In addition, although the cover plate which covers the back surface of the operation lever 94 is screwed to the protective frame 10, the figure has shown the state which removed the cover plate so that the inside of the protective frame 10 can be observed. In addition, in order to facilitate understanding in the figure, a coin input port is used as a member related to the coin recognition device 27 and the bill recognition device 28 in a state in which the coin recognition device 27 and the bill recognition device 28 shown in FIG. A return lever piece (not shown) connected to the rear end of the coin chute 21a and the return lever 23 that guides the coins inserted from the coin discriminator 27 and opens the coin sorter provided in the coin discriminator 27. ) And the opening 22a formed in the outer door 2 in which the bill insertion port 22 of the bill recognition device 28 is arranged.

  An operation lever 94 disposed in the protective frame 10 is slidably disposed in the vertical direction inside the bag-shaped door frame of the outer door 2 through a slit hole 2b formed in the door frame of the outer door 2. The engaged slider SL is engaged as shown in FIG. That is, FIG. 4 shows a schematic configuration of the handle lock 9 and the slider SL, and the operation lever 94 connected to the rear end of the operation handle 92 in the handle lock 9 is in the rectangular engagement hole SL1 formed in the slider SL. It enters and engages with the upper edge of the engagement hole SL1. The engagement hole SL1 is formed so as to extend long and open in a state where the operation lever 94 is engaged with the upper end edge of the engagement hole SL1. Further, a contact piece 941 that extends outward from the outer peripheral surface and contacts the cannula member 11 is provided at the base of the operation lever 94.

  The cannula member 11 disposed in the protective frame 10 so as to be slidable in the left-right direction is composed of a prismatic rod-shaped member. One end (left end in FIG. 3) of the cannula member 11 enters the notch SL2 (see FIG. 4) of the slider SL through the slit hole 2b formed in the bag-like door frame of the outer door 2, and engages with the slider SL. On the other hand, the other end of the cannula member 11 is formed with an engaging portion 11a (see FIG. 4) extending at right angles to the sliding direction. The contact piece 941 is disposed so as to contact. The coil spring 12 for biasing the cannula member 11 has one end locked to the door frame of the outer door 2 and the other end locked to the engaging portion 11a of the cannula member 11, and the cannula member 11 is moved to the slider SL. It is energizing towards. This coil spring 12 constitutes an urging means.

  The solenoid 13 is attached to the outer door 2 via a mounting bracket 14 in such a manner that the movable iron core 13a moves in the vertical direction. The cord 20 having one end locked to the movable iron core 13 a of the solenoid 13 is wound around a pulley 15 attached to the protective frame 10, and the other end is locked to the other end of the cannula member 11. Normally, the solenoid 13 is in a state in which the movable iron core 13a is released in a non-excited state. When the solenoid 13 is in a non-excited state, the cord 20 allows the cannula member 11 to enter the notch SL2 of the slider SL by the biasing force of the coil spring 12 and engage with the slider SL. 11 is configured so as not to prevent the sliding movement of engaging / disengaging the slider SL.

  Further, a locking member 16 having a hook piece 16 a made of a flexible leaf spring material is attached to the solenoid 13. The free end (hook tip) of the hook piece 16a of the locking member 16 is bent so that the free end side comes into contact with the flat plate surface of the movable iron core 13a which is normally released. When the movable iron core 13a is attracted by the excitation of the solenoid 13, the free end (hook tip) of the hook piece 16a of the locking member 16 moves relative to the flat plate surface of the movable iron core 13a to move the flat plate surface of the movable iron core 13a. When it gets over, it is restored and engaged with the head edge of the movable iron core 13a. With this configuration, since the movable iron core 13a is held at the suction position, the biasing force of the coil spring 12 prevents the movable iron core 13a from returning to the release position. In other words, even if the solenoid 13 is changed from the excited state to the non-excited state, the movable iron core 13a does not return to the release position. Therefore, if the solenoid 13 is energized only for a short time, the cannula member 11 is held in a state of being detached from the slider SL. be able to. The solenoid 13 constitutes a drive source that drives the cannula member 11 in a direction against the coil spring 12 to separate it from the slider SL.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, the cover member 17 is made of a sheet metal formed in a tongue shape that closes the attachment hole 29. The attachment hole 29 is formed to attach a cylinder lock (not shown) of an auxiliary lock device that double locks the outer door 2 together with the handle lock 9. A bearing 17a comprising a cylindrical portion wound in a curl shape is provided on the base end side (the lower end side in the figure) of the cover member 17, and a mounting portion for the coil spring 18 is provided at the center of the base end side of the cover member 17 by a notch. 17b is formed. A mounting bracket 19 that rotatably supports the cover member 17 includes a cylindrical portion wound in a curl shape, and a pair of bearings 19a and 19a formed so as to be positioned outside the bearing 17a of the cover member 17. The shaft member (not shown) inserted through the bearings 19a and 19a is supported. The mounting bracket 19 is a locking component mounting bracket that is fixed to the outer door 2 in advance in order to mount the above-described auxiliary locking device with a cylinder lock.

