Generally, ramen is classified into a cup noodle which is prepared by pouring hot water into a ramen noodle which has already been cooked, a bag noodle which is prepared by adding soup into ramen noodles and boiling water, and adding various seasonings according to taste.

Among such ramen, if the cup noodle is prepared only hot water, it can be easily cooked and consumed in a short time in the outdoor, so that a vending machine capable of automatically selling cup noodles could be developed. In other words, in the case of cup noodles, it is possible to eat only boiling water before processing, so it can be eaten in 2 to 4 minutes by pouring hot water. It could be easily developed as a vending machine.

However, in such a cup, the automatic vending machine is a semi-automatic method in which the user must manually perform the process of injecting the hot water into the container, which is accompanied by inconvenience and inconvenience, and pouring hot water for taste or texture, There is a problem that can not be overcome much if you eat boiled bag. In other words, the cooking method of cup noodles has a disadvantage in that it is remarkably different from the ramen noodles in which the taste and texture of noodles are boiled and consumed in the way that they are eaten by hot water, unlike the case of a bag that is boiled for eating at home.

In recent years, a ramen vending machine capable of providing the same texture as instant noodles, which are automatically cooked and boiled, is being developed.

In the case of Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0187332, "a receiving portion formed radially by each of a plurality of vertical rods provided between a top plate and a bottom plate, A sensing unit sensing the position of the storage unit and sensing whether the storage space is present, and a noodle supply unit configured to discharge the noodle stored in the storage space to the noodle discharge hole The storage space in which the ramen is housed is formed by a plurality of vertical bars so that the storage state and quantity of the ramen can be easily grasped and the storage space itself is rotated, It is possible to prevent the occurrence of foreign matter caused by the use of the noodle, and to manufacture a storage portion capable of storing a large amount of ramen at low cost Effect is provided.

However, since this device is supplied from the noodle at the bottom of the noodle stacked for supply, a lot of driving force is consumed for discharging the noodle at the bottom due to the weight of the noodle noodle, and the surface of the noodle is damaged There is a problem.

For a better understanding of the present invention, the description with reference to the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. In the following description, a detailed description of related arts will be omitted when it is determined that the gist of the present invention may be unnecessarily blurred.

First, the ramp supply device of the ramp vending machine according to the present invention is installed in the ramp vending machine and enables the ramp to be supplied one by one to the pressure container. To understand this, the structure of the ramp vending machine is briefly described .

1 is a front view showing the overall structure of a ramen vending machine.

The vending machine includes a raman transfer device 200 including a ramen supply device 100 according to the present invention and installed on the ramen supply device 100 for transferring the supplied ramyee to the ramen ramen 400, A hot water supply device 300 installed at an upper portion of the ramie transfer device 200 and supplying hot water to the cooking device 400 if the hot water is stored, a pressure container 410 installed at one side of the ramie supply device 100, And a pressure cover 420 for sealing the noodle container 400. The noodle container feeding device 500 for feeding the container C to the lower side of the noodle cooking device 400, And a ramen dispenser 600 for transferring and delivering the ram noodle cooked in the ram noodle 400 to the ramen noodle container C. When the orderer inputs an order from outside, the ram noodle is automatically cooked and supplied to the orderer Lt; / RTI >

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3 together with an understanding of the overall structure of the above-described ram noodle machine, the ram noodle supply apparatus of the ram noodle machine according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a ramp feeder of a ramen vending machine according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a ramp support plate of the present invention shown in FIG.

The ramp supply device of the ram noodle machine according to the present invention includes a support plate 110, a storage tower 120, an elevation screw 130, a lift bar 140, and a conveying means 150 And is supplied one by one to the cooker while raising a plurality of stacked ram noodles. In addition, the present invention may further include a limit switch 160 in addition to the configurations described above.

First, the ramp support plate 110 is a horizontally disposed flat plate, and a plurality of ram noodles R are stacked thereon. That is, it supports and supports the ramen.

