次に、図5に示すように、加熱手段を制御する通電制御手段としての電気回路46には、検出スイッチ31、抽出スイッチ47、安全装置である温度ヒューズ46A、電源48、もう一つの安全装置としてヒータ49の通電を制御してヒータ49の温度を一定に保つサーモスタット46B、加熱手段としてのヒータ49が直列に接続されている。尚、抽出スイッチ47は、抽出機本体2の表面に配置されている。そして、電気回路46は、温度ヒューズ46A及びサーモスタット46Bが電気回路46の異常加熱を検知すると、直ちにヒータ49への通電を強制的に停止するように構成されている。   Next, as shown in FIG. 5, an electric circuit 46 as an energization control means for controlling the heating means includes a detection switch 31, an extraction switch 47, a temperature fuse 46A as a safety device, a power supply 48, and another safety device. A thermostat 46B for controlling energization of the heater 49 to keep the temperature of the heater 49 constant, and a heater 49 as a heating means are connected in series. The extraction switch 47 is arranged on the surface of the extractor body 2. The electric circuit 46 is configured to forcibly stop energization of the heater 49 as soon as the temperature fuse 46A and the thermostat 46B detect abnormal heating of the electric circuit 46.

以上の構成の飲料抽出機1の使用方法について説明する。まず、ドリッパー3がホルダー19にセットされていない状態での飲料抽出機1の動作について説明すると、飲料容器4を収納スペース41に挿入して、レバー22を第2の回動軸26回りに回動動作させても、第2の回動軸26回りを前方へ回動動作するドリッパー検知部24の可動部材33に当接するものが存在しないため、可動部材33はスイッチ31収納部内の前方に段差部34と係止部35が係合した待機位置(図4参照)のままで、スイッチ31はOFF(切状態)のままである。またドリッパー3の吐出口12も弁部15によって閉塞されている。そして、検出スイッチ31がOFF(切状態)のままなので、抽出スイッチ47を操作しても電源48からヒータ49へ通電されず抽出が行われない。   The usage method of the drink extractor 1 of the above structure is demonstrated. First, the operation of the beverage extractor 1 in a state where the dripper 3 is not set in the holder 19 will be described. The beverage container 4 is inserted into the storage space 41 and the lever 22 is rotated around the second rotation shaft 26. Since there is no contact with the movable member 33 of the dripper detection unit 24 that rotates forward about the second rotation shaft 26 even if the movable member 33 is moved, the movable member 33 is stepped forward in the switch 31 storage unit. The switch 31 remains OFF (OFF state) at the standby position (see FIG. 4) where the portion 34 and the locking portion 35 are engaged. The discharge port 12 of the dripper 3 is also closed by the valve portion 15. Since the detection switch 31 remains OFF (OFF state), even if the extraction switch 47 is operated, no power is supplied from the power source 48 to the heater 49 and no extraction is performed.

続いて、ドリッパー3がホルダー19に正しくセットされた状態での飲料抽出機1の動作について説明すると、収納スペース41に挿入された飲料容器4の容器本体42に、レバー22の容器検知点28が当接し、飲料容器4によって後方へ押圧されたレバー22の容器検知部25は第2の回動軸26回りを後方へ回動動作する。   Subsequently, the operation of the beverage extractor 1 in a state where the dripper 3 is correctly set in the holder 19 will be described. The container detection point 28 of the lever 22 is placed on the container body 42 of the beverage container 4 inserted into the storage space 41. The container detection unit 25 of the lever 22 that is in contact with and pressed backward by the beverage container 4 rotates backward about the second rotational shaft 26.

前述のレバー22の容器検知部25の第2の回動軸26回りを後方へ回動する動作にともない、ドリッパー検知部24が相対的に第2の回動軸26回りを前方へ回動動作して、ドリッパー検知部24のドリッパー検知点27が開弁部材13の凸部16側の後面に当接した状態から、レバー22のドリッパー検知部24がさらに第2の回動軸26回りを前方へ回動動作すると、可動部材33が段差部34と係止部35が係合した待機位置(図4参照)からスイッチ収納部30内を当接部36がストッパー部37に当接するまで後方へ移動して、可動部材33の傾斜部39によって検出スイッチ31のボタン32が押し下げられて、検出スイッチ31がON(入状態)となる。   As the above-described lever 22 rotates around the second rotation axis 26 of the container detection unit 25, the dripper detection unit 24 relatively rotates around the second rotation axis 26 forward. From the state where the dripper detection point 27 of the dripper detection unit 24 is in contact with the rear surface of the convex portion 16 side of the valve opening member 13, the dripper detection unit 24 of the lever 22 further moves forward around the second rotation shaft 26. When the movable member 33 rotates to the rear, the movable member 33 moves backward from the standby position (see FIG. 4) where the step portion 34 and the locking portion 35 are engaged until the contact portion 36 contacts the stopper portion 37 in the switch storage portion 30. The button 32 of the detection switch 31 is pushed down by the inclined portion 39 of the movable member 33, and the detection switch 31 is turned on (ON state).

そして、飲料容器4をさらに収納スペース41へ押し込み、レバー22のドリッパー検知部24をさらに第2の回動軸26回りに前方へ回動動作させると、ドリッパー検知部24により第1の弾性部材18からの後向きの付勢力に抗して開弁部材13の凸部16は第2の回動軸26回りを前方へ押圧される。   When the beverage container 4 is further pushed into the storage space 41 and the dripper detecting portion 24 of the lever 22 is further rotated forward about the second rotating shaft 26, the dripper detecting portion 24 causes the first elastic member 18 to move. The convex portion 16 of the valve-opening member 13 is pressed forward around the second rotation shaft 26 against the backward urging force from.

開弁部材13の凸部16が第1の回動軸17回りに前方へ回動動作すると、開弁部材13の弁部15は相対的に第1の回動軸17回りに後方へ回動動作し、ドリッパー3の吐出口12が開放される。そして、検出スイッチ31がON(入状態)となり、抽出スイッチ47をON(入状態)に操作すると、電源48からヒータ49への通電が行われる。   When the convex portion 16 of the valve opening member 13 rotates forward about the first rotation shaft 17, the valve portion 15 of the valve opening member 13 relatively rotates rearward about the first rotation shaft 17. In operation, the discharge port 12 of the dripper 3 is opened. Then, when the detection switch 31 is turned on (on state) and the extraction switch 47 is turned on (on state), power is supplied from the power supply 48 to the heater 49.

