2) In the case of 1), the average effective utilization space belonging to 1 gate is 8cm

The goods dispenser 16 divides the width of the shelf into a plurality of gates 13 having a width w and is interlocked with the bucket to push the goods toward the gate 13. The structure of the dispenser will be described below.

A merchandise withdrawal frame 18 which is installed at an arbitrary position on the shelf 14 as a bracket 17 and divides the merchandise compartment view space of the shelf into the gates 13 and incorporates devices for driving the plate 21; The supporting roll 19 is supported on the upper and lower guide surfaces 18a of the frame 18 and the traveling wheels 20 are supported on the inner rail 18b to mount the goods mounted in the partitioned space on the shelf 14, A drive belt 23 supported by the flies 22 and 22a provided at both inner ends of the frame 18 and the outer drive flipper 22 to be connected to the bucket 22, An interlocking gear 24 coupled to the bucket-side driving gear 52 to transmit a belt driving force when the bucket-side driving shaft 50 approaches the bucket driving gear 52, 23a are connected to the jig 26a so that the plate 21 is moved forward and backward within the length of the frame 18 by the driving force of the belt 23, A clutch 26 for disconnecting the jig 27 from the jig 23a by contacting the safety pin 29 when the gate 23 approaches the gate 13 and blocking the transmission of the driving force, And is provided as a gate mark 15 for providing the position of the gate with respect to the sensor on the bucket 50 side.

The gate mark of the embodiment employs a light reflection film.

The operation of the goods withdrawal machine will now be described.

The product p is mounted on the area of the gate 13 on the shelf 14 partitioned by the frame 18. [ The implementation of the product places the product (p) in one line for each gate. For example, the product Pa mounted in the space of the gate 13 in Fig. 9 is separated from the plate 21, and the product can not be taken out. 9 is connected to the plate 21, and when the plate 21 moves toward the gate 13, one item of the tip end portion is released from the gate 13 and is transferred to the bucket.

When the bucket 50 is connected to the gate and drives the interlocking gear 24, a driving force is transmitted to the belt 23 to move the plate 21. The movement of the plate 21 moves the row of goods to the gate so that one merchandise is released from the shelf 14 through the gate 13. The control unit 100 detects the goods withdrawn from the bucket 50 and stops the driving of the belt 23. [ However, if no product is mounted on the shelf, or if all the mounted products are discharged, the plate 21 approaches the gate 13 and contacts the slope 27 with the safety pin 26. [ As a result, even if the bucket 50 drives the belt 23, the belt 23 and the plate 21 are separated from each other, thereby stopping the advance of the plate 21. In this case, even if the bucket 50 is monitored for a predetermined period of time, the control unit 100 regards the goods of the gate as being sold out and stores the sold-out information in the gate map table 91t, .

The two-dimensional conveyor 30 is provided with an X-axis timing flip 33 in which a timing belt 32 is wound on both ends of an X-axis rail 31 mounted on an upper portion of a cabinet 11, The Y-axis carrier 45 is attached to the X-axis timing belt 32 and the one side flip 33 is mounted on the geared motor Xm Axis distance detector Xe is mounted on the drive unit of the geared motor Xm and the X-axis rail 31 is connected to the output of the limit switch Xs1, Xs2 of the groove 51 and the limit switch Xs3 for detecting the X coordinate of the groove 51 are mounted and the motor Xm drive driver Xmd and the distance detector Xe and the switches Xs1, Xs2, Xs3 are connected to the microcomputer 90, And an X-axis coordinate driving system is provided,

At the same time, a Y-axis timing flip 43 in which a timing belt 42 is wound on both ends of the Y-axis rail 41 is mounted, and the running wheels 44 of the moving head 40 are driven in a Y- And a moving head 40 is attached to the Y-axis timing belt 42. One side flip is connected to the output of the geared motor Ym to drive the Y-axis timing belt 42. The Y- The Y-axis rail 41 is provided with limit switches Ys1 and Ys2 for Y coordinate detection in the upper and lower ends of the set of regions 12 and a limit switch Ys3 for Y coordinate detection in the groove 51 A Y-axis coordinate driving system is provided by connecting the driving driver Ymd of the motor Ym, the distance detector Ye and the limit switches Ys1, Ys2 and Ys3 to the microcomputer 90,

A marker 15 for detecting the position of the gate 13 is attached as a sensor Msen to the distal end of the ejector 16 and the sensor Msen is attached to the distal end of the ejector 16 with a marking suitable for detecting the gate mark 15, And a sensor (Msen) is connected to the microcomputer (90).

The sensor (Msen) of the embodiment is regarded as a light-emitting diode and a photodetector transistor combination sensor and detects the gate 13 when detecting the reflected light of the mark 15 in the photodetection transistor.

Table 5 shows the gate map table 91t that the controller 100 microcomputer 90 drives the two-dimensional conveyor 30 and creates on the memory 91 at the time of initialization.