  The cover member 17 includes a coil spring 18 disposed on the mounting portion 17b in a state where the bearing 17a is disposed between the pair of left and right bearings 19a and 19a of the mounting bracket 19, and one of the pair of left and right bearings 19a and 19a. The shaft member (not shown) is inserted through and assembled. In this case, the coil spring 18 is mounted in such a manner that the cover member 17 is urged toward the mounting hole 29 with one end thereof in contact with the cover member 17 and the other end in contact with the mounting bracket 19. Accordingly, the cover member 17 is pivotally supported by the shaft member and is urged by the coil spring 18 in the direction of closing the mounting hole 29.

  The protrusion SLP formed by cutting and raising the slider SL extends to the vicinity of the cover member 17 through a slit hole 2c formed in the door frame of the outer door 2. Here, when the cover member 17 is opened from the front surface of the outer door 2 through the attachment hole 29 as shown in FIG. 3B, the protrusion SLP can be visually observed from the attachment hole 29, and The projection SLP extends upward by inserting a finger or a tool into the mounting hole 29. A form in which a finger or a tool is inserted from the mounting hole 29 and the protrusion SLP (slider SL) is directly manually operated constitutes a slider moving means.

  In such a configuration, when the outer door 2 is opened from the main body cabinet 1, the slider SL moves upward from a rectangular opening that engages / disengages with the hook metal fitting F to an up position where the hook metal fitting F can be removed. When the slider is raised, the slider holding member is locked to the upper edge of the opening and held at the raised position, as is known (for example, JP-A-2002-342827). When the slider SL is held at the raised position, the cutout SL2 with which the cannula member 11 engages is also moved upward, so that the cannula member 11 contacts the side wall of the slider SL and is directed toward the slider SL by the coil spring 12. Is in an energized state. In this state, when the outer door 2 is closed and the hook metal fitting F enters the opening of the slider SL, the slider holding member that holds the slider SL in the raised position is pressed by the hook metal fitting F to the raised position of the slider SL. Holding is released. Thus, when the slider SL slides downward and engages with the hook metal fitting F and the notch SL2 of the slider SL is lowered to a position facing the cannula member 11, the cannula member that has been in contact with the side wall of the slider SL until then. 11 enters the notch SL2 by the biasing force of the coil spring 12, and prevents the slider SL from sliding upward.

  When the outer door 2 is closed and the slider SL is engaged with the hook metal fitting F of the main body cabinet 1 to lock the outer door, the operation handle 92 of the handle lock 9 is pushed into the handle case 91, and the cylinder lock 93 is locked. The operation handle 92 is restrained and held at the storage position of the handle case 91. In this state, the operation lever 94 attached to the rear end portion of the operation handle 92 is engaged with the upper edge of the engagement hole SL1 of the slider SL (FIG. 4). Since the solenoid 13 is in a non-excited state in the normal time when the vending machine receives power supply from the commercial power source and executes the operation / sales control, the cannula member 11 is slid by the biasing force of the coil spring 12. The slider SL is prevented from sliding upward by entering the SL notch SL2. In other words, the cannula member 11 has a function of preventing a mischievous action such as closing the outer door 2 and sliding the slider SL upward and detaching it from the hook metal fitting F at the normal time when the handle lock device is in the locked state.

