VENDING MACHINE Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC G07F11/16 

FIELD: vending machines.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to vending machines for the issuance of piece goods, in particular for the issuance of products in glass jars. The technical objective of the claimed device is to expand functionality while reducing the compactness of the drive (its own motor, gearbox, bushings and conveyor belt tension system, pushing device for the entire shelf), namely, without changing the external dimensions of the vending machine, the capacity of both one shelf and the number of shelves inside the machine increase. The vending machine includes a body, at least one rack with shelves, a moving and positioning system, at least one device for moving goods, a device for issuing goods, a control system, a terminal for ordering and paying for goods, each shelf consists of a frame transversely divided into rows by partitions and one longitudinal row, in addition, it has two systems for moving jars into the elevator window, the first one transversely moves another row of cans to the longitudinal row in the form of a conveyor, the second one longitudinally moves the jar into the elevator along the conveyor, from which it comes to the goods delivery window, while the first displacement system is activated by the signal of the final sensor, which is triggered after the longitudinal row is completely released, and consists of a profile pusher connected through brackets with brass nuts, which move along two trapezoidal screws rotating on housing bearings, placed along the edges of the shelves in parallel to transverse partitions, driven pulleys of which are connected by a gear-belt drive with a drive pulley receiving torque from an electric motor located in the center of the longitudinal side of the shelf.

EFFECT: claimed device expands its functionality while reducing the size of the drive.
