Japanese Patent Publication No. 56-2757, Korean Patent Registration No. 0153789.

The present invention relates to an unmanned vending machine, and more particularly, to an instant food vending machine that is heated unattended by heating retort food or instant food in a form in which food such as rice, fish cake, curry or porridge is packed in a container. It is about.

Vending machines for instant foods need to be equipped with a function to warm the stored food warmly. For this reason, it is suggested that a heater or the like be provided, but more preferably, a microwave oven is easy to operate and ensures rapid heating. It is preferred as a heating means.

The food vending machine proposed in Korean Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 1996-0032246 is provided with a product storage locker inside a refrigerator with a food exit door, and the outside space of the refrigerator is connected to a thawing, a heating microwave oven, and a hot water tank. The hot water supply mechanism and the product conveying mechanism which connect them are installed, and the goods taken out of the goods storage locker according to the sales instruction are thawed and heated in a microwave oven, and then transferred to the sales shop, where the container is supplied through the hot water supply mechanism. The boiled water is supplied, and the frozen and refrigerated food in which the frozen noodles or the like are stored in the container is cooked according to a cooking process including thawing, heating, and hot water, and then provided to the customer.

However, in the above food vending machine employing a microwave oven as a heating means, a mechanism for introducing a product into the microwave oven and a mechanism for returning the product heated in the microwave to the product supply passage to deliver to the buyer. Of course, there is a problem that the structure is complicated because it must be provided.

The vending machine disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 56-2757 has a door integrated with a turntable with respect to a microwave oven body having an open side, and at the same time, the door extends and fixed directly before the microwave oven. By suggesting a structure installed so as to be slide-moved and supported by a rod, it shows how a product can be put into a microwave oven and provided to a buyer by only opening and closing a door.

The microwave oven of the disclosed configuration has a turntable method in which the product is placed on a rotating table and exposed to microwaves while being rotated. It is pushed by the sliding doors and falls into the microwave, but since the turntable integrated with the door blocks the bottom of the microwave, the product falls onto the turntable and is heated by microwaves. . In addition, the warmed product is held on the tip of the dielectric rod when the turntable is moved while the door is opened, and does not move. However, when the turntable is significantly out of the microwave and cannot support the product, it is dropped to its own weight and provided to the buyer. It is.

Although the disclosed method has the advantage of being relatively simple in structure, the installation width of the dielectric rod is limited to the size that can support falling goods, and the horizontal installation position is also limited to the height that can interfere with the goods at its tip. do. In addition, since the doors are penetrated by the dielectric rods placed under such limited conditions, the size and type of products that can be applied are limited to specific products. To apply other types of products, at least the new door must be replaced. Since the installation position can be adjusted, there are not many kinds of applicable products, so there is a disadvantage that the versatility is low.

Korean Patent Registration No. 0153789 further includes a structure that allows the product to be guided to the microwave well-positioned position in the microwave oven of the above configuration, and does not provide a way to easily adjust the position of the dielectric rod according to the product at all. have.

On the other hand, food storage in the instant food vending machine relies on a configuration in which a large number of columns having vertical spaces are arranged, and an escaping means is provided at the bottom of each column to drop products individually.

The evacuation means is generally composed of a push rod protruding in the radial direction from the outer circumference of the rotary wheel attached to the output shaft of the motor so that one product is taken out and dropped at the bottom of the column every one rotation of the motor.

According to this column structure, the goods loaded up and down receive the total weight of goods loaded on the upper side as a load, and this load increases gradually as the goods are transferred to the bottom, and suddenly when the goods are withdrawn Because it acts as a load, there is a drawback that only the packaging of the product is applicable in the form of a box.

For example, in case of instant rice or instant fish cake, each weight is about 180 ~ 300g, and if 50 ~ 70 pieces are loaded vertically in the column, the load applied to the upper surface of the product placed at the bottom is increased to 9 ~ 21Kg. Done. In addition, since both the instant rice and instant fish cake are packaged with a thin synthetic resin sheet, the product column structure employed in the conventional instant vending machine cannot provide the buyer with the ruptured product because the above sudden load action cannot be alleviated. Buddhas can occur.

