The present invention relates to a cup stopper of an egg cooking machine, and more particularly, to a cup stopper of an egg cooking machine, and more particularly, to a cup stopper of an egg cooking machine, The invention relates to a cup stopper of an egg cooking vending machine.

As is generally known, an egg cooking machine is a machine that feeds a predetermined amount of money to a coin or a bill insertion slot, and then feeds it to a consumer in a state of being matured or half-cooked by a heating device after dropping the eggs.

FIG. 1 is an internal view of a cabinet for avoiding the appearance of a cabinet forming an appearance of an egg cooking machine.

In other words, the inside of the egg cooking machine includes an egg tray 200 in which a large number of eggs are stacked, a cup tray in which a number of cups are stacked, and an egg shell in the cup conveyed from the tray, A heating part for feeding the cup containing the egg contents along the guard rail and then heating the egg, and a heating part for heating the egg, which is heated by the heating part, Border and shared door.

More specifically, when a predetermined amount of money is inputted into the inside of the egg cooking machine, the cup positioned at the lowest position among the cups loaded in the cup loading box, which is omitted from the drawings, is dropped, The egg supplied from the egg tray is positioned on the upper side of the cup and at the same time the egg crushing section is operated and the egg shell is crushed and only the contents are dropped into the inside of the cup.

When the egg is dropped as described above, the cup is moved along a predetermined path, heated by a heating unit including a magnetron for a preset time, and the egg is cooked. The cooked egg is taken out through a door opened by a consumer, There is shown a plan view for showing an operation cycle of a conventional egg cooking machine.

The detailed operation of the conventional egg cooking machine will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, when the amount set as the money input port of the egg cooking machine is inputted, the automatic vending machine operates and drops the cup 100 positioned at the lowest one of the cups 100 loaded in the cup loading box to the "A" position in the drawing .

The dropped cup 100 operates the limit switch 110 installed at the position " A ", and a series of operations of the egg cooking machine are performed.

That is, the drive motor 130 installed on the substrate 120 is driven by the operation of the limit switch 100, and the drive gear 131 provided on the shaft rotates.

The driving gear 131 is fixed to the substrate 120 and rotates the rotating gear 140 engaged with the driving gear 131 and rotates the finger 150 fixed on the rotating gear 140 .

The finger 150 is intermittently rotated together with the rotary gear 140 and a finger 150 fixed on the upper side of the finger 150 rotates in a state of wrapping one circumferential surface of the cup 100, 160, and then stops at the "B" position in the drawing.

When the cup 100 is stopped at the position "B ", eggs among the eggs loaded in the egg tray 200 are transported by the egg transporting apparatus, and the egg crushing unit 300 transports eggs The shells are crushed in the state of sandwiching the both sides, and only the contents of the eggs are dropped into the cup 100 which is stationary at the position "B ".

When the egg is dropped to the position "B" as described above, the driving motor 130 is intermittently driven again and the cup 100 in which the eggs are put along the guard rail 160 is moved to a table (not shown) To the upper side.

At the same time, the cup 100 transferred to the "C" position is moved for a period of time during which the table, which is omitted from the drawing, is moved to the heating section provided on the upper side by the lift apparatus, and the magnetron provided in the heating section is set, When the set time is completed, the lift unit is rotated backward and the table on which the egg-cooking cup is placed is lowered to the "C" position.

The driving motor 130 is driven continuously and the finger 150 is rotated in the same manner as described above to move the cup 100 which has been cooked with eggs to the position "D" and supply the cup 100 to the consumer through the outlet.

The above operation is automatically controlled and operated by a preprogrammed operation in the control unit in which the drawing representation is omitted.

Of course, with separate action and a different pathway, you will be served eggs, dishes and packs of spices, such as salt or tomatoes, and a fork or spoon.

However, when the cup 100 is dropped from the cup tray 200 in the conventional egg cooking machine, the finger 150 mounted on the rotary gear 140 and rotated together with the rotary gear 140 moves to the cup 100, There is the following problem in the process of stopping at the position "B " provided with the crushing portion.

That is, since the cup dropped from the cup tray first is a light paper cup, the cup 100, which is rotated by the finger 150 due to its lightness, is subjected to acceleration and swinging due to the centrifugal force, There is a problem in that it can not stop accurately at the lower part of the part, that is, the position "B", and stops slightly over the position "B".

When the cup is out of position "B" for the above reasons, the contents of the egg, which is broken at the crushing portion disposed on the upper side thereof and then dropped into the inside of the cup, can not be accurately released to the inside of the cup, There is a problem that the eggs are dropped or the eggs are dropped out of the cup.

Therefore, the inside of the vending machine is contaminated, or eggs are buried in the vicinity of the cup.
