FIG. 1 is a side sectional view of the beverage brewing apparatus according to the first embodiment, FIG. 2 is a side sectional view showing a state where the upper cup 19 is inserted in FIG. 1, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the filter and (b) the upper cup, FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing the extraction state, and FIG. 5 is a block diagram of the load detection circuit.
飲料抽出装置 1において、 筐体 2は第 1図の右側が正面であり、 金属 またはプラスチックで形成され、 機械室 3 と抽出室 5 とカップ室 7とに 大別される。 機械室 3には電磁波発生装置と してのマグネ トロン 9とマ グネ ト ロン 9から発生した電磁波を反射拡散させる放射空間 1 1 とマグ ネ ト口ン制御回路基板 1 3が納められ、 第 1 の電磁シールド 1 5によつ て電磁波成分が外部へ漏洩することを防いでいる。 放射空間 1 1の下部 には電磁シールド 1 5の開口がありプラスチック等の非導電材料で作ら れた電磁放射窓 1 7が取り付けられている。 マグネト ロン 9と放射空間 1 1 の部分は電磁放射窓 1 7の部分を除いて電磁シールド 1 5に囲まれ ていて、 この部分は従来公知の技術であるから特に説明せず、 断面は示 していない。 そうしてマグネト ロン 9から放射された電磁波は、 電磁放 射窓 1 7から抽出室 5へ向けて放射される。 In the beverage brewing apparatus 1, the housing 2 is made of metal or plastic on the right side of FIG. 1 and is made of metal or plastic. It is roughly divided. The machine room 3 houses a magnetron 9 as an electromagnetic wave generator, a radiation space 11 for reflecting and diffusing electromagnetic waves generated from the magnetron 9, and a magnet control circuit board 13. The electromagnetic shield 15 prevents electromagnetic wave components from leaking to the outside. At the lower part of the radiation space 11, an opening of an electromagnetic shield 15 is provided, and an electromagnetic radiation window 17 made of a non-conductive material such as plastic is attached. The magnetron 9 and the radiation space 11 are surrounded by an electromagnetic shield 15 except for the electromagnetic radiation window 17, and since this is a conventionally known technique, no particular description is given, and the cross section is shown. Not. The electromagnetic wave radiated from the magnetron 9 is radiated from the electromagnetic radiation window 17 toward the extraction chamber 5.
抽出室 5には機能性フィルタ保持手段と しての上カップ 1 9が挿入さ れる。 上カップ 1 9は本体部 1 9 aの上方の一端にハンドル 1 9 bが設 けられ、 また上方両端にはつば部 1 9 cが設けられている。 上カップ 1 9は後から述べる理由でシールド効果が必要であり、 金属製が望ましい が、 プラスチック等で形成する場合は内面に金属ネッ トを重層するか、 または金属メ ツキを施す等による第 2の電磁シールド 1 9 eによってシ ールド効果を与える必要がある。 この第 2の電磁シールド 1 9 eは第 1 の電磁シールド 1 5の開口である電磁放射窓 1 7部分を包囲するように して、 第 1の電磁シールド 1 5とともに電磁波成分が外部に漏れないよ うにシールドしている。 上力ップ 1 9の底面には細かい複数の孔 1 9 f が開けられており、 抽出した抽出液が滴下するようになっている。 当然 電磁シールド 1 9 eにも孔が開けられるが、 孔が小さいためシール ド効 果は保持できる。  An upper cup 19 is inserted into the extraction chamber 5 as a functional filter holding means. The upper cup 19 has a handle 19b at one end above the main body 19a, and a flange 19c at both upper ends. The upper cup 19 needs to have a shielding effect for a reason to be described later, and is preferably made of metal, but when it is formed of plastic or the like, a second layer is formed by layering a metal net on the inner surface or applying a metal plating. It is necessary to give a shield effect by the electromagnetic shield 19 e of this. The second electromagnetic shield 19 e surrounds the electromagnetic radiation window 17, which is the opening of the first electromagnetic shield 15, so that the electromagnetic wave components do not leak outside together with the first electromagnetic shield 15. Is shielded. A plurality of fine holes 19 f are formed in the bottom surface of the upper power switch 19, and the extracted liquid is dropped. Of course, a hole can also be made in the electromagnetic shield 19e, but the small hole keeps the shielding effect.
抽出室 5において上カップ 1 9を受け入れるために正面 (第 1図, 第 2図では右側) は大きな開口 5 a となっており、 図示していないが必要 によって扉などを設けてもよい。 上方の左右 (第 1図, 第 2図において は向こう側と手前側) に溝 5 bを持ったレール 5 cを設け、 抽出室 5の 前方 (第 2図では図の右方) から溝 5 bに上カップ 1 9のつば部 1 9 c を揷入するようにして奥の方へ滑り込ませる。 安全スィツチ 2 1は抽出 室 5の上方で第 1図, 第 2図の左方にあり、 上カップ 1 9の先端が当接 するとオンになるようになつている。 抽出室 5の底部は開口 5 dとなつ ている。 The front (right side in FIGS. 1 and 2) has a large opening 5a for receiving the upper cup 19 in the extraction chamber 5, and a door or the like may be provided if necessary, though not shown. Upper left and right (in Figs. 1 and 2 Is provided with a rail 5c with a groove 5b on the other side and on the near side. From the front of the extraction chamber 5 (the right side of the figure in Fig. 2), the groove 1b is inserted into the groove 5b. And slide it inward. The safety switch 21 is located above the extraction chamber 5 and to the left of FIGS. 1 and 2, and is turned on when the tip of the upper cup 19 contacts. The bottom of the extraction chamber 5 has an opening 5d.
カップ室 7においては正面 (第 1図, 第 2図の右方) はカップ 2 3を 出し入れする開口 7 aがあり、 図示していないが、 必要によって扉など を設けてもょレ、。底面には任意の力ップ 2 3を載置する台座 2 5があり、 この台座 2 5の下には荷重検出器である荷重センサ 2 7を配置し、 この 出力は制御回路基板 1 3に接続されて台座 2 5の上に載置された物体の 荷重を検出できるようになつている。  The front of the cup chamber 7 (the right side of Figs. 1 and 2) has an opening 7a for taking in and out the cup 23. Although not shown, a door or the like may be provided if necessary. On the bottom is a pedestal 25 on which an arbitrary force bar 23 is placed.Under this pedestal 25, a load sensor 27, which is a load detector, is placed, and this output is sent to the control circuit board 13 The load of an object connected and mounted on the pedestal 25 can be detected.
筐体 2の正面 (第 1図, 第 2図では右側) には電源スィッチボタン 2 9およびスタートボタン 3 1が配置されている。  A power switch button 29 and a start button 31 are arranged on the front of the housing 2 (right side in Figs. 1 and 2).
上カップ 1 9において、 その上面よりやや下にフィルタ載置部 1 9 d が内側に張り出しており、 この上に機能性フィルタ 3 5と一体に形成さ れたつば部 3 3を載置する。 機能性フィルタ 3 5の下端 3 5 aはェンポ ス加工や熱圧着などの方法で閉じられている。  In the upper cup 19, a filter mounting portion 19d slightly extends below the upper surface thereof, and a flange portion 33 integrally formed with the functional filter 35 is mounted thereon. The lower end 35 a of the functional filter 35 is closed by a method such as embossing or thermocompression bonding.
この機能性フィルタ 3 5は、 低温の液体は透過させず、 水の沸騰点に 近い高温の液体を透過させるように働く ものであればよい。 機能性フィ ルタの第 1の例を示せば、 パルプ繊維でできた紙、 パルプ繊維、 綿また はポリエチレン、 ポリプロピレン等の繊維で作られた織物または不織布 など、 または細孔を設けたプラスチック等を基材とし、 この繊維の間、 またはプラスチック等の細孔を目詰まりするように所定温度近辺で溶解 する熱可溶性材料を塗布または含浸させたものである。  The functional filter 35 may be any filter that does not transmit a low-temperature liquid but transmits a high-temperature liquid close to the boiling point of water. The first example of a functional filter is paper, made of pulp fiber, woven or non-woven fabric made of pulp fiber, cotton or fibers such as polyethylene or polypropylene, or plastic with pores. The base material is coated or impregnated with a heat-soluble material that dissolves at around a predetermined temperature so as to clog pores between the fibers or plastic or the like.
この熱可溶性材料は、 食用に適したものであって、 余り味もなく、 所 定温度以下の温度では液体を通過しにく く、 所定温度以上の温度では通 過しゃすくできることを要し、'たとえば寒天がこの条件に合致して好適 である。 寒天は天草などの紅藻類の海藻に存在する粘性物質を熱水抽出 し水分を除去したもので、 融点は 8 0度 Cないし 1 0 0度 C、 凝固点は 3 5度 Cないし 4 5度 C程度というヒステリシス特性を持っている。 他に熱可溶性材料として、 カラギナン、 ファーセレラン、 ジュランガ ム、 澱粉、 加工澱粉より選ばれる少なく とも 1種以上の糊料が同様に有 効である。 また用途は限定されるが糖質の飴状物質なども用いることが できよ う。 This heat-soluble material is edible, has little taste, At a temperature below a certain temperature, it is difficult for liquid to pass through, and at a temperature above a predetermined temperature, it is necessary to be able to pass through the liquid. For example, agar is suitable to meet this condition. Agar is a hot-water extract of viscous substances present in red seaweeds such as Amakusa, and the water is removed.The melting point is 80 ° C to 100 ° C, and the freezing point is 35 ° C to 45 ° C. It has a degree of hysteresis characteristic. Another heat-soluble material is at least one paste selected from carrageenan, furceleran, julangam, starch, and modified starch. In addition, although the use is limited, a saccharide-like candy-like substance may be used.
この機能性フィルタ 3 5は、 上記のように繊維に寒天を含浸させた単 層のものでもよいが、 寒天を塗布または含浸させて目詰まりを起こさせ た機能性フィルタと通常の濾過フィルタとをラミネートしたものでも差 し支えなく、 その他種々の変形が可能である。  The functional filter 35 may be a single layer in which fibers are impregnated with agar as described above, but the functional filter in which agar is applied or impregnated to cause clogging and a normal filtration filter are used. Laminated ones can be used, and various other deformations are possible.
機能性フィルタの第 2の例として、 ポリエステル、 ポリオレフイン等 の疎水性熱融着性繊維を、 たとえば湿式法で厚さ方向に略直線状の径約 7 0〜 2 5 0 μ mの微細孔を有する不織布に形成した第 1の不織布層 と、 ポリプロピレン、 ポリエチレン等の疎水性熱融着性繊維を不織布に 形成した第 2の不織布層とを積層し第 1の不織布層の微細孔が第 2の層 の繊維で適度にふさがれ、 このフィルタが常温の水に対して通液性がな く、 加熱された水はこのブイルタに対する表面張力が低下することを利 用した機能性フィルタを用いてもよい。  As a second example of a functional filter, hydrophobic heat fusible fibers such as polyester and polyolefin are used.For example, micropores with a diameter of approximately 70 to 250 μm that are approximately linear in the thickness direction by a wet method are used. A first nonwoven fabric layer formed on a nonwoven fabric having a nonwoven fabric and a second nonwoven fabric layer formed on a nonwoven fabric with hydrophobic heat-fusible fibers such as polypropylene and polyethylene are laminated, and the fine pores of the first nonwoven fabric layer form Even if a functional filter is used, which is made up of a layer that is adequately blocked by the fibers of the layer, this filter has no liquid permeability to water at room temperature, and the heated water reduces the surface tension of this filter. Good.
本発明においては、 このほか、 上記のような、 低温の液体は透過させ ず、 水の沸騰点に近い高温の液体を透過させるように働く性質を持った 素材であれば機能性フィルタとして用いることができる。  In the present invention, in addition to the above, a material having a property of not allowing low-temperature liquid to permeate and permeating high-temperature liquid close to the boiling point of water can be used as a functional filter. Can be.
このように構成され、 つぎにその動作を説明する。 まず電源スィ ッチ ボタン 2 9を押し、 上カップ 1 9のつば部 1 9 dに機能性フィルタ 3 5 のつば部 3 3を載置し、 機能性フィルタ 3 5に抽出材 3 7 (この場合コ 一ヒー粉) と抽出液 3 9 (この場合、 水) をそれぞれ所定量入れる。 ハ ン ドル 1 9 bを持って筐体 2の開口 5 aから上カップ 1 9を抽出室 5内 につば部 1 9 cがレール 5 c の溝 5 bに差し込まれるようにして押し込 むと上カップ 1 9で安全スィツチ 2 1 のァクチユエータが押されて飲料 抽出装置 1に通電が可能になる。 ここでスタートボタン 3 1を押すと制 御回路基板 1 3によりマグネトロン 9の発振を開始させ、 放射空間 1 1 から電磁放射窓 1 7を通って上カップ 1 9内に電磁波が放射され、 抽出 液 3 9は加熱される。 The operation is described below. First, press the power switch button 2 9 to attach the functional filter 3 5 to the collar 19 d of the upper cup 19 Place the collar 33 of the extractor, and put the extract material 37 (in this case, coffee powder) and extract solution 39 (in this case, water) into the functional filter 35 in predetermined amounts. Hold the handle 19 b and push the upper cup 19 from the opening 5 a of the housing 2 into the extraction chamber 5 so that the flange 19 c is inserted into the groove 5 b of the rail 5 c and then push it up. The actuator of the safety switch 21 is pushed by the cup 19 so that the beverage brewing device 1 can be energized. Here, when the start button 31 is pressed, the control circuit board 13 starts the oscillation of the magnetron 9, the electromagnetic wave is emitted from the radiation space 11 through the electromagnetic radiation window 17 into the upper cup 19, and the extraction liquid 39 is heated.
