　従来、例えばカップ式自動販売機や飲料ディスペンサ等の飲料供給装置においては、装置本体の内部に設けられた撹拌容器に投入された粉末原料と湯とを撹拌させて飲料を調理し、装置本体の前面に構成された飲料供給部に載置されたカップ等の容器に対し、撹拌容器で調理した飲料を供給するものである（例えば、特許文献１参照）。 Conventionally, for example, in a beverage supply device such as a cup-type vending machine or a beverage dispenser, a beverage is cooked by stirring the powdered raw material and hot water put into a stirring container provided inside the device body, The beverage cooked in the stirring container is supplied to a container such as a cup placed on the beverage supply unit configured on the front surface (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
特開２０１７－１４８３２６号公報JP, 2017-148326, A
　ところで、特許文献１には明示されていないが、装置本体の内部には、撹拌容器で飲料の調理の際に生じた蒸気を外部に排出するための排気ファンが設けられているのが一般的である。この排気ファンは、撹拌容器と吸引路を通じて連通するファンボックスに内蔵されている。 By the way, although not explicitly disclosed in Patent Document 1, an exhaust fan is generally provided inside the main body of the apparatus for discharging the steam generated when the beverage is cooked in the stirring container to the outside. Is. The exhaust fan is built in a fan box that communicates with the stirring container through the suction passage.
　そのような飲料供給装置では、排気ファンの作用により、撹拌容器で生じた蒸気が吸引路を通じてファンボックスまで吸引され、吸引された蒸気が該ファンボックスに設置されたファンフィルタを通過して外部に排出されることになる。 In such a beverage supply device, by the action of the exhaust fan, the steam generated in the stirring container is sucked to the fan box through the suction passage, and the sucked steam passes through the fan filter installed in the fan box to the outside. Will be discharged.
　しかしながら、排気ファンの作用により撹拌容器から吸引される蒸気には、粉末原料が微粉として含まれている。そのため、微粉として含まれる粉末原料が吸引路の壁面やファンフィルタに固着してしまい、結果的に、吸引路の壁面に固着した粉末原料の除去や、ファンフィルタの清掃等のメンテナンス作業を行う必要があり、作業者の負担が増大していた。 However, the powder material is contained as fine powder in the steam sucked from the stirring container by the action of the exhaust fan. Therefore, the powder material contained as fine powder adheres to the wall surface of the suction passage and the fan filter, and as a result, it is necessary to remove the powder material adhered to the wall surface of the suction passage and perform maintenance work such as cleaning the fan filter. However, the burden on the operator has increased.
　本発明は、上記実情に鑑みて、粉末原料の除去等のメンテナンス作業を低減させて作業者の負担を軽減させることができる飲料供給装置を提供することを目的とする。 In view of the above situation, it is an object of the present invention to provide a beverage supply device that can reduce maintenance work such as removal of powder raw materials and lighten the burden on workers.
　上記目的を達成するために、本発明に係る飲料供給装置は、投入された粉末原料と湯とを撹拌して飲料を調理する撹拌容器を装置本体の内部に備え、前記装置本体の前面に構成された飲料供給部に載置された容器に対し、前記撹拌容器で調理された飲料を供給する飲料供給装置であって、前記撹拌容器と吸引路を通じて連通する態様で前記装置本体の内部に配設され、かつ内蔵する排気ファンの作用により該撹拌容器で生じた蒸気を吸引するファンボックスを備え、前記吸引路を構成する吸引路構成部材は、該吸引路を閉塞する態様で設置され、かつ複数の貫通孔が形成されたメッシュ材を備えたことを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above object, the beverage supply device according to the present invention is provided with a stirring container for stirring a powdered raw material and hot water that have been put therein to prepare a beverage inside the device body, and is provided on the front surface of the device body. A beverage supply device for supplying a beverage cooked in the stirring container to a container placed in the beverage supply unit, which is disposed inside the device main body in a manner of communicating with the stirring container through a suction path. A fan box for sucking vapor generated in the stirring container by the action of an exhaust fan installed therein, and the suction passage constituting member constituting the suction passage is installed in a manner to close the suction passage, and It is characterized by including a mesh material in which a plurality of through holes are formed.
　また本発明は、上記飲料供給装置において、前記撹拌容器は、前記装置本体の内部に複数設けられており、前記吸引路構成部材は、前記撹拌容器のそれぞれの排気口に連通して設置され、かつ各撹拌容器からの蒸気を合流させる合流部を備え、前記メッシュ材は、前記合流部に着脱可能に設置されたことを特徴とする。 Further, the present invention, in the beverage supply device, the stirring container is provided in plurality inside the device body, the suction path constituent member is installed in communication with each exhaust port of the stirring container, In addition, it is characterized in that the mesh material is provided with a merging portion for merging vapors from the respective stirring containers, and the mesh material is detachably installed in the merging portion.
　また本発明は、上記飲料供給装置において、前記メッシュ材は、金属製材料から構成されたことを特徴とする。 In addition, the present invention is characterized in that, in the beverage supply device, the mesh material is made of a metal material.
