Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a soup dispensing/supplying apparatus which has no ladle support mechanism and yet is capable of supplying soup from a pot to a vessel-like dish without spilling the soup. <P>SOLUTION: This problem can be solved in such a manner that: the outer periphery of the scooping side of a ladle slides over the inner bottom face of the pot to cause the ladle to scoop the soup in the pot when the ladle moves toward the front of the pot, and the ladle tilts toward the vessel-like dish due to resulting balance in weight to supply the soup to the vessel-like dish; a guide projection 22 is so disposed on the inner wall of the pot as to be separated from an opening top face at the front side of the pot; the guide projection 22 guides the ladle toward the upside of the opening top face at the front side of the pot and causes the guided ladle to turn to tilt toward the vessel-like dish; and the ladle turning and tilting toward the vessel-like dish forms a gap G2 between the outer peripheral bottom face of the ladle and the opening upper end face. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

The tip shapes (top surface shapes) of the two arc-shaped ribs 22A and 22B are arc-shaped in this embodiment, but may be triangular or flat.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, a notch recess 17 </ b> A is formed on the opening upper end surface on the front side of the pan 17. The width dimension L1 of the notch recess 17A is set larger than the left-right width dimension L3 of the ladle 15. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the guide protrusion 22 is separated from the notch recess 17 </ b> A on the opening upper end surface on the front side of the pan 17, that is, on the side surface of the guide protrusion 22 and the opening upper end surface of the pan 17. It is provided integrally with the inner wall of the pan 17 so that a gap G1 is formed between the cutout recess 17A. The depth dimension L2 of the notch recess 17A and the height dimension H from the notch recess 17A to the tip of the guide protrusion 22 are such that the ladle 15 faces the container tableware 7 at the tip of the guide protrusion 22. The gap G2 that prevents the soups adhering to the bottom surface of the inclined ladle 15 from adhering to the cutout recess 17A on the upper end surface of the pan 17 is It is set so as to be formed between the bottom surface and the notch recess 17 </ b> A on the opening upper end surface of the pan 17. In the present embodiment, the leading end portion (top surface portion) of the guide protrusion 22 protrudes upward from the upper end surface of the opening of the pan 17 in the portion where the notch recess 17A is not present. Note that the size of the gap G2 is larger than the diameter of the soup balls made from the soup liquid that travels along the outer peripheral bottom surface of the ladle 15.

  The shape of the ladle 15 on the side of the scooping mouth 20A, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, (a), (b), (c), and (d), is tapered toward the tip, and the scooping mouth 20A. The cross-sectional shape is such that the central portion of the scooping mouth 20A is lowest. As shown in FIG. 7, in the scooping mouth 20A of the ladle 15, the depth dimension T1 of the scooping mouth 20A of the ladle 15 is set larger than the thickness dimension T2 of the leading edge of the scooping mouth 20A of the ladle 15. At the same time, the thickness of the lower surface portion of the scooping mouth 20A is changed so as to gradually incline from the back of the scooping mouth 20A toward the most distal portion of the scooping mouth 20A.

  As shown in FIGS. 6, 7, and 9, the pair of attachment pieces 20 </ b> B provided in the ladle 15 is provided with a fitting hole 20 </ b> D in which the attachment shaft 19 of the rotating arm 14 is fitted. As shown in FIG. 9, an engagement pin 19 </ b> A is provided on the mounting shaft 19 of the rotating arm 14. One fitting hole 20D of the fitting holes 20D provided in the pair of attachment pieces 20B is provided with a fitting notch 20E into which the engaging pin 19A can be fitted, as shown in FIG.

  In order to attach the ladle 15 to the turning arm 14, first, the engaging pin 19A of the attaching shaft 19 of the turning arm 14 is aligned with the fitting notch 20E of the fitting hole 20D of the attaching piece 20B. As shown in FIG. 4, the mounting shaft 19 is inserted into the fitting hole 20D of the mounting piece 20B. Thereafter, if the ladle 15 is rotated about the mounting shaft 19, the positions of the engaging pin 19 </ b> A and the fitting notch 20 </ b> E are shifted, so that the ladle 15 is rotatable with respect to the rotating arm 14. Attached to. Incidentally, FIG. 11 shows a state in which the ladle 15 is rotated about 180 degrees around the mounting shaft 19.

