Description

  The present invention relates to a soup beverage supply device that divides a soup beverage such as stew, soup, curry, miso soup, etc. contained in a container into a predetermined amount and provides it to a customer.

  For example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, a soup beverage supply device is known in which a soup beverage containing ingredients contained in a container is divided into predetermined amounts and distributed to tableware.

  In addition, for example, a container having a circular arc-shaped inner peripheral surface and an upper surface opening that can be heated, and a soup beverage drawn in the process of sliding the inner peripheral surface to one end, Also known is a soup beverage supply device comprising a handle rod mechanism that discharges the beverage to the outside of the container through the upper surface opening, and a drive portion that supplies a driving force for causing the handle rod mechanism to slide. ing. The sliding part in the handle mechanism mechanism forms, for example, a ladle having a soup beverage outlet. This ladle has, for example, a partition plate that allows the soup liquid to pass therethrough and separates the utensil from the soup liquid when the soup drink is accommodated therein. The soup drink in the container can be subdivided into dishes by scooping up at a rate.

Using such a soup beverage supply device, for example, in order to divide a soup beverage having a constant temperature for a user at all times, it is necessary to keep the temperature of the whole soup beverage in the container as uniform as possible before the division. There is. In addition, in order to subdivide the soup beverage in which the ratio of the above-mentioned ingredient and soup liquid is always kept constant to the user, the ingredients of the whole soup drink in the container and the soup liquid must be It is necessary to keep the ratio as uniform as possible. Furthermore, if the container is made of metal, for example, the temperature of the soup beverage is likely to be uniform due to the fact that the overall temperature tends to be uniform, but the soup beverage at the interface between the inner peripheral surface of the container and the soup beverage. There is a risk of burning. In order to always subdivide a soup beverage having a predetermined temperature and quantity while preventing this scorching, the soup beverage supply device, for example, is in a mode in which soup beverage is not discharged (before subdivision), the ladle is placed inside. A control unit that controls the drive unit to reciprocate between predetermined positions on the peripheral surface is provided. That is, the soup beverage in the container is agitated.
Japanese Patent No. 3449554

  However, even using the above-described soup beverage supply device, it is difficult to divide various types of soup beverages in a non-burning state while always maintaining a predetermined temperature and amount of ingredients.

  For example, when the above-described stirring is similarly performed on a thick soup drink and a thick soup drink, the temperature of the thick soup drink is higher than the temperature of the less thick soup drink. There is a risk that the uniformity of each sale will be reduced by the amount that is difficult to convey. In addition, for example, it may be more difficult to keep the ratio of the ingredient and the soup liquid in a small soup drink for each sale than in the case of a soup drink with a large ingredient. Furthermore, for example, when the above-described stirring is uniformly performed while heating the soup beverage to a predetermined temperature in a metal container, there is a possibility of over-stirring at a low temperature at which it is difficult to cause scorching, and a high temperature at which scorching is likely to occur. Sometimes stirring may not be sufficient. Furthermore, for example, some soup beverages are hard at relatively low temperatures and difficult to stir. In summary, there arises a problem that the quality of the subdivided soup beverage is lowered depending on the kind of the soup beverage and the heating method.

  In addition, soup beverages may contain fine ingredients and extracts, and when a ladle slides in the direction of its mouth with respect to such soup drinks, the fine ingredients and extracts are ladle. It is easy to invade the back of. Therefore, ingredients and extracts accumulate in the back of the ladle, and the amount of soup liquid in the ladle may be relatively reduced. Even if the ladle has the partition plate described above, these utensils and extracts easily pass through the partition plate, and once it enters the back of the ladle, the partition plate causes flow in the opposite direction. It is blocked and it becomes difficult to be discharged to the mouth side. Therefore, there is a possibility that the amount of soup liquid in the ladle will be smaller. For this reason, the problem that the quality of the subdivided soup drink falls by the kind of soup drink arises. On the other hand, in order to prevent this, it is necessary to remove deposits in the ladle by frequent cleaning or the like, but this operation has a problem that it is complicated.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and the object of the present invention is to subdivide the soup beverage while maintaining its quality easily, regardless of the type of the soup beverage or how to heat it. There is to do.

In addition, the invention for solving the above-mentioned problems has an arc-shaped inner peripheral surface, a topable opening provided from at least one end of the inner peripheral surface, and a heatable container in which a soup beverage is accommodated, The soup beverage is pumped in the process of sliding the inner peripheral surface to the one end portion, and the soup beverage pumped at the one end position of the inner peripheral surface is passed through the upper surface opening of the container. A handle for squeezing outward, and a drive unit for supplying a driving force for causing the handle to slide with respect to the handle. in soup beverage supply device for reciprocally sliding between the predetermined position of the part on the inner peripheral surface, when the container is heated, the hand as the temperature of the soup beverage contained in the container is increased, the dipper mechanism Part is the inner peripheral surface To speed up the time of reciprocation between a predetermined position of, characterized by comprising a control unit, for controlling the drive unit.

  Further, in the soup beverage supply device, the control unit stops the reciprocating sliding operation between the predetermined positions on the inner peripheral surface when the temperature of the soup beverage is equal to or lower than a predetermined temperature. Is preferable.

  According to this soup beverage supply device, the control unit can change the speed at which the handle mechanism mechanism reciprocally slides between predetermined positions on the inner peripheral surface according to the temperature of the soup beverage contained in the container. Therefore, the drive unit can be controlled. Moreover, as the temperature of the soup beverage increases, the handle mechanism mechanism can reciprocate faster between predetermined positions on the inner peripheral surface. In addition, when the temperature of the soup beverage is equal to or lower than the predetermined temperature, the handle mechanism unit may not perform the above-described reciprocating sliding operation. Thereby, for example, while heating the soup beverage to a predetermined temperature in a metal container, stirring can be suppressed at a low temperature at which burning is difficult to occur, and stirring can be promoted at a high temperature at which burning is likely to occur. Therefore, since the soup beverage can be effectively stirred depending on how to heat it, the soup beverage can be easily subdivided while maintaining its quality.

