【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来のこのような装置としては、例えば特許文献1に記載されるようなものが知られている。この装置は、お茶、コーヒー等の粉末原料を湯水に溶解した飲料をカップ式自動販売機で販売するものであって、図3に示すような飲料ミキシング装置20のミキシングボール本体2の中に、先ず湯を注ぎ始め、少し遅れて粉末原料を入れ、撹拌羽根3を回転させて粉末原料と湯を撹拌、混合して調合した後、この飲料Lを例えば飲料カップ等の販売容器4に注入し、その後、再びミキシングボール本体2に湯を注ぎ、撹拌羽根3を回転させ、ミキシングボール本体2の中に残っている飲料Lを洗い流し、これを販売容器4の中に継ぎ足して注入し、適度の濃度の飲料を調合して販売するものである。尚、図中において5aは粉末原料を投入する投入口、5bは湯水を注入する注入口、2bはミキシングボール内に発生する湯気の排気口、7は撹拌羽根を駆動するモータ、9はミキシングボール本体2の底部から下方に引き出されて飲料Lを販売容器4に導く飲料吐出管を示す。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、このような装置において、最近は顧客要望の多様化により従来の紙カップの他に、さらに大きいサイズの容器でより多くの飲料を販売する必要が生じている。しかし、これに対応するため従来に比べて多い粉末原料と湯を従来のミキシングボール本体内で撹拌、混合させると、ミキシングボール本体からこの撹拌、混合された飲料が溢れ出てしまう。そのため、例えば粉末原料と湯を連続してミキシングボール本体内に供給し、ミキシングボール本体内で撹拌、混合された飲料が所定の液面を超えたとき、これを飲料カップ等の販売容器に排出する飲料排出手段を備える等の対応策が必要となる。ところが、このような飲料排出手段を備えると、販売する飲料の量を容易に多くするとともにミキシングボール本体から飲料が溢れ出ることを防止することができるが、ミキシングボール本体内に洗浄用の湯を注ぐ場合、所定の液面を超える湯が排出されてしまうため、ミキシングボール本体内に洗浄に必要な量の湯を満たすことができない問題が生じる。
【0005】
本発明は、このような問題を解決し、従来に比べより多くの飲料を容易に販売することができるとともに、ミキシングボール本体内を十分に洗浄することができる自動販売機の飲料ミキシング装置を提供することを目的とするものである。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するため、請求項1にかかる発明は、原料投入口と、湯注入口と、粉末原料と湯を撹拌する撹拌羽根と、撹拌羽根を回転駆動するモータと、原料投入口から投入された粉末原料と湯注入口から注入された湯を一時貯留し撹拌羽根で撹拌後に、これらが混合された飲料を下部から流出する本体容器と、本体容器内で所定の液面を超えた飲料を排出する排出手段と、撹拌羽根の回転を正転、逆転方向に制御する回転制御手段と、を備える自動販売機の飲料ミキシング装置において、排出手段は、撹拌羽根が正回転するとき本体容器内の所定の液面を超える飲料を排出し、撹拌羽根が逆回転するとき本体容器内の飲料の排出を停止する。
【0007】
これによれば、攪拌羽根を正回転させて粉末原料と湯を連続してミキシングボール本体内に供給し、ミキシングボール本体内で攪拌、混合された飲料が所定の液面を超えると、これを飲料排出手段により排出して、飲料カップ等の販売容器に注入することができる。また、攪拌羽根を逆回転させてミキシングボール本体内の所定の液面を超える飲料の排出を停止することにより、洗浄に必要な量の湯をミキシングボール本体内の所定の液面を超えて満たすことができる。
請求項2にかかる発明は、請求項1に記載の自動販売機の飲料ミキシング装置において、排出手段は、撹拌羽根を上下方向に貫通してその回転軸線を中心とする円筒状に設けられた穿孔部であって、その内側にスクリュー部を有し、スクリュー部は、撹拌羽根が正回転するときその上端から流入する飲料を上方から下方に送出し、撹拌羽根が逆回転するときその上端から流入する飲料を上方に押し戻すように形成される。
【0008】
これによれば、撹拌羽が正回転するとき、ミキシングボール本体内で攪拌、混合された飲料が穿孔部の上端を超えると、内側にスクリュー部を有する穿孔部によりこれを攪拌羽根の上方から下方に送出し、さらにこれをミキシングボール本体の下部から排出して販売容器に注入することができる。また、攪拌羽根が逆回転するとき、穿孔部の上端から流入する飲料は上方に押戻されるから、ミキシングボール本体内部の洗浄に必要な湯をミキシングボール本体内に穿孔部の上端を超えて満たすことができる。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施形態について図を参照して説明する。尚、従来と同等または同様の構成には同じ記号を付す。
図1は本発明の実施形態の自動販売機の飲料ミキシング装置1を示す構成図である。
図1において、2は粉末原料および湯を一時貯留し、撹拌後に下部から流出するミキシングボール本体(本体容器)、2bはミキシングボール本体内に発生する湯気を排出する排気口、2dはミキシングボール本体内で撹拌、混合された飲料を流出する飲料流出口、3は粉末原料および湯を撹拌する撹拌羽根、4は飲料流出口2dから流出した飲料が注入される飲料カップ等の販売容器、5はミキシングボール本体2の蓋、5aは蓋5に設けられ粉末原料を投入する投入口(原料投入口)、5bは蓋5に設けられた湯の注入口(湯注入口)、6は撹拌羽根3にモータ7の動力を伝達する駆動軸、8は粉末原料を投入するシュータ、9はミキシングボール本体2の底部から下方に引き出され販売容器4に飲料を導く飲料吐出管を示す。
