Definitions

  • the invention has for its object to design an automatic dispenser of the type mentioned in such a way that, while ensuring a space-saving design, the food can be transported quickly and easily into the transfer position between the storage device and the elevator.
  • the storage device is formed by a plurality of conveyor belts arranged one above the other, the foodstuffs located on the conveyor belts being moved piece by piece only in the direction of the transfer position, so that unnecessary transport routes are eliminated. Only the foodstuffs on the relevant conveyor belt are moved forward and therefore not all the foodstuffs present, as is the case with the prior art.
  • the dispenser according to the invention a large number of foods and, in addition, a large number of different types of food can be stored or deposited on the conveyor belts, so that the control of the conveyor belts is relatively simple, in particular with regard to the presence of several types of food.
  • the main parts of the dispensing machine are a housing 2 with an upper housing space 3 as a cooling space, in which a storage device 4 is arranged, a lower housing space 5, in which a baking device 6 is arranged, an elevator 7 acting between the storage device 4 and the baking device 6, an output conveyor 8 downstream of the baking device 6, a coin apparatus 9 controlling the authorized removal of a food, preferably with a coin changer and an electronic control 10, preferably with a loudspeaker 11 controlled by it, for instructions to the operator.
  • the upper housing space 3 is lined with insulation 12 (FIG. 2), and there is a cooler 13 or evaporator at the rear of the upper housing space 3, for the controlled maintenance of a cooling temperature in the upper housing space 3
  • the wall 14 is also in the lower position with a mains connection part 15 in a preferably central position, a cooling unit 16 in a preferably right position and an electrical supply device 17 for the baking device 6, which is a continuous furnace in the present embodiment.
  • the baking device 6 is a microwave oven, and an additional infrared heating device with eight infrared tubes 18 as a light emitter is integrated in the baking device 6, preferably finger tubes with an electrical connection on only one side, which is above and below the passage level 19 of the baking device 6, namely horizontally and transversely to the direction of passage 21.
  • the magnetron of the microwave oven is designated by 22 and is located on the top of the baking device 6 in the middle position as seen from the front (FIG. 3).
  • the conveyor belt 29 of the elevator 7 is driven in the opposite conveying direction, namely in the direction of the continuous furnace 45, so that the one located thereon Portion actuated a second conveyor belt switch 66 at its right end, which turns on the conveyor belt 46, unless it has already been switched on by a previous portion.
  • the portion thus arrives in the continuous oven 45 which is switched on when the food is selected (keyboard 58) or when the coin is inserted, and reaches the range of microwaves and infrared rays (light radiation in the close range).
  • the throughput time through the continuous furnace 45 is approximately two minutes in the present exemplary embodiment in which the continuous furnace 45 is dimensioned about 6oo mm long. During this time, the portion is heated by the microwaves and infrared radiation.
  • the moisture in the portion caused by the microwaves is compensated for by the infrared radiation, it having to be taken into account that the infrared radiation has a certain depth effect, that of 15 to 25 mm can lie.
  • the portion or the portions already in the continuous furnace 45
  • the portion is baked, and it is baked crispy, especially on the outside, while maintaining a certain internal moisture. Due to the depth effect of the infrared radiation, baking takes place in the inner area of the portion, whereby the negative appearance when heated solely by microwaves, namely a pasty or sticky state, is counteracted or compensated for, so that a tasty, crispy and tasty portion is achieved becomes.
  • the existing four pairs of tubes 18 are preferably divided into a first and a second group G1, G2, of which the first group G1 is controlled in a temperature range from about 28o ° C to 31o ° C (28o ° C on, 31o ° C off) , while the second group G2 generates an approximately constant temperature of approximately 36o ° C.
  • the baking quality is further improved by the lower temperature in the first half of the continuous furnace 45.
  • the portion thus reaches the conveyor belt 31 and actuates a switch 68, which stops the conveyor belt 31 one after the other or at the same time, switches the downward drive of the conveyor carriage 28 for the adjustment into the lower position, switches on the swivel motor 42 and, if necessary, the conveyor belt 31 again after a certain time delay switches on.
  • a push rod 71 attached to it, an opening flap 72 present in the lower housing door 54, which can be pivoted about an upper horizontal pivot axis, is opened outward and thus opened, so that the portion through the existing dispensing opening when conveyed through the conveyor belt 31 is output.
  • the push rod 71 meets a horizontal arm 71.1 on the dispensing flap 72.
  • the dispensing flap 72 is preferably locked in its closed position by a bolt 73 and is only unlocked at the time of dispensing a portion.
  • an electromagnet 74 (FIG. 9) held on the housing 2 or other parts thereof, the armature 75 of which electrically encloses a recess 76 in an inwardly angled leg 77 of the dispensing flap 72.
  • the actuation of the electromagnet 74 to release its bolt 73 is preferably also carried out when the portion triggers the conveyor belt switch 68.
  • the drive becomes of the conveyor belt 31 is turned off again and pivoted back through 90 ° into the lower position indicated in FIG. 7.
  • a problem-free transfer from conveyor belt to conveyor belt (23, 29, 46, 31) is ensured, on the one hand, by the downward step formed by the height difference d and, on the other hand, by the fact that the belts intermesh or overlap at the transfer point.
  • the portions are detached from one another by the step.
  • the overlap can be due to an offset arrangement or different number (e.g. 4 or 5) of the belts or chains. can be achieved.
  • a dispensing tray preferably in the form of a slide 91 (FIG. 1) with an upward-pointing end leg 92, on which the portion remains and can be accommodated in a manner that is easy to handle.
  • a storage shelf 93 is preferably arranged on the side, here on the left next to the dispensing panel arranged on one side, since the entire remaining distance of the front of the dispensing machine 1 or the lower housing door 54 can extend.
  • a serviette stand 94 and possibly also a stand 95 or a receptacle for cardboard boxes is preferably located on the side of the storage shelf 93 facing away from the output shelf. The baked-out portions which have been baked out can thus be packaged in a manner which is easy to handle or, if appropriate, also enjoyed on the storage shelf 93.
  • a tastefully baked food can be dispensed approximately every 20 seconds.