<Table 5>

Gate Map Table Example

The gate number 00 is assigned to the coordinates of the groove (numerical value is an example)

Gate number X coordinate Y coordinate Sold out flag 00 120 250 0 01 10 10 0 02 20 10 0 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

The two-dimensional conveyor 30 is driven by the microcomputer 90 driving the geared motors Xm and Ym through the drivers Xmd and Ymd respectively in the forward direction or the reverse direction to move the head 40 on which the bucket 50 is mounted Dimensional plane of the set of zones (12).

Specifically, the X-axis coordinate system motor Xm drives the belt 32 to orbit the carrier 45 on the rail 31, and the Y-axis coordinate system motor Ym drives the belt 42 to drive the head 40, Orbit on the rail (41). The carrier 45 opens and closes the switches Xs1, Xs2 and Xs3 while moving on the X-axis rail 31. The head 40 moves on the Y-axis rail 41 to move the switches Ys1, Ys2 and Ys3 Thereby allowing the microcomputer 90 to track the position of the head 40 as a result of opening and closing.

The microcomputer 90 sequentially drives the X-coordinate driving system and the Y-coordinate driving system in the initial stage of initialization in the same manner as described above so that the detection position of the switches Xs1, Xs2, Xs3 and the value of the distance detector Xe (Ys1, Ys2, Ys3) signal and the value of the distance detector (Ye) at the time of detecting the switch signal are stored to obtain the X-coordinate value of the zone set Y Obtain the Y coordinate values of the starting point, end point and groove of the coordinates and refer to this value in the control. The setting of the coordinate values is made by setting the values of the distance detectors Xe and Ye at the time of contact of the X, Y coordinate drive start point switches Xs1 and Ys1 to zero and setting the distance detectors Xe and Ye at the contact of the end point switches Xs2 and Ys2, , Ye), and the X coordinate end point and the Y coordinate end point value of the zone set are managed. When the switch (Xs3, Ys3) is contacted, the value of the distance detector (Xe, Ye) Management.

The microcomputer creates and manages the gate map table of Table 5 in the initialization step 2. The first coordinate of the gate map contains the two-dimensional coordinates of the groove.

In the first step, the head 40 is moved to the detected coordinates by the first switches Xs1 and Ys1, and the values of the distance detectors Xe and Ye are initialized to 0 and 0, respectively.

In the second step, the Y axis is moved to the shelf height adjustment interval (5 cm in Table 2), and then the gate mark 15 is detected through the sensor Msen while moving to the coordinates of the second switch Xs2 of the X axis. When the gate mark 15 is detected, the gate numbers are sequentially assigned from 1, and at the same time, the values of the distance sensors Xe and Ye are read at the same position, and the read distance values are recorded in the gate map table as coordinate values of the corresponding gate do.

When the contact signal of the zone end point switch Xs2 is detected in the X-axis drive system, the head 40 is moved to the coordinate of the X-coordinate 0, the Y-axis drive system moves the Y-axis of the shelf height adjustment interval, Scanning the X-axis.

The X axis scanning is repeated up to the Y axis position switch of the Y axis driving system so that the shelf 14 is arranged at an arbitrary height and the goods dispenser 16 is installed at any position of the shelf to arrange any arbitrary gate 13) coordinate information in the gate map table 91t.

When the gate map table 91t is created in the memory 91 as described above, the controller 100 causes the microcomputer 90 to drive and control the X-axis driving system and the Y-axis driving system with the coordinates of the gate designated at the time of retrieving the goods, The mounted head 40 can be moved to the designated gate and conversely the head 40 with the bucket 50 mounted at the designated gate can be moved to the groove.

The 'sold-out flag' of the gate map is set to '0' at initialization, and when the sold-out of the commodity is detected, the microcomputer 90 substitutes '1' as the sold-out flag of the corresponding code to request the seller to sell the sold commodity The microcomputer 90 can directly process the sold-out merchandise without performing the selling operation.

The above initialization operation is performed when the physical position of the gate is changed and the manager executes initialization in the control key module 95 or when an automatic execution condition is set in the controller 100 and the execution condition occurs.

The bracket 55a on the one side frame 55 of the bucket is mounted on the head 40 for mounting the bucket 50. [ The bucket thus mounted is moved by the head 40 of the two-dimensional conveyor 30 to move between the groove 51 and the gate 13.

The drive system of the ejector 16 included in the bucket will be described with reference to Figs. 12 to 16. Fig.

The transmission gears 56a and 56b connected to the geared motor Pm and the output pinion P1 of the geared motor are mounted on one side frame 55 and the output clutch gear 56 is fixed to the support shaft 56c with the clutch arm 56c 56d and is engaged with the transmission gear 56b so that the clutch arm 56c is connected to the draw-out guide plate 53 as the control wire c supported by the guide flies a, b, The output clutch gear 56 is engaged with the interlocking gear 24 on the take-out machine 16 side when the output clutch gear 56 is tilted to the take-out guiding posture 53g, And is separated from the gear 24.

A take-out guide roll 59 which is provided between the take-out guide plate 53 and the gate 13 via the interlocking gears e and f with the auxiliary interlocking gear d attached to the side of the interlocking gear 56a In the present embodiment).