電源オンとともに荷重センサ 2 7は第 4図の荷重 Bの検出を開始す る。 荷重 Bは力ップ 2 3と台座 2 5の重さに滴下した抽出液 3 9の重さ を加えたものである。 電源オン当初は力ップ 2 3と台座 2 5の重さその ものを計量する。 台座 2 5にカップ 2 3が載置されていないと、 滴下し た抽出液を受けることができないので、 スタートポタン 3 1が押されて もマグネ トロン 9が発振しないようにすることもできる。  When the power is turned on, the load sensor 27 starts detecting the load B shown in FIG. The load B is obtained by adding the weight of the extracted liquid 39 to the weight of the force 23 and the weight of the pedestal 25. When the power is turned on, weigh the weight of the power supply 23 and the pedestal 25 themselves. If the cup 23 is not placed on the pedestal 25, the dropped extract cannot be received, so that even if the start button 31 is pressed, the magnetron 9 can be prevented from oscillating.
抽出材は水が注入されてから抽出が始まる。 低温の間は抽出の程度が 少ないが、 抽出液 3 9が高温になるほど抽出は進行する。 一方第 4図の ように抽出液 3 9の温度 Aは加熱により時間とともに上昇するが、 機能 性フィルタ 3 5からの抽出液 3 9の滴下はカーブ Bのように機能性フィ ルタ 3 5の働きにより、 ある時刻 Cから始まり、 時刻 Dを過ぎると大部 分の抽出材が滴下して荷重センサ 2 7にかかる総重量が飽和する。 検出 には Bが所定量を超えたことを検出してもよいが、 その場合カップ 2 3 の重量が一定していることと、抽出液 3 9の量が一定である必要があり、 カーブ Bの飽和を求めればこの問題を回避できる。 この動作を第 5図の 荷重検出回路のプロック図を用いて説明する。  Extraction of the extraction material begins after water is injected. Although the degree of extraction is low during low temperatures, the extraction proceeds as the temperature of the extract 39 increases. On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 4, the temperature A of the extract 39 increases with time due to heating, but the drop of the extract 39 from the functional filter 35 causes the function of the functional filter 35 as shown in curve B. As a result, starting from a certain time C and passing the time D, most of the extraction material drops and the total weight applied to the load sensor 27 is saturated. For detection, it may be detected that B exceeds a predetermined amount, but in this case, the weight of the cup 23 must be constant and the amount of the extract 39 must be constant. This problem can be avoided by finding the saturation of. This operation will be described with reference to the block diagram of the load detection circuit in FIG.
第 5図において、 荷重センサ 2 7の出力はアナログ—デジタル変換器 4 1でデジタル値に変換される。 スィ ッチ 4 3は常時は中点 4 3 aにあ .り、 所定時間ごとにメモリ 4 5に接続された接点 4 3 bとメモリ 4 7に 接続された接点 4 3 cに交互に切り替えられる。 メモリ 4 5 , 4 7の内 容はスィッチが切り替えられたときに更新されるものとする。 メモリ 4 5 , 4 7の出力は図のようにスィッチ 4 9 , スィッチ 5 1の各接点に接 続され、 スィッチ 4 9 , 5 1はスィ ッチ 4 3に連動して、 スィッチ 4 3 より少し遅れてそれぞれの接点 aから b へ、 また aに戻った後に aから cへと切り替えられる。 このスィッチ 4 9 , スィ ッチ 5 1の出力値を比 較器 5 3に入力すれば所定時間ごとの変化が読みとれるので、 抽出が始 まったか、 抽出が終わって荷重 Bの変化が飽和したかがわかり、 飽和し た場合は抽出の終了であると検出してマグネ トロン 9の動作を停止して 加熱を終了する。 図示していないが、 これを検出してブザーを鳴らす、 またはランプを点灯する等で抽出の終了を表示することができる。 第 5 図の荷重検出回路は一例であり、 どのような方法でも第 4図の荷重変化 を検出できるものであればよい。 In Figure 5, the output of load sensor 27 is an analog-to-digital converter. 4 Converted to a digital value by 1. The switch 43 is always at the midpoint 43a, and is alternately switched at predetermined time intervals between the contact 43b connected to the memory 45 and the contact 43c connected to the memory 47. . The contents of the memories 45 and 47 are updated when the switches are switched. The outputs of memories 45 and 47 are connected to the contacts of switches 49 and 51 as shown in the figure.Switches 49 and 51 are linked with switch 43 and are slightly less than switch 43. Each contact is switched from a to b with a delay and then from a to c after returning to a. If the output values of the switches 49 and 51 are input to the comparator 53, the change at every predetermined time can be read, so that the extraction has started or the change of the load B has been saturated after the extraction has been completed. When it is saturated, it is detected that the extraction is completed, and the operation of the magnetron 9 is stopped to end the heating. Although not shown, the end of extraction can be displayed by detecting this and sounding a buzzer or turning on a lamp. The load detection circuit in FIG. 5 is an example, and any method may be used as long as it can detect the change in load in FIG.
以上のようにこの実施形態によれば、 上カップ 1 9に機能性フィルタ 3 5をセッ トしてその中に抽出材 3 7と抽出液 3 9を入れ、 上カップ 1 9を筐体 2に装着すれば電源の準備ができ、 スタートボタン 3 1を押す ことでマグネ トロン 9が動作して加熱が始まり、 抽出が終われば荷重セ ンサ 2 7の変化から検出でき、 マグネ トロン 9の動作が停止するので、 抽出終了とともに加熱が終了し、 加熱しすぎることによる渋みや苦みを 生ずることなく誰でも手軽に均一の味の飲料を抽出できる。  As described above, according to this embodiment, the functional filter 35 is set in the upper cup 19, the extract material 37 and the extract 39 are put therein, and the upper cup 19 is placed in the housing 2. When installed, the power supply is ready.Pressing the start button 3 1 activates the magnetron 9 to start heating, and when extraction is completed, the change in the load sensor 27 can be detected and the operation of the magnetron 9 stops. As a result, the heating is finished as soon as the extraction is completed, and anyone can easily extract a beverage having a uniform taste without causing astringency or bitterness due to excessive heating.
また、 電磁シールド 1 5と 1 9 e とにより加熱される範囲が限定され るので、 マグネトロン 9は比較的小さなものでよく、 電力も節約できる ものである。  In addition, since the range of heating by the electromagnetic shields 15 and 19 e is limited, the magnetron 9 may be relatively small and power can be saved.
さらに、 抽出液を受ける力ップゃ荷重センサ等が電磁シールドの外に あるので、 金属製のカップや、 電磁調理器に入れられないカップ等も使 用でき、 金属部品を含む荷重センサをシールドする手間を要しない。 In addition, the force sensor that receives the extract and the load sensor, etc. Because of this, metal cups and cups that cannot be placed in an electromagnetic cooker can be used, eliminating the need to shield load sensors including metal parts.
なお、 ここではコーヒーの抽出の例を挙げたが、 コーヒーに限らず、 緑茶、 紅茶、 ハーブティ、 薬草等何にでも適用することができる。  Here, an example of coffee extraction is given, but the invention is not limited to coffee but can be applied to green tea, black tea, herbal tea, herbs, and anything else.
またスタートスィッチがなくても安全スィッチ 2 1がオンになるとマ グネト ロン 9の動作がスタートするように構成してもよい。  Further, even if there is no start switch, the operation of the magnetron 9 may be started when the safety switch 21 is turned on.
(実施の形態 2 ) (Embodiment 2)
実施の形態 1では、 限られた範囲を電磁シールドで囲い、 その中で加 熱する構成を示した。 ここでは通常の電子レンジと同様な、 筐体全体を 電磁シールドで囲む構成について説明する。 実施の形態 1の各図と同じ 機能の部分には同じ符号を付けて説明を省略する。 第 6図の前面から見 た飲料抽出装置の概要図において、 筐体 5 5は通常の電子レンジと同様 な構成であり、 図示しないが筐体内面は全面的に電磁シールドがされて いる。 筐体 5 5の前面には通常の電子レンジと同様に電磁シールドのた めの穴あき金属板等をガラス内面に設けた扉 5 7をロ ックできるように なっており、 筐体 5 5の内面奥からは機能性フィルタ 3 5のつば部 3 3 を載置するフィルタ載置部 5 9を突出させている。  In the first embodiment, a configuration is described in which a limited range is surrounded by an electromagnetic shield and heat is applied therein. Here, a configuration similar to a normal microwave oven, in which the entire housing is surrounded by an electromagnetic shield, will be described. Portions having the same functions as those in the respective drawings of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted. In the schematic view of the beverage extraction device as viewed from the front in FIG. 6, the housing 55 has the same configuration as a normal microwave oven, and although not shown, the inner surface of the housing is entirely electromagnetically shielded. The front of the housing 55 can be locked with a door 57 provided with a perforated metal plate or the like on the inner surface of the glass for electromagnetic shielding as in a normal microwave oven. A filter mounting portion 59 on which the flange portion 33 of the functional filter 35 is mounted protrudes from the inner surface of the inside.
底部には任意の力ップ 2 3を載置する台座 6 1があり、 台座 6 1の下 には荷重センサ 2 7が装着されている。 荷重センサ 2 7は金属部分があ るので、 そのままでは電磁波によって加熱されるので、 台座 6 1を導電 性にするか、 またはその下に導電性の材料を置いてそれらを筐体に設置 して電磁シールドの一部として、 荷重センサ 2 7が加熱されないように する。  At the bottom is a pedestal 61 on which an arbitrary force 23 is placed, and a load sensor 27 is mounted below the pedestal 61. Since the load sensor 27 has a metal part and is heated as it is by electromagnetic waves, the pedestal 61 is made conductive, or a conductive material is placed underneath, and they are installed in the housing. As part of the electromagnetic shield, keep the load sensor 27 from heating.
このように構成して、 以下その動作は実施の形態 1 と同様であり、 図 示しないマグネトロンにより発生した電磁波によって機能性フィルタ 3 5内の抽出液 3 9が加熱され、 抽出材 3 7から抽出してカップ 2 3に滴 下する。 台座 6 1を介したカップ 2 3と抽出液 3 9の重量の総和または 重量増加の飽和を検出してマグネト口ンを停止すれば、 実施の形態 1 と 同様の機能を果たすことができる。 With this configuration, the operation is the same as that of the first embodiment, and the functional filter 3 is generated by an electromagnetic wave generated by a magnetron (not shown). The extraction solution 39 in 5 is heated, extracted from the extraction material 37 and dropped into the cup 23. The same function as that of the first embodiment can be achieved by stopping the magnet opening by detecting the saturation of the sum of the weights of the cups 23 and the extract 39 via the pedestal 61 or the increase in the weight.
操作部については、 通常の電子レンジと同様な構成にしてもよく、 実 施の形態 1 と同様な操作機能としてもよい。  The operation unit may have the same configuration as a normal microwave oven, or may have the same operation function as that of the first embodiment.
第 7図は、 第 6図におけるフィルタ載置部の取り付け位置を変えた変 形例を示した斜視図で、 扉 6 3の内面にフィルタ載置部 6 5を配置した もので、 動作については第 6図のものと同様である。  FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a modified example in which the mounting position of the filter mounting portion in FIG. 6 is changed, in which the filter mounting portion 65 is arranged on the inner surface of the door 63. It is similar to that of FIG.
(実施の形態 3 ) (Embodiment 3)
第 8図は実施の形態 3の飲料抽出装置の正面から見た断面図である。 第 1図との差異は上力ップ 1 9にはこの例では 3個の機能性フィルタ 2 FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of a beverage extraction device according to Embodiment 3 as viewed from the front. The difference from Fig. 1 is that the top filter 19 has three functional filters 2 in this example.
5が載置できるようになっており、 それに対応して力ップ 1 9の下方の 複数の開口 1 9 f も 3グループ設けてある。 もちろん第 1の力ップ室 5 の下方の開口 5 dも 3個設けてある。 そして台座 2 5や荷重センサ 2 7 も 3個ずつ設けてある。 5 can be placed, and correspondingly, there are also three groups of openings 19 f below the force switch 19. Of course, three openings 5d below the first force-up chamber 5 are also provided. Also, three pedestals 25 and three load sensors 27 are provided.
このように構成することによって第 1の電磁シールド 1 5と第 2の電 磁シールド 1 9 eで囲まれた空間にマグネ トロン 9の放射する電磁波が 行き渡り、 3個の機能性フィルタ 3 5の中に抽出材 3 7を収容し、 抽出 液 3 9を入れて、 この抽出液 3 9を放射された電磁波で加熱し、 一斉に 抽出することができる。  With this configuration, the electromagnetic wave radiated by the magnetron 9 circulates in the space surrounded by the first electromagnetic shield 15 and the second electromagnetic shield 19 e, and the three functional filters 35 The extraction material 37 is contained in the extraction material 37, and the extraction solution 39 is put therein. The extraction solution 39 is heated by the radiated electromagnetic waves, and can be extracted at once.
