Description

Feeding mechanism of beverage vending machine

本創作係關於一種飲料販賣機，特別是指一種飲料販賣機之供料機構。This creation is about a beverage vending machine, especially the feeding mechanism of a beverage vending machine.

隨著販售科技蓬勃發展，街道或公共場所常見有各式各樣的自動販賣機，如罐裝飲料或包裝食物等自動化販售設備，而近期則有一種型態的自動販賣機因為可即時提供商品製作而相當受到歡迎，像是現泡咖啡、現榨果汁、可調糖冰比例的茶飲等。然而即時製作型態的自動販賣機存在著一些缺失，例如裝有飲品或其原料的料桶數量僅為一個時，在生意好的情況下就會發生料桶迅速淨空卻來不及馬上補充的窘境，導致消費者上門時撲空買不到飲品，而在生意不好的情況下則有可能發生料桶內的飲品或其原料因放置過久導致品質或味道產生變異，不適合再繼續販賣。此外，當料桶需要進行清潔維護作業時，所述即時製作型態的自動販賣機只好暫時停機，待清潔維護作業完成後方可繼續販賣，在這段停機過程中有可能會失去消費者上門的機會，導致收入減少相當可惜。With the vigorous development of vending technology, various vending machines are common in streets or public places, such as canned drinks or packaged food and other automated vending machines. Recently, there is a type of vending machine because it can be instant It is very popular to provide products, such as freshly brewed coffee, freshly squeezed juice, tea with adjustable sugar and ice ratio. However, there are some shortcomings in the vending machine of the instant production type. For example, when the number of barrels containing drinks or their raw materials is only one, the dilemma of rapid emptying of the barrels but not enough time to replenish them occurs when business is good. As a result, consumers can't buy drinks when they come to the door, and in the case of bad business, it may happen that the drinks in the barrels or their raw materials are left for too long and the quality or taste will change, and they are not suitable for continued selling. In addition, when the barrels need to be cleaned and maintained, the instant-made vending machine has to be temporarily shut down, and the vending machine can only continue to be sold after the cleaning and maintenance operations are completed. During this period of shutdown, consumers may lose their visits. Opportunities, resulting in reduced income is quite a pity.

有鑑於此，本創作之一目的在於提供一種飲料販賣機之供料機構，其可依銷售狀況調整飲品或其原料的供應量，且當該飲料販賣機需進行清潔維護作業時並無須停機，仍可繼續供應飲品或其原料。In view of this, one purpose of this creation is to provide a feeding mechanism for a beverage vending machine, which can adjust the supply of drinks or raw materials according to the sales situation, and does not need to be shut down when the beverage vending machine needs to be cleaned and maintained.

該第一料桶20、該第二料桶40與該第三料桶60可同時填裝有相同之飲料，以下先以該第一料桶20為例說明飲料的流動過程：該第一料桶20內的飲料會依序經由該第一導管38、該第一入口32流經該第一閥門30，當該第一把手39的延伸方向係朝下時，如圖1所示，即代表該第一閥門30令該第一入口32與該第一飲料出口34連通，飲料便會由該第一飲料出口34流出，並依序經由該合流管80、該原料引入口112流經該總閥門110，此時該總閥門110可令該原料引入口112與該出料口114連通，使飲料經由該出料口114流出，並進入其他容器(圖未示)例如供後續製程或供消費者拿取的飲料杯。The first barrel 20, the second barrel 40, and the third barrel 60 can be filled with the same beverage at the same time. The following first takes the first barrel 20 as an example to illustrate the flow process of the beverage: the first material The beverage in the barrel 20 will flow through the first valve 30 through the first conduit 38 and the first inlet 32 in sequence. When the extension direction of the first handle 39 is downward, as shown in FIG. 1, it represents the The first valve 30 connects the first inlet 32 with the first beverage outlet 34, and the beverage will flow out from the first beverage outlet 34, and flow through the main valve through the confluence pipe 80 and the raw material inlet 112 in sequence 110. At this time, the main valve 110 can make the raw material introduction port 112 communicate with the discharge port 114, allowing the beverage to flow out through the discharge port 114 and enter other containers (not shown) such as for subsequent processing or for consumers Take the drink cup.

