Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to a rotating eating and drinking stand that can serve food while keeping it warm.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Many restaurants have appeared in which a crescent chain is run sequentially over a counter to form a rotating eating and drinking table, and various foods conveyed by the crescent chain are selected and served for eating and drinking.

In restaurants of this type, products may be transported sequentially over a long period of time on the Crescent Chain until a customer makes a selection. Items that change the flavor are inappropriate, and currently, sushi (sushi) occupies the mainstream.

The problem to be solved by the invention is that when using such conventional technology, it is difficult to provide products other than natural products, such as products that require heat retention, such as dental caries and dental implants. There was a problem. As these products cool while being transported, their flavor deteriorates significantly, so some kind of heat-insulating means is required. This is because there was no heat-retaining means that could effectively keep it warm.

Therefore, in view of the actual state of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a new rotating eating and drinking stand that is provided with a warming table for effectively keeping products warm in parallel with a running crescent chain. .

Another object of the invention is to not only apply heat to the product, but also to add appropriate moisture to the product.
To provide a rotating eating and drinking stand which can prevent products from drying out and maintain a good flavor.

Means for Solving the Problems The structure of the present invention to achieve the object includes a counter, a crescent chain, a heat-retaining table, and a steam pipe, and the crescent chain runs sequentially on the upper surface of the counter. The product tray is transported, and a heat-retaining table is installed inside the counter along the running path of the crescent chain.A steam pipe is installed at the bottom of the heat-retaining table, and is connected to the top surface of the heat-retaining table via an on-off valve. The gist is that the device has a branch pipe that opens, and that an on-off valve opens when a product container is placed on a heat-retaining table.

With this configuration, there is no difference from the conventional method in that by operating the crescent chain sequentially, it is possible to provide products that do not require heat insulation. on the other hand,
When a steaming lid-shaped product container is placed on a heat-retaining table, the on-off valve opens and steam from the steam pipe is ejected into the product container via a branch pipe, allowing the product in the product container to be thoroughly heated. Can be kept warm.

In addition, since heat retention at this time is based on steam heating, it is possible not only to simply add heat, but also to add an appropriate amount of moisture.
Therefore, the flavor of the product can be maintained well.

Example Examples will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The rotating eating and drinking table has a counter 11 and a crescent chain 1.
2, a heat-retaining table 20, and a steam pipe 30 as main components (Fig. 1).

The crescent chain 12 is configured to run sequentially along the inside of the counter 11 on the upper surface of the counter 11 (FIGS. 1 and 2). crescent chain 12
For each link plate 12c, the pin 12b is placed on the upper side of the chain body 12a running in a vertical position.
A half-moon shaped slat 12d called a crescent is attached.

The crescent chain 12 is a kind of chain conveyor, and the product plate S1 is placed on the slats 12d, 12d...l.
, Sl... can be placed thereon and can freely bend and travel in the horizontal direction. The crescent chain 12 is driven to run by a drive motor (not shown) built into the counter 11.

The heat retention table 20 is disposed inside the counter 11 along the running path of the crescent chain 12.

The heat retention table 20 is connected via an L-shaped bracket 21.
It is detachably attached to the counter 11 (FIGS. 2 and 3). That is, the heat retention table 20 is
It is divided into appropriate length units in its longitudinal direction, and can be inserted into and removed from the bracket receiver 21a (FIG. 4).

The heat retention table 20 has a spacer member 22 filled with a heat insulating material 22a placed between it and the crescent chain 12 (FIGS. 2 and 3), and a pedestal 23, 23, on which the product container S2 is placed.・ is formed on the top surface. Pedestal 2
3 is a frame 23a, 2 for positioning the product container S2.
3b, and the inside thereof is also filled with a heat insulating material 23c. An on-off valve 35 that communicates with the steam pipe 30 projects from the center of the pedestal 23 .

The steam pipe 30 is connected to a boiler 31 at one end and provided with a pressure regulating valve 32 at the other end (Fig. 1).
The pedestals 23, 23, . Around the steam pipe 30, a cover 33 is provided with a heat insulating material 30a and further a heat insulating material 33a.

The steam pipe 30 is provided with branch pipes 34, 34, etc. so as to correspond to the central parts of the pedestals 23, 23, . It opens on the top surface of 23. That is, the on-off valve 35 includes a plug body 35a whose upper portion projects onto the upper surface of the base 23, and a compression spring 35b that biases the plug body 35a upward (FIG. 5).
By pushing down the stopper 35a, the on-off valve 35
It is something that can be opened. In addition, branch pipe 34.3
4... may be provided corresponding to all the pedestals 23, 23..., or may be provided at appropriate pitches larger than the size of the pedestals 23, 23....

Now, if product plates S1, Sl, etc. carrying products A and A are placed on the crescent chain 12 that runs in the order of rotation,
It is possible to provide product A that does not require heat retention (Fig. 1, Fig. 2).

On the other hand, if the boiler 31 is operated, the steam pipe 30 can be filled with steam corresponding to the set pressure of the pressure regulating valve 32. Therefore, the pedestal 2 B-1 of the heat retention table 20
=, when opening the on-off valve 35 by opening the product container S2,
The steam in the steam pipe 30 is transferred to the product container S via the branch pipe 34.
