1 to 7 and 14, the distributor device provided by the present invention will be described. Distributor device 1 includes a plurality of distributor trays 2 , a frame 3 and a carrier structure 4 . The frame 3 is used for each member such as a distributor tray and a carrier structure 4. For example, food 21 is stored in the distributor tray 2 and the food 21 is fixed to the frame 3, while the carrier structure 4 is attached to the distributor. It is convenient to transport the food 21 in the tray 2 to the shipping position on the frame 3. The distributor tray 2 is provided with a slideway 22. The distributor tray 2 is arranged at an angle. Since it can be slid by gravity, it is convenient for taking in and out the food 21. - 特許庁Correspondingly, the shipping end of the distributor tray 2 is fitted with a gate closer 23 to prevent the food 21 from sliding out of said slideway 22 . The distributor tray 2 further comprises a heating module 24 arranged on the slideway 22 so that the food 21 in the slideway 22 can be heated and kept warm. The carrier structure 4 is installed on the side of the shipping end of the frame 3 close to the slideway 22 and the carrier structure 4 is provided with a push pointer 413 . As the carrier structure 4 approaches the slideway 22, the push pointer 413 opens and closes the gate closer 23 to keep the shipping end of the slideway 22 open. The food product 21 in the slideway 22 can then slide from the slideway 22 onto the carrier structure 4 .

By installing the distributor tray 2 obliquely on the frame 3 and attaching a gate closer 23 to the shipping end of the distributor tray 2, the food 21 in the slideway 22 can slide freely to the shipping end of the slideway 22. can do. Furthermore, since the push pointer 413 is installed on the carrier structure 4, when the carrier structure 4 approaches the slide way 22, the push pointer 413 opens and closes the gate closer 23, and the slide way 22 is opened. The food product 21 in the slideway 22 slides out of the outlet end of the slideway 22 under the action of gravity and reaches the carrier structure 4 , so that the carrier structure 4 moves the food product 21 in the slideway 22 to the shipping position of the frame 3 . to realize the transportation. The above structure is simple and robust, and can reduce the number of moving parts connected to the distributor tray 2, effectively lowering the manufacturing cost of the device. Also, by providing each of the distributor trays 2 with a heating module 24, the heating module 24 can heat the food 21 in the slideway 22 so that the food 21 reaches its individual optimum eating temperature. , the food 21 is kept warm, and the trouble of secondary heating of the food 21 is reduced. In this embodiment, the inner surface area of the slideway 22 is smooth, simple, easy to clean and sanitary of the food 21 in order to ensure that the food 21 in the slideway 22 slides freely. Guaranteed.

Specifically, there are a plurality of distribution trays 2, the plurality of distribution trays 2 are arranged along the horizontal direction and the vertical direction and installed on the frame 3, and the slide way 22 of each distribution tray 2 is U-shaped. . The slideway 22 is adapted to the outer packaging of the food 21 so that the food 21 can be placed inside the slideway 22 . Each slideway 22 may be made of a smooth heat-resistant material such as stainless steel. Alternatively, the user's pursuit of aesthetics can be satisfied by applying a satin polish that is sufficiently smooth yet has a warmer hue. Here, the heating module 24 is installed on the slideway 22 facing the distributor tray 2 . That is, the heating module 24 is attached to the rear surface of the slideway 22 . In this embodiment, the U-shaped heating module 24 is installed on the back of the slide way 22, and the heating module 24 and the slide way 22 are tightly matched to achieve effective and rapid heat transfer. Different from the centralized hot air circulation system, a heating module 24 is attached to the back of each slideway 22 so that different food items 21 in different slideways 22 can be heated separately, thereby providing different Each of the food items 21 can be maintained at an individual optimal eating temperature. In order to ensure that the heat of each slideway 22 is not transferred to the other slideways 22 and the temperature balance of the other slideways 22 is not disturbed, any two adjacent slideways 22 are provided with a heat insulating plate ( (not shown) may be installed. This insulation board is preferably an airgel insulation, which has a very high insulation effect and is like a soft carpet and can be processed into any shape, so that the actual slideway 22 Airgel insulation can be pre-fabricated depending on the size and thickness of the insulation.

Figure 14 shows a vending machine 5 comprising a dispenser device 1, a payment unit 51, a display unit 52, a central processing unit (not shown) and a cabinet (not shown). The cabinet is divided into left and right chambers, the distributor device 1 is installed in the left chamber and the other components are installed in the right chamber. A temperature sensor (not shown) is provided on each slideway 22 to measure the temperature of the food 21 within the slideway 22 . Specifically, the temperature sensor collects the temperature of the food 21 in the corresponding slideway 22 within the cycle period and feeds back the collected temperature to the central controller. When the real-time temperature of the food 21 is lower than the optimal temperature of the food 21 stored by the central controller, the central controller sends a heating signal to the heating module 24 of the slideway 22 . If the collected temperature is higher than the best temperature for food 21 stored by the central controller, heating is stopped.