　本発明によれば、撹拌容器と吸引路を通じて連通する態様で装置本体の内部に配設され、かつ内蔵する排気ファンの作用により該撹拌容器で生じた蒸気を吸引するファンボックスを備え、複数の貫通孔が形成されたメッシュ材が、吸引路を構成する吸引路構成部材に、該吸引路を閉塞する態様で設置されているので、撹拌容器で生じた蒸気がメッシュ材に当接して一部が貫通孔を通過することになる。これにより、蒸気に微粉として含まれる粉末原料をメッシュ材の貫通孔以外の部分に付着させることができ、該貫通孔を追加した蒸気に含まれる粉末原料の割合を低減させることができるとともに、該蒸気の湿度も低下させることができる。よって、メッシュ材の下流側となる吸引路の壁面に付着する粉末原料の量を低減させるとともに、ファンボックスに装着されたファンフィルタに付着する粉末原料の量を低減させることができる。従って、粉末原料の除去等のメンテナンス作業を低減させて作業者の負担を軽減させることができるという効果を奏する。 According to the present invention, a plurality of fan boxes are provided inside the apparatus main body in a manner of communicating with the stirring container through the suction passage, and are provided with a fan box for sucking the vapor generated in the stirring container by the action of the exhaust fan incorporated therein. Since the mesh material in which the through holes are formed is installed in the suction path forming member that constitutes the suction path in a manner that closes the suction path, the steam generated in the stirring container abuts on the mesh material and partially. Will pass through the through hole. Thereby, the powder raw material contained as fine powder in the vapor can be attached to the portion other than the through holes of the mesh material, and the ratio of the powder raw material contained in the vapor with the addition of the through holes can be reduced, and The humidity of the steam can also be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the amount of the powder raw material attached to the wall surface of the suction passage on the downstream side of the mesh material and reduce the amount of the powder raw material attached to the fan filter attached to the fan box. Therefore, there is an effect that it is possible to reduce the burden on the operator by reducing the maintenance work such as the removal of the powder raw material.

After passing through the through hole 434a, the suction hose 43a is passed and sucked, and then the sucked steam is discharged to the outside from a discharge portion (not shown) formed in the lower rear surface of the main body cabinet 3. Although the fan box 40 is connected to the mixing bowls 22 through the suction passage forming member 43, the fan box 40 is connected to the beverage extraction unit 30 through another suction hose and is connected to the exhaust fan. The vapor generated in the beverage extraction unit 30 may be sucked by driving 41.
　前面扉４は、本体キャビネット３の前面開口３ａを開閉する扉体であり、本体キャビネット３の前方側の左側縁部において、軸支部４ａにより上下方向に沿って延在する軸部の中心軸回りに揺動可能に設けてある。 The front door 4 is a door body that opens and closes the front opening 3a of the main body cabinet 3, and at the left side edge portion on the front side of the main body cabinet 3, around the central axis of the shaft portion that extends along the up-down direction by the shaft support portion 4a. It is provided so that it can swing.

　ここで例示する抽出機構部３３は、シリンダ３３１と、フィルタブロック３３２、シリンダヘッド３３３及びスクレーパ３３４とを備えて構成してある。 The extraction mechanism unit 33 illustrated here is configured to include a cylinder 331, a filter block 332, a cylinder head 333, and a scraper 334.
　シリンダ３３１は、円筒状を成す抽出容器であり、シリンダ支持部材３３５により支持されて設けてある。フィルタブロック３３２は、シリンダ３３１の下方に配置してある。このフィルタブロック３３２は、複数の抽出孔３３６ａが形成された円板状の金属製のメッシュ部材３３６を備えている。かかるフィルタブロック３３２は、アクチュエータであるフィルタブロック駆動機構３４１が制御部５０から与えられる指令により駆動することで、シリンダ３３１に対し近接離反する態様で上下に移動するものである。そして、フィルタブロック３３２は、最も上方に移動した場合に、シリンダ３３１の下面開口３３１ａを閉塞するものである。 The cylinder 331 is a cylindrical extraction container, and is supported by a cylinder support member 335. The filter block 332 is arranged below the cylinder 331. The filter block 332 includes a disc-shaped metal mesh member 336 having a plurality of extraction holes 336a formed therein. The filter block 332 moves up and down in such a manner that the filter block driving mechanism 341, which is an actuator, is driven by a command given from the control unit 50 to move toward and away from the cylinder 331. The filter block 332 closes the lower surface opening 331a of the cylinder 331 when the filter block 332 moves to the uppermost position.
　またフィルタブロック３３２には、抽出経路３３７が接続してある。抽出経路３３７は、フィルタブロック３３２を通過した飲料をノズル１２に供給するための経路である。この抽出経路３３７には、抽出バルブ３３７ａが設けてある。抽出バルブ３３７ａは、制御部５０から与えられる指令に応じて開閉する弁体であり、開成する場合に抽出経路３３７を飲料等の流体が通過することを許容する一方、閉成する場合に抽出経路３３７を流体が通過することを規制するものである。 An extraction path 337 is connected to the filter block 332. The extraction path 337 is a path for supplying the beverage that has passed through the filter block 332 to the nozzle 12. The extraction path 337 is provided with an extraction valve 337a. The extraction valve 337a is a valve body that opens and closes according to a command given from the control unit 50, and allows fluid such as a beverage to pass through the extraction path 337 when it is opened, while it is opened when it is closed. It regulates the passage of fluid through 337.
　シリンダヘッド３３３は、シリンダ３３１の上方に配置してある。このシリンダヘッド３３３は、第１投入孔３３３ａ、第２投入孔３３３ｂ及びエア供給孔３３３ｃが形成してある。第１投入孔３３３ａは、ミル３２で粉砕された抽出原料を通過させるもので、シリンダ３３１に粉砕後抽出原料を投入させるためのものである。第２投入孔３３３ｂは、湯タンクからの湯を通過させるもので、シリンダ３３１に湯を投入させるためのものである。エア供給孔３３３ｃは、エア供給経路３３８より供給された加圧空気を通過させるもので、シリンダ３３１に加圧空気を供給させるためのものである。 The cylinder head 333 is arranged above the cylinder 331. The cylinder head 333 has a first charging hole 333a, a second charging hole 333b and an air supply hole 333c. The first charging hole 333a allows the extraction raw material crushed by the mill 32 to pass therethrough, and is used for inputting the extraction raw material after crushing to the cylinder 331. The second pouring hole 333b is for passing the hot water from the hot water tank and is for letting the hot water into the cylinder 331. The air supply hole 333c allows the pressurized air supplied from the air supply path 338 to pass therethrough, and serves to supply the compressed air to the cylinder 331.
