Description

Automatic dosage unit

The present invention relates to an automatic dispensing device for dispensing material to a recovery device. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of a storage device and an automatic distribution device for the above-described automatic distribution device.

Dispensing devices for the dispensing of various substances are known, in which substances are prepared in advance or in connection with the dispensing device itself.

Some problems with conventional dispensing devices are particularly known for the case where the substance is food, such as coffee. These dispensing devices can be, for example, coffee grinders or coffee mills, which are adjusted, for example, to prepare powder of coffee beans for use in the production of finished coffee beverages.

Recently, the preference for coffee and coffee drinks is becoming more and more popular, and people often enjoy a cup of coffee in a cafe or specialized 'coffee house'. Coffee drinks are really a gourmet experience.

With such popularity, there is an increasing need to process coffee in terms of taste in cafes and homes. This is mainly due to the fact that coffee can be bitter if it is not fresh.

Providing a good taste just before brewing coffee is a particularly proven benefit.

Coffee beans have etheric oils, so oxidation begins after grinding. It is this oxidation that causes the coffee to taste bitter. This means that the more time passes from crushing coffee beans to using them, the greater the likelihood of bitterness. For this reason, it can be said that powdered coffee is often sold in a vacuum.

It has been explained that storing powdered coffee reduces the taste of coffee. In contrast, storage of the coffee beans themselves does not cause this deterioration of taste because ethereal oil is trapped in the coffee beans.

Another problem associated with the storage of fresh coffee powder is that the container, reservoir or storage device is easily greasy because the coffee powder is always greasy. The ethereal oil on the surface of the greasy bump is oxidized quickly for the remaining fresh coffee powder as well, and the coffee taste is reduced as described above. The old coffee that sticks to the surface gives a fresh taste to the surrounding fresh coffee.

If the coffee powder comes into direct contact with corners or grooves where fresh coffee powder may stick (it is easy to stick), it may later be left to ferment itself. This will result in severe deterioration of the coffee provided to the user.

The popularity as described above has increased the need for the ability to prepare coffee beans, after which the fresh coffee powder does not come into contact with the inner surface of the container or storage device and can be used immediately.

It is becoming commonplace to serve leach containers at home as well as in cafes and restaurants. Fresh coffee powders are often used at home, which is prepared just before pouring into a coffee brew container. Such a home coffee grinder or coffee mill has the same problem with the phenomenon that when the fresh coffee powder sticks to the grinder, the user sometimes does not clean it correctly and the taste changes. Moreover, there is a repetitive problem of how much coffee should be used for such a coffee brew container, ie how toxic the finished coffee is.

Today's cafes have a coffee grinder suitable for espresso coffee. Such coffee grinders cannot be used in coffee brewing containers because the powder is too fine. This causes the cafes to use the coffee powder ground in advance of the fresh coffee powder in the coffee leaching container, the problem of distribution occurs again.

Therefore, all existing coffee grinders must first determine the size of the coffee leach container from which the coffee grinder is to be made before the amount of coffee beans to be ground to obtain sufficient coffee volume for the coffee brewing container under consideration. In addition to manual estimation, a person using a coffee grinder had to transfer the ground coffee powder to a coffee brewing container.

In addition, all coffee grinders available on the market have a fundamental problem that fresh coffee powder is not directly injected into the coffee brewing container in which coffee is to be used. In any case, since there is a form for storing coffee, the ethereal oil present in fresh coffee powder is oxidized and feels bitter. Therefore, storing powdered coffee in any form leads to a taste deterioration.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an automatic distribution device that solves the problems and disadvantages of the prior art as described above.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an automatic dispensing apparatus capable of dispensing a given amount of a given substance by identifying the size of a given container.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide an automatic dispensing apparatus capable of directly preparing a substance and dispensing it.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide an automatic dispensing apparatus which has a short and direct path for dispensing the substance, thereby reducing the contact of the substance with the surface during dispensing.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide an automatic dispensing apparatus having a short distance between the grinding apparatus and the recovery apparatus.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide an automatic dispensing apparatus capable of monitoring and controlling the consumption of a substance.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide an automatic dispensing apparatus which can fix a storage device to a dispensing apparatus.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an automatic dispensing apparatus which can adjust the preparation of a substance to be dispensed.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide an automatic dispensing apparatus in which noise during preparation of a material is significantly reduced.

