<First Embodiment>
Hereinafter, the beverage extraction device, the control method of the beverage extraction device, the control program of the beverage extraction device, and the storage medium according to the first embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10. Further, in this embodiment, the upper side is the upper side in the vertical direction, and the lower side is the lower side in the vertical direction.

(Structure of beverage extractor)
First, the configuration of the beverage extraction device 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing the configuration of the beverage extraction device 1 in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the beverage extraction device 1 is immersed in the bottle portion 10, the lid portion 20 capable of covering the bottle portion 10, the base portion 30 in which the bottle portion 10 is installed, and the bottle portion 10. Includes infuser 40.

Here, examples of the beverage that can be extracted by the beverage extraction device 1 include tea, coffee, and the like. Therefore, tea and coffee are the extracts. Of course, the extract is not limited to tea and coffee. Examples of the extract include medicinal herbs such as loquat leaves and Houttuynia cordata, herbs such as mint, chamomile and rosehip, and Chinese herbs such as chenpi, cinnamon and licorice. The solvent as the extraction destination is usually water (hot water, hot water), but is not particularly limited as long as it is a liquid that can be used as a beverage, and milk may be used. In this embodiment, the extract source is tea and the extraction destination is water.

The bottle portion 10 is a cylindrical bottle, and the upper surface is open as an opening. Water or hot water is supplied from the opening, and a liquid such as water is held inside. The size of the bottle portion 10 is arbitrary, and may be a small size for one person or a large size used at a table. In the case of a small size for one person, the bottle portion 10 serves as a teapot during tea extraction and is used as a tea cup (glass) after tea extraction. Therefore, the uppermost portion of the bottle portion is formed in a brim shape suitable for a drinking spout. A spout may be formed at the uppermost portion of the bottle portion.

The tea after extraction is usually at a high temperature, and it is possible to cover the upper surface side of the opening of the bottle portion 10 with the lid portion 20 for the purpose of keeping the temperature of the tea. The lid 20 does not need to be closed during tea extraction and may be used open for removal of components such as chlorine in water.

The inner bottom surface (lower side surface) of the bottle portion 10 has a vessel shape so that the infuser 40 can be fitted. This is to facilitate the infuser 40 to rotate in multiple directions. The curved shape of the bottom surface of the bottle portion 10 may be gentler than the curved shape of the outer shape of the infuser 40 (see FIG. 1). By making the curved shape of the bottom surface of the bottle portion 10 gentler than the curved shape of the outer shape of the infuser 40, a gap is formed between the bottom surface of the bottle portion 10 and the infuser 40, and the water in the bottle portion 10 and the infuser 40 are formed. It is possible to facilitate contact with the tea leaves inside and to facilitate convection of water. Alternatively, by making the curved shape of the bottom surface of the bottle portion 10 substantially the same as the curved shape of the outer shape of the infuser 40, it is possible to suppress the contact between the water in the bottle portion 10 and the tea leaves in the infuser 40.

The base unit 30 is a temperature sensor that detects the water temperature in the power supply unit 31, the base magnet 32 driven by the power supply unit 31, the heater 33 (heating unit) heated by the power supply unit, and the bottle unit 10 overheated by the heater 33. A 34, a control unit 35, a storage unit 36, a device sensor unit 400, and a communication unit 500 are provided in the base unit 30. The device sensor unit 400 and the communication unit 500 will be described later. Further, the bottle unit 10 includes a liquid quality adjusting unit 37. The liquid quality adjusting unit 37 holds calcium carbonate, a mineral component of magnesium carbonate, etc. for adjusting the hardness of water, and releases the mineral component according to the control of the control unit 35 described later to adjust the hardness of water.

The base portion 30 includes, for example, a holding mechanism 30a as shown in FIG. 8 that holds the bottle portion 10 so as not to tip over when it is installed. The holding mechanism 30a may be formed in a shape that allows the convex portion formed on the bottom surface of the bottle portion 10 to be fitted.

The power supply unit 31 appropriately transforms an alternating current from the outside and supplies it to the base magnet 32, the heater 33 control unit 35, and the like. The power supply unit 31 may be of a type provided from an external power source, or may be a battery in which electric power is stored in advance. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment that is a battery. Since the power supply unit 31 is a battery, it is possible to save the trouble of connecting the beverage extraction device to an external power source each time. If the beverage extractor incorporates a battery, the battery may be a primary battery or a secondary battery. Recently, it is possible to charge from an insertion port having a power supply function such as USB provided in a PC (personal computer) or the like, and a secondary battery is preferable. Further, as the secondary battery, a battery capable of wirelessly supplying power may be used.

The base magnet 32 is rotationally driven by a motor 55 (see FIG. 10) rotated by using the electric power supplied from the power supply unit 31, and is held in the base unit 30. The base magnet 32 may be a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. In this embodiment, the case of an electromagnet will be described. As the motor 55, a servomotor, a stepping motor, or the like is used because it is easy to start and stop the rotation amount and control the rotation amount.

The heater 33 generates heat by the electric power supplied from the power supply unit 31. Therefore, the heater 33 is brought close to the bottle portion 10 and heats the water in the bottle portion 10. Further, the heater 33 maintains the temperatures of hot water and hot water in the bottle portion 10.

The temperature sensor 34 (temperature detection unit) is a sensor for detecting the water temperature of the bottle unit 10, and may be indirectly detected via the temperature of the bottle unit 10, or directly detects the water temperature in the bottle unit 10. You may. The temperature sensor 34 can also detect an abnormal temperature rise (empty heating or the like) of the bottle portion 10, and the temperature sensor 34 can also function as a safety device.

The control unit 35 is driven by the power supply unit 31, and is a motor 55 and a heater 33 that rotationally drive the base magnet 32 or the base magnet 32 based on the information from the temperature sensor 34, the device sensor unit 400, and the input information from the user described later. To control. Here, the control unit 35 can perform control for simply rotating the base magnet 32 and controlling the magnetic poles of the base magnet 32 to invert the infuser 40 upside down. The control unit 35 includes one or more processors stored in the storage unit 36 and peripheral circuits thereof. The control unit 35 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The control unit 35 controls the base magnet 32 and the heater 33 by executing the program stored in the storage unit 36 in an appropriate procedure based on the input information from the user. The control unit 35 that controls the magnetic poles of the base magnet 32 corresponds to the control means. That is, the control unit 35 controls the magnetic poles of the base magnet 32 in order to allow or block the inflow and outflow of water from the inside of the infuser 40 and the inside of the bottle unit 10. In the present invention, "control" means a process of passing a current through the base magnet 32 or reversing the direction of the current. In addition, in the present invention, "control" refers to the execution of the driving mode of the motor 55 based on the analysis information analyzed from the external information described later.

Further, when the base magnet 32 is a permanent magnet, the control unit 35 controls to invert the magnetic pole of the base magnet 32 facing the infuser 40 by inverting the base magnet 32 itself. In the present embodiment, the control unit 35 controls the magnetic poles of the base magnet by executing an appropriate program, but the magnetic poles of the base magnet 32 may be controlled to be inverted by a mechanical mechanism.

In the present embodiment, the control unit 35 and the storage unit 36 are arranged inside the base unit 30, but the control unit 35 and the storage unit 36 may be arranged outside the base unit 30. For example, the application program in the user's terminal may control the beverage extraction device 1 as a control unit, and the processing signal generated by the application program in the server is transmitted to the beverage extraction device 1 via or directly to the user's terminal. This may control the beverage extraction device 1. Further, since the control unit 35 does not need to be integrated in one place, it may be divided into a plurality of places. For example, it may be partially present in the base portion 30 and partially present in the user's terminal. Here, the user's terminal is a terminal used by the user, and is, for example, a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet PC (Personal Computer), a notebook PC, a desktop PC, or the like.

The storage unit 36 includes, for example, at least one of a semiconductor memory, a magnetic disk device, and an optical disk device. The storage unit 36 stores operating system programs, driver programs, application programs, data, external information, analysis information, correspondence tables, object information, user extraction information, and the like used for processing in the control unit 35.

The device sensor unit 400 is various sensors that acquire external information (DA) of the beverage extraction device 1. External information (DA) includes temperature (° C.), humidity (relative humidity RH%), atmospheric pressure (atm, hPa), and illuminance (lux lx (amount of light, brightness)) at the place where the beverage extraction device 1 is installed. External information (DA) represented by (see FIG. 21) is detected. In the illustrated embodiment, of the device sensor unit 400, the temperature sensor 34 having a temperature detection function is provided away from the device sensor unit 400. Further, the device sensor unit 400 includes a clock, and the time is also detected. In addition, the location information of the installation location of the beverage extraction device 1 (the beverage extraction device 2 described later) can be detected via GPS (Global Positioning System).