【0010】
ここで、撹拌羽根3はミキシングボール本体2の底部において、その底面2aと僅かな隙間を設けて飲料流出口2dを覆うように配置され、撹拌羽根3を貫通する駆動軸6の下端部はミキシングボール本体2の底部に設けられた軸受部13に支持されている。
図2は本発明の実施形態の撹拌羽根3を示す斜視図である。
図2に示すように、撹拌羽根3はモータ7の動力を伝達する駆動軸6の下部に、その軸心を中心とする略円錐状の円板体として形成されている。そして、その下面には下方に突出し半径方向に延出して形成された遠心羽根3aが設けられ、その中央部には駆動軸6の軸心(撹拌羽根の回転軸線)を中心として上下方向に貫通し円筒状に形成された穿孔部11が設けられている。さらに、穿孔部11の内側には駆動軸6に巻回されたスクリュー部12が形成されている。尚、このスクリュー部12は、駆動軸6の回りに形成された3条の板状螺旋部12aからなり、撹拌羽根3が図のA方向に回転(正回転)するとき、穿孔部11の上端から流入する飲料や湯を上方から下方に送出し、撹拌羽根3が図のB方向に回転(逆回転)するとき、穿孔部11の上端から流入する飲料や湯を上方に押し戻すように形成されている。
【0011】
この飲料ミキシング装置1において、粉末原料と湯を撹拌、混合して飲料Lを調合する場合は、図示しない貯留部に貯留されたコーヒー、砂糖、ミルク等の粉末原料が蓋5の投入口5aからシュータ8を介してミキシングボール本体2に投入されると同時に、図示しない温水タンクから湯が注入口5bを通して注入され、図示しないモータ制御部(回転制御手段)によりモータ7が駆動されて撹拌羽根3が図2のA方向に回転して粉末原料と湯が撹拌、混合される。この場合、撹拌羽根3の下面に形成された遠心羽根3aは、撹拌羽根3とミキシングボール本体2の底面2aとの僅かな隙間に侵入するこの撹拌、混合される飲料Lを撹拌羽根3の周外方向に飛散して戻し、これを飲料流出口2dに到達させないから、飲料Lがミキシングボール本体2の底部に貯留される。
【0012】
ここで、販売容器4に注ぐ飲料を従来に比べて多くするために、粉末原料および湯を連続してミキシングボール本体2に加えると、撹拌羽根3によって撹拌、混合される飲料Lの液面が上昇する。そして、撹拌羽根3の中央部に設けられた穿孔部11の上端を超えて液面が上昇した飲料Lは、穿孔部11内にその上端から流入し、スクリュー部12によって下方に送出され、撹拌羽根3の下方のミキシングボール本体2の底部に到達し、さらにミキシングボール本体2の底部に設けられた飲料流出口2dから飲料吐出管9に流出して販売容器4に注入される。このように、販売する飲料を従来に比べて多くする場合に、粉末原料および湯を連続してミキシングボール本体2に加えても、穿孔部11の上端を超えた飲料Lは穿孔部11を通過して飲料吐出管9に流出し、販売容器4に吐出されるから、ミキシングボール本体2から飲料Lが溢れ出すことがない。また、粉末原料と湯を必要に応じて加えることができるから、販売容器4に吐出される飲料の量を容易に増やすことができる。
【0013】
そして所定量の飲料を調合すると、撹拌羽根3の回転が停止し、ミキシングボール本体2の底部に溜まっていた飲料Lが、撹拌羽根3とミキシングボール本体2の底面2aの隙間を通過して飲料吐出管9に流出し販売容器4に導かれる。
その後、温水タンクからミキシングボール本体2に再び湯が注入され、モータ制御部によりモータ7が逆回転方向に駆動されて撹拌羽根3が図2のB方向に回転し、ミキシングボール本体2内の洗浄が行われる。ここで、ミキシングボール本体2に注入される湯の液面が上昇して撹拌羽根3の中央部に設けられた穿孔部11の上端を超え、湯がその上端から穿孔部11に流入すると、穿孔部11の内側には撹拌羽根3がB方向に回転するとき上端から流入する湯を上方に押し戻すように形成されたスクリュー部12が設けられているので、穿孔部11内に流入した湯は上方に押し戻される。すなわち、ミキシングボール本体2内の湯は、穿孔部11を通過して底部の飲料流出口2dに到達しないから、ミキシングボール本体2から流出しない。したがって、ミキシングボール本体2内部の洗浄に必要な湯をミキシングボール本体2内に穿孔部11の上端を超えて満たすことができる。これにより、ミキシングボール本体2内を十分に洗浄して、ミキシングボール本体2内に残っている飲料Lを洗い流すことができる。そして、ミキシングボール本体2内を洗浄すると、撹拌羽根3が停止し、ミキシングボール本体2内に貯留された湯が、撹拌羽根3とミキシングボール本体2の底面2aの隙間および穿孔部11を通過して飲料流出口2dから飲料吐出管9に流出して販売容器4の中に継ぎ足され、最終的に適度の濃度に調合された所定量の飲料が顧客に販売される。
【0014】
このように本実施の形態においては、ミキシングボール本体2から飲料が溢れ出ることを防止して販売容器4に吐出する飲料を従来に比べて多くすることができるとともに、ミキシングボール本体2内に洗浄に必要な量の湯を満たしてミキシングボール本体2内を十分に洗浄することができる。
また、本発明の実施形態においては、撹拌羽根3が正回転するときミキシングボール本体2内の所定の液面を超える飲料を排出し、撹拌羽根3が逆回転するときミキシングボール本体2内の飲料の排出を停止する排出手段を、円筒状の穿孔部11の内側にスクリュー部12を形成して簡単に構成することにより、安価で品質の良い飲料ミキシング装置を提供することができる。
【0015】
なお、上述の実施の形態において、排出手段を円筒状の穿孔部11の内側にスクリュー部12を形成して構成したが、本発明の排出手段の構成はこれに限らず、本発明の趣旨を包含する範囲で応用変更が可能である。
