- the refrigerating chamber 57 is formed with a mounting hole 66 on the side surface of the dispenser main body 1 and the tubular member 70 is passed through the mounting hole 66.
- the cold storage room 57 dispenser body 1 adopts a door open / close configuration like a general refrigerator. That is, the refrigerator compartment 57 opens and closes the open / close door 56 for external access from the back side, and the dispenser body 1 generally opens and closes the front panel door to the front side. It has a form.
- the handling structure 9 in which the tubular member 70 is pulled out without penetrating as much as possible is shown in FIG.
- the access opening / closing part 91 for taking in and out the stored items is first formed at the upper part in the refrigerator compartment 57 and the dispenser main body 1.
- the lower part formed in a fixed state with respect to the upper opening / closing part 91 is mainly the body part 92, and the joint part (connection part) between the opening / closing part 91 and the body part 92 is the boundary edge 93.
- the boundary edge 93 is formed so as to extend over the side surfaces of the refrigerator compartment 57 and the dispenser body 1, and the tubular member is hooked on the boundary edge 93.
- a holding portion 94 for holding 70 is formed (here, both the refrigerator compartment 57 and the dispenser main body portion 1 are formed on the body portion 92 side).
- the holding portion 94 is formed so as to generate the detachable permissible opening 94a by the boundary end edge 93, so that the tubular member 70 can be attached and detached very easily.
- the detachable permissible opening 94a force is used to attach / detach the tube-shaped member 70 to the holding portion 94, or to remove the tube-shaped member 70 from this to release the hold. is there.
- the holding portion 94 is formed as a constricted notch having an inner diameter that is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the tubular member 70. Therefore, the size and shape of the holding portion 94 (notch portion) will be described in more detail below.
- the holding portion 94 holds the tube-like member 70 by receiving the tubular member 70 in the constricted portion thereof, and this holding action diameter CD is equal to that of the tubular member 70. More than half, more specifically 2 / 3-4 / 5 of the tubular member 70 (outer diameter) is preferred. For this reason, the remaining edge part of about 1/3-1/5 is formed so that the applied force is also cut off by the boundary edge 93, which corresponds to the desorption allowance opening 94a. To do.
- the holding portion 94 is formed so as to be constricted as a whole while the fitting of the tubular member 70 is facilitated by the detachable permissible opening 94a, so that the tubular member 70 once received is formed.
- the tubular member 70 fitted into the holding portion 94 is in a state in which an outer diameter of about 1Z31 to 1Z5 protrudes from the boundary edge 93 (when the lid in FIG. 11 is opened).
- the tube-shaped member 70 is deformed to the extent that it does not interfere with the supply of milk or the like by closing the opening / closing part 91 serving as a lid, and is in close contact with the inner surface of the holding part 94 (the lid closing in FIG. 11). See time chart).
- the opening / closing part 91 is opened, the tubular member 70 returns to a substantially circular shape by its own elasticity.
- the close contact of the tubular member 70 to the inner surface of the holding portion 94 due to the closing of the opening / closing portion 91 causes the tubular member 70 to have a retaining action. That is, while the beverage dispenser A is in operation, the force is likely to generate vibration (pulsation) with the transfer of milk M or the like. Since the tubular member 70 is in close contact with the inner surface of the holding portion 94, the tubular member 70 due to pulsation 70 It is possible to prevent omission (movement).
- the reason why the holding part 94 is formed in the upper part of the side of the refrigerator compartment 57 is because of the vertically placed milk pack MP. That is, here, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, etc., the tube-shaped member 70 is inserted from above the milk pack MP, and the milk M is transferred to the cup C side by the pump unit 6, so this transfer is performed more reliably. Therefore, the holding portion 94 is formed at a position higher than the vertically placed milk pack MP.
- the holding portion 94 is formed on the fixed body portion 92 side in order to stably hold the tubular member 70 regardless of the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing portion 91.
- the holding portion 94 can be formed in the opening / closing portion 91.
- forming the holding part 94 on the body part 92 side is extremely convenient and desirable in terms of handling and hygiene management, for example, because the tubular member 70 does not fall out due to a reaction when the opening / closing part 91 is opened. It is considered a form.
