Definitions

  • the invention relates to a food vending machine with a magazine for a plurality of chilled or uncooled portioned meals, a heating device, a dispensing station, a transport device acting between the magazine and the heating device, and a selection station, the magazine being arranged in a storage cabinet which is separated from one of the Warming device and the dispensing cabinet containing the dispensing station is detachable.
  • Such a food vending machine is known from GB-A 1 321 961.
  • the known food vending machine has a thermally insulated pantry which is provided with a cooling unit.
  • the storage cupboard is divided into several, for example five, magazines arranged next to one another, each magazine containing a certain type of food.
  • Each magazine has a switch on the front of the machine that is accessible to the user and with which the user can select a specific magazine and thus a specific dish, for example after inserting a suitable coin.
  • each magazine is assigned a setting device which is not accessible to the user and with which a warm-up time can be set individually for each magazine. In the example mentioned, it is therefore possible to offer five different dishes in the automatic food machine, wherein the identical dishes contained in a magazine are each associated with a certain same warm-up time.
  • the storage cupboard of the well-known machine is set up fixed in space.
  • a transport device inside.
  • a first part of the transport device moves vertically arranged frames of the magazines in the vertical direction until the bottom food dish in each case comes into the area of a conveyor belt which conveys this dish into the rear area of the storage cupboard.
  • There the bowl is placed on a common, transversely arranged conveyor belt and passes through an opening door in an outer wall of the storage cupboard into a heating device.
  • the heating device is designed as a movable unit with a microwave oven, which can be moved laterally into a continuation of the housing of the storage cupboard.
  • the heating device does not contain any transport device.
  • the well-known food vending machine works exclusively sequentially, i. H. From the approach of a first user to the selection of the food, the transportation and warming up to the serving of the food, only this one process is processed and a second user can only act when the first use process has been completely completed.
  • GB-A 707 405 also discloses a food vending machine which has a carousel-like food magazine which can be rotated about a vertical axis and from which food can be removed downwards through a chute.
  • this known food vending machine is a vending machine that dispenses the food, in particular ice cream, in a cooled state, so that the problems that arise from the additional provision of a heating device do not arise.
  • the invention is based on the object of developing a food processor of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the chronological order of serving is accelerated and in particular the downtimes during magazine loading are reduced, that at the same time the cooling effort is as low as possible and, moreover, there are absolutely perfect hygienic conditions.
  • the output station further contains the selection station and the transport device and is arranged in a fixed position, while the storage cupboard is designed as an exchange unit.
  • the storage cupboard and the dispensing cupboard are designed as cupboards standing side by side. This measure has the advantage that the storage cupboard can be moved particularly easily independently of the dispensing cupboard, for example when the empty or almost empty storage cupboard as a whole is uncoupled and replaced by a full storage cupboard.
  • the storage cupboard and the dispensing cupboard can be connected to one another via plug connections.
  • This measure has the advantage that the supply cabinet can be coupled and uncoupled from the dispensing cabinet in a particularly simple manner, without screw connections or the like having to be loosened or fastened.
  • the wall between the storage cupboard and the dispensing cupboard is closed except for at least one transfer opening.
  • This measure has the advantage of completely decoupling the two cabinets from one another to the absolutely necessary minimum, which on the one hand ensures the above-mentioned hygienic conditions and on the other hand enables the storage cabinet to be effectively insulated against loss of cold.
  • An embodiment is particularly preferred in which the transfer opening is part of a roller shutter.
  • This measure has the advantage that a single opening, which is precisely the minimum size required for transporting a food dish, can be used to move to a multiplicity of positions along the sliding path of the roller shutter, either horizontally or vertically.
  • the roller slide is movable in the vertical direction
  • the food dishes can be arranged one above the other in at least one vertical, removable shaft.
  • This measure has the advantage that the opening, which is variable in height, can be used to move to all positions of the shaft, whereby the removability of the shaft opens up a further possibility for loading the automatic food processor, because instead of the entire storage cupboard, only a single shaft can be replaced.
  • This measure has the advantage that only a single opening in a roller shutter is required. Furthermore, it has the essential advantage that the actuation of a certain position is accomplished by two different drive mechanisms, namely firstly by the vertical movement of the transport device and secondly by rotating the carousel. Since both movements can take place at the same time, the total time from driving one height position in one shaft to another height position in another shaft is markedly reduced.
  • a drive for the carousel is arranged in the dispensing cabinet and connected to the carousel via a pluggable drive connection.
  • a carousel in the manner of a so-called rotary conveyor with an oval conveyor track is used instead of a simple carousel with an essentially circular conveyor track.
