Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to an extraction container containing raw materials, and more specifically, it is mainly used for automatic beverages in which coffee, tea, etc. are hermetically sealed in a container together with a member for extraction. This invention relates to an extraction container containing raw materials used in a vending machine.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as an extraction device for extracting raw materials in an extraction container with hot water to make it drinkable, a coffee storage chamber is provided at the bottom of a hot water receiver, and the coffee is A hot water inlet through which the hot water stored in the hot water receptor passes is formed in the upper and lower plates of the storage chamber, and a material is provided in the hot water outlet provided in the lower plate, and the entire hot water receptor is coated. Coffee storage containers are well known which are characterized by being coated with.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] The conventional technology described above has a hot water outlet on the partition plate of the hot water receptor and the bottom plate of the container, and extracts coffee (raw material) with hot water that has passed through the upper hot water outlet. The raw material extract obtained by passing through the coffee beans is dripped into a coffee bowl through a spout at the bottom for drinking.

In addition, since the coffee raw material on the material needs to be protected from atmospheric moisture that enters through the hot water spout, the entire hot water receptor is covered with a film, so multiple hot water receptors cannot be polymerized and bonded together, so they cannot be stored. There is a problem in that a large amount of space is required for transportation, and since each item must be handled one by one, a separate tray is required for storing and transporting a large number of items.

Furthermore, in use, it is necessary to remove the film that covers the entire hot water receptor, making it extremely difficult to apply it to beverage vending machines, and the film itself and its coating process are required for shipping. There is also the problem that it is disadvantageous in terms of cost and that the product does not look good when sold in stores.

In order to eliminate each of the above-mentioned problems, this invention enables containers to be hermetically sealed by fitting them in stacks one after the other, protecting raw materials from moisture, and allowing for automatic supply and extraction of raw materials. The purpose is to facilitate the disposal of waste.

[Means to solve the problem]

The purpose of this invention described above is to provide an extraction container equipped with an airtight sealing member that closes the opening formed at the bottom;
It consists of a cup-shaped over member that is fitted into the extraction container and contains a certain amount of raw material therein, and an airtight container that is fitted into the extraction container with the over member interposed, and the airtight container is This is accomplished by polymerizing another set of extraction vessels.

[Effect]

The airtight container fitted in the extraction container is taken out from above the drinking container, holes are made in the extraction container, the airtight seal member, and the bottom of the airtight container, and hot water is supplied into the extraction container. The raw material can be extracted with hot water, and the extracted raw material liquid flows down through the passage member into the drinking container at the bottom and can be drunk.

〔Example〕

The raw material extraction container of this invention is made of synthetic resin or processed paper coated with a thin resin film, and has an opening 12 in the bottom 11 with a diameter slightly smaller than the bottom diameter through which the extract flows out, and a side plate 13 tapered toward the opening. an extraction container 1 having a flange 14 formed to protrude outward from its open end;
A bottom plate 21 having approximately the same diameter as the bottom plate 11 and a side plate 22 formed with pleats so that it can be fitted into the extraction container 1 with a cover member made of natural or synthetic fibers, and an open end thereof. The extraction container 1 is made of a cup-shaped over member 2 having a flange 23 formed to protrude outward, and a thin processed paper coated with aluminum foil or resin thin film coated on one side. The bottom plate 3 is approximately equal to the middle inner diameter of
1, a side plate 32 formed so as to be able to fit inside the over member fitted into the extraction container 1, and a flange 33 formed to project outward at the open end of the side plate 32; , and a sheet-like airtight sealing member 4 made of a material such as aluminum foil, which has approximately the same outer diameter as the bottom plate 11 of the extraction container 1 and is polycoated on one side.

As shown in FIG. 1, the extraction container DC containing raw materials of this invention is made by bonding an airtight sealing member 4 under heat and pressure to the outside of the bottom plate 11 of the extraction container 1 so as to close the opening 12, and then Deeply fit the over member 2 into the container 1 until the flanges 14 and 23 of both containers overlap,
A certain amount of coffee beans, which are medium-finely ground for dripping and can be extracted for one person, is placed in the filter member 2 as the raw material 5, and an airtight container 3 is fitted.
The polymerized flanges 14, 23, and 33 portions are heated and pressurized to form a heat-pressed portion HS, and the raw material 5 is hermetically sealed.

In the second embodiment shown in FIG.
3 and 33 are formed slightly longer than those of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, and these portions are curled to form a curl joint CJ and hermetically sealed.

Extraction container DC in which raw material 5 is hermetically sealed
As shown in FIG. 3, a certain number of beverages are stacked and stored in a beverage vending machine (not shown).

The raw material-containing extraction container DC of this invention is constructed as described above, and when in use, it is stored in a beverage vending machine as described above, and when a customer makes a purchase, the opening part 6 of the vending machine and the opening table are opened. 61, one by one as shown in FIG. 4a.

When this extraction is completed, a pair of opening mechanisms 62
Piston rods 64a and 64b are sent from cylinders 63a and 63b using electromagnetic or fluid pressure to the extraction container DC containing the raw material on the drilling stand 61 with hole 61a, and the drilling hole attached to the tip of the piston rod 65a, 65b, Fig. 4b
As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of small holes 34 and 41 are made by inserting the tube into the bottom plate 31 of the airtight container 3 and the airtight sealing member 4.

One of the hole punches 65a descends first and waits while pressing the airtight container 3 to make a hole, and then the other hole drill 65b rises to make the hole. Since the aperture 65b is shaped like an arrowhead, the piston rod 64a rises first after drilling the hole, as shown in FIG. is pulled out to the outside to improve water drainage and to prevent the extraction container DC from lifting.

In this way, when the small holes 34 and 41 for extraction are completed in the bottom plate 31 of the airtight container 3 and the airtight sealing member 4, it is sent to the extraction section 7 as shown in FIG. Hot water is poured into the airtight container 3 from the nozzle 71, and the hot water enters through the small hole 34 of the bottom plate 31 while extracting the raw material 5 in the filter member 2 in the extraction container 1 through the small hole 41 outside the extraction container. flows down to.

This extract is poured into the drinking container 8 which has already been taken out from a container feeding device (not shown) through a funnel 73 integrated with the extraction table 72 having small holes in the extraction part 7.

When one cup of coffee has been extracted, the sweeper 74 operates and discharges the brewing container DC in which the dregs remain from the brewing table 72 into the extraction container collecting tank (not shown). On completion, the beverage vending machine goes into standby state for the next customer.

Note that the extraction container containing raw materials according to this invention can also be drunk by manually dripping the extract from the extraction container DC containing raw materials into the drinking container 8.

[Effect of idea]

Since this invention is configured as described above, it produces the effects described below.

That is, a plurality of raw material-containing extraction containers are polymerized and fitted together, and after separating the raw material-containing extraction containers one by one starting from the end of the polymer, the hot water is poured through a hole drilled in the raw material-containing extraction container. This allows the extract to be dripped into the drinking container 8 and drunk.

In addition, the polymer used in the extraction container containing the raw materials of this invention has shape retention properties by itself, so 10 or more pieces can be prepared at a time.
It is possible to handle extraction containers containing raw materials in units of 20, and most of the extraction containers containing raw materials are fitted into other extraction containers containing raw materials, so the occupied space can be significantly reduced and the appearance of the product is improved. well,
Moreover, since the extraction container DC containing the raw materials is not coated with a film, the raw materials can be extracted and dripped into the drinking container 8 by simply making a small hole in the bottom of the airtight container and the extraction container and pouring hot water into the container. It has many practical effects, such as being easily applicable to vending machines.
