Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to a component used to convert an existing vending machine from a can column for storing can containers to a PET column for storing PET bottles, which are taller than the can containers. [Background technology]
[0002] Containerized beverages come in canned and PET bottled varieties, and as described in Patent Document 1, many existing vending machines are capable of selling both cans and PET bottles in one machine. However, consumer purchasing trends are subject to trends, and when demand for PET bottles increases, there is a desire to stock more PET bottles in order to increase sales. However, in order to accommodate as many containerized beverages as possible, the width of the column is set to match the width of the container when it is lying on its side, and since the width of a can column is shorter than that of a PET column, a can column cannot be used as a PET column as is. On the other hand, disposing of the existing vending machine and purchasing a new one with an additional pet column would be a significant financial burden on the installation side.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-5299 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] Therefore, there is an idea that even if the total number of containerized beverages stored in conventional vending machines is reduced, it may be possible to accommodate this by converting the multiple rows of cans into a single row of PET columns and transplanting a PET rack for PET bottles into that column. Some vending machines are capable of selling both hot and cold drinks, and many have an insulating partition between adjacent columns in the middle of the machine. In such cases, the two columns of canned goods separated by a standard partition at each end of the machine are converted into a single column of PET bottles. Meanwhile, containerized beverages stored in racks within the column are dispensed from those stored at the bottom through a dispensing door located at the bottom of the inner door and fall onto a receiving surface located on the inner side of the outer door. The width of the receiving surface is set to be no longer than necessary to fit the column, so that the inner side of the outer door can be used as an attachment site for various parts other than those that make up the receiving surface. The receiving surface usually extends from one end of the inner side of the outer door to the other end, but ends halfway. The point where the end ends is separated from the other side by a partition wall. Therefore, simply converting the two rows of can columns at the widthwise ends into a single row of PET columns would result in the PET bottles dispensed from that PET column hitting the partition wall at the end of the receiving surface and preventing them from falling onto the receiving surface.
[0005] The present invention was made with a focus on the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its purpose is to provide a new and useful receiving surface extension part that can extend the receiving surface in the width direction when a can column is converted into a PET column, thereby preventing any problems in dispensing PET bottles. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is a receiving surface extension part for vending machine modification that is used when modifying the column of a vending machine and is added by attaching it to the inside surface of the outer door of the vending machine, and is characterized in that it comprises an extended receiving surface, an outer door side fixing part that fixes the extended receiving surface to the inside surface of the outer door of the vending machine, a bearing part that supports the pivot shaft of an existing anti-theft plate, and a receiving surface side fixing part that fixes the extended receiving surface to the existing receiving surface, and when the outer door side fixing part and the receiving surface side fixing part are fixed, the extended receiving surface is positioned on a widthwise extension of the existing receiving surface.
[0007] Preferably, the bearing position of the bearing portion and the fixing position of the fixing portion are adjustable in the width direction. More preferably, the bearing position of the bearing portion and the fixing position of the fixing portion can be adjusted independently of each other in the width direction. Preferably, the extended receiving surface portion is attached in a continuous extension state from the existing receiving surface portion by overlapping the lower surface side of the existing receiving surface portion from below. Preferably, a protective sheet is covered from the upper surface of the extended receiving surface portion to the upper surface of the existing receiving surface portion, straddling the edge of the existing receiving surface portion on the extended side in the width direction. Preferably, the outer door side fixing part overlaps with an existing rising bracket with screw holes that rises in an L shape from the inner surface of the outer door, and is composed of an attachment piece with a long hole that is long in the width direction and communicates with the screw holes, and is fixed with screws. Preferably, the receiving surface side fixing portion overlaps a folded piece with a screw hole that is folded outward from the upper edge of the existing receiving surface portion, and is composed of an attachment piece with a screw hole that communicates with the screw hole, and is fixed by screwing. [Effects of the Invention]
[0008] By retrofitting an existing vending machine with the parts of this invention, the number of PET bottles that can be stored can be increased. Furthermore, because the parts used for the modification are simple in structure and can be easily modified, the cost is significantly lower than purchasing a new vending machine. Although it is stated that PET bottles are used as containerized beverages for which the storage capacity needs to be increased, this invention involves modifications that make the width larger than that of existing columns, and is applicable not only to PET bottles but also to any containerized beverages that need to be newly stored or whose number needs to be increased and whose width larger than that of existing columns.