抽出されてカップ 2 3 a, 2 3 b , 2 3 cにそれぞれ滴下したした抽 出液はそれぞれの荷重センサ 2 7 a , 2 7 b , 2 7 cで実施の形態 1の ように検出されるが、 抽出材の量のばらつきや抽出液 3 9の量のばらつ き、 機能性フィルタ 3 5のばらつきなどで、 抽出の終了がばらつく こと がある。 そのために検出回路は荷重センサごとに設けておき、 すべての 荷重センサが抽出完了を検出した後にマグネ トロン 9の動作を停止する ように構成すればよい。 この場合早めに抽出し終わって抽出終了が検出 された力ップに対応して終了を検出するランプが点灯すれば、 作業上好 都合であり、 また検出が終わってカップ 2 3を取り出しても、 抽出終了 状態を保持しておき、 すべての抽出が終わってマグネ ト口ンの動作が停 止したときにリセッ トされるようにしておけばよい。 The extracted liquid dropped and dropped on the cups 23a, 23b, and 23c is detected by the load sensors 27a, 27b, and 27c as in the first embodiment. However, the end of extraction may vary due to variations in the amount of extract material, variations in the amount of extract 39, variations in the functional filter 35, etc. There is. Therefore, a detection circuit may be provided for each load sensor, and the operation of the magnetron 9 may be stopped after all the load sensors have detected the completion of extraction. In this case, it is convenient for work if the lamp for detecting the end is turned on in response to the power at which the extraction is completed early and the end of the extraction is detected, and even if the cup 23 is removed after the detection is completed. However, the extraction end state may be maintained so that it is reset when the operation of the magnet port stops after all extractions have been completed.
もちろんマグネトロン 9の動作は、 たとえばすべての機能性フィルタ が装着し終わるのを待ってスタートが許されるようにしてもよいし、 ま た力ップ 1 9が装着されたらスタートが許されるようにしてもよい。 ま た装着されたすベての機能性フィルタに対応するカップ 2 3が台座 2 5 に載置されたことを検出してスタートが許されるようにするなど、 用途 に応じて細かい配慮が望ましい。 これらはリ ミ ッ トスィツチや荷重セン サ 2 7の検出回路の組み合わせで実施可能である。  Of course, the operation of the magnetron 9 may be started, for example, after all the functional filters have been installed, or it may be started when the power switch 19 is installed. Is also good. In addition, it is desirable to perform detailed considerations according to the intended use, such as detecting that the cups 23 corresponding to all the mounted functional filters have been mounted on the pedestal 25 and permitting the start. These can be implemented by a combination of a limit switch and a detection circuit of the load sensor 27.
また本実施形態は実施の形態 2の構成と組み合わせて実施してもよい のは当然である。  This embodiment may be implemented in combination with the structure of the second embodiment.
このよ うに本実施形態においては複数の力ップに対して同時に抽出滴 下でき、 とくに飲食店等で業として用いる場合に適している。  As described above, in the present embodiment, it is possible to simultaneously extract and drop a plurality of forceps, and it is particularly suitable for use as a business in restaurants and the like.
以上各実施形態において、 部材の形状の細部や部材の個数などは任意 に設定すればよいものである。  In the above embodiments, the details of the shape of the members, the number of the members, and the like may be arbitrarily set.
(実施の形態 4 ) (Embodiment 4)
以下図面を用いて本発明の実施の形態 4における飲料抽出装置につい て説明する。第 9図は本発明の実施の形態 4の飲料抽出装置の側断面図、 第 1 0図は同じく第 9図の上カップ 1 9を挿入する状態を示す側断面図 である。 機能性フィルタと上カップについては第 3図 ( a ), (b ) を、 同じく抽出状態を示す説明図は第 4図を、 同じく荷重検出回路は第 5図 を参照する。 なお、 実施の形態 1、 2、 および 3の各図と同じ機能の部 分については同じ符号を用いて説明を省く。 Hereinafter, a beverage extraction device according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 9 is a side sectional view of a beverage brewing apparatus according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention, and FIG. 10 is a side sectional view showing a state where the upper cup 19 of FIG. 9 is inserted. Fig. 3 (a) and (b) for the functional filter and upper cup, Similarly, the explanatory diagram showing the extraction state is shown in FIG. 4, and the load detection circuit is similarly shown in FIG. It is to be noted that the same reference numerals denote parts having the same functions as those in the drawings of Embodiments 1, 2, and 3, and a description thereof will be omitted.
飲料抽出装置 1において、 実施の形態 1の第 1図と異なる点は、 抽出 室 5において上カップ 1 9を受け入れるための正面 (第 9図, 第 1 0図 では右側) の大きな開口 5 a とカツプ室 7の開口 7 a との両方の前方を 覆う扉 8を設け、 縦方向の一方の辺に設けた蝶番により開閉自在とし、 適宜口ック装置を設けて閉状態で口ックできるようにしたことである。 扉 8には開閉の便のためハンドル 8 aを取り付ける。 安全スィツチ 2 1 はカップ室 7内において、扉 8が閉じるとオンになるようになつている。 扉 8には軽い電磁シールドを施すこともできる。 というのは第 1 と第 2の電磁シールドによって一応問題ない程度に電磁波の漏洩を防止して いるが、 細かい複数の孔 1 9 f の部分等、 または第 1 と第 2の電磁シー ルドの継ぎ目から僅かな電磁波が漏れる可能性に対応するもので、 その 観点からは筐体 2にも軽度の電磁シールドを施すこともできる。  The difference between the beverage extraction device 1 and the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is that a large opening 5 a in the front (the right side in FIGS. 9 and 10) for receiving the upper cup 19 in the extraction chamber 5 is provided. A door 8 is provided to cover both the front of the opening 7a of the cup chamber 7 and can be opened and closed by a hinge provided on one side in the vertical direction. That is what we did. Handle 8a is attached to door 8 for opening and closing. The safety switch 21 is turned on in the cup chamber 7 when the door 8 is closed. Door 8 may be provided with a light electromagnetic shield. This is because the first and second electromagnetic shields prevent the leakage of electromagnetic waves to a degree that does not cause any problem, but the fine holes 19 f, etc., or the joint between the first and second electromagnetic shields From the viewpoint, it is possible to apply a slight electromagnetic shield to the housing 2 from that point of view.
機能性フィルタに関しては実施の形態 1ないし 3のものと全く同様で ある。  The functional filters are exactly the same as those in the first to third embodiments.
このように構成され、 つぎにその動作を説明する。 まず上カップ 1 9 のフィルタ載置部 1 9 dに機能性フィルタ 3 5のつば部 3 3を載置し、 機能性フィルタ 3 5に抽出材 3 7 (この場合コーヒー粉) と抽出液 3 9 (この場合、 水) をそれぞれ所定量入れる。 扉 8を開いてハンドル 1 9 bを持って筐体 2の開口 5 aから上カップ 1 9を抽出室 5内につば部 1 9 cがレール 5 cの溝 5 bに差し込まれるようにして奥まで押し込む。 力ップ室 7の台座 2 5の上にカップ 2 3を置き、 扉 8を閉じると安全ス イッチ 2 1のァクチユエータが押されて飲料抽出装置 1に通電が可能に なる。 電源スィッチボタン 2 9を押し、 ついでスタートボタン 3 1を押 すと制御回路基板 1 3によりマグネト ロン 9の発振が開始し、 放射空間 1 1から電磁放射窓 1 7を通って上カップ 1 9内に電磁波が放射され、 抽出液 3 9は加熱される。 スタートボタンを省略して安全スィツチ 2 1 のオンによりマグネトロン 9の発振を開始するようにしてもよい。 The operation is described below. First, the brim section 3 3 of the functional filter 35 is placed on the filter mounting section 19 d of the upper cup 19, and the extract material 3 7 (in this case, coffee powder) and the extract 3 9 are placed on the functional filter 35. (In this case, water). Open the door 8, hold the handle 19b, and hold the upper cup 19 through the opening 5a of the housing 2 into the extraction chamber 5 so that the collar 19c is inserted into the groove 5b of the rail 5c. Press it in until When the cup 23 is placed on the pedestal 25 of the power chamber 7 and the door 8 is closed, the actuator of the safety switch 21 is pushed, and the beverage brewing device 1 can be energized. Press the power switch button 2 9 and then the start button 3 1 Then, the oscillation of the magnetron 9 is started by the control circuit board 13, an electromagnetic wave is emitted from the radiation space 11 through the electromagnetic radiation window 17 into the upper cup 19, and the extract 39 is heated. The start button may be omitted, and the oscillation of the magnetron 9 may be started when the safety switch 21 is turned on.
しかし何れの場合も台座 2 5上にカップ 2 3を載せ忘れてスタートす ると、 カップ室 7内に抽出液が散乱するので、 これを防ぐために荷重セ ンサ 2 7が力ップの載置を確認した後にマグネトロン 9が発振を開始す るように回路構成をするのが望ましい。  However, in any case, if the operator forgets to place the cup 23 on the pedestal 25 and starts, the extraction liquid will be scattered in the cup chamber 7. It is desirable to configure the circuit so that the magnetron 9 starts oscillating after confirming.
以下の動作は実施の形態 1の場合と同様であり、 抽出が完了すれば扉 8を開けて抽出液 3 9の滴下した力ップ 2 3を取り出せばよい。  The following operation is the same as that of the first embodiment. When the extraction is completed, the door 8 is opened and the force 23 onto which the extraction liquid 39 has been dropped may be taken out.
本実施形態において、 抽出液の滴下が完了していないうちに扉 8を開 けて滴下する熱い抽出液に対する安全対策を講じることもできる。 上記 のように安全スィツチ 2 1によって、 扉 8の開放によりマグネ トロン 9 の動作を停止するような安全手段を講じているが、 本実施形態ではさら に扉を開放してカップ 2 3を取り出してしまうと、 抽出中の熱い抽出液 が力ップ室 7内に落ちてきて火傷を負う等危険な場合もある。 そのため に扉 8に図示しない電磁プランジャを用いた口ック装置をさらに追加し て、 加重センサ 2 7を介した抽出の終了を検出しない間は、 このロック を解放しないようにすることもできる。 または加重センサ 2 7を介した 抽出の終了を検出しない間は、 扉 5を開かないように警告を表示する、 または抽出の終了を検出してランプまたは音響で開いてもよいとの表示 をしてもよレ、。  In the present embodiment, it is also possible to open the door 8 before the dropping of the extract is completed, and take safety measures against the hot extract dropped. As described above, the safety switch 21 is used to take safety measures such that the operation of the magnetron 9 is stopped by opening the door 8, but in the present embodiment, the door is further opened and the cup 23 is taken out. If so, the hot extract during extraction may fall into the power chamber 7 and cause burns. For this purpose, a staple device using an electromagnetic plunger (not shown) may be further added to the door 8 so that the lock is not released unless the end of the extraction via the weight sensor 27 is detected. Alternatively, a warning is displayed not to open the door 5 while the end of the extraction via the weight sensor 27 is not detected, or a message is displayed indicating that the end of the extraction may be opened by a lamp or sound when the end of the extraction is detected. You can.
またスタートスィッチ 3 1がなくても安全スィツチ 2 1がオンになる とマグネ トロン 9の動作がスタートするように構成してもよい。  Further, the magnetron 9 may be configured to start operating when the safety switch 21 is turned on without the start switch 31.
また抽出が済んでいないのに扉を開けてカップを取り出すと、 抽出中 の熱い抽出液が落下して火傷を負わないように扉をロックしたり、 扉を Wけないような蕃告を発するようにすることもできる。 If you open the door and take out the cup even though the extraction has not been completed, lock the door or prevent the hot extraction liquid during extraction from falling and causing burns. It is also possible to issue a ban that does not go wrong.
以上のようにこの実施形態によれば、 上カップ 1 9に機能性フィルタ 3 5をセッ トしてその中に抽出材 3 7と抽出液 3 9を入れ、 上カップ 1 9を抽出室 5中に装着し、 扉 8を閉じることで安全スィツチが入り電源 の準備ができ、 スタートポタン 3 1を押すことで、 または扉 8を閉じる ことによってマグネトロ ン 9が動作して加熱が始まり、 抽出が終われば 荷重センサ 2 7の変化から検出でき、 マグネトロン 9の動作が停止する ので、 抽出終了とともに加熱が終了し、 加熱しすぎることによる渋みや 苦みを生ずることなく誰でも手軽に均一の味の飲料を抽出できる。  As described above, according to this embodiment, the functional filter 35 is set in the upper cup 19, the extract material 37 and the extract 39 are put therein, and the upper cup 19 is placed in the extraction chamber 5. By closing the door 8, the safety switch is turned on and the power is ready.By pressing the start button 31 or closing the door 8, the magnetron 9 operates to start heating and finish the extraction. If the change can be detected from the load sensor 27 and the operation of the magnetron 9 stops, the heating ends with the end of extraction, and anyone can easily enjoy a beverage with a uniform taste without causing harshness or bitterness due to overheating. Can be extracted.
