Description

The utility model relates to the food industry and relates to the design of vending machines for the preparation and sale (bottling) of preventive oxygen cocktails.

Well-known machines of this purpose are manufactured in the floor-mounted design and are subject to stationary operation indoors at ambient temperature when the machine operates in the range from plus 16 to plus 32 ° C and relative humidity up to (80 ± 3)% at 25 ° C.

There are known vending machines for preparing drinks, in particular cocktails prepared on the basis of water with the addition of syrup, foaming agent and oxygen, while oxygen is introduced into the cocktail in order to improve the tone of the human body, as well as to restore partially or temporarily lost functions associated with oxygen starvation, while the saturation of the cocktail with oxygen is also associated with an improvement in the taste of the cocktail. For example, the mixture according to the technical solution set forth in patent RU 2150856, publ. 06/20/2000., Intended for the preparation of an oxygen-containing cocktail, including fruit and berry juice, water or an aqueous extract of medicinal herbs and / or berries and a foaming agent, mixing them and saturating the resulting mixture with oxygen by foaming it while passing oxygen, while in a cocktail mixture fruit syrup and rosehip syrup are additionally introduced, and gelatin preliminarily dissolved in water at 70-90 ° C is used as a foaming agent; in this case, before the mixture is saturated with oxygen, the mixture is kept for not enee 1 h Disadvantages: complexity of design of the device for the preparation of the known mixture caused by the complexity of the technology, the additional ingredients (gelatin), deteriorating the taste and quality of the final product - cocktail..

A device for preparing an oxygen cocktail according to patent SU 1634279, publ. 03/15/1991, the work of which determines the method of obtaining a cocktail, the method includes mixing in a container of liquid, adding a foaming agent and oxygen by spraying it onto the surface of the mixture. Disadvantage: getting oxygen in this way into the cocktail is not enough, the oxygen content in the final product - the cocktail is low.

There are also known methods for preparing an oxygen-containing cocktail, each of which includes mixing the liquid base with additives and introducing oxygen into the cocktail mixture (US patents 4027045, 05.31.1977 and US 5378480, 03.01.1995), as well as other technical solutions adopted as analogues technical solutions that are presented in the descriptions of the specified patent documentation.

A technical solution is known according to the patent RU 2346608 C2 A23L 2/00, A23L 2/38, A23L 2/54, publ. an open or closed container, a foaming additive, a gaseous substance are introduced into a liquid-like substance, the resulting mixture is mixed in a container by bubbling a gaseous substance, while 0.5-0.9 mg of a foaming additive is used to prepare 1 liter of cocktail, 0.3-1.0 mg gaseous acid Oroda, and the liquid substance - the rest. Mixing is performed within 6-120 s. Bubbling is carried out during, before or after mixing. A device for preparing mixtures is also known. Disadvantage: the device does not provide automatic preparation and sale of the prepared mixture.

Known technical solution according to patent RU 80607 U1 G07F 11/70 (2006.01) G07F 13/10, publ. 02/10/2009, according to which the AUTOMATED OXYGEN COCKTAIL TRADE AUTOMATIC MACHINE contains a housing, a mixer placed therein, beverage containers connected to the mixer and to the dispensing window of the drink, dispensers installed at their outlet, a bill acceptor, a computer unit providing operation and interaction of elements, a task bar, an automatic cup dispensing unit with a cup guide, an oxygen concentrator connected to a mixer connected to the mixer manipulator is introduced into it, and also Eden foamer container for a liquid or powder. A disadvantage of the known solution is that the syrup is mixed with water in advance, and then the mixture is whipped by mixing the mixture to obtain a foam with the addition of protein that binds the bubbles, preventing them from disintegrating, while the formation of bubbles draws in air, and the resulting mixture does not contain clean oxygen cocktail, and up to 50% consisting of air. At the same time, the air around the machine in which the cocktail is prepared, depending on where the machine is located, may contain harmful impurities (tobacco smoke, exhaust gases, dust, etc.), thus, the benefits of the product are reduced, and may cause harm.