そのため、検出スイッチ31がON(入状態)となり抽出スイッチ47をON(入状態)に操作して電源48からヒータ49への通電が行われると、水タンクからの水が加熱され、その沸騰による内圧の上昇にともない、給液部10からお湯がドリッパー3へ供給されて飲料の抽出が行われ、ドリッパー3の吐出口12の下部に配置された飲料容器4の注ぎ口44へ飲料が落下する。その後、抽出スイッチ47をOFF(切状態)に操作すると、電源48からヒータ49への通電が停止され、飲料の抽出が行われない。   Therefore, when the detection switch 31 is turned on (on state) and the extraction switch 47 is turned on (on state) to energize the heater 49 from the power source 48, the water from the water tank is heated and the boiling As the internal pressure increases, hot water is supplied from the liquid supply unit 10 to the dripper 3 to extract the beverage, and the beverage falls into the spout 44 of the beverage container 4 disposed below the discharge port 12 of the dripper 3. . Thereafter, when the extraction switch 47 is turned OFF (off state), the power supply from the power source 48 to the heater 49 is stopped, and the beverage is not extracted.

また、抽出機本体2のホルダー19とベース部6にそれぞれドリッパー3と飲料容器4が正しくセットされて、検出スイッチ31と抽出スイッチ47がともにON(入状態)となり、電源48からヒータ49へ通電が行われ、ドリッパー3へ飲料の抽出が行われている状態から、ドリッパー3をホルダー19から離脱させると、レバー22のドリッパー検知点27に作用している開弁部材13からの付勢力が解消する。そして、容器検知点28に作用している飲料容器4からの操作力によって、レバー22が第2の回転軸26回りに回動すると、レバー22のドリッパー検知点27及び容器検知点28にそれぞれ作用していた開弁部材13及び飲料容器4の双方からの負荷が解消され、可動部材33が待機位置(図4参照)まで復帰すると、検出スイッチ31がOFF(切状態)となる。また、ドリッパー3をホルダー19から離脱させる際に、レバー22のドリッパー検知部24により開弁部材13の凸部16を第1の弾性部材18からの付勢力に抗して第2の回動軸26回りに押圧する操作力が解消されるので、吐出口12は第1の弾性部材18からの付勢力により開弁部材13の弁部15によって閉塞される。このように、検出スイッチ31がOFF(切状態)となると、電源48からヒータ49への通電が停止され、抽出スイッチ47(図示せず)を操作しても飲料の抽出が行われない。   Further, the dripper 3 and the beverage container 4 are correctly set in the holder 19 and the base portion 6 of the extractor body 2, respectively, and both the detection switch 31 and the extraction switch 47 are turned on (ON state), and the heater 49 is energized from the power supply 48. When the dripper 3 is detached from the holder 19 from the state where the beverage is extracted to the dripper 3, the urging force from the valve opening member 13 acting on the dripper detection point 27 of the lever 22 is eliminated. To do. When the lever 22 rotates around the second rotation shaft 26 by the operation force from the beverage container 4 acting on the container detection point 28, it acts on the dripper detection point 27 and the container detection point 28 of the lever 22, respectively. When the load from both the opened valve member 13 and the beverage container 4 is eliminated and the movable member 33 returns to the standby position (see FIG. 4), the detection switch 31 is turned off (off state). Further, when the dripper 3 is detached from the holder 19, the second rotation shaft against the biasing force from the first elastic member 18 is applied to the convex portion 16 of the valve opening member 13 by the dripper detection portion 24 of the lever 22. Since the operating force pressing around 26 is eliminated, the discharge port 12 is closed by the valve portion 15 of the valve opening member 13 by the urging force from the first elastic member 18. Thus, when the detection switch 31 is turned off (off state), the power supply from the power source 48 to the heater 49 is stopped, and the beverage is not extracted even if the extraction switch 47 (not shown) is operated.

さらに、抽出機本体2のホルダー19とベース部6にそれぞれドリッパー3と飲料容器4が正しくセットされて、検出スイッチ31と抽出スイッチ47がともにON(入状態)となり、電源48からヒータ49へ通電が行われ、ドリッパー3へ飲料の抽出が行われている状態から、飲料容器4をベース部6から離脱させると、レバー22の容器検知点28に作用している飲料容器4からの操作力が解消する。そして、ドリッパー検知点27に開弁部材13を介して作用している第1の弾性部材18からの付勢力によって、レバー22が第2の回転軸26回りに回動すると、レバー22のドリッパー検知点27及び容器検知点28にそれぞれ作用していた開弁部材13及び飲料容器4の双方からの負荷が解消され、可動部材33が待機位置(図4参照)まで復帰すると、検出スイッチ31がOFF(切状態)となる。また、レバー22が、前述の第1の弾性部材18からの付勢力によって、第2の回転軸26回りに回動する際に、吐出口12は開弁部材13の弁部15によって閉塞される。このように、検出スイッチ31がOFF(切状態)となると、電源48からヒータ49への通電が停止され、抽出スイッチ47(図示せず)を操作しても飲料の抽出が行われない。   Furthermore, the dripper 3 and the beverage container 4 are correctly set on the holder 19 and the base portion 6 of the extractor body 2 respectively, and both the detection switch 31 and the extraction switch 47 are turned on (ON state), and the heater 49 is energized from the power supply 48. When the beverage container 4 is detached from the base portion 6 from the state where the beverage is extracted to the dripper 3, the operation force from the beverage container 4 acting on the container detection point 28 of the lever 22 is obtained. Eliminate. When the lever 22 rotates around the second rotation shaft 26 by the urging force from the first elastic member 18 acting on the dripper detection point 27 via the valve opening member 13, the dripper detection of the lever 22 is detected. When the load from both the valve opening member 13 and the beverage container 4 acting on the point 27 and the container detection point 28 is eliminated and the movable member 33 returns to the standby position (see FIG. 4), the detection switch 31 is turned off. (OFF state). Further, when the lever 22 is rotated around the second rotation shaft 26 by the biasing force from the first elastic member 18, the discharge port 12 is closed by the valve portion 15 of the valve opening member 13. . Thus, when the detection switch 31 is turned off (off state), the power supply from the power source 48 to the heater 49 is stopped, and the beverage is not extracted even if the extraction switch 47 (not shown) is operated.