(実施の形態 5 ) (Embodiment 5)
第 1 1図は本発明の実施の形態 5の飲料抽出装置の側断面図である。 第 1 1図において実施の形態 4の第 9図と異なる点は抽出室 5の前面に は扉は存在せず、 力ップ室 7の前面の開口 7 aの前面のみに扉 1 0が存 在することである。 扉 1 0には開閉の便のためハン ドル 1 0 aが取り付 けられる。 そして安全スィツチ 2 1に代えて、 安全スィツチ 2 2が上力 ップ 1 9が最後まで挿入されたときにオンするような位置に取り付けら れている。 この安全スィ ッチ 2 2は、 スタートスィ ッチ 3 1 が押された ときにマグネトロン 9が発振を開始するのを許容するものであるが、 ス タ一トスイッチ 3 1を省いて、 安全スィツチ 2 2がオンになればマグネ ト ロン 9が発振を開始するように構成してもよい。  FIG. 11 is a side sectional view of a beverage brewing apparatus according to Embodiment 5 of the present invention. The difference between FIG. 11 and FIG. 9 of Embodiment 4 is that there is no door at the front of the extraction chamber 5, and the door 10 exists only at the front of the opening 7a at the front of the extraction chamber 7. Is to be. Handle 10a is attached to door 10 for opening and closing flights. Then, in place of the safety switch 21, the safety switch 22 is mounted at a position where the safety switch 22 is turned on when the upper force 19 is completely inserted. The safety switch 22 allows the magnetron 9 to start oscillating when the start switch 31 is pressed, but the start switch 31 is omitted and the safety switch 22 is omitted. The magnetron 9 may start oscillating when 22 is turned on.
しかし何れの場合も台座 2 5上にカップ 2 3を載せ忘れてスター卜す ると、 カップ室 7内に抽出液が散乱するので、 これを防ぐために荷重セ ンサ 2 7が力ップの載置を確認した後にマグネ トロン 9が発振を開始す るように回路構成をするのが望ましい。  However, in any case, if the user forgets to place the cup 23 on the pedestal 25 and starts the operation, the extraction liquid will be scattered in the cup chamber 7. It is desirable to configure the circuit so that the magnetron 9 starts oscillating after confirming the position.
本実施形態の動作は、 扉 1 0の機能を除いては実施の形態 4と同様で あり、 詳細の説明は省略する。 抽出完了前の扉 1 0の解放に対する安全 対策も実施の形態 4と同様にして実施できる。 The operation of this embodiment is the same as that of the fourth embodiment except for the function of the door 10. Yes, detailed description is omitted. Safety measures for opening the door 10 before the extraction is completed can be implemented in the same manner as in the fourth embodiment.
(実施の形態 6 ) (Embodiment 6)
実施の形態 6は、図示は省略するが、実施の形態 3の第 8図において、 力ッブ室の前のみ、 または抽出室と力ップ室の両方にかかるように扉を 設けたものである。  In the sixth embodiment, although not shown, a door is provided in FIG. 8 of the third embodiment only in front of the blast chamber or in both the extraction chamber and the brew chamber. is there.
扉に関することを除く動作は実施の形態 3のものと同様であり、 実施 の形態 4 , 5と同様に扉を閉じなければマグネ ト口ンの発振が始められ ないと力、、 すべての抽出が完了しなければ扉を開けられないなどの安全 策を講じることができる。  Except for the door, the operation is the same as that of the third embodiment, and as in the fourth and fifth embodiments, if the door does not close and the oscillation of the magnet port does not start, the force You can take safety measures such as not being able to open the door unless it is completed.
このように本実施形態においては複数の力ップに対して同時に抽出滴 下できるとともに、 安全面でも配慮でき、 とくに飲食店等で業として用 いる場合に適している。  As described above, in the present embodiment, it is possible to simultaneously extract and drip a plurality of forceps, and it is also possible to consider safety aspects, and is particularly suitable for use as a business in restaurants and the like.

It is roughly divided into 1. The machine room 75 has a magnetron 83 as an electromagnetic wave generator and a non-conductive material such as plastic, and an electromagnetic radiation window 85 that emits electromagnetic waves generated from the magnetron 83. The first control circuit board, etc. The shield 87 prevents electromagnetic wave components from leaking to the outside. The electromagnetic shield 87 is provided so as to surround the outer periphery of the magnetron 83, the extraction chamber 77, and at least the extraction chamber part 89 of the door 81. The electromagnetic shield at the door 8 1 is electrically connected to the electromagnetic shield at the extraction chamber 5 by a hinge 9 1.
扉 8 1は少なく とも前面はガラス張り等にして内部の様子がわかるよ うにするのが好ましく、 この透明部分は細かいパンチングメタル等によ り電磁シールド効果を持たせていて、 蝶番 9 1によって矢印 A— B方向 に回動して開閉でき、 閉じたときには図示しないロック機構によって口 It is preferable that at least the front of the door 8 1 is glass-coated so that the interior can be seen.The transparent part has an electromagnetic shielding effect by fine punching metal, etc. — Open and close by pivoting in direction B. When closed, lock mechanism (not shown)
10 ックすることができる。 これらの部分は従来公知の技術であるから特に 詳細は省く。 そう してマグネ トロン 8 3から放射された電磁波は、 電磁 放射窓 8 5から抽出室 7 7へ向けて放射される。 10 Since these parts are conventionally known techniques, detailed descriptions are omitted. Then, the electromagnetic wave radiated from the magnetron 83 is radiated from the electromagnetic radiation window 85 to the extraction chamber 77.
抽出室 7 7には抽出用カップ 9 3が挿入される。抽出用力ップ 9 3は、 たとえばポリプロピレン等の非導電材料で真空成形または射出成形等で An extraction cup 93 is inserted into the extraction chamber 77. The extraction nip 93 is made of a non-conductive material such as polypropylene by vacuum molding or injection molding.
15底のある略円筒形に形成され底面中央に 1または複数の小さな開口 9 5 が設けられ、 抽出した抽出液が滴下するようになっている。 必要によつ て持ち運びのためのハンドル等を設ける。 It is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape with 15 bottoms, and one or more small openings 95 are provided in the center of the bottom so that the extracted liquid can be dripped. Handles for carrying will be provided as necessary.
抽出室 7 7においては正面 (第 1 2図の左方) と上方の一部とは抽出 用カップ 9 3を出し入れする開口となっており、 扉 8 1によって閉ざさ In the extraction chamber 77, the front (left side of Fig. 12) and the upper part have an opening for taking in and out the extraction cup 93, which is closed by the door 81.
20れている。 電磁放射窓 8 5の前方には抽出用力ップ 9 3を保持するガー ド 9 7が、 非導電性の材料、 たとえばプラスチック等で形成され、 そし て抽出室 7 7の底面には開口 9 9が設けられ、 抽出用カップ 9 3の開口 9 5と合致しており、 この開口 9 9の径は余り大きくすると電磁波の漏 れが生ずるので、 好ましくない。 マグネトロン 8 3の発振周波数が 2 .There are 20. In front of the electromagnetic radiation window 85, a guard 97 holding an extraction force 93 is formed of a non-conductive material, such as plastic, and an opening 99 is formed at the bottom of the extraction chamber 77. Is provided, which matches the opening 95 of the extraction cup 93. If the diameter of the opening 99 is too large, leakage of electromagnetic waves occurs, which is not preferable. The oscillation frequency of magnetron 83 is 2.
25 4 5 G H z とすれば波長は約 1 2 O m mとなり、その l Z l 6以下の径、 すなわち 7 . 5 m mまでは可能であるが、安全を見て 6 m m以下とする。 または、 開口径をこれより大とするならば、 電磁シールドと接続し、 こ れょり小さな孔を複数設けたパンチングメタル、 または電磁シールドと 接続した金属網を取り付ければよい。 If it is 25 4 5 GHz, the wavelength will be about 12 O mm, and it is possible to make the diameter less than l Z l 6, that is, up to 7.5 mm. Alternatively, if the opening diameter is to be larger than this, it may be connected to an electromagnetic shield and a punching metal provided with a plurality of small holes, or a metal net connected to the electromagnetic shield may be attached.
ここには図示を省略するが、 抽出用カップ 9 3を装着したことを検出 5する安全スィツチ手段を設ける。 この安全スィツチ手段は抽出用力ップ が装着されたことを検出し、 それによりマグネ トロン 8 3への通電可否 を制御するためのもので、 安全スィツチ手段には導電性部分が含まれる ため、 電磁シールド 8 7の外部に設ける必要があり、 非導電性のレバー などで抽出用カップ 9 3の存在を安全スィツチ手段に機械的に伝達する Although not shown here, a safety switch means for detecting that the extraction cup 93 is attached 5 is provided. This safety switch means detects that the extraction force is attached, and thereby controls whether or not the magnetron 83 is energized.Since the safety switch means includes a conductive part, it is electromagnetic Must be provided outside the shield 87, and the presence of the extraction cup 93 is mechanically transmitted to the safety switch means by a non-conductive lever, etc.
10 ように構成しておく。 10
抽出室 7 7下部の抽出液受け力ップ室 7 9には、 開口 9 9から滴下し た抽出液を受ける抽出液受け力ップ 1 0 1を配置できるように台座 1 0 3があり、 この台座 1 0 3の下には荷重検出器である荷重センサ 1 0 5 を配置し、 この出力は機械室 7 5內の制御回路基板に接続されて台座 1 The extraction liquid receiving chamber 79 at the bottom of the extraction chamber 77 has a pedestal 103 so that the extraction liquid receiving pipe 101 that receives the extracted liquid from the opening 99 can be arranged. A load sensor 105 serving as a load detector is disposed below the pedestal 103. This output is connected to the control circuit board of the machine room 75 內,
15 0 5の上に載置された抽出液受け力ップと抽出液の荷重を検出できるよ うになつている。 It is possible to detect the load of the extract and the load of the extract placed on 1505.
筐体 7 3の適宜の箇所、 この図では上方には電源スィツチボタン 1 0 7およびスタートボタン 1 0 9が配置されている。  A power switch button 107 and a start button 109 are arranged at appropriate places on the housing 73, in the upper part in this figure.
さらに抽出受けカップ室 7 9の周囲と、 扉 8 1の抽出受け力ップ室 7 In addition, around the extraction receiving cup chamber 7 9 and the extraction receiving chamber 7 for the door 8 1
20 9前面の部分とに第 2の電磁シールド 1 1 1を施すこともできる。 これ は第 1 の電磁シールド 8 7による遮蔽にもかかわらず開口 9 9が大きく て、 そこから僅かな電磁波が漏れる場合、 より安全を期すために設ける もので、 そのような目的の場合、 第 1の電磁シールド 8 7ほど厳重な遮 蔽効果がなくても差し支えない。A second electromagnetic shield 1 11 can also be applied to the front of the 209. This is to provide more safety when the opening 99 is large despite the shielding by the first electromagnetic shield 87 and a small amount of electromagnetic wave leaks from it. Electromagnetic shield of 8-7 does not need to be as strict as the shielding effect.
5 抽出用カップ 9 3には、 機能性フィルタ 1 1 3が載置されるようにな つており、 必要に応じて抽出用力ップ 9 3の内面には機能性ブイルタ 1 1 3が密着して抽出力が低下しないように底面から上方に向けて放射状 のリブを設けてもよい。 5 A functional filter 1 13 is placed on the extraction cup 93, and a functional filter 1 Radial ribs may be provided upward from the bottom surface so that the extraction force does not decrease due to the close contact of 13.
機能性フィルタ 1 1 3は抽出用カップ 9 3の形状に合わせてプレス等 で形成するか、 エンボス加工や熱圧着などの方法で形成すればよい。  The functional filter 113 may be formed by a press or the like according to the shape of the extraction cup 93, or may be formed by a method such as embossing or thermocompression bonding.
この機能性フィルタ 1 1 3は、 低温の液体は透過させず、 水の沸騰点 に近い高温の液体を透過させるように働く ものであればよく、 すでに実 施の形態 1で詳細に述べたところである。  The functional filter 1 13 may be any filter that does not transmit low-temperature liquid but transmits high-temperature liquid close to the boiling point of water, and has already been described in detail in the first embodiment. is there.
このよ うに構成され、 つぎにその動作を第 4図を用いて説明する。 ま ず電源スィツチボタン 1 0 7を押し、 抽出用カップ 9 3に機能性フィル タ 1 1 3を載せ、 抽出材 1 1 5 (この場合コーヒー粉) と抽出液 1 1 7 (この場合、 水) をそれぞれ所定量入れ、 抽出用カップ 9 3を抽出室 7 7内に納める。  The operation is described in the following with reference to FIG. First, press the power switch button 107, put the functional filter 113 on the extraction cup 93, extract material 115 (in this case, coffee powder) and extract liquid 117 (in this case, water) And put the extraction cups 93 into the extraction chamber 77.
ここでスタートボタン 1 0 9を押すと安全スィツチが抽出用カップ 9 3を検出し、 さらに荷重センサ 1 0 5が抽出受けカップ 1 0 1の載置を 検出し、 かつ扉の安全スィツチにより扉 8 1が閉じられておれば制御回 路によりマグネ トロン 8 3が発振を開始し、 電磁放射窓 8 5を通って抽 出用カップ 9 3内に電磁波が放射され、 抽出液 1 1 7は加熱される。 こ れは抽出受け力ップ 1 0 1が載置されていないまま始動して、 抽出され た熱い抽出液が抽出用力ップ室 7 9に落下して散乱するのを防ぐためで ある。  Here, when the start button 109 is pressed, the safety switch detects the extraction cup 93, the load sensor 105 detects the placement of the extraction receiving cup 101, and the safety switch of the door turns the door 8 on. If 1 is closed, the magnetron 83 starts oscillating by the control circuit, electromagnetic waves are radiated into the extraction cup 93 through the electromagnetic radiation window 85, and the extract 1 17 is heated. You. This is to prevent the extracted hot extract from falling into the extraction power chamber 79 and being scattered by starting without the extraction receptacle 101 being placed.
