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 an arc-shaped inner peripheral surface and an upper surface opening, and a soup beverage is drawn in the process of sliding the inner peripheral surface to one end, and the soup beverage that has been pumped up is opened at the upper end. There is also known a soup beverage supply device comprising a handle rod mechanism that discharges to the outside of the container via a container, and a drive unit that supplies a driving force for causing the handle rod mechanism to slide and discharge . 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 for allowing the soup liquid to pass therethrough and separating the utensil and the soup liquid when the soup drink is accommodated therein. (Hereinafter, this sliding operation is referred to as “upward sliding”). Further, for example, an appropriate ladle tilting means is provided in the upper surface opening of the container, and when the ladle reaches the upper surface opening, the ladle is tilted by the ladle tilting means and the soup beverage inside thereof is discharged to the tableware.

In order to subdivide the soup beverage using such a soup beverage supply device, for example, while keeping the ratio of the above-mentioned ingredient and soup liquid constant for the user, the soup in the container before the subdivision It is necessary to make the ratio of the whole beverage ingredient and soup liquid uniform. Therefore, the soup beverage supply device can reciprocate the ladle, for example, between predetermined positions on the inner peripheral surface of the container before discharging the soup beverage (hereinafter, this sliding operation is called reciprocating sliding), In order to make it move, it has a control part which controls a drive part. On the other hand, when the control unit receives the soup beverage supply command, the control unit slides the ladle to one end of the inner peripheral surface of the container with the driving force for the reciprocating sliding or sliding on the bowl. . That is, the soup beverage stirred or brewed in the container by the ladle is subdivided by an operation similar to the stirring or mashing by the ladle.
Japanese Patent No. 3449554

  However, even if the soup beverage supply device described above is used, it is difficult to subdivide the soup beverage so that the soup beverage does not jump while sufficiently stirring or lifting the soup beverage. In order to sufficiently stir or lift the soup beverage, it is necessary to increase the driving force for reciprocating or sliding the ladle on the inner peripheral surface of the container. On the other hand, when the soup beverage is subdivided, when the ladle is slid to one end of the inner peripheral surface of the container with the driving force for reciprocating sliding or sliding on the bowl, the reciprocating sliding or There is a problem that the greater the driving force for sliding on the bowl, the greater the inertial force acting on the soup beverage before the ladle stops in a short time, making it easier for the soup beverage to jump. When the soup beverage jumps, the amount of the soup beverage to be subdivided into tableware is not constant for each sale. On the other hand, if the driving force for stirring or lifting is reduced to prevent this jumping (hereinafter referred to as suppression of stirring or lifting), it is difficult to always subdivide soup beverages having a predetermined amount of ingredients. Become.

  In addition, the above-mentioned conflicting problems of stirring or mashing the soup beverage become even greater depending on the type of soup beverage. For example, in the case of a soup beverage with little thickness, if it receives the inertial force during the subdivision, it is easy to jump. On the other hand, if the stirring or lifting is suppressed to prevent this jumping, there is a possibility that the stirring or lifting is insufficient for a thick soup beverage.

  Furthermore, even if the soup beverage supply device described above is used, it is difficult to always subdivide soup beverages having a predetermined amount of ingredients for various types of soup beverages. For example, for a thick soup beverage, a control unit that has received the soup beverage supply command transfers a ladle at a certain position on the inner peripheral surface of the container from the certain position to one end. Consider the case of sliding toward. In this case, for the soup beverage in the region where the ladle has not been slid after receiving the supply command, the more the soup beverage is thickened, the less the operation of the ladle is transmitted. There is a risk of becoming. On the other hand, if the driving force for stirring or brewing is increased in order to solve this problem, there is a possibility that excessive stirring or brewing is unnecessary for a soup beverage with little thickening.

  In summary, there arises a problem that the amount and quality of the subdivided soup beverage are reduced depending on the type of soup beverage.

  Furthermore, soup beverages may contain fine ingredients and extracts, and when the ladle slides in the direction of the mouth of such soup drinks, the fine ingredients and extracts are It is easy to enter the back of the ladle. 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.