[Figure 11] FIG. 3 is a rear view of the main part of the outer door of the vending machine before modification, corresponding to FIG. 2. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0010] In the existing vending machine 101 shown in Figure 10, two wide columns of pet food columns 103, 103 and four narrow columns of can food columns 105, 105, ... are lined up from the right end in the width direction to the left. Correspondingly, product outlets that open by rotating flapper-shaped dispensing doors 109, 111 are provided at the bottom of the lower inner door 107. The size and position of the product outlets correspond to each column, and the product outlet that opens and closes with the wide dispensing door 109 is for the two rows of pet food columns 103, 103, and the product outlet that opens and closes with the narrow dispensing door 111 is for the two rows of adjacent can food columns 105, 105. Because the can food columns 105 are configured in four rows, there are two product outlets that open and close with the narrow dispensing door 111. In columns 103, 105, product racks are hung from pivotally supported hooks, and as shown in the circle, one hook 113 is shared for hanging product racks in two rows of can columns 105, 105, so a protrusion 113a is provided as a partition in the middle of the length of hook 113. Note that hook 113 is shown in a front view, and the portion through which the support shaft passes is hidden and not visible. Adjacent columns are separated by ordinary partitions that are not insulated.
[0011] Cans and PET bottles stored in the product racks in columns 103 and 105 are dispensed through dispensing doors 109, 111, 111, starting with those stored below. Opposite dispensing doors 109, 111, 111, as shown in FIG. 11 , a single large receiving surface 117 extending in the width direction is provided on the inner surface of outer door 115. Receiving surface 117 is a strip-shaped plate with its plate surface facing up and down, and its receiving surface 117a receives dispensed and falling cans and PET bottles. An access opening is provided in outer door 115 in line with receiving surface 117, and cans and PET bottles dispensed onto receiving surface 117a of receiving surface 117 can be removed by inserting a hand through the opening. A flap-type anti-theft plate 119 is provided at this access opening.
[0012] Furthermore, a partition wall 121 is removably attached to the inner surface of outer door 115. In Figure 11, receiving surface 117 extends to the right to the area necessary to receive cans dispensed from dispensing door 109, the leftmost door in Figure 10, and its right edge is separated by the plate surface of partition wall 121. In addition, the right end of pivot shaft 119a of anti-theft plate 119 is rotatably supported by a bearing provided in partition wall 121.
[0013] 10 and 11, the usual partition between the two can columns 105, 105 on the far left side of FIG. 10 and the adjacent column has been removed, and the machine has been modified to have a single row of pet food columns 103, as shown in FIG. 1, and a hook 1 is journaled within the pet food columns 103. The product rack hung from this hook 1 is a single-row pet food rack, and unlike hook 113, hook 1 does not have a protrusion in the middle in the longitudinal direction. As a result of the above-mentioned conversion to a single row of pet columns 103, the product exit on the far left side was also widened, and a wide dispensing door 109 was installed to match the new size.
[0014] An existing receiving surface 117 is provided on the inside of outer door 115, but as shown in Figure 11, it is interrupted on the right side in the width direction and separated by partition wall 121, so a route is created for PET bottles to be dispensed from within the newly created row of PET columns 103 through dispensing door 109, but since the dispensed PET bottles are taller than cans and are dispensed in a long, horizontal position, they will hit partition wall 121 and will not rest on receiving surface 117a of receiving surface 117. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the partition wall 121 is removed and the receiving surface extension part 3, which is a feature of the present invention, is attached to the inner surface of the outer door 115 and added.
[0015] As shown in Figures 3 to 7, the receiving surface extension part 3 is made up of a combination of multiple thin, flat metal plates. Each plate is contoured to fit the desired location, bent as needed, and joined together three-dimensionally by welding, screws, or bolts and nuts. The following describes the receiving surface extension part 3, but its up / down, front / back, left / right directions are based on the state in which it is attached to the outer door 115 in Figure 2, and in the front / back direction, the inner surface of the outer door 115 is in the front and the outer surface is in the rear. The vertically long rectangular plate material 5 is bent in two stages parallel to the upper edge at the upper edge side portion 5b above the middle portion 5a into an L shape when viewed from the left and right, and protrudes forward and upward, and a long hole 7a that is long in the left and right direction is formed in the plate material portion that protrudes upward, forming an attachment piece 7 that constitutes the outer door side fixing part.
