Problems solved by technology

[0007] Therefore, there are the following problems: (a) It is difficult to perform uniform heat exchange over the entire area of ​​the heat exchange area of ​​the heat exchange mechanism, so the heat exchange efficiency is reduced
(b) The air that has not passed through the heat exchange mechanism is sucked by the air supply mechanism to circulate useless air, so the burden on the air supply mechanism increases, and the air that has been heat exchanged is diluted, thereby increasing the adjustment time of the product temperature

Abstract

An automatic vending machine in which a fan means is compactly mounted upstream of a heat exchanging means without increasing pressure loss and air flows uniformly in the machine. An automatic vending machine (1) has an in-chamber fan (60) mounted close to a rear face duct (30), and a heat exchanger (71) and an in-chamber heater (72) are mounted downstream of the in-chamber fan (60). Flow regulating plates (52) protruding toward the in-chamber fan (60) are formed on a duct plate (50), and outlet openings (53) are formed between adjacent pairs of the flow regulating plates (52). An air-flow-volume distribution adjusting plate (40) is mounted to the lower part of the rear face duct (30) so as to interconnect a rear face wall (14) and that side edge of the lowermost adjusting plate (52a) which is on the rear face side of the adjusting plate. The volume of air flow descending in the rear face duct (30) is divided so as not to collect at the lower part in the duct. This corrects uneven vertical flow of air, so that the volume of air flow can be equally distributed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an automatic vending machine which cools or heats commodities such as beverages contained in containers such as cans, bottles, plastic bottles, and polyester bottles (PET bottles) for vending. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, an automatic vending machine has: a product storage cabinet including a cabinet whose interior is thermally insulated; and a cooling unit for bringing the air inside the product storage cabinet to a predetermined temperature (low temperature or high temperature). [0003] A product outlet for taking out products is provided at the lower portion of the front wall of the product storage cabinet, and a shooter inclined toward the product outlet is arranged. In addition, commodity racks for accumulating commodities are arranged above the slideway, and an air blowing mechanism and a heat exchange mechanism are arranged below the slideway. [0004] Furthermore, the tunnel plate is arrange|p...