電源オンとともに荷重センサ 1 0 5は荷重 Bの検出を開始する。 荷重 Bは抽出受けカップ 1 0 1 と台座 1 0 3の重さ +滴下した抽出液 1 1 7 の重さである。 電源オン当初は力ップ 1 0 1 と台座 1 0 3の重さそのも のを計量する。 台座 1 0 3にカップ 1 0 1が載置されていないと、 滴下 した抽出液を受けることができないので、 スタートボタン 1 0 9が押さ れてもマグネトロン 8 3が発振しないようにすることもでき、 その場合 文字表示などで力ップ忘れを警告するのが親切であろう。 When the power is turned on, the load sensor 105 starts detecting the load B. The load B is the weight of the extraction receiving cup 101 and the pedestal 103 + the weight of the extracted liquid 1 17. When the power is turned on, the weight of the power supply 101 and the pedestal 103 is weighed. If the cup 101 is not placed on the pedestal 103, it will not be able to receive the extracted liquid, so that even if the start button 109 is pressed, the magnetron 83 will not oscillate. , In that case It would be nice to warn you of forgetting to power up by displaying characters.
- 抽出材は抽出液である水が注入されてから抽出が始まるが、 低温の間 は抽出の程度が少ないが、 抽出液 1 1 7が高温になるほど抽出は進行す る。 一方抽出液 1 1 7の温度 Aは加熱により時間とともに上昇するが、 機能性フィルタ 1 1 3からの抽出液 1 1 7の滴下は機能性フィルタ 1 1 3の働きにより、 カーブ Bのようにある時刻 Cから始まり、 徐々に滴下 量が多くなり時刻 Dを過ぎると大部分の抽出材が滴下してしまい荷重セ ンサ 1 0 5にかかる総重量が飽和する。 検出には Bが所定量を超えたこ とを検出してもよいが、 その場合力ップ 1 0 1の重量が一定しているこ とと、 抽出液 1 1 7の量が一定である必要があり、 実施の形態 1で説明 したようにカーブ Bの飽和を検出すればこの問題を回避できる。 -Extraction of the extraction material begins after water as the extraction liquid is injected, but the degree of extraction is low during low temperatures, but the extraction proceeds as the extraction liquid 117 becomes hot. On the other hand, although the temperature A of the extract 1 17 rises with time due to heating, the drop of the extract 1 17 from the functional filter 113 is due to the function of the functional filter 113 as shown by the curve B. Beginning at time C, the amount of dripping gradually increases, and after time D, most of the extractant drops and the total weight applied to the load sensor 105 saturates. For the detection, it may be detected that B exceeds a predetermined amount, but in that case, the weight of the hopper 101 must be constant and the amount of the extract 117 must be constant. This problem can be avoided by detecting the saturation of the curve B as described in the first embodiment.
つぎに、 抽出液の滴下が完了していないうちに扉 8 1を開けることに 対する安全対策を講じる必要がある。 一般に電子レンジの場合は、 扉の 開放によりマグネ トロンの動作を停止するような安全手段を講じている が、 本実施形態ではさらに扉を開放して抽出受けカップ 1 0 1を取り出 してしまうと、 抽出中の熱い抽出液が抽出受け力ップ室 7 9内に落ちて きて危険な場合もある。 そのために扉 8 1に口ック装置をさらに追加し て、 加重センサ 1 0 5が抽出の終了を検出しない間は、 このロックを解 放しないようにすることもできる。  Next, it is necessary to take safety measures against opening the door 81 before the dripping of the extract is completed. Generally, in the case of a microwave oven, safety measures are taken to stop the operation of the magnetron by opening the door, but in the present embodiment, the door is further opened to take out the extraction receiving cup 101. In some cases, the hot extraction liquid during extraction may fall into the extraction receiving chamber 79 and be dangerous. For this purpose, a lock device may be further added to the door 81 so that the lock is not released while the weight sensor 105 does not detect the end of the extraction.
またはロックを設けないまでも光、 音響などで抽出完了を報知すると 、 抽出が済むまでは 「扉を開かないでください。」 等の表示を示す等 の配慮は必要であろう。  Or, if the completion of extraction is notified by light, sound, etc., even if a lock is not provided, considerations such as displaying a message such as "Please do not open the door."
以上のようにこの実施形態によれば、 抽出用カップ 9 3に機能性フィ ルタ 1 1 3をセッ トしてその中に抽出材 1 1 5と抽出液 1 1 7を入れ、 抽出用カップ 9 3を筐体 7 3の抽出室 7 7に装着すれば電源の準備がで き、 スタートボタン 1 0 9を押すことでマグネ トロン 8 3が動作して加 熱が始まり、 抽出が終われば荷重センサ 1 0 5の変化から検出でき、 マ グネトロン 8 3の動作が停止するので、抽出終了とともに加熱が終了し、 加熱しすぎることによる渋みや苦みを生ずることなく誰でも手軽に均一 の味の飲料を抽出できる。 As described above, according to this embodiment, the functional filter 113 is set in the extraction cup 93, and the extraction material 115 and the extraction liquid 117 are put in the functional filter 113. The power supply can be prepared by attaching 3 to the extraction chamber 7 7 of the housing 7 3, and by pressing the start button 109, the magnetron 83 operates to add heat. The heat starts, and when the extraction is completed, it can be detected from the change in the load sensor 105, and the operation of the magnetron 83 stops, so that the heating ends with the end of the extraction, without causing harshness or bitterness due to overheating. Anyone can easily extract a beverage with a uniform taste.
また、 第 1の電磁シールド 8 7により加熱される範囲が狭く限定され るので、 マグネトロン 8 3は比較的小さなものでよく、 電力も節約でき るものである。  In addition, since the range heated by the first electromagnetic shield 87 is narrow and limited, the magnetron 83 may be relatively small and power can be saved.
また、 抽出液 1 1 7を受ける抽出液受けカップや荷重センサ等が第 1 の電磁シールドの外にあるので、 金属製のカップや、 電磁調理器に入れ られないカップ等も使用でき、 金属部品を含む荷重センサをシールドす る手間を要しない。  In addition, since the extraction liquid receiving cup and load sensor that receive the extraction liquid 1 17 are outside the first electromagnetic shield, metal cups and cups that cannot be placed in the electromagnetic cooker can be used. No need to shield load sensors including
また抽出液受け力ップが第 1の電磁シールドの外にあるため、 抽出し 終わった抽出液がさらに加熱されることがなく、 すぐに飲用できる適度 な温度保つことができる。  In addition, since the extraction liquid receiving portion is outside the first electromagnetic shield, the extracted liquid after the extraction is not further heated, and can be maintained at an appropriate temperature at which it can be immediately drunk.
さらに、 第 1のシールド 8 7だけでは完全に電磁波の漏洩を防止でき ないときには、 第 2の電磁シールドを付加することができ、 人体への安 全度を高めることができる。  Further, when the first shield 87 alone cannot completely prevent the leakage of electromagnetic waves, the second electromagnetic shield can be added, and the safety to the human body can be increased.
なお、 ここではコーヒーの抽出の例を挙げたが、 コーヒーに限らず、 緑茶、 紅茶、 ハーブティ、 薬草等何にでも適用することができる。  Here, an example of coffee extraction is given, but the invention is not limited to coffee but can be applied to green tea, black tea, herbal tea, herbs, and anything else.
(実施の形態 8 ) (Embodiment 8)
第 1 4図は本発明の実施の形態 8における飲料抽出器の正面図、 第 1 5図は同じくその斜視図である。上述の実施の形態 7における第 1 2図, 第 1 3図との差異は、 扉 8 1 aの、 抽出用力ップ室 7 9の前面の部分が 閉じてなく、 のぞき窓 8 1 b、 8 1 cを設けてあることである。 機能的 には、 この部分を解放にすると、 抽出が終わらないうちに抽出受けカツ プ 1 0 1が取り出され、 滴下した抽出液が溢れたり、 手に掛かって火傷 することを防ぐためのものである。 FIG. 14 is a front view of a beverage extractor according to Embodiment 8 of the present invention, and FIG. 15 is a perspective view thereof. The difference from FIGS. 12 and 13 in Embodiment 7 described above is that the front part of the extraction chamber 79 of the door 81 a is not closed, and the view windows 8 1 b and 8 1 c is provided. Functionally, if this part is released, the extraction cuts can be made before the extraction is finished. This is to prevent the extract 101 from being taken out and overflowing the dropped extract, or to prevent the extract from catching hands and causing burns.
このような構成においては実施の形態 7のように第 2の電磁シールド を設けることは意味がないので、 第 1の電磁シールドからの電磁波漏れ が完全に防止できる場合に実施することができる。 その他の構成や動作 は実施の形態 7の場合と同様であり、 説明の重複を省く。  In such a configuration, since it is meaningless to provide the second electromagnetic shield as in the seventh embodiment, it can be implemented when electromagnetic wave leakage from the first electromagnetic shield can be completely prevented. Other configurations and operations are the same as those in the seventh embodiment, and redundant description will be omitted.
(実施の形態 9 ) (Embodiment 9)
第 1 6図は本発明の実施の形態 9における飲料抽出器の図面で ( a ) は側断面図、 (b ) は正面図、 第 1 7図は同じくその動作を説明するフ ローチャートである。 実施の形態 7 , 8との差異は筐体 7 3 a内の抽出 室 7 7 a と抽出液受け力ップ室 7 9 a内にそれぞれ 3組の抽出用力ップ 9 3 a , 9 3 b , 9 3 c と抽出液受けカップ 1 0 1 a , 1 0 1 b , 1 0 1 cを配置したことである。 もちろんこれに対応して 3組の台座 1 0 3 a , 1 0 3 b , 1 0 3 cおよび加重センサ 1 0 5 a , 1 0 5 b , 1 0 5 cも必要である。 図示しないが抽出力ップに対応する安全スィツチも 3 組必要となる。 その他の点は実施の形態 7、 8と同様であり、 詳細な説 明を省く。  FIG. 16 is a drawing of a beverage extractor according to the ninth embodiment of the present invention, in which (a) is a side sectional view, (b) is a front view, and FIG. 17 is a flow chart for explaining the operation thereof. . The difference from Embodiments 7 and 8 is that three sets of extraction taps 9 3 a and 9 3 b are provided in the extraction chamber 7 7 a and the extract receiving chamber 7 9 a in the housing 73 a respectively. , 93 c and the extract receiving cups 101 a, 101 b, and 101 c. Of course, three sets of pedestals 103a, 103b, 103c and weight sensors 105a, 105b, 105c are also required corresponding to this. Although not shown, three sets of safety switches corresponding to the extraction force are also required. Other points are the same as those of the seventh and eighth embodiments, and detailed explanations are omitted.
このように構成され、 つぎに実施の形態 7と異なる動作のみ第 1 7図 を用いて説明する。 ステップ S 1で電源スィッチ 1 0 7を入れる。 ステ ップ S 2で抽出用カップ 9 3 a, 9 3 b , 9 3 cのすベて、 または少な く とも 1つが装着されたことを装着された抽出用カップに対応する安全 スィッチで検出する。 ステップ S 3で少なく とも装着した抽出用カップ に対応するすべての抽出受け力ップが台座に載置されているかを確認し て、 スタートスィッチをオンにできるようになる。 ステップ S 4でスタ —トスイッチ 1 0 9をオンにすると、 ステップ S 5でドア 8 1 aが閉じ ているかどうかを確認し、 閉じていればステップ S 6でマグネト口ンの 発振がスタートする。 載置されていない場合は何らかの方法で告知する のが親切である。 これは抽出受け用カップがないまま抽出して、 抽出受 け力ップ室 7 9 a内に抽出液が散乱するのを防ぐためである。 Next, only operations different from those of the seventh embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Turn on the power switch 107 in step S1. In step S2, all of the extraction cups 93a, 93b, 93c, or at least one of them is detected by the safety switch corresponding to the attached extraction cup. . In step S3, the start switch can be turned on after confirming that all of the extraction receiving cups corresponding to at least the extracted cups are mounted on the pedestal. When the start switch 109 is turned on in step S4, the door 81a is closed in step S5. Check if it is closed, and if it is closed, the oscillation of the magneto port starts in step S6. If it is not listed, it is kind to notify in some way. This is to prevent the extraction liquid from being scattered in the extraction reception chamber 79a without the extraction receiving cup.
そしてステップ S 7で荷重センサ 1 0 5 a〜 1 0 5 cにより、 抽出が 行われているすべての抽出受けカップ 1 0 1 a〜 l 0 1 cの抽出が終わ つたかどうかをチェックし、 終わればステップ S 8でマグネトロン 8 3 の動作を停止させ、 実施の形態 7と同様な方法で抽出受け力ップが取り 出せるようになる。 ステップ S 9で電源スィツチ 1 0 7をオフにして、 全動作を終了する。 この第 1 7図のフローチャートは実施の形態 3 , 6 にも適用することができる。  Then, in step S7, it is checked by the load sensors 105a to 105c whether all the extraction receiving cups 101a to 101c that have been extracted have been extracted. For example, in step S8, the operation of the magnetron 83 is stopped, and the extraction receiving force can be extracted in the same manner as in the seventh embodiment. In step S9, the power switch 107 is turned off, and all operations are completed. The flowchart of FIG. 17 can be applied to the third and sixth embodiments.
