Even if the drive switch 25 is operated in the raised position in the above state, since the goods A are not loaded on the loading rack 22 and the pressure sensor 23 does not operate, the loading rack 22 does not rise.

Therefore, if the seller arranges the goods A on the lowered loading rack 22 and then changes the drive switch 25 to the up position, the pressure sensor 23 moves the goods A on the loading rack 22. It is determined that it is loaded, and then the motor 28 is operated to pull up the loading rack 22 to the upper side. At this time, the product A placed at the top comes into contact with the vacuum suction port 132 and the loaded product. The product fixing piece 40 installed on the loading rack 22 to keep the alignment state of (A) touches the upper position sensor 29a while stopping the motor 28 to stop the ascending operation.

As described above, when the product A is loaded and the preparation for sale is completed, the consumer inserts a coin into the money input slot 12 of the vending machine 10 and selects the desired product A by using the product selection button 14. The goods A are automatically withdrawn one by one through the outlet 16. This will be described based on the first embodiment of the present invention.

First, when a consumer inputs a certain amount of money into the money inlet 12 and presses the product selection button 14, the vacuum pump 28 is operated, and the vacuum suction connected to the hose 35 as the vacuum pump 28 is operated. A suction force capable of adsorbing the article A is generated in the sphere 32 to adsorb the article A in the vacuum suction port 32. At this time, since the product A is individually packaged using vinyl wrapping paper, the product A is easily attached to the vacuum suction port 32 regardless of its weight or size.

Thus, the vacuum suction port 32 which adsorb | sucked the goods A rotates the rotating arm 38 as a starting point in the state which adsorb | sucked the goods A when the rotary arm 38 rotates, and the said rotary arm 38 was mentioned above. Counter rotates when the product recognizes that the product is discharged and counts the number, and when the rotary arm 38 passes the top, it controls the vacuum pump 28 to remove the vacuum suction force.

The product A, which has been adsorbed by the vacuum suction port 32, is guided by the rotary arm 38 which is rotated by its own weight as the suction force is removed, and drops to the discharge space 17 and discharged to the product outlet 16. If so, the user takes out the exported goods (A).

On the other hand, the rotary arm 38 continues to rotate so as not to prevent the goods A from falling into the product outlet 16 and the stop position sensor 39b is driven when the goods A are sufficiently dropped. When the rotary arm is rotated to return to the initial position by controlling the motor, and the vacuum suction port is brought into contact with the upper surface of the product A on the loading base 22 together with the rotary arm, the starting position sensor 39a is connected to the motor. To control the status of waiting for the next sale.

This operation is equally applicable to other embodiments of the present invention. In other words, in the configuration of FIG. 4, the vacuum suction port 132 for adsorbing the goods A is reciprocated in a linear direction along a pair of guide rails 134 provided in parallel between both side plates 11a and 11b. When the product adsorption position is reached, only one product (A) on the uppermost side among the products on the loading rack 22 is selectively selected by the operation of the lifting mechanism (not shown) accommodated in the driving device 70. After moving to the discharge space 17 by adsorption, it is dropped and discharged to the product outlet 16.

As described above, the vending machine for vinyl packaging goods using the vacuum adsorption method according to the present invention individually wraps each product (A) using vinyl wrapping paper, and then loads and lifts the loading unit 20 of the vending machine. 22) by using a suction force using the vacuum suction port 32, and then to improve the product can be accurately transported to the product discharge space 17 while lifting the product wrapped in a plastic packaging one by one in the conventional vending machine The bulky products such as dried squid and dried fish such as squid, which were difficult to handle, as well as some irregularly packed dolls, can be easily sold in the same way as before.
