The present invention relates to a capsular product vending machine, and more specifically, to an unattended vending machine for automatically releasing capsules one by one in which snacks or food may be stored for a long period. The vending machine according to the present invention comprises a capsule storing cabinet (100). A constant-rate capsule discharging container (110) of the capsule storing cabinet (100) has capsule storing cylinders that store the capsules. A capsule dispensing hole (115) as a through hole is formed in the lower front side of the capsule storing cylinder while a capsule discharging space (112) is formed in the front of the capsule dispensing hole (115) so that the capsules (A) are discharged. The capsule storing cylinder has a capsule discharge driving unit (300) at the lowest portion as a means of discharging the capsules (A). A rotating shaft (322) of an electric motor (310) of the capsule discharge driving unit (300) engages with a motor rotating shaft slot (342) of a push rod back-and-forth moving unit (340) and rotates. Both the push rod back-and-forth moving unit (340) and the motor rotating shaft slot (342) form a rotating crossbeam (346) toward a side and a back-and-forth guiding plug rod (348) beneath the rotating crossbeam (346). The back-and-forth guiding plug rod (348) is inserted into a horizontal guiding hole (352) formed in a capsule discharging push rod (350). When rotating, the back-and-forth guiding plug rod (348) moves the capsule discharging push rod (350) back and forth, thereby pushing out the capsules (A). |