　そのようなシリンダヘッド３３３は、アクチュエータであるシリンダヘッド駆動機構３４２が制御部５０から与えられる指令により駆動することで、シリンダ３３１に対し近接離反する態様で前後に移動するものである。より詳細に説明すると、シリンダヘッド３３３は、図１１及び図１２に示すように、最も後方に配置される場合には、シリンダ３３１から最も離隔しており、シリンダ３３１の上面開口３３１ｂの上方には、第１投入孔３３３ａ及び第２投入孔３３３ｂが位置している。そして、詳細は後述するが、最も前方に配置される場合には、シリンダ３３１に最も近接しており、該シリンダ３３１の上面開口３３１ｂを閉塞している。この場合、上面開口３３１ｂには、第２投入孔３３３ｂ及びエア供給孔３３３ｃが臨んでいる。 Such a cylinder head 333 moves back and forth in a manner of moving toward and away from the cylinder 331 by being driven by a cylinder head drive mechanism 342 which is an actuator according to a command given from the control unit 50. More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the cylinder head 333 is most distant from the cylinder 331 when it is arranged at the rearmost position, and is located above the upper surface opening 331b of the cylinder 331. , The first charging hole 333a and the second charging hole 333b are located. Further, as will be described later in detail, when it is arranged at the frontmost position, it is closest to the cylinder 331 and closes the upper surface opening 331b of the cylinder 331. In this case, the second charging hole 333b and the air supply hole 333c face the upper surface opening 331b.
　スクレーパ３３４は、スクレーパ本体３３４ａとスクレーパ作用部３３４ｂとを備えて構成してある。スクレーパ本体３３４ａは、矩形枠状に形成されており、上下に貫通する矩形状の通過孔３３４ｃが形成してある。この通過孔３３４ｃは、上記フィルタブロック３３２の通過を許容する大きさを有している。スクレーパ作用部３３４ｂは、例えばゴム等の樹脂材料から構成してあり、スクレーパ本体３３４ａの前端部より下方に突出する態様で設けてある。 The scraper 334 includes a scraper main body 334a and a scraper operating portion 334b. The scraper body 334a is formed in a rectangular frame shape, and has a rectangular through hole 334c penetrating vertically. The passage hole 334c has a size that allows passage of the filter block 332. The scraper working portion 334b is made of, for example, a resin material such as rubber, and is provided so as to project downward from the front end portion of the scraper body 334a.
　そのようなスクレーパ３３４は、アクチュエータであるスクレーパ駆動機構３４３が制御部５０から与えられる指令により駆動することで、前後方向に沿って移動するものである。より詳細には、スクレーパ３３４は、スクレーパ作用部３３４ｂがフィルタブロック３３２よりも後方となる後端位置（第１位置）と、スクレーパ作用部３３４ｂがフィルタブロック３３２よりも前方となる前端位置（第２位置）との間で、前後方向に沿って移動可能に設置してある。そして、スクレーパ３３４は、後端位置と前端位置との一方から他方へ移動することにより、最も下方に移動したフィルタブロック３３２のメッシュ部材３３６の上面をスクレーパ作用部３３４ｂの先端が摺接することが可能であり、メッシュ部材３３６に載置された抽出滓Ｋを除去するものである。 Such a scraper 334 moves along the front-rear direction when the scraper drive mechanism 343 which is an actuator is driven by a command given from the control unit 50. More specifically, the scraper 334 has a rear end position (first position) where the scraper action part 334b is behind the filter block 332 and a front end position (second position) where the scraper action part 334b is in front of the filter block 332. It is installed so that it can move in the front-back direction. By moving the scraper 334 from one of the rear end position and the front end position to the other, the tip of the scraper action portion 334b can be brought into sliding contact with the upper surface of the mesh member 336 of the filter block 332 that has moved to the lowest position. That is, the extraction residue K placed on the mesh member 336 is removed.
　上記スクレーパ３３４の位置（後端位置及び前端位置）を検知するための後端検知センサ３４４及び前端検知センサ３４５が設けてある。後端検知センサ３４４は、スクレーパ３３４が後端位置に配置されたか否かを検知するもので、スクレーパ３３４が後端位置に配置されたことを検知した場合に、検知信号を制御部５０に与えるものである。前端検知センサ３４５は、スクレーパ３３４が前端位置に配置されたか否かを検知するもので、スクレーパ３３４が前端位置に配置されたことを検知した場合に、検知信号を制御部５０に与えるものである。 A rear end detection sensor 344 and a front end detection sensor 345 for detecting the position of the scraper 334 (rear end position and front end position) are provided. The rear end detection sensor 344 detects whether or not the scraper 334 is arranged at the rear end position. When the rear end detection sensor 344 detects that the scraper 334 is arranged at the rear end position, a detection signal is given to the control unit 50. It is a thing. The front end detection sensor 345 detects whether or not the scraper 334 is arranged at the front end position, and gives a detection signal to the control unit 50 when detecting that the scraper 334 is arranged at the front end position. ..