In addition, the invention for solving the above-mentioned problems has an arc-shaped inner peripheral surface, a topable opening provided from at least one end of the inner peripheral surface, and a heatable container in which a soup beverage is accommodated, The soup beverage is pumped in the process of sliding the inner peripheral surface to the one end portion, and the soup beverage pumped at the one end position of the inner peripheral surface is passed through the upper surface opening of the container. A handle for squeezing outward, and a drive unit for supplying a driving force for causing the handle to slide with respect to the handle. in soup beverage supply device for reciprocally sliding between the predetermined position of the part on the inner peripheral surface, when the container is heated, the hand as the temperature of the soup beverage contained in the container is increased, the dipper mechanism Part is the inner peripheral surface To increase the frequency of reciprocation between a predetermined position of, characterized by comprising a control unit, for controlling the drive unit.

  According to this soup beverage supply device, the control unit can change the frequency at which the handle rod mechanism portion reciprocates between predetermined positions on the inner peripheral surface according to the temperature of the soup beverage contained in the container. The drive unit can be controlled. Moreover, as the temperature of the soup beverage increases, the handle mechanism mechanism can slide back and forth more frequently between predetermined positions on the inner peripheral surface. Thereby, for example, while heating the soup beverage to a predetermined temperature in a metal container, stirring can be suppressed at a low temperature at which burning is difficult to occur, and stirring can be promoted at a high temperature at which burning is likely to occur. Therefore, since the soup beverage can be effectively stirred depending on how to heat it, the soup beverage can be easily subdivided while maintaining its quality.

  In addition, the invention for solving the above problems includes an arc-shaped inner peripheral surface, a top opening provided from at least one end of the inner peripheral surface, a container for containing a soup beverage, and the inner periphery The soup drink is drawn up in the process of sliding the surface to the one end, and the soup drink taken out at the one end position of the inner peripheral surface is discharged to the outside of the container through the upper surface opening. A handle for supplying the driving force for causing the handle to slide, and when the mode is a mode in which the soup beverage is not discharged, the handle for the handle In the soup beverage supply device that reciprocates between predetermined positions on the inner peripheral surface, the handle mechanism mechanism reciprocates between predetermined positions on the inner peripheral surface, and moves out of the predetermined positions. Slide toward the other end of the inner surface To repeat the operation for, characterized by comprising a control unit, for controlling the drive unit.

  According to this soup beverage supply device, the control unit moves the handle pattern mechanism unit back and forth between predetermined positions on the inner peripheral surface and moves away from the predetermined position toward the other end of the inner peripheral surface. The driving unit can be controlled to repeat the sliding operation. In this way, when the sliding portion of the handle rod mechanism portion forms, for example, a ladle, for example, the bowl or extract in the ladle is located at the end located at a position higher than the predetermined position, and the soup of the container. It becomes easy to fall into the beverage, and thus it is difficult to deposit in the ladle. Therefore, there is no risk of a relative decrease in the amount of soup liquid in the ladle due to such ingredients and extracts, and the quality of the soup beverage subdivided by this ladle is maintained. Moreover, if the accumulation is difficult to occur, there is no need to clean the inside of the ladle. Therefore, the soup beverage can be subdivided easily while maintaining its quality.

Further, in the soup beverage supply device, the control unit slides toward the other end portion of the inner peripheral surface with the handle mechanism mechanism disengaging from the predetermined position according to the type of the soup beverage. It is preferable that the speed at the time of performing is variable.
According to this soup beverage supply device, for example, the more the soup beverage contains more ingredients, extract, etc., the more the handle is moved away from the predetermined position toward the other end of the inner peripheral surface. Can slide faster. In this way, when the inner peripheral surface side of the handle rod mechanism portion forms a ladle, for example, the ladle slides faster, so that it becomes difficult for deposits, extracts, and the like to accumulate in the inner portion.

Further, in the soup beverage supply device, the control unit slides toward the other end portion of the inner peripheral surface with the handle mechanism mechanism disengaging from the predetermined position according to the type of the soup beverage. It is preferable to change the frequency of the operation.
According to this soup beverage supply device, for example, the more the soup beverage contains more ingredients, extract, etc., the more the handle is moved away from the predetermined position toward the other end of the inner peripheral surface. Can be slid more frequently. In this way, when the inner peripheral surface side of the handle rod mechanism part forms a ladle, for example, the ladle slides at a higher frequency, so that it becomes difficult to deposit ingredients, extracts, and the like in the inner part thereof.

Further, in the soup beverage supply device, when the control part finishes sliding toward the other end portion of the inner peripheral surface after the handle part mechanism part is removed from between the predetermined positions, the handle part mechanism part Is preferably suspended.
According to this soup beverage supply device, when the inner peripheral surface side of the handle mechanism part forms a ladle, for example, the inner part of the handle is temporarily stopped at the other end of the inner peripheral surface by removing the ladle from a predetermined position. Ingredients, extracts and the like are more likely to fall into the soup beverage in the container and become more difficult to accumulate.

Moreover, in such a soup beverage supply apparatus, it is preferable that the control unit makes the time during which the handle rod mechanism unit temporarily stops variable according to the type of the soup beverage.
According to this soup beverage supply device, for example, the more the soup beverage contains more ingredients, extracts, etc., the longer the ladle can be suspended at the end for a longer time. If it does in this way, it will become difficult to deposit ingredients, an extract, etc. in the inner part.

  According to the present invention, the soup beverage can be subdivided easily while maintaining its quality, regardless of the type of the soup beverage and how to heat it.

Further, on the upper part of the ladle 11, connection pins 36 a and 36 b fitted into the connection holes 52 a and 52 b of the swing arm member 12 are provided so as to protrude from the connection plate 37. And this link mechanism part 8 can be disassembled easily by removing the connection of each part which comprises this.

