DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In addition, the same code | symbol is used regarding the same structure as the past.
FIG. 1 shows a cup-type beverage vending machine capable of producing a frozen beverage having a good taste and a refreshing feeling as an example according to an embodiment of the present invention.
In FIG. 1, an ice making machine 1 for storing ice produced by cooling drinking water supplied from a water supply device (not shown), and an ice making machine 1 according to instructions from a control unit (not shown). The ice discharge port 2 for discharging the ice to be discharged (the ice making device 1 and the ice discharge port 2 constitute an ice supply device), the ice distribution device 3 for distributing the supply destination of the ice discharged from the ice discharge port 2, and the ice distribution device 3 When it is tilted in the right direction indicated by a solid line in the figure, ice is supplied to an ice processing supply device 4 described later, and when it is tilted in the left direction indicated by a dotted line in the figure, the cup C Ice distribution mechanism 3a for supplying ice to ice, ice processing supply device 4 for finely processing the ice distributed and supplied by ice distribution device 3, and shooter 5 for guiding the ice finely processed by ice processing supply device 4 to cup C (ice processing) The ice processing supply device is constituted by the supply device 4 and the shooter 5. ), A syrup tank 6 for storing syrup, a raw material box 7 for storing powdered raw materials such as sugar, cream and instant coffee or cocoa, a heater (not shown) inside, and drinking water supplied from a water supply device is approximately 97 ° C. A hot water tank 8 for storing hot water while maintaining the temperature, a coffee bean container, a coffee mill for grinding coffee beans, a coffee extraction unit for extracting coffee with ground beans ground by the coffee mill and hot water supplied from the hot water tank 8, The coffee cooking part 9 which incorporates, the syrup and coffee supplied to the cup C, and the stirring apparatus 10 which has the stirring blade 11 which stirs ice.
[0011]
The operation of the above configuration will be described below. When a frozen drink sales command is output, first, a cup C is supplied from a cup supply device (not shown), and syrup is supplied from the syrup tank 6 to the cup C. At the same time, the ice sorting mechanism 3a of the ice sorting device 3 is tilted to the right as shown by the solid line in the figure, and the ice discharged from the ice discharge port 2 is sorted and supplied to the ice processing and feeding device 4 by the ice sorting device 3. The ice processing supply device 4 finely processes the supplied ice and supplies it to the cup C from the shooter 5. In this way, the syrup and finely processed ice are supplied to the cup C, and then the stirring blade 11 of the stirring device 10 is inserted into the cup C and rotated to agitate and mix the syrup and the finely processed ice. A frozen beverage with a good mouthfeel and a refreshing feeling is completed and delivered from a sales outlet (not shown).
[0012]
In addition, as means for processing ice finely (for example, ice having a size of about a grain of rice) with the ice processing supply device 4, the ice is shaved and processed into fine ice (shaved ice). However, the purpose of processing ice finely is to produce a frozen beverage with a good taste, and the method of finely processing ice is not limited to this. Needless to say, if it can be processed into ice of a size suitable for producing a good frozen beverage, it will not be bound by processing means.
Moreover, since the mouthfeel of the frozen beverage can be changed by changing the size of the ice processed finely by the ice processing / supplying device 4, the types of the frozen beverages with different mouthfeel can be increased.
[0013]
Furthermore, although it explained in the Example of the cup-type drink vending machine which stirs the syrup and the finely processed ice, and produces the frozen drink with a pleasant taste and a refreshing feeling, it is fine with the coffee cooked in the coffee cooking part 9. The processed ice is agitated to produce a frozen beverage with a pleasant mouthfeel and a refreshing sensation. In addition, the powdered raw material (for example, cocoa) in the raw material box 7 and hot water supplied from the hot water tank 8 are mixed with a mixing ball (not shown). It goes without saying that it can be applied to a cup-type beverage vending machine capable of producing a frozen beverage having a good mouthfeel and a refreshing sensation by stirring the beverage mixed and cooked in) and finely processed ice.
[0014]
Next, when a cold drink sales command is output, the cup C is supplied from a cup supply device (not shown), syrup is supplied from the syrup tank 6, and drinking water is supplied from the water supply device to the cup C. At the same time, the ice sorting mechanism 3a of the ice sorting device 3 is tilted to the left as indicated by the dotted line in the figure. When the stirring blade 11 of the stirring device 10 is inserted into the cup C supplied with the syrup and drinking water and rotated, the syrup and drinking water are stirred to become a mixed solution. When the stirring is completed, the rotation of the stirring blade 11 is stopped. At the same time, the ice is discharged from the ice discharge port 2 and distributed to the cup C by the ice distribution device 3. In this way, when ice is put into the cup C containing the mixed liquid of syrup and drinking water, and the stirring blade 11 is further rotated, a cold beverage containing ice with a large size is completed and delivered from the sales outlet. It is.
[0015]
As described above, in the cup-type beverage vending machine provided with the stirring blade 11 for stirring the beverage supplied to the cup C, the ice making machine 1 and the ice discharge port 2 (ice making machine 1 and ice drainage) for supplying ice are provided. The ice supply device is configured at the outlet 2), and the ice processing supply device 4 and the shooter 5 that finely process the ice discharged from the ice discharge port 2 and supply the ice to the cup C (the ice processing supply device 4 and the shooter 5 serve ice The ice and the ice supplied to the cup C by the shooter 5 and the beverage are stirred by the stirring blade 11 to produce a frozen beverage. Thus, it is possible to realize a cup-type beverage vending machine capable of producing a frozen beverage having a good taste and a refreshing feeling.
[0016]
The ice processing and supply device 4 realizes a cup-type beverage vending machine that can produce frozen beverage per mouth mixed with shaved ice and beverage by scraping the ice discharged from the ice discharge port 2 to make fine ice. It becomes possible to do.
The ice processing and supply device 4 is a cup-type beverage vending machine capable of producing a frozen beverage per mouth mixed with glazed ice and beverage by crushing the ice discharged from the ice discharge port 2 to make fine ice. It can be realized.
A cup-type beverage automatic device is provided by providing an ice sorting device 3 at the rear of the ice discharge port 2 to distribute and supply the ice supplied from the ice discharge port 2 to either the cup C or the ice processing supply device 4. With a vending machine, it is possible to manufacture and sell cold beverages containing large sized ice, and frozen beverages that are finely processed ice and that have a palatable and refreshing feeling.
[0017]
In a cup-type beverage vending machine that sells cup-cooked beverages cooked in a vending machine, an ice making machine 1 that supplies ice and an ice discharge port 2 (the ice making device 1 and the ice discharge port 2 constitute an ice supply device); An ice processing supply device 4 and a shooter 5 (which constitutes an ice processing supply device) are provided that finely process the ice discharged from the ice discharge port 2 and supply it to the cup C.