In order to solve the problems seen in the above-mentioned conventional food vending machine, an object of the present invention is to perform a series of processes of supplying goods and providing warmed goods to a buyer by opening and closing the door of a microwave oven having a simple structure. In one aspect, there is provided a vending machine for instant food.

Another object of the present invention is stacked in the process of supplying the instant food with a packaging surface sealed up with synthetic resin sheets such as instant rice, rice porridge, fish cake, etc., bursting easily under sudden load, and supplying them to the microwave from the bottom side individually. An instant food vending machine is provided with a product storage column that reduces the sudden load applied to the upper surface of the instant food.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a vending machine for instant food having a warming means for providing a sauce, which is stored in a warmed state, in order to diversify the taste of instant food.

The above object is a microwave oven having a structure in which the goods are supplied in the open position of the door, the microwave is introduced and heated in the closed position, and the heated goods fall to their own weight and are provided to the purchaser when the product is returned to the open position. Can be implemented.

In addition, another object of the above can be achieved by causing the goods on the upper side to fall down with a time difference when the goods are taken out individually at the bottom of the column in which the goods are stacked vertically.

Another object of the above can be implemented to form a separate compartment in the interior of the vending machine, and to have a heating heater at the bottom of the space to warm the source stored in the space.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

1 is an external perspective view of a vending machine according to the present invention, which includes a housing 4 that is opened and closed by a door 2, and the door 2 has a money input means 6 and a controller in the same way as a normal vending machine. (7), the change return means 8, the gate 10 for receiving goods, etc. are shown.

In this embodiment, the inside of the housing 4 is provided with a microwave oven 20, which is the main part of the present invention, and three kinds of product storage columns 40, 60, 80, and at the bottom of the housing 4, receiving the goods. The chute 100 is disposed at a position coinciding with the dragon gate 10.

As shown in FIG. 2, the microwave oven 20, which is a main part of the present invention, is equipped with a magnetron 22 on an upper surface of the bottomless cylinder 21 and microwaves into the cylinder 21 through the waveguide 23. And the side door L-shaped range door 24 is provided on the side of the bottomless cylinder 21.

In more detail, a pair of horizontal frames 25 extend in parallel on both sides of the bottomless cylinder 21, and the range door 24 is provided between the two horizontal frames 25. It is arrange | positioned so that it may be guided by the guide rail 26, and it opens and closes the inlet 27 opened to the side of the said cylinder 21.

In addition, the range door 24 has a fixing frame 28 integrally attached to and fixed to an outer surface thereof, and a rope 30 is bound to a lower side of the fixing frame 28 via a spring 29. On the threshold that forms the lower side of the inlet 27, the retrograde barrier 31 is formed. Moreover, it is preferable to integrally add the guide 32 which converges to the center part of the cylinder 21 to the backing prevention jaw 31.

As shown in FIG. 3, the rope 30 is coupled between the lower ends of the fixing frame 28 to be parallel to the bottom of the range door 24, and is rotated onto the horizontal frame 25 of the range door 24. It extends while winding the outer periphery of the spool 33 which is arrange | positioned once, and the said spool 33 is installed so that forward-and-reverse rotation is possible by the coaxially-connected forward / reverse motor 34.

The microwave oven 20 of the present invention vending machine having such a configuration operates as follows.

When the spool 33 rotates clockwise, for example, in FIG. 3, the rope 30 placed on the left side of the spool 33 is wound around the spool 33. The rope 30 placed on the right side is released and the range door 24 moves to a position that closes the inlet 27 of the bottomless cylinder 21.

On the contrary, when the spool 33 rotates in the counterclockwise direction of the drawing, the range door 24 is pulled while the rope 30 extending to the left of the center line C is unwinded and the rope 30 extending to the right is wound. (27) is moved to the opening position, and during the traction action by the rope 30, the spring 29 buffers the traction force of the rope 30 so that it is always kept in a tense state.

On the other hand, the operation of the microwave oven 20 is that the instant food shown by the dashed-dotted line in the position of the side "L" -shaped range door 24 is open to the inside of the range door 24, such as "ga" It begins by placing it in the “I” position.

