting portion 17A and the support portion 17B are brought into contact with the storage chamber door 11 in substantially parallel to the storage chamber door 11, and the storage chamber A locking piece 1 rotatably supported on the door 11
8 so that the connecting portion 17C is locked and held;
Further, when the main door 3 is opened to open the product input port 7A to replenish products, the connecting portion 17C is released from the locking piece 18 and the end of the support portion 17B is engaged with the support portion 8A. By stopping the connection part 17C
protrudes forward of the storage chamber door 11, and the mounting portion 17A is positioned substantially horizontally. Therefore, when replenishing products, products in cans packed in boxes or the like are placed on the placing portion 17A forming a horizontal surface.

(g) Effects of the invention As described above, the present invention provides a support member and a locking member on the front of the storage shelf, and also provides an opening in the storage chamber door that exposes the support member and the locking member to the front. Since the product replenishment shelf is removably attached to the exposed supporting member and the locking member, the load of the product replenishment shelf and the products placed on this product replenishment shelf can be easily attached to the closed storage chamber door. It doesn't cost anything,
Therefore, even if the storage room door has a simple structure, it will not cause problems such as the door falling down. Also,
When inspecting the storage chamber, the product replenishment shelf can be easily removed from the supporting member and the locking member, so that the storage chamber door can be easily opened and closed without any hindrance.
