A first basket lifting device 108 that lifts and lowers the boiled noodles at a position corresponding to the first boiled noodle throwing device 14, and this first basket lifting device 108 has a chain 10 that moves up and down.
The basket 5 is placed on a base plate 110 that is raised and lowered by
The lower end portion 101A with rollers of the support rod 101 that supports
1 is raised, and the lower end part with rollers 01A of the support rod 101 rolls on the guide plate 111 formed on the side of the first boiled noodle input device T114 in the device by the tact movement by the opening device 106. With this configuration, the basket 50 can be transported to the first boiled noodle input device 14 side in an elevated state.

That is, the boiling device 13 is configured to transfer noodle strings for one serving of "udon" or "soba" made by the first or second noodle making machine 1 or 12 via the conveying device 11A or 12A. The storage basket 50 (udon noodle storage basket 50A or soba noodle storage basket 5
0B), the opening device 106 is driven corresponding to the boiling time, and at the same time the vibration applying device 107 is activated.
The structure is such that the storage basket 50 is vibrated by the operation of the storage basket 50, and the noodle strings in the storage basket 50 are loosened and moved around intermittently to be boiled by the boiling water W-H in the boiling water tank 100. It is.

In this case, in order to make the boiling holes for Udon J and Soba J at the same position, the first 11 noodle machine 11 that makes noodles that take a long time to boil is far from the boiling position A. The second noodle making machine 12, which makes noodle noodles with a short boiling time, is placed near the boiling position A, and when it comes to the boiling position iJA, As shown in FIG. 2, when the udon storage basket 50A is positioned corresponding to the first 11 noodle machine 11 that makes noodles, for example, "soba" The soba storage basket 50B is placed at a position corresponding to the second noodle making machine 12 that makes noodles, and the udon storage basket 50A is placed at the 16th position from the position corresponding to the first noodle making machine 11. The boiling position A is the ninth position of the soba storage basket 50B from the position corresponding to the second noodle making machine 12.

That is, the udon storage basket 50A reaches the boiling position A by moving in 15 tacts by the opening device 106, and the soba storage basket 50B reaches the boiling position A by moving in 8 tacts by the opening device 106. It is now possible to reach position fiA.

In this state, when the basket 50 storing the noodle strings approaches the boiling position A, the first basket lifting device 108
is activated, the basket 50 is raised via the support rod 101, lifted out of the boiling water tank 100, and conveyed to the I-th boiled noodle feeding device 14 side.

By the way, boiling water is replenished into the boiling water tank 100 by a water heater 120, as shown in FIG.

This hot water supply device 120 has first and second electromagnetic valves 122 and 1 connected from a hot water supply pipe 121 to the upper part of the boiling water tank 100, respectively.

The basket 50 is configured to correspond to the basket 50 that moves intermittently around the boiling water tank 100.

That is, the hot water supply device 120 injects boiling water over the noodle strings stored in the limited size basket 50 over a certain period of time by controlling the operation of the first and second solenoid valves 122 and 123. By doing so, the noodle strings in the basket 50 are agitated as if swimming in the boiling water tank 100, increasing the boiling efficiency, and the boiling water in the boiling water tank 100 is absorbed by the noodle strings, or the noodle strings are Even when the noodle is not boiled, it is constantly replenished according to the amount of water that evaporates and decreases. However, for example, due to the elution of starch and salt contained in the noodle strings, the penetration power of the boiling water into the noodle strings is reduced. It is designed to have a purifying effect that prevents delays in boiling speed due to weakening.

Further, in the figure, 126 is a drain pipe connected to the bottom of the boiling water m1oo via a third electromagnetic valve 127, and 128 is a level detection switch for detecting the upper limit level of the boiled water in the boiling water tank 100. , 29 is a second level detection switch that similarly detects the lower limit level of boiling water in the boiling water tank 100.

These switches 128 and 129 are configured so that the position of the float can be detected by a proximity switch, and the water supply device 120 stirs and sprays water onto the noodle strings.
Alternatively, when the boiled water in the boiling water tank 100 exceeds the upper limit level due to replenishment through evaporation or the like, this state is detected by the first level detection switch 128, and the first or second solenoid valve 122. The third electromagnetic valve 127 is opened for a certain period of time to drain the boiled water from the boiling water tank 100. At the same time as the hot water is discharged through the hot water pipe 126, the udon scraps accumulated at the inner bottom of the boiling water tank 100 are removed.
Boiled water is purified by removing sediment such as buckwheat crumbs.