  This invention is made | formed in view of this subject, The place made into the objective is to subdivide the said soup drink, maintaining the quantity and quality easily irrespective of the kind of soup drink. is there.

  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 soup beverage, and the inner peripheral surface. A handle for scooping up the soup beverage in the process of sliding to the one end, and discharging the soup beverage to the outside of the container through the upper surface opening at the position of the one end of the inner peripheral surface. A soup beverage supply device comprising: a mechanism unit; and a drive unit that supplies a first driving force for causing the handle mechanism mechanism to slide and a second driving force for causing the ejection. A control unit is provided that makes the second driving force for causing the ejection to be smaller than the first driving force for causing the sliding.

  Further, in the soup beverage supply device, it is preferable that the control unit makes the second driving force for performing the ejection variable according to the thickness of the soup beverage.

  According to this soup beverage supply device, the control unit controls the drive unit as described above, so that the handle rod mechanism unit can discharge the soup beverage with a smaller driving force than in the case of sliding. That is, the soup beverage can be sufficiently agitated or sprinkled by relatively increasing the first driving force for reciprocally sliding the handle handle mechanism portion on the inner peripheral surface of the container or sliding it on the cup. On the other hand, by relatively reducing the second driving force for sliding the handle rod mechanism portion to one end portion of the inner peripheral surface of the container, the soup is stopped until the handle rod mechanism portion stops at the end portion. The inertial force acting on the beverage can be relatively reduced. Therefore, the soup beverage can be subdivided so as not to jump while sufficiently stirring or raising the soup beverage.

  In addition, according to this soup beverage supply device, for example, for a soup beverage with a little thickness, the second driving force is made smaller with respect to the first driving force than for a thick soup beverage. Can do. In this way, for the soup beverage that is easy to jump when subjected to the inertial force in the case of the subdivision and the curd is not so thick, the leap mechanism mechanism performs a relatively slow discharge operation to prevent this jumping. . On the other hand, for soup beverages that are difficult to jump and have a lot of thickness, the soup beverage can be quickly subdivided by the handle spear mechanism performing a relatively fast discharge operation.

  In summary, regardless of the type of soup beverage, the soup beverage can be easily subdivided while maintaining its quantity and 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 soup beverage supply comprising: a handle rod mechanism portion that performs a first drive force for causing the handle rod mechanism portion to slide and a second drive force for causing the discharge An apparatus comprising: a control unit configured to reduce the first driving force for causing the sliding as the handle mechanism unit approaches the one end of the inner peripheral surface. And

  In the soup beverage supply apparatus, it is preferable that the control unit can change a ratio of reducing the first driving force for causing the sliding to be small in accordance with the thickness of the soup beverage.

  Further, in the soup beverage supply device, the control unit uses the second driving force for causing the ejection to be performed, and the first driving force when the handle rod mechanism unit finishes sliding on the inner peripheral surface. The following is preferable.

  According to this soup beverage supply device, the control unit controls the drive unit as described above, so that the handle mechanism mechanism stops before stopping at one end of the inner peripheral surface of the container, for example, to discharge soup beverage. Furthermore, it can slide with a smaller driving force as it approaches the end. That is, for example, immediately before discharge, the first driving force is made smaller as the one end portion of the inner peripheral surface of the container is approached, and the handle mechanism is slid in the container, and the second driving force is applied after the end of sliding. The handle mechanism mechanism can be slid to the one end portion below the first driving force at the end. If it does in this way, the inertial force which acts on a soup drink before a handle handle mechanism part stops at the above-mentioned one end can be made small more effectively. Therefore, the soup beverage can be subdivided so as not to jump while sufficiently stirring or raising the soup beverage.

  In addition, according to this soup beverage supply device, for example, for a soup beverage with a little thickness, the proportion of reducing the first driving force can be made larger than for a soup beverage with a thickness. In this way, for the soup beverage that is easy to jump when subjected to the inertial force in the case of subdivision and has little curling, the sliding motion at least immediately before and during the discharge of the handle mechanism is relatively slow. This prevents this jumping. On the other hand, for soup beverages that are difficult to jump and have a lot of curse, the soup beverage can be quickly subdivided by the relative speed of the sliding motion at least immediately before and during discharge of the handle mechanism.

