Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, in the existing automatic vending machine, when a part of the main body of the automatic vending machine is covered with snow and freezes, that is, when there is no snow or ice attached to the light incident port but snow or ice is attached to the product selection switch, the sensor uses There is no difference in illuminance before and after heating by the heater, so the heater for the switch is not heated, and the snow adhering to the product selection switch cannot be melted
[0004] In addition, regardless of whether snow is attached to the product selection switch, the heater for the sensor is periodically heated, and the illuminance transmitted through the light entrance is measured and stored, so there is a problem that the power consumption required for snow melting and thawing increases.

Abstract

The invention provides a vending machine capable of efficiently performing snow melting and defrosting of a prescribed portion of an outer door or a vending machine body, and allowing suppression of power consumption. The vending machine has: the vending machine body 10 having an opened front face; the outer door 20 for opening / closing the front face of the vending machine; and a defrosting heater 14 for heating the front face opening edge of the vending machine body. The vending machine also has: a temperature detector 41 for detecting an outside air temperature; and a second control part 40 for starting the defrosting heater 14 when the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 41 becomes not more than a prescribed temperature.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an automatic vending machine, for example, using a heater to defrost the frozen opening edge of the front surface of the main body of the automatic vending machine. Background technique [0002] In the prior art, as such an automatic vending machine, the following automatic vending machine is known, that is: after the control unit in the defrosting mode measures and stores the illuminance of the installation place through the light entrance through the daylight sensor, Turn on the heater for the sensor at a predetermined time to heat the light entrance, measure and store the illuminance transmitted through the light entrance again, and when the difference in illuminance before and after heating is above the specified value, drive the heater for the switch to make the adhesion Snow melting on commodity selection switches (for example, refer to Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. Hei 6-295373). [0003] However, in...