[0016] The lower portion 5c of the plate 5 below the middle portion 5a is bent in two stages parallel to the upper edge, protruding significantly forward. The middle portion 5a is horizontal, while the front side is slightly inclined upward. This horizontal portion and the front portion form the main receiving surface 9, the upper surface of which is the main receiving surface 9a. The lower edge portion below the lower portion 5c is bent parallel to the upper edge, and its plate surface rises upward parallel to the plate surface of the middle portion 5a, forming a rising portion 5d. A horizontally elongated rectangular plate is connected to the left side of this rising portion 5d, and both rise together. The rising side of this connecting portion 5e is wider than the rising portion 5d, and this wider portion is folded diagonally forward. Three screw holes 11a, 11a, 11a are formed in this portion at intervals in the left-right direction, forming the mounting piece 11 that constitutes the receiving surface-side fixing portion.
[0017] Another plate 13 is welded to the bottom of the lower portion 5c near the apex created by the bend. This plate 13 is rectangular and folded in half parallel to one side. One of the faces separated by the bend is joined to the inclined underside of the lower portion 5c, while the other hangs down with its plate surface facing forward and backward. The left and right edges of the plate 5 and plate 13 are aligned. A long hole 15a extending left and right is formed in this hanging portion, forming the mounting piece 15 that forms the outer door side fixing part.
[0018] The right side of the main receiving surface portion 9 is closed by another plate member 17 . This plate material 17 constitutes a large rectangular closed surface portion 19 and three joint pieces 21, 21, 21 connected to the edge of this closed surface portion 19, and the joint pieces 21, 21, 21 are bent at right angles in the same direction. The area where the lower portion 5c forming the main receiving surface 9 and the lower portion of the intermediate portion 5a join has an L-shaped edge when viewed from the right side, and the plate surface on the edge of the closing surface 19 abuts against the L-shaped edge, closing the L-shaped surface from the right side. Joining pieces 21, 21, 21 wrap around the plate material 5 at one point from the back side and at two points from the underside and are joined by welding.
[0019] The lower surface of the lower portion 5c that forms the main receiving surface 9 is divided into a horizontal portion and an inclined portion, and the plate surfaces of another pair of plate materials 23, 23 are welded to the lower surface. The plate materials 23 are rectangular, and one longitudinal side extends to the left of the lower portion 5c by the same amount. There is a gap between the pair of plate materials 23, 23 in the front-to-rear direction. The pair of plate members 23, 23 constitute an adjustment receiving surface portion 25, the upper surface of which serves as an adjustment receiving surface 25a. The main receiving surface 9 and the adjustment receiving surface 25 constitute an extended receiving surface.
[0020] A bearing portion 29, which is formed from another plate 27, is attached to the plate 5 so that its position in the left-right direction can be adjusted. The plate 27 is configured with the bearing portion 29, which has a bearing hole 29a formed therein, and two connecting pieces 31, 33 connected to the edge of the bearing portion 29, which are bent at right angles in the same direction. The connecting piece 31 is connected to the top edge, and the connecting piece 33 is connected to the left edge, so that the plate surface of the connecting piece 31 faces the up-down direction, and the plate surface of the connecting piece 33 faces the front-to-back direction. The connecting piece 31 has three bolt insertion holes 31a, 31a, 31a formed with spaced intervals in the left-right direction, and the connecting piece 33 also has bolt insertion holes 33a, 33a, 33a, ... formed with spaced intervals in the left-right and up-down directions. The bolt insertion holes 31a and 33a are the same size and have the same relative positions in the left-right direction.
