Embodiment Construction

[0021] figure 1 It is an external view of the automatic vending machine 1 . figure 2 It is a partial perspective perspective view of the automatic vending machine 1 .

[0022] The automatic vending machine 1 includes a rectangular parallelepiped housing 50 , a front panel 10 , a change discharge unit 30 , a product discharge unit 40 , a banknote insertion opening 15 , and a coin insertion opening 17 .

[0023] The surface panel 10 is provided in an opening on the upper side (Z direction side) of the front surface of the casing 50 . A space for arranging a plurality of product samples 55 and a plurality of product selection panels 20 is provided in the opening of the casing 50 where the front panel 10 is arranged.

[0024] The surface panel 10 has a rectangular shape viewed from the front, and is fixed to the housing 50 at least at four corners. The surface panel 10 bends in the normal direction when the user presses the surface. In addition, since the surface panel 10 has...

Abstract

This interface for a vending machine is provided with a surface panel, a product selection panel, and a piezoelectric element. The surface panel flexes in the normal direction when pressed by a user.The product selection panel is arranged opposite of the surface panel. A detection element is bonded to the product selection panel and detects flexing of the surface panel.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an interface for automatic vending machines and a pressure sensor used for the interface for automatic vending machines. Background technique [0002] The automatic vending machine has a selection button for each product sample so that a user can select a plurality of displayed products. For example, Patent Document 1 describes the arrangement of selection buttons. [0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-162332 [0004] In the configuration of Patent Document 1, a plurality of through holes are provided in the surface panel. Selection buttons are arranged in each of the plurality of through holes. However, in recent years, an automatic vending machine having a surface panel without a through hole has been expected. Contents of the invention [0005] Therefore, the present invention provides an interface for an automatic vending machine capable of detecting a user's product selection...
