In the following description of the present invention, when it is determined that the detailed description of the related known technology may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, the detailed description will be omitted.

1 is a schematic view schematically showing the overall structure of the soup and hot water supply device of the ramen vending machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a side view showing a soup supply unit of the present invention shown in FIG.

The present invention relates to a device for supplying a liquid soup and hot water to a pressure vessel that is installed in a ramen vending machine to rapidly cook ramen, the soup supply unit 100, soup control valve 200, hot water supply unit 300, hot water It may be made including a supply valve (400).

First, the soup supply unit 100 will be described.

The soup supply unit 100 is connected to the pressure vessel 10, to supply the soup in the form of liquid rather than powder to the pressure vessel 10 in a quantitative storage pack 101, the receiving case 102, The pack pressurizing plate 103, the pack pressurizing cylinder 104 and the soup supply tube 105 may be made.

The storage pack 101 is a pack for accommodating a liquid concentrated soup, and may have a form such as a pouch made of a flexible material such as vinyl. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and any structure and material capable of discharging the contents by pressing or compressing from the outside while accommodating the liquid soup will be possible.

The storage pack 101 may be mounted upright in the housing case 102 so that the discharge port 101a faces downward. In this case, a seating groove 102a or a mounting hole 102a may be formed in the lower surface of the housing case 102 so that the discharge port 101a is seated and fixed to the housing case 102.

Therefore, in order to replace the storage pack 101 when the soup is exhausted in one storage pack, the discharge port 101a is separated from the seating groove 102a or the mounting hole 102a, and the other storage. When the pack 101 is mounted, the outlet 101a of the storage pack 101 to be replaced may be replaced while being inserted into the seating groove 102a or the mounting hole.

The accommodation case 102 is provided to have a space enough to accommodate the storage pack 101, it may be further provided with a door (102b) to facilitate the replacement of the storage pack 101. The door 102b may further include a locking means 102c for locking the door 102b.

In addition, the pack pressing plate 103 is installed inside the housing case 102, the front of the storage pack 101.

The pack presser plate 103 is formed in a flat plate shape and is installed to be adjacent to the front of the storage pack 101. In addition, by having an area approximately similar to that of the storage pack 101, the entire area of the storage pack 101 may be uniformly pressed.

Here, the pack pressing cylinder 104 is installed in the door 102b, and the rod 104a of the pack pressing cylinder 104 is coupled to the pack pressing plate 103.

That is, the body of the pack pressure cylinder 104 is horizontally coupled to the door 102b and vertically coupled to the door surface. The rod 104a of the pack pressurizing cylinder 104 penetrates through the door 102b and is coupled to the pack pressurizing plate 103 so that the pack 104a of the pack pressurizing cylinder 104 moves forward and backward. The pressure plate 103 can be moved back and forth.

In this case, the pack pressurizing cylinder 104 may be a pneumatic cylinder, so that the pack pressurizing plate 103 presses the storage pack 101 at a constant pressure by supplying a constant pneumatic pressure.

That is, the pack pressurizing cylinder 104 is operated only when soup supply is required, and the pack pressurizing plate 103 does not discharge the liquid soup by pressing the storage pack 101, but the pack pressurizing plate 103 always The storage pack 101 is maintained in a pressurized state at a constant pressure.

Therefore, the liquid soup stored in the storage pack 101 maintains a state that is continuously discharged through the discharge port (101a).

When the liquid soup of the storage pack 101 is exhausted, that is, when the pack presser plate 103 cannot press the storage pack 101 completely to advance further, a separate switch such as a limit switch is used. A sensor may be further provided to inform the administrator.

On the other hand, the storage pack 101 and the pressure vessel 10 is connected to each other by a soup supply tube 105.

Specifically, one end of the soup supply tube 105 is coupled to the discharge port 101a of the storage pack 101, and the other end thereof is coupled to communicate with the pressure lid 20 of the pressure vessel 10. Therefore, the liquid soup of the storage pack 101 may be discharged through the discharge port 101a by the pressing force of the pack pressurizing plate 103 and may be supplied to the pressure vessel 10 along the soup supply tube 105. have.

In addition, since the pack pressing plate 103 maintains a state in which the storage pack 101 is continuously pressurized at a predetermined pressure, the liquid soup is continuously discharged to maintain the state in which the pack press plate 103 is continuously supplied to the pressure vessel 10.

In addition, the soup supply tube 105 may be a general tubular shape, but preferably made of a flexible material such as rubber or silicone may be easy to bend or crimp.