That is, when the instant food falls, the stationary motor 34 is driven by a signal of a sensor to be described later to rotate the spool 33 in the clockwise direction of the drawing so that the range door 24 is transferred to the closed position. The instant food placed at the position of “b” is transferred to the position of “c” while being placed at the bottom of the range door 24, and is placed at the position of “ra” which passes over the backlash jaw 31 and becomes the inside of the cylinder 21. . Here, if the guide 32 is added to the check impingement 31, the instant food is placed on the bottom of the range door 24 having a side “L” shape and interferes with the guide 32 while moving to the cylinder 21. Is led to the center of.

When the inlet 27 is closed by the range door 24, the stationary motor 34 is stopped and the magnetron 22 is started.

To this end, in the present invention, the closing detection switch 35 and the microwave starting switch 36 are disposed at the upper end of the inlet 27 of the cylinder 21, and the range door ( As the 24 is closed, the driving stop of the stationary motor 34 and the operation of the magnetron 22 are simultaneously performed.

In addition, microwaves generated by the operation of the magnetron 22 are radiated to the vicinity of the inner central portion of the cylinder 21 via the waveguide 23. For this reason, when the guide 32 is integrally formed in the retrograde barrier 31, the instant food is always guided to the center of the cylinder 21, whereby the effect of being warmed by the microwaves appears uniformly.

The waveguide 23 inclines the wall facing the horn of the magnetron 22 at a predetermined angle θ so as to transmit microwaves emitted from the horn of the magnetron 22 to the cylinder 21 without loss.

In addition, the operation of the magnetron 22 is time controlled by the controller 7 disposed in the door 2 or the like. The magnetron 22 continues for a designated time, for example, 20 to 40 seconds, and then stops. Is programmed to rotate-drive the spool 33 in the counterclockwise direction.

Due to the counterclockwise rotation of the spool 33, the range door 24 opens and returns to its original position. At this time, the ready-to-eat food placed on the bottom of the range door 24 is caught by the backing stop 31 and the cylinder 21 If the range door 24 is opened considerably, it falls to the chute 100 and is provided to the buyer.

In addition, an open detection switch 37 is attached to the controller 7 in a position where the range door 24 is fully opened, and the open detection switch 37 is attached to the horizontal frame 25. Will be entered.

The microwave oven 20 employed in the vending machine of the present invention is arranged so that the side “L” shaped range door 24 can be opened and closed laterally on the bottomless cylinder 21, and the entrance of the bottomless cylinder 21 is provided. (27) Since it includes a simple structure in which the backing stopper 31 is formed on the lower side, it can be widely applied to any type of instant food regardless of the type or size.

In the vending machine equipped with the microwave oven 20 of the above-mentioned structure, the 1st product storage column 40 which supplies instant food may employ | adopt a means conventionally known in this field.

However, the present invention is provided with a first product storage column 40 shown in Figures 4 to 6 so that packaging containers such as instant rice or instant fish cake can be supplied without damage.

The first commodity storage column 40 of FIG. 4 has a space 41 for stacking instant foods vertically, and a stopper 42 and a guard 43 are disposed on the lowermost inner side of the space 41. On the opposite side, a geared motor 44 with a transmission is supported in an inverted position on the upper side of the bracket 45, and two upper and lower differential plates 46, 47 are provided at the output end of the geared motor 44. The structure is attached coaxially.

Meanwhile, a vertical groove 48 is opened between the stopper 42 and the guard 43, and a part of the sensing lever 49 is exposed to the inside of the space 41 through the long groove 48. It is possible to detect the presence of instant food.

The upper and lower differential plates 46 and 47 are provided with upper and lower cut surfaces 50 and 51 on which one circumference is cut off, respectively, as shown in FIG. 5, and these upper and lower cut surfaces 50 are symmetric with each other. It is combined in the same center so as to form the upper end length (D1) of the upper side is short and the lower side extends long, and two equal diameters whose upper and lower sides extend in the same length and are symmetrically positioned. The upper portion D2, and the upper side is long and the lower side is shortly extended to form upper and lower diameter portions D3 symmetrically positioned at the upper and lower lower diameter portions D1.