  The link mechanism portion 8 is rotatably supported at both ends of the rotating shaft 9 by a U-shaped groove portion 6 provided on the side surface portion 5c of the container 5 so as to be rotatable within the container 5. It is. Further, at one end of the rotating shaft 9, there is provided a flat connecting plate 24 that is connected to a driving device 26 disposed on the upper lid portion 2 and rotates the link mechanism portion 8 back and forth. The connecting plate 24 has a groove 24a for engaging with a driving connecting pin 30a of a driving device 26 described later.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the ladle 11 is formed in a bag shape with an opening 11a on one side, and a soup container 11b for pumping up soup beverage is provided therein. In addition, an air hole 11c is provided in the upper part of the ladle 11 for allowing the air inside the soup beverage to escape outside when the soup beverage is accommodated in the soup accommodating portion 11b. And the soup accommodating part 11b is provided with the partition plate 38 which partitions it into the opening 11a side and the back side. A scraper 39 that abuts against the bottom surface 5 b of the container 5 is provided at the bottom of the ladle 11.

  The scraper 39 is formed so that its bottom 39a is along the bottom surface 5b of the container 5, and when the link mechanism 8 rotates in the container 5, the bottom 39a is in wide contact with the bottom 5b of the container 5, It slides on the bottom surface portion 5b. Further, the rear portion 39b of the scraper 39 is formed to protrude rearward in a wedge shape so as to cover the rear portion 11d of the ladle 11. Therefore, when the ladle 11 is rotated backward on the side opposite to the opening 11a, the ladle 11 can be rotated with less resistance to the soup beverage in the container 5. At this time, the ladle 11 is rotated by scraping the ingredients mixed in the soup beverage in the container 5 by the wedge shape of the rear part thereof, so that the ingredients are not scooped up on the outer shell such as the upper part or the rear part of the ladle 11. .

  In addition, the partition plate 38 includes a planar partition surface portion 38a that partitions the soup accommodating portion 11b into the opening 11a side and the back side, and a folded piece portion 38b that is formed by bending both upper sides of the partition surface portion 38a to the back side. .

Further, a stopper portion 38d is formed on the back side of the upper end of the folded piece portion 38b so as to contact the upper portion of the ladle 11 and restrict the rotation of the partition plate 38 from the partition position to the back side. Since the partition plate 38 is thus configured, the partition plate 38 is rotatable about the support shaft 41 toward the opening 11a. Further, since the center of gravity of the partition plate 38 formed in this way is located at a position closer to the opening 11a side from the support shaft 41, this partition plate 38 is located at the back of the soup container 11b as shown by an arrow A in FIG.

And when rotating inside the container 5 toward the hopper 40, the soup beverage is contained on the opening 11a side of the partition surface portion 38a of the soup containing portion 11b, and the soup liquid is contained on the back side thereof. Pump the soup beverage at a constant ratio between the soup beverage ingredients and the soup liquid. Here, the ladle 11 includes a plurality of partition plate mounting portions 11e for mounting the partition plate 38, and is configured to be able to change the partition position of the partition plate 38 that partitions the soup container 11b. Therefore, it is possible to change the ratio of the soup beverage ingredient and soup liquid stored in the soup container 11b in the ladle 11 by changing the partition position of the partition plate 38 as required. In addition, it is also possible to change the amount of soup beverage to be pumped by the ladle 11 by detachably installing a spacer (not shown) in the soup container 11b so that the content can be adjusted.

  The driving device 26 provided in the upper lid 2 includes a driving motor 28, a driving arm 27 fixed to the rotating shaft 28a of the driving motor 28, and a driving link pivotally supported at one end on the tip of the driving arm 27.

  As illustrated in the block diagram of FIG. 10, the soup beverage supply device of the present embodiment is heated in addition to the main control unit 200 for controlling the operation of the drive motor 28 and the heating device 22 described above. A control unit 220, a drive motor control unit 280, an input / output control unit 310, and the like are provided.

  The main control unit 200 controls the soup beverage supply device. In addition to the CPU 201, the ROM 203, RAM 205, counter 207 (first counter 207a, second counter 207b), timer 209 (first timer 209a, And a second timer 209b). In the present embodiment, not only the main control unit 200 but also the heating control unit 220, the drive motor control unit 280, the input / output control unit 310, and the like each have a CPU. However, the present invention is limited to such a configuration. It is not a thing. For example, the CPU 201 of the main control unit 200 is a single CPU that has the functions of the CPUs of the above-described units 220, 280, and 310. A heating device 22, a temperature sensor 221, a drive motor 28, and a micro switch 281, which will be described later. Alternatively, the control panel 31 or the like may be directly controlled.

  The CPU 201 controls the drive motor control unit 280 based on an appropriate program stored in the ROM 203, for example, and causes the drive motor 28, which is a DC motor equipped with an appropriate pulse encoder, at a predetermined time interval in a predetermined rotation direction. It is rotated by a predetermined number of pulses at a predetermined rotation speed. It should be noted that the following description of the number of pulses or the number of pulses of the drive motor 28 all means the number of pulses generated by this pulse encoder. As will be described later, the predetermined time is measured by the first timer 209a, and the predetermined number of pulses is measured by the first counter 207a. Further, when the drive motor control unit 280 receives, for example, polarity and current value data from the CPU 201, the drive motor control unit 280 rotates the drive motor 28 in a rotation direction corresponding to the polarity at a rotation speed corresponding to the current value. is there. Note that the micro switch 281 illustrated in FIG. 10 is turned on when the ladle 11 is positioned at the lowest position in the vertical direction in the arcuate container 5, and is a base point signal for measuring the number of pulses of the drive motor 28. Is appropriately provided on the rotating shaft 28 a of the drive motor 28.

