Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a tea dispensing device for dispensing green tea, black tea, coffee, etc.

This type of device is applied to automatic tea dispensers, for example.
A cup holder consists of a container placed below a filter that drains tea, etc.

The cup holder is constructed in the shape of a box with an open front, and a passage hole is formed in the top plate of the cup holder to allow the tea water poured from the filter to pass therethrough.

The cup holder is a container in which a cup is stored and placed, and the cup is used to receive tea water or the like.

When tea water, etc. is poured into a cup, a considerable amount of steam is generated, but in the past, this steam would stay in the cup holder until it was full, and as a result, the steam would gradually fill the cup holder. The steam may leak to the back side of the cup and have a negative impact on the electrical components installed in that area, and the steam may condense on the inner surface of the top plate of the cup holder and drip into the newly inserted cup. The problem was that it caused hygiene problems.

In addition, since the cup holder has a filter installed above the container, the cup holder has the disadvantage that splashed water from the filter tends to adhere to the top surface of the container, which can easily lead to unsanitary conditions. .

In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a device for dispensing tea, etc., which can reliably eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional cup holder by improving the structure of the top plate of the vessel.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a front door provided on the front of the automatic tea dispenser so that it can be opened and closed freely.An opening 2 is formed in this front door 1, and a cup holder 3 is provided inside this opening 2.

The cup holder 3 has a box shape with an open front, and is placed on a base 5 such that the opening 4 on the front is removably fitted to the periphery of the opening 2 of the front door 1.

The inner bottom surface of the cup holder 3 is inclined in the shape of a funnel, and the lowest part of the slope is located at the back of the cup holder 3 and near one of the left and right ends, and a discharge port 6 is integrally formed in this part. ing.

This discharge port 6 penetrates the base 5 and projects to the lower surface thereof, and a discharge pipe 7 is connected to the projecting end thereof, and this pipe 7 is introduced at an appropriate location.

In the cup holder, a slatted pedestal 8 is disposed horizontally on the inner bottom of the container 3, and a cup a is placed on the center of the upper surface of the pedestal 8.

Most of the top plate 9 of cup holder 3 is cup holder 3.
A small part of the back side of the waist slopes diagonally downward toward the back of the cup holder. The outlet 10 is located at a portion slightly spaced apart from the outlet 10, and an outlet 10 is integrally formed in this portion.

A filter 11 is provided above the cup holder 3, which is attached to a support shaft 12 derived from a reversing mechanism (not shown), and is configured to be reversed forward and backward by the reversing mechanism.

This filter 11 includes a hemispherical receiver 13 and a hemispherical receiver 13.
3, and a substantially hemispherical filter net 14 housed in the container 3, and a spout 15 is integrally formed at the bottom top of the container 13, and this spout 15 is formed approximately at the center of the top plate 9. It faces the small-diameter passage hole 16.

Note that the cup holder 17 is a tea container placed behind the vessel 3.

Next, the effect will be explained.

The tea confectionery is stored in the filter 14, and the tea confectionery is soaked in boiling water to form tea tea.

Then, this tea water is poured through the spout 15 and the passage hole 16 into the cup a previously installed in the center of the table 8, and at this time steam rises from the cup a.

However, most of the cup holder of the top plate 9 is inclined diagonally downward toward the back of the vessel 3, that is, it is inclined so as to widen and expand toward the opening 4. The steam is guided to the inner surface of the top plate 9 without remaining in the cup holder 3 and is quickly discharged to the outside through the opening 4.

Therefore, unlike in the conventional case, steam does not leak from the cup holder to the back side of the container 3 and adversely affect electrical components and the like.

Furthermore, even if some of the steam condenses on the inner surface of the top plate 9, the condensed water will be moved to a position that avoids the installation part of the cup a based on the slope of the top plate 9, that is, at the outlet 10. It flows to the surrounding area, and from this part the cup receiver drips directly onto the inner bottom of the vessel 3 and is discharged through the outlet 6 and the discharge pipe 7.

Therefore, condensed water will not be inadvertently poured into the cup a, resulting in an extremely hygienic result.

The tea confectionery in the filter net 14 is discarded from the tea into the container 16 by reversing the whole filter 11 after being used several times or after a certain period of time has elapsed.

After discarding, the filter 11 is returned to its original position by reversing the process.

During such inversion/reverse inversion, the filter 11 to the top plate 9
Moisture may be splashed onto the top surface.

However, even if the moisture is scattered in this way, the moisture reaches the outlet 1o due to the inclination of the top plate 9, and from this outlet 10 the cup holder flows into the container 3, and the outlet 6 and the outlet 3 are connected to each other as described above. The water is discharged through the vibrator 7, so that the scattered water does not adhere to or remain on the top surface of the top plate 9, and the top surface can be kept clean at all times.

In addition, the above-mentioned outlet 1o is spaced apart from the back surface of the cup holder 3 without coming into contact with the back surface of the cup holder 3, so that the above-mentioned splashed water does not flow through the above-mentioned back surface and flows directly from the cup holder to the inner bottom of the container 3. do.

When the above-mentioned splashed water flows through the back of the cup holder 3, the back becomes gradually dirty, but in this embodiment, the back is always kept clean because the splashed water does not flow over the back as described above. can be kept.

By the way, when the front door 1 is opened and the cup holder 3 is rotated toward the front using the discharge port 6 as a fulcrum, the cup holder is located at the back of the container 3 and near one of the left and right ends. As a result, the entire cup holder 3 is largely deviated, and the front part of the container 17 is largely opened from the tea, thereby making it possible to take out the container 17 from the tea.

In the above-mentioned embodiments, a tea supplying apparatus is taken as an example, but the apparatus is not limited to tea, and may be one that supplies coffee by, for example, stirring raw material powder of coffee with boiling water.

As explained above, according to the present invention, the cup holder has the top plate of the vessel tilted diagonally downward toward the back, and an outlet is formed at the bottom of the slope, so the cup holder allows steam to escape from the vessel. It can be quickly drained to prevent condensation from leaking to the back side, etc., and even if condensation forms on the top plate, it can be prevented from entering the cup, and even if moisture is scattered from the filter on the top plate, it can be prevented. This has the effect that the top plate can be kept clean at all times by quickly collecting the liquid.
