Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that a person is required to add powder and stir without fail, when the person wants to drink soup or coffee since the major purpose of a drinking water machine in a prior art is to supply safe and good drinking water, and therefor the person cannot easily enjoy a drink other than water. <P>SOLUTION: The small-sized condensed drink-diluting device capable of being easily built in the drinking water machine has been developed, and built in the drinking water machine. A substrate controlling a necessary function has been also built in. The drinking machine houses a bag housing the condensed drink, a mechanism of attaching the bag and sucking out a raw material, a mechanism of mixing the raw material and hot water or cool water and the like. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Description

本発明は家庭用、および業務用飲水機に関するものである。 The present invention relates to household and commercial drinking machines.

飲水機は近年先進国において、健康増進などのため水の重要性が認識され、ミネラルウォーターや蒸留水などの安全な飲料水を、簡単に供給する手段として注目されている機器であり、さらなる利便性の向上が求められている。 In recent years, drinking water machines have been gaining attention as a means of easily supplying safe drinking water, such as mineral water and distilled water, in developed countries. There is a need for improvement in performance.

従来飲水機は安全、おいしい飲料水の供給、および熱水、冷水の供給が主な用途であった。そのため、たとえば粉末スープやコーヒーを飲む場合は別途パウダーなどを入れる必要があった。また、その後には必ず撹拌する必要があり、水以外については簡単に飲めるわけではなかった。 Conventional drinking water machines have been mainly used for safe and delicious drinking water supply, and hot and cold water supply. Therefore, for example, when drinking powder soup or coffee, it is necessary to add powder. In addition, it was necessary to stir after that, and it was not easy to drink anything other than water.

そこで、飲水機の筐体内に容易に組み込める、小型の濃縮飲料希釈装置を開発し、飲水機に組み込んだ。また、必要な機能を制御する基板も内蔵した。構造的には濃縮飲料を収納するバッグ、バッグを取り付け原料を供給する機構、原料とお湯、または冷水と混ぜ合わせる機構などが組み込まれている。給湯、給水は飲水機のものを利用できるので、全体の構造は簡単になった。 Therefore, we developed a small concentrated beverage diluting device that can be easily installed in the case of the drinking water machine and built it into the drinking water machine. It also has a built-in board that controls the necessary functions. Structurally, a bag for storing concentrated beverages, a mechanism for attaching a bag to supply raw materials, a mechanism for mixing raw materials and hot water, or cold water are incorporated. Since the hot water supply and water supply can be used from the drinking water machine, the overall structure has been simplified.

その結果、簡単にスープやコーヒーなどの濃縮飲料も楽しめるようになった。水の供給も一度で済み、原料の装着のみで、いつでも飲み物を供給できるようになった。また、５倍程度の濃縮飲料を使えば、暖かい飲料の場合、混ぜ合わせた後の飲料の温度は、７０度程度の適温になり、すぐに飲むことができる。供給装置には逆止機能があり、原料には空気などが逆流せず衛生面でも万全である。原料には粉末、液体などいろいろなものを利用できる。 As a result, it became easy to enjoy concentrated drinks such as soup and coffee. You only have to supply the water once, and you can supply drinks at any time just by installing the ingredients. In addition, if a concentrated beverage of about 5 times is used, in the case of a warm beverage, the temperature of the beverage after mixing becomes an appropriate temperature of about 70 degrees and can be drunk immediately. The feeding device has a non-return function, and air does not flow back into the raw material, so it is perfect for hygiene. Various materials such as powder and liquid can be used as raw materials.

水関連の機器については、健康上の理由などからミネラルウォーターなどの需要がのびており、今後とも成長が見込める。また、コーヒーなどの嗜好性飲料とともに、スープなどの飲料が同様に健康面で顧客の需要が増える傾向がある。ボタン一つでスープが供給される機能は、新しい顧客の開拓に有力な訴求力を持つものと思われる。 With regard to water-related equipment, demand for mineral water is growing for health reasons, and growth is expected in the future. Moreover, along with palatability drinks such as coffee, drinks such as soup tend to increase customer demand for health as well. The ability to supply soup at the touch of a button is considered to have a strong appeal in developing new customers.
