Definitions

  • the invention relates to an automatic food dispenser for dispensing hot ready meals, comprising a housing with a front side in which operating elements are provided and a cooling room for storing a supply of cooled packaged ready meals.
  • At least one oven preferably a microwave oven, is arranged under the cooling space, which has a cooking space for receiving a cooled ready meal, an oven door provided with an opening mechanism and a movable cooking surface mechanically coupled to the oven door.
  • An electromechanical removal device is provided on the underside of the cooling compartment, which removes a single ready meal from the cooling container and slides over a pivoting closure flap onto the cooking surface when the oven door is open.
  • the hot ready meal is delivered to the operator via an output space accessible to the operator.
  • one or more chilled food portions are removed from the storage container by means of an electro-mechanical folding mechanism. This then slides due to its own gravity over an inclined surface on a deflection flap, which is lowered when the oven door is opened by means of electromechanics so that the food on it slides over another inclined surface into the interior of the oven. After the heating process has ended, the oven door is opened again and, at the same time, the food heating surface coupled via a mechanism is raised in such a way that the heated food portion is fed to the delivery space via a further inclined sliding surface.
  • the known device also has the disadvantage that only a very specific product, for example pizza of a single flavor, can be dispensed.
  • a very specific product for example pizza of a single flavor
  • the user of a modern machine however, expects a choice between different products.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to create a food vending machine for dispensing hot ready meals with an improved mechanism for removing and transporting the chilled or hot ready meals and the possibility of choosing between different dishes.
  • Different ready meals can be stored in the chilled or, if necessary, deep-frozen state in the several tube magazines of the drum store.
  • the operator can select a specific tube magazine which is then rotated into a predetermined position via the fixed closure flap of the cooling space.
  • the oven located below the cooling room opens by extending its push frame together with the push front that forms the oven door.
  • the cooking tray arranged on the push frame moves upwards in synchronism with the push frame into a loading position.
  • the closure flap opens and the product removed from the selected tube magazine slides onto the horizontal cooking surface of the cooking tray.
  • the tray When the oven door is closed, the tray automatically moves back into its lowered cooking position within the Cooking space. After the heating process has been completed, the oven door extends again, and the cooking tray is automatically moved up again. This time, however, the push frame extends a little further, so that the cooking tray is moved correspondingly upwards into a serving position within the serving area. Through the serving opening in the front of the housing, behind which the serving area is located, the operator can remove the desired hot ready meal directly from the tray.
  • the design of the oven door according to the invention as a horizontally extendable push frame with a push front and the arrangement of a cooking tray automatically lifting when the oven door is opened on the push frame represent a transport mechanism for the cooled ready meal into the cooking space or the delivery of the hot ready meal that is as simple as it is reliable.
  • the invention has created a structurally simple, reliably functioning and satisfying operator's wish machine for dispensing hot ready meals.
  • the automatic food dispenser contains two identical ovens arranged next to one another, the closure flap then being arranged in the middle between the two ovens and pivotable about its central axis to both sides, and each oven having its own dispensing space with a dispensing opening is.
  • the closure flap then being arranged in the middle between the two ovens and pivotable about its central axis to both sides, and each oven having its own dispensing space with a dispensing opening is.
  • the tube magazines have a support base for the associated stack of ready meals, an ejection slot passing through the support base and a side ejection opening for the ejection of the lowest ready meal in each case, and a movable ejector is arranged in the area of the closure flap, which Ejection position engages in the ejection slot of one of the tube magazines.
  • the lowest ready meal is removed from a tube magazine by rotating the drum storage while the ejector is in the eject position. Due to the relative movement between the passing tubular magazine and the fixed ejector, the ready meal to be separated is pushed out laterally by the ejector through the ejection opening in the tubular magazine in the direction of the - still closed - flap.
  • the ejector can, for example, be fastened to a swivel bracket that is pivotally mounted above the closure flap and can slide on the top of the closure flap, so that it is automatically pivoted upwards from its rest position into the eject position when the closure flap is opened.
  • a passive ejection mechanism the movement of which is coupled to the pivoting movement of the closure flap, an ejector which can be activated independently can also be provided.
  • the proposed automatic food machine is particularly suitable for serving pizza, which is usually round.
  • the tubular magazines for storing the chilled or frozen ready-meals are expediently round in cross-section.
  • the tube magazines can, however, also have a rectangular, in particular square, cross section, for example to hold frozen packs with Italian pasta dishes.
  • the food vending machine additionally comprises at least one cutlery magazine arranged within the housing for receiving a stack of packaged disposable cutlery and an associated removal slot in the front of the housing.
  • the user of the machine will also receive the matching cutlery along with the desired hot dish. It is useful to have an electrically operated cutout on the cutlery magazine slide provided, which moves the lowest disposable cutlery from the cutlery magazine in the direction of the removal slot.
  • the food dispenser shown in FIG. 1 from the point of view of the operator has an all-round closed housing 1.
  • On its front side 2 there are operating elements, namely two coin inserts 3 and fields with selection keys 4.
  • the control elements are each assigned an output opening 5 or 5 'for the desired ready meal and a double removal slot 6 for the output of packaged cutlery.
  • the housing 1 contains a frame 7, in the upper part of which a cooling space 8 is arranged.
  • the inside of the cooling space 8 is accessible to authorized service personnel through a door 9 opening towards the front.
  • the cooling chamber 8 contains a drum store 10, which comprises six tubular magazines 11 arranged on a circular path, each for receiving a stack of frozen ready meals 12.