  When the slider SL of the outer door 2 is detached from the hook metal fitting F of the main body cabinet 1 to bring the outer door 2 into an unlocked state, a key is inserted into the key groove of the cylinder lock 93 and the clockwise direction (the outer door 2 is moved to the front). When the rotation operation is performed in the rotation direction as viewed from above, the engagement of the operation handle 92 and the handle case 91 is released by the rotation of the rotor in the cylinder lock 93. As a result, the operation handle 92 protrudes from the handle case 91 to the forward protruding position. When the operation handle 92 protruding from the handle case 91 is put on the hand and rotated counterclockwise, the operation lever 94 rotates counterclockwise to slide the slider SL upward. At the same time, the contact piece 941 provided on the operation lever 94 rotates counterclockwise (clockwise in FIG. 4), so that the engagement member 11 that is in contact with the contact piece 941 by the biasing force of the coil spring 12 is engaged. The cannula member SL slides in a direction away from the notch SL2 of the slider SL via the joint portion 11a and allows the slider SL to move upward. As a result, when the slider SL rises to the raised position and is held at the raised position by the slider holding member, the engagement between the slider SL and the hook metal fitting F is released, and the outer door 2 is unlocked. When the operation handle 92 is pulled forward in this state, the outer door 2 is opened.

  On the other hand, when the commercial power supply is stopped due to an earthquake or the like, as shown in FIG. 5, the solenoid 13 is excited and the cannula member 11 is detached from the slider SL. Here, the solenoid 13 is excited only for a short time by stopping the commercial power supply by the capacitor 120 shown in the block diagram of the in-flight feeding system shown in FIG. 6 to be described later, and causes the cannula member 11 to be detached from the slider SL. The cannula member 11 detached from the slider SL is slid toward the slider SL by the urging force of the coil spring 12 because the movable iron core 13a is held at the suction position by the locking member 16 provided on the solenoid 13. Without being removed from the slider SL. In this way, in an emergency in which the commercial power supply is stopped due to an earthquake or the like, the cannula member 11 is detached from the slider SL and allows the slider SL to move upward.

  The lock handle 9 is locked (in the locked state of the outer door 2) in an emergency when the commercial power supply is stopped due to an earthquake or the like. However, since the slider SL is unlocked by the cannula member 11, the lock handle 9 is released via the mounting hole 29. The slider SL is manually operated directly to open the outer door 2 as follows to provide the goods in the warehouse. That is, as shown in FIG. 3B, when the cover member 17 that closes the mounting hole 29 is pressed from the front surface of the outer door 2 to open the mounting hole 29, the protrusion SLP formed on the slider SL is struck by the eye. can do. That is, since the protrusion SLP is formed by cutting and raising the slider SL so as to extend to the vicinity of the attachment hole 29, the protrusion SLP can be visually observed through the attachment hole 29. Then, by opening the cover member 17, a finger or a tool is inserted into the mounting hole 29 opened to raise the protrusion SLP upward. In this case, the cannula member 11 is detached from the slider SL so as to allow the slider SL to move upward. Therefore, when the slider SL is slid to the raised position by the finger or a tool through the projection SLP to the raised position, the slider SL is held at the raised position by the slider holding member, and the engagement with the hook metal fitting F is released. Therefore, if the outer door 2 is pulled forward, the outer door 2 can be opened. Here, the operation lever 94 in the locked handle lock 9 enters the engagement hole SL1 of the slider SL. The engagement hole SL1 is engaged with the upper edge of the engagement hole SL1. When the slider SL slides upward, the operation lever 94 relatively moves in the engagement hole SL1. Therefore, the operation lever 94 causes the slider SL to move upward. The slide movement is not hindered.

  Next, an in-machine power supply system of the vending machine according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to a block diagram schematically showing a main part of the vending machine shown in FIG. In the figure, 100 is a commercial power supply (AC100V), 110 is a full-wave rectifier circuit, 120 is a capacitor as an auxiliary power supply device charged via the full-wave rectifier circuit 110, and 130 is an auxiliary power supply as a drive source when the commercial power supply is stopped.

The sales controller 160 is connected to the commercial power supply 100 via an AC / DC converter (not shown), and is driven by DC output voltages of DC 24 V and DC 8 V from the AC / DC converter.

  In the vending machine according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in the block diagram of FIG. It is configured to operate with power supply. On the other hand, the solenoid 13 operates by receiving power from the capacitor 120 charged to a predetermined voltage (for example, DC 24V) via the full-wave rectifier circuit 110 via the normally open contact 130a of the off-delay timer 130. It is configured.

