摘要： A vending machine includes a refrigeration compartment, an oven compartment, structure for transferring a food product from the refrigeration compartment to the oven compartment, and structure for transferring the food product from the oven compartment to a user of the vending machine. The vending machine provides automated handling and cooking of packaged food products that enables a hot cooked food to be delivered to a customer in a cool package sleeve. The vending machine also includes a system for inventory control that enables vertical storage of packaged food products while minimizing crushing of packaged food products at the bottom of a stack. A magazine empty indicator automatically indicates when an inventory magazine is empty. An oven door latch mechanism eliminates the possibility that the oven can be operated while the oven door is open.

摘要翻译： 自动售货机包括冷藏室，烤箱隔室，用于将食品从冷藏室转移到烘箱室的结构，以及用于将食品从烤箱室转移到自动售货机的使用者的结构。 自动售货机提供包装食品的自动处理和烹饪，使热烹饪食物能够在冷却套筒中交付给客户。 自动售货机还包括一个库存控制系统，可以实现垂直存储包装的食品，同时最小化堆叠底部的包装食品的破碎。 杂志空白指示器会自动显示库存杂志何时为空。 烤箱门闩锁机构消除了烤箱门打开时可以操作烤箱的可能性。
