In the addition apparatus main body 23, the extrusion rack 26 is located in the rack rail 47 extended to the left and right. And by controlling forward rotation and reverse rotation of the DC motor 28 on the front surface of the main body 1 of the frozen dessert manufacturing apparatus SM, the DC motor 28 can be moved left and right, and enters and exits from an opening 23A formed on the side surface of the adding apparatus main body 23. It is configured.

  Optical sensors 50 and 51 for detecting the position of the extrusion rack 26 are provided on the upper surface of the lower wall of the adding device main body 23 along the rack rail 47. The optical sensor 50 is provided on the pushing portion 25 side, and the optical sensor 51 is provided on the other end. The optical sensor 50 is a sensor (standby sensor) that detects the standby state of the extrusion rack 26. When the optical sensor 50 is blocked by the shielding plate 26A provided at the rear end of the extrusion rack 26, the optical sensor 50 outputs LOW and is not blocked. It is a sensor that outputs HIGH in a state. The optical sensor 51 is a sensor (end point sensor) for detecting the end point of the extrusion rack 26, and outputs HIGH when blocked by the shielding plate 26A of the extrusion rack 26, and outputs LOW when not blocked. It is a sensor.

  Further, a fixing plate 52 is provided at the end of the adding device main body 23 on the side of the extrusion portion 25 so as to extend toward the extraction nozzle 12 attached to the outlet of the extraction passage 9. The fixing plate 52 connects and fixes the storage chamber 30 of the additive storage container 22 detachably attached to the take-out nozzle 12 to the addition device main body 23. The fixing plate 52 includes a fixing member 55 including a holding plate 53 positioned on the upper surface of the fixing plate 52 and an operation lever 54 positioned on the lower surface side of the fixing plate 52. The fixing member 55 is a container. The engaging claws 43, 43 formed on the lower surface of the main body 22A are clamped and fixed. That is, by tightening the operation lever 54, the engaging claws 43, 43 positioned between the holding plate 53 and the fixing plate 52 are fixed and loosened, thereby releasing the engaging claws 43, 43.

  Furthermore, an additive storage container detection sensor 80 is provided at the end of the fixed plate 52 on the take-out nozzle 12 side. The additive storage container detection sensor 80 is configured such that the storage chamber 30 of the additive storage container 22 is rotated to the position of the fixed plate 52 by a turning operation by the handles 71 and 77 provided in the additive storage container 22. It is a sensor which detects that it exists.

  Next, the control device C of the addition device 20 will be described with reference to the electric block diagram of FIG. This control device C is constituted by a general-purpose microcomputer, and on the input side, an additive extraction switch 58 displayed on the liquid crystal of the control panel 45, a forward switch 59, a backward switch 60, and an emergency stop switch 61, and the optical sensors 50 and 51, the encoder 29 of the DC motor 28, and the additive container detection sensor 80 are connected. The additive extraction switch 58 operates the pressing device 24 in response to an input of the switch to instruct the extraction of the additive. The forward switch 59 and the backward switch 60 arbitrarily advance and retract the extrusion rack 26. Is. The emergency stop switch 61 arbitrarily stops the operation of the extrusion rack 26 during the operation of the extrusion rack 26. On the other hand, a DC motor 28 and a notification device such as a buzzer 62 for instructing an extraction operation are connected to the output side of the control device C.

  With the above configuration, the operation of the addition apparatus 20 in the present embodiment will be described. First, an additive to be added to the frozen dessert is determined, and the additive is stored in the storage chamber 30 of the additive storage container 22. Additives include, for example, a predetermined viscosity such as fruit flesh cut into fruits, granular chocolate, solids such as nuts crushed below a predetermined size, or jam sauce or chocolate sauce And liquid additives having the following. Moreover, the said additive is not restricted to one type, You may be comprised by mixing multiple types. In this example, it is assumed that the additive is minced fruit pulp.

  Then, the piston member 41 is loaded into the accommodation chamber 30 and the upper surface opening is closed with the lid member 40. The piston member 41 may be loaded before or after the additive is accommodated. In the additive storage container 22 prepared in this state, the upper end of the addition chamber 31 is attached to the take-out nozzle 12 of the frozen dessert manufacturing apparatus SM.

  Here, the attachment procedure of the additive container 22 will be described. First, the lock member 21 is attached to the take-out nozzle 12. Thereafter, the engaging portions 31A and 31A formed on the upper side surface of the addition chamber 31 are inserted into the engaging holes 35A of the engaging portion 35 of the lock member 21 and fitted (FIG. 7). The detachable position is the first rotation angle position. This operation is performed by grasping the handles 71 and 77 of the additive storage container 22 from the viewpoint of hygiene.