The automatic dispensing device according to the present invention is novel in that it has an identification device arranged to identify a size of the recovery device and to dispense a predetermined amount of material based on the identified size.

This identification enables the distribution to be carried out in an accurate amount proportional to the size of the recovery device, thereby realizing the possibility of using a plurality of recovery devices having various sizes.

The present invention provides an automatic distribution device that recognizes the size of the recovery device as a device defined at the beginning.

In the following the dispensing device will be described primarily in connection with the dispensing and preparation of coffee, but within the spirit of the invention the invention is equally used for other substances which are essential for dispensing a predetermined amount for a particular size in order to make a finished product. Note that you can.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the identification device may comprise a control device for controlling the dispensing amount of the material to the size of the recovery device. The control facilitates the quick and accurate dispensing of the material for the recovery device, thereby assisting in the correct dispensing amount for the identified recovery device.

The identification device may have a locking device for receiving and locking the recovery device during dispensing of the substance. This allows the user of the dispensing device to mount the recovery device during automatic dispensing. And you can do other things in the middle, for example.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the dispensing device may comprise a storage device for storing the substance. This allows the dispensing device to easily contain a predetermined amount of material, thereby reducing the re-injection time. The material may also be stored in a storage device in a suitable manner. For example, the coffee beans are kept sealed so that the taste of the coffee beans lasts longer than when stored in an open bag, for example. Preferably one device is provided with a plurality of storage devices containing different substances, for example other coffee beans, so that they can be easily replaced for the desired taste.

As a convenient form of the invention, the dispensing device may comprise a polishing device for preparing, for example, grinding or grinding material. This allows the preparation of the substance immediately before dispensing to the recovery device. A grinding device is used to prepare a dispensing material, such as coffee beans, to mix with water by grinding the material.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the polishing apparatus may include a pair of conical blades having an outer blade mainly having a funnel shape and an inner blade mainly having a conical shape. The use of conical blades makes it possible to grind coffee beans very effectively, for example, which is of great importance for the final taste experience. Experience has shown that this type of grinding machine grinds coffee beans quickly and evenly, and does not remove much of the coffee beans' taste.

The outer blade can preferably be arranged to rotate around the inner blade. The retrieval device can therefore be arranged directly below the pair of blades and the storage device can also be arranged directly above the blade, avoiding the drive shaft of the inner blade in the same way. This takes up too much space in the conventional device, making the optimal path of the material difficult. In this embodiment of the invention the material is easily moved by its weight, for example from the reservoir to the blade, and then to the recovery device after being crushed at the blade. Moreover, the material has the smallest possible contact with the surface of the dispensing device during dispensing. In conventional coffee grinders the material could stick to the surface of the dispensing device and the prepared coffee beans could oxidize and become tasteful, but this minimal contact minimizes this risk.

More preferably there is a play between the inner blade and the outer blade, which allows the material to pass through a pair of conical blades into the recovery unit while preparing the material.

According to an embodiment of the invention the adjusting means may be arranged to adjust the degree of preparation of the material, ie to adjust the play between the blades. By changing the play, the particle size of the material powder to be processed can be changed.

Preferably the drive can be arranged to drive the outer blade. In an embodiment of the present invention the drive is a motor that rotates the outer blade around the inner blade. The motor is disposed on an axis off the center of the pair of blades, for example driving the outer blades by power transmission such as belt drive.

