A product carry-out device of the automatic dispenser for a product accommodating passage, comprising:
- first and second sets of stopper members arranged side by side in a longitudinal direction of the product carry-out device adapted to separately hold a first size product accommodated in the product accommodating passage or to cooperatively hold a second size product accommodated in the product accommodating passage and having a length longer than that of the first size product in the longitudinal direction, each of the first and second sets of stopper members including a first stopper member and a second stopper member;
- a first link member linking the first stopper member and the second stopper member of the first set of stopper members, and a second link member linking the first stopper member and the second stopper member of the second set of stopper members;
- a connection mechanism connecting to the first and second link members to link the first and second sets of stopper members, or connecting to the first link member to link the first set of stopper members, or connecting to the second link member to link the second set of stopper members;
- a switching device attached to the connection mechanism, and selectively connecting the first and second link members to the connection mechanism, or connecting the first link member to the connection mechanism, or connecting the second link member to the connection mechanism;
- and
- a single driving device connecting to the connection mechanism, and driving the first and second sets of stopper members when the switching device connects the first and second link members and the connection mechanism, or driving the first set of stopper members when the switching device connects the first link member and the connection mechanism, or driving the second set of stopper members when the switching device connects the second link member and the connection mechanism,
- wherein when the switching device connects the first and second link members and the connection mechanism, the first stopper members of the first and second sets of stopper members are synchronously driven to project into the product accommodating passage adapted to hold the second size product and to retract from the product accommodating passage adapted to carry the second size product out of the product accommodating passage, and the second stopper members of the first and second sets of stopper members are synchronously driven to project into the product accommodating passage adapted to hold another second size product in the product accommodating passage and to retract from the product accommodating passage adapted to carry the another second size product to the first stopper members of the first and second sets of stopper members,
- when the switching device connects the first link member and the connection mechanism, only the first stopper member of the first set of stopper members is driven to project into the product accommodating passage adapted to hold the first size product and to retract from the product accommodating passage adapted to carry the first size product out of the product accommodating passage, and only the second stopper member of the first set of stopper members is driven to project into the product accommodating passage adapted to hold another first size product and to retract from the product accommodating passage adapted to carry the another first size product to the first stopper member of the first set of stopper members, and
- when the switching device connects the second link member and the connection mechanism, only the first stopper member of the second set of stopper members is driven to project into the product accommodating passage adapted to hold the first size product and to retract from the product accommodating passage adapted to carry the first size product out of the product accommodating passage, and only the second stopper member of the second set of stopper members is driven to project into the product accommodating passage adapted to hold another first size product and to retract from the product accommodating passage adapted to carry the another first size product to the first stopper member of the second set of stopper members.
