Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION "Field of Industrial Application" The present invention relates to a beverage vending machine, and more specifically to a vending machine for various beverages.

[Prior art] As a beverage vending machine, for example,
As described in Publication No. 8, the concentrated stock solution selected by the customer and the heated or cooled diluted solution are mixed together with sugar and cream in a mixing bowl permanently installed in the machine before being made into a drinking cup. The majority of products are of the type that can be taken out and sold because their operating costs are low.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, it is necessary to store several servings of the undiluted solution, and the preservatives added to preserve them for food hygiene reasons have a slight odor, which makes it difficult to use, especially for recreational drinks. The flavor and aroma of certain coffees may change slightly, and due to the mechanism, some of the purchased beverages may adhere to in-machine equipment such as the mixing bowl, beverage refill bowl, or beverage nozzle, which may be unique to beverages. In addition to the disadvantages that if the color or flavor is slightly changed or if the sales interval becomes long, bacteria may grow or multiply in the liquid that is left at room temperature in the in-machine equipment, which is a hygienic inconvenience. This method has many disadvantages, such as the troublesome operation of the hose and nozzle system, which increases operation costs and manufacturing costs, and disadvantages in terms of space.

[Object of the invention] This invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks, facilitates the storage, supply and maintenance of raw materials, prevents raw materials from adhering to in-machine equipment in a liquid state, and requires a separate oil supply for each raw material. To provide a beverage vending machine in which mixing of raw materials can be eliminated by directly supplying the beverage through a channel into a vending cup.

[Summary of the Invention] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, this beverage vending machine includes a raw material stocker independent for each raw material that stores at least one or more powdered beverage raw materials, and a pen stage from each stocker. This device is equipped with a raw material take-out chute that supplies the selected raw material into the drinking cup taken out above, and a water heater that can directly supply hot water into the drinking cup.

[Configuration of an embodiment of the invention] FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a beverage vending machine 1 of the present invention, in which a display section 4 is provided in the front Ii3 of the vending machine housing 2;
A selection button 5, a charge slot 6, a drinking cup takeout lower, a sugar, milk and stirrer outlet 8, a drinking pot set opening 9 and a change takeout port 10 are provided.

When the front door 3 is closed, this beverage vending machine replenishes water from the water supply via a water supply vibrator including a solenoid valve 11 and a water control valve 12 above the housing 2, as shown in FIG. The receiver includes a water heater 13 that produces hot water, a main cock 14, a plurality of raw material stockers 15 to 18 that independently store raw materials such as granulated or powdered instant coffee, milk, sugar, and juice to avoid moisture, and a drinking cup. A drinking cup stocker 21 to 23 that can be taken out by the purchaser from the take-out lower, a storage case 24 that accommodates the stirrer that can be taken out by the purchaser from the muddler take-out port 8, and A bending stage 28 for setting a drinking cup 25, a water supply hose 30 with an electromagnetic valve 29 that supplies a constant m of hot water from a water heater 13 into the drinking pot 25 placed on the bending stage 28, and a raw material stocker 15.
- 18, a raw material take-out chute 31 that supplies a certain amount of raw material into the drinking cup 25, and the bending stage 2.
The drinking cup sensor 36 detects whether or not a drinking cup is placed on the drinking cup 8.

[Operation of the Invention] The beverage vending machine of the present invention is constructed as described above, and the operation of this vending machine will be described below.

First, when purchasing instant coffee, the customer opens the cup extraction lower door, selects a hot cup 25 from the potable cup stockers 21 to 23, and drinks it. Copset mouth 9
Open the door and place it on the bend stage 28.

Next, after inserting the fee into the fee input slot 6, press the button for instant coffee (hot) from among the selection buttons 5, and from the raw material stockers 15 to 17, granulated or powdered instant coffee, sugar, and milk are loaded. When a certain amount of hot water has been supplied through the raw material extraction chute 31 and into the hot drinking cup 25 through its own passage, a certain meter of hot water is discharged from the water heater 13 by the solenoid valve 29 through the hot water supply hose 30 into the drinking cup 25. injected into.

After this, the door of the drinking pot set opening 9 is opened, the drinking pot 25 is taken out, the door of the outlet 8 is opened, the stirrer is taken out, stirred, and drunk.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention includes an independent raw material stocker for each raw material that stores at least one or more powdered beverage raw materials;
Conventionally, this type of automatic vending machine is equipped with a raw material take-out chute that supplies selected raw materials into the drinking cups taken out from each of the stockers onto the pend stage, and a water heater that can directly supply hot water into the drinking cups. With this invention, the mixing bowl, liquid beverage discharge hose, and nozzle that were always provided in the machine can all be dispensed with at once, and therefore, the generation of bacteria in the contaminated liquid beverage remaining in the mixing bowl, bowl, and nozzle can be eliminated. There is no breeding with this invention, and it is hygienic to feed. Furthermore, since there is no need to operate the mixing ball, hose, and nozzle system, operation costs and manufacturing costs can be reduced, and there are many advantages in terms of space.