Also preferably in the present invention, the control device is arranged to be connected to the driving device so that the rotational speed is changed to change the preparation time of the material. This is particularly useful with regard to grinding coffee beans, since coffee beans differ in hardness, shape, and degree of roasting. Therefore, how the grinding is done is very important to experience the final taste of the coffee. More preferably the rotational speed of the outer blade can be adjusted to the required noise level.

Preferably the storage device is automatically mounted to the dispensing device by a rotary motion and can be detached from the dispensing device. This allows the storage device to be exchanged quickly and easily.

Preferably the locking device can be arranged to lock the storage device to the dispensing device. This is particularly useful if the distribution device is installed in a public place or if the manager wants to protect the contents of the storage device from theft. Especially in the case of coffee beans, the price of the contents in a three liter storage device is expensive. Thus, for example, a cafe owner who installs the distribution device according to the present invention can reduce the risk of wasted loss and theft. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the locking device may be disposed between the storage device and the inlet of the pair of conical blades. This arrangement results in a path from a compact device and storage to a pair of blades.

Also preferably, when the storage device is removed from the dispensing device, a safety device for preventing movement of the drive device is arranged. Such a safety device provides the convenience that the storage of the dispensing device can be exchanged very safely by the general user.

More preferably, the size of the recovery device is identified by strain gauges, micro switches, optical sensors, weight cells, optical identifiers, radio meters or the like. This facilitates a very precise identification of the size of the recovery device and minimizes the risk of error by manual measurement. The dispensing device may also be set up to identify various sizes of recovery devices.

In an embodiment according to the invention, the closure device has at least one opening and at least one blocking device, which allows the closing device to dispense different amounts of material by varying the size of the opening by the blocking device. The change in the size of the opening depends on the size of the recovery device identified by the distribution device. This dispenses the correct, predetermined amount appropriate for a given recovery device.

Also preferably, the blocking device is arranged to seal and close the opening of the closing device.

As a more preferred embodiment of the dispensing apparatus, the dispensing apparatus may be provided with means for reducing vibration. This minimizes the level of noise associated with the preparation of the material to a level suitable for the human ear. This is particularly important in cafes, which, for example, were uncomfortable for cafe customers because the noise level of the coffee grinder in relation to the prior art is too high.

According to another embodiment of the invention, a guide device, such as a funnel, may be arranged to guide the material to the recovery device. This funnel assists in more accurate dispensing by guiding the material to the recovery device as quickly as possible. The funnel may also assist in setting the direction of the recovery device when attaching the recovery device to the distribution device prior to identification. A more detailed description is described below.

Also preferably, the dispensing device is provided with an antistatic function which allows the material to be dispensed without generally sticking to the device.

As a preferred embodiment, the antistatic function can be provided in the shape from the exit of the blade to the funnel so that the flow of the material is assured, thereby ensuring the flow of the material discharged to the recovery device side during the process. The charging of coffee due to friction occurs during grinding. The total charge after grinding remains zero, but there are many ions that cause 'sticking' because the electrons are unevenly dispersed. If the coffee is properly 'stirred', the electrons are 'well' distributed again so the coffee no longer 'sticks'.

The antistatic function can be provided by surface treatment of areas in which the material is in contact. Such surface treatments may include polishing, anodizing or coating applications.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention may be installed a positioning device for the recovery device is arranged in a predetermined position where the prepared material is dispensed. This minimizes errors caused by humans such as the recovery device not being correctly maintained while identifying the size of the recovery device, and facilitates positioning of the recovery device.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, a memory device for storing information relating to the operation of the dispensing device may be arranged. This allows the consumption of the substance to be monitored to inform the user at the appropriate time that a new quantity of the substance needs to be added. In addition, the memory device may control not only the identification device itself but also the driving device. The memory device may also include the ability to monitor how often and in what amounts the material is distributed.

The invention also relates to a storage device comprising a closure device. Therefore, it is possible for a user to store different types of coffee in different storage devices so that the cafe owner can provide various types of coffee without using multiple dispensing devices. Here the user easily removes one storage device and mounts a new one.