Further, the second level detection switch 128 detects the state when the boiled water in the boiling water tank 100 is below the lower limit level, and the second level detection switch 128 detects the state when the boiled water in the boiling water tank 100 is lower than the lower limit level, and controls the first and second electromagnetic valves 1
By opening the valves 22 and 123, the control is performed so that boiling water can be replenished into the boiling water tank 100.

Note that while the boiled water in the boiling water tank 100 is being drained, the timing for closing the third solenoid valve ↓27 is determined by the timing of closing the third solenoid valve ↓27.
The first level detection switch 128, which operates when the boiled water in the boiling water tank 100 exceeds the upper limit level, was used.
A second level detection switch 129 may be used which operates when the boiled water in the boiler falls below the lower limit level, and the amount of boiled water replenished by the hot water supply device 120 may be replenished more gradually than the decreasing amount. For example, it is possible to further enhance the purification effect of the boiled water in the boiling water tank 100.

In this way, the noodle strings are boiled by the boiling device 13 and the boiled noodles P in the basket 50 have reached the boiling position A.
are thrown into a boiled noodle storage basket 70 on the side of the boiled noodle washing device 15, which will be described later, by the first boiled noodle throwing device 14.

FIGS. 20 and 21 are flowcharts 1- showing control operations by the CPU 40. FIG.

That is, when a sold-out signal for "udon" is input from the processing control device 42 in step S1, the sold-out indicators 4A and 4C are lit in step S2, and the ordering of "udon" is stopped in step S3. In step S4, the management notification device 43 is operated to notify the administrator of the abnormality, and the process proceeds to step S5.

In addition, if the sold-out signal for "udon" is not input in step S1, it is determined in step S5 whether or not the sold-out signal for "soba" is input from the processing control device 42, and if it is input, In step S6, the sold out indicator 4B,
4D is illuminated, and in step S7, the order for "soba" is stopped, and in step S8, the management notification device 43 is operated to notify the manager of the abnormality, and the process proceeds to step S9.

In this step S9, it is determined whether or not the ``udon'' and ``soba J'' selling signals have been input, and if the both selling signals have been input, the screen display 6 is operated in step S14. .

On the other hand, in step S9, if both the "udon" and "soba" selling signals are not input, the process advances to step S10, and it is determined whether or not the "preparing" signal is input from the processing control device 42. If there is an input, the process proceeds to step S14, where the screen display 6 is operated to display "Preparing" in the same manner as described above, and the operation according to step S15 is performed.If there is no input, the process proceeds to step S14. In step S1l, input of defective weight data is checked.

If the weight defect data is input from the processing control device 42 in this step Sll, the process advances to step S24; if there is no input, the process advances to step S12, and the coin or banknote is transferred to the coin processing device 7 and the banknote/card processing device 8. - It is checked whether or not a medium such as a card has been inserted, and if it has been inserted, it is determined in step S13 whether or not the amount can be sold,
If it is determined that the item can be sold, the process proceeds to step 3168.

Further, if no medium is inserted in step S12, or if it is determined in step S13 that the amount is impossible to sell, the process advances to step S27.

If it is determined that it is possible to sell in step S13, step 81
6 to step S19, the customer selects the selection switch 4A~
It is determined whether 4D has been selected, and the order data for the selected noodles is stored in the order memory 41 in steps S20 to S23, and the process returns to step S1. Also,
At this time, if the customer does not perform a selection operation in steps S16 to S19, the process advances to step S27.

On the other hand, when defective weight data is input in step Sll, it is determined in step S24 whether the defective data is "udon" or not.
Make sure it's "soba".

If it is "udon", in step S25 it is "warm udon" or "
If the data is "soba", it is determined in step 826 whether the data is "warm soba" or "cold soba".

Then, if it is determined in step S25 that it is "cold udon",
In step S20, the order data for "cold udon" is stored in the order memory 41, and when it is determined that the order is "warm udon", the order data for "warm udon" is stored in the order memory 41 in step S21. Further, if it is determined in step 826 that the order is "cold soba", the order data of "cold soba" is stored in the order memory 41 in step S22, and if it is determined that it is "warm soba", the order data of "warm soba" is stored in the order memory 41 in step S23. ” is stored in the order data.

That is, when defective weight data is input from the processing control device 42, the ordered noodles based on the defective weight data are stored in the order memory 41.

In step S27, it is determined whether or not a machining command request signal has been input from the machining control device 42, and if so, in step S28 it is determined whether or not there is order data in the order memory 41.

If there is order data, the earliest order data among the order data stored in the order memory 41 is output to the processing control device 42 in step S29. When the sending signal is input from the processing control device 42 in step S30, in step S31, the order data in the order memory 41 output in step S29 is erased, and the process returns to step S1.

