Detailed Description
The mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
< integral Structure >
Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing an external configuration of a beverage supply apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing a control system of the beverage supply apparatus 1 shown in fig. 1. The beverage supply apparatus 1 illustrated here is a coffee machine installed in a store such as a convenience store, for example, and performs grinding of coffee beans and extraction of droplets, for example, to supply a beverage such as coffee to a container C such as a cup.
As shown in fig. 1, the beverage supply apparatus 1 has a main body cabinet 2 and a front surface door 3. The main body cabinet 2 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape with an opening front surface. A beverage generating unit 44 for generating a beverage (e.g., coffee) is provided in the main body cabinet 2.
The front surface door 3 is a door body having a size sufficient to block an opening of the front surface of the main body cabinet 2. The front door 3 is provided at a side edge portion of the front side of the main body cabinet 2 so as to be swingable about a central axis of a shaft portion, not shown, extending in the up-down direction, and is capable of opening and closing an opening of the front surface of the main body cabinet 2.
The front surface of the front surface door 3 constitutes a guest-facing surface, and is provided with a display operation section 10 and an opening/closing door 4. The display operation unit 10 is constituted by a touch panel, for example, and displays various information and enables various operation inputs. A confirmation button 10a for instructing the start of the generation and the supply of the beverage is displayed on the display operation section 10.
The opening/closing door 4 is provided below the display operation unit 10, and a beverage supply space EA is formed in the depth direction of the opening/closing door 4. The beverage supply space EA has a nozzle 5 and a stage 6. The nozzle 5 discharges the beverage generated by the beverage generating unit 44 downward. The stage 6 is provided in a region below the nozzle 5. The stage 6 is provided with an arcuate stopper 7 for placing the container C thereon. That is, the beverage supply space EA is also an arrangement area for arranging the containers C.
The opening/closing door 4 is made of a transparent material such as a transparent resin, and has a size sufficient to cover the entrance side of the beverage supply space EA. The left end of the opening/closing door 4 is axially supported by the front door 3 and can swing in the front-rear direction. That is, the opening/closing door 4 can swing in the front-rear direction so as to approach and separate from the beverage supply space EA, and can close the inlet side of the beverage supply space EA when swinging backward so as to approach and open the inlet side of the beverage supply space EA when swinging forward so as to separate from the beverage supply space EA.
As shown in fig. 2, the beverage supply apparatus 1 includes a display operation unit 10, a container detection unit 20, an information reading unit 30, a door opening/closing detection unit 41, a door opening/closing locking mechanism 42, a storage unit 43, a beverage generation unit 44, and a control unit 50.
The display operation unit 10 is an input/output interface such as a touch panel, and displays and inputs various information. As described above, the display operation section 10 has the confirm button 10a.
The container detection unit 20 includes a container detection sensor 21 such as a photosensor, for example, and detects whether or not the container C is placed in the beverage supply space EA, that is, whether or not the container C is placed on the stage 6.
The information reading unit 30 is provided in the beverage supply space EA, and includes a beverage type sensor 31 and a container size sensor 32. The container size sensor 32 has a cold mass sensor and a hot mass sensor.
The beverage type sensor 31 is provided on the side surface of the beverage supply space EA in a direction in which containers C of all sizes can be detected at the upper portion of the container detection sensor 21. The beverage type sensor 31 reads the color of the container C to determine the beverage type. For example, when the color of the container C is white or brown, the beverage type sensor 31 determines that the container is hot coffee, and when the container is other than white, the beverage type sensor 31 determines that the container is cold coffee. The beverage type sensor 31 may detect the material of the container C based on the reflectance of the container C or the like, instead of detecting the color of the container C, and may determine the beverage type based on the detection result. In addition, when the type of beverage is determined by reading the color of the container C, the beverage determination information D1 stored in the storage unit 43 is used for determination. The beverage type sensor 31 may be the following sensor: instead of detecting only the color of the container C or only the material of the container C, the detection is appropriately combined.
As described above, the container size sensor 32 has a cold large capacity sensor and a hot large capacity sensor to detect the size of the container C. For example, when the cold L (large) size, the hot L (large) size, the cold R (normal) size, and the hot R (normal) size are present in order from large to small as the size of the container C, the cold large-capacity sensor is disposed on the side surface of the beverage supply space EA, the cold L size sensor is disposed at a position where only the cold L size can be detected, the hot large-capacity sensor is disposed on the side surface of the beverage supply space EA, and the hot L size sensor is disposed at a position where only the hot L size can be detected.
The beverage type sensor 31 and the container size sensor 32 function as a beverage information detecting unit that discriminates the beverage type and the beverage capacity of the container C. The function of the beverage information detecting unit is, for example, as follows: whether cold coffee or hot coffee is determined based on the detection result of the beverage type sensor 31, and when cold coffee is detected by the cold large-capacity sensor, the large size of cold coffee is determined, and when cold coffee is detected by the cold large-capacity sensor, the normal size of cold coffee is determined. When the beverage type is hot coffee, the hot coffee is determined to be large in size when the hot large-volume sensor detects the container C, and the hot coffee is determined to be normal in size when the hot large-volume sensor does not detect the container C.
The door opening/closing detecting unit 41 is provided near the entrance of the beverage supply space EA, and is constituted by, for example, an optical sensor or the like. The door opening/closing detecting unit 41 detects opening/closing of the entrance by the opening/closing door 4, more specifically, whether or not the opening/closing door 4 is closed.
The door opening and closing lock mechanism 42 is provided near the entrance of the beverage supply space EA. The door opening/closing lock mechanism 42 locks the opening/closing door 4 while keeping the door closed, and unlocks the opening/closing door 4.
The storage unit 43 is a storage device including a hardware device, a nonvolatile memory, and the like, and stores at least the beverage determination information D1.