The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the following particularly preferred embodiments and drawings.

8 to 11 show detailed embodiments of the closure device.

All drawings are very schematic and will not necessarily scale. Also, only the essential parts are shown to clarify the present invention, and other parts are omitted or simply implicitly expressed.

1 shows an automatic dispensing device 1 according to the invention, which is prepared for mounting on a wall or the like by the mounting device 20. Within the spirit of the present invention, the dispensing device may be modified so as to stand freely on the table. The dispensing device shown here is equipped with a storage device 2 for storing the material for dispensing.

Also shown in FIG. 2 is an automatic dispensing device which supports the retrieval device 4 in a position where the cover or housing 3 has been removed so that the interior of the dispensing device 1 is visible. The dispensing device has an identification device 5, which is arranged to identify the size of the recovery device. This makes it easier to dispense different amounts of material. The amount dispensed is determined by the size of the recovery device 4.

The retrieval device 4 here is shown in the form of a well-known coffee leaching vessel 4 which is mainly used for making coffee. The identification device 5 of this embodiment is shown to assist the support of the coffee brewing container 4 and thereby surround the fastening device 7 for receiving and fastening the recovery device during dispensing of the material. The frame 22 of the coffee brewing container 4, which may be made of metal, is in contact with the upper surface of the identification device 5 and is connected to the inside of the edge of the funnel 8. This will be described in detail below.

As mentioned above, the fastening device 7 also has a guide device 6, here shown as a funnel. The guide device is installed to guide the material to the recovery device, and fixes the recovery device 4 together with the identification device 5. This allows the user to simply and conveniently install the coffee brew container.

In a non-illustrated embodiment, the copy brewing vessel is mounted by a magnet, a bracket surrounding the coffee brewing container, or an apparatus which allows the coffee brewing container to be held in a position between two rods, or vertically up and down. It may be mounted by a removable shelf or by a plurality of braces that are hung on the coffee brew container frame to lock the container down by the weight of the coffee brew container itself or the force of the spring, or other similar methods.

The automatic dispensing device is shown having a drive device 9 installed next to the fastening device, which is installed to drive the polishing device 10. The polishing apparatus 10 shown here is provided between the recovery apparatus 4 and the closing apparatus 6.

2 shows a means 35 for reducing vibration. The vibration reducing means may, for example, consist of blades in operation to lower the noise level and rubber washers which absorb vibrations of the drive. It is also possible to install main means for reducing vibration, such as allowing the drive means to rotate in association with the cover, which will be well understood by those skilled in the art. In addition, the washer, which is preferably rubber, may be installed between the cover and the place where the driving means is installed to seal the driving means to reduce noise transmitted to the air.

3 shows that the identification of the size of the coffee brewing container 4 is implemented by the weight cell 11, which is another embodiment of a micro switch, an optical sensor, a strain gauge, an optical identifier, a radio meter or the like. Can be. 2 shows how the coffee brewing container is installed, how far the funnel 8 is in the coffee brewing container to provide a fixed criterion for the identification device, and where the coffee brewing container is provided by the identification device 5. It shows if it is supported. After the coffee brewing vessel is mounted on the dispensing device, it is separated by the user after the coffee brewing vessel has been identified. The coffee brewing container is identified by its own weight depressing the identification device 5 and transmits an electronically converted signal through it to control the appropriate dispensing amount based on the size of the recovery device.

4 and 5 show one of the conical blades driven by the electric motor 9 via a hollow drive shaft which can also function as a passage.

Under the conical blades is a fastening assembly which simultaneously performs positioning, fastening and identification of the recovery device. Identification is based on weight by weight cell.

For example, by mounting a retrieval device, such as a coffee brew container, the change in the signal of the weight cell in the fastening structure forms the basis for the identification of the retrieval device and the motor for the period of time necessary for the material to be crushed and introduced into the retrieval device. To drive.