  • the storage capacity of such a magazine is naturally considerably greater than that of a simple carousel, because a rotary conveyor basically consists of a two-part circular magazine with two tangential sections inserted between it. If the installation conditions permit and a higher magazine capacity is desired, such a rotary conveyor can also be used with advantage.
  • the dispensing cabinet has a cooling device which is connected to the interior of the storage cabinet via a plug-in connector.
  • the transport device has a vertically movable platform and a transport slide that can be moved out of the platform provided, the platform having means for dragging the roller slide.
  • This measure has the advantage that there is no need for separate drive means for the roller slide because the displacement of the roller slide is accomplished simultaneously by the drive of the transport device.
  • the platform can preferably be moved by means of at least one vertical spindle.
  • the shaft, the transport device and a conveyor belt leading to the heating device are arranged in a row.
  • This measure has the advantage that the food tray is removed from the compartment by the transport slide in one direction of movement and is moved over the platform to the heating device in a single linear movement.
  • the transport unit as a whole can be designed to be pivotable about a vertical axis, so that further degrees of freedom are possible in the transport of the food dishes.
  • the shaft, the transport unit and the conveyor belt leading to the heating device can be arranged at an angle of, for example, 90 ° to one another.
  • This measure has the advantage that a more compact arrangement of the elements in the serving cabinet is created, whereby the food dishes take a movement path "around the corner" by means of the swiveling transport unit.
  • An embodiment of a food vending machine according to the invention is characterized in that the pantry is provided with an information and selection station 14, the dispenser on the side facing the pantry with a payment station and on the side facing away from the pantry with the dispensing station.
  • This measure has the advantage that three people can work side by side on the machine, in the logical order of the workflow. While one person at the information and dialing station first studies the menu and then makes his selection, the second person can already pay for the selected dishes, while at the same time the third person waits for the selected and paid dishes to pass through the warm-up station.
  • the method of working according to the invention between the three positions of dialing / paying / dispensing results in a significant increase in the throughput numbers and thus in faster processing of the machine users. In work breaks, for example, this leads to a much faster serving of the food and thus to a reduction in the undesirable and, above all, unpopular waiting times before the food is served.
  • a central information and dialing station and at least two dispensing stations arranged laterally therefrom are provided, and a display points the way to the respectively controlled dispensing station.
  • Payment stations are preferably provided between the central office and the dispensing stations.
  • the information and dialing station can preferably be designed as a projecting pulpit and the payment stations can preferably be arranged on the sides of the pulpit.
  • the food vending machine is arranged in a wall to a kitchen, the wall facing the kitchen being provided with doors for loading the pantry.

  • the entire carousel 30 is rotatably supported about a first z-axis 37.
  • Each shaft 31 to 31 consists of a plurality of compartments arranged one above the other, in the shaft 31 one of these compartments is designated 38. In these compartments 38, as will be shown further below in FIG. 7, individual portioned meals are arranged, which can be removed from the compartment 38 in the direction of a y-axis 39.
  • the storage cabinet 11 is provided with a side wall 40 in the area adjacent to the dispensing cabinet 12.
  • the side wall 40 has a roller slide 41, the height and width of which is dimensioned such that it is aligned with the shaft 31 facing the side wall 40.
  • the roller slide 41 is provided with a single opening 42 which is just large enough for a food to be removed from the compartment 38.
  • the roller slide 41 can be rolled up at the positions designated 43 so far that the opening 42 can be pushed through from the uppermost position of the shaft 31 to the lowest position.
  • bushings 44 are used, which are carried by associated pins of a transport device, as will be explained in connection with FIG.
  • the intermediate wall 40 also has an opening 45 and a further opening 46, wherein the opening 45 is used to connect a cooling unit, as indicated by an arrow 47, and the opening 46 is used to pass an axis 48 which drives the carousel 30. This is explained in more detail below in relation to FIG. 5.
  • the storage cupboard 11 can be provided with rollers 51 on the underside.
  • the supply cabinet 11 can be loaded in three different ways. On the one hand, the individual compartments 38 can be refilled by hand as required through a further opening, for example in the rear of the storage cupboard 11.
  • the entire storage cupboard 11 can also be rolled away by means of the rollers 51 and replaced by another storage cupboard, the carousel 30 of which is completely filled with food.
  • the rollers 51 and the openings 45 and 46 are provided, which allow the storage cabinet 11 to be connected to the adjacent dispensing cabinet 12 in a direction designated by 50 in FIG. 2, for example via a pin connection.
