<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a heat transport or heat shield performance, in a heat transport heating device of an automatic vending machine whose power consumption is reduced by utilizing waste heat from a compressor of a cooling unit device generated when cooling a merchandise storage container of the automatic vending machine for heating the merchandise storage container. <P>SOLUTION: The automatic vending machine has the heat transport heating device comprising: a heat receiving part 18 provided on a surface of a compressor to receive the waste heat thereof; a heat radiation part 20 disposed in a merchandise storage container used as a heating chamber; and a heat switching part 19 provided between the heat receiving part and the heat radiation part to transmit the heat received in the heat receiving part to the heat radiation part or shield it. By providing a switching lever 19c for bringing a heat receiving plate 19a and a heat radiation plate 19b of the heat switching part into contact with each other or separating them, and energizing means between the heat receiving plate and the heat radiation plate, a heat transfer property by adhesion improvement when they are in contact and heat shieldability when they are separated are improved. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