このように、飲料容器4の動きを検知し、ドリッパー3の吐出口12を開く力を開弁部材13へ伝えるレバー22において、容器検知点28からドリッパー検知点27までの間にスイッチ31を押す可動部材33を設けることで、必ず可動部材33が動いてから開弁部材13へ力が伝わる事になる。   In this way, the switch 31 is pressed between the container detection point 28 and the dripper detection point 27 in the lever 22 that detects the movement of the beverage container 4 and transmits the force for opening the discharge port 12 of the dripper 3 to the valve opening member 13. By providing the movable member 33, the force is transmitted to the valve opening member 13 after the movable member 33 always moves.

そして、その可動部材33の動きを検出スイッチ31が検知することで、ドリッパー3と飲料容器4が両方正しくセットされたことを検知できる。そのため、どちらかが正しくセットされていない場合は抽出スイッチ47を押しても抽出を開始しないし、抽出中の場合は飲料抽出のためのヒータ49をOFF(切状態)にして、飲料が溢れる問題や飲料がこぼれて床やテーブルを汚す問題を回避することができる。   Then, when the detection switch 31 detects the movement of the movable member 33, it can be detected that both the dripper 3 and the beverage container 4 are set correctly. Therefore, if either of them is not set correctly, pressing the extraction switch 47 will not start extraction, and if extraction is in progress, the beverage extraction heater 49 is turned off (off state) The problem of spilling beverages and fouling floors and tables can be avoided.

また、可動部材33及びスイッチ31と、飲料容器4からの力を伝えるレバー22とを一体に構成することが出来るので、少ない部品点数で構成されかつ確実な動作を得る事ができる。   In addition, since the movable member 33 and the switch 31 and the lever 22 for transmitting the force from the beverage container 4 can be formed integrally, a small number of parts and a reliable operation can be obtained.

図6〜図9は、本発明の第2実施例を示しており、前記実施例1と同一部分には同一符号を付し、その詳細な説明を省略する。実施例2では、容器検知部25に可動部材50及び検出スイッチ51を備えた構成とし、図5に示す検出スイッチ31を検出スイッチ51に変更したものである。   6 to 9 show a second embodiment of the present invention. The same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted. In the second embodiment, the container detection unit 25 includes a movable member 50 and a detection switch 51, and the detection switch 31 shown in FIG.

本実施例の容器検知部25は、前方にスイッチ側開口部52を有し内部を中空に形成されたスイッチ収容部53の上部に検出スイッチ51がボタン54を下向きにして収容されており、スイッチ収容部53の下部の検出スイッチ51との隙間に可動部材50が出入可能に配設されている。   The container detection unit 25 of the present embodiment has a detection switch 51 accommodated with a button 54 facing downward in an upper portion of a switch accommodation portion 53 having a switch side opening 52 in the front and formed hollow inside. A movable member 50 is disposed in a gap with the detection switch 51 below the housing portion 53 so as to be able to enter and exit.

可動部材50は、前方に突出してスイッチ収容部53から露出可能な容器検知点28を備えて形成されている。   The movable member 50 is formed with a container detection point 28 that protrudes forward and can be exposed from the switch housing portion 53.

可動部材50の後方下部には、前方から後方にかけて下向きに傾斜して形成された傾斜部55が形成されており、可動部材50がスイッチ収容部53内を後方に移動すると、傾斜部55によって検出スイッチ51のボタン54が押し上げられて、検出スイッチ51が押動操作される構造となっている。   In the lower rear part of the movable member 50, there is formed an inclined portion 55 that is inclined downward from the front to the rear. When the movable member 50 moves rearward in the switch accommodating portion 53, the inclined portion 55 detects it. The button 54 of the switch 51 is pushed up, and the detection switch 51 is pushed.

以上の構成の飲料抽出機1の使用方法について説明する。まず、ドリッパー3がホルダー19にセットされていない状態での飲料抽出機1の動作について説明すると、飲料容器4を収納スペース41に挿入して、レバー22を第2の回動軸26回りに回動動作させても、第2の回動軸26回りを前方へ回動動作するドリッパー検知部24のドリッパー検知点27に当接するものが存在しないため、可動部材50はスイッチ収容部53内の前方の待機位置(図9参照)のままで、検出スイッチ51はOFF(切状態)のままである。またドリッパー3の吐出口12も弁部15によって閉塞されている。そして、検出スイッチ51がOFF(切状態)のままなので、抽出スイッチ47を操作しても電源48からヒータ49へ通電されず抽出が行われない。   The usage method of the drink extractor 1 of the above structure is demonstrated. First, the operation of the beverage extractor 1 in a state where the dripper 3 is not set in the holder 19 will be described. The beverage container 4 is inserted into the storage space 41 and the lever 22 is rotated around the second rotation shaft 26. Since there is no contact with the dripper detection point 27 of the dripper detection section 24 that rotates forward about the second rotation shaft 26 even if it is moved, the movable member 50 is located in the front of the switch housing section 53. In the standby position (see FIG. 9), the detection switch 51 remains OFF (OFF state). The discharge port 12 of the dripper 3 is also closed by the valve portion 15. Since the detection switch 51 remains OFF (OFF state), even if the extraction switch 47 is operated, no power is supplied from the power source 48 to the heater 49 and extraction is not performed.

続いて、ドリッパー3がホルダー19に正しくセットされた状態での飲料抽出機1の動作について説明すると、収納スペース41に挿入された飲料容器4の容器本体42に、レバー22の容器検知点28が当接し、飲料容器4によって後方へ押圧されたレバー22の容器検知部25は第2の回動軸26回りを後方へ回動動作する。   Subsequently, the operation of the beverage extractor 1 in a state where the dripper 3 is correctly set in the holder 19 will be described. The container detection point 28 of the lever 22 is placed on the container body 42 of the beverage container 4 inserted into the storage space 41. The container detection unit 25 of the lever 22 that is in contact with and pressed backward by the beverage container 4 rotates backward about the second rotational shaft 26.