Closest to the claimed utility model is the technical solution according to the patent RU 106782 U1 G07F 13/00, publ. 07/20/2011, in which the AUTOMATIC MACHINE FOR PREPARING AND SALE OF OXYGEN COCKTAILS contains a housing with water tanks and containers for syrups located in its upper part, which are communicated through pipes with a mixing chamber with cooling through controlled solenoid valves, a drum with glasses connected with a dispenser for these glasses, a foaming agent, a box with tubes, a compressor in the lower part of the case, a bill (coin) receiver with a receiving window located on the front side of the door, an oxygen concentrator, an ionizer air and a drainage tank in the bottom of the case, a control system, the unit of which is mounted on the rear side of the door, and the selection buttons and display are displayed on the front side of the door, in which there is a cocktail dispensing compartment and a straw dispensing compartment. In this case, the water containers and the containers for syrups are interchangeable, and a water-filled bottle of polymer material with a capacity of 19 l with a two-component stopper is used as a water container, the connection of the tubes to the containers is made using quick disconnect connections, the oxygen concentrator controlled from the controller is made with the possibility the implementation of the function of supplying oxygen under pressure through a nylon tube to the foaming agent, the foaming agent is located at the lower end of the vertical section of the tube, the upper end of Ora fixed to the rod attached to the slider of the linear motor located at the top of the guide to be movable along the guide at the lowest point for placing foamer nozzle at the bottom with a mixture of syrup and water to the passage of oxygen through the mixture is immersed in the foaming agent. The disadvantages of the prototype is the complexity of the design, affecting the cost of the product, as well as the lack of functional units that provide consumer convenience.

The disadvantages of the prototype eliminates the claimed utility model. The technical task is to improve the operational characteristics of the product by changing and / or simplifying the design. Operational characteristics include the ease of use and maintenance of the machine, the economical use of consumables (for example, tubes, syrups), and reduced energy consumption during operation. In addition, since the machine is intended for the production of products used as a food product, improving hygiene indicators affect consumer properties, and improve the quality of use (operation) of the machine, that is, improve the operational characteristics of the product.

In the design of the prototype there is an air ionizer, however, the fan in the ionizer is actually a “dust collector” and an energy-intensive unit, therefore there is no air ionizer in the claimed solution, which improves the operational characteristics of the product.

In the design of the prototype, the box with tubes is an accessory of the body. In the claimed technical solution, the box for tubes is an accessory of the cocktail dispensing window (35), structurally connected to the dispensing module of the tubes (28). In this case, piece delivery of tubes is performed automatically, and the module is equipped with a sensor that provides control of the shaft position, which makes it possible to implement piece delivery of disposable tubes, and it also becomes possible to record issued tubes. This difference from the design of the prototype leads to improved operational characteristics of the product.

The prototype has a foaming agent, which is an extra step in the production of the product, since when it is used, contact with the product air is longer and the quality of the product decreases. In the design of the proposed solution, the foaming agent is absent, foaming occurs directly in the glass, which leads to improved consumer properties and improved performance.

The design of the prototype uses interchangeable containers for syrups. In the claimed solution, the tanks are not replaceable, which leads to a simplification of the design and maintenance, that is, improved operational characteristics. Dismantling of containers for their replacement is made after a certain cycle of the period of use. As a special case, this makes it possible to use containers with an integrated Mariotte vessel. The use of containers with an integrated Mariotte vessel will make it possible to stabilize the flow rate of the syrup, which in turn will ensure a constant flow rate regardless of the column of liquid in the vessel (syrup containers), that is, it will increase the economy of syrup consumption, and, therefore, improve the operational characteristics of the product.

The prototype has a mixing chamber with cooling, which is not necessary, does not affect the quality of the final product and leads to a complication of the design and increased energy consumption. In the claimed technical solution, the design is simplified due to the lack of a mixing chamber with a cooler.