Specifically, the shape of the ramp support plate 110 may be a comb shape as shown in the figure.

In other words, a plurality of comb teeth 111 and a passage 112 are alternately formed in turn. The comb teeth 111 are formed in a beam shape and the passage 112 is formed as a space formed between the comb teeth 111, 140 can move up and down. The passage 112 may be formed by cutting a part of the flat plate.

At this time, the ramp support plate 110 is installed in the lower portion of the ramp vending machine, and can be moved laterally by the transporting means 150 described later.

The width and the length of the ramp support plate 110 may be designed to sufficiently raise the ramp surface. When the laminated ramp surface is referred to as a column, when a plurality of ramp surfaces are supported, If it is longer than the length, it can be designed to have the length of the support plate.

In other words, the number of the passageways 112 can be varied according to the length of the ramp support plate 110, that is, the number of ramped ramps.

The ramp support plate 110 may take three combs and two passages to support one area. The reason for this is that two passageways per one ramp are moved up and down in a state of supporting ram noodles while passing through the two passageways.

Therefore, when the laminated noodles are two rows as shown in the figure, five comb teeth 111 and four rollers 112 are appropriate. If it is the third column, there will be seven combs and six corridors.

Of course, it is a matter of course that the design can be designed to take four combs and three passages per ram noodle. In this case, three lift bars can be raised and lowered while supporting the ramen.

1 and 2, the receiving tower 120 is installed on the ramp supporting plate 110, and is formed on the ramp supporting plate 110 in a channel shape having an open top and a bottom.

The storage tower 120 is a space in which a plurality of ram noodles are stacked and housed.

At this time, the cross-sectional area of the receiving tower 120 is formed to be slightly larger than the area of one ramp surface, so that the ramp surface can be easily accommodated and should not be obstructed during the ascending movement.

In addition, the receiving tower 120 may have a shape that is closed at all sides, or may have a shape in which a '┓' -shaped angle 121 is formed at an edge portion to open the laminated state of the ramp. Alternatively, two '┓' type angles 121 may be used on the front side and a '┗┛' type angle 122 may be used on the rear side.

At least one storage tower 120 may be provided depending on the number of rows of ramps, and each storage tower 120 may extend over two or more of the passageways 112. That is, it is possible to install two passageways 112 so as to be installed over three combs.

Accordingly, when the ram nets R stacked on any one of the receiving towers 120 are exhausted, the ram holding plate 110 is moved to the left and right so that the other receiving towers 120 are positioned above the elevating bars 140 It is possible to carry out the elevating operation of the ramen.

For example, the cross-sectional shape of the storage tower 120 may be formed to match the shape of the ramp, which may be a rectangle in the case of a rectangular ramp, or a circle in the case of a ramp.

Next, the elevating screw will be described with reference to FIG. 4 is a side view of the present invention shown in Fig.

Specifically, an elevating screw 130 may be provided on the outer side of the passages 112 and in front of the ramp support plate 110.

The pair of lifting and lowering screws 130 are vertically spaced apart from each other, and may be separated from each other by an interval between the passages 112.

A male screw thread is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the lifting screw 130 and is rotated by the lifting motor 131. At this time, the pair of lifting and lowering screws 130 rotate in synchronization with each other.

To this end, a driven pulley 133 is coupled to the lower end of the lifting screw 130, a lifting motor 131 is provided at one side of the lifting screw 130, and the lifting motor 131 is driven A pulley 132 is mounted. The driving pulley 132 and the driven pulley 133 are transmitted to each other by a belt 134. Here, the driving pulley 132 and the pair of driven pulleys 133 are arranged in a triangular shape and can rotate in the same direction.

In addition to the pulley and belt power transmission system, other types of power transmission means such as gears and chains may be possible.

The driven pulleys 133 coupled to the lifting screws 130 are identical to each other so that the rotating ratios are the same so that the lifting screws 130 rotate equally.

The elevating bars 140 may be screwed to the elevating screws 130.