このように本実施形態によれば、 複数の抽出力ップを収容し同時に複 数の抽出ができ、 その際抽出力ップの下に抽出受け力ップがなければ始 動できず、 またすベての抽出受け用カップに抽出液の滴下が終了しなけ れば取り出せないか、 または取り出さないように饕告することによって 誤った操作で装置を汚したり、 火傷を負ったりする不都合や危険を防止 できるものである。  As described above, according to the present embodiment, a plurality of extraction taps can be accommodated and a plurality of extractions can be simultaneously performed. At that time, if there is no extraction reception tap below the extraction tap, the operation cannot be started. If all of the extraction cups are not drip-extracted, the extraction liquid cannot be removed, or it may cause inconvenience or danger of inadvertently dirtying the device or causing burns by informing the user not to remove it. Can be prevented.
なお、 ここでは 3組の抽出ができるように説明したが、 2組でも 4組 でもよいのはいうまでもない。  Although the description has been made so that three sets can be extracted here, it goes without saying that two sets or four sets may be used.

図において図示しない筐体内に、 各構成物をマウントするベンチステ ージ 2 0 1が配置され、 ベンチステージ 2 0 1の、 少なく とも中ほどの ハツチングで示した 2 0 1 aの部分は電磁シールドが施されている。 こ の電磁シールド 3 0 1 aは、 このハッチング部分を金属で形成してもよ く、 また金属以外の材質に金属ネッ ト等を貼り付ける、 または金属めつ き、 金属粉の塗装などで電磁シールド機能を持たせてもよく、 またハツ チング部分以外のベンチステージ 1全体が金属または電磁シ一ルド機能 を持つ材質で形成されていても差し支えない。 電磁シールド 2 0 1 a の 内方にはできるだけ金属材料を用いないようにして、加熱効率を高める。 抽出濾過用のフィルタを口ール状に卷き回した口一ルフィルタ 2 0 3 が軸 2 0 3 aによってベンチステージ 2 0 1の側方に保持され、 ベンチ ステージ 2 0 1 の一側面に設けたスリ ッ ト 2 0 1 bから内部に導かれ、 再び対向側の側面に設けられたスリ ッ ト 2 0 1 cから引き出されてごみ 箱 2 0 5中に垂らされる。 ロールフィルタ 2 0 3は、 この経路中に設け られた、 ロールフィルタ 2 0 3をプレスするための下型 2 0 7の上を通 過する。 そして下型 2 0 7の両サイ ドには、 必要な際にロールフィルタ 2 0 3を押えつけるためのフィルタ押さえ 2 0 9が上流側と下流側に、 それぞれロールフィルタ 2 0 3の両側に計 4個設けられている。 A bench stand for mounting each component in a housing (not shown) At the middle of the bench stage 201, at least the part of 201a indicated by the hatching is electromagnetically shielded. For this electromagnetic shield 301a, the hatched portion may be formed of metal, or a metal net or the like may be attached to a material other than metal, or a metal mesh, metal powder may be applied, or the like. A shield function may be provided, and the entire bench stage 1 other than the hatched portion may be formed of metal or a material having an electromagnetic shield function. Heating efficiency is increased by using as little metallic material as possible inside the electromagnetic shield 201a. A mouth filter 2003 in which a filter for extraction filtration is wound in a spiral shape is held on the side of the bench stage 201 by a shaft 203a, and is provided on one side surface of the bench stage 201. It is guided into the inside from the slit 201b, and is drawn out again from the slit 201c provided on the side surface on the opposite side, and is dropped into the trash can 205. The roll filter 203 passes over the lower die 207 for pressing the roll filter 203 provided in this path. On both sides of the lower mold 207, filter holders 209 for pressing the roll filter 203 when necessary are installed on the upstream and downstream sides, respectively, on both sides of the roll filter 203. There are four.
フィルタ移動手段を構成する引っ張り ローラ上 2 1 1 と、 引っ張り口 ーラ下 2 1 3とは、 たとえば引っ張りローラ下 2 1 3がばねで上方に付 勢されていて、 互いに圧接されてロールフィルタ 2 0 3を引き出すため に設けている。 ばねの付勢によってコーヒー豆の残滓で厚くなっても口 一ルフィルタ 2 0 3を引っ張ることができる。 口ーノレフィルタ 2 0 3カ 引き出されるとき、 下型 2 0 7に設けたスリ ツ トからわずかに頭を出し た捕助ローラ 2 1 5は、 ロールフィルタ 2 0 3の移動を円滑にさせる。 ホッパ一 2 1 7とプレス型 2 1 9とは一体に形成されている。 プレス 型 2 1 9は下型 2 0 7とともにプレス手段を構成する。 ホッパー 2 1 7 の上部開口 2 1 7 aからは水タンク 2 2 1の水を弁 2 2 1 aを介して供 給する。 この部分を水供給手段とする。 また原料容器 2 2 3からシャツ ター駆動源 2 2 5により開かれたシャッタ一 2 2 3 aを介して原料 (こ の例ではコーヒー豆粉) を供給し、 いずれも下部開口 2 1 9 aから落下 5 させる。 この部分を総称して原料供給手段とする。 水タンク 2 2 1を設 ける代わりに、 弁 2 2 1 aが水道管に直結するようにしてもよい。 The upper pull roller 2 11 and the lower pull roller 2 13 constituting the filter moving means are, for example, the lower pull roller 2 13 is urged upward by a spring, and are pressed against each other so that the roll filter 2 is pressed. It is provided to draw 03. Even when the thickness of the coffee beans becomes thick due to the bias of the spring, the mouth filter 203 can be pulled. When the mouth filter 205 is pulled out, the catching roller 215 slightly protruding from the slit provided in the lower die 207 smoothes the movement of the roll filter 203. The hopper 2 17 and the press mold 2 19 are formed integrally. The press mold 219 forms a press means together with the lower mold 207. Hopper 2 1 7 The water in the water tank 22 1 is supplied from the upper opening 2 17 a through the valve 2 21 a. This portion is referred to as water supply means. In addition, the raw material (in this example, coffee bean flour) is supplied from the raw material container 2 23 through the shutter 2 23 a opened by the shirt driving source 2 25, and in all cases, the raw material is supplied from the lower opening 2 19 a. Drop 5. This part is collectively referred to as raw material supply means. Instead of providing the water tank 221, the valve 221 a may be directly connected to the water pipe.
電磁シールド 2 0 1 aの下部には抽出液落下口 2 0 1 dが設けられ、 その下部にはカップ 2 2 7を載置するための力ップ受け 2 2 9が設けら れている。 このカップ受け 2 2 9は通常カップを用いる自動販売機に使 10用されているもので、 カップ受け 2 2 9に順次新たな力ップを供給する 供給装置が付随するものと し、 ここでは詳細な説明を省略する。  An extraction liquid drop port 201 d is provided below the electromagnetic shield 201 a, and a force receiver 229 for mounting the cup 227 is provided below the extraction liquid drop port 201 d. The cup receiver 229 is normally used for vending machines using cups, and it is assumed that a supply device for sequentially supplying a new force to the cup receiver 229 is attached. Detailed description is omitted.
なお、 ロールフィルタ 2 0 3をプレス加工して凹部を形成したドリ ッ パ 2 0 3 b下部の抽出液落下口 2 0 1 dやプレス型 2 1 9の下部開口 2 1 9 aは 2 5 0 0 M H zちかくの発振の場合 7ミ リ程度の孔であれば電 15磁波は漏れない。 この開口を 1 0ないし 1 5 ミ リ程度とした場合、 ベン チステージ 2 0 1の紙コップのある部分を電磁波シールド対策すると 力 発振中は絶対に力ップ受け部を開けられないようにすれば少々大き な孔でも問題ない。  The dropper 200 d of the dropper 203 b formed by pressing the roll filter 203 to form a recess and the lower opening 2 19 a of the press mold 219 are located at 250 In the case of oscillation near 0 MHz, electromagnetic waves do not leak if the hole is about 7 mm. If this opening is about 10 to 15 millimeters and electromagnetic shielding is applied to the part of the bench stage 201 where the paper cup is located, if the power cup receiving part is never opened during power oscillation, There is no problem with a slightly larger hole.
第 1 9図は第 1 8図の右側方から見た図であり、 第 1 9図において電 20磁シールド 2 0 1 aの一部に設けた開口 2 0 1 eに金属製の導波室 2 3 1を介してマグネトロン 2 3 3からの出力が導かれている。 この部分が 高周波加熱手段に相当する。  FIG. 19 is a view seen from the right side of FIG. 18. In FIG. 19, an opening 201 provided in a part of the electromagnetic shield 201 a is provided with a metal waveguide chamber. The output from magnetron 2 33 is led through 2 3 1. This part corresponds to high-frequency heating means.
以上のように構成され、 次にその動作を説明する。 ロールフィルタ 2 0 3を引き出し、 先端を引っ張り ローラ上 2 1 1 と引っ張り ローラ下 2 25 1 3の間に装着する。 第 2 0図のようにプレス型 2 1 9を下降させ、 下 型 2 0 7との間にロールフィルタ 2 0 3をはさんでプレスしてカップ状 の ドリ ッノ、° 2 0 3 b を形成する。 この口ールフィルタ 2 0 3は、 パルプ 繊維やプラスチックを材料と した不織布などが用いられる。 このときフ ィルタ押さえ 2 0 9のうち上流側または下流側のいずれかまたは両方を 緩めることにより、 プレスによって引っ張られた口ールフィルタ 2 0 3 を逃がすようにする。 引っ張り ローラ上 2 1 1、 同下 2 1 3があるので 口一ルフィルタ 2 0 3が戻ってくることはない。 The configuration is as described above. Next, the operation will be described. Pull out the roll filter 203, pull the end, and install it between the upper roller 2 11 1 and the lower roller 2 25 1 3. As shown in Fig. 20, lower the press mold 2 19, press the roll filter 203 between the lower mold 2 and press it, and press To form a drino, ° 203b. For the mouth filter 203, a non-woven fabric made of pulp fiber or plastic is used. At this time, one or both of the upstream side and the downstream side of the filter presser 209 are loosened so that the outlet filter 203 pulled by the press is released. Since there is a pulling roller upper 211 and a lower roller 213, the mouth filter 203 does not return.
ついでフィルタ押さえ 2 0 9が下降し、 プレス型 2 1 9は上昇し、 ブ レス型 2 1 9が上昇するときに成形されたフィルタ紙が付いていかない 様にフィルタ押さえ 2 0 9はロールフィルタを押さえつける。 カップ受 け 2 2 9にカップ 2 2 7が供給され、 シャッター駆動源 2 2 5によりシ ャッター 2 2 3 aを開いて第 2 1図のように原料容器 2 2 3のコーヒー 豆粉 2 2 3 bを規定量、 プレスされた口一ルフィルタ 2 0 3のドリ ッパ 2 0 3 bの凹部に落下させ、 ついで弁 2 2 l aを開いて水タンク 2 2 1 内の水 2 2 1 bを同じく規定量注水して、 抽出の準備を整える。  Then, the filter holder 209 descends, the press die 219 rises, and the filter holder 209 removes the roll filter so that the formed filter paper does not stick when the breath die 219 rises. Hold down. The cup 2 227 is supplied to the cup receiver 229, the shutter 223 a is opened by the shutter drive source 225, and the coffee bean powder 2 223 in the raw material container 223 as shown in Fig. 21 is opened. b is dropped to the recess of the dripper 203 b of the pressed outlet filter 203 with the specified amount, and then the valve 22 la is opened to release the water 22 1 b in the water tank 22 1 Inject a specified amount of water to prepare for extraction.
ついで図示しない制御装置によりマグネトロン 2 3 3は極超短波周波 数で発振し、 高周波が導波室 2 3 1を介して電磁シールド 2 0 1 a内に 供給されて、 口ールフィルタ 2 0 3のドリ ッパ 2 0 3 bに溜まった水を 加熱する。 コーヒー豆粉 2 2 3 bからの抽出は水 2 2 1 bが落下してか ら僅かずつ開始され、 水の加熱と共に抽出も早まる。  Next, the magnetron 233 oscillates at a very high frequency by a control device (not shown), and the high frequency is supplied into the electromagnetic shield 201 a via the waveguide chamber 231, and the magnet filter 231 is driven by the dripping filter 209. Heat the water that has accumulated in par 203b. Extraction from coffee bean meal 2 2 3b starts little by little after the water 2 2 1b falls, and the extraction speeds up as the water is heated.
一般的にコーヒーなどをおいしく入れるには 「三温抽出法」 が唱えら れている。 すなわち三温とは低温、 中温、 高温のことで、 たとえば玉露 などは低温で長い時間抽出するのが望ましいが、 時間がかかりすぎるの で少し熱いお湯を使うのが一般的である。 コーヒーでは、 いわゆる水出 しコーヒーがあるように水の状態から熱くなるまでそれぞれの温度で異 なった味を抽出でき、 本実施形態の抽出装置では水の状態から始まって (低温)、 中温を通って、 沸騰した熱湯 (高温) まで抽出できるので、 この目的にはまさにぴったり適合するもので、 ばらつきなく、 簡単にプ 口並みのコーヒ一が入れられるものである。 Generally, the "three-temperature extraction method" is advocated for making coffee and other delicious food. In other words, the three temperatures are low, medium and high temperatures. For example, gyokuro etc. should be extracted at a low temperature for a long time, but it is generally too long to use slightly hot water. With coffee, different flavors can be extracted at each temperature from the state of water until it becomes hot as in the case of so-called cold coffee. With the extraction device of this embodiment, starting from the state of water (low temperature), the medium temperature is reduced. So it can be extracted up to the boiling water (high temperature) It is exactly the right fit for this purpose, with a consistent, easy-to-use coffee.