  Further, for example, the CPU 201 controls the heating control unit 220 based on an appropriate program stored in the ROM 203 and causes the heating device 22 to heat the container 5, while appropriately providing the temperature around the container 5. A sensor 221 detects the temperature of the soup beverage. The detection of the temperature of the soup beverage is based on the data detected by the temperature sensor 221.

  The ROM 203 is a reciprocating sliding mode (a mode in which soup is not discharged), and the current value that the CPU 201 transmits to the drive motor control unit 280 with respect to the temperature of the soup beverage detected by the temperature sensor 221 for each type of soup beverage. And the table data 203a for reciprocating sliding (see FIG. 11) in which the data for the time between the operations of one cycle in the reciprocating sliding mode are associated with each other. Here, the time between the operations of one cycle is measured by the second timer 209b.

  The reciprocating sliding table data 203a further includes a pulse of the drive motor 28 corresponding to the amplitude (predetermined position) of the reciprocating sliding of the ladle 11 with respect to the kind of soup beverage as a base point in the vertical direction. Numbers are associated. The number of pulses illustrated in FIG. 11 is, for example, the number of pulses when the number of pulses is 1 pulse per angle of 1 ° with the lowest in the vertical direction as a base point. Thus, for example, a “45” pulse corresponds to a position that forms an angle of 45 ° from the base point.

  Further, the table data 203a for reciprocal sliding further includes the rear of the container 5 from the bottom in the vertical direction with an amplitude larger than the amplitude (predetermined position) of the reciprocal sliding for the type of soup beverage. Data corresponding to the frequency of the operation of sliding the ladle 11 to the side (end sliding mode, mode not discharging soup) is associated. For example, in the reciprocating sliding mode, the ladle 11 slides from the lowest position in the vertical direction to a predetermined position on the rear side (number of pulses = N1) and then returns to the lowermost position. An operation of sliding back to the lowest position after sliding to the position (number of pulses = N1) is defined as one cycle of reciprocating sliding. On the other hand, for example, in the end sliding mode, the ladle 11 is slid from the lowermost part in the vertical direction to the higher predetermined position (pulse number = N2> N1) on the rear side and then folded back to the lowermost part. Next, an operation of sliding to the predetermined position on the front side (number of pulses = N1) and then returning to the lowest position is defined as one end sliding cycle. The frequency of the end sliding mode in this embodiment is the number of cycles of the reciprocating sliding mode operation that is executed before and after the end sliding mode operation is executed for one cycle. For example, “5” corresponds to executing one end slide every 5 cycles of reciprocating sliding, and “7” corresponds to executing 1 end sliding every 7 reciprocating slides. “1” corresponds to performing reciprocal sliding and end sliding alternately. The number of cycles is measured by the second counter 207b.

  The ROM 203 stores end sliding table data 203b (see FIG. 12). In the edge sliding table data 203b, as the above-described edge sliding mode, the ladle 11 slides from the lowest part in the vertical direction to a higher predetermined position (number of pulses = N2> N1) on the rear side. The data of the current value that the CPU 201 transmits to the drive motor control unit 280 and the data of the time when the current value once becomes zero at the end position are associated with the type of soup beverage. Here, the time for which the current value is zero is measured by the second timer 209b.

  The edge sliding table data 203b further associates the aforementioned pulse number N2 with the type of soup beverage. The number of pulses illustrated in FIG. 12 is also the number of pulses when, for example, one pulse per angle of 1 ° with the lowest vertical direction as a base point. Thus, for example, the “75” pulse corresponds to a position that forms an angle of 75 ° from the base point.

  The various parameters described above in the reciprocating sliding table data 203a (FIG. 11) and the end sliding table data 203b (FIG. 12) can be set by a setting button 33 provided on the control panel 31. .

  In addition, when an ON signal is received through the input / output control unit 310 from the fraction start switch 32 provided on the control panel 31, the CPU 201 performs the above-described reciprocating sliding mode or end sliding mode (a mode in which soup is not discharged). The above-described program is appropriately formed so that the drive motor control unit 280 is controlled by switching to the sub-minute mode (mode for discharging soup).

  Further, the RAM 205 stores, for example, data on the type of soup beverage set by an appropriate operation of the setting button 33 described above, temperature data measured by the temperature sensor 221 and the like.

=== Operation of Soup Beverage Supply Device ===
<<< Reciprocating sliding mode >>>
In the soup beverage supply apparatus having the above-described configuration, an operation of stirring the soup beverage accommodated in the container 5 will be described.

  First, it is assumed that the following preparation has been made in advance. Based on the amount of the ingredients contained in the soup beverage, the ratio of the soup beverage to be pumped by the ladle 11 and the soup liquid is determined, and the partition plate mounting portions 11c provided at a plurality of locations of the ladle 11 according to the ratio. It is assumed that a partition plate 38 is attached to one of these. Next, the link mechanism portion 8 to which the ladle 11 is attached is housed in the container 5, and the rotating shaft 9 of the link mechanism portion 8 is attached to the U-shaped groove portion 6 provided on the side surface portion 5 c of the container 5. Suppose that Next, it is assumed that the soup beverage is poured and contained in the container 5. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the ladle 11 is arranged in advance so as to be positioned at the lowest position in the vertical direction in the arcuate container 5.

  As illustrated in the flowchart of FIG. 13, first, the CPU 201 reads out the type of soup beverage stored in the RAM 205 (S300). It is assumed that the type of the soup drink is set in advance by an appropriate operation of the setting button 32 provided on the control panel 31, and this data is stored in the RAM 205.

  Next, the CPU 201 determines the on / off state of the minute start switch 32 provided on the control panel 31 (S301). If it is determined that the sub-minute start switch 32 is on (S301: YES), the CPU 201 executes a sub-minute mode operation described later (S500).

