Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the oxidative degeneration of sirup raw materials in a cup type vending machine where sirup materials discharged from a sirup raw material vessel are used for preparation. CONSTITUTION:In the cup type vending machine where sirup raw materials F discharged from a sirup raw material vessel 6 whose housing is made of a paper box are prepared with cold or hot water and are poured into a cup and are discharged, a recessed part 12 is formed in an outer wall 11 of a water bath 3, and the sirup raw material vessel 6 is arranged in this recessed part 12, and therefore, sirup raw materials F are cooled with cold water E in the water bath 3 and the rise of their temperature is suppressed.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cup-type vending machine that cooks raw material dispensed from a syrup raw material container and dispenses the cooked raw material into a cup.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional cup-type vending machine is constructed as shown in FIG. Inside A of the vending machine body, there is a canister 1 stocked with raw material B, a hot water tank 2 that produces hot water C used for cooking, and cold water D used for cooking.
Contains water bath 3, which is used to create water. Cold water D is produced by pumping tap water from a reservoir tank (not shown) into a cooling coil 4 immersed in cold water E in a water bath 3 using a pump 5.

A syrup raw material container 6 is placed in the warehouse A for products using the syrup raw material F, and a pump 7 pumps up the syrup raw material F from the syrup raw material container 6 and discharges it. As the syrup raw material container 6, what is generally called a "back-in-box" is used, which has a cardboard box exterior and a synthetic resin bag containing the syrup raw material F inside.

[0004] The sales operation is carried out as follows. A set amount of raw material B is delivered to the bowl 8 from the canister 1 according to the selected flavor, and hot water C is delivered to the bowl 8 from the hot water tank 2. In the bowl 8, the raw material B is dissolved in the hot water C, and then transferred to the cup station 9 facing the product outlet.
It is poured into cup 10, which is being dispensed.

The above embodiment is a hot beverage sales operation, but in the case of a cold beverage, the syrup raw material F is poured from the syrup raw material container 6 into the cup 10, and the cold water D is poured from the cooling coil 4 into the cup 10. It is poured.

[0006]

[Problem to be solved by the invention] In this way, the inside of the refrigerator A is narrow.
If the syrup raw material container 6 and the hot water tank 2 are placed in a container, there is a problem that the syrup raw material F stocked in the syrup raw material container 6 is oxidized and deteriorated due to the heat generated from the hot water tank 2, and the taste of the beverage deteriorates. .

The present invention provides a syrup raw material container 6 whose exterior is a paper box.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a syrup cooling device capable of reducing oxidative deterioration of syrup raw material F stocked in the factory.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The syrup raw material cooling device of the present invention has a water bath for producing cold water used for cooking cold drinks and a hot water tank used for cooking hot drinks built into the main body of the vending machine. In a cup-type vending machine in which syrup raw material dispensed from a syrup raw material container whose exterior is a paper box built into the vending machine main body is cooked in the cold water or hot water and dispensed in a cup, a recess is formed in the outer wall of the water bath. , is characterized in that a syrup raw material container is placed in this recess.

[0009]

[Operation] According to this structure, the syrup raw material container whose exterior is a paper box is placed in a recess formed in the outer wall of the water bath, and the syrup raw material is cooled by the cold water of the water bath, thereby suppressing a rise in temperature.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. It should be noted that the same reference numerals are given to the parts having the same functions as in FIG. 3 showing the conventional example.

The syrup raw material cooling device of the present invention is constructed as shown in FIG. The water bath 3 is shown in Figure 1 (a
) As also shown in (b), a recess 12 is formed in the outer wall 11, and the syrup raw material container 6 is placed in this recess 12.

With this structure, the syrup raw material container 6 whose exterior is made of paper is cooled by the cold water E stored inside the water bath 3 through the outer wall 11 and cooled by a refrigeration cycle (not shown). Therefore, the temperature rise of the syrup raw material F inside the syrup raw material container 6 can be suppressed.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, a water bath for producing cold water used for cooking cold drinks and a hot water tank used for cooking hot drinks are built into the main body of the vending machine. In a cup-type vending machine in which syrup raw material dispensed from a syrup raw material container whose exterior is a paper box built into the main body is cooked in the cold water or hot water and dispensed in a cup, a recess is formed in the outer wall of the water bath,
Because the syrup raw material container is placed in this recess, the syrup raw material can be cooled with the cold water in the water bath, suppressing the temperature rise of the syrup raw material, preventing the deterioration of the taste of the beverage, and allowing the sale of delicious beverages over a long period of time. can contribute.