An ingredient supply tray (26) is used, connected through a syrup supply unit (3) to syrup containers (11), through which a portion of syrup flows, and then the residues are washed off with a portion of cold water, which simplifies the design of the product and its maintenance, as well as to reduce energy consumption, that is, to improve performance.

The prototype bill acceptor is fixed in the housing. In the claimed technical solution, the bill acceptor (24) is fixed on the rear side of the door (8), so that the receiving hole is on the front side of the door - this makes servicing convenient. In addition, there is a removable coin bag (27) mounted on an arm under the coin acceptor (32) on the back of the door. The result is improved product performance.

The coin acceptor (32) is mounted on the back of the door so that the receiving pad is on the front of the door. As a special case, it is possible to install a bill acceptor with a stacker of notes. In this case, the bill acceptor is fixed in the housing, so that the receiving opening is on the front side of the closed door.

Instead of a special expensive electronic unit, the control system in the claimed utility model uses Netbook (1) located on the back of the door, as well as a control module (31) located in the upper part of the case and a power module (30) located in the lower part of the case , while all three blocks are interconnected by means of wires, which leads to a simplification of the design and improved performance.

The design of the claimed utility model includes nodes that improve operational characteristics. In particular, there is no prototype in the design of the prototype, and the claimed utility model has a hopper (40) fixed in the housing, which ensures delivery of change to the change delivery window (36), mounted on the door (8), and connected to the hopper via a coin guide (33), the door.

Also, in the design of the prototype is missing, and the claimed utility model in the cocktail dispensing window (36) has an optical sensor (7), which is necessary to control the presence of a glass. Thereby, feedback is implemented in the control system of the machine, which leads to improved product performance.

Unlike the prototype, the claimed utility model has actuator flushing systems (39) with an atomizer (38) fixed to the end. Water for flushing comes from the flushing nozzle (34), connected by a tube to a solenoid valve (16), which, in turn, is connected by a pipe to a cooler (37), which leads to an improvement in the operational characteristics of the product (machine). In the presence of washing, the sprayer is in a moistened state, which ensures the stability of the foaming process, improves the consumer properties of the dispensed product (oxygen-containing cocktail), and, therefore, the quality of operation of the product.

Unlike the prototype of the proposed solution, the cup dispenser module (29) is equipped with an optical sensor and an end (i.e., end) switch. Positive effect: feedback implementation - control of piece issuance of a disposable cup, which leads to improved product performance.

In the claimed utility model, the cache box (25) is fixed in the housing (23), which leads to a simplification of the product design and improved operational characteristics, since it allows the use of a bill acceptor model without a banknote stacker.

A speaker with an amplifier (19) is installed in the housing (23), which performs the function of reproducing sound during the preparation of the product, which improves the operational characteristics of the product.

In contrast to the prototype design, the claimed utility model has the following switches that increase control convenience and improve operational characteristics: a switch for switching to setting mode (5) and a switch for draining water (6). In addition, to improve the operational characteristics of the product (machine), a GPRS terminal is provided, which is a separate device, or can be part of the control module (31), while operational control is provided by sending SMS text messages to the operator or owner of the machine.

The technical result of the claimed utility model is to improve the operational characteristics of the product.