前述のレバー22の容器検知部25の第2の回動軸26回りを後方へ回動する動作にともない、ドリッパー検知部24が相対的に第2の回動軸26回りを前方へ回動動作して、ドリッパー検知部24のドリッパー検知点27が開弁部材13の凸部16側の後面に当接した状態から、飲料容器4によってレバー22がさらに後方へ押圧されると、可動部材50が待機位置(図9参照)からスイッチ収納部53内を後方へ移動して、可動部材50の傾斜部55によって検出スイッチ51のボタン54が押し上げられて、検出スイッチ51がON(入状態)となる。   As the above-described lever 22 rotates around the second rotation axis 26 of the container detection unit 25, the dripper detection unit 24 relatively rotates around the second rotation axis 26 forward. Then, when the lever 22 is further pushed backward by the beverage container 4 from the state in which the dripper detection point 27 of the dripper detection unit 24 is in contact with the rear surface of the valve opening member 13 on the convex portion 16 side, the movable member 50 is moved. The switch 54 is moved rearward from the standby position (see FIG. 9), the button 54 of the detection switch 51 is pushed up by the inclined portion 55 of the movable member 50, and the detection switch 51 is turned on (ON state). .

そして、飲料容器4をさらに収納スペース41へ押し込み、レバー22のドリッパー検知部24をさらに第2の回動軸26回りに前方へ回動動作させると、ドリッパー検知部24により第1の弾性部材18からの後向きの付勢力に抗して開弁部材13の凸部16は第2の回動軸26回りを前方へ押圧される。   When the beverage container 4 is further pushed into the storage space 41 and the dripper detecting portion 24 of the lever 22 is further rotated forward about the second rotating shaft 26, the dripper detecting portion 24 causes the first elastic member 18 to move. The convex portion 16 of the valve-opening member 13 is pressed forward around the second rotation shaft 26 against the backward urging force from.

開弁部材13の凸部16が第1の回動軸17回りに前方へ回動動作すると、開弁部材13の弁部15は相対的に第1の回動軸17回りに後方へ回動動作し、ドリッパー3の吐出口12が開放される。そして、検出スイッチ51がON(入状態)となり、抽出スイッチ47をON(入状態)に操作すると、電源48からヒータ49への通電が行われる。   When the convex portion 16 of the valve opening member 13 rotates forward about the first rotation shaft 17, the valve portion 15 of the valve opening member 13 relatively rotates rearward about the first rotation shaft 17. In operation, the discharge port 12 of the dripper 3 is opened. When the detection switch 51 is turned on (on state) and the extraction switch 47 is turned on (on state), power is supplied from the power supply 48 to the heater 49.

そのため、検出スイッチ51がON(入状態)となり抽出スイッチ47をON(入状態)に操作して電源48からヒータ49への通電が行われると、水タンクからの水が加熱され、その沸騰による内圧の上昇にともない、給液部10からお湯がドリッパー3へ供給されて飲料の抽出が行われ、ドリッパー3の吐出口12の下部に配置された飲料容器4の注ぎ口44へ飲料が落下する。その後、抽出スイッチ47をOFF(切状態)に操作すると、電源48からヒータ49への通電が停止され、飲料の抽出が行われない。   Therefore, when the detection switch 51 is turned on (on state) and the extraction switch 47 is turned on (on state) to energize the heater 49 from the power source 48, the water from the water tank is heated and the boiling As the internal pressure increases, hot water is supplied from the liquid supply unit 10 to the dripper 3 to extract the beverage, and the beverage falls into the spout 44 of the beverage container 4 disposed below the discharge port 12 of the dripper 3. . Thereafter, when the extraction switch 47 is turned OFF (off state), the power supply from the power source 48 to the heater 49 is stopped, and the beverage is not extracted.

また、抽出機本体2のホルダー19とベース部6にそれぞれドリッパー3と飲料容器4が正しくセットされて、検出スイッチ51と抽出スイッチ47がともにON(入状態)となり、電源48からヒータ49へ通電が行われ、ドリッパー3へ飲料の抽出が行われている状態から、ドリッパー3をホルダー19から離脱させると、レバー22のドリッパー検知点27に作用している開弁部材13からの付勢力が解消する。そして、容器検知点28に作用している飲料容器4からの操作力によって、レバー22が第2の回転軸26回りに回動すると、レバー22のドリッパー検知点27及び容器検知点28にそれぞれ作用していた開弁部材13及び飲料容器4の双方からの負荷が解消され、可動部材50が待機位置(図9参照)まで復帰すると、検出スイッチ51がOFF(切状態)となる。また、ドリッパー3をホルダー19から離脱させる際に、レバー22のドリッパー検知部24により開弁部材13の凸部16を第1の弾性部材18からの付勢力に抗して第2の回動軸26回りに押圧する操作力が解消されるので、吐出口12は第1の弾性部材18からの付勢力により開弁部材13の弁部15によって閉塞される。このように、検出スイッチ51がOFF(切状態)となると、電源48からヒータ49への通電が停止され、抽出スイッチ47を操作しても飲料の抽出が行われない。   In addition, the dripper 3 and the beverage container 4 are correctly set in the holder 19 and the base portion 6 of the extractor body 2 respectively, and both the detection switch 51 and the extraction switch 47 are turned on (ON state), and the heater 49 is energized from the power supply 48. When the dripper 3 is detached from the holder 19 from the state where the beverage is extracted to the dripper 3, the urging force from the valve opening member 13 acting on the dripper detection point 27 of the lever 22 is eliminated. To do. When the lever 22 rotates around the second rotation shaft 26 by the operation force from the beverage container 4 acting on the container detection point 28, it acts on the dripper detection point 27 and the container detection point 28 of the lever 22, respectively. When the load from both the opened valve member 13 and the beverage container 4 is released and the movable member 50 returns to the standby position (see FIG. 9), the detection switch 51 is turned off (off state). Further, when the dripper 3 is detached from the holder 19, the second rotation shaft against the biasing force from the first elastic member 18 is applied to the convex portion 16 of the valve opening member 13 by the dripper detection portion 24 of the lever 22. Since the operating force pressing around 26 is eliminated, the discharge port 12 is closed by the valve portion 15 of the valve opening member 13 by the urging force from the first elastic member 18. As described above, when the detection switch 51 is turned off (off state), the power supply from the power source 48 to the heater 49 is stopped, and the beverage is not extracted even if the extraction switch 47 is operated.