- the open / close part 91 of the refrigerator compartment 57 is disposed continuously from the top or part of the top surface in a folded manner.
- the opening / closing part 91 is not necessarily open / closed up and down, but, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, a front door formed so as to include the upper part of the side surface (the same reference numeral 91 as the above opening / closing part). It is also possible to open and close the entire front side.
- Forming the holding portion 94 in a circular shape of an appropriate size in this manner is extremely effective in that the holding portion 94 can be designed and processed in a simple manner.
- a guide 94b can be added.
- the guide 94b is formed in a direction substantially orthogonal to the holding portion 94.
- the insertion can be facilitated and the insertion direction can be stabilized. is there.
- the guide 94b is formed in an outward projecting state from the side surface of the body portion 92, and the guide 94b is formed in an indented state on the side surface of the opening / closing portion 91.
- such a guide 94b may be formed on either the opening / closing part 91 or the body part 92.
- the guide 94b is formed using the wall thickness of the opening / closing part 91 and the body part 92.
- the handling structure 9 in which the tubular member 70 is fitted into the joining end edge (boundary edge 93) of the opening / closing portion 91 or the body portion 92 is used when the tubular member 70 is cleaned or replaced.
- a sufficiently satisfactory effect can be obtained in that it is very easy to perform desorption (removal and setting).
- beverage dispenser A it is desirable to clean several times a day for hygiene management, so it is extremely hygienic and easy to clean and replace the tube-shaped member 70, which required excessive labor.
- the maintenance of beverage dispenser A is extremely improved.
- the holding portion 94 is formed on the left and right wall surfaces of the refrigerator main body 1 as described above. In addition, it is preferable to be able to handle both right and left positions.
- FIG. 11 the front of the refrigerator compartment 57 and the dispenser body 1 is shown shifted by 90 degrees. This is to show the opening and closing structure of the opening and closing part 91, the formation position of the holding part 94, etc., and the handling structure 9 of the tubular member 70, which is not clearly shown in the arrangement of both members. Generally, it is arranged so that the front faces in the same direction.
- the beverage dispenser A of the present invention has the basic structure as described above.
- a method for supplying milk will be described together with a method for producing coffee LM by the beverage dispenser A.
- an example will be given in which cappuccino and caffe latte are cooked in a hot state (hot).
- hot hot
- the fine squeezing and foaming of milk M is one of the important factors that determine these “full scale”.
- the coffee LM menu In order to set the coffee LM menu, it is usually selected by operating (pressing) the menu button B provided on the operation panel P. In this embodiment, the coffee LM menu is selected according to the menu selection of the coffee LM.
- the height of the spout 31 is also set automatically. That is, here, as described above, since the target menu is hot cappuccino or hot latte, the standard size cup C is used, and the spout 31 is automatically lowered accordingly. And set the height. Along with this operation, the standard-sized cup C is set in the injection chamber 30 manually or automatically.
- the tubing pump 69 is operated. Specifically, the rotating plate 72 is driven by the motor m2. By the rotation of the rotating disk 72, the tubular member 70 is repeatedly deformed by pressing (crushing) with the rollers 71 and returning (restoring) based on the elasticity of the member itself. In addition, since the deformation position is sequentially shifted to the supply side according to the force S applied to the rotating rotating disk 72, the milk M in the storage state is placed in the heating steam mixing chamber 43 in the tubular member 70. The milk M is supplied by this, and the conveying force (suction force) is generated.
- the turntable 72 is stopped when the target supply amount (90 cc as an example) is reached.
- the temperature of milk M stored in the refrigerator room 57 is about 8 ° C.
- the milk M in the storage state as described above is stored in the refrigerator compartment 57 by the operation of the tubing pump 69. Is sent to the heating steam mixing chamber 43 where it comes into contact with the heating steam S2 and is heated to about 80 ° C. as an example.
- the heated milk M is then sent to the frothed steam mixing chamber 49 through the milk supply path 36.
- the foaming steam mixing chamber 49 is supplied with foaming steam S3 mixed with air. And this is brought into contact with milk M.
- the foaming steam mixing chamber 49 it is preferable to mix the steam and the milk M while atomizing the milk M by the flow speed of the beating foaming steam S3 that improves the foaming of the milk M.