　このように後端検知センサ３４４及び前端検知センサ３４５を備えているので、スクレーパ３３４の移動の開始位置は、飲料の抽出毎に後端位置と前端位置とのいずれかに設定可能である。本実施の形態では、開始位置は、飲料の抽出毎に後端位置と前端位置との交互に設定されているものとする。 Since the rear end detection sensor 344 and the front end detection sensor 345 are provided in this way, the start position of the movement of the scraper 334 can be set to either the rear end position or the front end position for each beverage extraction. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the start position is alternately set to the rear end position and the front end position for each beverage extraction.
　尚、上述した抽出機構部３３においては、フィルタブロック駆動機構３４１、シリンダヘッド駆動機構３４２及びスクレーパ駆動機構３４３が個別に設けられているものとして説明したが、本発明においては、フィルタブロック駆動機構３４１、シリンダヘッド駆動機構３４２及びスクレーパ駆動機構３４３は、必ずしも個別に設けられている必要はなく、連係ギア等を介在させることによりいずれかが共通化されていても構わない。 In the above-mentioned extraction mechanism section 33, the filter block drive mechanism 341, the cylinder head drive mechanism 342, and the scraper drive mechanism 343 are described as being individually provided, but in the present invention, the filter block drive mechanism 341 is provided. The cylinder head drive mechanism 342 and the scraper drive mechanism 343 do not necessarily have to be individually provided, and either one may be shared by interposing a linkage gear or the like.
　次に、上記抽出機構部３３（飲料抽出部３０）による飲料の抽出動作について説明する。前提として、フィルタブロック３３２は最も下方に移動しており、シリンダヘッド３３３は、最も後方に配置され、スクレーパ３３４が後端位置に配置されているものとする。 Next, a beverage extraction operation by the extraction mechanism unit 33 (beverage extraction unit 30) will be described. As a premise, it is assumed that the filter block 332 has moved to the lowermost position, the cylinder head 333 has been arranged at the rearmost position, and the scraper 334 has been arranged at the rear end position.
　飲料供給部１０のステージ１１に容器Ｃが載置されて表示部６１がタッチ操作されることにより、制御部５０は、フィルタブロック駆動機構３４１に駆動指令を与えて該フィルタブロック駆動機構３４１を駆動させ、図１３に示すように、フィルタブロック３３２を上方に移動させてシリンダ３３１の下面開口３３１ａを閉塞させる。その後、制御部５０は、第１投入孔３３３ａを通じて粉砕後抽出原料をシリンダ３３１の内部に投入させるとともに、第２投入孔３３３ｂを通じて湯をシリンダ３３１の内部に投入させる。 When the container C is placed on the stage 11 of the beverage supply unit 10 and the display unit 61 is touch-operated, the control unit 50 gives a drive command to the filter block drive mechanism 341 to drive the filter block drive mechanism 341. Then, as shown in FIG. 13, the filter block 332 is moved upward to close the lower surface opening 331a of the cylinder 331. Then, the control unit 50 causes the crushed extraction raw material to be introduced into the cylinder 331 through the first introduction hole 333a, and causes the hot water to be introduced into the cylinder 331 through the second introduction hole 333b.
　制御部５０は、シリンダ３３１の内部に粉砕後抽出原料及び湯が投入されたら、フィルタブロック３３２に接続された図示せぬ撹拌エア供給経路よりシリンダ３３１の内部に撹拌エアを所定時間供給し、粉砕後抽出原料と湯とを撹拌させる。 When the extracted raw material and hot water are put into the cylinder 331, the control unit 50 supplies the stirring air into the cylinder 331 for a predetermined time from the stirring air supply path (not shown) connected to the filter block 332. The post-extraction raw material and hot water are agitated.
　撹拌エアの供給終了後、制御部５０は、シリンダヘッド駆動機構３４２を駆動させてシリンダヘッド３３３を前方に移動させ、図１４に示すように、最も前方に配置させることでシリンダ３３１の上面開口３３１ｂを閉塞する。そして、制御部５０は、エア供給孔３３３ｃを通じてシリンダ３３１に加圧空気を供給するとともに抽出バルブ３３７ａを開成させて、飲料を抽出し、抽出経路３３７を通じて飲料をノズル１２に送出する。これにより、ノズル１２から飲料が吐出されて容器Ｃに供給される。 After the end of the supply of the stirring air, the control unit 50 drives the cylinder head drive mechanism 342 to move the cylinder head 333 forward, and as shown in FIG. To block. Then, the control unit 50 supplies pressurized air to the cylinder 331 through the air supply hole 333c and opens the brewing valve 337a to brew the beverage, and sends the beverage to the nozzle 12 through the brewing path 337. As a result, the beverage is discharged from the nozzle 12 and supplied to the container C.
　飲料の抽出後、制御部５０は、抽出バルブ３３７ａを閉成させてからフィルタブロック駆動機構３４１を駆動させてフィルタブロック３３２を下方に移動させつつ、シリンダヘッド駆動機構３４２を駆動させてシリンダヘッド３３３を後方に移動させる。これにより飲料の抽出により生じた抽出滓Ｋがフィルタブロック３３２のメッシュ部材３３６の上面に載置される。 After extracting the beverage, the control unit 50 closes the extraction valve 337a and then drives the filter block drive mechanism 341 to move the filter block 332 downward, while driving the cylinder head drive mechanism 342 to drive the cylinder head 333. To move backwards. As a result, the extraction slag K generated by the extraction of the beverage is placed on the upper surface of the mesh member 336 of the filter block 332.