Further, if the processing command request signal is not input in step S27, if there is no order data in the order memory 4 in step S328, or if the sending signal is not input from the processing control device 42 in step S30, step S1 Return to

That is, when a customer inserts two predetermined coins or a medium such as a card and selects noodles, such a reception equipment worker sequentially stores the order data of the selected noodles in the order memory 41. Memory and processing control device 4
Based on the request from 2, the order data stored in the order memory 41 is sequentially output to the processing control device 42, and weight defect data is input from the processing control device 42. In this case, the order data for the corresponding noodle is stored in the order memory 41 regardless of the selection operation.

By the way, FIGS. 22 and 23 are flowcharts showing the screen display control operation of the screen display 6 in the reception device 1.

That is, in step S41, "
Until the "Ready Complete" signal is input, the "Preparing" signal is displayed as "Screen A" shown in FIG. 24 (A) in step S42.
is displayed.

When the "ready" signal is input in step S41, the system enters a sales standby state (customer waiting state), and step S43
In "Screen B-1 display", for example, "Fukiage-tei" which is a commercial for the store shown in FIG.
5, "Screen B-2 display", for example, the product information shown in Figure 24 (c), "Please enjoy delicious udon and soba"
, After the predetermined time in step 846 has elapsed, in step S47, "Screen B-3 is displayed", for example, the reception information shown in FIG. is switched and displayed, and the process advances to step S48.

After a predetermined time has elapsed in step 848, it is determined in step 849 whether or not a medium such as a card, bill, or coin has been inserted by the customer. If a medium has been inserted, the process proceeds to step S50, and the medium is is not input, the process returns to step S43 and step 8
The operations from 43 to S49 are repeated.

In step S51, it is determined whether or not the medium has been inserted within the time-up period in step 844. If the medium has been inserted, the process advances to step S50, and if the medium has not been inserted, the process returns to step S43.

In step S52, it is determined whether or not the medium has been inserted within the time-up period in step S46.

If the medium has been inserted, the process advances to step S50; if the medium has not been inserted, the process returns to step S545.

In step S53, it is determined whether or not the medium has been inserted within the time-up period in step 848. If the medium has been inserted, the process advances to step S50, and if the medium has not been inserted, the process returns to step S47.

In this way, when the medium is inserted, step S5
0, it is determined whether the balance of the card or the banknotes or coins is at a sellable price. If it is less than the selling price, in step 854, "Screen C display", for example, FIG. 24 (
``Welcome'' shown in e) is displayed to inform the customer that the media input by the customer is less than the selling price. At this time.

In step S55, if the missing medium is added within the time-up period, the process returns to step S50 and it is determined whether the price is such that it can be sold further. This step S
55 controls the display time of "screen C display" in step S54.

If the inserted medium is at or above the selling price in step S50, "screen display" is performed in step S56.

For example, the message ``Welcome, please press the button of your choice'' as shown in Figure 24 (f) is displayed to prompt the customer to operate the selection switch.

Then, the customer operates the selection switch in step S5.
If the product selection signal is input as determined in step S58, the process advances to step S58.

Step 858 determines whether the product selected by the customer can be sold, that is, whether or not a sales interruption signal has been input from the processing control bag fi42. If not, step S59 is performed. ``Screen E display'', for example, as shown in FIG. Output of order signal,
After outputting a meal ticket issuing signal to the card issuing device 9 in step S61, the process proceeds to step S62.

Step 62 is to judge whether there is an additional sale of the product by the customer. If there is no additional sale, it is judged in step S63 whether or not there is a balance of the coins or banknotes inserted in step S50, and the remaining amount is If there is, the medium of the amount corresponding to the remaining amount is paid out in step S64, and the process returns to step S43 again to display the same standby screen as described above, and if there is no remaining amount in step S63,
Return directly to step S43.

Further, if there is an additional sale in step S62, the process returns to step 556 and the same screen display as above is performed.

On the other hand, in step S55, the display time of "Screen C display" in step S54 is controlled, and if the selling price does not reach the level during the time-up period, the process advances to step S64.
After discharging the inserted medium, the process returns to step S43.

Further, in step S57, the operation time of the selection signal is controlled in step S65, and if the selection signal is not input during the time-up period, the process advances to step S64, and after dispensing the inserted medium, the process returns to step S43. It has become.

Note that the time-up time in steps S44, 46.4B, 55, and 65 is set to about 10 seconds.