6A is a side cross-sectional view showing a state before operation of the first product storage column 40, wherein the arrangement interval between the upper and lower differential plates 46 and 47 is set to a dimension corresponding to the height H of the instant food. At the beginning of the operation, the upper and lower diameter part D1 is disposed at the lowermost side of the space 41.

Accordingly, the cut surface 50 of the upper differential plate 46 faces the outside of the space 41 of the first product storage column 40 and is placed in a position away from the instant food (dotted and dashed line), while the space 41 The lower differential plate 47 extending inwardly) supports the upper flange portion of the lowermost instant food product from the bottom together with the stopper 42 provided on the opposite side.

When instant food is accumulated in the space 41, the detection lever 49 interferes with the lowermost instant food and turns on the product detection switch 52 contacted at the end thereof. When the product detection switch 52 is turned off, the controller 7 lights up the no-indicator light to indicate that there is no stock. However, since this operation is the same as a conventional vending machine, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

When the purchaser inserts money into the money input means 6 and manipulates a button to select the ready-to-eat food, the controller 7 causes the upper and lower differential plates 46 and 47 to rotate and stop by one gear through the geared motor 44. Control to release one instant food.

In this case, while the rotation of the upper and lower differential plates 46 and 47 proceeds to 90 degrees, the same diameter portion D2 is located at the lowermost side of the space 41, and as shown in FIG. The flange front portions of the upper instant food are held by upper and lower differential plates 46 and 47, respectively.

Next, the upper and lower diameter portions D3 are positioned in the space 41 while the upper and lower differential plates 46 and 47 are rotated from 90 degrees to 180 degrees, so as shown in FIG. 6C. The 46 supports the flange portion of the upper instant food without change, but the cutting surface 51 of the lower differential plate 47 faces immediately outside the space 41, so that the front part of the lower instant food is lower side. It is released from the differential plate 47 and falls, and at this time, the rear part starts to be inclined downward from the front part because it is held for a while by the stopper 42.

Thus, the lower part of the instant food started to fall while the front part is inclined, while the rear part is in contact with the guard 43 while being inclined, the supporting part stays in the air for a while and supports the rear part of the instant food that falls successively.

All of the instant foods loaded in the space 41 fall at the same time as the lowermost instant food exits the space 41, but the upper portion of the instant food placed immediately above the lowest side of the space 41 is the upper difference. As it is caught by the copper plate 46, the rear part is inclined and falls, whereby a sudden load acts in an oblique direction, and a part thereof decreases.

Subsequently, the lowermost instant food is completely released from the space 41 and falls into the microwave oven 20 at the lower side. When the rotation of the upper and lower differential plates 46 and 47 proceeds beyond 180 degrees to 270 degrees, As shown in FIG. 6B, the same diameter portion D2 is positioned in the space 41, and the front portion of the upper instant food is maintained while being supported by the upper differential plate 46, and the lower differential plate 47 is The instant food exits to the lowest side of the empty space (41) and comes to the position to hang the front flange of the next instant food to fall.

Subsequently, when the rotation of the upper and lower differential plates 46 and 47 proceeds to 360 degrees beyond 270 degrees, the upper and lower differential diameter portions D1 are placed on the lowermost side of the space 41, so that they are caught by the upper differential plate 46. The front part of the upper instant food was released, so that the front part of all of the instant food loaded thereon dropped temporarily and the front part of the instant food placed on the lowermost side was hung on the lower differential plate 47. The initial state shown in Fig. 6a is brought to stand by until the next operation,

In the first product storage column 40 described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6, when instant foods stacked in large numbers are vertically drawn out as described above, all the instant foods stacked on the upper side of the lowest instant foods start to descend from the rear part. And the end of the lower portion of the front portion of the instant food, the total weight of the instant food accumulated in the space 41 is applied obliquely through the rear portion with respect to the upper surface of the instant food placed on the lowermost side. As the back part of the side instant food is held and supported, it is applied obliquely through the front part again, and the whole instant food stacked in the space 41 is settled at a time, and a sudden sudden load of a large force is applied to the upper surface of the instant food placed on the lowermost side. There is no application of this, and the wrapped synthetic resin sheet is ruptured, so that no fires are caused to disperse the food contents.