  If it is determined that the minute start switch 32 is off (S301: NO), the CPU 201 stores the data of the temperature (T) detected by the temperature sensor 221 at a predetermined sampling period in the RAM 205 (S302). The CPU 201 determines whether or not the temperature (T) is higher than a predetermined temperature (for example, 20 ° C.). If T ≦ 20 ° C., the CPU 201 may not execute the next process. That is, stirring is not performed when the temperature of the soup beverage is 20 ° C. or less. In this way, for example, it is not necessary to forcibly stir a soup beverage that is hard at low temperatures and difficult to stir. In addition, for example, it is possible to save electric power without unnecessary stirring for a soup beverage that is not likely to be burnt at low temperature, and there is no possibility of crushing utensils due to excessive stirring.

  Next, the CPU 201 starts measurement by the first counter 207a, and in the reciprocating sliding table data 203a stored in the ROM 203, the current value associated with the type and temperature (T) of the soup beverage read from the RAM 205. And the drive motor control unit 280 is caused to supply a current having the current value to the drive motor 28 with a predetermined polarity (S303). This polarity is a polarity that rotates the drive motor 28 so that the ladle 11 slides to the rear side (A to B in FIG. 14) of the container 5.

  Next, the CPU 201 refers to the count value of the first counter 207 a, and the number of pulses (N) of the drive motor 28 measured by the first counter 207 a is stored in the reciprocating sliding table data 203 a stored in the ROM 203. It is determined whether or not the number of pulses (N1) associated with the beverage type has been reached (S304).

  If it is determined that N is equal to N1 (S304: YES), the CPU 201 resets the first counter 207a and supplies a current having the same magnitude as that in step S303 to the drive motor control unit 280 in step S303. The drive motor 28 is supplied with the opposite polarity to the case (S305). As a result, the ladle 11 is folded back at a predetermined position on the rear side of the container 5 (B in FIG. 14) and slides toward the bottom in the vertical direction (from B to A in FIG. 14).

  When the ladle 11 reaches the bottom in the vertical direction in the container 5 (A in FIG. 14), the microswitch 281 is pressed and receives an ON signal (S306: YES), the CPU 201 is driven by the first counter 207a. Measurement of the number of pulses of the motor 28 is started again (S307).

  Next, the CPU 201 refers to the count value of the first counter 207a and determines again whether or not N has reached N1 (S308). If N is equal to N1 (S308: YES), the first counter 207a And the drive motor 28 is operated with a current having the same magnitude as that in step S305 and a polarity opposite to that in step S305 (S309). As a result, the ladle 11 is folded back at a predetermined position on the front side of the container 5 (C in FIG. 14), and slides toward the bottom in the vertical direction (from C to A in FIG. 14).

When the ladle 11 reaches the bottom in the vertical direction in the container 5 (A in FIG. 14), the micro switch 281 is pressed and an ON signal is received (S310: YES), the CPU 201 instructs the drive motor control unit 280. The operation of the drive motor 28 is stopped (S311).
In addition, the CPU 201 increments the second counter 207b by one (S312).

  Further, the CPU 201 causes the first timer 209 a to start measuring time (S 313), and the time (t) timed by the first timer 209 a is determined in the table data 203 a for reciprocating sliding stored in the ROM 203 and the type of soup beverage It is determined whether or not the time (t1) between one cycle of operations associated with the temperature (T) has been reached (S314). If it is determined that t is equal to t1 (S314: YES), the CPU 201 resets the first timer 209a (S315).

  Furthermore, the CPU 201 refers to the count value of the second counter 207b, and the number of cycles (M) of the reciprocating sliding mode operation (S303 to 311) measured by the second counter 207b is stored in the ROM 203. It is determined whether or not the number of cycles (M1) associated with the type of soup beverage has been reached in the reciprocating sliding table data 203a (S316).

If it is determined that M is greater than or equal to M1 (S316: YES), the CPU 201 resets the second counter 207b (S317), and then executes the end sliding mode operation (see FIG. 15). The operation in S301 is repeated.
If it is determined that M is smaller than M1 (S316: NO), the CPU 201 repeats the operation in step S301.

<<< End sliding mode >>>
As illustrated in the flowchart of FIG. 15, first, the CPU 201 determines the on / off state of the minute start switch 32 provided on the control panel 31 (S400). If it is determined that the sub-minute start switch 32 is on (S400: YES), the CPU 201 executes a sub-mode operation (S500).

  If it is determined that the sub-minute start switch 32 is in an off state (S400: NO), the CPU 201 stores data on the temperature (T) detected by the temperature sensor 221 at a predetermined sampling period in the RAM 205 (S401). The CPU 201 determines whether or not the temperature (T) is higher than a predetermined temperature (for example, 20 ° C.). If T ≦ 20 ° C., the CPU 201 may not execute the next process. That is, stirring is not performed when the temperature of the soup beverage is 20 ° C. or less. In this way, for example, it is not necessary to forcibly stir a soup beverage that is hard at low temperatures and difficult to stir. In addition, for example, it is possible to save electric power without unnecessary stirring for a soup beverage that is not likely to be burnt at low temperature, and there is no possibility of crushing utensils due to excessive stirring.

  Next, the CPU 201 starts measurement by the first counter 207a, acquires the current value associated with the type of soup beverage read from the RAM 205 in the end sliding table data 203b stored in the ROM 203, and The drive motor controller 280 is caused to supply a current having the current value to the drive motor 28 with a predetermined polarity (S402). This polarity is such that the drive motor 28 is rotated so that the ladle 11 slides to the rear side (A to D in FIG. 14) of the container 5.

  Next, the CPU 201 refers to the count value of the first counter 207 a, and the pulse number (N) of the drive motor 28 measured by the first counter 207 a is stored in the end sliding table data 203 b stored in the ROM 203. It is determined whether the number of pulses (N2) associated with the type of soup beverage has been reached (S403).