Furthermore, when a selection switch is operated after inserting media with a price higher than the selling price, a predetermined number of the selected products have been ordered (
For example, if 10 servings each of r udon and soba noodles are being processed and cooked, that is, if a sales interruption signal has been input from the processing control device 42 in step S58, then in step S67 For example, Figure 24 (
The message "Congested, please wait for a while" as shown in step S67 is displayed, and the time-up period in step S67 is set to about 3 seconds. Furthermore, when the time has elapsed in the "Screen F display" at step 367, the process returns to step 35.6 to continue the state before the selection operation.

FIG. 25 is a block diagram showing a configuration for controlling the supply of containers 80 to the set position (position for serving) C by the container delivery device 17, and numeral 45 in the figure is a CPU as a container delivery control means.

If the container 80 is not stocked in 04F, a sales stop icon is output in step S72 and the process ends.

Then, if the containers 80 are stocked in the first to sixth stockers 504A to 504F in step S70.71, it is determined in step S73 whether or not a tact signal is input, and the tact signal is If it has been input, the memory 46 is advanced and rewritten in step S74, and the process advances to step S75.

In step S75, it is determined whether or not a container delivery signal is input. If it is input, a flag is written and stored in storage area R1 of the memory 46 in step S76, and stored in storage area R1 in step S77. The presence or absence of the flag is determined. Further, if the container delivery signal is not input in step S75, the process advances to step S77;
It is determined whether or not there is a flag in storage area R1.

If it is determined in step S77 that the storage area R1 has a flag, then in step 878 the first stocker 504A
If the presence or absence of a container is determined and the container is stocked, the first stocker 504A is activated in step S79, and the container is delivered onto the delivery table 501 located correspondingly below the first stocker 504A. When there is no flag in the storage area R1 in step S77, the process proceeds to step S80.
If there is no container in the first stocker 504A, the process advances to step S80.

Step s o ci memory 46 storage area R2
If there is a flag in the storage area R2, it is determined in step S81 whether there is a container in the second stocker 504B, and if there is a container in the second stocker 504B. Further, in step 382, it is determined whether or not there is a container delivered and placed from the first stocker 504A side on the delivery table 501 located below the second stocker 504B, and if there is no container, In step S83, the second stocker 504B is operated, and the container is delivered and placed on the delivery table 501 located below the second stocker 504B, and the process proceeds to step S84.

On the other hand, in step S80, it is determined that there is no flag in the storage area R2 of the memory 46, in step S81, it is determined that there is no container in the second stocker 504B, and further in step S82, it is determined that there is no container in the second stocker 504E. If it is determined that there is a container delivered and placed on the delivery table 501 from the first stocker 504A side, the process directly advances to step S84.

This step S84 is performed by determining whether or not there is a flag in the storage area R3 of the memory 46. If there is a flag in the storage area R3, step S85 determines whether or not there is a container in the third stocker 504C. If it is determined that there is a container in the third stocker 504C, the second stocker 504B is placed on the delivery table 501 correspondingly located below the third stocker 504C in step S86.
It is determined whether or not there is a container delivered and placed from the side, and if there is no container, the third stocker 5 is moved in step S87.
04G is activated, the container is delivered and placed on the delivery table 501 correspondingly located below the third stocker 504C, and the process proceeds to step 888.

On the other hand, in step S84, it is determined that there is no flag in the storage area R3 of the memory 46, and in step S85, it is determined that there is no container in the third stocker 504C, and further in step S86, it is determined that there is no container in the third stocker 504C. If it is determined that there is a container placed on the delivery table 501 that has been delivered from the second stocker 504B, the process directly advances to step 888.

This step 888 is performed by determining whether or not there is a flag in the storage area R4 of the memory 46. If there is a flag in the storage area R4, step 389 is performed to determine whether or not there is a container in the fourth stocker 504D. If it is determined that there is a container in the fourth stocker 504D, the third stocker 504G is placed on the delivery table 501 correspondingly located below the fourth stocker 504D in step S90.
It is determined whether or not there is a container delivered and placed from the side, and if there is no container, the fourth stocker 5 is moved in step S91.
04B, the container is delivered and placed on the delivery table 501 located below the fourth stocker 504D, and the process proceeds to step S92.

On the other hand, in step S88, it is determined that there is no flag in the storage area R4 of the memory 46, and in step S89, it is determined that there is no container in the fourth stocker 504D, and further in step S90, it is determined that there is no container in the fourth stocker 5040. If it is determined that there is a container delivered and placed on the delivery table 501 from the third stocker 504G side, the process directly advances to step S92.