For this application, a tubular heating module 24 with an internal heating coil made of nickel-chromium and a protective outer shell made of alloyed stainless steel is selected. The tubular heating module 24 has the following advantages: first, it is an economical alternative to electrical resistance heating; second, manufacturer-customized shapes (round or flat), dimensions (length and diameter), power (voltage and current ratings), and bending options (rings and angles); third, they are very robust mechanically and resistant to chemical corrosion. Preferably, slideway 22, gate closer 23 and heating module 24 are all made of stainless steel. In this case, ultra-high temperature (UHT) sterilization techniques can be applied to the distributor tray 2 without affecting the components of the distributor tray 2 . When arranging the distributor tray 2, the frame 3 is kept open to facilitate the evaporation of water vapor.

The UHT sterilization process is as follows. First, the first row (bottom tray) of distributor tray 2 is rapidly heated from room temperature to 140° C. and held for 5 seconds. Sterilization time may take 30 seconds. 15 seconds after starting the sterilization of the first row, heat the second row of distributor tray 2 . Finally, repeat the same sterilization cycle for all remaining rows. At this time, the sterilization cycle of each row is 15 seconds apart from that of the previous row. Applying ultra-high temperature sterilization techniques to the distributor tray 2 does not damage other parts of the distributor device 1 . On the other hand, such a high-temperature and short-time treatment can destroy all microorganisms attached to the surface of the distributor tray 2 and ensure the safety of the food 21 .

In addition, please refer to FIGS. 1, 2 and 15 together. As a specific embodiment of the dispenser device provided by the present invention, the dispenser device 2 is inclined upwards by 10-25 degrees with respect to the horizontal, so that the packages of food 21 are appealed at an appropriate angle. there is Also, an appropriate inclination angle is set so that the food 21 on the slideway 22 can slide to the shipping end of the slideway 22 under the action of gravity. As a result, the food 21 in the slideway 22 can be prevented from sliding down from the slideway 22 too quickly due to the slope of the slideway 22 being too steep.

See also FIGS. 12, 13 and 15 together. As a particular embodiment of the distributor device provided by the present invention, the slideway 22 comprises a weight block 25 , the weight block 25 being slidably mounted on the slideway 22 . Thereby, this weight block 25 can push down the food 21 by gravity. The weight block 25, which is a hollow member cast in metal, has considerable weight, so that the obliquely positioned weight block 25 propels the food product 21 in the slideway 22 to the delivery end of the slideway 22. make it possible. On the other hand, if the article installed at an angle in the slideway 22 is required to slide freely downward by its own gravity, it must be ensured that the inner surface of the slideway 22 has a very high precision surface. However, it is expensive to produce such highly machined surfaces. In this embodiment, the placement of weight blocks 25 on slideway 22 has the effect of providing extra thrust to food product 21 . As a result, when the food 21 is placed on the inclined slideway 22, the mass of the weight block is relatively large, which overcomes the frictional force of the inner wall of the slideway 22 to propel the food 21 downward. can be moved by Thereby, the accuracy requirements of the inner surface of the slideway 22 can be lowered to save processing costs. On the other hand, if the slideway 22 is only moderately inclined so that the packaging of the food 21 is properly displayed, whether the food 21 can be lowered to the shipping end of the slideway 22 depends on the weight of the food 21. Depends on packaging surface material. At this time, the frictional force of the surface material may offset the downward force due to the universal gravitational force. By providing additional thrust to the food product 21 by installing a weight block 25 within the slideway 22, it is ensured that the food product 21 slides smoothly to the shipping end of the slideway 22, increasing the shipping accuracy of the device. improves. In addition, when compared with using a spring mechanism or an elastic member as a member for propelling the food 21 in the slideway 22, since the compressive elastic force is pushed out along the straight line direction, the elastic member is used in the inclined slideway 22. It is necessary to provide a limiting mechanism for fixing. On the other hand, the weight block 25 slides by its own gravity, and there is no need to install a position limiting mechanism within the slideway 22 to correct its movement path, and the connection between the movable members of the distributor device 1 is eliminated. , the structure is simplified, and the manufacturing cost of the distributor device 1 can be effectively reduced.

In addition, please refer to FIGS. 1 and 12 together. As a specific embodiment of the distributor device provided by the present invention, a guide groove 221 is provided at the bottom of the slideway 22, and correspondingly the bottom of the weight block 25 is placed in this guide groove 221. A guide bump 251 is provided. Preferably, two guide grooves 221 and four guide bumps 251 are provided in this embodiment. Four guide bumps 251 are symmetrically distributed on the bottom of the weight block 25 , and the four guide bumps 251 are installed in the guide grooves 221 of the slideway 22 . The contact surface between the guide block 251 and the guide groove 221 is very small. Due to the low frictional force, the metal block can overcome the friction and push the food product 21 downward to slide. Furthermore, when the guide bump 251 is provided on the weight weight 25 and the guide groove 221 corresponding to the slideway 22 is provided, an extremely low frictional force can be created between the weight block 251 and the guide groove 221 simply by precision machining. can have. Accordingly, the complexity of performing precision machining on the bottom of the weight block 25 and the bottom of the slideway 22 is reduced, and the manufacturing cost can be saved.