  If it is determined that N is equal to N2 (S403: YES), the CPU 201 resets the first counter 207a, causes the drive motor control unit 280 to stop the operation of the drive motor 28, and causes the second timer 209b to start timing. (S404). As illustrated in FIG. 14, the position D is higher than the position B described above.

  Next, the CPU 201 sets the time (t) measured by the second timer 209 b to the time when the current value once associated with the type of soup beverage in the end sliding table data 203 b stored in the ROM 203 becomes zero. It is determined whether or not (t2) has been reached (S405).

  If it is determined that t is equal to t2 (S405: YES), the CPU 201 resets the second timer 209b (S406) and executes the same operations as those in steps S305 to S315 described above. In the present embodiment, the drive motor 28 is locked by an appropriate lock mechanism (not shown) so that the ladle 11 stops at the position D from step S403: YES to S405: YES.

  As described above, in the reciprocating sliding mode and the end sliding mode, the soup beverage stored in the container 5 is agitated by the ladle 11 of the link mechanism unit 8. The drive motor 28 of the drive device 26 provided in the upper lid portion 2 is energized, and the link mechanism portion 8 and the ladle 11 at the tip end thereof are rotated to the rear side opposite to the opening 11a via the drive link piece 30. Then, when it rotates to a position inclined 45 degrees to the rear side (B in FIGS. 9 and 14), the ladle 11 together with the link mechanism portion 8 is now rotated forward (in the direction of the opening 11a) in the opposite direction. Move. Similarly, when it is rotated to a position tilted 45 degrees forward (C in FIG. 14), the ladle 11 is also rotated together with the link mechanism portion 8 to the aforementioned rear side. And after repeating this operation several times (M1), the position where the ladle 11 is further tilted to the rear side by 75 degrees, for example, so that the soup beverage accumulated in the ladle 5 is discharged (D in FIG. 14). ) Turn only once. By repeating this operation cycle continuously or intermittently, the soup beverage contained in the container 5 is stirred by the ladle 11.

  Here, the partition plate 38 in the ladle 11 is arranged so that it does not rotate in the direction of the opening 11a when the ladle 11 rotates to the position inclined 45 degrees toward the rear side with the opening 11a facing downward. The center of gravity is formed close to the opening 11 a side of the support shaft 41. That is, since the partition plate 38 is urged to the back of the soup storage portion 11b and is held at the partition position, the partition plate 38 is opened in the middle of the rotation of the ladle 11, and the utensil is stored in the soup storage portion. Intrusion into the back side of the portion 11b is prevented.

  Moreover, since the partition plate 38 is pivotally supported by the support shaft 41 at the upper part and is configured to be rotatable toward the opening 11a, the partition plate 38 is opened when the soup beverage drawn into the soup container 11b is discharged from the opening 11a. It turns to the 11a side. And thereby, the partition in the soup accommodating part 11b is easily open | released. That is, the soup beverage accommodated in the container 5 is mixed with fine ingredients and extracts that pass through the slits 38c of the partition plate 38, and these ingredients and extracts together with the soup liquid are the soup containers of the ladle 11. Even when the soup beverage in the ladle 11 is discharged from the opening 11a even when it enters the back side of 11b, ingredients and extract are discharged from the back side to the opening 11a side and discharged to the outside together with the soup liquid. . Therefore, the ladle 11 is rotated only once to a position (for example, a position tilted 75 degrees rearward) during the agitation so that the soup beverage accumulated in the ladle 5 is discharged. Ingredients and extracts are not deposited inside.

  That is, when the soup beverage in the container 5 is agitated by rotating the ladle 11 in this way, the capacity of the back side of the soup container 11b of the ladle 11 is not reduced. The ratio of soup can be kept constant.

  According to the soup beverage supply device of the present embodiment, when the ladle 11 reciprocates between predetermined positions on the inner peripheral surface of the container 5 (B and C in FIG. 14) according to the type of soup beverage. The drive motor 28 is controlled to make the speed variable. For example, in the table data 203a for reciprocating sliding (FIG. 11), for a thick soup beverage such as corn soup, the current supplied to the drive motor 28 is set to a large value, and for a soup beverage such as minestrone, which is thin. Thus, the current supplied to the drive motor 28 is set small. In this way, with regard to corn soup, even though it is difficult for heat to be transmitted, the uniformity of temperature for each sale is maintained as in the case of minestrone. In addition, it is possible to keep the ratio of the ingredient and the soup liquid for each corn soup having a small ingredient at every sale, as in the case of the minestrone having a large ingredient. Therefore, the soup beverage can be subdivided easily while maintaining its quality, depending on its type.

  Further, according to the soup beverage supply apparatus according to the present embodiment, the ladle 11 slides back and forth between predetermined positions (B and C in FIG. 14) on the inner peripheral surface of the container 5 according to the temperature of the soup beverage. The drive motor 28 is controlled to make the speed at that time variable. For example, in the reciprocating sliding table data 203a (FIG. 11), the current supplied to the drive motor 28 is set to be relatively small at a relatively low temperature for a soup beverage made from milk such as corn soup. The current supplied to the drive motor 28 is set to be relatively high at a relatively high temperature. In this way, it is possible to heat a soup beverage that is easily burnt, for example, milk, while preventing it from being burned without unnecessary stirring. In addition, since it is not unnecessarily agitated, for example, crumb chowda, soup beverages that use milk as a raw material and have ingredients that are easy to boil such as potatoes are also prevented from being burnt and the ingredients boiled. Heating can be performed while preventing. Furthermore, for example, it is possible to distinguish how to stir depending on whether the soup beverage is heated or kept warm. That is, it can stir quickly at the time of heating, and can stir slowly at the time of heat retention. Therefore, the soup beverage can be subdivided easily while maintaining its quality.