  Maintaining the fitted state, the additive storage container 22 is rotated rearward from the front side to the pressing device 24 side with the central axis of the plunger 10 or an axis parallel to the plunger 10 as the rotation center. Is substantially parallel to the freezer door 8, and the other side of the storage chamber 30 of the container body 22 </ b> A faces the pressing device 24. That is, the second rotation angle position is set as described above. The engaging portions 31 </ b> A and 31 </ b> A are securely held by the engaging portion 36 of the lock member 21 by such a turning operation. For this reason, it is possible to easily attach and detach the additive storage container 22 to and from the extraction nozzle 12 of the extraction passage 9. When the container main body 22A is positioned at the second rotation angle, the control device C detects the container main body 22A by the additive storage container detection sensor 80.

  In this state, the engaging claws 43, 43 formed on the lower surface of the storage chamber 30 are inserted and engaged between the fixing plate 52 and the holding plate 53 fixed to the adding device main body 23. Accordingly, by operating the operation lever 54, the engaging claws 43 and 43 are securely fixed to the fixing plate 52. Further, the upper end of the addition chamber 31 of the additive storage container 22 is also securely fixed to the take-out nozzle 12 by the lock member 21. Therefore, even when the frozen dessert is extracted from above, it is possible to avoid the inconvenience that the additive storage container 22 falls off due to the extraction pressure. When the additive storage container 22 is to be replaced, such as when the additive to be added to the frozen dessert to be provided next time is changed, it can be easily removed by performing the operation opposite to the operation described above. Can do.

  On the other hand, when the additive storage container 22 that is currently used is continuously used without removing the additive storage container 22, such as when adding the same additive to the frozen dessert, the currently installed additive An operation of replenishing the additive into the storage chamber 30 of the article storage container 22 is performed.

  Specifically, first, by operating the operation lever 54, the engaging claws 43, 43 are released from the fixation between the fixing plate 52 and the holding plate 53. Thereafter, the handles 71 and 77 of the additive storage container 22 are held together, and the additive storage container 22 is moved from the pressing device 24 side to the front side with the central axis of the plunger 10 or an axis parallel thereto as the rotation center. The container chamber 30 is made substantially perpendicular to the freezer door 8 so that the other side of the container body 22A of the container body 22A faces the front side.

  In this state, only the handle 77 formed on the lid member 40 is gripped, and the lid member 40 is moved to the near side, that is, in the direction away from the addition chamber 31 by the dimension of the piston member 41. As a result, the engagement between the engaging portion 74 formed on the lid member 40 and the flange 73 formed on the container main body 22A is released, and the lid member 40 becomes rotatable about the shaft 75. The member 40 can be released from the container body 22A.

  As will be described later, the piston member 41 is retracted by the pushing portion 25 until the notch 41 </ b> A of the piston member 41 is engaged with the engaging portion 76 formed in the lid member 40. Therefore, in a state where the lid member 40 is opened, the piston member 41 is engaged with the back surface of the lid member 40 and is removed from the storage chamber 30 by the opening operation of the lid member 40.

  Therefore, when the piston member 41 remains in the storage chamber 30 when the lid member 40 is opened, it does not interfere with the opening operation of the lid member 40, and furthermore, the piston member 41 is maintained hygienically. Is possible. Thereby, since the edge part of the storage chamber 30 of 22 A of storage containers will be open | released, it becomes possible to replenish an additive more easily than the said edge part.

  In order to further facilitate the replenishment work of the additive, input tools 81 and 82 as shown in FIG. 16 may be used. The loading tools 81 and 82 are a holding-side loading tool 81 having a substantially U-shaped cross-section opening on the upper surface, and an extrusion-side loading tool for pushing the additive filled in the holding-side loading tool 81 into the storage chamber 30. 82. The holding-side loading tool 81 is formed with an outlet portion that is open at one end, and the outlet portion has a dimension that allows entry from at least the end portion of the storage chamber 30.

  Therefore, after filling the holding side loading tool 81 with the additive, the outlet side of the holding tool 81 is directed to the end of the storage chamber 30, and in the state of entering inward, by the extrusion side loading tool 82, The additive in the holder 81 is pushed into the storage chamber 30. Thus, the additive replenishment operation can be performed reliably and hygienically without spilling the additive around the periphery.

