Animal feed vending machine

Abstract

We provide an animal feed vending machine that simplifies the burden of replenishing animal feed and collecting payments. [Solution] This is an animal feed vending machine having a feed leak prevention plate 2, a measuring cup 1 and handle 5, a coin mechanism 7 and a discharge port 6 at the bottom of a storage compartment 4 that stores granular feed, and an externally attached coin storage compartment 3 at the bottom of the main body, characterized in that it can replenish and sell animal feed in granular form. The coin mechanism, when a coin is inserted and the handle is turned, causes the measuring cup to rotate to measure a fixed amount of granular animal feed with a diameter of 10 mm or less from the storage compartment and sell it, and the inserted coin is dropped and stored in the coin storage compartment at the bottom of the vending machine body.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a vending machine suitable for storing a large amount of granular feed and coins and selling a certain amount of measured granular feed.

Background Art

[0002] When selling granular feed by a vending machine, the granular feed was packed in capsules and then replenished to the storage of a capsule toy vending machine for sale. Conventional capsule toy vending machines include a storage for accommodating capsules, a gear mechanism, and a screw shaft. The capsules in the storage are individually discharged by the rotation of the gear mechanism and the screw shaft. However, the conventional device targets capsules of about 48 - 75 mm, and when storing animal granular feed of 10 mm or less in the storage, it will leak through the gaps of the mechanism. In addition, since the assumed amount of capsules accommodated in the storage is 100 or less, the coin storage can only accommodate about 200 coins. In order to solve such problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a vending machine that can reduce the work burden when selling granular feed.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] When selling granular feed by a capsule toy vending machine, the laborious and time-consuming burden of manually packing the granular feed into capsules is large. Since the capsules compress the storage space of the storage, the storage quantity decreases and the replenishment frequency increases. Also, the coin storage built into the capsule toy vending machine has space constraints and cannot store a large amount of coins. Therefore, it is intended to reduce the work burden of manually packing, replenishing, and coin collection of granular feed by replenishing a large amount of granular feed into the storage as it is and selling it by weighing, and externally attaching a coin storage outside the vending machine body.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0004] The vending machine according to this invention solves the problem by attaching a plate to prevent leakage of granular feed and a measuring cup to the joint between the storage compartment and the discharge port, and by attaching a coin storage compartment externally to the bottom of the vending machine body. [Effects of the Invention]

[0005] As described above, the animal feed vending machine of this invention eliminates the need for manual filling of capsules by replenishing animal feed in granular form, reduces the burden of replenishment work because it can store a large amount of animal feed, and reduces the burden of cash collection work because it can store a large amount of coins. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0006] [Figure 1] This is a front view of the animal feed vending machine according to the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0007] 4 A measuring cup 1 is attached to the joint between the storage compartment and the discharge port 6, and 2 a granular bait leak prevention plate seals the gap that would allow granular bait to spill out into the discharge port 6. 7 When a coin is inserted into the coin mechanism and the handle 5 is turned, the measuring cup 1 rotates, and the granular bait measured in the cup falls from the storage compartment 4 to the discharge port 6. The inserted coin falls into the externally attached coin storage compartment 3 at the bottom of the vending machine and is stored there. [Examples]

[0008] The following explanation will be given with reference to the attached drawings. As shown in Figure 1, the animal feed vending machine of this embodiment includes a measuring cup, which, by being in close contact with the granular feed leakage prevention plate, prevents the granular feed from leaking out. The coin storage compartment (3) is where the coins inserted into the animal feed vending machine fall and are stored. [Explanation of Symbols]