[0021] The bearing portion 29 is located on the left side of the plate material 5, and the plate surface of the joining piece 31 is overlapped from above on the horizontal part of the upper edge side portion 5b, and the joining piece 33 is overlapped on the back side of the middle portion 5a. While maintaining this overlapping state, the plate material 27 is able to slide left and right. One bolt insertion hole 5f is formed in the horizontal part of the upper edge side part 5b, and two bolt insertion holes 5g, 5g are formed in a row above and below in the middle part 5a. When the plate material 27 is adjusted by shifting it left and right while it is stacked as described above, one of the bolt insertion holes 31a lined up left and right communicates with the bolt insertion hole 5f, and the bolt insertion holes 33a, 33a lined up above and below automatically communicate with the bolt insertion holes 5g, 5g. Therefore, by inserting a bolt (not shown) into the communicating hole and tightening it with a nut (not shown), the bearing portion 29 is fixed to the plate material 5. As three bolt insertion holes 31a, 33a are formed side by side in the left-right direction, three locations can be selected for this fixing position.
[0022] The adjustment receiving surface 25a is connected to the left side of the main receiving surface 9a in the width direction and is covered from above with a protective sheet 35 made of flexible, impact-resistant synthetic resin. Screw holes 5h, 5h are formed at left-right intervals at the rear of the lower portion 5c that forms the main receiving surface 9a, and screw holes 5i, 5i are also formed at left-right intervals at the rising portion 5d. In addition, separate plates are provided as overlapping pieces 37, 39. Each of the overlapping pieces 37, 39 is small and rectangular. Screw holes 37a, 37a are formed in the overlapping piece 37, and screw holes 39a, 39a are formed in the overlapping piece 39. When the overlapping piece 37 is placed over the corner of the main receiving surface 9a, the screw holes 37a, 37a communicate with the screw holes 5h, 5h. When the overlapping piece 39 is overlapped with the rising portion 5d, the screw holes 39a, 39a communicate with the screw holes 5i, 5i.
[0023] The protective sheet 35 is cut into a rectangular shape, and screw holes 35a are formed in the folded portions at the rear edge and the front edge, and the folded portions are sandwiched between the lower portion 5c and the overlapping piece 37 and fastened with screws 41. Because it is fastened in this manner, the screws 41 are not exposed on the main receiving surface 9a or the adjustment receiving surface 25a. The front edge is also folded back, and is overlapped by wrapping around from above onto the front surface of the rising portion 5d. Furthermore, with the overlapping piece 39 overlapping from the front, the folded back portion is sandwiched between the rising portion 5d and the overlapping piece 39 and fastened with the screws 41. In this manner, the protective sheet 35 is attached to cover the main receiving surface 9a and the adjustment receiving surface 25a from above.
[0024] The receiving surface extension part 3 is configured as described above, and is attached to the inner surface of the outer door 115 with the top, bottom, front, back, left and right directions aligned as shown in FIGS. First, the leftward projection position of the bearing portion 29 from the plate material 5 that forms the main body of the receiving surface extension part 3 is fixed by selecting one of the bolt insertion holes 31a, 33a aligned in the left-right direction on the joining pieces 31, 33, connecting it to the bolt insertion holes 5f, 5g, and tightening the bolts and nuts. In this state, the protective sheet 35 is attached to the inner surface of the outer door 115 from which the partition wall 121 has been removed. The adjustment receiving surface portion 25 is inserted partially from the right side under the receiving surface portion 117. The front side of the receiving surface portion 117 is gently inclined upward, and the adjustment receiving surface portion 25 and the main receiving surface portion 9 are aligned to this, with the adjustment receiving surface portion 25 overlapping the underside of the receiving surface portion 117 and the receiving surface 9a of the main receiving surface portion 9 being on approximately the same plane as the receiving surface 117a of the receiving surface portion 117.
[0025] The front edge of the receiving surface portion 117 is folded back to form a folded piece 117b, and a screw hole 117c for attaching the partition wall 121 is formed on the right side of the folded piece 117b. When the left front side of the adjustment receiving surface 25 overlaps the underside of the receiving surface 117, the triangular convex surface formed by the connecting portion 5e and the mounting piece 11 fits into the triangular gap, viewed from the right, created by the folding back of the folding piece 117b, and the mounting piece 11 overlaps the folding back piece 117b. At the same time, the right end of the pivot 119a of the anti-theft plate 119 is inserted into the bearing hole 29a. The position of the bearing 29 is adjusted in advance as described above, so that when the main receiving surface 9 is attached to the inner surface of the outer door 115 in the specified position, the pivot 119a is securely inserted into the bearing hole 29a and supported by the bearing.
