Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a nozzle for a cup-type beverage vending machine that sells soft drinks.

In a cup-type beverage vending machine, a soft drink is produced by pouring cup syrup, water, and carbonated water into a product outlet.

The syrup, water, and carbonated water are discharged from a syrup discharge nozzle, a water discharge nozzle, and a carbonated water discharge nozzle, which are respectively provided toward predetermined positions of the cup.

On the other hand, cups of different sizes may be used depending on the type of beverage.

In this case, each of the discharge nozzles must be moved up and down and adjusted to a position corresponding to the size of the cup.

Syrup discharge nozzles and water discharge nozzles, whose discharge directions are generally the same, are fixed in advance to a single mounting plate, and this mounting plate is moved up and down by a suitable member provided close to above the product outlet. Possibly mounted by screwing.

Since the carbonated water discharge nozzle has a different discharge direction from other discharge nozzles, it is individually pressed against the member with a presser plate, and the presser plate is fixed with screws.

When cups of different sizes are used, the screws fixing the mounting plate and the presser plate are loosened and the discharge nozzle is moved up and down for adjustment.

However, with the nozzle of the beverage vending machine described above, in order to adjust the position corresponding to the size of the cup, the carbonated water discharge nozzle and other discharge nozzles must be adjusted separately, and each time the adjustment is made, the carbonated water The positional relationship between the discharge nozzle and other discharge nozzles must be determined.

Therefore, the adjustment is complicated and takes a long time.

The purpose of this invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks and to provide a beverage vending machine that allows the positions of the syrup dispensing nozzle, water dispensing nozzle, and carbonated water dispensing nozzle to be easily and all at once adjusted according to the size of the cup. Our goal is to provide machine nozzles.

According to this invention, the nozzle of a beverage vending machine is equipped with a syrup discharge nozzle, a water discharge nozzle, and a carbonated water discharge nozzle that respectively supply syrup, ice, and carbonated water to a cup delivered to a product outlet. The syrup discharging nozzle, the water discharging nozzle, and the carbonated water discharging nozzle are integrally formed.

Hereinafter, embodiments of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is a cup delivered to a product outlet of a beverage vending machine, and 2 is a nozzle disposed above the cup 1.

21, 22 and 23 are a plurality of syrup discharging nozzles that are made of stainless steel pipes and constitute the nozzle 2;
They are a water discharge nozzle and a carbonated water discharge nozzle.

These discharge nozzles are integrally formed by welding to a steel plate mounting plate 24 having mounting legs 24a bent so as to be mounted at predetermined discharge angles.

This mounting plate 24 has elongated holes 24c on both sides of the base 24b, and is provided with a rising portion 24d at the upper end.
A bolt 24e is provided to fix it to the holder.

Reference numeral 25 denotes a fixing plate having a rising portion 25a at the lower end, a bolt 25e is inserted into a bolt hole provided in the rising portion 25a, and a nut 26 is screwed into the bolt 25e.

Further, a spring 27 is provided between the upright portions 24d and 25d of the mounting plate 24 and the fixed plate 25 by being inserted through a bolt 25e.

The above-mentioned nozzle 2 is attached to a member 3 provided at an appropriate position above the product outlet in the following manner.

That is, the fixed plate 25 is fixed with screws 28, and the mounting plate 24 is attached with screws 29 passed through the long holes 24c.

By loosening this screw 29 and rotating the nut 26, the mounting plate 24, which is biased downward by the spring 27, can easily move up and down.

The syrup discharge nozzle 21, the water discharge nozzle 22, and the carbonated water discharge nozzle 23 are easily adjusted to predetermined positions according to the size of the cup 1 while maintaining their mutual positional relationship.

Furthermore, these discharge nozzles are securely held in the adjusted position by fixing the mounting plate 24 with screws 29.

Reference numeral 30 denotes a marking line provided on the member 3 as a guide for adjustment. By determining the vertical position of the mounting plate 24 using this marking line 30 as a guide, the adjustment of the discharge nozzle can be performed in a shorter time.

As mentioned above, according to this invention, the syrup discharge nozzle, water discharge nozzle, and carbonated water discharge nozzle are integrally formed, so when each discharge nozzle is moved up and down and adjusted to a position corresponding to the size of the cup. Since each discharge nozzle can be adjusted at the same time and each discharge nozzle moves while maintaining the mutual positional relationship, adjustment work can be easily performed.