That is, one end of the lifting bar 140 is screwed to the lifting screw 130 and the other end is extended to a position directly below the passage 112.

At this time, the lifting bar 140 can move up and down by the rotation of the lifting screw 130, and can be a plate or a bar. Since the lifting bar 140 is lifted through the inside of the accommodating tower 120, the ramped rammed surface is raised on the lifting bar 140, and the entire rammed surface raised by the lifting bar 140 is lifted .

The width and the length of the lifting bar 140 may have a width and a length enough to pass through the passage 112 when the lifting bar 140 moves up and down.

At this time, when the receiving tower 120 has a closed channel shape, a pair of cutting lines may be vertically formed on the receiving tower 120 so that the lifting bar 140 can pass through.

If the storage tower 120 uses a "┓" -shaped angle, the lifting bar 140 can be raised and lowered between the angles without the need of a cutting line.

Meanwhile, a conveying unit 150 for conveying the ramp support plate 110 to the left and right may be provided under the ramp support plate 110. Fig. 5 is a plan view showing the conveying means of the present invention shown in Fig. 2;

The conveying means 150 includes a horizontal rodless cylinder 151 which is installed in the longitudinal direction of the ramp supporting plate 110 below the ramp supporting plate 110 and a horizontal rodless cylinder 151 which is slidably mounted on the horizontal rodless cylinder 151 And a slider 152 that reciprocates linearly.

The rodless cylinder is a cylinder which is widely used in the case where there is no rod or where a linear reciprocating movement is required in the form of a built-in rod, so a detailed description is omitted. The horizontal rodless cylinder 151 of the present invention may be driven by pneumatic pressure.

The slider 152 is engaged with the lower surface of the ramp support plate 110 so that the ramp support plate 110 is slidable.

1, a limit switch 160 may be provided at an upper end of the lifting screw 130. [

Specifically, when the ramp is installed on the upper surface of the ramped ramps, when the ramp on the uppermost layer comes into contact when the ramp is lifted by the lifting bar 140, the lifting motor 131 is stopped to rotate the lifting screw 130 Lt; / RTI > Therefore, the ramped surface is no longer raised, and then the ramped surface transport device is operated.

Hereinafter, the operation of the present invention will be described.

When two storage towers 120 are provided, the respective storage towers 120 are laminated and filled with ram noodles R.

When the horizontal rodless cylinder 151 is driven by air pressure, the slider 152 moves linearly to one side, and the ram supporting plate 110 coupled to the slider 152 also slides to one side.

At this time, the ramp supporting plate 110 moves until the receiving tower 120 to which the ramp is to be supplied is positioned in the upper right room of the elevating bar 140. That is, the elevating bar 140 is positioned in the passage 112 in the accommodating tower 120, respectively.

When the lifting motor 131 is driven, the driving pulley 132 rotates and the driven pulleys 133 interlocked with the belt 134 are rotated in the same direction. When the driven pulley 133 is coupled to the driven pulley 133, The pair of lifting and lowering screws 130 rotate together.

The lifting bar 140 starts lifting due to the rotation of the lifting screw 130 and the lifting bar 140 ascending and descending passes the lifting bar 130 while supporting the rams accumulated in the receiving tower 120 Raise the ramp (R) as if the forklift is lifting the cargo.

As the ramp increases, when the ramp on the uppermost layer touches the limit switch 160 in the upper right room, the controller stops the driving of the lifting motor 131 by the control unit.

In this manner, when all the ramps in the storage tower 120 are exhausted, the control unit reversely rotates the lifting motor 131 to lower the lifting bar 140 to the bottom.

The horizontal rodless cylinder 151 is driven again to move the ramp support plate 110 in the opposite direction and stop when the other storage tower 120 is positioned in the upper right room of the lift bar 140.

In the same process, the ram noodles stacked on new storage towers are raised one by one and supplied.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention may be embodied in many other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be determined by the scope of the appended claims, as well as the appended claims.