  Further, according to the soup beverage supply device of the present embodiment, the ladle 11 reciprocates faster between predetermined positions (B and C in FIG. 14) on the inner peripheral surface of the container 5 as the temperature of the soup beverage increases. Can slide. If it does in this way, effective heating can be performed, for example, with respect to the soup drink which has a material which is easy to be burnt, omitting unnecessary stirring and preventing burn. In addition, for a soup beverage that is hard and difficult to stir at low temperatures, the stirring speed can be increased as the temperature rises.

  Further, according to the soup beverage supply device of the present embodiment, when the temperature of the soup beverage is equal to or lower than a predetermined temperature (for example, 20 ° C.), the ladle 11 does not perform the reciprocating sliding operation described above (step S301: NO). And S401). On the other hand, even for a soup beverage having a material that is easily burnt, stirring is not necessary if the temperature is such that the burn does not occur. Therefore, if the predetermined temperature (20 ° C.) is set to a temperature at which the soup beverage does not become burnt even if it is not stirred, the soup beverage can be omitted while avoiding unnecessary stirring and burning. Effective heating can be performed.

  Further, according to the soup beverage supply apparatus of the present embodiment, the ladle 11 reciprocates between predetermined positions on the inner peripheral surface of the container 5 (B and C in FIG. 14) according to the temperature of the soup beverage. The drive motor 28 is controlled to make the frequency variable. For example, in the table data 203a for reciprocating sliding (FIG. 11), for a soup beverage made from milk such as corn soup, at a relatively low temperature, t1 is set to relatively reduce the frequency of reciprocating sliding. A relatively long time is set, and at a relatively high temperature, t1 is set relatively short so that the frequency of reciprocating sliding is relatively high. In this way, it is possible to heat a soup beverage that is easily burnt, for example, milk, while preventing it from being burned without unnecessary stirring. Therefore, the soup beverage can be subdivided easily while maintaining its quality.

  Further, according to the soup beverage supply device of the present embodiment, as the temperature of the soup beverage increases, the ladle 11 is more frequently moved between predetermined positions on the inner peripheral surface of the container 5 (B and C in FIG. 14). Can slide back and forth. If it does in this way, effective heating can be performed, for example, with respect to the soup drink which has a material which is easy to be burnt, omitting unnecessary stirring and preventing burn.

  Further, according to the soup beverage supply device of the present embodiment, the ladle 11 reciprocates between predetermined positions on the inner peripheral surface of the container 5 (B and C in FIG. 14), and between the predetermined positions. The drive motor 28 is controlled so as to repeat the operation of detaching and sliding toward the other end (D in FIG. 14) of the inner peripheral surface. In this way, by sliding the ladle 11 toward the position D in FIG. 14, for example, utensils, extracts and the like are more likely to fall, and thus are less likely to accumulate in the ladle 11. Therefore, there is no risk of a relative decrease in the amount of soup liquid in the ladle 11 due to such ingredients or extracts, and the quality of the soup beverage subdivided by the ladle 11 is maintained. Further, if the accumulation is difficult to occur, it is not necessary to clean the inside of the ladle 11. Therefore, the soup beverage can be subdivided easily while maintaining its quality.

  Further, according to the soup beverage supply device of the present embodiment, for example, in the end sliding table data 203b (FIG. 12), the soup beverage containing more ingredients, extracts and the like is applied to the drive motor 28. The supplied current can be set relatively large. If it does in this way, in step S402 mentioned above, the ladle 11 will slide more quickly between AD of FIG. 14, and it will become difficult to deposit an instrument, an extract, etc. in the inner part. For example, in FIG. 12, it is assumed that the soup beverage has more ingredients and extracts in the order of minestrone, corn soup, and crumb chowda. Corresponding to this order, the current supplied to the drive motor 28 is set larger.

  Further, according to the soup beverage supply device of the present embodiment, for example, in the reciprocating sliding table data 203a, the end sliding with respect to the reciprocating sliding mode with respect to the soup beverage containing more ingredients, extracts, etc. The mode operation frequency (M1: 1) can be set relatively high. In this way, the operation of step S402 described above is executed at a higher frequency, so that ingredients, extracts, and the like are less likely to accumulate in the back of the ladle 11. For example, in FIG. 11, it is assumed that the soup drink has more ingredients and extracts in the order of minestrone, corn soup, and crumb chowda. Corresponding to this order, the frequency of the end sliding mode is set higher. That is, every 7 reciprocating slides, one end slide, every 5 reciprocating slides, one end slide, and reciprocating sliding and end sliding are alternating.

  Moreover, according to the soup beverage supply apparatus of this Embodiment, when the ladle 11 stops temporarily in the position D of FIG. 14, an ingredient, an extract, etc. become more difficult to accumulate in the inner part.

  Moreover, according to the soup beverage supply apparatus of the present embodiment, for example, in the end sliding table data 203b (FIG. 12), t2 is made longer with respect to the soup beverage that contains more ingredients, extracts, and the like. Can be set. In this way, in steps S404 to S407, the ladle 11 can be temporarily stopped at the position D in FIG. 14 for a long time, so that ingredients, extracts and the like are less likely to accumulate in the back of the ladle 11. . For example, in FIG. 12, it is assumed that the soup beverage has more ingredients and extracts in the order of minestrone, corn soup, and crumb chowda. Corresponding to this order, the pause time t2 is set longer.

<<< Mode to discharge soup beverage (minor mode) >>>
In the soup beverage supply apparatus having the above-described configuration, an outline of the operation and operation of each part when the soup beverage accommodated in the container 5 is subdivided into tableware 16 will be described.

  When the tableware 16 is placed in the tableware unit 3 and the subdivision start switch 32 of the control panel 31 is operated, the soup beverage subdivision operation is started. Specifically, the drive motor 28 of the drive device 26 is energized, and the link mechanism unit 8 rotates in the opposite direction to the opening 11 a of the ladle 11 from the standby state shown in FIG. 3 via the drive link piece 30. Then, as shown in (a) of FIG. 9, when the pivot mechanism unit 8 is rotated to a predetermined position (for example, a position inclined about 45 degrees rearward), the link mechanism unit 8 is rotated in the direction of the opening 11 a of the ladle 11. . At this time, the ladle 11 is in sliding contact with the bottom surface portion 5b of the container 5 and moves in an arc along this, and accommodates the soup beverage in the soup accommodating portion 11b from the opening 11a. Here, as for the soup drink accommodated in the soup accommodating part 11b, an ingredient and soup liquid are accommodated by the partition plate 38 in a predetermined ratio.

