Piston enters the notch 11a of the housing cylinder 11 of the cartridge column 10 facing the same, and collides from the side with the lowermost powdered beverage sealed cartridge A of the powdered beverage sealed cartridge row accommodated in the accommodation cylinder 11, The powdered beverage sealed cartridge A is pushed laterally out of the cartridge column 10 in the manner of dropping a ball. The lateral movement of the second-stage powder beverage sealed cartridge A from the bottom is prevented by the cross beam 31 a of the column 31. As a result, the stability of the remaining powdered beverage sealed cartridge A in the powdered beverage sealed cartridge row is ensured. The lowermost powdered beverage sealed cartridge A that has been pushed to the side moves onto the conveyor 41 of the opposing powdered beverage sealed cartridge transport and positioning device C.
After the lowermost powdered beverage sealed cartridge A is extruded to the side, the remaining portion of the powdered beverage sealed cartridge row is integrally lowered by one step. When the powdered beverage sealed cartridge A of the cartridge column 10 facing the air cylinder 30 is sold out, the drive lever 23 rotates, and the cartridge column 10 filled with the adjacent powdered beverage sealed cartridge A reaches a position facing the air cylinder 30. Moving. In the powdered beverage sealed cartridge storage device B, since a plurality of powdered beverage sealed cartridge rows share a single air cylinder 30, there is no need to provide an air cylinder 30 for each powdered beverage sealed cartridge row. Thereby, the powder beverage sealed cartridge storage device B
Manufacturing cost is reduced.

After the operation of the air cylinder 30 is completed, the conveyor 41 of the powdered beverage sealed cartridge transport / positioning device C is used.
Operates, and the powdered beverage sealed cartridge A that has moved onto the conveyor 41 moves toward the hot water supply device D as indicated by an arrow in FIG.

The hot water supply device D operates in synchronization with the operation of the air cylinder 30 of the powdered beverage sealed cartridge storage device B. When the user inserts a coin into a coin slot (not shown) and presses a product selection button (not shown), the drive piston 54b of the pressurized water heater 54 is positioned above the hot water cylinder 54, as shown in FIG. The hot water supply cylinder 54 is also at the upper standby position under the urging force of a spring (not shown). The locking member 42 attached to the hot water supply cylinder 54 is located above the upper end of the sealed powder beverage cartridge A on the conveyor 41. Hot water 200 is supplied from the water heating device 52 to the hot water supply cylinder 54a of the pressurized hot water supply device 54 in the state of FIG.

The pressurized water heater 5 is synchronized with the operation of the conveyor 41 of the powdered beverage sealed cartridge transport positioning device C.
The fourth drive piston 54b descends and fits into the hot water supply cylinder 54a as shown in FIG. The hot water supply cylinder 54a is slightly lowered by being pushed by the drive piston 54b. As a result, as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 12 (b), the locking member 42 located above the upper end of the powdered beverage sealed cartridge A on the conveyor 1 has the powdered beverage sealed cartridge A on the conveyor 41, as shown in FIG. And lowers to a height position at which it can be engaged. At this time, the hot water supply needle 54e is located higher than the upper end of the sealed powdered beverage cartridge A on the conveyor 41. The powdered beverage sealed cartridge A on the conveyor 41 reaches a position immediately below the pressurized water heater 54. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG.
Is engaged with the locking member 42, and the powdered beverage sealed cartridge A stops. When the bottomed right cylindrical body 1 is engaged with the locking member 42, the sealed powdered beverage cartridge A is positioned with respect to the pressurized water heater 54 of the water heater D, more specifically, with respect to the hot water supply needle 54e.