　フィルタブロック３３２が最も下方に移動した後、制御部５０は、図１５に示すように、スクレーパ駆動機構３４３を駆動させてスクレーパ３３４を後端位置から前端位置に移動させる。これにより、スクレーパ作用部３３４ｂがメッシュ部材３３６の上面に摺接することで、該メッシュ部材３３６の上面に載置された抽出滓Ｋを掻き取り、図１６に示すように、収容箱５５に放出することができる。 After the filter block 332 moves to the lowest position, the control unit 50 drives the scraper drive mechanism 343 to move the scraper 334 from the rear end position to the front end position, as shown in FIG. As a result, the scraper action portion 334b is brought into sliding contact with the upper surface of the mesh member 336 to scrape off the extraction slag K placed on the upper surface of the mesh member 336 and discharge it into the storage box 55 as shown in FIG. be able to.
　そして、前端検知センサ３４５がスクレーパ３３４が前端位置に配置されたことを検知した場合に、制御部５０は、スクレーパ駆動機構３４３を駆動停止にさせてスクレーパ３３４を前端位置に配置させる。 Then, when the front end detection sensor 345 detects that the scraper 334 is arranged at the front end position, the control unit 50 causes the scraper drive mechanism 343 to stop driving and disposes the scraper 334 at the front end position.
　その後、飲料供給部１０のステージ１１に別の容器Ｃが載置されて表示部６１がタッチ操作されることにより、制御部５０は、フィルタブロック駆動機構３４１に駆動指令を与えて該フィルタブロック駆動機構３４１を駆動させ、図１７に示すように、フィルタブロック３３２を上方に移動させてシリンダ３３１の下面開口３３１ａを閉塞させる。その後、制御部５０は、第１投入孔３３３ａを通じて粉砕後抽出原料をシリンダ３３１の内部に投入させるとともに、第２投入孔３３３ｂを通じて湯をシリンダ３３１の内部に投入させる。 After that, another container C is placed on the stage 11 of the beverage supply unit 10 and the display unit 61 is touch-operated, so that the control unit 50 gives a drive command to the filter block drive mechanism 341 to drive the filter block. The mechanism 341 is driven to move the filter block 332 upward to close the lower surface opening 331a of the cylinder 331 as shown in FIG. Then, the control unit 50 causes the crushed extraction raw material to be introduced into the cylinder 331 through the first introduction hole 333a, and causes the hot water to be introduced into the cylinder 331 through the second introduction hole 333b.
　制御部５０は、シリンダ３３１の内部に粉砕後抽出原料及び湯が投入されたら、撹拌エア供給経路よりシリンダ３３１の内部に撹拌エアを所定時間供給し、粉砕後抽出原料と湯とを撹拌させる。 When the extracted raw material and hot water after being crushed are put into the cylinder 331, the control unit 50 supplies the stirring air to the inside of the cylinder 331 through the stirring air supply path for a predetermined time to stir the pulverized extracted raw material and hot water.
　撹拌エアの供給終了後、制御部５０は、シリンダヘッド駆動機構３４２を駆動させてシリンダヘッド３３３を前方に移動させ、図１８に示すように、最も前方に配置させることでシリンダ３３１の上面開口３３１ｂを閉塞する。そして、制御部５０は、エア供給孔３３３ｃを通じてシリンダ３３１に加圧空気を供給するとともに抽出バルブ３３７ａを開成させて、飲料を抽出し、抽出経路３３７を通じて飲料をノズル１２に送出する。これにより、ノズル１２から飲料が吐出されて容器Ｃに供給される。 After the supply of the stirring air is completed, the control unit 50 drives the cylinder head driving mechanism 342 to move the cylinder head 333 forward, and as shown in FIG. 18, by arranging the cylinder head 333 at the frontmost position, the upper surface opening 331b of the cylinder 331 is opened. To block. Then, the control unit 50 supplies pressurized air to the cylinder 331 through the air supply hole 333c and opens the brewing valve 337a to brew the beverage, and sends the beverage to the nozzle 12 through the brewing path 337. As a result, the beverage is discharged from the nozzle 12 and supplied to the container C.
　飲料の抽出後、制御部５０は、抽出バルブ３３７ａを閉成させてからフィルタブロック駆動機構３４１を駆動させてフィルタブロック３３２を下方に移動させつつ、シリンダヘッド駆動機構３４２を駆動させてシリンダヘッド３３３を後方に移動させる。これにより飲料の抽出により生じた抽出滓Ｋがフィルタブロック３３２のメッシュ部材３３６の上面に載置される。 After extracting the beverage, the control unit 50 closes the extraction valve 337a and then drives the filter block drive mechanism 341 to move the filter block 332 downward, while driving the cylinder head drive mechanism 342 to drive the cylinder head 333. To move backwards. As a result, the extraction slag K generated by the extraction of the beverage is placed on the upper surface of the mesh member 336 of the filter block 332.
　フィルタブロック３３２が最も下方に移動した後、制御部５０は、図１９に示すように、スクレーパ駆動機構３４３を駆動させてスクレーパ３３４を前端位置から後端位置に移動させる。これにより、スクレーパ作用部３３４ｂがメッシュ部材３３６の上面に摺接することで、該メッシュ部材３３６の上面に載置された抽出滓Ｋを掻き取り、図２０に示すように、収容箱５５に放出することができる。 After the filter block 332 moves to the lowest position, the control unit 50 drives the scraper drive mechanism 343 to move the scraper 334 from the front end position to the rear end position, as shown in FIG. As a result, the scraper action portion 334b is brought into sliding contact with the upper surface of the mesh member 336 to scrape off the extraction slag K placed on the upper surface of the mesh member 336 and discharge it into the storage box 55 as shown in FIG. be able to.
　そして、後端検知センサ３４４がスクレーパ３３４が後端位置に配置されたことを検知した場合に、制御部５０は、スクレーパ駆動機構３４３を駆動停止にさせてスクレーパ３３４を後端位置に配置させる。 Then, when the rear end detection sensor 344 detects that the scraper 334 is arranged at the rear end position, the control unit 50 causes the scraper drive mechanism 343 to stop driving and disposes the scraper 334 at the rear end position.