This step S92 is performed by determining whether or not there is a flag in the storage area R5 of the memory 46. If there is a flag in the storage area R5, the process proceeds to step 893 to determine whether or not there is a container in the fifth stocker 504E. If it is determined that there is a container in the fifth stocker 504E, the fourth stocker 504D is placed on the delivery table 501 correspondingly located below the fifth stocker 504E in step S94.
It is determined whether or not there is a container delivered and placed from the side, and if there is no container, the fifth stocker 5 is moved in step S95.
04E is activated, the container is delivered and placed on the delivery table 501 located corresponding to the lower cam of this fifth stocker 504H, and the process proceeds to step 896.

On the other hand, in step 592, it is determined that there is no flag in the storage area R5 of the memory 46, and in step S93, it is determined that there is no container in the fifth stocker 504E, and further in step S94, it is determined that there is no container in the fifth stocker 504E. Delivery a! from the fourth stocker 504D side is placed on the delivery table 501 located on the delivery table 501. If it is determined that there is a container, the process directly advances to step S96.

This step S96 is performed by determining whether or not there is a flag in the storage area R6 of the memory 46. If there is a flag in the storage area R6, the sixth
The presence or absence of a container in the stocker 504F is determined, and the sixth
If there is a container in the stocker 504F, in step 398, the fifth stocker 504 is placed on the delivery table 501 correspondingly located below the sixth stocker 504F.
It is determined whether or not there is a container loaded and delivered from the E side, and if there is no container, the sixth stocker 504F is operated in step S99, and the delivery is carried out at the corresponding position below the sixth stocker 504F. The container is sent out onto the table 501 and made to sit. Then, in step S99 again, the delivery table 5 located correspondingly below the sixth stocker 504F is
It is determined whether or not there is a container on 01, and if there is a container, the process is controlled to return to step S70.

On the other hand, in step 896, it is determined that there is no flag in the storage area R6 of the memory 46, and in step S97, the delivery from the fifth stocker 504E side is placed on the delivery table 501 located correspondingly below the sixth stocker 504F. If it is determined that there is a container, the process directly returns to step S70. At this time, if it is determined in step S99 that there is no container, a sales stop signal is output in step 5100, and the process ends.

That is, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 29, when a container is delivered to the delivery table 501 from the first stocker 504A, this container delivery device 17 moves the corresponding delivery table 501 seven times in tact using a tact signal. Accordingly, the arrangement is made to reach the set position C, which is the position of the first stocker 50.
If the delivery of containers from 4A is not confirmed, perform the delivery drive once, for example, twice, and if the container is still not delivered, it is determined that the stocker is empty or there is a malfunction, and the first and second While driving the stocker 504B, the container is delivered and placed on the corresponding delivery table 501, and the container is moved six times in tact (i1) to reach the set position C, which is the plating position. These supply operations are similarly performed in order for the other third to fifth stockers 504C to 504E.

Further, the sixth stocker 504F is used as a spare, and if the containers 80 are no longer being delivered from the fifth stocker 504E, the reception device 1 stops issuing food tickets and each sale is stopped. Off indicator 4A, 4B, 4
C14D is lit to inform the customer that the item is sold out.

That is, the sixth stocker 504F, for example, when an order has already been received and the processing/cooking apparatus 10 is in operation,
During processing and cooking, the first to fifth stockers 504A
In response to a situation in which a container is not supplied from 504E to 504E, a control operation is performed to preliminarily send out a container.

Therefore, the sixth stocker 504F as described above
A first container detection sensor 505 that detects the presence or absence of a container inside
F is set to detect the "presence" of a container when a container several places higher than that capable of storing all the noodles that are being processed and cooked is stored in the sixth stocker 504F.

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above description, the present invention provides a system in which a medium such as money or a card is inserted into a reception means by a customer;
When the selection of noodles to be sold is performed, an order card is issued and an automatic processing and cooking device consisting of a noodle making means, a boiling means, and a boiled noodle cleaning means is operated to process and cook the desired boiled noodles, and the cooked noodles are processed and cooked. The boiled noodles are arranged in a container supplied from the container delivery means and stored in the cooked boiled noodle storage means, and the container containing the cooked boiled noodles is delivered in response to a customer's request for receipt by inserting an order card. Since we will be handing over the noodles by means of delivery, we will handle everything from receiving orders for noodles to making and boiling them.
Cleaning and delivery can be done fully automatically.

Further, the container delivery means is capable of supplying the containers, which are fed upward one by one from the plurality of (N) container feeding devices, to a set position by A2Z onto the plurality of delivery tables that are moved by the transport mechanism. At the same time, each container feeding device is enabled to feed containers preferentially from the farthest position to the (N-1)th position from the set position, and the Nth container feeding device located closest to the set position is used as a backup. Since it is usable, even if the (N-1)th container feeding device becomes empty during cooking or breaks down, the Nth container feeding device will reliably replenish the containers.