抽出の終了はタイマ一によって規定してもよく、 または重量センサに よってカップ 2 2 7に規定量の抽出液が蓄えられたことを検出してもよ く、 また光センサによって抽出液が途絶えたことを検出してもよく、 こ れによってマグネ トロン 2 3 3の発振を停止させる。 これを L E Dや音 響や合成音声で利用者に知らせ、 カップ 2 2 7の取り出しを促す。 図示 していないが、 カツプの取り出し口の扉は加熱中は開けられないように 安全装置を付けるカ もし開けようとしたときにはマグネトロン 2 3 3 の発振を停止するような安全装置を設けるのが好ましい。  The end of the extraction may be specified by a timer, or the weight sensor may detect that the specified amount of the extract has been stored in the cup 227, and the optical sensor may stop the extract. May be detected, whereby the oscillation of the magnetron 233 is stopped. This is notified to the user by LED, sound, or synthesized speech, and the user is prompted to remove the cup 227. Although not shown, a safety device should be provided so that the door of the cup outlet cannot be opened during heating. .
抽出が終わるとフィルタ押さえ 2 0 9が上昇し引っ張りローラ上 1 1 1、 同下 2 1 3が回転してプレス型 2 1 9の真下にはロ ーノレフィルタ 2 0 3の平らな新しい部分が配置され、 また使用済みのドリ ツバ及び中に たまった使用済みのコーヒ豆の残滓はフィルタと共に補助ローラ 2 1 5 によって出来るだけ平らにされ、 引っ張り ローラ上 2 1 1、 同下 2 1 3 によってゴミ箱 2 0 5の方向に移動する。 スリ ッ ト 2 0 1 cは、 少なく とも、 このときだけ広くなるように考慮する。  When extraction is completed, the filter presser 209 rises, and the upper and lower pulling rollers rotate, and a flat new part of the Lorenole filter 203 is placed immediately below the press mold 209. In addition, the used drippings and the residual coffee beans that have accumulated inside are flattened as much as possible by the auxiliary roller 215 together with the filter, and the trash can 20 is set by the pulling roller 2 11 and the lower roller 2 13. Move in the direction of 5. The slit 201c is considered to be wide at least at this time.
以上のように本実施形態によれば、水はあらかじめ加熱することなく、 フィルタを形成したドリ ッパ内にコーヒー豆粉を入れた後に常温の水を 注入しその後に高周波加熱をするので、 待機電力も必要なく、 また温度 も低いのでかびや細菌も繁殖しにくいという好適な環境が得られる。 またドリ ッパは使い捨てのフィルタに形成されるので、 事後の洗浄等 の必要がなく水の無駄がなく衛生的であるという効果がある。 (実施の形態 1 1 )  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the water is not heated in advance, and the room temperature water is injected after the coffee bean powder is put into the dripper on which the filter is formed, and then high-frequency heating is performed. Since no electricity is required and the temperature is low, a favorable environment is obtained in which mold and bacteria are unlikely to grow. In addition, since the dripper is formed in a disposable filter, there is no need for subsequent cleaning or the like, and there is an effect that there is no waste of water and sanitary.

第 2 2図は本実施形態におけるロールフィルタを示す図で、 第 2 2図 ( a ) は側面図、 第 2 2図 (b ) は平面図、 第 2 2図 ( c )、 ( d ) は 使用状態の側断面図で、 第 2 2図 ( a ) のそれぞれ A— A断面、 B— B 断面を示す。 ロールフィルタ 2 3 5は 2枚のフィルタ素材を合わせて第 2 2図( a ) のようにその下半分を切り欠いて切り欠き 2 3 5 aを作り、 下端と、 この切り欠き部分を溶着、 プレスまたは接着によって一体化し てドリ ッパ 2 3 5 bを作り出している。 切り欠き 2 3 5 aを設ける理由 は、 もしこの部分が続いていると抽出中の部分に満たされた水が毛細管 現象によって未使用のフィルタ部分に滲んでしまうので、 それを防ぐた めである。 FIG. 22 is a diagram showing a roll filter according to the present embodiment. (a) is a side view, Fig. 22 (b) is a plan view, Figs. 22 (c) and (d) are side sectional views in a used state, and A-A in Fig. 22 (a) respectively. Cross section, BB shows B cross section. As shown in Fig. 22 (a), the roll filter 2 35 5 cuts the lower half of the roll material together to form a cut 23.5a, and welds the lower end and this cut-out part. The drippers 235b are integrated by pressing or bonding. The reason why the notch 235a is provided is to prevent the water filled in the part being extracted from oozing into the unused filter part due to the capillary phenomenon if this part is continued.
飲料抽出自動販売機に装着した後、 楔形のガイ ド 2 3 7によって切り 欠きのない上方を押し開いて、 そこから 1個分のドリ ッパ 2 3 5 bにホ ッパーからコーヒー豆粉と水を注入する。 第 1 8図の実施の形態 1 0の 飲料抽出自動販売機に、このロールフィルタ 2 3 5を装着するためには、 装置の多少の修正が必要である。 まずこのロールフィルタ 2 3 5の軸は 縦にしなければならない。 またロールフィルタ 2 3 5を通すスリ ッ ト 2 0 1 b、 2 0 1 c も縦にしなければならない。 そして上流側に楔形のガ イ ド 2 3 7を付加する。 その代わり下型 2 0 7は不要であり、 単なる乗 せ台でよい。 またプレス型 2 1 9も不要で、 プレスする必要がないから 機構も簡略化できる。 第 1 8図の飲料抽出自動販売機にこのような変更 を加えれば、 あとは同じように動作させることができる。  After being installed in the beverage extraction vending machine, push the wedge-shaped guide 2337 open the notched upper part, and from there, hopper 235b for one piece of coffee beans powder and water from the hopper Inject. In order to mount this roll filter 235 on the beverage extraction vending machine of the embodiment 10 in FIG. 18, some modification of the device is required. First, the axis of this roll filter 235 must be vertical. The slits 201b and 201c through which the roll filter 235 passes must also be vertical. Then, a wedge-shaped guide 237 is added to the upstream side. Instead, the lower mold 207 is not required, and a simple platform is sufficient. Also, the press die 219 is not required, and the mechanism can be simplified since there is no need to press. With such a change, the beverage vending machine shown in Fig. 18 can be operated in the same way.
以上のように本実施形態によれば、 ロールフィルタにあらかじめ凹部 が形成されているので、 プレスする必要がなく、 機構を簡略にできる。 水はあらかじめ加熱することなく、 フィルタであらかじめ形成されたホ ッパー内にコーヒ一豆粉を入れた後に常温の水を注入しその後に高周波 加熱をするので、 待機電力も必要なく、 また温度も低いので、 かびや細 菌も繁殖しにくいという好適な環境が得られる。 なお、 フィルタに凹部を形成するには上記の構成に限ることなく、 ド リ ツバと して原料と水を収容できる部分を形成できればよいものであ る。 (実施の形態 1 2 ) As described above, according to this embodiment, since the concave portion is formed in the roll filter in advance, there is no need to press, and the mechanism can be simplified. Water is not pre-heated.Normally high-temperature heating is also required, since normal temperature water is injected after placing coffee bean flour in a hopper pre-formed with a filter, followed by high frequency heating. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a suitable environment in which mold and bacteria are not easily propagated. In order to form the concave portion in the filter, the present invention is not limited to the above-described configuration, but may be any as long as a portion capable of accommodating a raw material and water can be formed as a dribber.

第 2 3図は本実施形態におけるコーヒー豆粉入りのロールフィルタ 2 3 9を示す図で、 第 2 3図 ( a ) は正面図、 第 2 3図 (b ) は要部断面 図、 第 2 3図 ( c ) は下面から見た斜視図である。 この抽出用原料入り のフィルタ手段であるコーヒ一豆粉入り のロールフィルタ 2 3 9は、 パ ルプ繊維やプラスチックを材料とした不織布などを用いたフィルタ 2 4 1を部分的にプレスしてドリ ッパ 2 4 1 aを形成し、 その中にコーヒー 豆を挽いた粉 2 4 5を入れ、 上からフィルタ 2 4 3を重ねてプレス、 溶 着、 接着等で一体化しロール状にする。  FIG. 23 is a diagram showing a roll filter 2339 containing coffee beans powder in the present embodiment. FIG. 23 (a) is a front view, FIG. 23 (b) is a sectional view of a main part, and FIG. FIG. 3 (c) is a perspective view seen from the lower surface. The roll filter 239 containing coffee bean flour, which is a filter means containing the raw material for extraction, is obtained by partially pressing a filter 241 using a nonwoven fabric made of pulp fiber or plastic and dribbling. Forming the powder 2411a, put the ground coffee grounds 2445 into it, layer the filter 2443 from above and combine them by pressing, welding, gluing, etc. into a roll.
フィルタ 2 4 1は抽出するためであるから、 ある程度の厚さと密度が 要求されるが、 フィルタ 2 4 3はコーヒ豆を挽いた粉 2 4 5が飛散しな いためであり、 飲料抽出自動販売機に装着して使用する時には、 上から 注水するので、 水が速やかに透過するように、 できるだけ密度の荒い、 薄いものが好ましい。  Filter 241 is for extraction, so a certain thickness and density is required, but filter 243 is for ground coffee beans 245, which is not scattered. When it is used by attaching it to the water, it is poured from the top, so it is preferable that the density is as rough and thin as possible so that water can be transmitted quickly.
このように構成したコーヒー豆粉入り ロールフィルタ 2 3 9を実施の 形態 1 0に示すような飲料抽出自動販売機に装着するには、 下型 2 0 7 が不要であり、 単なる乗せ台でよい。 またプレス型 2 1 9も原料容器 2 2 3も不要であり、 構成が大幅に簡略化される。 その代わりスリ ッ ト 2 0 1 bがロールフィルタを移動させるときにはドリ ッパ 2 4 1 aを通過 させるために幅が広くなるように構成する必要があることと、 コーヒー 豆粉入り ロールフィルタ 2 3 9がかなりかさばるので、 筐体内にそのス ペースを考慮する必要がある。 以上のように構成された本実施形態のコーヒー豆粉入りロールフィル タ 2 3 9と飲料抽出自動販売機を用いれば、 水はあらかじめ加熱するこ となく、 あらかじめ形成され、 中にコーヒー豆粉を入れたドリ ッパに常 温の水を注入しその後に高周波加熱をするので、 待機電力も必要なく、 また温度も低いのでかびや細菌も繁殖しにくいという好適な環境が得ら れる。 In order to mount the coffee bean-containing roll filter 2 39 configured as described above on a beverage extraction vending machine as shown in Embodiment 10, the lower mold 2 07 is unnecessary, and a simple platform is sufficient. . Further, neither the press die 2 19 nor the raw material container 2 23 is required, and the configuration is greatly simplified. Instead, when the slit 201b moves the roll filter, it needs to be configured to be wider to pass the dripper 2411a. Since 9 is quite bulky, it is necessary to consider its space in the housing. By using the coffee bean meal-containing roll filter 23 9 and the beverage extraction vending machine of the present embodiment configured as described above, the water is formed in advance without heating in advance, and the coffee bean powder is contained therein. Room temperature water is injected into the dripper, and high-frequency heating is performed afterwards. Therefore, there is no need for standby power, and the low temperature provides a favorable environment in which mold and bacteria are not easily propagated.
(実施の形態 1 3 ) (Embodiment 13)
本実施形態の特徴は、 上記各実施形態に用いたフィルタを特殊な機能 を持った機能性フィルタに変えることを特徴とする。 機能性フィルタに ついては、 すでに実施の形態 1で説明したところであるが改めてここに 再録する。  The feature of this embodiment is that the filter used in each of the above embodiments is changed to a functional filter having a special function. The functional filter has already been described in the first embodiment, but will be reprinted here.
機能性フィルタの製法の 1つは、 パルプまたはプラスチックの不織布 など強い繊維で作った厚さ 5 0 μ m程度のフィルタ材料に熱可溶性材料 を塗布または含浸させたものである。 この熱可溶性材料は、 食用に適し たものであって、 余り味もなく、 所定温度以下の温度では液体を通過し にく く、 所定温度以上の温度では通過しやすくできることを要し、 たと えば寒天がこの条件に合致して好適である。  One method of making a functional filter is to apply or impregnate a filter material with a thickness of about 50 μm made of strong fibers such as pulp or plastic nonwoven fabric with a heat-soluble material. This heat-soluble material is edible, has little taste, is difficult to pass liquid at a temperature lower than a predetermined temperature, and must be able to pass liquid at a temperature higher than a predetermined temperature, for example. Agar is suitable for this condition.
寒天は天草などの紅藻類の海藻に存在する粘性物質を熱水抽出し水分 を除去したもので、 融点は 8 0度 Cないし 1 0 0度 C、 凝固点は 3 5度 Cないし 4 5度 C程度というヒステリシス特性を持っている。 他に熱可 溶性材料として、 カラギナン、 ファーセレラン、 ジュランガム、 澱粉、 加工澱粉より選ばれる少なく とも 1種以上の糊料が同様に有効である。 オプラートなどもこの範疇に入る。 また用途は限定されるが糖質の飴状 物質なども用いることができよう。  Agar is a hot-water extract of viscous substances present in red seaweeds such as Amakusa, and the moisture is removed.The melting point is 80 ° C to 100 ° C, and the freezing point is 35 ° C to 45 ° C. It has a degree of hysteresis characteristic. In addition, at least one kind of paste selected from carrageenan, furceleran, juran gum, starch, and modified starch is also effective as a heat-soluble material. Oplates also fall into this category. Although the use is limited, sugar-like candy-like substances may be used.