  • the drum storage 10 is rotatably mounted about a vertical axis of rotation 13 in an upper pivot bearing 14 and a lower pivot bearing 15.
  • the drum store 10 can be set in rotation by means of a geared motor 16 acting on the axis of rotation 13, the tubular magazines 11 moving in a circular path.
  • the individual tube magazines 11 are suspended in brackets 17 fastened radially on the axis of rotation 13, so that they can be easily removed for maintenance purposes.
  • radially outwardly directed cutouts 18 are provided, through which the ready meals 12 can be stored after opening the front side 2 and the door 9 of the cooling space 8.
  • the tubular magazines 11 At its lower end, the tubular magazines 11 have a support base 19 on which the stack of ready meals 12 stands. Corresponding to the circular path on which the tubular magazines 11 travel, curved ejection slots 20 pass through the shelves 19. Lateral ejection openings 21 serve to eject the lowest ready meal 12 in each case.
  • a cooling unit 22 arranged in the lower part of the frame 7 maintains the required low storage temperature within the cooling space 8.
  • a rectangular opening 23 is provided in the underside of the cooling space 8, to which a removal shaft 24 adjoins at the bottom.
  • a closure flap 25 closes the removal shaft 24 and thus the cooling space 8 in a cold-tight manner from the bottom.
  • the closure flap 25 is pivotable about its central axis 26 to both sides. By means of an electric servomotor 27, the closure flap 25 can pivot either clockwise or counterclockwise.
  • a pivot bracket 28 is pivotally mounted in the side walls of the removal shaft 24.
  • the swivel bracket 28 carries an ejector 29, which is designed here as a rectangular plate. With its lower edge, the ejector 29 slides on the top of the closure flap 25. To reduce friction, the ejector 29 carries a small roller 30 at its lower end.
  • each oven 31 or 31 ' has a horizontally extendable push frame 32 with a push front 33 which forms the oven door.
  • a lifting cylinder 34 serves as the drive for the push frame 32.
  • the push frame 32 carries a laterally arranged bearing block 35 on the right and left.
  • a respective pivot lever 36 with a short lever arm 37 and a long lever arm 38 is pivotally mounted in the associated bearing block 35.
  • a cooking tray is suspended so that its flat cooking surface 40 is always horizontal.
  • a stop 40 is provided on the right and left on the side, which interacts with the corresponding short lever arm 37 (see FIG. 4).
  • the cooking tray 39 is in its lowered cooking position within the cooking space 41, as shown in dashed lines in FIG. If the push frame 32 is now extended to the front, the fixed stop 40 strikes the short lever arm 37 which is also transported from a certain distance traveled, which, when the push frame 32 is extended further, causes the pivoting lever 36 to pivot and the cooking tray 39 suspended thereon to be lifted out leads upwards. In FIG. 4, the cooking tray 39 is drawn with solid lines in the loading position.
  • the drawer front 33 of the oven 31 closes again, the cooking tray 39 due to the interaction between the short lever arm 37 and the stop 40 corresponding to the distance traveled back into its lowered cooking position within the cooking space 41 is moved back.
  • cutlery magazines 43 for accommodating a stack of packaged disposable cutlery are arranged inside the housing 1 on the right and left. Electrically operated pushers 44 are provided on these cutlery magazines 42, by means of which the bottom disposable cutlery is pushed out of the respective cutlery magazine 43 to the front so that it can be gripped by the operator through the associated removal slot 6 on the front side 2.
  • the closure flap 25 is in its horizontal rest position, in which it closes the removal shaft 24 in a cold-tight manner at the bottom.
  • the ejector 29 with its roller 30 lies loosely on the top of the closure flap 25.
  • the swivel bracket 28, which carries the ejector 29, is also in the horizontal rest position.
  • a tube magazine 11 is located vertically above the opening 23 in the underside of the cooling space 8 and thus also directly above the closure flap 25.
  • the lowest frozen ready meal 12 lies on the slightly inclined support base 19 of the tube magazine 11, it already has something to the side of the ejection opening 21 protrudes.
  • the removal process is now initiated by rotating the closure flap 25 by approximately 20 degrees in the clockwise direction, as shown in FIG. 5b.
  • the swivel bracket 28 with the ejector 29 is also pushed upwards in the direction of the tubular magazine 11.
  • the tubular magazine 11 is slowly moved in the direction of the arrow by rotating the drum store 10 on its predetermined circular path.
  • the upper part of the ejector 29 comes into engagement with the ejection slot 20 in the support base 19 in a finger-like manner.
  • the ready meal 12 begins to slide out of the ejection opening 21 laterally. If the tubular magazine 11 has been moved far enough in the direction of the arrow, the ready meal finally falls from the support base 19 onto the surface of the closure flap 25.
  • the closure flap 25 returns to its horizontal rest position. Due to the special design of the removal shaft 24 and the limited pivoting of the closure flap 25 by approximately 20, the removal of the separated ready meal 12 from the tubular magazine 11 could be accomplished without cold air having escaped from the cooling chamber 8 downwards.
  • the closure flap 25, which can be pivoted equally about its central axis 26 in both directions, thus represents a switch with which an individual ready-made meal 12 either the cooking tray 39 of the left-hand oven 31 or the cooking tray 39 'of the right-hand oven 31' (see FIG. 3) is fed.
  • closure flap After completing the removal and delivery cycle described above, the closure flap returns to its horizontal closed position, as shown in Figure 5a.