The technical result is achieved due to the design of a vending machine for the preparation and sale of oxygen cocktails, comprising a housing with water containers and syrup containers placed in its upper part, which are connected via cooling controller-controlled electromagnetic valves with tubes with a cooling mixing chamber, a drum with glasses connected with a dispenser for these glasses, a box with tubes, a compressor in the lower part of the case, a bill acceptor with a receiving window located on the front side of the door, sour native concentrator, drainage container in the bottom of the case, control system, selection buttons and display are displayed on the front side of the door, in which there is a cocktail dispensing compartment and a dispensing compartment, a water tank and a syrup container, characterized in that the syrup containers are stationary with the possibility of dismantling, the hopper for issuing change is fixed on the body; a change delivery window connected to the hopper by means of a coin guide is mounted on the door; the box for tubes is an accessory of the cocktail dispensing window and is connected to the module for dispensing tubes, while the unit dispensing of tubes is automatic, and the module for dispensing tubes is equipped with a sensor for monitoring the position of the shaft; the control system is installed on the back of the door, the control module is located in the upper part of the case, and the power module is located in the lower part of the case, while all three blocks are interconnected via wires; the coin acceptor is fixed on the rear side of the door, while the receiving pad is located on the front side of the door, and the bill acceptor is fixed on the rear side of the door, so that the receiving hole is on the front side of the door; a removable bag for coins is mounted on the bracket under the coin acceptor on the back of the door; an optical sensor installed in the cocktail dispensing window performs the function of monitoring the presence of a glass; the cup dispenser module is equipped with an optical sensor and a limit switch; there is a cashbox fixed in the case; the presence of a flushing system for the actuator boom with an atomizer fixed to the end, while the flushing nozzle is connected by a pipe to an electromagnetic valve, which, in turn, is connected by a pipe to the cooler; equipped with a switch to switch to setup mode; water drain switch; equipped with a device for sending SMS text messages to the operator or the owner of the machine.

As a special case, Netbook (netbook) is used as a control system. Another special case is that containers with a built-in Mariotte vessel are used as containers for syrup. In addition, a speaker with an amplifier is fixed in the machine body, which performs the function of reproducing sound during the preparation of the product. Another special case in which the machine is equipped with a GPRS terminal for sending SMS text messages to the operator or machine owner as a separate device. Another special case when the GPRS terminal is part of the control module. In addition, it is possible to install a bill acceptor with a stacker of notes.

An example implementation. The consumer, by pressing one of the three buttons (18), selects one of the three tastes offered to him on the display (9). Further, the consumer deposits money in a coin acceptor (32) or a bill acceptor (24). Then, if necessary, the machine issues change by coins previously stored in the hopper (40). Then, using the cup dispenser module (29), a cup is dispensed into the cocktail dispensing window (35). Then a tube is issued using the tube delivery module (28). After that, the optical sensor is interrogated (7) and, if the cup is confirmed, syrup is collected from any syrup container (11) through the corresponding electromagnetic valve of the syrup supply unit (3). Then, through the solenoid valve (15) from the cooler (37) is a set of water. Syrup and water flow through the ingredient feed tray (26) and fall into the previously dispensed glass. Then, an oxygen concentrator (14) is turned on, the output of which is connected by a nylon tube to a sprayer (38) fixed to the end of the actuator boom (39). After that, the actuator slider (2) with the arrow of the actuator fixed to it slides down to the stop. Thus, the nebulizer (38) is immersed in a mixture of syrup and water pre-assembled in a glass. The foaming process begins. The time spent by the sprayer in the glass depends on previously made settings by the operator of the machine. After completion of the cocktail preparation process (expiration of the previously set time spent by the sprayer in the glass), the actuator (39) is turned on and the sprayer (38) is removed from the consumer's glass. Then an audible warning is issued that the oxygen cocktail is ready and the interrogation of the optical sensor (7) begins for the presence of a glass in the cocktail dispensing window. After the glass is removed from the cocktail dispensing window (35), the process of washing the part of the actuator boom that came into contact with the product, as well as the sprayer, is started. The number of flushing cycles is a configurable parameter and depends on the operator of the machine. After flushing is completed, the actuator slider with the actuator boom fixed to it rises to its highest position. Next, the machine analyzes the remains of consumables: water, syrups, tubes, cups, coins in the hopper. In case of insufficient number of glasses in the glass dispenser module (29), the drive for turning the container of glasses (21) is turned on. If the amount of any of the consumables is not equal to zero, the machine goes into standby mode of taste selection. Otherwise, the machine stops its work, and an SMS message is sent to the operator with a request to check the supplies. Further start of the machine is carried out by the operator. Switching to the setting mode is carried out by double pressing the switch (5).