The communication unit 500 connects the beverage extraction device 1 and the external user terminal 600 (see FIG. 24) of the beverage extraction device 1. The communication unit 500 is an antenna for transmission / reception and a dedicated circuit. The connection form is various wireless methods such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) and Wi-Fi (registered trademark). The user terminal 600 is various devices such as a personal computer (PC), a tablet terminal, a smartphone, and a smart watch that can be connected to the Internet.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the infuser 40 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the infuser 40 includes a hinge portion 41, a lock portion 42, an outer surface of one half of the sphere (hereinafter, the first outer surface) 43, a plurality of holes 44, and an outer surface of the other half of the sphere (hereinafter, the outer surface of the other half of the sphere). Hereinafter, it has a second outer surface) 45 and an infuser magnet 46. Although the infuser 40 will be described with reference to FIG. 2, the present embodiment may be the infuser shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the

infuser magnets

46 and 49 may be attached to the first outer surface and the second outer surface, respectively.

The infuser 40 has a spherical shape as shown in FIG. The shape of the infuser 40 does not have to be limited to a sphere, and may be a box. As shown in FIG. 7, the infuser 40 is immersed in the bottle portion 10 through the opening and comes into contact with water or heated water to extract tea. Further, the infuser 40 has a hollow structure capable of enclosing the tea leaves in the mouth inside, and various tea leaves and combinations of tea leaves are encapsulated according to the user's preference. For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, a spiral groove is provided between the first outer surface and the second outer surface of the infuser 40 to enable opening and joining. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a hinge portion 41 and a lock portion 42 may be provided as a mechanism for opening the infuser 40 for enclosing the tea leaves. This mechanism is not limited to the hinge portion 41 and the lock portion 42, and one half of the sphere and the other half of the sphere may be completely separated, and a screw-type locking mechanism may be provided in the separated cross-sectional portion.

In the infuser 40, the first outer surface 43 has a plurality of holes 44 for allowing the inflow and outflow of liquid between the inside of the infuser 40 and the inside of the bottle portion 10, and the second outer surface 45 has irregularities and holes. It consists of a surface that does not have. The first outer surface of the infuser 40 is directed upward when allowing the inflow and outflow of liquid between the inside and the inside of the bottle portion 10, and when blocking the inflow and outflow of liquid between the inside and the inside of the bottle portion 10. The second outer surface is turned upwards. Further, in the case of the infuser 40 as shown in FIG. 6, the first outer surface 43 has a plurality of holes 44 for allowing the inflow and outflow of liquid between the inside of the infuser 40 and the inside of the bottle portion 10. The second outer surface 45 may have a hole 48.

In the present embodiment, the ratio of the first outer surface 43 and the second outer surface 45 is halved, but this ratio can be changed as appropriate. For example, this ratio can be changed according to the type of tea leaves, or can be changed according to the extraction conditions. Further, the shape of the hole 44 is vertically long as shown in FIG. 2 in the present embodiment, but this shape is also arbitrary and may be changed according to the type of tea leaves. Further, the hole 44 may have a mesh (wire mesh) so that fine tea leaves are not mixed with water.

The infuser 40 further includes an infuser magnet 46 inside the first outer surface 43 side, and is rotationally driven with the rotational drive of the base magnet 32 of the base portion 30. Here, the infuser magnet 46 is composed of a permanent magnet and is arranged near the central portion of the first outer surface. At that time, the infuser magnet 46 is arranged in the infuser 40 so that one magnetic pole is arranged on the upper side and the other magnetic pole is arranged on the lower side. With this configuration, the infuser magnet 46 is arranged only near the center of the first outer surface. Therefore, if the base magnet 32 does not generate a magnetic force, the first outer surface side of the infuser 40 is due to gravity. It will be on the lower side. Then, when a magnetic force is generated in the base magnet 32, the vertical position of the infuser magnet 46 is reversed, and the vertical direction of the infuser 40 itself is reversed. That is, the control unit 35 may generate a magnetic pole in the base magnet 32 only when allowing the inflow and outflow of the liquid between the inside of the infuser 40 and the inside of the bottle unit 10. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, by arranging the infuser magnets on the first outer surface and the second outer surface, the vertical position can be repeatedly reversed.

Further, the infuser 40 has a blocking mechanism 47 that blocks the inflow and outflow of water between the inside of the infuser 40 and the bottle portion 10 by closing a plurality of holes 44. The blocking mechanism 47 is a mechanism that is closed by gravity when the first outer surface side is turned downward, and when the first outer surface side is turned upward, the inside of the infuser 40 and the bottle portion 10 are closed. Inflow and outflow with water inside is allowed. In FIG. 2, the blocking mechanism 47 is realized by rotatably supporting a plate-shaped lid slightly larger than the hole 44 on the inner side of the infuser 40 of the hole 44 on the second outer surface 45 side.

(Operation of beverage extractor)
FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing an extraction routine as an operation of the beverage extraction device 1 by the control unit 35 according to the present embodiment. First, in S1, the control unit 35 waits for the user to receive the desired extraction condition. The user may input the extraction condition by using the operation unit (not shown) provided in the base unit 30, or may input the extraction condition by using the user terminal owned by the user himself / herself. Extraction conditions include extraction time, extraction temperature, and extraction physical quantity. This extraction routine is started when the extraction condition from the user is received. The control unit 35 repeats the process of S1 until the user inputs the desired extraction condition (S1 is NO).

When the desired extraction condition from the user is received (S1 is YES), in S2, the control unit 35 heats the water in the bottle unit 10 to the extraction temperature included in the extraction condition received in S1. Heating is started using 33. The control unit 35 uses the temperature sensor 34 in S3 to keep the heater 33 in the ON state until the water temperature in the bottle unit 10 satisfies the extraction conditions. That is, the control unit 35 repeats the process of S3 until the water temperature satisfies the extraction condition (S3 is NO). Then, when the water temperature reaches the extraction temperature included in the extraction condition (YES in S3), the control unit 35 controls the heater 33 to keep the water temperature at the extraction temperature included in the extraction condition in S4 to keep the temperature warm. Take control. Specifically, the control unit 35 generates and transmits a start signal for executing a general heat insulation control routine that exists separately from the main extraction routine.

In the following S5, the power supply of the base magnet 32 is turned on by the control unit 35. When the power of the base magnet 32 is turned on, the base magnet 32 generates a magnetic force, and the current is controlled so that the second outer surface side 45 is on the lower side. That is, the control unit 35 generates a magnetic force in the base magnet 32 when allowing the inflow and outflow of water inside the infuser 40 and the inside of the bottle unit 10. Further, in S5, the control unit 35 starts the rotational drive of the base magnet 32. Further, the control unit 35 controls the rotation speed of the base magnet 32 as an extraction physical quantity. The extracted physical quantity is not particularly limited in addition to the rotation speed of the base magnet 32, such as control of the rotation position of the base magnet 32 and the strength of power supply to the base magnet 32. In the present embodiment, the extracted physical quantity is a rotation speed, and is adjusted by the strength of the voltage transmitted by the control unit 35 to the base magnet 32. Further, the control unit 35 may be a process of simultaneously performing S4 and S5.

Note that the base magnet 32 may be supplied with a current when the extraction conditions are input. In this case, the control unit 35 can control the direction of power supply to the base magnet 32 so that the base magnet 32 generates a magnetic force so that the first outer surface side 43 of the infuser 40 surely faces downward. Further, the control unit 35 may start the rotational drive of the base magnet 32 when the extraction condition is input. As a result, the water temperature of the bottle portion 10 can be agitated so as to be constant.

In the following S6, the control unit 35 measures whether the extraction time included in the extraction condition input by the user has elapsed from S4 to the present time. The control unit 35 repeats the process of S6 until the extraction time included in the extraction condition elapses (S6 is NO). The control unit 35 executes the process of S7 when the extraction time included in the extraction condition has elapsed (YES in S6).

In S7, the control unit 35 stops energizing the base magnet 32, and also stops the rotational drive of the base magnet 32. Since the tea leaves are extracted from components such as bitterness due to continuous contact with water, the rotational drive of the base magnet 32 may be stopped in S7 and the magnetic poles of the base magnet 32 may be reversed. As a result, the first outer surface 43 is located on the lower side again, so that the contact between the tea leaves and water can be blocked. Further, in S7, it is also possible to reverse only the magnetic pole of the base magnet 32 and continue only the rotational drive of the base magnet 32. This allows the agitation of the extracted beverage to continue.