At the same time, only the correct amount of material is ground for the designated recovery device installed during the process.

The passage is minimized by the hollow shaft and the opening / closing mechanism is integrally formed with the storage device.

By mounting the retrieval device between at least one of the two fixed rods on which the weight cell is mounted, the weight of the retrieval device is determined as a function of the signal change of the digitally recorded weight cell.

6 shows a cross section of the recovery device, wherein the polishing apparatus 10 includes an outer blade 15 that is primarily funnel-shaped and an inner cone blade 16 that is primarily conical. The outer blade 15 is rotated around the inner blade 16 by a motor 9 arranged on a different axis with respect to the center of the polishing apparatus 10. Through this, the recovery device 4 can be mounted directly under the polishing device 10, and the storage device 2 can also be mounted on the polishing device 10. Through this, the substance easily moves from the storage device 2 to the polishing device 10 by its own weight and flows straight into the recovery device 4 after the grinding is completed in the grinding device 10. The material also moves along the shortest possible distance from the reservoir to the recovery device, minimizing the risk of material sticking to the inner surface of the dispensing device 1 as in a conventional device by making as little contact with the surface as possible during dispensing. do.

In this embodiment, the outer blade is driven by a belt drive around the outer blade. However, as another embodiment, the transfer of energy may be implemented through gears or the like. The outer blade may also be driven by pneumatic, hydraulic or the like. It is also within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention that energy which is not used between distribution operations can be stored for later use.

By crushing the material through the hollow drive shaft and flowing it directly into the recovery device, the oxidation of the material can be reduced. In other words, the motor drives the outer blade through the drive belt.

As another example, the polishing apparatus 10 may be disposed off center with respect to the storage device 2 to allow storage at the center. This allows the same storage device 2 to be used by a plurality of distribution devices 1. In addition, the polishing apparatus 10 is disposed away from the center with respect to the recovering apparatus 4, so that the plurality of recovering apparatuses 4 are supported to receive the same material from the same recovering apparatus 1, so that the capacity of the distributing apparatus 1 is reduced. Can be used more fully.

In yet another embodiment, although not shown, the automatic dispensing apparatus 1 may include another type of polishing apparatus having a blade fixed in the chamber. The chamber moves relative to the blade, so the blade grinds finely through the material to be dispensed. As another embodiment of the funnel 8 shown in FIG. 6B, the funnel consists of two parts. The first inclined portion 8a means to guide the material from the blade towards the portion 8b as a funnel portion. Through this funnel is formed so that the fresh coffee powder does not have corners or grooves that may stick. The shape of the funnel 8 according to FIG. 6b therefore protects the coffee from static electricity. This is because the shape of the funnel 8 causes the coffee to slide and flow into the recovery device, which is the place where the coffee is spontaneously discharged while passing through the funnel.

In FIG. 6B the portion 8b of the funnel 8 is cut at a 45 degree angle, which allows smaller recovery devices to be readily used in the dispensing device. The dispensing device is therefore more flexible for recovery devices of various sizes.

As noted above, the recovery device is arranged to store material that is primarily coffee beans. As mentioned at the outset, the quality of the coffee is slowly reduced only by contact with air, so that only a predetermined amount can be stored.

However, there are limitations on how long coffee beans can be stored before they have deteriorated. For powdered coffee, the coffee beans will oxidize over time when the bag is opened, thus reducing the taste. Therefore, the storage device must be sized so as not to be refilled too frequently, while at the same time allowing the user to inject fresh coffee beans into the storage device so as not to serve old coffee. The amount of 3 to 4 liters seems to be preferred.

Preferably no form of congestion occurs in the storage device. This means that there is no point in the storage where coffee beans are stopped when new coffee beans are injected. The storage device is also preferably separated for reinjection. This is because if you want to clean the device, the device can be visually controlled and the coffee beans are automatically mixed.