　次に、所定のタイミング（飲料の抽出回数が所定回数に達したタイミングや、所定時間毎のタイミング）で、湯を洗浄湯として抽出機構部３３のシリンダ３３１等を洗浄するリンス処理について説明する。 Next, a rinsing process for cleaning the cylinder 331 and the like of the extraction mechanism unit 33 with hot water as wash water at a predetermined timing (a timing at which the number of times the beverage is extracted reaches a predetermined number or a timing every predetermined time) will be described.
　制御部５０は、フィルタブロック駆動機構３４１に駆動指令を与えて該フィルタブロック駆動機構３４１を駆動させ、フィルタブロック３３２を上方に移動させてシリンダ３３１の下面開口３３１ａを閉塞させる。その後、制御部５０は、シリンダヘッド駆動機構３４２に駆動指令を与えてシリンダヘッド３３３を前方に移動させ、図２１に示すように、第２投入孔３３３ｂ及びエア供給孔３３３ｃが上面開口３３１ｂの上方に位置するよう、シリンダヘッド３３３を上面開口３３１ｂから僅かに離隔した位置に配置させる。 The control unit 50 gives a drive command to the filter block drive mechanism 341 to drive the filter block drive mechanism 341, and moves the filter block 332 upward to close the lower surface opening 331a of the cylinder 331. After that, the control unit 50 gives a drive command to the cylinder head drive mechanism 342 to move the cylinder head 333 forward, and as shown in FIG. 21, the second charging hole 333b and the air supply hole 333c are located above the upper surface opening 331b. The cylinder head 333 is arranged at a position slightly separated from the upper surface opening 331b so as to be located at.
　そして、制御部５０は、第２投入孔３３３ｂを通じて湯を洗浄湯としてシリンダ３３１の内部に投入させる。制御部５０は、第２投入孔３３３ｂより投入する洗浄湯を、図２２に示すように上面開口３３１ｂから溢れさせる。 Then, the control unit 50 causes hot water to be poured into the inside of the cylinder 331 as cleaning hot water through the second charging hole 333b. The control unit 50 causes the hot water to be poured from the second charging hole 333b to overflow from the upper surface opening 331b as shown in FIG.
　その後、制御部５０は、洗浄湯の投入を停止させて、抽出バルブ３３７ａを開成させて、抽出経路３３７に洗浄湯を通過させる。制御部５０は、シリンダ３３１の内部の洗浄湯の水位がシリンダ３３１の上下方向の中間レベルに達した場合に、すなわちシリンダ３３１の内部の洗浄湯残量が半分以下となった場合に、抽出バルブ３３７ａを閉成させて、図２３に示すように、フィルタブロック駆動機構３４１に駆動指令を与えて該フィルタブロック駆動機構３４１を駆動させ、フィルタブロック３３２を下方に移動させてリンス処理を終了する。 After that, the control unit 50 stops the injection of the wash water, opens the extraction valve 337a, and causes the wash water to pass through the extraction path 337. The control unit 50 controls the extraction valve when the level of the wash water inside the cylinder 331 reaches an intermediate level in the vertical direction of the cylinder 331, that is, when the remaining amount of wash water inside the cylinder 331 becomes half or less. As shown in FIG. 23, the filter block drive mechanism 341 is driven by driving the filter block drive mechanism 341, and the filter block 332 is moved downward to end the rinse process.
　ところで、上述したように飲料の抽出による飲料の供給回数が予め決められた回数行われると、飲料供給装置１は、収容箱５５が抽出滓Ｋで満杯になったものと判断して、表示部６１に表示、あるいはブザー音等により店舗の従業員に報知する。これにより、従業員等の作業者は、前面扉４を開く方向に揺動させて前面開口３ａを開成させ、収容箱５５の抽出滓Ｋの廃棄作業を行う。この場合に、制御部５０は、次のような収容箱取出処理を実施する。 By the way, when the number of times of supplying the beverage by extracting the beverage is performed a predetermined number of times as described above, the beverage supply device 1 determines that the storage box 55 is full of the extraction slag K, and the display unit It is displayed on 61, or the employee of the store is notified by a buzzer sound or the like. As a result, a worker such as an employee swings the front door 4 in the opening direction to open the front opening 3a, and performs the discarding work of the slag K of the storage box 55. In this case, the control unit 50 carries out the following storage box extraction processing.
　図２４は、図４に示した制御部５０が実施する収容箱取出処理の処理内容を示すフローチャートである。 FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the accommodation box extraction processing executed by the control unit 50 shown in FIG.
　この収容箱取出処理において制御部５０は、収容箱センサ５６が収容箱５５の無し検知をしたか否か、すなわち収容箱５５の無し検知が有るか否かを判断する（ステップＳ１０１）。収容箱５５の無し検知が有る場合（ステップＳ１０１：Ｙｅｓ）、すなわち収容箱５５が少なくとも底面の半分以上が前方に引き出された場合、制御部５０は、内蔵する時間計測部により予め設定された設定時間（例えば５～１０分間）の計測を開始し（ステップＳ１０２）、設定時間の経過待ちとなる（ステップＳ１０３）。一方、収容箱５５の無し検知が無い場合（ステップＳ１０１：Ｎｏ）、制御部５０は、ステップＳ１０１の処理を繰り返す。 In the storage box take-out process, the control unit 50 determines whether the storage box sensor 56 detects the absence of the storage box 55, that is, the presence of the storage box 55 is detected (step S101). When there is the detection of the absence of the storage box 55 (step S101: Yes), that is, when at least half of the bottom surface of the storage box 55 is pulled out to the front, the control unit 50 sets the preset time by the built-in time measurement unit. The measurement of time (for example, 5 to 10 minutes) is started (step S102), and the process waits for the set time to elapse (step S103). On the other hand, when there is no detection of the storage box 55 (step S101: No), the control unit 50 repeats the process of step S101.