Then, the process is transferred to S8, and the control unit 35 detects whether or not the user stops the process of keeping the water temperature in the bottle unit 10 in S3. That is, the beverage extraction device is stopped when the user finishes drinking the extracted beverage or the process of transferring the beverage to another container is completed. The process of S8 is repeated until the user stops the heat retention process (S8 is NO). Then, the control unit 35 ends this extraction routine when the user stops the heat retention process (YES in S8). Specifically, the control unit 35 generates and transmits a signal for stopping the heat retention control routine that exists separately from the main extraction routine.

(Control method of beverage extractor)
Next, a method of controlling the beverage extraction device under the extraction conditions by the user will be described. In the present embodiment, the configuration in which the control unit 35 and the storage unit 36 are arranged in the base unit 30 is illustrated, but the control unit 35 and the storage unit 36 are realized by a user terminal, an external server, or the like. May be good. Further, although the configuration of the operation unit (not shown) arranged in the base unit 30 is illustrated, the operation unit may be a user terminal 600 (see FIG. 24) owned by the user. When the user terminal is used as a control unit 35 and an operation unit, the user terminal 600 and the communication unit 500 of the beverage extraction device 1 communicate with the user terminal by NFC (Near Field Communication) such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) to extract the beverage from the user terminal. The device 1 can be reliably paired.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing a control routine of the beverage extraction device 1 by the control unit 35 according to the present embodiment. First, in S11, the control unit 35 waits for the user to receive the type of tea leaves and, if necessary, the extraction auxiliary conditions. The user uses the operation unit to select the type of tea leaves. Enter the extraction auxiliary conditions as needed. The control unit 35 repeats the process of S11 until the user inputs the extraction auxiliary condition (S11 is NO).

Then, when the extraction auxiliary condition is received from the user (YES in S11), the control unit 35 stores the extraction condition including at least the optimum extraction time, extraction temperature, and extraction physical quantity for the tea leaf type input in S12. Obtained from part 36.

FIG. 5 is an example of a data structure of optimum extraction conditions for a plurality of tea leaves stored in the storage unit 36. As shown in FIG. 5, the storage unit 36 stores the optimum extraction time, extraction temperature, and extraction physical quantity for each tea leaf (individual object to be extracted) as the optimum extraction conditions for the plurality of tea leaves. Here, the physical quantity to be extracted may be the rotation speed or the rotation speed of the infuser 40 to be filled. In the example shown in FIG. 5, rpm is used as the rotation speed for one minute. Further, the storage unit also stores extraction auxiliary conditions for each of the plurality of tea leaves. The extraction auxiliary condition is an auxiliary extraction condition for obtaining or alleviating the acidity, aroma, sweetness, bitterness, etc. of each tea leaf (individual extract).

In S13, the control unit 35 calculates the optimum extraction conditions using the extracted extraction conditions. Further, the storage unit 36 can store the extraction conditions and the extraction auxiliary conditions that the user has extracted so far, and the control unit 35 controls the extraction conditions and the extraction auxiliary conditions according to the tea leaves according to the user's preference. It can be calculated by the unit 35. When the storage unit 36 is a server or the like connected via an internet line, it is possible to store various user extraction conditions. Therefore, the control unit 35 uses a huge database to extract tea leaves and the optimum extraction conditions for the user. Can also be calculated.

The user can also extract a beverage by combining a plurality of tea leaves that suit the user's taste. It is a so-called blended tea. The beverage extraction device 1 can also calculate extraction conditions and extraction auxiliary conditions according to the combination of a plurality of tea leaves. Specifically, the user inputs to the control unit 35 through the operation unit what percentage of each tea leaf is contained. Then, the control unit can calculate the extraction condition and the extraction auxiliary condition according to the combination of the plurality of tea leaves. In the present embodiment, the control unit 35 calculates the extraction condition and the extraction auxiliary condition, and the control unit 35 also controls the beverage extraction device 1, but these operations are performed by a plurality of control units. In this case, it can be realized by transmitting the extraction condition and the extraction auxiliary condition calculated by one control unit to another control unit. In addition, each user may be able to post the recommended blended tea to, for example, SNS or the like via the operation unit.

Depending on the tea leaves, components such as bitterness may be extracted due to excessive extraction temperature, extraction time, and extraction physical quantity. When the user inputs a combination of a plurality of tea leaves, the control unit 35 optimizes the shortest extraction time, the lowest extraction temperature, and the minimum extraction physical quantity among the extraction conditions for each tea leaf extracted from the storage unit 36. It is calculated as an extraction condition. On the other hand, when it is desired to extract all the active ingredients of a plurality of tea leaves, the control unit 35 sets the maximum extraction time, the maximum extraction temperature, and the maximum extraction physical quantity among the extraction conditions for each tea leaf extracted from the storage unit 36. Calculated as the optimum extraction condition.

Also, depending on the combination of tea leaves, it may be difficult to drink and may bring unpleasant taste to the user. Therefore, the storage unit 36 can memorize the bad drinking of tea leaves, and can warn the user when the user selects a plurality of tea leaves having bad drinking.

In the following S14, the control unit 35 transmits the calculated optimum extraction condition to the beverage extraction device 1, and the beverage extraction device 1 starts extracting the beverage.

In the following S15, the control unit 35 determines whether or not the extraction process from the tea leaves is completed. The control unit 35 repeats the process of S15 until the extraction process from the tea leaves is completed (S15 is NO). Then, when the extraction process from the tea leaves is completed (YES in S15), the user is notified that the extraction process from the tea leaves is completed (S16). The control unit 35 ends this control routine when S16 is completed.

(First modification)
In the above embodiment, the infuser 40 includes one infuser magnet 46 inside, but one infuser magnet near the center of the first outer surface and one inn near the center of the second outer surface. A fuser magnet can also be placed. With this configuration, the center of gravity of the infuser 40 can be centered, and the infuser 40 is smoothly inverted when the magnetic poles of the base magnet 32 are inverted. In this case, it is necessary to arrange the two magnets so that the upper side of the two magnets has the same magnetic pole.

At this time, the control unit 35 generates a magnetic force in the base magnet 32 in S2 to allow water to flow in and out of the inside of the infuser 40 and the bottle portion 10, and is located at a position facing the infuser 40. The magnetic pole of the base magnet 32 is set to the first pole. Then, the control unit 35 sets the magnetic pole of the base magnet 32 at the position facing the infuser 40 to the second pole when allowing the inflow and outflow of the liquid between the inside of the infuser 40 and the inside of the bottle unit 10 in S5.

(Second modification)
In the present embodiment and the first modification, the infuser magnet 46 is arranged near the central portion of the first outer surface and / or near the central portion of the first outer surface, but the infuser 40 is arranged in the vertical direction. It is also possible to arrange one or more rod-shaped infuser magnets on the side surface of the case. The rod-shaped infuser magnet is arranged so that the upper side is one magnetic pole and the lower side is the other pole. Since the processing of the control unit 35 in this case is the same as that of the first modification, the description thereof will be omitted.

As described above, according to the beverage extraction device 1 according to the present embodiment, when the temperature of water as a liquid reaches a temperature suitable for extraction, the magnetic poles of the base magnet 32 are controlled and the vertical position of the infuser 40 is moved. It is inverted and the extraction of the beverage is started. Therefore, the beverage extraction device 1 can be realized with a simple configuration.

For example, even if there is a difference in the concentration of the liquid extracted from the tea leaves depending on the position in the bottle portion 10 in the vertical direction (depth direction of the bottle portion), the infuser 40 is turned upside down to make the bottle. The liquid in the portion 10 can be stirred in the vertical direction. Thereby, the function of the beverage extraction device 1 can be improved.

Since the infuser 40 is a substantially sphere and the inner bottom surface of the bottle portion 10 has a device shape so that the infuser 40 can be fitted, the bottom surface of the bottle portion 10 and the spherical surface of the infuser 40 match, so that the infuser 40 can be used. It becomes easy to rotate.

Since the control unit 35 controls the magnetic poles of the base magnet 32 so that the first outer surface 43 faces upward when allowing the inflow and outflow of liquid between the inside of the infuser 40 and the inside of the bottle portion 10, the base magnet 32 Since the extraction of the beverage can be started only by controlling the magnetic pole, the extraction of the beverage can be performed without a large-scale device and with low power consumption.

Since the infuser 40 has a blocking mechanism 47 that blocks the inflow and outflow of liquid between the inside of the infuser 40 and the inside of the bottle portion 10 when the hole portion 44 faces downward, the hole portion 44 of the infuser 40 has a hole portion 44. When facing downward, the inflow and outflow of liquid between the inside of the infuser 40 and the inside of the bottle portion 10 can be reliably blocked. Therefore, the inside of the infuser 40 can be kept dry until the start of extraction of the beverage.