When the bucket 50 carried by the conveyor 30 is moored to the gate 13 and the take-out guide plate 53 is controlled to the guide posture 53g with the above structure, the output clutch gear 56 is engaged with the interlocking gear 24. In this state, when the interlocking gear 24 is driven through the output clutch gear 56 by the driving force of the geared motor Pm driven in response to the control signal, the push plate 21 pushes the product toward the gate 13 The product which is pushed by the plate and released to the gate 13 foil is transferred to the draw-out guide plate 53 which is rotated and the product is returned to the container 54 while the take-out guide plate 53 is returned to the original state It is delivered safely.

The draw-out guide roll 59 prevents an error caused when the goods discharged from the gate 13 stay between the withdrawal machine 16 and the bucket 50 during the withdrawal process.

A driving system of the draw-out guide plate 53 belonging to the bucket 50 will be described.

An arc container 54a in which the goods guiding door 54 is extended is interposed between the frames 55 and 55a so that both side plates 54b of the container 54a are supported by the support shaft 57 on the frame.

The two side support arms 53a of the goods withdrawing guide plate 53 are supported on the same support shaft 57 and the connection pins 53b on both side ends of the withdrawing guide plate 53 are inserted into the circular interlocking grooves 54c on the side plate 54b And the drive gear 58 connected to one side of the draw-out guide plate 53 is engaged with the electric power gear (not shown) 58a to connect the output pinion P2 of the geared motor Gm to drive the draw-out guide plate 53 and the door 54 to the output of the motor Gm driven in response to the control signal.

The arrangement of the sensors belonging to the bucket 50 will be described.

A sensor Psen is installed on the both side plates 54b approaching the bottom of the container 54a and a product detection is performed on the frames 55 and 55a corresponding to the entrance of the container 54a on the route through which the product passes The sensor Psen2 is installed. The two sensors Psen and Psen2 divide the light emitting element Lm and the light detecting element on both sides of the product receiving space and provide the light receiving signals of the sensors Psen and Psen2 to the microcomputer 90, It is possible to detect the presence or absence of the withdrawn and withdrawn products.

Sensors Gis, Gcs, and Gos for attitude control at the time of driving the draw-out guide plate 53 and the door 54 are installed in one frame and connected to the microcomputer 90. [ These sensors are used as photocoupler sensors in the embodiment when the indicator needle L attached to the drive gear 58 of the commodity guide plate 53 is inserted into the slits of the sensors Gis, Gcs, Gos (see FIG. 13) 90) can detect the posture of the draw-out guide plate 53.

The driving of the bucket 50 is as follows.

When the bucket 50 is moored to the gate 13 and the controller microcomputer 90 detects the gate cover 15 at the sensor Msen, the geared motor Pm is driven to drive the output clutch gear 56, The motor Gm is driven to tilt the goods drawing-out guide plate 53 to the article delivery position 53g. The output of the geared motor Pm rotates the gear 56 via the gears P1, 56a and 56b and the output of the geared motor Gm is guided through the gears P2, And the operation of the goods guiding plate 53 pulls the wire c to connect the output clutch gear 56 on the interlocking gear 56b to the interlocking gear 24 of the take-out machine 16 , Whereby the bucket (50) drives the ejector (16).

The bottom of the guide plate 53 touches the stopper st while tensioning the spring 54d and at the same time the indicator needle L is connected to the position of the sensor Gis, At this time, the microcomputer 90 stops driving the motor Gm.

When the goods guiding guide plate 53 is controlled to the article guiding posture 53g, the connecting pin 53b is moved downward from the circular interlocking groove 54c so that the guiding door 54 is not operated.

When the output clutch gear 56 drives the goods withdrawal machine 16 to release the goods out of the gate 13, the withdrawal guide roll 59 moves the goods into the container 54a. In this process, the microcomputer 90 detects the goods passing over the rolls 59 and stops driving the motor Pm.

When the product is not detected in the sensor Psen2 in the process of withdrawing the product, the microcomputer regards the product of the gate 13 as being sold and performs the sold product processing.

The sold product processing sets the flag '1' in the corresponding gate map table of the designated code, outputs a necessary message, and controls the charge storage module 93 to return the received charge.

The microcomputer 90 confirms the goods withdrawn from the sensor Psen in the container 54a and controls the motor Gm while transferring the bucket 50 to the groove 51, The reverse process is returned to the pre-operation position. When the goods taking-out guide plate 53 is returned, the output clutch gear 56 linked to the wire c is also returned to the original position. When the microcomputer 90 detects the indicator needle L from the sensor Gcs in the returning process, the microcomputer 90 regards the indication needle L as completed and stops the driving of the motor Gm.

If the microcomputer 90 does not detect the product in the container 54a after the product is taken out through the above process, the microcomputer moves the bucket to the groove and performs error processing.

The error processing displays an error occurrence state in the vending machine, controls the charge storage module 93 to return the received money, and waits for the error state to be removed.

If it is confirmed that the withdrawn product is in the container 54a, the microcomputer 90 performs the product delivery process.