  In summary, regardless of the type of soup beverage, the soup beverage can be easily subdivided while maintaining its quantity and 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 soup beverage supply device comprising: a handle rod mechanism portion that performs a driving force that supplies a driving force for causing the handle rod mechanism portion to slide and discharge the handle rod mechanism portion; Based on the control, the slider controls the drive unit to slide toward the other end of the inner peripheral surface before sliding the handle mechanism toward the one end of the inner peripheral surface. And a control unit that performs the operation.

  Further, in the soup beverage supply device, the control unit may include a drive unit configured to slide the handle mechanism toward the other end of the inner peripheral surface according to the thickness of the soup beverage. The driving force is preferably variable.

  Further, in the soup beverage supply apparatus, the soup beverage supply device further includes a remaining amount detection unit that detects a remaining amount of the soup beverage stored in the container, and the control unit is detected by the remaining amount detection unit. It is preferable to control the drive unit so that the distance by which the handle rod mechanism unit is slid toward the other end of the inner peripheral surface can be changed according to the remaining amount of soup beverage.

  According to this soup beverage supply device, for example, the control unit that has received the supply command to subdivide the soup beverage controls the drive unit as described above, so that the handle mechanism unit is connected to one end of the inner peripheral surface of the container. Before sliding toward the part, it can slide toward the other end of the inner peripheral surface. That is, for example, the handle mechanism that reciprocally slides or slides up and down on the inner peripheral surface of the container slides toward the other end immediately before discharge, and then turns toward one end. Can do. If it does in this way, the whole soup drink can be stirred or sprinkled immediately before subdividing. By this stirring or mashing, the subdivided soup beverage can hold a predetermined amount of ingredients every time it is sold, so that the quality of the soup beverage is maintained. Further, when the sliding portion of the handle rod mechanism portion forms, for example, a ladle, the soup beverage in the container, for example, if the utensils, extracts, etc. in the ladle are at a position higher than the position corresponding to the amplitude of the reciprocating sliding, for example. It is easy to fall into the ladle, 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. Further, if the above-mentioned accumulation is difficult to occur, it is not necessary to clean the inside of the ladle. Therefore, the soup beverage can be subdivided easily while maintaining its quality. It should be noted that the ingredients, extracts and the like are more likely to fall into the soup beverage of the container as the driving force for sliding the ladle toward the other end is larger.

  Further, according to this soup beverage supply device, for example, for a thick soup beverage, the handle rod mechanism portion is placed at the other end of the inner peripheral surface of the container immediately before discharge, compared to a soup beverage with a little thickness. The driving force for sliding the part can be increased. If it does in this way, even if it is hard to transmit the operation | movement of a handle candy mechanism part and there is much curd soup drink, the whole can be stirred or sprinkled immediately before subdivision. Therefore, the quality of a thick soup beverage can be maintained as in the case of a soup beverage with little thickness.

  Furthermore, according to this soup beverage supply device, the remaining amount of the soup beverage stored in the container is detected by the remaining amount detecting unit, and the control unit always slides the handle mechanism within the remaining amount, The remaining amount can be stirred or raised. In this way, the soup beverage can be stirred or sprinkled by the minimum sliding of the handle mechanism according to the remaining amount, and thus the operation cost of the soup beverage supply device can be saved, for example.

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

  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 supervises the control of the soup beverage supply apparatus, and appropriately includes a ROM 203, a RAM 205, a counter 207, a timer 209 and the like in addition to the CPU 201. 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 having 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 control panel 31 described later. The structure which controls directly etc. may be sufficient.

  The CPU 201 controls the drive motor control unit 280 based on an appropriate program stored in the ROM 203, for example, and sets the drive motor 28, which is a DC motor including an appropriate rotary encoder, at a predetermined rotational speed in a predetermined rotational direction. It is rotated by the number of pulses. 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 the rotary encoder. As will be described later, the predetermined number of pulses is measured by the counter 207. 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. In the present embodiment, a large current value and therefore a high rotational speed of the drive motor 28 corresponds to a large driving force.

