Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a stir-stick and sugar dispenser, particularly suitable for vending machines for hot beverages (tea, coffee, chocolate, etc.), according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Hot beverage vending machines are already known which are provided with devices intended to dispense sugar and with devices intended to dispense stir-sticks see e.g. EP 1107200 A2 : each one of such devices has its own separate motor means, connected to respective dispensing elements by way of various kinds of kinematic connection means.
  • the sugar dispensing element is generally connected directly to the driving shaft, whereas loading means (often of the elastic type), intended to prevent any blocking of sugar dispensing if the stir-stick dispensing element jams, are interposed between the stir-stick dispensing element and the actuation shaft.
  • the motor means must generally load the elastic loading means at each dispensing cycle, and accordingly it is necessary to use oversized motors for the cyclic peaks that must be withstood.
  • stir-sticks intended to be dispensed by the dispensing device often have thicknesses that vary, albeit slightly. This circumstance can entail blocking or jamming during the dispensing of the stir-sticks, due to the inaccurate match between the thickness of the stir-stick and the slot through which the stir-sticks must pass during dispensing.
  • the aim of the present invention is to eliminate or at least reduce drastically the drawbacks noted above in known types of sugar and stir-stick dispensers.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a sugar and stir-stick dispenser that can achieve higher operating reliability.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a sugar and stir-stick dispenser that has a very simple structure, is highly durable, easy to use, and competitive in terms of production cost, so that it is also advantageous from an economical standpoint.
  • a sugar and stir-stick dispenser generally designated by the reference numeral 1, comprises a supporting structure 2 for an actuation shaft 3.
  • the actuation shaft 3 is connected, at a first input end 3a, to motor means 4 and, at a second output end 3b, to an actuation cam 5.
  • the actuation cam 5 is keyed directly at the second output end 3b of the actuation shaft 3.
  • actuation shaft 3 is connected, by way of first conventional kinematic connection means, to a sugar dispensing element 10.
  • the actuation cam 5 is connected, by way of second kinematic connection means, to a stir-stick dispensing element 20, so that as a consequence of the rotation of the actuation shaft 3 (and therefore of the actuation cam 5), the stir-stick dispensing element 20 can move with an alternating back-and-forth motion, so as to allow to dispense a stir-stick inside the cup.
  • the second kinematic connection means comprise an actuation element 6, which can be actuated by the actuation cam 5: in particular, as clearly shown in the exploded views of Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the actuation element 6 can be advantageously constituted by a laminar element, which is slidably supported by two lateral guides supported by the supporting structure 2, so that it can move along an actuation axis 100.
  • a connecting pin 6a protrudes from the face of the actuation element 6 that is directed toward the actuation cam 5 and is designed to slide in engagement within a guide 5a formed on said actuation cam 5.
  • a first actuation portion 6b is formed on the actuation element 6 (in the illustrated example, at its upper end and is associated with a pusher 7, which is supported, so that it can rotate about a pivoting axis 7a, by said supporting structure 2.
  • the pusher 7 is designed to actuate with a back-and-forth motion the stir-stick dispensing element 20 in order to dispense the stir-stick into a cup.
  • the pusher 7 has a main body 7b provided with a first articulation arm 8a, which supports, at its free end, a motion receiving element 8; the pusher 7 further has a second articulation arm 9a, which is associated, at its free end, with a pusher portion 9.
  • the motion receiving element 8 is associated with a first seat, which constitutes the first actuation portion 6b, while the pusher portion 9 is associated with a respective pusher seat 9b formed on the stir-stick dispensing element 20.
  • the pusher 7 is elastically deformable by torsion about its own pivoting axis 7a.
  • first articulation arm 8a and/or the second articulation arm 9a can be provided so as to yield elastically about the pivoting axis 7a, so as to avoid blocking, for example if the stir-stick dispensing element 20 (and therefore the pusher portion 9) is blocked, the rotation of the actuation shaft 3, ensuring in any case dispensing of the sugar by the sugar dispensing element 10.
  • the first kinematic connection means can be constituted by a second actuation portion 11, which is also supported by the actuation element 6 and is kinematically connected to an actuation lever system, which is associated with the sugar dispensing element 10.
  • the sugar dispensing element 10 can be mounted so that it can oscillate about an oscillation axis 2a, which is supported by the supporting structure 2 at an intermediate pivoting portion 11 a thereof; moreover, the sugar dispensing element 10 has, on opposite sides with respect to said intermediate pivoting portion 11a, a spoon-shaped dispensing portion 11b and a control portion that engages the second actuation portion 11, so as to allow, as a consequence of the sliding of the actuation element 6 along the actuation axis 100, the oscillation (with consequent dispensing of sugar in the cup) of the sugar dispensing element 10.
  • first actuation portion 6b and the second actuation portion 11 are constituted by a respective seat, which is formed at substantially terminal portions (with respect to the direction defined by the actuation axis 100) of said actuation element 6.
  • the main body 7b of the pusher 7 is constituted by at least one connection portion 12, which is shaped like a portion of a spiral from which the first articulation arm 8a and the second articulation arm 9a protrude radially with respect to the pivoting axis 7a.
  • the main body is provided with a first internal spiral portion 12a, from the free end 12b whereof the second articulation arm 9a protrudes, and with a second external spiral portion 12c, from which the first articulation arm 8a protrudes at an intermediate portion.
  • first articulation arm 8a and the second articulation arm 9a are substantially angularly spaced through 90°, so as to allow the direction of the back-and-forth motion of the stir-stick dispensing element 20 to be substantially perpendicular with respect to the actuation axis 100 of the actuation element 6.
  • stir-stick dispensing element 20 is substantially fork-shaped and has, at its tip portions 20a, respective pusher protrusions 20b, which are designed to engage at least one stir-stick 200 arranged at the bottom of a stack of stir-sticks 201.
  • the tip portions 20a can slide within a pair of sliding rails 21 formed on the supporting structure 2, which in the illustrated example is constituted by two half-shells 22 and 23 provided with mutual connection means so as to obtain a box-like body in which the sugar and stir-stick dispenser 1 according to the invention is accommodated in a compact manner.
  • the motor means drive the actuation shaft 3 and therefore the actuation cam 5.
  • the pusher 7 behaves like a rigid body: in practice, it undergoes no deformation and transfers the back-and-forth motion of the actuation element 6 along the actuation axis into a back-and-forth motion of the stir-stick dispensing element 20 within the rails formed on the supporting structure 2.
  • the actuation element 6 also moves (with an oscillating motion) the sugar dispensing element 10.
  • the particular shape of the pusher 7 allows it to undergo a torsional deformation, allowing in any case the actuation element 6 to move (accordingly dispensing sugar) without this causing an excessive overload of the motor means.
  • a sugar and stir-stick dispenser allows to dispense, by means of a single motor, both the sugar and the stir-sticks without subjecting the motor to overloads at each cycle, since the second kinematic connection means, when no anomalies in stir-stick dispensing occur, behave like a rigid connection.
  • the materials used may be any according to requirements.