  In addition, it is preferable that the additive replenished in the storage chamber 30 is stored at least from the end portion to the inside by the dimension of the piston member 41.

  After replenishment of the additive, the handle 77 of the lid member 40 is again gripped and the lid member 40 is closed. Then, the handle 77 is further moved toward the addition chamber 31 by the size of the piston member 41. Thereby, the end of the storage chamber 30 is closed by the piston member 41. Thereafter, the lid member side handle 77 and the main body side handle 71 are gripped in a superposed state, and these are moved rearward from the front side to the pressing device 24 side with the central axis of the plunger 10 or an axis parallel thereto as the rotation center. The container chamber 30 is made substantially parallel to the freezer door 8 so that the other side of the container chamber 22A faces the pressing device 24. That is, the second rotation angle position is set as described above. In this case as well, the container body 22A is detected by the additive storage container detection sensor 80 in the control device C because the container body 22A is positioned at the second rotation angle.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the handle 71 provided on the container body 22A and the handle 77 provided on the lid member 40 are gripped to rotate the container 22 and open / close the lid member 40. Since the desorption operation is performed, it is possible to perform the operation without directly touching the container 22. Thereby, it becomes possible to provide a frozen dessert hygienically.

  In this embodiment, the handle provided on the container 22 is provided on both the container main body 22A side and the lid member 40 side. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the strength of the lid member 40 is increased. By adopting the structure, the same effect can be obtained even if a handle is provided only on the lid member 40 side.

  Next, the additive extraction operation will be described. Based on the output of the extraction switch 58 of the control panel 45, the control device C causes the encoder 29 to rotate the motor 28 forward for a predetermined preload time to perform a preload operation.

  At this time, the control device C allows the operation of the pressing device 24 only when the additive storage container detection sensor 80 detects that the container 22 is at the second rotation angle position. And Thereby, since the pressing device 24 can be operated in a state where the container 22 is securely attached, the pressing device 24 can be operated safely.

  Thereby, the extrusion rack 26 of the pressing device 24 moves to the additive storage container 22 side, and the extrusion portion 25 provided at the tip of the extrusion rack 26 is engaged with the engagement portion of the piston member 41 by the driving force of the motor 28. 42 is pushed. Here, since the engaging portion 42 of the piston member 41 is made of a material having flexibility, the engaging portion 42 is easily spread out, and the pushing portion 25 enters and abuts and engages therewith. Furthermore, when the extrusion rack 26 moves forward toward the container 22 by the driving force of the motor 28, the piston member 41 engaged with the extrusion portion 25 is pushed into the accommodation chamber 22 by a predetermined amount, and the motor 28 stops. To do. Thereby, additives such as pulp stored in the storage chamber 22 are pushed and collected in the direction of the addition chamber 31. Note that when the motor 28 is driven by the preload operation, the control device C operates the buzzer 62 as a notification unit to perform a preload operation to the user, and then performs an additive extraction operation. Notify that it will start. Thus, the preload operation is finished. By the preload operation, the engagement between the engaging portion 76 of the lid member 40 and the notch 41A of the piston member 41 is released.

  Next, the control device C executes the extraction operation together with the end of the preload operation. In the present embodiment, in the extraction operation, first, the buzzer 62 is sounded three times. Along with the third buzzer sounding, the motor 29 is rotated forward by the encoder 29 again for a predetermined extraction time. In accordance with the third buzzer ringing, the user pushes down the frozen confection take-out lever 11 and executes the extraction of the frozen confectionery. The extraction time is assumed to be the time required to extract one frozen dessert.

  Thus, the frozen dessert is extracted from above into the addition chamber 31 of the additive storage container 22, and the pulp as the additive is extracted from the side storage chamber 30. In the addition chamber 31, the pulp is attached to the frozen dessert, and the frozen dessert in which the pulp is uniformly attached is extracted from the lower gate member 33. Therefore, the user can provide a frozen dessert that promotes appetite by receiving spirally the frozen dessert in which the additive is attached to a corn cup or the like.

  In the control device C, the extraction operation proceeds and the shielding plate 26A of the extrusion rack 26 blocks the optical sensor 50, so that the output of the optical sensor 50 becomes HIGH. Based on the output of the optical sensor 50, the control device C rings the buzzer 62 three times again. At the same time as the third buzzer sounds, the motor 28 is stopped by the encoder 29, and the extraction of the additive is completed. The user pushes up the frozen dessert take-out lever 11 in accordance with the third buzzer ringing, and ends the extraction of the frozen dessert. In the present embodiment, an additive equivalent to one frozen dessert is stored in the storage chamber 31, and all the additives in the storage chamber 31 are discharged by performing the extraction operation for a predetermined time. Will be.