When the infuser 40 is provided with the infuser magnet 46 only on the first outer surface 43 side, the weight and cost of the infuser 40 itself can be reduced by providing the infuser magnet 46 on only one side.

When the control unit 35 controls the magnetic poles of the base magnet 32 only when allowing the inflow and outflow of liquid between the inside of the infuser 40 and the inside of the bottle unit 10, gravity causes the first outer surface 43 side to face downward. Therefore, even if the base magnet 32 is not controlled, the inflow and outflow of the liquid between the inside of the infuser 40 and the inside of the bottle portion 10 is not allowed until the start of extraction.

Since the control unit 35 generates a magnetic force in the electromagnet when allowing the inflow and outflow of the liquid between the inside of the infuser 40 and the inside of the bottle part 10, the inflow and outflow of the liquid between the inside of the infuser 40 and the inside of the bottle part 10 is allowed. Since the electric power is used only when the beverage is extracted, the electric power usage fee for extracting the beverage can be suppressed.

The infuser 40 is provided with an infuser magnet 46 on the first outer surface 43 side and the second outer surface 45, and the infuser magnet 46 is arranged so that the upper side of each is one magnetic pole. Therefore, the center of gravity of the infuser magnet 46 moves closer to the center of the infuser 40, so that the infuser 40 rotates smoothly up and down.

The control unit 35 controls the magnetic poles of the base magnet 32 so that the first outer surface 43 faces upward when allowing the inflow and outflow of liquid between the inside of the infuser 40 and the inside of the bottle portion 10, and the inside of the infuser 40. The magnetic pole of the base magnet 32 is controlled so that the second outer surface 45 faces upward when blocking the inflow and outflow of the liquid from the inside of the bottle portion 10. Therefore, by appropriately controlling the magnetic poles of the base magnet 32, the infuser 40 can be rotated while blocking the inflow and outflow of the liquid between the inside of the infuser 40 and the inside of the bottle portion 10, so that the inside of the bottle portion 10 can be rotated. The liquid can be agitated.

Since the infuser 40 is provided with a rod-shaped permanent magnet as the infuser magnet 46 on the side surface when the infuser 40 is arranged in the vertical direction, the center of gravity of the infuser magnet 46 is closer to the center of the infuser 40, so that the infuser The vertical rotation of 40 becomes smooth.

When the control unit 35 allows the inflow and outflow of liquid between the inside of the infuser 40 and the inside of the bottle portion 10, the magnetic pole of the base magnet 32 at the position facing the infuser 40 is set to the first pole, and the inside of the infuser 40 is set. The magnetic pole of the base magnet 32 at a position facing the infuser 40 is set to the second pole when blocking the inflow and outflow of the liquid from the bottle portion 10. Therefore, since the vertical direction of the infuser 40 can be controlled only by controlling the magnetic pole of the base magnet 32, the inflow and outflow of the liquid between the inside of the infuser 40 and the inside of the bottle portion 10 can be easily allowed or blocked. be able to.

The control method in the beverage extraction device 1 is a reception step for receiving the contents input by the user, and an acquisition step for acquiring the extraction conditions including at least the optimum extraction time, extraction temperature, and extraction physical quantity for the contents from the storage unit 36. It also includes a transmission step of transmitting the acquired extraction conditions to the control unit 35 that controls the extraction device, and a notification step of notifying the user that the extraction process is completed from the contents.

Since the optimum extraction conditions for the contents input by the user are acquired from the storage unit 36, the optimum extraction conditions for various contents can be realized as the beverage extraction device 1.

The extraction physical quantity is the rotation speed or rotation speed of the infuser 40 filled with the contents of the extraction device.

Beverages can be extracted under the optimum extraction conditions because it is possible to set whether to perform the extraction process slowly or quickly according to the contents.

When a plurality of types of contents are received from the user in the receiving step, the acquisition step includes at least the optimum extraction time, extraction temperature, and extraction physical quantity for each of the individual types of contents of the plurality of types of contents. The extraction conditions may be acquired from the storage unit 36, and are calculated as the optimum extraction conditions including the optimum extraction time, extraction temperature, and extraction physical quantity for a plurality of types of contents received from the user from each extracted extraction condition. It also has more calculation steps to do.

In this case, since the optimum extraction conditions corresponding to the original blend input by the user can be calculated in consideration of the storage unit 36, the user can obtain the beverage obtained by extracting the original blend without any trouble. can.

In the calculation step, the shortest extraction time, the lowest extraction temperature, and the minimum extraction physical quantity among the contents of each type are calculated as the optimum extraction conditions.

The calculation unit can calculate appropriate extraction conditions corresponding to the original blend by a simple calculation method.

In the calculation step, a warning step is further provided to warn the user when it is calculated that the contents of each type contained in a plurality of types of contents are poorly swallowed.

In this case, it is possible to suppress the extraction of the original blend that is likely to affect the user, or it is possible to suppress drinking the extracted beverage.

The receiving step may also receive the user's preference information from the user, and the calculation step may calculate the extraction condition according to the user's preference information.

Since the optimum extraction conditions for the user can be calculated based on the user's preference information, the optimum beverage for the user can be extracted without the user setting detailed extraction conditions.

The control program in the beverage extraction device 1 acquires from the storage unit 36 the reception function for receiving the contents input by the user and the extraction conditions including at least the optimum extraction time, extraction temperature, and extraction physical amount for the contents. The acquisition function is realized, the transmission function of transmitting the acquired extraction condition to the control unit 35 that controls the extraction device, and the notification function of notifying the user that the extraction process is completed from the contents are realized.

In this case, since the optimum extraction conditions for the contents input by the user are acquired from the storage unit 36, the optimum extraction conditions for various contents can be realized as the beverage extraction device 1.

Further, the storage medium according to the present invention stores the control program of the beverage extraction device 1 according to the above aspect.

<Second Embodiment>
Hereinafter, the beverage extraction device 2 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 17. In this description, the description of the same configuration and control method as in the first embodiment will be omitted. Further, the description of the same effect as that of the first embodiment will be omitted. In addition, in the second embodiment, the same reference numeral configuration as in the first embodiment described above has the same function in the second embodiment.

FIG. 11 is a perspective view of the beverage extraction device 2 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 12 is an exploded perspective view of the beverage extraction device 2. FIG. 13 is a vertical sectional view of the beverage extraction device 2. As shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, the beverage extraction device 2 according to the present embodiment has a bottle portion 110 capable of holding the liquid supplied to the inside through an opening located on the upper side, and an opening of the bottle portion 110. A lid portion 120 for covering the base portion 120 and a base portion 130 in which a bottle portion 110 is installed and which rotatably holds the base magnet 133 are provided. In FIG. 11, the power supply unit 31 and the device sensor unit 400 appear outside the base unit main body 131 as a power switch for starting. Further, an operation switch Fs for operating the beverage extraction device 2 is also provided in the vicinity. A part of the sensor unit 400 is also incorporated inside the arm unit 132 (not shown).

As shown in FIG. 12, the bottle portion 110 has a cylindrical shape and includes a bottle body 111 capable of holding a liquid and a bottle handle 112 protruding outward in the radial direction from the bottle body 111. Here, the central axis O of the bottle body 111 extends in the vertical direction. In the following description, the direction orthogonal to the central axis O of the bottle body 111 in top view is referred to as a radial direction, and the direction orbiting around the central axis O is referred to as a circumferential direction.

The outer peripheral wall of the bottle body 111 is made of a translucent material such as glass so that the inside can be visually recognized. Therefore, the amount of the contents of the bottle body 111 can be visually recognized from the outside. As shown in FIG. 13, a spout is formed at the upper end of the bottle body 111. The upper surface of the bottle body 111 can be covered with the lid portion 120. The lid portion 120 includes a disc-shaped lid portion main body 121 and a lid handle 122 protruding outward in the radial direction from the lid portion main body 121. The bottle unit 110 of the second embodiment also includes a liquid quality adjusting unit 37, and releases mineral components according to the control of the control unit 35 to adjust the hardness of water.

As shown in FIG. 12, on the upper surface of the lid body 121, an operation unit 123 that is operated when the lid body 121 attached to the bottle body 111 is removed from the bottle body 111 is provided. Further, the lid portion main body 121 includes a holding portion 124 that rotatably holds the infuser 140. The holding portion 124 is fixed to the lower surface of the lid portion main body 121.