さらに、抽出機本体2のホルダー19とベース部6にそれぞれドリッパー3と飲料容器4が正しくセットされて、検出スイッチ51と抽出スイッチ47がともにON(入状態)となり、電源48からヒータ49へ通電が行われ、ドリッパー3へ飲料の抽出が行われている状態から、飲料容器4をベース部6から離脱させると、レバー22の容器検知点28に作用している飲料容器4からの操作力が解消する。そして、ドリッパー検知点27に開弁部材13を介して作用している第1の弾性部材18からの付勢力によって、レバー22が第2の回転軸26回りに回動すると、レバー22のドリッパー検知点27及び容器検知点28にそれぞれ作用していた開弁部材13及び飲料容器4の双方からの負荷が解消され、可動部材50が待機位置(図9参照)まで復帰すると、検出スイッチ51がOFF(切状態)となる。また、レバー22が、前述の第1の弾性部材18からの付勢力によって、第2の回転軸26回りに回動する際に、吐出口12は開弁部材13の弁部15によって閉塞される。このように、検出スイッチ51がOFF(切状態)となると、電源48からヒータ49への通電が停止され、抽出スイッチ47を操作しても飲料の抽出が行われない。   Further, the dripper 3 and the beverage container 4 are correctly set on the holder 19 and the base portion 6 of the extractor body 2 respectively, and both the detection switch 51 and the extraction switch 47 are turned on (ON state), and the heater 49 is energized from the power supply 48. When the beverage container 4 is detached from the base portion 6 from the state where the beverage is extracted to the dripper 3, the operation force from the beverage container 4 acting on the container detection point 28 of the lever 22 is obtained. Eliminate. When the lever 22 rotates around the second rotation shaft 26 by the urging force from the first elastic member 18 acting on the dripper detection point 27 via the valve opening member 13, the dripper detection of the lever 22 is detected. When the load from both the valve opening member 13 and the beverage container 4 acting on the point 27 and the container detection point 28 is eliminated and the movable member 50 returns to the standby position (see FIG. 9), the detection switch 51 is turned off. (OFF state). Further, when the lever 22 is rotated around the second rotation shaft 26 by the biasing force from the first elastic member 18, the discharge port 12 is closed by the valve portion 15 of the valve opening member 13. . As described above, when the detection switch 51 is turned off (off state), the power supply from the power source 48 to the heater 49 is stopped, and the beverage is not extracted even if the extraction switch 47 is operated.

このように、飲料容器4の動きを検知し、ドリッパー3の吐出口12を開く力を開弁部材13へ伝えるレバー22において、容器検知点28からドリッパー検知点27までの間に検出スイッチ51を押す可動部材50を設けることで、必ず可動部材50が動いてから開弁部材13へ力が伝わる事になる。   In this way, in the lever 22 that detects the movement of the beverage container 4 and transmits the opening force of the dripper 3 to the valve opening member 13, the detection switch 51 is set between the container detection point 28 and the dripper detection point 27. Providing the movable member 50 to be pushed ensures that the force is transmitted to the valve opening member 13 after the movable member 50 is moved.

そして、その可動部材50の動きを検出スイッチ51が検知することで、ドリッパー3と飲料容器4が両方正しくセットされたことを検知できる。そのため、どちらかが正しくセットされていない場合は飲料抽出のためのヒータ49をOFF(切状態)にして、飲料が溢れる問題や飲料がこぼれて床やテーブルを汚す問題を回避することができる。   Then, when the detection switch 51 detects the movement of the movable member 50, it can be detected that both the dripper 3 and the beverage container 4 are set correctly. Therefore, when one of them is not set correctly, the heater 49 for extracting the beverage can be turned off (off state) to avoid the problem that the beverage overflows and the problem that the beverage spills and soils the floor or table.

また、可動部材50及びスイッチ51と、飲料容器4からの力を伝えるレバー22とを一体に構成することが出来るので、少ない部品点数で構成されかつ確実な動作を得る事ができる。   In addition, since the movable member 50 and the switch 51 and the lever 22 for transmitting the force from the beverage container 4 can be formed integrally, a small number of parts and a reliable operation can be obtained.

図10〜図13は、本発明の第3実施例を示しており、前記実施例1と同一部分には同一符号を付し、その詳細な説明を省略する。実施例3では、ドリッパー検知部24にレバー22の第2の回動軸26と同軸上に取り付けられた可動部材60と検出スイッチ61を備え、レバー22を2分割して屈曲可能にした構成とし、図5に示す検出スイッチ31を検出スイッチ61に変更したものである。   10 to 13 show a third embodiment of the present invention. The same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted. In the third embodiment, the dripper detection unit 24 is provided with a movable member 60 and a detection switch 61 that are mounted coaxially with the second rotation shaft 26 of the lever 22, and the lever 22 is divided into two parts so that the lever 22 can be bent. 5 is obtained by changing the detection switch 31 shown in FIG.

本実施例のドリッパー検知部24は、上方及び前方を開放して内部を中空に形成されたスイッチ収容部62に検出スイッチ61がボタン63を上向きにして収容されており、スイッチ収容部62の前方に第2の回動軸26よって前後に回動可能に軸支された可動部材60が配設されている。   In the dripper detection unit 24 of the present embodiment, the detection switch 61 is accommodated with the button 63 facing upward in a switch accommodation portion 62 that is open at the top and front and is hollow inside. In addition, a movable member 60 pivotally supported by the second pivot shaft 26 so as to pivot forward and backward is disposed.

可動部材60は、前方に突出してスイッチ収容部62から露出可能なドリッパー検知点64を備えて形成されているとともに、可動部材60を後方に突出させた当接部65の下部によって検出スイッチ61のボタン63が押し下げられて、検出スイッチ61が押動操作される構造となっている。   The movable member 60 is formed with a dripper detection point 64 that protrudes forward and can be exposed from the switch accommodating portion 62, and the lower part of the contact portion 65 that protrudes the movable member 60 rearward causes the detection switch 61 to The button 63 is pushed down, and the detection switch 61 is pushed.

