AUTOMATIC VENDING MACHINE

摘要

An automatic vending machine in which a fan means is compactly mounted upstream of a heat exchanging means without increasing pressure loss and air flows uniformly in the machine. An automatic vending machine (1) has an in-chamber fan (60) mounted close to a rear face duct (30), and a heat exchanger (71) and an in-chamber heater (72) are mounted downstream of the in-chamber fan (60). Flow regulating plates (52) protruding toward the in-chamber fan (60) are formed on a duct plate (50), and outlet openings (53) are formed between adjacent pairs of the flow regulating plates (52). An air-flow-volume distribution adjusting plate (40) is mounted to the lower part of the rear face duct (30) so as to interconnect a rear face wall (14) and that side edge of the lowermost adjusting plate (52a) which is on the rear face side of the adjusting plate. The volume of air flow descending in the rear face duct (30) is divided so as not to collect at the lower part in the duct. This corrects uneven vertical flow of air, so that the volume of air flow can be equally distributed.