As shown in FIG. 13, the holding portion 124 has an arc shape. A pair of insertion holes 125 into which the rotation shaft 141 of the infuser 140, which will be described later, is inserted are formed at both ends of the holding portion 124 along the arc. The insertion hole 125 penetrates the holding portion 124 in the radial direction. An insertion port 126 opened from the inside to the outside of the insertion hole 125 is formed at one end of the holding portion 124 along the arc.

The lid handle 122 includes a connecting portion 127 protruding outward in the radial direction from the lid main body 121, and a gripping portion 128 extending downward from the outer end portion in the connecting portion 127 in the radial direction. .. The vertical size of the grip portion 128 is smaller than the vertical size of the bottle body 111.

The base portion 130 includes a base portion main body 131 in which the bottle portion 110 is installed, and an arm portion 132 erected on the outer edge portion of the base portion main body 131. The base unit 131 includes a heater 33 (heating unit) heated by the power supply unit, a temperature sensor 34 for detecting the water temperature in the bottle unit 110 overheated by the heater 33, a control unit (control means) 35, and a storage unit 36. , The device sensor unit 400, and the communication unit 500 are built-in. The second embodiment also has the same functions as the device sensor unit 400 and the communication unit 500 of the first embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 13, the base portion 130 rotatably holds the base magnet 133. Inside the arm portion 132 of the base portion 130, a base magnet 133 and a motor 55 for rotating the base magnet 133 are arranged. The drive shaft 55A of the motor 55 extends in the horizontal direction.

In this embodiment, a pair of permanent magnets is used for the base magnet 133. The pair of base magnets 133 are arranged so as to be adjacent to each other in the vertical direction in a state where the directions of the magnetic poles are different from each other. Then, when the drive shaft 55A of the motor 55 rotates, the pair of permanent magnets rotate around the drive shaft 55A so as to change the positions in the vertical direction of each other.

FIG. 14 is a six-view view of the beverage extraction device 2. As shown in FIG. 14, the arm portion 132 is arranged on the outer edge portion of the base portion main body 131 on the opposite side of the bottle handle 112 that sandwiches the bottle main body 111 in the radial direction when viewed from above. The lid handle 122 coincides with the bottle handle 112 in the circumferential direction and overlaps with each other in the vertical direction.

As shown in FIG. 13, the infuser 140 is a substantially sphere, and a pair of rotating shafts 141 extending horizontally and coaxial with each other are formed on the outer surface thereof. The rotary shaft 141 is rotatably held by the holding portion 124 fixed to the lid portion 120. The infuser magnet 146 is arranged at the tip of any one of the pair of rotating shafts 141. In the present embodiment, a pair of permanent magnets is adopted as the infuser magnet 146.

A magnet case 142 is connected to the tip of one of the rotating shafts 141 of the infuser 140. The magnet case 142 has an oval shape extending in the vertical direction. A pair of infuser magnets 146 are arranged inside the magnet case 142, respectively. The shape of the magnet case may be an elliptical shape, a triangle, a circle, or the like, and magnets may be provided at necessary locations.

The pair of infuser magnets 146 are arranged so as to be adjacent to each other in the vertical direction in a state where the directions of the magnetic poles are different from each other. By making the directions of the magnetic poles of the pair of infuser magnets 146 different from each other in this way, the initial phase of the pair of infuser magnets 146 can be easily specified. If such an initial phase specifying function is not required, the pair of infuser magnets 146 may be arranged so as to be adjacent to each other in the vertical direction with the directions of the respective magnetic poles matched. ..

The pair of infuser magnets 146 face each other with a pair of base magnets 133 at horizontal intervals. In the illustrated example, the pair of infuser magnets 146 and the pair of base magnets 133 are arranged at positions adjacent to each other in the horizontal direction via the outer peripheral wall of the bottle body 111 and the outer wall of the arm portion 132.

Of the pair of infuser magnets 146 and the pair of base magnets 133, those facing each other in the horizontal direction are attracted by their magnetic forces. Therefore, when the base magnet 133 rotates around the drive shaft 55A of the motor 55, the infuser magnet 146 rotates around the drive shaft 55A in synchronization with the base magnet 133. As a result, the infuser 140 is turned upside down.

FIG. 15 is a six-view view of the infuser 140. As shown in FIG. 15, a plurality of mesh-shaped holes 144 are formed on the first outer surface 143 of the infuser 140 in the present embodiment. The plurality of holes 144 are formed over the entire area except the top of the first outer surface 143.

As shown in FIG. 12, the infuser 140 also includes a mesh-shaped inner plate 147 that separates the inside of the first outer surface 143 and the inside of the second outer surface 145 from the inside of the infuser 140. The middle plate 147 has a circular shape in a plan view, and a mesh is formed over the entire area. For this reason, the middle plate 147 regulates the tea leaves from passing through the middle plate 147, while allowing the liquid to pass through the middle plate 147. A through hole 148 is formed at the bottom of the second outer surface 145 of the infuser 140. Therefore, the liquid can flow into the inside of the second outer surface 145 from the through hole 148 (see FIG. 17A). The middle plate 147 may be omitted and integrated with the second outer surface 145.

The control unit 35 controls the magnetic poles of the base magnet 133 so that the first outer surface 143 faces downward when allowing the inflow and outflow of liquid between the inside of the infuser 140 and the inside of the bottle unit 110. This point will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 16 to 18 together with the filling of the tea leaves inside the infuser 140 and the operation of the infuser 140 at the time of extracting the tea leaves. FIG. 16 is a perspective view showing a state in which tea leaves are set on the infuser 140. FIG. 17 is a diagram showing a state in which the infuser 140 is rotated to extract tea leaves. FIG. 18 is a flow chart showing an extraction routine as an operation of the beverage extraction device 2 by the control unit 35 in the second embodiment. In FIG. 17, the parts other than the infuser 140 are not shown in consideration of the legibility of the figure.

As shown in FIG. 16, the first outer surface 143 and the second outer surface 145 are mounted with the tea leaves placed on the inner plate 147 of the infuser 140. Then, the rotating shaft 141 of the infuser 140 is inserted into the holding portion 124 of the lid portion 120. At this time, the magnet case 142 of the pair of rotating shafts 141 is connected while the one of the pair of rotating shafts 141 to which the magnet case 142 is not connected is passed through the insertion hole 125 of the holding portion 124. The magnet is inserted through the insertion slot 126 of the holding portion 124.

As a result, the lid 120 holds the infuser 140 rotatably. Then, the lid portion 120 is attached to the bottle portion 110 filled with water. Then, in the control flow shown in FIG. 18, the steps S1 to S4 are performed. Next, from the state shown in FIG. 17A, as S5, the motor 55 is driven under the control of the control unit 35, and the infuser 140 is turned upside down (FIG. 17B).

As a result, the tea leaves fall from the upper surface of the middle plate 147 to the inside of the first outer surface 143 of the infuser 140 and are immersed in water, and the tea leaves are extracted. The extracted liquid passes through the hole 144 and spreads over the entire area of the bottle body 111. The control unit 35 repeats the process of S6 until the extraction time included in the extraction condition elapses (S6 is NO). The control unit 35 executes the process of S7 when the extraction time included in the extraction condition has elapsed (YES in S6).

Then, in S7, when the extraction of tea leaves is completed, the motor 55 is further driven by the control of the control unit 35, and the infuser 140 is further rotated (FIG. 17 (c)). As a result, the tea leaves are placed on the upper surface of the middle plate 147, and the extraction is completed. Then, the processing is transferred to S8.

As described above, according to the beverage extraction device 2 according to the present embodiment, the base portion 130 includes an arm portion 132 erected on the outer edge portion of the base portion main body 131, and the base magnet 133 has an arm portion 132. It is located inside the. Therefore, the base magnet 133 can be arranged at a position horizontally adjacent to the infuser 140. By arranging the infuser magnet 146 at a position horizontally facing the base magnet 133, the infuser magnet 146 and the base magnet can be increased regardless of the rotational posture of the infuser 140 even if the diameter of the infuser 140 is increased. It is possible to prevent the distance from the 133 from increasing. As a result, the infuser 140 can be reliably rotated by the base magnet 133.

As a result, the diameter of the infuser 140 can be increased as compared with the configuration in which the base magnet 133 is arranged inside the base portion main body 131, and a space where the tea leaves swell when the tea leaves are extracted can be created. By securing it in the infuser 140, the quality of tea leaf extraction can be improved by the beverage extraction device 2. Compared with the configuration in which the base magnet 133 is arranged inside the base portion main body 131, it is possible to secure a large volume of the heater 33 occupying the inside of the base magnet 133, and it is possible to secure the manufacturing feasibility.