以上の構成の飲料抽出機1の使用方法について説明する。まず、ドリッパー3がホルダー19にセットされていない状態での飲料抽出機1の動作について説明すると、飲料容器4を収納スペース41に挿入して、レバー22を第2の回動軸26回りに回動動作させても、第2の回動軸26回りを前方へ回動動作するドリッパー検知部24のドリッパー検知点64に当接するものが存在しないため、可動部材60はスイッチ収納部62内の前方の待機位置(図13参照)のままで、検出スイッチ61はOFF(切状態)のままである。またドリッパー3の吐出口12も弁部15によって閉塞されている。そして、検出スイッチ61がOFF(切状態)のままなので、抽出スイッチ47を操作しても電源48からヒータ49へ通電されず抽出が行われない。   The usage method of the drink extractor 1 of the above structure is demonstrated. First, the operation of the beverage extractor 1 in a state where the dripper 3 is not set in the holder 19 will be described. The beverage container 4 is inserted into the storage space 41 and the lever 22 is rotated around the second rotation shaft 26. Since there is no contact with the dripper detection point 64 of the dripper detection unit 24 that rotates forward about the second rotation shaft 26 even if the movable member 60 is moved, the movable member 60 is located in the front of the switch storage unit 62. The detection switch 61 remains OFF (OFF state) with the standby position (see FIG. 13). The discharge port 12 of the dripper 3 is also closed by the valve portion 15. Since the detection switch 61 remains OFF (OFF state), even if the extraction switch 47 is operated, no power is supplied from the power source 48 to the heater 49 and extraction is not performed.

続いて、ドリッパー3がホルダー19に正しくセットされた状態での飲料抽出機1の動作について説明すると、収納スペース41に挿入された飲料容器4の容器本体42に、レバー22の容器検知点28が当接し、飲料容器4によって後方へ押圧されたレバー22の容器検知部25は第2の回動軸26回りを後方へ回動動作する。   Subsequently, the operation of the beverage extractor 1 in a state where the dripper 3 is correctly set in the holder 19 will be described. The container detection point 28 of the lever 22 is placed on the container body 42 of the beverage container 4 inserted into the storage space 41. The container detection unit 25 of the lever 22 that is in contact with and pressed backward by the beverage container 4 rotates backward about the second rotational shaft 26.

前述のレバー22の容器検知部25の第2の回動軸26回りを後方へ回動する動作にともない、ドリッパー検知部24が相対的に第2の回動軸26回りを前方へ回動動作して、ドリッパー検知部24のドリッパー検知点64が開弁部材13の凸部16側の後面に当接した状態から、レバー22のドリッパー検知部24がさらに第2の回動軸26回りを前方へ回動動作すると、可動部材60が第2の回動軸26回りを後方へ回動して、可動部材60の当接部65の下部によって検出スイッチ61のボタン63が押し下げられて、検出スイッチ61がON(入状態)となる。   As the above-described lever 22 rotates around the second rotation axis 26 of the container detection unit 25, the dripper detection unit 24 relatively rotates around the second rotation axis 26 forward. From the state where the dripper detection point 64 of the dripper detection unit 24 is in contact with the rear surface of the convex portion 16 side of the valve opening member 13, the dripper detection unit 24 of the lever 22 further moves forward around the second rotation shaft 26. When the movable member 60 is rotated, the movable member 60 is rotated rearward about the second rotational shaft 26, and the button 63 of the detection switch 61 is pushed down by the lower portion of the contact portion 65 of the movable member 60. 61 turns ON (ON state).

そして、飲料容器4をさらに収納スペース41へ押し込み、レバー22のドリッパー検知部24をさらに第2の回動軸26回りに前方へ回動動作させると、ドリッパー検知部24により第1の弾性部材18からの後向きの付勢力に抗して開弁部材13の凸部16は第2の回動軸26回りを前方へ押圧される。   When the beverage container 4 is further pushed into the storage space 41 and the dripper detecting portion 24 of the lever 22 is further rotated forward about the second rotating shaft 26, the dripper detecting portion 24 causes the first elastic member 18 to move. The convex portion 16 of the valve-opening member 13 is pressed forward around the second rotation shaft 26 against the backward urging force from.

開弁部材13の凸部16が第1の回動軸17回りに前方へ回動動作すると、開弁部材13の弁部15は相対的に第1の回動軸17回りに後方へ回動動作し、ドリッパー3の吐出口12が開放される。そして、検出スイッチ61がON(入状態)となり、抽出スイッチ47をON(入状態)に操作すると、電源48からヒータ49への通電が行われる。   When the convex portion 16 of the valve opening member 13 rotates forward about the first rotation shaft 17, the valve portion 15 of the valve opening member 13 relatively rotates rearward about the first rotation shaft 17. In operation, the discharge port 12 of the dripper 3 is opened. Then, when the detection switch 61 is turned on (on state) and the extraction switch 47 is turned on (on state), the power supply 48 is energized to the heater 49.

そのため、検出スイッチ61がON(入状態)となり抽出スイッチ47をON(入状態)に操作して電源48からヒータ49への通電が行われると、水タンクからの水が加熱され、その沸騰による内圧の上昇にともない、給液部10からお湯がドリッパー3へ供給されて飲料の抽出が行われ、ドリッパー3の吐出口12の下部に配置された飲料容器4の注ぎ口44へ飲料が落下する。その後、抽出スイッチ47をOFF(切状態)に操作すると、電源48からヒータ49への通電が停止され、飲料の抽出が行われない。   Therefore, when the detection switch 61 is turned on (on state) and the extraction switch 47 is turned on (on state) to energize the heater 49 from the power source 48, the water from the water tank is heated and the boiling is caused. As the internal pressure increases, hot water is supplied from the liquid supply unit 10 to the dripper 3 to extract the beverage, and the beverage falls into the spout 44 of the beverage container 4 disposed below the discharge port 12 of the dripper 3. . Thereafter, when the extraction switch 47 is turned OFF (off state), the power supply from the power source 48 to the heater 49 is stopped, and the beverage is not extracted.