  The distance dimension S1 (see FIG. 2) from the horizontal piece 14A to the mounting shaft 19 of the rotating arm 14 and the distance dimension S2 (see FIG. 7) from the center of the fitting hole 20D of the mounting piece 20B to the tip of the scooping opening 20A are as follows. The ladle 15 attached to the pivot arm 14 so as to be pivotable by weight balance accommodates the soup while sliding the outer bottom surface of the ladle 15 on the side of the scoop 20A on the inner wall surface of the pan 17. It is set so as to be able to make a circular motion in the container 6.

  When the rotating arm 14 is rotated toward the front side of the pan 17 (in the direction toward the supply port 6A), the soup in the pan 17 is scooped out by the ladle 15. Thereafter, when the rotating arm 14 is further rotated toward the front side of the pan 17, the ladle 15 is guided by the arc surfaces of the two arc-shaped ribs 22 </ b> A and 22 </ b> B constituting the guide protrusion 22. When the scooping mouth 20A side of the ladle 15 reaches above the tips of the arc-shaped ribs 22A and 22B, the ladle 15 is inclined toward the container tableware 7 with the tips of the arc-shaped ribs 22A and 22B supported by the weight balance. The ladle 15 protrudes outward from the supply port 6A. Therefore, the soup in the pan 15 scooped up by the ladle 15 flows down toward the container-like tableware 7. And by maintaining the state inclined toward the container-shaped tableware 7 of the ladle 15 for a certain period of time, even soups such as corn soup with high viscosity can flow down toward the container-shaped tableware 7.

  After the soup in the pan 17 scooped by the ladle 15 is supplied into the container-like tableware 7, when the rotary arm 14 is rotated in a direction in which the ladle 15 is separated from the supply port 6A, the arc-shaped ribs 22A and 22B With the tip as a support, the ladle 15 is retracted into the supply port 6A while being inverted due to the weight balance. Thereafter, the rotating arm 14 is further rotated away from the supply port 6A, and the ladle 15 is submerged in the soup in the pan 17 so as to let the air in the ladle 15 escape. While the outer peripheral bottom surface on the side is slid again on the inner wall surface of the pan 17, it is rotated toward the back side of the pan 17. Then, if the rotation arm 14 is rotated toward the front side of the pan 17 (the rotation arm 14 is directed toward the supply port 6A) and the ladle 15 is positioned at the approximate center in the pan 15, By stopping the rotation operation of the rotation arm 14, one subdivision supply operation (subdivision extraction operation) is terminated.

  In order to prevent the soups in the pan 17 from scorching against the inner wall surface of the pan 17, the rotating arm 14 is rotated in the range of a predetermined rotation angle so that the rotating arm 14 is made soups. By rotating back and forth in the container 6 for back and forth, the ladle 15 may move in a circular arc within the range of a predetermined rotation angle in the container 6 for soup. The arc movement of the ladle 15 stirs the soup that is sinking to the bottom of the inner wall surface of the pan 17, so that the soup can be prevented from being burnt.

  The rotation angle adjustment and forward / reverse rotation of the ladle 15 are performed by a rotation angle control mechanism 23 installed on the operating shaft 13. As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the rotation angle control mechanism 23 includes a rotating disk 24, a cylindrical shaft body 24A for attaching the rotating disk 24 to the operating shaft 13, and the cylindrical shaft body 24A. A rotating disk screw 25 for fixing the rotating disk 24 to the operating shaft 13, three front position light sensors 26, a center position light sensor 26A and a back position light sensor 26B arranged on the outer periphery of the rotation disk 24, and An optical sensor screw 28 is provided for fixing the optical sensors 26, 26 A, and 26 B to a support plate 27 that is fixed to a predetermined location in the control box 5. The three front position light sensors 26, the center position light sensor 26A, and the back position light sensor 26B are respectively formed of a light emitting part D, a light receiving part Z, and a rotating disk 24, as shown in FIG. As a structure to be arranged.