- the milk M that has come into contact with the foaming steam S3 in this way reaches the foaming chamber 50, where it is sufficiently stirred, and then becomes a finer and more finely formed milk.
- C is poured.
- the temperature of the foamed milk poured into cup C is set to approximately the same level as coffee liquor L (approximately 80 ° C as an example) so as not to lower the temperature of extracted coffee liquor L. Is done.
- foamed milk gradually changes (disappears) over time, so it is difficult to indicate the fineness of freshly squeezed foam with specific numbers.
- the milk C is a force explained to be produced in the form of a fine milk with a smooth and smooth foaming due to the hot cuff latte hot cappuccino etc.
- steam for heating If only S2 is applied to milk M and no foaming steam S3 is applied, it is possible to produce hot milk with little foaming or just hot milk without foaming. If only the foaming steam S3 containing air is allowed to act on the milk M, it is possible to produce foamed milk with a relatively low temperature.
- Coffee liquid L is extracted.
- Coffee beans are dropped and supplied from the hopper 10 to the casing 111 of the grinder unit 11 (see Fig. 10).
- the coffee beans that have fallen into the casing 111 in this way are sent to the mill blade 113 by the transfer action by the screw 112, where they are ground to an appropriate particle size and become coffee powder W.
- the blades 114 attached to the screw 112 substantially cause a transfer action on the coffee beans.
- the coffee powder W ground to an appropriate particle size is then fed into the dripper part 12 from the discharge port 111A of the casing 111 (see FIG. 14 (a)).
- the coffee powder W fed into the dripper 12 is then compressed by the cylinder part 13 (block 14) as shown in FIG. 14 (b). Specifically, the rotating shaft 15 is rotated (forward rotation) to raise the lower movable block 14B, and the coffee powder received between both blocks 14
- the compression of the coffee powder W is to allow the hot water for extraction to pass through evenly, so that the authentic coffee liquor L can be extracted in a short time.
- hot water is supplied to the coffee powder W compressed in the dripper 12 to extract the coffee liquor L. If hot water is supplied with the coffee powder W still compressed, a normal drip, for example, a comparison called espresso is used. A strong coffee liquor L can be extracted, which is usually dripped.
- the lower movable block 14B is lowered by about 2 to 3 mm as an example from the compression position, and after forming the Murashi space SP where the coffee powder W can float above the dripper 12. If hot water is supplied to coffee powder W, coffee liquid L with a milder or softer taste than normal drip can be extracted, and this is made into a natural drip. Hereinafter, these drip forms will be described sequentially. [0080] (a) Normal drip
- hot water for extraction is supplied from the lower side of the dripper section 12, for example, to the compressed coffee powder W.
- the hot water is taken out from the upper side of the dripper section 12 as the coffee liquid L from which the aroma components and coffee oil components of the coffee powder W are extracted.
- the reason why the hot water is supplied from the lower side of the dripper part 12 and the coffee liquid L extracted from the upper side is taken out is to efficiently take in aroma components, coffee oil components, etc. that are easily escaped from above.
- the power S can be heated.
- the extraction interval the interval from the previous extraction to the current extraction
- the hot water remaining in the hot water supply path 18 between the heating tank 40 and the lower filter 16B will be cooled. If this is directly supplied to coffee powder W as extracted hot water, the cold remaining hot water is pushed out first, so the temperature of the coffee liquid L, which should be about 80 ° C, is about 60 ° C. It may be reduced to about C (see Fig. 3) 0
- the steam supply path 19 is connected to the upper filter 16A, and the temperature rising steam S1 can be supplied therefrom, so that the extraction of the coffee liquid L is started.
- the temperature rising steam S1 is fed into the coffee grounds W to raise the temperature of the cooled remaining hot water, and as a result, hot coffee liquid L of around 80 ° C is always extracted regardless of the length of the extraction interval. It can be done.
- the temperature of the coffee liquor L when the extraction interval is long has been lowered (because it has become sloppy), the one extracted after the interval where the commercial value is poor has often been discarded.
- the extracted coffee powder W (squeezed residue W1) is kicked down by the scraper 24 to the residue receiver 25 separately installed as the movable block 14B descends.
- the manner of discharging W1 will be described.
- the movable block 14B is lowered by the reverse rotation of the rotary shaft 15 and separated from the fixed block 14A.