また、抽出機本体2のホルダー19とベース部6にそれぞれドリッパー3と飲料容器4が正しくセットされて、検出スイッチ61と抽出スイッチ47がともにON(入状態)となり、電源48からヒータ49へ通電が行われ、ドリッパー3へ飲料の抽出が行われている状態から、ドリッパー3をホルダー19から離脱させると、レバー22のドリッパー検知点64に作用している開弁部材13からの付勢力が解消する。そして、容器検知点28に作用している飲料容器4からの操作力によって、レバー22が第2の回転軸26回りに回動すると、レバー22のドリッパー検知点64及び容器検知点28にそれぞれ作用していた開弁部材13及び飲料容器4の双方からの負荷が解消され、可動部材60が待機位置(図13参照)まで復帰すると、検出スイッチ61がOFF(切状態)となる。また、ドリッパー3をホルダー19から離脱させる際に、レバー22のドリッパー検知部24により開弁部材13の凸部16を第1の弾性部材18からの付勢力に抗して第2の回動軸26回りに押圧する操作力が解消されるので、吐出口12は第1の弾性部材18からの付勢力により開弁部材13の弁部15によって閉塞される。このように、検出スイッチ61がOFF(切状態)となると、電源48からヒータ49への通電が停止され、抽出スイッチ47を操作しても飲料の抽出が行われない。   Further, the dripper 3 and the beverage container 4 are correctly set on the holder 19 and the base portion 6 of the extractor body 2 respectively, and both the detection switch 61 and the extraction switch 47 are turned on (ON state), and the heater 49 is energized from the power supply 48. When the dripper 3 is removed from the holder 19 from the state where the beverage is extracted to the dripper 3, the urging force from the valve opening member 13 acting on the dripper detection point 64 of the lever 22 is eliminated. To do. When the lever 22 rotates around the second rotation shaft 26 by the operation force from the beverage container 4 acting on the container detection point 28, the lever 22 acts on the dripper detection point 64 and the container detection point 28, respectively. When the load from both the valve opening member 13 and the beverage container 4 that have been removed is eliminated and the movable member 60 returns to the standby position (see FIG. 13), the detection switch 61 is turned off (off state). Further, when the dripper 3 is detached from the holder 19, the second rotation shaft against the biasing force from the first elastic member 18 is applied to the convex portion 16 of the valve opening member 13 by the dripper detection portion 24 of the lever 22. Since the operating force pressing around 26 is eliminated, the discharge port 12 is closed by the valve portion 15 of the valve opening member 13 by the urging force from the first elastic member 18. As described above, when the detection switch 61 is turned off (off state), the energization from the power supply 48 to the heater 49 is stopped, and the beverage is not extracted even if the extraction switch 47 is operated.

さらに、抽出機本体2のホルダー19とベース部6にそれぞれドリッパー3と飲料容器4が正しくセットされて、検出スイッチ61と抽出スイッチ47がともにON(入状態)となり、電源48からヒータ49へ通電が行われ、ドリッパー3へ飲料の抽出が行われている状態から、飲料容器4をベース部6から離脱させると、レバー22の容器検知点28に作用している飲料容器4からの操作力が解消する。そして、ドリッパー検知点27に開弁部材13を介して作用している第1の弾性部材18からの付勢力によって、レバー22が第2の回転軸26回りに回動すると、レバー22のドリッパー検知点64及び容器検知点28にそれぞれ作用していた開弁部材13及び飲料容器4の双方からの負荷が解消され、可動部材60が待機位置(図13参照)まで復帰すると、検出スイッチ61がOFF(切状態)となる。また、レバー22が、前述の第1の弾性部材18からの付勢力によって、第2の回転軸26回りに回動する際に、吐出口12は開弁部材13の弁部15によって閉塞される。このように、検出スイッチ61がOFF(切状態)となると、電源48からヒータ49への通電が停止され、抽出スイッチ47を操作しても飲料の抽出が行われない。   Furthermore, the dripper 3 and the beverage container 4 are correctly set on the holder 19 and the base portion 6 of the extractor body 2 respectively, and both the detection switch 61 and the extraction switch 47 are turned on (ON state), and the heater 49 is energized from the power supply 48. When the beverage container 4 is detached from the base portion 6 from the state where the beverage is extracted to the dripper 3, the operation force from the beverage container 4 acting on the container detection point 28 of the lever 22 is obtained. Eliminate. When the lever 22 rotates around the second rotation shaft 26 by the urging force from the first elastic member 18 acting on the dripper detection point 27 via the valve opening member 13, the dripper detection of the lever 22 is detected. When the load from both the valve opening member 13 and the beverage container 4 acting on the point 64 and the container detection point 28 is eliminated and the movable member 60 returns to the standby position (see FIG. 13), the detection switch 61 is turned off. (OFF state). Further, when the lever 22 is rotated around the second rotation shaft 26 by the biasing force from the first elastic member 18, the discharge port 12 is closed by the valve portion 15 of the valve opening member 13. . As described above, when the detection switch 61 is turned off (off state), the energization from the power supply 48 to the heater 49 is stopped, and the beverage is not extracted even if the extraction switch 47 is operated.

このように、飲料容器4の動きを検知し、ドリッパー3の吐出口12を開く力を開弁部材13へ伝えるレバー22において、容器検知点55からドリッパー検知点64までの間に検出スイッチ61を押す可動部材60を設けることで、必ず可動部材60が動いてから開弁部材22へ力が伝わる事になる。   In this way, in the lever 22 that detects the movement of the beverage container 4 and transmits the opening force of the dripper 3 to the valve opening member 13, the detection switch 61 is set between the container detection point 55 and the dripper detection point 64. Providing the movable member 60 to be pushed ensures that the force is transmitted to the valve opening member 22 after the movable member 60 is moved.

そして、その可動部材60の動きを検出スイッチ61が検知することで、ドリッパー3と飲料容器4が両方正しくセットされたことを検知できる。そのため、どちらかが正しくセットされていない場合は飲料抽出のためのヒータ49をOFF(切状態)にして、飲料が溢れる問題を回避することができる。   Then, when the detection switch 61 detects the movement of the movable member 60, it can be detected that both the dripper 3 and the beverage container 4 are set correctly. Therefore, when one of them is not set correctly, the heater 49 for beverage extraction is turned off (off state), and the problem of overflowing beverage can be avoided.