The beverage generating unit 44 generates a beverage of the type and the volume of the beverage detected by the beverage type sensor 31 and the container size sensor 32, and supplies the beverage to the container C. The beverage producing unit 44 produces a beverage by performing, for example, grinding of coffee beans, extraction of droplets, and the like, and supplies the beverage to the container C.
The control unit 50 is a control unit that performs overall control of the beverage supply apparatus 1, and includes a beverage supply control unit 51 and a beverage supply start control unit 52. In practice, programs corresponding to the beverage supply control unit 51 and the beverage supply start control unit 52 are stored in a storage device such as a nonvolatile memory or a magnetic disk device, and these programs are loaded into the memory and executed by a CPU (Central Processing Unit: central processing unit), thereby executing the corresponding steps.
The beverage supply control unit 51 performs the following control: the beverage generating unit 44 is configured to generate a beverage of the type and volume of the beverage detected by the beverage type sensor 31 and the container size sensor 32, and supply the beverage to the container C.
When the fixed time has elapsed without the pressing operation of the confirmation button 10a from the start of the display of the confirmation button 10a, the beverage supply start control unit 52 instructs the beverage supply control unit 51 to start the generation and supply of the beverage. When the display operation unit 10 is operating normally, the beverage supply start control unit 52 performs a process of causing the display operation unit 10 to display a countdown screen showing the remaining time until the generation and supply of the beverage are started.
< beverage supply control Process >
Fig. 3 is a flowchart showing a beverage supply control process performed by the control unit 50 shown in fig. 2. As shown in fig. 3, the control unit 50 determines whether or not the container C is located on the stage 6 of the beverage supply space EA based on the detection result of the container detection unit 20 (step S110). If the container C is not located on the stage 6 (no in step S110), the present determination process is repeated. On the other hand, when the container C is located on the stage 6 (yes in step S110), it is further determined whether or not the opening/closing door 4 is closed based on the detection result of the door opening/closing detection unit 41 (step S120). When the opening/closing door 4 is not closed (no in step S120), the determination process in step S120 is repeated.
On the other hand, when the opening/closing door 4 is closed (yes in step S120), the beverage type and the beverage capacity are determined based on the detection results of the beverage type sensor 31 and the container size sensor 32 (step S130).
Thereafter, the control unit 50 causes the display operation unit 10 to display the beverage type and the beverage volume determined in step S120 and to guide the guidance display of the guidance touch check button 10a (step S140). Then, the control unit 50 determines whether or not the confirm button 10a is touched (step S150). When the confirmation button 10a is touched (yes in step S150), the control unit 50 locks the opening/closing door 4 in the closed state using the door opening/closing lock mechanism 42 (step S160). Thereafter, the control unit 50 causes the beverage generation unit 44 to perform processing of generating and supplying a beverage by means of the beverage supply control unit 51 (step S170).
Then, the control unit 50 determines whether or not the beverage supply by the beverage generating unit 44 has ended (step S180). If the beverage supply is not completed (no in step S180), the control unit 50 returns to step S170 and continues the process of producing and supplying the beverage. On the other hand, when the beverage supply is completed (yes in step S180), the control unit 50 releases the lock of the closed state of the opening/closing door 4 by the door opening/closing lock mechanism 42 (step S190), and ends the present process.
On the other hand, when the confirm button 10a is not touched (no in step S150), it is further determined whether or not a fixed time has elapsed since the confirm button 10a was displayed (step S200). If the fixed time has not elapsed (no in step S200), the routine proceeds to step S150, where a determination is made as to whether or not the confirm button 10a has been touched.
When the fixed time has elapsed (yes in step S200), it is further determined whether or not the screen operation of the display operation unit 10 is in a state where it is impossible to perform the screen operation (step S210). If the screen operation is not impossible (no in step S210), a countdown screen showing the remaining time until the generation and supply of the beverage is started is displayed (step S220). Then, it is determined whether the countdown has ended (step S230). If the countdown is not completed (no in step S230), the process proceeds to step S220, and the display of the countdown screen is continued. On the other hand, when the countdown has ended (yes in step S230), the process proceeds to step S170, and the generation and supply of the beverage are started.
On the other hand, when the screen operation is not possible (yes in step S210), the process proceeds to step S170, and the generation and supply of the beverage are started.
In step S200, it is determined whether or not a fixed time has elapsed since the display confirmation button 10a, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and it may be determined whether or not a fixed time has elapsed in a state in which the display operation unit 10 is not operated, for example.
< example of display screen of display operation section >
Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of the display operation unit 10 shown in fig. 2. In fig. 4, a case of purchasing a hot coffee of a general size as a beverage is shown. In fig. 4 (a), first, a beverage production start screen P0 is displayed, and the beverage production start screen P0 includes: a display showing the beverage type and beverage volume, a display showing a confirm button 10a for starting extraction, and a guidance display for guiding the pressing of the confirm button 10a. In fig. 4 (a), the confirm button 10a is pressed, and therefore the beverage supply control section 51 starts to generate and supply a normal-size beverage of hot coffee, and displays the extraction screen P11.
Fig. 4 (b) shows a case where the screen display of the display operation section 10 is failed, and in this case, since the screen display is not possible, the generation and supply of the beverage is automatically started after a fixed time has elapsed.
Fig. 4 (c) shows a case where the screen display of the display operation section 10 is in a normal state, but the customer does not press the confirm button 10a within a fixed time. In this case, the screen display is normal, and thus a countdown screen P12 is displayed, and when the countdown is ended, generation and supply of the beverage is automatically started.
As described above, in the present embodiment, since the beverage can be supplied without operating the display operation unit 10, occurrence of complaints from other customers can be suppressed, and sales loss can be reduced.