  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 sliding mode in which the data of the current value that the CPU 201 transmits to the drive motor control unit 280 is associated with each type of soup beverage as a sliding mode in which the ladle 11 slides on the inner peripheral surface of the container 5. The table data 203a (see FIG. 11a) is stored. The sliding mode of the present embodiment includes a front movement mode in which the ladle 11 moves to the front position B (FIG. 12), a rear movement mode in which the ladle 11 moves from the front position B to the rear position C (FIG. 12), And a lifting mode that moves from the rear position C to the front position B. As illustrated in FIG. 11a, in the sliding table data 203a, the rotation speed of the drive motor 28 corresponds to each of the forward movement mode, the backward movement mode, and the uplift mode for each type of soup beverage. Current values to be associated with each other. In particular, the current value in the lifting mode is set, for example, in two steps so that the speed of the ladle 11 decreases as the position of the ladle 11 approaches the forward position B. The data of the position (switching point) for switching the two-stage speed is also associated with each type of soup beverage in the sliding table data 203a.

  The ROM 203 is a current value data that the CPU 201 transmits to the drive motor control unit 280 for each type of soup beverage as a discharge mode in which the ladle 11 moves from the front position B of the container 5 to the discharge position D (FIG. 12). Is stored in the discharge table data 203b (see FIG. 11b).

  Note that the above-described current values in the sliding table data 203a and the discharging table data 203b can be set by a setting button 33 provided on the control panel 31.

  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.

  Further, the micro switch 281 is appropriately provided so that, for example, when the ladle 11 is at the standby position A (FIG. 12), the micro switch 281 contacts the drive link piece 30 and is turned on. Thus, for example, a base point signal for measuring the number of pulses of the drive motor 28 is given.

=== Operation of the soup beverage supply device (sliding mode) ===
In the soup beverage supply apparatus having the above-described configuration, an operation in which the soup beverage accommodated in the container 5 is agitated or sprinkled before discharging is 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 soup beverage contained in the container 5 is agitated by the ladle 11 reciprocatingly sliding between predetermined positions on the inner peripheral surface of the container 5 (hereinafter referred to as this). The state is called reciprocal mode). That is, the CPU 201 reverses the polarity of the drive motor 28 as appropriate and repeats the reset and start of the counter 207, whereby the ladle 11 slides back and forth between, for example, predetermined positions BB ′ (see FIG. 12) in the container. The soup beverage in the container 5 is stirred.

<<< forward movement mode >>>
As illustrated in the flowchart of FIG. 13, first, the CPU 201 determines the on / off state of the fraction start switch 32 provided on the control panel 31 (S <b> 300). If it is determined that the minute start switch 32 is in the OFF state (S300: NO), the CPU 201 continues the operation of the above-described reciprocating mode as appropriate (S1000).

  If it is determined that the minute start switch 32 is on (S300: YES), the CPU 201 causes the drive motor control unit 280 to stop the drive motor 28 (S301).

  Further, the CPU 201 refers to the count value of the counter 207 that has measured the number of pulses generated as the drive motor 28 rotates, and calculates the position of the ladle 11 from the count value and the polarity of the drive motor 28 as appropriate. (S302). This position is defined as follows. For example, assume that the ladle 11 is at a position P illustrated in FIG. If this position P is a position where the drive motor 28 is rotated by, for example, 15 pulses from the standby position A, the position P is represented as “+15 pulses”. Note that “+” representing polarity corresponds to a direction in which the drive motor 28 rotates so that the ladle 11 slides from the rear to the front.

  Further, the CPU 201 calculates a pulse number N1 (45-15 = 30 pulses) corresponding to the rotation amount of the drive motor 28 from the position P (+15 pulses) to the forward position B (for example, +45 pulses), and calculates the pulse number. The data is stored in the RAM 205 (S303).

  Next, the CPU 201 refers to the sliding table data 203a stored in the ROM 203 and acquires the current value I1 associated with the soup beverage type and the forward movement mode stored in the RAM 205 (S304).

  In addition, the CPU 201 resets the counter 207, causes the drive motor control unit 280 to supply the current having the current value I1 to the drive motor 28 with the polarity of “+”, and sets the number of pulses of the drive motor 28. Measurement is started by the counter 207 (S305).

