FIELD: vending machines,
SUBSTANCE: implementation of the supporting plate with such technologically determined bends, which, being built into the technological process of manufacturing the front panel of the water vending machine in order to simplify the process, at the same time are stiffening ribs of the supporting plate, increasing rigidity and strength of the plate in a manner ensuring that this function of the stiffening ribs is also performed by the filling chamber of the front panel of the water vending machine. The supporting plate is metal sheet 1 with window 2 and contains welded threaded studs 3 installed on this sheet along the perimeter of window 2 from the inside of the shield relative to the water vending machine. The supporting plate also contains insert 4, which is a metal insert sheet made with vertically oriented bends 5 in the middle part of insert 4, which form recess 6 of the filling chamber oriented inside the front panel, as well as two rectangular wings of insert 4, namely, conditionally left wing 7 and conditionally right wing 8, located symmetrically with respect to recess 6. Wings 7 and 8 are made with transverse limbs 9 oriented outward of the front panel to form stiffening ribs of the supporting plate. In addition, cut-out 10 is made in metal sheet 1 of the supporting plate, so that insert 4 is welded into this cut-out 10 with the edges of its indicated transverse bends 9.
EFFECT: reduced metal sheet thickness in the support plate to obtain a simpler and less expensive design while meeting the rigidity and strength requirements.
