Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Field of Application> The present invention relates to a novel wagon type coffee supply device.

The purpose is to provide a device that allows coffee extraction to be performed by moving it to a required place without limiting it to a certain place, and allowing the user to see through the extraction situation. It is in.

<Prior art> The conventional method of providing coffee beverages is that the customers and coffee making places, which are found in coffee shops, are separated from each other. , Customers are waiting to be made and drink what arrives, and those that sell cans and paper packs in vending machines, also vending machines but instant coffee liquid and ground beans (regular It was a paper cup provided / installed type that sells while extracting coffee).

As with other beverages, coffee tends to be drunk in an atmosphere. Nowadays, with the remarkable diversification of dietary habits, the above-mentioned method of providing coffee, which is still old-fashioned, is not enough. Now that consumers have become more oriented toward high-class and genuine products for everything,
The fact that conventional sales forms are becoming more remote from consumers has been demonstrated in vending machines for canned coffee. Therefore, an automatic vending machine has been developed, in which instant coffee liquid (provided by a paper cup) appears after cans and paper packs, and regular coffee is extracted and sold.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> The device developed so far that can automatically extract coffee and provide it in a paper cup, etc., compared to selling cans and paper packs, It can be said that it is aimed at a high-class oriented type. However, the device is a static type installed in a certain place, and even though the extraction is done inside the device, only the coffee in a paper cup is provided to the user. The fact is not confirmed, and it is often understood that the concentrate is merely diluted with hot water inside. In particular, what must be taken into consideration together with the enhancement of high-grade directivity is that the user always cares about whether or not hygiene is maintained in the device. However, the devices that have been developed so far have the drawback that the user who manages them cannot trust them, and that the user cannot confirm that. Also, it takes some time to grind and extract the coffee beans each time the customer orders, but it is necessary to devise a method that keeps the customer from getting tired during this waiting time.

<Means for Solving Problems> The present invention can be used in any place, not limited to a fixed place, by matching the atmosphere, genuine orientation, and high-grade directivity required by the user. A grinder between the trolley base (2) of the wagon equipped with wheels (1) and the top coffee canister (3). (4) and transparent extraction part
(5) and are arranged.

The transparent extraction section (5) here is provided with a hot water supply nozzle (9) and a powder supply port (10) on the upper part, and the filter (13) is a lees shoot (12).
A transparent extractor (8) that reciprocates between and the extractor (8)
A structure having a transparent fixed amount discharge cylinder (17) communicating with the above can be exemplified. Further, the degree of transparency does not need to be purely transparent, and even the case where it is semi-transparent and the internal condition can be observed is included in the present invention.

<Operation> Since this device is a wagon type, it can be moved to the desired place of use, and the transparent extraction unit allows you to actually see the extraction process to enhance the atmosphere and match the orientation of the real thing. This has the effect of allowing the user to know the process of coffee extraction and how hygiene is maintained.

<Example> An example of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an exemplary perspective view of the device of the present invention. FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the extraction part, and FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b) are perspective views showing the operating state of the constant amount discharge cylinder.

This device is equipped with a coin slot (6) on the side of a cart base (2) of a wagon equipped with wheels (1), and is equipped with a coin mechanism inside. The device is intended for automatic vending, and the coin mechanism is omitted when only in-house coffee is provided. The wheel (1) can be used even for general purpose casters for the purpose of movement, but here it is a relatively large wheel to give a lightweight movement and a high-class image, and to enhance aesthetics. It has a spoke structure.

The uppermost coffee canister (3) and the lower grinder (4) have the function of stocking the roasted coffee beans by the former, and the latter having the function of grinding it by a preset amount. In this respect, the same structure as the conventional one can be adopted. For the purposes of the present invention, the coffee canister (3) is preferably transparent.

The transparent extraction part (5) is the most important part that satisfies the so-called genuine orientation of the user. Therefore, in the present invention, all the members constituting this portion are made transparent. Transparent extraction part
The hot water supplied to (5) is the extractor of the transparent extraction part (5) from the hot water supply part (7) provided at the upper rear part (right side in the figure) of the bogie base.
It is led to the hot water supply nozzle (9) by the hot water supply nozzle (9). Transparent Extractor (8)
A powder supply port (10) provided below the grinder (4) is provided above the hot water supply nozzle (9).

A metal filter is used as the filter (13) for the coffee excess. The filter (13) can be replaced with another material such as glass or paper. The filter (13) can be moved up and down above the extractor (8) as shown in FIG. 2, and can be rotated between the extractor (8) and a lees shoot (12) provided near it. You can go back and forth. The support arm (18) of the filter (13) can be moved up and down and rotated, and the support arm (18) can be moved above the lees shoot (12).
You can invert and discard the lees. Rice cake shoot (1
A hot water supply nozzle (9) is also provided on the upper part of (2) so that the filter can be washed. The meal chute (12) is connected to a stocker provided inside the trolley, and the meal and washing water are stored therein.

The passed coffee is discharged from the discharge pipe (14) by the fixed discharge cylinder (17) connected to the extractor (8), and the counter (1
5) Feed into upper cup (16). Constant discharge cylinder
As shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b), (17) is a structure in which a piston capable of adjusting the coffee discharge amount inside a transparent cylinder can be moved forward and backward, and a heater (19 ) Is provided so that hot coffee can always be served.

The apparatus of the present invention having the above-described structure is capable of computer control such as sequence control. Generally, it is said that the most delicious extraction method of coffee is to first pour hot water onto the coffee powder and let it swell for a while, and then pour hot water in 2 to 3 times to extract. . Up to now, automated devices have not paid sufficient attention to this point. Therefore, in the present invention, the canister
Put the desired amount of coffee beans from (3) to the grinder (4), grinder