  Next, the CPU 201 refers to the count value N of the counter 207 and determines whether or not it has reached the number of pulses N1 (= 30) stored in the RAM 205 (S306).

  If it is determined that N is equal to N1 (S306: YES), the CPU 201 stops the drive motor 28, resets the counter 207 (S307), and executes a backward movement mode operation described later (S400).

  The time from when the drive motor 28 is stopped at step S301 to when it is started at step S305 may be set to a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds) using the timer 209 as appropriate.

  As represented by the arrow illustrated in FIG. 12, in this forward movement mode, the ladle 11 stops at the position P for 0.5 seconds, for example, when the sub-minute start switch 32 is pressed, and then performs the above-described reciprocation. For example, it slides from the position P to the front position B at the same speed as in the mode. This speed is realized by setting the current value I1 associated with the forward movement mode in the sliding table data 203a to be equal to the current value in the reciprocating mode.

<<< Backward movement mode >>>
As illustrated in the flowchart of FIG. 14, the CPU 201 refers to the sliding table data 203a and acquires the current value I2 associated with the soup beverage type and the backward movement mode (S400).

  In addition, the CPU 201 causes the drive motor control unit 280 to supply the current having the current value I2 to the drive motor 28 with the polarity of “−” and starts the counter 207 to measure the number of pulses of the drive motor 28. (S401).

  Next, the CPU 201 refers to the count value N of the counter 207 and determines whether or not it has reached the number of pulses N2 (= 120) (S402). The pulse number N2 (= 120) corresponds to the rotation amount of the drive motor 28 from the front position B (+45 pulses) to the rear position C (for example, −75 pulses).

  If it is determined that N is equal to N2 (S402: YES), the CPU 201 stops the drive motor 28, resets the counter 207 (S403), and executes the operation in the uplift mode described later (S500).

  Note that the time from when the drive motor 28 is stopped at step S307 described above to when it is started at step S401 may be set to a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds) using the timer 209 as appropriate. .

  As represented by the arrow illustrated in FIG. 12, in this backward movement mode, the ladle 11 stops at the forward position B for 0.5 seconds, for example, and then has a higher speed, for example, than in the forward movement mode described above. Slide from the front position B to the rear position C. This speed is realized by setting the current value I2 associated with the backward movement mode in the sliding table data 203a to be larger than the current value I1 associated with the forward movement mode.

<<<< Upward mode >>>>
As illustrated in the flowchart of FIG. 15, the CPU 201 refers to the sliding table data 203a and acquires the current value I3 associated with the type of soup beverage and the first stage of the uplift mode. (S500), the current having the current value I3 is supplied to the drive motor 28 with the polarity of “+”, and the counter 207 is started to measure the number of pulses of the drive motor 28 (S501). Next, the CPU 201 refers to the count value N of the counter 207 and determines whether or not it has reached the number of pulses N3 (= 75) (S502). The pulse number N3 (= 75) is a pulse number corresponding to the rotation amount of the drive motor 28 from the rear position C (−75 pulses) to the standby position A (0 pulse).

  If it is determined that N is equal to N3 (S502: YES), the CPU 201 refers to the sliding table data 203a and refers to the current value I4 associated with the type of soup beverage and the second stage of the uplift mode. And a current having the current value I4 is supplied to the drive motor 28 with a polarity of “+” (S503), and an operation in a discharge mode to be described later is executed (S600).

  Note that the time from when the drive motor 28 is stopped at step S403 described above to when the drive motor 28 is started at step S501 may be set to a predetermined time using the timer 209 as appropriate. Further, the predetermined time may be associated with each type of soup beverage in the sliding table data 203a so as to be variable depending on the type of soup beverage.