【0016】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように請求項1に係る発明によれば、攪拌羽根を正回転させて粉末原料と湯を連続してミキシングボール本体内に供給し、ミキシングボール本体内で攪拌、混合された飲料が所定の液面を超えると、これを飲料排出手段により排出して、飲料カップ等の販売容器に注入することができる。また、攪拌羽根を逆回転させてミキシングボール本体内の飲料の排出を停止することにより、洗浄に必要な量の湯をミキシングボール本体内の所定の液面を超えて満たすことができる。したがって、これにより販売容器に吐出する飲料を従来に比べて多くする場合にミキシングボール本体から飲料が溢れ出ることを防止することができるとともに、ミキシングボール本体内に洗浄に必要な量の湯を満たしてミキシングボール本体内を十分に洗浄することができる。
【0017】
請求項2に係る発明によれば、撹拌羽が正回転するとき、ミキシングボール本体内で攪拌、混合された飲料が穿孔部の上端を超えると、内側にスクリュー部を有する穿孔部によりこれを攪拌羽根の上方から下方に送出し、さらにこれをミキシングボール本体の下部から排出して販売容器に注入することができる。また、攪拌羽根が逆回転するとき、穿孔部の上端から流入する飲料は上方に押戻されるから、ミキシングボール本体内部の洗浄に必要な湯をミキシングボール本体内に穿孔部の上端を超えて満たすことができる。したがって、これにより撹拌羽根が正回転するときミキシングボール本体内の所定の液面を超える飲料を排出し、撹拌羽根が逆回転するときミキシングボール本体内の飲料の排出を停止する排出手段を、簡単に構成することができて、安価で品質の良い飲料ミキシング装置を提供することができる。

Then, the beverage L flows out to the beverage discharge pipe 9 and is discharged to the sales container 4, so that the beverage L does not overflow from the mixing ball body 2. Further, since the powdered raw material and the hot water can be added as needed, the amount of the beverage discharged to the sales container 4 can be easily increased.
[0013]
When a predetermined amount of beverage is dispensed, the rotation of the stirring blade 3 is stopped, and the beverage L accumulated at the bottom of the mixing ball body 2 passes through the gap between the stirring blade 3 and the bottom surface 2a of the mixing ball body 2 and drinks. It flows out to the discharge pipe 9 and is led to the sales container 4.
Thereafter, hot water is again poured into the mixing ball body 2 from the hot water tank, and the motor 7 is driven in the reverse rotation direction by the motor control unit, so that the stirring blade 3 rotates in the direction B in FIG. Is performed. Here, when the liquid level of the hot water injected into the mixing ball body 2 rises and exceeds the upper end of the perforated portion 11 provided at the center of the stirring blade 3, and when the hot water flows into the perforated portion 11 from the upper end, the perforation is performed. The screw portion 12 is provided inside the portion 11 so as to push back the hot water flowing from the upper end when the stirring blade 3 rotates in the direction B, so that the hot water flowing into the perforated portion 11 is upward. Is pushed back to. In other words, the hot water in the mixing ball main body 2 does not reach the beverage outlet 2d at the bottom portion after passing through the perforated portion 11, and does not flow out of the mixing ball main body 2.