  By detecting the slit 24B provided at the peripheral edge of the rotating disk 24 by the three front position light sensors 26, the center position light sensor 26A and the back position light sensor 26B, the rotation angle of the ladle 15 and Forward / reverse is controlled. That is, when the operating shaft 13 and the rotating disk 24 are rotated forward by the normal rotation of the electric motor 12 and the front position optical sensor 26 detects the slit 24B, the normal rotation of the electric motor 12 is stopped and the arrow of the rotating arm 14 is moved. Since the rotation in the P1 direction is stopped, the state in which the ladle 15 is rotated by the weight balance and inclined toward the container tableware 7 is maintained.

  Then, by stopping the rotation of the electric motor 12 for a predetermined time, if the state in which the ladle 15 is inclined toward the container-like tableware 7 is maintained for a predetermined time, the electric motor 12 is reversely rotated to operate the operating shaft 13 and the rotating disk. When the center position optical sensor 26A detects the slit 24B by reversing the rotation 24, the reverse rotation of the electric motor 12 is stopped and the rotation of the rotation arm 14 in the direction of the arrow Q1 is stopped. The arm 14 and the ladle 15 are stopped at the approximate center in the pan 17.

  Further, when the motor 12 is reversely rotated to reverse the operating shaft 13 and the rotating disk 24, the slit 24B is detected by the center position light sensor 26A if the center position light sensor 26A is not energized. Without this, the operating shaft 13 and the rotating disk 24 are further reversed, and the slit 24B is detected by the back surface position optical sensor 26B. When the back position light sensor 26B detects the slit 24B, the rotation of the rotating arm 14 is performed because the rotation of the electric motor 12 is switched from reverse rotation to normal rotation and the operation shaft 13 and the rotating disk 24 are rotated forward. Since the direction is switched from the arrow Q1 direction to the arrow P1 direction, the rotating arm 14 and the ladle 15 are rotated toward the approximate center in the pan 17.

  Further, when the operating shaft 13 and the rotating disk 24 are rotated forward and the slit 24B is detected by the center position optical sensor 26A, the forward rotation of the motor 12 is stopped and the rotating arm 14 moves in the direction of the arrow P1. Therefore, the rotation arm 14 and the ladle 15 can be stopped at the approximate center in the pan 17.

  The inclination angle of the ladle 15 in a state where the ladle 15 is inclined toward the container-shaped tableware 7 is obtained by moving the arrangement position of the front position photosensor 26 on the rotating disk 24 to the left and right as indicated by the arrow N in FIG. It can be adjusted by changing. Further, the rotational position of the ladle 15 toward the back side in the pan 17 can be adjusted by moving the rear position optical sensor 26B on the rotating disc 24 by moving it left and right. Further, the center stop position in the pan 17 of the ladle 15 can be adjusted by moving the left and right positions of the center position optical sensor 26A on the rotating disk 24 to change them.

  The door 9 is opened by the door opening / closing means 10 before the scooping port 20A of the ladle 15 protrudes from the supply port 6A, and is closed after the scooping port 20A of the ladle 15 is retracted into the supply port 6A. . In the state where the door 9 is closed, the size of the door 9 is set so that the notch recess 17A formed on the upper end surface of the opening on the front side of the pan 17 is reliably covered on the lower end side of the door 9. Has been.

