Description

The present invention relates to a water bottle stock supply device that provides physical reduction of water bottle supply work, work safety, and reduction of delivery cost in handling water bottles delivered to each home or living room.

In the conventional water bottle setting work on the water server, the floor installation surface of the water server is narrow, and it has a rectangular shape surface that is prone to tipping even with a static pressing force of about 1 to 2 kg. Depending on the person's trip and physical condition, it is assumed that the water server may fall down together with the worker, resulting in extremely dangerous workability and installation environment.

JP-A-2020-11762 Patent WO-A1-2012 / 098690

The technology disclosed in Published Document 1 has the following improvements.

The installation state of the water server on the floor is an installation surface with a narrow width and depth, a high installation height, and an installation shape surface that is easy to tip over even with the action of a small pushing force.

The technology disclosed in Published Document 2 has the following improvements.

When the water server is installed on the floor, the position where the water bottle is put into the server is low, but the installation state is narrow in width and depth (assumed from the capacity of the water bottle and the plane area). Therefore, the installation height is such that the equipment position of the water injection and hot water units is high, and the structure is not safe against external forces such as earthquakes.

The techniques disclosed in Published Document 1 and Published Document 2 have the following improvements.

The conventional water server is equipped with only a single water bottle (about 12 little) and does not support continuous and automatic replacement of new water bottles many times.

Since there is no stock space for each delivery destination, it is a cause of increasing the number of deliveries to water bottle delivery companies, which also affects the cost.

The capacity of one water bottle to be delivered is about 12 liters / piece for convenience of delivery and installation work, and for delivery efficiency, multiple water bottles are delivered at the same time, and delivery other than installation on the water server The plurality of water bottles that have been made are stocked in other places, but they are always in the way, creating a dangerous environment for infants and the like.

A water bottle in a stock state has poor environmental friendliness such as indoor temperature and humidity, and is not good for long-term stock storage (proliferation of germs, viruses, etc. in the water bottle).

There is no automatic operation equipment for water bottle replacement, the amount of water is simply judged visually, and if it becomes small, the next water bottle is manually carried in and installed, and a certain amount of time is spent by cooling and operating the heating power switch. It is ready for use.

Regarding the work of installing the water bottle on the server, it cannot be said that the work state when moving the water bottle is easy because the installation location is low, because the human body shape at the time of work is the upright state where the water bottle is hung with one hand. Therefore, it is necessary to grasp the water bottle with both hands for stability, and the water bottle installation work at the next lower server inlet requires centering operation with the server installation location, so it is necessary to center the water bottle with both hands. It is inevitable to grab the bottle, and when installing it on the server, the posture of the human body becomes bent and the body tends to be overwhelmed.

The supply of water bottles is covered by the delivery of the water supply manufacturer, and it is assumed that there are two main types of disposal of used empty bottles: disposal by the individual user and collection processing on the water supply manufacturer side. In either case, it is necessary to store empty bottles for a certain period of time, but there is no water server that also stores empty bottles in the technologies disclosed in Published Document 1 and Published Document 2.
The present invention has been invented by solving the above problems and adding proposals.

In order to solve the above problems, the water bottle stock supply device of the present invention requires one water bottle in sequence from the stocker inlet, which is easy to load, to activate the water bottle feeding device, and one in the stocker. Stock a large number of water bottles.
Next, the stocked water bottles are automatically supplied from the stocker to the water server one by one by removing the empty water bottles that are consumed by the water bottles installed in the water server.
By detecting the emptyness of the water bottle on the water server by a sensor or visual confirmation, an alarm for empty water bottle is output and displayed in advance, and the supply of the next water bottle is promoted.
The outer peripheral surface of the stocker is covered with a heat insulating material to insulate it from the outside, and the water bottle in the stocker is cooled to prevent the growth of germs, viruses, etc. in the water bottle.

A stocker is provided on either the left or right side of the server body, water bottles are stocked, and empty water bottles after use are stocked sequentially from the end of the stocker after each use, so that the stock location of the empty bottle and the water bottle Combines.

By integrating the stocker with the server body, a new water bottle is delivered, and each time a new water bottle is stocked from the rear position of the empty bottle in the stocker, the empty bottle is pushed out onto the new water bottle. By taking out empty bottles and requesting the collector to collect them each time, the stock of water bottles and the discharge of empty bottles are performed at the same time.

By integrating the water bottle stock supply device of the present invention with the water server, the water server installation surface can be enlarged to prevent the water server from tipping over when the water bottle is set or due to other contacts.

By stocking a plurality of water bottles in the water bottle stock supply device of the present invention, the water bottle set does not need to be used for a certain period of time until the stock quantity of water is consumed. It is also good, or it is possible to outsource to a delivery company.

If the water bottle stock supply device of the present invention is provided with the necessary sensors to adopt a fully automatic operation method, the water bottle stock supply device can be operated according to the instructions of the water bottle stock supply device, and the labor can be reduced to perform the water bottle supply work.

If the water bottle stock supply device of the present invention is provided with the necessary sensors to adopt a fully automatic operation method, it is possible to instruct the operator by voice from the water bottle stock supply device.

By providing the sensor required for the water bottle stock supply device of the present invention, if a fully automatic operation method is adopted, panel display guidance such as stock quantity, water temperature on the water server, and water quantity can be performed.
