DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mixing ball of a cup-type vending machine for temporarily storing powdery raw material and hot water, flowing out from a lower portion after stirring, and selling it.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 2 shows a configuration diagram of a conventional example. This figure 2
In the figure, 1 is a mixing ball body for temporarily storing powder material and hot water and flowing out from the lower part after stirring, 2 is a lid of the mixing ball body 1, 2a is an inlet for powder material provided on the lid 2, and 2b is a lid. Hot water inlet provided in 2, 3
Denotes a shaft for transmitting the power of the motor 5 to the stirring blade 4, and 6 denotes a shooter for charging the powder material. In FIG. 2, powder raw materials such as coffee, sugar, and milk stored in a canister (not shown) are charged into the mixing ball main body 1 through an input port 2a of a lid 2, and hot water is also stored in a hot water tank (not shown). ) Through the inlet 2b, the stirring blades 4 are rotated by the motor 5 via the shaft 3, and the powdered raw materials such as coffee, sugar, milk and the like are stirred and mixed.

[0003] The powdered raw material and the hot water are stirred and mixed, and the cooked coffee beverage flows out from the lower portion of the mixing ball body 1 and is poured into a cup. When cleaning the inside of the mixing ball main body 1, the lid 2 of the mixing ball main body 1 is opened.

[0004]

When a vending machine is supplied with powdered raw material, a routeman (a serviceman who supplies powdered raw material and collects sales proceeds) removes the lid and cleans the inside of the mixing ball. are doing. In addition to this cleaning, automatic cleaning is performed in which hot water is periodically stored in a mixing ball, and the inside is cleaned by stirring the hot water with stirring blades. The hot water used for this automatic cleaning is not used for selling beverages, but is drained into a drain bucket after washing.Therefore, it is necessary to increase the capacity of the drain bucket accordingly. There is a problem to take.

An object of the present invention is to provide a mixing ball for a cup-type vending machine in which the inside is washed every time a beverage is sold, instead of the automatic washing in which hot water is periodically stored to wash the inside.

[0006]

The present invention provides a powder raw material,
A mixing ball body for temporarily storing hot water and flowing out from the lower portion after stirring, a powder material, a stirring blade for stirring the hot water, and a motor for rotating the stirring blade via a shaft,
With a powder raw material inlet, and a lid having a hot water inlet,
In the mixing ball of a cup-type vending machine, which stirs and mixes powdered raw materials and hot water at the time of selling beverages and flows out from the lower part, a rotating body that blocks the runner at a position above the highest hot water level at the time of stirring is provided on the shaft Mixing balls for cup-type vending machines.

[0007]

[Function] When hot water is poured into a rotating body, the hot water is blown by the rotating body and scattered. Dissolve and cook into a beverage. Since the operation of applying hot water to the inner wall is performed every time the beverage is sold, the inner wall of the mixing ball body is washed with hot water every time the beverage is sold.

[0008]

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a main part of an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, members denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the conventional example have approximately the same functions, and therefore description thereof will be omitted. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a mixing ball main body which temporarily stores a powder raw material and hot water and flows out from a lower portion after stirring, 2 denotes a lid of the mixing ball main body 1, and 2a denotes a lid 2
2b is a hot water injection port provided on the lid 2, 3 is a shaft for transmitting the power of the motor 5 to the stirring blade 4, 6 is a shooter for charging the powder raw material, and 7 is a rotary. Show body. In FIG. 2, powder materials such as coffee, sugar and milk stored in a canister (not shown) are covered with a lid 2.
The hot water is supplied from the hot water tank (not shown) to the injection port 2b at the same time that
Of the mixing ball body 1, scatters in the circumferential direction, hits the inner wall of the mixing ball body 1, and accumulates at the lower portion along the inner wall. Is rotated, and powdered raw materials such as coffee, sugar, milk and the like are mixed with hot water.

The powdered raw material and hot water are stirred and mixed, and the cooked coffee beverage flows out from the lower portion of the mixing ball body 1 and is poured into a cup.

[0010]

According to the present invention, since the hot water is used to wash the inner wall of the mixing ball body 1 every time the beverage is sold, the mixing ball can be kept clean.
