a vibration imparting device [107] consisting of a chain body with rollers 107A that imparts vibration to the noodles; a first basket lifting device [108] that lifts and lowers each of the baskets 50 at a position corresponding to the first boiled noodle throwing device 14; This I-th basket lifting device 108 includes a chain 109 that moves up and down.
The basket 50 is placed on the base plate 110 which is raised and lowered by
The lower end portion 101A with rollers of the support rod 101 supporting the support rod 101 is placed on the support rod 101.
At the same time, the roller-equipped lower end 10 of the support rod 101 moves on the guide plate 111 formed on the side of the first boiled noodle feeding device 14 in the device by the tact movement by the drive device 106.
By configuring 1A to roll, the basket 50 can be conveyed to the first boiling device 4 side in an elevated state.

That is, the boiling device 3 transfers noodle strings for one serving of "udon" or "soba" made by the first or second noodle making machine 11.12 to the conveying device IlIA or 12A. When the noodles are sent out and put into the storage basket 50 (udon storage basket 50A or soba storage basket 50B) which is maintained in a descending state and immersed in the boiling water W-H in the boiling water tank 100, At the same time when the drive device 106 is driven in accordance with the boiling time, the vibration imparting device 1
07 causes the storage basket 50 to vibrate and move intermittently around the noodle strings in the storage basket 50 while loosening them, thereby boiling the noodles from the boiling water W-HL in the boiling water tank 100. It is something that exists.

In this case, in order to set the boiling position A of ``udon'' and ``soba'' at the same position, the first noodle making machine 11, which makes ``r udon'' which takes a long time to boil, is used to make ``Udon'' which takes a long time to boil. The second noodle making machine 12, which is located far from A and makes noodles with a short boiling time, is located close to the boiling point 11A, and when it comes to the boiling point A. In addition, as shown in FIG.
When the udon storage basket 50A is located in the corresponding position,
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 located at the 16th position from the position corresponding to the first noodle making machine 11. The position is set as the boiling position MA, and the ninth position of the soba storage basket 50B from the position corresponding to the second noodle making machine 12 is set as the boiling position A.

That is, the udon storage basket 50A reaches the boiling position A by moving 15 times in tact with the drive device 106, and the soba storage basket 50B reaches the boiling position A by moving 8 times in takt by the drive device 1106. It is now possible to reach position A.

In this state, when the basket 5° in which the noodle strings are stored 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.

That is, the hot water supply device 120 injects boiled water toward the drawing line housed in the basket 50 having a limited size over a certain period of time by controlling the operation of the first and second electromagnetic 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.

Furthermore, 126 in FIG. 1 is a water discharge pipe that is connected to the bottom of the boiling water tank 100 via a third electromagnetic valve 127.

128 is a first level detection switch that detects the upper limit level of boiling water in the boiling water tank 100, and 129 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, respectively, 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 drained through the pipe 126, "udon crumbs" and "udon crumbs" 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 129 detects the state when the boiled water in the boiling water tank OO is below the lower limit level, and the second level detection switch 129 detects the state when the boiled water in the boiling water tank OO falls below the lower limit level, and controls the first and second solenoid valves 1 of the water heater 120
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 at which the third solenoid valve 127 is closed is set to
A first level detection switch 128 is used, which operates when the boiled water in the boiling water tank 100 exceeds the upper limit level.
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 noodles in the basket 50 reach the boiling position A! !

If it is determined that the item can be sold, the process advances to step S16.

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 can be sold in step S13, step S1
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 S6 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.
If it is "Soba", it is determined in step S25 whether the data is "Hot udon J" or "Cold udon", and if it is "Soba", it is determined in Step 826 that Determine whether the data is for ``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. Furthermore, if it is determined in step S26 that it is "cold soba", the order data of "cold soba" is stored in the order memory 4 in step S22, and if it is determined that it is "warm soba J", in step S23, the order data of "cold soba" is stored in the order memory 4. 6. Storing Order Data for ``Warm Soba'' 6 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 is input from the machining control device 42.

If it has been entered, in step 828 the order memory 4 is
It is determined whether there is order data in 1.

Then, if there is order data, step S29
Then, the earliest order data among the order data stored in the order memory 41 is output to the processing control device 42. 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 41 in step S28, or if the sending signal is not input from the processing control device 42 in step S30, the process goes to step S1. return.

That is, when a customer inserts a medium such as a predetermined coin, banknote, or card, and selects a noodle, the reception device 1 sequentially stores the order data of the selected noodle in the order memory 4. is stored in the 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 apparatus I.

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

Proceed to.

Then, after a predetermined time has elapsed in step S48, it is determined in step S49 whether or not a medium such as a card, banknote, or coin has been inserted by the customer. If a medium has been inserted, the process proceeds to step S50, and the medium is If it is not injected.

Returning to step S43, the operations of steps S43 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 S44. 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 S45.

In step S53, it is determined whether or not the medium has been inserted within the time-up period in step 348. 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 S54, screen C is displayed, for example, in FIG.
When the "No need" message shown in (e) is displayed to inform the customer that the media inserted by the customer is less than the selling price, in step S55, the missing media is added within the time-up period. For example, the process returns to step S50 and it is determined whether the price is such that it can be sold further. This step S55 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, a "screen display" is displayed in step S56, for example, "Welcome, please press the button of your choice" as shown in FIG. 111 Prompt the customer to operate the selection switch 6 Then, the operation of the selection switch by the customer is determined in step 857, and when a product selection signal is input, the process proceeds to step 858.

Step S58 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 device 42. If not, step S59 determines whether the product selected by the customer can be sold. ``Screen E display'', for example, as shown in FIG. After outputting the order acceptance signal and outputting the meal ticket issuing signal to the card issuing device 9 in step S61, the process advances 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 S56 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 857, 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 discharging the inserted medium, the process returns to step S43. It has become.

Note that the time-up time in steps S44, S46, S48, S65 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 "udon" and "soba" (10 servings each) are being processed and cooked, that is, if a sales interruption signal is input from the processing control device 42 in step 858, "screen F display" is displayed 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 "r screen 1 decay display" in step S67, the process returns to step 856 and continues the state before the 1 selection operation.

It is determined whether or not there is a container above No. 1, and if there is a container, the process is controlled to return to step S70.

On the other hand, in step S96, 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 51oO, 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. By this, the serving is made to reach the set position C, which is the position of the first stocker 50.
If the delivery of a container from 4A is not confirmed, perform the ejection drive up to two times, for example, and if the container is still not delivered, it is determined that the stocker is empty or there is a malfunction, and the next second By driving the stocker 504B, placing the container on the corresponding delivery table 501, and moving the container six times in response to the tact signal, the serving plate reaches the set position C. These supply operations are similarly performed in order for the other third to fifth stockers 504C to 504H.

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.

In other words, the sixth stocker 504F is 1, for example, when an order has already been received and the processing/cooking apparatus 10 is in operation.
During processing and cooking, the stocker 504A of Steps 5 to 5
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 points above which can store 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 sales amount is selected, an order card is issued and an automatic processing/cooking device consisting of 11 noodle means, boiled noodle means, and boiled noodle cleaning means is activated to process and cook the desired boiled noodles. The cooked 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 received in response to a customer's request for receipt by inserting an order card.