Next, the soup supply unit 100 is provided with a soup control valve 200 can adjust the amount of soup supplied to the pressure vessel (10).

That is, the soup control valve 200 may be installed on the soup supply tube 105 of the soup supply unit 100, and specifically, may include a control cylinder 202 and a tube support 201. .

As shown, the tube support 201 is fixed to be in contact with one side of the soup supply tube 105, the rod 202a of the control cylinder 202 on the other side of the soup supply tube 105 is It is arranged to be in contact with the soup feed tube 105 vertically.

Therefore, as the rod 202a of the adjustment cylinder 202 moves forward, the end of the rod 202a presses the soup supply tube 105 to block the flow of the liquid soup, and then moves backward to open and flow the liquid soup. Can be supplied.

In this case, the rod 202a of the control cylinder 202 is normally advanced in a separate control unit (not shown) to press the soup supply tube 105 to maintain a state in which soup supply is blocked, and then the adjustment is made when the order comes in. The rod 202a of the cylinder 202 can be reversed to feed the soup.

Here, the control unit adjusts the amount of soup to be supplied by setting a time step by step to maintain the rod 202a of the adjustment cylinder 202 in the reversed state.

For example, when the orderer has selected a basic taste, the rod 202a of the adjustment cylinder 202 may open the soup feed tube 105 for the time set therein (about 5 seconds). If a taste stronger than the basic taste is selected, the taste can be selected by controlling to open the soup feed tube 105 for a longer time (6 seconds) than the time basically set. Of course, when selecting a weak taste, the soup feed tube 105 is controlled to block more quickly (4 seconds).

Next, the hot water supply unit 300 will be described.

The hot water supply unit 300 is configured to supply hot water when rapidly cooking ramen in the pressure vessel 10 and at the same time rinse the liquid soup residue remaining in the soup supply tube 105.

To this end, the hot water supply unit 300 may include a hot water tank 310, an auxiliary tank 320, a hot water supply tube 330.

The hot water tank 310 is a tank for storing hot water. The water stored in the hot water tank 310 is continuously supplied from the outside to maintain a predetermined amount or more and is controlled to maintain a predetermined temperature, for example, 90 ℃ or more.

The hot water tank 310 is a structure that can maintain a heated state attached to a separate heating wire or heater.

In addition, the auxiliary tank 320 is a separate small tank connected to the hot water tank 310 and has a capacity capable of cooking one ramen. Generally, when cooking one ramen, about 500cc of water is required, so the capacity of the auxiliary tank 320 may be about 500cc or more.

The auxiliary tank 320 is controlled to receive hot water from the hot water tank 310 and wait until the next order when the ramen cooking is completed.

The hot water of the auxiliary tank 320 is also maintained in a heated state by a heater or a heating wire to maintain a high temperature.

For reference, a separate hot water supplement valve may be further provided between the hot water tank 310 and the auxiliary tank 320.

The hot water supply tube 330 is provided between the auxiliary tank 320 and the pressure vessel 10 to be connected to each other. That is, hot water is supplied from the auxiliary tank 320 to the pressure vessel 10 through the hot water supply tube 330.

At this time, a hot water supply valve 400 for opening and closing the supply of hot water on the hot water supply tube 330 may be provided. The hot water supply valve 400 may be a valve that is controlled to be open or closed, or a check valve to allow hot water to flow from the auxiliary tank 320 only to the pressure vessel 10 and not to flow back.

However, in the present invention, the auxiliary tank 320 may be further provided with a compressed air supply means 600.

The compressed air supply means 600 is to inject the compressed air into the pressure vessel 10 to make the inside of the pressure vessel 10 to a high pressure. This is to significantly reduce the cooking time required to cook the ramen at atmospheric pressure by cooking the ramen at high pressure to improve the texture of the noodle.

The compressed air supply means 600 includes a compressor 610 for producing compressed air, an air tube 620 for supplying the air compressed by the compressor 610 to the auxiliary tank 320, and the air tube. It may be configured to include an air supply valve 630 is installed.

At this time, a regulator (not shown) for adjusting the pressure to supply the appropriate pressure may be further provided.

In general, when cooking ramen in a pressure vessel, when the water is boiled and steam is generated, the pressure inside the pressure vessel is increased by the steam pressure. Usually it can rise to a pressure of about 1.5 kgf / cm ² .

However, since the vapor pressure does not occur before the water boils, the ramen can only be cooked under atmospheric pressure.