In the present invention, the storage of instant food is not limited to the above-described first product storage column 40.

The second commodity storage column 60 shown in FIG. 7 forms a bottomed space 61 in which the instant food represented by a dashed-dotted line can be stored vertically, one at the bottom of the bottomed space 61. The outlet 62 is opened to a height that can pass only the instant food of the instant food can be taken out to the outside.

On the bottom surface of the space 61, a push block 63 for pushing the lowest instant food to be taken out to the outlet 62 is arranged to be reciprocated horizontally, and both ends are rotatable at the bottom of the bottom. The axially supported traverse shaft 64 is horizontally arranged so that the drive motor 65 is driven in one direction.

On the other hand, the push block 63 has a boss 67 extending downward through the slot 66 formed on the bottom, the boss 67 is penetrated and supported by the traverse shaft 64 to ride a spiral It is possible to move back and forth.

That is, when the drive motor 65 drives the traverse shaft 64 to rotate in a predetermined direction, the push block 63 moves forward as the boss 67 moves on the left screw of the traverse shaft 64 at the starting point. While discharging the instant food located at the lowermost side to the exit 62, and when the end point is reached, this time, by driving backward on the right screw of the traverse shaft 64 to return to the original position and wait until the next operation.

In the second product storage column 60 configured as described above, a detection lever 68 interfering with the instant food is disposed around the lowermost side to operate the product detection switch 69 on and off, and the product detection switch 69 is provided. The signal of is input to the controller 7 to grasp the stock of the ready-to-eat food is the same as in the first product storage column 40.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing the structure of the main part of the third product storage column among the components shown in FIG. 2, wherein the illustrated third product storage column 80 is a box-shaped casing opened and closed by a folding door 81 to be folded. And (82).

The bottom of the casing 82 is finished with a grill plate 83, and a heating heater 84 is built in the grill plate 83 to warm the internal space of the casing 82. As the heating heater 84, one that emits light heat such as a halogen lamp or a metal halide lamp, or one that exhibits a heat dissipation action such as a heating coil can be employed.

On the other hand, above the grill plate 83, many lead screws 86 which are rotationally driven by the motor 85 are horizontally arranged in parallel, and below the front end side of these lead screws 86, the swing plate 87 is provided. This is arranged.

One side of the swinging plate 87 is axially connected to the torsion spring 88 at the lower end of the casing 82 so that the swinging plate 87 returns to a predetermined posture after swinging. In addition, a product discharging detection switch 89 is installed at the bottom of the swinging plate 87 to switch on once for every swing of the swinging plate 87, and the generated signal stops driving the motor 85. Is input to the controller 7 as a signal.

Packed instant food (shown by a dashed-dotted line) is inserted into the lead screw 86, and when the heating heater 84 is turned on if necessary, the stored instant food is heated to about 25 to 30 ° C.

In addition, the lead screw 86 arranged in plural is fitted with instant foods, each of which is classified by type. In the present invention, the third product storage column 80 may be stored by dividing the pack in which the source is stored, for example, kimchi, seafood fishing, curry, and the like. Is selected by operating a button provided on the front.

More specifically, a plurality of motor 85 and the lead screw 86 are arranged in a unique address to the controller 7, respectively, and when the signal from which the purchaser operated a button is input to the controller 7, The motor 85 is configured to be driven.

When the selected motor 85 rotates the lead screw 86, the instant food sandwiched on its outer circumference is propelled by the spiral action and moved to the end, and the air supply field falls out of the lead screw 86. The instant food falling in this way falls on the swinging plate 87 so that the product discharging detection switch 89 is operated. At this time, the output signal of the product discharging detection switch 89 being operated is input to the controller 7. (7) cuts off the power supplied to the motor 85 so as to stop immediately.

Instant food falling from the lead screw 86 is provided to the buyer through the chute (100).