Since the reservoir can be detached, it is preferred that the closure be arranged to block the remaining coffee beans when the reservoir is separated from the dispenser.

The storage device is preferably made of a transparent material such as glass or plastic glass.

7 shows an exploded view of a closure device according to the invention. The device shown in this embodiment has two plates 50, 51 which can be connected and rotate relative to each other. The two plates have openings 53 which coincide with each other by the rotation of the two plates to form a passage from the reservoir to the distributor. This is clearly shown in FIG. 8, in the same figure on the left, with the closure device fully closed.

The closure also has a handle 54 which allows the two plates to rotate relative to each other. Three locking springs 55 are also arranged to support the installed funnel.

Therefore, when using the closing device, the lower plate can be freely rotated with respect to the remaining portions except for the three pressing pieces 56 disposed above the springs. The pressing pieces 56 allow the plate 51 to be positioned within a 60 degree range between positions where the holes of the plate are closed or opened.

When the plates are in the open position, the holes 58 around the plate abut each other. This means that the closure device provided with the plate can be accurately mounted by the locking springs as shown in FIG. 11.

Therefore, as described above, the handle can be rotated so that the plates are manually closed. The reason why the plates are closed is because the two plates rotate together because of the bottom plate being locked against rotation by the locking spring. Since the upper plate rotates in the recess of the locking spring, the upper plate can freely rotate with respect to the bottom plate. This allows the closure device to be locked to the distribution device.

Therefore, as described above, the two plates can rotate with each other in the closing mechanism. There are grooves in the two plates that allow the plates to cover each other in the locked position. One of the plates is fixed relative to the reservoir and the other plate is fixed in relation to the rotation about the dispensing device itself. Rotation is limited to a predetermined angular range by the stop spring. The storage device is therefore closed when detached and opened when mounted.

Therefore, according to the invention the closure device may be an integral part formed integrally with the storage device or located between the storage device and the blades. A steering may also be arranged that is in connection with the closure device. This may change the size of the openings of the plates, ie the area of the openings when the plates rotate differently with respect to each other. This allows the distribution (flow) of the coffee beans down to the blades to be controlled based on the area of the opening.

9 shows a cross-sectional view of the closure device according to the invention, and FIG. 10 shows one of the three locking springs in the mounted position.

The dispensing apparatus according to the preferred embodiment may have a memory device 31 arranged to store information relating to the operation of the dispensing apparatus, such as a computer with software. By fixing the recovery device 4 at a position between the metering bridge 11 and the funnel 8, the size of the recovery device 4 is identified and the software allows the electric motor 9 to grind the material for a given time. Receive instructions. The software sorts out materials that do not come from the recovery device, for example during cleaning. This allows the computer 31 to be pre-set to identify, for example, three or eight cups of coffee brew containers of different sizes, so as to adjust the amount of coffee to be dispensed to the grinder. Such a setting may be selectively changed based on the progress of changing the quality or type of coffee.

The computer can also collect data about how much time has passed since the storage was last removed and for how long coffee was stored in the storage. By doing so, the computer can record the amount of coffee consumed and the amount of coffee dispensed most often. The cleaning of the dispensing device may also be recorded the same, or the computer may inform the user that the dispensing device should be cleaned. In order to confirm the above-mentioned information of the computer on the display 30, a function is provided in the identification device 5 as shown in FIG.

The invention also relates to the use of the above-described automatic dispensing device for the preparation and dispensing of coffee.

The above description of the invention preferably relates to coffee beans as a substance, but within the spirit of the invention the automatic dispensing device is directed to various other substances in the powder and liquid phases, such as coffee powder, tea, various soft beverage concentrates and the like. It can be seen that also can be used in the same way.

While the present invention has been described in connection with the preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications may be made without departing from the invention as defined by the following claims. .

The present invention relates to an automatic dispensing device for dispensing material to a recovery device, a storage device for an automatic dispensing device, and a method of using the automatic dispensing device.