また、可動部材60及びスイッチ61と、飲料容器4からの力を伝えるレバー22とを一体に構成することが出来るので、少ない部品点数で構成されかつ確実な動作を得る事ができる。   In addition, since the movable member 60 and the switch 61 and the lever 22 for transmitting the force from the beverage container 4 can be integrally formed, it is possible to obtain a reliable operation with a small number of parts.

以上のように本実施例は請求項1に対応しており、抽出機本体2に水を受け入れる水タンク(図示せず)と、飲料抽出原料を収容するドリッパー3を備え、ドリッパー3下部に位置するように、抽出した飲料を受け入れる容器としての飲料容器4を着脱可能に設置し、水タンクには、ドリッパー3に湯を供給するための給湯路10が接続され、この給湯路10に加熱手段としてのヒータ49を配設すると共に、抽出機本体2に、飲料容器4に当接してドリッパー3の吐出口12に設けた止水弁としての開弁部材13を開弁させる操作手段としてのレバー22が設けられている飲料抽出機1において、ドリッパー3の有無を検出する検出手段としての検出スイッチ61を備えると共に、ヒータ49に検出スイッチ61が接続されている。   As described above, this embodiment corresponds to claim 1 and includes a water tank (not shown) for receiving water in the extractor main body 2 and a dripper 3 for containing beverage extraction ingredients, and is located at the bottom of the dripper 3. The beverage container 4 serving as a container for receiving the extracted beverage is detachably installed, and a hot water supply path 10 for supplying hot water to the dripper 3 is connected to the water tank, and heating means is connected to the hot water supply path 10. And a lever as an operating means for opening the valve-opening member 13 as a water stop valve provided in the discharge port 12 of the dripper 3 in contact with the beverage container 4 in the extractor body 2. The beverage extractor 1 provided with 22 includes a detection switch 61 as detection means for detecting the presence or absence of the dripper 3, and the detection switch 61 is connected to the heater 49.

この場合、レバー22と検出スイッチ61によって、飲料容器4とドリッパー3が両方とも抽出機本体2に正しくセットされたことを検出し、飲料容器4とドリッパー3のどちらかが抽出機本体2に正しくセットされていない場合は抽出スイッチ47を押しても抽出を開始しないようにし、抽出中の場合は飲料の抽出のためのヒータ49をOFF(切状態)にして、飲料が溢れる問題や飲料がこぼれて床やテーブルを汚す問題を回避することができる。   In this case, the lever 22 and the detection switch 61 detect that both the beverage container 4 and the dripper 3 are correctly set in the extractor body 2, and either the beverage container 4 or the dripper 3 is correctly attached to the extractor body 2. If it is not set, the extraction switch 47 will not be started even if the extraction switch 47 is pressed. If the extraction is in progress, the heater 49 for extracting the beverage will be turned off (off state). The problem of soiling the floor or table can be avoided.

本発明は、各実施例に限定されるものではなく、本発明の要旨の範囲内で種々の変形実施が可能である。例えば、図14に加熱手段を制御する通電制御手段として図5と異なる構成の電気回路70を示すが、図14の電気回路70は、検出スイッチ31及び抽出スイッチ47を備えたマイコン制御回路71、安全装置である温度ヒューズ70A、電源48が直列に接続されている。また、電源48とマイコン制御回路71との間の第1の接続点P1からもマイコン制御回路71へ直接接続されており、マイコン制御回路71と第1の接続点P1との間の第2の接続点P2と、マイコン制御回路71と温度ヒューズ70Aとの間の第3の接続点P3との間には、ヒータ49とリレー接点72が直列に接続されており、このリレー接点72とマイコン制御回路71に備えたリレーコイル73とでリレー74を構成している。ここで、リレー74では、リレーコイル73に通電されるとリレー接点72が閉じ、リレーコイル73への通電が遮断されるとリレー接点72が開くように構成されている。さらに、電気回路70の第1の接続点P1と第2の接続点P2との間には、もう一つの安全装置としてヒータ49の通電を制御してヒータ49の温度を一定に保つサーモスタット70Bが接続されている。そして、図5と同様に電気回路70は、温度ヒューズ70A及びサーモスタット70Bが電気回路70の異常加熱を検知すると、直ちにヒータ49への通電を強制的に停止するように構成されている。このように、検出スイッチ31の入/切状態をマイコン制御回路71で判断し、マイコン制御回路71によるリレーコイル73の通断電制御により、リレー接点72の開閉制御を行うことで、ヒータ49のON/OFF制御を行うという、抽出スイッチ47の操作及び検出スイッチ31の入/切状態によりヒータ49をON/OFFする回路としてもよい。   The present invention is not limited to each embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention. For example, FIG. 14 shows an electric circuit 70 having a configuration different from that shown in FIG. 5 as the energization control means for controlling the heating means. The electric circuit 70 shown in FIG. A temperature fuse 70A, which is a safety device, and a power supply 48 are connected in series. The first connection point P1 between the power supply 48 and the microcomputer control circuit 71 is also directly connected to the microcomputer control circuit 71, and the second connection point between the microcomputer control circuit 71 and the first connection point P1. A heater 49 and a relay contact 72 are connected in series between the connection point P2 and a third connection point P3 between the microcomputer control circuit 71 and the thermal fuse 70A. A relay 74 is constituted by the relay coil 73 provided in the circuit 71. Here, the relay 74 is configured such that when the relay coil 73 is energized, the relay contact 72 is closed, and when the energization to the relay coil 73 is interrupted, the relay contact 72 is opened. Further, between the first connection point P1 and the second connection point P2 of the electric circuit 70, there is a thermostat 70B that controls the energization of the heater 49 and keeps the temperature of the heater 49 constant as another safety device. It is connected. As in FIG. 5, the electric circuit 70 is configured to forcibly stop energization of the heater 49 as soon as the temperature fuse 70 </ b> A and the thermostat 70 </ b> B detect abnormal heating of the electric circuit 70. In this way, the microcomputer control circuit 71 determines whether the detection switch 31 is on / off, and the microcomputer control circuit 71 performs open / close control of the relay coil 73 to control the opening / closing of the relay contact 72. A circuit that turns ON / OFF the heater 49 by the operation of the extraction switch 47 and the ON / OFF state of the detection switch 31 that perform ON / OFF control may be used.
