Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a food and drink such as sushi, which is placed on a conveyor lane on a conveyor table on which a counter is provided, and is rotated in a food and drink space.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rotating food and drink providing apparatus in which a drinker selects and eats a favorite food.

More specifically, the present invention relates to a rotary food and drink providing apparatus having a shuttle conveyor for a lowering table in a double conveyor lane.

[0003]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional double conveyor lane, in a rotary food / beverage providing apparatus having a shuttle conveyor for lowering trays, a position where a lowering tray loaded with a return tray or the like is placed on the lowering shuttle conveyor is mounted. However, a side plate (decorative plate) is attached to a side surface of the kitchen conveyor block facing the customer seat conveyor table, which is a transport source of one end of the shuttle conveyor for the lower table.

[0004] That is, the side surface facing the customer seat conveyor is concealed by the side plate so that the shuttle conveyor for the lower tray set in the kitchen conveyor table and the returned return tray and the like are not seen by the food and drink. .

[0005] However, this means that, in order to use the shuttle conveyor for lowering trays, except for the exceptional place where the shuttle conveyor for lowering trays can be directly used without using the shuttle conveyor for lowering trays, it is necessary to return the passage between the conveyor seats of the seating section. However, it is necessary to carry around by hand around the front end of each seating section conveyor table and to the transportation source of the shuttle conveyor for lowering table, which poses a problem of labor burden and quick return.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to quickly and easily return a dish or the like in a rotary food and beverage providing apparatus having a shuttle conveyor for a lowering table in such a double conveyor lane. Aim.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a seat conveyor is arranged in parallel in a food and drink space at an interval, and is installed in a kitchen at a right angle to the seat conveyor. In a rotary food and drink provision apparatus of a double conveyor lane, a kitchen conveyor belt is installed at one end of the conveyor table and a shuttle conveyor for lowering trays is provided in a lower stage of the conveyor lane on the kitchen conveyor floor. A return window hole is provided in a side plate of the kitchen section conveyor table facing the passage between the section conveyor tables, at a position above the shuttle conveyor for the lower table. The return window may have an opening / closing door.

Since a return window is provided in the side plate facing the passage between the customer's seat conveyors of the kitchen conveyor, a lower tray carrying a plate and the like to be returned from the return window is passed through.
It can be placed on the shuttle conveyor for descent tables. At this time, if an opening / closing door is provided in the return window, usually the door is closed and the appearance is good, and it is only necessary to open the door only when necessary, and it is even better if the opening and closing are performed automatically.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an example of arrangement of a general conveyor table of a rotary food and beverage providing apparatus having a shuttle conveyor for a lowering table in a double conveyor lane.

In the eating and drinking space 1, a conveyor table 2 for a customer seat,
3 and 4 are installed in parallel with an interval, and connected to the kitchen side end of each of the customer seat conveyor tables 2, 3 and 4, and the kitchen section conveyor tables 5.
Is installed in the kitchen space 6. Therefore, each of the conveyor units 2, 3, and 4 of the seats are connected and connected by the conveyor unit 5 of the kitchen, and two conveyor lanes A and B are arranged on all the conveyor units. Orbital lanes can be formed.

That is, the conveyor lane 5A of the kitchen conveyor 5 is connected to the conveyor lane 2A of the customer conveyor 2.
And returns to the opposite conveyor lane 2B around the tip, continues to the conveyor lane 5B of the kitchen conveyor block 5, and further conveys the conveyor lanes 3A, 3A
B, a rounding lane is formed which returns to the conveyor lane 5A of the kitchen conveyor base 5 via the conveyor lane 5B of the kitchen conveyor base 5 and the conveyor lanes 4A and 4B of the customer seat conveyor base 4 again.

On the other hand, a shuttle conveyor 8 for a lower table is installed in the middle part of the kitchen conveyor 5 using the space 7. And the above-mentioned conveyor belt conveyor 2, 3,
4 and kitchen section conveyor stand 5 and conveyor lanes A and B
And the arrangement of the shuttle conveyor 8 for the lower table are a known configuration example which is conventionally arbitrarily designed.

In the present invention, return window holes 10A and 10B are provided in the side plate 9 of the kitchen conveyor base 5 facing the passages 1A and 1B between the customer base conveyors 2, 3 and 4. The height of the return window holes 10A and 10B is such that it can pass the gripped lower tray over the space 7 on the lower row shuttle conveyor 8.

FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 show a case where an opening / closing door 11 is provided in return window holes 10A and 10B. Door 11 is upper and lower frame 1
This is a sliding door in which rails 13A and 13B are laid on 2A and 12B. Opening and closing operations are easy by using a sliding door, and it is also suitable for inserting a lower tray.

Further, in order to automatically open and close, the endless rope 14 is connected to the pulley
A, 15B, the door 16 and the endless rope 14 are locked 16 and a small gear motor 18 is attached to one shaft of the pulley 15A.
Are connected. Then, a light source switch 17 is provided on the front surface of the opening / closing door 11, and the small gear motor 18 is
Is rotated in the forward and reverse directions to automatically open and close the opening / closing door 11 as necessary.

The forward / reverse rotation time of the small gear motor 18 and the stop time until the reverse rotation can be arbitrarily set according to the size of the return window. The control switch is not limited to the example shown in the drawing. It may be a switch or a button switch. In addition, the layout of the customer seat conveyor table is also an example in the drawings, and is not limited thereto.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the return window hole is provided in the side plate of the kitchen conveyor table facing the passage between the customer table conveyor tables, the returned material such as tableware can be returned in the shortest distance. It can be put on a shuttle conveyor for lowering table from a hole, and has the effect of improving work efficiency, speeding up, and reducing work labor.
