Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase the numbers of the kinds of cold drink by connecting and linking the jetting end of a cold water supply pipe halfway with a soda water supply pipe, thereby increasing the number of nozzles for syrup, which is arranged above a cup together with the nozzles for the soda water and for cold water. CONSTITUTION:The tip of the supply pipe for cold water 6 is halfway connected and linked with the nozzle 4a at the tip of the supply pipe for soda water 4. When a cooling drink is sold, syrup is supplied from the prescribed nozzle for syrup to the cup 5 and also sold water and cold water which are respectively supplied with the supply pipe for soda water 4 and the supply pipe for cold water 6 so as to be mixed halfway and injected to the cup 5 with the nozzle 4a. The cold drink is prepared inside the cup 5 and provided to a customer. Thus, the arrangement space of the nozzle for cold water is omitted at the time of arranging the respective nozzles above a vent-stage. Therefore, the nozzle for syrup is extended in the opening space so that the number of the kinds of syrup are increased.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a beverage supply device for a cup type beverage vending machine which supplies carbonated water, cold water and syrup to a cup delivered to a bend stage to prepare and sell a soft drink.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A beverage supply device of this type is known as shown in FIG. In the figure, 1 is a water supply pipe connected to a water supply source such as a water pipe, 2 is a carbonator which is provided in a cooling water tank 3 and which is supplied with water through the water supply pipe 1 to generate carbonated water, and 4 is carbonated water of the carbonator 3. Is supplied to the cup 5 on the bend stage via the nozzle 4a at the tip, the carbonated water supply pipe 6 is connected to the water supply pipe 1, and is provided through the cooling water tank 3 and is connected via the nozzle 6a at the tip. A cold water supply pipe for supplying cold water to 5, a syrup tank 7 and a syrup 8 by a pressure of a pressurized gas applied to the syrup tank 7, which is cooled in a cooling water tank 3 on the way to a cup 5 via a nozzle 8a at the tip. It is a syrup supply pipe for supplying. A large number of sets of the syrup tank 7 and the syrup supply pipe 8 are installed with the diversification of soft drinks to be sold.

In the above-described structure, in the drink vending machine, the cup 5 is first sent to the bend stage in response to a sales signal. Next, the electromagnetic on-off valve 9 provided in each supply pipe of the beverage supply device is opened for a predetermined time, and a predetermined amount of syrup, carbonated water and cold water are injected into the cup 5 from the nozzles of each supply pipe and mixed with each other. A soft drink is prepared. Further, by controlling the electromagnetic valve 9 of either the carbonated water supply pipe 4 or the cold water supply pipe 6 to be closed, a soft drink prepared by mixing carbonated water and syrup or cold water and syrup is prepared. This soft drink is taken out by the customer from the bend stage for each cup.

[0004]

By the way, in the beverage supply device, the nozzles at the tips of the respective supply pipes are arranged such that the syrup, carbonated water and cold water discharged from the nozzles are poured into the cup 5 and the cup 5 is bent. It must be placed so that it does not interfere with the removal from the stage. Although it is necessary to install a large number of nozzles 8a for syrup in order to sell the above-mentioned various kinds of soft drinks, it is difficult to arrange the nozzles due to the above-mentioned conditions, and there is a drawback that the number of nozzles is conventionally limited to a small number. was there.

According to the present invention, the syrup, carbonated water, and cold water discharged from the nozzle are surely poured into the cup, respectively, and the number of kinds of soft drinks to be sold can be increased more than ever before. The purpose is to provide a device.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, in a beverage supply device of a cup type beverage vending machine for supplying carbonated water and cold water to a cup to prepare a beverage, cold water is provided. The discharge end of the supply pipe shall be connected and communicated with the middle of the carbonated water supply pipe.

[0007]

Operation: Carbonated water and cold water are injected into the cup from one nozzle. Therefore, the space for the cold water nozzle is not required above the cup, and the syrup nozzle can be added accordingly.

[0008]

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention.
Portions common to or the same as are indicated by the same reference numerals. In FIG. 1, a cold water supply pipe 6 having an electromagnetic on-off valve 9 in the middle is connected to the middle of a nozzle 4a at the end of the carbonated water supply pipe 4 so that the cold water supply pipe 6 communicates therewith.

In the above structure, when a soft drink is sold, the syrup is supplied from the predetermined syrup nozzle 8a to the cup 5, and the carbonated water supply pipe 4 and the cold water supply pipe 6 are supplied.
Carbonated water and cold water supplied via each of them are combined together on the way and injected into the cup 5 through the nozzle 4a. The soft drink is then prepared in the cup and provided to the customer.
It is the same as in the prior art that the solenoid valve 9 of either the carbonated water supply pipe 4 or the cold water supply pipe 6 is controlled to be closed to obtain a soft drink comprising carbonated water and syrup or cold water and syrup. On the other hand, when the nozzles are arranged above the bend stage, the installation space for the cold water nozzles can be omitted unlike the conventional case. Therefore, the number of syrups can be increased by adding the syrup nozzle 8a to this empty space.

[0010]

According to the present invention, in a beverage supply device of a cup type beverage vending machine for supplying carbonated water and cold water to a cup to prepare a beverage, the discharge end of the cold water supply pipe is in the middle of the carbonated water supply pipe. Since the syrup, carbonated water, and cold water discharged from each nozzle are surely injected into the cup, it is possible to add and sell a syrup nozzle arranged above the cup. The number of soft drinks can be increased.
