を提供することにある。However, in the above-mentioned conventional vending machine, since each product storage column and each product chute are separately installed in the product storage, the fixing bracket for the product storage column and the product chute for the product chute are used. There is a problem that the fixing brackets are separately required, and the number of parts increases. In addition, to install each product storage column and each product chute separately in the product storage,
Many assembly work in limited installation space,
It was disadvantageous in terms of assembly. Further, each product storage column and each product chute need to be installed so as to completely correspond to the top and bottom in order to smoothly transport the product. However, since they are separately installed as described above, the product storage column and the product chute are required. Due to the installation error and the like, these do not precisely oppose each other up and down, and there is a possibility of causing a failure in carrying out the product. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, an object of the present invention is to automatically assemble a product storage column and a product chute to a product storage with a small number of parts, and to smoothly carry out products from the product storage column to a product chute. To provide machines.

品を円滑に搬送できる。1 to 3 show one embodiment of a vending machine according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the vending machine, and FIG. 2 is a product in a product storage column and a product chute. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a method of assembling the storage, and FIG.
It is a perspective view which shows the assembling method of a column and a product chute. First, the overall structure of a vending machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The vending machine 1 has a vending machine main body 2 and a vertical product storage 3 and a machine room 4 inside the vending machine main body 2. The product storage 3 has a plurality of left and right serpentine-type product storage columns 5 arranged side by side. Has been established. Each of the product storage columns 5 has a gap A between adjacent columns 5, and the product storage box 3 is partitioned left and right by interposing a heat insulating partition plate 6 described later in the gap A, and the temperature is left and right. Rooms with different bands can be formed. In addition, 7a is a heat-insulating inner door that opens and closes the front of the product storage 3, and 7b is an outer door that opens and closes the front of the inner door 7a. Next, the structure of the product storage column 5 arranged in the product storage 3 will be described with reference to FIG. The product storage column 5 has two side plates 51 facing each other at a predetermined interval, and has a product input port 52 in three upper and lower stages at an upper portion between the two side plates 51.
An arc-shaped plate 53 forming a meandering product passage (three rows in the front-rear direction) is interposed below the product insertion port 52. As a result, the product introduced from the product introduction port 52 is filled in the product passage. The upper end of each side plate 51 is curved outward and has a hook piece 54, while the hook piece 54 is attached to the ceiling wall 31 of the product storage 3.
The hanging rail 32 is installed so as to correspond to the above. By hanging the hook piece 54 on the hanging rail 32 and inserting it, the product storage column 5 is housed and arranged in the product storage 3. Next, the product chute 8 arranged in the product storage 3 will be described with reference to FIG. The product chute 8 is installed below the product storage column 5, and conveys the product carried out of the product storage column 5 to a product outlet (not shown). The structure of the product chute 8 is formed in a substantially U-shaped cross section, and a shaft through-hole 82 is provided at an upper portion of both side plates 81 at three locations in the front-rear direction. Also, the inclined bottom plate 83 has its front end bent downward to form a bottom wall mounting piece 84, and the bottom wall mounting piece 84 is provided with two screw through holes 85. As shown in FIG. 2, a screw 86 is passed through the screw through hole 85, and the screw 86 is inserted into the bottom wall 33 of the product storage 3.
The product chute 8 is set in the product storage 3 by being screwed into. Product storage column 5 configured in this way
The product chute 8 is vertically connected by a connecting member 9. The structure of the connecting member 9 will be described with reference to FIG.
The connecting member 9 is composed of a connecting fitting 91 and a shaft 92, and the connecting fitting 91 has a column mounting piece 93 extending over each side plate 51 of the product storage column 5. Both ends of the column mounting piece 93 are bent to the outside of each side plate 51, and the bent portion is screwed with a screw 94, thereby fixing the connection fitting 91 to the product storage column 5. The connecting fitting 91 has a shaft penetrating piece 95 extending downward from the column mounting piece 93, and the shaft 92 can be penetrated by bending the shaft penetrating piece 95 round. The connecting fitting 91 thus configured is screwed to the lower part of the product storage column 5 in a positional relationship corresponding to the shaft through hole 82. Next, a method of attaching the product storage column 5 and the product chute 8 to the product storage 3 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. First, as shown in FIG. 3, the connecting metal member 91 of the connecting member 9 is previously inserted into the shaft through-hole 8.
2 is fixed to the position corresponding to 2 with a screw 94. Then
The lower part of the product storage column 5 and the upper part of the product chute 8 are aligned and overlapped vertically so that both ends of the shaft through piece 95 correspond to the inside of the shaft through hole 82. Subsequently, the product storage column 5 and the product chute 8 are connected by passing the shaft 92 through the shaft through hole 82 and the shaft through piece 95. Thereafter, the tip is crushed so that the shaft 92 does not come off. By performing such operations for the three connecting members 9 at the front and rear, the product storage column 5 and the product chute 8 are connected. After connecting the product storage column 5 and the product chute 8 with the connecting member 9 in this manner,
As shown in FIG.
Is hooked on the suspension rail 32 of the product storage 3, and the product storage column 5 is pushed into the interior of the product storage 3. Thereafter, a screw 86 is passed through the screw through hole 85, and the screw 86 is screwed to the bottom wall 33 of the product storage 3. Thereby, the product storage column 5 and the product chute 8 are stored and arranged in the product storage 3. According to the vending machine 1 according to the present embodiment, since the product storage column 5 and the product chute 8 are integrally connected by the connecting member 9 and thereafter are disposed in the product storage 3, the product storage column 5 and the product chute 8 are arranged in the narrow product storage 3. Need only be performed once in the upper and lower product columns 5 and the product shoots 8, and the assemblability is improved. Also, since the lower part of the product storage column 5 is fixed to the product storage 3 via the product chute 8,
It is not necessary to use a fixing bracket dedicated to the product storage column. Further, since the product storage column 5 and the product chute 8 are connected before being placed in the narrow product storage 3, the connection work can be performed precisely, and the product can be smoothly transferred from the product storage 3 to the product chute 8. Can be transported to