The spherical infuser 140 includes a pair of rotating shafts 141, and the rotating shaft 141 is held by the holding portion 124 fixed to the lid portion 120. Therefore, the infuser 140 can be removed from the bottle body 111 at the same time as the lid portion 120, and the handleability of the infuser 140 can be ensured.

For example, the structure of the bottle body 111 can be simplified and the space volume inside the bottle body 111 can be secured as compared with the configuration in which the portion for holding the infuser 140 is provided inside the bottle body 111. By forming the rotary shaft 141 on the outer surface of the infuser 140, the moldability of the infuser 140 can be ensured as compared with the configuration in which the concave portion is formed on the outer surface of the infuser 140.

The infuser magnet 146 is arranged on one of the pair of rotating shafts 141. Therefore, the distance between the base magnet 133 and the infuser magnet 146 can be shortened as compared with the configuration in which the infuser magnet 146 is provided inside the infuser 140. As a result, the rotation operation of the infuser 140 using the base magnet 133 and the infuser magnet 146 can be smoothly performed.

When the infuser 140 includes a first outer surface 143 and a second outer surface 145, the first outer surface 143 allows the liquid to flow in and out of the inside of the infuser 140 and the inside of the bottle portion 110. The magnetic pole of the base magnet 133 is controlled so as to face downward. Therefore, when the first outer surface 143 on which the hole portion 144 is formed faces upward, the inflow and outflow of the liquid between the inside of the infuser 140 and the inside of the bottle portion 110 is blocked, and the first outer surface 143 is pressed. By turning it upward, the extraction of tea leaves can be stopped.

The infuser 140 includes a middle plate 147 that separates the inside of the first outer surface 143 and the inside of the second outer surface 145 of the inside of the infuser 140. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the tea leaves from being agitated too much inside the infuser 140 and to smoothly extract the tea leaves.

The arm portion 132 is arranged on the outer edge portion of the base portion main body 131 on the opposite side of the bottle handle 112 that sandwiches the bottle main body 111 in the radial direction when viewed from above. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the overlap between the arm portion 132 and the bottle handle 112 and improve the appearance of the beverage extraction device 2.

Since the lid handle 122 of the lid portion 120 coincides with the bottle handle 112 in the circumferential direction and overlaps with each other in the vertical direction, the bulkiness of the lid handle 122 and the bottle handle 112 can be suppressed to form a compact configuration.

Although the above embodiments have been described with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in each of the above embodiments, the

bottle portions

10 and 110 have a cylindrical shape, but the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment. The

bottle portions

10, 110 may be, for example, a square cylinder.

In the second embodiment, the rotation shaft 141 is formed on the outer surface of the infuser 140, but the present invention is not limited to this aspect. A pair of rotating shafts 141 protruding toward the infuser 140 may be formed separately at both ends of the arc in the holding portion 124, and insertion recesses into which the rotating shafts 141 may be inserted may be formed on the outer surface of the infuser 140.

[Operation and control mode in a stand-alone beverage extractor]
In the beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2 described in detail so far, the extraction operation of the object to be extracted of the device itself has been mainly referred to. In the following description, the beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2 have a function of acquiring external information of the external environment of the device and executing an optimum extraction operation on the premise of taking into consideration the external environment. Therefore, the control in the control unit 35 commonly mounted on the beverage extraction device 1 of the first embodiment and the beverage extraction device 2 of the second embodiment will be described in order from this.

The control unit 35 is mainly composed of a microcomputer as shown in the block diagram of FIG. An in / out interface 300, a CPU 301, a ROM 302, a RAM 303, and other storage elements (not shown) are mounted on the microcomputer. Further, the storage unit 36 is connected to the microcomputer. A heater 33, a temperature sensor 34, a liquid quality adjusting unit 37, a motor 55, a device sensor unit 400, and the like are connected to the in / out interface (I / O) 300.

The temperature information is transmitted from the temperature sensor 34 and the water hardness information is transmitted from the liquid quality adjusting unit 37 to the CPU 301 via the in / out interface 300. Further, various external information such as temperature and atmospheric pressure are transmitted from the device sensor unit 400 to the CPU 301. Further, a signal for controlling the temperature rise to the heater 33 and a signal for driving control to the motor 55 are transmitted.

The schematic block diagram of FIG. 20 represents the functional unit in the CPU 301 of the control unit 35. The CPU 301 of the control unit 35 includes an information acquisition unit 310, an analysis unit 320, a temperature control unit 330, a drive mode storage unit 340, a selection unit 350, a motor control unit 360, a liquid quality control unit 370, and the like.

The information acquisition unit 310 acquires external information (DA) detected by the device sensor unit 400. The external information (DA) to be detected is the air temperature (temperature ° C) in the environment (indoor) where the beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2 are installed, the indoor air pressure (atm, hPa), and the indoor humidity (relative). Humidity RH%), indoor illuminance (lux lp (amount of light, brightness)) and other information about the external environment. Therefore, various detection sensors such as a temperature sensor (thermometer), a pressure pressure sensor (pressure gauge), a humidity sensor (hygrometer), and an illuminance sensor (illuminance meter) are incorporated in the device sensor unit 400. The embodiment discloses four types of external information (DA). Of course, the number of external information (DA) is not limited to this, and the number may be reduced, for example, only the temperature, or other information may be included. For example, the clock also detects the time. In addition, the position information of the installation location of the beverage extraction device 1 (beverage extraction device 2) can be detected via GPS (Global Positioning System). Further, in the case of the beverage extraction device 2, the user can detect the user's pulse through the device sensor unit 400 by placing his / her finger on the device sensor unit 400 (see FIGS. 11 and 12).

The user of the beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2 is likely to be influenced by the mood and physical condition depending on the environment (indoor environment) in which the device is installed. Therefore, by acquiring external information (DA) in advance on the side of the beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2, the extraction conditions for tea, coffee, and other objects to be extracted according to the user's mood and physical condition are as described later. Is changed in detail.

The analysis unit 320 analyzes the acquired individual external information (DA) and generates analysis information (DB). The analysis information (DB) referred to here is an increase / decrease in the liquid temperature required for adjusting the liquid temperature (hot water temperature) and the immersion time when extracting the object to be extracted, based on individual external information (DA). Information about the expansion and contraction of time.

FIG. 21 (A) is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the external information (DA) and the analysis information (DB). As external information (DA), air temperature (° C.), atmospheric pressure (atm), humidity (RH%), and illuminance (lp) are acquired. All external information (DA) other than humidity is marked with an upward arrow (↑). This is a state in which the weather in the external environment (indoor environment) of the beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2 is fine, the temperature, the atmospheric pressure, and the illuminance are increasing, and the humidity is decreasing. Therefore, in order to finish the taste with a strong taste, the amount of the extract (tea, etc.) to be extracted is adjusted to be larger than that of the normal extraction. From the figure, an upward arrow (↑) is attached to the extract temperature (hot water temperature) and the immersion time. In this case, more catechins, tannins, caffeine, etc. from the tea leaves are extracted, resulting in a tea taste that promotes active movement.

FIG. 21B is also a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the external information (DA) and the analysis information (DB). As in FIG. 21 (A), room temperature (° C.), atmospheric pressure (atm), humidity (RH%), and illuminance (lp) are acquired as external information (DA). Room temperature and humidity are rising (upward arrow (↑)), and air pressure and illuminance are decreasing (downward arrow (↓)). This is a state in which the weather in the external environment (indoor environment) of the beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2 is cloudy and then rainy, the temperature and humidity increase, and the atmospheric pressure and illuminance decrease. Therefore, in order to make the taste lighter in response to the heat and humidity of the user, the amount of the extract (tea, etc.) to be extracted is adjusted to be smaller than that of the normal extraction. From the figure, both the hot water temperature and the soaking time are marked with downward arrows (↓). In this case, although catechins in tea leaves are extracted, extraction of tannins and caffeine is suppressed, resulting in a calming tea taste.

Actually, the analysis information is shown as a numerical value according to each extract. For example, when the standard extraction temperature of green tea (sencha) is 75 ° C. and 60 seconds, it is shown as specific values such as + 2 ° C., -4 ° C., + 30 seconds and −15 seconds. The explanation of the analysis information is an example, and contrary to the disclosure, it may be reversed such as a light taste on a sunny day, a cloudy taste, and a strong taste on a rainy day. In addition, it is appropriately changed according to the type of tea leaves, coffee, etc. of the extract.