  An operation panel and a subdivision operation start button (not shown) are provided on the front face of the control box 5. The operation panel includes a subdivision supply count display unit for displaying the number of times of subdivision supply of soup by the supply means 8, a correction button for adjusting the subdivision supply count displayed in the subdivision supply count display unit, and a subdivision supply count display unit. A reset button, a power switch, an operation display unit, an error display unit, and the like for disposing the number of times of subdivision supply displayed on the screen are arranged. In the control box 5, along with the electric motor 12, a control board, an earth leakage breaker, a maintenance operation panel, and the like are arranged.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the front panel 4 has a vertically long covering body 4A covering the front of the supply port 6A, and a gap G3 below the covering body 4A so as to extend substantially to the front bottom of the main body case 2. In addition, a vertically long mounting table 4B for mounting the container-like tableware 7 is integrally provided. At the edge of the front opening of the front panel 4 or the main body case 2, a closed state holding magnet (not shown) is provided to hold the state when the front panel 4 is closed. On the upper surface of the cover 4A of the front panel 4, a circular transparent window 4C is provided. The top panel 3 has a plurality of pressing means for pressing the outer peripheral end of the lid 18 against the outer peripheral end of the pan 17 when the upper panel 3 is closed with the soup container 6 in the main body case 2. (Not shown) is provided.

  On the mounting table 4B, there is provided a rotary door 4D that rotates about a vertical door rotary shaft. When the revolving door 4D is manually rotated in one direction by holding a handle (not shown) provided on the revolving door 4D, the revolving door 4D protrudes outward from the mounting table 4B, and is manually moved by holding the handle. When it is rotated in the direction, it is stored on the mounting table 4B and closed. The revolving door 4D prevents dust from entering the container-like tableware 7 on the mounting table 4B from outside, and the soups supplied to the container-like tableware 7 on the mounting table 4B (see FIG. 4). Even if it scatters, it has a function to prevent the soup from being scattered in front of the front panel 4 and soiling the table on which the soup subdivision supply device 1 is placed. Further, the rotary door 4D is made of a transparent member and has a function of confirming the supply status of soups to the container-like tableware 7 on the mounting table 4B even in a closed state.

  On the mounting table 4B, as shown in FIG. 1, the tableware tray 4E for mounting the container-shaped tableware 7 is installed so that extraction is possible. In the central part of the tableware tray 4E, there is provided a flow-down port 4F through which the soup spilled from the container-shaped tableware 7 flows down. A recovery container 29 is provided below the flow-down port 4F. The collection container 29 can be removed from the mounting table 4B by opening the front panel 4. As shown in FIG. 1, the inclined tray 30 is detachably installed on the tableware tray 4E. The container-shaped tableware 7 is made up of the soup supplied from the ladle 15 by the inclined tray 30 in which the container-shaped tableware 7 is installed on the tableware tray 4E with the container-shaped tableware 7 tilted toward the pan 17 side. When the soup collides with the inner surface of the container table 7, it is installed on the mounting table 4 </ b> B provided outside the pan 17 so that the soup that has collided rebounds toward the inner bottom of the container-shaped tableware 7 (indicated by the arrow X <b> 1 in FIG. 1).

  The soup supply operation (subdivision extraction operation) by the ladle 15 of the soup subdivision supply device 1 of the above embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  First, as shown in FIG. 14, when the rotating arm 14 is rotated in the direction (arrow P1 direction) toward the supply port 6A from the state where the rotating arm 14 and the ladle 15 are positioned at the center of the pan 17, the ladle The rotating arm 14 and the ladle 15 are rotated while the outer peripheral bottom surface side of the 15 scooping mouth 20A is in sliding contact with the inner wall surface of the pan 17, so that the state shown in FIG. Is crawled. In this case, the soup liquid passes through the liquid passage partition 21 and is stored in the cylindrical main body case 20 of the ladle 15, and the tool is placed on the scooping mouth 20A portion of the cylindrical main body case 20, The ladle 15 is guided by the guide protrusion 22 and is guided toward the upper end of the opening upper end surface on the front side of the pan 17. In this case, since the ladle 15 can be rotated in the direction of the arrow R2 with the mounting shaft 19 of the rotating arm 14 as the rotation axis, the scooping opening 20A of the ladle 15 forms two arcuate shapes constituting the guide protrusion 22. The scooping mouth 20A of the ladle 15 is smoothly guided toward the upper end surface of the opening on the front side of the pan 17 without being caught by the arc surfaces of the ribs 22A and 22B.