- the temperature rising steam S1 is first supplied to the upper filter 16A in accordance with the separation, and the coke adhering to the upper filter 16A is supplied. Residual residue of the powdered powder W is cut off from the filter surface and integrated with the lump of squeezed residue W1.
- the residue residue may be oxidized. Therefore, the coffee liquid L extracted after the interval becomes sour. , The taste of the original coffee liquid L (coffee LM) may be impaired.
- the steam residue W1 moves away from the upper filter 16A, the steam S1 for raising the temperature is supplied and adhered to the massive throttle residue W1 as much as possible (see FIG. 4). In other words, the surface of the upper filter 16 A is cleaned, and the force remaining on the upper filter 16 A can be almost eliminated. For this reason, even if the extraction interval is long, oxidation due to residual residue can be prevented, and extraction in a good state is always possible.
- the supply time of the heating steam S1 flowing to the upper filter 16A is too long, the remaining debris itself can be separated, but the lump in the lump state placed on the lower filter 16B There is a possibility that the residue W1 may become too soft, and when the scraper 24 kicks out, the lump state cannot be maintained, and there is a concern that the broken residue powder will be scattered around. For this reason, the supply time of the steam S1 for raising the temperature for the purpose of separation can be suppressed to about 0.5 to 1.5 seconds as an example.
- the movable block 14B that compressed the coffee powder W is lowered downward to release the compression, and as shown in FIG.
- the Murashi space SP is formed.
- the natural drip supplies hot water to the coffee powder W.
- the coffee powder W floats in the Murashi space SP, and the coffee liquid L (for example, espresso) extracted by the normal drip is usually used.
- a coffee liquor L with a more minor taste can be obtained.
- the movable block 14B is raised again, the throttle residue W1 is pressed and hardened, and hot water is supplied to the upper filter 16A.
- the subsequent discharge operation is the same as that of the normal drip described above.
- the normal drip and the natural drip can be selectively performed by the control method of the movable block 14B. Therefore, while using the same raw material (coffee powder W), a single beverage is used. Dispenser A can extract different coffee liquids.
- the hot cuff latte was used as the coffee LM, and hot coffee cappuccino was poured, so that the milk M was poured into the cup C and then the coffee liquid (beverage liquid) L was poured.
- the order of supply can be changed as appropriate according to the type and properties of the coffee LM. For example, depending on the coffee LM, the liquid milk M without foaming is first poured into the cup C, then the coffee liquid L is poured, and then the milk M with the finely squeezed foam is poured. Is also possible.
- heating steam S2 is sent to clean the supply path.
- the supply of milk M is stopped, and only the heating steam S 2 is sent to the supply path for cleaning.
- the steam cleans the inside of the milk supply path 36 after the heated steam mixing chamber 43, and the milk M adhering to the path is removed and the path is sterilized.
- the foaming steam mixing chamber 49 and the foaming chamber 50 can be cleaned by the heating steam S2.
- the milk foaming line 3 8 can be cleaned and sterilized.
- the heating steam S2 that has washed the milk supply line is a force that is led into the injection chamber 30 from the discharge nozzle 32.
- the fan 34 is connected to the injection chamber 30, so that the steam after cleaning is quickly Is discharged outside the device. For this reason, the injection chamber 30 is not filled with steam, and clouding of the open / close door 33 can be prevented.
- the discharge air from the fan 34 releases heat from the heating tank 40 and the like to the outside of the apparatus, and if the fan 34 is always operated, the steam is expelled from the injection chamber 30 and is stored in the dispenser.
- the ability to dissipate heat quickly As a result, the temperature around the hopper, which is often installed at the top of the dispenser, can be lowered, and coffee beans can be stored in a better quality state.
- the tubing pump 69 is used when the milk M is taken out in a fixed amount.
- a vibration pump or the like can be applied instead of the tubing pump 69.
- a supply form using gravity drop can be adopted. In this case, the quantity can be taken out without directly touching the milk M, and in particular, the power for taking out the quantity can be eliminated or reduced.
- the present invention can change the drip method even when strict management is required in coffee extraction, or even in a beverage dispenser where only espresso can be brewed normally. Is suitable for brewing coffee with a milder taste than espresso.
