DC POWER SOURCE SERVICE LIFE DECIDING DEVICE FOR AUTOMATIC VENDING MACHINE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a DC power source service life deciding device for automatic vending machine which can judge the state of a DC power source while using the comparatively inexpensive DC power source and which can previously coping with abnormality due to termination of service life of the DC power source. ;SOLUTION: An automatic vending machine equipped with a DC power source 10 is provided with an external temperature detecting means 1 for detecting the external temperature of the automatic vending machine and an arithmetic part 6 for providing the peripheral temperature of the DC power source based on the external temperature based on the data in a storage part 3, calculating and outputting information corresponding to the service life of the DC power source 10 on the basis of the peripheral temperature of the power source. Thus, it can be roughly decided whether the service life of the DC power source 10 of the automatic vending machine is close to an end or not.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2001,JPO