　設定時間が経過した場合（ステップＳ１０３：Ｙｅｓ）、制御部５０は、設定時間の計測を終了して（ステップＳ１０４）、収容箱５５の満杯検知のリセット操作を有効化させ（ステップＳ１０５）、その後に手順をリターンさせて今回の処理を終了する。 When the set time has elapsed (step S103: Yes), the control unit 50 ends the measurement of the set time (step S104), validates the reset operation for full detection of the container 55 (step S105), and then The procedure is returned to and the processing of this time is ended.
　ここで収容箱５５の満杯検知のリセット操作としては、表示部６１に対するタッチ操作や、装置本体２に設けられたリセットボタンの押下操作等が挙げられ、リセット操作の有効化としては、リセット操作により飲料の抽出による供給回数を零にすることである。 Here, examples of the reset operation for detecting the fullness of the storage box 55 include a touch operation on the display portion 61 and an operation of pressing a reset button provided on the apparatus main body 2, and the reset operation is validated by the reset operation. This is to reduce the number of times the beverage is supplied by extraction.
　以上説明したように、本発明の飲料供給装置１や飲料抽出部３０では、次のような作用効果を奏する。 As described above, the beverage supply device 1 and the beverage extraction unit 30 of the present invention have the following operational effects.
　上記飲料供給装置１においては、吸引路構成部材４３を構成する合流ダクト４３ｂに、各ミキシングボウル２２とファンボックス４０とを連通する吸引路を閉塞する態様で複数の貫通孔４３４ａが形成されたメッシュ材４３４を設置したので、排気ファン４１の駆動により、各ミキシングボウル２２で生じた蒸気がメッシュ材４３４に当接して一部が貫通孔４３４ａを通過することになる。これにより、蒸気に微粉として含まれる粉末原料をメッシュ材４３４の貫通孔４３４ａ以外の部分に付着させることができ、該貫通孔４３４ａを追加した蒸気に含まれる粉末原料の割合を低減させることができるとともに、該蒸気の湿度も低下させることができる。よって、メッシュ材４３４の下流側となる吸引ホース４３ａの吸引路の壁面に付着する粉末原料の量を低減させるとともに、ファンフィルタ４２に付着する粉末原料の量を低減させることができる。 In the beverage supply device 1, a mesh in which a plurality of through holes 434a are formed in the merging duct 43b that forms the suction passage forming member 43 so as to close the suction passage that connects the mixing bowl 22 and the fan box 40 to each other. Since the material 434 is installed, the steam generated in each mixing bowl 22 is brought into contact with the mesh material 434 by the driving of the exhaust fan 41, and a part of the vapor passes through the through hole 434a. As a result, the powder raw material contained as fine powder in the vapor can be attached to the portion of the mesh material 434 other than the through hole 434a, and the ratio of the powder raw material contained in the vapor added with the through hole 434a can be reduced. At the same time, the humidity of the steam can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the amount of the powder raw material attached to the wall surface of the suction passage of the suction hose 43a on the downstream side of the mesh material 434 and reduce the amount of the powder raw material attached to the fan filter 42.
　従って、本実施の形態である飲料供給装置１によれば、粉末原料の除去等のメンテナンス作業を低減させて作業者の負担を軽減させることができる。 Therefore, according to the beverage supply device 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to reduce the maintenance work such as the removal of the powder raw material and the burden on the operator.
　しかも、メッシュ材４３４が合流ダクト４３ｂに対して着脱可能に設置してあるので、容易にメッシュ材４３４の清掃等の作業を行うことができる。特に、メッシュ材４３４が金属製材料から構成されているので、高温の蒸気等に接触しても変形等する虞れがない。 Moreover, since the mesh material 434 is detachably installed in the confluence duct 43b, it is possible to easily perform the work such as cleaning the mesh material 434. In particular, since the mesh material 434 is made of a metal material, there is no fear of deformation even if it comes into contact with high temperature steam or the like.
　またメッシュ材４３４に形成された貫通孔４３４ａの径の大きさや間隔等は、各ミキシングボウル２２で生じた蒸気を均一に吸引できるように調整されているので、排気ファン４１の駆動により、各ミキシングボウル２２で発生した蒸気を偏りなく均一に排出することができる。 Further, since the diameter and interval of the through holes 434a formed in the mesh material 434 are adjusted so that the steam generated in each mixing bowl 22 can be sucked uniformly, each exhaust fan 41 is driven to perform each mixing. The steam generated in the bowl 22 can be discharged evenly and evenly.
　また、上記飲料供給装置１においては、収容箱５５の有無を検知する収容箱センサ５６が本体キャビネット３の前面開口３ａの近傍に設置してあるので、収容箱５５が前面開口３ａから前方に十分に引き出されないと収容箱５５の無し検知がされない。 Further, in the beverage supply device 1, since the storage box sensor 56 for detecting the presence or absence of the storage box 55 is installed in the vicinity of the front opening 3a of the main body cabinet 3, the storage box 55 is sufficiently forward from the front opening 3a. If it is not pulled out, the absence of the containing box 55 is not detected.
　従って、本実施の形態である飲料供給装置１によれば、抽出滓Ｋの廃棄作業を確実に行わせることができる。 Therefore, according to the beverage supply device 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to reliably perform the work of discarding the slag K.
