Formed by bending in the horizontal direction at the lower end of the or by arranging a separate flat plate in the horizontal direction at the lower end of the variable plate 33 and integrating it through a bonding method such as welding.

The variable means 30 made as described above adjusts the area of the storage space 22 formed in the module case 21 to a size corresponding to the size of the product, so that products having various sizes can be stored in one module box 21 . This has the effect of increasing the utility of the module enclosure and at the same time increasing the convenience of sellers and buyers by being able to sell a variety of products with one bending machine.

On the other hand, when the size of the product disposed in the storage space 22 is changed, the discharge means 40 for transferring it to the door 23 side of the module case 21 should also be changed. First, the discharge means 40 according to the present invention 5 to 6, a drive motor 41 operated by the applied power and signal, and a lead screw 42 coupled to the drive motor 41 and rotating and having a spiral for movement on its outer circumferential surface, and , a transfer block formed with a pusher 43 movably disposed inside the module housing 21 and a corresponding spiral disposed on the pusher 43 and movably engaged with the moving spiral of the lead screw 42 . (44).

The driving motor 41 is disposed inside the module housing 21, receives an operation signal from the control body 10, and is connected to a separate battery or the control body 10 and a power cable through a power cable. Operates with power applied.

The lead screw 42 is made in the form of a circular rod extending in the longitudinal direction, a moving spiral is formed on the outer circumferential surface, one end is coupled to the motor shaft of the driving motor 41, and the other end is a block for position fixing (not shown in the drawing). shown), while rotating according to the operation of the driving motor 41 , the transfer block 44 to be described later moves toward the door 23 or moves away from the door 23 .

The pusher 43 is disposed in the storage space 22 of the module housing 21 , and is movably disposed on the upper surface of the bottom plate 31 of the variable means 30 .

To this end, a plurality of clouds are formed in the form of a bar extending in a horizontal direction to transmit a force for moving the product in contact with the product disposed in the storage space 22, and abutting the upper surface of the bottom plate 31 The wheels 431 are disposed at positions spaced apart from each other.

The transfer block 44 is disposed on the pusher 43 and has a corresponding spiral engaged with the moving spiral of the lead screw 42 , and the pusher 43 is moved according to the rotation direction of the lead screw 42 . It moves toward the door 23 or moves away from the door 23 .

The horizontal length of the pusher 43 among the discharging means 40 made as described above must be changed in length or angle in response to the size of the product disposed in the storage space 22, which means that the size of the placed product is the pusher. When the length of 43 is relatively large compared to the horizontal length, the area in which the pusher 43 contacts the product is narrowed. When the contact area between the pusher 43 and the product is narrow, there is a problem in that the direction of the product is changed when the pusher 43 is moved, and the product is caught on the inner wall of the module case and movement is restricted.

Therefore, when the size of the product increases and the area of the storage space 22 is expanded through the variable means 30 for this purpose, the horizontal length or angle of the pusher 43 or both of them are changed to improve the movement stability of the product. it is preferable

To this end, the pusher 43 of the present invention is configured in a multi-joint form coupled through a link. Looking in detail, the main bar 432 to which the transfer block 44 and the rolling wheel 431 are coupled, and the It includes a sub-bar 433 arranged to be foldable on the main bar 432 , and a variable bar 434 , which is rotatably arranged on the sub-bar 433 .

The main bar 432 is formed in the form of a bar extending in the horizontal direction, the transfer block 44 is disposed in the center of the horizontal direction, and extends outward from both ends in the horizontal direction, respectively, to the rolling wheel 431 . An extension bar 432b on which is disposed is provided.

At this time, in order to prevent the sub-bar 433 from being exposed to the outside in a folded state, a receiving part 432a in which the sub-bar 433 is accommodated is formed in the main bar 432 .

The sub-bar 433 is rotatably coupled to the main bar 432 through a rotating means such as a link or a hinge or is disposed to be in and out of the receiving part 432a in a slide form. It is accommodated in the accommodating part 432a or is deployed to the outside of the main bar 432 to extend the length of the entire pusher.

In addition, an arrangement portion 433a for accommodating the variable bar 434 is formed in the sub-bar 433 to prevent the variable bar 434 from being exposed to the outside of the sub-bar 433 in a folded state.

The variable bar 434 is rotatably disposed on the sub-bar 433 through a rotation means such as a link or a hinge, and the rotation means is a stopper (Fig. not shown) is further provided.

The variable bar 434 rotates upward of the sub-bar 433 as shown in the drawing, but the rotatable angle is limited to a range of 120 to 140°. Here, limiting the angle of the variable bar 434 is to rotate the variable bar when the size of the product is relatively large so as to be in contact with the product.

That is, when the variable bar 434 is arranged in the horizontal direction to coincide with the arrangement direction of the main bar 432 or the sub-bar 433, the moving force is transmitted only to the lower end of the product, and thus, depending on the size or load of the product There is a problem in that the movement stability of the product cannot be guaranteed because the product passes over the pusher or the moving pressure transmitted from the pusher is not sufficient.

Therefore, in the present invention, the variable bar 434 is rotated above the sub-bar 433 to transmit the moving pressure to the product at positions different from those of the main bar 432 and the sub-bar 433, so that when the product is moved It is possible to prevent the change of direction and improve movement stability.

The pusher 43 made as described above is used alone by the main bar 432 depending on the size of the product, or by rotating the sub-bar 433 accommodated in the main bar 432 to extend the length in the horizontal direction. Alternatively, in a state in which the sub-bar 433 is unfolded from the main bar 432, the variable bar 434 is rotated upward of the sub-bar 433 so that the main bar, the sub-bar and the variable bar are in contact with the product. It is possible to adjust the horizontal length or angle of the pusher 43 or both in response to the size or load of the product.

The fastening means 50 is for detachably coupling a plurality of product storage modules 20 formed after independently forming the product storage module 20 to each other, and through this fastening means 50, the product storage module The number and arrangement of (20) can be variously changed according to the type and number of products for sale.