[0026] Additionally, since one of the screw holes 11a communicates with the screw hole 117c, it is fastened with a screw 41. As a result, the main receiving surface portion 9 is fixed to the receiving surface portion 117 with the rotation shaft 119a supported. The length of the bearing portion 29 that extends leftward from the middle portion 5a can be adjusted in three stages, and the screw hole 11a that communicates with the screw hole 117c can be selected from three aligned in the left-right direction, so even if the position of the right end of the pivot shaft 119a or the existing receiving surface portion 117 is shifted from that of the vending machine 101 in Figure 11, the middle portion 5a can be brought to a predetermined position on the right side. In other words, the right end of the main receiving surface portion 9 can be brought to a predetermined position.
[0027] On the inner surface of the outer door 115, two existing rising brackets 123 and 125 are provided, one above the other, which are L-shaped when viewed from the left and right, and screw holes 123a and 125a are formed in the front portions of each. The L-shaped upper edge portion 5b including the mounting piece 7 is overlapped from the front onto the rising bracket 123, and the L-shaped portion formed by the mounting piece 15 and the horizontal portion of the lower portion 5c is overlapped from the front onto the rising bracket 125. Then, the elongated hole 7a is connected to the screw hole 123a, and the elongated hole 15a is connected to the screw hole 125a, and these are fastened with screws 41. The screws 41 can move left and right within the elongated holes 7a and 15a, ensuring communication with the screw holes 123a and 125a of the existing rising brackets 123 and 125. When fastened with the screws 41, the upper and lower sides of the main receiving surface portion 9 are fixed to the inner surface of the outer door 115.
[0028] 8, the receiving surface 117a of the receiving surface portion 117 and the receiving surface 9a of the main receiving surface portion 9 are on approximately the same plane, and the receiving surface 25a of the adjusting receiving surface portion 25 is disposed in the left-right gap between the receiving surface portion 117 and the main receiving surface portion 9. In other words, the extended receiving surface portion consisting of the main receiving surface portion 9 and the adjusting receiving surface portion 25 is located on an extension of the existing receiving surface portion 117 in the width direction. In this fixed state, protective sheet 35 is later attached so as to cover main receiving surface 9a and adjustment receiving surface 25a from above, as described above. Protective sheet 35 covers receiving surface 117a where adjustment receiving surface 25a and receiving surface 117a overlap vertically. The steps at the boundaries between receiving surfaces 117a and main receiving surface 9a on both sides of receiving surface 25a of adjustment receiving surface portion 25 are covered from above by flexible protective sheet 35, which turns them into gentle slopes as shown in Figure 9, preventing deformation caused by impact with PET bottle P.
[0029] The receiving surface extension part 3 makes good use of the inner shape of the existing outer door 115 and is configured to have a simple structure as described above and to be easily retrofitted with easy installation work, and the PET bottles P dispensed from the modified PET column 103 → dispensing door 109 fall across the receiving surface 117a ~ adjustment receiving surface 25a ~ main receiving surface 9a and are received on the protective sheet 35. Furthermore, the receiving surface extension part 3 is able to accommodate slight differences in specifications between existing types of vending machines by adjusting the number of bolt insertion holes 5f, 5g, the number of screw holes 11a, and even the formation of elongated holes 7a, 15a, so that the bearing position of the bearing part 29 and the fixed position relative to the outer door 115 can be adjusted in the width direction independently of each other, making installation easier and making it a highly versatile part that can be retrofitted to vending machines other than those shown in Figures 1 and 2.
[0030] The above describes in detail the embodiment of the present invention, but the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and design changes that do not deviate from the gist of the present invention are also included in the invention. For example, as mentioned above, this invention involves a modification that makes the width dimension larger than that of an existing column, and is applicable not only to PET bottles but also to any containerized beverage that needs to be newly stored or the number of containerized beverages that need to be stored in larger width dimensions than that of an existing column.