　更に、制御部５０が、収容箱センサ５６による収容箱５５の無し検知が予め設定された設定時間継続して行われた場合に、収容箱５５の満杯検知のリセット操作を有効化させるので、抽出滓Ｋの廃棄作業をより確実に行わせることができる。 Further, the control unit 50 enables the reset operation for the full detection of the storage box 55 when the storage box sensor 56 detects the absence of the storage box 55 continuously for a preset time, so that the extraction is performed. It is possible to more reliably perform the disposal work of the slag K.
　上記飲料抽出部３０においては、スクレーパ３３４の移動の開始位置が飲料の抽出毎に後端位置と前端位置とのいずれかに設定されるので、収容箱５５の形状等に応じて開始位置をフレキシブルに設定することができ、収容箱５５に抽出滓Ｋが偏って収容される虞れがない。 In the beverage extraction unit 30, since the start position of the movement of the scraper 334 is set to either the rear end position or the front end position for each extraction of the beverage, the start position is flexible according to the shape of the storage box 55 and the like. Therefore, there is no possibility that the extraction slag K is unevenly stored in the storage box 55.
　従って、本実施の形態である飲料抽出部（飲料抽出装置）３０によれば、収容箱５５に抽出滓Ｋを偏りなく堆積させて、抽出滓Ｋの廃棄作業の低減化を図ることができる。 Therefore, according to the beverage extraction unit (beverage extraction device) 30 of the present embodiment, the extraction slag K can be evenly accumulated in the storage box 55 to reduce the disposal work of the extraction slag K.
　上記飲料抽出部３０においては、制御部５０が、シリンダ３３１を洗浄するリンス処理を行う場合に、フィルタブロック３３２を上方に移動させて該フィルタブロック３３２で下面開口３３１ａを閉塞させてから該シリンダ３３１に湯を洗浄湯として投入して上面開口３３１ｂから溢れさせ、その後にメッシュ部材３３６を通じてシリンダ３３１の内部の洗浄湯の一部を吸引し、更にフィルタブロック３３２をシリンダ３３１から離隔させるので、シリンダ３３１の上面開口３３１ｂ近傍の内表面だけでなく、外表面も洗浄湯で洗浄することができ、しかもシリンダ３３１に貯留された洗浄湯でフィルタブロック３３２のメッシュ部材３３６の周縁部も洗浄することができる。 In the beverage extraction unit 30, when the control unit 50 performs a rinse process for cleaning the cylinder 331, the filter block 332 is moved upward so that the filter block 332 closes the lower surface opening 331a and then the cylinder 331. Is poured into the upper surface opening 331b as a cleaning water, and then a part of the cleaning water inside the cylinder 331 is sucked through the mesh member 336 to further separate the filter block 332 from the cylinder 331. Not only the inner surface in the vicinity of the upper surface opening 331b but also the outer surface can be washed with the hot water, and the hot water stored in the cylinder 331 can also wash the peripheral portion of the mesh member 336 of the filter block 332. ..
　従って、本発明の実施の形態である飲料抽出部（飲料抽出装置）３０によれば、シリンダ３３１等を良好に洗浄することができる。 Therefore, according to the beverage extraction unit (beverage extraction device) 30 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the cylinder 331 and the like can be washed well.
　しかも、制御部５０は、リンス処理を行う際に、シリンダヘッド３３３を上面開口３３１ｂから離隔させて該上面開口３３１ｂから溢れた洗浄湯で該シリンダヘッド３３３を洗浄させるので、シリンダヘッド３３３も良好に洗浄することができる。 Moreover, since the control unit 50 separates the cylinder head 333 from the upper surface opening 331b and cleans the cylinder head 333 with the hot water overflowing from the upper surface opening 331b when performing the rinsing process, the cylinder head 333 is also favorably processed. Can be washed.
　以上、本発明の好適な実施の形態について説明したが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、種々の変更を行うことができる。 The preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, but the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made.
　上述した実施の形態では、メッシュ材４３４が合流ダクト４３ｂに設置してあるが、本発明においては、メッシュ材が吸引路を閉塞する態様で設置されていれば、その設置個所は特に限定されない。 In the above-described embodiment, the mesh material 434 is installed in the confluence duct 43b, but in the present invention, the installation location is not particularly limited as long as the mesh material is installed in a manner that blocks the suction passage.
　上述した実施の形態では、スクレーパ３３４の移動の開始位置が、飲料の抽出毎に後端位置と前端位置との交互に設定されていたが、本発明では次のように変更することができる。例えば、スクレーパの移動の開始位置を２回連続して後端位置とし、その後に前端位置としてもよい。つまり、抽出毎の開始位置を２回連続して後端位置として、抽出後に抽出滓を収容箱の前側に放出してから、次の抽出の開始位置を１度だけ前端位置として、抽出後に抽出滓を収容箱の後側に放出してもよい。このようなスクレーパの移動の開始位置は、収容箱の形状等に応じて設定してもよいし、抽出する飲料の種類に応じて予め割り付けたものを設定するようにしてもよい。 In the above-described embodiment, the start position of movement of the scraper 334 is alternately set to the rear end position and the front end position for each beverage extraction, but the present invention can be changed as follows. For example, the start position of the scraper movement may be set to the rear end position twice in succession and then to the front end position. In other words, the start position for each extraction is set as the rear end position twice consecutively, the extraction residue is discharged to the front side of the container after the extraction, and the start position of the next extraction is set as the front end position only once, and the extraction is performed after the extraction. The slag may be discharged to the rear side of the container. The start position of such scraper movement may be set according to the shape of the storage box or the like, or may be set in advance according to the type of beverage to be extracted.
