Description
본 발명은 자동판매기의 Ｔｅａ－Ｂａｇ감지장치에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는 자동판매기에서 녹차와 같이 일회용으로 포장된 티백음료를 끓는 물에 넣어 판매할 수 있도록 하는 티백음료용 자동판매장치에서 투출되는 티백의 품절을 감지하는 자동판매기의 티백감지장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a TEA-BAG detection device of a vending machine, and more particularly, the tea bag is dispensed from a vending machine for a tea bag beverage so as to sell the tea bag beverage packaged as a tea, such as green tea, in boiling water. The present invention relates to a tea bag detecting device of a vending machine that detects a sold out of the tea bag.
일반적으로 커피와 음료 등을 무인 판매하기 위하여 개발된 자동판매기는 소비자가 언제 어느 때나 간편하게 커피나 음료를 마실 수 있는 요건을 충족하고 있으며, 이러한 자동판매기는 극히 대중화되어 각종 빌딩과 공원은 물론 거리에서도 쉽게 접할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 사무실내에서도 소형 자동판매기를 사용하게 되었다.In general, vending machines developed for unmanned sales of coffee and beverages meet the requirements for consumers to easily drink coffee or beverages at any time, and these vending machines are extremely popular and are used in various buildings, parks, and streets. Not only is it easy to use, but it also uses a small vending machine in the office.
또한, 상기와 같은 자동판매기는 종이컵에 커피와 같은 뜨거운 음료를 혼합하여 판매하는 것과 캔음료를 판매하는 것으로 크게 분류할 수 있다.In addition, such vending machines can be broadly classified into selling hot beverages such as coffee in paper cups and selling canned beverages.
상기와 같은 종래의 자동판매기 중 종이컵에 뜨거운 음료를 혼합하여 판매하는 자동판매기는 분말상의 음료원료를 일정량씩 종이컵에 공급하면 음료원료가 공급된 종이컵에 온수가 공급되어 소비자가 뜨거운 음료를 마실 수 있도록 한 것이었다.The vending machine that sells hot beverages mixed with paper cups of the conventional vending machines as described above is supplied with a predetermined amount of powdery beverage raw materials to the paper cups so that hot water is supplied to the paper cups to which the beverage raw materials are supplied so that consumers can drink hot beverages. It was.
또한 녹차와 같은 우리의 전통차는 티백포장되어 일회용 포장으로 현재의 자동판매기에서 판매할 수 있도록 하여 전통차를 즐겨마시는 사람도 자동판매기를 사용하게 되어, 자동판매기에서 음료를 뽑아 마시는 소비자의 선택의 폭을 넓힐 수 있도록 하였다.In addition, our traditional teas, such as green tea, are packaged in tea bags so that they can be sold at current vending machines in disposable packaging, so people who enjoy traditional teas can use vending machines to make choices for consumers who drink beverages from vending machines. It was made wider.
그러나, 상기의 티백포장으로 된 상품은 분말원료와는 그 판매구조가 상이하여 티백의 품절유무를 확인할 수 없었고, 티백이 품절이 되었을 경우에는 뜨거운물만 공급되고 티백은 공급되지 않아 소비자를 기만하게 되고, 자동판매기의 신뢰성을 저하시키는 문제점이 있었다.However, the product of the tea bag packaging is different from the powdered raw material, so the sales structure of the tea bag could not be confirmed. If the tea bag is out of stock, only hot water is supplied and the tea bag is not supplied. There has been a problem of lowering the reliability of the vending machine.
따라서, 본 발명은 상기한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 창안된 것으로, 본 발명의 목적은 티백투출장치의 소정위치에 티백의 유무를 검출할 수 있는 장치를 구비하여 티백이 품절되었을 경우, 티백품절신호를 제어부에 출력하여 판매중지를 표시하여 소비자로 하여금 금전적인 피해를 사전에 방지할 수 있는 자동판매기의 티백감지장치를 제공함에 있다.Therefore, the present invention was devised to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a device capable of detecting the presence or absence of a tea bag at a predetermined position of the tea bag dispensing apparatus, and when a tea bag is sold out, The present invention provides a tea bag detecting device of a vending machine that outputs to a control unit to display a stop sale so that consumers can prevent financial damage in advance.
상기 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명의 구성은, 일회용 티백상품을 판매하는 자동판매기의 티백투출장치에 있어서, 상기 티백투출장치(70) 내부에 티백을 투출시키는 스파이럴(71)과; 상기 스파이럴(71)를 회전시키는 회전모터(72)와; 상기 티백투출장치(70)의 소정위치에 티백의 유무를 감지하기 위한 빛을 조사하는 발광부(73) 및; 상기 조사된 빛을 수광하는 수광부(74)로 이루어지는 것을 특징으로 한다.A configuration of the present invention for achieving the above object is a tea bag dispensing apparatus of a vending machine for selling disposable tea bag products, spiral 71 for discharging the tea bag in the tea bag dispensing apparatus 70; A rotary motor 72 for rotating the spiral 71; A light emitting unit 73 for irradiating light for detecting the presence or absence of a tea bag to a predetermined position of the tea bag discharging device 70; Characterized in that it comprises a light receiving portion 74 for receiving the irradiated light.