In addition, please refer to FIGS. 3-14 together. As a specific embodiment of the distributor device provided by the present invention, the carrier structure 4 includes a carrier arm 41 and a moving mechanism 42 connected to the carrier arm 41 for movement. The moving mechanism 42 is attached to the frame 3 and the push pointer 413 is connected to the carrier arm 41 . The carrier arm 41 can carry the food 21 that slides down through the slideway 22 , and in this way the carrier arm 41 is driven by the moving mechanism 42 to approach or leave the distributor tray 2 . can be When the carrier arm 41 approaches the distributor tray 2, the push pointer 413 opens the switch 23, so that the product in the slideway 22 slides into the carrier arm 41, and the carrier arm 41 with the food 21 placed thereon moves to the moving mechanism. The actuation of 42 realizes the movement of food from the shipping end of distributor tray 2 to the shipping position of frame 3 .

In addition, please refer to FIGS. 3-7 together. As a particular embodiment of the distributor device provided by the present invention, the gate closer 23 attached to the shipping end of the slideway 22 is a spring gate closer, and the spring gate closer cooperates with a push pointer 413. A handle 231 is provided. The handle 231 of the spring gate closer is located near the push pointer 413 , and the push pointer 413 pushes the handle 231 of the spring gate closer to indirectly control the opening and closing of the distributor tray 2 . The spring gate closer is a mechanical gate with a return spring. When the push pointer 413 pushes the handle 231, the gate opens, and when the handle 231 is released, the return spring automatically closes the gate. is also easy. The carrier arm 41 has a notch (not shown) for inserting the food 21 in the slideway 22, and the push pointer 413 is installed on the side of this notch closer to the gate closer 23, and when the carrier arm 41 approaches , the push pointer 413 drives the gate closer 23 to open the shipping area of the slideway 22 . At this time, the food 21 inclined on the slideway 22 slides into the notch of the carrier arm 41 by being pushed by the weight block 25 . By opening the notch for accommodating the food 21 on the carrier arm 41, the food 21 can be stably placed on the carrier arm 41, preventing the food 21 from falling during the transfer process, and ensuring operational safety. can ensure the integrity of the

A first lever arm 411 is pivotally connected to the carrier arm 41 . In this way, as the food product 21 on the carrier arm 41 continues to slide, the first lever arm 411 rotates so as to be collinear with the carrier arm 41, as a result, the food product 21 on the carrier arm 41 is It can be arranged completely within the carrier arm 41 . The gate closer 23 here is the aforementioned spring gate closer. Specifically, when the carrier arm 41 approaches the distributor tray 2 by driving the moving mechanism 42, the push pointer 413 of the carrier arm 41 does not contact the handle 231 of the spring gate closer at this time, and the spring The gate closer is in the closed position and the first lever arm 411 is in an upright position. Next, when the carrier arm 41 pushes the push pointer 413 against the handle 231 of the spring gate closer and the spring gate closer rotates under the action of thrust, the slideway 22 is in a half-open state, and the food 21 and the weight block 25 are lifted. It begins to drop, but the first lever arm 411 is still upright. When the handle 231 of the spring gate closer is fully pushed by the push pointer 413 of the carrier arm 41 , the spring gate closer is fully opened and the shipping end food product 21 closest to the distributor pallet 2 slides into the carrier portion 41 . At this time, by blocking with the first lever arm 411, the sliding speed of the food 21 on the carrier arm 41 is reduced, indirectly reducing the falling speed of the food 21 in the slideway 22, thereby Ensure that the food product 21 inside is still completely located within the distributor tray 2 . The first lever arm 411 now begins to rotate, pushed by the food product 21 sliding on the carrier arm 41 . As the carrier arm 41 gradually leaves the distributor tray 2 , the spring gate closer returns to its closed state to prevent the food product 21 from sliding out of the slideway 22 . The food product 21 on the carrier arm 41 continues to slide and the first lever arm 411 also rotates until it is aligned with the carrier arm 41 . Thereby, the food product 21 is completely slid into the carrier arm 41 . The carrier arm 41 is arranged at an angle so that the food 21 slid out from the slideway 22 can be transferred to the carrier arm 41 more smoothly. slightly larger is preferred. That is, the carrier arm 41 preferably has a slightly steeper slope than the slideway 22 . The difference between the inclination angle of the carrier arm 41 and the inclination angle of the distributor tray 2 is preferably 10 degrees or less, more preferably within the range of 4-8 degrees.

In addition, please refer to FIGS. 8-10 together.