Accordingly, if it can hang up to 5kgf / cm ² level of pressure at about 2kgf / cm ² in the cooking start from the compressor (610). When the ramen starts to cook under high pressure, the ramen can cook much faster, while hot water penetrates deeper and deeper into the ramen noodle under pressure. In addition, the surface and inside of the noodles are ripe at about the same time, so the texture of the ramen is excellent.

The air supply valve 630 is opened when hot water of the auxiliary tank 320 is supplied to the pressure vessel 10 so that compressed air and hot water are supplied together into the pressure vessel 10.

By the way, in the present invention, the soup supply tube 105 is connected to the pressure lid 20 (part A in the figure), that is, the section between the soup control valve 200 and the pressure lid 20 is the soup adjustment Even if the valve 200 blocks the soup supply, soup residues which have already passed through the soup control valve but are not supplied to the pressure vessel remain.

These soup residues are introduced into the pressure lid 20 or the pressure vessel 10 after the ramen cooking is finished and a portion flows down in the state in which the pressure lid 20 is opened. This can be a hygienic and visual problem for the orderer. In addition, there is a problem that the soup remains stuck inside the empty pressure vessel after the cooked ramen is distributed, and is stuck or burned by being pressed inside the pressure vessel in a high temperature state.

This problem is solved by arranging the hot water supply tube 330 to be connected to the soup supply tube 105 positioned in the section between the soup control valve 200 and the pressure lid rather than directly connecting the pressure lid 20. It is possible.

That is, one end of the hot water supply tube 330 is connected to the auxiliary tank 320, the other end is connected to communicate with the point A of the soup supply tube 105. Therefore, hot water supplied from the auxiliary tank 320 through the hot water supply tube 330 is injected together into the pressure vessel 10 while washing the soup residue remaining in the A portion of the soup supply tube 105. do.

To this end, the soup supply tube and the hot water supply tube may be connected using the T-type connecting tube 430 as shown.

As a result, even after the cooking of the ramen is finished, even if the pressure lid 20 is opened, not only the soup residue does not flow into the pressure lid or the pressure vessel, but also the problem of being pressed and fixed inside the pressure vessel is solved.

In addition, since the soup, hot water and compressed air are injected into the pressure vessel through a single flow path, since the dropping point is the same, the liquid soup dropped first on the ramen is well dispersed by hot water and compressed air injected thereafter, and mixed well with the ramen. The problem that the soup remains without melting on the conventionally cooked ramen can be completely solved.

On the other hand, the auxiliary tank 320 is formed with a discharge port for discharging the remaining steam or compressed air therein. The discharge port may be further provided with a discharge valve.

Hereinafter will be described the operation of the present invention having the structure as described above.

In the initial state before ordering, the pressure lid 20 is open, and the soup control valve 200 pressurizes the soup supply tube 105 to block the soup supply. Of course, the pack pressurizing cylinder 104 presses the storage pack 101 as the rod is advanced.

In addition, the auxiliary tank 320 is filled with hot water of a capacity to cook one ramen, the hot water supply valve 400 is in a closed state.

In addition, the compressed air supply means 600 is ready to supply compressed air and the air supply valve 630 is in a closed state.

If the orderer in this initial state drops the ramen into the pressure vessel 10, the pressure lid 20 is closed while completely closing the pressure vessel (10).

And first, the soup supply unit 100 is operated to supply the liquid soup.

That is, when the soup supply tube 105, which has been pressurized by the soup control valve 200, is opened for a set time, a quantity of soup is injected into the pressure vessel 10, and when the set time is exceeded, the soup adjustment is made. The valve 200 again presses the soup supply tube 105 to block the soup supply.

At this time, the soup remaining in the soup supply tube 105 located inside the soup supply tube 105 located between the soup control valve 200 and the pressure lid 20 may remain.

Next, the hot water heated in the auxiliary tank 320 is injected into the pressure vessel 10 through the hot water supply tube 330 while the hot water supply valve 400 is opened. At the same time, the air supply valve 630 is also opened so that compressed air is injected into the auxiliary tank 320 and compressed air is injected into the pressure vessel 10 through the hot water supply tube 330 together with hot water. do.

At this time, as described above, hot water and compressed air may be injected into the pressure vessel 10 while rinsing the soup residue remaining in the soup supply tube 105.

When both soup and hot water and compressed air are supplied to the sealed pressure vessel 10, the pressure vessel 10 is heated to cook the ramen at a high pressure for a predetermined time, and when the cooking is completed, the pressure lid 20 is opened. After the ramen is distributed to the ramen container, it is discharged to the orderer and the order is completed.