寒天を用いる場合の機能性フィルタの製造は、 まず粉末寒天または固 形寒天等を熱水に溶解し、 約 2ないし 3 %程度の寒天溶液を作り、 沸騰 .させて溶解させ溶解液にする。 一般家庭用の角寒天や糸寒天等は不純物 が多く このような用途にはあまり適当ではない。 この溶解したものが凝 固 (凝固点は約 3 5度 C前後) する前にフィルタ基材に塗布、 または含 浸加工する。 具体的にはパルプ繊維シートにスプレーによって寒天溶解 液を吹き付ける。 またはスプレーする代わりに刷毛などで塗布してもよ く、 また寒天溶解液の中へパルプ繊維シ一トを浸してもよい。 When agar is used, the production of a functional filter begins with powder agar or solid agar. Dissolve shaped agar etc. in hot water, make an agar solution of about 2 to 3%, boil and dissolve to make a solution. Corner agar and thread agar for general household use have a lot of impurities and are not very suitable for such applications. Before the melted product solidifies (solidification point is around 35 ° C), it is applied or impregnated to the filter substrate. Specifically, the agar solution is sprayed on the pulp fiber sheet by spraying. Alternatively, instead of spraying, it may be applied with a brush or the like, or the pulp fiber sheet may be immersed in the agar solution.
塗布、 含浸が終わると自然乾燥、 加熱乾燥または真空乾燥等により乾 燥させ水分を除去して含浸されたパルプ繊維シートにする。 乾燥方法と してより好ましくは、 塗布または含浸された寒天溶液をゲル化温度以上 で乾燥することである。 この寒天はゲル化工程を通らないため、 易溶化 されることになる。 この機能性フィルタは繊維の隙間に熱可溶性材料で ある寒天が入り込んで凝固した状態となって目詰まりを起こしている。 この機能性フィルタは、 上記のように繊維に寒天を含浸させた単層の ものでもよいが、 寒天を塗布または含浸させて目詰まりを起こさせた機 能性フィルタと通常の濾過フィルタとをラミネートしたものでも差し支 えなく、 その他種々の変形が可能である。  After the application and impregnation are completed, the pulp fiber sheet is dried by air drying, heat drying or vacuum drying to remove moisture and to give an impregnated pulp fiber sheet. More preferably, the drying method is to dry the applied or impregnated agar solution at a gelling temperature or higher. Since this agar does not pass through the gelation process, it will be easily solubilized. In this functional filter, agar, which is a heat-soluble material, enters the gaps between the fibers and becomes solidified, causing clogging. This functional filter may be a single layer in which fibers are impregnated with agar as described above, but a functional filter in which clogging is caused by applying or impregnating agar with a normal filtration filter is laminated. Any other modifications are possible without any problem.
また細孔を設けたプラスチックのシートの細孔を熱可溶性材料で目詰 まりするように塗布または含浸したものを用いてもよい。  Alternatively, a plastic sheet having pores coated or impregnated so that the pores are clogged with a heat-soluble material may be used.
機能性フィルタの他の例と して、 ポリエステル、 ポリオレフイン等の 疎水性熱融着性繊維を、 たとえば湿式法で厚さ方向に略直線状の径約 7 0〜 2 5 0 mの微細孔を有する不織布に形成した第 1の不織布層と、 ポリプロピレン、 ポリエチレン等の疎水性熱融着性繊維を不織布に形成 した第 2の不織布層とを積層し第 1の不織布層の微細孔が第 2の層の繊 維で適度にふさがれ、 このフィルタが常温の水に対して通液性がなく、 加熱された水はこのフィルタに対する表面張力が低下することを利用し た機能性フィルタを用いてもよい。 As another example of a functional filter, hydrophobic heat-fusible fibers such as polyester and polyolefin are used.For example, micropores with a diameter of approximately 70 to 250 m that are approximately linear in the thickness direction by a wet method are used. A first non-woven fabric layer formed on a non-woven fabric having a non-woven fabric and a second non-woven fabric layer formed on a non-woven fabric with hydrophobic heat-fusible fibers such as polypropylene and polyethylene are laminated, and the fine pores of the first non-woven fabric layer are formed on the second non-woven fabric layer. The fiber in the layer is adequately closed, and this filter is not permeable to water at room temperature, and heated water takes advantage of the fact that the surface tension of this filter is reduced. Alternatively, a functional filter may be used.
. 本実施形態のフィルタを上記の実施の形態 1 0ないし 1 2のフィルタ に適用するこどができる。 すなわち実施の形態 1 0の口一ルフィルタ 2 0 3 , 実施の形態 1 1のロールフィルタ 2 3 5、 および実施の形態 1 2 のコーヒー豆粉入り ロールフィルタ 2 3 9のフィルタ 2 4 1 に適用でき る。 フィルタ 2 4 3は常温の水を通す部分であり、 この部分には使用で きない。  The filter of the present embodiment can be applied to the filters of Embodiments 10 to 12. That is, it can be applied to the mouth filter 200 3 of the embodiment 10, the roll filter 2 35 of the embodiment 11, and the roll filter 2 39 of the coffee bean flour of the embodiment 12. You. The filter 243 is a portion through which water at normal temperature passes, and cannot be used in this portion.
これら各種の機能性フィルタの共通点は、 常温ではほとんど水分を通 さないが、 温度を上げていくに従いわずかずつ水分を通し始め、 ある温 度に至ったときに急激に水分を通すようになることであり、 このような 機能性フィルタと高周波加熱との組み合わせにより、 抽出状態が均一化 できるという利点がある。  The common feature of these various types of functional filters is that they hardly pass moisture at normal temperature, but they begin to pass moisture little by little as the temperature rises, and when the temperature reaches a certain temperature, they pass moisture rapidly Thus, there is an advantage that the extraction state can be made uniform by combining such a functional filter with high-frequency heating.
また特に寒天を使ったフィルタは、 コーヒーに独特な苦みや渋みを軽 減するという事実を発見した。 当初我々はこの現象を、 抽出状態が均一 化できるためであると考えていたが、 種々の実験の結果、 フィルタに含 浸された寒天が、 温度の上昇によって水分を通すようになつた後もフィ ルタの繊維の周辺に残り、 これがコーヒーの苦みや渋みの成分を吸着す るものであろう、 との仮説に到達した。  We also found that filters using agar, in particular, reduce the bitterness and astringency unique to coffee. Initially, we thought that this phenomenon was due to the fact that the extraction conditions could be homogenized, but as a result of various experiments, even after the agar impregnated in the filter passed moisture due to the rise in temperature. The hypothesis was reached that it would remain around the filter fibers, absorbing the bitter and astringent components of coffee.
さらに含浸する寒天の分子量をコントロールする事により味が変わる ことも発見した。 すなわち分子量が 2〜 3万程度のもの、 分子量 1 0 0 万以上のもの、 その中間のもの等をいろいろ組み合わせて含浸して使う と、 分子量の多いものの方が苦みや渋みが減ることもわかった。 これは 分子量の多いものの方がフィルタ繊維に多く残留して、 抽出されたコー ヒーから、 苦み ·渋み成分を吸着してしまうものと見られる。 あまり吸 着すると単純な味となるので、 分子量の大きさと、 その組み合わせを抽 出条件に合わせることが大切である。 このような実験結果から上記の仮 説が証明されるのではないかと考える。 They also found that controlling the molecular weight of the agar to be impregnated could change the taste. In other words, it was also found that if various molecular weights of about 20,000 to 30,000, molecular weights of 100,000 or more, and intermediates were used in various combinations and impregnated, those with higher molecular weights would reduce bitterness and astringency. . This is because the higher molecular weight remains in the filter fiber and adsorbs bitter and astringent components from the extracted coffee. If it absorbs too much, it will have a simple taste, so it is important to match the molecular weight and its combination to the extraction conditions. From such experimental results, the above temporary I think that the theory is proved.
. 以上のように本実施形態によれば、 実施の形態 1 0ないし 1 2の自動 販売機に、 機能性フィルタを用いることによって、 抽出条件を均一にで きるという効果が得られる。 また機能性フィルタに含浸する熱可溶性材 料に寒天を用いること、 またその材質を最適化する事により味覚のコン トロールもできるという効果が得られる。  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the use of the functional filter in the vending machine according to the tenth to thirteenth embodiments provides an effect that the extraction conditions can be made uniform. The use of agar as the heat-soluble material impregnated in the functional filter, and by optimizing the material, the effect of controlling the taste can be obtained.
なお、 以上の各実施の形態の説明では、 主としてコーヒーを抽出する 場合を例に挙げたが、 コーヒーのみならず、 紅茶、 緑茶、 薬草などの抽 出に適用しても差し支えない。  In the description of each of the above embodiments, the case of mainly extracting coffee is taken as an example. However, the present invention may be applied to extraction of not only coffee but also tea, green tea, herbs and the like.
また上記の各実施の形態は、 それぞれ単独でなく互いに組み合わせて 実施することが可能である。  Each of the above embodiments can be implemented not only alone but also in combination with each other.
さらに実例として挙げた器具やフィルタの構成、 構造や数値は一例で あり、 請求の範囲内で任意に変更して用いることが可能であることはい うまでもない。  Furthermore, the configurations, structures, and numerical values of the devices and filters mentioned as examples are merely examples, and it goes without saying that the devices and filters can be arbitrarily changed and used within the scope of the claims.
産業上の利用可能性 以上説明したように本発明の飲料抽出装置は、 低温では抽出液を透過 させず、 高温になれば抽出液を透過させる機能性フィルタに抽出材と抽 出液を収容して、 電磁波で加熱し、 抽出液の加熱による機能性フィルタ を透過して力ップへ滴下した抽出液と力ップの総重量を検出し、 その一 定値を超えたか、 または重量増加の飽和かのいずれかを検出して電磁波 を停止させることにより、 過度の抽出や、 抽出不足を防ぎ、 誰でも容易 に一定の味を抽出できる、 という効果は大きく、 この機能性フィルタの 機能を司る物質に寒天を用いれば抽出液の苦みや渋みをコントロールで きるという効果も加えることができる。 INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY As described above, the beverage extraction device of the present invention stores an extraction material and an extraction liquid in a functional filter that does not allow the extraction liquid to pass through at a low temperature and allows the extraction liquid to pass through at a high temperature. And heated by electromagnetic waves to detect the total weight of extract and drips that have passed through the functional filter due to the heating of the extract and dropped onto the nip, and have exceeded a certain value, or have saturated the weight increase. Stopping electromagnetic waves by detecting either of these factors prevents excessive extraction or insufficient extraction, and has the effect of allowing anyone to easily extract a certain taste.The substance that controls the function of this functional filter If agar is used, the bitterness and astringency of the extract can be controlled. The effect of cutting can also be added.
. また、 電磁シ一ル ドで囲まれた範囲を小さく した構成を用いれば、 小 型のマグネトロンを用いることができ、 電気使用量も少なくてすむもの である。  In addition, if a configuration in which the area surrounded by the electromagnetic shield is reduced is used, a small magnetron can be used, and the amount of electricity used can be reduced.
さらに本発明の飲料抽出自動販売機は、 水はあらかじめ加熱すること なく、 フィルタを形成したホッパー内にコーヒー豆粉等の抽出原料を入 れた後に常温の水を注入しその後に高周波加熱をするので、 待機電力も 必要なく 、 環境に負荷をかけず、 また常時は温度も低いので、 従来のも のに比べて、 かぴゃ細菌も繁殖しにくいという好適な環境が得られる。 またドリ ッパはロール状の使い捨てのフィルタに形成されるので、 事 後の洗浄等の必要がなく水の無駄がなく衛生的であるという効果があ る。  Furthermore, the beverage extraction vending machine of the present invention does not heat the water in advance, but pours the extraction material such as coffee bean powder into the filter-formed hopper, injects water at room temperature, and then performs high-frequency heating. Therefore, no standby power is required, no load is imposed on the environment, and the temperature is always low, so that a favorable environment is obtained in which bacteria do not easily proliferate as compared with conventional ones. In addition, since the dripper is formed in a roll-shaped disposable filter, there is no need for subsequent cleaning or the like, and there is an effect that there is no waste of water and sanitation.
またドリ ッパをあらかじめ形成したロールフィルタを用いたり、 ロー ルフィルタにコーヒー豆粉等の原料が入ったものを用いれば、 上記の効 果に加えて、 装置の構成をさらに簡略化できるという効果も得られる。  The use of a roll filter in which a dripper is formed in advance, or the use of a roll filter containing a raw material such as coffee bean powder, has the effect of further simplifying the configuration of the apparatus in addition to the above effects. can get.
さらにフィルタと して温度によって液体の透過度が変わる機能性フィ ルタを用いれば、 抽出条件を均一化でき、 この機能性フィルタの機能を 司る物質に寒天を用いれば抽出液の苦みや渋みをコントロールできると レ、う効果も加えることができる。  Furthermore, using a functional filter that changes the liquid permeability depending on the temperature as a filter, the extraction conditions can be made uniform, and using agar as the substance that controls the function of this functional filter can control the bitterness and astringency of the extract. If you can, you can add the effect.