The temperature control unit 330 controls the heating and heating of the liquid by the heating unit (heater 33) according to the analysis information (DB). As shown in FIGS. 21A and 21B, in the analysis information (DB) formed from the external information (DA), the temperature rise and temperature maintenance are controlled when the temperature is raised above the current liquid temperature. For example, the current hot water temperature is 65 ° C., and the heating is performed from the analysis information (DB) to 75 ° C.

The drive mode storage unit 340 stores a plurality of types of motor drive modes formed from either or both of the rotation speed and the rotation direction of the motor 55. The infuser 40 of the beverage extraction device 1 and the infuser 140 of the beverage extraction device 2 of the embodiment are pulled up from the hot water that has been rotated and soaked at an optimum time point. In this way, tea, coffee, etc. with the right concentration are completed. At this time, in addition to the movements of the

infusers

40 and 140 to be immersed and drained according to the time, the movements of gently shaking the

infusers

40 and 140, and further the movements of rotating the

infusers

40 and 140 are added.

In the motor drive mode that realizes the movement (swing) of the

infusers

40 and 140, the

infusers

40 and 140 turn right to a predetermined angle and then turn left to a predetermined angle a plurality of times. In the swinging motor drive mode, the tea leaves of the object to be extracted do not harden in the

infusers

40 and 140, and the tea leaves are always easily floated in hot water, so that the tea leaves can be extracted in a short time. Further, in the motor driving mode that realizes the motion of rotating the

infusers

40 and 140, the

infusers

40 and 140 are rotated a plurality of times so as to make one rotation in a predetermined time. In the rotary motor drive mode, the amount of tea leaves immersed in hot water is reduced, which is a good example for a finish in which the amount of elution is suppressed.

Here, as shown in the schematic diagram of FIG. 22, the analysis information (DB) is defined as a correspondence table (DC) associated with the motor drive mode. For example, in the case of the corresponding table (DC) of FIG. 22 (A), the hot water temperature rises (upward arrow (↑)) and the soaking time extension upward arrow (↑) on the analysis information (DB) side. In this analysis information (DB), the movement (shaking) of shaking the

infusers

40 and 140 is defined as the operation of extracting a larger amount of the object to be extracted (tea leaves) at a high temperature is required. Then, the shaking width, time, number of times, etc. are further defined according to the type of the object to be extracted (tea leaves, coffee, etc.). In the illustrated motor drive mode, it is defined as "swing: 6 times", "right XX °, stationary 10 seconds, left XX °".

Further, in the case of the corresponding table (DC) of FIG. 22 (B), the hot water temperature is lowered (downward arrow (↓)) and the soaking time is shortened downward arrow (↓) on the analysis information (DB) side. This analysis information (DB) defines the movement of rotating the

infusers

40 and 140, assuming that the operation of extracting the object to be extracted (tea leaves) at a low temperature in a short time is required. The rotation speed, time, and the like are further defined according to the type of the extract (tea leaves, coffee, etc.). In the illustrated motor drive mode, it is defined as "rotation: 4 times" and "1 rotation 15 seconds". Of course, these are examples, and are specified in a wider variety depending on the type of the extract (tea leaves, coffee, etc.).

The selection unit 350 selects the associated motor drive mode from the corresponding table according to the analysis information (DB). That is, with respect to the analysis information (DB) obtained from the external information (DA), the motor drive mode optimized according to the above-mentioned corresponding table (DC) is selected.

The motor control unit 360 controls either or both of the rotation speed and the rotation direction of the motor 55 according to the analysis information (DB). Either or both of the rotation speed and the rotation direction of the motor 55 is a motor driving mode. As described above, after the specific operation mode for the motor 55 is selected and determined, information on motor control such as energization and stop of energization of the motor 55 and reversal of direction is formed, and the control unit 35 (microcomputer) The motor 55 is controlled by the control unit 35 via the in / out interface 300 of the above.

Further, the control unit 35 can also include a liquid quality control unit 370. The liquid quality control unit 370 adjusts the properties of the liquid by the liquid quality adjustment unit 37 according to the analysis information (DB). Specifically, it is the adjustment of the hardness of water, and magnesium ions, calcium ions and the like are eluted into the

bottle portions

10 and 110 according to the hardness of the water to be adjusted. For example, when the extract to be extracted is black tea, it is known that extraction with hard water improves the color tone after extraction. Therefore, the mineral content is adjusted according to the analysis information (DB) while considering the type of the object to be extracted.

The flow of the beverage extraction method in the control unit 35 of the stand-alone type beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The processing of the beverage extraction method of the embodiment includes an information acquisition step (S310), an analysis step (S320), a temperature control step (S330), a drive mode storage step (S340), a selection step (S350), and a motor control step (S360). Processing proceeds in the order of. If necessary, the treatment of the liquid quality adjusting step (S370) is also added. The results of various data, calculations, calculations and the like generated in the processing of each step are stored in the RAM 303 or the storage unit 36.

The processing in the information acquisition step (S310) corresponds to the explanation of the information acquisition unit 310. Similarly, the processing in the analysis step (S320) corresponds to the explanation of the analysis unit 320, the processing in the temperature control step (S330) corresponds to the explanation of the temperature control unit 330, and the processing in the drive mode storage step (S340) is driven. Corresponding to the explanation of the aspect storage unit 340, the processing in the selection step (S350) corresponds to the explanation of the selection unit 350, and the processing in the motor control step (S360) corresponds to the explanation of the motor control unit 360. The process in the liquid quality adjusting step (S370) corresponds to the description of the liquid quality adjusting unit 37. Since the specific processing in each step corresponds to each of the above-mentioned parts, the details will be omitted.

[Operation and control mode in the beverage extraction device linked with the user terminal]
The description so far is based on the premise that the beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2 of the embodiment operate independently as a stand-alone. Further, the control unit 35 of the beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2 of the embodiment is mainly composed of a microcomputer as shown in the block diagram of FIG. 24. An in / out interface 300, a CPU 301, a ROM 302, a RAM 303, and other storage elements (not shown) are mounted on the microcomputer. Further, the storage unit 36 is connected to the microcomputer. A heater 33, a temperature sensor 34, a liquid quality adjusting unit 37, a motor 55, a device sensor unit 400, a communication unit 500, and the like are connected to the in / out interface (I / O) 300. Further, the communication unit 500 transmits and receives data to and from the user terminal 600 outside the beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2. The user terminal 600 is a personal computer, a tablet terminal, a smartphone, a smart watch, or the like.

The temperature information is transmitted from the temperature sensor 34 and the water hardness information is transmitted from the liquid quality adjusting unit 37 to the CPU 301 via the in / out interface 300. Further, various external information such as temperature and atmospheric pressure, and various data from the user terminal 600 are transmitted from the device sensor unit 400 to the CPU 301, and are also transmitted to the user terminal 600. Further, a signal for controlling the temperature rise to the heater 33 and a signal for driving control to the motor 55 are transmitted.

As shown in FIG. 24 as a user terminal cooperation type, data can be transmitted / received by communicating with the user terminal 600. By relaying the user terminal 600, it is possible to additionally acquire information on new types of tea leaves, coffee, etc. and suitable brewing methods as new extracts existing on websites connected to the Internet. .. It is also possible to provide feedback on the quality of the object to be extracted purchased from the users of the beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2.

The main circuit configuration of the user terminal 600 is shown as a block diagram of FIG. A CPU 601, a ROM 602, a RAM 603, and a storage unit (storage element) 604 are mounted on the user terminal 600. Further, a communication unit 605, a display unit 606, an external sensor unit 700, and the like are also mounted. The user terminal 600 of the illustrated embodiment illustrates a smartphone. The display unit 606 is a known touch-type liquid crystal panel or organic EL panel, and is used for input as well as display.

The external sensor unit 700 is various detection sensors that detect the volume, illuminance, pulse, body temperature, etc. around the user terminal 600. In addition to the sensor built in the user terminal 600 itself, any sensor connected separately may be used. For example, when the user terminal 600 is a smart watch or the like, it is possible to detect the user's pulse from the arm or wrist, and if the pulse is high, it is in an excited state, and if the pulse is low, it is in a sedated state. As described above, the process after the beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2 acquire the pulse information as external information generates analysis information, which is reflected in the extraction conditions and the motor drive mode. For example, if external information is obtained that the pulse is high when the extract to be extracted is green tea, the extraction of caffeine and tannin is suppressed, and catechins are mainly extracted for the sedative effect according to the pulse. The extraction temperature is lower than usual.

By combining the external sensor unit 700 with the user terminal 600, the types of external information that can be acquired are expanded, and the extraction operation of the object to be extracted that suits the physical condition of the user is realized. Further, by storing the daily physical condition of the user in the user terminal 600, the user can finely reflect the change in the physical condition of the user in the extraction conditions of the object to be extracted.

