[0012]

However, the conventional structure of the beverage cooking unit provided in the above-mentioned cup mixing type beverage vending machine has the following problems in terms of hygiene.

(1) In the process of cooking a cold beverage, the ice chips discharged from the ice maker are put into the cup through the ice shooter after the raw material and the dilution water have been put into the cup. Since the head is large, ice pieces fall into the cup at a high speed in this state, and the impact scatters the beverage from the cup and soils the surroundings.

Therefore, a lid is provided at the open end of the ice shooter to be opened and closed by a solenoid operation or the like, and the ice pieces discharged from the ice making machine are temporarily stored here. Then, the lid is opened and the ice pieces are put into the cup with a low head.

(2) As a method for cleaning the paddle of the raw material stirring mechanism, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 11, hot water is sprayed from a hot water nozzle 5a-1 opened obliquely above the paddle 9a for cleaning. However, in this method, there is a problem that hot water is not sufficiently applied to the paddle and the paddle shaft, and the cleaning effect is low.

A straight tubular shower nozzle 14 is provided outside the hopper 15.
In No. 4, the blind spot occurs in the shower, so that the entire outer peripheral area of the hopper 14 cannot be cleaned, and the cleaning effect on the syrup nozzle 12 and the like is low. In particular, the outer peripheral surface of the hopper 14 is the most liable to be stained due to the adhesion of beverage residue and the like scattered from the cup 17, and it is necessary to sufficiently clean this portion also in terms of sanitary management.

(3) In addition, there is a problem of dirt due to dripping liquid dripping from a syrup nozzle, a paddle of a raw material stirring mechanism, or the like after beverage preparation. That is, when the beverage cooking process is completed, the cup transport mechanism transports the cup from the beverage cooking section toward the product outlet, and at this time, droplets dripping from each nozzle, paddle, etc. immediately after cooking are transferred to the cup transport mechanism, especially Stage 10c, hand 10d of cup holder 10a
And so on, which pollutes a wide area of the cabin.