  Thereby, since the user is notified by the buzzer 62 of the extrusion start and extrusion end of the additive by the pressing device 24, the control system on the side of the frozen dessert manufacturing device SM and the control system of the addition device 20 need not be linked. In addition, the extraction of the frozen dessert according to the notification of the buzzer 62 makes it possible to realize the reliable addition of the additive to the frozen dessert. Therefore, the electric circuit can be simplified and can be easily applied to the existing frozen dessert manufacturing apparatus SM.

  In this embodiment, the notification means is the buzzer 62. However, for example, the extraction operation timing may be instructed by sound such as “1, 2, 3” or lighting of one or more lamps. To do.

  After completing the extraction operation as described above, the controller C causes the buzzer 62 to ring again for a predetermined time, for example, 2 seconds after the start of the third buzzer ringing, and then reverses the motor 28 by the encoder 29. Rotate. Thereby, the extrusion rack 26 moves backward toward the adding device main body 23 side. At this time, the push-out portion 25 attached to the tip of the push-out rack 26 is similarly moved backward, and the piston member 41 engaged with the push-out portion 25 is also moved backward similarly.

  Here, since the engaging part 76 configured to extend downward is located at the end of the lid member 40 of the additive storage container 22 on the side of the adding apparatus main body 23, the retreating operation of the piston member, The notch 41 </ b> A formed in the piston member 41 is engaged with the engaging portion 76, thereby preventing the piston member 41 from retreating outward. Therefore, the engagement portion 42 of the piston member 41 that has flexibility and is engaged with the pushing portion 25 is released by the flexibility, and the engagement portion 42 remains on the accommodation chamber 30 side, Only the extruding part 25 moves backward to the adding device main body 23 side.

  Thereby, it becomes possible to smoothly perform the pushing-out of the additive by the advancement of the piston member 41 and the pressing device 24 and the residual operation of the piston member 41 at the time of the backward movement. At this time, due to the retraction of the piston member 41, the engaging portion 76 of the lid member 40 enters the notch 41A of the piston member 41 and is engaged therewith. Therefore, as described above, the piston member 41 is removed from the storage chamber 30 when the lid member 40 is opened.

  When the extrusion rack 26 moves backward and the shielding plate 26A of the extrusion rack 26 blocks the optical sensor 51, the control device C stops the driving of the motor 28 and causes the buzzer 62 to sound. The user is notified that the extrusion rack 26 has moved back to the standby position, and is prepared for the next additive extraction.

  Thus, since it is set as the structure which extracts an additive to the frozen confectionery extracted by the addition apparatus 20 of this invention, it passes the inside of the addition chamber 31 by accommodating a desired additive in the additive storage container 22. The additive can be smoothly added to the frozen dessert. Therefore, in addition to the sauce prepared for the additive in advance, such as a topping sauce, fresh fruits and other ingredients are chopped and stored in the storage chamber 30 of the additive storage container 22 on the spot where the frozen dessert is provided. This makes it possible to use fresh ingredients as an additive for frozen desserts. As a result, other types of frozen desserts can be provided, and sales variations can be expanded.

  Moreover, since the piston member 41 has sealed the edge part on the opposite side to the addition chamber 31 of the storage chamber 30, it can prevent that an additive leaks from the said edge part. Furthermore, even if the axes of the storage chamber 30 and the pressing device 24 are slightly deviated, the displacement can be absorbed by the contact relationship between the piston member 41 and the pressing device 24. Therefore, the additive in the storage chamber 30 can be smoothly pushed out to the addition chamber 31.

  Furthermore, since the piston member 41 that pushes the additive into the addition chamber 31 is configured separately from the pressing device 24, it is possible to avoid the inconvenience that the additive directly touches the pressing device 24. . Therefore, only the member that can be removed from the additive device main body 23, that is, the member that comes into contact with the additive can be cleaned only by cleaning the additive container 22 and the piston member 41. Thereby, it becomes possible to perform hygiene maintenance easily. Moreover, even when the additive is changed as desired, the inconvenience of mixing the previous additive can be avoided, and a frozen dessert appropriately added with the desired additive can be provided. Become. Furthermore, by using a plurality of the additive storage containers 22 and exchanging them, it is possible to easily add other types of additives to the frozen dessert and provide the frozen dessert.