同理，該第二料桶40內的飲料會依序經由該第二導管58、該第二入口52流經該第二閥門50，值得注意的是，當該第一料桶20內的飲料量充足，業者可事先控制該第二把手59，亦即控制該第二閥門50使該第二入口52不與任何通道連通(包含該第二飲料出口54)，此時飲料的流動路徑就會暫時停止於該第二入口52處而不會繼續流動，僅由該第一料桶20供應飲料，而若該液位感知器100偵測到該第一料桶20內的飲料量不足，業者就能令該第二把手59的延伸方向朝下，如圖1所示，亦即控制該第二閥門50使該第二入口52與該第二飲料出口54連通，飲料便能由該第二飲料出口54流出，並經由該合流管80與該第一料桶20的飲料匯流在一起，再由該原料引入口112流經該總閥門110，此時該總閥門110令該原料引入口112與該出料口114連通，使飲料經由該出料口114流出並進入其他容器或製程。該第三料桶60之飲料的流動方式與上述相同，故不再贅述。In the same way, the beverage in the second barrel 40 will flow through the second valve 50 through the second conduit 58 and the second inlet 52 in sequence. It is worth noting that when the beverage in the first barrel 20 If the amount is sufficient, the manufacturer can control the second handle 59 in advance, that is, control the second valve 50 so that the second inlet 52 does not communicate with any channel (including the second beverage outlet 54), and the flow path of the beverage will be Stop at the second inlet 52 temporarily without continuing to flow, and only the first barrel 20 supplies beverages. If the liquid level sensor 100 detects that the amount of beverage in the first barrel 20 is insufficient, the industry The extension direction of the second handle 59 can be made downward, as shown in FIG. 1, that is, the second valve 50 is controlled to make the second inlet 52 communicate with the second beverage outlet 54, and the beverage can be passed from the second The beverage outlet 54 flows out and merges with the beverage in the first barrel 20 through the confluence pipe 80, and then flows through the main valve 110 from the raw material introduction port 112. At this time, the main valve 110 makes the raw material introduction port 112 It communicates with the discharge port 114 so that the beverage flows out through the discharge port 114 and enters other containers or processes. The flow of the beverage in the third barrel 60 is the same as the above, so it will not be repeated here.

藉此，該第一料桶20填裝飲料的空間無須設計得太大，其好處在於可避免生意冷清時過多的飲料置放太久導致品質或味道產生變異，不適合再繼續販賣，另一方面，即便該第一料桶20內的飲料量不足，業者可以令該第二料桶40、該第三料桶60的飲料流出支援，不會發生飲料供應不及的窘境，換言之，該飲料販賣機之供料機構10可依銷售狀況調整飲料的供應量。In this way, the space for filling the beverage in the first barrel 20 does not need to be designed too much. The advantage is that it can avoid that too many beverages are placed for too long when the business is cold and the quality or taste will change, which is not suitable for continued sales. Even if the amount of beverage in the first barrel 20 is insufficient, the industry can support the outflow of the beverage from the second barrel 40 and the third barrel 60 without the dilemma of insufficient beverage supply. In other words, the beverage vending machine The feeding mechanism 10 can adjust the supply of beverages according to the sales situation.