  Thereafter, when the rotating arm 14 is further rotated in the direction toward the supply port 6A (in the direction of the arrow P1), as shown in FIG. 16, the scooping port 20A side of the ladle 15 is guided by the guide protrusion 22 and guided. The radle 15 reaches the upper side of the tip of the projecting body 22 and the mounting bottom 19 of the radle 15 is rubbed against the outer peripheral bottom surface of the radle 15 at the tip of the guide projecting body 22 in the direction of the arrow R1 due to the weight balance. And the side 20A of the ladle 15 protrudes outward from the supply port 6A. At this time, soups adhering to the bottom surface of the ladle 15 flow down into the pan 17 by rubbing the bottom surface of the ladle 15 at the tip of the guide protrusion 22. In this case, since the soups rubbed down at the tip of the guide protrusion 22 have a gap G1 formed between the notch recess 17A on the upper end surface of the opening of the pan 17 and the side surface of the guide protrusion 22, Without sticking to the opening upper end surface of the pan 17, it travels through the guide protrusion 22 and reliably flows down into the pan 17. It should be noted that the door 9 covering the supply port 6A has a door before the scooping port 20A of the ladle 15 protrudes outward from the supply port 6A so that the scooping port 20A of the ladle 15 does not contact the door 9. It is opened by the opening / closing means 10.

  Thereafter, when the rotating arm 14 is further rotated in the direction toward the supply port 6A (the direction of the arrow P1), as shown in FIG. 17, the ladle 15 and its ladle 15 are supported with the tip of the guide protrusion 22 as a support. Due to the weight balance of the soup that has been squeezed, the ladle 15 further rotates (in the direction of arrow R1) about the mounting shaft 19 of the rotating arm 14 so that the scooping port 20A side of the ladle 15 moves out of the supply port 6A. At the same time as it protrudes greatly, the ladle 15 is inclined. As a result, the soup in the soup container 6 squeezed by the ladle 15 is guided to the center of the top of the scooping mouth 20 </ b> A in the inclined ladle 15 and smoothly supplied to the container-like tableware 7. Also in this case, the soups adhering to the outer peripheral bottom surface of the ladle 15 are caused to flow down into the pan 17 by rubbing the outer peripheral bottom surface of the ladle 15 at the tip of the guide protrusion 22 and the outer periphery of the ladle 15. Even when the soup that has adhered to the bottom surface reaches the outer peripheral tip side of the scooping mouth 20A, there is a gap G2 between the outer peripheral bottom surface of the ladle 15 and the cutout concave portion 17A on the upper end surface of the pan 17. Since it is held, the soup that has been transmitted to the outer peripheral tip side of the scooping mouth 20 </ b> A adheres to the notch recess 17 </ b> A of the upper end surface of the pan 17 and does not flow down along the outer periphery of the pan 17. It is supplied into the container-like tableware 7 from the tip of the mouth 20A. When the ladle 15 rotates toward the container-like tableware 7, the rotation angle control mechanism 23 stops the rotation of the electric motor 12 so that the inclined state of the ladle 15 is maintained for a predetermined time.

  When the supply of the soup to the container-shaped tableware 7 is completed, when the electric motor 12 is reversed and the rotating arm 14 is rotated away from the supply port 6A (in the direction of the arrow Q1), the ladle 15 is attached. The ladle 15 is retracted into the supply port 6A while rotating in the direction of the arrow R2 due to the weight balance around the shaft 19, and the state shown in FIG. 18 is obtained.

  Thereafter, when the rotating arm 14 is further rotated in the direction away from the supply port 6A (in the direction of the arrow Q1), the scooping opening of the ladle 15 is caused by the air in the cylindrical main body case of the ladle 15, as shown in FIG. 20A moves away from the inner wall surface of the pan 17, and the ladle 15 floats in the soup of the container-like tableware 7.