  As represented by the arrow illustrated in FIG. 12, in the uphill mode, the ladle 11 stops at the rear position C for a predetermined time, and then, for example, the rear position C with the same speed as in the rearward movement mode described above. To the standby position A. Further, when the ladle 11 reaches the standby position A, the ladle 11 slides from the standby position A to the front position B at a speed slower than the speed described above, for example. That is, in the present embodiment, this standby position A is the speed switching point of the drive motor 28. As described above, this switching point data is associated with each type of soup beverage in the sliding table data 203a. The speed before the switching point in the present embodiment is that the current value I3 associated with the first stage of the uplift mode in the sliding table data 203a is the current value I2 associated with the backward movement mode described above. This is realized by setting the same as. In addition, the speed after the switching point is set such that the current value I4 associated with the second stage of the lifting mode in the sliding table data 203a is smaller than the current value I3 associated with the first stage. It is realized by doing.

=== Operation of the soup beverage supply device (discharge mode) ===
As illustrated in the flowchart of FIG. 16, in the above-described uplift mode, the CPU 201 refers to the count value N of the counter 207 and determines whether or not this has reached the number of pulses N4 (= 120) (S600). ). The pulse number N4 (= 120) is a pulse number corresponding to the rotation amount of the drive motor 28 from the rear position C (−75 pulses) to the front position B (+45 pulses).

  If it is determined that N is equal to N4 (S600: YES), the CPU 201 refers to the ejection table data 203b, obtains the current value I5 associated with the soup beverage type, and has this current value I5. The current is supplied to the drive motor 28 with the polarity of “+” (S601).

Next, the CPU 201 refers to the count value N of the counter 207 and determines whether or not it has reached the number of pulses N5 (= 165) (S602). The pulse number N5 (= 165) is a pulse number corresponding to the rotation amount of the drive motor 28 from the rear position C (−75 pulses) to the discharge position D (+90 pulses).
If it is determined that N is equal to N5 (S602: YES), the CPU 201 stops the drive motor 28 (S603).

  Note that the time from when the drive motor 28 is stopped in step S603 described above to when it is restarted may be set to a predetermined time using the timer 209 as appropriate. Further, the predetermined time may be associated with each type of soup beverage in the ejection table data 203b so as to be variable depending on the type of soup beverage.

  As represented by the arrow illustrated in FIG. 12, in this discharge mode, the ladle 11 slides from the front position B to the discharge position D at a lower speed than that in the above-described lifting mode, and from the radle 11 Soup beverage is dispensed. This speed is realized by setting the current value I5 in the ejection table data 203b to be smaller than the current value I4 associated with the second stage of the uplift mode.

  The operation of the CPU 201 described above realizes the following operation of the soup beverage supply device. 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 is rotated from the position P shown in FIG. It rotates in the opposite direction of 11a. 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 crawl onto 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 efficiently scooped up when the ladle 11 next rotates in the direction of the opening 11a. it can.

  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 the soup drink in the container 5 is scooped up by the ladle 11. The ingredients and the soup can always be sprinkled at a predetermined rate and subdivided into dishes.

  In the sliding table data 203a (FIG. 11a) and the ejection table data 203b (FIG. 11b) of the present embodiment, the first driving force in the above-described reciprocating sliding (reciprocating mode) or heel sliding (sliding mode). The current value I5 for providing the second driving force in the discharge mode is set to be smaller than the current values I1 to I4 for providing the soup beverage before the ladle 11 stops at the discharge position D (FIG. 12). The acting inertia force is suppressed. Therefore, the soup beverage can be subdivided so as not to jump while sufficiently stirring or raising the soup beverage.

  In particular, the ratio at which the current value I5 is made smaller than the current value I4 is set to be larger, for example, in the case of the minestrone with less thickness than in the case of the thickened clam chowder. As a result, the ladle 11 performs a relatively slow discharge operation for a soup beverage that is easy to jump when subjected to the inertial force in the case of subdivision, and this jump is prevented. On the other hand, for a soup beverage that is difficult to jump and has a lot of thickness, the ladle 11 performs a relatively fast discharge operation, so that the soup beverage can be quickly subdivided.

  In the sliding table data 203a of the present embodiment, the second stage current value I4 in the uphill mode is set to be smaller than the first stage current value I3. In particular, the ratio to be reduced is set to be larger for, for example, a minestrone with less thickness than for a thick clam chowder. As a result, the ladle 11 is decelerated at the standby position A (FIG. 12) as a switching point. Therefore, the inertial force acting on the soup beverage before the ladle 11 stops at the discharge position D is more effectively reduced.

