The ring gear 17 which is built in the main body 14 and meshes with the drive gear 16 and the cup 10 which is engaged with the ring gear 17 and is positioned at the bottom of the holder 11 when rotating are individually discharged. Discharge means comprising at least two holding gears 18 (four are used as an example),

And a control unit (not shown) for controlling driving of the driving motor 15 to discharge the cup 10 from the holder 11 through the discharge hole 12 one by one when pressing the operation button 13.

On the other hand, it is formed integrally extending below the main body 14, and supports the locking jaw 19 of the upper end of the cup 10 discharged from the holder 11 to prevent the cup 10 from falling directly to the bottom surface It further comprises a latch 20 to.

A hook formed at the rear of the main body 14 to detachably fix the main body 14 to a fixed member of a metal body (referring to a wall surface made of a metal body of a building, a cabinet of a work site, or an outer housing of a water purifier). It further includes a member 21 and a magnetic material (not shown) accommodated in the groove (not shown) formed in the hook member 21.

A hook member 21 formed at the rear of the main body 14 so that the main body 14 can be detachably fixed to the fixed member as a fastening member (referring to a screw, etc. not shown), and a hook member ( 21 is a fastening member integrally formed in the through hole 22 and includes a lug 23 (lug) in which the through hole 22 is formed to fix the main body 14 to the fixed member.

The above-described power generating unit, the worm gear 24 is fixed to the drive motor 15, the drive gear 16 is a worm wheel 25 to be engaged with the worm gear 24, coaxial with the worm wheel 25 It further comprises a two-stage spur gear 26 is formed in the upper, and a limit switch 27 for detecting the rotation of the worm wheel 25 by a predetermined angle to stop driving the drive motor 15.

The gear ratio of the driving gear 16 and the holding gear 18 described above is 1: 1 (that is, the four holding gears 18 are also rotated one rotation each time the driving gear 16 is rotated).

The above-described holding gear 18 is formed integrally with the gear part 28 (referred to as spur gear) to be engaged with the ring gear 17 and the gear part 28 to rotate the ring gear 17. A cam-shaped curved portion 29 for supporting the locking jaw 19 at the upper end of the cup 10 gradually lowered when interlocked with each other and a top of the cup 10 supported by the curved portion 29 It comprises an inclined surface 30 for pressing the upper surface of the jaw (19) to force the cup 10 from the holder (11).

Since the above-described holder 11 is formed of transparent synthetic resin material or tempered glass material, the remaining amount of the cup 10 can be visually checked, so if the cup 10 is insufficient or dropped, the cup 10 can be immediately replenished. Can be.

In the drawings, reference numeral 32 is a lid which is mounted on the top of the holder 11 so as to be opened and closed and prevents foreign substances (say dust and dirt) from entering the inside, and 33 is a company logo on the front of the main body 14. It is an advertisement display unit for attaching the back.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings an example of the use of the automatic cup ejector according to the present invention will be described in detail.

By using a cup automatic ejector installed in a break room such as a building, a work site, or a commercial restaurant, a user can easily drink a traditional tea such as coffee or yulmu. In this case, the process of automatically discharging the cups individually from the cup discharger will be described.

5 and 6, when the user presses the operation button 13 formed on the front of the main body 14, the operation signal is input to the control unit (not shown), the battery 31 Power from the motor is applied to the drive motor 16 to rotate the drive motor 16.

Due to the rotation of the worm gear 24 fixed to the drive motor 15, the worm gear 25 engaged with the worm gear 24 is rotated, thereby reducing the rotational force of the drive motor 15. At the same time, the ring gear 17 built into the main body 14 is rotated by the two-stage spur gear 26 integrally formed on the bottom of the worm wheel 25.

Thus, the four holding gears 18 meshed with the ring gears 17 are rotated in the same direction as the ring gears 17, respectively. At this time, when the worm wheel 25 is rotated once, the holding gear 18 is also rotated once. When the worm wheel 25 is rotated, the driving of the drive motor 15 is stopped by detecting that the worm wheel 25 is rotated one by the limit switch 27 in contact with the cam plate 25a formed on the upper surface of the worm wheel 25. Let's do it.

5 (a, b, c) is a view for explaining the process of discharging the cups individually from the holder due to the holding gear rotation in the automatic cup ejector according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 5A, when the holding gear 18 (four used) engaged with the above-described ring gear 17 starts to rotate, the cup 10 located at the bottom of the holder 11 is placed. The upper locking jaw 19 is supported by the cam-shaped curved portion 29, respectively. At this time, the cup 10 is not separated from the holder 11.

As shown in FIG. 5 (b), when the above-described holding gear 18 fails to rotate one rotation after rotation, that is, the locking jaw 19 at the top of the cup 10 located at the bottom of the holder 11. Due to the rotation of the curved portion 29 supporting the cup 10 is gradually lowered along the curved portion (29). At this time, the cup 10 located at the bottom of the holder 11 is not separated from the holder 11 due to the rotation of the curved portion 29.

As shown in FIG. 5C, when the above-described holding gear 18 is rotated once, the holding gear is disposed on the upper surface of the locking jaw 19 of the upper end of the cup 10 supported by the curved portion 29. The inclined surface 30 formed at the side surface of 18 is located. That is, when the holding gear 18 rotates, the locking jaw 19 of the upper end of the cup 10 is pressed by the inclined surface 30 structure, thereby forcibly holding the cup 10 located at the bottom of the holder 11. Depart from

At the same time, since the holding jaw 19 of the upper end of the cup 10a superimposed on the cup 10 discharged from the above-described holder 11 is supported by the curved portion 29 of the holding gear 18, the holder The cup 10 from 11 can be prevented from being discharged continuously.

On the other hand, by holding the holding jaw 19 of the upper end of the cup 10 by the four holding gears 18 interlocked during the rotation of the ring gear 17 at the same time firmly supported in four places, the holder 11 From the cup 10 can be discharged in a single stable state.

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 6, when installing the automatic cup dispenser next to the water purifier, by using the cup 10 discharged from the holder 11 to eat drinking raw materials, such as coffee, or hot water from the water purifier Or you can take cold water.

As described above, the automatic cup ejector according to the present invention has the following advantages.

When the user presses the operation button to burn drinking raw materials such as traditional tea or coffee into the cup, the cups stacked on the holder are automatically discharged one by one by driving the discharge means, thereby providing convenience and reliability to the user.

In addition, as the battery is used when driving the discharge means for automatically discharging the cups individually from the holder by pressing the operation button, the maintenance cost is reduced by reducing the power consumption.

In addition, due to the simplified structure of the cup ejector can be installed without any restriction on the location or space by reducing the outer size, reducing the number of parts to reduce the work process of manufacturing and assembling the parts.