  Thereafter, the rotating arm 14 is further rotated in the direction away from the supply port 6A (the direction of the arrow Q1), the air in the cylindrical main body case of the ladle 15 escapes and the cylindrical main body case is filled with the soup liquid. Until then, as shown in FIG. 20, the state where the ladle 15 is floated in the soup of the container-like tableware 7 is maintained.

  Thereafter, when the rotating arm 14 is further rotated in the direction away from the supply port 6A (in the direction of the arrow Q1) and the air in the cylindrical main body case escapes, the ladle 15 sinks into the soup and is shown in FIG. As described above, the ladle 15 is rotated in the direction of the arrow R1 due to the weight balance about the mounting shaft 19 and the scooping opening 20A of the ladle 15 is in sliding contact with the inner wall surface of the pan 17, while the rotating arm 14 and the ladle 15 Will be in the state of being located in the center of the pan 17.

Thereafter, when the rotating arm 14 is further rotated in the direction away from the supply port 6A (in the direction of the arrow Q1), the rotating arm 14 and the ladle 15 are positioned on the back side in the pan 17, as shown in FIG. It becomes a state. Also in this case, the outer peripheral bottom surface of the scooping opening 20 </ b> A of the ladle 15 is in sliding contact with the inner wall surface of the pan 17. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 21, a gap G4 of about 10 mm to 15 mm is held between the rear outer peripheral bottom surface of the ladle 15 and the inner wall surface of the pan 17. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 22, the ingredients in the soups are not raked to the back side of the pan 17 by the ladle 15 even if the ladle 15 rotates to the back side of the pan 17. Since it escapes to the side or the like, the ladle 15 does not concentrate and scrape in a large amount on the back side of the pan 17.

  Thereafter, by rotating the electric motor 12 in the normal direction, the rotating arm 14 is rotated again in the direction toward the supply port 6A (arrow P1 direction), and the rotating arm 14 and the ladle 15 are as shown in FIG. When the soup is placed in the approximate center in the pan 17, the soup supply operation (partial extraction operation) is completed.

  In the above-described soup supply operation (subdivision extraction operation), the state of FIG. 14 is shifted to the state of FIG. 15, but the present invention is not limited to this. After changing from the state of FIG. 14 to the state of FIG. 22, the state of FIG. 15 may be shifted. Also, the soups at the bottom of the pan 17 can be moved back and forth several times during the time period when the soup supply operation (divided extraction operation) is not performed, by moving the ladle 15 positioned substantially in the center of the pan 17 back and forth. You may make it prevent burning.

  As described above, according to the soup subdivision supply device 1 of the above-described embodiment, the tip of the guide protrusion 22 provided on the inner wall surface of the pan is placed with the gap G1 inside the opening upper end surface of the pan 17. With the weight balance of the ladle 15 and the soup squeezed by the ladle 15 as a support, the ladle 15 rotates about the mounting shaft 19 of the rotating arm 14 so that the scooping port 20A side of the ladle 15 is connected to the supply port Since the ladle 15 is inclined at the same time as it protrudes greatly from 6A, the soup in the pan can be smoothly supplied to the container-like tableware 7 installed outside the pan 17 without the ladle receiving mechanism. it can.

  Moreover, according to the soup subdivision supply device 1 of the above-described embodiment, the ladle is provided at the tip of the guide protrusion 22 provided on the inner wall surface of the pan 17 with the gap G1 inside the opening upper end surface of the pan 17. Since the ladle 15 inclines toward the container-shaped tableware 7 while the outer peripheral bottom surface of 15 is rubbed, soups attached to the outer peripheral bottom surface of the ladle 15 flow down into the pan 17 along the surface of the guide protrusion 22. That is, the soup that has flowed down does not flow out from the opening upper end surface on the front side of the pan 17 to the outer wall side of the pan 17, and the outer peripheral bottom surface of the ladle 15 inclined toward the container-shaped tableware 7 and the opening of the pan 17. Since the gap G <b> 2 is held between the upper end surface, the soup that has been transmitted to the outer peripheral front end side of the scooping mouth 20 </ b> A of the ladle 15 adheres to the open upper end surface of the pan 17 and flows out to the outer wall side of the pan 17. Never It can prevent the soup on the front side of the outer wall and the mounting table 4B pot 17 look good attached deteriorates.