  When the rotation further proceeds, as shown in FIG. 9B, the ladle 11 is inserted from the arcuate bottom surface portion 5b of the container 5 into the wide mouth 40a of the hopper 40 formed so as to follow it.

  When the link mechanism 8 is further rotated, the ladle 11 is inserted into the hopper 40, and is integrated with the radle 11 so as to extend beyond the opening 5a of the container 5 around the support shaft 41 that pivotally supports the hopper 40. As shown in FIG. 9 (c), the soup drink in the ladle 11 is discharged to the tableware 16 placed in the tableware unit 3. At this time, since the partition plate 38 in the ladle 11 is pressed by the soup beverage to be discharged and pivots to the opening 11a side, the bowl or extract that has entered the back side of the soup container 11b is also soup liquid. All are released with it. In this case, the soup beverage accommodated in the soup accommodating portion 11b of the ladle 11 is discharged to the tableware 16 through the hopper 40 from the tube opening 40b in a substantially constant state. And when all the soup drinks of the soup accommodating part 11b are subdivided into tableware 16, the link mechanism part 8 is rotated in the reverse direction, and the ladle 11 is returned to the container again. Such an operation is repeated as necessary, and a predetermined amount of soup beverage is subdivided from the container 5 into the tableware 16.

  The container cover 20 that covers the opening 5a of the container 5 is normally closed, and the ladle 11 is inserted into the hopper 40, and rotates integrally with the container cover 20 beyond the opening 5a of the container 5. In this case, a discharge port door 20a is provided that is pushed and opened.

  By the way, the ladle 11 does not allow the ingredients mixed in the soup beverage to pass therethrough, and the partition plate 38 that allows the soup liquid to pass therethrough is arranged so as to partition the soup accommodating portion 11b inside thereof into the opening 11a side and the back side. Prepare. In addition, since the partition plate 38 is opened when the soup beverage pumped into the soup container 11b is discharged from the opening 11a, the soup beverage stored in the soup container 11b is separated from the partition plate. Even when fine ingredients and extracts passing through 38 are mixed, and these ingredients and extracts enter the back side of the soup container 11b together with the soup liquid, the soup beverage in the soup container 11b is opened in the opening 11a. It is assumed that the bowl and the extract flow out from the back side to the opening 11a side and are discharged to the outside together with the soup liquid. That is, since these are not deposited in the soup container 11b and the capacity of the back side of the soup container 11b is not reduced, the utensil and the soup liquid are always pumped at a constant rate and divided into dishes. Can do.

  Further, since the partition plate 38 is pivotally supported at one end and pivoted toward the opening 11a, when the soup beverage pumped into the soup container 11b is discharged from the opening 11a, the partition plate 38 is It rotates to the opening 11a side, and the partition in the soup accommodating part 11b by this is easily opened. Therefore, the partition of the soup container 11b can be configured easily and inexpensively.

  Further, the partition plate 38 is provided with a stopper portion 38d that moves the center of gravity toward the opening 11a and is pivotally supported at the upper portion and prevents rotation to the back side. According to this, since the partition plate 38 is urged to the back side and is held at the partition position, when the ladle 11 is rotated backward in the container 5 and the opening 11a is inclined downward. However, the partition plate 38 does not easily rotate to the opening 11a side. That is, since the partition plate 38 can be prevented from opening during the rotation of the ladle 11, the partition plate 38 opens during the rotation, and a large amount of tools enter the back side of the soup container 11b. This can be prevented, and the utensil and soup can always be pumped at a constant rate and subdivided into dishes.

  Further, the ladle 11 is formed so that the rear end portion on the opposite side to the opening 11a protrudes in a wedge shape, so that the ladle 11 is mixed in the soup beverage in the container 5 when the ladle 11 rotates in the direction of the rear end portion. Can be scraped off so as not to be scooped up on the outer shell of the ladle 11. That is, at this time, since the amount of ingredients mixed in the soup beverage in the container 5 is not reduced, the ingredients can be efficiently scooped up when the ladle 11 next rotates in the direction of the opening 11a to scoop up the soup beverage.

  Thus, in the soup beverage supply device of this embodiment, the soup beverage accommodated in the device passes through the partition plate 38 in addition to the tools that can be separated by the partition plate 38 provided in the ladle 11. Even when fine ingredients and extracts are mixed, the ingredients and extracts are prevented from accumulating inside the ladle 11, and when the soup drink in the container 5 is scooped up by the ladle 11, The ingredients and soup can always be scooped up at a predetermined rate and subdivided into dishes.

  Needless to say, the present invention is not limited to only the apparatus shown in the present embodiment, and application changes can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention.

  In the reciprocating sliding mode of the above-described embodiment, the ladle 11 moves from the position A (FIG. 14) in the container 5 to the position B (FIG. 14), turns back at the position B, passes through the position A, and moves to the position C ( 14), the cycle from the position C to the return to the position A is defined as one cycle. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the period from the position C to the position B, turning back at the position B, and returning to the position B may be one cycle.

  The reciprocating sliding mode and the end sliding mode described above are not switched to the subdivision mode in one cycle, but are not limited to this.

  Further, the drive motor 28 of the above-described embodiment is a DC motor provided with a pulse encoder, but is not limited to this, and the drive motor 28 may be a stepping motor. However, in this case, for example, the rotation speed of the stepping motor can be controlled by changing the frequency at the time of exciting a plurality of exciting coils in order.