當該第一料桶20需要進行清潔維護作業時，業者可控制該第一把手39，亦即控制該第一閥門30使該第一入口32與該第一清洗水出口36連通、與該第一飲料出口34不連通，清洗水便能由該第一料桶20依序經由該第一導管38、該第一入口32、接著再由該第一清洗水出口36流出，而不會流入該合流管80中，於此同時，該第二料桶40、該第三料桶60內的飲料仍可繼續依序經由該合流管80、該原料引入口112、該出料口114進入其他容器或其他後續的飲料製程，換言之，當該第一料桶20需要進行清潔維護作業時，該飲料販賣機之供料機構10無須停機，依然可以繼續供應飲料，不會造成販賣中斷。該第二料桶40、該第三料桶60需要進行清潔維護作業時，其步驟與功效與上述相同，故不再贅述。When the first bucket 20 needs to be cleaned and maintained, the industry can control the first handle 39, that is, control the first valve 30 so that the first inlet 32 is connected to the first washing water outlet 36 and is connected to the first cleaning water outlet 36. If the beverage outlet 34 is not connected, the washing water can flow out from the first barrel 20 through the first conduit 38, the first inlet 32, and then the first washing water outlet 36 in sequence, without flowing into the confluence In the pipe 80, at the same time, the beverage in the second barrel 40 and the third barrel 60 can continue to enter other containers or via the confluence pipe 80, the raw material introduction port 112, and the discharge port 114 in sequence. For other subsequent beverage manufacturing processes, in other words, when the first barrel 20 needs to be cleaned and maintained, the feeding mechanism 10 of the beverage vending machine does not need to be shut down, and the beverage can still be supplied without interruption of sales. When the second bucket 40 and the third bucket 60 need to be cleaned and maintained, the steps and effects are the same as those described above, so they will not be repeated.

欲清潔該出料口114時，該總閥門110可令該出料口114與該清洗水注入口116連通、與該原料引入口112不連通，如此一來清洗水便能流入該清洗水注入口116再由該出料口114流出。於其他可能的實施例中，該總閥門110可省略該清洗水注入口116不設，使該總閥門110僅需單純地控制該原料引入口112與該出料口114連通或不連通。When the discharge port 114 is to be cleaned, the main valve 110 can make the discharge port 114 communicate with the cleaning water injection port 116, but not communicate with the raw material introduction port 112, so that the cleaning water can flow into the cleaning water injection port. The inlet 116 then flows out from the discharge port 114. In other possible embodiments, the main valve 110 may omit the washing water injection port 116, so that the main valve 110 only needs to simply control the raw material introduction port 112 and the discharge port 114 to communicate or not communicate.

基於本創作之精神，該飲料販賣機之供料機構10之結構可以有其他變化，例如該第三料桶60與該第三閥門70可省略不設，該飲料販賣機之供料機構10依然能達成上述之所有功效，亦或者可視需求再增設一第四料桶與一第四閥門等以此類推，增設數量無特別限制；於其他可能的實施例中，該第一清洗水出口36、該第二清洗水出口56、該第三清洗水出口76可省略不設，在此狀況下，該飲料販賣機之供料機構10就必須統一進行清潔維護作業，清洗水則可經由該總閥門110的出料口114流出；該液位感知器100可省略不設，該延伸管90則可採用透明材料製成，業者便能以目視之方式觀察該延伸管90中的飲料液面高度，甚至該延伸管90可省略不設，該些料桶則可採用透明材料製成，業者便能以目視之方式直接觀察該些料桶中的飲料量是否足夠。Based on the spirit of this creation, the structure of the feeding mechanism 10 of the beverage vending machine can have other changes. For example, the third barrel 60 and the third valve 70 can be omitted, and the feeding mechanism 10 of the beverage vending machine is still All the above-mentioned effects can be achieved, or a fourth bucket and a fourth valve can be added as required, and the number of additions is not particularly limited; in other possible embodiments, the first cleaning water outlet 36, The second cleaning water outlet 56 and the third cleaning water outlet 76 can be omitted. In this case, the feeding mechanism 10 of the beverage vending machine must be cleaned and maintained uniformly, and the cleaning water can pass through the main valve The discharge port 114 of the 110 flows out; the liquid level sensor 100 can be omitted, and the extension tube 90 can be made of a transparent material, so that the industry can visually observe the beverage level in the extension tube 90, Even the extension tube 90 can be omitted, and the barrels can be made of transparent materials, so that the industry can directly observe whether the amount of beverage in the barrels is sufficient.