  Moreover, in the soup subdivision supply device 1 of the above-described embodiment, a ladle receiving mechanism is not required, and it is not necessary to form a bulging step for installing the ladle receiving mechanism on the front side of the pan. Generation | occurrence | production of the malfunction that a tool will accumulate on the front side in a pan at the time of supply operation | movement (partial extraction operation | movement) can be prevented.

  Further, according to the soup subdivision supply device 1 of the above-described embodiment, the notch recess 17A is formed in the upper open end surface of the pan 17, and the width dimension L1 of the notch recess 17A is set to the left and right width of the ladle 15. The guide protrusion 22 is set to be larger than the dimension L3 and the tip of the guide protrusion 22 is positioned above the opening upper end surface on the front side of the pan 17, and the depth L2 of the notch recess 17A is set by the ladle 15 by the container-like tableware 7 Since the outer peripheral bottom surface of the ladle 15 is set so as not to come into contact with the notch recess 17A when it is inclined toward the top, the outer peripheral bottom surface of the inclined ladle 15 does not contact the notch recess 17A. The soups adhering to the bottom of the outer periphery of the ladle 15 do not flow out from the cutout recess 17A to the outer wall side of the pan 17 and rotate at the tip of the guide protrusion 22 It is easy to set a large inclination angle of the ladle 15 and the scooping opening 20A of the ladle 15 can be brought close to the container-shaped tableware 7, so that the soup can be reliably supplied into the container-shaped tableware 7. it can.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, when the rotating arm 14 is rotated in the direction away from the supply port 6A (the direction of the arrow Q1), the ladle 15 is floated in the soup of the container-like tableware 7 Thus, the ladle 15 swings around the mounting shaft 19 and the soup in the container-shaped tableware 7 is stirred by the air escaping from the inside of the cylindrical main body case of the ladle 15. 15 prevents a large amount of soup from being collected on the back side of the pan 17.

  Further, according to the soup subdivision supply device 1 of the above-described embodiment, the shape of the ladle 15 on the side of the scooping mouth 20A is tapered toward the center of the tip, and the cross-sectional shape of the scooping mouth 20A is the scooping mouth 20A. Because the soup is collected at the center of the tip of the scooping mouth 20 </ b> A, the soup can be smoothly supplied toward the container-shaped tableware 7.

  Furthermore, according to the soup subdivision supply device 1 of the above-described embodiment, when the soup supplied from the ladle 15 collides with the inner side surface of the container-like tableware 7 in the container-like tableware 7, the collided soup becomes container-like. Since it is installed on the mounting table 4B provided outside the pan 17 so as to bounce back toward the inner bottom of the tableware 7, it is possible to prevent the soup supplied from the ladle 15 from scattering outside the container-shaped tableware 7. it can.

  In the soup subdivision supply device 1 of the above-described embodiment, the ladle 15 can be detached into the cylindrical main body case 20 having the scooping opening 20A for scooping up the soup and the scooping opening 20A of the cylindrical main body case 20. An attachment piece 20B is provided on the rear outer peripheral wall of the cylindrical main body case 20 and includes an attached liquid passage partition 21 for attaching the cylindrical main body case 20 to the rotating arm 14 in a rotatable manner. Therefore, the rotational moment of the ladle 15 can be set large, and the rotation of the ladle 15 on the guide protrusion 22 can be performed smoothly. That is, the rotational moment of the ladle 15 can be set large by separating the center of gravity of the entire ladle 15 in a state where the soup is squeezed from the mounting shaft 19 which is the rotation center of the ladle 15 as much as possible. Can be smoothly rotated.

  Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