  The whole soup beverage is agitated by the backward movement mode of the present embodiment. Thereby, the subdivided soup beverage has a predetermined amount of ingredients for each sale, and thus the quality is maintained. In addition, due to the backward movement mode, for example, ingredients, extracts and the like in the ladle 11 are at a rear position C (FIG. 12) higher than the amplitude BB ′ (FIG. 12) in the reciprocating mode, It becomes easy to fall in the ladle 11, and it becomes difficult to deposit 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 is maintained. Further, in the sliding table data 203a, the current value I2 is set to be large in the order of thickening of the soup beverage (clam chowda, corn soup, minestrone). As a result, the driving force of the ladle 11 in the backward movement mode is larger for a thick clam chowder, for example, compared with a minestrone with a little thickness. Therefore, the whole of the soup beverage that is hard to be transmitted to the ladle 11 and is thick can be stirred immediately before the subdivision. Therefore, the quality of a thick soup beverage can be maintained as in the case of a soup beverage with little thickness.

  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 above-described embodiment, the position of the ladle 11 where deceleration starts in the discharge mode is the front position B (FIG. 12), but is not limited thereto. For example, the ladle 11 is integrated with the hopper 40 at a position (see FIGS. 9B and 9C) where the hopper 40 starts to rotate outwardly beyond the opening 5a of the container 5 around the support shaft 41. It may be decelerated. Thereby, at least the speed at which the hopper 40 rotates around the support shaft 41 is alleviated, so that the soup beverage is less likely to jump when subdividing. Moreover, although the sliding mode of embodiment mentioned above consisted of the forward movement mode, the backward movement mode, and the hoisting mode, it is not limited to this. For example, the sliding mode may be only the lifting mode. In other words, if there is a soup beverage supply command when the ladle 11 in the reciprocating mode is sliding forward in FIG. 12, the ladle 11 is slid to the position just before the hopper 40 is rotated. (Upward mode) may be decelerated. In addition, when there is a supply command when sliding backward in FIG. 12, the ladle 11 is folded back at the position where the supply command is issued and slides to the position immediately before the hopper 40 is rotated (掬(Up mode), may be decelerated.

  In the above-described embodiment, the switching point of the speed of the drive motor 28 in the lifting mode is the standby position A. However, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, between the standby position A and the front position B. Any position may be used.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the current value in the uplift mode is two steps, but the present invention is not limited to this, and as the ladle 11 approaches the front position B, the driving force is reduced to 3 It is preferable to set it as a step or more. In this way, the inertial force acting on the soup beverage can be reduced more effectively, and the soup beverage can be subdivided so as not to jump off.

  Furthermore, in the above-described soup beverage supply apparatus, the ladle 11 slides with respect to the fixed position, but is not limited to this. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 17, the soup beverage supply apparatus includes a liquid surface position sensor (remaining amount detection unit) 290 that detects the height of the liquid surface of the soup beverage in the container 5, and the liquid surface The position sensor 290 may transmit the liquid level data to the CPU 201 in a timely manner. If the CPU 201 sets the front position B, the position B ′, the rear position C, etc. according to the height of the liquid level of the soup beverage, the ladle 11 can always slide within the remaining amount of the soup beverage. Even without using the liquid level sensor 290, the remaining amount of the soup beverage is calculated by subtracting one sales amount corresponding to the capacity of the ladle from the initial amount of the soup beverage by the number of sales, and from the remaining amount. The front position B or the like may be calculated. Here, the initial amount and one sales amount of the soup beverage are, for example, parameters in an appropriate program for performing this calculation, and the number of sales is the number of times that the fraction start switch 32 is turned on. This number of times is measured by an appropriate counter included in the main control unit 200. In this way, the soup beverage can be stirred or sprinkled by the minimum sliding of the ladle 11 according to the remaining amount, and thus the operation cost of the soup beverage supply device can be saved.

  The drive motor 28 according to the above-described embodiment is a DC motor provided with a rotary 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. Therefore, the fact that this frequency is high and thus the rotational speed of the drive motor 28 is high corresponds to a large driving force.
