Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vending machine, and more particularly, to a vending machine provided with a burglarproof plate which has good assemblability and can easily and reliably secure burglary resistance.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Among vending machines, particularly those which are installed indoors, a main body case and an outer door are previously set in a factory or the like due to restrictions on a depth dimension at the time of indoor loading (especially at the time of loading by an elevator). Instead of assembling, they are often assembled after being brought to the installation location. For this reason, the side plate depth dimension of the main body case of the vending machine for indoor installation is
It is formed slightly smaller than that of a vending machine for outdoor installation. The thickness (apparent thickness) of the outer door is correspondingly increased so that the depth dimension of the entire vending machine after carrying in and assembling is the same as that for outdoor installation. In particular, the thickness of the outer door on which the hinge hinge for rotation is provided is made large in order to eliminate the gap between the outer door and the main body case when the outer door is closed and to secure theft resistance.

Hereinafter, a vending machine with a microwave oven will be described with reference to an illustrated example. Here, FIG. 7 is a horizontal sectional view showing the vicinity of the center of rotation of the outer door. As shown in the figure, the outer door 102 is rotatably formed by a hinge fitting 102a, and has a product outlet 102b. When the outer door 102 is closed, the front edge 1 of the main body case 101 is closed.
In order to eliminate the gap at 01a and secure theft resistance, it is formed to have a relatively large thickness W2.

[0004] Commodities from a microwave unit (not shown) are supplied to the commodities entrance 1 of the take-out device 108 via a carrier device.
08a, and can be taken out from the product outlet 102b. Outer door escape part 1 of outlet device 108
08b is formed so that a rotation space for the outer door 102 can be secured.

[0005]

However, in the conventional vending machine, the hinge fitting 102a is required in view of the restriction on the depth of the main body case 101 and the security of theft.
Since the thickness of the outer door 102 on the mounting side is formed to be large, the outer door escape portion 108b of the outlet device 108 must be formed large because it is necessary to secure a rotation space for the outer door 102. There is a problem that the product brought in from the mouth 108a comes into contact with the outer door escape portion 108b and easily disturbs the posture, causing the product to be clogged.

Further, as the thickness of the outer door 102 increases, the depth dimension of the product outlet 102b also increases, so that there is a problem that it is difficult to take out the product.

[0007] The present invention has been made in view of the above, and even when the depth of the main body case is formed short for indoor installation, the assembling property is good and the antitheft property is easily and reliably performed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a vending machine which can secure products and prevent product clogging and can easily take out products.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a vending machine according to the present invention has a vending machine provided with an outer door rotatably formed in a main body case via a hinge fitting. , A burglarproof plate is provided detachably extending from the front edge of the main body case side plate near the hinge fitting, and covers a part of the side surface of the outer door.

By providing such a burglarproof plate,
Since there is no need to secure the thickness of the outer door itself to ensure theft resistance as in the related art, the thickness of the outer door can be reduced, and the rotation space of the outer door can be reduced.

Therefore, for example, in a vending machine equipped with a microwave oven, the internal volume of the product outlet device arranged near the hinge fitting of the outer door can be made large. Thereby, the product carried into the product outlet by the transport device does not abut on the inner wall surface of the product outlet and is disturbed in posture, thereby preventing the product from being jammed. Also,
Since the depth dimension of the product outlet of the outer door can be made small, the product can be easily taken out.

[0011]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of a vending machine according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited by the embodiment.

FIG. 1 is a horizontal sectional view showing a burglarproof board according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIGS. 2 to 4 are perspective views showing a burglarproof board, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the entire structure of a vending machine. FIG. 6 and FIG. 6 are front views showing the vending machine.

Hereinafter, a vending machine with a microwave oven will be described as an example. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the overall configuration of the vending machine includes a main body case 1, an outer door 2 and a heat insulating door 3 provided to be openable and closable with respect to the main body case 1.
A spiral rack 4 for accommodating commodities, a carry-out door 5 for carrying out commodities sent out from the spiral rack 4, and a product heated by the microwave unit 7 while carrying the carried-out commodities to the microwave unit 7. And a transport device 6 for transporting the toner to the outlet device 8.

Further, as shown in FIGS.
Is formed so as to be rotatable with respect to the main body case 1 by a hinge fitting 2a, and has a product outlet 2b. The goods from the microwave oven unit 7 are carried in from the goods carry-in port 8a of the take-out apparatus 8 via the transfer device 6, and the goods take-out 2
b. The outer door escape portion 8b of the outlet device 8 is formed so as to secure a rotation space for the outer door 2.

The front edge 1a of the main body case 1 (side plate portion) near the hinge fitting 2a is provided when the outer door 2 is closed.
In order to eliminate the gap at the door and secure theft resistance,
A burglarproof plate 10 is provided to cover a part of the side surface portion. The anti-theft plate 10 can be easily assembled at the loading site by fixing the fixing portion 10a to the inner wall surface of the main body case 1 with the screw 11.

The provision of the antitheft plate 10 eliminates the need to secure the thickness W2 of the outer door 102 itself (see FIG. 7) and ensure the antitheft property as in the prior art. Can be reduced. Therefore, as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 1, the rotation space of the outer door 2 is small, and the outer door escape portion 8b of the outlet device 8 is required.
Can be formed small, so that the outlet device 8 can be formed wide. This prevents the product brought in from the product entrance 8a from being disturbed by the outer door escape portion 8b, thereby preventing the product from being jammed. In addition, the depth dimension of the product outlet 2b is reduced, so that the product can be easily taken out.

As described above, according to the vending machine according to the present embodiment, even when the depth of the main body case 1 is formed to be short for indoor installation, the assembling property is good and the anti-theft property is improved. Can be secured easily and reliably, product clogging can be prevented, and products can be more easily taken out.

In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the antitheft plate 10 is applied to a vending machine with a microwave oven has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be applied to other vending machines.

[0019]

As described above, according to the vending machine of the present invention, there is provided a vending machine having an outer door rotatably formed on a main body case via a hinge. Since a burglarproof plate is attached to the front edge portion of the nearby main body case side plate so as to be detachable and covers a part of the side surface of the outer door, the depth dimension of the main body case is made short for indoor installation. Even in this case, the assemblability is good, the antitheft property can be easily and reliably secured, the product can be prevented from being clogged, and the product can be easily taken out.