  In such a configuration, during normal times, the supply of power from the commercial power supply 100 causes the LED to emit light in response to a signal from the illumination control unit 140 to brightly illuminate the product sample 7 displayed in the display room 5 and the cooling / heating control unit 150. The cooling / heating unit is operated and controlled to cool / heat the goods in the warehouse to an appropriate sales temperature. When coins or bills are inserted, the coin recognition device 27 or the bill recognition device 28 recognizes and integrates the amount of money to be inserted. Compared with the sales price of the product, the LED for displaying the sale status of the product selection button 8a emits light, and when the product selection button 8a is operated, the sales price and the input amount of the selected product are calculated and sales control is performed. When a sales signal is supplied from the section 160 to the merchandise carry-out device 170 to carry out the merchandise one by one from the merchandise rack and a change is required, a coin identification device To payout a change from 27. Further, the off-delay timer 130 does not start a time limit (timekeeping) operation in a state where the commercial power supply 100 is applied, so that the normally open contact 130a is opened. Therefore, the capacitor 120 is charged to a predetermined voltage from the commercial power supply 100 via the full-wave rectifier circuit 110, while the solenoid 13 is in a non-excited state.

  On the other hand, when the commercial power supply 100 is stopped due to an earthquake or the like, the normally open contact 130a is closed at the end of the time limit set by the off-delay timer 130 starting the time limit operation (after the time limit elapses), and the capacitor 120 The solenoid 13 is excited only for a short time by the energy stored in the. The state that the cannula member 11 is detached from the slider SL by the excitation of the solenoid 13 and the state where the cannula member 11 is detached from the slider SL is held by the locking member 16 that engages with the movable iron core 13a of the solenoid 13. Just as you did.

  As described above, in the vending machine according to this embodiment, the main body cabinet 1 whose front surface is opened, the outer door 2 that opens and closes the opening of the main body cabinet 1, and the front surface of the outer door 2 are disposed. The slider SL provided on the outer door 2 is slid from the operation lever 94 that rotates in conjunction with the operation of the operation handle 92 to engage and disengage from the hook metal fitting F provided on the main body cabinet 1 so that the outer door 2 is moved. A door lock device that locks and unlocks, and a door lock device that engages with the slider SL when the outer door 2 is locked by the door lock device, and that disengages from the slider SL when the outer door 2 is unlocked by the door lock device. In the vending machine provided with the cannula member 11 that engages and disengages from the slider SL in conjunction with the operation lever 94, the cannula member 11 is used as the slider SL. The urging means (coil spring 12) abutted on the operation lever 94 in a manner of urging in the direction to be joined, and the cannula member 11 is driven and operated in a direction against the urging means (coil spring 12). A drive source (solenoid 13) that is separated from the lever 94, and a slider moving means that slides the slider SL in a manually operated manner to disengage it from the hook metal fitting F (by inserting a finger or a tool from the mounting hole 29 to form the protrusion SLP). Directly operated manually), auxiliary power supply (capacitor 120), and control means (off-delay timer 130) for supplying power from the auxiliary power supply (capacitor 120) to the drive source (solenoid 13) when the commercial power supply 100 is stopped The cannula member 11 is normally operated by the biasing force of the biasing means (coil spring 12). The slider SL is configured to engage and disengage from the slider SL in conjunction with -94, and is driven by the drive source (solenoid 13) fed from the auxiliary power supply (capacitor 120) when the commercial power supply 100 is stopped. The slider SL is allowed to be manually operated by the slider moving means, and in the event of an emergency when the commercial power supply 100 is stopped, the slider SL is slid by the manual operation of the slider moving means to be detached from the hook fitting F, thereby locking the door. Even if the device is in a locked state (the outer door is in a locked state), the outer door 2 can be opened by the slider moving means to provide a beverage in the store. Further, since the cannula member 11 is engaged with the slider SL to keep the outer door 2 locked against an illegal act of sliding the slider SL by a manual operation of the slider moving means during normal operation. It does not impair the original function of the cannula member 11 for preventing theft by fraud.

  In the above embodiment, the capacitor 120 is used as the auxiliary power supply, the solenoid 13 is used as the drive source, and the off-delay timer 130 is used as the control means for supplying power from the auxiliary power supply to the drive source when the commercial power supply 100 is stopped. However, a power failure detection circuit using a secondary battery as the auxiliary power supply device, a motor as the drive source, and a Zener diode as the control means may be used. Further, the embodiment has been described in which a finger or a tool is inserted from the mounting hole 29 as the slider moving means and the protrusion SLP is directly operated manually. However, an auxiliary locking device with a cylinder lock is attached to the mounting hole 29 of the outer door 2 to An auxiliary operation lever for operating the slider SL may be provided at the rear end, and the slider may be operated indirectly via a cylinder lock auxiliary lock device with a key. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment.