The schematic block diagram of FIG. 26 represents a functional unit in the CPU 601 of the user terminal 600. The CPU 601 of the user terminal 600 includes an extracted information acquisition unit 610, an extracted information transmission unit 620, a user extraction information acquisition unit 630, a user preference analysis unit 640, a proposal information generation unit 650, and the like.

In a configuration in which the beverage extraction device 1 or the beverage extraction device 2 of the user terminal cooperation type embodiment cooperates with the user terminal 600 to transmit and receive, the functional unit in the CPU 301 of the control unit 35 is shown as a schematic block diagram of FIG. 27. Will be done. The CPU 301 of the control unit 35 includes an information acquisition unit 310, an analysis unit 320, a temperature control unit 330, a drive mode storage unit 340, a selection unit 350, a motor control unit 360, a liquid quality control unit 370, and an embedded unit 380. Be prepared.

The object to be extracted information acquisition unit 610 acquires the information to be extracted including the type of the object to be extracted and the extraction conditions of the object to be extracted. Specifically, the user accesses a website for selling the extract (tea leaves, coffee, etc.) from the user terminal 600, and the user purchases the desired type of extract (for example, jasmine tea) from the website. At that time, individual specific extract information such as extraction conditions (85 ° C., 2 minutes) for the extract (jasmine tea) is acquired and accumulated on the user terminal 600 side.

The extract subject information transmission unit 620 transmits the extract subject information to the communication unit 500 of the beverage extraction device 1 or the beverage extraction device 2. As described above, the type, variety, and brand of the newly sold extract, and the extract information including the extraction temperature and the extraction time suitable for each are sequentially stored in the storage unit of the beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2. It is stored and accumulated in 36.

In order for the beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2 to utilize the object information stored and accumulated in the storage unit 36, the control unit 35 of the beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2 includes a built-in unit 380 (FIG. FIG. See 27). The embedding unit 380 incorporates the object to be extracted information into the corresponding table. Then, with respect to the subject to be newly added due to new sales or the like, the extract information is accurately reflected in the operation control of the motor 55 of the beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2. Therefore, even if the types and extraction methods of new commercially available objects to be extracted increase daily, it is possible to flexibly deal with them.

Further, the extraction conditions of the object to be extracted in the beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2 can be transmitted to the user terminal 600 to feed back the preference to the device side. Therefore, the control unit 35 of the beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2 transmits the conditions for extracting the object to be extracted to the user terminal 600 via the communication unit 500. The user has information on the quality of the extraction conditions proposed to the user from the beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2, and further, the extraction conditions proposed to the user from the beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2 side. It is possible to add information on extraction conditions of preference different from that of. Taking green tea as an example, users have a wide range of tastes, from astringent tastes extracted at high temperatures to sweet tastes extracted at low temperatures. That is, the function of correcting the extraction condition is added in conjunction with the user's preference.

The user extraction information acquisition unit 630 of the user terminal 600 acquires user preferences. Specifically, it is an impression and a preference when the beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2 extract a certain object to be extracted to finish the beverage. Of course, various external information at this time is also integrated together.

The image diagram of FIG. 28 is an example of a scene in which a user's preference (taste impression) is input to the display unit 607 of the user terminal 600. On the screen, "Type: Green tea / Sencha (Company P)" as the extract is displayed, and "Temperature: 25 ° C., Humidity: 80%, Atmospheric pressure: 990 hPa, Pulse: 70 times / minute" is displayed as external information. .. Then, "80 ° C., 60 seconds" is displayed as the extraction condition. And, the adjustment scale of the taste of "dark >> light" is also displayed. If the user prefers a bit more astringency, the user taps "dark" on the screen with the finger F to input the user preference of taste to the user terminal 600.

The user preference analysis unit 640 of the user terminal 600 analyzes the user preference. The analysis of user preference is adjusted exclusively by adjusting the extraction amount of the object to be extracted. According to an example of the user's operation on the image of FIG. 28, it is found that the user prefers a stronger preference than the standard extraction conditions of the object to be extracted. If the user prefers a strong taste, the standard extraction conditions are changed to conditions for increasing the extraction temperature and extending the extraction time.

The proposal information generation unit 650 of the user terminal 600 generates the conditions for extracting the object to be extracted corresponding to the user's preference as the proposal information. In the proposal information generation unit 650, information on the adjustment of the temperature with respect to the standard extraction temperature of the object to be extracted and the adjustment of the time with respect to the standard extraction time is generated as the proposal information from the preference of the shade of taste based on the user's preference. Then, the proposal information is transmitted from the user terminal 600 to the beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2. The proposed information for each object to be extracted is stored and stored in the storage unit 36 of the beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2, and when the user extracts the beverage from the same object to be extracted again, the initial conditions of the object to be extracted are set. Temperature and time corrections are added.

According to the above-mentioned example of the object to be extracted "type: green tea / sencha", the standard extraction condition is "80 ° C., 60 seconds". On the other hand, when user preference is taken into consideration, for example, a correction of temperature: + 3 ° C. and time: + 10 seconds is added from the standard extraction conditions such as the extraction condition "83 ° C., 70 seconds". In this way, a beverage that more closely matches the taste of the user is extracted, and personalization of the beverage is realized.

The image example of FIG. 29 is an input example of the user's current psychological and physical condition and a drinking scene. "(1) Psychological state" is a question of the user's current psychological state. The higher the tension, the closer to "-3", and the higher the relaxation, the closer to "+2". The user can enter the position of the score at an appropriate scale position.

"(2) Pulse" is a question of the user's current physical condition. In the case of input from the measurement result by the user himself, the corresponding frame is selected (tapped). Alternatively, in the case of detection by the device sensor unit 400 and further by the user terminal 600, the detection result is automatically selected. In this example, the higher the pulse, the higher the score of "-2", and conversely, the lower the pulse, the higher the score of "+2".

For "(3) Drinking scene", the state of the user's extract during drinking or the state after drinking is selected. For example, the score is "-2" during work and "+2" before going to bed. Of course, the scene is not limited to the six types shown in the figure, and may be further expanded.

That is, the user may finally reach the score corresponding to "(3) Drinking scene" by drinking the extract. Therefore, even if the current user's "(1) psychological state" and "(2) pulse" cannot be changed, it is possible to adjust the degree of tension or relaxation through the extraction conditions of the extract. Generally, in the case of tea, the sympathetic nerve is enhanced by extracting it deeply, and the parasympathetic nerve is enhanced by extracting it thinly. Therefore, scores are sequentially assigned according to the object to be extracted and the extraction conditions thereof.

The relational expression is "(1) score" + "(2) score" + "score according to the object to be extracted and its extraction conditions" = "(3) score for drinking scenes". For example, if the score of "(1) psychological state" is "0", the score of "(2) pulse" is "-1", and "during a break" is selected in "(3) drinking scene", the score is selected. It is "+1". In order to finally match the score "+1" of "during break", the "score according to the object to be extracted and its extraction conditions" is "+2". From this result of "+2", the extraction conditions (time, temperature, motor drive) for the extraction of the object to be extracted are changed from the standard extraction conditions.

Also in the case of the image example of FIG. 29, the proposal information generation unit 650 proposes information on the adjustment of the temperature with respect to the standard extraction temperature of the object to be extracted and the adjustment of the time with respect to the standard extraction time from the selection of the drinking scene of the user. Generated as information. Then, the proposal information is transmitted from the user terminal 600 to the beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2. The proposed information for each object to be extracted is stored and stored in the storage unit 36 of the beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2, and when the user extracts the beverage from the same object to be extracted again, the initial conditions of the object to be extracted are set. Temperature and time corrections are added. In this way, the beverage that more closely matches the drinking scene of the user's object to be extracted is extracted, and the personalization of the beverage is realized.

Using the flowchart of FIG. 30, the flow of the beverage extraction method in the control unit 35 of the beverage extraction device 1 and the beverage extraction device 2 linked with the user terminal will be described. The processing of the beverage extraction method of the embodiment includes an information acquisition step (S310), an analysis step (S320), a temperature control step (S330), a drive mode storage step (S340), an incorporation step (S380), and a selection step (S350). , The process proceeds in the order of the motor control step (S360). If necessary, the treatment of the liquid quality adjusting step (S370) is also added. The results of various data, calculations, calculations and the like generated in the processing of each step are stored in the RAM 303 or the storage unit 36. Here, the process in the embedding step (S380) corresponds to the description of the embedding unit 380. Since the specific processing in each step corresponds to each of the above-mentioned parts, the details will be omitted.
